Chapter 599: Not Compatible

Just before dawn, when busy figures appeared in the camp of the Warren garrison.

Mary sat next to the low table. The oil lamp on the table was the only light source in the tent. Even if it was brightened to the maximum, there was still a large area of ​​darkness, especially behind Mary, because of the occlusion, there was a large area of ​​shadows.

On the bed, James VIII was still asleep.

After Kieran repelled the first wave of grassland cavalry yesterday, the old king almost fell into a sleep in a faint.

He is so tired.

Facing Jenny James, the old king was already exhausted.

The prairie cavalry that followed made him even more exhausted.

In fact, since he came to the Thunder Fortress, from the beginning of rebuilding the Thunder Fortress to the assembly of the troops that can be assembled, the old king has handled it all by himself.

Even with the help of others, the old king only rested for two or three hours in a few days, which was wearing down on the old king's already overwhelmed body.

Mary could clearly see that even in deep sleep, her nominal father's face was pale.

It seems that the fire of life will be extinguished at any time.

Frowning, Mary pressed the blanket on the other party's body tighter.

Although she still couldn't face up to her father, she felt that he was really pitiful in her heart.

It should have been the prime of life, but it was already old.

The whole life is like a puddle of ink.

Everywhere is dark, without any color.

The other party is not happy!

Mary was quite sure of that.

In front of her, it is just a forced smile, but when alone, it is even more moaning.

"Is it the duty of the king?"

Mary muttered softly.

With such a living example in front of her, the girl immediately felt great pressure.

James VIII had already notified all his close ministers and advisors that she had become Warren's legal heir the day before the prairie army appeared.

She will inherit the throne when James VIII dies.

only……

The girl hesitated.

Looking at the appearance of James VIII, the girl is not happy about inheriting the throne, but more worried.

At this moment, what she thought of was Fort Swart.

She wants to go back there, where she was born and raised.

But immediately, Mary felt a tightness in her chest.

She remembered.

Fort Swart had also been destroyed.

Her mother was also buried in that soil.

The girl's eye sockets are reddish.

When she was alone, she took off her mature mask, and she was still a half-grown child.

But she didn't let the tears flow.

Because she knows that crying is useless.

Tears can't get what she wants.

It will only make her more miserable.

Mary stretched out her hand to hold the hilt of the [Sword of Thorns], which was a relic left to her by her mother. Because of its weight and length, Mary could not use this sword normally, but under Kieran's reminder, she Will carry this sword with me at all times.

"Communicate with 'Sword'?"

"Experience the mind of 'Sword'?"

Mary couldn't understand the meaning of these words yet, but that didn't stop her from following suit.

Because she trusted Qin Ran.

Because, when she thought of Qin Ran, her heart was hot.

That warm feeling made her stronger despite her loneliness.

hum!

The long sword in the scabbard hummed.

Unusually short.

When Mary wanted to confirm again, she had already disappeared without a trace, making her think it was just an illusion.

But some people don't think so.

Breathing rapidly, a figure stood out from the shadows, and he raised his hand to grab the [Sword of Thorns], and at the same time grabbed Mary's throat with the other hand.

Mary stayed where she was.

He seemed to be taken aback by the scene in front of him.

The raider let out a grin.

so easy!

This task is so easy!

Not only easy, but rewarding!

Take a look at this long sword, it must be a weapon of inheritance!

"Bring it!"

With the abnormal excitement in his heart, the attacker couldn't help but make a sound, the voice was sharp, but then the sharp sound was only the sound of inhalation.

Moreover, it is the kind that does not take in much air, and only the air is left.

Even the sound of venting is getting weaker and weaker.

A powerful palm appeared on the attacker's neck at some point.

As the slender fingers tightened, the attacker fell into suffocation.

His face is reddish purple, and his tongue sticks out.

But this couldn't hide the shock in the other party's eyes.

Why are you still here? !

Shouldn't you have been lured away? !

The other party couldn't ask, but such thoughts in his heart couldn't help turning up.

Mary stood up and walked to Qin Ran's side.

"If the people of the Snake faction really only have such an IQ, no wonder they will be wiped out by Holly!"

"I tied up Bosco with great fanfare, and came towards the Thunder Fortress... As long as you are a normal person, you will be aware of the tricks!"

"Or, do you think that because of the prairie people, the place has already panicked, and there is no common sense judgment?"

Mary asked in a low voice.

The attacker who was strangled by Qin Ran couldn't answer at all.

The sense of suffocation not only deprives the other party of their mobility, but also puts the other party's life in jeopardy.

Qin Ran looked at the prisoner in his hand, and his doubts became even more serious.

too easy!

The situation in front of him was really so simple that it was beyond his expectation.

As Mary said, as long as you are a normal person, you will be aware of the tricks.

This is completely incompatible with an organization that has gone through destruction and then re-developed and hidden in Luldry.

On the contrary, it is a bit like a child's play house.

"He's just an idiot, look at that 'naive' master!"

With doubts in his heart, Qin Ran walked towards the back of the camp with the other party in his arms.

Mary walked side by side.

...

It worked!

Sure enough, the Warren defenders had lost their due judgment under the oppression of the prairie people.

Fink looked at Qin Ran in front of him and sneered from the bottom of his heart.

Fink, who was thinking about how to open up the situation, never thought that Tosta's idiot assassination would be able to find out the reality of Warren's defenders.

It was so unexpected and surprising.

"This time I will..."

Fink was still thinking about something.

But immediately his eyes flared.

what did he see

Kieran!

Another Qin Ran walked towards him.

What's more, Kieran was still holding Bob!

Without even thinking about it, Fink held Bosco hostage and headed towards the horse.

Mission failed!

All that's left is... a safe evacuation!

Fink has long remembered the skills and code of conduct of an assassin.

And, that's what it did.

But 'Qin Ran' standing in front of him smiled.

Fink, who was holding Bosco as hostage, felt his world spinning, his vision went dark, and then he just stood there stupidly.

"Owner!"

'Bloody Mary' bowed to Qin Ran.

Following Kieran's gesture, the evil spirit turned into nothingness.

The surrounding soldiers, including Mary, watched this scene in astonishment, and the soldiers looked at Qin Ran with more and more awe.

Feeling this gaze, Qin Ran strode towards Fink.

"I need a tent!"

After picking up Fink, Qin Ran spoke extremely fast.
