"A deep mountain full of forests, so it turns out, is indeed a place we mages don't like to go to."

Going deeper and deeper into more and more tree trunks, only the barely squeezed moonlight in the night sky can barely maintain sight, the sound of the breeze blowing from time to time rubbing the leaves in the woods, and the sight of beasts flickering from time to time in the grass at night, for those who need sight and For magicians who prepare magic steps in advance, this place is a very deadly place.

"Almost here."

Ignoring the king's words, it should be said that the ears deliberately ignored the king, and the small team led by Jieshi stopped after reaching a position that the magician could not catch up in a short time.

"Yes."

Understanding what the captain meant, Fuao picked up the "backpack placed somewhere in the woods" and took out a pink round pill from it.

"A fake death pill made by the kingdom of swords? Don't kill me but make me unconscious here? It's really wise."

The king's words were harsh, and more importantly, there was nothing wrong with them, which made Jieshi choose to remain silent.

This identity is the supreme ruler of the Magic Kingdom. Although the separation of powers in the Magic Kingdom is not the sole rule of the king, it still has a very important position in the magic world. If it is really killed at this time, then there will definitely be in the future Endless troubles.

For example, the Magic Council will send out all its troops to fight against the Kingdom of Swords at any cost until it is completely destroyed.

The king is very important in the minds of everyone in the Magic Kingdom. This is one of the most important reasons. The most important thing is that the Magic Kingdom has a good reason to attack the Kingdom of Swords, so as to obtain more resources to support their own country.

Letting the king pass out here is the most appropriate way of all choices. As for the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts, it is almost zero. Even the mercenaries present, Jieshi and Feng Ao are unable to sense magic molecules and have no magic. With regard to bloodlines, they also knew very well that it was impossible for those troops in the distance to put away the "magic field".

The magicians of the army must try their best to find a way to "perceive" the king's detailed location by relying on the domain.

As long as the three are far away from the king, the army will surely rush to rescue the king and hunt them down.

What really needs to be worried about is the problem of the follow-up troops rushing up.

"Let me tell you, leave quickly, even if the troops of the Ice and Lei families are blocked by the troops of the Feng family, it probably won't last long."

Interrupting the king's enjoyment and the two falling into the abyss of doubt, the girl opened her mouth to remind the two that they should not be here.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, especially in addition to the troops of the Feng family and the troops of the other two major families, even if they are concerned about the king's life, it does not mean that they will stop the offensive for the king.

On the contrary, you can use the "superficial reason" that the king's life is threatened to kill the criminals.

"and you?"

"Well, of course I stayed to contain the troops. As long as I'm here, the troops shouldn't rush forward, right? Besides, I'm a mercenary, and I need to go to my employer to collect debts later. It will be better to leave me with you two stumbling blocks." It's hard to escape."

Stumbling block, even though it is a harsh word, it is the truth, Jie Shi, who wanted to say more, could only close his mouth and nodded slightly, turned around and walked away.

Feng Ao stuffed the pill into the king's mouth, and after confirming that he was in a coma, he and Jie Shi moved slowly, shoulder to shoulder, towards the deep mountains and more forests.

"Goodbye, both of you, I really hope to see you again in the future."

Looking at the backs of the two swordsmen, the girl waved her hand lightly, and whispered her high-pitched expectations that matched her emotions.

"Then it's you next."

After confirming that the backs of the two were out of her sight, the girl sighed softly, squatted down and stared at the strongest magician who had fallen into a coma with bright red eyes.

"I hope that the full reward will make it worthwhile for me to offend the Magic Kingdom."

Click.

As long as he passed a thicker tree, Jieshi would stop and dig a simple hole in the ground, and draw a trace with his rapier on the trunk.

The purpose is to use these simple mechanisms to somewhat confuse the troops who are likely to pursue them.

These steps went through hundreds or thousands of steps, before Jieshi and Feng Ao got out of the sea of ​​trees that would touch the trees with slight shaking, and entered a cliff overlooking the entire magic capital. The surroundings seemed empty and empty. A "base" with clear air.

"You're here on time."

