"Sid!"

Xia recognized the person at a glance.

How did this Varg City garrison chief come here?

- Is it because of yourself?

"No way, I shouldn't have shown any flaws when I entered the city."

Xia lowered his head slightly, letting the hood cover his eyes: "This person has always looked at me unpleasantly, so it's better not to let him find out about me." ”

"General Sid, good day."

Edith recognized the demon rider general and gave him a noble salute.

The other party has served as the head of the garrison of the royal capital for more than ten years, and she was taken by her parents to visit Sid's house when she was a child, but this old general is jealous and hateful, and he is not very cold to ordinary nobles.

"Edith, I didn't expect you to be here."

Seeing this junior he had watched grow up since childhood, the expression on Side's face softened a little:

He moved his gaze back to Natsu's body and said in a slow tone:

"I'm here just to ask something about the heroine who saved Wag City."

"Saved Wag City?"

Edith and the others looked at Natsu suspiciously, not understanding what was going on.

If this is true, calling her a hero is worthy of the name, but why did she take such a sudden attack-like way to visit?

"Heroes don't dare to be."

Xia replied calmly:

"I just happened to be passing by here, so I helped out."

"Haha, what a handy help."

Sid laughed.

As he said, it really doesn't look like he's looking for trouble.

"A single move by a strong person can often change the fate of many people."

At this point, he turned his words and pointed to the three little orc girls:

"It's like them."

Lulu and Polly were so frightened that they hid behind Natsu at this point. Only Ruya had her back to this side, still eating the grilled fish there wholeheartedly, and it seemed that she would not look back until she finished eating.

Yes? This old man seems to be pretty good.

Xia originally thought that Sid was the kind of meticulous old-fashioned, but he didn't expect that although he had a mean face, he was actually quite reasonable.

But the other party's next words didn't let her think so.

"But before I can do that, I need to investigate your origins."

Sid waved his hand at the two Knights in the Silver Helmet, who had been guarding the doorway as they entered.

The two knights approached Natsu silently. One stood at her side.

"What does that mean?"

She stood there motionless and asked in a deep voice.

Although the other party did not draw his sword, this obvious act of hijacking made her very unhappy.

"Some monsters have entered the city."

Sid said lightly:

"The two of them are only in charge of keeping you safe for the time being."

What about the crooks?

Xia scolded secretly.

"Old general, there should be some misunderstanding here......

Edith spoke up from the sidelines:

"This is my friend, and I can guarantee that she is not a bad person or a spy."

"I said it, just wanted to ask her something."

Side was unmoved:

"As for you, it's okay to stay and watch if you want, it's not a secret anyway."

Edith and Gloria glanced at each other, and Edith nodded:

"Then we'll stay."

"I'm not very suspicious. As a hero who saved hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, I shouldn't have doubted you originally. ”

Sid flicked his cloak, revealing the great sword on his back:

"But you're hiding three orcs, and they're not your slaves...... Together, these two things are a bit strange. ”

He looked at Xia and said:

"Either reveal your identity and dispel my doubts; Either get rid of them, choose one or the other, and that's a special case based on your previous merits. ”

His words are overbearing. And there is no room for it, it seems that this is what the old general is.

"Sister?"

Ruya had already finished eating the grilled fish by this time. Suddenly he noticed that there were many more people in the room, and he retreated in fear and shrank into the corner.

Xia was standing beside two strangers at this time, and although the knight's armor was not hideous, it was also full of power, enough to scare this young child.

"Boom!"

A white glow appeared on Natsu's body. The two knights next to him only felt a shock on their bodies, and involuntarily fell to the sides, hitting the wall hard.

"Don't be afraid."

She pulled Polly and Lulu behind unscathed, leaving them and Rua in the corner, reaching for the sword on her back.

"That's your answer?"

Sid stood there and said quietly.

"They're still kids. Nothing to understand. ”

Natsu lowered the tip of her sword to the ground, her usual starting stance.

