Witch Special

Just as Captain Barn was standing there with his eyes closed, catching his breath, he heard the slightly trembling voice of his leader.

"Captain..."

"Ok?"

Captain Barn turned his head with an unhappy expression and looked at his ignorant subordinates. But what he saw was a look of fear that was about to break the limit of rationality.

Following the direction of his subordinate's finger, Captain Barn turned his head back again. But just this one glance made Captain Barn's soul tremble and his spine chill.

Because at this moment, on several garbage hills around, several figures that looked identical to the giant that had been chopped down by Captain Barn appeared, some squatting and some standing, all staring at Captain Barn with their red eyes.

"You guys, go quickly!" Captain Barn suddenly squeezed out these words from between his teeth, then clenched the hilt of the dagger in his hand, took a deep breath, and took the initiative to meet them.

"Captain!! You must come back safely." The leader of the soldiers was so moved by Captain Barn's righteous act that his eyes filled with tears. He nodded vigorously, then spread his legs and quickly fled the battlefield.

Listening to the footsteps gradually receding behind his ears, Captain Barn couldn't help but smile easily. But soon, his smile became distorted, with both corners of his mouth raised high, almost reaching his ears.

"Sigh, pretending is really hard. The troublemakers are finally gone. Now let's have a good fight!"

Feeling that Captain Barn's fighting spirit was boiling, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles silently jumped down from the garbage mountain one after another and surrounded Captain Barn.

The Ashura Rhinoceros Beetles trained by Lin Zhenxi didn't have the rebellious and self-centered personality of the original monsters. Completing their mission was their top priority, and all their actions were geared towards completing it. In other words, as long as it helped them complete the mission Lin Zhenxi had given them, they would complete it without hesitation, no matter what.

Even the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, chopped into four pieces by Captain Barn, began to wriggle its body back together, its core intact. As its wounds healed, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, already chopped into four pieces, stood up again, intact.

Seeing the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, unharmed despite such damage, even Captain Barn, ready to use some of his most vulnerable cards, couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly. He now had to recalculate the difference in combat power between himself and his opponent. If all these granite-like, one-horned giants were immortal, able to regenerate to full health even after being torn into pieces, could he truly win?

As a sword master, Captain Barn fully trusted his sword and didn't believe anything in this world was indestructible. However, if he didn't know how to strike, no matter how much effort he put in, it would be in vain. In Captain Barn's eyes, these little giants were the epitome of a serious lack of intelligence. He wouldn't even be given the opportunity to carefully study their weaknesses at a critical juncture. If surrounded and attacked by these little giants, he would likely be at an overwhelming disadvantage.

Do you want to give it a try?

There is no need. There must be other ways. There is no need to fight to the death with these difficult giant monsters.

Captain Barn is not the type of person who rushes into things without thinking, on the contrary, he prefers to think before taking action.

After thinking about retreating, Captain Barn's fighting spirit also began to fade. However, escaping from the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles that had surrounded him was not an easy task. Without paying a price or using some trump cards, it would definitely not work.

So, what should I do?

Captain Barn's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden outbreak of battle. The Asura Rhinoceros Beetles had no habit of lashing out before a fight; to be more precise, they lacked even a single organ for vocalization. After waiting for their previously dismembered comrades to rejoin the ranks, thus maximizing their combined combat power, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles collectively raised their fists and pounded heavily at Captain Barn, who was surrounded.

The next second, the air exploded, sending a massive amount of dirt flying high into the air, carried high into the sky by the shockwave. Simultaneously, the lateral sound waves struck the surrounding garbage heaps, creating a complex echo that rapidly spread deeper into Time Square and in the direction of the fleeing soldiers.

When the smoke and dust cleared, a huge pit appeared in its place, and Captain Barn had completely disappeared.

The Asura Rhinoceros Beetles couldn't comprehend the situation before them. They stood around the edge of the pit, their eyes fixed on the depths, as if waiting for Captain Barn to emerge. But they remained there for nearly ten minutes, and the scene remained completely silent. There was no movement in the depths of the pit, and it didn't seem like anyone was hiding down there.

