"Go back."

After knowing the relationship between the other party and Leah, she finally put her mind at ease and turned around and issued a repatriation order to the Black Spirit Knight.

Originally, she thought that Fei Nanxi would follow after the black spirit appeared, but the lich still had no news.

There are a number of possibilities for this to happen, the most likely of which is that the lich is in a fierce battle with something and can't get out of it.

"Let's go back and help, maybe it's still too late."

Xia quietly stuck out his tongue, feeling a little embarrassed about his teammate.

"But the Black Spirit Knight has only practiced to level 37 in the past few months, will it be a little too slow?"

She thought of a very important question: "Wouldn't it take hundreds of years to rise to LV999 in this way?" You must know that the further you go down, the more difficult it is to practice. ”

"Leah, let's go out."

Although not related by blood, Timos was still a good brother (?). He told her what she needed to pay attention to, and the two of them came out of the cave together.

"Timos, take me to the ruins first."

Xia looked at the soldiers who were holding the enemy and said:

"They're not weak, and it should be fine to go back from here, but don't cross the river on a raft again; There is a single-plank bridge downstream, so it would be safer for some people to go over and guard the opposite side first. ”

"Just do as you say."

Timos gave the order to cross the river from the bridge.

"Stephanie, let El go back first, and don't stay in the wilderness for long."

After the encounter with the Pioneer just now, Natsu was apprehensive about this chaotic area, and it was too risky for everyone who had not yet grown their wings to stay outside.

"Remember to ask Erin to look for Delia near the coast, her level should already exceed LV12, as long as she is efficient enough. Leveling up solo is much faster than teaming up. ”

The black-clothed little Lori took the order, and Xia and Timos slowly walked to the northwest one after the other, where the underground ruins were located.

The two of them were silent on the road, and the Imperial Major seemed to be a silent person himself, only talking a little more after seeing his childhood sweetheart, once he had finished talking about business. He didn't know what to say.

In order to avoid flaws, Xia naturally wouldn't have nothing to chat with each other, and the journey was extremely dull, until the little Lori in black returned, and there was no conversation between the two of them.

"That's it, Leah."

After walking for about another 10 minutes, a low mountain appeared in front of them.

Although it is less than a hundred meters high, the entire mountain range covers a large area, and a winding path leads into a narrow crevice in the mountain, which looks like there is a hole in it.

"Major!"

The two of them came to the crack in the mountain. Three soldiers jumped out of it and gave a military salute to Timos at the same time.

Their uniforms were blue, different from those worn by Timos's men, and they looked like they were subordinates of another commander.

"Have there been any suspicious people around lately?"

Seeing the three guards guarding the entrance, Timos inquired as usual.

"A lot of strange things have happened in the past two days."

One of the guards said worriedly:

"Soldiers who come out on duty often hear someone whispering, but they can't find the source of the sound; About a kilometre from here, there is an occasional strange fire in the east, especially at night; But we sent people to investigate, but we didn't see a trace of burning, and we didn't feel any magic fluctuations around. ”

"You're not a magical class. The other party may have used a high-level summoning spell or an undead spell, and ordinary people will not be able to detect the change in mana power if the mana detection device fails. ”

Timos thought for a moment. Say to them:

"Continue to strengthen vigilance, if you can't send a few more people, and you must always find people to patrol the top of the mountain range, otherwise it will be easy for people to secretly approach here."

"Why, it sounds like the famous Black Death looks down on us?"

A young man in an azure military uniform emerged from a crack in the mountain and pulled out the giant sword behind his back. It was thrust heavily on the ground.

The rubbing of the broad blade against the gravel made a cacophony of motion, an impolite act that made his appearance provocative.

"Those masters who can only hold their staff and chant incantations are now hiding in a safe place to sleep, and we have to guard the door here against the wind and frost, and we have to watch out for cold arrows shooting at us at any time......"

The young man drew his greatsword and pointed the tip of the sword at Timos:

"Then Major Timos, who went out for a tour and came back. If you have any dissatisfaction, just come at me, there is no need to be arrogant to my subordinates! ”

"I didn't go out to play, Bernie."

Timos's face was not filled with joy or anger, and he replied in a calm tone:

"I've reported before that I'm going to pay respects to the martyrs at the waterfall, and I happened to catch some pioneers, probably the same people who attacked the camp in the first place."

