Volume 3 High Mandate Chapter 21 Fight x Capture x Criminals

Miria and Blala chased Jia Yong's figure all the way into the depths of the forest. Suddenly, a dilapidated camp appeared at the end of the field of vision. The camp was not large, surrounded by rough rocks and wooden stakes. The wooden gate was closed, and next to it stood a simple watchtower, on which a sentry was watching by the torches. The entire camp was shaded in the darkness of the woods, with only a few sporadic fires flickering intermittently.

When Miria and Brala saw the camp, they immediately dodged behind the big tree next to them, and carefully observed the situation in the camp.

"It seems that the only guard you can see is one person on the watchtower, and there seems to be no patrol outside." Miria thought to herself. "What to do? We don't have ranged abilities to attack that sentry. Miria said with a frown.

"Leave it to me." Brala nodded at Miria, who tilted her head in confusion, unable to guess what she wanted to do. At this moment, Blala dragged her tomahawk and ran directly towards the gate of the camp.

"I knew it." Miria said regretfully, patting her head.

The guards on the watchtower immediately spotted Blala's figure, immediately sounded the alarm, and then bent their bows and arrows to shoot at Blala. Blala ignored the sentinel's attack and ran desperately towards the gate. When she reached a certain distance, she immediately picked up her tomahawk and roared, and a huge fireball rushed towards the gate with the shockwave of the tomahawk. The wooden gate burst open in an instant. At this time, Blala was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the blood that flowed out had already stained the armor on her body.

At this time, Miria also caught up, and while complaining about Blala's reckless behavior, she helped her remove the arrow from her shoulder, and then pulled out the strap, and simply held her wound.

"Now we don't have support, let's drink this first." Miria took out two vials of orange-yellow potions from the magical space and said, "At least it can increase our defense and recovery speed for a short time." ”

With the sound of noisy footsteps in the camp, a large number of guards have surrounded from all sides. Miria took a quick look at the camp's buildings. Except for a huge stone building with four or five stories in the middle, there are basically no conspicuous houses around. "I guess it's in that stone building." Miria guessed.

"Let's go to the stone building." Miria said to Brala as she fended off the onrushing guards with her scythe. The sword light and sword shadow, the frost flame, and the pitch-black camp instantly turned into a golden drum and a loud noise. Miria and the others fought the guards as they quickly rushed towards the stone tower. When they arrived at the foot of the stone tower, two men who looked like captains rushed out of the stone tower with five or six guards. They stood guard at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, blocking Miria and Brala's way.

"There's no other choice." "Follow me in, and help me guard the gate." After saying that, Miria cast a frost crystal, with a biting cold air, and instantly rushed to the two captains. She danced her long-handled scythe, slashed horizontally and vertically, flew up and down, and in a short time knocked the three or four guards who surrounded her to the ground, fought a bloody path between the two captains, and rushed into the stone building with Blala.

"Stay here, don't let them in!" With that, Miria left Brala behind, and she quickly climbed the stairs with a long-handled scythe in tow. Brala blocked the doorway with her tomahawk in her hand, and a fierce battle ensued with the swarming captains and guards.

Milia cleared the scattered guards along the way, searching for Jia Yong's traces in the stone tower. When she came to the third floor of the stone building and pushed open a huge stone door, she was surprised to find that Jia Yong was standing in the innermost part of the room in full gear, facing the door, waiting for her arrival. Miria froze and took a look at the situation around her. It is an unusually spacious room, and the floor seems to be made of very special materials, which are not only sturdy but also unusually smooth, and can easily slip if you are not careful. The walls around it were carved with the marks of the huge Apocalypse Revolutionary Army, and seven or eight swords, guns, swords, and halberds were neatly leaning against the corners. Two openwork stone windows on the sides overlook the entire camp. There were no other guards in the room except for Jia Yong. "I think it's a place for training or gatherings."

"It's really courageous that he didn't run away." Miria said defiantly.

"Wait for my brother." Jia Yong replied simply.

"I can't wait, your brother has already been caught or left with you. Just tie your hands and catch it. ”

"Nonsense!" Jia Yong roared, picked up his sledgehammer and smashed it at Miria. Miria immediately retreated to dodge, but her feet slipped and her body immediately lost her balance, and she hurriedly supported the ground with her long-handled scythe, rolling over the momentum, and barely dodged Jia Yong's attack. The whistling sledgehammer slammed into the solid floor with a screeching sound that shook the entire stone building. "But don't be hit by it." Miria gasped in her heart.

