Sword Sorcery

Chapter 57 Token
After they dealt with Prince Ronald and the others, and hastily scraped away their belongings, they cleaned up the scene a bit, and disguised Ronald and the others as if they had been attacked by horse thieves.

Then, everyone left behind the corpses of Ronald and the others and the royal carriage that belonged to them, and hurried back to their own carriage, while the servants drove a huge convoy of seven carriages, Once again embarked on the journey to the port of Cobos.

About four hours after Aaron and the others left this place, a mighty coalition force finally arrived at this place——

This coalition unit has a large number of people, and the overall appearance is quite elite. First of all, the number of ordinary soldiers has reached close to 100, and the armor and weapons on each soldier's body flashed coldly from time to time. Obviously their equipment They are far more outstanding than those city guards under the command of Viscount Steve.

Especially some captain-level characters in this team, there is a faint sense of aura different from ordinary people in every move, obviously they are all strong men who have reached the realm of quasi-knights!
This is a small pursuit force composed of an elite group!

Moreover, the soldiers at the head of the team... no, it should be said that they were officers. When they rode their horses forward at full speed, their bodies and limbs appeared to be very coordinated, and there was a tyrannical spirit of life flowing wantonly. Showed a true strength far superior to that of ordinary quasi-knights!
Anyone who wants to generate such a surging breath of life when exercising must have the realm of a formal knight or above to do it!
If you don't move, it's amazing!
What this sentence refers to is the existence of formal knights and above—on weekdays, they look no different from ordinary people, except that their bodies appear more well-proportioned and stronger. However, once they really exercise, these knights will show The physical fitness and vigorous life momentum are far superior to ordinary people!

Hundreds of elite soldiers, more than a dozen quasi-knights, and several strong men who are at least formal knights, such a small elite army is enough to be called a "terrorist" luxury configuration!
With such a luxurious elite force, I am afraid that the entire Karas Empire cannot make up many——

You know, once those formal knights participate in the war and survive to the end, under normal circumstances, these people can basically obtain huge merits enough to be knighted!

Even quasi-knights will basically get an honorary title (baronet) at the end of the war. If they are lucky enough, they can even hope for a title with a territory!
In other words, this is a 'special force' composed of several future 'feudal nobles', a dozen 'honorary nobles', and nearly a hundred well-equipped elite soldiers!
Such an elite force is enough to fight against a force several times its own without losing the wind. It is often regarded as the most important trump card of the entire joint army-in most cases it is used to break out and behead, hunt down important people, and even reverse the situation. The key to the whole battle situation!
At this time, the team was obviously tracking an important target. Following the clues they detected, they tracked all the way to a place not far from the bodies of Ronald and others. Soon, they found a car parked Horses in the meadow and a field of corpses all around—

"Stop~!"

A red-haired man at the head of the team gave a loud shout, and everyone behind him reined in their horses in an orderly manner.

The red-haired man looked at the royal carriage parked alone on the grass in front of him, and the corpses all around him. He frowned and gestured to a soldier behind him with his chin——

"That carriage seems to be an important target for us to track, take a few people to see the situation!"

"Yes~! Lord Taylor!"

The red-haired man's name was Taylor, and he was one of the three peak knights who led the team. The blond man and the blue-eyed man standing beside him were also peak knights, named Rowan and Vonn respectively.

Three peak knights!

This is a force capable of reversing the entire battle situation. Once they are sent to carry out the task of assassination and beheading, very few existences can stop them. It is simply an invincible trump card!
Even though the Karas Empire is several times larger than the Kino Kingdom as a whole, if you count the hidden power in the hands of the Karas royal family, the hermits among the people and the low-key existences among the nobles, the number of peak knights in the entire empire will be exhausted. Only about 25 people!
As for the Kino Kingdom, there are only a few peak knights, and all of them died in the rebellion!

The three peak knights fully represent one-eighth of the top combat power of the entire empire!

From this point of view, this elite team is no longer a matter of gathering several teams. I am afraid that the entire empire only has one team. This is also the most elite ace team in the entire Karas Empire in this war!

They are not ordered by anyone, but only obey the orders of the supreme commander of the Karas Empire-King Jodruna!

And the important task they are performing -

"Report~, Master Taylor, that carriage is indeed the property of the Chino royal family, because the decorations and badges on the carriage are all in the royal family's specific style, and"

The soldier came back to report to Taylor after the investigation, but his words seemed a little hesitant, causing Taylor to urge: "What else? Don't procrastinate, talk quickly!"

The soldier hurriedly lowered his head, and responded respectfully: "Moreover, among the corpses around the carriage, my subordinates discovered the important target of this mission—the corpse of Ronald Chino."

"In addition, the bodies of several of Ronald's personal soldiers and the body of Eric, the famous genius knight in the Guards, are also available without missing a single person. It seems that they are all destroyed here. Except for Ronald's body with too many wounds, most of the wounds of the others were fatal in one blow, and the belongings in the royal carriage were also swept away."

"Judging from the messy situation at the scene of the incident, the subordinates suspected that the incident was caused by horse thieves—Ronald and the others were defeated because they encountered a large group of horse thieves, which eventually led to their complete annihilation."

As he said that, a look of doubt appeared on the soldier's face: "However, after searching Ronald's body, the subordinate did not find 'that' thing. Could it be that the insider's information was wrong—in fact, Kino The royal family doesn't have any tokens of the origin continent located at the end of the 'Sea of ​​the Abyss'?"

"Impossible~! That traitor's information cannot be wrong!"

Taylor snorted coldly, and retorted: "Let's not say that the traitor is himself a member of the royal family. The source of the information seems to be quite reliable, and this matter seems too weird-a mere horse thief can kill a man with an official knight. Ronald and others?"

"Don't be kidding, mediocre people who are willing to be horse thieves will only have the strength of quasi-knights! It is impossible to win Ronald and his party who are full-fledged knights!"

Taylor looked up and said firmly, "Someone must have intercepted and killed Ronald and the others, and swept away 'that' thing—their goal is to organize the token!"

Luo Wen next to him also echoed: "Huh~, that thief is quite courageous, he dared to snatch the thing we were targeting, we must not let him run away with 'that' thing so easily!"

Among the three, Vaughn, who is more irritable, directly ordered: "Kurland, you go and order, we will continue to track the past, and we must catch the thief who dared to steal 'that' thing as soon as possible—— Make him regret everything he has done!"

"The whole army obeys the order. Continue to pursue!!!"

As the words fell, this special force, which could be called the most elite of the Karas Empire, sailed in the direction where Aaron and others left.
at the same time
A huge team of carriages was running unhurriedly in a meadow. On a noble carriage in the middle of the team, a servant was driving the carriage, and behind him sat two young men. , a man and a woman with outstanding looks.

At this moment, the two young people are enjoying their own private time——

Aaron was lying on An Geli's lap pillow, enjoying the warmth from the sun and the soft touch on the back of his head, as well as a trace of elegant girlish body fragrance wafting into his nose, making him look quite comfortable.

However, there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on his right hand raised against the sun——

A grotesque pendant is under the sunlight, flashing a mysterious brilliance from time to time
