Sue had the face of a young man, but this method of using his fingernails to release sword energy and cut the table while maintaining his balance stunned the middle-aged woman.
Sue looked at the middle-aged woman coldly and continued, "An assassin dares to be arrogant in front of me? If you make a move, no one here will be able to leave this place alive! "
"Sue …" Salin coughed lightly.
"Master."
"Forget it, why bother with a woman? Just let her go." Salin was obviously not someone who would be bullied. This woman had asked him to leave, so he was using the same tone to chase her away. If she did not leave, Sue would really attack.
Sue could tell that this woman was an assassin. Salin was still very vigilant against assassins. Especially assassins who had concealed their identities. This woman's rank was definitely not as high as Sue's. If Sue wanted to, he could indeed kill everyone in this room.
Sue was from a large family in the subcontinent, and he was a direct descendant. People like him were the most sensitive to assassins. Although the middle-aged woman hid well, she could not hide from a silver sword saint who had dealt with assassins for many years.
Since she was an assassin, Sue did not hesitate to chase her away. Salin might not be afraid of letting an assassin stay by a mage's side. He had many tricks up his sleeve, but there was still Nania.
Nania did not have much combat experience. Although she was a fifth-level mage, it would be dangerous for her to face an assassin of similar rank. Sue did not mind nipping the danger in the bud.
"Ainphent!" The little girl frowned.
Ainphent spread his hands and pointed at Sue. "This is not my subordinate. I can't do anything about it. It's your fault for chasing her away first."
The little girl said helplessly, "Auntie, please leave first."
The middle-aged woman stood up silently and walked out of the room. She was really afraid that the young man would attack. If the assassin had not approached secretly, this young man could basically kill her in one move.
"What did you call me for?" Ainphent did not care about the female assassin. With Sue here, no one would dare to fight him. Ainphent could not help but envy Salin's luck. One silver sword saint was fine, but this kid actually recruited two silver sword saints, one younger than the other.
These two Silver Sword Saints would be able to guard an entire city if they were in someone else's hands.
"Ainphent, why don't you introduce us?" The girl pointed at Salin.
"My friend, Salin."
"Wizard Salin, my name is Sharman. Nice to meet you." The girl was very polite to Salin. Who asked a white-robed mage to be followed by a silver Sword Saint? This was too unreasonable.
Sharman thought that Sarlin was the son of some powerful family, and one that wasn't trash at all. How powerful did this family have to be to be able to match him with a Silver Sword Saint?
Although Su did not reveal his identity, Sharman herself was also a Sword Saint, so she could naturally judge Su's strength.
"Nice to meet you," Salin replied politely.
"Ainphent, someone is following us," Sharman said worriedly.
"I know." Ainphent smiled cunningly. With a devil like Trish around, it was impossible to hide from the people who were tracking his convoy. With Trish's warning, he and Salin had already discovered the stalker.
"Hmph, the goods we brought this time are very valuable. Ainphent, there's something strange about this town. I'm guessing they'll make their move at night."
Sha Man's strength could be considered quite strong, especially since she was younger than Su. When she knew Su's age, she might become a Black Iron Sword Saint, which was already very heaven-defying. As for Su, he had been trained in the harsh combat environment of the subcontinent. With the support of his entire family and his talent, he had advanced to a silver Sword Saint.
"You're afraid that the bandits will set fire to the carriage, right?" Ainphent and Sharman were not strangers, but Sharman had been a little kid back then and had no friendship with him. However, the relationship between the two families was not like fire and water, at least much better than that of the Williams family.
"Yes, I only brought two mages, one level-five and the other level-three. We have more than three hundred guards, and they still dared to make a move. It must be a bandit group of at least a thousand people. "
Ainphent thought for a moment and said, "A bandit group of a thousand people will at most have one mage."
Sharman blushed. Ainphent was very smart. He immediately understood that the two mages from the Roland family were probably mages who were good at the fire element. They advocated offense and had no defensive ability. If the other party attacked the carriage with fire magic, then the carriage would not be able to be saved.
Mages nurtured by such a large family usually did not have a balanced development. The level-five mages that Sharman brought would never improve in this lifetime. This was the only way to nurture powerful mages in the shortest time possible. The Roland family nurtured mages for battle, of course.
Sharman was not worried about the bandits, but about her goods. If the carriage was burned, these hundreds of sets of armor would not be able to be transported. These were goods worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Even the Roland family could not have a divine weapon. Only now did Salin realize how important Rex's God Sieve Ring was. No matter how many resources there were, Rex could take them all by himself.
