Home of the Brave

The first spot of light is located on the east side of Saari City. It looks like five or six people, spreading their wings and passing quietly in the night sky. The men in black do not have wings, so it can be concluded that those are patrolling guards. The second spot of light is located near the square in Saari City. There are more people than the previous one, but it moves very slowly. From the distorted trajectory, it can be inferred that this should be a group of drunk people. Adventurers wandering around in the middle of the night.

The positions of the third light spot and the fourth light spot are relatively fixed, and there is bright fire around them, which should be the guard towers set up in various places in the city of Sari. The fifth spot of light should move back and forth between the first two, and it should also be the guard patrolling...Just like this, there seems to be nothing suspicious in Saari City.

"Tsk, are those guys going to slow down tonight?"

Dai Yang muttered, suddenly smelling the aroma of wine. He opened his eyes suspiciously and found that Ji Yao had gotten a bottle of wine from somewhere.

"...You fellow, do you think of this as an outing?" Dai Yang frowned and said. "And this taste... is it vodka?"

"That's right." Ji Yao shook the spirits in his hand triumphantly. "I secretly brought it out from the hotel, no one found out, so don't worry."

"It's not a good question..." Dai Yang sighed, shaking his head, and a blanket covered his sight. When he recovered, Ji Yao had already wrapped himself and him in a blanket.

"Hmph, the long cold night is hard to get through?" At the dazed Dai Yang, Ji Yao showed a lovely smile. "You should be grateful if you are with us!"

Compared to staying alone on the roof in the cold night and the cold wind, and snuggling with the beauties and wine, it is indeed the treatment of ascending from **** to heaven. Looking at the innocent smile like fresh snow, even Dai Yang couldn't say anything to blame, and shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile. "Forget it, just do it with you... Ah, I want to leave half of the wine, this is a good thing to keep out the cold."

"No, why don't you have to score the things we brought out?"

"Hey, I'm helping you share the responsibility of the accomplice? Asking for a bit of sweetness can't be tasted too much, right?"

"Then... only one cup."

"Too little, right? At least three cups."

"No, no, two cups at most."

"Tsk, two cups are two cups... pour more, pour more, and one more drop will overflow just right."

"Then how do you drink it? Stupid!"

"I can sip and drink..."

... The cold wind of early winter blew through the streets of Saari City, making everything in the night shrank, but somewhere in the street where the cold wind could not reach, it seemed to be filled with the passion of summer. The spirits of the northern country dispelled the chill, and the feelings of the beauty in her arms made the hard vigil a kind of extravagant enjoyment. By the time Siruda in the sky received a warning message, two hours had passed unknowingly.

※※※

Following the Chamber of Commerce the night before, the sound of riots broke through the quiet night of Saari City again.

The Buddhist scripture building contains important documents passed down from generation to generation by the Musa tribe. Several good guards were injured by men in black, but they sounded the alarm just before they were knocked down. As the garrison strengthened its patrol, it took only half of the usual time to reach the Buddhist scripture building after the alarm sounded. However, the people in black moved extremely quickly, leaving them only with the messy scene.

The man in black had already left the Buddhist scripture building before the arrival of the security team, and evacuated in a certain direction outside the city of Saari. They were jumping horizontally and horizontally on the roof of the street, jumping over a distance of seven or eight meters, and as if not affected by the dark environment, the figure was like a ghost. Even if someone occasionally glanced at the roof at this time, I believe it would be difficult to detect the ghost that passed by.

To track this ghostly figure in the dark night, it is probably impossible based on common sense, but the person in black has a body temperature similar to that of a human body, so in front of Siruda’s night vision ability, the four ghosts In Dai Yang's eyes, the shadow was as conspicuous as a torch. Dai Yang did not disturb the black-clothed man's escape, and He Mingye followed them far behind, hoping to find the black-clothed man's nest along the vines.

By the time the man in black was about to rush out of Sari City, it could be said that everything went smoothly, but no one expected that someone suddenly came in on the way.

"Sneaky guy over there! Stop me!"

Unknown whether it was accidental or inevitable, Yuna, who was patrolling with the security team, spotted the ghost in the street below, and rushed down from the air with a loud shout.

Such an accident seemed to have caught the people in black by surprise. After a second of lag, the four people in black immediately dispersed and fled in four directions.

"Cunning bastard!...Hey! I'll go after the one over there, and leave the remaining three to you!"