Seeing the miserable appearance covered in tatters and blood, Dun maintained his usual rigorous attitude, and was satisfied with the behavior of the two of them being able to get here.

"Hey, how did you get hurt like this?"

Compared with the calm Dun, Noser's face turned blue immediately when he saw the two of them, and he could feel an unbearable pain just by looking at them with the naked eye.

The clothes of the two people are not the usual clothes nor the uniforms of the Capital Academy. Both of them are wearing dark clothes that blend into the night. In addition to overlooking the scene of destruction at the gate of the capital below, I suddenly understand the general process and issue an order that everyone should not be here. Stay for a long time, leave here immediately.

Without saying anything, Dun directly picked up Jieshi's body on his back. Despite the pain, Dun still mercilessly regarded Jieshi as an object, carried it on his shoulder and walked away quickly.

"Fengao, come up."

Compared with Dun's rather rigid attitude, Norther appeared much gentler, not only bent his feet so that Feng Ao could easily move onto his back, but also didn't appear anxious because of Dun's shadow that was almost disappearing.

Even though he was facing a partner who once pointed a sharp knife at him, Feng Ao was a woman before that.

The only thing Norther insisted on was respect and etiquette for women, which was his personal honor as a swordsman.

Leaning limply on Noser's back, Feng Ao asked softly.

"Are we there on time?"

According to the mission regulations of Kingdom of Swords, there will be no room for time. If the mission is completed on the same day, it will be completed on the same day. Even if it is one second longer, it will be considered as the end of the next day. , is a failure for any reason.

Especially at the critical point at this moment, it is impossible to have extra time.

Noser didn't respond to Feng Ao immediately, he looked at Dun's back from the corner of his eyes for a few seconds, and finally closed his eyes and sighed.

"Yeah, you guys are on time."

There was helplessness in his tone that he could not violate the absolute order of the vice-captain, but just from this reaction, Feng Ao understood the answer to the question.

"Why, wait?"

"God knows, at least I've never seen the vice-captain committing the stipulations of the mission himself."

"Because of the captain?"

"Hey, why is everyone like this, it's ridiculous to have to mention him."

Noser was very displeased when these words came to his ears, and he really wanted to yell to deny this nonsense inference, but in order to prevent the vice captain from turning around and punishing him, Noser kept calm very wisely.

"There are our mobile tools in the mountains."

In order to allow the two people present to integrate into the situation immediately, Dun, who was walking in the front, explained to them while walking through one tree after another.

It is likely to be aimed at the road where magicians do not like to act. The slope of the road led by Dun is very inclined. As long as the soles of the feet do not grasp the ground, they will slide all the way to the bottom. The sharp gravel protruding from time to time is more like a hidden deadly killer. , As long as you don't pay attention, you will be injured, and if it is a slipping situation, it will directly cause serious injury.

Considering the escape route, this is the only fastest and safest choice, and it is also a painful journey that cannot take a good rest for Jie Shi and Feng Ao.

From time to time along the way, they would use the shortest way to explain, but the two of them were shaking up and down throughout the whole process, and their heads were shaking violently from side to side. The nerves in the whole body were unbearably stinging and burning due to the intense shaking, which led to the fact that they did not take a big After listening to part of the content, I only thought that my escape was indeed very painful.

"How are your eyes?"

Just when Jieshi was thinking that he would be more comfortable fighting and dying with the head of the Lei family, Dun asked softly in a tone that only Jieshi could hear.

It was a tense moment to escape quickly, but Dun asked at this moment, which made Jiexi subconsciously think it was just an auditory hallucination.

Strictly speaking, even if it was really just an illusion produced by Jie Shi's ears, he would indeed feel a warm emotion in his heart.

Basic greetings between people called "friendship".

"It hurts, and my left eye also has a dull pain."

Response was barely squeezed out from the throat that was about to be choked, the right eyelid was constantly throbbing up and down due to the pain, the inside of the eye passed far more than it should be, and a few drops of blood symbolizing death were left at the corner of the eye.

The eyelid of the left eye was constantly beating, and the entire eyeball was covered with bloodshot eyes.

