Chapter 394: Rescue

The other party's momentum was quite fierce, and their actions were quite sharp and swift. Almost at the moment when Roa noticed the other party's actions, they had already launched their actions.

Roa's brow raised, his right hand clenched, and the magic power lurking on the ground turned into sharp blades, instantly strangling several nearby soldiers into minced meat.

Soon, the soldiers over there had keenly noticed the abnormality and began to tentatively target the magic power covering the ground.

Roa frowned. The other party didn't rush up all at once, but launched tentative attacks, which was very troublesome.

Roa was already a bit far from the town. This world still had restrictions on magic power. Every time he killed a soldier, the magic power Roa left there would decrease, and the flaws revealed would become more.

After all, the magic power placed there was like water without a source. Without Roa's own replenishment, it would eventually disappear.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome."

Roa raised his foot, and his figure flickered, crossing thousands of meters in a few breaths, approaching the small village at an extremely terrifying speed.

However, soon, Roa met two unexpected people.

They were two girls who were running away from him in a panic.

Roa ran into these two girls head-on.

They were followed by pursuers, two knights in armor riding warhorses, chasing after these two guys in front of them with mocking eyes.

Roa's footsteps slowed slightly, and he sized up these two guys strangely.

In principle, that team of knights should have been blocked at the entrance of the village and shouldn't have been able to come in.

If they had stayed in the village honestly, they should have been able to hold out until Roa arrived, right?

But these two guys actually ran out.

Did they lose their composure when they saw the knights sent by the enemy?

After all, the people in that village were all commoners. How could they have the means to fight against the regular army of the enemy country? If they really fought hard, it would only be a massacre.

The people in the village didn't know that Roa had set up a magic barrier around their village. After realizing that something was wrong, some villagers panicked and secretly let their children run out to inform them and ask for reinforcements. At the very least, it would be good if their children could survive.

However, doing so only fell into the enemy's trap. These two people in front of him were one of the members who ran out.

It was just that these two people were very unlucky, and they were discovered by the enemy cavalry before they had run a few steps.

Thinking of this, Roa felt a headache.

Really, couldn't they just stay in the village honestly?

Without much hesitation, Roa turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the two.

…

At this moment, the sky was gradually brightening, and a layer of fish belly white appeared on the distant horizon. The sounds of wild beasts roaring around gradually became low.

At the edge of the forest, that is, the place Roa had passed, two girls were running.

"Ha...ha..."

One girl was pulling another smaller girl, panting while running wildly in such terrain.

The sound of horses galloping from behind was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, constantly chasing after the two. The two girls' faces were pale, their hearts were pounding, and they were just running forward with despair.

"Sister, I...I can't run anymore."

The shorter girl complained to her sister with a crying voice, but the girl ignored the little girl's situation and just said, "Hurry! Faster!"

After speaking, she continued to pull the girl and ran forward desperately.

It could no longer be said that she was pulling the girl, but dragging the girl to escape.

The girl didn't not feel sorry for her sister, but she didn't dare to stop at all.

But even so, the sound of horseshoes behind her was getting closer and closer, the strength of the girl beside her was getting smaller and smaller, and her own physical strength was gradually failing. An unprecedented despair lingered in her heart.

The desire for survival forced the girl to let out a desperate cry: "Is there anyone, is there anyone who can save me."

"Stop!"

"Damn little brat!"

The sound of horseshoes behind her was getting more and more urgent, and she could even hear the abuse coming from behind.

The two people riding on the warhorses were two knights wearing standard armor. The knights were wearing standard armor, holding long swords, but their running speed was not affected by the heavy armor at all.

They had a hideous grin on their faces, and their mouths were hooked, with a faint hint of mockery. They were like cats catching mice, watching the mice's last-ditch efforts before death.

The girl's stubbornness forced her to continue running wildly, but how could two legs run faster than four legs. Seeing that the distance between them was getting closer and closer, in the next moment, a white light flashed, and Roa instantly appeared in the middle of the two.

The beginner's staff was raised high, and then fell heavily. Only the sound of armor shattering was heard. One of the knights riding a warhorse was instantly knocked to the ground, and the helmet shattered all over the ground.

Roa's figure appeared in front of the fallen knight. The magic wand waved hard, and the magic wand and armor made intimate contact again, making a heavy striking sound. The knight who fell on the ground instantly fainted.

And Roa had completed this series of actions in just the blink of an eye.

The knight who was galloping alongside him reacted. He didn't continue to chase the two girls, but turned his horse around, drew his long sword, and coldly questioned Roa, "Who are you?"

The knight looked at Roa's appearance as a magician, and the corner of his mouth curled up as he couldn't help but sneer, "Apprentice magician?"

However, what responded to the knight was another heavy and powerful blow.

Roa flashed behind the knight, raised the magic wand in his hand high, and slammed it hard at the knight's head.

The knight flew out in a straight parabola.

Magic staves, after all, were best used for hitting people.

Roa waved the staff in his hand, this staff had been enchanted by Roa, the durability had doubled or tripled, and the overall value had increased several times.

The two girls behind him were already stunned. The transition between life and death was too fast, so fast that the two of them hadn't reacted.

The battle ended in an instant.

The two knights, who until just now had been in the role of hunters, were subjected to unilateral trampling in front of the hunted girls.

The youth looked back, shaking off the blood on the staff. Roa walked in front of the two, and under the nervous gaze of the girls, he showed a kind smile.

"Um, are you okay?"

