The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 329: Federal Mission (Two chapters in one)

withdraw?
If no one is assigned to cover their retreat, it will be unlikely for them to retreat at this moment.

Judging from the strength shown by Ryan, unless he leaves most of the team behind to cover their retreat, otherwise, it is estimated that there will be no effect.

But now there is still a problem that he is unwilling to give up!
There are two elf women in front of me. If I don't take any action, I will miss this opportunity forever.

After all, he is not a fool. If the two elves really run back to Ferdinand Forest, then his plan this time will be in vain.

Most of the team members were killed or injured, their strength was greatly reduced, it was absolutely a huge loss!
No! We can't retreat!

At least, we have to catch an elf before retreating!
Although it was inevitable that there would be casualties among the team if he did so, he would not only be blameless but meritorious on the side of Duke Drum!
"Esteban, you two double-team the ball in the net! Garcia, use your strong bow to block it!" Sam made up his mind and deployed quickly.

"Diom, don't worry about the people on your side, target that elf girl, quickly!"

As soon as Sam finished speaking, everyone in Sam's group immediately took action.

It has to be said that the official members of Sam's Group are extremely well-trained and have strong execution capabilities.

Of course, it is very important to note that there is a huge difference between working in a team and working alone.

At this moment, the members of Sam's group still believed that through joint efforts, their team could still compete with Ryan. At worst, a safe retreat would not be a big problem.

Esteban and another person quickly took out two casting nets and threw them towards Ryan. The nets opened up like a dark cloud in the air, covering an area with a diameter of five or six meters.

The two of them naturally knew that although this net was made of special materials, it would not cause too much trouble for a master like Ryan.

But their purpose was also very clear, which was to delay Ryan slightly so that Garcia on the side could seize the opportunity when the opponent dodged or blocked and attack.

As team members, they have already carried out this kind of cooperation many times in actual combat and are very confident.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to assist their leader in successfully abducting an elf, and then they will have achieved their intended goal.

At this time, Garcia had already aimed the giant bow in his hand at Ryan. With a "whoosh" sound, a feather arrow with a black light shot straight at Ryan!

All of a sudden, all three of them attacked Ryan!
The three of them were staring at Ryan's figure at this moment. Seeing that the arrow was approaching Ryan, but the other party still did not dodge, they immediately showed happy expressions on their faces.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be saying that Ryan was still young after all, and although he was very strong, he lacked experience.

You know, Garcia's arrows are poisoned.

Once the skin is scratched and the subsequent poison seeps in, the whole body will gradually become paralyzed. Although the person is not unable to move, a significant reduction in strength is inevitable.

By then, the battle situation might be reversed.

"laugh!"

But what surprised the three was that the feather arrow actually pierced through Ryan and nailed it straight to the ground, and the tail feathers were still shaking!

wrong!

That was a phantom! Ryan was no longer there.

The three of them were shocked at the same time!

"Bang!!!"

Esteban suddenly groaned, and his whole body suddenly jumped more than half a meter into the air. He was bent in half by some huge force, his eyeballs bulged out, his mouth opened wide, and his tongue was hit out.

At this time, a figure appeared in front of Esteban, as if he was about to punch Esteban in the abdomen.

The person who came was Ryan!

After he switched to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades', his strength increased greatly.

On this basis, the top-level secret skill 'Shadow Step' is activated, and the movement speed almost exceeds the upper limit of the speed that can be captured by the naked eye of ordinary knights.

Only Garcia, as an archer, could barely catch a glimpse of Ryan's figure.

But the animal was captured, but there was no time to warn, and Esteban was in trouble!
At this moment, she immediately pulled out an arrow, put it on the bow, and aimed repeatedly, but she couldn't shoot it for a long time.

next second!
Another official member of Sam's Group who was throwing the fishing net was suddenly sent flying backwards, and with a loud bang, he hit the stone wall of the villa heavily. Spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly in a circle around his body.