It was not a problem for his dimensional stone to store a few hundred sets of armor, but was it necessary for him to do so? If he did not care about being noticed, he could fly to Holy Rock City with Trish. That would be much faster. However, Salin would not be able to observe along the way. This time, Salin still wanted to take a stroll on the road and prepare for the future war.
Other than Salin, no one else in this room had such a large spatial equipment. Salin did not say anything, so Sharman could only worry. She could guess the tricks of the bandits. They were just destroying the carriage first, then trapping her team in the town. The bandits could then gather more people and surround the town.
But when did such a large group of bandits appear in the north?
Ainphent could only say, "Salin, help me with this matter."
"Okay, if the enemy uses fire arrows, magic, or catapults against the carriage, I will take care of them." Salin did not make things difficult for Sharman.
"Thanks, Sharman. If the enemy mages come close, let your aunt take care of them. If they have large magic beasts, I will take care of them. "
"Thank you, Brother Ainphent. Then my men will be in charge of the night watch."
Salin sighed and said, "Forget it, I will go set up magic traps and alarms to prevent ambushes."
There were too many ways for the bandits to attack, and Salin was also afraid that something would happen to the goods. The goods on the two caravans added up to millions of gold coins. If they could not use normal methods to deal with the bandits, this trade route would be cut off in the future.
It had only been a year, but a large number of bandits had appeared on this road. If they were not exterminated, it would be a problem for Metatlin City.
"Salin, these bandits have to be exterminated, but …"
"But what?"
"They could be from the Rhine Duchy. If that's the case, it will be troublesome."
Salin understood. The Rhine Duchy and Jialoulan shared a border. If Jialoulan fell, the army of the Church would soon invade the Rhine Duchy. The Rhine Duchy was a place that produced mercenaries and bandits. Once the country fell, there would probably be a large number of bandits running to Qin Yin. This road would not be peaceful in the short term.
The Rhine Duchy was the smallest of the five duchies, but it had a population of more than ten million. It would not be strange for there to be hundreds of thousands of bandits.
Salin had heard many stories when he was in Scotia. It was said that in some places in the Rhine Duchy, entire villages were made up of mercenaries or bandits.
Occasionally, bandits would act as mercenaries, and mercenaries did not mind being bandits once in a while. It was common knowledge that the atmosphere in the Rhine Duchy was not good. The Scotia did not care about this. Without bandits, mercenaries would lose their jobs.
Thus, regular mercenary groups would not exterminate bandits. Both sides depended on each other. If the world was at peace, the Scotia people would not want to see it.
Everything was based on profit. It was precisely because of the Scotia people's shameless concept of survival that the Church had always found it difficult to preach in Scotia. Because the Scotia people believed in God today, they could betray the Church tomorrow. The only thing they believed in was gold coins, not gods.
A servant changed a table, and Salin and the others naturally stayed to eat.
Sharman looked at Salin with interest, but Salin did not have much interest in her. Without hesitation, he used the Detect Poison spell on every dish before letting Trish handle it.
The more Sharman looked, the more interested she was. This white-robed Mage was much more arrogant than Ainphent. He even brought a maid when he went out, and had a Level Five Mage and a Silver Sword Saint as bodyguards.
As a demon, Trish's power was once again ignored. She cut the bread for Salin, and for the first time, she agreed with Neris's method. Disguising herself as a human and hiding her power, these stupid people would not notice her. Hmph, it would be much easier to kill these people.
"Wizard Salin." Sharman slowly called out as she drank her juice.
"Yes?"
"Are you married?"
"Not yet."
"How about I introduce you to someone? My sister, Baroness Guya. "
"No." Salin thought she was going to talk about something serious. He did not expect it to be a marriage proposal.
"Why not?"
"Well, because my last name is Metatlin." Salin did not want to beat around the bush. There was no one else in the room anyway.
"Oh!" Sharman exclaimed softly. "You're the son of the mayor, right?"
No wonder Sharman thought so. Although Salin wanted to keep a low profile, his bodyguards were too strong. He did not look like the mayor himself.
"My identity must be kept a secret." Salin blinked at Sharman. He did not admit or deny it.
"Okay, Brother Salin. But you have to think about it. My sister is very nice." Sharman looked innocent. Salin smiled. There were definitely no naive people in the Roland Family.
When Ainphent was her age, she was already frighteningly gloomy. Now she looked much brighter, but in fact, she was even more difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he knew Ainphent first and knew a lot about the big families. Otherwise, he would really be fooled by this little girl's innocent look.
"Lord Ainphent." Someone called outside the door.
Ainphent glanced at Sharman. Sharman said, "Come in."
A mercenary walked in and knelt on the ground. "Lord, the brothers who went out to investigate have returned. The road to the south of the town is blocked. There are people active on the east and west sides, about five hundred on each side. "
"What about the people in the town?"
