Volume 3 The Walker in the Dark Ninety-Seven, Fierce Fight
The big carriage quietly entered the camp under the moon, and suddenly forty or fifty people from the tents ran to the periphery of the camp to guard, and a ball of fire flew out of the central tent, circled the camp, lit countless torches, and illuminated the area within a radius of 100 meters. Minna and the others were secretly surprised, and when they looked back at the carriage, they couldn't find it.
Luma said softly: "I noticed just now, there were three people in the car, all covered with black cloaks, men and women are unknown - they can't see clearly from so far away. β
The young man whose fiancΓ©e had disappeared said with some anxiety: "Then let's take a closer look." In fact, we should have gone to save people a long time ago, why wait for this big man to come?! What if something happens to Arsina during this time?! β
Minna glanced at him: "I was the only one before, it was impossible to save so many people, after you came, that big man is also about to arrive, those people are very concerned about the situation outside, we are in danger of being discovered even if we get closer, let alone enter." β
"But I'm here to save Arsina!" The young man gritted his teeth and said, "If something happens to her, I'll come in vain!" β
"It's not going to be life-threatening." Minna turned her head and continued to stare into the distance.
"How do you know?!"
Minna quickly glanced at him: "Do you think I didn't do anything the first two days?!" I've gone in and seen that they got so many young men and women to come here for some kind of ceremony! I've seen their ritual utensils, and there are no murder weapons, but it's very likely that they will bleed. A few men were talking in private, and when the big man left, their chief would sell the boys and girls, and they would discuss which beautiful one could be sold for a high price, and which one with good figure could find an opportunity to touch a few handfuls. even tasted the taste, but was heard by their team leader and scolded him, saying that important goods should not be touched casually, otherwise they would not be able to sell at a high price. After hearing these words, what do you think will happen to your Arsina?! β
The young man shrunk his neck, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Even if they don't do anything to her, as long as they feed her that kind of mushroom, then... Then everything I did was in vain! β
Minna said lightly: "If you're referring to the kind of water that makes people lose their memories and become completely submissive to others. Don't worry, I've already done my hands and feet in the pot of boiling leaves, and now the effect of the leaves is only one day, and the person who takes the leaves will return to normal after one day. β
The youth rejoiced. I was a little puzzled: "Why do you need a day of effect?" It would be nice to just replace it with fake land. When it comes time to save people later, what if Alsina drinks and is disobedient? β
As soon as he said this, he said. Everyone turned to look at him. Only then did he realize that he had said something stupid. Little Duras secretly gritted his teeth: "Domin. Shut up! Domit blushed and buried his head. I didn't dare to say anything more. Little Duras coughed lightly. Ask Minna in as gentle and friendly a tone as possible, "You did something in the house." The enemy won't find out, right? β
"No, it won't. The smell and appearance of the water are all the same. Only the taste will be a little sweeter. Minna sneered. All are inexperienced. And the guy who boiled the water... He won't taste it himself. Even if you taste it. There is nothing wrong with his tongue! β
She hadn't thought about it before. That evil water was actually made by the one in the camp of Turi. The fire only burned half of his face. I didn't want his life. Before, she tried not to arouse suspicion. I couldn't help but do it. Maybe tonight. She could make amends for this regretful event.
Luma suddenly warned: "There are clouds moving this way!" Wait a moment for the clouds to obscure the moon. We took the opportunity to approach the camp. Look for an opportunity to dive
Minna nodded. But one of the Security Service officers disagreed: "A few of us are fine. But all of them sneaked in. It seems too rash. Let's wait for the carriage to leave. At that time, the security around the camp will be much weaker. β
Another declining aristocratic young man retorted, "Are we just letting go of the people on the carriage?!" β
Minna thought for a moment. He said, "Why don't I go and see it first." If it's okay, you can pick a few more good guys to come in. Others are on the outside to answer? β
"I must go!" Domit spoke first, and the young man echoed, and everyone in the Security Department looked at each other without responding.
Little Duras coughed lightly and proposed, "Why don't we find a way to create a mess and distract the guards?" Like burning tents? It seemed like a small oasis, the water source was limited, and they must have been afraid of fire. β
"Sand can also extinguish fires." Minna said, "And this is not an oasis, there is no water source, and the water is transmitted from other places through the magic array. After a pause, she looked at Luma, "But it's a good idea to create chaos and distract from it." β
Luma nodded knowingly, pointing to the sky, and Minna and the others found that the clouds had blocked the moonlight for some time, so they hurriedly bent down and walked quickly and quietly towards the camp. The aristocratic young men glanced at each other and tiptoed to follow.
