Grand Duke Ortiz's carriage was speeding on the roads of Butan City.

The northern city wall was reduced to ruins. No one expected that the city would fall so quickly. The Sudanese army came in and chaos suddenly came.

Except for Harry and Edmund, who were sitting together, Peter and others rode the snow leopard summoned by Kai and followed around the carriage.

"Didn't you say that there were super masters brought by the Grand Duke? Why did they fall after not even fighting for a while?" Peter asked in surprise.

It's not like the French army was defending the city. Did the rebel base explode too quickly?

Jason sat on the top of the carriage and observed the rear with cold eyes.

"There is a super master in the Sudanese army...he chopped down the city gate with one sword."

Harry was stunned for a moment, "Is he a Ghost Rider?"

"right."

"What a fool, one person attacks the sand and dominates the whole place?"

Peter was shocked. Why send an expeditionary force with this Super Saiyan here? The knight came all by himself.

"The north gate has been captured, and there is an earthquake zone blocking the south gate. Now we can only go out through the west gate..."

Jason spoke solemnly, never expecting that his own magic would harm the Archduke. Nowadays, the Sudanese army must be heavily guarded outside the west gate, and it would be difficult to break through.

Edmund was not panicked and asked very calmly:

"Where are Alfred and the others?"

"...I'm afraid they all died."

The city gate was captured by such a super strong man, but none of the guards returned in advance to warn. It could only be that the group was wiped out, and it was an unexpected group wipeout.

"Is that so...the losses are heavy." Edmund looked at the box with the lantern in his hand, and his eyes sank slightly, "You are the only one now, can you escape?"

"Don't worry, sir. I will risk my life to send you out of the city..." Jason paused and looked at the three people riding snow leopards. "It would be safer if these people are willing to help." Some."

After all, he was an assassin who was not good at fighting on the battlefield, but the three people Harry brought were different. These cannon fodders who can still survive in the face of crazy soldiers are definitely far stronger than ordinary soldiers. Maybe each of them has some unique skills.

Ninja, emissary, knight, mage, a rare but well-balanced combination.

The Duke laughed dumbly and said to Harry, who was sitting across from him: "Now I want to ask for your help."

Harry sighed. If he hadn't met Edmund, the four of them would still be Sudanese soldiers. If they found a chance to sneak into the army, nothing would happen. Of course, it would be okay to go back now, but now that they have met Edmund, and he was planning to help them from the beginning, it would be too unreasonable to continue to be a mere stranger.

"Mr. Edmund, you're welcome. We didn't expect this to happen...but since we are all together, let's help each other."

Not to mention his original intention to escape, Harry's pride as a wizard at Hogwarts did not allow him to leave Edmund alone.

He stuck his head out of the car window and asked Peter and others:

"Where are you? Are you going to run with the Grand Duke or go back?"

Kai said nonchalantly: "Run away. Anyway, the Sudanese people are not happy with it... Speaking of the Southern Continent, can the Grand Duke reward me with a high-quality prostitute for me to play with?"

Edmund laughed dumbly: "When we return to Bavaria, I can let the best singer in the royal capital accompany you for the night."

When Kai heard this, there was light in his eyes and a dream in his crotch!

"Damn, the Duke is so awesome! I'll sell you my life, brother!"

Tadokoro Konno hesitated.

"What, you want to break up the gang?" Kai decided to morally kidnap the fat man for the sake of the singer. "Think about the friendship, bond, and future between the two of you...Have you ever treated you badly? I am a Puxi Toru. I have a portrait of you..."

"No, is the risk a bit too high?"

Fatty felt that if only the four of them escaped together, the risk would be much smaller.

"Judging from your accent, you are from the Eastern Kingdom, right?" Edmund said nonchalantly: "Tasuo...heh, I'm afraid someone in the Eastern Kingdom wants your life? Otherwise you wouldn't be here."

The fat man was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

"Guess. It's not important. What's important is that even if the Sudanese let you go, will you be able to return to the East with peace of mind? But I can promise you that I will provide you with asylum in Bavaria for as long as you want. If necessary, I will How about I help you...just make a friend?"

Tadokoro Konno hesitated for a moment and was kidnapped to the Western Continent. He made some guesses about the mastermind behind the scenes, but even if he returned to the Eastern Continent, there was nothing he could do and it would only increase the risk...

He had heard of the name of Grand Duke Ortiz in the Eastern Kingdom, and he was considered a hegemon in the Southern Continent. In Bavaria, the king may not always have him at his disposal, so it is indeed a good place for temporary refuge.

