Clang!
"Your Excellency is..."
Burns drew his sword from his waist and asked cautiously.
Before he could finish,
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Several figures clad in light armor leaped out from between the trees.
Burns turned his head to look.
These armored figures were strikingly similar to the knights he had previously thrown into the river, each bearing some beast-like features on their faces, all dressed in the light armor of the Qi'an Kingdom!
Beast-like eyes, beast-like ears, beast-like mouths... all that was missing was a nose!
Realizing this, a sudden epiphany struck Burns, followed by a heavy sinking feeling in his heart.
This wizard, who had suddenly blocked the way, turned out to be the pursuer!
He took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and turned his head to speak quickly:
"Princess Polly, the situation is dire, you must take Gallagher and hurry to the cave to inform Wizard Colin!
Tell the wizard, our pursuers from behind... actually include a wizard!!"
