Dang-*⋆! !
Amidst the sound of collision and sparks flying, the horse of Leon, the leader of the Imperial Blue Dragon Knights, and Alvin, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, passed by each other in an instant.
"..."
At the same time, after the crisp sound of a broken sword, Leon, who reined in his horse in the distance and turned back in shock, only saw in shock: the orange-haired swordsman whose body should have been separated instantly under his sword, at this time, He was still standing where he was, but he looked a little staggered and embarrassed?
"Alvin!!"
"Mr. Alvin! Are you okay?"
Seeing Alvin standing there stupidly holding a dagger, Hain and Liana both exclaimed at the same time, then both ran to Alvin's side and asked with concern.
"I……"
First, he looked at the broken sword in his hand that was instantly cut into two pieces with some doubts. Then he reached out and touched his neck to make sure that it was intact and nothing was missing. Then he looked at it with some fear and confusion. He saw the terrifying leader of the Imperial Blue Dragon Knights who had turned his horse's head in the distance.
"I'm fine..."
Now, Alvin has personally experienced the terrifying aspect of that empire's fierce general, that legendary man, that person known as 'the strongest knight in the continent'!
There is no doubt that the opponent's strength is far superior to his. In a head-on confrontation with Hain's magic cover, he just couldn't resist even one of the opponent's moves. That was really too scary and terrifying. People.
but……
What makes Alvin feel even more strange is what happened just now and why didn't he die?
"..."
At this time, Leon himself, who was riding on horseback, was also a little surprised.
So, he first glanced at the weapon with a small gap in his hand, and then continued to patrol the body of the orange-haired swordsman who was also a little stupid, the other little mage, and the target miko.
Soon, he withdrew his gaze from the three people and turned to look around.
Unfortunately, there was nothing around him. Except for Liat and others on the other side of the bridge, who were looking at him with doubts, he saw nothing.
"What is he going to do?"
"have no idea……"
"But!"
"Alvin, why didn't he kill you just now?"
"He was going to kill me, but as you just heard, after my sword broke, it seemed that it was suddenly blocked by something."
"What is it?"
"I have no idea!!"
Facing Hain's questioning, Alvin seemed a little irritable and impatient.
In fact, if it were any person who wandered between life and death without knowing what was going on, he would definitely be in the same state as him now.
"who is it?"
"Come out!"
At this time, before Alvin and Hain could figure out what had just happened, Leon himself, who was riding on horseback, noticed the abnormality first and shouted rudely to the people around him. .
That's right!
He just felt that someone must have been secretly protecting the orange-haired swordsman, otherwise, the guy without any magic items on his body would have been killed by his sword on the spot.
"!!"
"Is there anyone?!"
Hain and Alvin looked at each other in surprise, and then they also looked around.
However……
Apart from the mountains, rivers, groves and the familiar village across the bridge, they saw nothing here, and they had no idea who the terrifying Imperial Legion Commander was shouting about.
"..."
"Aren't you coming out yet?"
"If you don't come out, I'm going to take serious action. Are you sure you can always protect those two brats?"
After waiting for a while and realizing that a certain guy who was hiding in the dark had no intention of showing up, Leon felt annoyed. He once again held his long sword horizontally, and then looked at the guy at the bridge head with fierce eyes. The orange-haired swordsman and the little blue-haired mage.
"ah!"
"Is there anyone else here?"
"Where is it? Adjutant Liat, did you see it?"
"No……"
"What kind of person can block the sword of our Captain Leon without showing up?"
"I've never heard of him, but he could only be that kind of mysterious mage."
"Mage?"
"What kind of mage can use magic to secretly block Captain Leon's attack? I'm afraid even Egbert, the leader of the Black Dragon Mage Group, can't do it, right?"
"I don't know, just keep watching!"
On the other side of the stone bridge, Liat and the infantry captain, who had just been surprised by the failure of their Leon commander's attack, finally learned the truth and discussed in a low voice while guarding their surroundings.
"You really can't come out..."
"very good!"
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no movement around, Leon, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights, suddenly frowned, then clamped his horse's belly, causing the horse under his crotch to accelerate again, and then headed straight towards the lost place. The young man who dared to disobey the imperial army's will rushed over with no weapon.
"ah!"
"Alvin!"
"careful!!"
Hain, who didn't see any helpers around, but saw the terrifying leader of the Blue Dragon Knights rushing towards him again, had no choice but to shout, then quickly raised his hand and fired a flaming arrow towards the opponent's head accurately. passed.
Now that Hain's magic power has bottomed out, he can shoot at most one or two flame arrows. As for the powerful pyrotechnic just now, he really can't squeeze out any of it.
"!!"
Alvin didn't speak, he just managed to raise his half-remaining one-handed sword, gritted his teeth, jumped up towards the opponent and slashed at him fiercely.
