Chapter 198: The Fate of Reincarnation (22)

www.mpzw.com) First of all, I wish you all a happy holiday.
Then, on this frantic day, I was forced to go on a blind date again, and I had the urge to go to the newspaper, so I came and grabbed me.
……
"This way. ”
Covered by a magical canopy, dimly lit and identical, dry and silent land, Loria, who led the way, corrected her direction from time to time, she had already memorized the patrol route map of the Scarlet Crusaders, and because of the blessing of the black dragon, she was able to easily distinguish the direction in the wilderness.
"They may have been delayed by some trivial matter......
Anne, who was a little nervous, said something that even she didn't believe, and she naturally knew that if it weren't for the very strict situation, the patrol would never dare to change the reserved route and time without permission.
The valley south of the Scarlet Abbey was also plagued by the plague of the undead, but the area that was in fact under the control of the Scarlet Crusaders was rarely seen by the Scourge or the Forsaken on a daily basis - the dense patrols even cleaned up the animals that had been infected by the plague and gone berserk.
"Eighty percent of them are the good deeds of the weirdos who will be resurrected. ”
Alice had her own opinion, and she pouted, unwilling to pay attention to the adventurers, because they couldn't kill them anyway...... If Loria hadn't come with her, Alice would never have wanted to do something that seemed pointless to her, beating up the adventurer.
Loria, who was at the front, held Ahri with one hand and said nothing, she subconsciously tugged at the fur of the big fox, speculating on the few possibilities that the patrol would be late: the best case scenario would be that the adventurer would be delayed, and she might see a dozen corpses as well...... The kind that really died.
In the war-torn era, no one cared about the lives and deaths of a dozen unknown people in a remote corner of the continent, but at some point, Loria's attitude towards the Scarlet Crusaders underwent a subtle change - not like-minded partners, but a little bit of compatriotism.
Moving forward mechanically, the monotonous and eerie environment made them depressed, and even the adventurers were extinct in the dimly lit valley, except for a few twisted and hideous remains of dead wood. Several times, Anne couldn't even figure out if she was really moving forward, and the whole world seemed to be dead except for her silent friends.
This is the norm in the plague-stricken lands.
It's understandable to be crazy after being in such an environment for a long time...... As Anne thought this, Loria suddenly stopped.
"Have you seen anything?"
Loria asked, and after Anne, Alice, and Ahri all shook their heads in the negative, she frowned and pointed to a hillock and said, "We've been walking for an hour, and this is where the patrol ends its route westward." ”
A dozen people just disappeared.
It is not without precedent that a small team has been annihilated by a large number of Scourge Spirits gathered by chance, or the entire team has defected.
However, these instances never happened so close to the monastery.
"They may have strayed from the route and ran into the undead wandering outside the valley. ”
Renault did not have time to spend on the disappearance of a dozen patrolmen, and after Loria reported the situation to him, he gave this reply, and then gave the order to arrest the squad.
"Why do we want them? Shouldn't we search for them?"
When Loria questioned, Renault suddenly stared at her with scrutinizing eyes, and after a moment he shook his head and sighed, "You are so kind...... Loria, it's time to face up to the things you don't want to see, and to mature quickly. ”
Loria didn't know why, and she seemed inexplicable.
Kindness and naivety? Feeling completely disconnected from these two words, she suddenly became puzzled, and she thought that her uncle should know her very well.
"You know, they're either dead or they've defected. Looking at Loria with a puzzled expression, Renault said in a flat tone: "Wanted and hunting down is the right way to deal with traitors, and if they die, they will not be killed one more time because they are wanted." ”
……
Loria and several other well-connected centurions mentioned the disappearance of the patrol, but their attitude was the same as that of Renault, believing that the centurion had either defected with his men or had strayed into undead territory.
She finally knew that in the eyes of these people who had been in war for a long time, it was inconceivable that they would care about the life and death of more than a dozen people.
"Don't they feel suspicious?" Loria complained to Anne in private, "How could the Scourge that had left the Tirisfal Glade and often been defeated by the Forsaken of the Undercity suddenly gather and silently extinguish an entire squad, when the King of Meow had long been far away from the eastern continent, and had been passive and defensive against the Crusaders, how could they suddenly come here for no reason to trouble a squad?"
"It's really weird. Anne nodded in agreement, and she continued, "There must be something unusual that we don't know about...... What does Alice think?"
"As long as you're happy. Alice, who was shrunk in a chair, said lazily: "Anyway, whoever likes to fight has nothing to do with me." I still have the confidence to protect you two from being caught doing strange things. ”
"I won't be caught doing strange things!", "Because I can't catch pets, do you look down on my strength, damn it!"
The conversation that was originally Yan Sù suddenly turned into a daily bickering routine.
Alice was puzzled why she was besieged when she was clearly expressing kindness.
Loria's mind was visibly unfocused, she was thinking about strange things.
Annie, Blazing.
……
For the next few days, there was no further movement from Loria's fears—no one suddenly disappeared, but the adventurer's strategy was in full swing—and she began to wonder if she was really making a fuss.
A few hours ago, the adventurers finally saw the Scarlet Monastery standing on the mountainside, and they were encouraged to rush into it, but they were once again blocked at the most critical moment.
It was only a matter of time before the defense, which consisted entirely of new recruits, was breached, and no one cared too much, as the Crusaders, who had become more familiar with the adventurers, saw them as mobile sparring, and the Scarlet Crusaders had a considerable number of elites deployed in the monastery, and even if the adventurers rushed in, there was no possibility of penetrating and destroying them.
Standing in the entrance hall, Loria, who had come out for a walk at noon, watched the adventurers in the distance gather and once again attack the monastery.
