Chapter 405 Attack

"That metal magic just now is rare?"

"Does anyone know what kind of magic it is?"

"I don't know, but judging from the power, the defense of a general third-level magic can't withstand Carl's teleportation slash."

For a while, the others were talking about it.

Carl stared blankly at the two-handed sword with only the hilt left, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sir Ryan, I lost!"

The other party's straightforward attitude of admitting defeat made Ryan feel a little good about him.

At this time, another young man who was also wearing a linen coat on the side, his face flushed, took a step forward, and seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Carl

's hand. "I believe what Sir Ryan just said is true."

"With Sir Ryan's strength, it is enough to defeat Greenwood with one move. There is no need to say that to him."

Hearing Carl's words, the young man seemed to understand something and nodded slightly.

The reason is indeed very simple. Even Carl, a formal disciple, was defeated in one blow. Greenwood is not the opponent at all. The elephant does not need to and will not talk back to the ant.

"Sir Ryan, but not everyone thinks the same way as I do, especially Sir Lambert, the teacher's eldest disciple." Carl paused as he left, then turned back to remind him.

"Thank you." Ryan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just when Ryan was challenged in the Dragon Knight Reserve Camp, Olena immediately rushed to the Ryan Mansion after receiving the news sent by Major General Tatia.

Since Ryan was not there, Olena was received by the short man Matteo.

As for this capable young woman who had come many times before, Matteo naturally knew her identity and the close working relationship between her and his own Lord Ryan.

"Sir Olena, Lord Ryan went to the Dragon Knight Reserve Camp with Lord Luther and Lord Harlowin early in the morning." The short man Matteo did not hide it from the capable young woman who hurried over.

"Did Lord Ryan say when he would be back?" Olena said with a slightly worried look on her face.

Seeing Olena's expression, Matteo immediately understood that there must be something urgent. After thinking for a while, he said, "Lord Ryan didn't say, but it will probably be at least in the afternoon. But he will definitely be back at dinner time."

"Oh? Dinner time?"

"Yes, because Miss Lagre is here, Lord Ryan will definitely be back at dinner time." Matteo said.

At this time, it happened that Lagre had not fallen asleep yet. She heard someone mention her name downstairs. She immediately got up and looked out of the second-floor window.

She saw the petite Matteo, who she was slightly familiar with, talking to a capable young woman. She was just a little surprised why Matteo mentioned her name.

But soon, she heard the three words "Olena", and immediately remembered that Ryan had mentioned this person in front of her. It seemed that he was his contact person in the Sword Bearer.

"Well, but my news is more important, so I'd better tell Lord Ryan as soon as possible. Well, I'll go directly to the camp to find Lord Ryan." Olena nodded and said.

She just got the news about the Secret Snake Cult, and she thought she should inform Lord Ryan as soon as possible.

As Olena left the mansion and got on the carriage again, the coachman slowly drove the carriage.

Suddenly, two black-robed men came from the roadside, one in front and one behind, and quickly walked towards the carriage Olena was riding. The black-robed

man in front of the carriage swayed and nimbly jumped onto the empty seat of the co-pilot. He put the dagger in the back of the coachman's neck and forced him to stop the carriage.

This made Olena in the carriage feel a little strange. She didn't ask him to stop, so why did the coachman stop?

"Squeak~"

The door of the carriage opened, and a black-robed man rushed in as agile as a squirrel.

"Don't get excited, Ms. Olena, and don't shout or resist, otherwise, there will be more holes in your beautiful body." The black-robed man pointed a thin sword at Olena with a smile on his face.

Olena's body froze. The other person's aura was probably that of a great knight. At this distance, although she had a sorcery scroll in her arms, she didn't dare to use it.

Because as a second-level wizard apprentice, she would need time to take out the scroll and trigger it within a one-meter range.

She was sure that once she did so, it would be too late.

This made Olena's heart sink to the bottom.

