Chapter 316: Soaring Cliff Encounter (1)
On the 28th, it soon came. However, Glorry's concerns came a little sooner than expected. It's not bad, though, at least not that surprised Glori.
Pulling out the thorns from his fingers, Glori squatted down in a dense area of vines. On this steep rock, this clump of vines was the only one that allowed Glori to watch what was happening down the hill while he was hiding. He had to be careful not to stretch his legs as far as possible, so that he moved forward close to the upturned end of the rock, just facing down the mountain to the southeast.
Hiding cautiously, watching the light of the fire slowly waving up the mountainside, Glori waved his hand at the knight behind him. "Hide and don't be discovered. ”
When he looked back and saw the knight behind the rocks lowering his posture, Glori continued to stare at the bottom of the steep slope. Searching carefully for the fires in the woods below, Glori roughly estimated the number of people.
"Are there only twenty or thirty people? But, how is it not like the Snow King's Knights?"
"Who can see what they look like?"
Seeing that no one answered, Glori had to wait a little longer. Observing and thinking, Glori begins to worry about Adonis and Boris. Then he picked up the vines and glanced at them. He found those with torches carrying a mixed range of weapons, some with one-handed swords at their waists, some with scythes, and some with spears.
Glori, still can't see the specific dress of the person under the mountain. If it was Adonis, he might be able to tell what the people down the mountain were. If Adonis and Boris were at the front of the group, they should be able to see the pursuers down the hill from above. But why did Adonis and Boris not return?
What will happen to Adonis and Boris not far from the Soaring Cliffs? Before the City of Miracles fell to the Order, Glori knew the situation at the Soaring Cliffs.
On the Soaring Cliff, except for some spirits guarding the territory, there is no other danger at all. What's more, a few years ago, the orderly sentinels stationed nearby were long gone. If they stay away from the spirits, Adonis and Boris will not be attacked, unless Adonis and Boris are carrying some magical equipment.
Just as Glori was about to make another plan, one of the knights called out softly, "Captain, I see that one of those people is wearing a blue crewneck liner. ”
The knight, who made the shout, hurried from behind the rocks. The knight, dressed in brown coarse cloth, had a one-handed sword hanging from his waist, and was not wearing armor. According to the plan, the knight disguised himself as a hunter and followed the back of the group. If nothing had happened, he wouldn't have shown up. So, he appeared because he found something.
"What about the others?" asked Glori.
"The others, those people, are civilians. ”
"Civilians?"
"I mean, they're all civilians. You can't be wrong, I followed all the way, just to find out the truth. ”
Is that nice, a team of civilians disguised? So, Wolfer didn't send anybody? Glori couldn't figure it out. Whether it's Belton or Wolfer, they will never let the Golden Covenant quietly leave the City of Miracles, and Glori knows it. If Glori leads the team over the Soaring Cliffs, it will be difficult to catch up. Because, to the west of the soaring cliff, it borders the wild plateau and the flute grassland.
At this point, he couldn't wait for Adonis and Boris to return to the team, and Glori had to keep the team away from the people chasing down the mountain. Sometimes, seeing things isn't necessarily accurate, and Glori has concerns. He feared that the civilians the knight spoke of were not real civilians, and he thought that escaping the City of Miracles in the middle of the night was something that should not have happened.
The city of miracles, which had just been fought, was strictly guarded. In the middle of the night, a wave of people holding torches and trying hard to climb the edge of the mountain, so swaggering, are Wooder's men blind?
Looking at the city of miracles to the southeast, there is no chaos at all. So, Glori thinks that there is a problem with the current group of civilians. Perhaps, they were dressed up as believers in the Church of Light or something.
With questions, Glori waved his hand to the knights behind him, signaling to evacuate.
"And what about Adonis? and Boris ......," Quentin asked.
Without waiting for Glori to reply, Olsen said, "Obviously, our captain seems to have a good plan. ”
Hearing Olsen's words, Glori didn't get angry, but shrugged his shoulders. He was already accustomed to Ou Sen's behavior, and anyway, Ou Sen just expressed his opinion in the way that his elders treated his juniors. So, what more?
After handing over the horse to a knight, Glori waited in place for a while.
At the back of the line, Glori was relieved to see that Susan was the last to leave. Leaving the upturned rock, Glori entered the woods. Along the northwest direction, in order to catch up with the team quickly, Glori chose a shortcut straight up and down. Grabbing the raised rocks on the slope, Glori climbed up the slope above. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Glori found that the needles and rocks under his feet were clearly visible.
"What, where did this fireworks signal come from?"
I don't know who said it, but Glori and the knights reacted quickly. Some hid behind trees, while others went to the ground, plunged their feet into the thick humus, pulled their hands together, and simply took the leaves into their arms. The horses, on the other hand, had been hidden by a knight with illusion magic, and in fact, he had no time to care for anyone else.
When another firework exploded on the top of the mountain, Glori realized that the top of the Soaring Cliff was full of people. Those people are the Snow King Knights that Glori has been waiting for.
