The swords intersected, flashing a dazzling cold light.

Dark shadows flickered and rushed down from the air. In the face of the attack in front of him, the man in armor shouted, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a powerful and powerful momentum, stabbing forward with force. In the face of the stabbing long sword, the black shadow in the air had to turn over, rolling on the ground in embarrassment, avoiding the man's attack. Soon, however, it sprang to its feet, sweeping backwards with a trail of afterimages. And with the movement of the black shadow, one by one, the skeleton soldiers of Bai Sensen rolled out of the dirt, and they raised their weapons high and forced towards the people in front of them.

"We must get out of here now!!"

Guarding the luxurious carriage next to him, a middle-aged man wearing leather armor and carrying a giant sword looked worried, he looked at the undead in front of him with a solemn expression, waved the giant sword in his hand and fought and retreated. Then she glanced to the side, and saw that beside everyone, a petite girl in a magic robe was gritting her teeth and raising the staff in her hand, and a wall of fire appeared in front of her, keeping the undead out.

"Livita! Support it a little more! ”

“…………！！”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the girl did not speak, but gritted her teeth and nodded. Seeing the girl's response, the middle-aged man also sighed in his heart, but the speed in his hand was not slow, and he quickly repelled the two undead creatures who came to attack. I saw the giant sword in my hand swing over, and the sword wind brought up rose to the ground and scattered in all directions, and the monsters in front of me were blasted back in the blink of an eye. But the undead apparently didn't care, and they let out a heart-stopping wail as they strode forward.

What a hassle.

Seeing that the undead creature in front of him was still attacking relentlessly, the man also frowned. He lowered his head and glanced at the silver and white cross on his chest, but his face was hesitant.

Although Rhodes became the Dragon of the Void. I don't care about the development of the Starlight Guild anymore. But the Starlight Guild didn't decline because of Rod's departure. On the contrary, along with Rod's prestige, the power of the Starlight Guild has also grown. The two years of war have caused many refugees to flee to the Void Realm, and there are some people with special skills. However, they were reluctant to enter the army to fight, so they joined Starlight as mercenaries. After all, in the Void Realm, the Starlight Guild is dominant. Under Marlene's cultivation intentionally or unintentionally. The current Starlight Guild is basically a semi-official non-governmental organization. And the complicated mercenary rules before have also been temporarily abolished due to the continuous war. After all, at such a time, the mercenaries also need to protect their homes, where to have time to do what tasks. And the Void Lord itself has nothing to do with the Mercenary Association, so Starlight has grown and grown here, and everyone is very clear about the relationship between Starlight and the lords here, so it's very reassuring to ask them to do things. And because the Void Realm was in ruins, it was also understaffed at the beginning. So sometimes, there are a lot of things that can't be done by the military. Mercenaries will also be assigned to complete it. And these mercenaries are also very comfortable in Starlight, after all, there is a Creation Dragon Soul on it, and no one dares to come to trouble them. Of course, under Marlene's strict orders, Starlight does not do anything to oppress others, so it is also quite popular and loved by everyone.

And this time, this team of mercenaries also came for this, they originally just wanted to investigate the activities of those undead creatures in the border area of the Void Realm. Although there are Marlene, Kirudi and Alice are there. The bulk of the army has been wiped out. But there's no guarantee that a small stream of undead won't enter it. The so-called thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in the anthill, and Marlene and others took care of everything. How could they have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter. If you want to send troops, the border is so long, it is quite difficult to patrol. Fortunately, the Void Leader is not short of money, and this is not a confidential mission, so it is directly handed over to the mercenaries of the Starlight Guild to eliminate these stragglers.

And they are also one of them, this time they got information that there are undead creatures in the surrounding mountains and forests. That's why I came to check it out.

The result surprised everyone that these undead creatures were not only hundreds in number, but also more powerful than they could have imagined. This squad was joined by Rhodes when he recruited a large number of mercenaries, and now it is an elite squad, and because of Rhodes, they have not fought against the undead. He thinks he knows a lot about the undead. But this time after the attack. only to find that things are far more strange than I thought.

Take those skeleton soldiers as an example, it was originally not a problem for a middle-aged man to smash three or five with just a slap of his hand. But now these skeletons are extremely hard, and they can only shoot at most two of them with a single blow with all their might, and there is no way to completely kill them. Not only that, but even the flames, which were originally very threatening to the undead, seemed to have lost their original strength at this time, and although those undead still didn't dare to get too close, they didn't become as fragile as before.

