04 - Stalemate

...... This little girl is the weirdest!

Doug's uneasiness grew stronger, and the dagger in his hand couldn't help but move closer to the girl's snow-white neck. He trusted his instincts very much www.biquge.info and had escaped several disasters on the streets, so although he couldn't find anything strange about the little girl, he still believed that she must have hole cards that he didn't know, otherwise he couldn't be so calm and composed.

"Phew...... I must open the pedal under your feet on the hanging!"

Just when things were at a stalemate, the 'Fly of the Royal Capital' over there had almost come to his senses, and staggered to his feet amid the laughter of everyone, his young and resentful face was stained with blood, and the corners of his mouth were also red, gasping and spitting blood, his two eyes stared at the big warrior desperately, with the red silk on his eyeballs, very much like a person who fell into a precursor to madness: "I'll give it again...... Call...... You think about it for ten seconds, and you ...... Drop your weapons and surrender quickly, or else...... Whew, Whew...... This little girl is going to be the first to pay for your stupidity!"

Gasping for breath, he staggered to Doug's side, pulled out a gold-inlaid silver dagger from his waist and embellished with precious stones, and with a hideous smile on his face, he gestured the tip of the blade viciously at the little face. Since his eyes were always on the big man, and he didn't look at this side at all, it was really dangerous to make a random gesture with the dagger, and Doug had to quickly adjust his position and leave West a little quietly, lest the little girl really be accidentally slashed by the dagger.

-- When you are a dog, you have to judge the situation calmly, otherwise you can easily become a scapegoat...... Since the situation is not easy to judge, it is better to be cautious.

"There are people who do pay for their stupidity. ”

Doug suddenly heard the hostage in his arms muttering quietly, but the content of the words made his back break out in a cold sweat, and he clearly heard the grunt in his throat - who is this beautiful girl?

It seems that I have to be more careful...... Doug secretly warned himself that even if the three of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, the real background was certainly not so simple.

...... But what about the current situation?

Doug frowned, and in a matter of seconds quickly decided to identify Mingwest. In the power structure of the empire, the speaker is considered to be the pinnacle of the figure, and the consequences of his son's action can be imagined, so that the other party has to consider a lot of things if he wants to make a move, and even if there is still a conflict in the end, he will consciously control the strength and subconsciously avoid causing the most serious consequences-

Having made up his mind, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly;

"Yes, you untouchables, lay down your arms! Know that you are facing Baron West Cabech, the son of the Speaker of the Imperial Empire and the famous 'Eagle of the Royal Capital'! You lowly people dare to offend the honorable him! Get down on your knees and weep and beg for his mercy!"

The 'Eagle West' of the Royal Capital turned his head and gave Doug an appreciative look, the expression on his face looked much better, his thin body involuntarily straightened up, and his chin was directly at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal line, trying to show the posture of the 'eagle', but he completely forgot the incompatible 'colors' on his face.

Doug skillfully replied to West with a 'loyal' smile, and Doug felt a little more relaxed, but carefully observed the enemy's reaction, and found that the situation was still grim - the man and woman opposite were only stunned for a moment after he reported West's identity, the woman immediately showed a disdainful expression, the man's big sword did not even shake a moment, and Doug also found that he was quietly looking at himself with an inquiring gaze - to be precise, towards the little girl.

It seemed that her judgment was correct, and this little girl was indeed unusual—her companion had no qualms about the Imperial Speaker, and such a powerful warrior should follow her instructions...... At the very least, ask for her opinion.

“...... Nine...... Ten!"

Over there, West endured the pain of the gums, and continued to count to ten vaguely, but the two people on the opposite side did not make any of the soft actions he expected, and the woman even gave him a big white eye, coupled with the burning pain of the wound, it suddenly made him feel that the "dignity" of his 'eagle of the royal capital' had been seriously stabbed, and he couldn't help but get angry from his heart, and after showing a hideous expression on his bloodstained face, the arm holding the dagger stiffened, and slashed towards the little girl's face!

Damn, this arrogant kid who doesn't know how thick the sky is!

Doug, who had always been vigilant, quickly took half a step back as soon as the dagger moved, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and cursed wildly in his heart. Cautious by nature, after he was pleasantly surprised to become a son's personal companion, he specially brought a heavy gift to find a 'senior master' to guide him, and the most important of the 'precepts' obtained was that his eyes must be bright when he came out with this kind of 'second ancestor', especially before finding out the details, he must not attack those unfathomable people!

"Idiot!"

"Stop!"

As Doug retreated, a disdainful snort and an angry roar came from the opposite side at the same time, the gorgeous woman sneered and spread her hands to the sky, the jewelry on her wrist instantly flashed with a strong electric light and enveloped her whole body, and the warrior also burst out with dazzling light after a roar, but it was the color of metal, and her eyes turned red like blood, and the beast was about to pounce on it as soon as she bent down slightly!

- God of War is on top!!

Doug looked at the light of different colors on the two opposites, but they both represented the same deadly meaning, his lips were already covered with cold sweat in one breath, and he was frightened and glad in his heart: sure enough, it was not a big mistake to be careful, the person opposite was really not a simple figure - the beautiful woman turned out to be a war mage who could operate the power of lightning, and the man turned out to be the 'Divine Bless Berserker' who had been recognized by the God of War and obtained the 'Protective Aura'!

Such a young and strong talent, even King Anagu II is likely to have personally recruited, and he has not met half of them in his spare time, but now he has provoked both of them at once - West is really a 'blessing'!

And judging from this, the identity of the little girl in his arms is more important than previously estimated, and I know with my ass that how can I treat such two people as subordinates, or at least friends, be soft characters?

