Start with Island Lord

Remote mountains and wilderness.

A clearing in the woods beside a muddy path.

Militia captain Wilson did not expect things to turn out like this.

They just want to capture a witch so that they can go to Lyon Town in exchange for some bounty.

He was about to catch her, but unexpectedly, a group of mysterious people wearing masks rushed out of thin air and wanted to kidnap the witch.

Wild beasts are rampant in the mountains, and the village militiamen who are able to gain a foothold in the mountains are very tough in character. How can they watch their prey being snatched away?

So the two sides started fighting.

The witch runs very fast, which is not easy at first glance.

To avoid any accident, almost all the village militiamen were mobilized, more than 40 of them.

There are also a lot of people with mysterious masks, more than thirty.

Although the weapons are very crude, their martial arts are very strong and they are very brave. The moment they burst out suddenly, they caused a lot of damage to the militiamen.

As the captain of the militia and the most powerful warrior in the village, Wilson was extremely angry and confused.

His weapon was a hardwood stick covered with iron at both ends. With one stick, he knocked a masked man rushing towards him to the ground and roared loudly:

"Who are you? Tell me your identity!"

Among the masked men was a tall, strong man with amazing martial arts skills who laughed loudly.

"Rudolph, the Black Wolf of the Jungle, have you ever heard of him?"

Wilson was surprised, but even more puzzled: "Black Wolf. We have never provoked you, why did you sneak attack on us?"

"For the purple-haired woman over there, give her to me and we'll leave right away."

Wilson frowned: "The elder said she is an evil witch!"

"I know, what I want is the witch."

Wilson was shocked: "Hei Lang, you have become the devil's apostle?"

"Ha~ The devil's apostle~~ People in the church will really plant accusations on people."

"But I'm not the devil's apostle. I robbed her for the reward, haha!"

As he spoke, the powerful black wolf swung his war hammer with force and accurately hit a militiaman on the head, killing him on the spot.

"You release them now, or I will kill you all."

The militiamen are not to be intimidated. They are not only comrades-in-arms, but also partners and even relatives who have grown up together.

Seeing that his relatives were killed and the other party wanted to cut off his beard, the militia captain Wilson's eyes were red and he roared angrily.

"Kill~Kill all these robbers!"

He himself violently waved the iron-clad wooden stick and rushed towards the witch who was leaning against a big tree and breathing heavily not far away.

The goal is clear, to kill the witch and leave the black wolf with nothing.

Black Wolf Rudolph discovered his intention and immediately rushed over to intercept him.

Soon, the two sides were fighting together.

In terms of martial arts, Black Wolf Rudolph was stronger, but his weapons were not as good as Wilson's, so the two sides fought evenly.

Seeing that he could not break through Rudolph's entanglement, Wilson swept his opponent with all his strength and shouted loudly: "Arrow~~shoot the witch to death!"

I originally wanted to keep him alive because the bounty for being alive was much higher, but since the black wolf had done something evil, no one could get any benefits.

The mountain village soldiers are usually hunters in the village. They usually rely on bows and arrows to hunt, so their archery skills are extremely good.

Wilson shouted, and three militiamen immediately responded.

Rudolf immediately shouted: "Protect the witches! Don't let them use arrows!"

The masked warriors immediately struggled desperately.

But in the end, one of the militiamen managed to shoot an arrow.

'collapse! ’

There was a sound of string vibration, and an iron arrow accurately passed through the battlefield in the forest and shot directly into the heart of the purple-haired witch.

When Black Wolf Rudolf saw it, his heart suddenly became cold: "It's over."

There may be martial arts masters in the world who can intercept flying arrows, but none of the people present have such a great ability.

‘When~’

There was a crisp metal clang sound suddenly, and the iron arrow was knocked away.

Immediately afterwards, a slovenly black-haired man appeared next to the purple-haired witch.

The man held a dirty metal sword in his hand, which he apparently used to deflect the deadly iron arrows.

Wilson and Rudolph were both shocked and paused involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, the man waved his hand and threw stones continuously.

‘Bang bang bang~~’

The militiamen's hunting dogs were unable to dodge, and they were all killed in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the man leaned down and picked up the purple-haired witch with one hand.

The witch was tall and plump and weighed quite a lot, but in the man's hands, she seemed to have no weight.

When everyone was surprised, the black-haired swordsman turned around and ran away.

Although he was holding a woman, he ran very fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

The target that the two sides were fighting for was gone, and the martial arts skills displayed by the swordsman were truly terrifying.

Black Wolf Rudolph and Wilson looked at each other and immediately took a step back.

Wilson glared at Rudolph fiercely: "Black Wolf, I will remember this blood debt!"

At least five or six militiamen were killed and more than a dozen wounded. Once given the opportunity, he will definitely take revenge.

Rudolf was bent on snatching away the witch. When he saw that the witch had run away, he had no intention of continuing to quarrel with Wilson. He chuckled and said, "I, the black wolf, have many enemies, not least of which is you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his men took their dead brothers with them and quickly retreated into the dense forest.

