Not to mention, although they were just two miscellaneous soldiers, Ren and the others eavesdropped for a while and found that they knew quite a lot.
Troop Soldier A: "Hey, have you heard? The King of the Holy City has received a powerful boost recently."
Cannon Fodder Soldier B shook his head:
"I heard about it, but are you sure it was a boost? Why do I feel like she is an unstable factor who may betray the king at any time?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. After the fierce internal struggle, there are only a few people left in the Knights of the Round Table.
In order to deal with the returning... false king and the mysterious heroic spirit that can suppress Gao Wenqing head-on, the king can only choose her. "
When the false king was mentioned, Soldier A's face looked a little unnatural.
Because rumors have been spreading around the outpost recently - for example, there are rumors that the Lion King is a monster and the false king is the real King Arthur.
"But is this really a good idea? It is said that that woman once used conspiracy to destroy Camelot..."
"Shh! Shut up, that woman has great powers, and those who say bad things about her behind her back may be perceived. Do you want to die?!
Besides, the current king is no longer the noble king who cannot tolerate stains. I believe that the Lion King, who is as powerful as a god and has a transcendent mentality, will be able to control that person. "
Even so, Soldier A still shuddered when he thought of the legend about that treacherous and cruel witch.
"Yes, stop immediately! I don't know why, but I always feel that the atmosphere in this city has become very depressing these days, as if a pair of eyes are secretly watching everything."
Soldier B also shuddered.
They looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts.
Not daring to continue gossiping and discussing behind their backs, the conversation between the two ended and they continued patrolling honestly.
However, the eavesdroppers also roughly knew something about the situation.
Ren made a silent gesture, and Sigurd, who was wearing the "Dark Night Veil", nodded and quietly retreated.
Yes, not only did he not rush to kill, but he quietly retreated and crawled down behind a small slope more than 400 meters away from the outpost city wall.
Knowing that there was probably a trap, it would have been too hasty for the three of them to rush in together to save people.
It is necessary to leave one person to respond or respond. Otherwise, everyone will be trapped together, leaving no room for tactical maneuver. Wouldn't it be a joke?
Under the navy blue night, everything is silent.
Ren activated the class skill "Aura Blocking" and turned his head to look at Scathach's eyes that seemed to be burning with fire.
The eyes of the two of them met, but they didn't communicate. With a tacit understanding, she used the "wisdom of the devil" to obtain "breath blocking", and the armor on her body was temporarily integrated into the tights.
The "Valkyrie Armor" can be integrated into clothes. In this state, the defensive effect is half that of when it is revealed, but it is better than concealment.
Whoosh~
The next second, two ghostly shadows flashed past the gate of the walled city.
puff!
The sharp blade penetrated the body, and the patrolling soldier in dragon suit felt a sudden pain in his chest, and a huge blood flower bloomed!
He instinctively glanced down, and the blood-stained scarlet tip came into view...
Poof~
Scathach pulled out the magic gun with a cold expression and brought out a stream of blood!
The soldier whose heart was pierced looked confused, and she put one hand on his back and gently placed him on the ground.
"Uh uh..."
Soldier B on the side also covered his neck and made a slight noise in his throat.
His body twitched a few times, and the soldier whose clothes were stained with blood on his chest was slowly put down with his hands, revealing Ren's figure behind him holding a sword.
'Walk. '
He gestured to BBA to proceed.
Miso miso~
Looking at the walled city dozens of meters high, the two of them placed their palms on the tiny convex surface of the walled wall, and their movements were as flexible as apes among the branches, leaping upward quickly.
"Um?"
One of the soldiers seemed a little aware.
Just when he was about to glance down, he saw the phantom flash, and his throat was immediately pierced by the tip of the spear like bloody lightning!
The wind roared loudly.
Dark shadows flickered.
Scathach flew across the city, and every time he paused after leaping and jumping, someone would be instantly pierced through the neck or heart by the magical spear, drawing out bright red blood!
The purple tights outline her devilish figure, and she naturally exudes a dangerous atmosphere.
Like a bloodthirsty goddess of the night.
