The red moon returns

Chapter 466 Ashes to dust, dust to dust

In an instant, Lynch realized a problem.

If the people secretly watching him were the princess's security guards, they should have paid attention to the three intruders who suddenly entered the camp, and would not have waited for the three people to reach the door before carefully checking them.

The only explanation is that the other party is waiting for someone to step into a certain position and then take some action.

The countless conspiracy theory stories he had read in his previous life made Lynch realize the seriousness of the problem.

Leaving the camp and going one step further into the mountains is the fiefdom of the Valente family, and Princess Sofia is preparing to enter this fiefdom.

If she were attacked here, Lynch couldn't imagine what would happen. It would be a disaster.

It would be fine if the princess was attacked in her fiefdom, as at least the Valente family had an explanation. The problem was that these mountain people were all zombies, and they were also subjects of the Valente family. With this premise, the nature of the attack on Her Royal Highness the Princess here would change. Once someone used this as an excuse to attack the Valente family for colluding with mysterious aliens to attack royal members, it would be difficult for the Valente family to deny themselves. Even if the royal family knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Valente family, they would have to suppress the Valente family for the sake of face. The Valente family might be able to hold on because of their wealth and fortune, but as the target that the Valente family had just placed a heavy bet on, Lynch didn't have such a large fortune to lose.

Lynch immediately realized that this matter was not only aimed at the princess, but also at the Valente family and him.

If it is not handled properly, not only will the royal family's previous reputation be wasted, but their future development in Rand will be basically blocked.

It seems like a dead end. As long as someone attacks, whether successful or not, Lynch and the Valente family will be in trouble.

Such a cruel method, almost unsolvable.

No, there is still a chance.

"Let's go there."

Lynch shouted and took a step forward, but before he knew it, he suddenly appeared in front of the group of men in black in the distance.

[Power: Earth, Ability: Scale]

Support from Elder Nicolae.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Just as the princess and her entourage were about to cross the border of the camp and enter the mountains, a figure suddenly appeared, attracting everyone's attention. In an instant, everyone moved instinctively.

"Who is it!" As the stern shout rang out, the two black-clad guards moved sideways and blocked the way to the back.

Silently, two ghostly figures appeared behind the man in black, and two sharp blades bypassed the two men and stabbed towards Lynch's chest and throat like venomous snakes.

"Human wall!" A group of black-clad guards quickly gathered inside, using their bodies to create an airtight barrier around them.

"Protect Her Highness!" The core guards on the innermost side rushed inwards immediately, ready to protect the princess.

Everything happened in an instant and everyone was moving.

However, Lynch was one step faster.

Facing the oncoming sharp blade and the wall of people blocking his way, Lynch ignored them and rushed straight forward. Just before the sharp blade was about to hit him, the hourglass necklace on his neck flashed, and [Shelter Outside of Time] was activated.

At this moment, Lynch is out of time.

No one can block an illusion beyond time, and no one can hurt an afterimage that has just passed by.

The two sharp blades pierced Lynch directly, and then Lynch went straight through the guards who were blocking his way, through the human wall that had just been built, and before the core guards could rush over to protect the princess with their bodies, he opened his arms and jumped towards Princess Sofia amid a few exclamations.

At the same time, a beam of light appeared in front of the princess without warning, followed by a sharp whistle and the sound of heavy plucking strings.

There was a flash of light, a scream, and blood splattered. An arrow suddenly pierced through the center of his forehead, and then his entire head exploded, blood and brain matter flew everywhere, splattering all over the people around him.

[Power: Hunting, Ability: Precision Sniping]

But not Princess Sofia's.

Before Her Royal Highness the Princess had the chance to set foot on the Valente family's fiefdom, she was knocked back. Lynch's sudden appearance not only successfully attracted all the guards, but also the attackers, and they subconsciously released their accumulated strength.

So, the attack was launched, but the arrow passed through the afterimage left by the princess and directly killed a guard who instinctively hid behind the princess. However, Lynch's collision had knocked the princess away from her original position one step ahead, and she narrowly avoided the fatal arrow.

Thin bloodstains appeared on the fair cheek, a few strands of hair flew in the air, and the whistling sound of the arrows made his eardrums hurt. At this moment, Lynch's brain was blank, and he left everything to instinctive reaction.

boom.

The two fell back into the camp. As soon as they touched the ground, Lynch instinctively hugged the delicate body in his arms and rolled sideways. The next moment, he heard a soft "puff" sound beside his ear, and an arrow had appeared on the ground next to his face, penetrating all the way to the tail feathers, and then there was a sound of breaking through the air chasing after him.

"Protect the princess."

In the sudden changes, the professional guards had regained their judgment and made the most correct decision. A group of people rushed directly towards Lynch, who was rolling in his arms holding the princess, and covered the two of them with their bodies layer by layer, blocking the view from a distance.

Be careful to prevent a third arrow.

However, at this moment, the space in front of everyone's eyes twisted, and another figure appeared next to the guards.

A middle-aged man in a green hunting suit was kneeling on one knee, drawing a bow and arrow, aiming with one eye closed. He suddenly appeared in front of the people and they looked at each other at close range. Both sides were stunned.

[Power: Earth, Ability: King's Castling]

The stare lasted for a moment, and the arrow flew off the string, piercing through several guards who were blocking the view. Amid screams, the other guards immediately rushed forward and pounced on the man in hunting clothes. The man in hunting clothes did not hesitate for a moment, and turned around and ran with his hunting bow. However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a ray of light dragging a residual shadow from afar, and instantly appeared in front of him.

[Power: protection, ability, transfer]

The light faded, revealing a shining sword. The tall female police officer arrived in time and killed the man with one sword.

The man in hunting clothes did not dare to stop. He raised his hunting bow to block the sword, and the bow was cut in two. However, Officer Natalie was also pushed by the recoil force and staggered. She had to move out of the way, revealing... the folding fan behind her.

boom.

A ball of fire spurted out from the shotgun and hit the man in hunting suit in the chest. Blood spurted out of his chest and his body was blown backwards, falling towards the princess's guards who were rushing over. A group of people had already raised their swords and were about to chop him into pieces on the spot.

However, with a puff, the body of the man in hunting suit suddenly exploded and turned into a tattered bloody bush, while the staggering figure of the man in hunting suit appeared twenty or thirty meters away, running away into the distance without looking back.

[Power: Forest, Ability, Bait]

"Chase, don't let him get away."

The guard was shouting, but it was obvious that it was impossible to catch up. But then he saw an old mountain man appear beside him, and grabbed a handful of blood-stained soil from the place where the other party disappeared and held it in his palm.

The soil squirmed on its own as if it were alive, and in a few seconds it turned into a little clay man. The old mountain man held it in front of him and blew gently.

puff.

The human figure was blown back into dust. The fleeing figure in the distance paused, and then his body turned into dust in the sky.