If she were in Munster, she would arrange for guards to accompany her, but here in the imperial capital, with her level, she was not yet at the level of the Sword Bearer Headquarters to arrange guards.

In her heart, she also tacitly agreed that the safety of the imperial capital was guaranteed, so naturally she would not ask Ryan for a guard.

At this time, a young woman in a noble hunting suit not far away, with a pair of beautiful eyes watching the scene just now, with a thoughtful look on

her face. In addition to her outstanding appearance, the other party's round long legs were particularly eye-catching.

The noble girl in front of her was Claire.

In fact, it had been a while since she returned to the Imperial Capital Royal Academy from Meister.

But some time ago, she was in a critical period of improving her strength, so she had been meditating in the academy.

At this moment, because of the stimulation of her family bloodline, her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she has already entered the level of the top knight.

In the past few days, even in the Imperial Capital Royal Academy, the news that the "Sculptor" Harold was killed has caused quite a stir.

After all, most of the people in the Royal Academy are direct or collateral descendants of major families, and they are well-informed.

Even a few of Claire's friends came to ask her if she knew a young man named Ryan from the same province of Munster.

This surprised Claire, but she only said, "I know, what's the matter?"

When her friend told Claire about the situation, Claire was also shocked for a long time and didn't come back to her senses. She said:

"I don't know if the other party is the one you are talking about. I have to confirm it."

But in fact, Claire was almost 90% sure that the Lord Ryan who killed the strongest legend mentioned by her friend must be her Ryan.

At that time, in Meister's own mansion, Claire saw the strength shown by Ryan in defeating the cult, and knew that Ryan's strength must be able to enter the legend.

But she didn't expect it to be so fast.

In just a few months, Ryan has entered the legend, and it seems that he is also a top-level legend.

So

, today she came to Ryan on purpose, and at the same time, she also wanted to give Ryan a surprise, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

She still had a deep impression of the capable young woman just now.

At that time, Ryan introduced her in Meister, and the other party also came to her mansion several times. It seems that she is an internal staff of the Sword Bearer of the Munster branch.

Although she didn't know how the other party appeared in the imperial capital, it was obvious that the other party was kidnapped this time, and the purpose was self-evident.

However, there were two people on the other side. If she attacked from the front, it was hard to say whether she could fight two people with her strength.

More importantly, if she attacked from the front, Claire could not guarantee to save the other party.

After thinking for a while, Claire pretended not to see what happened here, and walked straight on the sidewalk without looking sideways.

The black-robed man next to the coachman looked around, as if he was alert, or observing the strength of the pedestrians around him. When he saw Claire, his eyes obviously stayed for a while.

Obviously, he found that Claire was not weak.

However, when he saw that Claire was very relaxed, especially when her hands were not holding the hilt of the knight's long sword at her waist, he glanced at the others again.

No! Just when the other party felt something was wrong.

In a flash, Claire's strong legs suddenly touched the ground, and the whole person rushed towards the carriage like a female leopard that suddenly attacked.

The sudden attack, coupled with the speed boost from Claire's bloodline talent, made the black-robed man sitting next to the driver want to stop it, but it was too late.

He just turned around and saw a beautiful figure rushing into the rear carriage.

"Bang!"

At this time, the black-robed man inside naturally realized that something was wrong, and immediately showed a fierce look on his face, and the knight's sword in his hand was about to stab the capable young woman Olena.

"Dang!"

At this time, it was blocked by another knight's sword.

Olena was delighted, and immediately took out the defensive witchcraft scroll from her arms, and a light blue film enveloped her.

As the carriage fell apart, passers-by around screamed.

The two black-robed men glanced at Olena, and then looked at Claire fiercely, knowing that this mission was likely to fail.

However, if they returned empty-handed, they would definitely be punished by the church.

Then, if they couldn't bring them back alive, dead ones would be fine.

Moreover, although the noble girl was quite strong, she was only on par with them, and she was just caught off guard.

