Chapter 14: Retreat!
Haks City, a city on the edge of the Black Forest, thrived on trade and was an important transit point on the southeastern trade routes of the Gama Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, at this time, the city of Hax was not as noisy as it used to be, and at some point, the soldiers of the empire blocked all the transportation arteries, and a solemn atmosphere spread over the city.
In the Black Forest, a small group of knights was in front, and another group of soldiers was behind.
The knights all rode white horses, strong and powerful, with several scaly vortices on both sides of their lower abdomen, and they were like walking on the ground in rough terrain, which was extraordinary.
These knights were dressed in silver armor, with a white holy feather stuck behind a silver helmet on their heads, and a holy light cross sword hanging from their waists!
Crusaders of the Holy See of Light!
And the soldiers behind are also excellent, holding big knives, and ran all the way, but their faces did not change, they were cold and abnormal, they were all the way to the iron army!
"Lord Judge Knight, the sign left by Deacon Nangat is broken here!" a crusader soldier reported.
"Hmph, those heretics! "Ciel, pulling the reins, ran east.
"Drive!"

Between the shadows of the trees, a tall figure cautiously poked his head out, his heart full of resentment.
"If you don't run faster, you're going to die, well, the sun is going to set soon, and you're really going to die by then!" said Orange Bellos, smiling from a tree branch, with an extra glass in his hand, and the red liquid in it gave off a faint fishy smell. He shook it, and gently lowered his head to sniff it, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Ike wiped the blood from his face, all from the collision along the way.
This Oranwido is simply a complete pervert, with the strength to kill you in one fell swoop, but still trying to play slowly.
This is his playground, and the rules of the game are to escape before the sun sets!
But with Ike's current weak strength, would he be Oranvido's opponent? He understood that Orantido wanted to make him feel hopeless, to make him feel the terrible despair of time passing by and his life being threatened!
"Damn!" Ike slammed the trunk of the tree and ran west, remembering what the deacon had said. As long as you get to Hax City, I believe that there will be a chance of salvation.
"Take your time and enjoy the despair!" Oranvido drank the blood from his cup and savored it, "It's too rough, that filthy mercenary's blood is really unpalatable, I hope it's better this time!"
Sou!
The red sun, which had been supported in mid-air, finally slowly sank in the west under the expulsion of the red glow, and the golden afterglow clothed the earth with a glittering garment.
Ike was anxious, wishing he could turn back time and return to the scorching noon.
The countdown to death begins to count, and the wind behind you is howling!
Squeak -
Bats flew over Ike's broad back, then stretched out their sharp claws and clawed at the back.
Zila!
The sound of flesh being torn was far less than the transmission of pain, and Ike shivered, and cold sweat brushed down.
"Oh, what a pity, it's time, it's game over!"
Shh
Swarms of bats frantically scurried towards Ike, and the dense figure made the scalp tingle.
Ike looks like a black man from afar, with a bat **** on his skin and sucking blood!
Card rub!
Touch!
Suddenly, Ike shattered, leaving behind a pale blue elemental fragment, and slowly returned to nothingness.
Oranvido looked up and saw the running figure again.
"Puppet stand-ins?"
How could he not know about this famous escape skill in arcane magic, but the number of such magic is scarce, and there is only one in a hundred arcane mages who have mastered it, and he never wanted to appear on this little ghost.
"I'm the real master! you can't escape!" Oranvideo waved his big hand, the black wavy shading cloak swayed, and the night was his battlefield!
There is not much left in Ike's body (McGirk is a mage containing mana unit), and his body is also the end of the strong crossbow, and the means are exhausted, and the rest is left to fate.
Oranwidor has made up his killing intent, and the power of the shadows condenses into a long knife in mid-air!
Shadow Magic: Night Sword!
Sou!
Squeak!
Shhh
Ike forcibly twisted his body during the exercise, inevitably injuring his ankle, and the Night Knife also slid through his abdomen, leaving a torn wound that instantly stained his clothes red.
A faint fishy smell filled the air, and Oranvido landed lightly on the ground, twitching his nose.
"This fragrant smell is really attractive, you will be a good drink!"
Ike naturally knows about the living habits of the blood clan, otherwise this group of guys would not be called vampires.
"Skarna. Ike clutched the crystal pendant and gritted his teeth as he waited. What are waiting for? miracles? Maybe.
"Goodbye, little imp!" Oranvido turned into a bat with his arm, as if he were dealing with Acre.
"Heretical demon, don't want to hurt people!"
At the last moment, a thick roar roared, and a milky white fighting qi fell from the sky, crushing those huge numbers of bats.
Orange Victor leapt to his feet and came to a moss-covered boulder.
At this time, the moon is shining, and the stars are shining in the night. A soft silver light poured down, giving Oranvide a luxurious coat.
Dangdang!
The sound of metal clashing and hurried footsteps came from a short distance in the woods, and a knight in silver armor quickly protected Ike, and one of the knights led by him climbed off his horse.
"Oranway, you're being presumptuous!
"Ciel, oh, I didn't expect you to come back from Liberty Fortress!" Oranvideo sat down cross-legged, a red-leather soft couch behind him.
