Elio took care of the horses as usual and observed the people coming from the west side from the avenue; he sat outside the tent and drew the scenery in front of him at will. In the evening of that day, slightly far away from the 'enemy camp', Bell and he
The five 'men' met them again.
"But I'm exhausted." Bell sat down on the ground and muttered in a low voice, "It's not a big deal if someone chases a horse. Don't tell me that I'm still a Bellon."
Five imperial sergeants stood in front of An, seeming to be waiting for her next instructions. An met their eyes one after another, without any new gains, but she believed in the judgment she made.
She lowered her head, quickly wrote a line of words, beckoned Bell to come closer, and then turned the book over.
"Suppress them, but don't kill them."
Bell's eyes widened. Before he could respond, Elio had already raised his sheathed sword and rushed towards the man closest to him.
"Don't be stunned, Bell!" The young knight raised his sword high above his head and slashed down on his opponent's right shoulder, "Listen to An, now!"
The male 'remnant' reacted faster than the Beron people, pulled out the short sword and dagger from his waist, and tried to parry the young knight's blow. Unfortunately, he underestimated the young man's strength, and the long sword easily broke through the two sharp blades.
He hit the arm holding the sword in the middle. With a crisp sound, the arm folded at a strange angle, and the dagger came out of his hand, spinning and falling to the side.
The other four people started to move at the same time. 'Ike Smith', who had thanked Ann, drew out his long sword and rushed towards the girl from Bell's side. The strongest man swung his war hammer and hit Bell's back. The remaining two people quickly retreated,
While taking off the light crossbow from his waist, he aimed at Elio and An.
An tried her best to retreat to the side, but her speed was much slower than the enemy. The sword-wielding warrior approached her in the blink of an eye. Instead of swinging the weapon, he raised his hand to grab her throat——
However, something long and narrow suddenly slapped him in the face, knocking his head to the side. The next moment, the young man roared and rushed over, kicked the man on the waist, and made him fly to the ground.
A few meters away.
An reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. She saw Bell dodged the hammer in embarrassment, turned over and jumped up with a curse, and pulled out a huge scimitar from behind; on the other hand, holding up a light
The two people holding the crossbow stopped retreating, and the crossbow strings made a soft sound at the same time.
She couldn't distinguish the flying crossbow arrows or Elio's movements. In the blink of an eye, the boy stood directly in front of her, his arms resting on his chest in a strange posture; almost at the same time, two sharp short arrows fired.
Submerged in the boy's arms, the tail feathers were still trembling slightly.
The girl took a breath of cold air and involuntarily hugged her arms tightly. But she immediately saw that Elio easily pulled out the arrow from his arm, threw it aside, and then picked up the long sword that fell beside him.
"You can't defeat me!" The young man raised his sheathed weapon and ran towards the two people who were loading the light crossbow. "For Miss An, charge!"
The battle soon came to an end. The man wielding the warhammer was two heads taller than Bell, but the Beron man quickly knocked the weapon off with the back of his knife, and then flipped him to the ground with his bare hands. Thanks to the blessing of fighting with Lily all day long, Bell
His hand-to-hand fighting skills were not bad. The soldier with the injured right arm tried hard to throw the dagger at Elio, but the young man easily dodged it, and then broke off the other arm with a sword. The two men who shot at An realized that there was no chance of winning, so they simply threw it away.
He lowered his crossbow and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Elio took out the rope from his backpack and tied the hands of several 'enemies' behind their backs one after another. Bell muttered and kicked the man next to him twice before stopping under the girl's gaze.
Anping calmed down her slightly rapid breathing and walked to Elio's side. She rolled up the boy's sleeves and saw the two wounds that were no longer bleeding, and gave him a worried look.
"It's okay, An! I am a man who has defeated the black dragon, how could I fall here!" The young man was still full of energy, "Leave me alone, isn't there a next step?"
How could he ignore it, the girl thought. But fortunately Elio was fine. Her previous guess was correct. The contract between the young man and the green dragon was still there. She walked towards the five "remnant soldiers" lined up in a row and stopped at "Ike"
'——In front of what seems to be the leader of this team.
"You know the person who captured Elena, right?" She knelt down and wrote, "It wasn't Bell who met you, but you took the initiative to find him."
The man had just woken up. The right side of his face was swollen so much that he was a little slurred in speech, "That's right."
"Who is your 'leader', and why did you ambush Elena and the others?"
"Russell...General Kylo Russell. That kid is so cruel." The man coughed twice, puffed his cheeks, and spat out blood-streaked saliva, "Don't ask me why. I got the order.
It’s to find Bell and bring him back to the camp... and try not to use force. That’s it.”
Unlike Arthur Bright, this name was very familiar to Ann. In the history of her time, this officer led tens of thousands of refugees to leave the center of the war and settle on the south side of the Forest of Parting. The initial establishment of the sudden
At least one-third of the people in the Kingdom of Lun were attracted by this imperial soldier - directly or indirectly.
Obviously, the current situation is still different from 'history'. However, according to the records in the book, Simon Russell was a kind and wise general, which made An's heart drop again. She calmed down and picked up the pen again.
.
"Sorry for being rude. I need to replace the two friends you took away. Please don't resist, and I won't hurt you."
"Well, I was actually fooled by a little girl. I will probably be scolded by the general." The man who called himself a hunter before and held a light crossbow glanced at her and shrugged, "I'm a little curious, how did you recognize it?
our?"
"It's too troublesome to write, but I think General Russell can tell you the reason." An pursed her lips and wrote with a bit of evil intention.
Bell finally figured out the situation and glared at his 'men' with dissatisfaction. "Thank you for my kindness in helping you." He muttered, "You must be laughing at me behind my back!"
"That's not necessarily the case." Elio answered half-seriously, "If you don't 'cooperate' properly, I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly - the same goes for them."
An agreed with Elio's words in her heart, and suddenly remembered a trivial matter. "Last question, is that innkeeper one of yours, too?"
"Correct answer." The female crossbowman on the far right raised her eyebrows, "The original shop owner left long ago. Raiden was injured before, so he stayed there as a liaison." She curled her lips, "He did
The stew is still so unpalatable.”
It seemed that she was worried about the other party's safety in vain, although the result was not bad. An stood up, exhaled, and put the written notebook in front of Elio.
"Let's go, please be careful before doing something dangerous next time. And... thank you."
