……

That evening, in a mountain village tavern in the Cleveland hills.

"Brother Sean, where are you going?" Buchen took a shallow sip of his wine glass and asked seemingly casually.

Sean Sterling smiled slightly, and did not doubt him, and said: "To be honest, I went to serve in the Eight-Nation Alliance!" ”

Buchen's eyes narrowed slightly, he naturally knew that Sean Sterling was not telling the truth at all, but this did not prevent him from continuing the topic, anyway, they were just fooling each other now......

"Potency?"

"Yes." Sterling nodded, and said with a look of righteous indignation: "Without the nobles of Andris, how could the apostate King Charles return to the Western Continent, and without the coronation of the Holy See, how could he inherit the throne?" But he was ungrateful, killed the nobles, confiscated their family property, privately divided their fiefs, and created a rebellion against the Holy See. And I went to join the army this time to help the eight kings and get rid of this thief! ”

"That's right! This thief should not only be punished, but also go to hell! Buchen hurriedly echoed, his current identity is the priest of the Creation God Sect, if he doesn't show a positive attitude, isn't this suspicious?

As for King Charles's deeds, Buchen has also found out clearly during this period of time, but unlike Sterling, Buchen feels that King Charles has not done anything wrong, and the people of the Western Continent have been suffering from religious wars for a long time, although most people dare not say it, but they are actually tired of the endless religious vendettas, and there is a lack of one person to stand up and end it all before.

Now that King Charles has stepped forward, although the means are very debatable, he has indeed taken the first step, and as long as he can continue to walk unswervingly, sooner or later he will be able to truly stop the war.

And it is precisely because of this thinking that Buchen's determination to assassinate the Eight Kings has been strengthened! In the past, he may have come to assassinate the king in order to challenge himself and pursue excitement. But now, he has found a greater purpose.

Although the Nine Kings Assassination Order does not explicitly state that the assassination of the Nine Kings is to save King Charles' crisis, as long as they are people of normal intelligence and have some understanding of the situation of the war, they can see at a glance that the real purpose of this assassination order is to save King Charles.

"Father Ward is here to help with this thief, right?" Sterling asked with a smile as he drained the ale from his glass.

Buchen nodded slightly, and said indignantly: "Yes, this thief spreads false reasoning and heresies, trying to disturb people's hearts, so that my sect will lose its prestige, so that the goddess can no longer be the only true god in the hearts of the people of the north, since I am a devout believer in the goddess, how can I not come forward?!" As he spoke, he slammed his glass on the table, and his eyes turned red, as if he really had a grudge against King Charles.

Ward is the surname of the West Continent given to himself by Buchen, world = world. His full name is now Henry Ward.

At this time, Sterling was completely fooled by the righteousness of the unsubordinate, he bowed in admiration, and said: "Father Ward is not skilled in martial arts, and he can resolutely go to the battlefield when the second soldier is in danger, I Shaun Sterling admires it to the fullest, so let's prevent future bandits from robbing the road and wanting to harm the priest, and I will go with the priest on the next road!" ”

The corners of Buchen's mouth twitched, it seems that this acting can't be too realistic, otherwise it will be happy and sad......

"This ...... After all, the Sean brothers still have to join the army, and it would not be good if they made a mistake for their brothers. He said without hesitation.

"It's okay!" Sean Sterling waved his hand abruptly and said boldly: "It is said that the current battle situation is stalemate, and it doesn't matter if you are late." ”

This is a fact, under the desperate resistance of the soldiers and civilians of Kevin City, although the Eight-Nation Alliance once used the forbidden spell to knock down several city walls, they did not succeed in breaking the city.

And the current weather also helped King Charles, he used the method of dripping water into ice, not only blocked the gaps in the city wall, but also strengthened other parts of the city wall.