At the same time, the other person was embedded in the wall.

Garcia took a quick glance and knew that the other party was beyond help.

Because the companion's pupils had begun to blur and dilate, and large amounts of blood spontaneously flowed out from the corners of their mouths.

Obviously, Ryan's punch just now had shattered the opponent's internal organs.

In two seconds, the two great knights died!
This scene made Garcia feel cold all over!

My heart seemed to have sunk into an ice cellar that had existed for thousands of years.

Originally, she wanted to rely on her arrows to interfere. With the close cooperation of the three of them, they could at least delay Ryan's actions. Even better, if the situation was a little better, they could trap Ryan in a special fishing net for a certain period of time.

But the cruel reality before her told her.

It is true that teamwork can fight against powerful enemies, but this time, they could hardly even track down the enemy's whereabouts, so the subsequent coordination, siege, etc. were all just illusions.

It's simply impossible to achieve!
"Shh!"

Ryan's figure disappeared from everyone's sight again, and this time, cold sweat broke out on Garcia's forehead.

She knew that this time, it was her turn!

"Retreat!" Sam had just seen this scene and knew that he was wrong, so he shouted immediately!
At the same time, he suddenly changed the direction of the three fireballs in his hand, aiming from the vine wall to directly at Garcia's position!

Huh?
Ryan was planning to get rid of the opponent's female archer at this time, but he didn't expect Sam to fire a series of fireballs directly at his own archer's position, which surprised Ryan a little.

Because this means that if Ryan insists on attacking the female archer, he will be killed by the continuous fireball attack.

In other words, the opponent risks injuring his subordinates to force him to give up the attack.

But Ryan had just been promoted!

He really wanted to get hurt and test the power of the epic class core skill 'Blood Rage'.

So, in the shocked eyes of everyone, Ryan didn't even dodge and punched Garcia on the forehead.

The next moment!
"Boom boom boom!!"

Suddenly, three explosions occurred in succession at the location where Garcia was originally located. Three small mushroom clouds rose up one after another. These were the continuous fireballs that Sam had just released.

The power is incredibly amazing!

After the smoke and dust dispersed a little, only one of the figures could be vaguely seen. The originally bright silver mithril armor on his body had been torn into pieces and was burned red by the high temperature!

Garcia was lying on the ground, motionless.

It turned out that Ryan did not dodge or cast the magic 'Metal Barrier', but chose to withstand the continuous fireballs released by Sam.

"Very good power!" Ryan whispered.

At this moment, his entire skin was almost red, like a roasted lobster. He had just forgotten one thing: metal conducts heat.

Therefore, he did not have any wounds on his body at this time, but the high temperature made him feel very uncomfortable.

"This... is considered an injured state, right?" Ryan looked down at his intact but slightly burned skin and muttered to himself.

Therefore, Ryan activated 'Blood Rage' for the first time, the core skill of the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades'!
In an instant, Ryan felt his heart beat suddenly accelerate, and streams of blood were pumped out vigorously. His eyes were slightly congested, and tiny bloodshot began to appear on the whites of his eyes.

He just felt a force in his heart like a volcano about to erupt, and the battle just now seemed not satisfying at all.
Ryan was for testing.

But others don’t know!
This scene made Sam's hands and feet turn cold in an instant!

Because he could feel that Ryan didn't cast any spells or use any witchcraft props just now, but just took his continuous fireballs solidly!

"This is a second-level fire attack sorcery!"

"You don't even bother hiding from this?"

"How confident do you have in your own defense to do this?"

Diom, who was fighting with Vieri at the side, also had no confidence at this moment. As an old member of the Sam's Group, he had fought against various enemies with his leader.

But this is the first time I've seen someone who can withstand the direct attack of his boss's second-level witchcraft.

Moreover, he didn't even bother to raise his hand to block it!

Where the hell did this monster come from!

