Early the next morning, after replenishing equipment, Aranza set off again with Cyril and Dolores, avoiding the three knights in the middle and looking for another team composed of mages and knights.
They found the team's whereabouts at dusk and launched the attack at night. The process went smoothly. Dolores easily shot and killed the mounts of the mage and knight, and successfully prevented them from sending messages to their companions.
It's just that the knights in this team were obviously not as reckless and overconfident as Clark. His caution prevented Cyril's sneak attack from killing him in one hit. Instead, he was counterattacked by the opponent and suffered some injuries.
Then, Aranza and the knight faced off. The tenth-level warrior could already use some combat skills, which made it difficult for Aranza to cope with it. In the end of the battle, Aranza had to pay the price of serious injuries, which exposed the knight's flaws.
, and then Cyril launched another sneak attack.
Fortunately, the second sneak attack did not fail.
Aranza stood up unsteadily, the wound on his abdomen pierced by the knight's spear glowing with blood in the night. He tried to step forward, but all he saw was darkness.
A long silence.
He thought again of the night after leaving the Desecrator's ruins, and his father's memory kept replaying in his mind.
In the deep dusk, the man who was as calm as a mountain stood alone in front of endless enemies. They were roaring and roaring, but in his eyes, there was only the bright and peaceful moon in the distance.
Raise your hand and swing your sword.
Tearing the crescent moon.
Aranza remembered this sword.
When Aranza opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Jessi's fair face, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her long fiery red hair fell on his forehead.
The hot sunlight rippled slightly through the tent.
"Are you awake?"
"Yeah." Aranza looked up at her abdomen. The wound had healed, leaving only a small, inconspicuous scar.
"Hmph, I told you to take Silas with you earlier, okay this time? Ifei has already used magic on you, but if you want to fully recover, you still need to rest for a few days."
"Well, if I take Silas with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to live without him in the future," Aranza said, struggling to hold up his upper body. The wound on his abdomen was still aching, and he had to breathe for a while before continuing,
"By the way, how is Cyril?"
Jiexi looked at Aranza helplessly, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help cursing: "She's fine! It's you who deserve it!"
The news of Aranza's awakening quickly spread among the Thorn Mercenary Group. Except for Yvette, who was busy making smart weapons, the others came to visit him and gathered in Aranza's small tent to discuss how to deal with the last one.
Three enemies.
They decided to take the initiative to fight the enemy. Of course, Aranza was not involved in this mission.
"Haha, Captain, my unrestrained pillar will fight. You have a good rest here!" Karu joked when he saw that Aranza was fine.
Aranza nodded. In this mission, even if Cyril is slightly injured, he will not go out.
So, early the next morning, Jie Xi led the team and set out. The enemy was not far away. Jie Xi set up traces of bonfires and tents on the roadside to lure the enemy away from their temporary base and into an ambush.
The two suns baked the earth mercilessly, and wisps of steam overflowed from the ground, distorting everything in sight. The three knights ran quickly among the sand and stones, and they found the source of the bonfire behind a leeward stone.
Moreover, the bonfire had just been extinguished. After determining the direction, they immediately pursued it non-stop.
They crushed the milky white sign for communication at the first time, but got no response. The leading female knight immediately decided to pursue it with all her strength. There was no message, which proved that the other two teams were probably killed, but the female knight believed that the other party was also impossible.
Intact, she wanted to catch them off guard while they were breathing.
She knew the members of the Thorns Mercenary Group. In her estimation, Aranza and the others could not easily kill a level 10 mage, a level 10 warrior and two high-level monsters. Moreover, the Thorns Mercenary Group
They probably haven't heard of their arrival yet, and meeting the other two teams should be a coincidence. Therefore, even though they havetily accepted the battle, with Aranza and Karu's bellicose personalities, they will definitely fight to the death. Now, the members of the Thorn Mercenary Group
Most of them were injured.
She didn't realize that Jie Xi's financial resources could overwhelm her opponents.
He also didn't realize that the elite team sent by the family would make mistakes in judgment.
She has always insisted on being right, but sometimes she will inadvertently mistake mistakes for being right, and continue to make mistakes one after another, eventually becoming a stick to mistakes.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and an arrow cut through the sunlight. This was also an arrow enchanted with "sharp" and "explosive", but its target was not the monster that the knight stepped on, but the knight himself.
The knight reacted quickly, shouted loudly, and moved away from his vital parts. However, the enchanted arrow still shot into his arm, and the originally hard black crystal armor became fragile. Then, with a loud noise, the knight's arm was exploded.