The most important thing was that there were two of them, and if they attacked from the front and back, they could also defeat the opponent in a short time.

The two of them exchanged glances quickly, and then rushed towards Claire one after the other, which made Claire's heart tense, and she immediately held her sword horizontally in a defensive posture.

But just when the two of them were about to attack her, suddenly, the man in front threw a gray bottle at her.

As the bottle shattered and smoke came out, the two of them turned around at the same time and attacked Olena who was running towards the Ryan Mansion!

"Oh no!" Claire was shocked, and she didn't understand that the opponent's target had always been Olena.

The two black-robed assassins were quite strong. Just when the two were about to catch up with Olena and showed joy on their faces, suddenly, a whirring sound of breaking through the air sounded from their left.

When the two of them turned their heads to look, their pupils suddenly shrank!

Because the thing that attacked them was actually an extremely large round shield.

The whirring sound just now was the sound of the shield spinning at high speed!

For a moment, the two dared not to take it head-on, and immediately stopped suddenly to avoid the attack of the shield, but because of this setback, a nimble barbarian female warrior holding a battle axe suddenly jumped between them and the target person.

"Another one?"

The two couldn't help but be shocked and angry!

Is this poking a woman's nest?

Usually, it is rare to see strong female knights.

And there are even fewer female warriors.

But two of them suddenly appeared in front of them, what a hell!

Time waits for no one. At this moment, they have heard the neat footsteps coming from all around.

This is the imperial capital of Tamriel. One or two minutes is enough for the patrol to arrive.

They have to take action immediately, but they bent their knees slightly and just wanted to launch an attack. At this time, the shield whirred back again, which made the two even more speechless!

Damn!

"Bang!"

One of them turned around and kicked the shield from bottom to top, but the battle axe in Lagre's hand chopped him down on the head!

The other man in black robe was about to help, but suddenly, a strong wind came from behind him, and he quickly turned around to block it!

"Dang!"

The person who came was Claire. Although she had never seen Lagre, she saw that the other party rushed out from the Ryan Mansion, so she was undoubtedly a friend, not an enemy.

Now, the situation is reversed.

As long as she can entangle the two black-robed assassins for a minute or two, the other party will be surrounded by the patrol.

So, Claire immediately took the approach of fighting in a mobile manner, and the main strategy was to advance when the enemy retreats, and retreat when the enemy advances, so as to make you uncomfortable.

The movement here at this time naturally attracted the surrounding patrols.

"I am the Imperial Sword Bearer, and these two black-robed assassins." Olena, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately revealed her identity and shouted when she saw a team of patrol guards coming. Before

the guards arrived, they had taken a look at the situation on the field and had roughly judged it in their hearts.

After all, between two beauties and two black-robed assassins, who would you think is the enemy?

It's easy to tell who is a human.

Not to mention that the capable young woman in front of him now has revealed her identity.

"Surround them!" The captain of the knights gave an order, and a group of guards immediately surrounded them.

At the same time, the cry of griffins rang out in the sky, and a team of three griffins swooped down here.

This is the defense of the imperial capital Tamriel. Someone must arrive within two minutes.

When the two black-robed men saw this, they immediately went crazy and rushed out without dodging.

"Puff!"

Claire immediately seized the opportunity and burst out with all her strength, stabbing a black-robed man in the back.

At the same time, Lagre held a huge shield and dodged in front of another black-robed man, blocking him back.

The black-robed man looked desperate, and it seemed that he had bitten something in his mouth, and a stream of black blood immediately flowed out. The whole person trembled a few times and fell down with his head raised.

The other black-robed man who fell to the ground showed a cruel look on his face, and fell to the ground in the same way!

"Cult?" Claire's eyes condensed and said.

Only those fanatics who were influenced by the teachings of the cult were so fearless and fearless. Ordinary assassin organizations did not have such fearlessness of death.

At this time, the griffin in the sky had landed, and three griffin knights jumped off the griffin.