Then Tadokoro Konno smiled coldly:

"There is an old saying in the Eastern Kingdom: 'Wei Junjie is the one who makes the most of things'. Kai's animal friends and I will definitely protect you."

"Thank you." Edmund smiled and nodded, "Then let us help each other."

"Where are you Peter?"

Harry felt that both Fatty and Kai were okay, but he had to win over Peter no matter what.

Although Harry did not care about politics, he also understood that Peter must not fall into the hands of the great powers in the northern continent.

So he started to tell lies: "Actually, Sudan has a tradition of holding a promiscuity convention to celebrate after winning a war. There are not many women in the city, and a skinny cannon fodder like you, I'm afraid..."

"ah???"

Peter was greatly shocked and subconsciously raised his anus, "Oh my god, you mean they still want to capture me as a man's wife after they win the war?"

"Yes."

Fatty and Kai looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes. Is there such a thing?

"Kay, did you just want to turn around and go back?"

"Ahem, no."

"Why do you look so sorry?"

The Duke asked Peter: "What do you say?"

What else could Peter say.

"Well, you know, Kai and Fatty are my brothers. Brother Potter and I have known each other for a long time. This guy is incredibly strong. I think the three of us will have a good chemical reaction together as a team. Sometimes we do It’s hard to make a decision. After thinking about it for many days and nights, I decided to bring my talents to Bavaria. I can’t wait to receive the Bavarian citizenship.... As for the Sudan, I wish them all the best in the next male ketone party, don’t get involved To shit.”

Edmund smiled slightly, this 86 team are all very reliable people!

The horse pulling the carriage suddenly raised its hooves in fright, and the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Edmund frowned slightly.

No one answered him. At this time, he was approaching the city gate, but the streets, which were originally chaotic because the Sudanese invaded the city, became eerily silent from unknown time on.

What forced the two military horses to stop was the overwhelming air of death.

In front of the city gate.

A scarlet knight, holding a sword, stood there silently.

"Jiejiejiejiejie...Duke Ortiz?! What an unexpected surprise...Jiejie, Jiejie!!"

The black robe stretched in the sky, and the hunched old wizard slowly descended from the city gate, his laughter was sharp and unpleasant.

After the city was broken, he rushed to the battlefield immediately and asked the surviving rebels about the whereabouts of the bronze lantern.

What I didn't expect was that I could catch a big fish!

This was the first time that Peter and others saw the wizard's appearance, which looked like a rotten, wrinkled fruit and looked terrifying.

"Jie Jie, let me tell you, where did the rebels get the crazy potion, and where did they come from with so many masters... It turns out that you, the Grand Duke, was secretly supporting it."

Behind the wizard Wa Ci, a skull covered with red stripes floated in the air, connected to a burning human figure.

This could hardly be called a human form. She curled up into a ball, like a sluggish black coal that was about to burn out. The necromantic alchemy was squeezing out the last vitality and soul from her body. If Wa Ci had not just used the lives of nearby people to add fuel to the fire, Hill would have been burned to ashes.

Wa Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, why were the three people around this carriage...

Looks familiar?

"Are you guys... from Team 86?"

Before he could finish speaking, Peter turned over and jumped off the snow leopard. He quickly drew his sword and rushed into the carriage compartment, put it on Edmund's neck, and escorted the Duke out!

"Byd, run? Let me see where you are running! Did you catch me?!"

Then, Peter stood at attention and shouted to the wizard:

"Hey Yigu~Private Peter, loyal! Honest!"

Kai and Fatty looked at each other, then looked at the silent Scarlet Knight in the distance——

They remembered an old saying from the Eastern Kingdom.

"Private Kai, 충! 성!"

"Private Tiansho, 단!결!"

The three of them said in unison: "The arrest mission has been successfully completed! Pledge allegiance to the Great Sultanate to the death!! Loyalty! Honesty!!"

Duke: "?"

Wa Ci: "?"

He held it in for a long time and asked blankly:

"...What's going on with you guys?"

Peter's eyes were burning and he began to report: "That's it, sir..."

"Before the siege started, I had breakfast. My breakfast was black bread, butter, and barbecued sausages. The breakfast was very delicious. After breakfast, I went to the creek not far from the camp to wash my hands. After rubbing it for five times, at this moment, I heard the gendarme’s rallying horn, oh! I understood that we were about to start siege..."

Wa Qi interrupted him coldly: "Why don't you start from the beginning? Pick the key points!"

"Yes!" Peter said obediently: "To put it simply..."

