Chapter 161: The First Front
The first front, which is not true, is actually a front, because it is actually the kingdom that has put in several large warbands here, constantly moving to fight guerrilla warfare.
The first front of the kingdom in the true sense of the word, as early as the first contact with the outbreak of the devil's calamity, was completely torn to pieces by the brutal army of corpses!
The forest was in ruins, the whole land seemed to have been burned by poisonous fire, and the green vegetation on the ground was gone, and the broken fragments of armor and weapons on the ground told of the evil deeds of war.
There will be no corpses on the ground, and there will be no bones, because for the first line of corps, these are the enemy!
Under the control of the devil, corpses and bones will rise up again and become part of the army of corpses, for which cremation has become the most basic farewell ritual in this area.
Edward's luck was good, on the way from the royal city to the first front, Edward and they did not encounter any large-scale resistance, and the only two times they were chased and killed by flying corpses were also solved in an instant under Edward's hands.
According to Thomas, this was the edge of the Nomiro Forest, but by this time the forest had disappeared, leaving behind a scorched earth after the war.
Edward, cloaked in a gray-black cloak, sat on a large stone blackened by the flames of war, guarding a half-man's tall tin box.
The Nathan airship was hiding above Edward, in the clouds high above.
Edward silently glanced at a purple gem on the tin case, the gem flickering and dimming, blooming with a faint magical light.
This is the Philosopher's Stone signaling for Thomas and a guerrilla wargroup on the First Front, and when the Philosopher's Stone is activated in the First War Zone, the leader of that guerrilla wargroup will get the news and rush to join Thomas.
Edward and the others did not wait long, and not long after, there was a slight tremor in the earth, and Edward turned his head to look, only to see that in the direction of their right, a group of knights riding like land chocobos-like creatures had arrived.
Seeing Thomas and his party on the big rock, the chocobo knight immediately sped up his march again, and soon they came to Edward and the others.
A knight dressed in a shabby iron-gray armor covered with sword scars that looked like a leader rolled over and stepped down from the chocobo and hurried to Thomas with outstretched arms intending to embrace him.
Then the knight raised his fist and punched Thomas in the face.
"Oh!" The punch was so heavy that Thomas's face was swollen from being smashed directly.
The dusty knight lifted off his torn helmet and threw it aside, revealing a dirty, resolute face.
The knight, who had a short greasy brown hair that hadn't been washed for an unknown number of days, grabbed Thomas, who was covering his face and gasping, pulled him in front of him, and roared: "Thomas, are you crazy?!" What the hell did you do in Wangcheng, and why did I get a wanted warrant for you from Wangcheng?! ”
"Wang Cheng said that you were the one who rescued the two accomplices of the 'Calamity Witch'!?"
The middle-aged knight questioned Thomas as he swept Edward and the others behind Thomas with a sharp eagle-like gaze, and then he saw two extremely familiar delicate faces under the gray robe......
The middle-aged knight's pupils shrank, that's right, this is exactly the two escaped "Calamity Witch" accomplices on the wanted notice!
"Thomas, you're really crazy! Do you have a crush on these two women? Don't go crazy, if you want a woman, I can help you find it, there are more beautiful ones than these two, and you dare to touch these two? ”
Calamity's accomplices are beautiful, this is the conclusion that the middle-aged knight came to when he saw the portrait of them when he was caught.
Two witches from another world are rare beauty embryos.
However, to be human is to control your desires!
What are Calamity's accomplices? An evil witch, the embodiment of disaster, and an alien invader who summons the devil!
Thomas, who was caught, said with difficulty: "I actually have a hard time. ”
"Bitter? The trouble is that you can't control that thing down there?! The middle-aged knight scolded angrily, and he was about to burst out of his mouth at this moment, when he was recuperating well.
"Hey, be careful, Ilana is still here."
