Chapter 17: Vigilance

Silently, an unexpected battle gradually came to an end.

With a knight who had activated the seed of life present, the outcome of the battle was sealed the moment the two bloodthirsty orcs fell.

Feeling the fall of their companions one by one, the eyes of the orcs showed a desperate light, and seeing that the current situation not only did not collapse, but inspired their own ferocity, and sent a mortal impact to the surrounding team, bringing great losses to the soldiers led by Flal.

By the time this battle was over, there were few fighters left who could still stand up at this point.

In any case, this group of orcs is indeed very powerful, equivalent to all the combat power of a small tribe, and there are three bloodthirsty orcs among them, and it is extremely difficult to win.

A large number of warriors fell to the ground, and most of the survivors were powerful midshipmen.

These men came from noble backgrounds, were equipped with the best armor and weapons, and were physically stronger than the average warrior, and it was a matter of course that they survived to the end.

Looking at the scene around him, Flal was silent for a while, and then gradually raised his head and looked to the other side, with a fierce light in his eyes.

That's the direction where Adil is located.

In the past, if it weren't for Adil desperately dragging the bloodthirsty orc, maybe the result would be completely different in the end, even with the strength of Flal, once he was surrounded by a large number of orc warriors in the end, he could only leave the large army alone.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly and sighed secretly in his heart.

The reason in his heart told him that Adil had probably met with misfortune at this time, but the bloodthirsty orc had not returned.

This gave him a little more anticipation in his heart, and he strode forward with the sword in his hand.

However, after walking some distance, when he found Adil after searching for traces of his battle with the bloodthirsty orcs, he was stunned by the situation in front of him.

On the earth, blood stained the surrounding land red, which had dried up by this time.

A tall orc corpse lay there quietly, and on one side of the corpse, Adiel's figure stood silently, his legs blurred with flesh and blood, and he looked badly injured.

Looking at this scene, Flal couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his originally serious expression could no longer be maintained: "You!"

He looked at Adil in a daze, and only reacted after a long time, with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Have you activated the Life Seed?"

Hearing the sound in the distance, Adil raised his head a little weakly, looking a little pale because of the excessive blood loss.

He didn't speak, but on his body, a little life energy slowly emerged, spreading that familiar breath out.

Looking at his appearance, feeling the unique breath of the seed of life, Ralarse froze.

The battlefield behind him was quickly cleared.

It's still wild, and there are too many beasts. There's just been a big battle here, and the smell of blood is likely to lure these beasts in.

They stripped off the armor and weapons of the warriors and collected them. The seriously injured were placed on horse-drawn carts that had previously been used to transport food and other materials, and Adil was among them.

Their movements were fast, and in just about half an hour, the group set off again, heading back to the place where they had returned.

After they left, on the battlefield behind them, several strange figures appeared.

They were all wearing pale green standard clothes, which were more suitable for hiding in the mountains, and they appeared at this time, quietly looking at the direction in which Adil and the others had left in the distance.

"I thought it was just an ordinary knight who came this time, but I didn't expect that this time it turned out to be Flal, who is known as the mad lion. A tall, but emaciated man looked into the distance and said, the expression on his face was very indifferent: "When you meet Flal and the guards he leads, this group of orcs can be regarded as unjustly dead." ”

"Definitely. The other person showed a helpless expression on his face: "Three hundred intact orc warriors, plus three bloodthirsty orcs, if it is the other two knights, no matter who it is, it is enough to deal with." ”

"But who knew that this time Flal, the head of the guard, would actually go out in person, with his strength, even if he didn't bring that elite guard, there would definitely be no way to keep him this time. ”

"His strength, I'm afraid it's not far from the big knight, unless the regimental commander personally goes out, otherwise it is impossible for these orcs to leave him behind. The thin man shook his head, and there was a fanatical confidence in his eyes when he spoke of the regimental commander.

"Actually... If we had just made a move, we wouldn't have been able to keep him. On the side, a tall, expressionless woman said with a little frown.

