Chapter 176: Being Tracked Up

"Take my seal to the Ares Wings Legion, and tell Captain Stephen that I need him to help me with a reconnaissance battalion to search for important suspects, and at the same time have them send griffon knights to search along the river, and make sure to find the magician just now, who lives and dies. I didn't believe that the meat in his mouth could make him grow wings and fly. โ€

After sending one of his men to the Sheriff's Office for assistance, Turner called another of his men and commanded. The waterway of the moat of Lua City is connected to the river outside, and if Eren escapes, it is very likely that he will go out along the river, although this road is very long, and there is a gate in the middle, but Eren is not an ordinary magician, maybe there is a way to do it, so Turner decided to expand the search area, but he brought too few men, and these people are not good at tracking, so they can only ask for help from the Templar Knights stationed nearby, they are equipped with scouts who are responsible for tracking the enemy's tracks, and together with the Griffin Knights, the opponent will have nothing to hide. However, under normal circumstances, the soldiers of the Knights Templar are not something that any Templar can mobilize, but fortunately, Turner is on the mission of escorting the Holy Lady this time, carrying a special seal of the Holy See, and in case of emergency, he can call in nearby Holy See troops and guards for support at any time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is a forested valley located more than forty miles north of the city of Lua. It was midnight, and the woods were so quiet that there weren't even any insects chirping, except for the wind blowing above the canopy, and there was a rustling of leaves, which accentuated the silence of the forest. A breeze blew, the branches swayed, and the shadows cast by the moonlight on the ground through the canopy kept changing, and the trees became shadowy because of this change of light, as if countless figures were hidden behind these trees.

However, if there is a person with good night vision, you may be able to see that there is really a person between the two branches of a tall ancient tree, and this person is riding between the branches, leaning against this section of the trunk, as if he is asleep. The breeze shook the branches around the man, a leaf swaying wider, sweeping across his face, the man frowning, and then opened his eyes.

"Oops!"

Before the man could see his surroundings clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and he couldn't help but reach out his right hand and press it on his temple. It took him a while to feel the pain dissipate a little, and he was ready to adjust his posture, he had been motionless for an unknown amount of time, and now most of his body was numb, so he stretched out his left hand, trying to support the opposite tree trunk, but as soon as his arm moved, there was another tearing pain, he had to stop, and then with his right hand ripped open the robe on his left shoulder, where the robe had been torn with a large hole, and it was covered with dried blood. The wound under the robe was a penetrating wound, and the arrow was shot in from behind, the tip of which peeked through the front.

"Alas!"

Looking at the black wound under the open skin, this person couldn't help but think of the tragic experience of the past two days, and sighed.

This man who was seriously injured was Alan. Two days ago, after falling into the river with the Earth Guardian Magic Array, he was in a coma and suddenly woke up with a cold sensation, it turned out that the river water had infiltrated through the magic cover and wet his body.

Alen, who came to his senses, didn't bother to check his injuries, and hurriedly used the water separation magic to drive away the cold and biting river water around him, otherwise he would not wait for him to escape, but he was afraid that he would freeze to death here, and then he used the water resistance technique to drive the magic cover to start moving underwater.

Alan used his sensitive mental power to carefully detect the changes in the water flow, accurately avoided going into the water to search for his enemies, and then went upstream according to the direction of the detected water flow. Since there were people searching underwater, there must be more people watching on the shore, so Alan didn't dare to go ashore near the moat, consistent with Turner's conjecture, he wanted to enter the river connected to the moat first, and then find a hidden river bank to land.

I don't know how far he has gone underwater, Alan only feels colder and colder, and his head hurts more and more, he used to find and catch the murderer in the process, the old injury has shown signs of recurrence, and now the head has been hit violently, the injury has become more and more serious, and finally he chose to go ashore before he couldn't hold on.

It seemed that the enemy had not caught up, and Alan emerged from the water and looked around, and the shore was a meadow, and the grass was empty, and there was no one except for some artemisia grass.

Alan breathed a sigh of relief, and emerged from the river and lay down on the dry grass, which was past noon, and the sun was slanting on him, finally making him feel warm.

It should be far away from Lua City, at least standing on the bank of the river, you can't see the tall walls of Lua City.

After resting for a while, Allen, who felt more comfortable, began to judge his position in order to decide the direction of his next move, and he did not dare to meet Steven now, so he could only choose to flee in the direction away from Lua City. But before Alan could figure out where he was, suddenly a dark shadow flashed in the sky in the distance, and a griffin knight appeared there.

The appearance of the griffin knight startled Allen, and he wanted to hide, but there was no place to hide in the flat grass nearby. In order to avoid the griffon's search, Eren could only jump into the river again, but it was too late, Alan's body had just been soaked again, and the griffin in the sky had already let out a terrible chirp, followed by the spread of its wings, and flew in the direction of Alan.

"Bastard!"

Alan cursed, the depth of the river here is not as deep as the moat, and the water quality is relatively clear, if he is targeted by the griffin knight, he will have nowhere to hide, so Alan climbed out of the river again, and ran towards the hillside not far away, the mountain is high and dense, and it is easier to escape the enemy's tracking.

"Wow!"

As soon as Alan got into the woods, there was a dog barking in the direction of the river bank in the distance, and the enemy not only used his heavenly eyes, but also his nose on the ground was also moving in sync, and it seemed that he was bound to win it.

Alan thought depressedly as he fled. And the fact is just as Alan expected, in the next two days, the opponent in the sky and the earth simultaneously tracked Allen, and Allen has been using the cover of the woods to get rid of the opponent, and he has used soundproof stealth magic, these can fool the human senses, but the keen nose of the hound carried by the tracker has made his disguise repeatedly recognized, Alan can only fight with the enemy, while running forward aimlessly, fortunately, the strongest of these people who are tracking him is only the senior swordsman, and the great swordsman Turner is not among them, otherwise he may not be able to hold on to the enemy againใ€‚ Unbeknownst to Allen, Turner was also in an unprecedented mess the morning after searching him.
