The older knight only took a step back, then put the sword blade in his hand on the little girl's neck, shook his head at the big cat man, and said: "I'm sorry, friend, I can't do that. This is about loyalty and faith, This is an internal matter within the Kingdom of Kaulin-Ithurion, and I hope you will not interfere.”
The cold steel sword touched her skin, and the little girl could almost feel the cold air coming from the blade. She shuddered, obviously scared to death, tears welling up in her golden eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry, but she clenched her fists and said nothing.
Rhett looked into her eyes and comforted: "Don't be afraid, little lady, they don't dare to do anything to you."
The little girl was slightly startled, looking at this strange big cat man and nodded slightly.
The lion paladin raised his head, holding a scepter, and his red mane and beard were spread out. He bared his snow-white fangs and let out a low growl from his throat: "Marlan's believers never accept threats. Before I count to three, give me an answer——"
Rhett took a heavy step forward, frightening all the Duron City guards to retreat. "If you are a man, come out and fight me openly. I will give you a chance, or you will die in humiliation here."
He raised his pointed claws and shook it slightly: "Otherwise, no matter what the situation, you will not have any delusions today. Unless you die, you will not have a second way to leave here."
The young knight was very excited. Hearing this, he drew his sword and held it in his hand, looking eager to do so. But the older knight stopped his companion and shook his head: "It's my duty, I'm sorry I can't do it."
The latter pointed the tip of his sword at the little girl's snow-white neck, his voice a little hoarse: "If you are still worried about her safety, let us leave."
Dark Fairy Tale stood aside and watched this scene, and couldn't help but touch his cheek.
The big cat man shook his head slightly.
The sunlight made his mane shine. The paladin pressed his paws on his chest. His tall figure suddenly shrunk, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee towards the little girl.
Rhett raised his head and replied warmly: "Little lady, although I don't know your name. But in the name of the brave lady I serve, I swear that I will rescue you and keep you away from all despicable and dangerous things. I take this as my oath." I swear an oath, under the witness of Ms. Marland - to use bravery as a sword and justice as a shield."
The little girl looked at this scene in disbelief, her face flushed. "I believe you, Mr. Knight." A trace of emotion flashed in her golden eyes, and she shouted in a childish voice: "My name is Delis, please don't pay attention to me!"
The older knight suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. He pulled the little girl back, and before the big cat man got up, he suddenly threw the sword in his hand towards her. When Delis saw this, she screamed: "Be careful!"
But Rhett did not dodge or evade. Between the knife marks on his cheek, a glint of light flashed in his pale silver pupils - he raised his paw to block, but before the sword could get close to him, he lightly swatted it away. .
The knight's steel sword spun a few times and fell into the snow.
"Don't come over." The older knight realized that something was wrong and shouted sternly: "——I really know how to do it!"
"If you kill her, I will kill you——"
"There is not only a temple of Ori around here, but your mission is doomed to fail, and your loyalty is worthless."
"Foolish loyalty will not honor your gods."
The lion man jumped up, his voice as cold as ice.
The elder knight's face changed drastically, and he cursed these damn freedom paladins in his heart. The knights of Malan always acted only in accordance with 'true justice', and regarded the laws and power of the mortal world as nothing.
But the big cat man's words hit the point that the knight was most worried about. There may not be only Ori's temple nearby. If the opponent rushes to the resurrection point first and robs the target, all their efforts will be in vain.
Although the Temple of Light was willing to sell the kingdom to save face during this mission, the believers of Roman and Aimea were different from Ori who advocated loyalty, justice and order. One of the owners of the two temples was indifferent to the royal power, and the other simply Indifferent to humans.
Both temples are not so easy to talk about.
He was so confused that he forgot that the real danger was still in front of him. When he regained consciousness, he realized that the tall shadow of the Lion Paladin had shrouded his head. The older knight subconsciously wanted to defend, but it was a moment too late.
A cold light flashed in Rhett's eyes, knowing that it was now.
He suddenly slapped the other person's chest with a claw, sending him flying away and rolling down into the snow, where he didn't know whether he was alive or dead - and then the big cat turned around and grabbed Delis. The little girl was about to reach out her hand, but at this moment, something happened suddenly.
It turned out that Dark Fairy Tale came to the side at some point, suddenly took a lunge, grabbed Delis, and rolled the latter aside.
"Mr. Knight!" Delis struggled for a moment, but how could he be the opponent of the dark fairy tale? She could only shout anxiously.
But the big cat man took a step forward, and the young knight suddenly stopped in front of him. "Help stop them!" Dark Fairy Tale shouted to the knight.
The young knight nodded and raised the sword in his hand. "Everyone form a formation!" He took over the command of the older knight and shouted: "This is a battle to the death, and you will be rewarded after you complete the mission and return!"
