A week later, in a forest about 300 kilometers east of Rock City.

The Iron Blood Rose Adventure Group has high requirements, which led to the fact that only Arthur was selected for the three-day recruitment. Including the three members of the adventure group, the number of members of the Iron Blood Rose was finally fixed on four.

The beautiful and refined leader of the Iron Blood Rose Adventure Group is named Isabella Moen. It is said that he is the daughter of a great merchant in the Kingdom of Leihen. Because he is unwilling to spend his life so ordinary, he escapes from his family and devotes himself to a magnificent adventure life. Isabella is a second-level elemental master who is good at ice-type skills.

Sheriel, who was previously responsible for recruiting adventurers, was a descendant of ordinary farmers. She had been eager to become a great hero to save the world since she was a child. She was called "Sheriel who loves fantasy" by the villagers. When Isabella stayed with her loyal bodyguard, she was so stubborn that she wanted to be his apprentice because she saw the bodyguard's skills. Isabella originally did not agree, but after Sheriel saved the two, Sheriel's wish came true. However, when Arthur asked how Sheriel saved the two Isabella, the three of them always changed the topic.

Because of the remoteness of the village, Sheriel did not go to the nearby Adventurers Guild for testing when she was a child. If it weren't for Isabella and Sheriel's persistence in dreams, perhaps his talent would have been buried. It is precisely for this reason that Sheriel is currently only a first-level magic swordsman, barely better than the newly appointed warrior.

The last person of the Iron Blood Rose is named Maxim, the guard leader of the Isabella family. He is silent and most of the time he is guarding Isabella. Maxim is a fifth-level magic swordsman, and is also a top expert among the adventurers in Rock City. It is probably Maxim's strength that gave Isabella the confidence that if four people dared to take over the task of escorting the caravan to the Shanjian City, the capital of Leihen. You must know that Leihen Kingdom has another nickname, Bandit Paradise.

The Kingdom of Leihen is known as a country of mountains, and 70% of the territory in its territory are winding mountains. The complex environment makes the Kingdom of Leihen the Kingdom of Leihen the most concentrated bandits in the Heaven Alliance.

Also due to the terrain, the Adventurer Guild siege that encircles and suppresses thieves with many thunder marks and often returns with less effort, and often fails. In this way, the bandits in this country do not have many concerns about bandits in other places, such as massacre, rape, looting, and slaughtering, and doing all kinds of evil.

The caravan in Leihen's territory was working with his head. Of course, the reward was several times higher than that of other countries.

The caravan heading to Shanjian City had more than 600 people and 200 carriages, and the escorts were stronger than the caravan from Shrek to Rock City, with one hundred mercenaries and ten warriors.

The other six warriors happen to be a group called "Red Lightning", including a third-level Templar, a second-level mage, two second-level twin magic swordsmen, a third-level killer, a rare second-level priest and fifteen mercenaries.

The Templar is the captain of Red Lightning, named Balzac MGM, who was born into a ruined noble family. The mage of Red Lightning Belanchi is Balzac's girlfriend, the priest Elena is his sister, and the other three are his retainers.

In the eyes of profit-oriented businessmen, the red lightning with more people and brightly equipped equipment is undoubtedly more worthy of relying on. Naturally, the red lightning is much better than the Iron Blood Rose. If I hadn't taken on this escort mission earlier than the Red Lightning, I'm afraid the Iron Blood Rose would have been wandering around the Rock City Adventurers Guild at this time.

The merchant has a poor vision, but it does not mean that the Red Lightning warriors are not good either. Unlike the merchants, except for Balzac's proud sister, the other five members of Red Lightning deliberately made friends with Iron Blood Rose. This is not only because of Isabella's beauty and Maxim's strength, but also because of Arthur's legendary weapon and the aura that he had fought for the rest of his life.

Unlike ordinary, refined and magic-level equipment that can be built in batches, you can obtain a brand new piece of equipment above the legend level. Only killing monsters accumulate soul energy to sacrifice to the gods and pray for gifts from the gods. This is also the reason why the price of legendary equipment remains high, but few people use it to trade it.

Regardless of whether Arthur's legacy is true or not, the birth of every legendary equipment is accompanied by a legendary story, Arthur is enough to arouse the interest of Red Lightning.

The momentum that Arthur inadvertently leaked made the members of Red Lightning even more frightened. In the Paradise Alliance, every adventurer who reached the second level has the qualification to go to the Adventurer City to fight against the Chaos Legion. The Red Lightning several people have also fought for the future of mankind on the bloody battlefield, but in the end they couldn't stand the cruelty of the bloody battlefield and quit.

During those years, there weren’t many people who had seen a warrior who was as powerful as Arthur, but those people were at least a fifth-level master. Can a second-level Templar have the momentum of a fifth-level warrior?

For various reasons, Red Lightning's curiosity is understandable.

Unfortunately, the charming eyes of the five red lightning were vain. Even though they tried their best, Arthur still had that indifferent expression. Except for Maxim's instructions on Cheryl's martial arts, he silently stared at Isabella's weak back for the rest of the time, without saying a word for a few hours.

The red lightning men were unable to take out any secrets from Arthur in the end. But they were not without gains. At least they were already so kind to the generous Cheryl.

