Just after the leader's strange scream, Salian saw another group of bandit-like figures emerge from behind a small hill on the side of the main road, all holding the pulley crossbow customarily used by the mercenaries of the Republic of Ports of the South Itkanlia, before the magic gun was popularized, this huge, long-range weapon that required both hands and feet to be wound was very popular on the continent, although it was inconvenient to use, but it was extremely powerful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Salian understood the purpose of the leader, which must be the last choice when the assassination mission could not be completed, that is, to abandon the means of capturing the target alive and directly obliterating him.

By this time, Anna had already dealt with several of the bandits surrounding her, wielding her bloodied thin sword to fight Salian to assist him in besieging the masked leader.

The leader had raised his strength to the strength of the Sword Saint, and a halberd swung a strong murderous aura to force Anna and Salian back, and said a secret word to the remaining bandits. Immediately the group was seen to gather quickly, in addition to the leader, there were three other masters of the handguards and swords in front of them, and the rest of the bandits with long swords retreated in the direction of the pulley crossbows, obviously to cover them.

As the swordsmen moved towards the hill, the gear crossbowmen on the top of the hill had already shot the winding arrows, and then dropped the crossbow in their hands and took a prepared one from their backs to continue shooting, which had to be said to be a clever move. Unfortunately, they met Salian.

In the face of the roaring arrows, Salian not only did not retreat, but walked in front of everyone, and the young man tried to stop Salian, but was stopped by his determined eyes.

I saw Salian standing with his sword in both hands, although the instrument was majestic and majestic, but it was as terrifying as the ancient demon god, and the purple glow in his eyes made people feel fear. However, this sense of oppression was a symbol of victory in the eyes of the Tutonians, and especially Anna and Miss Werther, who had similar aesthetic concepts, were even more fascinated, and Miss Werther in the carriage thought to herself that this must be the support she had been looking for, and that she would have to move more in front of her father when she returned.

In the face of those arrows, Salian used his most proud secret of the control horror arts, the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique, and suddenly their eyes widened as if they were being manipulated by a pair of large hands, and they all changed direction strangely, shooting in the direction of the longsword bandits. Because of the relationship between their backs to the arrows, these unprepared people could not resist at all, screaming and being pierced by the arrows, their bodies rolling and struggling in pain on the slope of the hill, and then letting out a series of miserable roars, their bodies gradually blackened, and finally all of them bled to death through seven holes, and it turned out that the arrows were fed with poison.

At the same time, Thérien's voice suddenly came to hear Teresa's voice in his head: "Estfaria asked me to tell you, she's here to help with these crossbowmen." ”

Immediately, Salian saw the crossbowmen suddenly run down the hill in terror, as if they were being driven by something, and sure enough, behind the hill a huge six-legged mechanical monster was chasing them, that is, Miss Werther's puppet "Raider MKII".

Seeing the successive setbacks in front of him, the masked leader was furious. At this time, those with strong enough perception could already hear the sound of a large group of cavalry approaching in the distance. The leader must have heard it, too, and he and two of his men swooped down on the Salian and them, leaving one man to go straight to the crossbowmen, but instead of helping, they killed them all. After the man finished his work, the leader took out a black magic crystal from his bosom and threw it on the ground, and in an instant, the necromantic aura gushed out, and dozens of skeleton warriors and undead knights suddenly appeared in front of Salian and them. When Salian had no time to pay attention to them, the four of them quickly ran to the hill on the other side of the road, where the space suddenly distorted, revealing a black figure, and after the leader and the others merged with the figure, there was another wave of magic, and they all disappeared into thin air.

"Oh, it's space magic!, and it's so easy to use multi-person teleportation, it's really not easy for this group of people to stay!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have spared any effort just now, and I would have killed them all, I would have wanted to catch them alive and ask! Now these people have moved at least ten kilometers away, because my terrifying secret art can no longer perceive them. Anna said hatefully.

After helping them destroy the necromantic creatures, the puppet vanished. Anna and Salian were very reluctant to talk.

"Thank you two for your help, My Highness would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you!"

The sturdy guard had come to Salian on behalf of his master to thank them, while the other had fallen to rest in a state of desperation from the side effects of the madness.

"Your Highness, is your master some noble royal family?" asked Salian curiously, though he probably already had some eyebrows in his heart. A figure worthy of sending an assassin of this caliber is certainly not ordinary.

"My Highness is the lord of this place, Mark Minus, the son of Archduke Joseph. ”

Sally was surprised and said, "Wow, it turns out that this young man is His Royal Highness Makminus, the legendary master of armor and magic cannons!"

"Don't dare to be, I'm still very tender, and I can't even use the family heirloom short stick technique. ”

After making sure that his tall guard was okay, Makminus also walked over to greet Salian.

Salian took off his feathered hat and made a big salute.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be too humble, you have a specialization in the arts, you are indeed a weapon genius, even in our remote Schwartenen!"

"This big brother, look at your outfit as a mercenary, what do you call it? And this beautiful knight lady, dare to ask Fang's name?"

Although he was the son of a noble archduke, he did not have the frame of a great nobleman at all, which made Salian feel very comfortable, and he replied to Markminus according to the pre-designed identity.

"Your Highness, you can call your 'Karakuri Mercenary' Meyer, haha, this is the nickname my friends gave me. This young lady is Anna von Celine Falst, the only daughter of my present employer, the ancient Count von Celine Falst. I am here to accompany my young lady and two of her friends here to buy armor from your workshop. On the way, you met those bandits besieging you. My young lady couldn't see it, so she made some modest efforts. ”

Anna gave a knightly salute to Macminus on the Nightmaremon, and Maxinus gracefully replied, amazed at both Anna and her Nightmare. However, he only glanced at it briefly, and then he continued to talk to Salian, indicating that he was interested in the mercenary who had rescued him.