This immediately caught everyone off guard, although they also learned from their colleagues that the recent undead had become a little strange, but they didn't expect the change to be so big, and they couldn't help but suffer a big loss for a while. And now they can only slowly retreat, get out of here, and if they can retreat to the plains, then there is still the strength to fight. But in this dark jungle, everyone is tied to each other, fortunately, this time, except for the leading vampire species, which is more tricky, the others are just skeleton soldiers. Otherwise, if there were a few Death Knights or Lichs, I am afraid that everyone would have died by now.

But even so, everyone was still in a hurry, and the middle-aged man originally planned to dig a trap and then destroy the other party in turn. But now he had to change his mind, after all, the other party was menacing. One by one, the summoned skeleton soldiers were only the lowest-level troops, but the strengthened skeleton soldiers were enough to give them a headache.

"Hurry up and retreat!!"

Seeing that the people behind him were entangled by the skeleton soldiers, the middle-aged man also shouted loudly with a cold face. If it's just an ordinary skeleton soldier, how can it be possible to entangle yourself with these people. And now these pesky undead creatures are so annoying. This made him very anxious, and he could feel that the reason why these undead creatures did not rush forward was definitely not because they couldn't beat him, but because they were deliberately delaying the speed of themselves and others. This made him even more worried, for fear that these undead creatures had some kind of conspiracy. But now the colleagues behind are also gritting their teeth, desperately resisting the attack of the undead creatures in front of them. There is simply no way to retreat. If they retreated, I am afraid that these undead creatures in front of them would directly besiege them completely. But now, if you don't retreat, you will only support it for a few more moments, and the final outcome will still not be much better.

"Captain, let me do it."

Just when the middle-aged man was worried about the situation in front of him. I saw that the mage girl with a cold face and a staff in her hand spoke. Although her face was pale, she still gritted her teeth and supported the wall of fire in front of her. It was obvious that he had reached the limit, but when he heard the girl's words, the man frowned. Although this girl has only been joining her mercenary team for a year, her spellcasting methods are very strong. At first, his group looked down on this little girl, but now she has become their most trusted partner and teammate. But after all, she is still a child, and it is not easy to support her so far. Even if he didn't know how to use spells, just looking at the girl's pale face, he knew that she didn't have much strength now.

"Can you? Revita, don't force it if you can't. I've already sent a distress signal, and it won't be long before reinforcements arrive. ”

As he spoke, the man looked at the cross badge in front of him with a complicated expression. As the first members of the Starlight Guild, they are not only strong, but the equipment they have obtained is also a first-class good thing. For example, the Cross Medal he was wearing, it was the first product created by Labis, which could not only cast the four elements to protect the barrier, but even teleport him directly back to the Land of Atonement in an emergency. Only the first three groups of members of the Starlight Guild had this badge. They've either been with Rhodes or they've been the first to join the guild. There is no merit and hard work. But it is obviously impossible for the later mercenaries to have this kind of thing, and Labis has long been concerned about the affairs of the Starlight Guild, she has the magic technology of the Void Realm to be busy, so it is naturally impossible to make any magical equipment specifically for the people of the mercenary public household as before. Although her apprentices still provide alchemy potions for the guild as always, it is obviously impossible for such a thing as magic equipment to be in their hands as they were at the beginning.

Although they are veteran teams. But after two years of ups and downs, there are one-third of the latecomers, of course, they can't have this badge, and the girl next to them is also one of them. If they leave like this, they will undoubtedly be abandoned completely. It's absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing on your own! In any case, they are their own subordinates!

"No, you can't hold it anymore, let me do it! I have a unique skill to summon Fantasy Beasts to entangle these monsters, and by that time, it's not too late for everyone to retreat. ”

"But ..............."

Hearing the girl's answer, the man's face became more and more worried, although he didn't know how to spell, but he had never eaten pork and watched pigs run, and when he launched the summoning spell, he had to control his summoned beast wholeheartedly, otherwise he was likely to be eaten by the other party. If it was before, he would have asked Revita to give it a try, but now looking at her pale face, I'm afraid that even if she summons a demonic beast, she can only barely support it, which is almost equivalent to letting her face the attack of the undead alone!

"There's no time, Captain."

Seeing the man's hesitation, the girl whispered to herself, and then her hands were suddenly outstretched. Seeing the girl's movements, the man's face changed greatly, he stretched out his hand, but the next moment he had to withdraw his hand. Gripping the greatsword, he swung it to the side with all his might, knocking the undead creature that pounced on it again into the air.

