Although Ella seemed to be able to completely suppress Millet, he was actually very nervous. This was because he knew that his body could not withstand a few melee attacks from the Golden Dragon. Now, he was the only one who could restrain the Dragon. If he was careless and got hit by the Dragon, the entire team would be wiped out. Moreover, he also had to pay attention to his Mana. If his Mana was depleted, he would be lying on the ground.
After turning around to dodge Little Mi's Dragon Breath, Ella threw out a Frost Arrow. However, just like before, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Ella still did not know what had attacked her hand. It should be the dragon's special skill. Fortunately, her HP was limited and her companions could heal her back up.
"Take it slow, Vance … This dragon has too much HP. Let's wear it down slowly …" Ella comforted his companion as he fought. This was because Vance was still relatively young compared to him. It was inevitable for him to panic in such a situation.
"I know, Ella …" Vance said. As he was looking at Ella, he suddenly saw a golden light flying towards him from the corner of his eyes. Vance immediately turned his head to look, but before he could see clearly what it was, his body suddenly shook violently. A huge force came, and Vance's entire body flew to the side, crashing heavily onto a rock at the side.
Vance did not know what happened at all, but at this moment, he felt an intense pain. It did not come from his back that hit the rock, but from his abdomen.
Vance looked down and saw a spear shining with golden light piercing his abdomen. The spear went through his body and stabbed into the stone behind him, nailing him to the ground.
"Ugh … Ah ah ah …" Vance couldn't bear the intense pain and screamed in pain.
"What!?" Both Ella and Shaqra were taken aback by the sudden turn of events. They immediately turned to look at the direction where the spear had flown from.
"Eh … That's strange. It didn't die in one hit?" In the forest beside them, a young man with short black hair slowly walked out. There were a few people behind him. Seeing this person, Ella was stunned. This guy looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Roar!" Millet was very happy. When she saw her master, she immediately gave up on Ella and ran to Li Huailin, bowing her head and begging for affection.
"Are you an idiot? You don't even know such a simple thing as weaning before killing someone. What are you playing for?" Li Huailin directly punched Millet's head. Millet was disappointed and lowered her head in remorse.
"What …" Seeing this situation, Shakra immediately understood. This dragon was actually the adventurer's pet. No wonder he couldn't kill it. But who was this guy? Why did he want to kill him?
"Wait …" Ella suddenly remembered something. This dragon and this man … she seemed to have heard someone mention this before. "You … Could you be Ruo Lin, the Duke of Millions of Hearts?"
"What? The Million Chest Duke?" Shaqra was shocked. Although he was only a Thief, he had naturally heard of the Million Chest Duke. Not to mention a human, everyone on the continent knew about this Million Chest Duke. His undefeated battle record was too terrifying. The word "Million Chest Duke" was enough to show how powerful this guy was. Of course, along with his battle record, he was also famous for his cruelty. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the most ferocious person on the continent.
However, Shaqra couldn't figure out why a Duke with a million Gold Coins would want to deal with a little Thief like him. They weren't on the same level at all. Shaqra suddenly looked at Ella, who was in front of him. Yes, Ella wasn't dealing with him at all. She was dealing with the old King's rebel army. This made sense.
"So, the famous Million Dukes have come in person. My face is quite big." Of course, if Shaqra could think of this, so could Ella. The opponent's target must be the rebel army behind him. Otherwise, such a big shot would not have the time to deal with a guy like him.
"It's good that you can recognize me. You should also know why I'm looking for you." What made Li Huailin a little depressed was that the names of these two people were in red. Wasn't his relationship with the 3rd Division pretty good? He had already killed more than a hundred of his officers, so his favorability level should have been off the charts. Could it be that after the other party betrayed him, they became enemies, so the favorability level had lost its effect? Or was it because he was currently doing a mission, so the mini-boss of this mission was displayed as an enemy? Li Huailin did not know the system's judgment, but he could not use the Godly Slap skill now, so he could only try to ask.
