C164 Waves on Homeward Journey(part Iii)

After Eavan left, Arthur continued to eat his breakfast calmly.

"So," Tristan said, "when can we go back?" I don't want to spend the whole day in this little country. "

"Wait a little longer." "Arthur played with the red Dragon Scale." Malefic was still fighting with each other over what happened yesterday, no matter how he called out to him, he didn't respond … Or maybe he was too tired and still sleeping. "

"When?" Tristan said. "You heard it earlier, there were assassins waiting outside the village to kill us." It was not a good place to stay. "

"If they want to come, then come." There are some things I'm going to ask them. Arthur replied.

"Lianyin, you're a little worried about staying at home to watch over me …" Bedivere muttered.

"The Mechanical Woman is so powerful that you don't have to worry about her." Tristan said coldly.

"Enough." If you want to return to the capital from such a remote village, let me think about it. "Arthur pondered." Do you want to take a train? "

"The train?" This village seems to have a train station, but... "Tristan asked doubtfully," Shouldn't you be busy preparing for the duel with the Duke of Yoens? Is it really okay to take the train home at such a leisurely pace? "

"I have other plans." Arthur replied.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was already in the train's private room. The room wasn't too big, just big enough for four people.

"Is it going to take about five hours to get to London?" Then wouldn't it be noon by the time I get home? Bedivere replied.

Arthur looked at the scenery outside the window as he thought, "Don't think too much into it. Traveling was not just a matter of reaching one's destination. Enjoying the scenery along the way was also a type of pleasure. "

"You're so relaxed." Tristan said, "Have you already thought of a way to deal with Yoens's contracted creature? Did you guess what it was? "

"No, I can't figure it out." However, I have considered how to deal with those who are faster. "

"Oh?" What is it? "

"You'll know when the time comes." Arthur smiled mysteriously.

"Damn it, you're being suspenseful again!?" Tristan shouted angrily.

Arthur wanted to say something, but his surroundings suddenly became pitch black.

There was something like a dark cloud outside the window, blocking out the light. Arthur quickly closed the window, and that black thing only ran in a little bit. Bedivere accidentally inhaled and felt dizzy, he immediately covered his nose. An assassin? "

"Everyone be careful." Arthur unsheathed his sword. Once the Holy Sword was held by Arthur, it would emit a weak golden light that illuminated the pitch-black carriage.

"Guests, be careful. Belem's Thief Association is here. the guard on the train said.

"Belem's Thief Association? "

"There are always bandits on the train tracks these days, robbers on the road." Their leader was best at using this type of bewitching smoke to mesmerize the passengers and then snatch away their belongings. "There's a gas mask under your seat. Please put it on first." "

Arthur and the others had already put on their gas masks.

"You must be..." Knight, right? The guard looked at the armor that Arthur and the others were wearing. "We were assigned by the railway station to protect Belem's Thief Association, but based on our current numbers, our fighting strength is still insufficient." If it's convenient, can you guys help repel the Thief Association? "

"Yes." "However, we are not philanthropists. We will not work for nothing." "

"Is the bounty on Thief Association enough to cover your expenses?" A middle-aged man approached.

"Captain?" "

"You can meet up with the guards first. I'll negotiate with them." the guard said.

"Got it." "

After the guard had hurried off, the captain said, "I'm Douglas, the captain of the guard on the train. Just call me Doug." I had been paying attention to you the moment you got on the carriage, Heavenly Stage Knight. "

"Oh, Arthur has become so famous!" Tristan said. "The duel was broadcasted nationwide, it was very effective." "

"We'll talk about it later. Let's get to the point." Arthur said coldly.

"The point is, those damn bandits are coming. Last time, they killed a lot of my brothers and then ran away. This time, I want to use your power to eliminate these pests." "Their leader, Belem, is the one who used the bewitching smoke." I want his head. "

"I'll try." Arthur said, "Do you have a plan to capture them all?" "

"About this —" The head guard came over to explain his plan to Arthur.

"Got it." Everyone, let's split up. "Biddy, you stay here and protect Toville." "

"Oh." The Werewolf Boy said.

"Seeing you take the train leisurely, you've met a bandit." Tristan replied.

The result was the same. As long as the train did not stop, the time of arrival would not change. It was just a little bit more entertainment along the way. Arthur replied in an indifferent tone.

At the other end, in the trunk. As the thieves held the passengers hostage, they confronted the guards in the other car in front of them.

"Get out of the way!" Otherwise, I'll kill all the hostages in this carriage! the leader of the bandits said.

