Chapter 19: Capturing a Magician
Today's sunset is particularly red; even the clouds in the sky and the roads on the ground are covered with red gauze.
However, compared to the colour of flowing human blood, this little red is not enough.
On this road in the wilderness, a fight was going on. The accompanying carriage was cut into two parts, and the bodies of horses and guards fell to the ground, with blood flowing everywhere.
On one side of the road, three sturdy knights were fighting each other. The knight with the blue lake emblem tattooed on his right arm was fighting one against two and was barely holding on, but he probably couldn't hold on for long.
"Miss, take the young master away quickly, go!" the knight shouted loudly.
But at the back of a carriage, a young man was lying on the ground with a pale face and blood on his arm. A girl next to him was pulling the boy and struggling to escape.
But it was obvious that the girl had sprained her foot, and it was obviously impossible for her to escape with the boy by her own strength.
At this time, another figure slowly walked over, holding a long sword with blood dripping on it.
"Haha, you want to escape?"
The man's voice was a little hoarse. "Let me take you to hell!"
Announcement of death, the man raised the sword in his hand.
The girl's face was pale, and she couldn't move.
"Damn it! How dare you assassinate the bloodline of the Green family!" The knight who was entangled roared, but he could only rage helplessly.
He couldn't get away at all, and after the girl and the young Master died, he would be the next to die.
"call out!"
Just as the man raised his sword, a low-quality long sword turned into an arrow and flew through the air, pointing straight at his throat.
"Is there someone?" The man was startled and quickly gave up on killing the girl. Instead, he dodged to the side to avoid the attack.
"call out!"
Another long sword came through the air, forcing the man to distance himself from the girl.
Da da da...
Two warhorses arrived one after another. They were none other than Ronin and his knight Macon.
Originally, Roning didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he thought that on a road like this, even if there were enemies, they would not be powerful ones.
So they let McKen investigate first and confirm the basic situation before they rushed over.
Roning naturally couldn't miss this opportunity to save people and make friends with nobles.
"My Lords, please lend a helping hand. The Green Family will surely reward you handsomely!"
The engaged knight roared, only to be distracted and have his arm slashed by a sword.
"Macken, rescue the knight first," Roning ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
McKen jumped off his horse, drew his sword, picked up his shield and rushed over there.
But at this moment, the man who had just raised the sword dropped the sword in his hand, put his hands together and quickly pulled it apart.
Roning saw that elements were condensing between his palms, and in the blink of an eye a wind blade was formed.
"Be careful, he is a magician!" the girl warned with difficulty.
"call out!"
The wind blade shot out at such a speed that Roning got goosebumps all over his body.
"McCann, be careful!"
Without waiting for his reminder, McKen stopped, thrust his sword into the ground, and his fighting spirit flowed into the ground along the sword.
In front of him, a wall of earth rose from the ground.
"boom!"
The wind blade hit the earth wall, cutting it into two pieces, and slashed towards McKen with the remaining force!
McKen raised his shield in advance to withstand the blow.
Fortunately, the wind blade had been weakened, and the remaining force did not have much killing power. After hitting the shield, McKen just took a small step back to block it.
"Intermediate knight?"
The magician's expression changed, "Retreat!"
Seeing that things were changing, he retreated without a second thought, even ignoring the two knights who were in fierce battle.
But now Roning was not willing to let this man run away.
A magician, what a rare existence, and a wind-attribute magician, which is very consistent with his attributes.
"McKen, you deal with this magician. Don't let him get away!"
"Remember to catch them alive!"
"Your will, my sword!"
McCann showed no fear at all and rushed forward without thinking.
Roning galloped on his horse and rushed towards the knights who were fighting fiercely.
"You assassinated nobles in Wushan Territory. Which faction do you belong to?"
With a sweep of the sword and the force of a galloping warhorse, the two knights could only jump out to block the attack.
But under the huge force of the collision, the sword in the opponent's hand was shattered.
Roning is now in the late stage of a junior knight, and his progress has reached 95/100. His strength is much greater than that of the junior knight in front of him.
Coupled with the boost from the warhorse, the opponent was simply unable to resist.
He reined in his horse, turned his horse around and charged again. The knight who had lost his sword had no intention of resisting and wanted to escape to the mountains and forests to avoid being chased.
But although he was fast, he was not as fast as the high-quality warhorse under Roning.
"puff!"
Luo Ning caught up from behind and swept his sword across, cutting the opponent's arm and the arteries on his neck, causing blood to spurt out.
["King of Slaughter" achievement achieved: attribute points +30, energy essence +60]
As the battle here ended, the knight who had just been suppressed also completed his counterattack.
Now, only the battle between Mikan and the magician is left unfinished.
Roning rode on his horse and watched from a distance.
At this moment, there was green energy flowing on the magician's feet, which made Roning realize that the speed of a magician was actually comparable to that of an intermediate knight.
Unfortunately, after he ran for a distance, perhaps due to insufficient magic power, the energy in his feet disappeared, and his speed dropped sharply.
Even though he rushed into the forest, he was quickly caught up by McKenn, who kicked him from behind and knocked him to the ground.
"I advise you not to struggle; this way, you will suffer less!"
McCann chased him and punched him twice, breaking two of his ribs. He then grabbed the collar of his shirt and carried him back down the mountain.
He threw the magician in front of Ronin as if he were holding a kitten and then put the sword on the other's neck.
Luo Ning sheathed his sword, pulled the reins and sat on the horse. "Who are you? Why did you want to assassinate the Green family?"
"snort!"
The magician snorted coldly, "If the battle at the beginning hadn't consumed too much of my magic power, you wouldn't be able to catch me now!"
Macon moved the blade of his sword and shouted, "Watch your attitude, prisoner!"
"They are probably assassins from the Skull and Bones Society."
The injured knight walked over and saluted Ronin and McKen.
"Thank you both for your help. The Green family will always remember your kindness!"
Luo Ning nodded slightly, "Go check on your young Master and young lady. They may be injured."
After hearing this, the knight did not dare to delay and walked towards the carriage.
"May the Seven Gods bless you, Master. Only your flesh was cut by the wind blade, and your bones were not injured. Miss, your foot is sprained, and you can't move for the time being."
Roning withdrew his gaze from the Green family. This prisoner would be his biggest gain in this operation.
"Chahar, bring some guards over!"
Chahar, who was watching from a distance, heard Roning's call and called five guards to run over.
"Master, your orders!"
Luo Ning pointed at the magician on the ground and said, "Go and see if the young master and young lady over there need any help."
"Guards, go forward and restrain this guy. McCann, search him to see if he has any important information."
The search for intelligence was, of course, fake. Roning mainly wanted to know if the other party had any magic books or at least money or something like that.
