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.

"I believe what Sir Ryan just said is true."

"With Sir Ryan's strength, it is enough to defeat Greenwood with one move, and 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, the official disciple, was defeated in one blow. Greenwood is not his 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, and turned back to remind him.

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

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

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

For this capable young woman who had come many times before, Matteo naturally knew the other party's identity and the close working relationship between the other party and his own Lord Ryan.

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

"Did Lord Ryan say when he will 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 for dinner."

"Oh? Dinner time?"

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

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

She saw the little Matteo, who was slightly familiar to her, talking to a capable young woman, but she was 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, and it seemed that he was his contact person in the Sword Bearer.

"Well, but my news is more important, so I'd better inform Lord Ryan as soon as possible. I'll go to the camp to find Lord Ryan directly." 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 where Olena was riding.

I saw a black-robed man in front of the carriage, with a flash of his body, he jumped nimbly onto the empty seat of the co-pilot, and put the dagger in his hand on the back of the coachman's neck, forcing him to control the carriage to stop.

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

"Crack~"

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 on 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 party's aura was probably that of a great knight. At this distance, although she had a witchcraft scroll in her arms, she didn't dare to use it.

Because she was a second-level wizard apprentice, within a range of one meter, even if she wanted to take out the scroll and trigger it, it would take time.

She was very 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 guards to accompany her, but here in the imperial capital, with her level, she was not at the level of arranging guards at the Sword Bearer Headquarters.

And she herself 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 aristocratic hunting clothes 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, her long and round legs are particularly eye-catching.

The noble girl in front of him is Claire.

In fact, it has 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 has 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 entered the level of the peak knight.

And 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 Royal Academy is direct or collateral descendants of major families, and they are well-informed.

Some of Claire's friends even came to ask her if she knew a young man named Renn who was also from the province of Munster.

This surprised Claire, but she just said, ‘I know, what’s wrong? ’

When her friend told Claire about the situation, Claire was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a while and said:

"I don't know if the other party is the one you mentioned. I have to confirm."

But in her heart, Claire was almost 90% certain that the Lord Renn her friend said had killed the strongest legend must be her Renn.

At that time, in Meister's own mansion, Claire knew that Renn's strength would definitely become a legend after she saw Renn's strength in defeating the cult.

But she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

In just a few months, Renne has already become a legend, and it seems that he is also a top player among the legends.

this.

So, today she came specifically to see Ren En. At the same time, she also wanted to give Ren En a surprise, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

She was still very impressed by the capable young woman just now.

At that time, Renne introduced him when he was in Meist, and the other party had also come to his residence several times. He seemed to be an internal staff member 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 had been kidnapped this time, and its purpose was self-evident.

However, there are two people on the other side. If they attack from the front, it is hard to say whether she can fight one against two due to her strength.

What's more important is that in a frontal attack, Claire cannot guarantee to save the opponent.

After thinking about it, Claire pretended not to see what was happening here, and walked straight on the sidewalk without looking away.

The man in black robe next to the coachman looked around, as if he was on guard, or in other words, observing the strength of the people around him. When he saw Claire, his eyes obviously paused for a moment.

Obviously, he found that Claire was not weak.

But when he saw that Claire was relaxed, especially since her hands were not holding the hilt of the knight's sword at her waist, he glanced over again and glanced at the others.

wrong! Just when the other party felt that something was wrong.

In the flash of lightning, Claire's strong and powerful legs suddenly hit the ground, and her whole body was like a female leopard suddenly attacking, rushing towards the car diagonally.

The sudden attack, coupled with the speed boost of Claire's bloodline talent, made the man in black robe sitting next to the coachman try to stop him with his eyes wide open, but it was too late.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a beautiful figure rushing into the rear compartment.

"boom!"

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

"clang!"

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

Olena, with a look of joy on her face, immediately took out the defensive witchcraft scroll from her arms, and a light blue film enveloped her body.

As the carriage fell apart, passers-by screamed.

The two men in black robes glanced at Olena and then gave Claire a sharp look, knowing that this mission would most likely fail.

But just returning empty-handed like this will definitely lead to punishment within the church.

So, if you can't take it back alive, you can take it back dead.

And although this noble girl was pretty good, she was only on par with them. She was just caught off guard just now.

The most important thing is that there are two of them. If they attack from the front and back, they can also solve each other in a short time.

The two people exchanged glances quickly, then rushed towards Claire, one after the other. This made Claire's heart tighten, and she immediately took a defensive posture with her sword horizontally crossed.

But just when the other two were about to attack her, suddenly, the person 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 Ren's mansion!

"Oops!" Claire looked shocked, but she still didn't understand that the other party's target had always been Olena.

The two black-robed assassins were very powerful. Just when they were about to catch up with Olena and their faces were filled with joy, suddenly, a whirring sound broke through the air to their left.

When the two of them looked sideways, their pupils suddenly shrank!

Because what was attacking them was an extraordinarily huge round shield.

