"Report to your lordship, we have surrounded the entire city district!"

A heavily armed soldier stood in the doorway, quickly reporting to those inside. Hearing his words, Krause's face sank slightly, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the smiling man sitting across from him. He was dressed in a striking suit of armor, his long brown hair was draped down, and an ugly scar on his resolute face stretched from his eyebrows to his chin.

"Very well, the order goes down, you must catch them, understand?"

"Yes!!"

Hearing his superior's answer, the soldier saluted, then immediately turned away. The city lord of Krause had a gloomy face, staring at the man in front of him. He moved his fingers, then sneered and leaned back on the couch.

"I really didn't expect that the dignified deputy commander of the Southern Theater would be so close to a few little mercenaries...", if this is seen by outsiders, won't you laugh off your big teeth? Lord Long? You came to me for no reason, and you opened your mouth to arrest people, are you too dismissive of us in Parfield? ”

"It happened suddenly, and I invite Lord Krauser."

Hearing Krause's disgruntled complaints, the soldier named Long showed a reassuring smile, and he reached out and waved it gently. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a mysterious look. Seeing the man's smiling face, Krauser could only snort dissatisfiedly. Although he has never had a good impression of these pretending to be ghosts, no one is strong now, and he can only watch from the sidelines.

Long and his subordinates came to Deep Rock City yesterday, and when he first came, Krause was still a little puzzled, because in his memory, this place did not belong to the jurisdiction of the Southern War Zone, but then he found out that this group of masters really had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, according to Long, their intelligence showed that there was a wanted criminal in the Southern War Zone here, and they came here to arrest people. And pretended to ask Krauser for permission one by one, which is simply taking off his pants and farting, and doing more. If the military region wants to arrest people, when does it need the permission of the local magistrate?

Krauser didn't really care who they were arresting, especially since these people's excuses were full of loopholes and could not stand up to scrutiny

In order to catch a wanted criminal, it is necessary to let the deputy commander of the Southern Theater of Operations personally go into battle with a team of elite soldiers, is this wanted criminal a necromancer or a usurper of power? They are willing to verbally inform themselves, which is already very face-saving.

But Krauser is just unhappy, and the other party blatantly asked him to be responsible for assisting in sealing the lock, which really treats him as a garlic? However, as a territorial political officer, Krauser will certainly not be stupid enough to turn his face with these soldiers on the spot, otherwise even if they don't do anything on the surface, they will be enough to drink a pot of their own back. Now that the situation in Parfield is unstable, he doesn't want to cause new trouble, but this means that Krauser is really stupid to let the other party do whatever he wants, in fact, before they act, Krauser has secretly sent people to secretly check who these people are targeting. If it's just an ordinary person, then he doesn't see it. If it's a nuisance, then ..................

At this moment, a light and shadow flashed in the corner of Krause's eyes, and then the city lord put down the teacup in his hand without moving, stood up with a smile, and nodded slightly to Longen.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I suddenly remembered that I still have some official duties to judge......... I beg your pardon. ”

With that, Krauser immediately walked out of the living room, closed the door, and passed through the narrow corridor to the balcony on the other side, where an old man dressed as a butler was putting away the mirror in his hand and bowing slightly to Krause. …,

"Lord of the Castle."

"Do you know who they're targeting?"

Krauser asked in a low voice, and the old man nodded slightly, then replied.

"Yes, my lord, according to the information I just received from the market area, these knights are after three girls."

"Girls?"

Hearing this, Krauser was stunned.

"Do you know who they are?"

"Of course, the hosts. They are all members of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, Sister Ligino Aelo and Sister Anne Verroga, and as for the other sister, I don't know her origins. ”

"Starlight Mercenary Regiment?"

Hearing this, Krause's face immediately changed drastically.

"Are you sure those guys are going for them?"

"Yes, my lord, I can be sure that many people have seen the battle between these three little sisters and those knights.................."

“……… Worst! ”

Hearing this, Krause's face changed greatly, he gritted his teeth, and turned back and forth a few times, his face pale. Then he stopped, took a sharp breath, put on a cold face, and said to the old butler beside him.

"Go, you immediately go find a team of elites, let them sneak into the market area, and see if you can rescue these three little sisters! Also, let's see if the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment has returned! Go now! ”

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know why Krauser suddenly became so nervous, the old butler quickly took the order to leave. Looking at the old butler's distant figure, Krauser only felt a tingling in his scalp, and then he thought back and forth for a moment with a straight face, and then turned his expression seriously and returned to the living room. "Oh?"

