The road at the edge of the forest was uneven, and after a few bumps back and forth, Nata gradually regained consciousness.

Listening to the voices of these guys, Nata quickly realizes that she is in a bad situation - but she also confirms the fact that she can't die for the time being.

The memories in her mind gradually became clearer, and Nata only felt a chill in her heart when she remembered what happened ten minutes ago...

As a wood elf who has lived in the forest for nearly twenty years, it is difficult for all movements here to escape her observation, but no matter how sensitive her senses are, it is difficult for her to grasp the opportunity in the face of the "shadow spell" that she has never seen before. Nata only remembers... He was wrapped around his ankle by the sudden purple light under his feet, and then his entire body was instantly bound by the chains that came from all directions. She was about to open her mouth to shout, but she lost consciousness directly because of an irresistible sleepiness.

In other words, she was subdued without even the slightest reaction from beginning to end.

According to common sense, even if Nata didn't shout, the soldiers who were not far away could easily notice the abnormality - but because of the existence of the "Shadow Guardian Enchantment", Nata disappeared directly from this battlefield in a coma, and no one noticed her disappearance from beginning to end.

At this time, the awakened Nata did not move rashly, and even tried to maintain the previous gentle frequency of breathing... Her eyes opened slightly, and she relaxed her body and carefully observed the scenery around her.

The scattered branches on the ground indicate that this is woodland, and she can smell the peculiar fishy smell near the water source between her noses, Nata confirmed that she is very close to the river next to the battlefield, but it is difficult for the primeval forest to have any iconic things as a reference, she squinted for a long time, but it was still difficult to judge how far away she was from Roddy and the others.

The chains on her body are very tight, let alone break free, and she can't do it even if she wants to exert her strength - Nata doesn't plan to struggle desperately and get the other party's attention, she finds that the only thing she can do now is to try to maintain a comatose posture and wait for the right moment...

"Keep up with the group, and once we've crossed the river, those guys have nothing to worry about. ”

The bishop who walked in front of him spoke very casually, as if he was just commenting on the surrounding scenery, but these subordinates behind him did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and responded in unison, speeding up slightly.

Nata's heart tightened... Although these people do not know how to hide their figures, they will eventually leave traces on the ground, but if they cross the river, the difficulty of tracking will skyrocket, or even the possibility of tracking at all.

"Lord Bishop, do we still have to pay attention to the matter of Head Kevin?"

"He must be dead, we know that, and Goethe knows, but what else can he do? It's just revenge to die—but he sent me all the way to investigate, and you think it's to cooperate with that Juan?"

The bishop who walked in front talked eloquently, he seemed to like this feeling of overlooking the whole situation, waved the scepter in his hand casually, and then pointed to the quiet forest on the other side of the river and said: "Kevin's matter is not important at all, what matters is what we can gain from this trip." ”

"The village of the Wood Elves is clearly more important than the news of where an unlucky ghost died. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The voice of his subordinate Ying He sounded, making the bishop with extremely strong mouth skills show a reserved but somewhat smug smile.

However, they obviously don't know that Nata, who was caught by them at the back of the team, had seen Kevin killed by Roddy with her own eyes.

"This elf will be of great use in the future - of course, everything needs to be summoned after the 'Viper Scepter' is summoned, and it is estimated that Lord Goethe's side will soon be able to summon it, and when the time comes... A mere wood elf village at your fingertips. ”

"My lord, it seems that those heretics are encircling us in the south of the kingdom. ”

The "Rosicruc" and the "Pit Viper Cross" are always on opposite sides, so they both refer to each other as "infidels", and on this topic, Bishop Flac sneered with a slight disdain on his face: "The self-righteous old fellows of the 'Temple', Master Goethe dug a hole casually, and they really took the bait and jumped in one by one-heh... Just listen to these things, and don't talk superfluous nonsense with others. ”

The subordinates should say yes, they are all confidants who have followed Bishop Flac for many years, so naturally they will not reveal the news... But apparently, they didn't realize that these words had been heard by Nata, who knew Bringa well.

However, Bishop Flac apparently did not see Nata as a threat - he was even stronger than Gallup the "Snake Fang" who had stirred up trouble in Hollier City, and unlike Gallup, Flac's spells were mostly used for support and control, and it was difficult to have attack power at low levels, but at level 18, Flac was far superior to other classes in "heads-up" ability because he had mastered more spells.

"Your Excellency, after this operation, Juan's team was basically wiped out, and since then..."

