Chapter 317: Soaring Cliff Encounter (2)
Earlier, Glori had already learned about Belton from Hausman. Obviously, Haussman doesn't think the puppets' origins have anything to do with Belton. Or, as Hausman put it, the Order Keepers fighting for the Golden Covenant.
No, it's not.
If it was the Order Keepers who came to snatch it, then it should have been done at the foot of Edge Mountain a long time ago. Why wait until now? A few days ago, Glori had not received any news that something unusual had been detected. So, Glori thinks that the puppets in front of him must have just appeared.
Since there are puppets, there must be people who manipulate them. Could it be Belton? Glori has always guessed that Belton has a reason. Glori had to worry about Belton's magical attributes.
Belton has both the magic of darkness and the power of the moon god, which is a strange thing. From Perry and Virgil, Glori knew that Silver had given Belton some of the power of the moon god, so where did the dark magic come from?
"We have to know who the enemy we are facing, or the victims on the mountain will stand up as puppets because of that man. There are more and more enemies, which is not good. ”
Glori is speaking to Luna. At this moment, he saw Luna standing back-to-back with Susan due to the damage to her magic. He thought Luna would know something, as Luna was well-informed.
"Luna, do you know what happened to us?" added Glori.
"Obviously, someone is not going to let you take the covenant with you. Moreover, the man and Wofer had different interests. Luna snorted.
Well, Luna wants to torture Glori again. But why is there a difference between the person Luna is talking about and Wolfer above profit?
Also, could the guy controlling the puppet be the Order Guy from Betsy's Manor?
Glori's unsure. If the person controlling the puppets is the orderly man in Betsy's Manor who has become Boy Hugh, then the puppets in front of him are related to Belton. But why did Belton turn the knights of the Church of Light into puppets to summon them?
If the Knight of Light, who was killed on Edge Mountain, had a dispute with Belton, it was a different story. At the moment, Glori can only guess, and he can't even find a clue because he doesn't know where the Knight of Light on Edge Mountain came from. With no conclusive evidence, Glori didn't want to think about why the Light Knight became a puppet.
However, Glori still thinks that what Luna said is correct because of Luna's reminder. For now, who else in the City of Miracles would have a conflict of interest with Wofver in the face of the Golden Covenant?
Either way, as things stand, Glori and his friends are in trouble. So, after knocking down a golem with blue flames, Glori glanced towards the Soaring Cliff again.
What Glori is looking at is not Haussmann's Snow King Knights, but whether Adonis and Boris are present. Earlier, when Adonis and Boris left the team, Glori asked Adonis and Boris to prepare. Glori thought that the earlier plan should come in handy.
Either bury the Snow Knights on the hillside with the puppets, or have a new fight with the Snow Knights after repelling the puppets, Glori is hesitating.
If the Snow King Knights were buried with the puppets, Wofher's power would be affected, and indirectly by the defenses of the City of Miracles.
Obviously, retaking the City of Miracles from the Demon Dragon Empire has come at a great price. Even if the owner of the City of Miracles is Wooder, Duke of Norton, and not a loyal minister of Alex's Kingdom, the Dragon Empire cannot be reclaimed.
More strength had to be reserved for Wolfer, Glori weighed in his heart.
"We've got to keep these puppets under the Soaring Cliffs. Glori shouted to Hausman.
"Oh, do you really think of the so-called 'cooperation' as a thing? If I can get out alive from the siege of these puppets, then the unlucky person must be you!"
Hausman gave Glori a cold look, as he said, thinking about how to make Glori fall in front of his eyes.
One way is to take advantage of the chaos to bring down the knights around Glori one by one. However, the ever-increasing number of puppets in front of them will soon swallow up the remaining ones, and the Snow King Knights are among them. Another way is to take advantage of the darkness of the night to give Glori a look behind his back. However, an open-board duel is what Haussmann is looking forward to.
"You've got to watch your back! I can't guarantee that no one else will poke you!" Hausman couldn't help but remind Glori in order to save a piece of glory. Then, with his back to Glori, he swung his greatsword at the surrounding golems.
"Fangs Prison!"
"Dragonfire!"
Glori turned around and saw Hausman magically trapped in the Ground Stab Prison and made up a sword wave. Before the puppets in the prison could turn into scattered ashes, Glori waved at the knights who were approaching the woods to the north.
"Evacuate?" everyone reads
A little surprised, Walker glanced at the five knights who had been following him to the left and right. Every knight looked back at Walker with blank eyes. As a result, Walker remembered that these knights around him were some people who were more iron with him in terms of relationship. Whether to get out of here first, Walker was hesitating. Moreover, Walker knew that Haussmann would not be able to renounce the Covenant.
