Chapter 51: Escape
The winged people in the air hesitated and exchanged glances with each other, and the pale-faced Saran hugged the broken arm, knowing that he was no longer an outsider's opponent at this time, and gave the order to retreat miserably.
"You can't escape, fallen demon. β
Saran's resentful eyes stared at Remia tightly, flapping her wings and soaring into the air.
"Goodbye, Sylvia. β
Remia whispered at the winged soldiers who had scattered and disappeared into the air in the distance, and muttered. He didn't know who he was talking to, maybe it was Sylvia who had abandoned him, maybe it was the winged soldier who had just fled, or it was just to his heart.
Remia's mood is extremely complicated, she has been chased and killed by her people all the way in Sylvia, where she has lived since she was a child, and she has killed so many people with outsiders. Remia didn't even know what kind of characters these outsiders who suddenly came to their aid, and at this moment, Remia even felt that her heart was full of sin. Just to keep his life going, he turned his back on his own raceβalthough, this is his own race.
Remia fell silently to the ground, silently standing behind Relos. The swordsman, who was extremely cold, was already leaning on Gui'er weakly at this time, and smiled bitterly while enduring the disgusting eyes of the half-orcs.
Lord Xueluo had already patted the dust off his body, and his indifferent expression was similar to the big fat man who was lying on the ground with his ass pouting.
As the first mercenary group on the Camlando continent that can have winged people to join, please understand Snowfall's excitement at the moment.
Rubbing his fat hands vigorously, the little eyes of the snow falling misty kept scanning Remia's body back and forth.
"A human water mage and fighter, Delis. Oh yes, she also has the identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Landis Empire. β
"Ice and snow fairy magician, pretty Miss Lola. β
"Orc Demon Archer, Gui'er. β
"And this, yes, the human swordsman who can't even stand still, Relos. Well, unfortunately, the head of the Demon Wings is indeed this guy. β
"And I, ahem, the great soothsayer Snow Fall, the most trusted servant of the God of Creation. β
After Xueluo introduced the members of Demon Wings to Remia very simply, her inquiring eyes fell on Remia, meaning that you should also hand over to the old man?
Remia nodded to each of them. Anyway, I've agreed to join them. Although at this moment, Remiah has faintly felt regret.
"My name is Remia, and my twin brother Samael suddenly turned black a year or two ago, and his temperament changed dramatically, killing my parents and many other people and disappearing. According to Sylvia's legend, the black wings represent an evil curse, and if it weren't for my grandfather's maintenance as patriarch, I would have been executed by my clan as the twin brother of Samael. Two days ago, after the death of the patriarch's grandfather, the elders, who had always suggested that I should be executed, unanimously passed a motion to execute me. β
Remia shook her head with a wry smile and said, "After two days of escape, I don't know where to go. When I was almost in despair, what followed was what you saw,
After saying this, Remia didn't want to say anything more, so she was silent.
The little goblin held his little face, looked at Remia attentively, and said happily: "Brother Remia, you winged people are so beautiful." β
Delis chuckled and pulled Lola, leaned into her ear and whispered something, the little goblin looked puzzled: "What I said is true, Brother Remia is obviously very beautiful." Why shouldn't you say it out loud as a girl? Lola loves him too!"
Delis giggled, but she blushed slightly, the innocence of the fairy girl, no matter what time it is, is so cute.
The neglected Xueluo shouted dissatisfiedly, "You still have the heart to joke, the large army of the Winged People is about to be killed!"
Relos said with a wry smile: "Indeed, I'm afraid it won't be long before a large number of winged people will arrive. Let's go. β
"We have a day and a half and we have to leave Sylvia. Remia whispered, the southern border patrol team had been mobilized by Saran in the encirclement and suppression team just now. It will now take at least a day and a half to mobilize troops from the city of Mikiro in the center of Sylvia.
After hearing Remiah's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Relos simply let go of Gui'er's support and lay down on the grass.
Unlike the rest of the race, the Winged People flying in the sky do not need to build a large number of towns on the ground to live in the same way as humans. Therefore, although Sylvia's territory occupies a large part of the Northlands on the continent of Camrando, all the winged people have settled together, and on the top of the cliff have established a huge and precipitous and magnificent city-state, Miquiro.
