Summoning the Holy Sword

"Huh ... it's full."

Annie stretched out and said with a contented smile.

"You eat too much, Annie."

Li Jie walked aside and shook her head helplessly.

"That's a three-person portion. I really don't know how you eat it. In my case, I'm afraid I can't eat so many things anyway ... and spent so much money that shouldn't be spent, you Ever wondered how to explain it to Marin when you go back? "

"Hey?"

After hearing Li Jie's words, Annie's complexion changed slightly, then she smiled with her hands together and came to Li Jie's side.

"Sister Li Jie, you don't need to report this to Malin, just eat a little, and Anne eats very carefully? Absolutely nothing wasted?"

"Really ..."

Looking at Annie's smile, Li Jie sighed helplessly, she shook her head and said nothing, but focused her eyes on the girl who had been silent next to her.

"Christie, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Or is there anything else you want to buy?"

"what?"

Upon hearing Li Jie's soft inquiry, Christie returned to her dreams like a dream, then she quickly clasped the package in her hand, and at the same time showed a shy smile to Annie and Li Jie, then shook her head slightly. .

"... I'm not in a bad mood, Li Jie ... I'm just thinking, when will Rhode be back ..."

With that said, Christy's complexion became a little depressed again.

"... I drew so many beautiful pictures ... I really hope Rhodes can see ..."

"Just rest assured, Christie, he will definitely be back in a few days."

Seeing Christie's slightly depressed face, Annie immediately laughed, and then she stroked the girl's long hair gently, and at the same time made a confident prediction.

"Don't Sister Marin have said that before? The head of the delegation will definitely be back soon. This time they are not doing any special tasks, so don't worry about it ..."

"That's right."

Although Li Jie herself was a bit worried about whether Rhodes and others would encounter any accidents, of course she could not expose such emotions to Christie at this moment. So Li Jie hurriedly squatted down, pressing Christie's shoulder and staring at the girl's eyes.

"There is nothing to worry about, Christie, Mr. Rhodes is a very smart, brave and strong man. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him. Maybe when you go back, Mr. Rhode is already waiting for you. Get up, okay? "

"Ok……"

Upon hearing Anne's comfort, Christie's somewhat unhappy expression had become a lot easier, she nodded slightly, and then smiled at Li Jie. Seeing Christie's response, Li Jie also smiled back. She reached out and helped the girl straighten her beautiful long hair, and then said.

"So it's getting late, and we should ..."

The rapid horseshoe interrupted Li Jie's speech, the girl looked up, and saw a group of heavily armed knights rushing towards Mayang. Pedestrians on the street also evaded. Seeing that these knights were going to be next to her, Li Jie also stood up quickly, took Christie's hand and hid beside him, but Annie poked her lips, showing a little dismissive expression on her face.

But the three of them did not expect that when the knights came to them, they slowed down and surrounded the three.

"Who are you and what do you want to do ?!"

Annie's response was the quickest. The moment the knights surrounded them, the girl had taken off the heavy gold shield on her back, blocking Li Jie and Christie, and watching the knight in vigilance.

"Are you from the Star Mercenary Corps?"

But the Cavaliers did not answer Anne's question. Instead, the head of them asked back.

Facing their inquiries, Annie and Li Jie frowned in unison, apparently they both found that things didn't seem easy. However, they did not immediately answer the knight's question, but looked around vigilantly. Li Jie guarded Christy, who was at a loss, and Anne moved cautiously and cautiously to the left. After blocking the dead end of the opponent's attack, he answered.

"Yes, we are indeed members of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment. Who are you?"

"We are the Deep Rock City Defense Forces!"

The headed knight waved his hand, pulled out his sword, and pointed at the three.

"Now, in the name of the garrison, I ask you to drop your weapons immediately and follow us!"

"Defense team?"

