"Eric, pack up and send a message to the brothers at the other inns, telling them to meet up near Yargar early tomorrow morning, and we'll leave the city at once."

Leon looked at the scene and watched the strange group of attackers disappear from King's Road, and instead of pursuing, he immediately motioned for Eric to clean up the scene and prepare to leave.

Of course, it can't be pursued......

Eric's dart divisions were attacking from behind and from the enemy's flanks, but in this case, there were more casualties than the enemy!

These people are quite combative!

Those enemies obviously didn't expect Li Ang to have so many men, and they were worried that Li Ang would have backup, so they retreated so quickly.

There are more than 200 people on both sides, and if they continue to fight, they will inevitably be suppressed by the city defense army or the army of the Lion Knights......

In fact, the enemy did not lose the wind on the whole, only a dozen or so men were lost in the alley next to the stable, and those on the King's Road actually lost nothing.

These enemies are a strong, well-trained army.

However, it doesn't seem to be a regular army, after all, I've never seen a regular army with so many women in the Lion Realm.

But since this army dared to attack itself in the Lion City, it meant that there must be some big man in the Lion City who was naming and asking for his life.

After the king has already signed an agreement with himself, he is still going to take his own life?

The lord doesn't understand, what kind of person would do this?

Could it be that Ulrique is doing some kind of madness?

Therefore, Leon planned to leave Lion City in a hurry.

It's night, the city gates are closed, and the Lion City is very strict at night, and it's easy for one or two people to get out, but the convoy can't go out of the city together.

Lion City does not allow a large number of armed men to enter and leave at will, and Eric and the others used to enter the city in batches in the name of a transport team, but now they can only leave the city in batches.

Eric commanded half of the brothers to quickly pull out of the carriage behind the inn and carry all the corpses to the wagon, and the dart masters reverted to the appearance of the convoy.

The other half were the men left by Eric to find out the information, and they began to clean the scene to clean up the bloodstains, and clean up the traces of the battle just now.

Naturally, no one would stop the transport convoy with the three baronial flags, and dozens of people flew out of the city.

"Eric, do you know who these people are?"

Outside Lion City, Leon looked at the corpses in several cars, a little confused.

The men lost more than a dozen of them in this short battle, most of them killed by a single sword, and the enemy was generally highly skilled and the weapons they used were also very unusual.

The enemy also left behind a dozen corpses, most of them killed in a sneak attack.

There were a few corpses that were supposed to be adventurers from the Raven Realm.

But more corpses were women, and it was rare for so many female adventurers to gather in one team.

Moreover, these women all seemed willing to protect the leading knight with their lives.

This is even rarer......

Leon picked up a sword and a fan shield from the carriage.

The sword and shield were left by the leading knight.

It was a knight's sword with a pitch-black blade, and it looked older—similar to Leon's own saber.

Moreover, the counterweight of the hilt of the sword is also engraved with a distinct griffin coat of arms.

It's the Griffin Knight's Sword!

The fan-shaped shield was also very old, and the black coat of arms was a little mottled, but it was still recognizable as a griffon. The outer edge of the shield is wrapped in brass, making the entire shield look like a black griffon on a gold background.

This was the equipment of the Griffin Knights back then.

"My lord, this looks like the 'Prodigal Son of Flowers' Milgan Kirik, who is famous in the mercenary line...... His mercenary group is called 'Griffon's Sword'......"

After all, Eric has been a mercenary for more than ten years, and he is still quite familiar, and most of the dart masters under him are also well-informed, and they all said that it should be this person.

The Griffon's Sword mercenary group is indeed famous, but most people feel that they don't really have anything to do with the Griffon Knights of Gupend.

If anything, it's that this mercenary group is generally armed with the weapons of the former Griffin Knights - military swords with griffon crests.

That's why they call it 'Griffon's Sword'.

But this mercenary group is not famous because of this equipment of unknown origin, but because of the leader of the mercenary group, Milgan Kirik.