In a moment, she killed four patrolling groups of soldiers.
It was neat and tidy, and the harvest was completed quickly before everyone could react.
the other side.
Ren's palm released a burst of blue light, and the light of a magic node arranged on the city wall to detect magic gradually dimmed.
Just now she was clearing away the soldiers, and he was breaking the detection magic.
"Although we know that no matter how cautious we are, we can't avoid alerting Lao Yinbi who is secretly preparing to hunt, but since we are here to sneak in and save people, we still have to be considerate."
Ren smiled softly and took back his palm.
He is an Assassin, and breaking goals with violence is too unskilled.
Looking at the Demon Queen holding the blood-stained magic gun in her right hand, walking towards him with vigorous steps like a blooming black rose, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Scathach nodded to him, with a cold expression on his snow-skinned face.
It seemed that after entering the killing state, she lost a lot of unnecessary emotions.
Ren suddenly reached out and grabbed her free hand, pulling her into the stairs leading to the inside of the walled city.
"We seized the time and sneaked into the basement before the soldiers who came to change shifts discovered these bodies and rescued the prisoners."
"..."
Scathach was startled when the man held his little hand. This guy is too bold...
She tried to break away a few times, but failed. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the slightly dark staircase.
It has the scanning and perspective function of "Eye of Deception" to avoid patrolling soldiers.
Coupled with the "aura blockage", Renn led her smoothly to the entrance of the dungeon where the prisoners were held without disturbing anyone during the process.
And the palms of the two people who had been holding hands became a little warm.
But BBA didn't say anything, just silently followed him without saying a word, being pulled by him to avoid detection magic and various traps set along the way.
The dungeon seemed very empty.
As soon as the two entered, a cold and decaying aura hit their faces.
There is still a musty smell in the air, and there is almost no breath of life around. There may only be two "people" imprisoned in this fortress post taken from the Crusaders.
"Mark￡Ψ......"
In the dungeon, a hoarse and strange voice of unknown meaning suddenly sounded.
The dark wind roared, and a burst of black mist spread. Only a few twisted and blurry terrifying figures were seen falling off the walls of the cells on both sides, and they rushed towards the intruding strangers with claws and teeth.
The eyes and heads of their heads were dancing with ghostly fire, and the palms lingering in the black mist exuded a strong aura of death!
“There were many people who died tragically in this cell before, so it’s easy for this kind of evil spirit to persist.
They have an extreme hatred for the living and a keen sense of perception. When used by magicians, they become a very useful warning device. "
BBA said in a cold tone, and finally took out his left hand that had been grasped by the man.
The magic power condensed, and she touched the palm of her hand in the air, forming a string of runes that emitted blazing light.
Boom boom~
Dozens of red flaming light bombs were fired, accurately hitting the evil spirits that came over and igniting them one by one!
"Scared... ah!"
They howled and fell to the ground.
The black mist lingering on the body was burned by the flames, and the ominous aura of the spirit body melted quickly like ice and snow under the blazing sun.
Soon after, several evil spirits were wiped out in the flames.
Although more evil spirits appeared behind him, they still could not stop the flame bombs fired from the dozen or so runes in front of BBA.
"Beauty, you seem to be very used to this kind of scene."
Ren didn't even need to take action, he just followed her and hugged the Queen's thigh tightly.
"In the Kingdom of Shadows, there are such evil undead creatures. There are as many evil spirits and undead creatures as there are."
Scathach said calmly, she had killed so many of these things as the gatekeeper of the underworld for thousands of years.
"But killing for a long time must be boring, right?"
Ren sighed softly and stretched out a flat hand. The lines of the "Holy Flame Sword" were faintly visible between the muscles and skin of his arm.
The magic power condensed, and his fingers carved in the void in front of him.
A string of golden "Holy Seal of the Lord" emerged, and for a moment the mysterious light of the Holy and Divine God was so bright that it surged in all directions!
The light of the Holy Seal swept away, like the dawn of dawn, and the surrounding black mist dissipated directly!
