Chapter 14: The Dark Pilgrims

Ten Guards jumped off their horses and approached the edge of the cliff to take in the overlook, and found that Maitreya Natsuhiko was leading several bounty hunters in battle with dozens of gray-robed cultists. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing that the bounty hunters who accompanied him had fallen one after another, Xia Yan, who was stained red with blood, and the few remaining warriors were surrounded by these cultists with iron rods and daggers......

On the other hand, on the cliff, the drop of more than ten meters means that everyone can't go down directly, after observing the surrounding environment, Mo Mo Cha's eyes locked on the smoke rising in a jungle not far away, and reminded his teammates.

"Their camp is not far away, do you want to divide the troops into two ways, guys?"

White agreed, chose Sooke and Delacro, and proposed, "Sooker, Victor, let's go to their lair, and Aji, you can take Tristan to rescue your friends." ”

"Understand, let's go, don't let Xia Yan fall!!"

The group was divided into two groups, Delacro's group went all the way along the path on the side of the cliff to reach the target camp, and the Ten Guards and Mo Mocha also moved slowly down the cliff face......

When he returned to Xia Yan, who had been absent for a long time, he found that after the reinforcements led by the Ten Guards arrived, he clenched the ordinary Japanese sword in his hand and inspired the soldiers beside him.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer! Reinforcements are coming!"

Even if he lost the Suigetsu Tai Sword, a true swordsman could still easily slit the throat of a pilgrim, and Xia Yan swung the blunt sword in his hand and slashed hard, slashing several people in the blink of an eye. Thanks to Natsuhiko's efforts, the bounty hunters also rekindled their fighting spirit, and waved the weapons in their hands to knock down the Dark Cultists.

Seeing that the security team rekindled their fighting spirit, several cultists with crossbows immediately shot the bounty hunter next to Xia Yan, but they were never able to shoot the agile Xia Yan, seeing that the crossbow arrows in the bag were getting fewer and fewer, Xia Yan, who was not far away, also raised the bloody sword in front of him, and instantly cut down the three people, and the last person was shocked to drop his weapon and sit to die.

"Hawk!!"

The falcon swooped down from the sky and snatched the coward's eyeballs, and at the moment of the howl of pain, a feathered arrow pierced his forehead and pierced out the back of his head, and Mo Cha completed the hunt with the falcon a hundred paces away.

The moment the cultist was shot to death, Natsuhiko's quick knife cut off his head, and the Ten Guards also descended from the sky and stabbed steel needles into the chest of the deceased cultist.

"What a disappointment...... By the way, Xia Yanjun, are you okay? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Due to the prey being taken, Shibei and Xia Yan were somewhat displeased, for the question of Shibei, Xia Yan told everything that happened the day before yesterday, the duel with the mirror, what he saw and heard after returning to Zen, and after understanding the situation, Shibei nodded with satisfaction.

"Hey, Jubei, this is your partner? Looks pretty good, it's time to go and meet Victor, right?"

Mo Cha led the horse to the two of them, and the day before yesterday he learned about Xia Yan's situation from the Ten Soldiers, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"Who is this guy? Who is that Victor? After being separated for a while, it looks like you've met a lot of new companions......" Xia Yan smiled bitterly.

"He's ...... Putting that aside for now, the other two friends are rushing to the cultists' camp to rescue the villagers who have been taken away. The Ten Guards summoned their horses and persuaded Natsuhiko and the three of them to move in the direction of the camp where Victor and the others went......

After some time, Delacro and his party had quietly approached the pilgrims' camp, and without being noticed, White climbed a large tree with dense foliage and a condescending bird's-eye view of the entire camping area. There were a few tents set up in the center, and a few idle prisoner vans were parked nearby, but there were bursts of crying from the back of the camp, looking very helpless. From time to time, crows flew in the sky, as if to indicate to passers-by that this was the camp of the cursed, and there was a slight rustling sound in the trees not far away......

In the bushes just a few steps away from the hiding place of the men, a cultist was lightly standing by the stump, but unaware of the danger of death, Delacro was sneaking a few meters away, his sharp dagger unleashing an astonishing murderous aura.

"Tell me. How many of you are there?" Delacro asked quietly, stepping forward and strangling the man's neck.

“...... What do you want to do?......" The dagger pierced his throat, and Victor was a little disappointed by this result, so he had to signal the two White and Suke, who were hiding nearby, to prepare to storm the camp.

"People should be in tents, a surprise attack will have a good effect, are you ready!?"

White waved the iron spear and pointed it at several tents in the center of the camp, Suke hurriedly sharpened the blade of the double-edged sword, picked up a few throwing axes and rushed forward, and the moment he stepped into the camp area, he killed three patrolling pilgrims with his flying axes, and several sentries who rushed to hear the sound were also killed under Suke's sword, and the whole camp was suddenly turned upside down......