Una, who was unskilled, instructed the security team to hunt down the other three men in black who fled to the street, while she aimed at the men in black who fled outside the street and chased them. Outside the streets of Sari City is the plateau of Amaterasu Peak. There is no cover to hide. Yuna chased the fleeing man in black against the ground, and quickly chased her to the distance she could shoot.

"Caught it!"

Accompanied by the soft sound of leaving the sheath, the double knives on the waist made a tangent up and down, slashing towards the target ahead, but only the cloak of the man in black was hit.

A second before the sword cut through the body, the man in black threw down his cloak and jumped up, avoiding Yuna's slash by a few millimeters, and two fierce blades also popped out of his left and right hands. The man in black adjusted his posture in midair, facing the Valkyrie who was flying below, and attacked with a beast-like action.

"Tsk, don't think about it!"

Two fierce blades attacked towards the throat, Yuna waved her wings and quickly retreated while using the battle knife to block, avoiding the fierce blade's cutting line.

Yuna returned to guard after landing, and looked at the man in black with unexpectedly surprised eyes. Although it was only a short confrontation of one round, Yuna had already determined that the opponent in front of her was a formidable enemy that ordinary bandits could not match. Even so, the red-haired Valkyrie didn't show the slightest retreat. Rather, the opponent's toughness aroused her fighting spirit.

"There are two tricks, it's no wonder the security team can't handle it..." Yuna took a knife with a war knife. "Interestingly, since you are also a double-sword player, then come and watch it?"

The man in black did not answer, but instead waved a fierce blade and took the initiative to attack Yuna. Responding to his movements, Yuna also raised her saber to launch an offensive, and the two exchanged hands at very close range. The swords and fierce blades swung at incredibly high speeds constantly drew intersecting cutting lines in the void. Accompanied by the splendid scene of explosions and fire, the black-haired youth who was peeping from afar was surprised.

This tug-of-war lasted for several minutes, and the original stalemate was gradually broken. With a blast, the two fighting directions bounced back.

With wings as a buffer, Yuna had to slow her breath earlier, and slashed the wind and thunder at the man in black first. The man in black struggled to fend off the blow, but his body was completely out of balance. At this moment, Yuna's other sword cut through his left shoulder. As the blade light flashed, the severed arm flew high, and the man in black's left shoulder sprayed out a waterfall of blood.

"I won."

The man in black who had his left hand cut off staggered back, Yuna stepped forward and put the saber on his neck, announcing her victory.

"Well, sneaky rat, let me see what you look like under your mask..."

Yuna, who was talking like this, opened the man in black's mask with a saber, but showed a shocked expression in an instant.

"Huh?"

I saw the face of the man in black under the mask. The eyes and mouth were tightly sewn with twine, and the ears and nose were completely cut off. There was no hair on the ugly face, just like a tortured soul in purgatory. She was forcibly taken to the world - witnessing with her own eyes, Yuna had goose bumps all over her body, and at the same time she felt an indescribable cold seeping in from the soles of her feet.

While Yuna was in a daze, the man in black suddenly kicked Valkyrie away.

Yuna stepped back two or three steps and adjusted her posture, and was about to pursue her. Unexpectedly, the man in black did not take the opportunity to flee, but gestured in the air with her left hand. Yuna stared at the man in black's movements vigilantly, but instead was hit by the opponent's tactics. In the next moment, the right hand of the man in black suddenly released a dazzling glare. In the dark night, the light was even more dazzling than the noon sun, and Yuna was caught off guard.

"No... not good!"

Yuna covered her eyes and retreated subconsciously. At the same time, the man in black waved her uninjured right hand, raising a murderous blade towards Valkyrie. For Yuna who was deprived of her eyesight, even if she perceives such a crisis, she has nothing to do. The double knives that wielded wildly couldn't cut the corners of the man in black, but opened his own door. The fierce blade of the man in black took the opportunity to leave a deep stab wound on Valkyrie's right leg.

The severe pain robbed Yuna's strength in an instant, she fell to her knees on one knee, and her defensive posture collapsed. The fierce blade of the man in black then struck Valkyrie's throat without hesitation.

"Hey! Where is the rat, dare to do evil here!"

When the crisis broke out, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears. Yuna couldn't help but froze when she heard the words, but they had already met her hands over there.

"Look at it! Tieyan Fort is specially made, wind, fire and thunder bombs!"

Something seemed to be thrown away, and in the next second it set off an astonishing popping sound, mixed with the hot air current, blowing Yuna out. Yuna rolled on the ground for several weeks. Although she was not injured, her eyesight has not recovered. She looked anxiously in the direction of the popping sound, but in the misty vision, only the continuous popping sound sounded one after another...
