In the tent, Sylutia, who was originally sleeping peacefully, opened his eyes and sat up.
Although it was still quite far away from her, the sound was too obvious in the silent night, and Sylutia's keen perception forced her to hear it.
After sitting up, Sylutia put on clothes that were easy for movement and a dark gray hooded robe. After thinking about it, he took out the veil that "Bad Apple" had given him and put it on.
[Mist Veil] (Level 2·Mist Shadow): A very thin veil that does not hinder breathing, but can cover the face, making the image and temperament hazy, and has the ability to cover the breath to a certain extent. (Covering +3, Covering the breath +2)
After walking out of the tent, Hyacinth Horse, who was sleeping outside, stood up and heard distant sounds.
Sylutia walked over, touched its head, and then patted its neck gently.
"Stay here, don't run around." Ordinary wild beasts can't threaten this horse, so Sylutia feels more at ease.
After hearing this, Hyacinth Horse kicked his front hooves and snorted, indicating that he understood.
Then Sylutia opened her fingers slightly, and a Radiant Gold-colored long knife appeared in her palm, and then she held it.
The storage function of "Courtyard" is really useful. Even if it is placed in the box, she can take it out at any time. This convenient feeling is also the reason why Sylutia firmly chose "Courtyard" as Core Secret Art.
Holding the long and narrow Radiant Gold blade, Sylutia stepped into the night. Her steps were not fast, but she quickly blended into the gray night without making any sound.
While walking, Sylutia switched her abilities, and the effect of "Moonlight Breathing Technique" filled her body, making her body under the moonlight lighter and faster, and she was getting closer and closer to the place where the fire and sound occurred in front of her.
"Stop, or we will shoot!" the pursuing soldiers yelled, then took out their crossbows and pointed them at the fleeing people.
After hearing this, only some people hesitated, while the rest were still running in panic in the woods.
"Damn it." The captain cursed, then pulled the trigger and fired an arrow, directly hitting a fleeing figure.
Then several soldiers also started shooting and kept shouting, "Kneel down, lie on the ground, and you can avoid death! Otherwise, you will be shot to death."
Under such shouts, some of the slow runners were frightened. Several people began to be unable to bear the pressure of death. They lay on the ground in fear and did not move. Then they were tied up with ropes by the soldiers who caught up.
The chase continued, and the person running at the front saw a strange figure walking out of the woods.
"Run, run, don't block the road! They will kill people!" he shouted urgently.
But the figure just nodded slightly to him and continued walking forward.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, the escaping man ignored him and continued to rush into the night woods.
Soon, Sylutia saw the chasing soldiers, and a black hound rushed in front of her and pounced on her.
The blade passed lightly, and the black salivating hound was split into two and fell into the grass beside it.
Seeing this, the remaining hounds circled around her and barked hard, but they did not dare to step forward this time.
Hearing the sound of hounds, some soldiers walked towards here holding torches, and soon saw the figure in gray robe surrounded by hounds.
"Who are you, get down!" They thought it was a passerby in the middle of the night.
"It's just right. Anyway, there is a shortage of people in the mine now. I'll pay you if I catch you." One of the soldiers picked up the rope, shook it in his hand, and threw it out, trying to tie up this strange guy directly.
In response, Sylutia dodged easily, then the blade waved, and the rope in the air broke.
"How dare you resist." Seeing her resistance, the soldiers were unhappy, and two of them raised their crossbows and fired directly.
The sword flashed past, and the two crossbow arrows were split apart, with no effect.
Seeing this, these soldiers became a little panicked.
"We are the garrison of the Anti Kingdom. We advise you not to interfere with our mission and get out of here. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot when our captain and the army arrive." They were preparing to scare the stranger away.
In response to this, Sylutia shook his head slightly, a little curious about the ability of these Anti Soldier to tell lies. It was obvious that they were the only soldiers chasing them in the mountains, so there was no big army.
"Otherwise, you can go and I'll let you go."
Sylutia finally spoke. The clear girlish voice was slightly soft, as if she was not threatening, but carefully admonishing.
"It's funny, do you know whose subordinate we are? So what if you are Transcendent? If you dare to stop us, you are going against the Anti Kingdom!" Although a little arrogant, the Transcendent currently in Regas really don't dare to provoke these Anti Soldier.
"I know that you are the garrison of the Anti Kingdom, maybe you are also the subordinates of Somelin." Sylutia moved forward slowly. During the time she was delaying, the people who were being hunted before had moved further and further away.
"That's why I advise you to leave." Her figure slowly stepped from the darkness into the firelight. Only then did the soldiers see clearly the little silver hair under the hood and the outline of her figure.
"Female? She's still so young." Several soldiers commented on the girl in front of them.
When the two parties were confronting each other, the captain in charge of the pursuit rushed over with his men.
"What are you doing? Why don't you keep chasing!" He scolded him first, and then turned to look at the strange figure reflected in the firelight.
"I don't care who you are, since you dare to obstruct the actions of our Anti army, you must be Regas's rat. Get her!"
This captain was a "Second Level·Blood Law" warrior. He was full of energy and blood. After giving the order, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and rushed towards the girl quickly.
To be able to make the bold statement just now, he naturally has a certain level of ability and confidence. He has obviously received strict training, and his Military Swordsmanship is extremely superb. During the charge, Breathing Technique was running rapidly, coupled with some explosive ability and skill, and finally passed through the torches held by the soldiers in front like a strong wind, like an afterimage.
The pace, swordsmanship, and ability are all very good. Watching each other's movements is like watching a movie slowed down five times. Sylutia observes carefully.
On the opponent's path, the long and narrow straight blade she held flipped lightly, cutting the long sword in his hand along the opponent's trajectory, and then brought a blood line on the opponent's neck.
Then the captain hit a tree with a bang and fell to the ground.
This kind of battle is not even a warm-up, Sylutia is a little disappointed.
Seeing the powerful captain being killed instantly, the remaining soldiers panicked. Now you looked at me, I looked at you, they seemed to have made up their minds, and they all turned around and ran away.
In response, Sylutia did not pursue it, but stopped and looked at the dying army commander Anti.
After thinking for a few seconds, Sylutia decided to save the other party and ask some questions.
The people who had been running away before saw the pursuers retreating behind them, and after a while they quietly emerged from their hiding places, looking at the figure standing in the clearing of the woods with fear and expectation.
"Hello, thank you for saving us."
They said they were grateful, but they were still a little scared in their hearts. After all, most Transcendents have strange personalities and don't know their preferences.
"Come out, you should be fine now."
Seeing Sylutia's soft tone, everyone present put down their fears and slowly gathered together.
"Can you tell me, what happened to Scorched Stone City now?" Sylutia took off his hood, revealing his beautiful silver hair, and then took off his veil, surprising many people with his dreamy appearance that is rare in this world.
"My name is Tia. I used to live in Scorched Stone City for a long time. Maybe some of you recognize me." She talked about what happened a few years ago.
"I remembered, you are a student of Scholar Heide, right." A refugee finally remembered a certain name.
"So she is also from Scorched Stone City. It's great."
Everyone in the meeting finally felt relieved, and some even cried with joy. They gathered around Sylutia and recounted the series of changes that had taken place in Scorched Stone City in the past few years.
