Naturally, the group of "robbers" did not sit still and wait for death.
They just retreated and fought, trying to mount their horses and escape.
Although they are obviously afraid of Annan, it does not mean that they will be timid and surrender.
These mercenaries know very well.
They were able to disguise themselves as robbers and enter the port to plunder openly because Viscount Roseburg guaranteed them.
The Viscount can guarantee that they will not be hunted down by official forces or attacked by the army.
In this way, the militia of a small town has nothing to fear.
After the trade with the Principality of Winter was banned, the Frozen Water Port was nothing more than an empty shelf. It just looked very large and spectacular. But not to mention that there were no troops stationed there, no wizards, bishops and scholars, not even a single person.
There is no extraordinary person who can protect the mayor.
Even the residents of Frozen Water Port have almost left... The young, strong and dreamy men have long gone with the caravans to the big cities in the interior. The residents who stay here are less than one-fifth of what they were at their peak.
one.
These mercenaries would naturally not be afraid of fighting against these township militiamen. Even bronze-level extraordinary beings would be hit by lead bullets if they were careless.
Each of them also has a horse. Even if they can't fight, they can at least run.
...However, if they were really accidentally killed and caught, the Viscount would definitely not come to save them, let alone conflict with Don Juan for their lives.
Not only would he not come to rescue people, the Viscount would even immediately angrily rebuke these bandits and try to cut off all contact with them. Then he would ask Frozen Water Port to execute them immediately or send them to Fort Ross for execution.
The Viscount warned them of these consequences before they set off.
——It can only succeed, not fail.
...but that's what I said.
But they didn't dare to kill Don Juan at all.
They are not real robbers after all.
If they were really desperate and became robbers, they would naturally act with an air of unscrupulous ferocity... But they are not.
Looking at the charging "Don Juan Geraint", it was clear whether they were fighting or not.
Several mercenaries with the best swordsmanship quickly drew their swords from their waists and prepared to defend with all their strength. It was best to contain Don Juan here.
Others joined forces to fight against the militiamen, defeating them as soon as possible and then looking for opportunities to escape.
They are not afraid of wizards, but they are afraid of Annan's current identity.
——A young man with black hair, blue eyes, and magic skills.
This is the most famous feature of the third young master of the Crow Family. Even without looking at the badge on his body, one can easily recognize his identity.
If they accidentally kill Don Juan, the next step will not be as simple as the threat of a viscount!
That's the crow's house!
They would rather provoke a border marquis than that vicious old crow...
"His grandma's fault, we must have been deceived by that old man!"
One of them couldn't help but curse: "Didn't he say that the boy from the Crow family was halfway..."
"Joel!"
The mercenary leader immediately raised his voice to warn.
But Annan really heard those words.
He opened his eyes slightly, and his ice-blue pupils flashed with an emotionless light.
"...Ah, I heard it."
He whispered: "You seem to know something."
Upon seeing this, the group of mercenaries quickly shut up and stopped talking, but the offensive in their hands became a little more fierce.
Annan made up his mind.
——You have to catch him alive.
It's not out of anger, let alone hatred - after all, he and Don Juan are not the same person.
It's just...the opportunity has come.
An opportunity to truly make up for the holes in his identity and temporarily become "Don Juan".
He does not need to use this identity to get into the upper echelons of the kingdom. After all, he actually looks different from Don Juan. Anyone who is an acquaintance of Don Juan will definitely recognize him.
He just planned to use Don Juan's identity to collect information.
After all, if he had no identity and started as a civilian, he would not be able to access many secret things. But the identity of a lord is safe enough and his status is high enough.
He must investigate as soon as possible why "Annan" appeared alone on the beaches of neighboring countries - even enemy countries? Even his weapons were missing, and he had no life-saving equipment at all...
And it's in a residual health state.
Even Don Juan, an unpopular son of a count, had a lot of treasures on him and was assigned a lot of bodyguards.
He is the son of the Grand Duke.
Therefore, Annan must consider a possibility... that is, he may have been assassinated before, so he crossed the inland sea and fled to the frozen water port on the other side. If he turned around and returned to the Principality of Winter, it was very likely that he would
Die directly.
Who is the person who wants to kill me? Is it the Grand Duke? Is it his brother? Is it someone who is an enemy of the Grand Duke? Or someone else?
Is there any problem with the Grand Duke? What is the situation inside the Principality?
Annan must at least investigate the situation clearly, know who his enemy is, and then find some players who can defeat the opponent to protect him... in order to regain his original identity.
Until then, he can only live in the skin of Don Juan, a matryoshka doll.
Although the situation of Annan and Don Juan is not very good.
But there must be a big gap between the power to hunt down the earl's son and the power to hunt down the heir to the duchy. You can even think about it with your knees...
Fortunately, these mercenaries know something.
Annan didn't even have to pull any useful information out of their mouths.
All he needed to do was convince the people in Frozen Water Port that he was attacked on the way here.
A drastic change in temperament? This is so normal. Were you stimulated after being attacked just now?
It's normal that he doesn't have all his belongings. After all, someone attacked him.
Lack of etiquette? This is very normal. After all, he just had a life and death crisis and was in a bad mood.
In short, as long as they were convinced that the "Don Juan Geraint" was attacked and then saw the ship, no matter what strange behavior Annan made, it would be understandable.
so--
"I'm going to get serious, my friend."
Annan saw that the militia group had been killed and was beginning to collapse, so he turned around and said politely to the three mercenaries who were blocking him: "Don't let yourself go.
"Otherwise you might die...that would be bad."
He chuckled.
I roughly figured out their strength.
Their level is not even level three in swordsmanship...and their strength is even smaller than that of a child like Annan.
And the three people in front of him have almost collapsed——
They really didn’t let the water go!
Wasn't Don Juan Geraint a wizard?
Why is his guard swordsmanship so gorgeous and steady? There is no flaw at all, just like a royal guard who has been practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years...
But Annan did not give them a chance to adjust their status.
He suddenly struck with all his strength.
The delicate sword edge flashed with a cold light.
His pace suddenly quickened a bit.
The blade of the sword calmly struck the mercenary's sword edge on the right with a subtle arc, deflecting his attack.
Then the sword was as fast as thunder and lightning, and it quickly slashed towards the opponent's wrist.
Blood bursts out.
His hand tendons were cut off directly by Annan, and his entire wrist was cut in half. He screamed and fell to the ground.
Annan did not continue to attack him, but charged at the other two people again.
After one less person besieged him, Annan's combat effectiveness immediately more than doubled. He defended against the attacks of two people at the same time, and found an opportunity in less than three rounds.
He suddenly took a step forward and slashed out a horizontal sword.
The sharp and blood-stained sword light drew a perfect arc in the air, slitting a person's throat directly.
At this moment, Annan was suddenly stunned.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and blocked the other person's attack.
Because the moment he cut off the man's neck, a curtain of light flashed before his eyes:
[Kill levelless enemies in battle and gain 15 public experience points]
Annan was silent for a while, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
His aura quickly changed, his eyes were cold and fanatical, making people feel a strong sense of fear at a glance.
