"What did you say?"

Miranda, who had just come off the rotation to rest, leaned on her sword, knelt on one knee, and asked in disbelief Conmuto, who came to deliver the order:

"Retreat? Now?"

She tried hard to adjust her breathing and looked around: the royal guards were conveying orders with gestures or whispers. Many of them had equally surprised expressions on their faces, but most of them had fleeting expressions and retreated in an orderly manner.

.

"What about the enemy?"

Miranda looked towards the center of the field: under Toledo's order, the four masters besieging Lausanne retreated at the same time.

Lausanne II had a moment of respite, but Toledo gave another order, and saw (because he had been ordered to stand by for too long) an angry Nate Niecy leaping into the field with a roar, his sword coming out like a rainbow!

"clang!"

Luosang managed to parry the sword with great difficulty, but Nexi's second sword immediately followed him without stopping!

"Interesting, young man," Luo Sang's eyes lit up, but his movements were not slow, "You are better than that girl from Pegasus Music."

But after he finished speaking, Nixi's expression changed drastically, and he was filled with shame and anger. He roared angrily, and his attack became even more urgent!

Although there was only one person, Nexi's sword flashed with astonishing momentum, and the sword light enveloped the opponent's body from all angles. It was no less than the previous four-person siege. For a while, Lausanne II was suppressed to the point where he could only defend but not attack, and was unable to move even an inch.

Miranda frowned repeatedly.

strangeness.

This stupid young man wasn't that strong when he played against her in a two-on-one matchup before.

"Ouch, the mad dog is out of the cage... Ahem, sorry, ma'am, I mean," Conmuto on the sidelines quickly changed his words. He returned to the conversation with Miranda, with an embarrassed look on his face, "This is the prince's order: play the long game.

, catch big fish.”

“Isn’t this fish big enough?”

Miranda found it difficult to understand: "This guy's strength is close to the extreme level, and we are just a little short of..."

"He is at the extreme level, even stronger." A familiar voice came from behind them, unhurried and confident.

The two turned around, and Mallos stood behind them, staring intently at the one-on-one duel on the field.

Conmuto immediately said hello solemnly, and the watchman nodded to him and motioned for him to continue delivering orders.

"Stronger?"

Miranda stood up and swung her sword: "But he -"

At this moment, Mallos moved his arm and snatched the eagle from the female swordsman's hand!

Miranda turned around in surprise: "You——"

Damn it, it was because she was unprepared for a moment that he...

"Whoa!"

On the field, Nixi seized the opportunity and made a dangerous and dangerous move with a rustling sword, but Lausanne II dodged it at the critical moment.

Marius frowned imperceptibly, flicked the long sword in his hand, and thrust it into the ground.

"In order to have flexible postures, in the mainstream swordsmanship of the Pegasus family, the sword is held with one hand more than with both hands," Mallos looked at Miranda, "But you have been fighting with the sword with both hands for more than five minutes."

"What does this have to do with us-"

But the next second, the watchman grabbed Miranda's right wrist!

Miranda was shocked and angry: "What are you doing-"

"Because I can no longer hold on with one hand." Mallos said lightly.

Miranda was speechless.

Mallos remained expressionless and gently opened the female swordsman's black gloves:

The female swordsman's right hand, which was covered with thick calluses and even slightly deformed, was trembling uncontrollably.

Her fingers were severely congested, red and swollen, and there were even stains of blood on the joints such as the tiger's mouth. There was even a scratch on the back of her hand, which was constantly bleeding.

Miranda's breathing quickened and her eyes focused.

Looking at the injury, which far exceeded his estimate, Mallos frowned and said:

"I know that his sword is difficult to pick, and I also know that you are strong-willed, but don't you feel the pain?"

Miranda's expression changed and she withdrew her palm!

"It's just a minor injury."

She gritted her teeth and put on her black gloves with annoyance on her face, but her fingers couldn't stop trembling: "The key now is that we have gained the advantage. No matter how strong his swordsmanship is, he will not be able to hold on for long if he is outnumbered. At this time, retreat...

"

"No offense," Mallos interrupted her with cold words, "But everyone in Star Lake Castle and around the prince must obey my orders."

Miranda was given a raw meal.

Mallos narrowed his eyes: "Of course, according to tradition, except for the prince's mistress."

Miranda's teeth clenched.

Mallos' expression remained unchanged and he stared at her calmly.

"Yes, Lord Mallos." After a few seconds, the swordswoman took a deep breath, regained her composure, stepped back and bowed, "Follow your order, sir."

Yes, she knew that although the prince himself was gentle and agreed, his joining the Star Lake Guard halfway still made many people uncomfortable.

Some things are so deep-rooted that they cannot be solved with just a few words or an order from above.

Just like he had just arrived at Broken Dragon Fortress - those big-head soldiers, they not only respect Commander Sonia, but also support her and regard her as one of their own. They will bloom with the flowers of the fortress and make everyone laugh together.

Dirty jokes.

But they would never make a joke like that with her, and even if they did, it would be behind her back, and it would still make her feel uncomfortable.

but……

Miranda looked around at the Star Lake Guards who retreated one after another and slowly disappeared from sight.

But Paul also joined halfway, including Waiya and Mute, but they were able to integrate very well.

Why?

Miranda took a deep breath and turned around.

That's all, compared to Ai Xi, she is much luckier.

At this moment.

"I have a plan."

Mallos's voice rang out and he explained:

"The code name is Z. I can kill this guy at the minimum cost."

Plan Z?

Miranda raised her eyebrows and looked back:

"Really? How?"

As he spoke, Nixi's offensive ushered in the second wave of climax. His attacks were faster than the other, and his moves followed each other, forcing Lausanne II to be unable to resist step by step.

But Mallos's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"Go and join the others, Hugo. I mean Flag Officer Fubi will explain it to you."

Miranda wanted to ask again, but she stopped at the last moment and bit her lower lip:

"I see."

The next second, the situation on the field suddenly changed. One second before Niexi struck out with a killing sword, Luosang sent a sword from the most impossible angle, hitting the former's wrist!

Nixi groaned in pain, and everyone's nerves tensed up.

However, the herald Toledo entered the battle from one side at the right time, and with three mediocre swords, he could barely parry Lausanne's counterattack, giving the defeated Nisi a chance to be replaced and withdraw from the battle.

It's faster than expected.

Mallos pondered.

"Do me a favor, madam, go and persuade the young master of the Bozdov family. I can see that he also has objections to the order." Mallos snorted. "Besides these guards, there are people who are of noble birth and are difficult to discipline."

The young masters and ladies are really giving people a headache."

"I'm not - I understand," Miranda was unhappy at first, but then controlled her emotions, "Yes, I will ensure that Paul obeys the order."

Or obey her sword.

Mallos looked at her reaction with subtle eyes.

Miranda wanted to reach for her weapon, but Mallos reached out before her and drew out the Eagle.

"Ancient Imperial Sword?"
