A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

Faced with a village full of bandits, Valeria didn't want to make things too big after all.

"Listen, standing before you are a group of brave men passing through here, representing the will of the Church of Holy Light."

"Your people have already paid the price for their rash attack on us, but we do not want to start another dispute and cause more casualties. Now lay down your weapons and let your leader speak, otherwise we will regrettably have to resort to forceful measures!"

"Why waste your time talking to a bunch of thieves? If you want to fight, then fight."

Fiona said.

"I repeat, this is a pilgrimage, not a killing game. Put away your sword."

The bandits on the opposite side did not dare to take the initiative to step forward for a while.

After all, these people seem to be quite important...

If they were really from the church, they would probably have to call in the regular troops from the Moravian Fortress to encircle and suppress them...

The two bandits who led the way were also very anxious and kept persuading their companions not to act impulsively.

Finally, a man who looked like he had some say walked out from among the bandits.

"Everyone, the leader is not in the village right now. Although I really want to believe that you have no ill intentions, I dare not gamble with the lives of all the people in this village... Could you please lay down your weapons first and wait until both sides calm down before discussing it slowly?"

The way this guy spoke didn't sound like a bandit at all, but more like a housekeeper...

Seeing that there was someone on the other side who could communicate normally, Valeria breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fiona as calmly as possible:

"Princess Fiona, put down your sword."

"Humph."

Upon hearing this, Fiona slowly put away her sword and returned to the team, her expression slightly relaxed.

"Ms. Knight, please."

The middle-aged man made a gesture of invitation towards Valeria.

Then the two of them went into a wooden house together, leaving the people on both sides to continue staring at each other.

"Tsk, why does she always have the final say..."

Fiona muttered unhappily.

The rest of the people could only remain silent and smile awkwardly.

What else? Do you really have the final say? That would be chaos...

......

Inside the wooden house, the middle-aged man and Valeria sat opposite each other, talking calmly about the same thing.

The middle-aged man's name was Lucius, and he was one of the people who followed the current leader into the mountains.

"Mr. Lucius, I've heard a brief explanation of your village from those two men. I'm curious about your and that leader's identities."

"Whether it's the layout, structure, or scale of the stronghold, it's definitely not something a mere bandit could build."

"Miss Valeria is indeed discerning, but I'm sorry I can't answer your question."

"But if the leader is willing to answer after he returns, you can ask him in person..."

"Well, besides that, I also want to ask..."

"You're not actually bandits, are you?"

Every word Valeria said hit the nail on the head, and even a worldly-wise man like Lucius felt a little pressured.

"They are bandits... They used to be bandits. At least before the leader came, they were out-and-out bandits who robbed and looted."

"For example, Nick, who offended everyone, is a former bandit."

"But nowadays, most of the people in the village are refugees from all over..."

"I saw..."

"But apart from these refugees, what about the others? I mean, what were the current 'bandits' like before?"

"..."

"Miss Valeria, have you heard about the conflict that occurred in the Kingdom of Etherland a few years ago?"

As a Faergar, Valeria is located just north of the Kingdom of Etherland.

If there was anything major that happened a few years ago, especially the conflict...

"Silver Mine Riot?"

"Exactly."

"Those people you just met who had to become bandits were basically the miners of the Yinhui Mine back then."

"No wonder the matter ended up in nothing, and there were no reports of any casualties..."

After pondering for a long time, Valeria seemed to have finally figured something out and said:

"So, Mr. Lucius and the people you are loyal to, you are the ones who led these miners and found a way for them to survive..."

"Then you two should be from Etherland."

"Considering Mr. Lucius's conversation, he is probably a noble from Etherland..."

"And Etherland is currently in the midst of a power struggle between its two crown princes. In other words, the leader you mentioned is related to these two princes?"

"That's enough, Miss Valeria. Don't try to guess any more."

Lucius was afraid that Valeria would guess something shocking, so he quickly stopped her...

"I just heard from Miss Valeria that you are a team of heroes? But I don't know which one is the hero?"

If it weren't for Lucius's reminder, Valeria would have almost forgotten about Arno.

"Arno Reinhardt, that's the white-haired boy."

"...I see, hero."

Lucius mused.

......

Zheng——

Two figures moved swiftly and abruptly in the open space, their weapons clinking in a dazzling manner.

The young man was an assassin.

Her fighting style is very similar to Lista's, both mainly relying on melee combat and supplemented by wind magic.

In a short period of time, he was able to fight Chrysos on equal terms.

"Wu Yue, don't we need help?"

Eve asked.

"No, Mr. Chrysos should be better than him..."

Chrysos had no special fighting skills, because the opponent's attacks were just tickles to him...

The young man kept throwing out wind blades from his hands, but Chrysos didn't dodge or evade, letting them cut his armor or body, making muffled sounds.

"Such strong defense..."

Eve exclaimed.

It's not just the dark gold armor, but also his body that has a faint metallic sheen...

"Master, how did Mr. Chrysos achieve invulnerability? Even if it were magic, it wouldn't be possible to maintain this effect for so long..."

"Because it's not magic."

Bai Ye looked and saw that there was no magical fluctuation on Chrysos' body, and even his armor did not have any trace of enchantment.

Everything seems to be natural.

"I guess this is most likely some kind of... 'blessing'... Of course, it could also be a curse."

"Invulnerability, could it be a curse?"

"It's hard to say. There might be a price to pay."

But whether it is a blessing or a curse, there must be a big secret unknown to the world about Chrysos.

At this moment, the battle between the young man and Chrysos became more and more intense.

He finally changed from being high-spirited at the beginning to facing the reality.

The man in front of me is indestructible...

Even if he is better in fighting skills, it is useless if he cannot hurt the opponent.

Also, he finally recognized Chrysos.

This being, known as the "King of Mercenaries," is rumored to possess a golden body and be invulnerable to swords and spears...

If he had known about this kind of opponent, he would not have taken the initiative to provoke a fight.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The young man quickly distanced himself from Chrysos and shouted.

"I won't fight anymore. I'm no match for you. This will never end."

"Mr. Chrysos, I've heard of your great name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this."

"Since my people are all safe, how about we all shake hands and make peace?"

At some point, the bandits who had been knocked unconscious by Croesus along the way woke up and gathered towards the open space.

When these bandits saw the man, they felt like they had seen a savior. They limped towards him one by one, and some of them cried:

"Boss, you're finally here! This bastard is simply not a human being. You must make the decision for us!"

"Why did you provoke him? That's what I want to ask."

"this......"

When asked the reason, these minions dared not speak again.

"Let me explain."

Wu Yue saw that the time was right and spoke.

"Your men just attacked us, and we were acting in self-defense."

"By the way, the leader has been killed by our companions."

"If you want to avenge them, we're here for you..."

When the young man heard the whole story, his face immediately turned grim. He immediately grabbed a bandit beside him and asked:

"Where did you put what I said?"
