Peter asked me, "Commander, where are we going now?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "Let's go find someone first, someone who got me into the bureau and disappeared without a trace." If this guy is trying to find a way to catch me, forget it, if this guy runs away on his own, even if it is heaven and earth, you have to dry him for me!"

Peter nodded, though I knew he didn't understand what I was saying.

I said, "Let's go to a hotel and ask about it." ”

Peter hesitated a little and said, "Not very well, didn't you say that the wind has been very tight there recently, boss, didn't you stumble there?"

I said, "This time, let's go to find someone, and we don't do anything, so why do we have a weak heart? To be my subordinate, you have to be bold, ruthless, and black-handed!"

Peter nodded in realization.

I turned the corner and found that the road leading to a hotel was actually sealed, and across the street of Rhodok soldiers, I saw a hotel covered with seals, and there were people standing guard outside.

I grabbed an uncle casually and asked, "Uncle, do you know why this hotel is closed?"

The uncle was indignant and said: "Forcing good people to be prostitutes, harming one party, and the most important thing is that the fee is so expensive, and you can't return it if you are not satisfied, you have no professional ethics at all, and it should have been sealed a long time ago!"

I wiped my sweat and asked, "When did it be sealed, do you know some details or something?"

The uncle thought about it, then thought about it again, and finally thought about it again.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took out twenty dinars from my pocket and gave them to my uncle, saying, "Uncle, tell me quickly." ”

The uncle smiled happily and said, "When was it sealed, I remember that it seemed to be sealed by the way when I caught Lord Kesto a few days ago, how long has it been, one day, two days?"

I shook my head impatiently, and was about to leave, when I suddenly realized something, and grabbed the uncle: "What did you say? Lord Kesto?

The uncle looked at me like an alien: "You just came to Viruga, right, you don't know such a big thing?"

I said, "What the hell is going on?"

The uncle looked up and said, "Let me think about it...... Let me think...... Let me think about it again......"

I dragged my uncle into the alley next door and pulled out the scimitar at my waist.

The uncle immediately shouted: "I remember, I remember, that is, two days ago, suddenly a legion came from Djerkhala, stationed outside the city of Veruga, saying that it was a business trip, and the next day during the day, I heard that Lord Kesto was arrested, the lord's mansion was also burned, hundreds of people died, and the whole family of Kesto was detained, we don't know why, but we heard that Lord Kesto was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, organizing a cult, and wanted to lock up and take back Djerkhara to hand over the crime of the Council of Nobles, which has been spread all over the streets and alleys in the past few days. Now Viruga is succeeded by Duke Mario, who was previously a hardcore anti-Caystor. ”

As soon as I let go, my uncle ran away like a ghost.

Peter was stunned and said, "Boss, what's going on?"

I said, "It's useless to talk about this now, I just know that there is a big trouble, and Jamila doesn't know if she is in the lord's palace when it happens, and if she is, she will be in trouble if she is detained by the way." ”

Peter said, "Didn't the uncle just say that he would escort him back to Djalkhala, so let's go and watch halfway to see if there is any." ”

I said, "That's the only way, if you can't do it, you can hijack the prisoner's car, and TMD is exciting to think about." Speaking of Peter, do you know how to ride a horse?"

Peter scratched his head: "No." ”

I said, "Okay, then let's go separately, I'll go to the ambush halfway first, and you'll find a way to chase me and join me." If Jamila is really among them, I may really want to hijack the prisoner's car, and then your task will be to answer and cover me. ”

Peter said, "Commander, you don't need to go separately, you can ride a horse, and I can run." ”

My eyes were about to fly out, and I said, "You're running?"

Peter said, "That's right. ”

So saying, he walked in the direction of Djerkala, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Still holding on to a glimmer of hope, I explained our plans and routes in a conspicuous position near the gates with the agreed cipher, hoping that whoever would see the roar or the dryer would come and wish us a hand, and then pat our horses in the direction of Djerkhala.

Along the way, I missed the time when Mama Cha was in the team, because less than a day and a half after I ran out, I found that I was lost, and I didn't even know if I was running in the direction of Djerkhala, but just ran with a deep rut. By noon the next day, the rut mark had reached a dense forest and vanished.

I was completely lost.