In order to cover the red-eyed Suke, White shot several crossbowmen in the distance with his bow and arrows, and Victor also took the opportunity to sneak into the tent, using only a short dagger and his swordsmanship, easily washed the pilgrims who did not have time to resist, and the splash of blood stained the gray tent red......

The sneak attack was very successful, and in just a few minutes, more than a dozen Dark Cultists had died at the hands of three people, but a large number of new enemies appeared in the jungle not far away, and it seemed that a prisoner team had come to escort the captured villagers, and more than two dozen pilgrims swung their iron rods at the three of them.

"Well come!!Die, bastards!!"

Sooke's axe shattered the skull of a pilgrim on the spot, and he swung his sword to slash at the enemies who were rushing at him, but the cries for help from nearby reached his ears, and Sook broke through the way and went straight to the outskirts of the camp where the captives were being held.

After coming to the other end of the camp, a prison cell of dozens of square meters appeared in front of Su Ke's eyes, and nearly thirty innocent civilians were imprisoned behind the steel railing.

"Suke, we're here, that guy has the key!!" shouted an old man in the cell, who seemed to be Sooke's father, and Suke had targeted a fleeing cultist.

"you!!!Eat me with an axe!!" The flying axe in Suke's hand hit the fugitive more than ten meters away with great anger, he chased after him, pulled the bloody axe from the pilgrim's back, and obtained the key, and returned to the prison to free all the villagers......

"Heretics, apostles who killed the Lord of Darkness for no reason, lay down your arms and surrender, the great Dark God will forgive you, or you will be judged by us!"

"It's ridiculous! As a god, he should take care of you cultists first? It's you who should surrender!!"

One of the elders of the pilgrims confronted Delacro, and due to the cultist's invective, Delacro gestured, and White, who was hiding nearby, drew his bow and shot the talker, and came to Delacro's side.

"It seems that you are determined to be our enemy! Then look at it, this is the blessing we have received in the test of blood and fire!

As the pilgrims chanted some incantations, a black aura emerged from the ground and enveloped the cultists. In the darkness, their eyes shone red, and the long stick in their hands pointed directly at the two Delacros.

"What power do you bastards have?" said a scabbard that flew from behind Victor and hit a pilgrim in the face, blood streaming from his flattened nose. The next few flying needles shot at the cultists in front of them, and Shibei, Natsuhiko, and Mocha also walked the forest path to the side of the two Delacros, and the newly formed team was officially assembled.

"Oh, isn't that a dish! That's interesting, five against twenty, how about one person and four?" Facing the fanatical cultists, Xia Yan regained his spirits.

"Don't be too confident, they're the same as before, lad......" White reminded.

"Old White is right! We will work together to send these cultists back to their hometown!!" Mo Cha couldn't stand Xia Yan's tone, and still felt that it was time to cooperate.

“...... If you strike you, I will kill mine...... Missing!!" Xia Yan rushed forward and slashed an enemy, leading five or six pilgrims to the east.

"What a mess, huh...... Shall we begin?" as the cultists formed a line and advanced towards them, Delacro and the others joined forces to engage each other in a bloody battle......

On the battlefield not far to the east, Xia Yan singled out the six fanatics in front of him, and his continuous slashing could not hurt these opponents, and with the fanaticism, his combat skills also improved, and they all blocked Xia Yan's knife with the long stick in his hand.

Due to the continuous bumps in a short period of time, many new gaps were added to the blade of the sword, and a dark pilgrim spoke: "How can it hurt us with that kind of broken knife that is about to break?"

"My knife is in tatters, in my hands, even if it's a wooden knife, I can make it work for real use!"

Xia Yan sneered and placed his palm on the blade of the knife, gradually moving along the blade, and the blade after being affected by Xia Yan's mysterious power began to emit a dazzling cold light......

"Forget it!!Spare your life this time!Let's go clean up the others!!" The pilgrims were frightened by the cold light and began to instinctively retreat, and the red light in their eyes gradually dissipated, and the frenzy in their hearts was completely drowned out by fear......

"It's too late!!Maitreya Flow!Moon Shadow!" Maitreya sneered and swung a sword, and the cold light of the blade turned into sword qi that pierced the bodies of several pilgrims, and the cultists fell in blood. Although Xia Yan's swordsmanship is less terrifying than before, it is a little more stable.

"It's really not enough to see ......" Dropping a word of contempt, Xia Yan walked in the direction of the camp......

The mercenaries in the camp also won a great victory, and while Delacro and the others were fighting hard, Suke led the rescued villagers into the battle, and the enraged peasants mercilessly knocked down the cultists who had ransacked their homes, ending everything in an instant......
