Chapter 14: The Princess's Daughter, Leah
"Chirp!" A crisp eagle chirp sounded in the distant sky, and a black dot flew rapidly from far to near, flapping its wings and stopping on the arm of a young girl.
It is a beautiful large bird with golden feathers with spiral patterns and white tail feathers and head. The face resembles that of an owl in the Earth world, with a pair of large bright eyes on the front, and a body size similar to that of an owl. However, in Ebron's world, it's called the Bald Eagle.
The bald eagle is a small eagle among the eagles of Ebron, and its combat effectiveness among birds of prey is not very high. But the bald eagle has a high level of intelligence, sharp eyesight, can understand some simple syllables, and relies on systematic gestures and eagle language, it becomes the best aerial scout.
The ponytail girl who received the bald eagle let out a series of sharp eagle cries from her mouth, and a pair of slender little hands quickly changed her gestures to communicate with the bald eagle. After a while, the girl walked towards the front of the group.
"Lord Shepbys, the team of the eldest prince Felix has set off from the royal city, there are about more than a hundred people in total, half of them are black-clothed men of the Emerald Claw Regiment, and the leader of the team is none other than Leo Foster." After the ponytail girl finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and looked at the skeleton leader with a pretty face.
"Susan, I know you want to seek revenge on Leo. However, you must understand that we are only responsible for sending the envoy of His Royal Highness the Third Prince to the dungeon. Shepis glanced at the girl and said solemnly, "Red Rose won't do anything else!" ”
"I know!" Hearing Xue Pis's words, the young girl who called Susan was full of disappointment, but immediately raised her head stubbornly and looked at Xu Mo beside Xue Pis, "Your Excellency Cole, I heard that you are the most powerful assassin of Red Rose, after this trip, can you accept my commission!" ”
Xu Mo was slightly stunned, and looked back at the young girl. The girl wore a delicate leather armor, long riding boots, and a lace-trimmed white shirt tied around her waist with a thin belt.
The girl's name is Susan Cross, the eldest daughter of Half-Elf Phil, who has a quarter of Elven blood. Since Phil did not appoint an heir to the patriarch before his death, his three children were still young and lacked prestige among the Cross family, who were once in chaos.
Fortunately, the appearance of the third prince Brian solved this problem. Brian made a suggestion to the Cross family, and Phil's eldest daughter, Susan, led the members of the Cross family to participate in this escort.
If Susan is able to complete her mission and make a successful return, then the third prince Brian will support her and succeed Phil as the new patriarch of the Cross family. If Susan can't complete the mission, nine times out of ten she will die in the escort. Even if she escapes, Brian, who failed to win the throne, will not have the strength to support Susan again.
At that time, Phil's eldest brother will be in charge of the Cross family, and even change his court to join the eldest prince Felix. After all, the Cross family still has to maintain their own survival, and they can't bury the third prince Brian.
"What a look!" Xu Mo looked at Susan, but another equally heroic girl knight appeared in front of him, "Bridget, you're okay now!" ”
"Bridget?" Susan looked strangely at the iron-masked youth in front of her.
"Oh...... A friend of mine from before! She's a bit like you, she's so beautiful! Xu Mo said with a smile.
"Really?" Susan raised her eyebrows and asked without changing her face, "Then for the sake of your friend's face, can you do me this favor?" ”
"Haha, she's used to being just as aggressive as you!" Xu Mo smiled, "Let's go back first, I promise you, I will consider your commission!" ”
"Hey, old K, you're dizzy! Others don't know, don't you know yourself, the object of her revenge is you! In Xu Mo's soul imprint, Xue Pis's ridiculous voice sounded, "Could it be that you have that kind of perverted hobby, killing other people's fathers first, and then playing with his daughter?" ”
"Fart!" Xu Mo couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Is it good to have one yard to one yard!" What's more, in this escort mission, we always want to defeat the team of the eldest prince Felix.