Upon hearing the other's answer, Annie looked suspicious. She quietly rolled her eyes as if thinking about something. At this moment, Li Jie quietly pushed Anne from behind, and then she winked and motioned to Annie to look at the saddle of the warhorse under these knights ... On it, there were clearly carved complex and gorgeous The pattern, the ordinary defensive team will never have this kind of saddle, and these complex, gorgeous but consistent shape saddle will only appear on one kind of person.

That is the aristocratic personal soldier!

"Lay down your weapon immediately!"

Seeing that Annie didn't respond, the headed soldier shouted again, and at this moment, many people had already noticed the strangeness and came forward to see what happened. Facing the roar of the other party again, Annie seemed to be giving in. She bent down and put the heavy gold shield in her hand on the ground. Then, the girl waved suddenly.

"Oh!"

The huge impact immediately smashed the knight in front of Annie with the horse and flew out. The people and horses flying in the air hit the unsuspecting colleagues behind them, and then fell into the crowd. There was chaos all around for a while, and at this moment, the knights drank their weapons and rushed at the three.

"Hurry up!"

Annie raised her shield again to block the attack of another knight, and at this time Lijie had already pulled Christie into the crowd from the previous gap. Then Annie followed closely, and once again blocked the attack from the Cavaliers, Li Jie decisively withdrew, quickly away from this right and wrong place.

"what did you say?!"

Upon hearing Joey's report, Malin opened her eyes unbelievably. Rhode frowned, and asked.

"What's going on, make it clear!"

"Is such that."

Maybe it was infected by Rhodes' calm attitude, and Joey's speech was smoother.

"I went to the mercenary association to do something just now, but I heard that our people had conflict with the city guards in the market area and hurt a lot of people. This made me feel a little worried, so I plan to go to the market area to take a look Look, but I did n’t expect that when I arrived at the market area, it was completely blocked off. According to what I heard, it was said that the mob was to be searched. When I asked those people, I found Hecheng The guards clashed. It was Miss Li Jie and Lord Anne! "

"……How is this going?"

Upon hearing Joey's report, Marlene was stunned and had no idea what to do. Annie is still hard to say, will Li Jie have such an impulse?

"When did this happen?"

Until then, Rhodes, who had been silent, asked.

"About an hour, and an hour and a half ago. Head, what shall we do? I have asked Lando to convene other brothers. Would you like to send them to look for them?"

"no need."

But Rhode's answer was unexpected.

"Joy, go get Old Walker and let him investigate immediately to see what is going on, what other people are saying, remember to investigate the consequences and what happened then Clear. Then I want you to notify Shana and Kavos, and let them restrain their mercenaries and stand by at any time. Marin, you and I have seven loves, let's see what is going on! "

Inside the dark tunnel, there was a smell of rancidity.

"Huh ... huh ..."

Annie stooped down and watched the situation secretly from the gap. She twitched her small nose and stared at the outside with a grim expression.

"Why the **** are these guys, so annoying! Who are they?"

"Should not be a city guard."

Li Jie, who was hiding behind Annie, hugged Christie in her arms tightly and replied in a low voice.

"And I don't think they are like ordinary personal soldiers. It is impossible for ordinary noble personal soldiers to have such a coat of arms, which is too strange anyway. And ..." Said here, the girl never said anymore. She just paused, then closed her mouth.

"Damn!"

Annie slammed her on the ground, and she gritted her teeth, but couldn't say anything. The original intention of the three was to escape to the stronghold while chaosing. However, they did not expect that the entire market area was completely closed, and they could not escape at all. Because of this, the three had to temporarily hide in an abandoned empty house to avoid the search by the knights.

"Sister Marin should come to us if she finds that we haven't gone back."

"Um ... but ..."

Li Jie shook her head, she always felt that things were not easy. To be sure, these knights are definitely not a real defensive team. One of the most important reasons is that Li Jie and Annie have lived here for many years. They are considered to be the land snakes here. They are no strangers to them . Now, there are people who don't even know their existence, which is enough to make Li Jie suspicious, but they pretend to be defensive teams, but dare to block the entire market area boldly-are they not afraid of causing any trouble ?
