Buzz--

A faint White light flashed, and the shield hanging on Observer Dominion's arm was pushed forward, and Head-Hunting Rabbit was forced back.

His legs slid uncontrollably for a distance.

"Hu~hu~"

Head-Hunting Rabbit opened his mouth and took a deep breath. He had just used several Martial Arts in one breath, and he could already feel the soreness and pain in the muscles all over his body.

However, compared to the physical impact.

Head-Hunting Rabbit was more aware of the dangerous situation he was in at the moment. The long ears on the top of his head were shaking. Without looking back, he already knew that Peace Authority Angel was chasing after him.

There is Observer Dominion in front, Peace Authority Angel behind, and two Fourth-Tier monsters, Angel, have blocked all his routes.

Faced with such a situation.

Head-Hunting Rabbit was very straightforward. He raised his hands above his head, spread out his calloused palms, and shouted cleanly in the direction of Tang Zheng: "I surrender!"

This monster!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Observer Dominion and Peace Authority Angel moved without any pause. In an instant, they had reached the front and rear positions of Head-Hunting Rabbit and flanked it.

The short-handled hammer exuding a faint White light and the Lancer staff were raised at the same time, followed by the sound of Tang Zheng:

"Let's wait and see if we can survive."

Holy Hammer!

Strike Evil!

The weapons in the hands of Observer Dominion and Peace Authority Angel swung down at the same time, and the shocking impact instantly surrounded the figures in the shadows.

Head-Hunting Rabbit's pupils were shrunk and covered with bloodshot eyes. He quickly raised his arms and aimed at the attacks in two directions, and said Roar:

"Dull Pain!"

"Strengthen Perception!"

"Strengthen Magic Resistance!"

"External Hide Reinforcement!"

"Invulnerable Fortress!"

Boom!

There was a huge roar and impact, followed by a cloud of blood mist and minced meat.

Poof--

A black shadow flew out from between Peace Authority Angel and Observer Dominion, then fell from the sky, hit the ground and rolled over.

Tang Zheng raised his foot and stepped on the black shadow. He lowered his head and looked at Head-Hunting Rabbit's bloody head. He shook his head in disappointment. "What a pity."

"If you can survive, I really don't mind having a good talk with you."

Oh?

Tang Zheng turned his head sideways, with a smile on his face, and looked at a figure in the distance to the left.

"You brat! Don't think you can defeat me with one blow, I am..."

Brain was holding a long sword in his hand, looking embarrassed but excited as he rushed from the direction where he was blown away, roaring.

But just in the middle of speaking, the voice stopped abruptly.

Brain stopped stiffly and looked at the two three-meter-high Fourth-Tier Angel behind Tang Zheng, which were suspended in mid-air and exuded a frightening aura.

Not long ago, he was knocked out by Peace Authority Angel. This was the second time he was defeated since "Royal Tournament" lost.

This gave Brain a feeling of excitement that he had not seen for a long time. The Peace Authority Angel was so powerful that he felt the pressure again.

And this is exactly what he has been pursuing!

So.

After Brain drank a bottle of the healing medicine he carried, he quickly rushed back because he happened to see Head-Hunting Rabbit being completely bombarded by two Fourth-Tier Angel.

Splatters of flesh and blood!

Let Brain close his open mouth again, and briefly look into Tang Zheng's smiling eyes.

Not a trace of hesitation!

Brain turned around and ran away, and even directly used Martial Arts to increase his speed to the extreme. In a flash, only his back was left.

He is looking for an opponent who can put pressure on him, but that doesn't mean he is looking for death.

Just one Fourth-Tier and Angel made him feel threatened. If there were two of them, he would definitely die!

Faced with Brain who ran away directly.

Tang Zheng was also stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face, looking at the quickly disappearing figure. "It really fits this guy's character."

"Forget it, let's save this guy's life for now."

Today's Brain has just been defeated by Gazef, and has just begun to get rid of his arrogance and unmatched mentality.

It would be a pity to die now before he has truly used his talents. He plans to obtain the Martial Arts developed by the other party from this guy Brain.

"Field" Martial Arts, Brain should not be mastered yet.

