Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

Instead, there was a young man with green hair and green eyes. His neutral face and genderless body covered with strange mucus made this "shapeshifter cluster" more curious.

"You are a subordinate of the current Demon King, right, Dredger." The shapeshifters stood with their hands behind their backs and looked at the person in front of them with some curiosity: "It is really unbelievable that someone like you did not establish your own royal court, but followed a young girl who may not be able to bear the crown."

“I am not a Sarkaz, and I have no way of establishing my own royal court.” Linley scratched his ear. “You dare to stand in front of me so openly, which means that this body you are in now is not your original body, right?”

"You can say that, but I don't sense any murderous intent from you." The shapeshifter shrugged. His every move was lively like a teenager today, but both his tone and his soul gave people a feeling of incomparable antiquity.

"That's why we can still talk now. If it was that old pink-eye guy, they would have probably already started a fight."

“Old Red Eye Disease?” Linley was stunned for a moment, but soon he reacted: “The Lord of the Blood Devil’s Court? He’s coming here too~”

"Aren't you afraid? Although that guy is not as ancient as the Scavenger King, he is a top-notch fighter." The shapeshifter's eyes showed a little more curiosity. "Before his bloodline reached its peak, he even killed a giant beast."

“So what? If he comes here, he’ll have to prepare to die here.” Linley narrowed his eyes and said, “Besides, you’ve turned into this state so that you can do what I want, right?”

"As you think, but you should know that even if I don't become this, I still have other choices." The shapeshifter group said as they retreated behind Manfred: "You can't stop me, Dredger."

At this time, Manfred drew his sword and stepped forward without hesitation, and the floating spell-casting unit in his other hand shot out several magic balls.

"Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"

The dagger in his left hand deftly deflected the opponent's slashing blows, while the thorns in his right hand kept roaring, and every bullet could shatter the opponent's magic ball.

“When did you have the illusion that you could beat me in a one-on-one fight, General?” Linley sneered and kicked out, just like he had done before on the high wall. This time, even though Manfred could see Linley’s figure and movements, he still couldn’t block the kick.

"boom!"

"Ahem. I never thought I could beat you single-handedly."

Perhaps it was the effect of the armor that allowed the Sarkaz to quickly get up from the ground even after spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Your presence here can only mean one thing. Rhodes Island and the group of guys who claim to be the Londinium Self-Defense Army are coming."

An extremely certain expression appeared on his face. "They are coming to pick up their companions and the citizens who are imprisoned here and work for us. Who knows, even those little rats in Shenchi may not be able to control their hands and feet and do something."

“Why do I feel like you’re looking forward to this?” Linley fired a shot at the Sarkaz soldier who was charging at him with a spear in his hand cannon. Naturally, the soldier fell to the ground. “If you still want to continue to serve your general and your regent… my advice is to just stand here and do nothing.”

"Otherwise, I will kill anyone who moves." The hunter had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and at the same time, bursts of alarms came from inside the factory: "Well, it looks like they have already started moving."

"Even if they can bring people back, what's the point?" Manfred sneered, "You have also seen the shapeshifter cluster. If she wants, she can turn into anyone in the world, dead or alive. By then, we will be able to know their location. When the city defense artillery opens fire, everything will be over."

“Oh, I see.” Linley nodded, then disappeared from the spot. The next second he appeared behind Manfred and kicked him in the butt. “What does that have to do with me? I just need to make sure Amiya and the others are safe. And you’re pretending to be tough in front of me even though you can’t beat me?”

“Who gave you the courage? In order to prevent those politicians outside the city from entering the city so easily, I won’t kill you... but that doesn’t mean I won’t beat you up!” Lin Lei said as he kicked the young general high up again like a football, and those soldiers who wanted to come to rescue him were knocked down by him without exception.

......

"What's going on outside? Why is it so busy?" Morgan, carrying his hammer, looked at the soldiers who were constantly rushing into the passage with a puzzled look on his face: "But they have left too many soldiers here!"

"Many of them are mercenaries, not soldiers of the Sarkaz Royal Court, little cat, so hurry up and leave here." The Sarkaz mercenary named W walked out of the shadows slowly, throwing his detonator. "Leave the rear guard to me, you should leave with the little rabbit."

At this moment, Hedley walked out of the crowd slowly with a big sword on his shoulder, and the two former comrades looked at each other silently.

"It's you, I thought it was that guy Dredger who made a mistake~"

071. This won’t work

"Hedley, why am I not surprised at all that you are here?" W was throwing a piece of dynamite in her hand, with murderous intent in her red eyes. Behind her were Amiya, the Doctor and others:

"Hey, you guys should go now. Take the people you need to take with you and don't leave any non-burnable garbage behind." The Sarkaz girl stared at the shadow in front of her: "Also, that Heidi must be alive. I have something to ask her later."

