Chapter 13: The King's Mandate (II)

Thirty miles outside of Kansas, eight fiery horses and a carriage galloped across the prairie.

Surprisingly, the carriage seemed to be unaffected by the grass, and its ride was surprisingly stable.

If you look closely, you will find that the wheels of the carriage are made of magic shafts, which make the wheels comfortable and reduce the obstruction of foreign objects, and the entire body is also made of specific materials, which can protect the safety of the people in the car even in the event of a surprise attack.

Several people on horseback were wearing iron mountain armor, wearing long swords at their waists, and carrying quivers and longbows on their backs, with grim expressions.

This line of people, with their disciplined movements and words and deeds, is convincing, and has an atmosphere that is different from that of ordinary knights. They have sharp eyes and are unrelenting in their guard.

Even in the open plains, the appearance of constant vigilance may be considered too timid. However, in this world where magic actually exists and monsters roam everywhere, no amount of difficulty can guarantee certain safety.

"General Justin, we have forty miles to go until we reach the junction." Benjamin said, pointing ahead.

Justin looked into the distance, his expression was a little anxious, this time the escort mission was very important, and there must be no mistakes and sloppiness.

"Everyone can speed up a little faster, and even if you are about to reach your destination, you can't let your guard down. Berkman, you continue to monitor the situation in the air, and if there is anything unusual, report it immediately! The others, led by me and centered on the carriage, continued to maintain a formation, alert to the situation around them. "Justin is on a mission to ensure the safety of the occupants of the car.

Along the way, they also killed many first-order low-level goblins, pig-headed people and other monsters, and they didn't live in peace.

As one of the Eight Guards, Berkman possessed a keen second-order magical insight. It is rumored that this area is often haunted by the Chimera, a cross-bred descendant of a griffin and an eight-legged green horse, and has a strong bloodline, ranking among the third-order monsters.

Suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation, this piece of sky was suddenly enveloped by a circle of light filled with rune seals, and the range was as far as three miles.

"What's going on? Berkman, why didn't you report us beforehand? Benjamin didn't know why.

"It's not that Berkman doesn't report us, it's that even his second-order magical insight hasn't detected this energy fluctuation. If I'm right, this should be an enchantment with a fourth-order magic cast. This was a big surprise to Justin, presumably someone deliberately intercepted them here, I am afraid that the purpose was to serve the great prince of the Grandz empire in the carriage.

It's just that this escort mission should be top secret, why would anyone know the route of their group?

Thinking of this, the corners of Justin's chapped mouth twitched, and some of the nobles in the empire wanted to kill themselves and the prince of the Grandz Empire.

In recent years, the royal faction has been suppressed by the aristocratic faction, and the power has been divided, and Justin's military power has played a great role in restricting it, so many people want his life, and this escort mission is a good opportunity.

"Hehe, they have entered our enchantment, so they have to wait for me to slaughter!" The one who spoke was a man in a black robe, his complexion was dark, and his facial features were ordinary and nothing prominent, but the black pupils were fierce and murderous, making people feel no emotion.

He is the head of the Black Swallow Army, one of the three major assassination departments directly under the command of the king of the Hilton Kingdom, Kenshin Uesugi.

The Black Yanbu is a group of people who specialize in illegal operations in the Hilton Kingdom, and they are only known by name, like a shadow.

Ever since the king of the Hilton Kingdom recruited the Demon Emperor "Ottrom" as a national minister, the whole country has begun to respect evil spirit magic, and it has reached the point of extreme madness.

Believing that the necrons could be manipulated, Otrom continued to uphold his legacy, so he excavated grave bones and collected corpses, creating a large number of undead demons such as skeleton soldiers and death knights.

In the Hilton Kingdom, it is not uncommon to see death knights being reorganized into the army to expand their strength, and some low-level useless skeleton soldiers are used to work in the fields. Gradually, the Kingdom of Hilton became known as the "Land of the Dead".

"It's almost time, let's get moving!" At the sound of Kenshin Uesugi's order, the eyes of everyone behind him turned as cold as glass beads, and they surrounded the barrier without any disorder, making people feel that this was the result of good training.

As an assassination department directly under the king, the number of combat meetings itself is small. When he received the order to ambush before, Uesugi Kenshin was ecstatic, he had not received the task assigned by the king for three months, this time he must take the head of Justin, the first general of the empire, and the prince of the Glanz Empire, and go back to receive the reward.

There were a total of 38 people in their group, and despite the small number of people, they were the elite of the elite, with superior physical fitness, strong spirit, and rich combat experience. Among them, there are many strong people who can use second- and third-order magical powers, and the captain Kenshin Uesugi is a master who can control fourth-order magical powers.

The reason why I chose to do it here is because this is a border territory belonging to the Thunder Alliance Empire, as long as the first general of the Thunder Alliance Empire is killed, Justin, the strength of the Thunder Alliance Empire will be greatly reduced, and the Glanz Empire will also be angry with the Thunder Alliance Empire because of the death of the eldest prince.

As we all know, the royal faction and the aristocratic faction of the Lei Alliance Empire are constantly vying for power. Justin, who was born as a commoner, was only valued by Tomafa for his excellent swordsmanship, and was hated by the aristocratic faction, so as long as he could eradicate Justin, who was important in the royal faction, it was easy for the aristocratic faction to act without thinking. Even if it is instigated and instigated by a certain country, it adopts this opinion without brainstorming.

In this way, the kingdom of Hilde could sit back and watch the two countries go to war and reap the benefits.

Because he was well prepared in advance, Uesugi Kenshin only had a sense of security in his heart that he was sure that the mission would be successful.

With a hint of mana, a gap opened in the barrier, and thirty-eight people leaped into it with extremely fast figures.

"Who are you who dare to intercept the King's immediate guard?" Benjamin asked.

Justin looked around, the opponent had the advantage in numbers, and the opponent was well-equipped, and the mana value was slightly higher than theirs. In addition, the barrier that enveloped this area could not be easily broken with their strength, and this time they really met an opponent.

"Why do those who are about to die know so much? Above! With Uesugi Kenshin's order, all the men beside him swept towards Justin and the others.
