Chapter 987: Hillmanya's Hatred

"Captain Amrudina."

"Your Royal Highness, I can look forward to you."

Walking into the slightly dim and sullen tent, Amludina stood up with a haggard look on her face, as if she had smiled for the first time since birth, and pulled a stiff arc from the corners of her mouth.

If Elder Mokani looked like she hadn't slept for three days and three nights, Amludina looked like a general who had been harassed by the enemy's tactics and had not slept well for a month, and the general situation was indeed like this, her long pale ponytail full of intellect and vitality had now become a mess, and it looked like a bundle of hemp rope twisted together.

In addition to Amludina, there are more than ten elf men and women in the tent, all of whom exude a good momentum, but like Amludina, they seem to be a little mentally withered, these should be the squadron leaders under Amludina, seeing that the Hillanya I know is also among them, I can't help but think.

"And Lord Carusie, the arrival of the two of you has really helped us a lot."

"Sorry, we didn't make it in time."

"No, no, no, it's all my fault for speaking of this qiē, it's because I have been hesitant about His Royal Highness the Prince's construction, and finally led to such a result."

Amludina looked ashamed, in fact, since the first team disappeared, she was sensitively aware of the sense of crisis, originally at this time, she should have decisively asked for help, although even if she did it immediately, it was only a day or two in advance to send a message for help, and it was not in time at all, because the time interval between the disappearance of the second and third teams was extremely short, and it didn't take long for her to convey the news of the disappearance of the first team and the order to take strict precautions, and things happened one after another.

The time when the fourth squad disappeared was a little longer than the interval between the previous three times, but it happened when the battle line was shrinking, and the enemy probably seized the opportunity to sneak attack when his side showed a little laxity when the defense line was shrinking, even if His Royal Highness the Prince had already rushed over at that time, he might not be able to save it.

It's just that these facts can't make Amrudina excuse herself, no matter what the objective facts are, subjectively as the captain she did make a wrong move, for a soldier, this is already an unforgivable thing, because of the mention from His Royal Highness the Prince, because of the subconscious arrogance in the heart of the elves, she naively had a kind of "Maybe it's just a little accident, I should look at the situation and then say, maybe the problem will be solved soon, You can't rely too much on His Royal Highness the Prince and the Human Alliance".

"I don't think there's any point in holding accountable now." Jeluka, who was standing behind her, interjected in a very cold voice.

"That's right, Captain Amrudina, can you tell me more about the current situation and layout."

"That's natural, Your Royal Highness, please."

With that, under Amrudina's instructions, we gathered around the map in the center of the table, and Amludina herself began to explain.

"There is no pattern to the location of the disappearance of the four squads, from which we cannot guess the enemy's area of activity, and even so far, we have not even seen whether the enemy exists or what he looks like."

"In this way, in fact, there is no clue and it is a clue, at least, if this enemy really exists, then the strength is at least the domain level, and it is probably not the primary level, otherwise it will be difficult to do this kind of process."

"We think so too, this time the enemy is unexpectedly strong, and now the only people who can stop the other party are His Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Carlujie."

As she spoke, Amludina stared at us with an eager gaze, of course, the implied meaning was also a kind of euphemistic temptation, after all, it was very likely that the enemy we were facing had domain strength, and no matter the strength and mind that were revealed, it didn't seem to be an ordinary domain-level enemy, if even the two of you didn't feel sure, I could only ask the Great Elder for support.

"Captain Amrudina, please rest assured, if it's only at the realm level, I shouldn't have any problem asking myself, even if I can't win, I will definitely not lose, of course, if the other party is at the world power level, then I have to consider leaving a suicide note first."

"If the enemy has the strength of the world's power, then His Royal Highness will no longer be able to see us."

I probably felt a sense of relief because of my confident reply. Amludina smiled heartily, albeit only for a moment.

"Without further ado, Captain Amludina, I will trouble you to continue to defend here, and you don't have to be too sad and blame yourself, you are the captain, the commander of the whole team, if you don't cheer up well, the other soldiers will be lost."

"Thank you, Your Highness, I see." Amrudina Lu nodded gratefully.

"On my side, let's try to search the nearby area, I don't know the enemy's range of movement, so I just have too much hope."

"By the way, Your Royal Highness."

Just as I was deciding, Amludina suddenly spoke.

"If Your Highness has no purpose, can you go to the point where the four squads disappeared to search, maybe there will be any clues."

"Haven't you searched for these four points?"

"Nope."

Amludina shook her head bitterly: "When the first team disappeared, I did order the nearby team to investigate and search, but it didn't take long for the second missing team to lose contact, and I felt bad at that time, so I ordered to stop the search, take precautions, and put my own safety first, but even so, it didn't take long for the third team to lose contact." ”

"I see, I know, leave it to me."