"Do you need to do this?" Xue Pis glanced at Xu Mo suspiciously, "We are a few days ahead of them now, as long as we reach the dungeon first to sign the contract." If they enter the underworld, they will naturally have other top teams to deal with. We don't need to make a difference, do we? ”
"The eldest prince Felix has been paying attention to the movements of the Cross family, and the number of our team is as many as dozens of people, do you think we can hide Felix from going out of the city?" Xu Mo glanced at Xue Pis lightly, "Do you really think that Leo and them are for the Dragon Crystal Vein?" ”
"You're saying they're not here for the Dragon Crystal Vein, they're just trying to sabotage our operations?" Shepis was startled, and a solemn look appeared on his face, "If that's the case, we really have to get rid of them before entering the underworld, otherwise let them unite with other forces, and then it will be even more troublesome!" ”
"The eldest prince Felix now has a huge advantage in the battle for the throne. It doesn't matter if there is a dragon crystal vein or not, he doesn't care, as long as the third prince Brian gets the dragon crystal vein! Xu Mo looked up at the east, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"When the Emerald Dreadclaw attacked Phil, I carefully observed their battle patterns. They cooperate tacitly and have excellent martial arts, but they are just a bunch of spies and assassins after all. On the plains, the charge of the High Knights was enough to break up their small team. When we have gathered the sixty high-ranking knights of the Northern Army, we will do it! ”
"Although Brian gave me a token, I am afraid that the high-ranking knights will not obey the command. What if they had a commander of their own, or obeyed only the messenger! Sherbis said with a wry smile, "Why don't we just find a place with good terrain and launch an ambush." When you save time, there are many people and you can't act in unison! ”
"Don't worry, those high-ranking knights drawn from the Northern Army will definitely listen to us!" Xu Mo smiled mysteriously, "Not only will they not have a commander, but that messenger will definitely not be able to drive them!" ”
"Why? Didn't the eight high-ranking knights in the party bow down to the messenger? Xue Pisi looked at Xu Mo with a stunned expression, "Do you have any information to hide from me?" ”
"Because the messenger...... Grass, why do I have to tell you what I guessed! Xu Mo was just halfway through speaking, and when he looked back and saw Xue Pisi's unhappy expression, he suddenly felt annoyed.
"I was wrong, you name it!" Xue Pis immediately honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and looked at Xu Mo with a blank eye, "Is it right that we have an agreement, even if it is a guess, I want to know!" ”
"Okay!" Xu Mo was speechless for a while, sighed, and looked at Xue Pisi with disdain, "No wonder your kid is the top five MT in the Y space, and the strength of the team members is not bad, but he has always been able to mess around in the low-level council, and even relying on Xie Qian's advice to make a speaker of the House of Representatives." I really sympathize with Yi Yun and Oak them! ”
"You think everyone is a conspirator like you!" Shepis spread his hands helplessly, "I'm just a normal person, you can only guess the information, I can't think of it, what's so strange!" ”
"Since the third prince Brian thinks that there are two flattering speculators in the Northern Army, he will no longer trust those high-ranking officers! I believe that those sixty high-ranking knights are all relatively pure soldiers, and they should not question the authority of the third prince's token! ”
Xu Mo said lightly, "Unlike the eight high-ranking knights in the current team, those eight knights may not be Brian's people, they may just be the personal knights of that messenger." I suspect that the messenger may be ......"
……
"Your Highness Leah, even if you want to support His Highness Brian, you don't need to participate in this operation in person!" A knight beside the messenger made a crisp girlish voice from the armor like an iron can.
"I don't want to, but if Felix is put on the throne, I'm afraid he'll use me as a bargaining chip for a diplomatic marriage. Now that Phil is dead, Brian needs a trustworthy messenger again, and I'm the perfect fit! ”
A cold voice came from the cloak, "Besides, even if we can't succeed, my strength is enough to escape from the dungeon back to the surface." Anyway, Mr. Philip also said that I have reached the bottleneck of the Great Magician, and only by traveling abroad may I be able to get the opportunity to continue to improve! ”
"Your Highness Leah, aren't you planning to go back to Voot?" The knight girl exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmph, it's hard to get out of it, and you're forced to marry when you go back?" A slightly excited voice came from the cloak.
