Chapter 108: Temporary Promotion

Even the Sicialian thieves, known for their ferocity, could not have faced off with a professional army for a long time. Their morale only lasted for a moment, and after the magician who was hiding in them made a move, they found that they could not achieve the desired advantage, so they did not hesitate to disperse.

While escaping in front of the cavalry was the worst option, the knights of Isttalon needed to recuperate after the battle, and the outlaws could take advantage of the cover of night to keep a distance, a wild dog tactic that the thieves used to deal with the regular army.

El dragged Luthor's body out of the grass and threw it in front of Pross. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Luthor was indeed able to reach the level of the silver rank, and he could also take charge of the battle alone, and even stabbed several knights of the city defense army to death. It's a pity that this guy may have lived too long in pampering and has very little combat experience. When the thieves retreated, he actually grabbed a horse and tried to escape, and suddenly stood out among the thieves who were scurrying around.

Looking at the back of his head that glittered in the dark night and fluttered with long blond hair, El felt a little sorry for himself if he didn't shoot an arrow. With Luthor's strength, it may take a lot of effort to go head-to-head, but if you want to kill him, a dark arrow will solve the problem. Although in theory, bows and arrows cannot pose a threat to the powerhouses of the silver rank, but with the combination of El's own superb archery skills and the dragon's tooth bow, he can easily shoot the unsuspecting silver powerhouses.

El didn't think about killing Luthor, the arrow was aimed at his back, but he didn't expect the guy to panic and fall off his horse after being hit by the arrow, breaking his neck.

Pross's face was very ugly, not because of the death of this important witness, but because of the excessive physical exertion that made him look weak. Just now, the magicians in the group of thieves suddenly attacked, causing a lot of casualties. Pross forced a large fireball down, and the skin on both arms burned to charcoal. After that, he used the amulet given by Tiana to repel the mages of the thieves, but the skin on his arm was shattered by the backlash, and he was bleeding. Although he was out of danger after a simple bandage, he also lost most of his combat effectiveness.

"That's the Luthor you're talking about?" Pross asked in a deep voice, looking at the corpse.

Although he had a calm expression on his face, El could clearly feel the strength in his body fading. After a series of hard battles without healing from his injuries, this man's physical function has been reduced to a dangerous bottom line.

Seriously wounded and unchanging face seems to be a unique tradition of Isttalon warriors, perhaps believing that this behavior can show the will of a soldier?

"He's Luther, and you see what he's wearing, and only the southerners under the Chancellor would dress him up with bells and whistles. El said, pointing to the corpse.

"Search and see if there's any correspondence or anything like that. GLP said.

El crouched down, grabbed Luthor's collar and tore it hard, stripping the body naked. All kinds of bits and pieces hidden in the clothes suddenly fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Nail clippers, perfume, crystal balls, handkerchiefs...... Wait, what is this?Is it popular for southern aristocrats to collect women's panties?" El pushed the bits and pieces aside, and looked at Luthor with a more and more strange look. When I fought with this guy before, I thought he was like a pure man, but I didn't expect that he was actually a?

"My lord, there is nothing serious about him, only this crystal ball seems to be a magic item, which is suspicious. El looked up and said to GLP.

The inconspicuous crystal ball on Luthor's body was the most important piece of evidence, but unfortunately it could not be recognized without the presence of a magician. El could see that the crystal ball contained magical elements, but he didn't know what it was, so he thought it was suspicious.

"There is no map...... That is, it has been taken away. GLP just glanced at the crystal ball and didn't care, he was still concerned about where the map was going.

"The map must be in the hands of that magician, and the Sicialian thieves will not be easily defeated, they will soon be regrouped. Count Snecker is really calculating, and the murder of the nuns can all be blamed on the thieves, and they don't care about one more crime anyway...... No matter what chaos goes into the future, it will be the wanton behavior of the thieves, and the responsibility can be further shifted to the city defense army. He's clean himself......"

Thinking of this, Pros could no longer sit still, and he was about to get on his horse by ripping off the bandage that held his arm in place, when El hurried over to stop him.

"Your Majesty, your injuries are too serious to fight anymore!"

"It's not your turn to do anything, get out of the way!" Pross said coldly.

"With all due respect, with your current injuries, you may lose consciousness at any time, what should we do then?"

El pointed to the black knights beside him and said loudly: "I think everyone doesn't know the goal of the thieves, and they don't know what the map you want is, if you, as the commander, suddenly hang up, will we hundreds stay in the mountains and drink the northwest wind for a night?"

In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was, boss, stop playing, hurry back to find the beautiful nun sister for treatment, I have to rush back to study, how can I have time to accompany you to have a convulsion outside all night.

Although he said it vulgarly, Pross understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help but hesitate. El is right, the secret alliance between the White Lion Family and the Temple of Life cannot be revealed casually, only he can understand the real situation. But if you don't say it now, in case of an accident, other people really don't know how to deal with it.

But it is not a way to let the thieves go like this, and let them hide outside the city of Isttalon to make trouble, he weighed for a moment, and said to El: "You are right, so I will now temporarily appoint you as the captain, and Palanti as the vice-captain, and you will immediately set off with the men and horses to track down and exterminate the Sisiary thieves." ”

"Huh?" El's face suddenly fell, how could this come around to his head? You love and kill each other and have something to do with me! He hurriedly said: "My lord, I am only a civilian, not even a regular army." ”

"The military merits you accumulated in the last war are enough to improve, and you can't take care of so much in a hurry. GLO seemed to sense El's true thoughts, pointed to his head and sneered: "Kill that magician, you are a full-fledged officer, if you can exterminate the thieves, I will give you double the bounty." If you don't want to go, you can go back to the city and go to jail with Miss Tiana, but you only have a water prison. ”

"I'm not the kind of person who would succumb to coercion and temptation. El took a deep breath and said, "It is the duty of a soldier to exterminate thieves and defend their homeland. ”

"Very well, you are so shameless now...... It's quite the style of the mad dog Shet. Pross coughed, turned his head and pulled Palanti aside, whispering in a low voice.

Although in terms of combat, he is mainly good at tracking, but the secret behind this matter cannot be revealed to him, and can only be explained to his own cronies. El was not surprised by GLP's arrangement, and he was reluctant to get involved.

After a while, Palanti walked over, took off his helmet, hugged El to his chest, and gave El a solemn military salute.

Although he noticed that the girl was very short at first, when she revealed her true face, El was surprised to find that the other party was actually a child. Her round face also has baby fat on it, and her waist-length long hair is combed into a simple ponytail, which looks heroic and very cute.

"Sir, please give orders. ”

After taking off the helmet, Palanti's originally dull-sounding voice immediately became crisp and soft.