Olena also walked up from the back and said, "My Lords, I am Olena, the deputy director of the reception department of the Sword Bearer Headquarters. These two black-robed men just attacked and killed my driver."

"Thanks to the help of these two, I was spared."

Olena is indeed a person in the imperial system. She explained the situation clearly in a few words and omitted the identity of the barbarian girl Lagre.

Hmm?

From the Sword Bearer Headquarters?

The leading griffin knight was a mighty middle-aged man with a beard. After hearing Olena's introduction, his eyes jumped and he looked up and down. A second-level wizard apprentice?

Obviously, the other party is a civilian staff, but the deputy director of the reception office said that this matter should be taken seriously.

"Deputy Director Olena, leave this to us. We will investigate the situation this time."

"I suggest that the Sword Bearer take over, because I suspect that although the other party's target is me, it may eventually be my boss, Lord Ryan." Olena said with a serious face.

"Lord Ryan?" The three griffins looked at each other in surprise. Someone who could be called his superior by a deputy director of the reception office must be a big shot in the Sword Bearer Headquarters.

Moreover, why did the name Ryan sound familiar to them?

"Is it Lord Ryan who defeated Harold the Sculptor?" The bearded griffin knight suddenly said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, sir."

"I see, Deputy Director Olena. We will hand over the matter here after your personnel arrive."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Olena bowed slightly.

"Haha, you're polite."

At this time, Olena walked to Claire's side, bowed slightly, and thanked her:

"You should be Miss Claire, right? Thank you for your help this time."

Just now, Olena recognized the young noblewoman who saved her. It was Claire, whom she had met several times. She also knew that she had a close relationship with her boss, Lord Ryan.

Because Ryan had asked her to send messages several times to warn the other party of the cult attack.

Moreover, the other party was the legitimate daughter of Count Habsburg, and she was from the same province of Munster as her, so she was naturally more friendly.

"Hello, it's me." Claire said as she put away her knight's sword and walked to Olena's side.

However, after looking at Olena, she looked at the barbarian girl not far away.

The woman's wonderful intuition told her that the relationship between the girl and Ryan should be unusual.

"Hello, I'm Olena, thank you for your help." Olena immediately walked to Lagre and bowed slightly to thank her.

"Norton tribe, Lagre."

Hmm?

So this is the Lagre that the little man Matteo just mentioned?

Olena was slightly stunned and quickly looked at the other party. The barbarian girl was exotic, and her boss was really...

However, Olena's beautiful eyes quickly glanced at the two women, and she felt a little strange in her heart.

She always had a feeling that the barbarian girl in front of her seemed to have a close relationship with her boss, Lord Ryan.

Moreover, judging from the expressions of the two women looking at each other, they didn't seem to know each other.

This is interesting.

But the problem is that Lord Ryan is not here now, and she is in the middle. Immediately, Olena decided to quickly divert the attention of the two.

Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, she is afraid that it will be difficult to explain to her master.

"You two, the other party should be a cultist. Should we send someone to notify Lord Ryan immediately?" After being attacked, Olena naturally would not consider going to the camp alone again.

The two women who were originally looking at each other seemed to be diverted by this question and nodded immediately.

Half an hour later, Ryan, Luther, and Harlowen, who received the news, flew back to the mansion quickly.

Before Ryan landed, he found that in addition to Lagre, Claire, who had not been seen for a long time, was also in the open space of the mansion.

He immediately felt a pang in his heart. Could it be that these two people

"Hey Claire, you came to the imperial capital, why didn't you tell me." Ryan jumped off the horned eagle beast and greeted Claire first.

"Ryan, long time no see. I have only been in the imperial capital for a short time. I have been consolidating my strength for some time. I just found out yesterday that you also came to the imperial capital." Claire smiled and said.

"Miss Claire, long time no see." Harlowen bowed slightly when he saw Claire.

As the most promising heir of the Duke of Munster, he was naturally familiar with Claire, a female knight genius who also came from Munster.

