Before, in order to facilitate hiding, all the horses were thrown into the distance, and the knights pursued on two legs behind, and the degree was naturally a big difference. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info8Δ1 Some guys who are good at levitating magic can get closer at first, but they soon stop due to the excessive consumption of holy light power, and the war horse they are chasing goes all the way forward, and after a while, it disappears without a trace.

"Oops!"

The old paladin Herbert looked at the few war horses that had gone away, and couldn't help but sigh, and walked straight from the shadows in the direction of the battlefield under the protection of several paladins.

It was only now that the survivors finally had time to work on the wounded. The place that had just experienced a small fierce battle, the blood on the ground had not yet dried up, the pieces of minced flesh were soaked inside, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air, making some young paladins who had never seen the scene of war feel sick.

A paladin stepped forward and reported, "My lord, four enemies have escaped from the encirclement, and all the rest are dead. ”

As if he hadn't heard, Herbert didn't give any response, but took a few steps forward and looked at the corpses on the ground in various forms. Some of the glittering light was still flickering, but it was soon gone, returning to become part of the Origin Power.

Immediately, the Holy Bishop suddenly roared: "Bury our people properly, as for Harvey, strip all the clothes off their corpses and throw them into the Demon Forest to feed the wolves!" ”

The paladins who were busy saving people all looked over in surprise and saw that the Holy Bishop's face was pale. Although such an order was incompatible with the usual style of their Light Race, the thought that these were Harvey's men, and that many of his brothers had died at their hands, immediately felt a sense of resentment in his heart.

"My lord, a few people ran away just now, will it ......?"

Before Erik's words were finished, Herbert had already stopped him with a gesture: "Regardless of whether those people can escape or not, today's life will be known by Ontariel's side sooner or later." From now on, we should be fully prepared for the various crises that may arise next. ”

Eric chucked slightly: "I see." ”

As they spoke, the paladins had already counted the casualties. 223 of their own men were killed and 57 were seriously wounded, and the preliminary calculation of the enemy's casualties was captured.

Such an outcome seemed to Herbert to be expected. Although there are more casualties on his side, there are most cannon fodder here, and there are not a few real gold-level paladins, but the losses of the other party are too great, and almost all of them are wiped out. In this way, Herbert was quite satisfied.

However, Eric's focus was clearly not limited to this, he was surprised to see that none of his own dead belonged to Gad's camp, and only two or three guys suffered some minor injuries. This alerted him. Why is this happening? It's easy to explain that these guys didn't use all their strength and consciously backed away when the two sides were fighting.

"Is this how these guys do this paladin?" Eric was furious. His gaze swept over the faces of those who had known each other for less than two days, and he felt that these people would say a few words from time to time, as if they had a sense of happiness that they would not die.

Eric did not report these observations directly to the Holy Bishop, because all of this was just his own speculation, and there was no evidence that they were really passive. And, even if Herbert doesn't see that now, it will always happen eventually.

But Eric thought of another level: these people are simply greedy for life and afraid of death? Could there be a bigger conspiracy hidden here? Thinking that the paladins in Gad's camp had fallen to Herbert's side before, Eric had long thought it was strange, and now that the two things were connected, it seemed that something was about to come out.

He felt the need to find a time to talk to the Holy Bishop about his conjectures.

……

Compared to the real killings outside, Gade and his group had a much better life in the Demon Forest. Although there are a lot of magical beasts in the forest, it is winter after all, and most of the magical beasts have fallen into hibernation due to lack of food and other reasons, and there are only some small things to fight, and there is no climate.

"It's the off-season in the Demon Realm Forest, and even those explorers who want money and don't want their lives are too lazy to come in." The paladins whispered as they pushed forward, "Lord Holy Bishop just let us in here, to be honest, we can't collect many high-quality crystal nuclei at all, unless we go to the heart of the forest where no one has ever set foot before, maybe we can gain a little." ”

"There's a high-level demonic beast over there?" A young paladin looked interested, "Then why don't we go?" ”

"You stupid, what is that place? The large monster is polite to eat a person in one bite. Not to mention that we are gold-level paladins, even a legendary-level night mage may not be able to descend, where will we have the life to collect crystal nuclei at that time. ”

“……”

It was almost noon, and everyone simply caught a few monsters that looked like wolves, and after taking out the crystal nucleus, they sat around the ground and began to roast game. However, Gad took advantage of everyone's lack of attention and walked straight to the side.

A fly with a black mist "buzzed" around for a moment before landing on his shoulder, and then Gad received a message in his mind: we're gone, and everything will settle itself.

A gloomy smile appeared on the old paladin's scarred face, and he said to himself, "It's really crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

But his every move was no longer seen by Anne and Piger. Little Nizi and the vicious dog rode in a carriage and drove along the way they came in the direction of the Ontar train.

"It's so cold......," muttered Anne, leaning on the side of the carriage, her eyes closed, looking a little lazy.

Pije clumped his entire body into a ball, like a giant pom-pom. Around him were piles of discolored furs, wolf skins, fox skins...... These white furs were specially collected by Pijie, because he promised Xiao Nizi that when she returned to Ontariel, he would find someone to make her a fur dress.

When a man and a dog dozed off with their eyes closed in the bumpy carriage, an arm suddenly stretched out from outside the front curtain of the carriage, and after groping for a while, the vicious dog suddenly burst out and bit the arm fiercely with a "crunch".

"Whew!"

A terrifying scream rang out from outside the carriage, and the arm shook off Piger's sharp teeth. Anne on the side didn't open her eyes, but asked in a sleepy voice, "What's going on outside?" (To be continued.) )
