Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trouble Comes
Lurking in the grass, looking at the guards under the fire, Oland frowned.
"Are you sure it's this carriage?"
He lowered his head and asked the people around him.
"Yes, my lord, we have been following us here from Brookwood Town, and we can be sure that Miss Helen of the Keller family is indeed in this carriage."
"The number of people seems to be a bit inconsistent with what you said earlier?"
"Yes, there were three other travelers in the carriage, their identities are not known for the time being, but I don't think they have anything to do with the Keller family. The strength should not be too strong. ”
"Very good, remind them, pay attention, prepare to attack, we must not fail."
Olland didn't say anything more, they had been getting information about Helen's exit from the city for several days, and now they finally had a chance to do it, and the order from above was to arrest him alive. But this is not a big problem for Ollander,
"Yes."
The man turned, and soon disappeared into the depths of the grass, while Holland looked up again at the carriage not far away. And just then, he suddenly saw the door of the carriage open, and a young man stepped down from it.
That's him?
Olland's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of bad premonition vaguely welled up in his heart.
Rhodes stepped out of the carriage.
The forest in the distance was unusually dark in the light of the fire, and he moved his gaze to the bushes not far away, and then his face was slightly gloomy.
There were indeed people there.
In fact, when he noticed someone lurking nearby, Rod's first thought was that the group of haunting creatures in the Dusk Forest had come back to him. But soon he thought about it and felt that something was wrong, if it was really those guys, then it should be difficult for his perception to detect that the other party was. After all, secret agents are advanced professions, and no matter how perverted their initial attributes are, they cannot be compared to advanced professions. The only possibility is that the other party may have been negligent and left such a small clue.
But after getting out of the carriage, Rod changed his mind, his perception can firmly lock on the other party, and there is no pressure, which shows that these people in ambush in the grass are not such a high-end existence as secret agents, then things are very strange, Rod asked himself after coming to this world, he hasn't provoked anyone, right, but now it seems ———that maybe the other party is not coming at him?
"Mr. Rhodes? What happened? ”
And at this moment, Li Jie also opened her eyes, as a mercenary, she has maintained the habit of being vigilant anytime and anywhere, and Rhodes definitely didn't sleep at night and got off the carriage for a walk. So she quickly opened her eyes, lowered her voice, and asked in a low voice.
"Some rats."
Rod retracted his gaze and looked back at the fire, and Lijie was also shocked to hear his answer.
"Is that the same people who were following us before?"
"No, it doesn't look like it's coming for us."
Rod shook his head, his answer surprised Lijie, but before she could say anything, a guard had already walked over.
"Hello, sir, is there anything please?"
After a day's travel, Rhodes also knew that the man in front of him was Miss Helen's chief of guard, named Ben, although generally speaking, the position of chief of the guard should be done by some skilled people, but Ben obviously does not belong to the ranks of skilled swordsmen, he is only a seventh-level swordsman, according to the standards of this world, that is, he has just crossed the apprentice level and become an official swordsman. However, because his family had always served the Keller family and was loyal, he was sent to this position. It is more correct to be her entourage than to protect the fat lady.
And for Ben, his attitude towards Rod has a vague trace of respect. In fact, at the beginning, Ben didn't have a good impression of Rod, because Rod's beautiful face always made people think that he was just a little white face, but then Rod's performance made him completely speechless. You must know that at this age, the average noble child can't even hold a sword, let alone fight. But Rhodes was able to blast two well-trained guards away with a single raise of his hand, and no matter how he did it, the young man's strength was unimaginably strong. Ben had been in Deep Rock for twenty years, but in his memory, he had never seen such a brilliant person except for the young and promising heir of the Felix family. …,
Every man has a dream of a strong man in his heart, and Ben is naturally no exception, not to mention that the Dragon Soul Continent has always been respected by the strong, although it was very unpleasant to have a quarrel with Rod before, but after knowing that the other party had the strength to pinch himself to death between raising his hand, Ben's attitude immediately became extremely respectful.
