This kind of magic is a real weapon of mass destruction for ordinary people, but of course, it is only effective against ordinary people.
Overall, this trip was quite fruitful.
Roya ran back the way he came, but then stopped abruptly.
Because he sensed that someone had touched his magical barrier.
Chapter 394 Rescue (4k)
The opponent's attack was extremely fierce, and their movements were also very sharp and swift. They launched their attack almost the instant Roya noticed their movements.
Roya raised an eyebrow, his right hand clenched, and the magic power lurking on the ground transformed into sharp blades, instantly turning the nearest soldiers into mincemeat.
Soon, the soldiers there keenly sensed the anomaly and began to probe the magic covering the ground.
Luo Ya frowned. The other side didn't swarm him, but instead launched a probing attack, which was troublesome.
Roya was already quite far from the town, and there were still restrictions on magic in this world. Every time Roya killed a soldier, the magic he left there would decrease by one point, and the more flaws he would reveal would become.
After all, the magic left there is like water without a source; without Roya's own replenishment, it will eventually disappear.
"Ugh, this is such a hassle."
Luo Ya lifted his foot, his figure flashed, and in a few breaths he traversed over a thousand meters, approaching the small village at an extremely terrifying speed.
However, soon, Roya met two unexpected people.
There were two girls, fleeing in a panic towards where Roya was.
Luo Ya bumped into the two little girls.
Behind them were pursuers, two knights in armor riding warhorses, who were chasing the two men with mocking eyes.
Roya paused slightly, giving the two men a strange look.
Logically, the opposing team of knights should have been blocked at the village entrance and shouldn't have been able to get in.
If we just stay in the village, we should be able to hold out until Roya arrives, right?
But these two guys actually managed to escape.
Did they lose their composure upon seeing the enemy's knights?
After all, the people in that village were all ordinary civilians, and they had no means to fight against the regular army of the enemy country. If they really tried to resist, it would only result in a massacre.
The villagers had no idea that Roya had set up a magical barrier around their village. After realizing something was wrong, some villagers panicked and secretly sent their children out to warn others and ask for help. At worst, it would be good if their children could survive.
However, doing so played right into the enemy's hands, and the two people in front of them were one of those who had escaped.
However, the two were extremely unlucky; they hadn't run more than a few steps before they were spotted by the enemy cavalry.
The thought of this gave Luo Ya a headache.
Honestly, can't they just stay in the village quietly?
Without much hesitation, Luo Ya transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the two of them.
-------------------------
The sky was gradually brightening, and a layer of pale white appeared on the distant horizon. The roars of the surrounding wild beasts also gradually became lower.
At the edge of the forest, in the place where Roya had walked, two girls were running.
"Ha ha……"
A young girl was pulling another, even smaller girl along, panting heavily as they ran wildly through the terrain.
The sound of galloping horses behind them was like the footsteps of death, relentlessly chasing after the two. Their faces were pale, their hearts were pounding, and they ran forward with despair in their eyes.
"Sister, I...I can't run anymore."
The short girl complained to her older sister in a tearful voice, but the older sister ignored the little girl's situation and instead said to herself, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"
After saying that, he continued to pull the girl along and ran forward as fast as he could.
This can no longer be described as holding the girl; it's more like dragging her away.
The girl wasn't unconcerned about her younger sister; she simply didn't dare to stop in her tracks.
Even so, the sound of hooves behind them grew closer and closer, the girl beside them grew weaker and weaker, and their own strength gradually gave out. An unprecedented despair lingered in their hearts.
Driven by her desire to live, the girl cried out in despair, "Who, who can save me?"
"stop!"
"You wretched brat!"
The sound of hooves behind them grew more rapid, and they could even hear curses coming from behind.
The two riders on the warhorse were two knights wearing standard armor. Despite their heavy armor and longswords, the knights ran at a speed that was not affected at all.
A sinister grin spread across their faces, their lips curling up in a mocking manner. They were watching the mouse's final, desperate struggle, like cats catching a mouse.
