Thud, at that moment the carriage tilted, and Ian went down into it.

Weve arrived at the river, you see.

!

As the carriage climbed onto a narrow stone bridge, Oleg hurriedly slowed down.

They had safely reached the riverbank.

The bridge wasnt very wide, so a temporary bottleneck occurred among the knights.

We should probably keep some more distance.

Ian murmured, finally taking out a long spear from his sac.

The Scales Dragon Spear that Kenneth had used.

It was an expensive item, but to Ian it was a cumbersome piece, without inscriptions and too heavy for his use.

Of course, he couldnt use the axe blade on the shaft or the embedded magic either.

But for now, as long as the tip had a sharp spearhead, that was enough.

The knights began riding onto the bridge in a line.

It was wide enough for two to ride side by side, but for safety reasons, they were coming in single file.

Not sure if this will work

Murmuring, Ian cast a Wind Blade and took a throwing stance.

Gauging the aim point with his outstretched left hand, he threw the spear with all his might at a knight staring at him in shock.

Sshiaak-!

The wind wrapped around the shaft exploded in a spin.

Peok-!

The knight pierced by the shaft was flung back.

In the process, he even knocked down the knight right behind him off his horse.

Whats more, both of them were from the upper ranks of the Scale.

It works.

Ian murmured, looking back at Luci.

Keep watch. Call me if they get too close. This should be enough, but just in case.

Yes!

Luci quickly ran over.

Finally, Ian moved to the drivers seat.

His whole body was aching.

From being on high alert, his head felt muddled.

But even so, Ian looked down at the bridge and the river.

It was an old bridge.

Probably a remnant of an ancient civilization.

The deep navy river seemed quite deep.

At least in this weather, it didnt seem possible to swim across, either on foot or horseback.

Youve suffered hardship. Ha, it feels like you crossed the threshold of the underworld a few times.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

As he sat down, Miguel said.

His complexion was still poor.

He knew they had only overcome one hurdle, not shaken off the pursuit.

How does the path continue?

It connects obliquely along that forest. This used to be a wide open plain, but now the trees block the view so you cant see the path once youre inside.

I see

Ian looked at the forest across the river.

To shake off pursuit, they chose suicide.

The ashen forest that seemed to stretch endlessly gave an accursed feeling just by looking at it.

Moreover, the pursuit squads numbers had dwindled to nearly half.

We must retrieve them before sundown. Move in.

At that moment, Oleg entered the forest.

The upper ranks knights followed behind him.

Geez

As Jamie sighed,

Those who wish to return, may return. But we must retrieve Milady, and take revenge for this betrayal.

One of Agellans royal knights, Jonathan, who had personally killed the leader of the Naslan mercenaries to end the infighting among them, said to the mercenaries before entering the forest.

The casualties on both sides of the mercenary forces had been severe.

We cant just go back like this. If we do, were all done for!

Damn it Lets go! Go!

Swearing, the Naslan mercenaries charged out after watching the Agellan knights disappear into the forest.

Sir, surely youre not planning to just turn back, are you?

Ube shouted, looking back at Jamie.

His eyes too were brimming with killing intent.

It was only natural.

Barely ten of his men remained.

In contrast, only one of the knights Jamie had brought was lost.

Unless they were fools, they must have realized they had been deployed as sacrificial lambs.

If they turned back now, Ubes standing as a mercenary leader would crumble.

When Jamie did not readily respond, Ube frowned.

Dammit, do as you please! Were going in!

Jamie shut his eyes tightly.

The Counts orders echoed in his ears.

He had admirably completed his mission.

As a result, he commanded the largest contingent among the pursuers, and the kidnappers were exhausted.

If they continued the pursuit allowing them to whittle each other down as before,

We may end up having the last laugh.

Such a thought whispered in his ear.

Sir, shall we turn back?

No.

Opening his eyes, Jamie gripped the reins.

Were going in too.

None of the pursuit squad noticed.

In the end, they all came in.

Far away, atop an extended tree branch,

Ian, sitting on a branch, watched them.

They probably think nothing will change

The light in Ians eyes, gripping the last remaining magic stone, cooled.

Unfortunately for them, Im more accustomed to fighting in dreadful places like this.
