The marching team diverged for a moment with this roar, and then changed dramatically as the accompanying troops in front split up. Some of the imperial infantry who were originally walking side by side approached the rose-colored vehicle. The carriages on the left and right took the lead in protecting the most distinguished royal family members in the convoy. More and more imperial cavalry then broke away from the edge of the convoy, which had begun to set up defensive formations, and began to advance towards the depths of the wilderness in front of them. As they moved forward, the light of magic began to shroud the sky above the convoy. At the same time, Also reflected were the shining figures of three or two imperial royal magicians who were setting up defensive formations.
Everything happened so fast that only after these scenes appeared did the other nobles scream. At this time, the accompanying players, including Duan Qing and others, also reacted to the shouts that sounded before. The meaning contained in the sound has its own reaction.
"Enemy, enemy attack?"
"This team was actually attacked? Is it true? This is the royal investigation team!"
"We have just left the city less than three kilometers! The enemy has already attacked the door? Who is so bold?"
"By the way, speaking of...it seems that those heinous criminals who attacked the Thebilis Castle haven't been caught yet. Could it be them?"
"...It won't come true like this."
Duan Qing, who was also standing at the top of the carriage and at the very back of the entire motorcade, sighed helplessly: "I just set off a random firework, why did it suddenly turn out like this?"
"It seems that you are indeed a spy who has infiltrated our army." He said this as a joke. Xueling Huanbing on the side chuckled and flicked Duan Qing's head: "Did you see that? You won't do it again." You must never experiment with magic again."
"Can you see the enemy's appearance clearly?" Duan Qing put the magician disk in his arms, shook his head, and then assumed a gaze-gazing posture: "Dare you come to attack this convoy at this time... …I am also very interested in their identities.”
"It sounds nice, but actually I still want to get rid of my own suspicion." Crossing his arms and pouting, Xue Ling Huan Bing then couldn't help but cast his eyes on the flying dust deep in the wilderness: "But ...Well, it does seem like someone is rushing towards here. Because there is no cover in the wilderness, the speed is also increased to the extreme..."
"What should we do, sir?"
With her hands folded and placed in front of her abdomen, the figure belonging to Ningyu Ninglan then appeared behind Duan Qing with her calm voice: "Do you need Ninglan to go and conduct reconnaissance?"
"There's no need for reconnaissance or anything like that. Someone has already done it."
Looking around the area where he was, Duan Qing calmly waved his arm: "Besides, the Imperial Army's actions look very professional, so it shouldn't be our turn to take action."
"Compared with the principality, the Frey Empire's troops have much more combat experience." At some point, he and Asahi Dongsheng rushed back to the carriage. Gedman, who was also looking at this sudden abnormality, then issued a few words. He laughed softly: "Judging from the current situation, even if people from the principality really come to attack, the final result may not be that they get benefits."
"Don't say such things, it can easily be misunderstood." Duan Qing said helplessly as he returned the other party's words: "I don't want to really see that the attackers are from the principality, even though they can hit them with their ability. The possibility of this place is slim, but if it really is them..."
"I'm afraid war has become an inevitable reality."
His tone gradually became serious, and his eyes fell on the dusty horizon in front of him again. The faint shouts and shouts of death gradually became more obvious as the sound of horse hooves approached, and they were different from each other. Accompanied by this are more and more black dot-like figures appearing in different directions. Taking a slight breath of cold air, Duan Qing's focus of sight also focused on the gradually enlarging black spots. The thought of turning around and asking just now was interrupted by a sudden sound in his ear. The voice interrupted, and along with it, the clear figure of a woman named Maggie appeared in front of him: "Quick! Let's go!"
"...Huh? What's wrong?"
"No time to explain!"
Maggie, who seemed to have blood stains on her face and her black clothes seemed to be torn, shouted anxiously to the surrounding members of the adventure group: "Their target is you! Run quickly, quickly -"
"——"
Duan Qing could no longer hear the next sound, and a sudden rise of black mist surrounded him, covering all the figures around him and the clear sky. The dim light was accompanied by layers of dark clouds that shrouded the head of the gray-robed magician. Accompanied by it, there were the whistling sounds of cold wind like winter blowing past him. The originally barren ground seemed to have also... As the cold wind blew by, it became darker, and even deep cracked ravines appeared in front of him: "This is..."
"Welcome to my world."
A clear voice then echoed in Duan Qing's ears, bringing his slightly dazed gaze back to the situation in front of him: "You are members of the Qingling Adventure Group, right? Please allow me to introduce myself."
"I am Ivost, a member of the Destiny Alliance."
The invisible black mist continued to billow in front of Duan Qing, and a young man with middle-parted hair appeared in front of him. The noble gentleman-like man in a black dress then gently moved toward Duan Qing. He saluted, and then whispered with a smile on his face: "Nice to meet you, the little ones who are about to die at my hands."
"……who is he?"
In the strange sight of this carriage, the whole world seemed to be gone. Asahi Dongsheng, who hurriedly gathered next to the others, asked in a low voice with a wary look on his face: "Are you acquaintances with this distinguished guest?"
"I do recognize the name Ivorster."
Duan Qing said this with a wry smile. Duan Qing, who did not assume a fighting posture, then jumped down from the roof of the car as if he had given up on escaping: "But that happened in a previous life. Does he really recognize me now?" Hard to say."
"I don't know if he knows you, but he must know me."
The voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing then sounded from behind him, accompanied by the serious look of the white-haired figure looking over Duan Qing's shoulder: "Hey, are you here to find me?"
