After Ivan left, Arthur continued to finish his breakfast calmly.
"So," Tristan said, "when can we go back? I don't want to stay in a small village like this all day."
"Wait a little longer." Arthur played with a piece of red dragon scales, "The evil star is still arguing about what happened yesterday, and he doesn't respond no matter how he calls... Or maybe he is too tired and is still sleeping.
maybe."
"How long do we have to wait?" Tristan said, "You just heard that there are assassins lurking outside the village ready to kill us. It is not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
"If they want to come, let them come. I'm planning to ask them about something," Arthur said.
"I'm a little worried about Lianyin who stays at home to look after me..." Bedivere muttered.
"The mechanical woman's magic power is so powerful that you don't need to worry about it." Tristan said coldly.
"That's enough. If you want to go back to the imperial capital from such a remote village, let me think about it------" Arthur thought, "Should we take a train?"
"Train? There seems to be a station in this village, but ---" Tristan asked suspiciously, "shouldn't you be busy preparing for the duel with Grand Duke Younes? It's really nice to take the train home so leisurely and slowly.
No problem?"
"I have other plans." Arthur said.
In a blink of an eye, everyone had already boarded the train's compartment. It was not a very big compartment, just big enough for four people.
"Does it take about five hours to get to London? Then won't it be noon when we get home?" Bediwell said.
Arthur looked thoughtfully at the scenery outside the window, "Don't think too much. Traveling is not just about arriving at the destination. Enjoying the scenery along the way is also fun."
"You are so leisurely." Tristan said, "You have already thought of a way to deal with Younes' contracted creature? Can you guess what it is?"
"No, I can't guess. But I have considered countermeasures to deal with those guys with high speed."
"Oh? What is it?"
"You will know when the time comes." Arthur said with a mysterious smile.
"Damn it, you're trying to sell things off again!?" Tristan said angrily.
Arthur wanted to say something else, but at this moment the surroundings became dark.
There seemed to be some kind of dark cloud-like thing outside the window, blocking the light. Arthur quickly closed the window, and those black things only ran in a little. Bedivere accidentally inhaled it, felt dizzy, and quickly covered his nose: "What?
What's going on? Is it an assassin?"
"Everyone, be careful." Arthur drew out his sword. Once the holy sword was held by Arthur, it emitted a faint golden light, illuminating the dark carriage.
"Guests, be careful, the Belen Bandits are here." The train guard ran over and warned.
"Beren Thieves Group?"
"Recently, bandits have always appeared on the train tracks to rob the road. Their leaders are best at using this kind of ecstasy smoke to charm the people on the train, and then take away the passengers' belongings." The guard said, "
There are gas masks under your seats, please put them on first."
Arthur and the others had already put on their gas masks.
"You must be... knights, right?" The guard looked at the armor on Arthur and the others, "We are an additional guard team specially sent by the Railway Bureau to deal with the Belen Bandits, but judging from the current number of people,
, the combat effectiveness is still not enough. If it is convenient for you, can you help repel the thieves together?"
"Okay." Arthur said, "But we are not philanthropists and we will not work in vain."
"Is the reward from the thieves group enough to pay your reward?" A middle-aged man came over and said.
"Chief of Guards?"
"You go and meet the guard group first, and I will negotiate here." The guard chief said.
"knew."
After the guard hurried away, the chief guard said, "I am Douglas, the captain of the train. Just call me Doug. I have been paying attention to you when you got on the train, Sir Arthur, the Knight of Heaven."
"Oh, Arthur has become so famous!" Tristan said, "The previous duel was broadcast live across the country, and it was quite effective."
"We'll talk about the polite words later, now let's talk about the important points." Arthur said coldly.
"The point is, those damn bandits are coming. Last time they killed many of my brothers and fled. This time I want to use your strength to destroy these pests." Doug said, "Their leader Bei
Lun, this is the guy using this enchanting smoke. I want his head."
"I'll give it a try." Arthur said, "Do you have a plan to catch them all?"
"This------" the guard chief came over and explained his plan to Arthur.
"I got it. Let's all split up." Arthur said, walking out of the carriage, "Bedi, you are here to protect Tovir."
"Oh." said the werewolf boy.
"Looking at you taking the train leisurely, you met bandits now." Tristan said.
"The result is the same. As long as the train doesn't stop, the time to arrive at the destination will not change. It's just a little more entertainment on the way." Arthur didn't care about the authenticity.
At the other end, in the rear compartment of the car, the thieves were holding passengers hostage while confronting the security group in the other car in front.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise I will kill all the hostages in this carriage!" said the leading bandit.