The youth's soft voice brought the girls' thoughts back to reality. The older of the girls instantly became teary-eyed and started crying.

"Th-Thank you for your help!"

Speaking of this, the girl even knelt down and bowed deeply.

The little girl next to the girl saw her sister kneeling down, and did the same, saying in a childish voice, "Thank you!"

Roa observed and confirmed that they didn't have any obvious injuries, and then said, "Get up, I'm not used to being thanked like this."

However, the girls still didn't get up. The older of the girls continued in a choked voice: "Um, sir, please, save our village!"

Roa's brow furrowed, and he looked a little displeased.

"If there's anything, let's talk about it after you get up."

The girl knew that her request was a bit too much, but right now, they could only rely on Roa.

After realizing this, she didn't do as Roa said, but continued to kowtow like a chicken pecking at rice and continued: "Sir, please, save everyone in the village!"

"Please!"

Not only was the girl pleading like this, but the girl's sister also bowed to Roa after understanding the current situation.

Roa rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very helpless.

Obviously, after getting rid of the danger, what the girls thought of was the village in danger.

Roa shook his head and slowly opened his mouth under the disappointed expressions of the girls: "I should have set up a barrier, right? I've been to your village chief before, and set up some magic barriers. Didn't you find out that most of those knights didn't enter the village to slaughter?"

The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she suddenly realized. She said to Roa in disbelief: "Everyone was already panicked at the time, and my father immediately told me to run quickly. That's why I pulled my sister out."

Roa shook his head speechlessly, reached out and flicked the girl's forehead. The girl felt pain, hugged her head, and looked at Roa with an innocent expression.

Roa said helplessly: "You, really, you don't even know how to observe the situation, you're too careless. If you hadn't met me, you and your sister would have died here."

When the girl heard this, she bowed again to thank him.

Roa shrugged and pulled the girl up. It was also at this time that the girl really began to size up the youth in front of her.

His features were handsome, his face was handsome, and his slightly upturned corners of his mouth made people feel a sense of ease when he smiled.

The big brother in front of her seemed to be a very kind person?

This idea rose in the hearts of the two, and the nervous emotions became stable.

There was no need to say anything about Roa's appearance. After so many years of time travel, there was no one who could compare to Roa.

And in any world, many people's values follow their faces. First impressions are very important.

And right now, such a handsome youth, plus Roa was the savior of both of them, which naturally greatly increased the girl's favorability.

She didn't know why, but the girl's cheeks became a little flushed, but she still opened her mouth and said: "Um, thank you for saving us. My name is Enri Emmot, this is my sister."

Enri Emmot, a village girl from Carne Village, was an ordinary person to the point that she couldn't be any more ordinary. She was also a character who appeared several times in the original story. Although she wasn't an important character, she wasn't an insignificant character either.

In the beginning, Ainz saw Enri Emmot taking her sister and fleeing for their lives, so he took action to save them and began to further understand this world.

However, this time, Roa transmigrated over and gave Ainz a surprise, making Ainz feel a sense of urgency in his heart, which caused a small deviation in the plot.

Enri Emmot still ran out of the village, but this time it wasn't Ainz who saved them, but Roa.

It was hard to say whether she was lucky or unlucky. He had obviously set up a safety barrier around the village, and although it couldn't stop the enemy for too long, it was at least safe.

As a result, Enri just had to sneak out of the village with her sister to inform them, and that was fine, but she just happened to be discovered by the enemy.

If you said she was unlucky, she was able to meet Roa and have Roa save her life.

He supported her up. This place wasn't too far from the village anymore. Roa put a flying buff on her, picked up one in each hand, and began to rush towards the distance.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at your village." Roa said casually.

Under the astonished gazes of the girls, their bodies became extremely light. Roa grabbed their small hands and began to rush towards Carne Village.

…

Carne Village, the square.

This was a vast place, located in the center of the village.

On weekdays, this would be a gathering place for children, a trading place for outsiders, and some villagers would also dry some grains here, which could be described as bustling.

However, the square at this moment was silent. It wasn't that there was no one in the square. On the contrary, a group of people gathered in the square, with the elderly, the young, and the children. Everyone had a look of fear on their faces, looking at a group of people not far from the square.

That was a group of knights wearing standard armor. Some of them were riding horses, and some of them were standing in place, looking at the villagers in the village with serious faces.

And around them, there were also more than a dozen corpses lying there.

The most conspicuous were naturally the knights wearing armor. These two knights were the unlucky ones who were pierced by Roa's manipulated magic power.

In addition to these knights, there were also some ordinary villagers lying around.

These villagers were all villagers who had scattered and fled because they were too frightened, and escaped the range of the magic power released by Roa and were killed by the knights.

The knights weren't stupid either. The leading knight tentatively probed a bit and had already figured out seven or eight parts.

Although magic barriers were rare in this world, they weren't non-existent.

Although he didn't know why a magic barrier would appear in this remote village, the most important thing right now was to complete the mission assigned by the higher-ups.

But it wasn't that there was no way to do it. These villagers scattered like birds and beasts after seeing them. After killing a few fleeing villagers, they realized that something was wrong, and then they realized that the hall was the safest place, and the knights outside couldn't enter the village at all and could only threaten and intimidate them from the side.

The perspective switched to the leading knight.

He roared at the knight beside him with some irritability: "Find a way to enter the town, damn it, that magician had nothing better to do than to set up such a troublesome magic array here. We've never encountered such a thing when slaughtering the surrounding villages."

The name of this knight captain was Belius, and he was indeed the captain of this knight team.
