C90 Great Breakthrough(2)
Ashley frowned and her fingers unconsciously twisted the reins in her hands. After a long while, she nodded and said, "But I don't want to go home for now. How about I go to Holy Light City with you? Holy Light City can also do missions to earn money and buy the things I need..."
Reg nodded without a care and said, "Alright, then follow me back to the Holy Light City. We just need to go around the Fario City."
Ashley was obviously more familiar with this place than Reg. She looked at Reg agreeing to her request. She also nodded happily and said, "There is a fork in the road 20 miles away from Fario City. That fork can go around Fario City and connect to the main road to Holy Light City. We can go there. "
Reg nodded, but he was still thinking about the mercenaries from yesterday. He did not know where they were now. Did the news that he had gotten the Divine Fruit spread?
Reg was not afraid of being chased by these mercenaries. He was afraid that the news would spread very quickly. He estimated that he would soon become everyone's enemy. There were about 20 Divine Fruit. It was enough to make any cultivator go crazy.
A person is innocent, but having a treasure is a crime.
When Reg and the others just arrived at the intersection Ashley mentioned, three arrows suddenly flew out from the forest beside the intersection. Two arrows shot towards Reg, and one shot towards Ashley, as fast as the wind.
Reg's eyes were fast, and the Devil Sword appeared in his hand. He did not have time to slash it, so the Devil Sword slapped horizontally and broke the arrow that was shot towards Ashley. However, he suddenly leaned backwards, and two long swords flew past his face.
Reg's legs clamped onto the horse's belly, and he shouted, "Charge over!"
Ashley reacted very quickly. She quickly lowered her body on the horse and shrunk her target. The Magic Staff was raised and added a Water Shield Magic Barrier to Reg and herself.
A large group of people suddenly rushed out from the woods beside them and surrounded Reg and the others. There were about 20 people, and the leader was the bearded leader from yesterday. These people all had a tiger head on their chest, and it seemed like they were all from the Mercenary Group. Presumably, it was the bearded man who informed the Mercenary Group about this news, and then gathered his men once again.
"Stinking brat, I had long guessed that you would pass by this place. Obediently hand over the Divine Fruit!"
Reg did not stop, but he did not notice that there were horse ropes on the ground. The horse that was galloping at high speed suddenly lost its front hooves and fell forward. Reg hurriedly jumped into the air and stepped on the horse's body. His body somersaulted in the air and then half squatted on the ground. Dust was stirred up on the ground.
Ashley was not as lucky as Reg. After all, she was a mage. How could her physical fitness and reaction be compared to Reg's? She immediately fell off the horse. Reg had just landed when he saw Ashley also fall down. He hurriedly jumped up from the ground and grabbed her waist. He slid two steps back and steadied his body.
In this short period of time, the bearded leader had already surrounded her with his men. The bearded leader had a proud sneer on his face, as if he was proud of his clever plan.
Reg looked around. This road was leaning against the cliff, and on the other side was the forest. The bearded man and the others had rushed out of the forest, while Reg and Ashley had their backs to the cliff, and there was nowhere to run.
The bearded leader slowly led the others to surround them. Reg turned to Ashley and said in a low voice, "When there are many people fighting, you are not a match for them. There is a small step up there. I will open up a gap in the first moment. You follow behind me. After the gap is opened, run out immediately and run far away."
Ashley looked at Reg worriedly and nodded without any dispute. After spending a few days with Reg, she had already found out that Reg was a calm and steady man who did not panic when faced with a situation. This did not seem to match his age.
Ashley was very clear about her strength. She would not be able to help Reg in any way. Being able to stay away from the battlefield, Reg did not need to take care of her anymore. Naturally, he was much more flexible.
Simply put, she was a burden at this moment.
This made Ashley feel a little bitter when she was touched by Reg's actions. Her strength was still too low.
Reg did not have time to guess what Ashley was thinking. He had focused all of his energy on the people surrounding him. What made Reg slightly relieved was that these people were not very strong.
Among the twenty people, apart from the bearded leader who should be at the Mad Battle Master level, the mage beside him should be at the Devil Mentor level, the rest were at the High Mage or Battle Master level.
Reg estimated the direction in his heart and used the path leading to Holy Light City on the right as the direction to break through. He didn't wait for these people to surround him. Reg shouted in a low voice, "Go!"
Reg had never been the kind of person who would wait for others to attack before he was forced to attack. Reg had always been the one who would eliminate future troubles. He would strike first to gain the upper hand. He would never show mercy to his enemies.
At the same time Reg shouted in a low voice, Reg's body suddenly rushed to his right side. The Devil Sword in his hand was wrapped with combat power, and his body was covered with extremely cold combat power.
