Chapter 25: Broken Ridge II

Shen Yan felt a little ...... Embarrassed.

He didn't expect the bearded captain to die like this.

Shen Yan looked down at the person in front of him, a mixture of temperaments such as responsibility, exhaustion and courage appeared on this person, although it was still a short time, he already looked like a good guy! Compared with the impulsive and cunning young man Shen Yan met a few days ago, it can be said that they have become two completely different people...... War does have the power to change people's hearts.

"How can I help?"

If it was another team, Shen Yan would leave directly, there were 20 legions scattered in this area, and he couldn't help him. Besides, his purpose today is not honorable...... The outpost battle that lasted for more than ten days must have killed a large number of demons, and he came to pick up corpses. But since you have met an "acquaintance", I still want to ask more.

"Really? Thank you so much! ”

Acne ...... Well, let's call him that, Acne didn't expect that the mage he had offended would be so easy to talk to, and he was overjoyed. He pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Can you ...... Burn these corpses to set their souls free? We don't want the bodies of our comrades to be eaten by the devil, or the souls to be desecrated and resurrected as demons. May I? Please! ”

"Yes, yes!" Shen Yan readily agreed, "Then you will ...... first" Shen Yan stopped and laughed self-deprecatingly.

This is a short circuit in his brain, and the twenty people in front of him can't even stand steadily, how can they have the strength to move the corpses of more than 200 comrades-in-arms out of the pile of corpses. Speaking out serves no purpose other than making them feel guilty.

"Then dust to dust, dust to dust." Shen Yan said.

His hand drew in a circle around him, and the corpses of the battlefield crumbled and collapsed into white ash under his gesture. After the system was stripped away, his maneuver and his own abilities were less separatored. After some hard training, he became more proficient with the Ember Burning Technique, allowing him to perform more microscopic manipulation.

He can do it by turning the demon's soul and all the corpses into ashes, and releasing the human soul into the river of souls.

"Do you want to retreat? There are no enemies in the direction from which I came for the time being. Shen Yan pointed to the ring hanging around the pimple's neck, and there were still people waiting for him to go back.

“…… No, that's where we're stationed. "Pimples refuse.

"We can't evacuate first, His Majesty the Emperor is still ahead!"

*****

The emperor is still ahead, this is the most resolute reason for the whole front to hold on!

Shen Yan could only ride his horse and leave on the white snow.

On the way he came, countless such embers had been left behind. It wasn't until he left the field of vision of the position that Shen Yan slightly restrained the Phantom Pony and asked, "Penny, you say...... Is the emperor really in front? ”

The answer, of course, was a cold "Hmph!" Shen Yan has been used to this kind of answer for a few days, and he can even hear the specific meaning of Penny from the tone, intensity, and ascending tone of this word, you say it is strange or not.

"Well, since my lovely Penny is so unhappy, I'll make it clear to Michelle when I get back. Tell her that I'm not Laurel, but absorbing fragments of his memories...... If you apologize sincerely, you will definitely be able to get her forgiveness. Shen Yan said with an oath.

"Don't be stupid......" Penny was helpless, but spoke anyway.

Because this bastard is not just talking, he can really do it - in the more than a year that has been with him, Penny has seen many times how Shen Yan did a big death. There seems to be some kind of "push the limit, I'll definitely have a way" death gene in his body......

It's like "a stone attracts the legendary Red Dragon Warlock", which is just a basic operation.

Penny was sure that if she still didn't answer, Shen Yan would really make it clear to Michelle. Then when the level 30 master was furious and wanted to crush him, he came up with other operations to save the day...... Maybe it'll be in bed again!

Actually, Michelle really can't see it? She is a level 30 druid, hundreds of years of experience, and a strong person who has been poor and has fallen into the Yellow Springs. But from Michelle's point of view, whether it is memory devouring or soul devouring, Shen Yan did appear with the traces of laurel, which is not wrong. It is exactly in line with the prophecy of the white cypress bird that she has been waiting for hundreds of years - "Ring the city, demons swarming, swan world, bronze fortress - not even a word!"

