Zaku wiped the blood on his hands.

Don't get me wrong, unlike ordinary robbers, he will not violate the spirit of the contract for the sake of an insignificant person. This is his last pride as a "Teislot" nobleman.

However, he could not restrain the remaining "robbers" because they were not his men at all.

Of course, if you say that he is despicable and shameless, he will take it as you are praising him. According to his life experience, it is usually difficult for people who are despicable and shameless enough to die.

After all, that's how he survived.

Therefore, Zaku called these two things "wisdom of life".

There were corpses, the remains of carriages and scattered cargo everywhere.

Although he learned some information about the "Crown" from the young people at the Chester Chamber of Commerce, Zaku's face didn't look good.

The things had been taken away in advance... and they were in the hands of those who escaped...

However, Zaku was convinced that they would not be able to escape from this forest at all!

...dividing line...

"call……"

"ha……"

Fatigue came over me like a tide.

A lot of time has passed since Ivan and Hill entered the forest, but they still couldn't get rid of their pursuers, and the bandits kept chasing them closely.

The long-distance running was a test of their physical strength. Even if they didn't want to stop, their sore muscles and nearly exploding lungs were telling them the fact that they had reached their limit.

"Here!" Hill took Ivan's hand, and the two of them quickly hid in the shadows under the big tree in front of them.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The sound of horse hooves trampling on the open space clearly reached their ears. Several bandits were approaching here on horses plundered from the convoy.

Then, they stopped, and several robbers jumped off their horses, seeming to be searching for something.

"Where did he go?" One of the robbers looked impatient.

He doesn't like the cat-and-mouse game at all, even though he is the cat in this game.

"I really envy Putis and the others. They only have to follow that stinky bandit, unlike us who have to do such a tiring and thankless job."

The remaining "robbers" also nodded in approval.

"I say, brothers, stop complaining. It's useless to complain. If these words get into the general's ears, you might even be punished."

General?!

Ivan and Hill hiding

They looked at each other confused.

The robbers did not notice at all that two "little mice" were eavesdropping on their conversation, and they continued to talk enthusiastically.

"Let's work quickly. The order from above is to leave no one alive. Be careful of these rats escaping."

"It's not that easy. Now the forest is almost full of our people."

"There are still a few beautiful girls in this motorcade. It's such a pity..."

"If we catch it, why not..."

Several people looked at each other, and then burst out laughing in unison.

"What a bunch of beasts..." Hill looked at them as if they were looking at non-recyclable garbage.

"Shh! Don't talk! If possible, we'd better find out their identities before taking action." Ivan said.

"Crunch."

The sound, like someone stepping on dead branches and leaves, immediately attracted everyone present.

"Who is it?!"

The robbers immediately became vigilant, and several crossbows were aimed at the grass there.

"come out!"

"It turns out it's him..."

A figure that was somewhat familiar to Ivan came out. It was the red-robed mercenary who had a brief exchange with him that night!

"Oh, it turns out there is really a mouse here. Tell me little mouse, why are you hiding there?" The robbers saw that there was only one person, and his body was slightly thin, so they all laughed unbridled.

stand up.

The red-robed mercenaries have been silent all this time, indifferent to the actions of these bandits.

"Are you scared? It's really boring." The robber with the sword walked up, ready to kill the "little mouse" who was so frightened that he made no move.

"What should we do? Are we going to go out and help?"

"If you can help, please help. It's difficult for the two of us to escape from this forest." Ivan was already ready to fight in a moment.

The robber gradually and cautiously approached the red-robed mercenary, and pointed at his abdomen, the sword in his hand suddenly shot out!

At this critical moment, the red-robed mercenary made a move!

The robber just lost sight of the mercenary in front of him. He was about to say something, but then the force from behind made him faint.

"He's a master!"

"Kill him!"

The red-robed mercenary was like a gust of wind, and the incoming crossbow arrows could not hurt him at all. He was close to these guys in a few steps.

"So fast!" Even Ivan and Hill had to admire the red-robed mercenary's agility.

At this time, the bandits also noticed the extraordinary nature of the enemy in front of them. They stopped laughing and joking, and stared at the red-robed mercenary cautiously and nervously.

The wind brought by his galloping made the red robe on his back fly freely. The mercenary in red robe dodged the sword that was stabbing him. Then he grabbed the robber's right hand and twisted it hard, only to hear a "click"

With a sound, the man's shoulder joint had been dislocated.

"Ahhhhhh!"

As if he had a sense of induction, the moment the spear was thrust out from his back, the mercenary didn't even look at it. He just made a very small sideways move to avoid the spear, just like sliding, and followed the spear.

The barrel of the gun was close to the attacker.

The attacker's face was obviously more panicked, and he swept away with his gun in the hope of driving back the approaching enemy.

The red-robed mercenary did not retreat but advanced. The moment the spear was swept towards him, he jumped up high, stepped on the gun shaft like a dragonfly touching water, and instantly crossed the remaining distance, and then kicked the robber away with one kick.

The red-robed mercenary's smooth movements made Ivan a little stunned.

Frankly speaking, he can't do this.

He couldn't be so smooth, nor could he be so perfect. If he had to use one word to describe this battle, Ivan would definitely use "dancing" to describe it.

That's right, it's dancing.

The red-robed mercenary is that skilled dancer. Every move he makes is quite smooth and has an indescribable beauty.

He was very sure that if he had a bare-handed fight with the red-robed mercenary, he would definitely lose, and he would lose miserably.

But what makes Ivan feel strange is that as a mercenary, he has not killed any enemies until now, but only caused them to temporarily lose their combat effectiveness.

How could a mercenary have such strange persistence?

Thinking about these things, Ivan didn't notice the dead branches and leaves at his feet.

"Creak..."

The red-robed mercenary immediately became vigilant again and stared at the sound.

"Don't be nervous, it's me!" Ivan quickly jumped out and said.

Red-robed mercenary: "..."

"I originally planned to help you, but I didn't expect you to solve it so neatly by yourself." Ivan scratched his forehead, feeling quite embarrassed.

The red-robed mercenary shook his head and said it didn't matter.

"I think we should cooperate and escape from here together."

After hesitating for a moment, the red-robed mercenary finally nodded.
Chapter completed!