"Lord Harlowen, good day." Claire bowed and said.

"Lagre, thank you." Ryan said.

"Yeah." With outsiders present, the barbarian girl didn't say much, just nodded.

He was worried that Lagre and Claire would not get along well .

After all, unlike Anna, Lagre and Claire were not familiar with each other.

Moreover, one of them was a talented female knight, and the other was a rare female barbarian warrior. If they were to compete, he would be in trouble. It would be a standard "shuras".

Fortunately, at present, the two did not have any conflicts.

"Sir Olena, are you okay?" Ryan came to Olena and comforted her.

"It's okay, Lord Ryan, thanks to the timely help of the two ladies, otherwise, I'm afraid this time..."

"It's my fault. You came to the Imperial Capital Headquarters, and some things are hard to say. In addition, I was too confident about the safety of the Imperial Capital." Ryan said with some self-blame.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Ryan. The Imperial Capital Tamriel has strict entry and exit inspections, and has similar witchcraft detection devices. Wizards of unknown origin will be checked, and breath detection will be carried out, etc.

Because once those cultists have participated in the prayer ceremony of a certain god, they will more or less carry the special aura of that god.

Of course, all inspections have loopholes.

Because if they have just joined the cult, have not yet performed specific cult rituals, and are not yet wizards, then it is difficult to detect.

This is why the two cultists just now are all knights.

Moreover, it is likely that the two have joined the cult not long ago, and the aura on their bodies is still relatively pure.

"Uh, Lord Ryan, it was my own carelessness." Olena waved her hand and said.

Olena, who is well versed in the unspoken rules of the system, naturally will not let her boss bear this responsibility.

"By the way, Lord Ryan, I came here because I received urgent intelligence from Major General Tatia, saying that the Secret Snake Cult sent the 'Twin Snakes' of the Twelve Secret Snake Messengers to lurk in the imperial capital area." "

According to the analysis of the Intelligence Hall, the other party's target is 70% likely to be you."

Hearing Olena's words, everyone present, including Claire and Harlowen who were greeting each other, shut their mouths and fixed their eyes on Ryan.

Although they didn't know the strength of the 'Twin Snakes', since it was urgent intelligence from the Sword Bearer headquarters, the two should be very strong, so strong that Ryan had to pay attention to them.

"Oh? Do you have specific information about them?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, I have collected it for you." As Olena said, she took out a document and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan nodded and started reading it.

Ryan was very satisfied with Olena as a contact. She had rich work experience and worked well with him. Basically, whatever he had in mind, the other party could consider and prepare in advance.

At this time, a young man in the Sword Bearer's clothes suddenly came to the door of the mansion. He bowed slightly to Ryan and Olena and said:

"Lord Ryan, Your Excellency Olena, although the two assassins have committed suicide, we have basically confirmed their identities. They should be followers of the Black Flame Cult."

"Black Flame Cult?" Ryan frowned slightly.

It seems that the consequences of the conservative nobles' last leak of the details of his mission in the Sword Bearer have begun to slowly appear.

Two cults have already approached him.

Perhaps, in the near future, there will be other cults that will come to him, such as the Poseidon Cult.

He himself is not afraid, but the problem is the safety of his family and friends.

This gave Ryan an idea. Although his own strength is the cornerstone, it is still necessary to build some power. Apart from other things, the safety of his family and friends can at least be taken care of.

For example, if the cult knew about Claire's relationship with him and attacked the Habsburg family mansion far away in Meister, he could not teleport there instantly to resolve the crisis.

This is not the first time Ryan has had this idea.

But before this, Ryan believed that a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to improve his strength and build a power.

Even the beautiful woman Jennifer's side, what they formed is more of a chamber of commerce, which is different from the power that Ryan said, or in other words, the chamber of commerce is only a small part of the power.

Speaking of Claire, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Ryan's mind.

Yes! I can let Claire take the lead in this matter!

And he only needs to be responsible for his strength to continue to improve bravely.
