Chapter 77: The Lone Wolf's Raid
Siegs sneaked up near the Roland Empire Princess Guard, where most people were completely off guard, carefully selecting his target.
The welcoming party of the Vireia Empire was a fake, consisting of elite troops under his command and support troops disguised as the mysterious client who triggered this incident. The real deal had fallen into a deep sleep due to the strange magic of another mysterious support troop and was dragged away by the Lone Wolf members.
When the time comes to take action, this unit will also cast a similar curse spell on the guards at the first moment to weaken their combat effectiveness, and then hand it over to the thieves' group like wolves - this is not Sieg's first cooperation with that employer, from looting money and materials to assassinating nobles and high-ranking military personnel... Behind every shocking case done by Lonely Wolf in these years, there is a shadow of this employer, and the weak curse encountered by Eriol during the train incident was taught to Lonely Wolf by him.
But Sieg didn't like the other party because he was too mysterious, not even willing to reveal his name. What's more, through Lone Wolf's intelligence network, Sieg couldn't find out anything about the other party, which made him even more wary.
"Perhaps it's better to cut off all contact with the other party after this matter is settled." Siggs thought, suddenly realizing that he had lost his train of thought, and hastily shook his head to calm himself down.
Ignoring the two representatives who were still bickering with each other in the distance, Sieg moved his waist back and forth, finally fixing his gaze on a general who should be the commander of the Knights' army.
"Alright, alright, this noble is indeed cautious." The lone wolf, disguised as an official, smiled and took out a beautifully crafted identification document and a welcoming speech - taken from the real one - and walked towards the representative of the Roland Empire, "After seeing this, you should be at ease now, right?"
The representative, who had dealt with the Valtania Empire many times, naturally recognized this thing, and the vigilant expression on his face also faded. He reached out to take it, but stiffened halfway through the motion.
The other party had hidden a dagger under the document they were holding, and at this moment it was already inserted into their own vital part.
"Take action!" This was the last words heard before consciousness fell into darkness.
I guess I still sent you a bento after all... In the future, don't let the extras casually spit out my lines.
After receiving the signal, the mysterious unit in the Lone Wolf Corps immediately unfolded the magic that had been prepared for a long time. A mysterious black aura suddenly swept across the land, causing the Roland Empire's army on the opposite side to fall into extreme chaos.
Weakness, suffering, fear, confusion... Like the dark magic of the demon tribe on the land of despair a thousand years ago, various dark curses poured in from all directions towards the unprepared guard. Before the lone wolf thief team members could even shout and rush over, this unit was already on the verge of collapse.
No one had expected to encounter the blow of dark magic here, but the commander of the guard quickly calmed down and shouted: "Priests and light system mages, hurry up and dispel these spells! Elemental mages prepare to cast attack spells on them! Warriors..."
Sigurd's curved sword cut his throat before he could finish giving the order.
The lone wolf's charge was unstoppable as it broke through the front row of knights who couldn't even lift their lances, and then charged into the middle mage troops - the latter immediately dispersed, also hindering the rescue of the warrior troops in the rear who still maintained some combat effectiveness due to fewer cursed spells.
Seeing the situation was already settled, Sieg let out a soft hum and walked straight towards the princess's carriage.
At that moment, the intuition cultivated by years of being a thief sent out a warning to Sieg. He immediately jumped sideways with force and drew his curved knife, looking towards where he had just been standing.
A girl with short hair like a boy, holding two daggers, appeared there. She didn't say much and immediately launched a fierce continuous attack on Sieg after the sneak attack failed. But they were all easily resolved by Sieg.
"You, when did you get promoted to 5th rank!?" The girl jumped out of the combat circle and asked in astonishment after receiving a shallow cut on her left arm.
"Not long ago, it seems you've gained quite a bit from your trip to the underground, but still can't surpass me." Siegfried spun the curved knife in his hand and said, "So, this time the princess's secret bodyguard was indeed you, little junior sister?"
Granna took a glance at the unfavorable situation around her, gritted her teeth and shouted loudly without turning back: "Your Highness, hurry up and leave!" Then she continued to launch a fierce attack on Sieg, using all sorts of desperate moves!
Since the attack, the carriage that had been maintaining its dignity in silence was heavily pushed open. A beautiful girl with smooth pink long hair and wearing a formal royal princess dress with a white base and green edges held a staff and looked around with an expression of surprise. It was Sophia. She anxiously shouted loudly: "Granana? Is it you?"
On the battlefield, Granada and Siges were undoubtedly the most eye-catching presence. Sophia soon discovered her. Then this black-bellied woman did not take advantage of the chaos to escape with a long skirt, but instead raised her staff to launch a 2nd-level fire spell attack on Siges, helping Granada!