Standing on the edge of the cliff above, the one who shouted vigorously was Haussmann: "Look, the little umbrella can't hide the knight's muscular body. Stand up, I said, the guy with his elbows exposed. Aren't you afraid of being pricked? I said, the guy holding the pile of conifers. ”
Tracing the direction Hausman was pointing to, Glori glanced at it as well. As a result, Glori found that the surrounding fir trees were very thin compared to the fir trees passing by. Moreover, Burke got into the needles out of desperation.
Brushing the needles from his head, Burke stood up with a smirk. In order to get the order, he had to glance to the left, five meters away from him, where Glori was hiding behind a pine tree. terminal
"Yes, it's embarrassing. So, friends, don't hide. We were put on the table. ”
Looking overhead, Glori had nothing to say to Haussman, so he prepared to draw his sword. So, what about Adonis and Boris? He glanced at Burke on his right.
Burke shook his head.
"What are you looking at? It seems to me that every one of you is a fool. Hausman began to yell.
"Below, you'd better be honest. If you want to get out of here alive, let the blue stars leave the golden covenant behind. Haussman shouted again.
However, the knights who looked at Haussmann either shrugged their shoulders or pouted, and some laughed out loud because they couldn't hold back. Haussman wanted to use magic to set a tree on fire and threaten. As a result, Haussman saw someone raise his right middle finger. Then, Hausman heard the sound of swords drawn from the bottom of the cliff.
Glori shook his arm, causing the blue flame to spread from his right hand to the blade, "Obviously, none of us agree with you. If you want the Golden Covenant, you've got to come down and get it!"
"I think you'd better come up! ”
Hausman glanced at the crowd approaching Glori's group. Hausman was about to start laughing, but he laughed because of what he saw.
Something didn't feel right, and Glori glanced back. The civilians standing not far away had a red light in their eyes. "Orderly, what's going on? Nightwind Assassins, or another group of Orderly?"
Hesitating, Glori turned around and looked up the cliff to see that Haussman had drawn his sword, and that Haussman was staring at the civilians who had climbed the mountain.
"What's going on?"
Almost everyone who looks at Glori's Meritorious Knight is wondering. Because Haussman actually ordered the Snow King Knights to shoot arrows at the ranks of civilians who pounced.
When a man wearing a blue crewneck liner collapsed, Glori could see what was under the hood. The person in front of him had thin and hollow cheeks, and a trace of black mist was spitting from his mouth.
"Golem?" that was Glori's first reaction.
"What are you waiting for? That's not our people at all!" Hausman shouted directly at Glori at the bottom of the cliff.
However, Glori could also hear Hausman's trill. Clearly, Haussmann was afraid. Therefore, a siege and breakthrough has become another drama.
Now, the Snow King Knights, who surrounded Glori's team, have reached a consensus on joint operations with the besieged Glori's group. However, as Glorry looked at the people in front of him in the robes of the Church of Light, he couldn't help but think of something. The other day, when he first arrived in the City of Miracles, Glori heard something at the liquor branch.
At that time, the owner of the liquor branch said, "Blue Star, it's not easy for you to find those meritorious knight members whose whereabouts are unknown. I know a piece of news about the Knight of Light, though. ”
The news that the owner of the liquor branch said was that someone had found someone in the Edge Mountain who was dressed like the Knight of Light. Moreover, there are a lot of them.
To make sure what he was thinking was right, Glori had to ask Hausman, "You're the only ones chasing us?"
"Yes, that's us. Do you think we're not qualified?"
Haussman didn't worry about his words, even though Hausman knew that his title of high-level magic swordsman was obtained through connections.
Once upon a time, Haussman was a high-ranking samurai, the kind of person who excelled in hand-to-hand combat. However, as a samurai, you have to be good at using an axe. Attending a court ball with an axe was considered unseemly compared to a sword.
In fact, Hausman, as a viscount with a higher status than a knight, also leads the Snow King Knights, and it is easy to go through the relationship - from a samurai to a swordsman, and then use the relationship to perfunctory professional title trials. Later, for the sake of decency, coupled with the ability to show off his strong physique, Hausman chose the big sword. As a result, he became a high-level magic swordsman with wind attribute magic power.
As for Hausman's subordinates, although there are many knights with the title of junior profession, there are also some knights like Beechy Ivan who have the title of senior magician. It's just that Beechcraft is a pity and is disgusted by Haussmann, and is even forbidden to use magic.
"Not qualified?"
Looking back on his past failures, Haussmann was almost out of tune with anger. For this kind of high-pitched speech and rapid transposition, if he makes his voice higher, I am afraid that his voice will be hoarse.
"I mean, these puppets have nothing to do with Belton?"
Glori added calmly. He didn't plan to talk to Hausman, he glanced at Hausman, and found that Hausman was stunned, so he swung his sword directly at the puppet.
Pushing away a puppet, Hausman leaned over and glanced at the mountainside, a little impatient: "There are more down the mountain, haven't you seen it? So, where is the covenant in your hand? Do you want the golden covenant to fall into the hands of the orderly?"
From the initial suspicion of twenty or thirty people, to the sight of the ever-increasing number of puppets in front of him, Glori struggled to keep his composure. Because, he knew that he had to do what he had planned.