If Glori cooperates with the Snow King Knights to clean up the puppets, then Glori will have to be beaten, Walker understands. Actually, Walker can leave Glori behind. After all, Walker and Haussman had a relationship of interest, and if Walker asked Haussman to give him a way out, then the Snow Knights who rushed down from the cliff might make way for Walker to get out of here.
He had long wanted to climb the Soaring Cliff and head all the way west, so Walker took the five Meritorious Knights around him and collided with a dozen or so members of the Snow King Knights who had slid down the cliff.
"Walker?" a Snow King knight was about to swing his sword, but recognized Walker's face.
"It was indeed me. I don't think you're going to kill them all, are you?" Walker was so familiar that Walker had to whisper and look around. As if, Walker feared that another pair of hidden ears could hear. For a moment, Walker felt like he saw his past self.
Walker was not convinced that he had run away from the siege of some manor owner's thugs, and had to hand over his pockets full of gold and silver. At that time, in order to comfort himself, Walker had to recall the "benevolent admonition" of the leader of the Rune Church.
"What a good sect leader that is!"
Walker praised the leader of the Rune Church in his heart. At the time of the Rune Church, Walker had not yet grown up and was completely taken in. Because of the acceptance of the Rune Church, Walker became a home. "If you want to live well, you have to rely on yourself. Walker never forgot that.
In the beginning, Walker was very active in the Rune Church. Walker listened to the "true teachings" of the Rune Sect Master, collected money through his own hands, and made himself a place in the church. Later, Walker was recognized by the Rune Master for his "righteous and bright" efforts.
Armed with a bronze necklace from the Rune Master, Walker became more and more popular among older believers. Gradually, Walker became convinced of the guidance of the leader of the Rune Church and became a "gibbon" looking for riches. However, he also remembered what the manor thugs called him.
"Thief!"
Now, in his heart, Walker laughs at what the thugs call thieves. However, he found that it was linked to certain experiences that had happened in the past. At this moment, Walker felt in his heart as he did when he left the Rune Church, uneasy because he knew what he had done.
Turning around and glancing at Glori and the others under the rock, Walker sighed and shook his head. Walker thought that by shaking his body, he would be able to keep his head cool and rub shoulders with the Snow King Knights without hesitation.
In the next second, Walker regretted it. The trees below were lit by torches, and Walker found himself and the knights around him being illuminated by the flickering flames.
Although he couldn't see Glori's eyes clearly, Walker had to be worried. "Come with me!, we'll have to pull the brothers down there!" he shouted, dragging the rider to him and sliding down.
"Walker, why are you back?"
In fact, Glori saw Walker climb the slope with the people, and he also saw Walker talking to the snow knights on the mountain. In order not to cause more trouble, Glori was not going to ask what had just happened. He added: "Walker, have you seen Adonis and Boris up there?"
"No! God knows where they went!"
Walker's face turned pale, and he felt uncomfortable on his face, so he simply rubbed his face with his arm. Thinking that the sting in his face had been driven away, Walker jumped off the rock a meter above the flat ground.
"You take someone with you to look after Lord Xavier. When it was time to evacuate, I found Susan and the others by the way. ”
Facing the fir grove on fire to the north, Glori turned around after repeated admonitions. Running to the northwest, Glori found the three Meritorious Knights and the eight Snow King Knights who had been scattered.
"Where's Hausman? Isn't he with you?"
Glori looked around, and in addition to the burning tree, it was a puppet that had fallen and stood up. Thankfully, Glori didn't find any members of the Meritorious Knight or the Snow King's Knight down. Although some people were injured, they were fine. The number of people was counted, and in order to catch up with the evacuated team, Glori never stopped the team.
After looking around, Glori retreated in a northwesterly direction. Along the way, Glori spotted three Snow Knights hiding in the trees, but never found Hausman's main team.
Defending themselves against the puppets that caught up with them, they climbed until dawn, when Glori and the lone man reached the top of the Soaring Cliff. When he saw the red light on the rocky floor, Glori learned the whereabouts of Adonis and Boris. Glancing at the light reflected on the ground, Glori walked cautiously.
In front of Glori's eyes, some of the golems have become ice sculptures with the fleeing spirits because of the cold. However, Glori also saw several Snow King knights, some holding swords, some bent over, all turned into crystal sculptures.
Just a few distances to the west, Glori heard a respectful voice.
"Captain!"