In the face of Ben's courtesy, Rod waved his hand, he already felt a total of seven people lurking nearby, two on the left and two in front of him, and only one person in the rear. And only this person's whereabouts Rhodes has no way to be particularly sure, and the rest of the people can lock each other even if they are in action, but only this person's whereabouts are a little erratic and may disappear at any time.
It seems that that is the strongest link among these people.
Thinking of this, Rhodes already had an idea.
"Call your men back."
"Huh?"
Hearing Rod's words, Ben didn't react for a while, he subconsciously wanted to ask a few more words, but Rod didn't give him this opportunity.
The star scars appeared.
The white light pierced the dark night sky, and the snow-white and bright crescent-shaped blade burst out from the sword, and Ben only felt a flash of light in front of him, and then the sharp wind brushed his cheeks, whistling into the depths of the dark forest. For a while, all the plants and trees fell, and the stumps and broken leaves flew away under the strong air waves, like small stones washed by the huge waves.
The poor two men in black didn't expect that the other party would fight at all, without any warning, when they reacted, Yuehua's light blade was already close in front of them, and they only had time to make a move, and then the whole person stopped there.
Like a gentle breeze, Moonlight's blade of light swept past the two of them, and then disappeared into the depths of the dim forest.
The two frozen figures fell in the grass like puppets with broken strings a moment later, without a sound.
And all this was seen by Olander, who was lurking on the other side, and in the face of all this, he was dumbfounded, but he couldn't say half a word.
The other party is an advanced swordsman!?
Characters who can condense sword qi and spread attacks are definitely not easy to mess with, generally speaking, those who have this kind of skill are either those who are strong enough to step into the advanced realm, or people from some big families, no matter which one they are, they are not something that a little thief can provoke! Thinking of this, Outlander couldn't help gritting his teeth, clenching the dagger in his hand, and really wanted to stab the guy who reported to him just now in the back. Say that although the other party doesn't seem to be strong, he has strange tricks, and he hopes that adults will be careful.
Not strong? Advanced Swordsman: Your sister's strength is not strong?
It's no wonder that Olander thinks so, after all, in the Dragon Soul Continent, NPCs and players are different. The level of NPCs and the skill level increase are the same, and the class level of level 10 is the skill level of level 10. However, players are different, and by consuming skill points to increase their proficiency, even a level 10 player can have spells and swordsmanship skills that reach a high level if they pursue extremes. There are even some players who can have master-level swordsmanship strength just after they have advanced——— but on the contrary, the more high-end skills are consumed, so even if they have mastered mastered mastery-level skills, but they don't have enough strength to maintain them, then it's just a joke.
This sudden accident caused Orland's original plan to fall apart immediately. Originally, he had planned to send someone to kill the three little guards who were not very good, and then catch Miss Helen and leave. Fortunately, before he made a move, he had already lost two of his subordinates, and the other party also had an advanced swordsman, so things were very troublesome. Although Orland's own strength is not weak, he has not yet touched the advanced barrier, and the opponent's sword frightened Orlander immediately felt a chill in his back.
But............
"Fight!!"
Olander gritted his teeth, then put his finger to his mouth and whistled a long one.
Then, several black shadows jumped out of the grass and pounced on the carriage!
"Protect Miss!"
Although he was shocked by Rod's previous actions, Ben reacted immediately after seeing the two figures lying in the grass, shouting and drawing his long sword, while the other two guards quickly approached the carriage. At this moment, Li Jie also hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, stretched out her hand and cast a guardian shield on the three of them.
"Whoosh!"
Lijie's shield was cast just right, and within a second of her shield, five or six pitch-black arrows flew out of the grass towards the unsuspecting guards. But they were still a step late, and they were bounced away in front of the shield that emitted a faint golden light, and they were useless.
"Ready! Watch your surroundings! ”
Ben shouted loudly, even nervously. It's no wonder, after all, this is the first time he has encountered an enemy sneak attack in the wild, and in the past, Miss's range of activities was in Deep Rock City, and he was not afraid of any trouble. But now that I'm out of the city, I didn't expect to encounter such bad luck!
But there was no point in thinking about it now, looking at the man in black who was rushing towards him, Ben gritted his teeth, shouted, and then rushed forward.