This day, like the previous few days, the Templar Balzac, the Magic Swordsman Sherlock, and Cromwell were guided by Maxim.

Although most of the warriors in the Heaven Alliance are superstitious about the power of skills, it does not mean that no one realizes the importance of skills. Maxim is one of them. This is why Arthur was able to teach Sheriel with Maxim.

The Red Lightning people originally disagreed with Maxim's theory. However, after the first-order Sherryl was unbeaten against Sherlock with hundreds of moves under Arthur's guidance, they immediately became the attendees who must be visited every day.

"The magic swordsman should rely on his flexible skills and skillful skills to rescue the enemy and attack the enemy, and to fully control the rhythm of the battle."

Maxim's low voice echoed in the air, "Without mana, you can cut it out with strength... Even the destruction is not as good as the destruction. Perhaps skills are not very useful in large-scale wars, but more often, what we face is just small-scale battles. When the ranks, equipment and skills are close, skills become the factor that determines the outcome."

"Every adventurer knows that skills contain meager laws. Without a deeper understanding of the laws, skills cannot be improved through uninterrupted use. But skills can be practiced day after day. When skills become the instinct of the body, you will find that the body will always make appropriate reflections at the right time, such as sideways, backing, rather than relying on equipment and skills to resist... Huh? Hegel was injured?"

The sharp feeling of the magic swordsman made Maxim the first to discover that the killer Hegel who was going out to reconnaissance had something wrong. He frowned and ran to Hegel, who had been protected by the mercenaries.

Sheriel, Balzac and others looked at each other and ran towards the chaos.

"Go and have a look?"

Arthur's tone was very plain, but his eyes looked at Isabella with hope.

"Yeah, OK."

Isabella's answer is also dull. Many times, the conversation between Arthur and Isabella is so dull. Most of the time, the two always stare at each other silently.

Both Arthur and Isabella read from each other's eyes that they have a similar past. However, Isabella is a reality, while Arthur is a past life.

When Arthur and Isabella arrived, the wound on Hegel's left shoulder had been bandaged and was telling his own experience intermittently.

"...They have about six hundred people, including hundreds of mercenaries and a small number of warriors..."

"...They have at least three masters above level 4 and a ranger with a high Hawkeye level... When I sneaked to one hundred meters, a ranger immediately raised his bow and shot me. His arrow was very fast, and I just had time to move my body..."

"...If I hadn't reacted quickly enough and started the rapid movement as soon as possible, I might not have come back..."

After listening to Hege's narration, Balzac, who was temporarily captain, had his thick black eyebrows tightly tucked together. It was obvious that the target of the six hundred people was his own caravan. Hundreds of mercenaries and a small number of warriors were not scary. The caravan's guarding power was not much weaker than theirs, and there was also a defensive advantage.

However, three fourth-level warriors are a problem. Generally speaking, the combat power of a warrior is equivalent to three mercenaries of the same level, and the combat power of a mercenary is equivalent to three to five ordinary soldiers of the same level. This is just a simple comparison, and it does not mean that a warrior can definitely lose both ways with three mercenaries of the same level.

Balzac calculated and found that the thief's strength was nearly three times that of the caravan guards.

It would be fine if the three of them were all fourth-level, but the fifth-level Maxim could hold them back even if he couldn't beat them. But what if one of them was fifth-level?

"If it's the fourth level, I can hold up one."

As soon as Balzac's expression changed, Arthur knew what he was worried about.

"You? Second-order vs. Fourth-order?"

Balzac had undisguised doubts about Arthur's volunteering.

"Arthur, now is not the time to show off."

Sherlock, one of the twins, said. It seems that the Red Lightning people do not believe in the huge gap in strength between the second and fourth levels, and can be crossed with a legendary weapon.

“We have no choice at this time.”

Arthur's indifference did not change at all, as if his opponent soon came to the fourth level but a newcomer who had just entered the field of warriors, "Believe me."

"All right."

Perhaps it was Arthur's words or perhaps it was Arthur's understatement that convinced Balzac, who reluctantly agreed to Arthur's request for battle.

Regarding Arthur's decision, Maxim patted him on the shoulder, and Sheriel gave him a hug.

"careful."

Isabella's two faint words have deep concerns and concerns. The relationship between Arthur and Isabella took root, sprouted, grew until it matured in this plain conversation.

"If Roger Archer supports us, we can join forces to hold up a fourth-level warrior."

Sherlock looked at his brother Cromwell and stood up.

"Well, that's it! Arthur drags one, Baroque, Cromwell drags one! Lord Maxim stares at the fourth-level ranger! I let Elena take care of you."

Balzac's tactics are very clear, using his strongest Maxim to deal with the weakest fourth-level warrior among the thieves. Although the ranger is said to be able to do both far and near, their bow skills are not as good as Amazon, and their melee skills are not as good as the barbarians, magic swordsmen and Templars. Therefore, in pure melee battles, the ranger cannot compare to the same level of magic swordsmen, and naturally cannot compare to the first-level magic swordsmen.

Two lifetimes of experience tells Arthur that balance is the greatest advantage and the greatest weakness.

"Prepare for the fight!"

With Balzac's shout, the caravan's guards quickly built a defense.