Milgan is notorious for being greedy, arrogant, and uniquely attractive to women.

Known as Pande's 'Prodigal Son Among Flowers', he was extremely good at hooking up with women......

There are a large number of female explorers or female warriors in the Griffon's Sword mercenary group, most of whom are hooked up with him.

And most of the girls even secretly ran away from home to join his team - voluntarily followed, bringing their own dry food, so no one really could blame him......

Nobles who knew Mirgan Kirik would often lock up their wives and daughters when they saw him, so that they would not be tricked into mercenary groups by him......

However, although Mirgan himself was not well received by the male aristocracy, his mercenary group enjoyed a high reputation on the Pander continent.

So far, the Griffon's Sword mercenary group has been able to complete their missions successfully most of the time, and they are quite reputable.

So it's strange that the nobles are cursing him and hiring him at the same time......

The dart masters talked about the mercenary group, and it seemed that many of them had heard of Mirgan's love story - most of them showed a peculiar kind of envy and jealousy......

Including Eric - he is even more obvious because he is over thirty years old and still a bachelor......

So he changed the subject.

"My lord, these swords look a long time ago, but they are still so sharp, they should be swords made of ebony."

Eric removed another griffin knight's sword from the corpse of another female warrior and slashed the blade with a broken barrel.

The barrel of the gun was easily sharpened neatly.

"Ebony Sword...... Erik, take this sword and use it yourself. In the future, let the brethren keep an eye out for the minerals of ebony. ”

Eric clearly liked the sword, but he hadn't taken it before, and it was clear that Goyu was still practicing the rules that Leon had set at the beginning - to distribute the spoils of war by merit.

It was the capture of the whole team, and now the supreme commander was Leon, so he had to wait for Leon to assign it.

Eric is indeed a very cerebral subordinate.

So the lord gave him the sword directly - the person with the highest achievements in this battle was originally Eric who fully understood Leon's eyes, otherwise if he had directly fought hard, the brothers would have suffered much greater losses than they have now.

The 'ebony' of Pander Continent is actually not wood, but a rare metal unique to Pander Continent.

It is only because this metal produces a wood-like texture when refined into shape, that it is called ebony.

This metal is said to have been used in the manufacture of magical items during the Titan Age thousands of years ago - at that time, this metal was also known as mythril or black gold.

But that's just an ancient rumor, and there's basically no real magic on this continent anymore.

This unique metal of the Pander continent can survive more than 100 years without rust, and it is obviously the best weapon material, and of course Li Ang wants to find it.

……

In the Lion City, Yin Gor's private residence.

An unremarkable-looking aristocratic mansion.

The two are arguing.

"You actually let him run away?"

Yin Geor was a little incomprehensible: "Didn't you bring a lot of people?" ”

"Ingor, you bastard! You say he went on his own road, but he had more than a hundred men at that inn! You've caused me to lose a lot of valiant female warriors! ”

Milgan Kirik brandished his helmet and roared menacingly at Urgor.

"More than a hundred? How so? Could it be that he brought all his troops to Lion City? …… I didn't find it before......"

Yin Geor was confused, but in the blink of an eye, he shook his head: "Even if he has more than a hundred people, with the ability of your griffin sword, it is not difficult to kill him, right?" ”

"Of course I can kill him! But it's different! Do you understand? Killing a man is not the same as killing an army! ”

Milgan shook his head dissatisfiedly, the mustache on his lips was neatly trimmed, and his eyes looked like they were discharging all the time, and he was indeed an extremely handsome middle-aged man.

But this handsome guy's face was blue at the moment, and his electric eyes seemed to be spewing anger.

Yin Geor sighed heavily: "Mirgan, you have to talk about credibility......"

"Of course I'm talking about credibility! I mean, you've got to add money! Ingor! You've got to make up for my loss! ”

Milgan shouted as he brandished his helmet.

