Chapter 572: A Storm at a Fork in the Road
"Huh?" a soft voice of surprise suddenly appeared in the darkness.
"What's wrong, fourth?" another voice asked.
"Nothing...... I shuddered. Maybe it's a little chilly at night, right?"
"Hehe, you're still afraid of the cold at night in this weather, and your little body is too useless...... Hey, why do I think your hair stands up? It's so dark that I'm dazzled?"
“...... Well, really. Ha, I almost complained about you. I guess it's the wind blowing. ”
"The wind, was it windy just now? I told you earlier, it's not convenient to have that long hair—"
At this time, another figure flew to the two of them and shouted in a low voice: "You two are still in the mood to chat here? If you let the second young master know that you are lazy when you are exploring the path, you must not be hung up by him with stone ridges?"
"Don't worry, boss, let's just talk casually, aren't we exploring the way?" said the third child hurriedly.
"Concentrate!" the boss told again, "Second Young Master, they are proceeding very fast, and they will arrive in a while." We'll have to make sure there's no danger here before the big army arrives, time is pressing!"
"Got it, boss!" the voice known as the fourth said yes, and then muttered in a low voice, "The speed of the big army is not much slower than that of our scout team, how can there be so much time to scout carefully......"
"What did you say, fourth?" the boss wondered.
"It's nothing!" the fourth laughed dryly, "We've already seen near this fork in the road, and there is no half of it." Let's keep exploring!"
“...... Well. The boss agreed, and then the group flew silently towards the official road due north.
Not long after the people left, a purple arc of electricity suddenly flashed on the ground of the silent fork in the road.
It didn't take long for the Merigian Wizards led by Brandon and Medin to arrive here.
"Stop-"
Just as Brandon was about to rush straight ahead, Medin suddenly raised his wand and shouted. Then, the Merigian mages who were on a long run quickly stopped in order.
"What's wrong?" Brandon frowned. Although he was anxious, he also understood that Medin would not be untargeted, and his experience was much richer than that of his own young master.
Medin raised the light system magic crystal, looked around, and couldn't help frowning: "It's strange, I always feel that there are magic elements gathered abnormally here, but ...... What about the scouts?"
"They should have gone further afield. The guard next to him replied.
"Did you find anything?" Brandon tensed.
Medin shook his head hesitantly, and suddenly said to the left and right: "This is the fork in the road leading to the two official roads of Frank City and Schill Town, and it is also the only way for us to return to Sidondis. If someone wants to ambush and kill us, there is no choice here. A few of you, use the Earth Movement Technique to go underground and see if there will be any ambushes. ”
"Yes!" the men immediately chanted a spell and went beneath the ground.
"Wouldn't the Elder be too cautious?" said Brandon, with some dissatisfaction, "Won't the Scouts probe beneath the ground?"
"Hehe, let's be cautious. Medin softly comforted, "Second Young Master, now that the Merigian family can only rely on you to turn the tide, I naturally can't let you out of the pool." ”
He didn't want to tell Brandon that the Scouts would be denied much because of the rapid march. If he says this and is mistaken by Brandon for blaming him, it will be an extraneous complication.
Brandon was dismissive of Medine's statement, but he didn't want to cause another incident at this time, so he had to endure it for the time being, thinking that he would have to speed up it later to make up for the time he was delayed.
After a while, the people who had dived into the underground to investigate all returned: "Elder Medin, Second Young Master, everything is normal underground. It's just that it seems that there are some ores here that are easy to attract thunder elements, which disturbs the elemental distribution here. ”
Brandon immediately said, "Since there is no problem, then go full speed!"
"Wait a minute!" Medin stopped Brandon again and said, "Second Young Master, please go to the end of the team and let me take the lead." ”
Brandon was stunned for a moment, glanced at Medin, and then turned to leave: "Whatever it is, I just need to rush back to Sidondis as quickly as possible!"
Medin glanced at several of Brandon's personal guards: "Protect the second young master." ”
After Brandon and his guards were walking towards the end of the line, Medin ordered: "Everyone, four columns become two columns, and pass here as fast as you can!"
With that, he rushed to the fork in the road due north.
The magicians in the team quickly adjusted the formation in pairs during the process, making the entire team nearly double. If such a formation is in a valley terrain that is not very open, it will inevitably be cut off by people and surrounded and annihilated.
However, if it is at this fork in the road that is conducive to setting traps, although the elongated line will affect the passing rate, it can effectively reduce the possibility of being hit by a concentrated attack.
However, at this moment, a sudden gust of wind surprised everyone in Merrigian. Everyone understands that there will never be such a violent wind in the here and now!
"Earthen wall!" Dmitry commanded.
After a brief chanting, the earth wall rose from the ground, protecting the people of Merrigian, who had been blown around by the strong wind, under the base of the wall. A hint of fierceness flashed in Med's eyes, and he roared angrily: "Who is so bold as to sneak attack my Merigian?"
"Hehe, you are worthy of the experienced Elder Merrigian, the old body underestimated you. ”
An ethereal voice came from all directions, which made Med's heart sink in, but on the surface he sneered: "Sneaky, can you dare to show up and compete with a certain contest?"
"Hehe, what is Elder Medin talking about, hasn't the old body been here all along?"
"Elder, up there!" the man finally found the clue and pointed to the sky to remind.
Medin looked up and was stunned. I saw that in the wind, an old woman in a gray robe was holding a little girl, who was steadily suspended in mid-air. Behind them, a group of purple-robed magicians surrounded them in the center, their wands flying up and down, and they knew at a glance that they were the initiators of the storm.
"Who are you?" asked Brandon, who had already rushed to the front of the group, glaring at the crowd in mid-air.
"A woman and a child, the cheap name is insignificant. The gray-robed old woman smiled faintly.
When Medin saw Brandon, his expression suddenly changed wildly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Second Young Master, hurry back to the back of the team! You guys, once the fight starts later, you will protect the Second Young Master to retreat in the direction of Frank City, and I will stop this group of people!"
The gray-robed old woman smiled lightly: "Still thinking about escaping? If this can make you run away, then the old body deliberately let you meet before acting, isn't it self-defeating?"
With that, she raised her hand slightly, and a wand tinged with blue and purple appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this special wand, Med's pupils shrank, and some memories buried in the depths of his mind were awakened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You are Yin Zhengru?!" (To be continued.) )
