Chapter Seventy Encounter

  The battle ended soon.

  Or rather, this can't even be considered a battle, it's just one-sided suppression and slaughter.

  Those who were crushed and slaughtered, of course without suspense, were that group of fierce pursuers.

  Mi Di did not launch a fierce attack from the start, instead he chose an extremely cautious approach. He first used Ghost Shadow Steps and Ghost Shadow Flashes to cleverly evade the encirclement, then from the outside in, bit by bit, nibbled away at this team of over thirty people, every time that heavy black long sword swung down, one person would fall straight down, blood splashing everywhere.

  It started with those low-ranking adventurers who were only around level 15, then the mid-tier forces at level 20, and finally those high-level experts above level 22...

  When the enemies found out how terrifying this unassuming young man was, only five or six of them were left.

  Then, an astonishingly large ice crystal array sprang up.

  Everything fell silent in the frosty air.

  Watching the young man expressionlessly behead his companions who were pierced or frozen by icicles, the leader of this group finally understood that it was this young man who had silently surrounded his own group. He had mistakenly thought that he was just one step away from encircling this young man.

  One man slaughtered an entire team, that's a master.

  One person surrounds a whole team, not letting anyone escape, that's a master among masters.

  He died of his own accord. The captain thought so.

  Just before his death, he still had a bit of confusion, since this person was so powerful, why adopt such a troublesome tactic?

  "If I had killed you first, the rest would have scattered and I'd still have to silence them." Midy said casually, then swung down his final sword.

  The sound of clashing swords, the warriors' roars, and the dying men's wails all disappeared as night fell. In this blood-soaked area, only Middy and Double Gun Girl were left.

  "Little girl, seeing such a mighty scene, aren't you scared silly?"

  Such frivolous words could never have come from Medea's mouth; this is a line for the Crow.

  Before Middy's battle, it was not idle, constantly hovering in the sky, and with a hoarse voice, spitting out a string of sarcastic and powerful lines, with excellent effect. Middy was able to single-handedly annihilate a team of thirty people, largely because Robin attracted a lot of hatred, making people hate him so much that they refused to escape.

  "Ah, that... thank you very much for saving me!" The twin gun girl came back to her senses, hastily put away her weapons, then bowed at a 90-degree angle, her expression stiff and her movements extremely awkward.

  Witnessing such a one-sided slaughter all along, no one would have any good complexion.

  Mi Di's gaze became wooden again and swept across the girl's body.

  In the process of fighting, actually most of the time, Midei's attention was on her.

  He wants to see what actions this girl will take after bringing disaster upon herself.

  If she intended to run away, Middy wouldn't mind taking a few more steps and silencing her as well. But the double gun girl didn't do that, instead she kept wandering around, helping Middy attack these pursuers - although most of the time, not understanding Middy's intentions, she was actually hindering him.

  On the one hand, she uses herself, on the other hand, she is bound by her conscience, hesitant and indecisive, a half-hearted person. This is Mide's evaluation of this double-barreled girl.

  However, it was precisely this hesitation that inadvertently saved the girl's life.

  As the last rays of sunset faded, Middy sharply noticed that the twin gun girl's ears, hidden under her short hair, were much more pointed than those of ordinary humans. Her delicate face also seemed to have some elf-like features.

  A half-elf.

  What made Midie even more surprised was that this girl seemed a bit familiar to him.

  It's definitely not a companion or an enemy, these two types of people's appearances, in Mide's memory, are absolutely unforgettable.

  So, is it an acquaintance?

  Midi roughly went through the memories of his past life for twenty years in his heart, but for a moment, he couldn't think of whether he had known the half-elf or not. So, he could only put down this idea temporarily and start from another entry point.

  "Why are they after you?" Without any courtesy or even a self-introduction, Midei directly asked the thing he most wanted to ask.

  This is an attitude that strong people take for granted.

  Midi is actually far from being a gentle person, or rather, all his gentleness was reserved for Fina and Eris. When he fights, the feeling Midi gives people is that of a calm and ruthless, calculating and merciless swordsman.

  One achievement makes a thousand bones wither, benevolence does not grasp the sword. In his previous life, as one of the few famous generals on the continent of Arad, how could Mide be a soft-hearted person?

  Although he had killed the pursuing soldiers, at this moment, his vigilance did not decrease in the slightest.

  Facing the calm and indifferent tone, the half-elf dual gunner's body became even stiffer.

  The half-elf originally thought that the 35-level roaming gunner captain in his team was already a rare master, but compared to this young man in front of him, the gap was really not small. It's not just the technical gap, but more so, the killing intent emanating from Midie's body made people feel suffocated.

  His seemingly casual yet chilling gaze made her feel like a helpless little lamb in front of a fierce tiger, with no power to resist at all.

  What's going on? What should I do?

