188, Blood Crow
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to disturb you." Antiope stepped forward and bowed deeply.
Zheng Yi said: "Andy, we don't have to be so polite to each other. ”
Antiope smiled happily, pulled the wounded man on the side, and said:
"Your Excellency, I'm going to go with Peggy and the others to the place where bones are buried, and I've found a good helper. He used his shield beautifully, but his leg was wounded. I beg you to give me your kindness......"
For Zheng Yi who has this level of injury, he doesn't care much about blue consumption. With a wave of his hand, he cast the healing spell and the exorcism of the disease, and the shield-wielding master, who was favored by Antiope, kicked his leg incredulously, exclaiming:
"Thank you! Your Excellency, Sage! I'm totally fine! ”
"Lucky fellow, you only paid the price of one silver coin." Antiope reminded him.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you, Andy. I'm going to get my gear on! He touched the outside of his thigh, where there was a long, deep wound that had severed the tendon.
Antiope said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, I can be much safer now." ”
"He's a good guy, he's just a little bit away from Sequence 7." Zheng Yi glanced at the man's spirit body.
Antiop smiled. She knew that the Bones Ground was never a place for outings, and that Peggy might have some crazy adventures to improve her feats. If you are able to bring one more Sequence 7 fighter, the higher the mission success rate.
"The car is ready to go, Your Excellency."
Zheng Yi looked up, and Lu Xingniao had two trailers hung behind him.
He was responsible for bringing the ten members of Peggy's team, plus Green, Antiop, Rutherford, and their team of ten to the Black Pines on the outskirts of the Grand Abbey.
After parting there, Peggy and her team march five kilometers north to the place where the bones are buried. Zheng Yi led Elle's team to continue twenty kilometers east into the mountains.
The headquarters of the Blind Sisters was in the mountains to the east and was known as the "Great Abbey". In Zheng Yi's opinion, Blackstone Fort is really not a suitable place to be stationed. If you want to find a stable and difficult to defend base, it seems that the only way to do this is to build a large monastery.
In Rog's team, only the scouts are qualified to ride horses. Because all three of Ellie's team were scouts, and they rode on Lord Sage's chocobos, Kashya assigned their three horses to Peggy. Peggy is just a regular team member and doesn't have a mount of her own.
Three horses and Rutherford's own mount galloped after the chocobos, with two breaks in between, and it took two hours to reach the black pine forest.
Zheng Yi clicked on the astronaut's watch and looked at the driving distance: 58 kilometers.
They took a shortcut from the light car, so fast. If you want to bring a water cannon, the distance from Blackstone Fort will be about seventy kilometers.
Then we have to continue twenty kilometers into the mountains.
The whole journey required three days of marching, there were no well-repaired roads, and there were no suitable places for large troops to spend the night along the way. This is a great headache for surgeons with no military experience. What made him even more troubled was that the Rogers also lacked experience in large army operations.
As you can see from the name "Rog", they are good at guerrilla warfare. Because "Rogge" means "Wandering Ranger".
After arriving at the black pine forest, Zheng Yi and the explorers removed the trailer. After casting the divine blessing on everyone, Zheng Yi rode the landing bird and took Ellie, Constance, and Tracy to the outskirts of the Great Abbey. Peggy and Antiop will take two squads to the Bones Place.
Not long after the two teams separated, they encountered the demons that roamed the vicinity of the Bone Ground, and quickly entered the fight. Because of the blessing effect, the walking corpses and skeletons in Sequence 7 have become much more vulnerable, and Peggy and Antiop race forward.
Soon the yellow-black surface became gloomy, and as we got closer to the cemetery, the black fog that emerged from the ground became thicker and thicker.
Rutherford Cook was horrified, but fortunately Antiop did not break his oath and held his left flank with a convoy of escorts. On the right flank is the main squad led by the shields of Peggy and Luke Stexis Knight, responsible for facing the demons that rush towards them.
Rutherford Cook was depressed and completely unaware of his role in such a battle. Aside from chanting prayers aloud, he could only watch Rog lead the explorers into battle with the monsters. He saw that the squad was sometimes lined up in a vertical formation, and sometimes in a horizontal formation, and he had no idea the reason for the change in formation.
There must have been a reason why the Sage allowed him to come, but where?
"Be careful! Priest! ”
Antiop stood in front of Rutherford Cook, raising his spear and stabbing it into the ground.
Beneath the black mist that spread to his calves, a skeleton lurked, only two steps away from Rutherford.
Rutherford's heart raced, and he almost stepped into the skeleton's mouth. He chanted a prayer aloud and stepped back slowly, his back colliding with Santis, and both master and servant let out a scream at the same time.
Peggy glanced at Rutherford coldly and said to Green Blanche behind her:
"Green, you stand by the priest to protect him."
Knowing that his friend was concerned about her safety, Green leaned over to Rutherford. As soon as she moved, a black shadow flew in the distance.
It was a flying arrow full of blasphemous power.
Boom!
Peggy instinctively raised her shield to block it, and then her face turned terrified.
The sheer force lifted her straight away, almost lifting her feet off the ground.
The explorer behind her hurriedly pushed her against her shoulder.
Luke quickly took a sideways step, blocking the gap behind Peggy's absence, and his sword in both hands was diagonal, ready to slash at any moment.
In the black mist, a figure slowly walked out.
Unlike ordinary demons, it basically retains its human form. Feet straight and barely on the ground. Rogge's style can be vaguely seen in the armor skirt and bandeau top, but further up is a huge sheep-headed skeleton, completely obscuring the head.
"Let's indulge." Fallen Rog whispered, the sound waves piercing through the air, vibrating in everyone's eardrums.
"Blood Raven!" Rutherford Cook cried out in terror.
"Get out!" Peggy steadied herself and shouted.
"Didn't you come to me? Isn't it your pleasure to sneak around and kill some walking corpses and skeletons every time? ”
With every step Rog Rog takes, Peggy and Antiop have to take a step back.
"Young Rogge, why do I see you so familiar? Have we met? Fallen Rogge said.
"Morena......" Peggy whispered, "you should be asleep in the cemetery." ”
"What a nostalgic name." Rog the Fallen chuckled softly, "You have awakened not only me, but even greater beings have awakened from their slumber because of you. Now, as one of the first guests when I wake up, I can make an exception and play with you. ”
