Chapter 19: Who Are You?
These days have been incredibly long for Giles, and if he could choose again, he would never sneak up on that seemingly dying team. However, there are no ifs in life, and everything has to be done at a corresponding price, and under the siege of multiple enemies, the knights of that team have been seriously injured and rushed out of the siege. And then there's the long jungle trail.
Anyone who has ever ventured knows that it is foolish to try to track people down in the jungle at night, first of all, the darkness will make you lose clues, and you will miss enemies, and there is no shortage of enemies in the jungle. Secondly, the dark sense of uneasiness can easily drive people crazy, even if they can barely calm down because they are surrounded by a crowd, but the large consumption of physical strength and mental instability can easily make teammates become landmines.
Giles felt that at least he was lucky, the other party obviously had no room to cover up his tracks, and the monsters in the dark night had already returned to the nest to sleep, even if they chased the wrong direction several times, they could still find clues to the other party's progress, and successfully caught up.
"Fuck, that stinky thief. At this time, Giles's wound that had been simply bandaged began to ache again, as a rather large team of adventurers, it seemed strange that there was no priest in it, but the reality was that even the lowest-ranking priest was the object of all kinds of teams. Even if it is only a third-order priest, it can often be mixed in the fourth- and fifth-order teams, which directly causes the reason for the scarcity of magicians and priests in the low-level adventurer team, of course, although magicians are scarce, the lack of practicality is also a shortcoming.
"You're here, you've worked hard. Giles said to a strong man who had just entered the camp, and the strong man looked at Giles with contempt, snorted and went to rest in his tent without nodding.
Giles's greeting hand froze in the air, and then let it go in embarrassment, feeling extremely angry in his heart. Although the team agrees with itself to lead, it does not mean that they can completely dominate the party, not so much that this is a near-medium-sized multiplayer party, but rather that it is a large group of small adventurers, each with its own style. In normal times, they scattered around a place to search for prey, and each small team only helped each other when needed, and there were not many large-scale operations like today, but Giles, as the rallying person, was inevitably responsible for the failure of the entire adventure team. In fact, many people are already quite dissatisfied, everyone searched in the jungle for most of the night, and even the people stationed in the jungle were all transferred, and the result was not only many injuries, one death, but also the other team's team was still alive, not to mention, there were even two more people... If it weren't for the fact that everyone realized that they couldn't regret it, maybe they would have dispersed a long time ago.
"What are the results of the investigation? Giles entered the camp, and a small figure followed, standing with his hands down.
"They probably don't have reinforcements, if anything, it's the original two people in that camp. 」
Although this had been expected for a long time, this report still made Giles's face hot as if he had been slapped in the face, and he was actually killed by a little trick by a thief, and even injured himself.
"Those two guys will naturally be dealt with, is there anything unusual in the camp?" Giles already knew who those two people were, but they were two third-order magicians, and they didn't have to do it themselves.
"No—" The man hesitated.
"Say, did the thief set the trap?" Giles asked anxiously, his eyes flashing.
"No, it's not a trap, just an archer report that it seems to have heard an unexplained explosion yesterday. The short figure quickly explained.
Giles groaned, there are many reasons for the explosion, but this situation should be made by magicians, but if they can create a magic that can easily destroy more than a dozen third-order powerhouses, then it is long overdue to study in the Elemental City Magic Tower, how can they still kill demonic beasts in this kind of place to make money... It doesn't matter what it is, the conspiracy is only used when the strength is insufficient, and conversely, when the strength is enough to overwhelm the other party, the conspiracy is just a joke.
"It shouldn't be a trap, so let's go as planned, assemble in thirty minutes, and attack their camp. Giles smirked, his team had finally gathered last night, and in order to avoid too many nights, it was time to eradicate all threats.
After marching for a while, sending all the archers out to take up a vantage point, Giles could already see where the opposing camp was.
"Boss!" the diminutive figure snapped back.
"What's wrong, is there anything abnormal?" Giles replied calmly, his side has an advantage in terms of numbers and combat power, and even if the opponent's combat power is fully recovered, it will not be an opponent on his side, so there is really nothing to be afraid of.
"No, it's the leader of the other party who wants to talk to you. The diminutive figure said.
"That blonde swordsman, talk, what's there to talk about, it's all come to this point, we let them go, who will let us go. Giles snorted, the swordsman looked quite good-looking, he didn't expect to be so naïve.
"No, it's the original owner of that camp, named Allen, who wants... Surrender—" said the diminutive figure with a wince.
"Surrender, trying to ambush us?" Giles' first reaction was to be deceitful, to surrender, he should have surrendered when they attacked for the first time, right?