No wonder the Blood Peak Mercenary Group was completely wiped out
In an instant, Diom went from being in a state of crushing Vieri to being in a trance, and was hit twice in succession by Vieri.

However, Diom also took advantage of this opportunity and quickly flew back.

But the next second, he only felt a restraining force coming from under his feet.

He looked down and saw that his feet had been tightly entangled by two thick vines emitting a gleaming green light.

Just as Diom was cursing and exerting force to shake off the vines, he suddenly heard his boss Sam's exclamation.

"Diom, get out of the way!"

Diom immediately felt something was wrong, and suddenly, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him.

In an instant, a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart!

He tried his best to roll sideways, but it was too late!
"Bang!!!"

A bulge suddenly appeared on Diom's chest, and at the same time, a figure with a fist raised suddenly appeared behind him. It was Ryan.

Just now, Ryan saw that De Lanna had entangled the strong man not far away, and he immediately seized the opportunity and rushed over in an instant. When the opponent was trying to break free, he aimed at his back and punched him hard.

"puff!"

Diom's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood in an instant. Then he staggered and fell to his knees!
Even though that punch didn't seem to cause much external damage to the body, it actually shattered Diom's shoulder blade, heart, and ribs!

Sam, by this time, had turned pale, and he quickly chanted a spell and backed away.

The next second, two balls of flames suddenly appeared around his legs, but he did not choose to attack. Instead, he rushed out of the mansion without looking back.

The flames on his legs seemed to give him some kind of pulse-like burst.

Every time he took a step, the soles of his feet would explode slightly, sparks would fly, and his whole body would seem to be propelled forward at a very fast speed.

If it were Ryan's previous life, Sam at this moment would definitely be a social person, with sparks and lightning all the way!

In this way, the soles of Sam's feet exploded in turn, and the speed of his whole body was instantly accelerated to an extremely high level.

The mansion's wall was nearly three meters high. The fire pulse under Sam's feet exploded with a little force, and he jumped over it easily.

But it was at this moment of taking off!
"Hey!"

A black light struck Sam's back like lightning!
"boom!!"

The moment of collision!

Suddenly, a ring of flames erupted from Sam's body, but the black light was still not repelled, but continued to carry out its mission forward. "Puff!"

Sam fell from mid-air like a swan hit by an arrow!
Just now, it was Ryan who threw the javelin with all his might after activating 'Blood Fury'!

Killing a level 2 liquefied wizard with one spear?
At this moment, everyone present was staring at the scene in front of them in amazement!
Vieri looked at Sam's still twitching body on the ground, then looked at his captain Ryan, and his whole body was numb!

Why does it feel like our captain has become stronger?

And at this moment, there was a confused expression on Delanna's originally dignified face!

There was only one thought in her mind at this moment.

"A Level 2 Liquefaction Wizard who fought her back and forth and was even slightly stronger than her was killed by a spear like this???"

"Wouldn't that be like stabbing yourself, which is also a matter of spearing?"

At this moment, Anna's beautiful eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she also had a shocked expression!

Although she was not the main force in the battle, she was just helping her Aunt Delanna fight the enemy, so she knew very well how difficult the enemy was.

Such a strong enemy.
He was actually stabbed to death by Ryan's spear?

It was as easy as stabbing a rabbit to death in the woods.
Isn't this too exaggerated? !

At this time, Ryan slowly retracted his right hand, and gradually returned to a normal standing position from the throwing posture.

He was also using this process to calm down the restlessness and bloodthirstiness of "Blood Fury".

When Ryan turned around and walked towards Anna, the guards in the mansion vacated the space in the middle and made a passage for Ryan.

At the same time, every guard looked at Ryan with a gaze that was almost worshipful and fanatical.

Ryan walked to Anna's side and comforted her, "Anna, the people who were spying on you before must be these people. Now they have all been dealt with, so you can rest assured."