With a hint of illusion, I continued to run in the imaginary direction for more than an hour, until the forest disappeared and a large bare mountain field appeared in front of me. I know, it's over, I'm in the wrong place.

Rhodok is surrounded by mountains, but the road from Viruga to Djerkhara is sandwiched between two mountain valleys, and the current situation does not exist.

I'm at a loss.

A woman's scolding voice suddenly came from behind: "Whoever is in front, leave your money." ”

I was angry, I didn't look back, and said coldly: "Don't mess with me, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood now!"

The woman smiled arrogantly: "Yo, such a big fire, this girl wants to see how many pounds and taels you have......"

My heart suddenly moved, this voice was a little familiar. I turned my head, and sure enough.

The woman in front of me, who was holding a crossbow and flaunting her might, saw me turn her head, as if she suddenly saw her creditor, and she couldn't say anything more than she said a word.

I said, "It's you, Melva, you're still robbing the Dao! Have you forgotten the suffering of the people in the world, the coming catastrophe on the continent of Calradia?"

Melva shook her head, her mouth still wide open, and suddenly turned around and ran away, shouting: "It's none of my business, I'm just passing by, I'm not robbing, you're mistaken......"

I dragged her back: "It's been more than a month since I last saw you, how much money have you robbed this month, give me an obedient spit out, you guy who doesn't care about the lives of the people in the world!"

Melva said with a look of grievance: "Who said that, I have been thinking about this issue very seriously since last time, and then I didn't find any signs of catastrophe as you said, so I went back to my old business, who knew that the first one would meet you...... By the way, did you lie to me that time?"

Melva seemed to have figured out something suddenly, and struggled out of my grasp, looking at me suspiciously.

I was a little weak-hearted and said, "There is no sign of the Great Tribulation, haven't you seen the gray cloaks of groups of girls abducting and selling girls, the Dark Pilgrim Mission, tell you that they are the forerunners of the Great Tribulation, that was more than a month ago, and now it is estimated that the territory of Nord alone is full of dark hunters with crossbows on horseback and crossbows!"

Melva thought about it again, beckoned to the back, and out of the woods came a girl in a black bodysuit, with a good figure and a good face. Melva whispered a few words to the girl, nodded and said: "It seems that what you said is true, this is Jasmine, I rescued it from a group of people wearing gray cloaks a few days ago, and there are dozens of girls along with it...... Wait, could it be that the Great Tribulation you're talking about is the Dark Order?"

Melva bounced up as if electrocuted: "I didn't think about it that much at first, I thought it was some crappy slave traders, but as soon as you said that, I remembered, indeed, it is the Dark Order, this is their plundering of the so-called Holy Maiden, and the next step is the hunters all over the mountains, and even the Dark Legion!

Melva calmed down a little and said to me, "What you said is so right, it's ridiculous that I had a little doubt just now, and now that I think about it, you should be the successor of the prophecy of the Holy King Leon." ”

I said, "Do you know about the Holy King Leon and the Dark Order?"

Melva said, "I don't just know that my uncle was under the command of the Holy King and finally died in the defense of Chanda, and our family will have to uphold the belief of the Holy King to save Calradia for generations, and we must not forget it. Melva looked at me deeply, "Since you are the inheritor of the prophecy prophesied by the Holy King Leon himself, then I should also be loyal to you and help you fight against the Dark Order." ”

With that, Melva got down on one knee and memorized a long list of allegiances, so many that I don't know how they memorized them.

After reciting, Melva still knelt in front of me with her head bowed, motionless.

I said, "All right, I hear you, get up." ”

Melva still didn't move. I don't know what's going on, it's a bit awkward.

Melva's mouth moved, and he whispered, "Where's your sword?"

I said, "What do you want a sword for, do you want to fight it alone? I'm not afraid of you...... Oh...... I remembered, I'm sorry, I've never participated in a similar event, I've never eaten pork, and I almost forgot how pigs run. With that, I drew my scimitar and rested it on Melva's shoulder, completing the knightly allegiance salute.

Melva's face was a little ugly, after all, knightly allegiance salutes concluded with scimitars were indeed very rare. But I'm pretty sure, Melva isn't a proper knight, so I don't need to use a proper sword.

Melva asked, "My lord, what are your plans now?"

I remembered what I was going to do, and asked Melva: "Where is this, how far is it from Djerkhala, and how many men do you have?"

