I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 12 Misunderstanding
No one who is still in the maze can be defeated.

In addition, the super-power tree armor technique has not disappeared.

Just ten minutes.

In the entire maze, Rhodes easily and efficiently eliminated all twenty people.

Rhodes asked Siti while wiping the blood off the steel sword.

Xiti is the boy from the Winged Crystal Clan.

"Is it okay to bring the human army here?"

Siti nodded.

"We will use precious materials to create an illusion to conceal the stone door. Even high-level spells will be impenetrable."

"Then why didn't you use it when these people came in?"

"This illusion spell consumes a lot of our energy. It can only last for about two days. They have been here for almost half a month."

Siti smiled bitterly.

Rhodes didn't say anything more to him, picked up Daphne, who was still in a daze, and left the maze.

The two agreed to re-enter the stone gate together after the searchers left.

mountain road.

The half-deer man was sweating coldly and pointed to the northern hillside.

"There might be."

His deer ears, acting as a medium, swayed, constantly receiving the so-called 'spiritual direction'.

"Lady Isabella, you know that premonitions are ultimately limited and vague. We can't predict anything with too much accuracy."

He was deeply afraid that Argyle's eldest daughter would attack him, so he no longer spoke with the arrogance he had before, but in a timid tone.

Isabella hummed softly.

Along the way, she sent scouts to explore for traces.

Shuangzhi Mountain is a place where few people go.

But recently, a lot of strangers have appeared.

Then she knew that the half-deer man's spiritual premonition was correct.

She just wanted to recruit this person into her team, so she gave him a warning.

As for Daphne.

Lovely Daphne.

Sadness welled up in Isabella.

The strong upbringing in her family always influences her and prevents her from showing weakness.

In fact, she is a pessimist who always prepares for the worst.

She believed that this lovely sister had most likely been killed.

Any scum who dares to attack the nobles.

They are all money-hungry and ruthless guys.

They are well aware of the power of the nobles, so they try their best to hide their identities. Once they get the ransom, they will definitely wipe out the roots.

"Daphne, I will kill everyone who hurts you."

"alert!"

The scout in front suddenly whispered.

Given that the Double Finger Mountain was so large, the Half-Deer Man only pointed out the approximate direction, which resulted in them not finding the correct place.

In order to avoid scaring away the bandits, they abandoned their horses after entering Shuangzhi Mountain and walked secretly.

Isabella hurried over.

Following the scout's guidance, she saw a man.

The man was covered in blood, and had a cross-shaped steel sword hanging from his waist.

He carried a demon with sharp horns and a heart-shaped tail on his back. The demon kept talking and giggling in the man's ear.

the most important is.

He was leading a horse.

There was a young girl sitting there in a daze.

It was Daphne.

Isabella was shocked.

Daphne is fine.

"All troops! Attack!!!"

She was overjoyed, drew her sword, and rushed forward first.

The guards were a little slow, but all came out of the bushes shouting.

Rhodes immediately became alert to the sudden movement.

Not far away, a female general in white armor and cloak rushed forward with a big sword in hand.

The spiritual rhythm of the other party is quite powerful, stronger than Father Owen.

"Give Daphne back to me!!!"

Rod shook off Terry from his back.

Terry was also very smart and immediately hid in the shadows.

In an instant, the [Chang'en Seal], [Small Body Skill Enhancement], [Tree Armor Skill], [Thunder Blade] and other BUFFs were applied.

Fortunately, he hadn't left Twin Finger Mountain yet. With the special blessing of [Tree Armor] and [Tree Gift], Rhodes once again gained the giant locust tree's [Super Strength] BUFF.

when!
The two collided.

A strong air mass pushed outward violently with the two of them as the center.

Even the dust and gravel on the ground were stirred up.

Rhodes retreated from the dust, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a painful look on his face.

Even the steel sword in his hand was only half left.

Isabella remained motionless, unaffected at all.

The white cloak fluttered in the air as she charged again.

The speed force is stronger and faster than last time.

Three huge steel vines anticipated her position and suddenly broke out of the ground.

【Steel vine charge】!
However, a white spiritual light shone from her body.

The steel vine hit her armor and broke itself instead.

"Where did this monster come from!?"

Rhodes cursed inwardly.

The other party split all the steel vines in the blink of an eye and came in front of Rhodes at an extremely fast speed.

Rhodes would not fight her head-on.

He used [Steel Vine Charge] again, but this time he performed it on his own ground.

Isabella slashed the air with her sword.

Rhodes stepped on the steel vines and jumped high into the air.

The crossbow and lime mixed with poison powder were used at the same time.

Isabella's reaction was really abnormal. She had just swung the sword and had no time to defend herself.

She actually swung her other hand horizontally, knocking the crossbow arrow away.

But the poison lime was successful.

It covered her face.

Rhodes landed steadily and immediately turned around and ran.

No.

Can't beat it.

run!
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!!"

"This is Lady Isabella Argyle! This is Rhodes, the ranger of Windwall Forest!"

"We are all in the same group!!"

David rushed over yelling.

Several sheriffs around him recognized Rhodes and joined in shouting.

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped charging.

After all, they were not Isabella's personal soldiers. Except for a few individuals, they were all temporarily recruited by the town, so they did not obey orders completely like the military troops.

Isabella Argyle?
Daphne's sister is so good at fighting?!

Rod stopped and looked at David suspiciously.

Fortunately, Isabella didn't want to fight again after hearing this.

She blew a light sigh, and all the poisonous lime on her face was shaken off.

He looked at Rhodes with burning eyes.

"tsk"

David came over to smooth things over.

"Rod! You saved Miss Daphne!?"

He led the horse over in surprise.

When Isabella saw her sister, her eyes finally softened.

But when he saw his sister's condition, he frowned again.

Rhodes had no intention of ruining the relationship.

So he took the initiative to attack the half-orc Ali. After finding the secret letter, he told them about the sneak attack in the abandoned maze.

Of course, the matter concerning the Winged Crystal Clan was covered up.

"Father Owen said that returning Daphne, who is under mind control, to the Argyle family is exactly what they want."

Hearing this, Isabella's expression changed as if she remembered something.

She ordered her men to bring their own horses.

He left with Daphne in a swift and decisive manner.

Before leaving, she looked at Rhodes and said:
"The Argyle family will remember your help."

David came over with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Rod, you know what? I always thought that if you and I fought, the outcome would be unknown."

Rhodes chuckled.

"Secret."
