Chapter 0963 - Sad Katie
The city of Zola.
It was a medium-sized city of 50,000 people, and traded its fish from the nearby Lake Cascarra for transport to all parts of the Zambis Empire via its convenient waterways.
So, when Grim came to the trade route to Zola, he found that it was almost entirely filled with horse-drawn wagons full of catches.
In order to better conceal himself, Grim also used witchcraft to change his appearance slightly.
The striking wizard's robes and equipment were hidden, and he was now wearing a simple set of leather armor and leather pants, a two-handed sword behind his back, and a dusty traveler's cape, like an adventurer traveling from place to place.
As for his appearance, he had also changed slightly, with his long dark red hair and black eyes gone, not much different from the inhabitants of the Empire here.
On the way, he stopped a convoy of goods, and with only two Imperial silver coins, Grim became a member of the convoy, and squeezed into a freight wagon full of fresh fish with the coachman Tom Sr., and slowly walked towards the distant city of Zola.
The closer you get to Zola, the more convoys and pedestrians there are on the trade routes.
In the midst of the busy traffic, the business travelers and coachmen who passed by each other kept shouting loudly and greeting each other, with a warm and familiar posture.
However, only ten miles away from the city of Zola, there was a sudden thunderous sound of horses' hooves ahead.
Carriages and pedestrians on the trade road ducked to the side of the road, allowing a group of silver-armored knights to rush past on tall horses, kicking up a high pile of dust behind them.
Although the convoy became a little flustered due to the appearance of the silver-armored knights, in the face of the passing knights, none of them complained dissatisfied. Instead, when the other party had disappeared, the convoy returned to the trade route, and the merchants and coachmen began to discuss in a whisper the reason why the knights were in such a hurry.
"It must be because of the strange things that happened there at Lake Cascara...... "Old Tom muttered in a low voice as he waved his whip...... There's such a terrible thing going on there, these paladins will definitely investigate!"
"What's going on in Lake Cascara?" asked Grim, confused.
"Don't you know? Look at you, haven't you just returned from Lake Cascara......? Didn't you see that terrible flint falling from the sky yesterday?" said old Tom with a look of disbelief.
"Oh, you mean the flint! It shouldn't be so strange that there's no need to make such a fuss. Grim replied with a relaxed face.
"It may not be surprising that you are an adventurer, and you have seen a lot from the south to the north, but my old Tom has been in Zora for thirty years, and this is the first time he has seen such a terrible scene. You may not have seen with your own eyes, after the flint fell, half of the lake boiled, and the dead fish and shrimp floating on the surface of the water were densely packed, how scary it looked......" Old Tom was obviously quite a talkative man, and when he talked about yesterday's strange events, he was almost endless, and he had the posture to dig out everything he knew.
Grim was chatting with him with a little bit, but his thoughts drifted to the group of paladins who had just galloped by. The six Rank 1 Black Iron Knights, not even a Tier 2 Silver Knight, couldn't help but make Grim lower his expectations for the Chapel of Light in Zora City.
If the Chapel of Light in Zola City was large enough, Grim wouldn't mind making another big deal here. But if the scale of strength is too small, it is not worth revealing your identity and whereabouts for this.
…………
Natago's mood at the moment is simply terrible!
Although he had been warned many times by the lord before he came, saying that this young fire witch was strange and difficult, he should be a hundred times more careful. However, in the face of a three-to-one situation, Natago was still full of confidence in his trip.
However, his desire to have a pleasant hunt lasted not even half a day before he was overturned by the cruel reality in front of him.
That damn guy ran away in such a swaggering, arrogant way, this ...... Apparently challenging Natagu's endurance.
However, just as he was furious, ready to chase after him openly and recklessly, a short distress message from across the air made Natagou suddenly calm down.
The message was sent by Katie, the mechanical witch who had left alone, and it was even shorter with the words "save me". And after the message was sent, when the three of them tried to contact her, they couldn't get any response.
What happened to Katie Knife Queen?
The three newly landed wizards couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
It stands to reason that with a low-level plane like the Envik plane, a third-order wizard can almost be regarded as rampant here. As long as they don't encounter those terrifying 4th Order, the rest of the 3rd Order Paladins are just a bunch of fake 'Divine Sticks' without the protection of the gods in their eyes!
The so-called paladins seem to have the combat skills of high-level knights, as well as the holy light magic similar to that of a spellcaster, capable of both near and far, and cultivating both things and demons. But in the eyes of wizards, it is a typical 'garbage profession' that is not successful in literature and martial arts.
And the wizards who crossed the border this time are all battle wizards, and all of them have the identity of hunters. With such strength, will he be in danger in this low-level plane?I'm afraid that even if that sword Ji Katie is besieged by multiple third-order paladins, she will be sure to easily fight her way out of the encirclement and escape!
