Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

In other words, even when the dukes began to fight openly and secretly, the two duchies of Godottin and Caster, which were located to the west and southwest of Victoria, were the most stable and safest.

I originally thought that this journey would be smooth and safe.

But before she had walked one-fifth of the way, Suixiang saw several people running towards her in panic at the foot of the mountain not far away.

Not long after they ran out, a group of fully armed Sarkaz mercenaries appeared behind them.

Originally, Suika had no intention of joining in the fun. After all, vendettas were too common on Terra, and the Sarkaz mercenaries were the most useful weapons.

No one knows what the person being hunted by the Sarkaz mercenaries looks like.

You have to know that there are no weak Sarkaz mercenaries who can survive and roam around on various battlefields, and fighting with these people is a thankless task.

So generally speaking, this kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible.

But just before she was about to leave, she recognized a man running behind the crowd of people who were fleeing, with a little girl on his back.

It was the same Letania guy who had chatted with me and reminded me on the beach before.

Next to him are his family.

Although he didn't know why they were being hunted by the Sarkaz, considering what he had reminded himself of before, he could tell that this family had good intentions and were not the kind of nobles with selfish ambitions.

"Save them!" Suixiang reached out and patted the light on her head. After all, she could fly fast, so she could go and rescue them first. Otherwise... it seemed that the other party was at least three or four kilometers away from her.

The distance between him and the Sarkaz mercenaries chasing him from behind was less than ten meters.

At my speed, by the time I got there, the Caprini boy would have been chopped to pieces by the Sarkaz mercenaries.

Only Shanghai can use its super fast speed to block the first wave of attacks from the Sarkaz.

After receiving Suixiang's order, the Shanghai Doll jumped into the air, grabbed a lance in his hand, and rushed forward like a meteor.

Suixiang suddenly accelerated and flew towards the house opposite.

Black Thorn felt in a great mood. This mission was much simpler than he had expected. Although the other party had stayed in Xiosta for half a month, his team had no idea where to start and had to stay out for half a month.

As for why they don’t go into Xiosta…it’s not that Xiosta doesn’t allow Sarkaz to enter, but they simply can’t afford it, and there’s no need to spend money there.

After all, if I really stayed in Xiosta for half a month, the money I spent would be enough to buy a new set of clothes for my group.

After waiting for a long time for the other party to leave Xiosta, they caught up with him and prepared to complete the employer's task.

As soon as the fight started, several soldiers hired by the other side were killed or injured.

The target and his family saw that the situation was not good and ran back.

But how could a group of nobles who had never walked in the wilderness possibly outrun the Sarkaz who had been crawling in the wilderness every day?

After dealing with the guards, they chased after them, but those idiots actually ran back along the main road, so they didn't have to track them at all.

Soon they found each other after turning a corner at the foot of a mountain.

When Black Thorn took the lead and swung the long sword in his hand to try to chop down the fleeing target, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Although he wasn't sure if this was an Originium skill, this ability had saved his life several times on the battlefield, and he trusted his feelings.

As soon as he made the move, the other Sarkaz following him also slowed down.

At this moment, a cold light streaked across the sky and came in front of them, blocking their path.

When they saw the target clearly, they dared not move easily.

Chapter 212: Young and Kind Person

Every Sarkaz warrior who can survive on the battlefield is a seasoned warrior.

They may not be good at many trivial things in life, but on the battlefield, they are all experts.

Although they had never seen such a small puppet in front of them, the speed it had just demonstrated was obviously far beyond their imagination.

Coupled with its petite and vulnerable body, these soldiers can estimate without much guesswork how terrifying the effect it can have on the battlefield.

"How about giving me some face, Sarkaz mercenaries, I will protect these people..." There was no one around, but a voice that seemed far and near and a little distorted was heard.

"Who are you?" the leading Black Thorn said bravely.

No one spoke around, but a thin mist rose up, isolating it from the fleeing target.

"It's not just our mercenary group that has accepted this mission. You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them forever..." Before Black Ci finished his words, he saw the mist transform into a giant hand grabbing towards him.

He turned and ran without hesitation.

And his companions did the same thing as him at that moment.

After watching the Sarkaz mercenaries leave, Suixiang turned to look at the family lying on the ground, gasping for breath as if they had survived a disaster.

Just now.

When Anthony and his family were passing through the valley, they were suddenly attacked by a group of Sarkaz mercenaries.

The guards responsible for security were almost wiped out immediately.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they could only run back in embarrassment.

But everyone knows that in this deserted wilderness, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to outrun the Sarkaz.

But who would choose to give up even if there is a slight chance of winning?

When escaping, Anthony carried his young sister on his back because he knew that if he left her behind, she would be devoured by the hungry ghosts behind him in a few seconds.

Although he couldn't run fast after carrying his sister on his back, he never thought of putting his sister down and running away by himself.

Just as the sword was about to strike him, he felt only regret.