"No, no, no, I'm not here to find you."
A faint black energy swayed around Ivost, slowly lowering his floating salute to the ground: "But -"
"It's not a waste of time for me to deal with you, the traitor, on the way, is it?"
The movement of raising the sword suddenly appeared in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and at the same time, the young man in black slowly raised his hand, and an extremely subtle black track was followed by the young man in black. The finger came out and passed straight through the shoulder of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was unable to defend himself.
"Do you really think we can't handle you?"
In the scene where there was a sudden shout of surprise and a large amount of blood splashed in the air, a chuckle belonging to Ivost then sounded in the ears of the players who hurriedly stood in front of him: "From the beginning of the Magic Empire." You are on the run, and you are going around sabotaging our plans... Do you really think that the success of these actions is a sign that there is nothing we can do against you?"
"Indeed, she became your companion during the previous period."
Holding Xue Ling Huan Bing's body lying on the ground, Duan Qing, whose side was also spattered with blood, gritted his teeth and replied: "But that's not her own wish, right? Her own wish was later used by her in reality. Her actions have been shown, if you still use this method to retaliate against her——"
"No, no, you said it wrong."
Lifting up his other finger again, a strange smile appeared on Ivost's face: "This is not revenge at all. After all, it is only our children who are offended. She must die. The reason has another origin, and the most important point is——"
"She knows too much."
The ear-piercing scoff sounded again in everyone's ears, and along with it, a black trajectory faster than a bullet once again appeared on Ivost's fingertips, and the unidentifiable trajectory followed. The black tail light cut through the void and collided with the shield that Gedman raised instantly.
"drink!"
The huge kinetic energy wiped out a brilliant spark on the surface of the black dragon shield, splashing into the dark night sky with Gedman leaning back, and the comet giant ax belonging to the rising sun then passed over this. The shield warrior's original position, together with his loud shout, slashed towards the black young man's position: "Eat my axe!"
The imaginary metal collision sound did not appear in front of there, but was replaced by a harsh muffled sound. A shield made of bones then appeared next to Ivost, blocking this powerful and heavy blow. The ax cut was blocked: "A puny mortal, do you think you can really break through the bone shield I refined from an ancient beast?"
"It's just a bone shield, I don't know how many times it has been chopped into pieces!"
The contemptuous tone and eyes did not change Asahi Dongsheng's fear, but instead completely aroused his ferocity and impulse: "Try the power of my new weapon!"
"Charge a heavy blow!"
The rebounded giant ax made a medium-sized dent on the ground, and then waved a perfect arc again with Asahi Dongsheng's shout. The bone shield at the end of the arc followed. The faint fluorescence radiating from the surface of the giant ax once again caused unbearable harsh friction, and then exploded into pale white fragments all over the sky with the sound of bone cracking: "...what?"
"It's actually Metat's comet axe?"
Different from the calm posture of gently floating into the distance, Ivost, who had his hands behind his back and stabilized his face once again, had a look of surprise on his face: "Isn't this giant ax lost for a long time? Why - huh. "
The voice that wanted to continue speaking stopped in mid-air, and then was forced back by a dagger that appeared on the side of his neck. A look of shock and anger finally appeared on the face of the young man in black who turned around in mid-air. , waving around randomly with black energy like an iron chain: "It's you again! Maggie Salaka!"
"I will destroy your destiny, you who were supposed to be a sacrifice!"
Ignoring the other party's threat, Maggie, who had already disappeared from Duan Qing's side, was also spinning around the black chains, and the faint sound of metal collision followed this person like a ghost. The afterimages of the woman were heard one after another over the wilderness next to the carriage. Duan Qing exchanged a look with Anyu Ninglan who was on guard next to him. Duan Qing, who no longer paid attention to these scenes, then completely focused on Xue Ling Huan Bing's body. The unstoppable blood was also flowing with his help. The words that stopped flowing out from the shoulders of the white-haired woman, and the bright red that should have appeared now turned into a heart-stopping dark red: "This is..."
"This should be Ivost's fang."
Blood also overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was held in his arms, opened his eyes again with a gloomy look: "Ivost refined many ancient behemoths in the void, and used Their bodies are fighting, and what they sprayed out just now should be their fangs. Not only are they extremely fast, but they are also filled with powerful toxins..."
"Stop talking, let me see if there is any way to rescue him." Duan Qing, who interrupted the other party and frowned, began to check his belongings: "Although all the savings were taken away, But the alchemy materials that can be purchased are really limited. If you want to make an antidote potion——"
"I will not allow you to mix your experience points into it anymore. You are still at level zero now."
Holding down the opponent's hand that he wanted to take into his arms, Xue Ling Huan Bing shook his head with a dark expression: "I don't want to go to the void to save you again. It's too difficult for one person to complete such a perverted mission. , it’s just my life, it’s no big deal.”
"But the battle is not over yet, and over there in the Imperial Capital..."
"Well, returning to the imperial capital is really not a good choice at this time."
The sound of the fierce battle seemed to be getting farther and farther away from his hearing. Xueling Huanbing, who was about to lose consciousness, then opened his eyes as if he remembered something: "And he just... seemed to say... he My goal is you..."
After gritting his teeth, Xueling Huanbing spat out the black blood in his mouth: "That Ivost is cruel and scheming by nature. If he does anything to you again... that's fine, just Just think of it as continuing to finish this battle.”
"I'll detoxify myself."
She curled up the corners of her mouth, showing an ugly smile, and then used the brilliance of the blood ring on her finger to completely cover her body.
"Blood blooms!"
