The castle is like a hermit crab, and the castle is close to the mountain rock behind it, and it looks as if it is the power of a city to lift up the entire majestic mountain.

The Great Rock Castle has walls that match its name, and from the outside, the castle is surrounded by sturdy and tall walls.

Under the cover of the mountain rocks, the Giant Rock City was shrouded in shadows at this moment.

Count Darcy, Lord of Boulder City, stood in front of the window, holding a letter from Devonburg, the news on the letter was not good, the enemy had begun to move, and it was time to close the net.

The letter burns in a candle flame.

"The grandeur of Boulder City is better than seeing it. ”

"Welcome, Archbishop Nelson. ”

Having said that, there was no hint of welcome on Count Darcy's face.

Nelson, one of the five archbishops of the Holy See, is the youngest of the five archbishops, who seems to be less than thirty years old, and always has a modest and reserved smile on his face, which lacks experience.

But this smile is a life-reeling knife.

Each of the five bishops of the Holy See has his own nickname, and he is called "Hundred-footed Nelson", this young archbishop has the entire Holy See's intelligence network in his hands, and he has heard that Nelson's minions are all over the empire, and even more so, Nelson even knows the secrets of the royal family very well.

It is precisely because of this that Nelson has all the information in his hands that is beneficial to or against the Holy See, and he knows who is loyal and who has bad intentions.

When Nelson smiles at you, you should think about whether you want to be rewarded or if you want to be on the ground.

Nelson: "Thank you very much Earl Darcy for your generosity. ”

Darcy: "Yes, who made Bernie suddenly become a madman, shut himself up, and leave everything alone? ”

Nelson: "Of course not, after all, there are many such nobles in the empire, and the Holy See has not received the help of Count Darcy this time." ”

Darcy: "Don't compare me with them, my generosity is because I obey the rules, since it was stipulated that the lords should cooperate with the Holy See when necessary, then I will cooperate at the 'necessary time', and I must not follow the rules because of some people." ”

Nelson: "And what if there is no such rule?"

Count Darcy turned and stood with his back to him, and he did not bother to answer such nonsense.

Archbishop Nelson's smile remained unchanged, and he took two steps back, his body peeking through the wall, his eyes cold as he appeared in the empty aisle.

A voice came from the shadows, reaching the archbishop's ears through magic.

"Archbishop Nelson, I'm sorry about the Marquis Bernie's investigation, we didn't get any useful information, the person who attacked him didn't leave a trace, this person bypassed the eyes of the city's guards and magicians, and quietly slaughtered all the living creatures in the entire lord's mansion, leaving no clue other than a 'warning' to the Marquis Bernie. ”

Nelson pondered slightly: "So be it, this time the main thing is to receive the holy relics, this stupid donkey's business is just incidental, and the transportation preparations have been prepared?"

"Back to the Archbishop, the decoy team led by His Highness Raymond has set off first, and another escort team will follow closely behind and head directly to Boulder City. ”

Nelson: "Very well, you know what this time means, don't let me down, let alone His Holiness the Pope." ”

"Yes!"

The aisle was quiet again, and Nelson looked into the distance through the window, saying to himself, Clifford wishes you all the best over there.

......

...

The sun was shining in the distant sky, and looking down from the sky without the slightest cloud obscuration, it was a quiet forest. The forest is so dense that you can't see much from any way you can see it.

There are no roads, no sun, no clearing in the forest, and at first glance in what seems to be a static picture, an inconspicuous meadow moves, slowly bulges, and then moves rapidly.

Breaking through the dense grass and thick tree trunks, in the process of moving forward, it suddenly seemed to hit something, the space rippled in circles, and the grass disappeared like a fish in water.

It is a huge illusion magic array, like the skin of a chameleon, simulating the colors of the forest.

The grass that had just disappeared jumped on the spot, and when it landed again, it had turned into a human form, a man wearing fur shoulder armor.

The man hadn't taken a few steps before his vision suddenly opened up, and a man-made forest clearing appeared in front of him.

There were people encamped in the open space, more than 20 men and women.

The man asked one of them, "Where's the boss?"

The man pointed to the largest tent, and the man understood and walked straight.

Everyone on the road had serious expressions, dealing with their own work, and the atmosphere of the whole camp was serious.

Coming to the tent, a middle-aged man looked at the map unfolded on the table and thought about things.

The man said, "Boss, I'm back." ”

The middle-aged man paused for a moment before saying, "Sam, how's it going?"

