Chapter 44: Surprise Attack
He had long heard about Joseph's style. In fact, as a standard noble knight, he was extremely dissatisfied with Joseph's behavior on weekdays.
It's just that because of his father, who is a city lord and a third-class wizard, the deputy city lord has never dared to break up with him.
Although he couldn't believe that Joseph dared to verbally insult a fifth-level wizard, he couldn't predict what kind of stupid things Joseph would do when he was angry.
If the facts were true as Yi Hua said, not only would they not dare to arrest Yi Hua and others, but they would also apologize for Joseph's behavior.
As for whether what is said is true or false, you can know it after verification.
Thinking of this, the deputy city lord issued a new order:
"Is the housekeeper of the city lord's palace here? Bring the housekeeper up!"
A moment later, a middle-aged man with glasses wearing a black and white housekeeper uniform was brought over. He was the same man who had followed him earlier. The steward at Joseph's side.
Seeing the steward brought in, the deputy city lord exuded the powerful pressure of an earth knight and asked in an extremely majestic tone: "
I ask you, is it true that Joseph ordered the scrolls purchased by these wizards to be replaced with discarded scrolls? It's true!"
"Deputy, Deputy City Lord, this matter is true. Master Joseph ordered me to do it. I have tried to dissuade him before." The middle-aged housekeeper replied with a cold heart, a trembling body, and a face ashen as
death.
Previously, Joseph used his father's tiger skin to do many evil things, but now Yihua, who killed Joseph, had a bigger tiger skin, and the dead Joseph could only admit that he was unlucky.
The strange thing is that Joseph didn't recognize people well and kicked the hidden iron plate.
No matter what Yi Hua said was true or false, they did not dare to go to the fifth-level wizard to verify the truth or falsehood.
Since the certificate is genuine and Joseph has indeed deceived these wizards, his best choice at this time is to believe it.
He didn't dare to gamble. If what Yi Hua said was indeed true and he caught them, it would most likely arouse the anger of a fifth-level wizard.
When the time comes, what awaits him and Youle City will be a disaster.
Therefore, what Yihua said can only be true and must be true.
In this way, when faced with the censure from the third-level wizard city lord afterwards, he had an excuse to shirk responsibility for letting Yi Hua and others go.
Although his status is lower than that of the city lord, as an earth knight of the same level as a third-class wizard, the city lord will not blame him too much.
At this time, both sides were silent, and the field fell into a brief stalemate.
Yihua heard the thumping heartbeat in his body, and became a little nervous, ready to take action at any time.
Under normal circumstances, under the banner of fifth-level wizards, it is almost impossible for the other party to dare to stop them.
If the opponent is still rational, he will definitely retreat, but if the opponent is not smart enough -
then he can only fight.
The strength of wizards is often better than that of knights of the same level. With the combat power of five second-class wizards, if they really try their best.
Although there will be some losses, there is a high probability that the deputy city lord of the Earth Knight in front of him will not be able to withstand the breakthrough of everyone.
"Sir Deputy City Lord, how should we deal with them?"
A middle-aged knight behind the Deputy City Lord stepped forward and quietly asked for instructions from the old knight in golden armor.
"Disposal?"
The deputy city lord who had just made the decision to apologize trembled in his heart, and slapped him hard.
Snapped!
The middle-aged knight covered his red cheeks. Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, out of the trust of the deputy city lord, he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
After doing all this, the deputy city lord bowed deeply to Yihua and the others.
"Your Majesty the wizards, we are deeply sorry for what happened to Joseph, and we hope that you can stay here as a favor. As the deputy city lord, I guarantee that I will definitely make up for Joseph's offense to you!" Yihua's eyes flickered,
but He was not tempted by the compensation offered by the deputy city lord and chose to refuse.
"Forget it, I accept your wish. We have to rush back to return to our mentor, so we won't stay here any longer." The
old knight in golden armor hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to agree without forcing him to stay.
After all, this is a world where wizards come first.
The anger of the fifth-level wizards was not something they, a mortal city, could bear.
Yihua took back the token and handed it back to Anna.
Under the order of the deputy city lord, dozens of official knights around them retreated and moved out of the way.
Watching several wizard apprentices drive away in a carriage.
——Because
he didn’t know whether the deputy city lord would return, he caught up with everyone again.
Therefore, they did not stop and headed towards Fangorn Forest as quickly as possible.
A few hours later, Anna released the messenger bird and marched in the direction she left the city until the messenger bird flew more than ten miles and disappeared in the air.
Seeing that there was no sign of the opponent chasing behind them, everyone who had gone deep into Fangorn Forest breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the blank sheepskin scrolls in the carriage.
"How should we divide these scrolls?"
Reg took the lead in breaking the quiet atmosphere.
"How about dividing it according to the proportion of the witch crystals everyone invested previously?"
Ural hesitated for a moment and made a suggestion to everyone.
This suggestion is relatively fair overall, but it is slightly unfair to Yi Hua who made the plan.
Before Yi Hua
could express his position, Anna took the lead and said: "The success of this operation is completely inseparable from Yi Hua's plan. I suggest that before the division, everyone should divide one-fifth of the scrolls they invested as Give him a thank you gift."
Anna looked at Yi Hua. Unlike the other three apprentices, Anna and Yi Hua had a cooperative relationship.
The more scrolls Yi Hua makes and sells to her, the more Anna profits.
Therefore, she planned to sell Yihua a favor in order to obtain more favorable conditions in the subsequent cooperation.
Before anyone could make a decision, several huge wild boars the size of cars suddenly appeared from the forest nearby, looking a little panicked.
"It's a first-class ferocious beast, the steel-backed wild boar!"
Reg seemed to be very familiar with this ferocious beast. In order to prevent the carriage carrying the scroll from being damaged, everyone got out of the car and rushed forward quickly.
In a short time, everyone surrounded the group of steel-backed wild boars that kept escaping, trying to prevent the steel-backed wild boars from approaching the carriage.
From behind the group of steel-backed wild boars, three giant steel-backed wild boars, as big as elephants, came out and looked at the few wizard apprentices blocking the front with fearful and urgent eyes.
"Be careful, these three are second-class steel-backed wild boar kings."
Looking at the three second-class ferocious beasts in front of him, Reg's face no longer looked relaxed.
Without wasting any time, with the roar of the Steel-backed Wild Boar King behind them, groups of Steel-backed Wild Boars crashed towards everyone.
Yihua avoided the collision of the steel-backed wild boar. At the moment when their bodies were intertwined, the cross sword in Yihua's hand suddenly sliced open the steel-backed wild boar's left rib like a gust of wind.
squeak!
There was a sound like killing a pig, and the blood of the steel-backed wild boar spurted out from the meter-long wound on the left rib.
The steel-backed wild boar that attacked Yihua rushed out more than ten meters along the inertia, lost the power to move, and lay on the ground letting out feeble wails.