If they had not strongly requested to go to Casimir to watch the knight competition, they would have probably returned long ago and would not have encountered these ferocious Sarkaz.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Feeling the murderous intent behind him, he reached out to cover his sister's eyes while running, trying to make her death less painful in this way.

But the next second, the murderous intent stopped.

He looked back in confusion. For some reason, the Sarkaz had stopped in place, and in front of them was a small, familiar-looking puppet.

At this time, his parents were also exhausted. After the father in front hit a rock and rolled to the ground, the mother also stopped.

Before he could say anything, a sudden thick fog obscured their view.

"Don't talk, just follow me!"

Just as Anthony was about to call out his parents' names, a petite figure appeared in front of him. He recognized the figure as the girl who had been next to his family on the beach.

Although the current situation is still a little confusing, I can be sure that she is not a bad person, otherwise she would not need to do anything and would just watch her and her group being killed.

Soon, under the guidance of the other party, he saw his injured father and his mother who had lost her strength and collapsed beside him.

The family of four reunited and cried with joy after surviving the disaster.

Another half hour passed before the fog dissipated and Suika appeared before them.

Before Anthony could thank her, Suika said

"You've been targeted by the Sarkaz mercenaries. It's not just those people who have taken on this mission..."

After hearing what Suika said, everyone felt their scalps tingle.

They had long heard how vicious and cruel the Sarkaz mercenaries were.

Once these demons who value money more than their lives lock onto their prey, they will fight to the death, just like the wild beasts in the wild.

"Thank you for your rescue. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my whole family would have died here..."

Anthony said sincerely.

Suixiang looked at the boy in front of her and said frankly that she was very optimistic about the young man in front of her.

He is passionate and has a sense of justice. Even when facing death, he still did not give up on his sister who affected his escape.

If before she just wanted to repay the favor he did her on the beach, now she really wanted to save his life.

After all, in the man-eating land of Terra, such kindness requires more friendliness and care.

"No need to thank me, I just saw something unfair. Besides, didn't you risk your life to warn me on the beach before?"

Suika nodded to him in a friendly manner.

"Miss, you are heading north, right? If possible, could you please take my family to the border of Casimir?"

At this time, the father who was sitting on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state looked at Suixiang and spoke.

"Father!" Anthony looked at his father angrily.

After all, others have already said that their group has been targeted by the Sarkaz.

In this situation, we should return to Leithania. Why is my father still thinking of going to Casimir...

His father stood up shakily and looked at Suixiang

"My dear lady, first of all, I am Tony West. In the name of West, I would like to thank you for your rescue.

Just like you said, our family has been targeted by the evil demons...

If you will, help us reach Casimir...

I can give you a generous reward."

Suixiang thought about it and decided that since she was going to Casimir anyway, it wouldn't be a big problem to bring a few people along.

The key is that from the tone of this uncle, he can make money on this trip, so why not do it.

Thinking of this, Suika smiled.

"Of course, I'm also planning to go to Casimir to watch this year's knight competition."

Seeing that Suika agreed, Tony and his wife showed a relieved expression.

Anthony looked at Suika with some uneasiness.

"But, if we run into Sarkaz mercenaries again... don't move, sister."

As he spoke, the little girl on his back was attracted by the Shanghai Doll flying above Suika's head, alert to the surrounding environment. She tried to reach out and grab it, but was then picked up by him.

Even when your own family is facing life-threatening situations, you're still worried about others' comfort...

For a moment, Suixiang thought that this person might be a good fit for Rhodes Island.

After all, there are many people in Rhodes Island who have such a saintly heart and are willing to sacrifice themselves.

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise.

Those Sarkaz have gone away, you can rest for another half an hour."

Suika looked in the direction where the Sarkaz left and estimated the time before saying this.

"No need... This wilderness is full of dangers. We can still move, so let's just head out!"

As soon as Tony, the parent, spoke, the others stood up.

Chapter 213: A Bumpy Journey

"Sister, thank you!"

Suddenly the little girl behind Anthony spoke.

Suika reached out and gently touched her forehead "You're welcome little sister!"

Seeing that Suixiang was so easy to talk to, everyone felt relaxed.

When we arrived at the place where they were attacked, we saw only a mess.

The carriage they were riding in was torn to pieces, and several guards had already lost their lives.

"Ms. Suika, can you wait a moment... After all, they died because of us. I want to bury them before setting off again, okay?" Tony, as a father, said.

"Let me do it. You don't have any tools."

Suixiang asked them to put the bodies on the side of the road, and then she grabbed them under the gaze of several people.

The surrounding stones gathered towards her hands - this was exactly the first half of the Togakushi Mountain Throw.

Then she sent the aggregate of stones, which was nearly ten meters in diameter, over the corpses and threw them down. After a dull vibration, the bodies were completely submerged under the rubble.

After witnessing Suixiang's Originium skills, the others had a higher opinion of her.

After landing, Suixiang said

"The carriage is destroyed, so we can only walk the rest of the way.