Nodding suddenly, I originally thought that Amludina was blindfolded by a series of messages, but I didn't expect the situation to be so urgent, and it was already commendable that she could keep a cool head and continue to make decisions.

"Your Royal Highness, Captain Amrudina, please let me follow along, I am familiar with the terrain."

At this time, Hillmanya suddenly stood up from the crowd and said with a resolute gaze.

"Your Royal Highness, look ......," Amludina looked at me inquiringly.

"It's better this way, I'll trouble you, Squadron Leader Hillmanya."

"Yes, it's my pleasure."

Hillmanya bowed upright, was it my delusion? I noticed that her eyes didn't look very bright when she spoke, and her whole person was shrouded in a dark tone that made her feel heavy.

"I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will not take care of me in case of an enemy, please don't take care of me, just do what you think, with my strength, it is just a burden in front of the two and the enemy."

Stepping out of the tent, Hillmanya said.

From those indifferent pupils without the slightest emotion, I found that the mood when she said this sentence was not modest or some kind of Cheng dù consciousness, but more like a ...... Thoughts of self-abandonment.

"The Third Missing Squad; Subordinate to the squadron in charge of Hillmanya. ”

Presumably seeing my look of distress and confusion at such a Hillmanya, Jeluka whispered in my ear.

I see.

It dawned on me that Hillmanya's profession was a druid, a nature-loving druid, and that she was the only one left after the victory in the battle I had with the Knight of Hell, silently praying for the vast expanse of woods that had been damaged in the midst of the battle, especially by my final blow.

Of course, after listening, I can't help but be in awe of Hillmanya, as a druid, but I have never considered the feelings and lives of these flowers and trees, and even gradually felt numb to the disappearance of the same kind of life that has nothing to do with me, and gradually felt numb, like Hillmanya, these people are the real druids, only they can feel the true druid heart, and themselves, in the final analysis, are just relying on inexplicable crossings and inexplicable power to get to the present, just like the outburst, Without these things, we may not even be able to survive as civilians.

Now, as the squadron leader, Hillmanya has suffered the disappearance of her own team, and her life is in danger, you can imagine her current mood.

"The leader of the sixteenth squadron who lost the news, I heard that he has grown up with Hillmanya's childhood sweetheart since he was a child, and he is planning to get married in the next few years."

As a result, I had not yet come out of sympathy, and the all-pervasive and omniscient intelligence chief, Jeluka, added another sentence in my ear.

“……”

Really, at this moment, I didn't know what to say, what expression to show, the gray tone, the pair of pupils that lost color, after learning the truth, I deeply felt the anger and sadness contained in it.

"Captain Hillmanya."

After a long pause, I sighed and patted Hillmanya on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll get revenge on you."

At this time, what to say not to take a life and say that there is hope and other comforts, for Hillanya are floating clouds, maybe they will be hated, because it is not the first time I have encountered Hillmanya's situation, the dark continent that has been devastated by the hell clan is happening all the time, and there are many people who are more miserable than Hillmanya, compared to the scenes experienced in more than eight years of travel, I sigh at the fragility of the elves, and at the same time envy how they can maintain a fragile and kind heart.

Sometimes, being weak is also a kind of happiness, and being strong often means going through many hardships, and for us adventurers, being strong is not always a compliment, because it has another meaning - numbness.

"Yes, thank you, Your Royal Highness, your great kindness, Hilmanya will never forget, if His Royal Highness can avenge those dead brothers, if this time I can survive for a long time, then even if I abandon the glory of the elves, I am willing to become a knight of His Highness."

There was a gleam in Hilmanya's eyes, but alas, it was a color called revenge, hatred, and self-depravity, not the druid Hillmanya I knew, who could grieve the death of a small flower by the side of the road.

"What stupid words, don't forget who I am, Artoria's husband, the prince of the elves, live well, contribute your strength to the elves, and of course, take care of yourself, this is the prince's order."

"Yes."

Hillmanya's gaze flickered slightly, and it seemed that she had not completely closed herself off, given up on herself, and perhaps time would be able to erase this qiē sadness.

"Let's go, find the murderer sooner, to be honest, I'd like to skin that guy now."

Led by Hillmanya, three black shadows leaped between the towering dense trees, as swift as the ghosts of the jungle.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is really gentle."

Led by Hillmanya, Geluka and I walked behind, and from the opposite side came the indifferent voice of the yellow maid.

"Where am I offending you again, I don't understand Jieluka's fault-finding behavior."

"At the end of the first part of the Duke of Beasts series, the duke's final fate was driven by a girl to kick a horse to death." Jerouka said with a huff.

