Daphne and Adeline had never met Via, but upon hearing Popovdax's introduction, they were Caviehir's disciples...
After all, Daphne knows more than Adeline. Caviehir can be regarded as the most important reliance of the Byzantine royal family, and she knows something vaguely. Caviehir seems to have some mysterious power in her hands, and it is for the empire. Complete some special missions...
As soon as she heard that the glamorous woman with the iron face in front of her was Cavie Hill's disciple, Daphne's heart jumped, and she couldn't help but count on it a little more.
Along the way, although the two girls fled with Popovdax, they both knew in their hearts that this mysterious man was definitely not from the Byzantine Empire! And it seems that his attitude towards the Byzantine Empire is not very friendly, and he is not very respectful to his two royal highnesses.
It's just that the two girls were rescued by him, and there was no one else around to protect them, so they could only flee with this guy. But in the final analysis, he is not necessarily at ease in his heart.
A disciple of Cavie Hill appeared in front of him... A mysterious man, and a disciple of Cavie Hill, then with such a choice, there is no doubt who should be chosen.
Obviously, if you can leave with this disciple of Mr. Cavie Hill, it will be much safer than following this guy of unknown origin.
Via's expression was still so cold, just staring at Popovdax: "Here, or go out?"
Popov sighed, but suddenly raised his hands and pressed the shoulders of Daphne who was about to stand up. When he pressed it so lightly, Daphne suddenly felt half of his body numb, and he sat up. went back.
"Dear Via." Dax said in a leisurely tone: "Aren't you afraid of fighting in this city and alerting the defenders? You and I want to escape naturally, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy for these two highnesses to escape. Take it off?"
Via snorted and just sat there, but raised her brows slightly.
"Hey! What did you bastard say! Are you trying to kidnap us? Don't forget, you know you promised to escort us..."
Adeline heard the smell of gunpowder in the words of the two, and immediately reprimanded, but only halfway through, she felt Daphne pulling her hand below. Looking up, Daphne shook his head slightly to himself.
"I don't like giving up halfway." Dax shook his head: "I am now the protector of the two beauties..."
Via took a deep breath, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but finally nodded: "You're right, it's not easy to do things in the city."
After speaking, she actually stood up, glanced at Daphne and Adeline, nodded slightly, and then turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"Wait a moment."
Behind him, Dax said again: "Are you injured? I have told you many times before that your archery is too much to hurt your body."
"Killing, no problem." Via didn't look back and walked down the stairs.
After Via left the fire, Dax finally released the hand on Daphne's shoulder, then let out a light breath, grabbed the wine bottle on the table, and took a sip: "Unlucky, unlucky! How did you meet this ice woman here?"
Adeline's pretty face was full of anger, and she glared at Dax: "I saw that you are not a good person! It turned out to be the idea of hijacking us!"
Dax rolled his eyes directly: "I'm not a subject of the Byzantine Empire, and I'm not loyal to the Byzantine royal family, why should I obey you? Besides, I haven't received my reward yet... Hmph, your beautiful legs, And won't let me touch it..."
Adeline flushed with anger. If she didn't know that she was not this guy's opponent, she would have...
In my memory, I am afraid that even when I was with that turtle back then, I never felt so angry.
Daphne stared at Dax: "What are you going to do to us?"
"Of course I will continue to be your protector." Dax made such a shameless answer, and then smiled sinisterly: "What?"
"The one just now..."
"Ha! Do you think that Caviehir is really so loyal to your Byzantine royal family?" Dax shook his head: "You are not necessarily better in her hands than in mine."
Seeing that Adeline was still looking at the stairs, Dax put down the wine bottle: "Don't look at it... Don't worry, she will come again to grab people. This woman has a tough temperament, and is the first class I have encountered in my life. A tough opponent. She didn't do it just now, because this is the city, and the fight revealed her identity, and everyone couldn't get away. Hmph, the road behind us will be very lively. "
Adeline gritted her teeth: "She'd better come and save us early!"