And the other party was able to beat her to the point of panic and cry for help, and then quickly lost, which made the three wizards quickly think of the two famous fourth-order holy knights in this plane.
By the way, there are two fourth-order holy knights in this plane, one is besieging the Witch Tower in the south, and the other is seriously injured and cultivating in the empire. Don't...... Could it be that this holy knight who was recuperating from his wounds was still thinking about it again?
How did they know that in a mountain forest 120 miles to the north, a terrible battle had just ended.
More than half of the paladins who had hurried from the imperial capital had been injured at the moment, and the mountains and forests they were in were also full of messes, with broken ancient trees and gaps of energy cutting through the dirt everywhere.
The terrifying sword, Katie, had her hands and feet cut off and then stabbed into the cliff by a huge sword.
Even though the situation was so down, the fierce Katie still shot out terrifying energy rays from the scarlet mechanical eyes, cutting the surrounding ancient trees and shrubs into pieces, and the eyes were full of devastation.
The fourth-order holy knight who accompanied the team had a simple face and a resolute expression, his short gray hair stood on end, and he was majestic and majestic like a raging lion.
Seeing that the evil witch who had her hands and legs cut off was still so ferocious, this fourth-order holy knight rushed in front of Katie with an arrow, stretched out his right hand, and was not afraid of the other party's red and terrifying energy rays, and poked and bent his two fingers, and gouged out the two half-flesh and half-mechanical strange eyes.
Yes......
Katie opened her mouth and let out a terrible scream, and five or six cracks opened in the back of her body, and several metal tentacles protruded from it, intending to attack the Holy Knight.
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or ......dead," the holy knight snorted coldly, and as soon as he stretched out his big hand, he grabbed several metal tentacles in his right palm like lightning.
With the sudden force, Katie raised her neck and let out an even more piercing and sharp roar. The metal tentacles that connected to her spine were broken one after another, and several large bloody holes were opened in her back. Purple-black blood mixed with a fishy concoction flowed out of it, choking several surrounding paladins to retreat one after another.
However, despite such a terrible blow, Katie still writhed her body to continue to fight back.
The Holy Knight finally got a little impatient, and reached out and quickly struck a few joints in Katie's torso.
Cervical, scapula, sternum, lumbar vertebrae, caudal vertebrae......
This series of critical hits immediately caused the modified metal joints inside Katie's body to be severely dislocated or burst, instantly paralyzing Katie's control over these mechanical parts and flesh tissue.
Katie's body finally went limp and she was powerless to resist anymore!
After restraining the ferocious mechanical witch, the Holy Knight looked around the battlefield and saw the ruined woodland, and then looked at the paladins lying on the ground, and his heart was also shocked and angry.
What shocked was the ferocity and brutality of these foreign invaders......
What was angry was their nonchalant attitude towards the creatures of the Enwick plane......
This Rank 4 Holy Knight Adél Kale is finally completely furious!
All wizards should be damned, and they can't be allowed to continue to exist on the Enwick plane......
The rage triggered the injuries on Ade Kale's body, causing him to cough violently, and in one breath he pulled out a large pool of black blood. In the black blood, some organ fragments and flesh fibers can be faintly seen.
This shows that the serious injuries he sustained in the Witch's Tower have not stabilized, but even show a hint of deterioration.
In order to reduce the casualties of ordinary paladins besieging the Witch Tower, Ade Kale once relied on his great strength to break into the Witch Tower and destroy the interdimensional teleportation array there. And he, under the combined attack of the witches stationed in the tower, suffered a near-devastating blow to his body.
If the Light he possessed wasn't the best at healing and dissolving xenomorph energy, I'm afraid Ader Kale wouldn't have been able to escape the tower alive.
Although he escaped alive, the terrible injuries on his body tormented him deeply.
As a last resort, Ad Kale had no choice but to leave the battlefield and return to the imperial capital to meditate and recuperate, using the sacred space of the Holy Light Cathedral to heal his injuries.
Unfortunately, just as his injuries were healing, the all-powerful Great Light sent the strongest warning message to his ears. According to the Light, new enemies will invade the north of the Empire, and their arrival will lead to a terrible Paladin Catastrophe!
It was because of this terrible foreboding that Ader Kalai led a group of paladins to the north of the empire by starry night. To save time, they even traversed the Aveli Mountains, Starfall Canyon, and Wild Jungle.
I don't know if it was the correct guidance of the Holy Light, or the bad luck of the enemy, but their team actually encountered this lone otherworldly witch while climbing the Falling Hammer Mountain.
So, after a bloody battle, this ferocious half-human, half-mechanical witch was taken down by the injured fourth-order holy knight Ade Kalai after taking down nearly half of the paladins.