"Leave me alone and go quickly!" Granna cried out anxiously.
"Sophia took a deep breath and scolded, 'Do you want me to abandon my dormitory friends and run away alone?! Before entering Hope Garden, I would have done that when I was in the palace; but now, I've joined a student organization! Maybe some members of this organization are idle and have no sense of shame or bottom line, but - there's not a single person who would abandon their friends!' "
"Hmph!" Sieg said disdainfully, "Even with the addition of Your Highness, a 2nd-level wizard, you are still no match for me! I advise you to surrender quietly, lest either you or your little junior sister get hurt, which would be unfortunate."
"If Sofia alone is not enough, then what about us?!" A sudden female voice rang out from the side, and several people turned to look, only to see a girl with a red ponytail waving two single-handed swords rushing over - behind her, two mages, one male and one female, were throwing large amounts of elementary magic at Sieg; an elf also shot a string of arrows straight at his vitals.
"Ah!" Siegfried was suddenly flustered and at a loss for what to do.
"Seizing the opportunity, Xiaxi hastily shouted at the edge of the woods: 'Sophia, come quickly!'"
This time Sophia didn't hesitate, she quickly jumped down from the carriage and ran towards the crowd, then suddenly tripped just as she was about to reach Khasi's side - because it was a formal occasion, she was wearing high heels.
"Are you studying Mochizuki?" Kashi asked with a puzzled expression.
Since discovering Michelle's tendency to naturally power up and trip over her own feet after being deceived, Eriol and Sophia had been teasing her mercilessly. So when Kratos asked her like that, the disheveled Sophia who got up from the ground couldn't think of a comeback.
Li Hua and Granna coordinated with each other, retreating while fighting. If Sieg strikes Li Hua with all his might, he can definitely shatter her Dou Qi armor, but that also means Granna's fatal strike will arrive immediately in the next moment; if you attack Granna, do you think Li Hua and others' long-range support attacks on the side don't exist?
At this time, the warriors in the back row came to Sofia's side with a heavy price of about a dozen people - although they were all injured, but after all, they were elite 3rd-level warriors. Sieg saw that the kidnapping was hopeless and retreated, he wouldn't die with others, that wasn't the way thieves did things.
Although Sofia was temporarily preserved, the overall situation of the war was still one-sided.
Sophia sighed and said helplessly: "Let's go into the forest first to hide."
The lone wolf is just a band of thieves, not an enemy army. They only seek wealth and will not do such things as slaughtering prisoners, which is also the reason why Sophia decided to abandon her guard.
Seeing everyone agree, Sophia took off the high heels that were not conducive to action on her feet: "Okay, who will carry me? Or are you Sun Xiang? Don't worry, I won't mind."
Are you secretly laughing at me?!
Sun Xiang, who had been embarrassed to a great extent, waved his hands repeatedly - Big brother, do you know that you are refusing an imperial princess who will definitely become the queen in the future? Don't you see the expression on the face of the guard soldier beside us wanting to eat you alive?
Although Sun Xiang refused, everyone knows that there is another great, astonishing, admirable, unscrupulous and unprincipled ultimate existence here, which will make others worry about the chastity of this beauty if they are alone with a beauty for ten minutes.
"I'll carry you on my back!" Li Hua stood firm and unyielding, his right hand raised high as he shouted out loud.
After a moment of silence, Sophia found that Li Hua was the only suitable candidate - Sun Xiang was impossible; The surrounding soldiers didn't mind but Sophia hadn't planned to let an unfamiliar man carry her; Jiasi and Yuege's physical strength was doubtful; Only Li Hua, as a warrior, was the most suitable.
"If you dare touch any weird place, I won't let you off easily!" Sophia said with a gulp of water as Li Hua squatted down.
"Now I don't have the mind to think about that." Li Hua said, carrying Sophia on his back, "Just now, I smelled Alice's scent on that thief who was fighting with me. Alice would never let an unfamiliar man hold her unless she fell into that guy's hands!"
"What!?" The crowd was shocked.
Even Sophia couldn't help but ask: "Li Huayin, are you sure that's Eliya's scent?"
Li Hua said resolutely: "How could I possibly forget the smell on my own body!?"
"This isn't something you can say with a proud and smug expression, is it!?!" Sophia tightly grabbed Li Hua's ponytail and pulled it up strongly, "And what have your hands been touching since just now?! Are you sure you're really worried about Erihiya?!"
Li Hua reluctantly removed his hand from Sophia's buttocks.