"This is at the northwestern end of the Kulen Mountains, near the village of Sailen, half a day's journey from Djerkhala, and I have about 200 sisters on my hands...... Are we going to take Djerkhala?"

I wiped my sweat: "No, we are going to hijack a prisoner cart in the middle of the road, and I suspect that my people are being held inside." It's just that after such a long delay, I don't know if they arrived in Djerkhala. ”

Melva said: "It's okay, we have ambushed and monitored on the way to Djerkhala, such a large target of a prisoner cart team, if it passes, there will definitely be news, you don't have to worry, let's go to the road and prepare first." ”

I said, "Okay, but you've set up an ambush on the road, and you dare to say that you've been robbing roads for a long time?" ”

No sooner had I come to the side of the road leading to Djerkhala and laid an ambush than I saw the clouds in front of me suddenly rise as if someone had punched me, and a dome was raised heavily. I was immediately overjoyed.

Then I heard a clear voice, as if it was ringing in my ears. The voice whispered: "Dryer, you will attract their attention in front later, and I will attack with a bow and arrow in the back, they will never think of such a way of fighting." ”

"Well......" I said to the oncoming wave of air, "I've been defeated by you two idiots." ”

Then I galloped towards the place where the cloud was raised, followed by Melva and her two hundred sisters.

Running out for about 30 miles, turning a small forest, I saw a bunch of people on the avenue in front of me, nearly 100 prisoner carts piled up in a chaotic mess on the avenue, the ground was full of arrows, a figure was in the middle of the avenue, surrounded by a group of people fighting, this person roared again and again, but could not rush out of the crowd, it was the dryer. The other fell to the ground in a decadent manner, pointed at two or three spears, and it was the roar.

I noticed that there was an arrow stuck in the left butt of the dryer.

I said, "It's too much, the person who dares to shoot me is still in such a lewd place as ass shooting, the quality of this shooter is really low!"

Without saying a word, Melva commanded more than thirty of his men on horseback to rush forward, and the remaining hundred or so girls were still climbing the mountain more than ten miles behind him.

Then I swung my scimitar and pounced.

Suddenly, a cold, silvery-white figure appeared before me like lightning, and not only bounced Melva out with his horse, but also shook the girls off one by one, but at last only took the reins of my horse a little, and brought me to a halt.

I looked closely, and the white figure in front of me was Elia.

I yelled, "Just in time, Jamila, is it in the prisoner van ahead?"

Illya nodded, her face a little gloomy.

I said, "Then don't pestle, hurry up and save people!"

Illya shook her head: "Jamila is suspected of being involved in Kesto's treason, I can't save her, she needs to be reviewed by the noble senate." ”

I was stunned, and then I felt a huge anger welling up in my heart, and I shouted: "You idiot, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey, Jamila is our companion, what noble council does not council, I order you to go and rob her immediately!"

Illya shook her head: "I will not do anything that violates the laws of Rhodoc and the will of King Griffos, not only will I not rob Jamila, but I will do everything I can to prevent you from doing so." ”

I got angry and yelled, "You madman, why are you so stupid, are you and us all the way?" Okay, even if you want to take care of your bullshit Rhodok law and your idiot uncle's will, I don't expect you to help, but you have to get out of the way for me!"

Illya shook her head, she actually drew the saber at her waist: "Any violation of Rhodok's laws in front of me will not be tolerated, for whatever reason, and no matter who it is...... Even you, who have lived and died together, can't. ”

I was stunned, and I said, "Illya, are you crazy? You're drawing your sword from me, you're drawing your sword from me!"

Illya nodded: "To save Jamila, you have to defeat me, as long as you defeat me, I can't stop your actions, even if you trample on the majesty of Rhodok's law in front of me, I can't do anything about you." ”

I took a deep breath and calmed my boiling mood. I said to Melva, "I'll deal with this man, go help the dryer, save him, Roar and Jamila and get out of here and see you where we first met!"

Melva glanced at me, then at Illya, gritted her teeth, said nothing, and walked past her. As soon as Elia's body moved, she was about to intercept it, but several black rays of light burst out from Melva's body. With a movement of the long sword in Eliya's hand, the black light swept to the ground and some short crossbow arrows seven inches long. But by this time Melva had already passed her and pounced on the dryer that was fighting.

