Seeing Biantris running out, his teammates quickly followed and ran towards the entrance of the passage. In response to the sudden change, Mark shouted from behind, "What's the situation?"

"Negligence! remember what you did in the tavern?"

"Oops!" Mark immediately remembered that this oversight could cause great damage, and at the thought of this, he hastened towards the exit, a strong sense of remorse welled up in his heart, and he began to pray that the bastards hadn't had time to come.

In fact, it's been quite a while since they've arrived here, defeated the Stalker team, discovered the secret room, and found the letters, and it's already the second half of the night, and even a kid knows that there is a lot of fun, and there is enough time for him to run over.

When the four of them arrived at the entrance of the passage, there were dozens of more people on the ground, all wearing full-body armor and marked with the sign of Selenzo, covering the crossing, and the soldiers who had been lying down were turned over, and a small mechanism was placed underneath. Apparently, the security forces who had arrived arrived at the entrance of the cave, moved past the guards, and activated the trap set by the stalkers.

The sense of self-reproach completely occupied the consciousness of the sheriff, he leaned weakly against the entrance of the cave, the armor and the soil at the entrance of the cave slowly rubbed and slived, and finally, the whole person sat on the ground, holding the mud with both hands, and lost his mind and said: "It's all my fault, it's too negligent, they have served here longer than me, and now ......."

"Don't worry, there's still a chance," Biantris leaned down and began to examine the soldiers on the ground.

"Now is not the time to blame yourself, if you want to do something, there is still a chance", Tarrant also checked a soldier beside him, the armor was not damaged, and there were no obvious injuries on the exposed parts of the body, the trap that was triggered was likely to be an aerosol trap, he measured the soldier's breath, faint but steady, "It may just be poisoning, or paralysis, it's still too late to find the priest in the town immediately!"

The sheriff's dim eyes immediately brightened, "Okay, I'll go at once!" He sprang up and was about to run towards the town, but was stopped by Adrian, who tapped his armor and said, "Take it off and you'll run faster." ”

A set of full-body armor weighed dozens of pounds, of course, it was a burden for long-distance running, Mark nodded and quickly took off the armor, leaving a long sword, he left a sentence "take care of them", and the figure disappeared into the night.

Before he returned, all he had to do was to ensure that the soldiers were not attacked, and Biantris lit torches and planted them around the entrance of the cave to surround the soldiers, and the wild beasts in the woods were afraid of fire, which could reduce the risk of attack. Adrian turned over the soldiers one by one, leaving them lying on their backs in case their breathing was blocked in the grass littered with fallen leaves.

Due to the trap that had been placed earlier, the first batch of guards had not yet been checked, and now that the trap had been lifted, Tarrant stepped forward to check on the casualties of the soldiers. Like the soldier who stepped on the trap later, there were no obvious external injuries, and surprisingly, there was still breath, and he did not die, exactly the same as the situation in the trap. According to the report of the soldier who went to the tavern, they should have been knocked down, Tarrant took off the squad leader's armor, and finally found a small wound in the neck, very shallow, not even much blood came out, needless to say, it was also the effect of sleep, he checked the rest of the soldiers in turn, and also found small wounds on different parts of the body, "They were just injured by 'sleeping', and they were all alive." ”

This is good news, Adrian rushed over to check on the injury, and confirmed: "It seems that the 'Falcon' did not intend to kill, their plan was just to put them down, and then find Xun Tie and take the letter, so that there is no evidence of their relationship with the spirit sucking monsters, and the trap at the door only prevents the follow-up troops from disturbing them." ”

Biantris smacked his lips, "It's not that they don't intend to kill, but they don't intend to be open and confrontational, to the public, this organization is not as well-known as other big organizations, and they still know about this organization among the imperial forces, but because of the relationship between the upper echelons, no country has taken a clean-up action, in this context, if they openly attack the imperial soldiers, they will undoubtedly cause trouble for themselves, their purpose is only to complete the task and get money." Just like this operation, if their mission is successful, no one will contact them in this matter, but if it fails, Cerenzo will know that the Falcon has attacked the Imperial soldiers, and the upper echelons will not be able to cover such a big matter, and the entire Falcon will be in trouble. On the contrary, it is easier to cover up the collusion with the spirit sucking monsters, as long as the evidence disappears, or some processing is carried out to make the source of the letter less reliable, the collusion can easily be suppressed. So, it's more reliable to put the evidence in the Shelter Light, Tarrant, and you have to be careful about the way back. ”

"Yes, I'm going to use the teleportation station to go back, and when I come, remember that there is a town that has a teleportation service. "I came here on horseback because Tarrant was worried about missing the Garfield team on the way, and now it's my mission to get the evidence to the Sheltered Light headquarters in Selenso, and teleportation is the best way to do it.

