Chapter 23 Peaceful Settlement (5000 words chapter, ask for votes. )
"It's about half an hour now,....... And so and so....... This way," the leaders of the 203 squads recounted the cause and effect of what had just happened under the pale faces of the elven archers.
After hearing this, Rishi the Brave, Jane the Sword Saint, and Deloris the Sage turned their heads and looked at the elven archer in amazement.
Tsk tsk, are all the adventurers so brave now? I haven't seen these adventurers even dare to rob the army for a few days, and it's really a pity that you don't go to the front line.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know what I was doing, and by the time I looked back, it was too late! The elven archer clutched his head and knelt on the ground and said in pain, "Why did we believe that obviously abnormal heavy armor warrior at that time?!" ”
"They must have been controlled, otherwise it would be impossible for ordinary adventurers to launch such a fierce charge. Just to grab a monster corpse? This is clearly not normal. The sage Deloris analyzed, "Monsters that can control others silently.... Hmm..."
Looking up at the Squad 203 Leader, he asked, "Have you found any suspicious people?" ”
"Suspicious characters?" The leader of the 203 squad recalled the scene of the encirclement and suppression just now, and replied, "There is a heavy armored soldier who suddenly turned into a shadow and fled. ”
"Is there any more specific information? Like looks," the sage Deloris continued.
After all, controlling other people's minds, most of the races on the Chaos side will, and there will be many monsters that turn into a cloud of shadows, but there is a gap in effect. Without a specific look, it is difficult to tell which race it is.
"You go and ask about the Eagle's Nest." The captain commanded the soldier next to him.
He wasn't in charge of the team hunting down the suspicious person, so he didn't know the follow-up information now.
"Yes!" The soldier answered, then turned and ran towards the plane.
After returning to the plane, ask the pilot to turn the communicator back on and start asking his superiors.
"The whole body is pale, can turn into a black shadow, and will reappear every ten seconds, and it is not caught, and it is suspected of using teleportation magic to leave."
After receiving the information, the soldier left the plane and returned to his original position to report on the information he had just received.
"If you can control other people's minds silently and turn into a shadow, and your whole body is still white, then you only have a shadow demon. This Shadow Demon can control nearly 200 adventurers silently, and it seems that his strength is very high. "Sage Deloris quickly analyzed which race it was based on the intelligence.
"If this group of adventurers didn't have this kind of thought, it would not have been possible to control it so easily." The Sword Master also spoke, "As long as there is the slightest trace of evil thoughts, it is easy to be attacked by the Shadow Demon. ”
"Now that the matter has been figured out, he was accidentally controlled by the Shadow Fiend, what are you going to do with him?" Rishi the Brave asked.
Hearing this, the originally desperate elven archer flashed a glimmer of hope.
"Miss Brave, are you trying to intercede for him?" The captain of the 203 squad glanced coldly, the elven archer kneeling on the ground.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, their comrades have been severely injured, and even a few people may die depending on the injury. Since you have done it, you have to pay the price.
"Hahaha, sort of, after all, he's barely innocent." Rishi the Brave showed a sunny smile, which was very warm, and made the elven archers who had been in despair no longer so uneasy.
The captain of Team 203 said coldly, "What if we don't plan to let him go?" ”
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"If you don't let him go...", as the brave man's words came out, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and even the soldiers had already put their hands on the trigger.
"Then I can't help it, whether he is controlled or not, but they did it, this is an indisputable fact."
The atmosphere eased and became less tense than before, and the soldiers took back their hands on the board machine.
"But I still want to save him."
The atmosphere was tense again, and the soldiers put their hands on the board again.
Rishi the Brave cast a pleading look at Deloris the Sage and said, "Delores, help me!" Think of a solution. ”
The sage Deloris rolled her eyes and said, "I knew it would be like this, I thought you had the brains to come up with the best of both worlds." I didn't expect that in the end, I came, don't help, go and go! ”
The brave Rishi clasped his palms together and showed a flattering smile: "Hey, hey, hey, the great, erudite and beautiful sage Delores~, please help me." ”
Seeing that the brave Rishi didn't seem to be going to use force, the atmosphere eased again. Even the soldiers secretly complained: Can't you finish it all at once? We were taken aback.
"Alas, I really can't do anything about you, I like to meddle all day long." The sage Deloris said helplessly.
"Thank you so much, Delores!" Seeing this, Rishi the Brave happily hugged the sage Delores.
"Oh, don't hold me......" Sage Deloris pushed the brave away.
"You!" Hearing her say this, the brave man was not happy at once... But when I thought that I still needed her help, I could only swallow my anger.
The sage Delores took two steps forward and said, "If I heal all those wounded soldiers, can I spare him?" ”
Hearing this, the captain hesitated for a moment, thinking that he should be able to ask his superiors for this matter, if he could cure those soldiers, it didn't matter if he let him go, after all, he had already killed so many in front.