The guards slowly retreated while on alert, as if there was nothing they could do against the bandits.
"It's such a narrow space, there's no way we can save the hostages like this." Tristan observed the movement on the other side from the security group.
"Where is Lord Arthur?" the guard asked.
"That's a really good question. How do I know?" Tristan shrugged.
He stepped forward and performed a magic trick in front of the carriage door.
"What are you doing?!"
"Since no one has a solution, I will use my own method to do it." Tristan smiled mysteriously.
"Tell the people in your car to leave your belongings, and then you move back another car!" the bandits shouted.
"What a beautiful idea. Do you plan to take hostages and rob the carriages one by one?" Tristan said.
Some passengers in the car on the guard side had already escaped to the car farther forward, but the chief of guard came out and shouted: "Please protect the hostages and leave your belongings! The property lost due to robbery will be
The railway bureau is responsible for compensation!"
Although they were hesitant, but their lives were at stake, most of the passengers left their luggage and moved to the car in front.
"Let's retreat to the previous car." Tristan said, "Don't worry, this is the last car they can occupy."
"What's the meaning?"
"You'll understand in a moment." Tristan said, moving to the car in front.
The bandits entered this carriage while taking hostages. After they were completely inside, Tristan suddenly smiled slyly, put his hand on the ground, and then activated a magic trick.
In the bandits' carriage, dozens of magic traps had already been activated due to Tristan's inducement. The ice cubes quickly spread in the carriage, not only blocking the front and rear doors of the carriage, but also blocking the windows.
Airtight.
"What?! Boy, what are you doing?! Do you want us to kill all the hostages?! Unlock the magic!"
"Idiot, how can it be unlocked? This is an ice prison specially prepared for you. It will quickly take away your physical strength. Why don't you try killing the hostage? You can't even move a finger now!
"
Tristan talked a lot as if to show off, but before he could finish speaking, the bandits trapped in the carriage were already frozen solid. Of course, even the hostages were frozen solid.
"You, you don't even care about the hostages?!" the guard asked in surprise.
"It's just temporarily frozen, they can't die." Tristan unlocked the magic of the ice prison, "Go and tie up those guys!"
The guards went over together, first rescued (moved out) the hostages, and then began to tie up the bandits one by one.
"Haha, you just want to be a bandit with just a little effort?" Tristan laughed as he walked over to join in the fun.
"Bastard...bastard!!" One of the strong bandits broke out of the ice, punched away the guard who was trying to tie him up, and at the same time raised his sword to slash at Tristan beside him.
"Wow!" Tristan was frightened by this sudden change. He planned to make an ice sword to block, but it was too late! ------
"It's so noisy!" A luminous arrow was shot from the roof of the car, accurately hitting the bandit's head. The bandit collapsed helplessly, holding Tristan underneath.
"Ugh! Uncle smells so bad! Get out of here!!" Tristan struggled to push the bandit's body away, while not forgetting to yell: "Arthur, why are you shooting randomly?! You want to kill me too?"
?!"
"Stop arguing! You are so noisy that no one knows where you are!" Arthur said angrily on the roof of the car.
At this time, Arthur had turned the small photon crossbow in his hand back into a photon dagger. This was actually a gadget made by Bedivere using excess parts of the lightsaber for Arthur's self-defense.
"Oh, is it still a dagger? I thought you specially changed into a crossbow to reverse the disadvantage." A man on the opposite side said. This guy covered in black leather armor is the leader of the thieves group, Beren. He
He looked at Arthur contemptuously again, "What happened to the sword on your back? Are you not going to use it?"
Arthur said coldly, "I don't need to use other weapons, this dagger alone is enough to deal with you."
It sounds nice, but it's actually useless, Arthur thought to himself.
The Holy Sword is powerful, but in the current situation, if you want to wield it, you will not be able to keep up with the speed.
Because, the opponent used a very weird attack method.
The guy's hand melted into the darkness, and he seemed to be able to move freely and instantaneously in this black mist.
It's not clear what the principle is. But this black mist is probably the exit of countless subspaces. And that guy's hands can move freely through these subspaces.
Even if Arthur, who is extremely skilled in the art of telepathy, can instantly judge the hostility of the opponent and dodge it, there is still no way to completely avoid this sudden, blind-angle, and unbelievably fast attack. Even if his consciousness can react.
, the body has no time to react to avoid the attack!
Originally, it was still possible to flee far away when hostility was detected. But the train became the worst battlefield. There was not enough space to escape even if you wanted to.
Arthur knew in his heart that if he didn't find a solution quickly, this train would become his tomb.