"There is no need to pay attention to waste that has no use value, but to find out what the background of this later cavalry team is, I don't remember which nobleman in Ivota has this kind of strength. ”

As the team continued to march, Nata became worse as she listened to their babbling words... Because she really couldn't find a way to escape, and she didn't even know how to leave some clues in the forest!

Do you really want to be taken away like this?

Could it be that Roddy still doesn't know what happened?

"It's time to get to the place, cross the river. ”

The bishop holding the scepter in front of him suddenly changed direction, and because he left the shadow of the bushes, the "Shadow Guardian Enchantment" was distorted a few times before its effect disappeared. Flac, on the other hand, led the team to the crossing point of the river.

Flack looked back at the footprints on the shallows, and the wave of the scepter smoothed out all traces, but as the group was about to walk across the shallow river, the bishop suddenly stopped, looked at the slightly rippling water, and suddenly raised the scepter in his hand...

Because the slightly heaved river proves that something seems to be swimming quietly underneath.

But soon Flac put the scepter down, and the enemy he had to face was not the monster in the water - more was better than less, and leaving as little as possible was what he had to do now.

"Keep going. ”

He waved his hand, and then paused his scepter, and after his spirit was condensed, he forcibly pushed the river in front of and behind him completely away with shadow energy... Walking through the river, Bishop Flack's robe showed no signs of getting wet—though his men clearly did not have the ability to do so, and one by one they waded into the water, trying to stabilize themselves in the flowing water, and marching slowly...

There are two types of river crossings, one is the beach suitable for boat transportation, and the other is the shallow water in front of you that can be walked through - but the so-called "shallow" is often waist-high or even chest-deep, and it takes a lot of effort for anyone to pass safely.

The shadow energy that Vlac uses is actually a huge amount of magic, but he is used to it, otherwise how can a bishop maintain his image in front of these men?

The river wasn't fast, but the shallows were a strenuous walk, especially with an incapacitated Wood Elf in the group, which meant that two soldiers had to lift Nata up at the same time to ensure she didn't drown her head in the water.

The team of eight walked for two minutes in the fifteen-meter-wide river to reach the other side, but to get there was basically to get out of the way of any team - and for Nata, it meant that Roddy would never find her again...

Seeing the hope of escape gradually disappearing, Nata's heart couldn't help but give birth to a strange emotion: if she disappeared for no reason like this, would Roddy soon give up looking for herself?

Knowing that these guys were going to use themselves against Elsa's village, Nata was ready to die with the enemy - but when the thought came to her mind, she thought with some sadness... If he dies like this, will Roddy completely forget about it many years later... He once had a student who silently followed him to learn archery?

Many thoughts came and went in an instant, and Nata remembered the bits and pieces of these days - what she had experienced after leaving Elsa's village was wonderful enough to write a biography: she walked out of the village and saw everything she had never imagined...

And now, Nata can only sigh in her heart, maybe she will never see the guy who took her out of the forest again.

She rarely has mood swings, and she is inexplicably a little lost.

The team had crossed the river beach and simply packed up, while Nata clenched her fingers slightly, ready to burst into a struggle - but at the moment when her muscles tensed, the team collectively stopped what they were doing and looked back at the other side of the river...

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves came abruptly.

Flac frowned, and at the end of his vision appeared ten horsemen galloping forward, judging from their outfits, they were the same group that had eliminated Juan's forces before - for this Shadow Priest, he was quite sure of the team that would solve these ten people, but now he didn't need to do it: the edge of the Silent Forest was only about thirty meters away, and once they entered the bushes, they would not be able to fight a tough battle with each other when they opened the "Shadow Guardian Enchantment"!

The cavalry could get past the crossing, but they couldn't travel much faster than they did, so Vlack made sure he had plenty of time to get his men out.

He didn't bother to wonder why he was exposed, he just raised his scepter and ordered directly at his six men, "Go!

Everyone immediately stepped forward and prepared to run towards the jungle not far away, but at this moment, Nata, who had been being carried by someone, suddenly leaned back and fell straight into the river behind her with the other party's stunned expression!

"Poof—"

Nata, who was straight, fell into the shallow water, and was quickly choked twice by her immobile body, and coughed violently, but her movement made Flack and the others stunned - Bishop Flac's face was extremely gloomy, and he immediately shouted: "Catch her! Get out of here!"

He raised his scepter and prepared to perform "hypnosis" again, but when he raised his gaze, he suddenly realized... In the distance, in the team that was rushing quickly, there was a person who jumped off his horse more than forty meters away from the mouth of the river and rushed directly towards the riverbank...

What is he going to do?
