In the dark night of the night, the forest was dark, and the surviving mercenaries followed Fraser through the trees. By the faint light they could only see their companions clearly, and the sound of their footsteps kept them from being scattered in the forest. The horrific experience just now made their hearts palpitate, no one spoke, no one cared where they would go, everyone just mechanically followed the footsteps in front of them.

Fraser's pace hadn't slowed down in the slightest by the darkness, and he hadn't walked too fast so that the mercenaries could barely keep up with him. After walking like this for almost half an hour, Frazier stopped, raised his head and looked around, and selected a thick tree trunk. "All to the trees. As he spoke, he had gotten up.

The others did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly climbed up the tree with their hands and feet, and after a while everyone climbed up the branches, and finally left the ground, and under the cover of the branches, they had some security.

Geoff sat next to Fraser, and after a moment of silence, he finally couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Fraser, you said that the mage is not alone, does he still have companions in this forest?"

Fraser's voice was tired. "That's right, with his strength, he can't summon that number of flesh beasts, someone must be casting a spell with him to summon. ”

"And what about that man, why didn't he come out against you together?" Lyria's voice came overhead, and she climbed onto the branch above Fraser's head.

Fraser paused for a few seconds before replying, "He may have seen that I was pretending to be exhausted, so let Valafar come out as cannon fodder to test my strength, if I really wasn't their opponent, he would naturally come out." ”

Lyria asked, confused, "But aren't they companions, why don't they save them when they die?"

"There are good and bad companions, and it is understandable to do this in order to protect yourself. ”

"You ......" Lyria was clearly unhappy with Fraser's answer. "And you too, you have that trick to repel the flesh beast, why didn't you use it earlier, if you used it at the beginning, our people wouldn't have died so much, you see, there are only a few left. ”

Only then did Fraser notice that there were now only nine people left in the two mercenary squads that entered the Westwood Forest together, and two of them were injured and dragged up the tree by their companions. "These flesh beasts suddenly appeared around the camp, so someone must have cast a spell nearby to summon them, and the caster was watching us nearby, I have no way of knowing the strength of the other party, so I must save my strength to deal with them. ”

"But those who died were our companions, and they died so miserably. Lyria said with a trembling voice, a little excited.

"It's your companion, not mine. Frazier's voice remained calm.

"If you say that, then why did you save us in the end? Lyria asked.

Fraser was silent for a few seconds. "I don't want to see you all destroyed. ”

"Thank you so much, huh!" Lyria replied puffingly, then stopped talking.

Geoff stepped in to play the round. "You talked to that mage and mentioned a person's name, Nigel, you seem to know him well, who is he?"

"He's a mage, a very powerful mage, probably the most powerful mage in Wallis today. Fraser sighed. "I've traveled with him before and he's a dangerous guy. ”

"Do you think he has anything to do with the cemetery?" Geoff was still in his mind.

"Yes, I think he's the culprit behind this, Valafal is just a pawn of him, and he can give up at any time. ”

"And what is evil magic?" Barney couldn't help but ask.

Fraser's voice grew tired. "It's the horrible things you see, flesh beasts, moving dead human limbs. ”

"And what was the trick you used to defeat Valafal in the end, and why you couldn't hurt him at first, but then cut him down when your sword glowed?" Barney didn't mean to stop, the series of horrific experiences just now made him feel high. "Frazier? Did you hear that?

But Fraser didn't make any sound, he was already asleep, and Geoff interrupted Barney. "Let him rest, I'll keep vigil, and I'll wake you up to take my place Barney. ”

"Oh well, who called you the head, but don't call me too fast. Barney yawned and closed his eyes, and the branches fell silent.

The mercenaries ran fast through the woods, their faces covered in fear, they were covered in wounds, and they had completely ignored the roots of the trees to bring themselves down, and every time they fell, they immediately got up and continued to run. Eventually, they all reached their limits, and they fell one by one in the midst of the siege. A female mercenary with a ponytail suddenly appeared in front of Fraser and blocked a fatal arrow for him. "Fern, live, must live. Tears welled up in the girl's face.

Fraser snapped his eyes open and straightened up on the branches, his face sweating profusely, panting and heaving with his breath.

"Why, do you have nightmares? Looks like you're still a man with a story. Lyria's voice rang out.

Fraser looked up at her, but did not respond, the morning sun was already shining into the trees, and through the leaves, Fraser could see the clear blue sky. He leaned back against the trunk of the tree and raised his head, trying to breathe as slowly as he could, and the smell of roasted meat came from under the tree.

Geoff had prepared the food with the rest of the mercenaries, most of whom they had discarded in the thrill of the previous night, but as well-trained mercenaries, they had easily caught some small animals in the forest, and they were feasting on them at the moment. Seeing that Fraser had woken up, Geoff beckoned him to go down and get something to eat.

Fraser jumped down from the tree, took the roast rabbit leg from Geoff, and sat down to eat, Barney handed him a glass of water, and did not forget to ask a few words. "I thought the Demon Swordsman would never get tired, but looking at the incense you slept on last night, it wasn't even as good as the few people on our night vigil. ”

Fraser took several bites of meat before stopping. "Yesterday's few strokes consumed too much physical and mental energy, and when both were consumed quickly, I needed to rest in time. ”

Geoff didn't know if he understood or not, but nodded and said, "But thanks to you last night, otherwise we would all be wiped out, although it won't be much better now, this is really a hellish task!"

Terrance patted him on the shoulder. "No one thought those monsters were so terrible, if I had known, I wouldn't have come to kill them. ”

Lyria jumps down from a tree and picks up a loaf of bread. "So what are we going to do next? We're now less than half of the people left, and two are wounded. ”

Geoff snorted heavily, scanning everyone before looking at two of the mercenaries. "Quincy, Paddock, you two go back the same way with Grayson and Eddard, both of them are wounded, but they can walk on their own, and if you can get out of the forest before dark, meet up with your companions who are left behind, and tell them that we need another day, and that you will wait there until the fourth day and return to Duluth if there is no news from us. ”

The two mercenaries nodded, and Paddock thought for a moment and asked, "After the four of us left, there are only five of you left, even if you add the Fraser, there are too few, I think it is better to retreat together, I don't know what is more terrifying inside." ”

"We'll be careful, we were careless last night, we didn't expect the flesh beast to really exist, and it was such a terrifying thing. Geoff shook his head.

"Alright then, let's go now, or we won't know what monsters we'll run into when it's dark. Paddock stood up and left with Quincy and the two wounded.

Geoff watched the four of them leave, turning to Fraser. "Do you think the six of us will get out alive?"

"If not, I'd have suggested that you leave together. Fraser replied as he ate it.
