Chapter 20: The Lady with a Sigh (20)

Phew, we've finally flown over this canyon.

It was the first time I had put myself in the air, and as I rode this docile flying beast in mid-air and watched the canyon below us, I noticed that just above the canyon, thousands of people were quietly ambushing there.

Sure enough, there was an ambush, and I was very glad for my choice. With the few of us now, once we enter the narrow canyon, then I am afraid that there is only a dead end waiting for us. I can even imagine what the Regent's armies would do to us: when we go into the ravine, we won't be attacked at first, and that's inevitable. Because they're going to open a big pocket for us, so we'll get into it, and when they're about halfway there, they'll quietly close the entrance. I believe that in order to be able to completely cut off our way of life, they will not make any noise in the process of closing the entrance, because if we know that something is wrong behind us, if we are lucky, we can fight our way out and escape before they have completely closed the entrance. Of course, we weren't destined to reach the exit, which should have been sealed off long before they surveyed the terrain and laid it out for us.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel angry at the cold-bloodedness of that regent, and according to Redding, this canyon was an important transportation artery in the west and east of the Danmoth Empire. Although the terrain is very steep, it is a long time to get from the east to the west via other places. Therefore, there are still a lot of people who come and go here. But to make sure we are buried here once and for all, I don't think the Lord Regent will spare any innocent people who pass through here, and the only reason to do so is simply not to let the secrets of this place leak out. These are the people of their country, and they can do such things just for their own benefit, which even we undead people scoff.

However, these are minor problems that those attackers simply don't care about. As long as we enter the canyon, then in the eyes of the Regent, everything is deserved. So once we're in and they're able to seal the entrance, all that's left is how to kill us with just a fraction of our forces.

I am very scared that if it weren't for Reading, we might actually be able to enter this canyon and give the Lord Regent a chance. But that's no longer the case. The fire storm monster that flew in mid-air screamed, and the attackers who were lying in ambush above the canyon were shocked to see that the person they had been waiting for suddenly appeared above them at this moment, and 。。。。。。 Wait, what are those clusters that are as bright as the sun?

It wasn't until dozens of attackers were charred by the fireballs shot by the fire storm that they suddenly realized, oh my God, it turns out that these are fire magic?

Maybe that's not the right thing to call it, but it's something I'm glad to see. Ever since we arrived in the arid lands and Eremaya, bad luck seems to have come one after another. And now that we've finally discovered their plot in a frustration and survived it, I'll be like a firestorm to let the attackers know that we're not easy to mess with. I knew I would be tracked by the attackers, but I didn't care. Because back when I bought these civilian flying beasts, I decided to just use them to pass through this canyon. It is a well-known fact that the Danmos Empire has the most elite air forces in the entire world, and if we fly in the air for a long time, then what awaits us is to be defeated by those military flying beast knights who are much stronger than our civilian flying beasts. As a warrior, I've envisioned countless ways to die, but the most uncomfortable thing for me is undoubtedly falling to my death. I have a fear of heights, which is not something to be ashamed of.

Moreover, the eastern part of the Danmoth Empire, except for this arid land, is almost all lush forests, as long as we can reach the forest smoothly, then we are like a dragon entering the sea, reducing the possibility of them tracking us.

When we reached a dense forest, we landed as fast as we could, and then quickly dived into the dense forest. Without the Flying Beasts, we could only travel on two legs, so this was somewhat uncomfortable for us, especially Reading. For some reason, Reading had been a little dizzy since he landed, and had vomited twice in less than an hour. Reading hadn't eaten much in the past few days, but the two vomits made him vomit all the food in his body. This made Reading look very weak. This is a big problem for us.

"Gott~" again. "This is no longer the territory of the arid lands, the territory of the province of Popon, which is characterized by a particularly dense vegetation. The people who live here are far from being as fierce as the people of the arid lands, we, vomit... ”

The fire storm standing next to Reading was unfortunately stained with some of Reading's residual vomit, and he jumped away with a bitter face: "Hey, old man, even if you vomit, you have to see the direction clearly." “

Redding's face was already very sallow, and he reluctantly smiled at the fire storm, "Hug, I'm sorry." I don't want that either... Not far ahead, there should be a village, if I can, I want to rest for a while... After saying that, Redding's eyes glared upward, and he actually fainted like this.

Banksy briefly treated Redding, but it didn't seem to work. She shook her head at me, "Reading is in a very bad situation right now. If we want Lord Reading to stay alive, then we need to give him a good rest. “

I frowned, "Is it so serious?"

"Trust me, that's just my best estimate. “

Then we were caught up in a long journey of finding our way.

