167 How the old people in the old place are seen

"Undead soldiers? A big team? ”

Because the distance of the illusion mount is very fast, even if Rowling warns at the first time, but with only these few words, even if they have tightened the reins of their horses and stopped, it is already too late. These undead soldiers have appeared in everyone's sight. At the same time, it also means that Xia and his party have also been exposed to the noses of these undead soldiers. As for Lei and his party, the first reaction of these soldiers was to raise the swords and axes in their hands.

Carré glanced at it cursory—there were about fifty of these undead soldiers, all dressed in neat armor and with sharp weapons in their hands, and they didn't seem to be the lowest-ranking rangers of the Scourge Legion. What made Carré even more vigilant was that there was actually a leader on a mount standing among the soldiers. As long as anyone who knows a little about the natural disaster corps knows that natural disasters with command and natural disasters without command are absolutely completely two levels in terms of combat effectiveness.

"Damn...... Going to fight? Carré tightened the reins in his hand, ready to brew a recipe in his heart. Avena, you go back a bit, Rowling, take care of Avena. Shia ......"

Listening to Carré's call, Thea, who already had a tacit understanding, nodded, and held his staff in his hand with his backhand, ready to cooperate with Kare's attack to prepare for the defense of the side.

Just as Carré and the others were tense, the general among the undead clenched his fist and put it on the exposed lips of his helmet, and burst out laughing.

"Slow down! Thea, don't you recognize an old friend? He said loudly as he turned his horse out of the line of soldiers.

The sound is very familiar. Shia, who has a good memory, remembered someone almost immediately. "Alex!?"

She hurried forward. If it's really Alex, it would be nice to avoid unnecessary conflicts. "Alex. Barov, is it really you? ”

Both of them left their camp and moved closer to the middle.

The undead general in front of him had already taken off his helmet. Isn't that smiling Alex or who?

"Thea, long time no see."

"Alex, why are you here?" Xia asked with some confusion.

"This ......," Alex smiled. I was stationed at the Undead Barrier at the junction of the Western Plaguelands and the Tirisfal Glades. However, the situation in the Plaguelands has changed recently, so he has been temporarily transferred here to reinforce and take charge of the security of the area of the Crown Tower. ”

Sia thought roughly in her mind, as if the Forsaken's stronghold, Maris Farm, was not far from the Crown Tower. Therefore, the appearance of Alex is not unreasonable. It's just that the joints in it, Alex doesn't talk about. And she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble by talking about the Forsaken's military base in front of others. So Xia just evaded and asked, "What about Alex." Can you let me and my companions go? We are only going to the Chapel of the Wish of Light as private. May I? ”

Alex smiled knowingly, "Of course. And...... Thea, I'm waiting for you here. ”

"Huh?" Thea was taken aback. Where does Alex start with this?

At this time, people seemed to be old acquaintances, and Rowling, who had temporarily lifted the alarm, had leaned behind Xia. Listened to Alex. Rowling couldn't help but speak: "Waiting for us here?" Why? How did you know we were going to pass through here? ”

Rowling, who Alex asked with interest, glanced at her, and immediately turned her head to explain to Thea, who looked a little strange because she had already guessed something: "Lord Simon came to me last night, and he said that he wanted me to give you a ride. ”

"Sure enough, it's him......" Sia muttered in a voice so low that only she could hear her.

"What? It's Simon again. Alex's voice wasn't loud, but it was just enough for the people around Shia to hear it.

Carré's brow furrowed slightly—generally. Even if dragons come to travel to the mortal world, they rarely get involved in mortal groups. And Simon was able to get a Forsaken General to do his bidding. It can be seen that his status among the forsaken should be very high...... Carré's suspicion of Simon grew even deeper.