Jia Yong raised the sledgehammer, retreated slightly, and then swept towards Miria again with all his strength. Miria noticed that the roof was too low to take off, so she had to retreat to dodge. The moment her back hit the wall, a sledgehammer whizzed past her blonde hair.

"Fortunately, I've lost weight well recently, and if I get hit by that hammer, I'm going to be crushed." Miria thought in horror, "It's not good to fight him in such an enclosed space." Despite this, Miria rushed to Jia Yong and fought him more closely.

With each of Jia Yong's attacks, Miria tried to avoid his head-on sledgehammer, either dodging or using her weapon to unload the power of the straight charge. Although Jia Yong's sledgehammer has not hit Miria with a single solid hit so far, even those faint abrasions have put a huge burden on Miria.

"If it weren't for the effect of the potion, I guess it would have fallen by now." Miria muttered to herself, "There is only one frost crystal left, so it seems that we can only delay it as much as possible." Thinking of this, Miria shattered the last frost crystal, gritted her teeth, and flew around Jia Yong with a bitter cold wind.

Miria saw Jia Yong's slight slowness, and always tried to go around his back or side to attack. Whenever Jia Yong's sledgehammer swept across, she always accelerated forward, and at the same time went around Jia Yong's side in the direction of the sledgehammer, and then used the long-handled scythe to weaken the impact of the sledgehammer as much as possible and reduce the damage she received. Although Jia Yong also had a lot of scars on his body under Miria's nimble and agile attacks, these wounds did not spread according to Miria's plan, but quickly stopped, and the damage caused to Jia Yong was very limited. As the frosty environment gradually dissipated, Jia Yong's body gradually accumulated a thin layer of frost, making his already inagile movements even more sluggish. However, Miria's situation is even worse. The accumulation of trauma has made her body, which is not known for its strength, weaker and weaker. With the effects of the potion disappearing and the long hours of rapid fighting, Miria's physical consumption is close to the limit. In a dodge, Miria's feet were weak, a little slower, and Jia Yong's sledgehammer grazed her shoulder, and her body immediately flew out, falling heavily on the pillar of the stone window, and the long-handled scythe also flew out of her hand and fell to the side.

At this time, Jia Yong's whole body erupted with amazing energy, and his body size also increased significantly, he picked up the sledgehammer and let out a strange cry, "Attack, Mountain Giant, Cover the Sea and Move Mountains!" With Jia Yong's roar, a huge shockwave rushed out of his sledgehammer, and it came in a cone and radial in the direction of Miria.

"Sacred, Sacred Barrier!" At this critical moment, Yugari grabbed Blala in one hand and waved her staff in the other, urging her horse to arrive from the stone window. As Yugari's words landed, a sacred barrier descended around Miria. The sound of impact, collapse, crash, cacophony and blasting of earth mingled. When the dust cleared, the entire stone wall behind Miria had disappeared into the cloudy air. However, even after releasing such a huge amount of energy, Jia Yong did not lose much physical energy because of this, and still rushed towards Youjiali and them with high morale.

Without saying a word, Blala immediately raised her tomahawk and stepped forward to fight. The two immediately got into a fight. Yugari took this opportunity to hurriedly help Miria with a simple treatment, but Miria was too physically exhausted and could not continue to participate in the war for a while. At this time, the guards downstairs had also caught up. Yugari stood beside Miria, using a barrier to protect Miria from Jia Yong's attacks, and brandishing her staff to deal with the surrounding guards, with little time to support Blana in battle.

Although Blala's physical strength was still enough, she was also injured, and her movements were somewhat affected, and it didn't take long for her to be at a disadvantage in the battle with Jia Yong. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yugari immediately rushed towards Blala's side. "You go deal with the miscellaneous soldiers and protect Miria. I'll leave it to me! At the same time, she first used the light barrier to catch Jia Yong's attack, and swung her staff to knock Jia Yong back a few steps, allowing Brala to take this opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield and transfer to Miria's side.