"Is there such a thing? I hadn't heard from the Commander. ”

The young man named Bernie withdrew his sword, his mind seemed to be simple, and his anger immediately turned elsewhere, only to hear him say viciously:

"Okay, you've got it this time. Those bastards killed at least two of my detachments, where did you send them? I'm going to go over and see for myself and torture these despicable bugs! ”

"I should have been escorted back to the second development base by now......"

Before Timos could finish his words, the young man took up his giant sword and hurried in the direction the two had just come.

"This guy is still so hot."

The Major sighed and waved the three guards over:

"Don't stand guard here, divide two people to follow your commander, and the rest of the one will go inside and gather a whole team to come out, it's getting more and more peaceful around here, and it will be dangerous for Bernie to go on the road alone."

"Understood!"

The guards had a good impression of the handsome major and knew the temper of their commander, so they did not hesitate to carry out his orders.

"Pull out your weapon, it's not safe in here."

Timos pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, and Natsu noticed that he was wielding a rapier, identical to Joanna's.

"Could it be that this kind of sword-like weapon is very popular in the Imperial Army?"

Xia carried his sword and followed him into the crack in the mountain. Strange thought in my heart.

This weapon is almost impossible to slash, and most of the attacks rely on stabbing to complete, although the piercing after cultivating to the peak is very terrifying, but the attack method is too simple, at least she has never seen a master with a stabbing sword when Faense is wandering.

However, her perception changed when the two encountered monsters.

Inside the crevice of the mountain is a path that can only accommodate 2 or 3 people in parallel, and there are often things coming out to attack them in the strange rocky places next to it. Timos was familiar with the situation here, and the rapier in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, either stabbing or slashing, and none of those monsters could survive more than a second under his sword.

"Huh? This kind of swordsmanship seems to be quite strong. ”

In the eyes of the system, as long as it is an independent and perfect sword skill, it is basically possible to become a new profession.

So she began to have the idea of this profession similar to a Western swordsman in her heart, staring at Timos's sword moves and postures and constantly simulating and figuring out, wanting to learn the other party's swordsmanship.

“…… Leah. If you want to learn my sword skills, you just need to say it; If you're so focused, you'll be attacked by monsters. ”

There are too many enemy levels here between LV13-17, and Timos's level is only 20, so there is not much advantage, so it is a bit difficult to fight alone without Xia moving.

"Phew!"

Xia casually stabbed a sword in his hand, piercing the leg of a monster, using the same sword technique he had just used.

The monster howled and fled behind the rocks, but was soon overtaken by Timos due to the great loss of speed. A beautiful stab ended in death.

"You've learned well, Leah."

Timos shook the blood off his rapier. Said with a smile:

"It seems that you have a great talent for this kind of swordsmanship, and I will teach it to you when I have the chance."

"Thank you, but no."

Xia looked at the new profession in the career column, and after the sword was stabbed, she received a system prompt, it seems that this profession is not a rare type, and it is very ordinary in all aspects from the introduction.

"Black Death?"

She thought of the young man's name for Timos:

"If only this was the case. That's a misnomer. ”

"Major, come here, the other road has been blocked, there was a landslide yesterday!"

After continuing on the sheep intestine path for a while, the voice of the sentry on duty was heard in front of him.

A man wearing a camouflage grass ring stands up from a height. Beckoning to this side:

"There may be more monsters here, but the top and the rock wall are sturdy...... Uhhh ”

A monkey-like monster suddenly pounced out of the darkness, bit him on the neck, and dragged him behind the rocks like a puppet.

"Bastard, let him go!"

There was a roar from behind another rock, followed by a gunshot.

"Go up and have a look!"

Timos climbed a rock and quickly climbed to the place where the monster had disappeared, and found a man lying on the ground clutching his neck, leaving some dark green liquid next to him, in addition to a puddle of blood under him.

"Sir, I'm fine."

The man on the ground said in a whisper, "But that guy's teeth are too sharp, and the wound seems to be very deep......"

"Don't speak, don't move!"

Timos crouched down and took out a small fanny pack from his waist, only to find that it was empty when he opened it.

The long battle made the medicine extremely scarce, and even the senior officer did not have much on him, and his wound medicine had long since run out.

"Use this."

Xia was not short of medicine here, but she didn't dare to take out the pill containing her blood, but handed over a jar of medical gel.

"This is a popular first-aid medicine in the southern part of the mainland, and although the effect is not as good as the cold light medicine, it is not bad."

Timos recognized the remnant of the technology from the southern kingdoms and sprinkled it on the man's wounds.

"That's a lot to ask for."

Xia snorted coldly in his heart, quite dissatisfied with his imperial supremacy way of thinking. (To be continued......)