"Before he returns to the east, if you can kill him and bring his body to the Lion City, you will get fifty thousand dinars...... Mirgan, are you satisfied with the price? ”

Yin Geer thought for a while, and directly added an outrageous price.

"Fifty thousand...... Aha! I'll have to get a deposit first......"

Mirgan's anger disappeared almost instantly.

"Bullshit deposit! You'd better hurry up and hunt him down! …… If you let him run back to the east and meet Godric, not to mention whether you can kill him or not, even if you can do it, you will lose the point of killing him! He and his men must die in the Lion City precinct, and not one of them can escape! Do you understand! ”

Now it's Yin Ge'er's turn to lose his temper, and if the ink goes down, Li Angke will run away......

If a nobleman like Godric knew that Leon had been released by the king long ago, it would be difficult to plant the black cauldron on the king's head.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape! You can't kill so many people without letting him out of the city—I can't go to war in the city, can I? ”

Milgan said it rather arrogantly.

He does have the capital for arrogance.

After coming out of the Lion City, he went to a camp outside the city.

"My dear, they went all the way west, there were only more than sixty people, and I sent someone to keep an eye on them all the way."

In the camp, a female explorer is making a gesture towards Mirgan.

"Very well, dear, you are the most capable baby...... Everyone, follow me! We've got a big exciting job to do! ”

After hugging the woman and kissing her fiercely, Mirgan brought out a large force of five hundred men from the camp......

It's all cavalry!

This is the reason why the 'Griffon's Sword' mercenary group has such a reputation in the Pander continent - a force that no one can ignore.

……

At night, the speed of the convoy is relatively slow, after all, the vehicles can only travel on the main road, and it is indeed not as convenient as the horses.

The night passed, and until early in the morning, the convoy only moved to the vicinity of the village of Yalagar, at the foot of the Goddess Mountain.

Leon told the group to stop and let the horses rest, and buried all the corpses at the foot of the Goddess Mountain.

Brothers died in battle, of course, they had to have a suitable home, and under the goddess mountain, it was a destination that all the warriors in the Lion Realm would be satisfied with, whether it was the enemy or their own people.

This was also the meeting point agreed with the dart masters in the other hotels in Lion City, but the dart masters had not yet arrived.

"My lord! I seem to hear the sound of horses' hooves! Lots of horses' hooves! ”

At the foot of the mountain, Li Ang was leading his brothers to bury the corpses, and the dart masters who were scouts on the periphery shouted.

The lord turned his head, but he didn't see the enemy.

Eric leaned on the ground and listened: "My lord, it seems that a large army is coming, I don't know if it's my own people......"

The dart masters also had a large number of carriages......

But Risadilan suddenly appeared at this moment, he jumped down from a big tree, and came to the lord's side: "Lord Leon, I saw a large branch of smoke and dust coming here, it is definitely not my own...... You'd better get out of here......"

Risadilan's eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could see far from the trees, and since he said so, it was indeed a large number of enemies coming.

"Risa Dilan, you protect the Lord and leave first, I'll stay and see the situation."

Eric nodded at the Noldor Elf.

Eric is currently the most familiar person with Risadilan other than the lord, and the two of them can occasionally talk to each other - Risadilan is indeed a little guilty of accidentally injuring Eric.

"Erik, it's better to go together...... Those people seemed to know where we were, and they felt like they were going to surround us, and there was no way to stay here! ”

Risa Dilan said a lot of rare words.

"Everyone! Keep up with me! ”

Since there was danger, Li Ang naturally would not waste time, and directly turned on his horse and ordered everyone to start retreating.

Eric followed Leon in a carriage: "Risa Dilan, get in!" ”

The dart masters were indeed well-trained, and within half a minute, all of them drove the carriage and followed Li Ang to the east.

Risadillan's advice was timely, and only a few minutes later, Mirgan was chasing him with his mercenary group.

The scene of the five hundred cavalry galloping was quite amazing, and even in the early morning, when the dew was heavy, it brought out the smoke and dust that rose high all the way.