Yujiali clenched her staff, relying on the light barrier and mana shield, and started a fierce white-knuckle battle with Jia Yong. "Although the strength is indeed much greater than that of Kaythorne, it does not have the sense of oppression that Kaythorne gives people." Yugari couldn't help but think of the scene when she fought Kaythorne before. "Is it because you can't move as fast as Kaythorne?" If so, it is. But...... I always feel like something is missing.'" Yugari thought to herself, confused. After being hit by Jia Yong's sledgehammer and taking a few steps back, Jia Yong attacked Yujiali in the same way.

"I see!" Yugari's heart lit up, "It's the way of fighting. His fighting style is too simple, and his attack routine is exactly the same, which is exactly the same. It's easy to guess what you want to do!' Thinking of this, Youjiali was more comfortable with Jia Yong. As the battle progressed, it became increasingly difficult for Jia Yong to catch Youjiali's figure.

"Now it's just a matter of solving the offensive problem." Although Yujiali thought so, in fact, she had already used the gap between dodges in the battle just now to apply many layers of shadow magic effects to Jia Yong that reduced her defense. It was only because of her own lack of physical attack power that she failed to cause much damage to Jia Yong. Just then, the body of one of the guards who had been knocked away by Brala fell behind Eugari.

"Looks like there's no other way to do it." Looking at the corpses of the blood-bleeding guards, Yugari thought. So, Yugari spotted the gap between Jia Yong's attacks, cleverly bounced him away with her staff, and then immediately pointed her staff at the guard's corpse. The dark energy that kept gushing out of the staff instantly wrapped around the corpses of the guards. It didn't take long for a burly undead berserker with a sharp blade in his hand and a thick aura of death around him to appear beside Yugari, shocking everyone.

"This ......," Miria was so shocked that she couldn't believe her eyes. Brala and the guards who rushed in were also startled, forgetting for a moment that they were still fighting.

At this time, the undead berserker let out a hoarse scream, and with both swords, he attacked Jia Yong like a hungry tiger pounced. In the face of the sudden necromantic creature, Jia Yong did not show any fear, he still picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it at the necromantic berserker as usual. The Necromantic Berserker caught the sledgehammer with a blade in both hands, and then pushed it back with incredible force. Immediately afterwards, the Necromantic Berserker pounced on Jia Yong, and quickly stabbed a sword before Jia Yong struck the sledgehammer again, the armor on Jia Yong's shoulder was immediately opened a gap, and a stream of blood instantly gushed out, and Jia Yong immediately took two steps back and almost fell.

Without giving Jia Yong any respite, the Necromantic Berserker rushed to Jia Yong's approach again, and before he could adjust his center of gravity, the blade suddenly plunged into his waist. Jia Yong endured the severe pain, grabbed the shin bone of the necromantic battle, and threw it out with all his might. The sword drawn out made Jia Yong gush out a large amount of blood again. Jia Yong covered the wound on his waist with one hand and clenched the sledgehammer with the other, fighting with the tireless necromantic berserker who rushed up again, without fear or even pain. Although there were a few cracks in the skeleton of the Necromantic Berserker under Jia Yong's infinitely powerful blows, at this time, Jia Yong had been stabbed with more than a dozen wounds all over his body, and the bright red blood almost stained half of his body.

Just when they were fighting, Yujiali saw the gap after the collision of their weapons, rushed in front of Jia Yong, picked up the staff with all her strength, swept away, and hit Jia Yong's waist firmly, using the staff's unique knockback effect, knocking Jia Yong out at once. Jia Yong, who was knocked away, went straight through the stone window, fell from the third floor of the stone building, smashed heavily into the roof below, and planted himself in the stone house.

Seeing that the commander was knocked out of the stone building, the guards who rushed to the city immediately had no intention of fighting, and scattered and fled after a short time. Eugaria Harbinger dispersed the Necro Berserker, then helped Bralla check her injuries and do some simple treatments.

"It's nothing big now. I'll help you heal it all after that. Eugaria said anxiously, "Bella, you take care of Miria here first, I have to catch the leader first, I can't let him escape." ”

"Let's go together." Miria stepped forward and said.

"But you're in ...... physical condition"

"It doesn't matter anymore, I'm almost recovered, let's go." Miria replied with some stubbornness, and then, without waiting for Eugari's answer, she took the lead and ran downstairs. Eugarie and Blala had to follow. Although there were still some scattered guards left in the stone building, they had long lost the desire to fight, and it didn't take long for Yujiali and the others to rush out of the stone building.

