The Blessing of Life that deceived the Grim Reaper lost its effect after just an hour, and Umang, the Lord of the Underworld, one of the seven main gods, took the soul of the mercenary Gwadar.

The tenants of A51 stood in the quiet of the grassland, watching as Toba silently picked up the dirt with his fingers, dug out the hole, and gently picked up the mercenary's corpse and placed it in the tomb. Jonah could clearly see the tears in the eyes of the roommate, but all he could do was help him pick up the dirt and hide the serene face of the strongest warrior of Cherry Crossing.

A simple grave appears in the miracle steppe where wildflowers bloom. Toba thought about it, picked up the steel spear that had taken his life, broke it into a crescent moon with both hands, and stuck it in the tomb, as a believer in the main god Shira, this is the best tombstone.

"Roommate. Elliot approached the grieving Bazeral mountain people with a solemn expression: "There is no time left. Now, you have to make a decision. Two options, one choice, judging from the information sent by Lord Gwadar desperately, the situation has been clear, and the Zawi Empire sent the Storm Knight Isaacchios, which changed the weight on both sides of the scale. ”

Toba turned his back to everyone and wiped his face with his arm: "I'm sorry, my head is a little messy." Eli, what do you say?"

The Rose Knight stretched out his hand to the west, "It won't be long, maybe an hour, maybe now, - the two queens will cross the canyon into the Wonder Meadow, and the pursuers of the Golden Hammer will appear, whatever we choose, we must be ready now." If the head of the chamber has no objection, we will now move to the entrance of the canyon and prepare for an ambush. ”

Toba nodded.

Along the way, none of the Pitchfork crew members talked.

On the west side of the Miracle Meadow, a semicircular wall of rolling gray mountains encloses it, and a narrow canyon road appears in the center of the wall. There's no better place to ambush than here.

Elliot glanced at it and immediately spoke, "Your Excellency the Astrologer." ”

"Yes, Eli. Jonah replied.

"The rock formations on the north side of the canyon entrance are loose, and if a small explosion were to be triggered at the fissure, a large amount of debris would temporarily block the entire pathway. When you hear the command, you start it. Can it be done?" indicated the Rose Knight with his gaze.

Jonah had a special feeling that this was essentially the first time he had personally participated in a Pitchfork Squad battle as a member of the team. He touched the half-finished star array in the deerskin bag and nodded without hesitation: "No problem." ”

"Miss Sibi, Miss Longji. You stand by the tree at nine o'clock. Elliot turned to the two ladies, "Immediately fire with all your might when you hear the command, remember, with all your might." ”

"Roger!" Sibby cried out loudly.

"Understood. Out of nowhere, Ryu Ji took out a black forged belt and tied up her long black hair with her backhand, and the silver bells in the hairline collided with each other with a crisp sound.

"Room-grown, your position is right in the middle of the road, both as a decoy and as a shield. Please stay safe. Elliott instructed.

Toba agreed, his eyes scattered, and he didn't know if he heard clearly.

"Your Excellency Jekong...... Stand by for now. The Rose Knight looked at Jeon one last time.

There was no reaction from the sword-wielding Garan.

Elliott's unicorn moves a few steps from side to side, kicking up the green blades of grass. "The tactics are simple. When the enemy arrived, whether it was the Queen's march or Zawi's pursuers, they spared the first fifty men, crushed the rock walls, blocked the roads, routed the first enemy with all their might, and then rested for a while, and when the enemy behind them came, they fought and retreated, delaying as long as possible. ...... IMHO, in the face of an enemy with a huge disparity in strength, tactics are meaningless, what we have to do is to live as long as possible. It's not a fight, it's a war. ...... Lord, that's it for today's briefing, and we don't have much more to say. ”

Toba looked at the distant mountains in a daze.

"Roommate?" Elliott whispered as he approached him.

"Huh?" Toba turned his head and saw everyone looking at him, and couldn't help but touch the back of his head: "That, Elie is right, so let's do it." I couldn't agree more. ”

"You have to make a decision, Lord, Queen or Zavi?" asked the Rose Knight again.

Toba was stunned, "I ......"

It was only then that Jonah thought about the question that the two upcoming Queens, Abidel I of Bazelar and Wenger IV of St. Bourne, were inextricably linked to many of them.