Although Reading had told us before he fainted that there should be a small settlement not far ahead, which direction were we now? But when Reading, the only one of us who knew the way here, fainted, it was difficult for us to take every step. At this time, I want to go back and ride those flying beasts through here again, but we don't even know how to retreat now. It's really a nerve-wracking thing.

Fortunately, the sky is endless, and the fire storm at the forefront is an acute sub. When this stumped him, he used the easiest way to find a way out. That is, regardless of whether there is an obstacle in front of him, he just goes straight ahead. If you come across a tree that you can't bypass, the Firestorm will scorch the tree in a frenzy and then kick it into ashes. And it did work very well. After about fifteen minutes or so, we finally left the jungle behind. Ahead is a rare open field.

That's right. I looked back at Reading, who was being held by Iron Mountain on his shoulder. I thought this should be our destination soon. Because this is an open field, and the rest of the place is covered with forests. As far as I know, there is only one race on this continent that likes to live in the jungle, and that is the elves. Maybe it was because I became an undead that I lost a lot of my habits as an elf, so when I was in the jungle, I didn't feel any sense of affinity, and I couldn't talk to the spirit of nature anymore, which made me feel very depressed.

A few minutes further on, we were lucky enough to see a hunter who, after a brief moment of consternation, led us to the village with a smile. There was no time to wonder why he welcomed us so much, after all, the most important thing now was for Reading to get a good rest and recuperate. If we can find this place, then anyone else will know about it. Not to mention being the regent of the Snake of the Damos Empire.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Reading finally woke up from his coma. It was a good thing that the hospitable hosts had already prepared a hearty lunch for us. It's just that I'm not in the mood to dine until Reading wakes up. Firestorm looked at the greasy food and Iron Mountain only made some eye contact before gobbling it down, and as for Banksy, she was by Redding's side just like me.

"Ma'am, do you think Lord Reading will be able to hold on?" Banksys was not a small voice, but Reading seemed to have no idea. This was also the case before. That's why Banksy was very worried about Reading.

"I don't know. "I don't care about spreading my hands. Reading is just an ordinary human being. It's even weaker than many humans, and even if it's dead, it's nothing. It's just that if he dies, then there is no point in me continuing to the line of courage. Even if I could get the exact news, I wouldn't have been able to convince the old emperor without Reading.

Banks' eyes looked terrified. "Then you mean that if Lord Reading dies, then the only way left for the Danmoth Empire is to fall?"

I nodded, "When I first saw this old man, I didn't have any hope for this action. Aside from my personal feelings, it doesn't matter to me whether or not the Danmos Empire can hold on. Because in my opinion, the only ones who can really stop those apostles are the Deloma Empire behind the Danmoth Empire and our coalition army, and you?" I smiled disdainfully, "Do you think that the problems in your country are only with the Emperor? maybe, but only a small part. Your country is rotten from the top of your head to your feet. “

"Ma'am, ahem, ma'am. Before Banks could speak, Reading suddenly spoke: "I want to 。。。。。 Our empire is not what you think it is. As long as we can successfully obtain the information we want, then, then I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will still be lost... Knowing the return. “

I winked at Banksy and that was what I wanted. Sure enough, only in this way can this old man who is dedicated to the country sober up. "Yo, you can speak. But you say that this is useless, and if you want to prove me wrong, then hurry up and get better, go and confirm the information yourself, and then bring the information back to your old emperor. Got it?"

Reading nodded with difficulty, and subconsciously touched his stomach: "I'm hungry." ”

Banks and I laughed.

Redding's own recovery speed is actually not very fast, on the contrary, it is more to the credit of Banks. Maybe this so-called divine power really worked, because after an afternoon of healing, Reading was able to walk around again. And after eating, Reading's physical strength also recovered to a certain extent. Now that he's almost recovered, it's imperative that we get out of here as soon as possible. It's just that it's getting late, so I thought we'd better give Reading a good rest.

After daybreak, we quickly got up and hurried, and Reading, who had recovered, left behind some money, and quietly left the humble hut. To our chagrin, though, there were no horses. Fortunately, after the recovery of this living map called Reading, we were able to travel through the dense forest smoothly.

What we didn't know was that we had just left this place early in the morning, and by noon the pursuers sent by the Lord Regent had arrived in this small village of only forty or fifty people.

A man in black knight's armor walked into the hut where we had stayed and picked up the money Redding had left behind. Interestingly. And in his left hand, there is a long knife with blood.

All those who lived here were slaughtered by the man in knight's armor and his men. The deaths of all those who died were horrific. All women, without exception, were sexually abused during their lifetimes, while all adult men had their limbs and heads cut off. The underage children were tied to their feet by boulders and thrown into a small lake not far away.

And the mysterious man who did all this did not show any expression due to the armor. In his opinion, this was just a small punishment for those who dared to save their enemies.