Where are the people? This question arose in the minds of all the Asura Rhinoceros Beetles.

The intelligence of these Asura Rhinoceros Beetles is very low. Although they have been instilled with fighting qualities, they do not have the ability to think independently. Therefore, when faced with this incomprehensible situation, their performance appears a little stupid.

They didn't even know to go down and dig the pit to see if there were any human remains inside. They just stood there stupidly, and then after reaching a certain time threshold, they would cancel their combat state and return to low-power sleep mode.

They silently dispersed, maintaining vigilance over the area. Then, they slowly crouched down, maintaining a posture that minimized effort, their heads drooping to their chests. Their feeble souls gradually grew silent, their life force rapidly fading. Before long, they seemed to blend into the surroundings, transforming into vivid black and red statues.

At this moment, Captain Barn, who should have been crushed in the pit by the combined attack of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, quietly poked his head out from behind a nearby pile of garbage. In his hand was a small, torn magic scroll, which had teleported him to a relatively safe place within sight, thus avoiding the previous killing calamity.

However, the transmission distance of this scroll was not enough. The distance between Captain Barn and those Asura Rhinoceros Beetles was not enough for them to jump. If they discovered their position, Captain Barn would have to use other trump cards to escape. So after the transmission was completed, Captain Barn squatted behind a cover that could just cover his body and did not move. He did not dare to make any sound, and he did not even dare to drop the small magic scroll in his hand.

He didn't expect that these little giants with red horns could be so stupid. They just stood there for ten minutes, and his feet were almost numb from squatting. If he had known this would happen, he should have chosen a more natural posture.

After stretching his legs and feet to get his blood flowing again, Captain Barn didn't dare stay here any longer. If he disturbed these troublesome unicorn giants again, his wealth would be reduced again.

These giants are not actually strong, well, at least that's the case in the eyes of Captain Barn, because they show no intelligence at all and can only swing their fists recklessly. They can only be regarded as reckless men, not even warriors. At most, they are just a little stronger.

However, their self-healing abilities are far too strong, and they fight in groups. To provoke one is to provoke the whole group, making them the enemy that pure swordsmen least want to face. More importantly, defeating them is completely useless. This battle started inexplicably, and Captain Barn had no idea what the unicorn giants were trying to do. They seemed to be simply guarding here. Could there be something special here?

Even if there is, it has nothing to do with him. His primary goal now is to catch up with Isabella, the third princess of the Dros Empire, and fall far behind her to monitor her actions and confirm whether she will do anything that is detrimental to the empire.

In the political arena of the empire, the third princess Isabella seems too eccentric. Her disdain for etiquette and power makes her an outlier in the Delos Empire, which is known for its seriousness and ruthlessness. However, it is such a princess who has received the tolerance and preference of His Majesty the Emperor, who even grants her great autonomy and allows her to conduct some pioneering activities on behalf of the empire.

For example, establishing diplomatic relations with the heavens and exploring the demon world are both tasks that will bring great reputation and fame, but His Majesty the Emperor assigned them all to the Third Princess Isabella, who has no interest in politics.

But as an emperor, Leon, the current Emperor of the Dros Empire, could not be completely unrestrained with his children. Even his most beloved children could not completely escape his control and live freely. Thus, His Majesty Leon's trusted confidant, the leader of the Imperial Knights... oh, now renamed the Iron Wolf Knights... arrived.

Of course, this was the public reason. As for what Captain Barn was planning to do behind the scenes, that was his own business. Being a hound for the Emperor meant loyalty, but being too honest, devoid of any ulterior motives, and without the Emperor's leverage, made one difficult to control and would not earn the Emperor's trust.

Now the biggest question in Captain Barn's mind is actually how Princess Isabella and her group managed to get through the blockade of these red-skinned unicorn giants. Judging from the strength of their group, even if they could defeat this group of unicorn giants, it would certainly not be easy. But now there is no trace of a battle at the scene. It is impossible that these unicorn giants just happened to appear in the air right after Princess Isabella left and they had not arrived yet?

He had never considered such a low-probability event. It must be impossible!
