"Aluer, how are things going?"
A woman's voice sounded out from the ordinary carriage.
"It's pretty much been taken care of."
Hearing the lady's voice coming from the carriage, the middle-aged knight from before said respectfully, "Based on what we expected, most of these people will leave our team to distract the enemy."
"We only need to create the illusion that you're hiding among these troops. Even if the enemy knows that there's a problem, to prevent Lady Amelia from leaving just like that, they will definitely send people to intercept you. This will reduce the number of enemies we have to face."
"Mm, you've done well."
The woman's voice once again sounded out, "Remember to be more vigilant during this period of time. Once we reach Calm Wind City, we'll be safe."
"Yes."
The middle-aged Knight named Aluer nodded, and after saying a few words to the woman, he walked to the side, preparing to take care of other matters.
On the other side, there was a similar conversation going on.
In a corner, an old man and a young man looked around with grave expressions.
"Teacher, the situation here doesn't seem right. Should we leave?"
Standing there and looking at the old man, the young man asked, "The Hand of the Wild Wind is a famous bandit group in this area. It's said that their leader is a top-tier Great Knight, and he was known as the Gale Knight on the battlefield. He killed three Great Knights of the same level by himself.
"With such strength, if he personally brings people out, we probably won't be a match for him."
Looking at his teacher, the young man said hesitantly.
Hearing his words, the old man in front of him frowned.
Even though Knights were nothing in the eyes of powerful Magi, this did not include some extremely powerful Great Knights.
At the end of the day, the two of them were only level 2 Acolytes. If they were facing Knights or ordinary Great Knights, it would be fine. However, if they were surrounded by a top-tier Great Knight, or even many Knights, they would not have an easy time.
"Let's wait and see."
After thinking for a long while, the old man still felt somewhat unwilling, and he gritted his teeth, "It wasn't easy for us to obtain information on the Scarlet Sword; if we just leave like this, it would be too much of a pity.
"It's good that the Hand of the Wild Wind is here. With them holding back the Overseers, it'll be easier for us to make our move."
He looked at the middle-aged Knight in the distance and said in a low voice.
By the side, the young Acolyte also slowly nodded, looking just as unwilling.
What they didn't realize was that while they were talking, a young man was silently watching them from the side. At this moment, his mind was also moved.
"Scarlet Sword?"
Standing in the distance, listening to the conversation between the two apprentices, Adil's heart stirred. "I heard that someone found a few magic artifact blueprints in the ruins, and among them was information on how to refine the Scarlet Sword. I didn't expect it to appear here."
This was something Adil had heard a long time ago.
It had to be said that although the ruins of the Ancient Sorcerers were dangerous, there were indeed many good things inside.
Before the ruins of the Southern Continent had been sealed, many items had been unearthed from within, including information on the refinement of several high-grade magic artifacts, which had caused a huge uproar in the past.
The information on the forging of the Scarlet Sword had also been unearthed at that time, but something had happened to it after it was unearthed. Someone had taken it, and it had appeared here in his heart.
"Not only is the Scarlet Sword a high-grade magic artifact … it can also be used as a weapon. It's very rare. In terms of value, it's already comparable to some low-grade magic artifacts."
Standing in place, Adil looked at the carriage in the distance, "Since I've come across such a high-grade item, I can't let it go."
He looked at the crowd in the distance and made a decision.
The next day, when the sky gradually brightened, the group set out again.
At noon, the group arrived in front of a small town.
At this point, many people who were originally following the group chose to leave, each taking their own items and walking in different directions.
After leaving these people, the number of people in the group was reduced by almost half, leaving only 300 people.
The peaceful days lasted for a few days. After a few days, on the road in the wilderness, the situation began to change.
The scenery in the distance quickly floated past, and after a series of footsteps, the surroundings suddenly became deathly silent.
"They're here?"
Seeing the abnormality in the surroundings, the middle-aged Knight named Alur's expression did not change, and he looked forward in Silence.
In that direction, heavy footsteps could be heard unceasingly.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a silver-white armor, there were quite a few scars on his face, but he was very handsome. Right now, riding on a white horse, he looked very charming.
"Gale Knight, Phunon …"
Looking at the mighty middle-aged man in the distance, Alur lightly frowned, "I didn't expect it to really be you …"
"Hand over the item."
