Leila finally made a decision at Ebashi's suggestion.

That is, he led a team of three elite people to take Jiang Qiao and Hailan to track down the traces of the law thieves.

Others returned to Brandy Island to rest with the wounded.

Leila wasn't going to let go of the spell stealers because of the strength of the creatures on the island, because her pride wouldn't allow her to go home empty-handed this time.

If she returns to the battleship without even catching a single thief, she's the eldest daughter of the Freissy family... Although it will not be ruined, it will also end up with a reputation of returning from defeat.

Lyra had never failed in her Imperial mission at this stage, and this time she would not allow herself to fail.

"I said you shouldn't be showing me the way this time with the idea of going to die, right?"

Jiang Qiao followed behind Leila, and Leila's eyes became very terrifying from just now.

The three views of these otherworldly people are completely different from the modern people on the blue star, and Leila is the type who values honor above her own life.

Jiang Qiao doesn't understand the three views of this kind of person, so he doesn't give an evaluation.

"It's just a reconnaissance mission." Leila swung her sword and cut through a patch of grass that was blocking her path, saying, "I'm going to figure out where those spell thieves are hiding." ”

"And then?" Ehashi asks about Lyra's next move, and guides Layla to hire the Holy Spirits to help her hunt down the law-stealers.

"I know what you're thinking, but it's my job to catch those law-stealers."

Of course, Leila saw through Jiang Qiao's thoughts, although she had entrusted Jiang Qiao's Holy Spirit to arrest the law thieves, but Laila still thought that it was her duty to arrest all those law thieves.

But the situation on Brandy Island deteriorated to the point that Leila's soldiers could not cope with it, and they risked their lives when they walked on Brandand Island like this.

If she had entrusted the Holy Spirits to assist her... It will undoubtedly be a lot easier.

"Oh." Jiang Qiao didn't continue to persuade her, if she could let someone else replace her job and she could still fish, Jiang Qiao was very happy.

Leila is the kind of person who feels ashamed because of this, but her feelings of shame can cost her subordinates their lives, so Leila is struggling right now.

While Jiang Qiao was thinking like this, a young soldier who was exploring the path in front of him raised his hand slightly and motioned for everyone to stop.

Leila stopped her steps, and when she turned around and was about to say something to Ehashi, the fire spirit floating beside Ebashi suddenly rushed towards Leila.

The scorching flames came from the surface, causing Leila's pupils to widen, she didn't expect Jiang Qiao to suddenly attack her at such a time.

But Laila was already wary of Ebashi, and a ring on her hand shone brightly, and the barrier formed by magic overflowed on Leila's body.

Leila didn't know if this magic barrier could withstand the attack of the Jiangqiao Fire Spirit, but the Fire Spirit's target was not Leila, but the elite soldier behind Laila.

The fire spirit slammed directly into the soldier behind Lyra, and the scorching flames erupted on the soldier, then turned into several ropes and wrapped around the soldier.

Flame Bondage.

The field control skill, one of the four skills unique to the fire spirit, may not hurt or itch when used on monsters with rough skin and thick flesh.

But this soldier was miserable, the moment the scorching flames surrounded him, the heat instantly made his armor red, the flames made a sizzling sound on his body, and the smell of roasted meat could be faintly smelled.

The poor soldier fell to the ground screaming in pain.

"You..."Laila was about to accuse Jiang Qiao when she saw the soldier's long sword that fell to the ground, and remembered what happened a moment ago.

The elite soldier that Leila trusted, was about to raise her long sword and stab Leila the moment she turned around, and Ehashi restrained him with a fire spirit at this moment.

"It seems that there are a lot of two or five boys in your team." Jiang Qiao's right hand clenched lightly, and the soldier who fell to the ground let out an earth-shattering wail again.

After Jiang Qiao muted the soldier, he looked at the end of the forest in the distance.

"......" Leila raised the hilt of the long sword in her hand and directly knocked out the soldier who was bound by Jiang Qiao with flames.

Leila is not a silly sweet white like Hailan, she has realized that her soldiers have betrayed, but she can't bear to see the soldiers who were once loyal to her being tortured by Jiang Qiao, so she has to use this method to relieve his pain.

Sure enough, after the soldier fainted, Jiang Qiao released the flame restraints of the fire spirit, and the aroma of roasted meat still wafted in the air.

And at this moment, applause suddenly rang out in the forest.

"You're coming sooner than I expected, eldest daughter of the Philesy family, but why did you only bring these men? Have your soldiers been eaten by monsters on the way? ”

A man walked out of the side of the forest with a sudden and slow applause, dressed in prisoner's clothing, followed by more than a dozen fugitives who were also dressed as prisoners, and beside the prisoner was an old man dressed in religious clothing.

"Dunheath! Damn..."

Layla raised her sword and pointed it at the man, who was none other than Dunheath Pusion, the most wanted criminal in the Dawn Empire and the leader of the Stealers.

But what makes Layla feel a little weird... It was as if the man and the thieves had been waiting for her for a long time.

Not just waiting for her, but also the soldiers she pursues.

Seems... It's as if they were the hunters and Leila was the prey.

"Oh, little one, it looks like you haven't figured out what's going on? But you don't have to understand that it's better for children to go home and listen to fairy tales, but then only the goddess of death can tell you fairy tales. ”

The man named Dunheath announced all this in a sad voice, and Leila was stunned for a moment, but she saw the one standing next to the man... The old man dressed in religion instantly understood something.

"Why are you here, Bishop Senna?" Leila asked, a little uncontrollably.

The bishop closed his eyes in some pain, then turned his head away from looking any more.

"Still don't understand? Little sheep. Dunheath seemed to enjoy Lyra's bewildered look.

"Uh... At this time, do you need me to play as a professional commentator? ”

Jiang Qiao watched from the side for a long time, and Leila was the authority so she couldn't understand it at all, but Jiang Qiao understood it at a glance as a bystander.

"What do you mean?" Lyra is out of control.

"It wasn't this soldier who betrayed you." Jiang Qiao pointed to the soldiers on the ground who had been knocked unconscious by Leila and said, "It is possible that the betrayal of you is the entire Yaori Empire, to be precise, some high-ranking people in the Yaori Empire. ”

Jiang Qiao knew that with such a huge amount of energy on Brandy Island, no human being could resist the temptation, let alone these high-ranking members of the empire.

They must have thought of some way to harness the energy of Brandy, this way... A living offering is required.

Leila, along with her pursuer soldiers, are living sacrifices!