If the little Lori in black is here, she will know that she is ready to make a move.

"Edith, I'm sorry."

She spoke to Edith.

Then dragged the long sword and slowly walked forward:

"I'm sorry, I don't want to choose between the two you said."

"Protect the General!"

The two knights stood up from the wall, drew their swords and charged at her.

They are the elite of the Silver Sheath Knights, each of them has a good level, and although the angle of the sword is not vicious, if it is stabbed, it will be a serious injury that will not be able to move.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

After two soft sounds, half of the sword in the knight's hand remained.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them felt a mess in their brains, their reactions were half a beat slower, their heads hurt at the same time, and their bodies slowly fell to their knees.

"Master!"

The black-clothed little Lori, who was searching around for Denis wine, noticed the anomaly and hurried over.

"Looking at the other party's information, he shouldn't be able to use magic now."

Xia said calmly in his mind.

"Elemental Knight LV815, Forbidden Status."

The little Lori in black called up Sid's message.

"Is it more than 800...... He should be stronger than Kevin, but he's not a pure swordsman, so I should be able to beat it now. ”

Xia raised the tip of his sword slightly, which was a harbinger of an imminent attack.

For the first time since the crossing, she had seen the information of the five turns.

"Summer. Don't do that, General Sid he is ......"

Edith was about to say something, but Natsu had already done it.

- Her identity cannot be revealed, and she will never hand over the three Lulu; And the other party's attitude is there, there is no room for maneuver at all, what else is there to say?

I saw her legs bounce on the ground. Lowering his body and rushing towards Sid, the sword slashed a white light.

"Even if it's not a formal physics profession, as a tough general, Sid's power is definitely above me."

"In terms of speed, it should be half a pound and eight taels, and the opponent is older, and the flexibility and endurance are definitely not as good as when I was younger, which is my advantage."

"But what I know, he must have understood, and when he sees me attacking head-on, he will probably think it's a feint. Just look at his well-organized attitude, waiting for my sword momentum to change. ”

Before rushing over, Xia made a plan:

- She's going to attack! Quick!

"Drink!"

Just as the two sides were about to make contact, she leapt forward and slashed her sword with both hands.

This was clearly a surprise to Sid.

But he was incomparably experienced in combat, and the big sword in his hand rose slightly, and his legs sank to his knees, and he easily held the sword.

"Shhh

Then the second sword arrived. This time the force was more than twice as heavy as the last time, and I felt the force above. Sid's eyes became solemn.

"O Radiance, please gather on the warriors, let their steps be as light as feathers, and let their swords be unusually sharp - Aurora Guardian!"

At this time, Gloria suddenly unleashed a high-level auxiliary divine spell at Natsu, and a golden light enveloped her whole body.

"Little Lily?"

Edith didn't expect her friend, who had never been troublemaker, to make a fuss, and was surprised to see her.

Gloria turned her face to the side. There was no sound.

"Huh, it works?"

Xia felt that his speed was suddenly a lot faster, and the strength in his hand also increased rapidly, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, and the third sword slashed down as fast as lightning. Struck the blade of the greatsword.

Sid felt a hurricane rush over him, and the power of the sword increased again, forcing him to take a big step back.

However, the opponent's attacks became heavier and heavier each time, and they continued continuously, and soon exceeded the limit of what he could withstand.

"Bang!"

The great sword suddenly shattered in its entirety.

Sid screamed and fell backwards, blood running from his mouth.

"Let's go!"

Natsu didn't kill the old general, she rushed to the three little girls as fast as she could, nodded slightly at Glori and Edith, and jumped out of the window with the three of them in her arms.

"Summer!"

Edith chased to the window, and saw only the sparse pedestrians on the dark Skydome Street, and the shadow of the silver-haired girl was completely absent.

"General......

The two knights got up from the ground, the attack they received just now was not severe, plus the two of them had strong physiques, they just woke up after a short coma.

