Dusk, Field Moor.
There were more than 15 of these sneak attackers, they were running fast, and they scattered in all directions at the first time. When Link controlled the Gale Wolf and ran up the mound, the fastest runner was already more than 50 meters away.
That's not all, these guys also took advantage of the ups and downs of the terrain to avoid Link's vision very skillfully.
Link looked around, and rushed decisively towards a black figure at the front.
During the sneak attack just now, the opponent's commander said a total of two words, and said it in the crowd. The black leather armor on these sneak attackers was also exactly the same, but Link locked on the commander from the fighting spirit.
In the wilderness, this black-armored sneak attacker ran like a desperate man, and sometimes looked back, looking a little panicked.
The distance between Link and him quickly shortened, 50 meters, 45 meters, 40 meters... There was already a plain ahead, and there was no terrain to hide from, Link was ready to shoot.
But at this moment, Celine in her arms suddenly yelled loudly: "Link, stop! Stop! It's dangerous!"
Link looked at the appearance of the sneak attack, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart, because the other party was too flustered, which was completely different from the calmness when he commanded the sneak attack just now.
This made Link feel that this guy was acting.
At this time, Celine shouted again, and Link immediately controlled the Gale Wolf to stop.
As soon as he stopped, Link felt a faint breath of magic energy coming from the ground in front of him. With a thought, an eagle eye spell was blessed on him, and he looked at the ground carefully, and he was suddenly taken aback.
Through the gaps in the gravel that was used as a cover on the ground, Link saw a dark color, with a very faint dark aura coming from it, and felt carefully that this turned out to be a dark magic circle up to level 6 !
If he hadn't been reminded by Celine, he might ignore the breath and rush through the magic circle. As long as his reaction slowed down for a moment, the sudden explosion of the magic circle would seriously injure the two of them!
Link was terrified for a while.
After such a delay, he looked around again, but there were no sneak attackers. These guys had hidden their abilities before, and once they found that the final ultimate move had failed, they immediately ran away without a trace in a short period of time. gone.
This speed is really ridiculously fast, not worse than the dark ghosts in the Black Forest.
Who are these guys? How much power did they arrange? Link still hasn't figured it out yet. Although Vivier's name was on the magic letter, in Link's view, it was most likely just a means of blaming the attackers.
"It's really sinister!" Link frowned slightly, then he backed away tens of meters, and then released a glass bead towards the dark magic circle on the ground.
'Boom! 'The magic trap was triggered, and a 5-meter-thick blue pillar of fire rushed out of the ground like a volcanic eruption, and rushed to a height of 30 meters before dissipating slowly. Even at a distance of tens of meters, Link could still Feel the heat.
"Level 6 magic fire of the abyss." Link took a long breath and felt that Celine's body was trembling. Also use the conveyor belt to get you off."
"Yeah." Celine nodded lightly, she turned to look at Link: "Will my nightmare come true?"
Now she understands her new power a little bit. She finds that when faced with danger that is close at hand, a very, very strong premonition will appear in her mind, and even a clear picture will appear. At that moment just now, she saw It was only when the phantom of the dark blue magic fire suddenly shouted out.
Link said with certainty: "No, from the moment you told about your nightmare, the future has already begun to change."
While speaking, Link looked in the direction of the harbor. In that direction, he couldn't feel any aura of the elf princess Mirda, so naturally he couldn't follow her.
Link manipulated the Gale Wolf to run back to the previous low-lying land, walked around the area, and observed it carefully.
"There are 35 crossbow arrows on the ground. The opponent shot 22 arrows in the attack just now, and 13 arrows should have been launched when Mirdad passed by, but there is no magic left here, and the two high elves seem to have disappeared out of thin air. ... wait, this is blood!"
As soon as Link thought about it, a few pieces of gravel on the ground flew to him. He looked down at the blood stain, which was dark red, just like the human race, and then sniffed it under the tip of his nose. There was a special scent of grass and trees.
"It's the blood of the high elves, they should be injured."
"But where did they go?" Celine asked with a slight frown.
"It should be teleportation magic, but the longest distance of teleportation magic will not exceed one kilometer. After that, the other party will definitely continue to escape, but I don't know which direction to go."
Don't look at one kilometer away, but since the opponent is injured and is in a state of running for his life, he will definitely do everything possible to hide his aura, and will stay away from the battle location as soon as possible. Right now, it's really hard for them to find each other.
Link estimated that at this moment Mirda might even think that he was the mastermind behind the assassination, so she would do her best to avoid him.
But the problem is, at this moment, those assassins must be looking for them, and they are still injured. Once they are found, they are afraid that they will be finished.
The man disappeared in his territory, and Mirda is the eldest daughter of the High Elf Queen, and the first candidate for the next Elf Queen. If he doesn't find her, the High Elf will be in trouble.
After contemplating for a while, Link turned around and ran towards the coastline.
He now has the blood of the High Elf, which he can't use, but Wayans can track it based on the blood. As long as he determines the location of Mirda, he can find it all the way.
Thinking of this, Link accelerated the speed of the Gale Wolf, and was about to go to Waynes.
