Chapter 696 Enemy Attack
Luke and Wanda naturally also heard the conversation between the Vatican Knights and Edwin.
The two of them understood each other tacitly and were ready to kill everyone at any time.
Although this group of knights left.
But the seeds of doubt had been planted.
Luke also knew that Edwin must have doubts in his heart.
But the more anxious you are to prove something, the more it shows that there is a problem.
Luke and Wanda didn't show the slightest bit of surprise.
Still the same as before.
While eating, Edwin also tried to get Luke to talk in a subtle way.
But Luke said they had 4 people at the beginning.
It was just that two of the warlock's followers died while on a mission in the wild.
That's why he left in a hurry.
The usefulness of the two hooligans who came into the city to silence the witnesses was demonstrated.
After Luke erased the symbol on their daggers, he held them out in front of Edwin.
Remember it.
Edwin also realized that this was the weapon used by ordinary adventurers.
Nothing special.
I temporarily believed what Luke said.
Luke also thought that after Wanda obtains the real identity of Warlock, she must hire a few people.
The group continued to move forward carefully.
On this day, everyone still had lunch on the road.
Everyone had barbecue burritos for lunch.
With Luke's craftsmanship, it was naturally well received.
Luke didn't want to suffer either. Since he had to eat like an ordinary person, he had to eat well.
What’s more, there is Wanda who cannot practice fasting.
In the past, when Wanda was with Luke, Luke didn't need to do anything.
Now, after tasting Luke’s cooking, that level of pickyness…
She had completely forgotten the hard times she and Pietro had gone through as children.
However, this also made Edwin and others determine that Luke and Wanda were not the couple that the Vatican was looking for.
Wanda, the warlock, is obviously not an ordinary warlock when she comes with such an almighty butler.
This is not something that can be developed overnight.
Besides, Luke is truly versatile.
Driving the carriage, arranging camping, cooking, gathering...
After the work is done, he still wears a clean vintage suit, spotless.
Luke is really familiar with the British royal family's butler.
They are professionals.
Just a simple imitation was enough to shock these natives.
Shortly after lunch, Luke suddenly called Edwin.
"Captain Edwin, Ms. Maximoff is feeling a little under the weather. I hope we can find a place to camp in a little while."
Faced with the warlock's request, Edwin naturally would not refuse.
After talking to the team members, the two female scouts quickly rode ahead to explore the way.
Soon, they found a suitable place to camp.
Luke looked at the place and was satisfied.
This is a valley with mountains on two sides and a stream on one side.
The campsite is a small piece of high ground, which is very good and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The carriage was placed at the innermost part, and the others performed their respective duties.
It wasn't time for dinner yet, but Luke was already preparing food.
It is impossible to make bread in the wild.
The dry bread they brought with them had long been thrown away.
Luke used flour to make hand-rolled noodles, gluten cakes and other simple staple foods, which had long replaced the unpalatable dry bread.
The combination of grilled meat and vegetable soup is so delicious that you will never get tired of it.
After everyone had eaten early, Luke called Edwin.
"There might be trouble tonight, so you should go to bed early and get ready."
Edwin said nothing, but nodded.
Then he looked at his teammates in the distance and sighed.
After arranging the team members, Edwin returned to the campfire.
Luke was sitting by the campfire.
"Actually, I used to be a guard in the Royal Guards."
Luke nodded.
"It can be seen that your skills have some resemblance to those of a regular army soldier."
In fact, Luke was just saying this. He had never seen the strength of the Royal Guards.
Edwin continued:
"I don't know what will happen if I get involved in the royal family's struggle for power, but the old general has done me a favor, so I can't help but help the princess."
Luke stirs the campfire.
"When it comes to fighting for the throne, no matter how you do it, it's wrong, even if the princess does inherit the throne in the end."
Edwin said nothing, just sat quietly beside Luke.
Neither of them said anything, and they just sat there for a long time.
As soon as he added some firewood to the campfire, Luke pulled out a rapier from the bag beside him.
This was given to him by the Turners. (See Chapter 557 for details)
When Luke got it, he didn't look at it carefully.
At that time, he had too many weapons in his hands, so how could he have the chance to use such ancient cold weapons?
But now, the opportunity has come.
The properties of this sword are magical.
Special attributes: No matter what kind of terrain it is, it will be as easy as walking on flat ground, and the attack and blocking speed will be increased by 50%, and the sword body will be 50% stronger.
After all, he is a legendary blacksmith, and the rapier he forged is indeed extraordinary.
Just as Luke was preparing equipment for Wanda, he saw the sword in the corner.
The rapier is one of the weapons in this plane.
But most of them were used for decoration by nobles.
This rapier has no gorgeous decorations, but the patterns on it also reveal an extraordinary atmosphere.
It just so happens that Luke can use this to show off in this dimension.
Seeing Luke take out his weapon, Edwin also stood up and woke up the team members.
Everyone was ready.
Even Wanda came out of the carriage.
Whoosh, a sound of breaking through the air broke the tranquility of the night.
Wanda was quick-witted and drew her bow to intercept the incoming arrow.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Wanda quickly drew the bow and shot arrows continuously towards the dark forest in the distance.
People kept screaming.
The flames attached to the arrows also illuminated the forest.
Edwin gasped at the sight.
There are dozens of people lying in ambush in this forest...
"Array~"
Edwin roared, and he and another teammate erected a shield wall.
The other party also rushed over.
Edwin took advantage of the terrain and defended.
Moreover, his original intention was to protect Luke and Wanda behind the formation as well.
Wanda's long-range cannon is definitely a powerful weapon as long as it is well protected.
But unexpectedly, the other side also had a warlock.
After being caught off guard at first, the opponent reacted immediately.
Wanda's arrows were blocked by the opponent's water wall several times.
Suddenly, he felt that the shield in his hand was somewhat out of control.
A reddish energy attached to his shield.
This energy also has a thin thread connecting to another place.
"Damn it, they are monks from the Vatican. They are cooperating with the Vatican..."
When Edwin felt that the shield in his hand was about to pull him into the opponent's camp, Luke next to him swung a sword.
Directly cut off the energy that was involving him.
Luke swung his rapier gracefully.
It’s my turn to show off, get out of the way.
Then, the members of Edwin's team saw a surprising scene.
Wanda focused on dealing with the opponent's warlock, while Luke held the sword in one hand and the other hand behind his back.
Like an elegant dancer, harvesting lives among the enemy's crowd.
There was no sound of metal colliding, only the constant wailing of the enemy.
Every time Luke stabbed with his sword, someone would fall.
The enemy's blood splattered everywhere, but not a drop of it touched Luke.
Luke harvested the food among the crowd with a strange movement.
Finally, they arrived in front of the monk from the Vatican that Edwin had mentioned.