"Wait a minute, we need to ask our superiors." He turned to the soldier and said, "Go and ask your superiors again." ”
"Yes!" The soldier ran to the plane again.
Looking at the back of the soldier, the captain couldn't help complaining: It's inconvenient to have no satellites, and you have to run around.
Two minutes later, the soldier came back and said, "The superior said yes, and now the wounded soldiers are already being sent here." ”
"Yay, that's great! You are saved! Rishi the Brave looked even happier than the elven archer.
The elven archer's experience today can be described as a big ups and downs, and he wept bitterly when he knew that he was saved.
"Woo woo!"
At the same time, the other side of the place where the battle just now.
The huge monster corpse has been pulled away by two helicopters, and the wounded soldiers have been separated from the two gunships and are returning to the base.
At this time, they had been injected with a large amount of anesthetic and fell asleep, and their bodies were simply bandaged and disinfected.
After bandaging the last soldier, the medic noticed that the plane was starting to turn around and head in the opposite direction of the base, and couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing?" Now they must return to the base as soon as possible, so that they can operate on them. ”
"The order from above is to send these wounded to Team 203, where there is a magician who can heal them all."
"Huh?"
..........
Twenty minutes later, the helicopter gunship arrived at the location of the brave team, and the plane slowly landed.
Then the hatch opened, and the soldiers wrapped in bandages were carried down.
"It's really badly injured, it's almost burned." Rishi the Brave looked at the elven archers, "Your hands are really heavy! ”
"It's mainly the fireball technique of those magicians," the elven archer shook his head repeatedly, he didn't carry this pot, he only shot a few bows and arrows in the back at most, and all of them were blocked by the hard armor of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.
Could it be that after all the wounded soldiers were lifted out and laid flat on the ground, the sage Deloris stepped forward and put his hand on top of one of the soldiers, looked up his eyes, and said softly: "Healing!" ”
The next moment, a little green light flashed from her white palm, which fell on the soldier and then disappeared. At first glance, these rays make people feel that they are full of life, as if they have a fragrance of nature.
As the green light continued to enter the soldier's body, a miraculous scene occurred, and the burns on the soldier's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye until they returned to normal, less than five seconds before and after.
The medics who watched this wave of operations wondered if it was time for them to switch careers to learn magic, and they solved the deep second-degree burns so easily. I feel that if I don't study magic anymore, they will be unemployed when the country recruits magicians in the future.
The soldiers who had been watching noticed one thing, the sage didn't need to chant a spell to release his magic.
This discovery alarmed the team leader, whose greatest advantage against the mage was that they could kill them while they were chanting. Now that there is suddenly a magician who can cast magic without chanting spells, and that magician will become a movable super turret, which makes him very jealous.
After healing the soldier, the sage Deloris walked over to the next soldier, put her hand on it again, and used the healing technique.
In this way, under his treatment, the burns on the body of the soldiers disappeared at the speed of the naked eye.
"Miss Rishi, doesn't Miss Delores need to chant a spell to release her magic?" The captain inquired.
"Hmm...," Reich the Brave pondered for a moment, and replied, "It seems that I have never seen Delores chant incantations, and sometimes she doesn't even call her name, and with a flick of her staff like this, several spells come out." ”
Rishi the Brave used the holy sword as a staff and demonstrated it to Captain 203.
"The reason why Deloris is called a sage is because she can not shout any spells, as long as she reads it in her heart, she can instantly release magic, which is the legendary high magic affinity." The Sword Master Jane explained, and then added, "Of course, there are some high-level magic that still needs to be chanted. ”
Before Captain 203 could sigh, the brave man said with a look of surprise: "Alas? It turns out that Delores is so powerful, I don't even know. ”
After the brave man said this, the scene fell silent, and the sage Delores, who was concentrating on healing, was so angry that his shoulders began to tremble.
The lethality of Rishi's words was obviously very great to the sage Delores.
She was quite proud of her possession of the legendary High Magic Affinity. But since encountering this hanging, her pride has been trampled on by the brave Rishi.
Now the only thing she can be proud of is that her breasts are bigger than this anvil brave.
After 75.288 seconds, the sage Deloris had treated all the wounded soldiers, but they did not wake up due to the anesthetic injections.
The soldiers carried the treated soldiers onto the plane in order, and then took off and returned to the base.
"Miss Rishi, Miss Delores, Miss Jane, then we will say goodbye." After giving a military salute, Team 203 turned around and boarded the helicopter gunship in an orderly manner.
Click, click, click!
After all the soldiers of the Eastern Xia Kingdom left, the sense of crisis that had been hanging over the three of them disappeared.
"Sure enough, this sense of crisis comes from the Eastern Xia Kingdom? Sure enough, you can't underestimate this alchemy empire. Sword Saint Jane put away her single-edged long sword, and a deep fear flashed in her eyes.