Adrian, who had been living in Watt Town for a while, picked up a branch, cleared the ground of the clearing, and drew a small circle, "This Watt Town, you go north of Watt Town along a big road, there will be a fork", the branch drew a short line to the north from the circle, and then split two short lines, "It marked the direction of the west and the north, and went west to the town of Nai'an, where there is a teleportation station, and there is a combat unit stationed, you can go there to teleport, and the teleportation station on the way you come is farther away. ”

"How long has it been?"

"It's enough to walk along the direction for two hours, and if you want to save time, you can walk through a forest, but there are goblins living in it, and it's easy to get lost. ”

With important evidence in his body, there was an accident but the loss was heavy, Tarrant gave up the idea of taking shortcuts, safety first, "Understood, I will go to Nai'an Town tomorrow." He sat down with his back against a tree, he had not rested since he had gotten up early in the morning, he had only drunk a few beers in the tavern, and now he was quiet, his whole body felt sore, he kept a relaxed posture, leaned against the tree and quietly looked at the soldiers on the ground. The two teammates also stopped talking, and rested against the tree, except for the sparks on the side that bloomed on the torches, and everything in the forest fell into a deep sleep.

After about half an hour, there were faint human voices in the woods in the direction of Watt Town, and a few fires flickered in the distance of the woods. The distant firelight slowly approached, and there were about dozens of people listening to the sound, the footsteps were heavy, and they were wearing heavy armor. Hoping he wouldn't have to fight again, Tarrant whispered a prayer that his sword-wielding right arm was overused.

A few dozen yards away from the firelight, Mark's voice finally came through the woods, and he shouted "Tarrant", and Tarrant breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Mark, here!"

The remaining soldiers of the town and the priest of the church rushed over, and the priest began to disarm the soldiers who had fallen into the trap, and Mark commanded the newly arrived soldiers to set up the wounded. Tarrant had already returned to his heart, and seeing that he was not needed here, he patted Mark on the shoulder, and retreated: "Sir, there is no problem here, I'll go back first, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow." ”

"Go back and have another drink, you've helped me a lot", Mark still lost no time in trying to make the landlord's friendship.

"It's not early, Nightshadow closes", Adrian's smile also showed weariness, "Mark, I'm back too." ”

The three of them looked at the guy who liked to wander, he leaned back against the big tree and lowered his head, making a slight snoring sound, he was already asleep, and he slept very soundly, it seemed that the woods were his big bed, and he could still sleep soundly in such a situation, Tarrant said helplessly: "Let this guy lie down, let's go back first." ”

"Alright, guys, go back and be safe. I still have a lot to do tonight", the sheriff returned to command.

The way back was so long that Tarrant had almost exhausted all his remaining strength, and the two barely talked along the way, and the most important thing for them to enjoy now was to lie down on the soft mattress and get a good night's sleep. By the time they arrived in town, it was already light and the inhabitants had not yet risen, so Tarrant said a little goodbye to Adrian and went straight to the hotel, knocked on the door of the hotel, stepped into the room and lay down on the bed, his eyes quickly closed heavily.

After a long time, a rhythmic sound of "bang-bang-bang" vaguely reached Tarrant's ears, and Tarrant barely opened his eyes, and found that the furnishings of the hotel around him were gone, and turned into a forest avenue. He was lying on a meadow by the side of the road, and a large and neat army was marching west on the avenue beside him, and the winding procession was like a silver giant snake swimming in the forest, and every step of the procession accumulated a heavy "bang" sound.