Although the Dulon City Guards have no concept of faith and loyalty. However, upon hearing the word reward, everyone regained their morale, raised their spears, and stood in front of Red. Although they are no match for the big cat people, they can cause some trouble.
Dark Fairy Tale was relieved when he saw this.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to rely on a little girl to escape, the mission goal was important, and he didn't care about that much at the moment. He scrambled to his feet and ran towards Allie and the priest.
At the same time, he waved to the two of them and shouted: "Break out from behind!"
Behind is the depth of the valley. A group of people on the platform blocked the entrance to the valley, but in the other direction of the valley, there were only the two people Fang Plover and Sophie who had blocked there before - it would be okay to add one more at most. The fighting power of Jieta.
Although the battle craftsman made Dark Fairy Tale feel extremely fearful, with only two people, it was much easier to deal with than a group of people anyway.
It was just that going deep into the Ash Mountain Forest was completely different from their destination, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment. He holds the mission target in his hand, so in short, he will get rid of these people first.
At this time, a gunshot was heard in the snow, and the flying projectiles hit a place not far from the dark fairy tale, creating a snow pillar.
Dark Fairy Tale subconsciously blocked the little girl behind him, glanced at the ship officer from a distance, frowned, and then put down the gun in his hand. She said to Tianlan beside her: "Tell the captain, please save Delis."
Tian Lan glanced at the valley curiously before nodding.
"Brother Ed."
She whispered to the communication crystal.
In fact, no need to be reminded, Fang Plover and Sophie were already standing in the valley, one on the left and the other on the right.
Dark Fairy Tale took a deep breath when he saw the two people appearing. He had not forgotten the previous scene in his mind. The other party was extremely fearful and quickly waved his hand to Aille who was standing aside: "You are left and I am right. You bring the healer to deal with that combat craftsman."
Aille grimaced. He had seen the previous scene with his own eyes and knew the other party's level better than the dark fairy tale. However, the mission target is in the hands of Dark Fairy Tale, and the latter is also the commander of the team, so he can only choose to obey orders.
Fortunately, the opponent couldn't take back the huge knight's structure for a while——
The Iron Guard of Ragnarok made no mistakes in his judgment this time.
The Alien Dreadnought is near the platform. Although Orphen's Double Star is more flexible than the ordinary Dreadnought, it is still a heavy structure and is far less nimble than a light structure.
Moreover, Fang Yu also estimated the distance and just shook his head, knowing that he would not have time to take it back.
He raised his hand, and a blue light spread out behind him, tracing a gorgeous curve downwards. Its slender four blades reflected the light in the snow. Above his head, a white-gold force field ring sparkled in the sunlight.
It is the capable angel.
However, Fang Plover's summoning action was only halfway completed when he suddenly stopped - he frowned, raised his head and glanced behind Ragnarok's iron guard in surprise.
He seemed to see a dark shadow flashing there, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing there. Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating.
And Aille was paying attention to him all the time, so she naturally saw the look on Fang Plover's face.
He saw Fang Plover had stopped his summons and was wondering what other conspiracy the other party had. Suddenly, he heard a exclamation coming from behind - it was the voice of the priest: "Be careful, Aille, behind you. ...!"
The Iron Guard was startled and turned around. This was his last action.
The next moment, he felt a chill on his neck, and then darkness enveloped his vision.
…
On the other side, Dark Fairy Tale obviously did not notice the changes in this direction.
The one he chose to face was the female knight holding the pale blade - she was a great beauty, and she looked familiar to him - but Dark Fairy Tale was so nervous that he didn't think much about it for a moment.
In fact, Siesta and Baggins had already taught him a lesson before, so that he did not dare to underestimate anyone in the opponent's team. However, the Cavaliers are a quite satisfactory profession. If the strength level is not much different, at least self-protection should not be possible. question.
And he had another plan. The knight was a heavily armored profession, and the opponent's thick magic armor spoke for itself. The ranger is just the opposite. If he can escape the opponent's fight in one or two blows, once he enters the chase, even if he takes one person with him, the opponent may not be able to catch up with him.
His confidence comes from the other side.
He had already learned from the alchemist that Fang Plover was the leader of this adventure group.
Generally speaking, the leader of an adventure group is undoubtedly the most powerful person. And an adventure group cannot have two group leaders, right? As long as Fang Plover is held back by Aille, he will always have a chance to leave with the mission goal.
It's a pity that what the dark fairy tale never expected was——
It is true that a team has only one leader, but it is not necessarily the case for two teams.
Sophie held up her hands, breathed lightly, and slowly blinked her black and white eyes - she was a little surprised to see the ranger rushing towards her, and she was also a little curious.