Since she was born, she has never experienced such a strong sense of crisis, and just now she seemed to be dying on the spot in the next second.
After seeing them leave, the brave Rishi said regretfully: "I really want to sit on it and try it, it's not because I have a mission, I want to go back with them to see what the alchemy empire is like?" ”
"This flying machine is really interesting, it can fly without any magic." Sage Delores said. "And what is it that keeps our hearts pounding? I really want to see it when I have time. ”
"Let's go, we have to continue to investigate, what kind of conspiracy and tricks are the Chaos side going to do."
"Let's go!"
The three of them walked into the woods and disappeared, leaving the elven archers in place, looking confused.
At the same time, the underground ruins of the City of Water.
A group of 100 knights with copper oil lamps walked through the underground ruins. They constantly tap the floor with their swords, drawing the surrounding goblins through their sounds, and then killing them.
With the cooperation of 100 heavily armored knights, not a single goblin can do any damage to them.
"I don't understand why His Majesty wants us to come here to clean the goblins in the sewers?" Knight Zero shook off the blood from his blade, "Just leave the goblins to those adventurers, and let us play." ”
"Alright, stop complaining. Let's go out for a drink after finishing it early. The companion next to him comforted.
Due to the butterfly effect, the appearance of the Eastern Xia Kingdom made Glaslan III not refuse the request of the Sword Saintess as in the original plot, but agreed to send troops to clean up the underground ruins of the Water City.
After clearing this area, the knights began to shift their positions to the next area.
"In other words, the ruins of this water city are really big." A knight stands on the bridge and points to the drain below. "This drain is too wide, looking at this width and depth, it can accommodate a ship to sail."
"Indeed."
Bang blah
Suddenly, there was a strange sound of water in the distance, and the knights cast their eyes on it.
A large wooden ship sped down the drain, filled with goblins. This group of goblins was very different from the goblins they had encountered before, each of them wore weapons, some were armed with round shields and scimitars, some were armed with spears, and even there were at least two dozen archers on them, and they were exceptionally well prepared.
"Goblins! Draw your sword! ”
All the knights drew their silver-white swords at their waists and took on a stance, ready to fight.
At this moment, the bearded one-eyed goblin sitting in front of the rudder waved his hand, "Ahh ”
Hearing the order, the goblin archers shot their bows and arrows and flew towards the Knights.
Woohoo blah blah!
"How can a goblin have archers?!"
All the knights were shocked, they couldn't understand why a group of goblins had such complete equipment.
The only thing to be thankful for is that their bows and arrows are rough enough to pierce the knights' armor.
Jingling! Jingling! Jingling! Jingling!
Goblin arrows kept clinking and clanging at them, and while these workouts couldn't really hurt them, they still wore down their precious armor. And now they don't have a long-range weapon to fight back, and they are extremely aggrieved.
"The ship is coming, you guys jump on it and kill them! Be careful, don't make a mistake, or no one will save you if you fall into the water. ”
Since they knew they were going to enter the underground ruins, they didn't carry the archers, so now they had to jump on the boat to deal with the goblins.
A dozen knights saw the opportunity and jumped down on the goblin ship.
"Kill!" More than a dozen heavily armored knights drew their long swords, formed a formation, and cooperated with each other to strangle the goblins on the ship.
The more than 100 goblins on the ship did not cause much damage to them, and it was natural that the Knights of their Kingdom were all bronze adventurers in their own strength.
If you cooperate with the battle formation, 10 knights can even reach the strength of the silver adventurer, and the gold adventurer needs 300 knights to cooperate.
In a short time, the goblins on the ship had been killed, and the dozen or so knights were not harmed except for a little dirty on their bodies.
"Hurry up and get the boat to the shore."
Under the control of the knights, the ship finally came to shore, and one by one the knights jumped from the boat.
At this moment, the water of the drain suddenly began to surge wildly, and a huge white crocodile jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the boat in half. Even the two knights who didn't have time to get off the ship were also eaten into their stomachs.
"Ahh
"It's a swamp dragon! All hands retreated. All the knights put away their swords and began to run.
"Why is there everything in this sewer?! First there were goblins who could drive ships, and now they even have swamp dragons! ”
You may be able to fight a dozen in the swamp outside, but in the narrow, watery terrain of the drainage channel, no number of knights are enough to fight this swamp dragon.
The huge white crocodile leaped out of the water again, opened her bloody jaw, and two more knights entered its belly.
"Don't!"
Every time a crocodile jumps out of the water, it eats at least one knight.
In the end, probably because he was full, the marsh dragon did not attack the knights again. The Knights, who had suffered heavy losses, withdrew from the underground ruins, and the original hundred knights became 58.
The news quickly spread in the City of Water, and all the residents of the City of Water began to become frightened, after all, even the Knights could not solve it, so you can imagine what a terrifying monster there is underground.