"Then... be careful, Miss W." Amiya hesitated for a moment and then whispered a blessing. Then she and the Doctor led Rhodes Island and the remaining Self-Defense Army soldiers to retreat along the way they came. Even with the help of Rhodes Island operators, the Self-Defense Army's rescue team still had to fight with Manfred's Sarkaz soldiers and Sarkaz mercenaries.

The outcome of the militia fighting against the battle-hardened regular army can be imagined. As the captain of this operation, Fester has done everything he can, but he still cannot avoid the separation of life and death of his brothers.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?" W taunted as he threw out the explosives in his hand and detonated them decisively. "Don't you know how to face your old teammates? Or are you thinking about how to trade my head with Tracys for money?"

"boom!"

Along with the smoke and dust produced by the explosion, Hedley, wearing an eyepatch, raised his greatsword and charged towards W: "Your speed of detonating the bomb has slowed down, W."

"Oh? Really?" W said with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Then your hand that stabbed the sword into their chest was as steady as ever!"

The girl dodged Hedley’s sweeping giant sword with a bridge, and then she used her waist and abdomen to kick her legs towards Hedley’s chest like a rabbit kicking an eagle. But unfortunately, W’s strength was much worse than Linley’s before, and the armor produced by the Londinium Arsenal showed its first-class protective performance—Hedley did not move at all, and W flew out with the force.

At the same time W flew out, she threw another piece of dynamite at Hedley's feet - this was the last piece of dynamite she prepared for this operation. She knew very well that this piece of dynamite was not as good as the previous one in terms of both equivalent and quality, so it was naturally impossible for her to lift Hedley away with one blow.

"But it's still okay to blow him up and both of us will be hurt!" W thought so, gritted his teeth and pressed the detonator!

"boom!"

"Cough cough cough, tell me Hedley, besides killing Schwab, did you kill her as well!" After a violent shock, W asked loudly while coughing and holding onto the wall - her armor was not as thick as Hedley's, and it had already become tattered after the explosion.

In response, a sword stabbed out from the smoke, and W could only draw out his dagger to barely resist.

"Ding" "Ding" "Ding"

In less than two rounds, Hedley tore open a gash in W's thigh and shoulder, and blood gushed out immediately.

"W, you should have prepared one more bomb like before, so that you would at least have a chance to die with me." Hedley looked at W with a complicated expression, "Also, we have done everything we can, you came too late, W!"

"Did I hear you right? Are you trying to make excuses for your incompetence? Who told me that I had it all planned out? Ahem." W mocked again, "But I won't die here."

"Who do you think can come to save you? The Golden Gunner has been held back by the general. Even if he wants to come, he won't come to you." Hedley supported his sword and walked towards W, who was leaning against the wall and unable to move. "Mercenaries will pay the price for breaking their promises, and I have paid my price."

But just when Hedley wanted to say something, a huge force came from behind and carried his body upwards: "The general is now having a good exchange with his fellow senior sister, and has no time to take care of me, so you are wrong, Mr. Hedley."

"Besides, I think you have a few injuries. Manfred might not be very happy when he sees you later, so you don't need to thank me."

Along with that sinister voice, three scarlet sword energies instantly pierced through Hedley’s shoulder and the outside of his thigh. In addition to the wound that could be considered the same as W’s, Linley also had an additional cut.

At this time, Hedley's body fell from the air.

'boom! '

"Ahem, Dredger...you..."

“Don’t talk about me. Press your wound. I promised others not to kill you. Your plans and intentions have nothing to do with me.” Lin Lei waved his hand and walked towards W, who was smiling bitterly. “You look so miserable, my dear Miss W.”

“Stop making sarcastic remarks. My wound hurts so much. I’m so uncomfortable here. Can you please take me away quickly?” W rolled his eyes. Linley didn’t say anything but picked up Sarkaz like a princess. “You’re the first person who dares to hug me like this.”

“Really? I’m honored.” Linley chuckled. The scorching sun energy transformed from his fingertips into white light, repairing the damage on W’s body bit by bit. “Or do you want to ask when she hooked up with me?”

"During the Reunion Movement, right? You killed Garson." Hedley said calmly, "I can still guess this kind of thing."

“Goodbye then. Just lie down and relax.” As Linley spoke, an ice wall rose from the gap left by the explosion. When the Sarkaz mercenaries came running over, both the Hunter and W had disappeared without a trace.

“Hey... Lin Lei, you said someone didn’t let you kill Hedley, who is it?” W narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, this guy’s embrace was so comfortable at any time. Even his own mineralopathy was much better than before.