The middle-aged knight rolled his eyes, and after showing a sunny smile to Ilana behind him, he continued to turn his head and make a stinky face with Thomas, and said angrily: "Come on, Ilana has heard a lot of meat jokes like you, why didn't I see you before." ”
The middle-aged knight looked at the box that was guarded by Edward's group in the center, his eyes were a little complicated, and after hesitating for a long time, he put down Thomas in his hand and sighed, "The box is a letter, right?" I received it, you hurry up and leave with your people now, as far as you want. Remember, I didn't see you today! And if you have the chance, find a place to throw those two troubles away, so that I can find a way to get rid of you! ”
The middle-aged knight's concern is not fake, which is something that Edward knew when he saw Thomas being beaten, after seeing the right gaze through the helmet, Edward knew that the knight had a deep friendship with Thomas, and that was a concerned gaze.
Because of this, Edward quietly removed the transparent shield from Thomas.
Otherwise, let alone make Thomas injured, Edward's custody can make the middle-aged knight feel that Thomas's "face" is thicker than the city wall!
Under the arrangement of the middle-aged knight, the guards who followed the middle-aged knight walked up to Edward and carried the tin box.
Seeing that the middle-aged knight looked like he was going to leave immediately, Thomas, who was carrying a package, hurriedly called out to the middle-aged knight: "Wait, Hancock!" It's not just this box of letters that I'm going to give you today, I've got something for you! And, my friends are going to check out your camp and have a little bit of experimentation to do! ”
Hearing Thomas's words, the middle-aged knight raised his eyebrows, and after hearing Thomas's last words, the middle-aged knight's anger rushed up, go to his camp? Thomas, this guy is really crazy!
"You're sick! You still want to go to camp, are you so anxious to be caught! Do you really think I'm the commander of the camp! I'm just the commander's deputy! The commander knew that you were coming, but he had already turned a blind eye, if it weren't for that, you really thought that it would only be me and a few of my personal guards who came?! ”
Saying that, Hancock looked at Thomas and was angry, he twisted his wrist, planning to punch his brother when he was a child, so that the other party could sober up!
Thomas didn't reply, and it was useless to say more in this case, and Thomas knew that very well.
So Thomas was very decisive to take out a "healing potion" from the package he was carrying.
Under Hancock's inexplicable gaze, Thomas carefully dropped a drop of healing potion in the palm of his hand, and then raised his hand to wipe it on his swollen face.
Then, under Hancock's horrified gaze, Thomas's swollen face sank in just a few breaths.
"Huh?!" Hancock looked at Thomas in surprise, hesitated, and said with concern, "Thomas, I know your physique, you don't have the qualifications to become a knight, and you can't practice magic, but you can't run to the group of madmen in the research institute to be an experimental subject, this is the transformation of demons, right?" Has it worked? ”
“……”
Thomas was stunned by the middle-aged knight's words of concern, and only after a while did he react, he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Fart's test subject, fart's demon transformation!" I had a convulsion before I went to the research institute to study those neuropaths! It's a potion, a healing potion, bastard, didn't you see what I just did! ”
"You mean your face was restored by this potion? Are you a liar? So fast? Hancock's eyes widened, and he walked quickly to Thomas, thought for a moment, and then raised his hand to take off the knight's glove on his left hand.
There, a blood-stained bandage was tied.
Hancock didn't hesitate, took the potion from Thomas's hand, and opened his mouth to tear open his slightly smelly bandage, revealing the piercing wound on his left hand.
"Save a little, save a little! Two or three drops are enough! Two or three drops, or you'll regret it later! When Hancock was about to pour the healing potion directly into his hands, Thomas's heart lifted and he hurriedly exclaimed.
Hancock looked at Thomas with a strange expression, hesitated and listened to him, carefully dropping three drops of potion on his wound.
A cool breath came from his hand, and Hancock, who was immediately refreshed, almost groaned.
A tingling sensation came from his injured hand, and under Hancock's shocked gaze, the wound on his hand scabbed!
"This ...... This!? ”
"It's not just a healing potion, I also have an even more magical potion here, which can stop the corpse transformation and purify the corpse poison!"
"Huh?!"
