Chapter 74 People who are often saved by beauties can occasionally be heroes and save beauties
Elsa walked on the road to the hideout step by step. She felt much happier here than at the holiday villa at the foot of the mountain. At least not many people would come to talk to her here.
Now she has become socially anxious and doesn't want to be talked to by anyone.
While adventuring in the ruins today, I found the perfect mount option, so I caught one and sent it to Rand.
A centaur, who kept speaking in a language she couldn't understand, but it didn't matter, as long as she could ride it, she had already handed it over to Thes.
When I came to the hideout to report on my work before, I could always hear Rand's mumbling. It seemed that he really wanted to form a cavalry, but he couldn't find a suitable mount.
War horses are too expensive, and it’s okay if there are a small number of them, but they are impossible to buy in large numbers. If you form a cavalry, even if it is only fifty people, there will definitely be losses in the mounts.
To put it coldly, human life is not as valuable as a war horse nowadays. A person can be replaced if he dies, but it is not easy to replace a war horse if it dies or becomes lame.
The war horses that the hideout had bought from Ellie and Olenna were all used by scouts. When the number of war horses was seriously insufficient, allocating the war horses to scouts was the most cost-effective.
In this era without drones or satellites, intelligence can only be transmitted through scouts most of the time.
There might be wizards, but the only high-level spellcaster Rand knew was Ellie, and Ellie was a warlock. According to Ellie, wizards couldn't transmit information very efficiently, and magic carrier pigeons were already the limit.
Ellie and the White King exchanged letters using magic carrier pigeons.
Elsa walked to the Lord's Hall. The blood on the giant snake bones had dried, revealing a hideous look. Every time she came here, she would doubt whether Rand was really as weak as she thought. No one else in the den looked like they could defeat such an exaggerated giant snake. If it wasn't Rand, it meant that there were even more terrifying strong men hiding in the den. Elsa didn't think about it carefully, nor did she care much about whether there was some shocking conspiracy for so many strong men to gather in this small ravine. She just wanted to work honestly for three years and then be free.
Although if possible, she wouldn't want to leave here after she was free.
Elsa suddenly appeared in the lord's hall, knelt on one knee, like a spy, and whispered, "Sir."
Rand was about to respond when his expression changed.
"Oleanna!" Rand roared loudly. Since the incident in the confinement room, Olenna and Lysa had taken turns to serve as Rand's personal guards day and night.
The one guarding at this time was Olenna.
As a top-level professional, Olenna naturally discovered the enemy faster than Rand, but her first priority was to protect Rand.
This was exactly what Rand meant when he asked Olenna to protect Elsa.
Although he didn't think that Elsa, as one of the protagonists of the game "Deep Moon", would meet the end of her life here, it was impossible for him to sit back and do nothing.
Six senior professionals. Rand had never seen so many senior professionals at one time, and they were all the most extreme assassins among thieves.
They emerged from the shadows and attacked Elsa from six directions at the same time when Elsa met Rand, knelt on one knee, and was most relaxed.
Elsa's reaction was also quick. She reacted as soon as the six black shadows appeared.
Ever since she started rebelling against fate, she had been prepared for this day. In fact, she had encountered the same situation many times.
Hiding, being discovered, being hunted, fighting back or escaping, she has traveled to almost every city in the human kingdom.
She has come a long way on the road of exile, but the nightmare of her past seems to be something she can never get rid of, following her like a shadow.
Although she never regretted that resistance, she always felt tired. Perhaps one day she would die in some unknown corner while being hunted down.
But, definitely not now! Her skills, honed over thousands of times, plus the comfort she had during this period of time, allowed her to move faster than she could imagine.
He bent his hind legs slightly, then exerted force and rushed forward a distance, grabbed the dagger of the pursuer in front of him, twisted it backwards, and stabbed it into the pursuer's chest.
He then snatched the dagger and prepared to turn around to parry the attack from behind.
There were six of them this time. Six senior professionals attacked from six directions at the same time. Even the most senior professionals would be in trouble. If they were caught off guard, they might even die.
It's true that Elsa relaxed her vigilance when she arrived at the hideout above the holiday villa. Maybe she felt more at ease here.
Facing six people at the same time, she was basically doomed to die. The reason she resisted was simply because she didn't like to sit there and wait to die.
I could already feel a slight tingling sensation in my back.
At this moment, from the lord's chair at the back of the hall, Rand's voice was heard calling out to Olenna and roaring.
Olenna, who was originally on guard beside Rand, disappeared almost abruptly, leaving an afterimage, and rushed to Elsa in an instant. The thrust of the swift sword directly disrupted the assassin's formation.
Then there was a flash of silver light.
The assassins' formation was disrupted, and in a flash, two of them had their hearts pierced by Olenna's swift sword.
Two of the remaining three were blocked by Elsa's dagger, and one was avoided by Elsa because she was quite flexible and twisted her waist, only leaving a long wound on the body, but no internal organs were injured.
But there were actually not only six assassins who came to kill Elsa, there was a seventh one.
At this moment, a white shadow shot a deadly cold light towards Elsa's heart.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There were not only six people who came to complete the mission, but seven. Ever since they were shaken off by Elsa in the previous pursuits, the family decided to send out a strong enough assassin to avoid any further trouble.
It was a stupid choice to arrange people who were not much stronger than the people being hunted to be sent one by one. After discovering that Elsa was making progress several times, the family decisively sent out the top assassin.
At this moment, the most deadly blade was thrust out, aiming straight at Elsa's heart.
"It's over." Elsa thought that the family's white-robed assassin actually took action personally.
Such an assassin usually carries out the mission of assassinating princes and nobles, but he actually came to end her life personally.
It was obvious that she was not far from the top and had already seen what kind of life she wanted.
The white-robed assassin attacked so quickly that by the time Rand reacted, he had almost stabbed Elsa with the dagger.
But Blessing 2 does not require snapping his fingers to activate. He usually snaps his fingers just to disguise and look cool.
In such an emergency, Rand certainly wouldn't do something as time-wasting as snapping his fingers. Blessing 2 is actually instant!
Just as he was about to thrust it in, desire filled the whole body of the white-robed assassin.
In fact, if it is a one-on-one fight, Blessing 2 is a very dangerous ability, because in a one-on-one fight, Rand is very likely to be defeated.
But in this case, it is a very strong control.
The changes in the body slowed down the white-robed assassin, giving Elsa time to react.
Olenna killed the nearest senior assassin who tried to stop her and rushed towards the white-robed assassin.
Then it was discovered that this white-robed assassin had been hit by Rand's "handsome" ability, which enhanced his physical fitness and recovery ability. However, no matter how much his physical fitness was enhanced, it could not be harder than gold and iron.
When rationality fades, it can be fatal in a battle at the highest level of professionals.
"Goblin Lord: Starting to Get the Saint" is a farming story for the Lord. The plot is slow, the heroine is fast-paced, and the 170,000-word seedling is really a good story.