"Hehehe...... Hahaha!! ”

Hearing Edith's name, the old general sat down on the ground and laughed.

Oops!

Edith had just called out Natsu's name in a hurry, and only after speaking out did she realize that she had made a big mistake.

In fact, her reaction is not slow, the sad thing is that someone's name is only one word, if it is a little longer, she will definitely stop in time.

One of the knights came angrily with a long sword that was only half left, but he did not dare to point his sword at the eldest lady, and said in a loud voice:

"Miss Edith, I hope to hear your reasonable explanation!"

"I don't have to explain it to you."

Anyway, today this matter is irreparable, and Edith has calmed down.

She is a direct descendant of a high-ranking nobleman, and she is also a mage at the level of a magician (3rd turn peak), with a high status, and she is not afraid of a knight guard at all.

"Don't help me!"

Sid opened the hand of the other knight who wanted to support him, gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, with a smile on his old face:

"You two go down first."

He said to the two knights:

"I have something to say to them."

It was an order, and the two knights reluctantly left.

They don't know Glori, but Edith and the two know each other, this magic star is very famous, and the family has been friends with the old general for generations, not to mention that in this period of magician = waste, the old general's strength is quite strong, and these two girls are not opponents at all.

"Edith, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Sid looked at Edith and said:

"You'd better think clearly...... This will determine my attitude towards your family. ”

His words were not insignificant, and Edith's body trembled, and she lowered her head and said:

"I don't have much to say."

"Yes."

Sid had a smile on his face, patted the dirt on his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sighed:

"Old...... It's a young man's world now, she's not even 20 years old this year, right? The last sword actually had a little shadow of a sword master. ”

Hearing his words, Edith was shocked:

Did he already perceive something?

It's all my fault, and in a hurry, I actually called out Xia's name.

She blamed herself in her heart.

"The things you want to confirm have been confirmed, so there's no need to stay here any longer."

Side didn't embarrass the two - that's why Xia was relieved to leave, the old general wasn't a bad guy.

He reached out and kicked the shard of the great sword on the ground, shook his head, and turned and walked out of the room.

"General, she has left the city wall on the west side, and should be heading for the plain."

A masked guard appeared beside him and whispered.

"Plains? Didn't you go to Gondia, strange. ”

Sid touched his long beard:

"How's the analysis of that goblin?"

"The Order's guy is doing it, and the results should be forthcoming."

"Although Monroe is a knight protector, his research on divine arts is not under the bishops of some places, so there must be no accidents."

Sid took a saber from his hand and put it at his waist:

"But he's an outsider after all, keep an eye on him and don't let him hide anything...... The stakes are too great for the Order to get ahead of us. ”

"Yes, General."

The Dark Guard pulled a thin piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Sid:

"Monroe used the Holy Light to rewind, revealing images from the goblin's mind, which Thirteen had deliberately drawn."

"Let's go down."

Sid gestured to him.

Then he walked to a hidden place and looked at the girl on the paper:

"Sure enough, it's you, Your Highness the princess who escaped."

He put the paper away, and his face became grim:

"The royal family, the Order, some ill-intentioned nobles...... Now even the Empire is looking for you! What kind of trouble have you caused? ”

……

"Master, let's not go anyway......"

The little Lori in black flew in the sky with the sleeping Polly in her arms and said worriedly.

"Why not?"

Xia ran cautiously with the two little ones in her arms, for fear of upsetting them.

The two of them had now turned back from the plain and were heading in the direction of the royal capital, and if nothing else, the walls of Gondia would be visible in about three hours.

"The magical defenses of the major cities have all been paralyzed, the monsters outside are raging, and the Order is preparing to launch an attack on the white-haired demons, now is a golden opportunity."

Xia is already ready to plan:

"I have a strange premonition that we will first find a trusted person to help take care of Lulu and the others, and then find a way to find the helper mentioned in the hidden mission......"

She looked ahead at the darkness and felt that something unknown was waiting for her. (To be continued......) R1071