After the black wolf left, a militiaman asked: "Captain, are we still chasing him?"

Wilson looked at the hound that was smashed to death and shook his head.

"Chasing a bullshit? Are you chasing me to death?"

"That swordsman can kill our dog with a stone, so can't he kill us with a stone?"

After saying this, all the militiamen present shrank their heads and stopped talking.

Wilson said again: "Allen, Lassen, Corey, and Ade, the four of you go to the church in Lyon Town to deliver a letter and tell Bishop Rebatti everything that happened just now without missing a single detail."

"Yes, Captain."

"We lost six brothers in battle, don't forget to ask the bishop for compensation."

"Yes, Captain."

The four militiamen immediately set off north to Lyon Town.

"The rest of you, take the dead and wounded brothers and follow me back to the village."

On the other side, Black Wolf Adolf led his brothers in the dense forest.

After walking about a mile, Rudolf said: "Dig a pit~bury the brothers who died in battle."

They only lost one, and the rest were injured.

The masked warrior did as he was told.

Before burying the people, the masked warrior had a strange move.

They found stones and smashed the dead man's face until he could no longer see his appearance before death. Then they buried him carefully.

No one objected during the whole process, and no one cried because of it. Everyone was used to it, and their expressions were even very indifferent.

After the people were buried, Rudolf waved his hand and said, "Keep going."

The team walked in silence in the forest for a while, and soon arrived at a clear mountain stream deep in the forest.

Rudolf raised his hand and said, "Rest on the spot."

So, nearly 30 people took off their masks, some washed their faces, some drank water, and some treated their wounds.

The whole process was very quiet, no one spoke, and no one cried out in pain, just like a rigorously trained army.

Rudolf took out a piece of dried meat and a few potatoes, and ate and drank with the clear water in the stream.

After eating for a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned around, he found two people upstream of the mountain stream.

It was the black-haired swordsman and the purple-haired witch who had left before.

The purple-haired witch was sitting on the rocks in the mountain stream, washing herself, and the black-haired swordsman was standing next to her, looking at him with a strange look.

Rudolf was shocked and immediately held the knotty wooden hammer tightly: "Be alert!"

The warriors instantly took a fighting stance, and the whole process took less than 2 seconds.

Rudolf then spoke: "Young man, who are you?"

The martial arts skills shown by the black-haired swordsman before were too amazing. Even if the opponent was only one person, Rudolf did not dare to act rashly.

The black-haired swordsman was naturally Rosen. He looked at the more than 30 soldiers downstream and said calmly: "You don't look like robbers, but like soldiers."

Rudolf remained silent.

"You are definitely not robbing people for bounties, but have other purposes."

"I am very curious about your purpose."

Rudolf said in a deep voice: "Young man, this has nothing to do with you."

Rosen smiled faintly: "The so-called witch you covet is my wife. So this matter is not only related to me."

Rudolf was slightly surprised: "You are also a devil's apostle?!"

Rosen smiled faintly: "We haven't done anything evil, how can we become devils?"

Rudolf said in a deep voice: "The doctrine of the Eternal Sun says that all beings with extraordinary powers are bewitched by the devil and are the devil's apostles in the world!"

Rosen asked back: "Do you believe this?"

"Everyone believes it."

While speaking, Rudolf and the more than 30 soldiers around him all looked nervous.

But they did not show too much hostility, but instead showed a hint of curiosity that could not be concealed.

This state made Rosen's heart move slightly, and he smiled lightly: "You want extraordinary power, right?"

In the mountains and forests, Rudolf did not hide it: "Yes, we are members of the Faceless Brotherhood."

"In our view, the devil is the rhetoric of the church, and most devils are also slandered by the church, but extraordinary power does exist."

"We are not the running dogs of the church, and we are tired of this boring mortal world. We want to pursue powerful power to transcend life and death and transcend the mortal world."

Rosen smiled: "Are you the only ones pursuing it? Or are there a group of guys hiding deeper behind you?"

After a few seconds of silence, Rudolf said: "Of course there are protectors behind us, but the identity of the protectors needs to be kept secret. After all, this world belongs to the church."

Rosen nodded to show that he understood, and then said: "We need mortals to serve. If your service satisfies us, we will give you extraordinary power."

As he spoke, he leaned over, lifted up a nearly 200-kilogram rock with one hand, and threw it up with force, throwing it straight up more than five meters high.

Immediately afterwards, the sword in his right hand flashed, and the rock split into two halves in an instant, and one half of the rock rolled to Rudolf's feet.

Rudolf looked at the split rock, and saw that the crack was as smooth as a mirror, which was obviously cut by the sword.

Any warrior knows the horror of this move, which has greatly exceeded the power that mortals should have.

Rudolf's eyebrows jumped, and the warriors present couldn't help but cry out, greatly shocked by the extraordinary power displayed by Rosen.

Rudolf's face showed a trace of fanaticism, he immediately stood up and bowed to Rosen with a humble face.

"Extraordinary people, we are willing to serve you!"

The second update in the afternoon.