“You care a lot?” Linley said as he stopped walking. At this time, the untimely heavy rain had stopped. “And do you really want to rely on me in this state? Your wound has healed.”

"What? Do you dislike me?" W immediately put on a crying face, "I know, compared to that old woman, we are just a business relationship after all."

“Stop it, you dramatic guy.” Linley rolled his eyes. He leaned against the wall and looked at the factory building that was already emitting thick smoke. “The one who told me not to kill Hedley was Askalon. Maybe there’s something else going on.”

“So it’s her. That woman always comes and goes without a trace.” W sighed, and her red eyes rolled around in her eye sockets, her gaze locked on Lin Lei’s face. “How come you are not dirty at all? You make it seem like we are stupid.”

As she spoke, she hooked the man’s neck and pressed her lips hard against Linley’s: “That won’t do.”

W said so.

072. How about the devil's lips?

It turns out that no matter how foul-mouthed W was, the kiss felt sweet and soft. However, this kiss, which could be considered erotic, did not last long.

Half a minute later, W slapped away the other person's hand that was playing tricks on his butt: "Come on, if you continue, we'll have to have sex outdoors here." There was a bit more anger and shyness in those red eyes.

This expression is really appetizing. Linley sighed silently in his heart, and patted the girl on the head. “Let’s go, let’s go meet up with Amiya and the others. Some of them seem to be unruly and ready to take action.”

After taking a few deep breaths, the hunter could sense the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air, and mixed with this smell were other, even dirtier things: "The Blood Demon Lord is much faster than I thought."

“Blood Demon Lord? He’s here?” W was stunned for a moment, and Linley nodded naturally.

“Yes, the one who told me this news was another Lord of the Royal Court. I just wonder what it looks like now.” As Lin Lei spoke, he hugged the slender waist of the person next to him and jumped vertically from the tall building!

"Since she didn't take direct action, that little rabbit should be able to handle it." W hugged the neck of the person next to her tightly. She had never experienced such a thing as jumping directly from a tall building. "After all, she is the one chosen by His Highness."

“Theresa, what about W…if she appeared in front of you now, do you have anything to say to her?” Linley lightly jumped in the air again just before landing. The gravity that was enough to cause the two of them to suffer shattered bones and die from internal bleeding seemed to have disappeared.

At this moment, the streets of the entire Sadien district were in chaos, with Sarkaz troops chasing after the Self-Defense Army soldiers and civilians fleeing in all directions.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, this place now has some of the flavor of Kazdel back then.” W sighed as he followed behind Linley: “But how do you know how the little rabbit and the others left?”

"I left a locator for the doctor, and we are following her now." The hunter walked with his hands behind his back on the street where gravel was falling and blood was gushing, while the Sarkaz soldiers ignored him and W who was standing side by side with him.

"Hey, they can't see us?"

“Yeah, it’s just a little trick.” Linley turned his head and rubbed his fingers with a smile. “But if you have any other questions, let’s talk about them after we meet up with them. After all, I remember that you have something to do with Heidi and Kal’tsit, right?”

"That will have to wait until they survive this siege. Although Manfred's fighting ability is not as good as yours, he is the youngest general in the entire Military Committee and one of Tresis' most trusted men." W sighed, "The Sarkaz soldiers and those troops that obey Tresis are united under his command. This is a very terrifying talent."

“Only people like this can stop those dukes who are ready to make a move outside the city, right?” Linley nodded. He could already see the exterior of the abandoned factory building, and in his perception, the doctor and others were right in front of the factory building. The bursts of shouting and killing indicated that they were once again surrounded by the Sarkaz.

W, who also had pointy ears, smiled strangely. "With such a large group of people, it's almost impossible not to be discovered. But they can still be discovered at a time like this... The level of these self-rescue soldiers is really worrying."

“Stop making sarcastic remarks and go help.” Linley chuckled and gave the girl a gentle push on the back. “Tell Amiya that there is probably an undercover agent or several undercover agents among the Self-Defense Army. Tell her to use her own methods to get them out.”

“What about you?” W had already pulled out his grenade launcher—in the absence of explosives, this was his weapon, or rather, his only weapon. After thinking for a moment, Linley pulled out the thorn from his waist and handed it over:

"Use it sparingly. There are only nine bullets in it."

"Give me this, then what do you use?" W hesitated for a moment and took the weapon that was once against the back of his head. "I remember your golden gun needs this thing as a medium, right?"

“You don’t need this, and I have this thing.” Linley pointed at the large bow on his back. “I have to go back here to greet that unfriendly friend of mine. I’ll leave the Doctor and Amiya in your care. I’ll remove my invisibility when you get to the factory door.”