Those evil spirits were illuminated by this sacred light, and the black smoke entangled on their bodies dissipated. Their expressions no longer distorted and gradually turned into peaceful ones, and their spiritual bodies disappeared together bathed in the holy light.
"The secret of the Holy Church?" Scathach's ruby eyes revealed a clear look, "It's really good for purifying spiritual bodies."
"Well, there are still many undead souls left in the Kingdom of Shadows, right?
Flowers are blooming in the underworld. In order to build it into an utopia as beautiful as the fairy land, the two of us will be very busy in the future. "
Ren said in a gentle tone, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
It's quite romantic to think about building or reshaping a small country with only two people and being with the woman you love.
A faint smile appeared on Scathach's face as white as ice and snow:
"While taking advantage of the mistress, I also think about taking over the Kingdom of Shadows as my own. Little devil, do you want to die?"
Before the man could answer, the action of purifying the undead had already alerted the guards.
Rumble~
The ground trembled and dust flew up. The stone sculptures placed on both sides shook off the accumulated dust on their bodies and transformed into stone figures with blue-gray stone skin and three meters high.
The first one to wake up was this kind of demon doll arranged here.
Ren's fingers condensed glittering golden particles and smiled at her:
"Don't pretend anymore? I thought you would at least blush after hearing my love words."
Bang!
The man takes aim and shoots.
A golden laser penetrated the chests of several stone men, and even exploded into red lotus-like flames on the wall behind them!
boom!
BBA also threw the magic gun in his hand hard, and the air let out a harsh roar. It turned into a bewitching bloody light and cut through the void, instantly piercing the chests of several stone men!
Rocks flying! One blow shattered its power core, and the magic gun turned back as if it had spirituality, and she raised her hand to grab it.
Her hair was flying, and she had a cold and arrogant look on her face: "Have you discovered it yet? I thought I could still tease you."
"Well, after all, the performance is a little overdone. You are the immortal Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows and the famous God Killer. What scene have you not seen in thousands of years?
He is usually cold and arrogant, but he is also able to flirt with heroes from all walks of life. Lao Si Ji is one, at least verbally.
Even if there are few people who are as bold as me, you are a little tempted, but you won't be so shy that you are teased repeatedly. "
Ren smiled indifferently, his fingers were in the shape of a gun, and the particles shone.
Biubiubiu～
The laser beam pierced the air, the explosion stirred up flames, and the laser gun accurately hit the heads of the attacking stone men one by one!
"Haha~"
Scathach showed a thrilling smile, which was unrestrained and bold, unlike the little girl's attitude before.
"Don't think too highly of me. If I have been alone for a thousand years, I will feel lonely too.
Most young people like you like Yu Jie and women with mature style.
But women cannot act too hungry or wanton, as this may scare you who still have some virginity complex left.
You want a woman to be sexy, attractive, mature, charming, and loyal to you... Haha, this is the mentality of you young people.
This also made my acting a bit hard. "
Renn: "..."
Shocked.
Be it Enchantress Morgan or Queen Scathach, there really is no fuel-efficient lamp.
After all, even a pig that has lived for thousands of years would have already become a spirit.
Are you surprised by the thousand-layer routine of the Queen of Shadow Kingdom?
BBA returned to his true nature, smiled coldly, pinched his chin with a white hand, and looked at his handsome features:
"Little man, remember, only first-class warriors can enter my boudoir, but no one has done it before.
My body has never been touched by a man. What, do you want to be the first to develop it? "
"cut."
Discovering that the prey was actually a female hunter in disguise, Ren snorted a little unhappily and grabbed her catkins, "Queen of emptiness, you are greedy for my body, you are despicable!"
Scathach: "..."
I really want to stab him.
There was some performance element before.
But she really made an exception and allowed him to take advantage of her. It could be said that she let him flirt with her casually. Even if he went a little too far, she tolerated it.
If she was dissatisfied or unfavorable, she would have killed someone long ago.
"However, once it was probably not all an act, it was my husband...ahem."
Seeing that she was looking like someone who wanted to kill someone, Ren stopped her in time.
That time she definitely broke through her guard and became shy, but not as exaggerated as she performed later, hehe...