The guards backed away slowly as they stood guard, as if they couldn't do anything to the bandits.

"Such a narrow space. There's no way to save the hostages." Tristan observed the situation from within the group of guards.

"Where's the Lord Arthur?" the guard asked.

"That's a good question." How should I know? Tristan shrugged.

He stepped forward and performed a magic trick in front of the door of the carriage.

"What are you doing?!" "

"Since no one has a solution, I'll do it my way." Tristan smiled mysteriously.

"Tell the people in your carriage to leave their belongings behind, and then you can back off one of the carriages!" the bandits shouted.

"How beautiful it is to think of taking hostages and looting another carriage?" Tristan replied.

Some of the passengers from the guard's side of the car had already fled to the front of the train, but the chief guard came out and shouted, "Please leave your belongings behind as a condition of protecting the hostages!" The railway will be responsible for compensation for the looted property! "

Despite the skepticism, most of the passengers had left their luggage and moved to the front of the train.

"Let's go back to the front." "Don't worry, this is the last carriage they can take." "

"What do you mean?" "

"You'll see in a minute." Tristan said as he moved towards the carriage.

The bandits took hostages as they entered the carriage. When they were completely inside, Tristan suddenly smiled slyly. He pressed one hand on the ground and started a magic trick.

Inside the bandits' carriage, dozens of magic traps had already been activated due to Tristan's guidance. Ice quickly spread inside the carriage, not only blocking the front and back doors, but also blocking all the windows.

"What?!" Brat, what are you playing at?! Do you want us to kill all the hostages?! Untie the magic! "

"Idiot, how could I possibly solve this?" This is the Icy Prison specially prepared for you. It will quickly take away your stamina. Why don't you try it on yourself? You can't even move a finger now! "

Tristan boasted a lot of things, but before he could finish, the bandits inside the carriage were already frozen solid. Of course, even the hostages were frozen solid.

"You, you don't even care about hostages?!" the guard asked in surprise.

"It's just a temporary freeze. They won't die." "Tristan undid the magic from the Ice Prison." Hurry and tie up those fellows! "

The guards went over, first to rescue (remove) the hostages, then to bind the bandits one by one.

"Heh heh, you want to become a bandit with just this little skill?" Tristan mocked as he walked over to join the fun.

"You …." Bastard! One of the strong bandits broke through the ice and struck the guard who was trying to tie him up. At the same time, he raised his sword and slashed at Tristan.

"Wow!" "Tristan was frightened by the sudden turn of events. He wanted to block with his ice sword, but it was too late!

"So noisy!" A Photon Arrow shot down from the roof of the carriage, accurately blowing off the bandit's head. The bandit weakly collapsed, pressing Tristan down onto the ground.

"Ah!" Uncle's smell stinks! Get lost! Tristan struggled to push away the bandit's corpse, but did not forget to shout out loud: "Arthur, why did you shoot so randomly?! You want to kill me too?! "

"Stop it!" You guys are so noisy, who doesn't know where you are?! Arthur who was on the top of the carriage shouted in anger.

At this time, Arthur had already changed the small cross bow in his hands back to the Photon Dagger. This was actually a little toy made by Bedivere using the extra parts of his light sword, for Arthur to use for his defense.

"Oh, is it still a dagger?" I thought you used a crossbow on purpose to turn the tables. the man across from him said. This guy clad in black leather armor was the leader of Thief Association, Belem. He once again looked at Arthur with contempt. "What happened to the Longsword on your back, did you not plan to use it anymore?" "

Arthur said coldly, "I do not need to use any other weapons, just this dagger is enough to deal with you. "

It would be fine to say it, but in reality, it was useless, Arthur thought.

Holy Sword was powerful, but in the current situation, if he were to brandish it, his speed would not be able to keep up.

His opponent had used a very strange attacking method.

That guy's hand blended into the darkness. In this black fog, it seemed like it could move freely in an instant.

It was not clear what the principle was. But this black mist, was probably the exit of countless Subspace. Meanwhile, that guy's hands could freely travel back and forth between these Subspace.

Even Arthur, who had used his Mind's Eye Arts to perfection, could instantly determine the opponent's hostility and dodge, but was still unable to completely dodge this sudden attack. Even if he could react to it, his body would not be able to react in time to dodge the attack!

Initially, it was still possible to flee far away the moment he detected enmity. But the train had become the worst battlefield. There wasn't enough room to escape even if they wanted to.

Arthur knew clearly in his heart that if he did not think of a way quickly, this train would become his grave.
