Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

The enemy's general ledger was lit, and people could be vaguely seen moving from it.

Lingyan approached quietly, restrained her aura to the extreme, then carefully observed the defense situation inside and outside the general ledger, and wrote down all these.

Mission accomplished, it's time to prepare to evacuate.

With that in mind, she slowly withdrew.

"What are you doing?"

The man's voice from behind made her subconsciously swing the dagger in her hand!

Afterwards, there was the sound of metal colliding behind him, and he only saw a flash of fire, and the sword in the man's hand stopped the dagger almost instantly.

And at the moment when the fire flashed, she also saw the other party's appearance clearly.

This guy was wearing heavy armor all over his body, except that his head was not wearing a helmet like on the battlefield. His tall body seemed to be like an iron tower. On his face, a scar ran through his left eye, which seemed to be The left eye was badly injured.

This is a paladin, and judging from the emblem on his armor, he is obviously a nobleman with a high status.

"I said I was curious about the paladins of the church, do you believe me?"

Now that she had been discovered, Lingyan stopped pretending and asked with a smile.

The paladin shook his head, as if he had heard some big joke: "You really know how to joke. Believe it or not, it's not up to me. Come talk to me in the barracks. After all, I have never seen a disagreement. A 'curious person' who attacks people with a dagger."

When he said this, the paladin raised his hand and reached out to Lingyan.

Lingyan stood there and glanced at him, then...

She raised her hand to fire the fire refining formula, and the hot flame swept across the tall body in an instant. With the light of the flame, she quickly got into the depths of the nearby forest.

Just when she was about to completely disappear in the jungle, a long sword pierced the sky and came straight towards her!

Lingyan subconsciously leaned back, her whole body leaned back, the long sword slashed dangerously above her chest, piercing through a big tree behind her.

"It's too late to regret it now, I just ask you to make things clear."

The paladin stepped in her direction.

Lingyan didn't speak, she adjusted her breathing, and thought of Qin Ji's order in her mind - to save her life first.

Normally speaking, Lingyan is not afraid of paladins. With her strength, although the paladins of the church are tricky, it is not a big problem to fight one.She can deal with multiple paladins at the same time.But this one in front of me...

Dare to be so calm in front of an unknown enemy, it seems that he is at the level of a paladin commander.

This can be a little dangerous.

Without looking back, she turned around and ran into the depths of the jungle.

"wasting my time."

The paladin sighed, walked to the edge of the big tree, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and pulled it out forcefully, the whole big tree broke apart with the sound of the blade being pulled out.

Then, the armor on his body emitted a faint light, and the paladin shuttled through the jungle like a stream of light.

Chapter 27 does the job perfectly

The head of the holy knight, this is a very representative existence in the knight order of the holy bishop's church.

They are the "little bosses" among the paladins, and each knight commander often leads a certain number of paladins.

In the church, a paladin leader is both a position and an honor. This position means the pinnacle of his honor as a paladin and the piety of his faith.

This is indeed the case. In the history of the church, many saints who left their names later were born as paladin chiefs. They are devout, noble, and brave. At any time, their appearance is the hope in everyone's heart. .

However, just like the Church, the position of Chief Paladin gradually lost its noble cloak and became no longer sacred.

The armor that once carried the glory of a hero is now speeding through the jungle. His speed is unbelievable. Even Lingyan, who has always been confident in her agility, even finds that she may not be able to outrun the opponent...

There's definitely something to that armor.

However, Lingyan is not someone who has never seen the world. She has that self-confidence, and she naturally has a way to deal with it. Facing the enemy's pursuit, she led the paladin commander around, deliberately running a winding route. , the opponent is not good at chasing in this environment, and was quickly left behind by a certain distance.

However, in this way, if the enemy continued to pursue her, she would have no way to join her subordinates.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache.

Suddenly, there was wind in my ears.

This was definitely not the sound of the wind in the woods. She immediately used spiritual energy to protect her body, and then, a long sword fell heavily on her body.

The aura's defense almost wiped out the lethality of the sword's edge, but the huge force still made Lingyan's body retreat several steps before she managed to stabilize her figure.

How did this guy catch up?

"Are you surprised? You are not the only ones who know something similar to spells."

Holding his sword, he came straight to Lingyan with an aura as if he wanted to crush all obstacles.

And just as his weapon was about to touch Lingyan, a black mist rose up.

Realizing that it might be poison, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. When the black mist dispersed, the target had disappeared.

He knew very well that it was impossible for this guy to disappear without a trace so quickly. No matter how fast she was, she probably wouldn't be able to escape far—unless she used space spells or teleportation spells.Neither of these are possible without leaving traces of spellcasting.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and his senses almost expanded to the limit, searching for every detail around him.

Lingyan, who was hiding behind a slope not far from him, also closed her eyes at this moment.

Heartbeat, blood flow rate, breathing... Almost all activities that symbolize life have been suppressed to the limit by her. At this moment, Lingyan has entered a very strange state, as if she has entered a unique realm. Complete emptying, the sharp decline in physical performance brings about all unnecessary perception and simplification of thinking.

