"In the blink of an eye, most of the guards' comrades died. Barto sat weakly on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and said in a dull voice: "It's like a nightmare, and when we react, we gathered under the organization of the seriously injured captain and began to break out." However, the thieves did not intend to spare us, and kept behind us, and from time to time raided the tail of our ranks, causing great casualties to the remainder, and by the end of the day, we had less than ten men left. ”

"The Shadow Hand is moving a lot this time. Leaning on a carriage, Pannis asked in a low voice, "I would like to know how many captain-level leaders the Shadow Hand has dispatched in this operation, and how large it can be?"

"Captain?" Barto was clearly unaware of the difference in status within the Shadow Hand: "How can you tell the difference?"

"Let's just say they dispatched a few Legendary-tier thieves. Pannis said, "Their legendary ranks are basically captains. ”

"Master Sierra has finally told us that there are two Legendary Assassins on our enemies. Barto replied, "I have recalled it in the past few days, and it is indeed two, one who seriously injured Lord Serra and the captain, and the other who assassinated the human legendary-level mage. ”

"What about gender?" Catherine asked, "male or female?"

"Two men. Barto replied, "I can see those two men very clearly, they are definitely men." ”

"The words of the two men......," Catherine said after a moment's thought, "it seems that grace and suspicion have led the way." ”

"Not necessarily. Pannis shook his head and said: "I heard that a new captain has appeared in the Shadow Hand, but he has not yet grabbed the sphere of influence from the seniors, this time maybe the new captain and his direct subordinates cooperate with Grace, in order to expand his own power." ”

"Forget it, don't talk about these irrelevant things. Catherine shook her head and said, "Mr. Barto, please continue." ”

"In front of a ravine, the captain asked me to take six brothers with me to protect Lord Sierra as fast as he could to escape back to Courland, while he himself and the rest of his brothers stopped the enemy behind. Barto continued: "I finally looked back when I left the canyon, and the captain desperately wounded one of the Legendary Tier assassins, and that person left the battlefield with a small number of people, and the captain himself used a hedron bomb to collapse the valley before he died, blocking the path of the enemy's pursuit, and I don't know what happened to them after that, the captain should have died in the explosion." ”

"We protected Lord Serra and fled through the inner edge of the Glitter Forest, only to be attacked by the enemy just two days ago, not long after entering the orc grassland. There is only one enemy, it is another Legendary-level assassin who appeared before, and the others should have been thrown off by us and didn't have time to catch up, but this one enemy is also very strong and faces us head-on. During the battle, the remaining four brothers were killed, and Lord Serra was wounded again, not only worsening but also poisoning. However, the enemy was also injured by the adult's counterattack, so he could only retreat temporarily. ”

"At this time, Lord Serra, she can no longer support it, the serious injury and the poison make her may die at any time, in desperation, the Lord can only entrust everything to me, and use the petrification technique to seal herself up and wait for treatment. I hid Lord Serra, and fled with Bren and Ron for two days in a row, and yesterday evening the horses pulling the cart were too much to support, so I had to find a tribe to rest with. You all know what happened after that, and we just arrived when we met a pack of deadtailed dogs. ”

"You were still driving the carriage when you fled?" Catherine asked, confused, "What kind of escape is this?" Oh, you're planning to use the cargo to confuse the enemy's eyes so that Grace doesn't know where Councillor Sierra is hiding, right? This is a good idea, the ultimate target of their assassination should be Councillor Serra, you are the only three people who know the whereabouts of Councillor Serra, even if the enemy catches up with you, in order to find the whereabouts of Councillor Serra, they will not dare to kill you easily, this will make you much safer. However, no offense, this way of dealing with it doesn't seem like you can come up with it. ”

"You're right. Barto was silent for a moment, then nodded, "This is the method that Lord Sierra determined before he was petrified, and I did exactly what my lord told me to do." And not only three people know the whereabouts of Master Serra, but I am the only one who knows, neither Bren nor Ron. I'm glad they didn't know, but I think they had already killed Ron and disguised himself as him shortly after the enemy retreated for the second time and Lord Sierra hid, and if I had told them the whereabouts of Lord Sierra, I'm afraid they would all be dead by now. At the behest of my lords, I lied to them that my injuries were not so serious, so I fled back to Chongshan Castle by the other way, hoping that we would be dragged behind as bait to confuse the enemy. It seems that the enemy was not deceived by my words, but he did not succeed in finding the petrified body of Lord Serra. ”

