"Bass!!!"

"Uncle Bass!!!"

Two roars sounded. On the other side of the battlefield, the middle-aged captain and Ando witnessed the whole process of Batu killing the shortbow rider, and their faces showed anger.

"Damn it!!!"

The middle-aged captain cursed furiously, and then he quickly retracted his gaze and stared at the three ferocious-looking looters who were already running towards him.

He quickly threw away the shortbow in his hand, and then. He drew out the long sword with cold light at his waist.

"Dang..."

Accompanied by a crisp metal collision sound, Asilan, who was the first to charge, thrust the iron leaf spear in his hand forward without hesitation.

However, the middle-aged captain reacted extremely quickly, and the long sword in his hand was swung out instantly, accurately blocking the fatal blow.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Asilan's eyes suddenly turned cold, but he did not linger in the fight. Instead, after passing the middle-aged captain, he continued to gallop towards the young rider in front without looking back.

However, before the middle-aged captain could shout a warning, the second captor had already come to him like a ghost, holding an iron leaf spear, with a ferocious face and a fierce look.

The middle-aged captain was startled and quickly dodged sideways. Fortunately, he successfully avoided the attack.

But unfortunately, he had just escaped a disaster and had not had a moment to breathe, and the third captor swept in like a storm.

At this time, the middle-aged captain had no way to avoid it, and there was no time to dodge.

At the critical moment, he could only grit his teeth, hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, and do his best to chop the captor on the horse with the long sword.

However, with a muffled sound of "puff...", the middle-aged captain's chest was pierced by the extremely sharp iron leaf spear.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground under his feet red.

"Uh..."

The middle-aged captain's face was as pale as paper, and his body staggered two steps uncontrollably, as if he had exhausted all his strength in every step.

Then, he spurted out a mouthful of scarlet blood, which drew a shocking arc in the air and fell on the cold ground.

He twisted his neck with difficulty, turned around slowly, and looked behind him with eyes full of pain and despair.

His trembling right hand was raised with effort, as if he wanted to grab something, his lips opened and closed slightly, and he murmured: "Anduo... run..."

However, before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound of "plop..."

The middle-aged captain's extremely weak body fell straight to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Not far away, the young rider Anduo tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.

Beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead and dripping into his eyes, causing a stinging pain, but he did not dare to relax at all.

Facing Ashilan who was rushing towards him with great momentum, he could only grit his teeth and desperately adjust his disordered breathing.

"Die! Bastard..."

Ashilan roared, his eyes were like burning flames, full of coldness and murderous intent.

The iron leaf spear in his hand flashed with cold light, and with a sharp sound of wind, he stabbed at Anduo fiercely, wanting to kill the enemy in front of him with one blow.

In a flash, Anduo suddenly raised his long sword and held it horizontally in front of him, trying to block this fatal blow.

With a crisp and loud sound of "clang...", the iron leaf spear and the long sword collided violently, and countless dazzling sparks burst out instantly, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

Seeing this, Asilan was furious. He didn't expect that his fierce attack would be easily blocked again.

So, he quickly loosened his grip on the iron leaf spear without hesitation, pulled out the extremely sharp tribal nomadic scimitar from his waist, and slashed towards Ando's neck.

With a "thump", Ando's body fell to the ground.

"Huh..."

Ashilan reined in his mount, turned around, glanced at the young rider lying in a pool of blood, then quickly turned over and got off the horse, walked quickly to the young rider who was still panting, raised the scimitar and chopped down...

At this time, Hod slowly walked over under the protection of Nott and others. He looked at the corpses all over the ground and nodded slightly.

"Boss, they are all dead... We have avenged Latuna!" Batu walked up and said excitedly, leading the grassland horse.

"Hang them up like Latuna and the others!" Hearing this, Hod recalled the message that Vito had sent him that day, and said expressionlessly.

Since these bounty hunters had chopped off the heads of Latuna and the others, he would do the same.Treat them.

"Yes! Head!"

After receiving the order, Batu and Ashlan immediately took action.

"Pack up and bring all the usable weapons and equipment back to the manor." Hood looked at the heads that were still dripping with blood, turned around and ordered.

Soon, the armor on the corpses was stripped off by the captors, and all the weapons were collected.

Finally, after collecting the only two surviving horses, the group returned to the manor.

————

A week later, in the morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the heavy curtains and sprinkled on the luxurious bedroom on the second floor of the main castle of Kingsley Manor.

Hood gently patted Emma, ​​who was still immersed in a beautiful dream beside him, with a gentle movement, as if he was afraid of waking up this sleeping beauty.

"Hmm?"

Emma murmured and turned over, but she didn't wake up. Seeing this, Hood gently pushed her again and whispered, "Little Emma, ​​it's time to get up."

Hearing the call, Emma slowly opened her hazy eyes, with a hint of confusion and sleepiness in her eyes.

She looked at Hood in a daze and called softly, "Master Hood..."

Because she had just woken up, her voice was a little hoarse, sounding like the moan of a lazy kitten, and this delicate voice instantly made Hood's mouth dry.

"Master..." Emma seemed to have noticed something, her cheeks flushed lightly, and she wanted to get up.

However, Hood smiled and stopped her...

After a long time, when everything returned to calm, Hood, who was relaxed, casually put on a coat and sat up from the bed.

He glanced at Emma, ​​who was still sleeping, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then walked out of the room.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Just as Hood had just reached the stairs, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the stairs.

It was Paul who hurried upstairs. When he saw Hood, he immediately stopped, saluted respectfully, and then reported: "Boss, Vito sent someone to say that the enthronement ceremony is almost ready, and asked you to rush to Kanerba Castle in three days."

Hearing this news, Hood's eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth rose.

"It's finally here. After this enthronement ceremony is over, the troops I have been waiting for for a long time will also appear."

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the study, and began to prepare for the upcoming trip.