"Rescue?" Dax's smile became more and more complicated. Looking at Adeline, he suddenly sighed and turned to look at Daphne: "Dear Your Highness, has this little princess always been so naive? It's so childish. She seems to think that I am a bad person, and the woman just now is a good person? Humph... Help? This word is not very accurate."
After a pause, Dax said in a low voice, "It might not be bad to say that she came to 'snatch' people. But 'rescue' is not to mention."
"You, what do you mean!" Adeline stared.
"What do you mean? I just want to tell you that good people and bad people are not written on their faces." Dax smiled, but turned his face away: "How come, I told you such a precious philosophy as a reward. , can you consider stretching out your beautiful long legs and letting me touch them?"
Adeline blushed immediately: "...You, I don't think you are a good person!"

The three quickly left the city through the north gate, and they didn't know what method this Dax used. When they came out of the city gate, they pulled out a pass from their arms like a trick, and they don't know when he got it. On this thing, there is a trace of the seal issued by the Besta Military Region.
After leaving the city, the three of them rode away from the main road to the north, but Dax chose all the paths to walk, and after walking for less than half an hour, he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness, the long-legged beauty, you are looking forward to it. people have come."
The three of them looked back and saw behind the road, a slender figure wrapped in a cloak, with purple hair fluttering, was slowly following behind the road step by step.
Wea's pace was a little staggering, and she looked limping. It was obviously very difficult to walk. Every step she took, she seemed to fall down at any time, but she was walking like this, but she followed behind the three riding horses. The ground maintains a distance of about 30 meters, not much, not much, and will not be dropped at all.
After walking like this for a while, and then looking back, Via is still 30 meters behind, not much, not much!
"Humph." Dax suddenly reined in the reins. He took out a dagger from his arms, rode his horse slowly to the side of the road, and casually reached out and climbed down a few branches. Suddenly, a golden light burst out, and with a swoosh, the branches were cut into several sections and fell on the ground, but they were not biased, and they were actually inserted on the soil.
"Let's go!" Dax's face showed a hint of arrogance, he turned his head and rode his horse and continued to move forward with the two girls.
After running for a while, Adeline was curious and looked back, only to see that Via behind had reached the position where the branches were inserted, and was squatting down, staring at those branches in a daze. I don't know what to look at, as if there are some profound things that need to be studied in the severed branches.
And then, Via stood up again and continued to follow, but this time the speed of following was slightly adjusted, extending the distance between the two sides to about fifty meters.
"Yi?" Dax frowned when he saw Via extending the distance to fifty meters: "She is so confident?"
Dax's face changed to a dignified expression, he thought for a while, snorted, pulled out the dagger, raised his hand and waved it, and with a bang, he cut off the horse's tail on his crotch. Come for a while.
A light wind blew past, and the severed ponytail flew out toward the back of the road.
Dax sneered and continued forward with the two women.
Via walked a few steps, and the wind blew a few bunches of ponytails over her head. She gently raised her hand and twisted one of them, brought it close to her, and carefully looked at the position of the incision. After two glances, Via remained silent. He threw away the ponytail in his hand, but slowed down a little again.
The distance between the two sides had changed to about 60 meters, but Via still followed in a hurry.
Dax's expression became more and more serious!
"What are these two people doing?" Adeline couldn't help but ask Daphne in a low voice, seeing the strange behavior of the two.
Daphne knew more than she did, and smiled bitterly: "Try."
"Try?"
"Um."
The princess looked worried: "This guy cut off the branches and cut off the ponytail, in fact, to show his strength to the disciple of Lord Caviehir behind?"
"Cut, cut branches to show strength?" Adeline was a little unconvinced.
Daphne smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know martial arts either. But I have heard people say that when martial arts are extremely advanced, the masters don't even need a real fight, and it can be roughly determined from a few clues. Judging the strength of the opponent. This guy slashed the branch with his sword, and the disciple of Lord Caviehir behind him can judge the strength and speed of the enemy and the level of swordsmanship from the cut in the branch."