The man named Sam took out a crystal from his bosom, and the crystal floated in the air from his hand, and then illuminated some scenes, which showed a knight, silver frost armor, and formidable force, leading a team of nearly 100 people, with a cavalry team at the front, a magician team in the middle, and an infantry team in heavy armor at the end.

Sam: "Boss, the situation is not very good, the strength of the magician's team is all above the third order, not counting the fifth-order magicians at the top of the rank, there are twenty-five, and the infantry behind are all demon devouring armor, making it impossible for people to launch a magic sneak attack in the back, the only breakthrough is the cavalry team in front, but you can also see that one of the seven people leads the team, this is a team that no matter which angle you attack from, you can't hurt them in the slightest." ”

The middle-aged man's brows tightened in thought, the situation was indeed not good, whether it was in terms of number or strength.

Middle-aged man: "Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"

Sam: "Not yet. ”

Middle-aged man: "Then it looks like we're going to have to go according to plan." ”

Sam said anxiously: "But this is suicide! What can more than 20 of us do with a team of this level?"

The middle-aged man's mouth was tightly closed, he couldn't say anything that could calm his subordinates, this was indeed a suicide, and it was probably a senseless suicide, and the other party put a lot of effort into it this time, much more than they imagined.

The middle-aged man looked at the map, and just when he was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly saw a faulty area on the map, and he asked, "Where will the team pass?"

"Why do you ask this?" Sam wondered, the Boss should know the route very well, "They will follow the direction of the destination, only the main road, and each lord will help ...... along the way"

"Yes, but taking the road doesn't mean ......," the middle-aged man looked at his subordinates, "There won't be a little obstacle around them." ”

Sam looked at the map, his pupils dilating, and he glared at the man.

The middle-aged man points to the map.

"At the very least, make suicide more meaningful. ”

......

...

At the exit of Fort Devon, three bounty hunters stood in a triangle, no mission as tense and weird as this one.

The old vulture, a man with whom they are full of evil.

Not only does he deceive and calculate, but every time he makes you grit your teeth with hatred, but in terms of results, there are always gains and losses, which makes people frightened and profitable.

Be friends with him, a sinister villain, you will definitely not be at ease, completely cut off relations with him, a lot of work and benefits are inseparable from him, because this man is unexpectedly valued by President Clifford, unless you leave Devonburg, otherwise as long as you are a bounty hunter for a day, you will not be able to break contact with the old vulture for a day.

"I really didn't expect it. ”

The dwarven warrior suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed.

Who would have thought that there would be such a serious cooperation with the old vulture.

Pierce: "Grad, are you sure you're okay?"

Grack: "Are you sure? I'm sure you're hairy, is that something people can be sure of?"

Laura: "But what we do know for sure is that he doesn't deserve our trust, the question is where to get it." Carrying out tasks together requires you to trust your companion to a certain extent, but he ...... I can't feel comfortable giving my back to the old vulture. ”

Gerak: "Nonsense, I'm relieved?"

Pierce: "So, what are we going to do?"

The three were silent.

"No matter, this time the escort, what should the three of us do, but remember, what's the matter, the three of us can only communicate with each other at the first time, and then decide not to talk to the old vulture, to be honest, tell this guy what I know, let me panic." ”

The dwarven warrior has come to a conclusion, the mission has not yet begun, and everyone can't predict what the specific situation is, but they only know that there is a "small pimple" in this big task, so it is good to complete the escort task while paying attention to this "small pimple".

The other two did not object to the dwarven warrior's rude plan, because they really didn't know what to do.

Just when the three of them were first decided, the figure of the old vulture appeared.

"Everyone seems to be on time, which gives me a strong sense that this mission will go very well. ”

Pierce shuddered, and just hearing the old vulture's words made him feel an ominous premonition rising above his head.

Grack picked up the double-edged axe and said with a serious expression: "Listen, old vulture, this mission is extraordinary, and it was appointed by President Clifford himself, I don't like accidents, especially among us, do you know what I mean?"

The old vulture laughed and said, "Of course, my friend, rest assured, that what you said will never happen among us, no matter what has happened before, this time, we are four people in a boat, and I cannot swim." ”

"Good. ”

The dwarven warrior nodded in satisfaction, and then revealed the matter.

Laura on the side became more and more worried, there was a strange connection between the old vulture and Grad, this strange connection was like glue glued to the two of them, connecting them together, this connection also had a hierarchy system, and the old vulture had always had the upper hand from the beginning.

Including now.

Knowing that the other party is cunning.

Why did a simple word slacken Grad's vigilance?

The mission had just begun, and Laura was already feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