Miso miso miso~
Ahead, a burst of sonorous and powerful footsteps sounded.
Xiaobing refused the dog food and was very disrespectful. He decisively disturbed this strange couple who were hunting or flirting with each other.
This is a group of solemn knights.
Unlike the knights of the Holy City, their originally shiny armors were covered with blood-red lines, and the rest became dark and dull, and each of them exuded a crazy and ominous magical aura!
Not like a knight, but like a group of bloodthirsty and brutal beasts.
This is a madness rune that can enhance their fighting power.
boom!
Renn fired a golden laser, and they instinctively raised their shields to block. The explosion only destroyed the first two knights.
Dozens of black knights charged with swords and shields, and the feeling of oppression was not small.
Ren wanted to increase the power of the laser between his fingers, but Queen Scathach smiled coldly and launched a charge with the magic gun in hand.
Like a phantom, he reached the front in the blink of an eye!
boom!
The scarlet spear stabbed, hitting the shield and setting off a surging air wave. It was almost as powerful as a dragon and an elephant. The few mad knights in the front row were suddenly lifted into the air like scarecrows!
The shadow of the gun flickered, and before the black knights landed, one of the BBA fired a core-piercing gun, killing them in the air!
Then she charged into the battle alone like the god of death in the dark night.
Poof!
Every spear pierced out was like a scarlet lightning strike. The magic spear was indestructible. Those solemn knights along the way either had their heads shot instantly, or their chests and armor were shattered and then were shot away!
Even if he raised his shield to block, he would be shot through the shield and nailed to the wall!
In less than half a minute, BBA killed dozens of mad black knights with the force of thunder. Cracks appeared on the surrounding walls under the raging gun light...
Wearing a tight-fitting garment, she stood in the middle of the scattered knights, her body slowly disappearing, and she glanced back:
"All the trash fish have been cleaned up, let's go!"
"Amazing and amazing, you are worthy of being my woman." Master Ren admired and followed her.
This group of crazy black knights still has something.
Although BBA can kill easily, those second-rate heroic spirits with weaker martial arts might not be able to escape within half an hour.
The two quickly broke into the center of the dungeon.
With the "Delusion-breaking Eye" perspective lock, Renn and Scathach basically did not take any detours, and first found a prisoner's cell.
The new disciple of Master Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty in the East is Touta Tao.
Of course, it doesn't look like this man is in jail.
When Ren and Scathach found their target, the target didn't feel restrained at all. He was lying on the straw in the cell with his legs crossed and a leisurely expression.
"Well, who are you two?"
When seeing the two of them, the heroic spirit with green hair and wearing typical Japanese ancient attire looked a little surprised.
Renn smiled politely and introduced:
"I am the Lord of the Demon Realm and the King of the Kingdom of Shadows—Ren Ackerman. That person over there is my beloved wife."
Finding that the two uninvited guests were not hostile and were not members of the round table, the Japanese hero turned over and stood up.
"Hello, King of the Kingdom of Shadows, and Mrs. Ackerman, I am..."
Yawning lazily, Odota greeted Ren and Scathach with a hearty smile on his face.
Although he was in a cell, his posture was like that of a landowner greeting guests.
Mrs. Ackerman?
Renn chuckled a few times, his expression extremely proud.
This title challenged BBA's bottom line too much. Her pretty face turned red and then white, and she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard.
This hurtful Ren took a breath of cold air, but her face was frosty:
"I am the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, and I am not his wife!"
Even if it is in the future, at least it is not now. The queen's inner pride and reserve do not allow her to fall so quickly.
So who is the king of the Kingdom of Shadows? The flirting looks very much like a couple at odds...
This scene left Tatou Tai a little confused. He was always used to controlling the rhythm of conversations and was not used to this:
"Uh... Well, what's the point of those two coming here? They can't be here to eat in prison, right?"
Damn, I'm in jail too.
This young couple actually came here to show off their affection. What kind of mentality do they have.
"I'm here to save people. Right now, the people of the mountain, the Egyptian side and the Holy City... You don't want to stay here and be in jail."