"You're not going to fall to your death, are you?" Miria asked.

"No, there were some injuries, but they weren't fatal. With his physical condition, he can withstand such an impact. Yugari said affirmatively.

By the time they reached the camp, most of the guards had fled. Some of them were carrying luggage and goods to the wagon, and the occasional guard or two rushing up with weapons in hand was quickly knocked to the ground by Yugari and the others. Yujiali didn't have time to pay attention to these guards at this time, but rushed straight to the stone house where Jia Yong fell.

Brala slammed open the closed door, and Eugari and Miria followed. I saw that the tables, chairs and benches in the stone house were crooked, the luggage and goods were sprinkled all over the ground, and the broken bricks and sawdust fell everywhere, which was a mess. But Yujiali and the others searched every corner of the stone house, but Jia Yong was nowhere to be found.

"Strange? Where did it go? Yugari muttered to herself.

"Did you run away? Let's look around. Miria said.

"Probably not, with his character, he shouldn't run away. Not to mention ......"

"Here." Not far away, outside the back door of the stone house, Blana said coldly.

Hearing Brala's words, Eugari and Miria rushed over. I saw Jia Yong lying motionless on the ground, his whole body was covered with countless wounds, the hot blood was still flowing out, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and he had obviously lost the signs of life.

"How could it be ......" Seeing such a miserable situation, Yujiali immediately resisted the feeling of wanting to vomit and covered her mouth.

"What's going on? Who did this to you? Miria asked, confused.

Looking around, at this time, the guards of the entire camp had already run away. In the darkness of the night, there were only a few empty stone houses and a flickering torch, and there was no one to be seen except Eugari, Miria, and Blala.

It took a long time for Yugari and the others to recover from their doubts. Eucaria first heals Miria and Blala, allowing them to heal all their wounds as they were. Then he searched the camp carefully with them, trying to find as many useful clues as possible, but because it was only a temporary camp and not a place where they were mainly active, they did not find much valuable. In the end, they walked out dejected, intending to return to the carriage to meet Conya.

Yugari and the others had just walked out of the camp and were about to enter the forest when they suddenly noticed a small figure hiding behind a tree in the distance.

"Who?" Eugari immediately drew her staff and took a fighting stance, and Miria and Bralla nervously held their weapons. After a while, Yugari saw that the figure did not answer, and vaguely heard bursts of crying. So, they walked slowly, and when they came closer, they realized that it was the lost Zhenzhen who was hiding behind the tree. At the moment, she was rubbing her eyes and crying.

"Really?" Eugari shouted in surprise.

"Why are you here?" Miria immediately rushed forward and crouched down and asked.

"Woo...... I, I'm ......," Zhenzhen said while crying, "I saw you running out of the car, and I thought you didn't want me anymore, so I followed...... Whining...... Chase here...... I won't be able to find you...... Woohoo......"

"Alright, alright...... Don't cry, don't cry, it's really the best. Yugari hurriedly helped to comfort her, "Why don't we want you, don't you see we're all here?" Don't cry anymore. ”

"Yes, we didn't want you, you see...... Yes? Miria screamed at the light source she summoned from Eugari. She saw that Zhenzhen's coat was soaked with a large area of blood, and even her arms, legs and feet were stained red with blood, "So much blood, are you hurt?" ”

Hearing Miria's shout, Yugari immediately noticed the real situation and hurriedly helped her check it out.

"No, it's not my blood." Zhenzhen rubbed his red eyes and said, "A lot of soldiers ran out of the place where you came out just now, and they fought for finances, and many people died, right there. As he spoke, he pointed to the grass nearby. Only then did they see the corpses of several guards lying in the surrounding grass, blood flowing almost all over the road.

"Are you hurt?" Yugari asked with concern.

"Nope." Zhenzhen shook his head and said, "I was hiding in other bushes, and they didn't even notice me. It's just that when I ran out, I accidentally fell and got like this. ”

"That's good, it's good if you don't get hurt, it's good if you don't get hurt." Eugari kept comforting.

Afterwards, Yugari and the others carefully investigated the surrounding situation, although there were some suspicious points that made Yujiali feel very confused, but they didn't have time to think about it, after burying the corpses of the guards and sorting out the scattered goods, they hurriedly rushed towards Konya with Zhenzhen.
