"Uh-huh...... Her head was groggy and her neck ached as if she had fallen into a stiff neck, and Althea slowly opened her eyes, and a bloodstained back appeared in front of her, and she was lying on the back of the man in a very indecent position, and the person carrying her was running fast, jolting and jolting.

"No wonder I dreamed of riding a horse......," muttered Althee, and when she woke up, she began to recall the various fragments of her coma, and she remembered that she seemed to have had a very bad dream, that their plan to attack Mount Vaugur had failed, that they would be besieged by ogres on both sides, and that they would be annihilated.

She was woken up in a dream, what a nightmare, and the dream was so real, fortunately she was awakened, otherwise it would have left a psychological shadow, but why was she on this person's back? And they seemed to be in a hurry.

...... "Okay, it's already obvious in front of her, it's not a dream, if she continues to deny reality, then don't be an army commander, it's better to go back to her father's protection and be a good girl."

"Are we the only ones who escaped......" I could tell from the voice what kind of sad expression she had.

"Miss, are you awake!?" said the night watchman who carried her in surprise, and then choked up, "yes, only a few of us escaped......"

There were only a dozen or so people running with them, and Althea recognized them as her guards.

"Let me down......"

"But, we managed to get you out, you can't go back!" Pitas thought Althea wanted to go back and fight the ogre.

"I won't go back...... Althea said in a deep voice, "I will live well, only by living can I avenge them......"

Hearing this, Pitas finally relented.

"Alright, let me down, I can run on my own. ”

They stopped, and Pitas carefully put Althea down, and Althea was about to move her sore hands and feet, when a night watchman suddenly saw the grass beside her bend strangely.

"Be careful!" she shouted, as her hands emitted a holy light, and a black mist was dispelled, revealing a red-masked Defia assassin.

"Protect Miss!"

As soon as the assassin saw the defeat, he immediately rushed towards the priestess regardless of it, they were too close, and when others found the assassin, the first thing they did was to protect Althea, no one could help this priest girl, seeing that the priest girl was about to die, at this time, a strange black shadow suddenly flashed next to him, a dagger poked out of the black shadow, and easily stabbed the assassin in the back of the heart, the assassin's movements stopped instantly, he fell to the ground, but he would not die immediately, he would struggle for a long time in the process of death。

"It's hard work to find you, I just saw a corpse dressed in a commander's clothes, and if I hadn't seen this young lady I would have thought she was dead. The black shadow revealed its true face, it was Zhang Li.

The gem dagger, similar to the Shadow Walk...... There is no doubt that there is only one person who meets these characteristics in the Twilight Forest, and it is the legendary "original Defia bandit" who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and these night watchmen immediately remembered Zhang Li.

"Thank you......" The pastor's sister had palpitations in her heart, and expressed her gratitude to Zhang Li cutely, and Zhang Li replied with a warm smile.

"Well, now is not the time to talk about this, there are still a lot of Difia ambushes around, we have to hurry back to safety. ”

Next, when they were running, several priests took turns to illuminate the surrounding space with holy light, and really forced out a lot of stalkers, and Zhang Li, he was very aware of the current affairs and ran at the end of the line, on the one hand, to avoid the light, after all, what he was most afraid of after the shadow was light, on the other hand, those night watchmen still didn't believe in him very much, and he stayed away to reassure them.

Defia apparently had some means of communication of their own, and after the first Assassin discovered them, more and more enemies began to appear in front of them.

At that moment, a fireball flew over.

"Watch out for the mage!" a shield-wielder pressed in front of Althea, the fireball exploding directly on his shield, leaving a patch of red on the steel shield.

"You go first! Cowen and I will hold them back!" These guards are not weak professionals, and they are basically priests.

"No, kill them, and we'll go together!" Althea vetoed his offer, but his loyal men did not listen to her orders this time.

"There's not that much time, Miss! The longer it drags on, the more dangerous you become!"

"But!" Althea was about to say something, but the guard named Pitas forced her to run away, leaving only the two men to charge the enemy head-on.

Mage Nadiphia was surrounded by more than a dozen guardians, and they definitely didn't come back and forth, but they didn't hesitate.

"......" Zhang Li watched all this silently, he had seen this scene several times when he turned into an owl, the first time, in order to avoid the pursuit of the ogre, several guards sacrificed themselves, the second time the same was true, those ogres killed the blocker, and chased after it again, and then the second group of willing to sacrifice the guards went into battle, until the ogre was delayed and lost his goal.

There were still a handful of people who escaped from the Ogre Front, and they did not have such a spirit of sacrifice, and it was from this that Zhang Li judged that Althea was in this team.

He seemed to have understood how Althea had escaped from here in the original history, relying on these guards desperately to delay time.

'Ah...... It's nice to have such foolish subordinates. Zhang Li thought to himself.

Then he said, "Leave these people to me, and I will make sure they live to follow you." ”

"You?" Althea was seriously hostile to Zhang Li, but he didn't say a word to him and his team because he saved the lives of his own guards.

"That's right, for pretentious mages, there's nothing like a deadly assassin to attract attention. Then he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes without saying a word.

Before the two who had volunteered to die approached the mage's ranks, he had already appeared beside one of the guardians, and this time his sneak attack was unsuccessful, there were too many enemies, and they watched him disappear, and the moment he appeared and attacked, a sword immediately slashed past him, forcing him to disappear again.

"It's a real trouble when there are many enemies......"

Soon after, the two shield-wielding paladins pounced on the crowd, and the attention of the people was partially diverted, but there were still people who were wary of Zhang Li, not giving him a chance to appear next to the mage.

The mage who was being guarded began to exert his might, and the power of his spells was completely inferior to those archmages that Zhang Li had seen on the sea and mountains, but for ordinary people, a single shot was absolutely deadly.

Seeing that a fireball was about to be launched, a moonfire fell from the sky.

Moonfire is the only long-range natural spell that Zhang Li can use, and the soul leopard will only give him such a natural spell except for the transformation spell, and it seems that it will also be this long-range spell.

The mage's spell casting was interrupted, and the fireball that had formed exploded directly into his arms, blowing him apart.

The two paladins who witnessed all this were overjoyed, they glanced at each other, immediately sped up their killing speed, and finally succeeded in returning to Althea and the others with the help of Zhang Li.