They slowly approached the perimeter of the camp, behind a small pile of sandstone. Minna and her colleagues communicated with each other with near-inaudible voices and gestures, and soon made a plan to infiltrate the ground based on what they saw of the garrison.
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the camp, and Domit, who had been quiet, jumped up violently: "It's Arsina!" Arsina! He broke free from little Duras, who was trying to stop him, and rushed straight to the camp with his broadsword, where he was immediately spotted by the guards. Luma whispered "damn" and hurriedly followed.
Minna ran behind, a little uneasy in her heart, she still thought that those teenagers and girls would not encounter danger, if something happened to that girl, it was not her misjudgment?
The group broke into the camp and quickly fought the guards. The people who came to the Security Department were all skilled people, and they had solved a lot of guards with knives in their hands, and a few aristocratic young people such as Little Duras, although their martial arts skills were a little worse, their swordsmanship was quite skilled, and it took a long time to put down five or six people. With a sword stab, Domint stabbed the guards who were holding him back, and rushed straight towards the tent where the screams were heard. Luma led the men to follow. She gave Minna a look, and she immediately disappeared into the shadows and turned in the other direction.
She avoided the locals in the camp, followed a few unlit torches, touched the central tent, lit the torches with fireballs, and threw them at a tent on the side. There was probably a master of magic in the big tent in the center, and she didn't plan to risk it, so she retreated as soon as she was done and waited for the enemy to find her. She had reached the other side, threw a few more torches, and set the tent on both sides. Twenty or thirty women and two or three men ran out of the tent in a panic, but there were no big people inside. Looking at the tent that was burning more and more and more and the big tent in the center next to it that was about to burn, Minna couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the magician do it?
She re-disappeared into the darkness and hurried back. From a distance, Domint and Duras Jr. were seen entering a tent, while Luma and the others stopped the enemy who was catching up. Minna gritted her teeth, seeing that they could still hold on, and decided to continue with the plan she had made earlier.
She lit fires everywhere in the camp, causing the people in the camp to be busy fighting the fire and catching intruders at the same time, and there was a moment of chaos, people running around, and even those who accidentally fell were trampled on by their companions. They quarreled with each other again. Minna smiled and turned west, intending to light another fire, but was stunned to find that the tent there was already burning. Is there a colleague helping her? There's no reason for it, it's her mission.
She suddenly remembered that the fallen demon master lived in the tent to the west, and narrowed her eyes. So he ran to that side, and when he was still one or twenty meters away from the tent, he suddenly saw the felt door of the tent be lifted, and a man ran out, his whole body shrouded in black, and even his head was wrapped in strips of cloth, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
As soon as the man saw Minna's disguised boy, he pulled out the knife in his hand and slashed at "him", and Minna turned into an ice sword to block it. The arm shook violently. She secretly complained in her heart, thinking that this person must be the master of the enemy. It's not that easy to deal with. And the man, after seeing the Ice Sword in Minna's hand, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the two made a few more moves, Minna's strength was slightly weaker, and she gradually fell behind, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on, and suddenly became alert, and hurriedly avoided the oncoming knife of the other party, and rolled away on the spot, and heard a few dings, and there were a few more silver lights on the ground where she was originally standing. She looked in the direction of the attack by the silver light, only to see a shadow that was also completely black "floating" over, and a black sword in her hand, I don't know what material it was made of, the black crow's, but it could reflect a strange light.
The man didn't continue attacking Minna, but stopped and nodded at the man from before, who immediately followed him away. Minna watched in amazement as they disappeared into the firelight, when she heard screams from the tent behind her, and rushed in.
In the tent, the fallen magician covered the right side of his face, and blood kept flowing from his fingertips, and Minna knew at a glance that he must have been injured on his face, and looking at his staggering appearance, reaching out and touching it, it was not possible that there was something wrong with his eyes. She felt a burst of happiness in her heart, snorted coldly, and was about to turn around and leave.
Hearing that cold snort, the Demon Master asked in a hoarse voice, "Is that you?!" Are you still there?! You bastard! Devil! With that, he lunged at Minna. Minna kicked him away in disgust, and he involuntarily stumbled a few steps backwards into the center of the tent, only to crash into the cauldron boiling over the fire, and almost the whole pot fell on him, causing him to scream in pain, and the skin on his body hissed and fell piece by piece.