“……”

Hey...... Huh? Are you talking about me, is this yellow maid talking about me? Where did I offend her, I guess it was because I spewed my anger on the enemy?

Ignoring Jeroka's inexplicable targeted complaints, it took more than an hour for Hillanya to come to the area where the second team had recently disappeared.

"Probably the area is here, the specific location, you have to search carefully to find it, please wait a while, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Saying this, Hilmanya, who was completely immersed in her work, jumped down and kept jumping back and forth in the area, closing her eyes from time to time, listening to her pointed elven ears, and it felt as if Hilmanya was becoming one with the surrounding flowers and trees, listening to the voices of these beings.

This is the elven druid, I can't help but sigh deeply and admire, compared to the druid of the alliance, it is too professional, rather than this, the druid of the elven race became a druid in order to implement the spirit of the druid, and the druid of the alliance, the main purpose is to obtain the strength to resist the hell clan, and secondly, the spirit of the druid will be taken into account, there is a big difference between the two in essence, which is also the reason why the elven druids - especially the elven druids despise humans, in their eyes, These human druids are simply blaspheming the profession.

"Looks like we've started with interpolation, and we'll leave the search to Hillmanya."

Seeing Hillmanya's professionalism, I had the feeling that if I went up to help, I might become a burden, so I just said that.

But that doesn't mean we're running out of things.

"I'll scout around and see if I can find any trace of the enemy, and you can stay here and watch Hillmanya lest she be attacked by the enemy, okay?" Jeroka. ”

This is the first time I have asked her in such a serious, formal tone, although the strength is indeed very strong, and with the full set of artifact sets inherited from the Twelve Knights, Jeluka's strength is enough to resist the primary enemies of the pseudo-realm, and even the mid-level and high-level enemies may be able to defend it, and it is at least enough time for me to rush over from a great distance.

However, this guy has less combat experience than me, in short, it is very, very pitiful, and it seems that there is a vulnerable side hidden, so even if he reaches the world power realm one day, he is not a fool who can relax and leave him alone in a place where the enemy may appear at any time.

Instead of answering me directly, she pulled out her Sacha's sword, that is, the sword of the rising sun, and slammed it on the ground, the powerful force made the ground around her tremble as if there was a ten-magnitude earthquake, without any words, but Jeluka's movements fully showed her inner confidence.

"Don't worry, as the sex toy of the protagonist Duke of Beasts, it will not be so lightly sacrificed, at least the author will have to drag another 1.8 million words, and the role of this character will be completely squeezed out before considering what kind of poignant way to make it sacrifice."

I was applauded just now for the calmness, coldness and self-confidence that this yellow maid suddenly displayed, but I heard such a sentence in my ears, which made me spurt out a mouthful of old blood, what kind of character does a girl have to say such a thing?

After saying this, Jeluka had a half-three non-attribute face, holding a giant sword in one hand, and making a V-shaped victory gesture with the other hand straight towards me.

“……”

"It really doesn't matter? Don't be reckless. ”

Having just walked some distance, I turned around with some relief and reminded again.

"Long-winded, if you continue like this, you will only be called by others as Your Highness the Contraceptive Pill."

Jerouka brandished the Sword of the Rising Sun and said majestically.

No...... How do you have to build a relationship to associate verbose with birth control pills, you are the only one who will call it that.

"That...... Don't put on your gear? ”

I didn't go far, I turned around again, looking at Jieluka from a distance, with a hint of worry, but also with a hint of selfishness, and of course, the most important thing was the kind Jianyidao.

To be honest, I'm still curious to know what the Twelve Knights armor of Jeluka's inheritance is.

"Beware of being kicked to death by a horse."

turned out to be preached so viciously, saying that just now it was really talking about me, saying that I was not wrong, bastard

I turned my head around and swept off into the distance.

In order to prevent accidents, as early as when I came out of the main city of the elves, I have been keeping the moon wolf transformed, although the consumption will be a little larger, but it is better than being suddenly attacked by an enemy who may be hiding in the shadows, so that it is too late to transform, and it is better to say goodbye to this world with the same death as a supporting role.

After sweeping into the distance, quietly suspended in mid-air, I began to close my eyes and silently released the pseudo-realm energy shield, which continued to expand, covering more and more areas inside.

Using the spiritual power detection skills of the Moon Wolf Pseudo Domain, I am confident that I can be called a qualified searcher, especially in terms of capturing breath, and the sensitive and abnormal spiritual power can always play a powerful role.

The pseudo-realm slowly expanded, spread out, and with it, it was like an infrared scan-like spiritual power reconnaissance, not sparing an inch of space, following the ever-expanding energy shield one by one to scan the past, the place covered by the pseudo-realm, the terrain of the entire area, and even the shape of each big tree, the insects in the hidden trunk, every stone on the ground, and the shape of every grain of soil, all emerged and carved out in the brain.