The Sutherland royal family of Bazelar was the object of Toba's hatred for taking away the mother and wife of the men of the mushroom farm, Sibi himself was a descendant of Sutherland, whether he wanted it or not, Jonah himself was a child of St. Bouren, and the Rose Knights, whose fiefdom was the Red Clay before their exile in ancient history, were the ancient royal family of St. Boren.

Whatever choice Toba makes, someone is forced to bear the pain, and it's a game where no one wins.

“...... I don't know...... Wait a minute, I'll think again, think again. Tuba clutched his forehead in pain.

Elliot reluctantly said, "Okay, Master Chamber. Whatever the choice, we will obey. ”

Sibi walked over, lightly jumped on Toba's shoulder and sat down, and patted Toba's head: "Okay, okay, uncle, I will have a headache if I change it, eradicating my previous experience, when I encounter such a problem, the more I think about it, the more I don't understand, just don't think about anything, when the matter comes, you will naturally have the answer in your heart." ”

"Really?" the head of the room looked at her helplessly.

"Really! Lie to you as a puppy!" Ann ......," Sibi said affectionately, hugging Toba's thick neck.

Toba turned his head and looked at Jonah with a sad face: "Well, Master Astrologer, I don't dare to drag you to this dangerous place if you are given 10,000 guts, but you see...... What do you want me to say?"

The astrologer apprentice couldn't stand the shy expression of the seven-foot man, so he hurriedly waved his hand and stepped aside. By the time he found out, Jonah had unconsciously walked over to Ryuki.

The Oriental woman stood quietly under the tree, her hair tied into a ponytail, revealing a slender and white neck. She held the handle of the dagger in one hand and flicked the leaves with the other, looking calm.

"I ......"

"My past, do you want to know? That's not a wonderful story. It's a wound. A curse. A decomposing corpse. Trust me, you're not interested in learning about it. ”

As soon as Jonah spoke, Ryuki interrupted him, saying the question that Jonah had buried in his heart for a long time as if he could read his heart.

"Uh, I'm not ......" Jonah stammered, waving his hand.

At this moment, a soft pale green light lit up next to it, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and the unicorn of the Rose Knight had obviously just finished casting a spell, and the tips of its horns flashed with colorful neon. Elliott raised his arm and raised four fingers.

"The enemy has been detected, and it will be there in about twenty minutes. Ryuhime glanced at it and explained, "This is the 'Great Earth Marker' of early warning magic, which predicts the movement of enemies through information sensing between plants, and is a type of plant-based magic. Eli is able to unleash three types of magic: healing, plant, and amplification, all at the cost of life, of course. ”

"Before today, I didn't know what Eli was capable of...... Jonah lamented.

"Yes, everybody has things they don't want others to know. Long Ji looked at the leaves in her hand and said leisurely.

Jonah hesitated, wondering if he should turn and walk away.

At this time, Long Ji spoke again: "There is a name that should be known to you. His name is Simion Long Chang, the former is his religious name, and the latter is the genealogical name of his family when he was still in the Long family in the Eastern Continent, in fact, not many people know his two names, and the world generally calls him ......"

"King of the Assassins!" Jonah's fingers involuntarily gripped the corners of his clothes, knuckles turning white from excessive force.

Even those who have no common sense know that the power of the whole world is in the hands of twelve. ”

Four of the five guild leaders are members of the Twelve Councils: the Magicians' Guild, the Astrologers' Guild, the Bachelor's Mathematicians' Guild, and the Steam Golemmen's Guild. What kind of mysterious power is sitting in the remaining eight seats, the folk version is not uniform, Jonah heard the rumor that the king of the Tocharian Empire in the southern continent with a brilliant record took a seat, the special representative of the northern elf kingdom took a seat, and there was a special person in the seat of power, because of fear, people always avoided mentioning it. That was the King of Assassins and the spiritual leader of the Assassins: Simion Longchang.

Assassins are the oldest profession and the most mysterious, and people often only hear from the deaths of important people.

The legendary Assassin Syndicate was a loosely disciplined but disciplined organization with branches that covered the continent like a spider's web, and no one knew what they looked like, except that when you needed to kill someone and pay a lot of money, an agent of the Assassins would appear next to you, perhaps a waitress in a corner café, a kind old landlady who met every day.

The Geographical Estimation of the Western Continent mentions only the following sentence about the Assassin Order: It is reported that the sudden death of Her Majesty Queen Wenger II in 2254 is related to the Assassin Order, and the national investigation of Saint-Bouron has been unsuccessful.