And Anvina, listening to Alex's words, seemed to have something else in mind;

Alex ...... know that the more people you travel with in the Plaguelands, the safer it will be. But Thea didn't want to accept Saimen's affection. She didn't think that she would be able to reach the Chapel of Light's Wish safely on her own, so she politely declined, "Alex, I appreciate your willingness to lend a hand. But...... As a soldier of the Forsaken. Do you count as leaving the station without permission? If this is a violation of Her Majesty's military orders, the consequences should be serious. I don't want to hold you accountable for this trivial matter. As long as you can get the way and let us pass, I'm already grateful to you. ”

Thea's refusal stunned Alex for a moment. But he wasn't surprised by Thea's refusal per se, but ...... Thea's reaction was exactly what Simon had expected. Alex admired Simon even more in his heart, but he only smiled on his face: "The matter is not as serious as you think." Shia. In fact. I had a military mission to personally visit the Chapel of the Wish of Light. Escorting you is nothing more than a gesture of my hand. You don't have to worry about it at all - it's just that we're on the way together. ”

Ya seemed to be about to excuse herself, but Alex reached out to stop her from talking. "Yu Gong. I was going to the Chapel of Light's Wishes. You and Mick are also good friends. Even if Lord Simon didn't open his mouth and met you, wouldn't I have sent you there? Lord Simon, he just told me about the approximate time you have passed. You can think of it as a personal favor for you. Don't worry about Simon at all, hahaha...... Shia, do you want to reject your friend's kindness like this? Do you still think I'm friends with Mick? ”

Having said that, Xia has no way to excuse herself. She nodded. "Then, I'll trouble Alex for you. My friends and I just have to follow your team. ”

Without waiting for Alex to say anything, Xia said resolutely: "In this way, it is already very much borrowed from Alex and your light, so you don't need to give us any more convenience." ”

"Okay, do you want to take a break?" Alex asked, after a moment's consideration. "I'm tired from the morning's journey. A little rest won't cost much time. ”

An Weina and the others behind Xia still shook their heads: "It's already troublesome for you, so don't waste any more time because of us." We were in a hurry, and we were mentally prepared. Having said that, after saying that, Xia still gave Vina an apologetic look.

Anvina's apology for Xia was naturally understood, and she glanced back at Xia with disgust, meaning that she was not as squeamish as Xia thought.

Alex smiled at Xia's words, and didn't force Xia's anymore. He turned back to his group and ordered the team to set off for the Chapel of Light's Wish, while he rode to the back of the group, slowly riding side by side with Thea and the others.

In the Plaguelands, the Undead Scourge is sensitive to the breath of the living. However, the Forsaken were obviously not among them, so just a few of the living followed the march of the Brigade of the Forsaken, and the breath of the living was naturally concealed a lot. There is indeed a great guarantee of safety. However, there are pros and cons. The speed of the undead war horses configured by ordinary undead warriors is not as fast as that of illusion horses, so since they fell behind, Xia and the others had to slow down their speed.

Although at the beginning, Anvena and the others were a little wary of Alex, the strange Forsaken General. But the length of the journey and the desolate and boring scenery along the way forced them to find something to talk about. Alex was clearly interested in Thea's new group of companions, so he didn't put on a show, and he didn't know anything about their problems if they didn't involve the Forgotten's secrets. It's just that the focus of the gossip friends in front of them, led by Rowling, is obviously not the military secrets of the forgotten, but obviously on Simon's body.

The first to speak was naturally Miss Rowling, who was both familiar and gossipy. The dim and dilapidated scenery of her journey was almost drowsy on horseback. The curiosity that had been holding back in my stomach for a long time finally couldn't help it. I said...... The...... General Alex,"

"Just call me Alex informally." Alex said politely.

"Okay, Alex." Rowling changed her tune from goodness. "You...... How long have you known that Simon? ”

Alex gave Lynn a strange look. "What do you care about Lord Simon?"

"Because you're also friends with Thea~" Rowling said cheekily. "Thea's suitor, of course we'll have to take care of her. Hey, are there many women around him? Even if it's a dead man, there must not be many people who look as beautiful as him. Isn't it popular? ”

Anvina gave Lynn a curious look, but she didn't intervene to debunk Rowling's gossip. Because Anvena also has some curiosity about Simon in her heart, especially after listening to Xia tell her past, Anvena thinks that Xia should really start a new life to be happier. No one has stipulated that the forgotten are not entitled to pursue their own happiness, are they?

Therefore, Anvina also chimed in: "That's right, talk to us." (To be continued)
