The sound of fighting suddenly came from the direction of the church. Zhang Hao frowned and took a few steps. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the church's backyard. He found a random tree and hid behind it.
The five bandits on the top of the tower were surrounded by more than ten guards wearing heavy gray helmets and holding huge spears. There was also a mage floating above the bandits like a bat. The guards brandished their spears and chased the bandits who wanted to break out of the encirclement back like they were chasing chicks back. One of the guards even laughed and shouted,"You think you can steal the Water God's Tree? His Excellency Demon Wolf knew that you were coming and had us ambush in the church. Surrender quickly and be sent to the border to serve in 'criminal servitude.'”
Hearing this, Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat. There was no reason that he couldn't hear the movements of these dozen people lying in ambush in the church. Moreover, their breathing was steady and powerful. It didn't seem like they had profound internal energy or had practiced special internal energy techniques like the Breath Condensation Technique. No matter which inner force cultivation method it was, as long as one practiced it for about ten years, their breathing would become light and long. Even in a fight, their breathing would not change significantly unless the inner force in the body was exhausted. As for the Breath Confinement Technique, it was said that after one or two years of practice, one could reduce the sound of one's breathing and heartbeat to the minimum. It was said that it was only a little louder than the sound of an ant walking. This group of guards was obviously more than enough, but their breathing was so loud that Zhang Hao could still hear them clearly even with the sounds of fighting covering them.
Faint running sounds came from behind him. Zhang Hao didn't need to turn around to know that it was Alice. He ignored her and focused on the changes in the field. Zhang Hao's eyesight was extraordinary. Although the mage was floating high in the night sky, Zhang Hao had long recognized that he was Alice's brother, a noble nicknamed Magic Wolf. Zhang Hao knew that the real killer was not the guards, but the demon wolf itself. The guards had indeed surrounded the bandits easily, but that was all they could do. It was impossible to capture the five bandits alive. The guards 'individual combat ability was far inferior to any of the five bandits. Fortunately, the guards had long spears and many people. As long as a bandit wanted to rush up, three or four spears would attack from different directions. The bandits had to retreat to avoid the sharp edge.
However, it was not easy for the guards to break in. The five bandits seemed to have learned offensive and defensive formations. The five of them coordinated their defense and attack without any mistakes. They blocked the ten spears two meters away. The guards could not do anything to them.
At this time, Alice had already arrived behind Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao did not even look at her. He raised his index finger and waved it behind him, indicating for her to be quiet. However, he did not expect that the moment his index finger waved, the girl would scream. Although Alice covered her mouth in time, everyone present was not deaf. They all heard this exclamation.
The guards were stunned at first, then someone immediately reacted and shouted,"It's the young miss 'voice. Ignore these bandits and protect the young miss first.”Before he could finish his sentence, the guards no longer paid any attention to the bandits. In the blink of an eye, they had already jumped down from the top of the tower. Suddenly, there were a dozen dull bangs. The sound was so loud that even the citizens who were watching the Tree of the Water God in front of the church could hear it clearly. Seeing this, Zhang Hao was secretly speechless. These guys were wearing at least 60 to 70 pounds of armor, yet they were able to jump down from such a high ground without being injured. This world was really too strange.
The speed of the noble mages was even more astonishing. When the guards jumped down from the top of the church tower, the magic wolf had already flown to the tree where Zhang Hao was hiding. However, there was no one there. It could only fly around the tree to check the source of the sound.
Although Zhang Hao found it strange that the demon wolf ignored him, he was even more curious about why Alice screamed loudly. The scream did not seem to be faked.
There were ghosts in this world, and Alice almost thought that she had encountered a ghost, and this ghost was Zhang Hao. When the guards surrounded the bandits, Zhang Hao left to watch the battle. Due to the environment of 19 years, he still retained his habits on Earth: Humans could not be invisible. Because of this, Zhang Hao had completely forgotten that he had activated the Thief Emblem's Invisibility Barrier when he left. Alice waited for Zhang Hao in the same place for a long time, but Zhang Hao still did not show up. She thought that Zhang Hao had already left, so she walked towards the church dejectedly.
Alice was a good girl who listened to her teacher. She remembered the teachings of the thief instructor: No matter when, as long as it wasn't a teammate who was in grave danger, a Bandit had to hide in the dark at all times. A Bandit who hid in the dark was another guarantee of victory for his teammates, but it was a heavy pressure for his enemies.
In view of this, Alice immediately chose to go behind the " empty " tree when she came to the backyard. Who knew that as soon as she walked over, she felt as if she had passed through a soft layer of water. Then, she suddenly saw Zhang Hao, who she thought had left long ago. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Alice covered her mouth with a veil and looked at his right hand as if she had seen a ghost. Zhang Hao followed her eyes and saw that the coat of arms in her hand was still open with a transparent barrier. He then came to his senses and slapped his forehead with his left hand, cursing himself in his heart.
Zhang Hao retracted his internal strength, and the transparent barrier gradually shrank back into the coat of arms. At this time, Alice had already recovered from her shock. She patted her chest and whispered,""I was scared to death, I was scared to death. I thought I met a ghost!”
Looking at the magic wolf in the air, Zhang Hao raised a big red fireball in his right hand. He knew that as soon as Alice left his side, the big red fireball would smash towards his head. At this time, the guards also surrounded him, pointing their spears at him. Cold killing intent surged out. These guards were the private soldiers of the magic wolf Samshen. They had watched Alice grow up. In their eyes, Alice was their sister or future couple. Now that an unknown thief was holding Alice hostage beside them, they were naturally anxious and angry.
Zhang Hao forced a smile at Alice and said helplessly,""Alice, although you look dull, you're quite popular.”
"Of course." Alice, who was completely confused, smiled sweetly and pointed at the guards."They're all my brothers. Including brother Fire Spider, I have twenty brothers now.”
Ha, Zhang Hao couldn't help but laugh. This girl was not only naive, but also very muddle-headed. That was probably why she had so many 'brothers'. Although he didn't have a younger sister, hearing her call him brother over and over again made him feel a sense of love.
As Alice's voice was slightly soft, the surrounding guards could not hear what the girl was saying, but they clearly heard Zhang Hao's laughter.
Bastard, how dare you treat us like we don't exist. The guards cursed fiercely in their hearts, and the anger in their eyes burned even more. The fireball in the magic wolf's hand became more and more slanted, as if it would fall if it was not careful.