Ren spoke very quickly about the current situation.
He knows the other person will make the right choice.
Touta Touta, also known as Hidego Fujiwara, was a famous military commander in Japan during the Heian period. He was good at martial arts and was by no means a brainless person.
In fact, judging from his attitude, this person has a relatively strong personality and is used to taking the initiative in conversations.
But because of his forthright and unpretentious temper, his slight strength will not make others dislike him.
"Then let's go together."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Tatouta faintly noticed the invisible sense of oppression emanating from the two of them, and quickly made a decision.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, these two people seem to be better than him.
And──
Who in their right mind wants to stay in jail?
Even if no one comes to rob the prison, he will still try to escape.
"Well, Your Excellency, Mr. Tatou Tatou, while you were here, have you ever heard of a heroic spirit named 'Quiet' Hassan?"
Ren got straight to the point and asked him for information about Quiet Hassan.
Watota scratched his head and said hesitantly:
"I don't know who Silent Hassan you are talking about, but there is indeed a beautiful girl who is imprisoned in a single cell in the deepest part of the dungeon. Several knights will torture her severely every day."
"Torture?"
Scathach frowned and said a little unhappy: "Torturing a young girl to extract a confession, is this considered a knight's practice?"
"They stopped talking about chivalry a long time ago."
Ren said calmly, "Sir, could you please help us lead the way? That girl is one of our allies."
"No problem. I don't like torture of young girls to extract confessions."
Archer Touta moved his strong right arm that was exposed outside the costume, and used his magic weapon to reveal his Noble Phantasm Longbow──"Hachiman's Prayer: Daiyou Shoten"!
"It just so happens that after being locked up for so long, I also plan to give some repayment to the knights here. You two come with me."
This archer looks like a passerby, but his strength is not weak at all.
Back then, he was also a figure who slayed demons and left behind many legends.
He was commissioned by the Dragon God to get rid of a giant centipede, and also accomplished the feat of killing the immortal demon Taira Shomon. He was a top-notch military commander in Japan's Heian period.
Touta Touta led the way. "Quiet" Hassan's detention place was more secluded and more tightly guarded than where he was.
Although this archer is stronger, he is not a key figure in the three camps, and the knights have not completely turned against Xuanzang Sanzang, so his treatment is not bad.
But Serenity Hassan is different.
As one of the leaders of the Mountain People's camp, she knows the detailed locations of all the Mountain People's villages and lurking military camps everywhere, which is valuable for detention and torture.
When they broke into the deepest part of the dungeon, there were 12 soldiers standing densely at the door of the small cell.
"Enemy attack!"
When they saw the three approaching, the soldiers of the Knights shouted a warning.
A dozen of them reacted very quickly. While 10 people formed a formation to attack three people, they asked two people to sound the alarm.
The magical aura on these solemn knights is also obviously stronger than those encountered before.
Phew!
Toutata drew his bowstring to full length and fired arrows in rapid succession. Flowers of blood bloomed. In just one breath, the two knights who tried to sound the alarm were shot into a sieve!
Renne and Scathach even launched a direct charge.
'Soul Blade·Crescent Moon! '
The Demonic Sword Original Sin suddenly struck out, and with one slash, Ren's arc-shaped blue sword cut out a semicircle and swept across all directions!
Puff~
When they returned their swords, the five knights froze on the spot, blood gushed out from their necks, their eyes lost their luster and they fell to the ground.
At the same time, the magic spear in Scathach's hand also stabbed five other knights to death like a streak of blood.
Even a more advanced cannon fodder can't cope with the combined power of two top-notch martial arts heroes.
This is the edge of a god-killing sword and spear. If it is not a powerful enough heroic spirit, it will not be able to stop their progress.
"Amazing."
Touta put down his bow. He had a good eye and saw that the martial arts of this man and woman were astonishing.
No wonder they came together, they were a perfect match.
After getting rid of the guards, the three of them broke into the cell directly.
The light inside was slightly dim, and a brown-skinned girl with scars all over her body was tied with chains to an iron frame on the wall.
