The two soldiers looked at Gibran's back worriedly. They were in the wrong. They knew that Sunier was Julia and Edwina's friend, and they had tricked Julia and Edwina out of greed for the three magic crystals. Now that their plot had been exposed, they felt guilty towards Julia and Edwina, so they couldn't persuade Gibran, nor did they have the right to blame Julia for being heartless.
It was a magician wearing a black magic robe. He looked at Gibran, then said to Julia with a bitter face, "Julia, you can't blame Gibran. It was all my idea. You know how important the dragon crystals are to me. I really wanted those three magic crystals. Actually … Gibran didn't want to take this mission, but I insisted!"
"Kane, we've known each other for so long. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?" Julia sneered. "You don't seem to have any desire for profit. Sometimes I find it strange. How did you become a ninth-grade magician?! Do you really want to say that this was all your idea? "
Julia's words pierced Kane's heart. If this ninth-grade magician didn't have a strong desire for profit, then who had a strong desire for profit? Whose idea was all this?
Kane was speechless. He wasn't usually good with words. Julia's words were so sharp that he didn't know how to explain himself.
Suddenly, Han Jin, who was sitting there quietly as if he was watching a play, turned his head and looked at the southeast corner of the forest. Immediately after, the magician named Kane also sensed something. He hurriedly cast a magic shield on himself and turned to the southeast corner. The members of the Red Vanguards were all experienced mercenaries, and they cooperated well with their companions. Although they didn't notice anything strange, they knew what they had to do when they saw Kane's actions. Only Gibran seemed to be in a daze. Léger had already disappeared into thin air. As a high-grade thief, Gibran was still staring at Julia.
Three figures walked out of the forest side by side. They were all Warriors, but their positions were a bit strange. They walked side by side, which meant that they were on the same side. However, they kept a certain distance from each other, as if they didn't completely trust each other.
"It's so lively." The warrior in the middle smiled and said, "Gibran, I didn't expect you to be interested in this mission too."
The warrior's words had a deep impact on Gibran. As the leader of the Red Vanguards, he might not be the strongest, but he had to be the calmest and most meticulous person. Unexpectedly, Gibran suddenly roared. His voice was hoarse, and there was a strange tremor to it. His entire face was severely distorted, and he looked very ferocious. "Scram! Scram!! "
The soldier didn't expect Gibran to not give him any face at all. His expression changed, and he said coldly, "Gibran, open your eyes and look at the situation now! We've already formed an alliance with the Red Light Mercenary Group and the Free Eagles Mercenary Group. As for the three dragon crystals, we'll take one each! If you're smart, get out of the way and don't get in our way. We're still friends. If you don't want to be smart, then from now on, there will be no more Red Vanguards in Isolated Cliff City! "
As soon as the warrior finished speaking, a group of vague figures appeared in the dense forest. They couldn't estimate the exact number, but there were at least a few hundred of them.
This time, it was the Red Vanguards' turn to be nervous. Two warriors stood in front to protect Kane, while Edwina, Julia, and Sunier quickly approached Yalina. Yalina was their primary target, and no matter what kind of conflict happened, the enemy would definitely point their spear at her in the end!
The battle was about to break out, but Gibran's slightly trembling body suddenly stabilized miraculously, and his expression gradually calmed down. He quietly looked at the three warriors in front of him and didn't say a word.
"What do you think, Gibran? Gibran, do you want to be an enemy or a friend? "The Warrior enunciated each word clearly.
Gibran suddenly turned his head to look at Julia. For Julia, he could give up this mission, but Julia was now standing with his target. Obviously, as long as Sunier was here, they would have to fight side by side with Sunier! What should I do? A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Just a moment ago, he was preparing to attack these people, but now he had to protect them? This world is so funny!
Han Jin yawned lazily. It was really incomprehensible that he would yawn in such a tense atmosphere. However, neither the Red Vanguards nor the mercenaries paid attention to Han Jin. In their eyes, Han Jin was just a pitiful little character, or even a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Who would pay attention to a lamb?
But here, Han Jin was the absolute center of attention. Seeing Han Jin's leisurely attitude, the young magicians suddenly felt very safe. Their nervousness and panic all disappeared. They were confident that they could face any challenge, although they didn't know where this confidence came from.
