The eleven swordmasters were flustered, they did not escape on their own but had followed Aini, rushing into the camp compound .

Ever since Su began following Saleen, he had been spending his days in danger . It was only after returning to Metatrin City that he witnessed a regular army from this world . Lex's army caused Su to be dumbfounded, while the swordsman's camp in the Bitter Water Prefecture was valiant and ferocious . Even Su himself could not infiltrate them .

Su originally thought that all the armies on Myers mainland were like that, but the bandits' camp was very lax and normal . The bandits only reacted after Su had barged into their camp and knocked over two tents .

The bandits charging forward towards Su did not even wear armor, they only wielded short knives and swarmed forward . Su wielded two swords, slashing at this left and right as his eyes darted around looking for other pesky enemies .

Su led eleven men and traveled through this small camp twice . After almost destroying the place, he then saw a brigade of cavalrymen rushing out from another camp . Su noticed that there was a white-robed mage traveling with this brigade of soldiers . Mages who dared travel with cavalrymen were usually of outstanding quality .

Su could not care less about the grandeur of a mage . Since this mage followed the bandits, it meant that he deserved to die . Removing the longbow from his back, Su yelled at the soldiers behind him to retreat, then he loaded feather arrows on the bow and fired into the distance .

Su had trained his archery back in the subcontinent plane . After following Saleen, he was lucky to have gotten some tips from Eleanor, thus improving his archery skills . His feather arrows covered a distance of over five-hundred yards in a flash, which had even exceeded the range of a steel crossbow .

That white-robed mage on horseback was enveloped by the bandits, so he was caught off guard by a feather arrow descending from the sky . In a moment of haste, he could only wield an Invisible Shield . A ring on his finger flared brightly, then he opened the Fire Ring of Resistance .

The Invisible Shield obviously could not block a feather arrow containing the Sword Aura, it cracked with a clap . As the feather arrow slanted, the Fire Ring of Resistance had already been lit up . The attack principle of the Fire Ring of Resistance was to burn the arrow, while its physical defense was similar to that of the Invisible Shield .

Su's feather arrows had been personally crafted by Saleen . Even though they were low level alchemical arrows, one Fire Ring of Resistance was not sufficient to destroy the arrowhead . The body of this arrow grazed past the left side of the mage's neck, just into the area where his arteries were .

Fresh blood spurted out, causing this mage to be petrified . He immediately cast a Freezing spell onto his own neck, freezing a large block of dark red blood . The mage then turned around and fled, clamping his hands around the warhorse's neck .


It would be strange for him not to escape . One arrow from the enemy could overcome two of his defensive spells, no matter how stupid this mage was, he could figure out the standard of his enemies .

Seeing that the white-robed mage was fleeing in shock, Su took out another three arrows and launched them . These three arrows landed on three bandits who were clad in exquisite armor . Despite these three bandits wearing beautiful armor, they died quickly .

Although the remaining bandits had elegant equipment, Su already lost the intention to harm them . Su alone could not massacre all the bandits . As the powerful force among the bandits had not emerged yet, he just wanted to bait them to chase him .

Su and Jola were different . Even though he was still young, he handled matters much more calmly than Jola . If Jola was to bait the enemy, he might even go to the enemy's main camp to massacre them and embarrass those he did not like . Even though Su already possessed the ability of a Silver Grand Swordmaster, he still followed Saleen's instructions earnestly .

It was very clear that Saleen did not only want him alone . If Su was the only one who could fight while the rest of the subordinates were slack, then Saleen's plan would be fruitless .

Saleen had allowed Su to come along to ensure the safety of those eleven soldiers .

After killing the three bandits who looked like the headmen, Su fled on horseback . His warhorse might not contain some noble bloodline, but it had been carefully selected . Its endurance and sprinting abilities were all above average . The enemies were more than five-hundred yards away, their bows were helpless against Su . Just like that, Su had abandoned a chaotic camp, escaping with eleven swordmasters .

The bandits at the rear were outraged . If Su had only wrecked one of their camps, they only had to reorganize and arrange their defensive measures, the big picture would not be affected . This person had attacked the men in the camp and burned five trebuchets .

Five trebuchets were destroyed, and it would be very difficult to purchase them again . On the other hand, if the bandits were to build the trebuchets themselves, they would waste a lot of time, and the trebuchets would be inaccurate and would no longer fire magic stone cannons .

Thus these bandits quickly gathered some horses and gave chase .

The soldiers in Cexing City had already given up hope since the enemy outnumbered them and possessed military-grade trebuchets, which could swiftly reopen the cracks in the city walls . These soldiers had already planned to die in battle . Out of the blue, there was a commotion outside the city, and the soldiers immediately discovered that the enemy's trebuchets had been set ablaze .

Judging by the color and shape of the flames, an experienced soldier would know that the flames were a result of magic fuel, there was no way of salvation . News of this spread, and cheers could be heard coming from the city .

The owner of Cexing City was a third class viscount . He already had the notion of committing suicide, but this abrupt change outside the city energized him instantly . Rations were aplenty in Cexing City, as long as the city walls were not broken, it would not be too difficult to assemble the farmers to act as guards . Someone outside had destroyed the trebuchets, so the bandits would surely allocate some manpower to deal with the threat, lowering the number of attacking forces . He would be able to manage the situation .

As long as he held out for a few days, reinforcements from Huoxing City would arrive . Since the bandits did not have any logistics support, they would naturally retreat by then .