The Kingdom of Swords is a country that is good at using physical energy, that is to say, it has a fairly clear understanding of the various structures of the body, the tactical skills of the body, and the research and investigation of the position of the injury.

If the eyes as the line of sight are injured, it is several times more serious than skin bleeding, and even a tragic situation that will never recover in a lifetime, that is to say, as long as the eyes are overused or receive some kind of heavy blow It does not recover over time like skin does, but falls into a state of blindness that can never be used again.

"Hold on."

They didn't turn their heads to look at Jieshi behind them, and they were blocked by their clothes, so they couldn't understand the details of Jieshi's situation by touch. However, when they heard Jieshi's words, their breathing became obviously short of breath.

Even though he could only close his eyes and open them again, before even taking a step, Jie Shi did feel a strange suddenness.

"Heh, are you worried too?"

"People need discipline, you are the captain, you cannot die."

There is no positive response from Jieshi, but if he can laugh out loud, Jieshi really wants to completely release the joy in his heart, and thoroughly enjoy this unexpected warmth and joy.

"Fuuuu, and you guys, thank you very much."

Speaking of these words that seemed to be squeezed out at the end, Jieshi's original signs of life gradually weakened. Not only did his heartbeat slow down, his breathing slowed down, but his body temperature also gradually dropped. Fingertips and toes dripped to the ground.

The faint turquoise light that was still extinguished at any time disappeared at this moment, and the green leaf patterns quickly faded, turning back into an ordinary and visible weapon.

The originally warm space with light immediately turned into a dark and icy world. If Dun and Noser hadn't reacted quickly enough, they would almost have slipped to the ground due to the change of sight light.

When the divine sword that released the "recovery effect" loses its brilliance, it undoubtedly means that the magical effect has disappeared, and the two people taken care of by the divine sword behind it are equivalent to losing their protection. .

"Still breathing."

After confirming that the guy behind him was not completely dead, he subconsciously quickened his pace, hoping to leave this dangerous place sooner.

The capital can no longer be seen in sight, only an endless plane, at most only a few trees and paths where weeds grow vigorously.

This is the escape route that the vice-captain thought of. On the other side of the deep mountain, even if the magic troops have a way to detect the location of the hostage team, they still need to go through such a dangerous road, and the shortest path for Dun and Norther to "slide" down, the magician can't do it. May have sufficient stamina and reflexes.

In other words, when the magician arrived at this plane, the hostage team had already left.

"The next route is as planned."

The content of the previous discussion came to Noser's mind, and he nodded vigorously to the deputy captain, and the two headed towards the two alpine cows that were eating weeds in place.

One does not have any riding equipment on its body, just like a purebred livestock cattle to feed the family, while the other has special riding equipment on its body, and there are two thick and heavy columns tightly tied with ropes, extending all the way Go to the back of the cow's buttocks, connect a small mount space that nobles can enjoy.

The equipment is square and ventilated, with a layer of white cloth above it as a roof to block the sun, and the inner seats are also placed with soft and comfortable cushions.

One is an alpine ox that is regarded as the economic center of gravity by the common people of the Magic Kingdom, and the other is a purebred strong alpine ox that is used by the nobles as coolies.

When they received the envelope from the Kingdom of Swords, Dun and Noser went to "borrow" these two mobile tools after preparing their luggage. Of course, such transportation tools can be obtained in the magical country, but the time required is too cumbersome. , coupled with concerns about the night and identity, the two naturally chose the fastest illegal way to get it.

"Vice-captain, is this route really okay?"

"If you have any questions, just ask."

Without stopping because of talking, the two of them tacitly put the sleeping two into the small cart house behind the alpine cattle.

Dun sat on the back of an alpine ox that looked bulkier and had a lot of equipment on it, while Noser sat on the back of an unequipped ox.

"This route is one of the detours that deliberately avoids the front of the Magic Kingdom. It's just that there are many gravels and potholes on the flat road. I'm afraid that if we really predict the movement, we may fail to escape."

Hearing this, he stared deeply at Noser for a long time, and the inner peace produced slight fluctuations.

Should it be said that he is a guy who is qualified to enter the hostage team again?Before escaping, he had already analyzed and judged all the escape routes.