After hearing what Ryan said, Vieri realized that the people who attacked at night were actually the ones who followed Anna, and they should be the so-called Sam's Group.

At this time, Delanna also walked over and nodded to Ryan, saying, "Ryan, you are stronger than I thought! Much stronger! It seems that there is no need for me to stay in Munster anymore."

"I think you can take better care of Anna's safety than I can."

"Thank you for your compliment, Ms. Delanna. It is my duty to protect Anna." Ryan smiled and bowed slightly.

"By the way, Ryan, what you just killed seems to be an earth dragon."

"Earth dragon?" Ryan nodded. He seemed to have heard of it. It was a dragon-born creature.

"Well, it's a relatively rare dragonborn. The one just now should still be in its growth stage and not fully grown yet. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome to deal with." Dranna said.

Ren nodded.

In fact, in his heart, he naturally hoped that the other party could be a mature earth dragon, so that he could absorb a little more dragon gene fragments.

In addition, if it is confirmed that the opponent's mount is an earth dragon, the opponent's origins should be easier to verify.

After all, with such a special mount, he should not be an unknown person even in the entire empire.

He initially guessed that this Earth Dragon Knight might be a member of Sam's Group, but judging from the battle situation just now, it seemed that he was not. It seemed more like he was called by Sam's Group to help.

"By the way, Ryan, I believe what you said before is all true. I don't think there is any need to go to the Munster Auction House tomorrow." De Lanna said.

Before Ryan could say anything, Delanna turned to Anna and said:

"Anna, I need to return to Ferdinand Forest as soon as possible. I received a message from home this afternoon."

"I believe Ryan can guarantee your safety. However, you still have to take care of yourself. I will come to see you again after some time."

"Aunt Delanna, are you leaving now?" Anna couldn't help but pull Delanna's hand, with surprise and reluctance on her face.

"Ah."

"Ms. Delanna, you..."

Just as Ryan was about to persuade him to stay, De Lanna waved his hand to stop him. He only heard De Lanna say:

"Ryan, as a thank you for protecting Anna, I have something here that I think you might need."

Delanna took out a palm-sized, brightly colored feather from his waist bag and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan showed surprise on his face and reached out to take it without refusing, because the feather exuded a strange witchcraft aura and he could feel some unknown energy contained in it.

"This is the feather of a dead Thunderhorned Eagle Beast, and it is also the essence of its body. It will have a relatively obvious accelerating effect on your pet's entry into maturity." Drana looked at the sky and stared at Ryan.

Ryan's face suddenly showed joy!

Accelerate the growth of blood feathers?
Then wouldn’t I be able to fly freely in the sky like a griffin knight or a dragon knight!
"Thank you, Ms. Delanna. This item is very useful to me." Ryan expressed his gratitude.

"Well! Then I'm leaving!" De Lanna patted Anna's hand and walked towards the garden woods on the side. He soon disappeared into the woods.

Then, with a loud eagle cry, Ryan and Anna both looked up at the sky, knowing that Delanna was really gone.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the mansion!

Ryan looked up and saw that Neolo and Angus had arrived. Angus was holding two people in his hands. They seemed to be the followers of Sam's group or the dragon knight.

After a while, the guards of the noble district, the night watch, the city guards, etc. all came over.

While Ryan was comforting his mother Emma, ​​Jennifer, and Agatha who had suffered an unexpected disaster, he briefly told the sheriff of the noble district what happened that night.

Soon, the Sword Bearer Branch sent people over to take over the scene.

At this time, Ryan was free and returned to his room to rest.

Early the next morning.

Ryan's study.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Please come in!"

Olena, the deputy minister of the mission hall, walked in with a smile and said:

"Mr. Ryan, I didn't expect you to return to Munster so soon."

"Yesterday morning, I received your report on the two missions of the Blood Curse Naga Cave and the Secret Snake Cult, and immediately handed it over to Admiral Edward. Do you know the shocked expression on Admiral Edward's face at that time?"