"No, according to him, he drugged his diet, and now the people are all tied up, except for the one named Allen holding a white flag. The short figure looked puzzled, he also felt that this was really unreasonable, but what tricks could people play when they were tied up.
"This..." Giles was also puzzled, did the other party really feel that he was a disaster, and wanted to surrender and save his life?
"Come around and see. Giles finally gave the order, anyway, it was going to surround it, get closer and see what tricks this guy was playing.
Giles walked out of the forest, and archers and warriors all came out in a circle around the camp, and they watched in amazement.
The swordsman, knight, priest, mage, and thief were all tied to the ground, and except for the mage, who seemed unconscious, the rest of the people all stared at the young black-haired boy in despair.
"I just want to save both of us. The black-haired boy named Alan said calmly, not showing a trace of nervousness when he encountered the pressure of the army.
"Since you've helped me tie them up—" Giles smirked, raising his hand to give the order to attack.
"I advise you not, you just give the order, and I will pull the rope to untie them immediately, and then we will not survive, but you will definitely die and be injured. Alan said and gestured to the end of the rope in his hand.
"Then they'll kill you first, too." Giles snorted through his nose in contempt.
"Then it will kill you. Allen's expression didn't waver.
Giles slowly lowered his hand, in fact, he also had palpitations about the combat strength of these people, and it seemed that except for the knight's broken arm and the mage unconscious, the injuries of the others seemed to be healed, such a lineup said that it was impossible to win them, but it was okay to cause some trouble.
"Leave you alone, you dream!" a slurred voice suddenly came from behind Giles.
Glenn appeared behind Giles with his three companions, Glenn tauntingly knocked the giant axe in his hand, and his hideous smile and the scar on his mouth looked particularly ferocious.
"I'm just trying to protect myself. Allen finally showed a little horror on his face and took a few steps back.
"Aren't you arrogant, kid, aren't you going to smash my stinky mouth? Glenn looked at Alan's frightened expression and felt a sigh of relief.
"Really... I'm really sorry, please let us go. Allen's face finally showed the immaturity that he should have at this age, and fear and horror were intertwined with Allen's current expression.
"You kid, is that what you apologize for!" Glenn roared fiercely, and the others smiled mockingly, they were only children after all.
Alan seemed to be frightened and fell to his knees.
"Don't you think your head is too high? Glenn looked at the scene in front of him and smiled evilly, and said with an axe to the ground.
"Please... Please forgive me. Alan buried his head in the dirt and pleaded on his knees.
"That's right, this is a good boy!" Gülen ignored Giles, who was trying to dissuade him, stepped forward, and looked at Alan who was kowtowing to himself in front of him, this posture was really good, Glenn slowly raised his axe.
"How... Suddenly, Glenn found that he could no longer lift his axe, and his mind felt as if it were being concentrated with a stuffy stick.
"As a matter of human survival, even if you don't consume food for a week, it won't cause any harm to your survival. Alan stood up casually and wiped the dirt from his forehead.
"What's the matter, release the arrows, release the arrows quickly. Giles also sensed that something was wrong, and tried to give orders to his companions, only to see them fall one by one.
"Water is another element of survival, and even if you don't drink it for three days, your body can still function normally. Alan looked at Glenn, who was still holding himself with an axe, and expressed a little appreciation for the tenacious vitality of the people in this world.
"You little bastard, I'm going to tear you apart. Glenn said in a hoarse voice, but he felt as if his chest was being crushed by a large rock, and he couldn't breathe at all.
"However, oxygen, which is one of the elements of human survival, can cause coma if it is not ingested for four minutes, and death can occur after more than six minutes. Sure enough, for you to be right to estimate the time a little wider, your survivability is truly amazing. Alan clapped his hands, but few could hear him.
Gülen was speechless, and the last image in his eyes was of Alan looking at him with mocking eyes and clapping.
"However, oxygen accounts for only 21% of the air. Ignoring the stunned and even a little frightened Roland and his party, Alan walked straight to a tent.
"Cialis, you can stop, thank you. Hylis smiled brightly at Alan, and then passed out, the magic crystal in her hand fell to the ground, and the black mist inside was noticeably lighter.
"I'll leave it to you, take them under control. Ellen sat down with the exhausted Cialis in his arms, kissed Cialis on the forehead, and then let Cialis lean into his arms. Lilith, who broke free from the rope and followed in, watched this scene, and involuntarily had a little inexplicable feeling in her heart.
"You... Who the hell is it?" Lilith said with mixed emotions, the boy who was able to perform such a terrifying magic was now sitting peacefully with the girl in his arms.
"Who knows, maybe I'm the devil. Alan laughed mockingly, not knowing whether he was mocking his enemies or himself.
