As soon as the two turned around, they saw that Leah was already standing behind them in neat clothes, Kane was a little happy to see that she was still dressed as before, and imagined that she had made herself into the image of a middle-aged woman did not appear, and smiled and said, "Is it really not necessary?"

Leah smiled lightly and glanced at him, Kane was stunned for a while, and even James next to him was shocked, obviously this expression had absolutely nothing to do with her before, but at this time it was like a flash in the pan, but it was more and more striking than those who were already amorous.

Kane immediately noticed that there was something wrong with James's eyes, and quickly got up and took Leah's hand, coughed dryly and said, "Then let's go pack our bags and get ready to go." ”

James gave him a disdainful look, then shook his head and smiled, it would be nice to be able to maintain this relaxed state all the way.

So the group of five people continued to move forward, and after so many things happened, several people calmed down, in James's words, anyway, it's already like this, no matter how bad it is, how bad it can be.

The only thing that is a little worrying is that Mark and Wengris they still haven't met, Kane gradually feels that this matter may be a little strange, and it is normal for Wengris and Baroque to delay for a few more days because of their injuries, but Bert and Mark in front are very likely to have encountered something.

Presumably now that the matter of Voss City has been reported, according to Clarence, I am afraid that only a few people here in the entire empire do not know, so as long as Mark and Bert meet the town in front, they can probably know some news, and their first choice in the case of not being able to deal with this kind of emergency must be to return to inform Kane of them, and now they have been away for four days, if they are fast all the way, it is estimated that they can go to Voss City.

With Bert's personality, Kane naturally didn't believe that he would do anything to leave without permission, and besides, there was Mark, although he didn't quite understand why James would look at him differently, but there was definitely a reason.

Leah returned to her former calm, still holding hands with Kane and walking in front, after all this experience, several people talked a lot less, maybe they had a lot of their own things to consider.

However, Kane frowned and stopped, and the group of people along the way was almost accustomed to his action, and quickly looked around vigilantly.

"There was the sound of horses' hooves ahead. Kane turned his head to look at a few of them, "And it seems like there are more than two, but the voice is slow, not like Mark and them." ”

If it were Mark and the others, Kane believed they wouldn't have had the leisure to walk here.

Several people's nerves have been tense at any time these days, and they all put on a fighting posture when they heard him say that.

Kane shook his head, "I don't think they're coming for us, let's see." ”

Several people nodded, and each found a place next to him to hide, Kane pulled Leah to hide behind a large tree, and it didn't take long to see a group of people coming.

Kane frowned, and there were far more people than he had expected, led by a tall knight with his whole body hidden in armor, followed by seven or eight horses, all of whom were fierce-looking and heavily armed.

And it wasn't this one that surprised them the most, but the six or seven men on foot behind the horses, who looked a little strange, at least in Kane's opinion, and saw that they were still mostly human, wearing tattered clothes, but if you looked closely, you would find something different, some with cat-like ears, and even a long tail behind them, and some of them were extremely burly, with long fangs on their mouths.

As for the two people walking in the back, they were their old acquaintances, Mark and Bert, but their current situation was a little worse, Mark was covered in blood, one leg seemed to be lame, and Bert looked even worse, even his face was swollen like a pig's head.

Both the strange-looking men and Mark in the back were chained together by a chain as thick as a forearm, and behind them were still seven or eight fierce men on horses.

Then Kane found that the strange people seemed to be women, especially the two people with cat ears, and their bodies were already hot beyond common sense, Kane seemed to think of something, he had heard of a kind of businessman on this road before, they did not sell gold, jade, or silk brocade, but specialized in the field of other races, and sold them into slavery by all kinds of cruel means.

There was even a time when it was almost fashionable, and having an alien slave seemed to be a status symbol, and some boring aristocrats even wanted to get one at all costs, especially women, who were generally more expensive than they could have imagined.

However, the Holy See later issued a ban to prevent this ugly trade of human life as goods on a large scale, but in fact this matter has not been eradicated, but has become more and more obscure, and foreign slaves are even more precious, and even many merchants who originally did legitimate business have turned their attention to this lucrative industry.