"Raphael … He's actually in the mood to yawn!" Sunier didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Was he like this before?" Yalina asked with a smile.
"No, he used to be nervous, scared, and angry." Sunier narrowed her eyes, as if she was recalling something. "But … I don't know when he became like this."
"That's because he's been growing at an unimaginable speed. He's qualified to be like this." Yalina sighed. She more or less knew some stories about Han Jin. In just over a year, Han Jin had turned from a destitute little noble into a real powerhouse. This speed was unimaginable! At least, she couldn't maintain her pride and confidence in front of Han Jin. Not to mention that Han Jin had saved her several times. One had trained hard for more than ten years, while the other had only used one year. What was there to be proud of?!
"You don't seem to be … afraid at all?" Sunier looked at Yalina with some surprise. In the past, Yalina would have already begun to release magic in a frenzy, attacking everything that threatened her. But now, Yalina clearly had some things that she didn't have before, such as patience and calmness.
"What am I afraid of?" Yalina's gaze slowly turned to Han Jin. "He said that he would protect me."
People really shouldn't speak carelessly. No matter how sincere Han Jin was when he made the promise, Yalina remembered it firmly. But no one knew how long she would remember it. Now? How many days? Or maybe forever!
Julia and Edwina were both surprised and inexplicable, and their gazes turned to Han Jin at the same time. Who was this person? How dare he boast that he would protect a magus?!
Han Jin looked up at the sky, then stood up and said indifferently, "Do you still want to fight?"
The warrior on the opposite side suddenly looked at Han Jin, and said with a grim smile, "Fight!"
"Are we really going to fight?"
"Kid, do you think we brought a few hundred people here to sightsee?" The warrior said contemptuously, then looked at Gibran. "Gibran, if you step aside, we can still be friends! As for the dragon crystals, the three of us will give you some compensation. "
"Gibran, listen carefully, we're not afraid of you!" Another warrior said coldly. "Although we're not friends, we're still familiar with each other. If we take a step back and give you compensation, you have to take a step back and don't make it difficult for us!"
Gibran lowered his head sadly, then waved his hand, and the members of the Red Vanguards all retreated upstream. Obviously, they didn't want to interfere. But just as they lowered their heads and swam upstream, their eyes flashed with a cold, ferocious light!
In fact, the development of the situation was very abnormal. The most terrifying person here wasn't Gibran or the mercenary leaders, but Yalina! It was normal that no one thought highly of Han Jin. Han Jin and the others had been unknown in Isolated Cliff City, but it was difficult to understand why they looked down on a magister.
It could only be said that the messenger sent by Lord Forsa in Fatto City was too good at advertising. In his description, Yalina was a clumsy magister with no actual combat experience, and she was almost killed by a thief who was much weaker than her. Every year, a large number of rookies joined the mercenary team. As experienced mercenaries, they knew how naive and childish the rookies were. In their eyes, Yalina was just a relatively powerful rookie, but no matter how powerful a rookie was, she was still a rookie! Chipango's mercenary team was only a second-rate one, but they dared to have designs on Yalina. This was the power of advertising!
All the mercenaries ignored the fact that Yalina had become a magister at such a young age. In addition to her talent and the support of her family, her intelligence and perception were extraordinary. She didn't realize her shortcomings before, so naturally, she couldn't make any progress. Now that she had experienced so much, how could she continue to be ignorant? The ordeal of coming back from the dead was enough to change an ordinary person, let alone Yalina, who was amazingly intelligent!
"How long can you hold on?" Han Jin turned around and asked with a smile.
"Shouldn't you be the one holding on?" Yalina didn't want to accept Han Jin's suggestion. She wanted to release powerful magic and blast these arrogant guys into pieces!
"I can't hold on. There are too many of them." Han Jin shook his head.
"You're so straightforward …" Yalina laughed and then paused. "Very long." If she only released a defensive shield and kept it running, she was confident that she could hold on for a long time.
"Then I'm relieved." Han Jin waved his hand, and suddenly, an extremely dazzling sharp light appeared between heaven and earth. Compared to this sharp light, the noon sun seemed very dim. Except for a few powerful mercenaries who could barely control themselves, most people couldn't help but close their eyes.