Talk about it.

Brain is indeed a Genius. In just a few years, it not only developed Martial Arts such as "Field" and "Flash Step", but even evolved it into stronger "Divine Domain", "Divine Flash", etc.

"Genius, if we don't squeeze it hard, we would be very sorry for such a talent."

Tang Zheng looked at the embarrassed figure of Brain that was gradually disappearing. The corners of his mouth curved up, revealing an intriguing smile.

Rather than spending time and energy on research yourself, wouldn't it be faster to let these New World Geniuss develop it for you?

When Tang Zheng took action before, he had already left a Magic Mark on Brain's body. From now on, he can keep track of Brain's movements at any time.

Waving arms.

The light spots of Peace Authority Angel and Observer Dominion turned into White and disappeared. At a glance, the corpses on the ground proved what happened just now.

Tang Zheng walked to the carriage and looked at Enri, who was still holding the dagger in his hands with a pale and stiff face. He chuckled and said, "Weren't you very brave just now? Why are you scared now?"

"Sir, my lord, I, my lord..."

Enri's voice became a little stuttering, and his pupils were red with fear and admiration.

The scene where the powerful Angel was summoned by adults just now made Enri couldn't help but think of those storybooks that he heard when he was a child.

"Ugh~"

Enri As soon as his tense nerves relaxed, the rich smell of blood surged into the air, making his stomach churn.

Even though Enri felt that she had realized the cruelty of adventurers and had even seen a lot of corpses, so many corpses still made her hands and feet weak.

Tang Zheng raised an eyebrow and turned his head in disgust. At the same time, he was a little impressed that Enri could persist until now.

There are many magic props on the bodies on the ground. Tang Zheng asked Barghest to collect these magic props.

Although he doesn't like these ordinary magic props, they can be exchanged for money or used by his subordinates.

After a while.

Enri huddled weakly in the corner of the carriage, Verdant Leaf Witch has also returned, and "Death-Spreading Sword Group" was all solved by Twin Witches.

Of all the people who were attacked, no one survived except Brain who escaped.

Gululu~

The wheels of the carriage crushed the rough ground and the blood that was dry and frozen on the ground, and continued to drive away.

Soon.

The large number of corpses alarmed the nearby villages and surrounding towns, and even spread to the nearby noble territories and the large city "Ye Lebull".

The largest territory in this area is the territory belonging to Marquis Raeven. All other small and medium-sized nobles are also controlled by Marquis Raeven.

The impact of dozens of corpses.

It is simply not comparable to the few scattered corpses before.

In addition to the officials and nobles of the Kingdom, other forces from various parties sent many people to investigate.

After determining that most of the deceased were members of a group of "Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group" with bad nature and wanted by the Kingdom.

All the nobles in this area breathed a sigh of relief. They continued to investigate and found that it was related to the adventurers, so they stopped the investigation directly.

After all, Adventurer's Guild is a force independent of the country.

As long as the people who die are not the people, the nobles will not waste time in this regard.

Even the consuls sent to various places from Royal Capital did not investigate further or issue unnecessary instructions after understanding the situation.

Instead, this information will be passed back to Royal Capital.

Naturally, the rest of the forces quickly came up with the results of the investigation. After all, the story was not complicated, but the results were somewhat beyond the expectations of all parties.

Information about the Gold Rank adventurer team "Free Will" began to appear on the tables of all parties.

Tang Zheng and his group were traveling at the same speed as usual, selling "Regeneration Potion" every time they came to a village or large city.

During this process, the attack did not happen again, as if all the Hunters who were targeting the bounty suddenly disappeared.

Dusk.

The light golden afterglow penetrated the clouds and mist and fell on the towering and majestic Royal Capital city wall, which was full of mystery and majesty.

Li Yestije Kingdom.

Royal Capital.

Located in the deepest part of the entire city, is the royal city "Lorenti" connected to the city wall and surrounded by more than 20 circular giant towers built at intervals.

Under the light of Dusk, you can vaguely see the huge magic array constructed by the magic lines reflecting the faint magic light on the city wall.

Located in the center of Royal City.