"Heretics, you're as arrogant as ever!" Hill drew his crosssword, and the faint moonlight was absorbed by the blade.
The Cross Sword is a specially crafted weapon of the Holy See of Light, which can absorb any light and has a suppressive effect on demons.
"You're still as hot-tempered as ever!" Oranwido's slender knuckles tapped on the handle, his tone as if he were meeting an old friend.
"Be judged!" Hill rushed out.
"Hey, it looks like the game needs to be stopped today, it's really a disappointment!"
Ciel's attack missed, and Oranvido scattered with a thud, flying bats converging in mid-air.
At this time, Oranvido's long hair was fluttering, his silver hair was gorgeous and noble, his blood-red eyes were like blood, and a pair of black bat flesh wings on his back were more than two meters long, this was the true form of the blood clan!
"Little ghost, I'll pick it up for you, I'll pick it up!" Oranvido said, and the words were as soft as if only Ike could hear, but the deep meaning of the words was like falling into an ice cave.
"The guy who is targeted by the blood clan will never end well!hahahahaha!!"
The night was as usual, but a figure was lost.
"Your Excellency!"
"No need to chase!" Hill waved his left hand, his face pale, "The speed of the Bloods is already fast, and even more so in the night!
"Yes!"
Seeing that Oranvido had finally disappeared, Ike's tight strings were also loosened, and suddenly a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he fell to the ground with black eyes.
"Little brother?" a knight hugged the sleeping Ike, relieved by the gentle breathing.
"You stay here, I'll go find Deacon Nangat!" Hill mounted his white horse and headed deeper into the woods.

Ike felt like he had a long dream, and in the dream he kept running, because Skarna's was in front of him, but when Skarna disappeared, a blinding light made him get up instantly.
"H-" Ike subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the light, and it took a while to get used to the environment.
"Is it over?" said to him, and he didn't cheer at what had happened last night, for Orange Guest would not give up. He's right, it's a real hassle to be targeted by a powerful Bloodline.
After thinking for a while, he began to look around, it was a simple little room, a wooden bed against the wall, a small round table next to it, a stool, and a glass window with colorful patterns on the east side.
The decoration and layout of this place felt familiar to him, the Holy See of Light!
Squeak!
"Oh, you're awake?" Suddenly, the arched wooden door was pushed open, and a tall brown-haired man dressed in a white cloth robe walked in. His square face looked heroic and handsome, and the long sword at his waist clanged.
"Thank you for saving me. Ike said gratefully.
"It was the knight who saved you, but not me!" the knight smiled shyly.
"By the way, my name is Sato, and you're Ike, right?" Sato placed the tray in his hand on the round table, on which was breakfast for Ike, two pieces of wheat bread, and a glass of milk.
"How do you know?" asked Ike, curious.
"Oh, after the accident, the Pike University scholars in the small town of Arx sent a message to our Bright Sect. Sato replied, "It was really dangerous, and if you take a slow shot, you will die!"
"Yes!" Ike got up from the bed and stretched.
"But don't worry, our Bright Sect and the Governor of Reser Province have reached an agreement, and that heresy will not appear again in the near future. Sato said slowly, "We're about to leave soon, and the Pike University scholars told you to hurry to Doco City." ā
"Thank you very much for your help!" Ike put his right hand on his left chest and bowed in a formal salute, which was the supreme etiquette of the Holy See of Light.
"You're welcome, may you have a bright future!" Sato replied, and then turned to leave, their order had been issued, and Hill would take the place of Deacon Nangat and guard the province of Lesser!
Ike hastily settled breakfast and walked out.
At this time, he was located in the Holy See Chapel of Light in Hax City, where it was easy to find a large carriage to Docco, and it was believed that it would take less than a few days to arrive.
During the meal just now, he had also checked the animal skin bag that Uncle Ark had given him, and there were some materials piled up inside, as well as a few crystal cards, an iron box, and some envelopes.
The envelope contains the information of the twenty-four members of the Courageous Mercenary Group and the suicide note they wrote, mercenaries are a high-risk profession, so almost every mercenary has the consciousness of death and the words left behind.
The crystal card and materials are the money and goods that Uncle Ark gave to the families of the twenty-four people, and as for the iron box, I am afraid that it is what the Courage Mercenary Group obtained from the ruins.
However, Ike opened it, and there was only a fist-sized stone inside, irregular shape, gray-black, very ordinary, I believe that no one still wanted it on the side of the road.
After the search was fruitless, Ike could only continue to put it in the spatial ring, ready to start again.
On the streets, people come and go, the horror of yesterday is gone, and people are back to their usual liveliness. From time to time, caravans pass by, and hovercars fly by.
Ike looked around curiously, the town of Arx was a very old place, and Hax was a semi-technological city with a lot of alchemy.
In fact, alchemy is also a discipline that is separated from scholars, but alchemists do not need to be so demanding as scholars, as long as you have the heart and perseverance, you can become an alchemist.
Ike's calm was hidden in the storm, and he couldn't forget Ake's relieved entrustment, nor the kind coachman who did his duty, and the black-clothed deacon who saved his life.
Oranvido, I won't let you go!