“Our 86th team focused on realizing the chief’s goal of strengthening the army in the new era, responded to the great call of “building an innovative tribal army”, found a differentiated track for ourselves, and achieved value transformation through simple reuse of potential energy accumulation; Through a unique starting point, he found the vertical field he is good at, achieving industry co-construction and carrier opening; through a focused play combining points and lines, he found the refined tipping point of the Red Sea industry, demonstrating the chief's commitment to the construction and development of the tribal army in the new era. The profound grasp of the law condenses..."

"You're so fucking stupid, aren't you?" Wa Ci couldn't stand it anymore, "I ask why you are with Archduke Ortiz?"

Seeing that the wizard was about to go crazy, Peter did not dare to delay: "Oh, we just wanted to make more money after following the large army into the city, and then we went straight to the center of the city and found this carriage. How can there be a carriage in the city? This He must be a big shot, so we hurriedly chased him, but the two horses ran too fast. He ran, we chased, he ran, we chased... It wasn't until your magic troops descended from the sky that we caught him. ,that's all."

"Oh, is it so?"

Peter blinked innocently.

"Is this man worth a lot of bounty?"

"...Okay." Wa Qi always felt that something was strange, but the experience was quite reasonable, "I will let Walter commend you. Hand over the person."

Edmund snorted coldly——

"Despicable thing, let me go! Do you know who I am?"

After scolding Peter, he looked at the wizard and said with a chill in his tone: "What, you want to capture me and let Letania start a war with the Southern Continent?"

Waji narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a sinister tone: "Dear Grand Duke, you don't seem to understand the situation... This is not Bavaria, but the city of Butan. Who knows where you have gone? You and Leta are here again. What does Niya have to do with it? This is the battlefield of the Sudanese invasion..."

"In other words, even if you die here, what will happen?"

Peter felt bad after hearing this.

According to this logic, if the four of them are also dealt with, won't even the Sudanese know about it?

He subconsciously looked at the knight in the distance, wanting to see what his chances of winning were——

System, a hundred levels of luck, I believe in you, buddy!

[Do you want to spend 100,000 soul chips to conduct a difficulty test? 】

Peter is stupid, one hundred thousand points? Is this a fight against the devil?

System, your bullshit talent.

"My attendant is an assassin, legendary level. He has just left." Edmund showed no fear, "You can kill me here. And he will bring this news back to the Southern Continent... My king will definitely avenge me, do whatever you want."

Wa Ci was silent.

Edmund wasn't lying. He did see another person on the roof of the car at first, but he suddenly disappeared.

If it is a legendary assassin, it will be really difficult to handle, and it will definitely not be caught.

This kind of person wants to hide and run, not to mention that there are only more than 10,000 people left in the remnant army, even a million people can't catch him.

"Jie Jie, Your Majesty the Duke, I was just joking with you."

Wa Qi squeezed out a smile, his old face wrinkled when he smiled: "You know why I came. Please give me the things and don't make it difficult for everyone. I will immediately send someone to escort you back to the Southern Continent. Jie Jie ....”

"What?" Edmund asked knowingly.

"That lamp of the ancient god." There was a strong threat in Wa Guan's eyes, "Jie Jie, you don't have to pretend to be stupid with me. Did you see the knight behind me? The witch-slaying knight has been handed over to me. In order to ensure that the lantern can be taken back... The Witch King is determined to get it, and I think she is willing to go to war with Bavaria. Jiejiejiejie..."

"Oh, you want that lamp." Edmund looked stunned, "I told you earlier, I'll give it to you if you want it..."

Then he took the lantern hanging on his belt from the back hem of his suit and handed it to Peter.

"Take it over."

Peter took the lantern and his eyes narrowed slightly.

What is this...

The lantern is simple in style. The lamp body is made of a piece of gray glass. The lamp body is framed by a silver-textured lampshade. The surface is covered with exquisite and complex Chinese patterns. There is a rusty nameplate embedded at the bottom, and a line of weird, twisted and decayed text is engraved on the nameplate. Just looking at it gives people a sense of madness, as if they are looking at something ominous.

Putting aside the nameplate, the exquisite carving skills make the lantern like a work of art, with great ornamental value.

The system suddenly pops up a prompt——

[Untitled lantern: Symbolizing a long, insignificant time. This is the message that the girl carrying the violin is about to walk under the tree. The evidence of the fire thief's crime was also a miracle that allowed the dying god to forgive the past. 】

["Yeah, only darkness can dispel the light, and it will definitely comfort your loneliness."]