An exquisite and luxurious palace, it is not only located in the hinterland of Royal City, but also the place where many nobles and important ministers hold court meetings with the king - "Francia Palace".

In a multifunctional room with gorgeous decoration and full of majesty.

A figure with gray hair but delicately combed hair, an old face, and a thin body is sitting on the throne. He holds a scepter in his somewhat withered hand and wears Crown on his head.

This kind of dress and position all indicate the identity of the other party - Ramposa III!

At this moment!

Ramposa III's wrinkled cheeks showed faint fatigue, and Crown's head felt a little heavy. He had just finished a meeting and his energy was already a little low.

He ascended the throne at the age of 21 and is now 57 years old. Even among other countries, he is considered a long-lived king.

This is the age when the throne should have been handed over to a successor, but Ramposa III has no suitable successor in his heart.

Thinking of the secret tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sons, Ramposa III felt a little tired inside. It's not that the two princes were not good.

But in Ramposa III's eyes, once he abdicates, no matter which of his two sons ascends the throne, he may become the puppet of the great nobles behind him.

Ramposa III sighed inwardly. It was not only the problem of the successor, but also the internal problems of the Kingdom, as well as the war with the Empire over the years.

This series of events made Ramposa III feel inadequate because of his age.

Fortunately, it's not all bad things.

Ramposa III Several thoughts flashed through his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all and was still full of majesty.

He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the two standing figures standing below.

One is Gazef who won all the way through the "Royal Tournament" arena and was awarded the title "Warrior Captain" by him personally.

The other one defected from the Empire and joined the camp of the Kingdom. He was secretly called "Bloody Rose" and publicly called Lainas by all parties "Kingdom's Rose".

These two are rare Genius characters and are Kingdom's help.

Faintly.

Ramposa III can also see from behind the two of them another battlefield where "Royalist Faction" and "Nobles' Faction" are secretly competing.

This can be considered a good thing.

"You two already know the matter, and now it depends on your abilities."

"I hope to see both of you on the battlefield of the Empire next year."

Ramposa III A smile appeared on his wrinkled cheeks, and an old voice sounded slowly.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Gazef immediately bowed deeply and spoke respectfully.

Lainas acted somewhat calmly, bowing slightly and performing aristocratic etiquette.

The obvious difference in attitude between the two is not surprising in the eyes of Ramposa III. Compared with Gazef, a talent with a civilian background and little experience.

Lainas As a nobleman, it is extremely difficult to make him completely loyal.

However.

Ramposa III doesn't care either, because Lainas, as a traitor to the Empire, joins them Kingdom, so there is no third option.

Even if they defect again Kingdom, no other country will be willing to accept such people, and instead they will be hunted down by the two major countries.

So in a sense, Lainas is more reliable than Gazef.

Ramposa III nodded lightly and waved his dry palms, indicating that the two of them could leave.

Lainas and Gazef leaned forward again, retreated from the room, and walked towards the outside of the "Francia" palace.

The smooth ground and delicate passages reflected the figures of the two people.

Lainas had an expressionless face from beginning to end, looking indifferent and keeping strangers away.

Gazef, who was slightly behind, swallowed the words every time he wanted to speak, with a hint of embarrassment and helplessness in his expression.

The road ahead soon forked.

Lainas and Gazef paused in their footsteps at the same time, because a figure appeared in front of the fork in the road, blocking their way.

Even with Gazef's personality, he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this figure.

That is a very Beauty girl. Even if she stands there quietly, she is enough to attract anyone's attention.

She has long blond hair that flows smoothly down her white neck and hangs down her back. Her cherry-like pale pink lips pursed into a bright smile.

Deep blue eyes like sapphires looked at the two people with a soft light.

The simple White dress, with no extraneous decorations, makes this girl sacred and smooth.

Gazef After being in a trance, he quickly looked away, with a hint of panic in his eyes, lowered his head and saluted respectfully:

"Renner Princess."

Even if Gazef has never seen the other party, he can determine the other party's identity just by Beauty's appearance.

It is indeed the same as what I have heard, and it is worthy of the name of "gold".