Phunon who was wearing a silver-white armor said coldly, "The news has already been leaked, you guys won't be able to protect that thing."
"Even without us, there will still be others who will come to stop you."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Alur's expression was calm, listening to the other party's words, a confused expression appeared on his face.
"Seems like, if we don't fight, you won't hand over the item honestly."
Looking at Alur, Phunon's expression was cold, he looked mighty and decisive.
In the next moment, he decisively made his move. A silver-white light streaked across in front of him, and a silver-white longsword was quickly pulled out by him. Bringing along a white dou qi, the sword slashed onto Alur's body.
"Grand Knight!!!"
Looking at the white dou qi, there was a burst of shocked exclamations.
Bang!
Another white dou qi quickly lit up and instantly rushed forward, canceling out the white sword light in front of him.
Alur's expression was solemn, on the black longsword, there was a faint white lingering around. Impressively, he was also a Grand Knight.
Before the people on the scene could exclaim, an unforeseen event suddenly happened.
An electric arc with dense energy particles rushed over in an instant, and before Alur could react, it smashed onto his body, knocking him down to the ground.
The place fell into dead silence.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, almost thinking that they were hallucinating.
A Grand Knight, no matter where he was, was a top figure. As long as he did not meet a strong person of the same level, he could almost run rampant. But now, he was easily knocked down from his horse, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
A trace of blood slowly slid across.
Under everyone's gaze, Phunon's expression was cold. He walked to the front, and with a light slash of his silver-white longsword, a head flew out, leaving behind a headless corpse.
After doing all this, he walked to the side. A middle-aged man in leather armor, who looked no different from a normal knight, looked very respectful. "Sir Wollen, it's been taken care of!"
In front of him, the middle-aged man in leather armor nodded, and then, under the protection of a knight, rode his horse to the front.
"Amelia, your guard has been taken care of. Why don't you come out?"
The middle-aged man called Wollen rode his horse to the front, his expression cold.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, there was a new movement in front of them.
Under Adil's gaze, a very beautiful young girl in a black dress walked out of the carriage, holding a scepter in her hand.
"As a Magus, you have to use a sneak attack on a normal Grand Knight. Is this the style of the Armand Family?"
Right after walking out of the carriage, she looked at the headless corpse under her feet, and her expression immediately became somewhat ugly.
"You aren't any better … Others might not know your background, but how could I not know?"
Wollen's expression was cold, "Hand over the item."
Hearing this, Amelia revealed a cold smile, "If it was you, would you choose to hand over the item?"
Boom!!
A swift and violent lightning ball streaked across the surrounding space, exploding a few large holes in the originally flat ground.
This Magus called Wollen was obviously a person of action. Right now, after seeing that the other party had the intention to refuse, he did not say anything and directly rushed over and cast a spell.
Streaks of lightning continuously flashed in the surroundings, turning into chains that wrapped around Amelia.
Facing this, Amelia's expression changed, and her body instantly turned into a shadow, concealing herself in the surroundings.
"Veil of Shadows? No, it's a magic artifact … "
Looking at the other party's means, Wollen muttered to himself, and his hand moved again.
A bit of white light escaped from his hand, followed by a slight shattering sound, and a pure crystal ball directly exploded, emitting an indescribable undulation.
Being enveloped by this light at such a close distance, the layer of shadow protection on Amelia's body immediately disappeared, and on the scepter in her hand, a gem immediately dimmed, looking like it had lost its original effect.
Boom!!
A lightning ball rushed over, heavily smashing onto Amelia's body, and the exploding electric arcs wrapped around her entire body, causing her to be unable to move for a moment.
Looking at her appearance, Wollen's expression was cold, and he pulled out a black dagger from his waist. The dagger had a faint green luster on it, and directly stabbed down.
His speed was very fast, and before the other party could even react, the dagger had already pierced deeply into her flesh, bringing forth a flower of blood.
"Caught you …"
Being directly stabbed by the dagger, Amelia's face revealed a strange smile.
In an instant, her body began to swell, and granules began to grow in her flesh. They began to follow the other party's hand, extending towards the other party's body, looking like she wanted to grab the other party.
A silver-white aura suddenly flashed, and at this moment, it directly split half of Amelia's body, revealing the bones within.
Taking this opportunity, Wollen directly stretched out his hand, and directly stabbed Amelia's heart, taking out a faint green crystal from within.
"Go!!"