Seeing Krauser go and return, Long put down the teacup in his hand and smiled.

"Is there anything else going on with Lord Krause?"

"I'm very sorry, Lord Long."

But to Lonn's surprise, this time Krause's tone was icy and cold, and he didn't even have the politeness he had before.

"I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent, so please be able to leave here, please forgive me for being rude, I'm sorry, send off!"

Hearing Krause's answer, Long immediately restrained his smile, and he stared at the city lord in front of him carefully, wondering what he was thinking. However, Long's expression only changed for a moment, and then he immediately returned to normal, he stood up, gave Krauser a meaningful look, and then said nothing, turned and left. From Krause's attitude, Long already sensed that he couldn't ask anything, and he was not an idiot, Krauser must have heard something about the changes before and after. In this case, Long has no intention of staying for a long time, and he must immediately find out what caused Krause's attitude to suddenly change, could it be that there is something wrong with his actions?

At the moment, the market area is in chaos.

"These guys are so close!"

Looking at the knight who was once again rushing from behind, Anne was already a little bored. They have tried several times to break out of the market, but they have not succeeded. These heavily armed knights are very tricky, although in terms of individual strength, they are not opponents of Anne and Lijie, but these knights are superior to the number of people, and the tacit cooperation also makes the two feel very difficult. Not to mention, there's also a girl who has no way to keep up at all.

"Huh.................. Hah............"

Christie, who was following Lijie, was pale, and even faintly appeared a little cyan, her petite body fluctuated violently, and her slender legs trembled uncontrollably, almost unable to stand. Although Lijie already takes good care of Christie, this kind of jī movement is too cruel for the girl. But even so, Christie still gritted her teeth and did not show the slightest intention of giving up. …,

"Let's go Lijie."

"No, Anne......"

This time, in the face of Anne's words, Lijie shook her head resolutely.

"Christie can't hold it anymore, she won't be able to stand it if she continues like this!"

"Then there is only no need to fight."

Looking at Christie's already somewhat sluggish eyes, Anne also knew that she couldn't run anymore, and the reason why the girls were able to follow them now was completely instinctive. If I keep going, I am afraid that I will not even have an instinctive reaction. Christie was not in good health and could not withstand such a sting.

Thinking of this, Anne immediately turned around, and the heavy pure gold shield in her hand suddenly deformed and slammed into the ground. At this moment, Lijie also quickly released several healing techniques, and finally allowed Christie to recover some.

"I don't know where Lu Dao came from, the bastard actually came to find trouble with us, see the head of the regiment come back, it's strange if you don't clean them up!"

At this moment, those knights also found that Anne and the others were no longer running away, so they quickly surrounded them from all sides, and soon surrounded the three of them.

"In the name of the garrison, I once again ask you to lay down your arms and surrender immediately!"

"Dreaming!"

Hearing what the other party said, Anne raised her eyebrows, her personality was originally very simple, she didn't do anything, and she was chased and beaten inexplicably, which made Anne very unhappy. Now let them surrender, there is no door! What's more, the other party kept claiming that he was a garrison, which added to the suspicion of the two. No matter how you look at it, this group of knights in front of you are noble private soldiers, what do they want to do in the name of the garrison?

On the contrary, Li Jie looked at the group of soldiers in front of her with a hint of hesitation, and gently pulled Anne's hand, signaling her not to act rashly for the time being.

Then, Lijie asked.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? ”

“……………………”

This time, the other party did not answer Lijie's question, they just tacitly narrowed the encirclement and trapped the two in it. And Li Jie gritted her teeth, looking at the soldiers in front of her, not knowing what to do.

Is it really only surrender? But what about Christie?

Thinking of this, Lijie couldn't help but hold the girl tightly in her arms with her backhand, watching these soldiers vigilantly, while Anne also clenched her shield, waiting to fight back.

None of them noticed that Christie, who was being held in her arms at the moment, was staring blankly around, and then, her purple eyes, which were obscured by her long hair, began to emit a faint light.........

"Take it!"

Soon, the knight at the head waved his hand and gave the order. And when they heard the order, those soldiers immediately waved their weapons and rushed forward!

Facing the weapon in front of her, Li Jie couldn't help but close her eyes, and a deep sense of powerlessness emerged from the girl's heart, she didn't know what to do next.

"Ding!!"

At this moment, a long sword suddenly stretched out from the side, blocking the attack of the soldiers...... ）