Turned into diffuse minced meat.
"Who?!" The female knight reined in her horse, looked around at the rocks, and shouted loudly.
The clear laughter recalled that Jie Xi walked out from behind a boulder, the gemstone staff in her hand glowed with light, and two level 10 fantasy beasts - giant flaming wolves, followed Jie Xi step by step.
She confidently stretched out her hand to pull through her fiery red hair and said with a smile: "Your Excellency tracked me here, how could you not know who I am?"
The golden lion head mask hid the face of the female knight. She faced Jiexi, put her right hand on her chest, and said: "In the name of Ryan's glory, I am here to rectify the law for you!"
"That's not a bad tone!" Jie Xi waved her staff forward and ordered, "Attack!"
"Ouch——!"
The wolf howled, and the sand and stones in front of Jie Xi shook. Silas broke out of the ground, leading two other giant flaming wolves, and charged towards the three knights.
"Pick up the gun!" Not to be outdone, the female knight issued the order, and the other two knights raised the gun with her. The knight with a broken arm seemed to be unaware of the pain, and the three knights charged with their guns.
"Bang!"
The sand and stones rolled, and huge collision sounds were heard one after another. Silas easily bit off the neck of the female knight's horse, and threw the female knight to the ground with a flick of the wolf's head. However, the battle situation on both sides was not clear.
The giant flaming wolf of the Arm Knight was still in good condition, but the other giant flaming wolf was directly knocked down by the opponent's black-scaled lion, and then the knight's spear pierced its head.
"Haha, look at my unrestrained pillars!"
At this time, Karu roared and rushed out from behind the boulder on one side, pounced on the female knight who fell to the ground, the big pillar suddenly hit the ground, the "earthquake" enchantment was activated, and the violent vibration made the female knight unable to stand up for a moment.
Silas was just about to pounce on the female knight, but he keenly felt the sound of breaking wind behind him. The knight who defeated the flaming wolf stabbed it with his spear. Silas decisively sidestepped to get rid of the blow.
The battle quickly divided into three small circles, with Jexi controlling a flaming wolf against the Broken Arm Knight, Silas against another knight, and Karu against the female knight.
Jie Xi once again tore open a summoning scroll, but it turned out to be a digging rat.
The knight with a broken arm was fighting with the giant flaming wolf. In fact, it was the black-scaled lion that the knight was riding that was fighting with the giant flaming wolf. Because of his arm, the knight could only attack the giant wolf at every opportunity, but the effect was not obvious.
Although the black-scaled lion has adequate defense, its fire resistance is slightly poor, and it gradually shows a disadvantage under the flames of the summoned beast.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the digging rat rushed out from under the black-scaled lion. The black-scaled lion roared and slapped its claws down angrily. It cracked the digging rat's body on the spot, but its entire body also fell into the sand pit and could not move.
No. The flaming giant wolf on the opposite side suddenly attacked fiercely and rushed towards the black-scaled lion regardless of its own safety. The flames on its body suddenly shot up and bit into the black-scaled lion's neck.
The flames instantly spread to the body of the black-scaled lion, and the black-scaled lion was destined to be burned to death. The knight with the broken arm also wailed, and the flames also covered his body. The desperate knight could only stab the flaming giant wolf with his knight spear,
But he found that the other party had already turned into a thick fire element, which filled the air around him.
Jexi sat down on the ground, panting heavily. The brief battle left her exhausted.
The other two battles were very stalemate. Although Karu had new enchantments, and Ifei kept casting healing spells on him, he should be able to quickly defeat his opponent. Unexpectedly, the female knight actually had three kinds of enchantments, and the two were evenly matched.
Although Silas is a high-level monster, it has to fight against another high-level monster and a level 10 knight. The fight is quite difficult. Dolores has tried her best to support it, but the opponent has already noticed the existence of the archer.
Dolores's attacks failed again and again, and she could only ensure that auxiliary Silas would not fall into defeat.
"Hello!"
Jie Xi shouted loudly, which was actually giving herself time to breathe: "Let me tell you, I seem to have seen your fighting style somewhere before. Who are you?!"
Hearing this, the female knight retreated, wanting to take a break for herself. Karu did not pursue her, but blocked her in front of Effie to prevent any accidents.
"Of course you have seen me, Miss Jiexi." The female knight's voice suddenly changed, becoming quiet and gentle, like the tone of voice of a maid in the palace. But when the note fell into everyone's ears, it was like thunder.
Sure enough, when the female knight took off her helmet, Jie Xi couldn't help but exclaimed.