At this time, she was extremely fragile, and her perception ability was so low that she was even inferior to ordinary people. In exchange, she was almost "lifeless" like a corpse.

Generally speaking, she seldom uses this state. The main usage of this state is to avoid hunting and pretending to be dead. To find out the target, if the two are reduced to almost non-existent, then naturally they will not be found.

It's almost like self-harm, but it works.

Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds...

Lingyan felt dizzy, every muscle and bone in her body protested, her eyes were congested, her ears started to ring, accompanied by a severe headache.

Finally, the paladin leader withdrew his investigation in doubt, then thought carefully for a moment, and rushed towards the direction he thought the other party might be fleeing.

Confirming that the other party was far away, Lingyan released the suppression on her body.

The blood filled instantly, the eyes that were clear in the past were congested and red now, the heart was beating frantically to compensate for the lack just now, and the legs were already so weak that it was difficult to walk.

She forced herself to walk in the opposite direction to the other party, then found a tree to lean against, and rested for a while.

After that, she walked through the jungle and joined her members.

...........................

Qin Ji, who got the map and records, looked at the slightly tired Lingyan in front of him.

After hearing about her experience today, Qin Ji frowned.Lingyan did a very good job this time, but it was too desperate.

"Body... all right?"

Seeing Lingyan's whole body soaked with sweat and the bloodshot eyes that had not yet disappeared, Qin Ji asked worriedly.

Let her investigate, but who would have thought that she would actually be involved in the investigation.

He only needs to know the general strength and defense. As a result, Lingyan is directly pasted under the nose of others to investigate. It's no wonder that it was not discovered.

"It's okay, it's normal, it will be fine in a while." Lingyan leaned on the chair and said with a smile.

Seeing her like this, Qin Ji felt a little distressed:

"I asked you to investigate, but I didn't ask you to investigate so carefully... Don't force it next time, it's almost enough."

"Master, if you were an ordinary soldier, would you ask for that?"

Lingyan asked suddenly.

"This......"

"Now that you are the officer, what you have given me is also a military task. Since you have given me this task, there is no reason for me to be perfunctory."

Lingyan looked into Qin Ji's eyes and said.

"If it's your personal order, young master, then that's fine. But this is your military deployment. In the barracks, can I be perfunctory because of my relationship with young master? In this way, is it a soldier?" Once we have a good relationship with you, can you also allow them to perfunctory in military missions?"

This question made Qin Ji a little speechless.

She was telling the truth.

"I know that you love me, young master, and you are also a human being, but I think, for the sake of your future, it is better to avoid such things in military operations as much as possible-this may affect you in the future."

"You're right, Lingyan," Qin Ji was silent for a moment, "I...I don't understand as well as you do."

"What do you mean 'it's not as good as I understand'? I can't pretend that I didn't hear what you said."

Lingyan said, walked up to Qin Ji, and hugged him with a smile:

"Public and private are clearly distinguished. Isn't this what you often do, young master? I just want to remind you. However, I am really happy that you will care about my safety."

"Hey......"

Qin Ji sighed.

Broken, taken care of.

Chapter 28 Two lines go hand in hand

The attack on Samanjan officially started.

The information given by Lingyan is already detailed enough, Qin Ji has basically figured out the general defense of the enemy in this jungle, and next, it is only necessary to wipe out these sentry posts as quickly as possible without affecting the march of the troops .

After all, it is almost impossible to avoid the sentry post, and there are only a few places with sentry posts in the entire jungle that can guarantee the passage of troops, so this checkpoint is a checkpoint that must be crossed.

Daxia's troops began to enter the jungle on a large scale.

In order to avoid getting lost in the jungle and to ensure the survival rate, almost all troops are fully prepared before entering the jungle. They have confirmed the route and direction in advance, except for the necessary parts of the troops. In addition to food and grass, each soldier also carried enough dry food for several days. In this case, the danger of crossing the jungle can be minimized.

The sentry post is not difficult to solve. In fact, there are only three or four people in these sentry posts, and there are no more than a few dozen people. Even when the troops go all the way to the general ledger, there are only hundreds of defenders here.It can be said that the enemy has not deployed any defenders here at all, but only prepared small-scale troops to report internal news.

Thus, the encounter was over before it even fully unfolded.

The knights in the camp realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately chose to evacuate, and Qin Ji did not really plan to drive out these paladins. The existence of these guys is certainly a threat, but for the army of Great Xia, the hundreds of soldiers now , which also includes a paladin leader, the combat effectiveness of this team must not be underestimated.

On Daxia's side, the troops couldn't deploy due to the terrain. If these knights were forced to fight back, they might suffer many more casualties than the opponent, and waste a lot of time.

Qin Ji would not allow such a thing to happen.Moreover, the opponent's mobility is not much worse than his own. If he insists on fighting, whether he can catch up is also a problem.
