You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 23 Would you like to try my arrow?

Shasta led Gweil swiftly through the mountains and forests.

The forest riots were unexpected.

Morey wants to use Roman Rift's power to find Gwyneth, but she doesn't trust the nobles, and she doesn't trust any of them.

Six years ago, a witch awakened in the Grand Duchy of Rift Armor.

But by the time she learned the news, it was too late. The church had found her first and burned her sister, whom she had never met, in front of everyone.

However, the renowned Duke of Cracked Armor turned a blind eye to this.

From then on, she regarded the nobility and the church as birds of a feather.

If the church is the murderer, then the nobles and the king are accomplices.

She didn't know that Roman Rift Armor was in the mountains, but now that she had found her target, there was no need to stay here any longer; the most urgent thing was to leave as soon as possible.

However, bad luck struck again when Shasta encountered a huge mountain deer on his way out.

The latter emerged from the side and attacked Shasta and Gweil with its hard, massive horns.

Although Shasta dodged the attack, seeing the latter's strong desire to attack, Shasta knew that if she didn't kill this magical beast, she probably wouldn't be able to escape with Gweil.

Shasta placed Gweil in a safe place and drew the two short swords from his waist with a clang.

Although the deer weighed about 700 or 800 pounds, its flesh and blood were no match for the sharp blade and the witch's magic. The huge deer soon fell into a pool of blood, its throat even cut off.

Shasta quickly said, "Gervais, come with me."

The battle caused a huge commotion and wasted a lot of time; we need to hurry.

But the docile girl dodged Shasta's outstretched hand. She kept backing away, shaking her head, and sobbing, "You should leave now. Don't stay with me. I will only bring you misfortune."

Shasta said in a deep voice, "Good child, this is not your fault. We all go through similar stages. You will be able to control this power in the future."

"But I'll kill you before that happens," Gweil said painfully.

Shasta paused, unable to explain the current situation. Why did her attempt to take Gweil away result in a monster riot?

Is the power this child wields truly so great that it can influence the magical beasts of this mountain forest, driving them mad and causing them to swarm and gather here?
If it is truly that terrifying, then she doesn't know if she can withstand all the calamities brought by Gweil.

“I know you’re scared, but there are many witches in the Witch Forest who are far more powerful than me, and we have many companions. There will always be sisters who can help you and suppress your power, Gweil, come on…”

Gweil, however, broke down emotionally.

She stammered incoherently, "I don't understand! What witch forest? What magic? What life outside? What bread? What don't you need to be afraid of? I don't understand at all! I'm not your sister! Why did you come to the mountains to find me? Why did you insist on taking me away?"

She was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, desperately trying to scurry back into her hole.

She felt fear and unfamiliarity with everything Shasta had said, and after being attacked by two magical beasts, the taut string in Gweil's mind snapped.

Shasta stared at her blankly for a moment, took a deep breath, and resolutely said, "Even if I have to use force, I will take you away by force..."

Otherwise, she couldn't bear to think about Gavial's future life, living a life of hardship and uncertainty. If Gavial could barely survive before, her and Morey's arrival had already ruined her life, not to mention the biggest variable, Roman Riftarm.

Once the fragile balance is broken, only death awaits Gweil.

Just then, accompanied by the rustling of the bushes, a composed figure appeared, holding a round shield, and spoke.

"Then I think you probably can't do it."

……

“Found it…” In another dense forest, Dota knelt on one knee in front of the bushes, looking at the broken, withered branches, the shifting leaves, and the crushed fallen leaves.

Dota stared at the traces.

A scene flashed through his mind: a crazy figure rushing through the area.

The person was very anxious and nervous, and kept looking around, leaving obvious traces.

"Can you really defeat the master thief Borg?"

Dota turned to look at Grin, who was carrying a heavy sword.

Green was also looking around, still smiling as he said, "I've heard of the legend of Borg. He was very likely a third or fourth-order superhuman, and I wasn't even born then. That means I've given him another twenty years to grow. I hope he can now fight me."

Dota's lips twitched slightly when he heard Green's shameless words.

Green added, "I'm not afraid of going it alone, but Borg has far more experience in the mountains than I do, so I'm counting on you to help me eliminate any potential crises at this time."

He lacks experience in mountain activities, and the unfamiliar environment will limit his abilities.

Having a hunter would help him avoid risks to the greatest extent possible.

Dota nodded silently and followed Borg's trail, chasing after him with Green.

……

"Slay the dragon! Slay you all, you evil dragons! I will kill you all!!"

The ragged, staggering figure was whispering.

The monsters he summoned didn't form a wave that tore Roman Rift apart, but he wouldn't give up easily.

"Only when the dragon dies...only when the dragon dies..."

……

Shasta stared directly at the war knight before her and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"

Aaron said, "The lord has ordered that no one is allowed to leave!"

Shasta sneered, "You can't stop me. You're so young. Are you a first-tier or second-tier War Knight? You're far from your peak. I've killed fifth-tier War Knights!"

Aaron said expressionlessly, "You are strong, but you cannot defy the lord's orders, or we will act in accordance with the law."

The guards' iron-tipped spears were raised in the bushes, while the rest of the hunters were hidden in various places.

Shasta said, "You can't stop me, you'll die!"

Aaron shook his head: "I only obey Lord Roman's orders."

Shasta gripped the two blood-stained short swords in his backhand, crossing them in front of his chest. Thick black smoke billowed from the blades, creating an eerie and dangerous atmosphere.

"Would you like to try my sword?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of danger washed over Xia Shita.

She looked up into a dense forest on higher ground. In the dim forest, she could vaguely see a strong figure holding a huge bow through the vegetation, and the arrowhead, gleaming coldly, was pointed directly at her.

"Would you like to try my arrow?"