Putting aside the opponent's identity and ability, the mere fact that the opponent was a cavalryman charging on horseback while he and Hain were on foot was enough to put them in a desperate situation!
Although this is not a battlefield, a charging knight is a nightmare for anyone on foot, especially if they do not have long weapons to attack and counterattack.
Therefore, apart from jumping up and trying his best to attack or knock the enemy off his horse, Alvin really had no other option.
"madness!"
Bang! !
With just one punch, Leon, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights, extinguished the small fireball thrown by Hai En. Then, without waiting for the swordsman to jump to the highest point, he slashed down at him. He was experienced and experienced. With a very strong combat power, he struck preemptively and struck hard at Alvin who was in the air with no room for dodge or leverage.
at the same time!
With the speed of his horse and the force of his sword, he also slashed the mage not far behind the swordsman.
Uh-huh!
"Wow!!"
"Uhhhhh!!"
As a sword light lit up.
The next moment, the broken sword in Alvin's hand was cut off again. Then, he flew out with the hilt of the sword and Haine, who was still standing on the ground behind him, screaming in agony, and all of a sudden he flew out. It rolled down to the slope next to the road.
"!!"
"A-Mr. Alvin!!"
"Hain?!"
Seeing her good friend and handsome Alvin once again being slashed away by the terrifying leader of the Blue Dragon Knights with a sword, Liana, who was standing aside but not receiving any attack, quickly exclaimed and then ignored everything else. He rushed directly towards the two people who were lying on the grass at the bottom of the slope.
"good!"
"Long live the leader!"
"Kick them to death!"
"yeah!"
"As expected of Lord Leon!!"
"good!!"
Seeing that the two guys who had caused heavy casualties to more than a hundred imperial soldiers and were unable to advance or retreat were killed by their own regiment leader with a single charge, the imperial cavalry and infantry who were still in the village at this time raised their arms and shouted wildly. .
Chirp~!
"..."
At this time, Leon, the leader of the Empire's Blue Dragon Knights, who was controlling the horse, was slowly slowing down the horse's speed and stopped steadily on the stone bridge.
Then, he gently turned the horse's head and frowned at the two young men rolling down the road. At this time, unlike the soldiers behind him, there was no happy look on his face at all.
"Ahem!"
"Liana, don't treat me, I'm fine!"
"Alvin, what about you?"
"I'm fine too..."
Hain, who slowly stood up from the grass and propped himself up, first rejected Liana, who ran over and wanted to use magic to treat her, and then looked at me in disbelief with Alvin, who also looked puzzled. You looked at each other in confusion.
"We are all fine..."
"What exactly is going on?"
Then, Alvin asked with some confusion.
"I don't know either......"
"etc!"
"That just seemed like a magic shield, that smell of magic..."
"is teacher!"
"That's right, it must be!"
"Teacher! Is that you?"
"I recognize it, it's you!!"
Then, Hain seemed to notice something, and then he jumped up and shouted around.
Hain has always been very sensitive to magic, and it was just repaired yesterday, so he instantly recognized the familiar magic that was still lingering around the two of them.
"!?"
"teacher?"
Hearing the blue-haired little mage shout loudly, Leon remembered the situation in front of the hotel yesterday, and then he also began to be on guard, and at the same time he kept scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
He knew who the teacher that the little blue-haired mage was talking about was definitely the arcane archmage who was rumored to be very powerful when they paid a special visit yesterday but failed!
And now, judging from the fact that the other party can save people from his hands two or three times without showing up, the arcane archmage really has some real abilities.
It's a pity that they haven't had time to meet each other yet, but they are in opposing camps because of certain things.
"Pooh!"
ε=(◕ˇεˇ◕｡))) Bah! !
"Who is your teacher?"
(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful if the bear eats you!"
s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ
Suddenly, with a flash of blue magic energy, a little girl sitting on the shoulders of a two-meter-tall stuffed bear appeared and looked angrily at the girl who wanted to continue to grow. shouted the little blue-haired mage angrily.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
(However, Tibbers said that Uncle Bear was not interested in the two rough-skinned male humans, but was very appetitive to the female witch.)
"!!"
is her?
Seeing that the person who came was a little girl, Leon couldn't help being shocked, and then he widened his eyes and took a breath of cold air.
Judging from the reactions of the two people and the teleportation spell that only a very few accomplished mages could master, it was not difficult for him to surmise that the little girl was probably the rumored arcane master he was looking for yesterday. !
"Hi~!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Hello, uncle!"
٩(๑^o^๑)۶
After first angrily scolding the stupid guy named Hain and correcting the other person's wrong wording, so that the other person could only stand there with a blushing face and dare not say a word, Anne then turned her head and faced the man riding his horse on the bridge. A certain uncle Leon said hello.
When we were in the hotel, Annie met the other person several times and talked a little. Although they were not familiar with each other, they still knew each other, so she said hello to each other.
"You are the arcane archmage, right?"