Just as Doug speculated about the identity of the little girl and shivered involuntarily, the berserker on the opposite side had already jumped up in the air, and his cold eyes pounced like a falcon, and Doug had no doubt that even with such a bulky greatsword, he could easily avoid the little girl and insert himself into a cheese shape - except for the legendary 'Blood Crescent', the secret guardian of the Temple of War, the 'Divine Bless Berserker' is already the top class of human warriors, and the legendary ' Juggernaut' is basically in a similar position, and there are not enough of a hundred in the world!

Let go or not?

Doug was in a dilemma for a moment. Since he guessed that the identity of the little girl was by no means ordinary, he didn't dare to really attack her until the last moment...... But you can't let go, this is the only reliance on your side, if the other party goes to worry, no one knows what kind of retaliation will be used!

After only a moment's hesitation, the greatsword of the 'Bless Berserker' was already close at hand, and the light of the protective aura shook so that Doug was about to open his eyes, and the strong air flow brought by the tip of the sword pressed heavily on his face as hard as substance, sharp and powerful, and the fear of death hit his heart in an instant.

Damn it!

Doug gritted his teeth, and the dagger disappeared after a skillful turn between his fingers, and then his right hand came to the back of the little girl, who still had a calm and proud smile on her face, and suddenly pinched the defenseless little buttocks, and twisted it so hard after a tenth of a second.

"Ahh~~~~~~~~h

The scream that was enough to burst the eardrums of everyone present suddenly came from the mouth of the little girl who was still calm and confident in facing the Berserker's blade a second ago, and the strong vibration seemed to shake even the surrounding air, and Doug, who was close at hand, suddenly felt as if his head had been punched hard, and he shook dizzily several times before he stood firm.

The hunky 'Divine Bless Berserker' stiffened his body and slammed into the ground, staring at the little girl in disbelief, his eyes wider than a cow and an overly frightened expression, and the mage on the other side was no better, completely ignoring his beautiful face, opening a small cherry mouth to the limit, and could fit an entire swamp pseudo-dragon egg.

Terrible!

Doug shook his head, only to feel that his head was buzzing all the time, and then noticed that the big soldier was in a daze there, and realized that he had successfully escaped a crisis, and immediately subconsciously hugged the 'life-saving straw' in his arms tighter.

“...... I remember you. ”

Suddenly there was a crisp voice in his arms, and Doug lowered his head when he heard the voice, but saw that the girl's big eyes with a little tear were full of anger and hatred, and the restrained and mature expression was not at all like what her childish face should have.

"Sorry......"

Doug, who has been very accustomed to being an attendant recently, unconsciously said sorry, and then felt that it was inappropriate, leaned over and whispered in the little girl's ear: "I'm sorry Miss, please forgive me for my offense - but I'm also thinking about the overall situation, Young Master West is the heart and soul of the Imperial Council, if those two of your entourages really make Childe a little slipped, he will go crazy!

He whispered in the little girl's ear, so humble that it seemed to be her servant, but his hand did not relax at all, the blade still pressed tightly against her tender little neck, and the little girl's gaze did not soften in the slightest, and pierced him as tightly as a steel needle.

"Who's there!?"

A majestic shout suddenly came from behind the onlookers, and then accompanied by the heavy knocking of horses' hooves on the bluestone road, a small group of cavalry, who should have been attracted by the little girl's scream, appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The crowd of onlookers scrambled to get out of the way as the hoofs sounded like a torrential rain, and the cavalry skillfully guided the horses to disperse. The two groups of people who were obviously in a state of confrontation surrounded and easily controlled the situation; the knights in front were dressed in silver standard officer armor, and the others were all standard standard black armor of the palace guard, not the ugly gray outfit of the city defense army, and it looked like they were on the way to perform some mission; after the initial surprise, the expressions of everyone when they saw that this was a team of official imperial cavalry were different: the little girl turned her head indifferently and still stared at Doug's face, the battle mage and the blessed berserker were completely indifferent, and stood in place with the light on their bodies, without moving their eyebrows, while the people on West's side showed joy。

"I'm Imperial Baron West Cabech! Whose subordinates are you? Let the leader come out to me!"

West perked up his spirits, and very skillfully put on the nobleman's shelf, and proudly craned his neck to give the order, but to his surprise, the whole team of knights did not even move a hair as if they did not hear him speak: "...... Don't you hear? I'm Baron West Cabetch, son of the Speaker of the Empire! Do you want to be sent to the frontier to guard the barren mountains!?"

His words already had an angry tone, because of the shouting, the wound in his mouth was torn open again, and the pain began to come, which could not help but annoy him even more - what day is it, why is nothing going well?

As if the threat in his words had worked, the silver-armored knight in front of him gently pulled the reins of his horse, jumped from his horse to the ground with a gymnastic grace, and let out a gentle laugh as he reached to take off his helmet: "It's you, West!"

The knight took off his helmet in a dashing manner, and a long hair that shimmered like gold poured out at once, and at that moment, Doug suddenly felt that the light of all the gods was flickering behind the knight, and he could scarcely open his eyes—his golden hair was as bright as gold and as smooth as silk, and he was casually tied behind his head with a red band, which was soft and flowing without losing his manly spirit at all, and his red pupils were like the finest jewels. The young masculine face always has a kind expression, the thin and appropriate lips are shallowly pursed, and a gentle smile is drawn at the corner of the mouth, and he stands beside the most majestic horse in the team in the brilliant and heroic knight armor, just like the most handsome 'war angel' Abrodi in myths and legends descended to the world, instantly concealing the presence of all the male creatures around.