"It's generally effective. Catherine nodded: "I guess Grace is not sure about it, and he has been waiting for news from other parties to his subordinates, so he has not really killed you, and you have escaped once." ”

"I guess I wouldn't have thought of it. Pannis stared straight at the carriage and said, "No one could have imagined that after you hid Councillor Serra, you did not hide in the pile of goods in your tent to ensure that you could always guard it, but hid in this carriage that was casually left outside in the wind and sun and no one paid attention to it. ”

"I'm weird, though. Catherine asked suspiciously, "It's all right for you to explain this to us, but there's no need to bring us here to tell us where Councillor Sierra is, even if we are not enemies, if we accidentally reveal it, it may cause big trouble, aren't you worried at all?"

"I have a request. Barto lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "I hope that this priest can help Lord Sierra to heal, with the divine skill of the priest of Mother Earth God, the adult can be cured in time." ”

"Bang. As soon as Lina stretched out her hand, grabbed the gap in the armor around Bato's neck, pulled him in front of her, almost face to face, and said viciously in a voice like a rough man: "You see, I am a sinner of the goddess, and you dare to ask me for help to treat your councilor, are you brainbroken?"

Barto was startled, but without an excuse, he broke away from Lina's hand holding his armor, knelt on one knee with a serious face, bowed his head and said, "Just now at the door of your tent, Miss Pastor, when you attacked, I saw the earth magic blessed on your body. The sinners of the earth cannot use magic, so you must not be the sinners of the earth, I apologize for my previous impulsiveness and recklessness, and hope that you can uphold the teachings of the God of Love and lend a helping hand to those in need. If you can't forgive me for my offense, I'm willing to accept any punishment, and I just ask you to heal Lord Sierra in time. ”

"Hush. Lina turned her head away from looking at him, smacked her tongue with dissatisfaction, and said viciously: "While my heart is soft, hurry up and move your councillor out, don't wait for me to change my mind, go quickly." ”

Regardless of Barto, who was running towards the carriage with a happy face, Lina's eyes turned to Pannis, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you always stare at me, it's not that you haven't seen it." ”

"I'm just weird. Pannis smiled lazily and said, "What kind of person is your friend named Katarina, whose personality and behavior are sometimes rough, but sometimes elegant and gentle, what kind of environment can produce such a person?"

She ...... Grew up in an environment similar to the City of Innocence. Lina said in a low voice: "At first, I have been blending in the bottom of the crowd, slowly climbing up, and finally climbing to the position of the city lord, becoming one of the great nobles in the kingdom. ”

"No wonder. Pannis suddenly realized: "Only this kind of life can cultivate this kind of eccentric personality." ”

Lina was silent for a while, and then said strangely: "Caterina said, let you study her less." She says she's figuring out a secret you're hiding, and if you don't want to reveal it now, listen to her. ”

"Uh......" Pannis wiped the cold sweat from his head in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile: "Haha, haha, just when I didn't say hello, no, just when I don't exist, well, that's all." ”

Bartow ran to the carriage as fast as he could, and instead of climbing into the carriage, he went straight underneath the carriage. I don't know what he did under the car, but a minute later, there was a thud from under the car, and a large box fell off from under the car, and was held up by Bartow underneath it, and carefully placed on the ground.

"These two carriages are actually different, one is an ordinary carriage, and this is the latest carriage that we dwarves and goblins have built together, specifically for transporting valuables. Bartow climbed out from under the car and explained: "It looks exactly like an ordinary carriage, but it is actually very expensive, the body of the car is ordinary wood on the surface, but the inside of the wooden core has been replaced with metal plates, and there is also a carriage that can be loaded and unloaded, fire and theft proof, and there is a secret compartment under it for storing valuable goods." Since it was a trial production, the maker asked Serra-sama to use it for testing on this long-distance trip, but I didn't expect it to be used. ”

"Is it just right?" said Pannis and Catherine looked at each other and smiled, neither of them could tell, it seemed that the Senator Sierra had fully anticipated the danger of this trip.

The box that fell was heavy, and Barto struggled to push it out from under the car, the box was large enough for an adult human to lie flat in it, let alone a dwarf. Barto carefully opened the box and whispered, "This is Serra-sama." (To be continued.) )