Moreover, in this war, which seemed to be going to develop for a long time, King Charles and the Eight-Nation Alliance were not short of food, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was backed by the Bradley Kingdom, the granary of the northern part of the Western Continent, and the granaries of the other seven countries; King Charles, on the other hand, made preparations early in the morning, raided the papal nobles, and moved all the grain stored in their fiefdom granaries back to Kevin City, which was said to be enough to support Kevin City for a year and a half if it was supplied with wartime rations.

Therefore, the current offensive and defensive battle of Kevin City is really only left to drag on for time and desperately.

As for why Sterling was willing to go with Buchen and the others, wasn't he worried that the assassins would arrive early and assassinate all eight kings?

There's a reason for that, they weren't slow, and thanks to the good horses under their crotch, they weren't as fast as Sterling, who rode alone, but not much worse than him. If the rest of the journey had followed Sterling's pace, it wouldn't have dragged him back at all.

There is a clear proof of this, after Sterling "saved" Buchen and his party this afternoon, he was going to say a few words and leave, but he didn't expect this meeting to stop talking, and it continued directly to this mountain village tavern......

As for the other reason, before Sterling set out to hunt down them, he had already sent a letter to the Eight Kingdoms with a flying pigeon, informing them that there were assassins who would go to them and make them more vigilant, and the direct consequence of this move was that the eight kings, whether they had been on the battlefield before or not, were now all together with their most elite guards, and they were all in the Eight-Nation Alliance at the moment.

But it doesn't matter if they are in this group, any assassin has to weigh it in the face of this lineup, it is not the elite of the Holy City State, but the elite of eight countries, and they are still extremely vigilant, how can this be that the assassins can break into it at will?

It's just that considering the skills of those assassins, and there is an unheard of sharp weapon that can emit lead bullets, I am afraid that they will not retreat easily, but even so, if you want to break through the assassin king, you need careful planning, and this will undoubtedly take time.

So for Sean Sterling, there's no need to be in a hurry.

Of course, if Sterling knew that the sanctimonious man sitting in front of him was the assassin he had been thinking about and wanted to put to death, he would have turned his back on it in anger.

Not only does he have a good time with his enemies, but he also has to escort them, what a shameful thing to do?!

Buchen sighed in his heart, depressed to the extreme, it seems that they can't get rid of Sean Sterling.

……

In the early morning of the next day, virtual reality, the Bird's Nest training ground.

"Haha, haha, ahhahahahahaha!" Xiaoxi pointed at the annoyed Buchen, and his waist couldn't straighten up with a smile.

"I mean, you're almost enough!" Buchen said with a stinky face.

"How funny do you kid have to be?! was so involved in acting, he moved the enemy, and he insisted on being your bodyguard! Xiaoxi smiled and said with a trembling branch, "That Sean Sterling is also a joker, he was stunned by a milky and unwilling boy, and he still talked to you about wine and called brothers, is there anything more ridiculous in this world?!" ”

"You ......"

The seven orifices who were not angry were smoking, and just wanted to scold, but they were stopped by Ai Ai on the side.

"Henry, do you want to be punished by the little tide god again?!" Ai Ai said helplessly.

"Alas!" Buchen gritted his teeth, he is to Xiaoxi what Pop is to him!

The situation is stronger than man, and it is also applicable to him......

"Little Shiogami, do you have a solution?" Ai Ai asked Xiaoxi with a sincere face. They can't beat Sean Sterling, relying on the fire (harmony) gun, and they can only fight each other at best, but for them who still have eight kings to assassinate, this is obviously unacceptable.

"That's right! Little tide god, give us the power to deal with that guy in Stirling! Fei Fei also folded her hands and looked at Xiao Xidao expectantly.

"Ahem!" Hearing this, Xiaoxi stopped laughing, and coughed twice in embarrassment, of course she was...... Unable to have an impact on the real world.

However, if there is a solution to Sterling, she is not without it.

"Boy, you should walk with him for a while!" Xiao Xi stared at Buchen and said, "Let's practice the fighting spirit to the seventh level first." ”