Minna froze, is this person crazy? How can you boil such dangerous water?! If she's not mistaken, it's corrosive, right? Seeing him convulsing in pain, becoming a blur of flesh and blood in just a few tens of seconds, she didn't want to look any further, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the tent.
Another scream rang out in the camp, and Minna recognized it as Domit's voice, and her heart sank, and she hurried to the tent where he was.
Outside the tent there were already corpses lying in wait, and Minna was shocked to find that two of the corpses were wriggling, and the blood spilled next to them was strangely slowly approaching the body, and the same phenomenon was seen when looking at the others. What's going on?! Before she had time to think about it, she immediately sent out a fireball to ignite these "corpses", and as the blood evaporated, ** scorched, and the "corpses" no longer wriggled. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Minna rushed into the tent.
The situation in the tent was very different from what she had imagined, and as soon as she entered, she saw seventeen or eighteen women lying on the ground, covered in blood, and Domit was crying with one of the unconscious girls in her arms, while beside him, little Duras and Lumar, all the others before them, were staring blankly ahead, and did not react at all.
Minna followed their gaze and saw three people sitting at the other end of the carpet, led by a man with a black cloak from head to toe, with only one chin exposed, pale skin, and a small curve at the corners of his mouth, but for some reason it gave people a cold feeling. The one on the right hand is the black-clothed messenger I have seen, and the woman on the left-hand side is also wearing a black dress and black cloak, but it can be seen that her figure is extremely graceful, and behind the black se veil faintly reveals a peerless appearance, revealing a pair of light purple se beautiful eyes, like a clear spring water, which can make people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
Minna was a little dazed, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't look at her eyes!" Luma came to her senses first, hurriedly turned her head away, and reached out to shake the others: "Wake up!" β
Seeing that everyone was still a little confused on their faces, Minna had already reacted, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stared closely at the veil of the woman in black, and asked, "Who are you?!" β
"And who are you?" The man chuckled and turned to look at the woman, "Perbi, I can't imagine anyone who can resist your charm." β
The woman glanced lazily at Minna, who was in a trance again, but replied faster than before, and the woman said stupidly when she saw this: "You are not seduced by me, you are not a man!" The enchanting place caused little Duras and the others to be in a daze again.
Of course, Minna knew that she was not a man, seeing that the ground was full of blood, and the girls and the teenager in the corner of the house were unconscious, she reached out and tested Alsina's pulse, but it was weaker and normal, so she pushed Domit: "She's not dead yet, why are you crying?!" β
"Not dead?" Dormit looked up with tears on her face, "Then why didn't she wake up?" β
Minna turned to the man in black and asked, "What did you do to them?!" β
The man in black didn't answer, and the woman stretched out amorously: "It's all done, let's go." The former nodded, and said lightly to the messenger: "Do it cleanly, don't leave a trace." And he got up with the woman. As soon as little Duras called out "Don't go", their figures had completely disappeared, as if they had never been there.
Minna was stunned, and turned her head to look at the black-clothed messenger who was holding a glowing blue jar, and was about to move to the place where the black-clothed man had disappeared, when she hurriedly shouted, "Stop! But when he saw the other party's hand raised, the shadow of a big bird had appeared in the shadow behind him, and then gradually turned into an entity, it was the one he met that day, screamed, raised his wings and attacked everyone, and the black-clothed messenger slowly retreated with a smile on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, there was a gurgling sound of bones outside the tent, and Minna avoided the claws of the blackbird, and when she turned around, she was shocked to find that the "corpses" that had been dead no longer could no longer be killed, actually staggered and stood up again.
In the blink of an eye, the gurgling sounds outside the tent became louder and louder, more and more, Minna forced down the fear in her heart, knowing that this time she was in trouble, and then looked at the other colleagues, they were all dead, and the little Duras and the others were even more trembling, only Domit was still holding his fiancΓ©e, and kept calling her name.
The black-clothed messenger chuckled, and his body gradually became transparent: "Enjoy it slowly, everyone." Just as he was about to disappear, a silver light shot at the jar in his hand, he quickly avoided it, but re-revealed his figure, and when he wanted to repeat his old tricks, several silver lights shot at him, he avoided them one by one, but he flashed a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but be angry: "Who is it?!" β
(It's a little late, but I still want to wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival ^^)
