With a clink, the black arrow bounced back and landed not far in front of Antis.
At this moment, Antis's face was as black as charcoal as he turned around and shouted angrily at his soldiers, "Who shot the arrow?"
None of the hundred or so city guards said a word.
Antis narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Change back to squad mode, each squad leader check if there are any additional strangers in the team."
As soon as he said this, a soldier among the city guards immediately knocked away his companions next to him and retreated.
Antis was already prepared at this moment. He raised his hand, and a small crossbow appeared in his hand at some point. The sound of the bowstring vibrating rang out, and a silver-white crossbow arrow was shot at the back of the fleeing soldier. But the soldier seemed to have a Reflex specialty, and his body twisted strangely while running at high speed, barely dodging the silver arrow and then disappearing into the darkness.
"Sh * t, it's either the Assassins' Guild or the Rogues' Guild." Antis rubbed his brow, extremely unhappy. "When did he sneak into my team?"
Then he turned to look at Roland and Andonara. "Sorry, that really wasn't one of my people. I didn't mean to attack directly."
Roland didn't say anything.
Andonara put down the longsword in her hand, the corners of her mouth pursed into a sneer.
If she hadn't reacted quickly just now, that arrow would have hit Roland's forehead directly.
It was said that the Golden Sons were immortal, but people would always feel pain and discomfort.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Antis sighed and continued, "I'm a member of the royal family anyway, so of course I have the right to capture you, Roland. There's no need to be so hostile to me."
"If you hadn't brought people to block the way, Roland wouldn't have been in danger." Andonara snorted.
Antis, on the other hand, looked at her strangely. "Your Highness, are you speaking for Roland?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Antis frowned. "You weren't held hostage by him?"
"Held hostage?" The queen sneered. "You can say that, if I don't want to, no one my age can hold me hostage. Even you, a so-called once-in-a-century Warrior genius, are no match for me. "
Naturally, Antis didn't believe it, but he spoke with propriety. "I've always heard that the queen is a powerful female warrior. Of course, I'm no match for you."
"You don't mean what you say." The Queen smiled and shook her head.
Antis shrugged, not embarrassed that his thoughts had been seen through. Instead, he looked at Andonara curiously and asked, "If Her Highness isn't being held hostage, why is she still heading out of the capital? Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by His Majesty? "
"I don't need him to misunderstand. I'm eloping with a man."
Antis widened his eyes.
Roland coughed in fright.
"No, I didn't, don't believe it." Roland hurriedly explained, "Her Highness and I are innocent."
The Queen looked at him resentfully. "You've clearly seen my body."
He did see everything … Roland opened his mouth, but was suddenly rendered speechless.
Antis was so worried that he pressed his forehead. He himself was a member of the nobility, so he knew very well how chaotic the private lives of the nobles were. It was just that there were some things that everyone understood in their hearts. It was not good to say it out loud. There were more than a hundred city guards behind him, and everyone had heard it. The more people there were, the more mouths there were. Did they have to kill all the city guards to hide the news?
That was impossible!
"As long as Her Highness isn't being held hostage." Antis thought for a moment and made a prompt decision, not wanting to get involved in this mess anymore. "Then I'll go back to the capital first."
"You're not taking me back?"
Antis shook his head. "My duty is only to be responsible for the safety of everyone in the capital. Your Highness, since you're not being held hostage, it's your freedom to act however you want, and I can't control that. "
He waved his hand and was about to go back with his men.
As he passed by Roland, he suddenly turned his head and said, "I was quite impressed with you. Kaka died, and you were willing to come back to avenge him. You're a character. But I didn't expect that before you got your revenge, you'd be obsessed with beauty first. The Queen is not an ordinary noble woman. If you occasionally have an affair once or twice and don't let too many people know, maybe His Majesty will turn a blind eye. But if you directly take someone away, things will get very troublesome. The royal family is also shameless. "
It seemed that the other party really misunderstood.
Roland sighed inwardly, but such a misunderstanding was hard to resolve.
Because of the mission, he had to escort the Queen away. Besides, even if there was no mission, a poor woman who might be executed tomorrow was in front of him, and he had to save her no matter what.
As long as he took the Queen away, the affair between the two of them would almost be confirmed.
This would not only affect his reputation among the NPCs, but there was even a great possibility that he would be "wanted" by the royal family.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
In reality, he couldn't be such a hero because of his scruples about his own life, about his family, and other factors.
But in this game, in this world … there was no threat of death, no family to worry about, and in this situation where there were almost no burdens, if he wasn't willing to stand up and protect a "weak woman," he would really have grown a handle for nothing.
So he didn't care about Antis's misunderstanding and persuasion. "It's a little troublesome, but it's much better than having a guilty conscience all the time."
"Having an affair with someone and eloping, that's what a guilty conscience really is, isn't it?" Antis subconsciously felt that something was wrong and asked rhetorically.
Roland chuckled. "Think whatever you want."
Antis stared at Roland deeply for a while, then finally waved his hand and left with his soldiers.
After Antis left, Andonara walked to Roland's side and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you? Or are you willing to make out with me? "
Roland said helplessly, "It doesn't really matter to me whether others misunderstand or not. But you should have restrained yourself when you spoke just now, and almost got Antis into a fight because of your nonsense. They have a lot of people, and if they got into a fight, I might not be able to protect you. "
"I'm not afraid, I'll protect you." Andonara smiled and said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Didn't I say that no one in the entire capital is a match for me? Although Antis has a lot of people, it won't take long for me to kill them all. "
Roland naturally didn't believe it. "Your Highness, you're quite a braggart."
"You don't believe me?" Andonara's expression looked mischievous.
Roland shrugged.
"Then I'll show you half of my strength."
After Andonara said this with a smile, she pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword, and then with a clang, the woods on her right were all cut in two.
Trees of all sizes fell, and thirty meters in front of her, in a fan-shaped range of about eighty degrees, everything was cut off.
"I can use this kind of attack at least ten times a day."
Roland froze for a moment, then slowly closed his gaping mouth.
No wonder the Great Swordsman was also one of the three officially certified bugged professions.
This power, this attack speed … Who exactly was protecting whom?
Without the protection of F6, the queen could fight her way out of the capital by herself.
After a while, Roland looked at her and asked, "Can I use my mental power to detect your rank?"
"Of course."
The queen closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly upward, as if she were at his mercy.