The soldiers were all dressed in refined full-body armor, with a long sword at their waists, a small round shield behind their backs, and the emblem of the Honagar Empire engraved on the left chest of the armor, and they conversed in a language with a heavy accent, Tarrant did not bother to listen to what they were saying, he walked to the side of the group, and none of the soldiers looked at him, as if Tarrant did not exist at all, and continued their route. A well-trained and well-equipped unit, Tarrant looked back and forth, and there was no end of the line in sight on either side, here...... Could it be Hornagar that this force is heading west, is it attacking Komohe? What makes Tarrant even more strange is how he could be here, before...... He struggled to remember, but couldn't remember where he was, and he headed east toward the end of the group, hoping to find some clues.

After a few steps, the armor of the soldiers behind him changed, the armor of the soldiers of the Honagar Empire was silver refined, and the armor of the soldiers behind was dark yellow, and Tarrant accelerated his pace and rushed towards the dark yellow army. The dark yellow army approached, a man on a white horse, stuck in the middle of the white and dark yellow ranks, not wearing armor, wearing a golden head ring, carved with the eagle mark that is usually found in royal circles, a long sword at his waist, red energy wandering on the sword, his cloak from his neck to the horse's back, embroidered with an eagle with wings outstretched, Tarrant wanted to see the horseman's face, the scorching sunlight covered his face from top to bottom, and only a shadow could be seen under the glittering head ring. The team that followed the horsemen was marked with eagle wings on their breastplates, holding spears in both hands, and wearing delicate daggers at their waists.

The man on horseback was most likely the leader of the team, and Tarrant hurried to catch up and stand in the middle of the group, still unable to see the face of the rider, Tarrant asked, "May I ask ......?"

The horse did not seem to see Tarrant, and still strode forward with great force, and the rider had no intention of holding the horse and letting the horse crash into Tarrant. Seeing that they were about to collide, Tarrant dodged in time, and the spears of the troops behind him almost touched Tarrant. The team didn't react and continued to march in order, and Tarrant shouted "Hey, ——!" at the team, only to find that the soldiers were reluctant to throw him even a look, as if he was being ignored in the air.

It's all too strange, Iberon's royal army is the most elite army in the empire, how can it appear in Honagar, they are the backbone, once they leave the country, what will happen to Iberon's country? How can they march with Honagar's troops, the two empires are far apart, and they have never heard of military exchanges, where are they going? The horse rider is marked with the royal emblem, he should be an extremely noble figure, who will he be? Tarrant was already overwhelmed by the questions, so he simply found an open space and sat down, watching the troops in front of him move forward.

After Emperor Iberon, a new situation appeared, which made Tarrant's mouth open wide in surprise, it was Emperor Selenso! Everything is so weird, how could Cerenso's troops appear in the territory of Honagar?! The three troops went west together, could it be that they formed an alliance to attack Komohe, which would affect the division of power in the entire continent and would be recorded in the history of Redstone. The problem was such an important matter, it had not been revealed at all, and it was impossible for the Royal Iberohn troops to set off from their own territory without being discovered, and Tarrant made a decision, since no one paid attention to him, he would follow the troops and see what was going to happen. He no longer waited for the tail of the troops, but advanced with the army of Serenso.

The troops marched in the forest for an unknown time, and when they reached a fork, a dilapidated street sign, pointing to the west and southwest, the handwriting to the west has been blurred, only a red arrow is left faintly, and in the southwest direction, it is written "Tingwu". The troops are heading towards Tingwu Mountain, the battlefield between the ground elves and the dark elves, a strange thought rushes up, Tarrant feels that he has been here, this land, narrates the history of the Red Stone Continent, this army, carrying the glory of the human world, he has understood the mission of this army, and he will follow the army to complete this mission.

In the distance, a flock of birds suddenly flew out of the woods, making a "clucking" sound, breaking the original tranquility, and then a little wind rose in the woods, blowing down the leaves and paving them on the avenue. A crow hovered down from the sky and landed on a tree beside Tarrant, its black eyes looking at the troop and letting out a crisp "Quack!"

No one paid attention to the crows, and the troops continued in the woods.

A slight tremor came from the feet, something was surging underground, as if it was about to burst out of a shell, and the troops finally stopped advancing, and the soldiers watched the woods on either side with alertness.

The tremor grew stronger, the woods began to tremble, the things in front of them appeared, and the sound of breaking ground came from the forest, followed by a strange "sizzling" sound.