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

For a moment, the two of them did not dare to fight head-on. They immediately stopped and dodged the shield attack. However, because of this setback, a strong female barbarian warrior holding a battle ax in one hand suddenly jumped between them and the target. .

"Another one?"

The two of them couldn't help being shocked and angry!

Is this a stab in the woman's nest?

It is rare to see a strong female knight.

And there are even fewer female warriors.

But two of them suddenly appeared in front of me. What a hell!

Time waits for no one, and at this moment, they have heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from all around.

This is the imperial capital of Tamriel, and a minute or two is enough for the patrol to arrive.

They had to take action immediately, but they bent their knees slightly and were about to launch an attack. At this time, the shield whirred back, which made the two of them even more speechless!

Mudd!

"Bang!"

One of them turned around and kicked the shield up into the air, but the battle axe in Lagre's hand chopped down on his head!

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

"Ding!"

The person who came was Claire. Although she had never seen Lagre, she saw that the other party rushed out of 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 team.

So Claire immediately took the lead in fighting, and the main strategy was to advance when the enemy retreats, and retreat when the enemy advances, making you uncomfortable.

The movement here at this time naturally attracted the patrol personnel around.

"I am the Imperial Sword Bearer, and these two black-robed people are 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 a rough judgment in their hearts.

After all, which of the two beauties and the two black robes do you think is the enemy?

It’s easy to tell who is a human being.

Not to mention the capable young woman in front of him, who has also stated her identity.

“Surround them!” The captain of the knights gave an order, and the guards immediately surrounded them.

At the same time, the cry of griffins sounded 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 robes saw this scene, they immediately went crazy and broke out.

“Puff!”

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

At the same time, Lagre flashed in front of another black robe with a huge shield in his hand, and blocked the other party back.

The black robe 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 with his head raised.

Another black-robed man who fell to the ground showed a ruthless 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 cult doctrine were so fearless. Ordinary assassin organizations were not as fearless as them.

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

And Olena naturally 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 coachman."

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

Olena is worthy of being a person in the imperial system. She explained the situation clearly in a few words and spared the introduction of 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. Is he 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 couldn't help but look at each other. The one who made the deputy director of the reception office say his boss must be a big shot in the Sword Bearer headquarters.

Moreover, why did they hear the name Ryan sound familiar.

"Is it Lord Ryan who defeated Harold the Sculptor?" The bearded griffin knight suddenly looked surprised and suspicious.

"Yes, sir."

"I understand, Deputy Director Olena, we will hand over the matter here after your staff arrives."

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

"Haha, you're welcome."

At this time, Olena walked to Claire, 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 asked her to send messages several times to remind the other party of the cult attack.

And the other party was the 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, while putting away the knight's long 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 also walked to Lagre and bowed slightly to thank her.

"Norton tribe, Lagre."

Hmm?

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

Olena was slightly stunned and quickly looked at the other party. The barbarian girl is so exotic. Her boss is really...

However, Olena quickly glanced at the two women with her beautiful eyes and 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.

And, looking at the expressions of the two women looking at each other, it seems that they don't know each other.

This is interesting.

But the problem is that now Lord Ryan is not here, and she is caught 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 own master.

"You two, the other party should be a cultist. Should we send someone to notify Lord Ryan immediately?" Olena, who was attacked, 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 little nervous. Could these two people

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

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

"Good day, Lord Harlowen." 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.

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

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

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 headquarters of the imperial capital, and some things are hard to say. In addition, I am 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 there are similar witchcraft detection devices. Wizards of unknown origin will be checked and tested for breath, etc.

Because those cultists, once they have participated in the prayer ceremony of a certain god, they will more or less carry the special breath 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 wizards, then it is difficult to detect them.

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

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

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

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

"By the way, Lord Ryan, I came here to receive urgent intelligence from Major General Tatia, saying that the Secret Snake Cult sent the 'Twin Snakes' among 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 turned their eyes to Ryan.

Although they did not know the strength of the 'Twin Snakes', since it was urgent intelligence issued by the Sword Bearer Headquarters, the strength of these two people should be very strong, so strong that Ryan also needs to pay attention.

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

"Yes, Lord Ryan, I have collected it for you." Olena said as she took out a piece of information and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan nodded, took it and started reading.

Ryan was very satisfied with Olena, the 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 costume of the Sword Bearer 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 members of the Black Flame Cult."

"Black Flame Cult?" Ryan frowned slightly.

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

Now two cult organizations have come to him.

Perhaps, in the near future, other cult organizations will come to him, such as the Poseidon Cult and so on.

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

This gave Ryan an idea. Although his own strength was the cornerstone, it was still necessary to build some power. Apart from other things, the safety of his family and friends could 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 was not the first time Ryan had this idea.

But before this, Ryan believed that a person had limited energy and could not improve his strength and build power at the same time.

Even the beautiful woman Jennifer, what she formed was more of a chamber of commerce, which was different from the kind of power that Ryan mentioned, or in other words, the chamber of commerce was only a small part of the power.

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

Yes! He could let Claire take the lead in this matter!

And he only had to be responsible for constantly improving his strength.