Generally speaking, the ranger has an advantage against the combat craftsman. Why is the opponent coming directly towards him?
In her memory, when was the last time someone challenged her head-on? Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Veslan thought about it carefully, but she actually couldn't remember it clearly. It seems that nothing like this has happened since she won nine consecutive victories in the Etalia "Rookie King" competition.
She couldn't help but feel a little funny, thinking that this man was really brave.
She actually recognized the other person at this time. He was from Ragnarok, but there were so many people in Ragnarok branches, and she couldn't possibly know everyone. However, the ten major guilds are all domestic alliance guilds. Since the other party has challenged her——
Then of course she has to deal with it seriously.
She raised her sword, and there was a silver flame on the blade.
"Explosion of power," Sophie thought silently in her mind, "should it be enough?" she thought to herself. The magic furnace behind the Silver Veslan Princess lit up slightly, and golden light patterns went up along her magic armor.
Until it blends into the blade.
A cold light.
"Silver Pegasus!"
Suddenly, the dark fairy tale was filled with chills. It wasn't anything else, but he felt that he had seen it wrong - the silver magic furnace behind Sophie, with its unique shape of overlapping wings, seemed to be the one in Lotao's Temple of Valor. A collector's edition magic furnace priced at one and a half million lisels.
What a knight dreams of——
Only thirteen pieces of this thing were produced in total, for use by paladins and guard knights below level 20, and their owners were all extraordinary people.
He only thought that he might be hallucinating, but as an elite of Ragnarok, he had not yet made the low-level mistake of the old knight before. He reacted in a flash, saw the opponent slashing at him with a sword, and raised a pair of daggers in his hands. Block.
Unlike the crossbow archer, the ranger can be used at both distance and close range, but his close range capabilities are far inferior to his ranged capabilities.
Dark Fairy Tale knew in his heart that the knight's first sword almost always carried a divine lock, and dodging was just asking for trouble. Although his melee combat ability is poor, if he can only block a sword, it shouldn't be a problem.
But he immediately opened his eyes wide.
I saw the opponent's sword slashing down, and my own pair of short swords were broken in response - the power of breaking blades, this is not a knight's ability, but a very rare passive skill plug-in. He saw the golden guide on the opponent's armor and suddenly remembered what it was.
Power Burst IV 'Comet-Ve' type, the price of this plug-in alone is as much as his entire wealth.
Moreover, this plug-in is Silver Vislan’s unique technology.
He suddenly raised his head, and the more he looked at the other person, the more familiar he looked - and finally realized who he was challenging. This thought made him almost want to hit his head on the rock and die - invincible in frontal battle, Silver Veslan.
And what he challenged was the princess of Silver Vislan's generation.
Dark Fairy Tale almost shed tears. If this operation is placed in the community, it is estimated that it can be ranked in the Top 10 collection of mentally retarded operations in Ettaria this month.
But he is mentally retarded, and he is not willing to die. He throws away the dagger and retreats, then rips off the necklace around his neck and shouts: "Avoid!" Avoiding the necklace can give him a chance to get out of the opponent's attack range. , Dark Fairy Tale only hopes to give itself a better direction.
He still has a hostage in his hand. The other party is not a paladin of Malan, so he still has to pay attention to the knight's code.
But what made his vision darken.
Before he could emit a flash of light from his necklace and wrap it around him, the opponent's armor already glowed brightly, locking him in place. "Anchor Gauntlets..." Dark Fairy Tale was about to cry.
He had seen this gauntlet before, and it was priced at 1.2 million lisels on the black market.
The dark fairy sat down in the snow.
There is no doubt that he has lost his last chance - but what makes him extremely frustrated is that he feels that he is not defeated by the opponent's skills.
But I was just beaten to death by money...
"You lost." Sophie put away her sword. After all, Silver Vislan and Ragnarok were allied guilds in the country. Unlike the alchemist, she couldn't kill them all, so she just said this.
But just as Dark Fairy Tale was about to answer something, he suddenly heard a scream coming from a distance.
"do not come!"
That was the voice of the priest in his team.
The two of them turned around together, only to see the body of the iron guard named Aille lying in the snow, his head lying on the side, dripping with blood. But it was obvious that it was not Fang Plover who took action, because the latter was standing motionless at the other end of the valley, watching this scene from a distance.
And not far from Ragnarok’s iron guards and priests——
There is a girl.
She has long black hair and golden eyes. In the harsh winter, she only wears a black dress, swaying in the wind.
The girl didn't seem to hear the priest's words, nor did she see anyone in the valley. Her eyes seemed to be only looking in one direction, and then she walked forward slowly. When she passed the priest, the latter suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
Then black flames ignited all over his body.
It turned into ashes in an instant.
…