Saleen wished for such an outcome . If the defending soldiers had lost morale, the city could be overtaken very soon . Only five trebuchets were ruined, but to the people in the city, that was akin to a lifebuoy .

Outside Cexing City was a large camp which had extremely strong defenses, and this was where the bandit leader lived . Within a huge tent, a bandit entered to report about the destroyed trebuchets . That bandit leader was considered calm . In a low voice, he asked, "Who did it?"

"We do not know, they have also ruined a camp complex, Black Dragon's people have gone after them . "

"Gone after them?" This bandit leader appeared youthful, but he was very meticulous . He immediately said, "Get those people back!"

The light cavalrymen from Black Dragon had traveled for a large distance . Since the bandits in camp had no fast horses, it was impossible to recall them . This young bandit leader immediately ordered the diverted bandits to assemble and rebuild a camp around his compound .

The soldiers in Cexing City had been observing the situation outside . When they noticed these measures the older soldiers were filled with regret . If Cexing City had a grand mage, the mage could have set fire to the enemy . The bandits' camp was too dense, there were no corresponding defensive methods either . A mage could attack it easily .

Fifty miles away, in Saleen's camp, Sharman was harassing Saleen by talking to him incessantly . Saleen was helpless . This little girl might be clingy, but her character was not detestable . She also spoke respectfully . Saleen could tell that the grade-5 mage serving her was obviously reluctant .

Sharman must have exhorted him repeatedly . Even though the grade-5 mage listened to Saleen's orders and stopped the enemy, he still looked glum .

Since Sharman was so sensible, Saleen did not get angry . If she behaved like Irene, Saleen might even have the notion of killing her .

Since the mage was not around, Sharman took the opportunity and told Saleen, "Brother Saleen, ignore him . Fourth Brother's temper is like this, but he listens to my sister . "

"Fourth Brother?" Saleen felt uncomfortable when he heard this nickname . In any other place, a grade-5 mage would be addressed as "Sir" . Since Sharman called him that, it was obvious that she did not treat him as a grand mage .

"Heh, the Rolande family has groomed four grand mages, he is the fourth one . When my sister came to Metatrin City, only he was willing to tag along, the other three are… ha ha . "

Saleen smiled and said, "Got it . " In his heart, he was thinking, "This mage should be fond of Baroness Guya, that's why he is willing to follow her even though her future is uncertain . Sharman has been wanting to introduce her sister to me, no wonder this mage treated me in a hostile manner . There is no point getting jealous over this, I have Sika, I will not think about Guya . "

"Brother Saleen, are you confident this time around?" I feel that the bandits will gather more manpower to invade the city . " Sharman did not continue harping on the previous topic, she was worried for her subordinates . The one-hundred men who went to set up an ambush were not the fast cavalrymen . If they made an error, they might not be able to run back in time .

"Don't worry, with Su around, your men will not get into any big trouble," Saleen consoled Sharman . He was not very concerned about the safety of the servants . One-hundred steel crossbows would execute an ambush shot, and they would escape after using all the arrows . They would not even need to do close combat . If there was a melee fight, those servants would be very much inferior to Sharman's and Aini's trusted soldiers given their caliber .

The situation unfolded like what Saleen had predicted . Su, along with the eleven swordmasters, controlled their speed as much as possible . Su had ran more than thirty miles before getting caught by the bandits . Only about two-hundred bandits pursued Su, the rest of the bandits at the rear had lagged behind . These two-hundred over cavalrymen fired arrows, they were hot on Su's heels .

Phoenix's roads were wide enough to contain two large chariots traveling side by side . Trees were rarely planted on the sides of the road . As the bandits were chasing feverishly, they did not notice that there was a sparse forest beside the path up ahead . After the first dozen of riders went past, a barrage of arrows flew out from this forest, knocking over forty bandits off the horses .

More of the bandits' warhorses were shot . They ran for a few steps before getting abandoned .

Even in an elite squad, it was difficult for the cavalrymen to don full armor for a warhorse, it was the same case for these bandits . When the barrage of arrows was fired, its main target were the warhorses . The bandits who got ambushed did not have a chance to swerve around, they only charged forward desperately hoping to get past this forest .

In the blink of an eye, these over one-hundred cavalrymen had went past the area manned by the archers, as they continued pursuing Su's team . The bandits who fell off their horses were petrified as a second wave of arrows had been launched .

Seeing that over one-hundred cavalrymen were still giving chase, Su decided to turn around and slaughter his way through . "Sharman's elemental mage had set a trap in front . Even if I lead the enemies over there, it would only result in a waste of scrolls . I thought the enemy will send a huge number of people to chase me, but there are only two-hundred over men . " Su was a little disappointed .

Realizing that Su was coming their way, two bandits charged forward together, each of them wielding two blades in their hands . A blade was useful in infantry battles, but was obviously lousier than a lance while battling on horseback . It was even worse than a cross spear . Those bandits who gave chase definitely do not ride horses frequently, and they did not even have enough time to change their weapons into something suitable for horse battle .

When Su saw the enemies rushing towards himself, he put his two swords in the sheaths, then looked at his enemies and bellowed loudly .

After the two bandits were hollered at by Su, their bodies began trembling vigorously, almost falling off their horses . By then, Su's warhorse had already went past them, and Su had stolen one of their blades .
