Alan left Bay City without much fanfare, but quietly and even secretly.

He didn't want the people of Bay City to know that he was gone, because he was afraid that someone with a heart would make some mess at this juncture.

And he didn't want to affect the vibe that Bay City is heating up right now.

So he left along the secret passage in Pochi Castle, and before leaving, he had already explained the "aftermath" with Barry and Rowan, and only took a team of guards with him.

The secret passage in Pochi's castle had been discovered not long after he arrived, this secret passage started in the castle's kitchen and ended in a small forest not far from Bay City, which was very secret and safe enough, and it was the last escape route for the lord or lord of the city in the past.

At this point,

They were hurrying along the secret passage, the guards were in front and behind, Alan walked in the center, the secret passage was pitch black, fortunately they had prepared torches in advance.

The secret passage is extremely quiet, the sound of footsteps can be heard on the ground while walking, the firelight is in a trance, reflecting the shadows of several people floating uncertainly, coupled with the trivial sounds that appear in the secret passage from time to time (no one has been taken care of for a long time, rats and other creatures), this is a timid person walking here, it is estimated that he will be scared to cry.

However, there is no timid existence in Allen's group, Allen naturally needless to say, he has now become a mage known for his mystery, it is normal to scare others, but it is not normal for him to be scared, and he naturally does not feel any horror about the situation in front of him.

And the guards are also carefully selected by Allen from Reef City, but they are not shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they have strong psychological quality.

The pungent smell of tar from the torches concealed the original damp smell of the secret passage, and the sound of breathing accompanied the sound of footsteps, and they hurried with a slow pace, and I don't know how long it was, at a corner in front of them, the group suddenly walked to the end of the secret passage.

Climb the wooden escalator at the end of the secret passage, poke your head out, and a forest immediately comes into view.

The guards who went ahead surrounded the secret passage, and the head of the guard, Kyle, stared at the surroundings with a slightly serious face, and suddenly said to Allen, who crawled out half-body: "Young Master Allen, there are a few wind wolves, don't come out yet!"

Alan didn't actually notice the existence of any wind wolves, but he trusted the judgment of these experienced guards, so he chose to listen at this time.

Of course, the wind wolf can't actually threaten itself, but who knows if there is anything else here besides the wind wolf?

"It's really unlucky, I just came out and ran into a demonic beast. ”

Slightly depressed, Alan greeted the rest of the guards below him, and then just stood on the escalator, his upper body exposed, half-leaning against the entrance of the secret passage to look around.

In fact, his combat power is not necessarily weaker than that of the guard leader Kyle, but the necessary caution is still necessary, and the existence of the guards is to protect him, if he is so reckless and does not listen to advice, not to mention that there will be a chance of danger, let's just say that the guards as protectors will not feel good.

So he can't be like in some novels, the guards are not like the guards, as the master, but rush to the front first, and then leave the guards to watch the play in a daze, which is a mess.

The necessary respect and trust must still be given, otherwise the guards will have other unnecessary thoughts after a long time. After a long aristocratic career, Alan is still very clear about this.

At this time, the sun is rising, the warm and not dazzling sunlight shines in the woods, the shade of the trees blocks the rays of the sun, the shadows appear on the ground, autumn is coming, as a precursor, the breeze is constantly wafting in the trees, the leaves are slightly rattling, and the cries of birds appear from time to time in all directions.

Extremely bored, Alan looked at the comfortable scenery around him, and felt that the depression of long-term work had unconsciously dissipated a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

The scenery is beautiful and it looks very comfortable, and the wind wolf in Kyle's mouth never appears, but Alan believes that he must not be lying.

I stayed where I was and waited for a long time, and just when Alan was a little impatient, a gust of wind suddenly came!

"Whew-"

A slight air splitting sound came to Allen's ears, and then immediately, he found that in the southeast corner of his body, a translucent hidden wind blade suddenly shot towards him along the gap in the guards' defense!

Seeing this, Alan just leaned over and dodged this sudden attack.

"Clever!"

Although this method did not threaten him, Alan still sighed in admiration.

It was possible to observe who the leader of their group was, and to attack the leader in an attempt to cause chaos among the guards... Although the wind wolf is called a low-level magical beast, its hunting wisdom is not low-level, and it is the same as the wolves in Allen's memory in his previous life, he is cunning and ruthless in battle, and it is even much stronger than Allen's memory.

Because they can spell.

Just as Alan sighed inexplicably, the guards had already roared and rushed towards the surrounding wolves that suddenly burst out from their respective hiding places, followed by a burst of sword slashing and the sound of rapidly cutting through the air, and an endless stream began to appear.

There are about a dozen wind wolves, and the guards have not all come up from the secret passage, and there are only five of them, which seems to be a huge difference, but the victory or defeat will not be determined by the number.

Although the wind wolves have all the habits and characteristics of wolves, and they are very threatening to cooperate in hunting, their attacks are still too weak compared to their guards.

Each of the guards was dressed in full-body armor, the kind from head to tail, and the armor was of excellent quality, which was not at all something that these wind wolves could grasp with their mouths and claws.

And the wind blade method used as a spell attack can't be released casually, because it is a low-level magical beast, and it also takes a while for them to release their natural skills.

So after the initial seemingly fierce situation, the situation has always been one-sided, and the combat style of the guards is very simple, regardless of the impact of the wolves, catch a wolf and fight it to the death, kill the thing, and then replace the next one.

The gasps of the human wolves were incessant, and Alan observed the situation and found that the order of the wolves was much stronger than that of the guards.

From the very beginning, the wolves had been on the losing edge, but they didn't make any noise at all, except for a slight whimper when they were beaten too badly, except for wheezing.

On the contrary, the guards sometimes let out all kinds of low drinks because of the hard swing of their weapons, and they don't know how to cooperate with each other, and they are not as well-conditioned as the wolves.

"It seems that there is time to study the tactics of the regular army. ”

Alan thought for a moment, and the situation had become clearer.

The weapons in the hands of the guards are very sharp, and chopping up the wind wolf is like chopping wood, and a few "axes" are one.

The Wind Wolf's attack does not cause any damage to the guards, except for some claw scratches on the armor.

They were guarding very tightly, and the wolves couldn't break through their protection, and they couldn't do a decapitation operation.

It didn't take long for the wolves to suddenly hear a small howl, and then the wolves gave up the attack very decisively, turned around and scattered, and fled to the depths of the forest.

Although it is a long description, it took less than a minute from the beginning of the attack to the decisive retreat.

The guards didn't take advantage of the victory, and just watched the wolves leave, and finally waited a little longer before Kyle called Eren up.

"These brutes are really tough, they can't beat them and run, and they're smarter than some people. ”

Alan chatted with Kyle as he slapped the dirt that had stuck to him as he climbed out of the secret passage.

Kyle nodded, "If it weren't for this armor, we wouldn't have been so easy to deal with." ”

"Yes, this is only the lowest level of demonic beasts in the record. ”

Alan sighed and looked at the several wolf corpses scattered on the ground in front of him who were killed by the guards, he really couldn't imagine that these low-level demonic beasts were already like this, how powerful were those high-level ones?

Or how smart?

The guards at the entrance of the secret passage kept crawling out, and Alan looked at the surrounding scenery, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a low shout from the head of the guard, Kyle, "Be careful!"