Every breath contained in the air was also quietly analyzed by the spiritual power, looking for the abnormal breath inside.

After a long time, I opened my eyes and ended my search.

I don't know if it's because the battle didn't take place in the area I'm searching for, or because it's been days, and all signs have been worn out by time, but I don't feel anything unusual.

Actually, I still have a little idea, that is, when I let go of my body and mind and searched with all my heart, if the enemy is nearby, maybe I won't let go of this good opportunity for a sneak attack, that is to say, sacrifice myself to feed the tiger and lure the snake out of the hole, but unfortunately although the small abacus crackled, the next silence completely wasted my good acting skills, obviously we are all willing to sacrifice the hue, and make the clothes half-dissolved by Ren Jun, and the other party did not move.

Maybe it's not around.

I let out a frustrated sigh and jumped to the next search spot.

Half an afternoon passed, and I searched the area marked by Amludina but found nothing.

While lamenting that the constitution of the troublesome people was not good, I hurried back, and in the distance I saw Jeluka holding the sword of the rising sun, still standing there as I had seen when I left, her eyes unblinking, her expression serious, her pretty face tight, as if the enemy would come out of the ground, vigilant of the movements around her.

"Jeroka, I'm back."

Seeing the little hen like a nest guard Jeluka, I secretly snickered and said hello, but unexpectedly, this sound seemed to break her tense nerves, and subconsciously, "Wow" exclaimed, and waved the sword of the rising sun in her hand on alert.

“……”

Can such a guy really be reliable?

While easily dodging the sword light that Jeluka wielded indiscriminately, I was secretly distant in my heart.

"His Royal Highness is really rude and sneaks in from behind, but what only a sinister and despicable assassin would do, even if he wants to justify his sudden beastly nature and wants to attack the intimate girl with his body position behind him, it is too much."

After calming down, Jieluka disguised her dissatisfaction.

“……”

No, I don't think the latter kind of yellow joke can be called a justification at all, and with this reason, it is better to directly admit that he is the assassin who wants to sneak attack from behind.

Then again, is this guy really qualified to say such a thing? Who is the guy who has quietly approached me from behind and done all kinds of bad behaviors such as depriving me of the pleasure of testing? Who the hell are you talking bastard

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from Hillmanya's side in the distance.

What's going on?

I glanced at Jeluka and hurried over, it was definitely not a sneak attack by the enemy, even if it was a domain-level master, he couldn't do anything to Hillmanya under the noses of me and Jeluka, could it be that he found something?

The figure flickered, and in between breaths, we were already at Hillmanya's side.

"What's wrong, any clues?"

Seeing that Hillmanya was crouching in the middle of a small jungle, her eyes closed and her brow furrowed, I couldn't help but ask urgently.

Jero pulled me and shook her head, signaling me not to rush and wait for news so that Hillmanya could make the most of her druid communication skills.

After a few moments, Hillmanya opened her beautiful pale red eyes and stared at the place with a solemn expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, the second squad should be here to see it."

"Oh?"

I curiously leaned in, looked left and right, but I couldn't see a clue at all, it was clearly an ordinary small bush.

"The plants in the forest, especially the bushes, grow very fast, and in a few days they can grow one piece and cover up all the traces."

Hilmanya patiently explained to me with a curious expression.

"So how do you see that?"

"My eyes, and these lovely plants, are the ones they tell me."

Hillmanya said silently, she was supposed to show this extraordinary thing in front of my Royal Highness the Prince, but her face was quite calm and cold, as if it was a trivial matter, it seemed that she, who was full of anger and determination to die, at least before taking revenge, would not think about anything else.

"Look, Your Royal Highness, although there don't seem to be any clues, isn't there something abrupt about comparing this jungle with other jungles nearby?"

"Really?"

I searched around, compared it with the scenery around me, and I didn't know if it was induced by Hillmanya's language, and suddenly I felt that it was really different, a little different, but how different it was and I couldn't say why.

"Based on this, communicate well with these plants, you can get the clues you want, as for how to get information from these plants, His Royal Highness the Prince is also a druid, so I won't be ugly."

"Haha, that's ...... that"

At the teasing gaze of Jeroka, I laughed dryly, Hilmanya, I really want you to "make a fool" a little bit now......

Tonight, a boss won the bid for a treat, and went out to socialize, huhu, and then saw the managers and bosses gambling after dinner, a round down is tens of thousands of wins and losses, stacks of money on the table is so spectacular, and I also feel that this world is really a lot of classes, however, Xiao Qi I really still feel that I am the happiest to be a dead house that struggles for 500 yuan every day, and then take advantage of their crazy time to secretly run home to code words, hum~~