  The half-elf racked her brain, but her mind was a complete muddle.

  She didn't have any plans, she just saw Midy and naturally rushed over, wanting to find an opportunity. But after really rushing over, her conscience couldn't bear it, so she wanted to stay and help kill some enemies, and then...

  That's it...

  Midi had already killed all the pursuers, and she couldn't even lend a hand. By the time she came to her senses, it was too late to escape.

  In front of the strong man who annihilated a team of thirty in the blink of an eye, the half-elf couldn't think of any way to respond, but she didn't want to expose the treasure on her body like that either.

  "How many pieces of jade are on your body?" Suddenly, Midei's second question came again.

  "There is only one piece." The half-elf replied as soon as he opened his mouth, and after answering, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.

  It's indeed a jade leaf.

  Midi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in her heart.

  In the previous life, in the first year of inheritance exploration in the Elf King's Court, this was a kind of prop that all adventurers were crazy about.

  The Elf Kingdom is also a country, although relatively closed, but it also needs foreign trade to meet all the needs. For this reason, the Elf Royal Court issued this ornament called Emerald Leaf as proof of identity. Only businessmen who have had long-term exchanges with the elves can obtain Emerald Leaves and be allowed to enter the outermost area of the Elf Kingdom for transactions.

  Before the Great Fire of Guran, Emerald Leaves were a treasure in the business circle, and those who obtained them could basically gain huge profits within a few years. After the Great Fire of Guran, Emerald Leaves lost their commercial value but became a treasured item for adventurers.

  Because, as long as there is emerald leaves, it will not be attacked by many automatic defense facilities on the outskirts of the spirit kingdom. And if there are a large number of emerald leaves, it is said that they can even be exchanged for golden-edged emerald leaves with higher permissions!

  But Mide, who had experience of rebirth, was very clear that this little thing did not have such a great value.

  The outer defenses of the Spirit Kingdom weren't as terrifying as imagined.

  But to obtain the inheritance of the Elf King's Court, the key is even more unrelated to this leaf.

  So he had no interest in the precious emerald leaf that was so dear to the half-elf girl in front of him.

  Midi's top priority now is to gather as much intelligence as possible. After all, in his previous life, he didn't explore the Elf King's Court with Feina and Aries until 987 AD, and they only got leftovers. This time, after the great fire, they took action immediately, naturally wanting to seize the initiative.

  In this case, even if there is a memory of rebirth, what's in Mide's mind is just an incomplete strategy.

  So he needs more intelligence to determine his own exploration plan.

  After turning over several ideas in his mind, Mide had already made a decision - to let go of the unlucky guy in front of him and continue on to Taketown according to the original plan, first find a place to settle down before doing anything else.

  But unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, the half-elf's face turned pale as he voluntarily pulled out something from his body and handed it over with a painful expression.

  It was a warm and jade-like ornament, crystal clear and transparent, shaped like a green leaf.

  "I'll give you the emerald leaves, okay?" The half-elf's voice trembled slightly.

  Living is the most important thing, that's what her beloved captain told her. So at this moment, in a desperate situation with no escape and being cornered, the half-elf finally gritted her teeth and made this humiliating decision - to beg for mercy from Middy.

  She wants to survive, she wants to live on and return to her companions, back to the captain's side.

  But this action, which seemed exceptionally tragic in the eyes of the half-elf, caused Midee's brain to short-circuit for an instant.

  What's going on here?

  "Congratulations, boss. Your impressive strength in the heroic rescue and your noble character have captivated her, she probably wants to cling to you." Robin adjusted his feathers and made this judgment with an authoritative tone that brooked no doubt.

  Before Mi Di could respond, a bright silver flame of icy coldness ignited in his originally dull and stupid eyes.

  In the next instant, Mi Di turned around with a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye, and quickly sealed the Black Sky Sword in front of him.

  All that could be heard was a dull gunshot and the crisp sound of metal colliding simultaneously, countless bright sparks flew out in the already fallen night sky, in the sparks, Midy's calm eyes flashed by.

  "Aileen, don't be afraid, we're coming to rescue you now!" A clear and crisp female voice rang out, with a tone that was stern but more so anxious.

  Accompanied by this sound, the gunfire suddenly intensified, and countless meteor-like flames burst from a certain place, completely enveloping Midy in it.

  In the midst of flames, Midie's thoughts flashed like lightning.

  Aileen

  Eileen, known as "Butterfly Twin Guns".

  Morning Star Mercenaries' vanguard, Half-Elf Divine Gunner Eileen.

  In the previous life, it was the Dawn Mercenary Corps that obtained the greatest legacy of the Spirit King's Court!

  It seems like I'm quite lucky.

  Under the dense gunfire like a storm, Mi Di thought so, and his mouth corners slightly rose up, curved into a relaxed smile.