The girl's stubbornness compelled her to continue running, but how could two legs outrun four? As the distance between them drew closer and closer, a flash of white light appeared, and Roya instantly appeared between them.
The novice raised his staff high and then brought it down heavily. The sound of armor shattering rang out, and one of the knights riding a warhorse was instantly thrown to the ground, his helmet shattered.
Roya appeared in front of the fallen knight, swung his wand forcefully, and the wand made contact with the armor again, producing a heavy thud. The knight on the ground instantly fainted.
And Luo Ya completed this series of actions in the blink of an eye.
The knight beside him, who was galloping away, reacted. He stopped chasing the two girls, turned his horse around, drew his longsword, and coldly questioned Roya, "Who are you?"
The knight looked at Roya's mage attire, a smirk playing on his lips. He couldn't help but sneer, "An apprentice mage?"
However, the knight was met with another heavy and powerful blow.
Roya flashed behind the knight, raised his wand high, and smashed it down hard on the knight's head.
The knight flew out in a straight parabola.
A staff is definitely the best tool for hitting people.
Roya waved his staff, which had been enchanted by him, increasing its resistance by two or three times and its overall stats by several times.
The two girls behind them were stunned. The change from life to death was too fast, so fast that neither of them could react.
The battle ended in an instant.
The two knights, who had been the hunters until just now, were being unilaterally violated in front of the hunted girls.
The young man turned around, flicked the blood off his staff, and walked up to the two girls. Under the tense gazes of the girls, he gave them a kind smile.
"Um, how are you guys?"
The young man's gentle voice pulled the girls back to reality, and the eldest girl in front of them instantly burst into tears.
"Thank you so much for saving me!"
At this point, the girl even knelt down and performed a deep bow.
Seeing her older sister kneel down, the little girl next to her followed suit and knelt down as well, saying in her childish voice, "Thank you!"
After observing them for a moment and confirming that neither of them had suffered any obvious injuries, Luo Ya said, "Get up. I'm not used to being thanked on my knees like this."
However, the girls still did not get up. The eldest girl continued in a choked voice, "Sir, please, save our village!"
Roya frowned, looking somewhat displeased.
"Whatever it is, get up first and we'll talk about it."
The girl knew her request was a bit unreasonable, but right now, Roya was the only person they could rely on.
Realizing this, she did not do as Roya had suggested, but continued to kowtow repeatedly, pleading, "Sir, please, save everyone in the village!"
"Please!"
Not only did the girl plead like this, but her younger sister also bowed down to Roya after understanding the current situation.
Luo Ya rubbed his temples, feeling utterly helpless.
Clearly, after escaping danger, the girls' thoughts turned to the village, which was in crisis.
Roya shook his head and slowly said amidst the girls' disappointed expressions, "I should have set up a barrier, right? I've been to your village before, and there were some magical barriers set up. Didn't you notice that most of those knights didn't enter the village to massacre people?"
The girl was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized what was going on. She looked at Luo Ya in disbelief and said, "Everyone was in a panic at the time. My father told me to run immediately, and that's why I grabbed my sister and ran away."
Luo Ya shook his head speechlessly, then flicked the girl's forehead. The girl winced in pain, clutched her head, and looked at Luo Ya with an innocent expression.
Luo Ya said helplessly, "You, really, you don't even know how to observe the situation. You're too careless. If it weren't for me, you and your sister would both be dead here."
Upon hearing this, the girl bowed again to express her gratitude.
Luo Ya shrugged and helped the girl up. It was at this moment that the girl truly began to look at the young man in front of her.
With handsome features and a slightly upturned mouth, his smile gives people a sense of inexplicable ease.
The older brother in front of me seems to be a very kind person?
This thought arose in their minds, and their tense emotions calmed down.
Luo Ya's good looks are beyond question; after so many years of time travel, no one can compare to him.
In any world, many people's values are influenced by their physical appearance, and first impressions are extremely important.