"No, it can only be this way."

However, Dun still opened his mouth to deny Norther's worries.

"Yes."

Don't ask or question, this is the strength and tenacity of the vice-captain. If it was the captain, Noser would probably make a roar to refute, but now he is facing an incomparably great vice-captain, Noser You can only obediently tighten your resistance mentality and act according to this will.

After all, I really can't see what's wrong with it now.

Riding on the back of the alpine ox, making sure to stabilize the body, the two immediately used the riding skills they learned from the kingdom of swords to drive the alpine ox to move, and used the whips in their hands so that the two oxen could move forward more easily.

Many swordsmen in the kingdom of swords will learn riding skills for the convenience of movement, but what they learn is the common moving species in their own country, not the alpine cows in the magic kingdom.

The back of the alpine cow is relatively broad, and its personality is docile, and its speed is slower than the moving tools of the Kingdom of Swords. However, because of this, the two were able to move smoothly when riding the first-time species.

"Bavi Noser, this road is a detour. According to the map, this road is around the "Gathering God Forest" between the Three Kingdoms. There is a chance to be attacked by monsters in the forest on the road, and this is what we can grasp. Given the opportunity, it is impossible for the Magic Kingdom troops to take such a big risk.”

Generally speaking, if a military force wants to hunt down a criminal listed as dangerous to the country, they will definitely use all means to hunt down the criminal, even sacrificing one or two elites. The question is whether the country will be willing How many elite troops were sacrificed in order to hunt down the criminals.

Five, or even fifteen?These answers seem silly and naive on second thought.

It is impossible to lose three elites for one prisoner, especially the Magic Kingdom, which has a small number of people, so the chance of entering the Gathering Forest, which may put the entire army in crisis, is absolutely zero.

If you think about it in this way, what the vice-captain said makes sense, provided that they also pass through safely.

Gathering God Forest is a forest named jointly by the three countries. Whether this name is in the Kingdom of Swords or the Kingdom of Magic, as long as this word is mentioned, it will be frightening.

There are a bunch of strange and huge creatures that do not exist in the territories of the three countries. Not only are they quite aggressive, there are legends that some monsters have more than a dozen strong and sharp tentacles, and there is also a strange creature with three heads. Insects, these rumors of Kingdom of Swords and Kingdom of Magic all have similar content. The only thing in common between the two countries is that no one will enter such a dangerous zone at will.

Gathering God, a seemingly solemn and sacred title, is actually a terrifying forest where a group of monsters gather, and what is even more frightening is the "unknown" in the depths of the forest. The rumors it has are almost endless day.

And the whole hostage team is preparing to set off to the outskirts of such a strange forest. It is more like seeking death than an adventure.

If it wasn't for the vice-captain at the front to stabilize Noser's mood, the latter would probably be overwhelmed by cowardice and resolutely take another route.

"There is one more order, do not wake them up under any circumstances, and then we need to solve it with the two of us."

"Yes."

"If there is a situation, you escape alone, and you must tell the leader what we know, understand?"

"This...you want me to abandon the vice-captain?"

"Understand?"

"Yes!"

Majestic and exuding a sense of majesty that is difficult to get close to, even if there is a distance of two feet, Noser will still be suppressed by this repression and always pay attention to his words and deeds.

It was just the words that the vice-captain blurted out, and Noser seemed to see the great and unrestrained gesture shown when he was about to sacrifice.

Even though Dun's appearance and expression didn't change, as simple as just saying a plain word, for Noser, he had an aura that was hard to reach.

At the same time, I hated that oil bottle still in the captain's position even more in my heart, and now he was resting in it even more brazenly.

Regardless of whether everyone returned to the Kingdom of Swords safely or he was left miserable, he must find a way to pull Jieshi down from the captain position, the best way is to return to the Magic Kingdom to continue his prisoner.

"Jieshe is the captain, a stumbling block for all of us. It is all because of him that we have fallen into this situation. No matter what, we must get rid of it!"

In order to become the vice-captain himself, Noser faintly made this decision, and using this determination as a driving force, he looked more sharply at the road in front of him.