Of course, this is not something that anyone can do, not to mention what kind of punishment they will face after being discovered, just hiring a decent group of bounty hunters is not something that ordinary people can afford, so those who still do this business are generally people with deep backgrounds and financial resources.

Naturally, Leah also saw the situation ahead, and turned her head to cast an inquiring look at Kane.

If it was just a group of ordinary slave traders, it would naturally be better to cause less trouble with their current situation of taking care of themselves, but two of them were their friends, so what they had to consider now was not whether to save them, but how to save them.

Kane observed carefully for a while, and found that the strength of these people was inferior, especially the knight who was the leader, Kane felt a strong aura in him, so it was unlikely that he would rush out and hold their leader hostage like he did last time he saved Salad.

The crowd has gradually approached, and James and they are still not moving, obviously waiting for Kane's decision, and now several people seem to have regarded Kane as the leader, probably because they were shocked by his strength a few times before, and even the priestess Shirley didn't say anything.

Kane thought about it and then took out his long sword, and whispered to Liya to stay still and walked straight out, there is no way to do it now, if it really can't be done, it can only come hard.

Seeing a person suddenly walk out of the side, a group of people stopped in surprise, but the leader smiled, "I thought you would stay quiet until we left, but I didn't expect you to dare to come out, in that case, let's talk about your intentions." ”

Kane smiled as well, "It looks like our hiding technique needs to be improved, but we really don't have any ill intentions, we just want to talk to Your Excellency about business." ”

"Talking about business?" the knight looked at him, "that's what I like, but the goods haven't been delivered to the real merchants, and if you really want them, you'll have to be patient, and if you come out halfway like this, I'll think you're not here to buy things but to grab them." ”

Kane smiled, "Your Excellency is really a competent subordinate, there are not many such people now, but I am not here to buy your so-called goods, I want to buy the two humans who follow behind, they are my friends." ”

"Maybe what you say is true, but now, they're my cargo. The Knight said with a disdainful look at Kane.

"Then you can make a price, I really hope to solve this matter with money, so that it is good for you and me. Kane looked back without flinching.

"Oh well. The knight nodded, "Since you are so friendly, I won't embarrass you, but at this price, or use the woman hiding next to you to exchange them back, I have no interest in men, they are not worth a lot of money." ”

Kane frowned, "Yes, then use your lives as the price of your arrogance!" After saying that, he drew his sword and stabbed him at lightning speed.

However, the sword did not stab, and the knight's reflexes and horsemanship were extraordinary, and he turned his horse sideways and blocked Kane's sharp sword with a broadsword.

Seeing this, James and the others naturally couldn't hide anymore, they all drew their swords and rushed out, and the people on horseback also rushed forward, and the two sides began a scuffle.

"Interesting, it seems that these guys are much better than I thought!" said the knight as he blocked Kane's sword.

Kane didn't speak, but Shirley on the side was furious, whether as the sister of the Empress of the Empire or a noble priest, she had never been insulted with such words.

"Arrow of Holy Light!" Shirley pointed to a knight in front of her, and saw a huge arrow shining with golden light falling from the sky, the man wanted to block it with a sword but underestimated Shirley's spell strength, and was immediately nailed to the ground by people and horses.

The leading knight frowned slightly when he saw this situation, it seemed that he didn't expect that there was a priest in the team here, if there was really any scruple in this industry, it was the Holy See, so he naturally had a bad feeling when he saw the priest.

However, he was stunned, but he felt a pain in his shoulder, and when he looked down, he saw that the long sword in Kane's hand had penetrated his thick armor and sunk into his left shoulder.

Kane drew his sword and smiled, "It's not wise to be distracted in battle. ”

As soon as the knight gritted his teeth, the broadsword in his hand changed to a stab, and Kane saw that a long white sword suddenly appeared on top of this broadsword, as if this sword had suddenly become much longer, and from the breath, this sword made people feel as if they were indestructible.

"Humph!" Kane snorted disdainfully, and swung his left hand forward, a white line meeting the sharp sword.