"But……"
"Why didn't you admit it yesterday?"
Seeing that the mysterious enemy who was hiding in the dark and repeatedly using some kind of weird magic shield to resist his attacks finally appeared, Leon breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask with some confusion.
"No one refuses to admit it!"
(°ー°〃)
"Because I'm not an arcane mage to begin with!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
Anne made a face at the other party.
"ah?"
"no?"
Leon was a little surprised to hear that the other party denied it.
If this little guy who just ruined his affairs and can also teleport is not the arcane archmage, then who is the real arcane archmage and how powerful is it?
Thinking about it, Leon tightened the war blade in his hand uneasily.
And for the first time, he felt that in this mission, he only took 40 light cavalry and 100 light infantry to go deep into the enemy's rear. Was it really a bit reckless?
"yes!"
(*^▽^*)
"I'm not a great arcane mage. I'm actually..."
(„ಡωಡ„)
“It’s the kind of most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most The most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful super arcane mage!”
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
A certain troubled little girl solemnly said her correct name on the giant bear's shoulder, and did not forget to wink at him playfully afterward.
(…)
ε=(´㉨｀●)))Alas
"..."
After hearing this, Leon opened his mouth in shock. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say.
"..."
"..."
At this time, Alvin and Liana, who were beside the road and under the slope, were doing the same thing. They just stared with incredible eyes at the weird guy who was riding on the shoulders of the strange bear and was called teacher by Hain. little girl.
"..."
Hain, on the other hand, looked indifferent.
Obviously, he must have seen similar things before, so he has a high immunity.
"Yeah?"
"I see……"
Leon, who felt that he had been teased, slowly closed his eyes first, and then opened them suddenly.
"You want to be an enemy of our empire, right?"
"If that's the case..."
"Then today, I, Leon, will definitely defeat you here on the name of the Blue Dragon Knights!"
As he spoke, Leon slowly pulled out another unsheathed red sword from his waist, and quickly prepared to go all out and kill a powerful mage.
"Eh?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"I'm not teasing you!"
(ʘ̆ωʘ̥̆‖)՞
"Also, I don't want to be your enemy. I just can't stand how many of you bully the three of them!"
♪(′∇`*)
Anne quickly explained.
"correct!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"I will give you a piece of news for free: Many of that lord's troops are on their way here now. They have reached the back of this mountain and will soon be around. If you don't leave, you will probably have to leave. Surrounded!"
☆⌒(*＾-゜)v!!
After saying that, Annie winked at the other party playfully again.
"ah!"
"What did you say?"
Leon was startled, and then he began to listen.
"!!"
Sure enough, he actually faintly heard a lot of heavy footsteps and horse hooves, and with that kind of movement, there must be not many people coming.
"..."
So Leon fell silent.
Obviously, if the hundred or ten of them continue to stay here, they will not only have to face a powerful mage, but also risk being surrounded by local lords. The terrible consequences are obviously not something they can bear. of.
"Liat!"
"Bring the wounded and corpses..."
"Let's withdraw!!"
So, knowing that there was nothing he could do, and knowing that he might not be sure to quickly take down the little girl arcane archmage, Leon first glared fiercely at the orange-haired swordsman and the blue-haired little mage down the slope. , keeping those two people in mind, and looked at the witch named Liana with tangled eyes for a long time, and finally waved his hand helplessly, letting the war horse retreat slowly and at the same time towards his adjutant. The order to retreat was given.
"yes!"
Although he was also a little unwilling in his heart, Liat, who was already a little guilty because of his incompetence, felt annoyed and had to give the order to retreat to the soldiers.
soon!
The leader of the Imperial Army's Blue Dragon Knights followed his adjutant, took his lightly-armed soldiers and a bunch of wounded corpses, and retreated toward the south in dejection. It didn't take long for him to completely evacuate the village.
"ah!"
"Great, saved..."
"Thank you so much, Teacher Anne..."
Seeing those terrifying imperial soldiers finally retreating quickly under the leadership of the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights, seeing the village returning to calm, his body had become empty, and Hain, who didn't have much magic power left, collapsed on the ground. , and then said gratefully to a certain bad little girl.
"!!"
(•'╻'•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ
"Shut up! As I said just now, I'm not your teacher! Besides, I don't have such an ugly apprentice like you!"
o(´^｀)oHmph!
After saying that, Annie ignored the three of them and patted Tibbers on the head, letting him lead her towards the village.
"ah?"
"But......"
Stretching out his hand, Hain wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he had to lower his hand in frustration and sighed.
That's right, that powerful little girl, the Arcane Archmage, did not say that she would accept him as her apprentice. She just taught him a pyrotechnic. Then, thinking that he had an opportunity, he had to shamelessly Call the other person teacher, and that's probably what happened.
However, Hain will not give up. He will definitely use his actions to prove that he is a useful, smart and worthy apprentice!