When he saw the new graves, the leader Milgan slowed down.

He saw a few female warriors who had been placed in the pit with a thin layer of earth, but had not yet had time to bury the tomb completely.

"They've stayed here...... If you leave without covering the soil, you won't be far away! My dear, how do we arrange it now? ”

Milgan asked the female explorer beside him.

"A few dozen miles to the east is a foggy no-man's land – if it were me, I would have run there. My dear, you'd better arrange for two hundred-man teams to close around left and right, and then you lead a large force to pursue them from behind and intercept them at the edge of the fog zone. ”

The woman looked to be in her twenties, the only one in the mercenary group who didn't wear armor, not pretty, but quite capable, probably Mirgan's right-hand man.

"You're well arranged, dear!"

Milgan praised the woman beside him: "Honey, I'm going to charge, you're not good at horseback riding, just stay here and bury these heroic ladies......"

After saying that, he left the capable woman and several female warriors at the foot of the Goddess Mountain, divided the troops into three groups, and continued to pursue eastward.

On the lord's side, after galloping all the way east, he saw two cavalry units with a hundred men each.

A cavalry team of adventurers and rogue knights in the Raven Realm;

The other is full of women, female adventurers and explorers.

This is clearly someone from the Griffon's Sword mercenary group.

The two forces were noticeably faster than the convoy, but they both moved in parallel from the flank, seemingly consciously encircling the sides, compressing the space in which Leon's team could travel, so that he could only move in one direction.

"Stop!"

The lord stopped his horse abruptly, stopping the convoy behind him.

"Erik, turn around, let's go back to the meeting place we agreed with the brothers!"

Leon ordered the return in a tone that could not be questioned.

"My lord, this ...... Ahead is a foggy no-man's land, and we have a good chance of getting out of it! ”

Eric was somewhat incomprehensible.

But Li Ang had already turned around and rode away: "They're wrapping us!" Rise from the ashes...... Hurry up! Keep up with me! Even if you smoke the horse to death, don't get bitten by the enemy! ”

Risa Dilan flew into the driver's seat of the carriage, took the reins of the horse and turned around, whipping the horse's buttocks.

"Eric, those two cavalry were faster than us, but they didn't chase them directly, and your lord's judgment is right...... We can't go any further! ”

In real danger, the Noldor Elf no longer seems to be autistic, and he is probably more experienced than anyone else when it comes to running.

Li Ang ran back with the convoy in a circle, the convoy was empty, and the speed of pulling the horses was quite fast.

The cavalry team on both sides actually ran over for a while, although their horses were much more agile than the convoy, but probably no one expected that Leon would suddenly kill the horse pistol - who would run back when he knew that someone was chasing him......

As a result, when they turned around and chased again, the convoy had already increased its speed, and the two cavalry could only follow on both sides.

A few minutes later, Leon took the convoy around in an arc and returned to the foot of the Goddess Mountain, and the convoy stopped.

"Erik, set up the lineup!"

Leon screamed, and then took Risa Dilan with him to begin cleaning up the few women who had been left here.

It was the capable woman who had been talking to Mirgan, she did not wear heavy armor, but wore a noble brocade robe, probably not very good at skills, so she was left here by Mirgan to bury the tomb.

Now the woman was a little panicked, she obviously did not expect Leon to go and return, and tried to ride a horse on it, but failed to get on it twice—her brocade robe was not very suitable for riding, and the horse was indeed a bit tall for her.

The other female warriors are quite strong, and it is estimated that their combat power is a little stronger than that of the lion knights, and Risa Dilan was actually beaten by them together.

But Leon didn't help......

The lord has always pinched the soft persimmon first in battle, although Li Ang didn't know what was going on with the women who stayed here, but just judging from the way they dressed, and the soft persimmon who was currently present was obviously the woman in the brocade robe.

So, just a dozen seconds later, the woman was slung to the sword around her neck.

This is the sword that Milgan Kirik dropped.
