It's not impossible for someone to rob someone and then quickly escape!
Sword Hero: Miss Hiro is right.
Now is not the time to back down. Let's review the battle plan one last time. (liu)
first……】
First, apart from Miluko, the other seven people were divided into three groups.
Hilo, Layton, and Airo formed a group of three.
Sisley and Sephie are paired up.
Annie and Lycorina are paired up.
Each group must have at least one person with high magic power.
Among them, Shiloh and two others formed a feint attack group.
In the plan, Airo would be the first to use a fire attack on the carriage.
First, use "magic" to attack, making the enemy mistake them for elves, which also attracts the enemy's attention.
When the demons discovered Airo, Hilo and Layton assisted and protected him.
Sisley and Sephiroth were not on the front lines of the battle, but rather within the limits of their abilities.
It's about staying within the range of the skill's coverage, avoiding direct confrontation on the battlefield.
Once the battle is confirmed to begin, Sislin will use amplification skills on the three members of the feint attack team.
Meanwhile, Lycorina on the other side will also activate [Inspire].
Firstly, it provides attributes to the three characters.
Secondly, it was also to increase An Yi's speed.
Because Annie and Lycorina are the real rescue team!
When all the demons' attention is drawn to the feint attack group and they are engaged in battle, that's when An Yi will destroy the prison wagon.
Their positions were also different from the others.
Everyone else kept a certain distance from the main road and moved around in the crowd.
But Annie and Lycorina stood directly at the front of the crowd.
Next, once the prison van reaches their location, it will be less than three meters away!
After the prison van arrived, the plan began based on An Yi's reminder.
The rescue team's mission was to destroy the carriage and take Irene away, while Lycorina cast [Holy Healing] and [Purification].
Since we didn't know if she was injured or had any negative symptoms, we decided to treat her first.
Ideally, Irene should be able to engage in combat immediately and then help Annie and Lycorina break through the encirclement.
The less than ideal situation is that Irene is too weak to fight.
But that doesn't matter.
Because when things get to that point, it's time for Milu to make her move.
All that's needed for Lycorina to hold out with the barrier for a while is for Miluko to arrive at their location at top speed and take them directly to the tunnel.
Once Milu enters the range of [Inspire], coupled with the bonus from Goblin equipment, her Agility can rise to 49 in one go.
Moreover, she has a skill that can increase speed. At that time, these demons with the highest agility of only 35 will run their legs off and still not be able to see Miluko's butt.
To them, it appeared as a golden barrier unfolded, and then a black shadow flashed and the two people and the elf inside disappeared.
There is absolutely no room for reaction.
Meanwhile, after the feint attack team withstood the first wave of attacks, the rescue team had just managed to rescue Irene.
At this point, the other demons attacking the feint group would most likely retreat to defend, so Hilo could stop fighting and retreat with Layton and Airo.
They retreated all the way to where Sislin and Sephiroth were. At this point, with the buffs of [Encouragement] and [Lightness Spell], Silo's agility reached 35+, which was something that the demons could not catch up with.
At this point, everyone had successfully evacuated and returned to the tunnel.
No one was injured, the losses were minimal, and the wanted demon criminal was successfully rescued.
Now all we need to do is pray that nothing goes wrong.
...
On the other side, the Sword Demon Ferdinand had already left the mansion, but he did not appear in the escorting procession.
He is the lord of this place; even if the prisoners are of utmost importance, he shouldn't be present in the main escort team.
By appearing in the escort team, didn't he also become a lowly escort?
Let's save the cheers for when we hand the criminals over to the royal servants in the square.
Ferdinand stood in the shadows, his body concealed by a black robe.
He doesn't need to follow the prison van all the time; he just needs to be able to get there in time when something happens.
While you can rush to the mansion, it's never as timely as providing support on the street.
“Wow——!!”
At that moment, he heard the cheers of the crowd.
The prison van is coming in!
"very good!"
He had initially thought the prison wagon would be ambushed outside the city and was mentally prepared for a fierce battle.
But to my surprise, we entered the city so easily!
Once we enter the city...
This is his territory!
By this time, he had already set up heavy defenses in the city.
Among them were dozens of level 5 demons and ten level 6 demons of the same level as him; hiring a warband cost him a fortune.
At the same time, the territory is severely damaged, and we still have to spend money to hire mercenaries. It's really painful!
But... compared to the profits from this escort mission, this is nothing!
"Come on... let me see who's trying to ruin my plans!" Ferdinand smiled coldly.
Chapter 168 The Holy Hero Who Gives the Demons a Headache (6k)
Although Ferdinand is a level six demon, there are beings of the same level in his territory.
However, as a lord, he receives a combat bonus as long as he is on his own territory.
For example, it increases strength and speed, consumes less magic power, and has stronger perception.
In other words, if other lords came here, they would find it very difficult to gain any advantage from him.
His territory is his home ground!
"Rumble--"
The carriage moved on.
The demons' cheers were extremely jarring to Irene Jiufu's ears; the noise made her head buzz.
The most disgusting thing is that those monsters, which are three or four meters tall, will spit at the prison van. This wooden cage can't stop them!
"what……"
Just kill me already!
I feel nauseous, but nothing comes out.
Only now did she realize that the most terrifying thing was not death, but being humiliated by a group of trash who could easily crush her when she was already powerless to resist.
Her former strength, ironically, became the source of her shame.
She had given up hope of being rescued; she was just thinking... could you just give me a quick death?
Stop doing things that are pointless and only disgust her...
Kill me... kill me...
……
An Yi watched the carriage approaching from afar, feeling a surge of excitement.
Because there's good news—
Master, it's still intact!
She didn't lose an arm, nor did she lose her eyesight!
It turns out that her disability occurred during the months between her escape from this city and her meeting with him!
This was an unexpected surprise.
The loss of her arm and eye did indeed affect Irene's fighting ability to some extent.
Even if she hadn't suffered any complex internal injuries in her previous life and had regained her magic, she still wouldn't have been able to return to her original peak condition due to the loss of her arm and eyes.
In her prime, she could go toe-to-toe with the Demon King's servants, but with her disability, that might not be the case.
But she is still whole!
In other words, she now has a chance to return to her peak form!
This is good news not only for myself, but for the entire human race.
Gaining combat power comparable to the Demon King's servant at the very beginning of the campaign—isn't that a good thing?
It's only been a month since the Holy Hero was born!
"Anyi, are you nervous?" Lycorina's voice suddenly came from beside him.
“Of course,” Annie said.
“Me too.” Lycorina smiled. “We’re really brave to fight in front of so many demons.”