I said, "Elija, your opponent is me!"

Illya shook her head, "I really don't want to have this day. ”

I said, "I don't want to, or you just turn a blind eye and let us go." ”

Illya shook her head again and said solemnly: "It is my duty to uphold the majesty of Rhodok's laws, and it is an existence that is above our friendship. So, though you don't want to, you'll have to ask me about the sword in my hand. ”

As she spoke, she flicked the saber in her palm: "Do you want to know the origin of my two swords?"

I ignored her, but she said to herself, "The original name of the gauntlet sword in my hand was Gramdrine, which means sword to cut off the enemy. It is said that in ancient times, during the Great War of the Demon Realm, the sword of the white-robed mage Gandalf at that time once killed the demon Barurog with one sword. When an enemy approaches, it will emit a white light and has incredible power, but my current skills are not enough, so the white light is very weak, but it is enough to kill you. ”

She gently stroked the big sword on her back again: "This sword and Gramdrin are a pair, both the sword of brothers and the sword of husband and wife, this sword used to be called Oluchrist. Compared to Gramdrine, this sword is not grandiose, but it is more powerful than the former. There is also a strange sense between the two swords, and when Oluchrist is around, Gramdrin will be extremely peaceful, like a wife with her husband by her side, don't you think it's amazing?"

I said, "I don't have time to listen to your story, so let's do it if I want to." ”

Illya smiled bitterly: "What I just talked about is the past of these two swords, and now these two swords have another ordinary name, this Gramdrine, now called Mother's Handguard Sword, and this Oluchrist is now called Father's Greatsword." It was two hundred years ago, the swords of Queen Styles and Regent Roger of the Calradia Empire, when their sister Stiles, younger brothers Roger and Logan, suffered a great change, and the three siblings were murdered by mysterious people, and they relied on these two swords to build a large and unified Calradian Empire. ”

I said, "What's the use, in the end it won't split into five countries now, maybe it will split into fourteen countries a second time in the future." ”

Illya smiled: "Do you know who is the mysterious person who destroyed their family at that time, and has been plotting to kill them since then, but finally failed?"

I said, "I don't know the story you made up." ”

"At that time they called themselves the Dark Church, the Church of Braka. That's the Dark Order you're fighting now!"

I was shocked: "The Dark Order existed two hundred years ago?"

Illya said: "At that time, the Calradia continent was also in chaos, and the Dark Order was huge, covering the entire Calradia continent. Purryd, the predecessor of the Kingdom of Rhodok, defected to the Dark Order at that time, and even Logan, the biological brother of the regent and queen, also secretly defected to the Dark Order. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the regent and the queen trusted the chief of the palace guard very much, Mr. Vincent, whom they regarded as their uncle, is actually the prime minister of the Dark Order, and their parents were murdered by Vincent!"

I said, "What do you mean by that?"

Illya said, "I don't mean anything else, just to remind you, learn from history, and don't trust everyone so much." ”

I said, "You mean to say that you Rhodok are going to fall to the Dark Order again, and you're going to learn from that Mr. Vincent?"

Illya smiled bitterly: "I don't have to tell you so clearly now, you will know for yourself later." ”

I said, "Okay, then, you're done with your story?"

Illya said, "Yes." ”

I said, "Let's do it." ”

Illya said, "Okay. As soon as the word "good" came out, she immediately changed back to the cold, murderous, and beautiful chief of the palace guard that I had seen her for the first time.

I slowly raised the scimitar at my waist, and the fight began.

As soon as I made a move, it was the knife technique on the grassland that I had learned for many years in Kugit and the horse thief, and the horse speed suddenly increased to the maximum, and the knife took advantage of the horse's momentum and slashed at Illya's neck with a fluttering knife. Once this knife is slashed, a beautiful head will inevitably fly into the air.

With a light swing, Illya flickered strangely to the left side of my horse, and the knife slashed into the air.

I rolled over on my horse, and the sword shot down from the sky and slashed vertically at Illya on the left.

Illya raised her hand, and the knife slashed at the Mithril shield.

I pulled back my horse's head toward Illya. At this moment, her expression was still cold.

I said, "I don't need you to let me!"

Illya said, "Then you will fall in an instant." ”