"I can't say that, big brother, you're my savior! I probably wouldn't be standing here without you, please call me Max. Oh, you're so fashionable in this dress, but it's a pity my father won't let me wear it like this, I really envy you!"

Salian was also unceremoniously, pretending not to know the etiquette of the court, and said completely arrogantly: "Then I will call you Max brother in the next place! Haha, this reckless person also has a friend who was born into the royal family, and you can brag about it when you go back!"

Makminus also smiled and said, "Brother Meier, there was a magic puppet just now to help, did you also bring it?"

Salian scratched his head: "That thing was originally called a magic puppet, I thought it was some kind of helper you summoned with magic, Brother Max." I've never seen anything like this before, and if you don't know, then there might be someone else secretly protecting you, right?"

"Well, things are a little complicated, and now I don't even know the origin of these people who assassinated me!"

"When I fought the masked leader just now, I felt that he should be a four-cornered stick master of the Long-eared Clan, I don't know if this information is useful. Also, those pulley crossbows, little brother Max, you can ask the Palgia family of the Westport Republic, the people who will use this kind of weapon on the mainland are usually their subordinates, of course, ordinary people will not do it so obviously, it may just be a way to divert attention. ”

"Thank you, Brother Meier, the information you told me may be very important. Haha, you're so knowledgeable, you seem to know all kinds of weapons and martial arts!"

"Oh, these are not worth mentioning, they are a little embarrassed, I just see a lot in adventures or on the battlefield. ”

While Salian and Makminus were talking warmly, the lean guard was carefully examining the corpses left behind by the bandits, and soon he came back and said to Makminus: "Your Highness, you have not found any useful clues, not a single living mouth has been left, and there are no ornaments on your weapons, these people seem to be very well prepared!"

"It's a pity, let the leaders run away! Forget it, let's go back and talk about it. Hehe, I forgot to introduce, this is Master Krachner, my family's martial arts instructor, and the other one who is resting is Master Oswald. ”

Krachner, the sturdy middle-aged man, laughed heartily and patted Salian on the shoulder.

"Haha, the trick that this hero used to twist the arrow just now is really eye-opening, if I'm not mistaken, your trick is the secret technique of the horror knight, right?"

"It's ugly, your short spear technique is called supernatural, and the madness of another Oswald master is also amazing, and it is the first time I have seen this magical ability with my own eyes. These can only be regarded as small skills of carving insects, and Master Meng Feng Celine Falst can afford it, and seeing that he is slightly talented, he taught him some superficial horror secret techniques, which naturally cannot be compared with the master of the level of the Horror King and Knight, and it is far from being compared with my Miss Anna. ”

Because she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, Anna had been pretending to be elegant and introverted since just now, and when she heard these words, she even blushed and looked very shy, which was really embarrassing for her. Then she pretended to be embarrassed and rode the Nightmare Beast to the approaching carriage.

According to the prior arrangement, Salian introduced Anna's neighbors Miss Alice (Estfaria) and Miss Alea (Theresa) to Macminus, and Julia (Yulia) became his own sister and the maid of the Celine Filst family.

After seeing them, Makminus whispered to Salian: "Brother Meier, you are not shallow, there are so many beauties around, hehe." ”

"Whaha, don't you know, Your Highness...... Brother Max. Regardless of the younger sisters, these three girls are very individual, and the difficulty of pursuing them is very high, and none of them have gotten their hands on them until now!"

"Hehe, I have an ancestral love cheat here, I can lend it to you. ”

"That's really thanks to Brother Max, legend has it that your family is very good at this, it turns out that there is a reason!"

"Haha, that's nature. Also, Miss Anna didn't say she was going to make armor in the tavern just now, so we could go together. ”

"Thank you again. Oh, by the way, I sensed a large group of people approaching from the time of the fight, it must have been your men, right? Those bandits must have been scared away by these voices. ”

"Maybe yes, when I was just surrounded by those people, Master Oswald sent out a distress signal, fortunately with your help, otherwise I couldn't wait for them to arrive, and I would have been caught. ”

Sure enough, the road ahead was dusty, and a group of heavily armed cavalry rushed in, the leader of whom was dressed in gold-carved full-covered plate armor and a protruding helmet with the same pattern, shining brightly and eye-catching. The majestic horse under the crotch is dressed in an ornate horse coat with the hoof-shaped coat of arms of the Rokenhausen family.

The man looked at the corpses all over the ground, then dismounted and hurried to Makminus and saluted.

"Your Highness, I will set off from Aichenburg as soon as I see the signal, but it still looks a little late, are you okay?"

"It was indeed dangerous, but with the help of this chivalrous mercenary, Brother Meier and Miss von Celine Fisher, I was able to escape, and I was not injured. ”

"Brother Meyer, this is Count von Ryderhoff, the head of our family's Praetorian Guard. ”

The man turned his head and looked at Salian and the others, and finally at Salian, shooting two unfriendly glances from the grille of the protruding helmet.

"Thank you so much, knight. ”

Sarian nodded slightly, wondering why this man gave him a distinctly hostile feeling. Then Salian heard the man directing his men in a majestic voice.

"Someone, help Master Oswald onto his horse, lead His Majesty and Master Krachner's horses, find clues for the corpses on the ground and bury them on the spot!"

He turned around and owed to Makminus again.

"Your Highness, let's go back. ”

"Okay, but Brother Meier, they're going to come with us. ”

"What, by all means, Your Highness! I don't know their true identities yet, and you are obviously being targeted by someone now, and you can't trust anyone who is unknown. ”

"Why, I heard them in the Green Corolla Hotel just now, and the owner of the hotel also knows Miss Celine Falst, who is a well-known female warrior in the southwest!"