The other party revealed their intentions, and countless earth spirits in the forest rushed out from both sides of the road, panicked as if they were being driven by a giant beast, and crashed into the soldiers, and the well-trained soldiers quickly changed their ranks, built a human wall, and the long swords swung sideways, and the leader of the team shouted "Prepare for battle!"

Tarrant held his sword in both hands, his legs slightly bent, and made a defensive gesture, the earth spirits ran closer and closer, and they were about to collide, Tarrant flashed sideways like lightning, and the long sword stabbed into the neck of the earth spirit beside him. The long sword passed through the body of the earth elf, but there was no resistance, Tarrant's body lost his balance, and he almost fell, he looked back in surprise, the earth spirit had collided with the soldier behind him, the soldier's giant sword pressed against the earth spirit's chest, stabbing the earth spirit's body into a big hole, and the other earth spirits and soldiers had already been mixed up.

Tarrant looked at his sword, what had just happened...... What was going on, the sword was pierced by the body of the earth spirit like an illusion, he wiped the blade with his index finger, it was cold and solid, and Tarrant turned around and slashed at the other earth spirits, all of which passed through his sword.

The sound of "sizzling" came from the forest, and after the earth spirits, several rows of dwarves gradually appeared from the dense forest, all wearing steel armor and steel helmets, the armor tightly wrapped the dwarves, they held one-handed sharp axes, and walked in unison, like an iron man wall, slowly marching towards the soldiers.

The attack of the earth spirits has been disintegrated, the ground is full of the huge bodies of the earth spirits, the emperor issued a defensive order, the soldiers quickly relined before the dwarves arrived, the wounded soldiers retreated to the second row, the soldiers in the front row squatted, raised their shields, stretched out their swords, and made a rampart defense, and the soldiers in the back row were ready to make an attack supplement. And Tarrant was excluded from the team by the shield array, he stood alone in the middle of the two human walls, the situation was critical, and Tarrant was not allowed to have the slightest room to consider, he raised his sword and swung it at the dwarf in front, and the strange thing happened again, Tarrant's sword passed through the dwarf's body, and before Tarrant had any retreat, the dwarf troops had already hit Tarrant's calf, and this time, even Tarrant's body was crossed by the dwarf.

The dwarf's iron wall and the square shield array were intertwined, the axe and sword wrestled in the air, the sparks burst out, the iron armor and iron shield were tightly pressed together, and the battle intent eyes sprayed from the helmets of both sides were strong enough to devour each other.

Tarrant turned around and slashed the dwarves frantically, the sword in his hand was so weak that he couldn't touch anything, the dwarf queue began to tear apart the imperial battle line, the soldiers' weapon level could not cause substantial damage to the dwarves surrounded by iron armor, and the dwarves' sharp axes smashed the square shield to shreds, the emperor's defensive walls began to collapse, and the army on the avenue was cut into several sections by the dwarven iron wall.

The battle was unfavorable to the human side, the soldiers were torn open by sharp axes, red blood gushed from the breaches, the earth was dyed red, and the woods let out a miserable wail. Tarrant had fallen into madness, this army could not be wiped out like this! he had to do something, he threw his sword aside, rushed at the dwarf beside him, and swung his fist into the dwarf's face, actually through the dwarf's head, Tarrant's impact inertia caused his entire body to pass through the dwarf, and finally fell face down to the ground, the smell of blood filling his nostrils, and his consciousness was full of death and wailing.

The sound of "sizzling" continued to be heard in the forest, and Tarrant sat up blankly, watching the soldiers around him fall one by one, and the whole vision gradually turned red. He got up and walked into the woods, where the culprit was hidden, and in the depths of the forest Tarrant saw a twisted figure dancing, and he quickened his pace and ran towards it.

There was another "sizzling" sound, just behind the big tree in front of it, and the sound was so clear that it seemed to be facing him. Tarrant clenched his fists, and slowly approached the source of the sound against the tree, the sound suddenly stopped, Tarrant held his breath, carefully paced a step, and suddenly, a figure rushed from behind the tree to him and almost collided with him, the purple octopus head was attached to the tip of Tarrant's nose, and the coiled antennae below attached to Tarrant's face like worms, they looked at each other, and the two black eye sockets in the octopus's head were tightly pressed into Tarrant, like two bottomless pools about to swallow Tarrant whole......