"It's too risky. A voice on the side responded: "Don't look at him looking weak now, but in fact, he must have activated the life seed several times, and once it bursts out, although it is certainly not our opponent, it is impossible for us to keep him, and then things will be in trouble." ”

"Encountering an orc warrior equivalent to an entire tribe can barely be said to be an accident. But if a few hostile knights appeared immediately after the orcs, then a fool would be able to see that there was a problem, let alone an old fox like Flal. ”

"If we make him suspicious, our arrangement may be exposed, adding to the danger out of thin air. ”

"It's a pity!" the woman frowned before she said after a long time.

··········

On the other side, lying quietly in the carriage, Adil felt that something was wrong.

"Just now, someone was watching from the sidelines. The thought crossed his mind.

"Chip, transmit the image just now. Adil ordered the chip in his head.

The next moment, a large amount of information poured into his mind, and the previous scene slowly regressed like a movie, constantly replaying in his mind.

An awkward feeling came over him, and in the replayed images, Adil seemed to faintly see several figures, flashing from his perspective at some point.

The speed of those people was very fast, far exceeding the speed of the trainee knight, and they were wearing cover clothing, if it weren't for the reminder of the chip, under normal circumstances, Adil would definitely not be able to detect anything abnormal.

"After testing and comparison, the target speed exceeds the limit of the human body, and 78.4% may be knight-level!"

"All knight-level?" the corners of Adier's mouth twitched, and he glanced up at the Flal Knight in front of him, and suddenly felt a little scared in his heart.

"Before, if I didn't choose to stay, what would be the consequences of leaving directly?" he thought of this question in his mind.

Being able to meet in the wilderness, and have been hiding and watching them kill the orcs, this group of people is obviously friend or foe, maybe even the group of orcs is something made by the other party.

Speculating on this group of people with the greatest malice, maybe this group of people was originally ambushing them here, in order to catch them all in order to avoid any fish that slipped through the net.

As for why they broke through, Adil estimated that the other party had misestimated the strength of the Flal Knights, and finally found that there was no way to leave them all, so he hid on the side and did not appear.

"This place can't stay any longer, we must get back to the castle as soon as possible!"

Although it is not clear what the other party's purpose is, it is an instinctive sense of crisis that makes Adil make this decision in his heart.

The excuse to go back is ready-made. Adil was now seriously injured and should have returned to the castle to recuperate.

And it was customary for every new knight in the region to return to the castle and be summoned by Count Boria himself to confer the title of knight.

Until then, though, Adil must still follow the party and return to the camp from which he came.

On the way, during breaks, Flal occasionally conversed with Adil and told him about his experience and tactics, and seemed to be quite friendly to him.

This is due to a change in status.

Adil has now activated the Life Seed and became a knight at the age of thirteen, almost breaking the promotion record in this area, and his future is bright.

Not to mention, Adil had fought to the death to help him stop the enemy before.

The combination of these two factors is the real reason for the change in the other party's attitude.

For this kind of friendly relationship, Adil will certainly not refuse.

He showed his respect and studious very appropriately, which pleased the always serious, courteous and detail-oriented Flar, and could not help but appreciate him even more.

A few days later, after returning to his previous camp, Adil duly expressed his desire to return to the castle to recuperate.

Flal did not object, but agreed that he should return to the castle to meet Count Polya first, and was ready to transport Adil back with some of the wounded.

In order to ensure the safety of Adier, he also specially sent an extra team of elite soldiers to ensure that he would not be disturbed by robbers and wild beasts on the way.

··············

After a while, after a long journey, the familiar castle was in sight.

Feeling the cheers of excitement coming from all around him, Adil quietly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

In the distance, the castle was as tall and sturdy as ever, and on top of it, groups of soldiers with weapons in their hands were stationed in it.

And in the distance of him, a group of cavalry came from afar, escorting them, the wounded, forward.

"It's back..." Looking at the familiar places around him, Adil suddenly felt such a sigh in his heart.

The last time he returned to the castle, he seemed to have been transported back as a wounded, and coincidentally, the opponents who caused him two serious injuries were all orcs.

But this time, because his physical fitness was much stronger and he activated the seed of life, Adiel's injuries healed quickly, and he didn't have to be helped into the castle like last time.

The carriage marched not far from the castle, and Adil refused to be supported by the soldiers on his side, and walked down from the carriage himself, following the leader's footsteps to the front, and entered the familiar castle.