"Then don't die." W held the thorns tightly and walked into the factory without looking back.

Linley leaned against the wall and slowly lit a cigarette. A man wearing three-eyed goggles and holding a dagger in his hand walked over. “Is it time to say hello, Dredger?”

“Misery, you actually came here. Have you settled down the Horn and her warriors?” Linley asked without even looking up, blowing out a smoke ring.

"You saw it clearly. Are you sure W won't do anything?" Misery smiled. "Also, if you and W do this, aren't you afraid that Froststar and the others will know? And how is the experience?"

“The higher you stand, the more things you can see. Besides, it’s naturally quite nice to kiss a beautiful girl, provided that you don’t show such a lewd expression when you ask this question.” Linley said with disdain: “W has something to do with Kal’tsit, and she shouldn’t cause any trouble before that.”

"That's fine. Thank you for the Outcast." Misery didn't say anything else. He threw up the dagger and walked to the other side: "Lord Blood Demon, can you do it alone?"

“It’s not a big deal. Instead of caring about me, you might as well care about what would happen if a lord of the royal court died here.” Linley smiled easily. He could feel that the faint smell of blood was now rising at a rapid rate. At this moment, it could be described as strong or even smelly.

"Every time I smell this scent, I miss Huafarin. She always smells so good." The hunter threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then waves of bloody storms rushed towards the alley, but when the scarlet airflow was about to touch the hunter's body, one flame after another directly burned it to ashes.

"What should I call you, Lord Blood Demon!"

073. Dukare

"As a blood demon, I think your smell is terrible, Lord Blood Demon."

The flames burning around the hunter will continue to get closer to his blood. These tentacle-like creatures will approach him like wild beasts and devour all living things around them that can be devoured.

It can be said that the places touched by these blood tentacles are extremely clean - after all, there is not even a trace of microorganisms left on them.

“He’s really so hungry that he won’t choose what to eat.” The hunter sighed as he stepped into the pool of blood that had just appeared under his feet. The long sword in his hand had now turned into the same Sword of Dawn as Tallulah’s, but unlike those warlocks who spread their wings and burned everything in the air, Linley’s way of using the sword was closer to those fanatics who used light blades.

"Drejie, both the Scavenger King and Teresis told me to be careful before I came here, but you are indeed a rare prey. I will drink your blood... And remember my name, Dukare, and then die like this!"

In the waves of blood, a magnetic male voice came to the hunter from all directions, but no matter how "bubbly" the voice was, the malice hidden under the courtesy was as turbulent as the waves.

"But, the Demon King is not here. Are you worthy enough to be my opponent?"

With a loud shout, a horn made of coagulated blood rose from the wave and crashed into the hunter’s chest. Linley swung the longsword in his hand from bottom to top, and the raging flames instantly tore the blood tide and the turbid black and red horn in two.

"sizzle"

Puffs of white smoke rose up one after another, and the smell of blood and burnt smells wafted out at the same time. The hunter did not speak but continued to move towards the depths of the blood tide, where a handsome man in a classical-style suit and a blood-red cloak was standing with his hands behind his back. His every move was that of an aristocrat, and the blood tide churning under his feet proved his identity.

The Lord of the Bloody Court, the Red Monarch, Dukare, looked at the man who was approaching him step by step with a pair of scarlet eyes that could be described as contempt. Without the slightest hesitation, the Lord of the Court raised his hands like the conductor of an orchestra.

Then, a blood rain with indelible resentment and poison fell from the sky, and a long and narrow rapier was taken out from the blood by Ducare. The next second, the blood king disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he had raised the sword and was ready to pierce the hunter's back.

"boom!"

Thunder and frost erupted at the same time, the former pushed Dukare outwards, while the latter slowed down the opponent's attack speed!

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The Blood Thorn Sword and the Burning Sun Sword collided dozens of times in an instant, and the two men’s eyes met again at this moment: “Is the Blood Demon Lord only good at sneak attacks?” After just a simple confrontation, Lin Lei had already made one thing clear - the power of this Blood Demon Lord was far inferior to his own!

Every time the weapons collided, the blood demon's arms and mouth would crack under the opponent's force, but the blood pool helped to quickly repair the injuries. The burning flames around the hunter made the blood rain that fell like poison needles lose its power.

"This kind of power... Are you the incarnation of some giant beast?" After realizing that he could not gain an advantage in close combat, Ducare decisively retreated. At the same time, blood-red roses grew out of the lake one after another and then exploded!

"boom!"

"A giant beast? I'm not that kind of thing. I'm just an ordinary clerk."
