Is it an ambush?

Natalia, who had just retreated after a fight with the opponent, fixed her eyes on the figures that flashed from time to time in the surrounding woods. When she just started fighting with the opponent, she felt that the opponent had no intention of fighting her head-on. It turned out that the opponent was planning to ambush and besiege her.

Glancing at the many bandits who had come out of the woods and surrounded her, her eyes grew serious.

She felt in these bandits the same aura as the veterans who had retreated from the front-line battles that she had seen in Lord Songkani's palace.

Are these the elite bandits I interrogated? I didn’t expect that they were all lying in ambush here waiting for me.

It seems that I may be buried here today.

Natalia had a bitter smile on her face, and her eyes revealed a fierceness.

but……

She would never just sit there and wait for death!

Ever since she chose to embark on the path of transcendence, she has long understood that she has no room for retreat. Now that things have come to this, she might as well give it a try.

With both hands tightly grasping the shining sword, she chose to take the initiative to attack.

Um?

Seeing Natalia, who was gradually surrounded, rushing towards him before being completely surrounded, Edmund was a little surprised. He did not expect that a woman would make such a decisive decision to take the initiative under such circumstances.

"That's right. The extraordinary path of a female knight is much more difficult than the path of an ordinary extraordinary knight. How can one become an extraordinary knight without a strong will?"

Edmund murmured with some appreciation, his eyes narrowed.

"Kill her!"

He raised his right hand and loudly instructed his men around him that they could admire him, but the positions of the enemy and ourselves had to be clearly distinguished.

After receiving the order, the bandits who surrounded Natalia looked at each other in silence and moved quickly.

Five shield-bearing men slowly walked towards Natalia, followed closely by a daggerman. The outermost bandits began to shoot arrows and throw axes at Natalia.

Natalia, who was charging forward with her body bent, had to pay attention to the attacks of arrows and flying axes, which slowed down or even disrupted the pace and rhythm of her charge. In the end, she had to be blocked by five bandits holding large shields in front of her.

With a light shout, she raised the sword in her hand and stabbed it into the gap between them. The red lines on the blade shone with red light.

Ping!

Honas's sword slashed on the large shield in front of him, and the blow with a bit of supernatural power was actually blocked.

This was certainly because he had consumed a lot of energy, and as a weak extraordinary person, his extraordinary power was not strong, but the opponent was able to block it with his strength, which showed that he was different from the small bandits who were killed before.

Looking at the bandit in front of him who was holding a large shield to block his sword, Jonas decisively withdrew.

Like Natalia on the other side, he also guessed that the bandit holding the large shield in front of him was the elite bandit that Paros had mentioned when he interrogated the two survivors.

Behind him, Paros raised his big shield and followed. With this burst of energy, he almost killed his way down the hillside, but the price was that his body felt weak from time to time. If it weren't for the extraordinary strength, his aging body would have collapsed long ago.

But……

Lady Natalia needs my help.

He gritted his teeth. As a transcendent, even if he was a weak transcendent, he could sense the power fluctuations coming from the other side of the hillside. Looking at the several elite bandits who suddenly appeared in front of him, he naturally guessed that Natalia was ambushed there.

Paros looked at the beads of sweat that kept flowing down Jonas's forehead and cheeks, walked to his side silently, and raised the axe.

You want to help the Viscount, right?

"Honas turned his eyes to look at him and nodded heavily."

call……

I'll help you clear the way, you take the opportunity to rush out!"

Paros took a deep breath, clenched the heavy axe in his hand, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Um?

You...” Jonas looked at him in surprise. If that was the case, not to mention whether he could break out to support Lady Natalia, Paros himself would definitely be in danger as he led the way.

Paros opened his mouth wide with his signature ferocious expression, "If the Viscount loses, we probably won't survive, not to mention we don't know if we have a way out."

As an alien, he knows more about the extraordinary people who are more powerful than the aliens in the rumors. The extraordinary person he just met is enough to dominate their life and death now.

Although the person next to him also revealed his extraordinary identity, Honas, who used extraordinary powers, only looked slightly stronger than him. It was still uncertain who would win if they really fought to the death.

But just as there are gaps between people, he could easily think of the gaps between extraordinary people.

What's more, after seeing the afterimage that he couldn't even react to just now, he deeply understood the gap between ordinary people, even aliens, and extraordinary people.

At this time, the old hunter also walked down the mountain road, and behind him, a flame was burning.

Like Honas before him, he cremated Randy, which was what took him some time.

"Paros and I will try our best to hold out."

He raised his bow and aimed at the motionless bandits below.

Jonas looked at the two of them and nodded heavily after a moment.

"Um!"

"Can you guys still hold on?"

Suddenly, a whistling sound from behind interrupted the solemn and heavy atmosphere.

Livia just passed the burning body of Randy and walked quickly down the mountain road. Relying on the terrain from high to low, he took one step, which was almost three or four steps of normal walking.

Looking at the corpses of the bandits and the remaining supernatural powers along the way, he guessed that Honasan was furious because his guards were killed in battle, so he quickened his pace and just caught up with the scene where Paros was about to clear the way for Honasan to support Natalia.

Seeing him almost gliding in the air and falling behind them, Paros and the old hunter looked confused, but Honasan suddenly felt relieved when he looked at him, because he knew Livia's true identity.

However, looking at the wounds on Livia's body that seemed to be caused by supernatural powers, he frowned again. It seemed that although he had eliminated the enemies in the north, his injuries were not clear. In this case, could he still help Lady Natalia?

Livia naturally noticed his eyes and expression. She followed his gaze to look at her tattered leather armor and the wounds all over her body, and understood what he was thinking.

However, he did not care about it. Instead, he felt sad again because he found that the leather armor set rewarded by the system was completely damaged and lost its bonus effect.

this time……

It’s really a big loss.

boom!

A loud noise suddenly came from the other side blocked by the hillside. Paros and the old hunter looked over subconsciously. Unlike the two of them who were attracted by the loud noise, Livia and Honasan were more concerned about the somewhat chaotic power fluctuations emanating from it.

"The rear road has been taken care of. You can retreat there and guard the mountain road entrance with Caius and others."

After speaking quickly, Livia jumped over the steep hillside next to her and rushed to where the sound came from.

Honasan watched him leave without saying anything, his eyes somewhat complicated.

Lady Natalia is counting on you.
