Everyone was shuttling quickly through the woods, the rustle of the grass under their feet and the rapid breathing of their companions in their ears. Even for a well-trained Crow mercenary, running fast through the woods is not an easy task. The line has been elongated, and the mercenaries at the back can no longer see the back of the mercenaries in front of them, but at this time, everyone knows that no one can be distracted to help others, and can only rely on themselves.

The hunter and a few mercenaries who had stayed behind to clean up the traces had caught up with the large force, and they had even surpassed Fern. Fern dragged behind, protecting Ness. The mage's physical weakness was exposed, and Ness had never run so far in the woods, even dodging the criss-crossing branches was exhausting, let alone keeping up with her companions in front of her. Moreover, the dense trees also made it impossible for the mage to perform flying skills, and even if he could, it would only consume mental power more than running, so he had to run with difficulty.

Ness breathed in a big gulp with her mouth open, her throat burning like it was on fire, and she could clearly feel her rapid heartbeat, even in her head. She no longer felt her surroundings, just running forward mechanically with inertia, and every step she took was a kind of torment.

Fern was by her side and kept encouraging her, although he knew that speaking at this time would cause her breath to be disordered and consume unnecessary physical strength, but it was more important to help Ness keep up with the army.

Ness didn't want to run anymore, she had exhausted all her strength, but with Fern's encouragement, she still dragged her tired body and walked forward as best she could. Eventually, Ferne's voice began to fade in, and a constant beep began to sound in Ness's head. She couldn't run anymore, and the girl fell to her knees on the leaf-covered ground, her head bowed and gasping for air.

Seeing this, Fern immediately stopped and crouched down beside Ness. "What's the matter, Ness, hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, and it won't be long before we get out of here. “

"No, Fern, I can't run anymore, you ...... You go first, leave me alone......" Ness cried as she spoke, and once she stopped, she never remembered again.

"What a fool's errand!, I'll carry you!" Fern interrupted Ness, pulling Ness's right hand and placing it on his right shoulder.

Ness stubbornly broke free of Fern and shook her head vigorously. "No, Fern, you will definitely fall behind me on your back, I don't want to bother you, you go quickly!"

"Ness, look at me, Ness!" Fern grabbed Ness's shoulders with both hands and looked the mage in the eye until the mage looked at him too. "Trust me, Ness!

Ness's tears rolled down her cheeks, and she stopped resisting, allowing Fern to carry herself. Fern let Ness's hands wrap around his neck, his own hands dragging Ness's legs, and immediately ran with all his might, faster than he had just followed Ness.

"I'm useless...... I ......" Ness lay on Fern's back, feeling Fern's heaving breathing, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Stop talking, take a break, don't worry, it'll be fine, you've run farther than I thought. Fern heard Ness's words and tilted his head slightly to comfort her.

"What's wrong? We found out that you were suddenly gone. Ryan and Stan also folded back.

"It's nothing, keep running. Fern didn't say anything more, and motioned for his companion to move on.

Rui looked behind him as he ran, and could already faintly see the fast-moving figure of Doyle Scout. "I'll try to stop them, and don't look back. ”

"Don't be in love! Fern commanded as he gasped loudly.

"Hmm. Rui stopped, turned back and stood still, waving his wand in his hand, chanting a spell quickly in his mouth, and the gray mist in the gem at the top of the wand began to roll. The mage's eyes became fierce, and two purple-black wings appeared from the shoulders on both sides, flapping and stretching.

The two scouts who had already run to Rui had already run to Rui, and when they saw the scene in front of them, their eyes widened and they began to shoot crossbow arrows at Rui. But the bolt only flew half the distance before it was suddenly surrounded by two clouds of black mist, and then disappeared into the air. Rui looked at the scout sharply, his right hand slowly raised, and his five fingers spread. The scouts were so frightened that they turned around and shouted that they were about to run away, when several more scouts arrived. The crowd was bold, and the Doyle first stabilized their position, and then slowly began to surround the mage from both sides.

Rui didn't panic, and when the scouts were all within ten yards of her, she suddenly flipped the wand in her hand, and a black shock wave suddenly spread out from the hand she was holding the wand and quickly spread around, sweeping over each scout accurately. I saw that all the scouts present immediately fell to the ground one by one as if they were in great pain, tearing the clothes on their chests frantically.

Rui's expression calmed down, and the wings behind him gradually faded, and finally disappeared. She exhaled hard and glanced at the enemies on the ground. "It should hold them back a little bit. Then he turned and chased after Fern.

With almost all his strength, Rui finally caught up with Fern. At this point, Stan is carrying Ness, and the mercenaries and knights take turns carrying Ness, so that the other can get some respite. Fern turned his head sideways and nodded gratefully at Ferne, who glanced faintly at Fern and continued to look ahead.

Compared to Niss, Rui's physical strength is really much better, even surpassing that of most mages. Fern didn't find it strange, because he knew that Rui must have been born and raised in the border country, and had developed extraordinary physical strength since he was a child. And Rui has already given an answer as to why her hair and eyes are black, so Fern is completely sure that his guess about Rui's origin is right. It's just that now he's the only one who knows, Ness and Stan don't, and Rui asks him not to say it.

They continued to run with each other's supports, and soon they could already see the figure of the crow mercenary in front of them. At this moment, good news came from the front, and the mercenaries running in front seemed to have seen the exit of the woods, which was exciting news for everyone. Fern took Niss from the panting Stan again, "The exit is ahead, keep it up!"

The trees began to thin out, the light from the sky shone more and more into the trees, and the road was better than before. Fern and his companions picked up speed and sped out of the woods.