Of course, Li Huailin's main goal now was to find out the location of the rebel army. That way, he would be able to find his mentor, Verden, and learn his skills. As for the other information, he could get as much as he could. After all, it was useful information. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin said, "Since you know why I'm here, you guys should cooperate a little. I'm quite interested in the guy behind you. I wonder if you can introduce him to me."
"You won't get anything from me," Ella replied without thinking. Ella replied without thinking, "Duke, I know what you're planning, but I won't tell you."
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. This was probably the so-called death warrior. He was loyal to the former King Rayin. Even if his Favorability with him was maxed out, he would not betray him, let alone now that they were enemies. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin looked at Shaqra behind him and asked, "What about you? Will you die with them?"
"I … I'm willing to surrender. Duke, I'm willing to do anything. I'll answer anything you ask." Shaqra, on the other hand, didn't have such awareness. He was a Thief to begin with. He only joined because the Rebel Army supported him. Now that disaster was upon him, Shaqra naturally wouldn't go down with a rock. If he could survive, he would find a way to climb up.
"You despicable man," Ella said angrily. Ella said angrily, "I knew that people like you can't be trusted. However, Duke, this person doesn't know much information at all. He doesn't even know about our confidential situation. I knew that people like him can't be trusted, so I didn't tell him in the first place."
"Oh, is that so?" Li Huailin asked.
"This …" Shaqra was anxious. He really didn't know any important information. The rebel army had taken the initiative to contact him. He didn't even know where the other party was, how many people they had, or what resources they had. He blamed himself for being blinded by money. He didn't even pay attention to these things. At this time, he couldn't find the rebel army's weakness.
"Well, if that's the case, what's the use of you? You can die now," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
"Duke, I …"
Just as Shaqra was about to beg for mercy, Ella suddenly shouted, "Don't think about surrendering now. You and I both know who the other party is. If you fall into his hands, you will definitely die a miserable death. It's better to fight now. Maybe we will have a chance to escape!"
After saying that, Ella's body suddenly erupted with mana. A ripple of mana blew away the surrounding sand. It seemed like she was going to fight for her life.
Shaqra, who was behind her, was also stunned. Then, he understood. It was just as Ella said. He also knew how cruel a million Duke was. If he was useless to him, he would definitely not have a good ending. It was better to fight for his life now. With this thought in mind, Shaqra also took out his weapon and prepared to fight for his life.
"Seriously … Just how infamous is your reputation?" the Jade Emperor said as he looked at the situation.
"I don't know either. Why does it feel like the entire continent has such a big misunderstanding of me? Let's not talk about my notoriety. Who was the one who spread the rumor that I have a fetish for young girls?" Li Huailin said while holding his forehead.
"Huh? What's going on with that? "the Jade Emperor asked.
"Uh … I'll tell you later. Look, the other party is about to make a move," Li Huailin said as he pointed at Ella.
Indeed, Ella was obviously preparing for a big move. Flames erupted from her hands. It didn't feel like a simple skill. Li Huailin and the others immediately got ready.
Soon, Ella put her hands together, and a huge fireball flew out. However, to everyone's surprise, Ella's fireball wasn't aimed at anyone on Li Huailin's side. Instead, it was aimed at the person next to him.
With a loud "boom", the fireball hit the stone next to him. On top of the stone was Vance, who had been pinned by Li Huailin.
"Ah … Ella, you …" Vance was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire. He only managed to say that before he was burned into charcoal.
"F * ck, you're much more ruthless than me." Li Huailin instantly understood what Ella was thinking. Because he was afraid that the news would be leaked, Ella chose to burn his companion, Vance, to death first. This way, Li Huailin wouldn't be able to find out anything from him. It seemed like this guy had really decided to die here. His resolution was admirable.
"Sorry, Vance …" Seeing his companion die under his spell, Ella naturally felt very sad. However, for the sake of the Empire, although his choice was helpless, it was also the right one. Ella looked at Vance's charred corpse and took a deep breath. Then, he turned to Li Huailin and the others. "Come on."