Adeline seemed to understand, but she was still a little dazed.
Daphne whispered: "This guy next to us originally wanted to show his sword skills and let the other party retreat, but he didn't expect that the woman behind him would not be afraid of his sword skills..."
Adeline hated Dax in her heart, and naturally wanted to break away from his "protection". In her heart, no matter what, the disciples of Lord Caviehir were the ones who could be trusted.
After listening to Daphne's analysis, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Ha! It seems that this guy is going to have a headache. The master behind him is not afraid of him at all!"
The conversation between the two women fell into Dax's ears. The guy's face had long since changed from the stern smile he had before, with a gloomy face and a sneer: "Humph! woman."
He simply looked at Adeline generously, and then at Daphne: "His Royal Highness's guess is somewhat reasonable, but I'm not trying to scare her away by showing my power, just now this was just a contest between us. It's just the first steps."
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "I don't know how many times this ruthless woman has fought with each other. Everyone has a general understanding of each other's strength, but every time they meet again, after a period of time, everyone naturally improves. The secret fight just now was to test each other's strength."
Speaking of which, a hint of frustration flashed on Dax's face: "Unfortunately, her progress is greater than I expected... I thought I could force her to retreat 100 meters, but now she only retreats 60 meters... "
There was a hint of regret in his expression: "Alas, it seems that my life has been too comfortable and wasteful during this period of time."
Adeline didn't care about Dax's feelings, she just said unceremoniously: "It seems that you lost the fight with each other just now?"
Dax scratched his hair: "It can't be said that I lost, but it was a bit unexpected."
After a pause, he glared at Adeline: "Are you happy? Humph! Stupid woman, as I said earlier, this guy is here to rob people, but not necessarily to 'save' people."

"Drink! Drink!!"
The cries of the knights urging the horses came one after another, and the cavalry galloped north on the road.
Xia was in uniform and was at the forefront of the team. A Cai was the flag bearer behind him. Young Zaku's riding skills were quite good. He sat on a horse, holding the flagpole with one hand, and the eagle-headed flag fluttered. Behind it is a long cavalry like a long snake.
The outline of Denzel City could already be vaguely seen ahead.
Although he has considerable confidence in Green, with this famous general nicknamed "Mad Dog" in charge, even if Hastings really led the army to invade, Xiaya believes that with Green's ability, he can at least resist it for a while.
But after all, Hastings' Black Flag Army was famous and famous, and the troops in Denzel City were too few. On the way, I was still uneasy.
When he really saw the imperial eagle flag flying over Denzel City, Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Denzel City is still there, nothing has changed!
Behind him were more than a thousand horse thieves and cavalry, in addition to five thousand infantrymen and six thousand newly recruited recruits falling far behind, they were also heading towards Denzel City without stopping.
When Char finally decided to help Denzel City, he just did it to the end!
There were not many soldiers and horses in hand. Now that we have decided, we simply don’t leave many soldiers in Mesta City. Anyway, if the Odins really invaded, how many soldiers are left in Mesta City is meaningless. There is no difference between the next two or three hundred and the two or three thousand left.
It would be better to simply draw out almost all the troops, and concentrate the troops in Denzel City.
This time, with the army, Xi Ya left less than a hundred defenders in Mesta City. Before leaving, Xiaya secretly instructed the officer who stayed behind to allow them to surrender without resistance if the Odins invaded. Anyway, it is impossible for a hundred people to defend any city, so it is better not to waste your life in vain.
But just as Char Ya and his cavalry came to Denzel City first and were about to enter the city, Char Ya sat on the horse and suddenly glanced to the northeast, and his expression suddenly changed!
To the northeast outside the city, in a forest in the distance, a small group of cavalrymen slowly circled out. They were obviously Odin cavalrymen, but they were not riding reindeer, but horses.
From a distance, the number does not seem to be very large, but there are only a hundred and ten cavalry, but these hundred and ten cavalrymen have a standard bearer holding a banner...
Black Flag!
"Hasting, you are here after all!"
