The team of fifteen shepherds, who were too numerous to attract attention, dispersed into five small groups of three, traversed the highland paths, skirted uninhabited forests and lakes, and then turned towards the Ander Ridge.

Luo Lan also joined one of the squads, and if he didn't want to fall out with Ondor on the spot or abandon his plans against Daphne, he would have to make that choice for the time being.

One of his two companions was an old, gray-haired priest named Pola, but he was astonishingly energetic, and in addition to the three swordsmen in charge of melee combat, he actually brought four female prayer masters, and they were of a beprising and charming manner, and at night the old priest's tent began to hear the unbearable voice, and the next day he was still full of energy and radiance, which made people have to admire.

The other priest was about forty years old, a man of slender form, with a clear eye and a steady conversation, and his obedience was much simpler, with two well-behaved female prayer masters and a two-handed heavily armored swordsman, who seemed to know the ups and downs of the future, and remained silent all the way.

Compared to them, Luo Lan was very simple and didn't bring a single servant, which surprised his two companions very much, but they were both sophisticated people, and they didn't mention anything about it to Luo Lan.

In essence, Luo Lan is a lone thief, and he is also a combat priest, he does not need any obedience, more is a burden, and this is well illustrated when the Blood Earthworm Man was attacked, but Luo Lan has to follow some superficial etiquette and rules to avoid too much attention, and even unnecessary suspicion.

But this time he had already made up his mind to retreat when he saw that the situation was wrong, so he didn't care so much anymore, and simply walked alone.

The three men encountered few twists and turns along the way, and by the night of the third day, they had successfully reached the vicinity of a forest that stretched upward, and the terrain had become undulating.

When the bonfire was lit again, the old priest Bora looked at the seemingly endless tall broad-leaved forest in the distance, and although he was very unsophisticated in his private life, he was extremely familiar with the terrain. Along the way, due to his age and breadth of knowledge, he invisibly became the leader of the three. Along the way, when to walk, when to eat, when to rest, he has a reasonable grasp of it.

At this moment, he said slowly: "Passing through this forest, there is Andeling in front of you." ”

There was no sound around, and the words were heard very clearly in my ears.

Fodoli and Luo Lan glanced at each other, they both knew the meaning of this sentence very well in their hearts, if any accident was about to happen, it would be in the past two days.

Whether from the swamp or from the human world, they will always face impending danger.

Bora didn't look at them, but took out a dry cloth and began to wipe his staff, and said with a natural expression: "Fellow believers, we have accepted this task, and I am afraid that there is no turning back. ”

Buddha Duo said helplessly: "I really want to go back, but if I go forward, I may be able to live a few more days." If he couldn't bring back the Cross Banner, Ondor would have taken the opportunity to kill them as well.

They already have no choice.

Luo Lan very much agrees with this sentence, if those thieves Guild killers are just part of the Holy See's plan, then Onduo must be one of the insiders, he doesn't believe that this opportunity to eradicate dissidents will be easily let go by this person, the easiest way is to "accidentally" reveal this news to the swamp clan, then the next outcome is easy to guess.

Bo carefully wiped each side of the staff, and said, "When we get the cross flag back, all this will be solved." His tone was flat and confident, as if it was a surefire thing.

Luo Lan looked at him and said lightly, "What if the cross flag isn't there at all?"

"It's going to be there. Bora said in a highly affirmative tone. He turned and beckoned to the two female prayer takers sitting behind him, and said, "Come here, take off your cloaks." ”

The two seductive prayer masters looked at each other, then took off their cloaks together, their gray hair exposed to the air.

Luo Lan's eyes widened slightly, and he said coldly: "The Minniks of the swamp clan?"

Fodoli reacted quickly, he stood up at once, and clenched the staff in his hand, and the servant behind him also leaned forward with a wary face, staring at Bora tightly.

"Hehe, relax, they're just my slaves," the old fellow pressed down with his hands, signaling them not to be nervous. Then he smiled mysteriously and said, "I want to tell you that the matter of the Bright Cross Banner is real, and it is indeed in the temple of Anderling, because we have already negotiated with the Swamp Clan, hehe, they also don't want to see this war happen." ”

Fodoli put down his staff, but still did not let his guard down, but said, "You?"

Diala nodded and smiled, repeating, "We." ”

Fodori's skeptical look still remained on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "Can you be more exact?"

Bora didn't answer immediately, but smiled at Luo Lan and said, "Pastor Langton, I heard that you once risked your life to save Lord Belil, and she promised you the position of Grand Priest, but in the end, what did you get? Nothing! Who caused it? It's because of the pope's lackeys, we should unite and drive them out of Sedaon together!"

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth slowly showed a smile, he looked at it very carefully, and said, "Are you from the three major dioceses near the Sedaon region?"

The forces of the three dioceses, Mancica, Doao, and Eminac, invaded the territory of Sedaon the most, and this series of actions by the Holy See did the most harm to their interests.

"You have a good eye. Bora looked at Luo Lan seriously, he nodded and admitted, "Yes, I am from the three major dioceses. He said in an accentuated tone: "We also have eyeliner in the Holy See, so after getting accurate information, we have negotiated with the swamp clan to let them return the flag to us, this time we are just going to go through the motions, and when we get the cross flag back, we are already invincible, even if the Holy See wants to find an excuse to deal with us for a while, there is no way to do it." ”

Luo Lan sighed lightly, the swamp clan must have reached some kind of exchange of interests with the three major dioceses.

Bora snorted and said: "The Holy See has done too much, although some of the big lords are controlled by them, but those small lords are still resentful, they don't want to fight this battle, but because of the weak power, they have to temporarily submit to the Holy See, once the situation is reversed, we can drive the Holy See's power out again, and because the major dioceses are definitely unwilling to sit back and watch the Holy See take away this achievement, they will also desperately obstruct it." We had already sent messengers to contact the dioceses, and the chances of a counterattack were very good. ”

Luo Lan knew that Bora just wanted to win himself over when he said so much, and if he didn't agree, he would also turn his face and do it, because he already knew too much.

But it's not that simple, how can the person who laid out the layout behind the scenes not see this?

As if seeing the thoughts in his heart, Bora smiled smugly and said, "By the way, I will tell you another news, this time we hired a few masters from the Mage Guild and the Knight Alliance at a high price, just to prevent the Holy See from attacking us on the road, and we have made complete preparations!"