At this point, Olena covered her mouth and chuckled.

Obviously, as Ryan's liaison officer, the more brilliant Ryan's achievements are, the more proud Olena will be.

"An ancient blood-cursed naga high priest, a legendary warrior of the Secret Snake Cult, and a legendary land-farming snake. That's equivalent to three legendary warriors, and you managed to deal with them all."

"You are so amazing! But it's just like this." Olena, the capable young woman, couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm? Lady Olena, what's wrong?"

Ryan was still quite confused by Olena's sudden sigh.

Is it possible that completing tasks efficiently is not a bad thing?
"I'm afraid your situation can't be concealed for long even by Admiral Edward. Sooner or later you will be transferred to the Imperial Capital Headquarters. When I think of this, I..."

Ryan couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out to be this reason.

"Lady Olena, I don't think I will leave Munster for the imperial capital in the short term. If the headquarters wants to transfer me, they should ask for my opinion first. I will also try to delay it as much as possible." Ryan said with a smile.

Ryan also planned to calm down.

In particular, the advanced meditation methods and puppetry learned from mentor Mogaro also require a period of time to learn.

Also, after being promoted to the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades', Ryan also needs some time to think, summarize and improve.

Only in this way can the power of this epic profession be fully unleashed.

In the battle last night, he used a core skill called 'Blood Fury', and it was an incomplete version because his injury was very minor at the time.

And there was no chance to use the other core skill, 'Weakness Control'.

"Well, that's great, Lord Ryan. As long as you're in the branch for one day, I will do my best to serve you." Olena nodded heavily and said with a smile on her face.

"By the way, last time you mentioned that a forbidden gate was suspected to have been discovered at Longya Pass, has the news been confirmed?"

"Not yet. It's only been three days. The team should have just arrived. It's estimated that it will take another two or three days before we get clear news." Olena shook her head and said.

"Yes! Tell me as soon as you have any news." Ryan nodded.

Yes, such a long distance, coupled with the harsh environment and exploration, does require more time.

"Okay, Sir Ren."

"Does that mean there won't be any missions these days?"

"Yes, Lord Ryan. However, in three days, a large delegation from the Eagle Federation will pass through Munster. Admiral Edward hopes that you can attend the welcome banquet."

"Eagle Federation?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and said.

Although he had dealt with the Eagle Federation twice, those were battles against the Eagle Federation's Leviathan Squad.

There is another one, and if you have to count it, it can barely be counted as one.

That was Tienan from the Bloodtop Mercenary Group, who was said to be also from the Eagle Federation. At this moment, in his trophy cupboard, there were the remains of Tienan's metal arm, which came from the skills of the Eagle Federation's top puppeteer.

"Yes, Sir Ren."

"How can they get here? The battle between us and the sea tribe is so intense right now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to reach the sea near Minster safely, right?"

"Mr. Ryan, the Eagle Federation delegation did not come by boat, but by giant airship. You may not know that the Eagle Federation's airship technology is more advanced than our empire's."

Olena explained.

"I see. Lady Olena, please tell Admiral Edward that I will participate." Ryan nodded and said.

He was quite curious about the Eagle Federation.
-
at the same time.

Above the continental coastline of the Eagle Federation, there was a huge ellipsoidal airship, slowly sailing towards the vast blue ocean.

At the bow of the airship, a middle-aged man in a federal officer's uniform was respectfully speaking to a beautiful middle-aged woman in aristocratic hunting suit beside him:

"Lady Trena, why don't we fly directly to Tamriel, the capital of the Dragun Empire, instead of going to the other side's Munster Province first?"

"Since we are going there, we naturally have to take the opportunity to understand the current situation of the Dragun Empire." said the beautiful woman named Trena.

"I heard from Mingster that some sea creatures are fighting with the Dragun Empire at the instigation of the Poseidon Cult. We can observe this."