At this moment, Revita stretched out her hand and muttered words in her mouth, and soon, with the girl's movements, a bright red flame appeared between her hands. Then Revita suddenly opened her eyes and began to sing loudly. And with the sound of her chanting, the pure red flame suddenly erupted, flying towards the front and enveloping the past. Seeing the explosion of flames, the undead also let out a scream and retreated, only to see the flame twist and appear in front of the undead, and then turn into a huge rhinoceros with a red body and flames, and its nose spewed hot white steam. A pair of eyes stared viciously at the monster in front of them. Seeing this huge fire elemental creature, the undead instinctively stepped back, they let out an evil scream, and slowly turned their feet to confront the monster in front of them. Although its strength has increased a lot, the fear of fire in the bones of the undead creatures is innate, and now what Livita has summoned is a pure fire elemental creature. It does make the undead feel uneasy and fearful.

"Woo———!!"

And at this moment, seeing the fire elemental creature in front of him, the vampire who had been hiding behind suddenly raised his head and shouted, and with his scream, the surrounding land that seemed to be flat and stable suddenly turned over, and then a skeleton with a skeleton emerged from it, completely enveloping everyone in it.

"Damn!!"

It was only at this time that the man's face changed drastically, and he saw the other party's true intentions clearly. It turns out that they didn't care about themselves before. Instead, he hopes to be able to use himself as bait to lure more people, otherwise if he summons so many undead creatures from the beginning, he and others will definitely be dead or alive. And now that he really plans to retreat, he gave up the idea of bait and planned to solve himself first!

And at this moment, looking at the skeleton soldiers in front of him, there were as many as five or six hundred, the man's heart was also cold, he stretched out his hand and pressed the badge on his chest. But after a moment, there was a long sigh. Then he took the badge off his chest and handed it to the girl.

"Captain?"

Seeing the man's movements, the girl couldn't help but be stunned. In the face of her questioning gaze, the man turned up the corners of his mouth slightly and spoke.

"Prepare for a moment, and use the remaining magic to activate the magic on this badge in a moment. This is the treasure we received from Master Labis, and it is completely different from the badge you are wearing now. After activation, a teleportation circle will appear, and at that point we will teleport back together. ”

"Ah............ What a ................"

Hearing the man's words, the girl was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took the badge. Curiously looking at it. Seeing the girl's expression, the man sighed, not knowing how she would react when she teleported back and found out that she had lied, but now he didn't care so much. In the past two years, I have followed the boss in the wind and rain, and I have seen everything. What else is there to be afraid of now!? It's this little guy, both parents died, and he didn't plan to let her be a mercenary. After all, the Void Lord's demand for spellcasters is also high, and if she wanted to, she originally planned to send her to Grandia, where she would definitely be able to develop even better under Master Marlene. But she wholeheartedly followed herself and others to take risks......... Now, too, it's time to wrap up.

"Woo............!!"

And at this time, suddenly a change occurred. The runes that were originally suspended next to the girl, and the runes used to manipulate illusions suddenly began to distort and deform, and Revita's face was also bloody, she gritted her teeth, and supported the runes in front of her, while the others had already retreated to Revita's side at this time, protecting her in it.

"Quick, Livita, activate the badge!!"

"No, my strength seems to be ............ something!!"

"Boom !!"

Before Revita could finish her words, she saw the fiery red flame rhinoceros suddenly explode, and then turned into a large area of flames and spread out in all directions, completely engulfing the undead who could not avoid it. But the flames did not dissipate as before, on the contrary, they moved forward like a tumbling tidal stream, and in the next moment, the bright red and dazzling light suddenly burst out, causing everyone to close their eyes involuntarily.

"Whew............ It's finally back. ”

And at this time, suddenly, a voice appeared in their ears, hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but open their eyes, and then suddenly surprised——— only to see that in the place where the flames broke out just now, suddenly there were more than a hundred people, most of them were wearing strange and strange clothes, but there was a feeling of dust between the eyebrows, and it looked like a long journey. But to the man's surprise, where did these people come from?

"It's not easy..............."

Raising his head and looking at the familiar starry sky in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh. Although it is not difficult to get out of the Burning Plains, it is not easy either. If Maribel hadn't noticed that someone was building a summoning passage between the Dragon Soul Continent and the Burning Fire Plains, and used it, I'm afraid it would have taken a while for Rhodes to return to the Dragon Soul Continent.

"It's finally back..............."

Rod muttered to himself, suppressing the complicated thoughts in his chest, and then he glanced around, and then couldn't help but be stunned.

What's going on with these undead?

"Shhhhh

In the face of Rhodes and the others who suddenly appeared, the undead creatures were also taken aback, and the vampire species led by them shouted angrily. Hearing his order, I saw that the skeleton soldiers no longer hesitated, and rushed forward with their weapons raised, as if they were going to completely engulf everyone like a raging flood.

"Humph!"

Seeing this scene, Rod's face sank.

"Kill them." (To be continued......)
