Laila finally made a decision under Jiang Qiao's suggestion.
That is, he led a three-person elite team with Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan to track down the traces of the law thief.
Others returned to Brande Island to take the wounded to rest.
Laila did not intend to let those magic thieves go because of the power of the creatures on the island, because her pride did not allow her to return empty-handed this time.
If she returns to the battleship without even catching a single magic thief, as the eldest daughter of the Ferisi family... her reputation will not be completely lost, but she will also have the reputation of returning from a defeat.
At this stage, Laila has never failed in an imperial mission, and she will not allow herself to fail this time.
"I said you shouldn't be leading me this time with the intention of dying, right?"
Jiang Qiao followed Laila, and Laila's eyes became very scary from just now.
The outlook on life of these aliens is completely different from that of modern people on Blue Star. Laila is the type who values honor above her own life.
Jiang Qiao didn't understand this kind of person's outlook on life, so he didn't comment on it.
"This is just a reconnaissance mission." Laila swung her sword and chopped off a piece of grass blocking her path. "I want to find out where the magic thieves are hiding."
"Then what?" Jiang Qiao asked Laila about her next step, guiding her to hire holy spirits to help her hunt down those law thieves.
"I know what you are thinking, but it is my duty to catch those who steal the law."
Of course Laila saw through Jiang Qiao's thoughts. Although she had previously entrusted the Holy Spirits under Jiang Qiao to catch the law thieves, Laila still believed that it was her duty to arrest all those law thieves.
But the situation on Brande Island has deteriorated to the point where Laila's soldiers cannot cope with it. They are risking their lives by walking on Brande Island like this.
If she entrusted those Holy Spirits to assist her...it would undoubtedly be much easier.
"Oh." Jiang Qiao stopped persuading her. If someone else could take over his job and he could still fish, Jiang Qiao would be very happy.
Laila is the kind of person who feels ashamed because of this, but her shameful emotions will cost her subordinates their lives, so Laila is very confused now.
While Jiang Qiao was thinking this, a young soldier exploring the road in front raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to stop.
Laila stopped her steps and turned around, just as she was about to say something to Jiang Qiao, the fire spirit floating next to Jiang Qiao suddenly rushed towards Laila.
The scorching flames spread across the ground, making Laila's pupils widen. She did not expect that Jiang Qiao would suddenly attack her at this time.
But Laila was originally wary of Jiang Qiao. A ring on her hand burst into light, and the barrier formed by magic overflowed from Laila's body.
Laila didn't know whether this magic barrier could withstand Jiang Qiao's fire spirit's attack, but the fire spirit's target was not Laila, but the elite soldier behind Laila.
The fire spirit directly hit the soldier behind Laila, and the hot fire bloomed on the soldier, and then turned into several ropes and wrapped around the soldier.
Flame binding.
The field control skill, one of the four unique skills of the Fire Spirit, may be used on rough-skinned and fleshy monsters without pain or itching.
But this soldier was miserable. The moment the hot flames surrounded his body, the high temperature instantly turned his armor red. The flames made a sizzling sound on his body, and he could still vaguely smell the barbecue.
fragrance.
The poor soldier fell to the ground screaming in pain and kept shouting.
"You..." Just when Laila was about to accuse Jiang Qiao, she found the soldier's sword dropped on the ground and recalled what happened just a moment ago.
This elite soldier whom Laila trusted was about to raise his sword to stab Laila the moment she turned back. Jiang Qiao used the fire spirit to restrain him at this moment.
"It seems that there are quite a few young men in your team." Jiang Qiao gently grasped his right hand, and the soldier who fell on the ground let out a loud wail again.
After Jiang Qiao silenced the soldier, he looked towards the end of the forest in the distance.
"..." Laila raised the hilt of the sword in her hand and knocked out the soldier who was bound by Jiang Qiao's flame restraint.
Laila is not stupid and sweet like Hailan. She has realized that the soldiers under her command have betrayed her, but she cannot bear to see the soldiers who were once loyal to her being tortured by Jiang Qiao, so she has to use this method to relieve his pain.
.
Sure enough, after the soldier fainted, Jiang Qiao released the fire spirit's flame restraint, and the aroma of barbecue was still wafting in the air.
At this moment, applause suddenly sounded in the forest.
"You came faster than I expected, the eldest daughter of the Ferrisi family, but why did you only bring these people with you? Were all your soldiers eaten by monsters on the way?"
Suddenly, a man slowly walked out of the side of the forest to very slow applause. He was wearing prisoner's clothing. Behind the man, there were more than a dozen fugitives also wearing prisoner's clothing. Behind the man, there were also a group of fugitives who were also wearing prisoner's clothing.
An old man dressed in religious clothing.
"Dunhis! Damn it..."
Laila raised the sword in her hand and pointed it at the man. He was the most wanted criminal in the Sunshine Empire and the leader of the Law Thief Organization, Dunxis Pusien.
But what makes Laila feel a little weird is that...this man and this group of magic thieves seem to have been waiting for her for a long time.
Not only is she waiting for her, but also the soldiers under her command are chasing her.
As if...as if they were the hunters and Laila was the prey.
"Oh, little one, it looks like you haven't understood what happened yet? But you don't have to understand. It's better for children to go home and listen to fairy tales. But then only the goddess of death can tell you fairy tales."
The man named Dunhis announced all this in a sad voice. Laila was stunned for a while, but she understood what she understood instantly when she saw the... old man dressed in religious clothes standing next to the man.
"Bishop Senna, why are you here?" Laila asked a little uncontrollably.
The bishop closed his eyes with some pain, then turned his head and didn't want to look any more.
"Don't you understand? Little Sheep." Dunhis seemed to enjoy Lila's confused look.
"Uh... Do you need me as a professional commentator to appear at this time?"
Jiang Qiao watched for a long time. Laila was in authority so she couldn't understand it at all, but as a bystander, Jiang Qiao understood it at a glance.
"Explain what?" Laila looked out of control.
"It's not this soldier who betrayed you." Jiang Qiao pointed to the soldier on the ground who was knocked unconscious by Laila and said, "The person who betrayed you might be the entire Yaori Empire, or to be precise, some of the higher-ups in the Yaori Empire."
Jiang Qiao knew that with such huge energy on Brande Island, no human being could resist the temptation, let alone these high-ranking officials of the empire.
They must have thought of some way to harness the energy on Brande Island, and this method... requires living sacrifices.
Laila and her pursuer soldiers are living sacrifices!