However, after running a few steps, Link stopped again. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around and rushed back towards Scorched Earth Ridge.
"Aren't you planning to go to Wayans? How did you go back?" Celine is really a smart girl. Although Link didn't say what his intention was, she had already guessed what he was thinking.
Link shook his head and said: "I came back temporarily this time, so the other party's sneak attack must be a temporary arrangement, but your nightmare indicates that the territory will face great danger. In order to save a high elf princess, set up a territory of 8,000 It's not worth the risk of many people's lives."
Refugees from the Dronga Kingdom in the south continued to go north, and the merchant White also continued to send slaves. The population of the territory rose sharply, and now it is close to 10,000.
"However, the high elf princess is mainly dead, so the trouble will be big."
"It's true that there is a lot of trouble, but the High Elf has more than one princess." Link had already thought very clearly.
This sneak attack was temporarily arranged by the opponent. The opponent arranged an ambush and drew a level 6 magic circle in a short period of time.
Since Mirdad is facing such a lore situation, then Romussen's side is relatively safe. At this moment, he is estimated to have been chased back by the two masters.
This Romsen would be Link's perfect alibi. Because they came back from the East Valley all the way, Link was with them, and there was no time to arrange a kill.
Because of this idea, Link resolutely gave up rescuing the high elf princess and chose to protect his own territory instead.
It's still the same principle, political matters, only talk about interests. As the lord of this land, Link is only responsible for the safety of his subjects.
The way back was very smooth. At the speed of Gale Wolf, the two arrived at the east gate of the camp in about five minutes.
At this time, it was already dark, the east gate was closed, and there were a large number of soldiers patrolling back and forth on the stone wall. Seeing these things, Link cast a flash spell on himself, illuminating his figure.
"it's me."
As he said that, Link did not wait for the soldiers to open the door, and manipulated the Giant Wind Wolf to jump up. The moment the giant wolf's body just vacated, he blessed another lightness technique on the Giant Wolf Mountain, so the giant wolf's jump was full Leaping more than 20 meters high, Shengsheng jumped over the stone wall of the camp and entered the camp.
The security in the camp was nearly twice as high as before. After Link arrived, he immediately canceled the Gale Wolf, and at the same time whispered to Celine: "Follow me closely, don't get lost."
He now feels that the entire Scorched Earth Ridge is not safe.
"I know." Celine followed closely behind Link.
After walking a few steps, Gridan greeted him, and Link asked, "Is Master Glenn Xi back?"
Gridan said good news: "Master Glentin, Master Fontelaine, and that high elf named Romussen are all back."
Link was refreshed when he heard this: "Very good. Where are they now?"
"In the residence of Master Glentin."
Link felt relieved, and asked again: "Where is Doras, is he back?"
Gridan's face became a little dull: "There has been no shadow. He must be in the camp at this time. I don't know where he went today."
"I see." Link couldn't do anything about it, such a big tiger was too fast, and it was getting dark again, where could he find it? Can only hope he is safe.
Link took Shilin to the mage's residential area in the Scorched Earth Ridge. The Scorched Earth Ridge was very small, with a radius of only a few hundred meters. Three minutes later, Link arrived at the gate of Master Glennxi's residence.
'Tuk Tuk Tuk' knocked on the door, and the door opened quickly. Glenn Xi's old face appeared behind the door. He turned his eyes around Link and Celine, but he didn't see the high elf princess. He frowned slightly. Wrinkled, said softly: "What happened?"
Link nodded and took out the blood-stained stone: "Celine and I chased all the way out, and encountered an ambush on the way. After repelling the assassin, I found this on the ground. The situation shows that Princess Mirdad or Alar beside him was injured. Injured, and then they used the teleportation technique to escape, as for where they are now, I can't find them."
"Come in and say." Glenn Xi moved away.
When he got to the house, Link saw Romussen. The high elf's face was a little pale, and there were bloodstains on his arms. Finally, he asked hoarsely, "Where is your Highness? Why hasn't she come back?"
"When I arrived, I only found this." Link placed all the blood-stained stones he had collected on the table.
Romussen's face turned even paler. He sniffed the blood one by one. He didn't know what method he used. Half a minute later, he said in a hoarse voice: "Alar is dead, his blood has no aura. The princess is still alive, but I was seriously injured... No, I'm going to find her now."
"How did you find it? You must have met an assassin, how can you deal with more than 15 assassins by yourself?" Link asked.
"Are there 15 of them?" Romussen's face was so pale that he lost all blood. When he encountered four assassins attacking him, he was close to death. If the two masters, Glenn Xi and Fontelin, hadn't arrived in time, he would probably have been killed. , now there are 15 assassins, I am afraid that he will be decapitated soon after leaving the camp.
However, the princess must not die. If the princess died while he was still alive, he would be a disgrace to the Losander family!
"I have to save people! The blood of the princess can guide me, and I can find her!" Romussen stood up, ready to go.
Just as Link was about to dissuade him, he heard a soldier's roar from outside the door: "The enemy..."
There was only half a sound, and the second half was strangled by some kind of force.
"Ah! Uh! Ah!"
A lot of screams came from outside the door, and the sound was so dense that it made one's scalp explode!