Most importantly, Shen Yan is a person who is far better than Yue Gui - both for her and for the world.

Isn't that enough?

Thinking about these intricate relationships really makes Penny feel so tired, she wants to stay at home for tens of thousands of years without going out, and the host doesn't cause trouble.

She had forgotten that when the Lady of Huancheng was in the house for tens of thousands of years, who had to drive the Gundam...... No, he went out in armor and tossed around. Who does Shen Yan's tossing personality come from? Who is silently influencing his life in his dreams? Do you still need to name it?

"Penny, it's great that you're finally willing to speak!" Shen Yan's hanging heart can always be put down.

"Can I do it if I don't speak? You're planning with that woman to rob the treasury, and you don't know what's going to happen next. Penny's tone was full of resentment.

Everyone has their own plans, and Shen Yan has too. Michelle had no plans of her own, but she obeyed Shen Yan's words - for example, Shen Yan said that instead of the materials stored in the fortress being divided among the thieves, it was better for him to use them to help the orphans.

Michelle immediately agreed, not only did she steal the layout of the fortress herself, but also actively prepared several large space items, ready to sweep away the ordnance materials in the fortress! Leave nothing for them!

Never leave it to the devil, and it won't let those nobles embezzle! Of course, after that batch of abyssal iron went around in a circle, it would naturally return to Shen Yan's hands.

"Penny, are you going to help?" Shen Yan asked cautiously.

"Of course!" Penny patted her chest proudly, "Your plan is full of holes...... In fact, the foundation around the city was dug by those guys back then, and I know how to open it! It's too troublesome to move all the things, so first transfer them to the secret passage and hide them, and it won't break anyway. ”

Well, that's foolproof.

The trio of thieves is officially formed.

"In that case," Shen Yan looked at the large group of demons that had reappeared in the distance. "Let's go and see if the emperor is really in front!"

Shen Yan rode his horse, and the Phantom Pony galloped along the cliffs of Broken Ridge.

*****

Since the last time he was pitted by the six-legged wildebeest when he fought the boss, Shen Yan understood that as a magic professional, it was better to use a magic mount. He has a horn from the temple and can summon the Phantom Pony.

It's a bit strange for a four-legged horse to appear in this world, but in addition to not being able to fly, the Phantom Pony can run freely on any terrain (water, cliffs, treetops), and completely follow the magician's wishes, and can break into the sword mountain and fire without changing his face.

If necessary, you can also help the magician block the sword, even if the horse is killed, wait for the horn to be charged and summon it again, it can't be better!

What Shen Yan had to do today was to navigate through the cracks of thousands of demons, and a reliable magic mount was his best choice.

The further south you go, the more dense the demons appear...... There are even a wide variety of demon groups with tens of thousands of numbers and the establishment of a basic ruling order! That's right, the demons only start to catch the little demons when they arrive at the location, and the small demons catch the animals to form a legion, and the previous marches are all ducks......

Along the way, Shen Yan also saw more than one blocking position—but it was already occupied by demons, and there were no survivors. A large number of spider demon corpses and legionnaires were left in front of each position...... No wonder I didn't see the shadow of the spider demon along the way, it is estimated that this breed has been wiped out by the empire!

Among the hundreds of thousands of demons who arrived in advance, the spider demon was specially singled out and slaughtered - Made, the empire is quite ruthless!

Shen Yan felt a little admired, these things can only be envied by a lone ranger, only big forces can do it.

After going deep into the Shattered Ridge, there were already some demons trying to resurrect the corpses of soldiers into demons - but when Shen Yan galloped by, everything was reduced to ashes that could not be eaten or desecrated!

The demon could only roar angrily at Shen Yan's back, watching that back disappear.