Almost all of the Winged people live in the city of Mikiro, and the scarcity of the number of races has also allowed the Winged people to maintain the clan system since ancient times. Patriarchs and elders constitute the highest authority. All adult men are born warriors, and there is not much division between the military and the civilian population. Due to the rugged terrain of Sylvia and the fact that there is almost zero road construction β the winged man who is born with wings will not be bored enough to consider building a few roads for walking and playing. Both infantry and cavalry, once they entered the territory of Sylvia, it was almost impossible to march through smoothly, so the territory of Sylvia has always been in a very peaceful situation. Neither the Landis Empire nor the Camero Empire in the past, nor the Ezeilo and Locamia Republics in the present day, had any idea of going to war with Sylvia.
It is only along the territorial borders that Sylvia sends out patrolling winged squads every day, symbolically patrolling the borders, mainly against some daring adventurers.
However, this also led to a situation like today, when Mikiro sent Saran to chase down the winged army from Remia all the way, and the patrol team was still defeated, the re-sent army had to arrive from distant Mikiro. Even at the speed at which the winged people fly, it would take at least a day and a half to reach the border.
After a short break, Relos replenished a large amount of food and water, and then extravagantly asked Delith to cast a "Bolinna's Gift" on herself, and Relos finally regained his ability to take care of himself. Although you can't fight, you should have no problem walking on your own.
Relos touched the ownerless flower behind him with palpitations, remembering the terrifying feeling of this strange long sword absorbing his own strength, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
After a brief discussion, Relos and Snowfall listened carefully to Remia's opinion about the Wingman army, and decided to withdraw from Sylvia territory first, and take refuge in the border jungle of Ezero for a while. Wait for the winged people to go through a wave of frenzied searching, and then sneak back carefully. Because at least what is certain is that the Wingmen, who have suffered a crushing defeat, and the search army sent out again from Mikiro, is definitely beyond the reach of Relos and the others. And in the steep mountains of Sylvia, the mobility of the Winged People is unparalleled, and once discovered, even escaping is a ridiculous dream.
Remia did not express his opinion on the idea that the group was going to enter Kashmir via Sylvia, which was revealed by Relostein. Helping Delis return to the kingdom or sneaking up on the mission of killing the fairy king, Remia is not too interested.
Without the Wing Man who has betrayed the motherland and his relatives, his sad heart is like a pool of stagnant water, and he has no interest in anything.
Almost returning the same way, a day later, Relos and his party, who had not stopped at all, had already left the territory of Sylvia, and vaguely saw the red soil plateau characteristic of the orc empire in the distance. The desolate red earth whipped up the wind and sand, which made Remia, accustomed to grass and stones, very unaccustomed to it. The raging and sandy wind forced Remia to fall from the sky and choose to walk with the group.
Although he had left Sylvia, the empty Red Plateau still made Relos feel very unsafe. Years of military service have cultivated a stoic and cautious character, and he knows that it is very dangerous to be exposed to the plateau at this time, and the winged army may have reached the border at this moment.
Therefore, although Relos saw that his companions were exhausted, he still decided to continue south, and he must enter the forest area of Ezeiro. Only there, the thick iron woods, can completely cover their whereabouts. Even if the Wingman chased in, it would be able to prevent the Wingman from flying quickly in the dense woods.
When everyone was exhausted, when night fell, they finally entered the Iron Grove area. Xueluo gasped and said that she strongly asked to take care of the feelings of a fat man, and solemnly stated that she would rather die under the feather arrows of the winged man than die of such embarrassment.
Remia looked in Sylvia's direction and was silent. Along the way, Relos and the others had gotten used to his expression. Whoever is abandoned by the place where they grew up, almost all of their relatives have died, and the only brother is a fallen demon, such a feeling can be desperate.
Everyone didn't know how to comfort him, and Gui'er, who was a half-orc, silently patted him on the shoulder and sighed. The cheerful little goblin also seemed to be infected by Remia's sadness, and smiled a lot less, more often than not, he just obediently followed the team and did not speak.
"Those who have no homeland!"
Relos sighed leisurely, leaned against the thick iron tree, and watched as the night completely covered the entire sky.
Relos smiled suddenly, remembering that he was also expelled from the Republic of Lokamia, fate is such a strange thing, he can always meet similar people together.
Relos saw that Delith was also looking at the night sky in distraction, maybe the exiled princess of Lantis was also missing that homeland, or maybe she was still thinking about the cowardly people of Panicia?
The indifferent Gui'er took her bow and arrows to prepare for dinner, and the orc's eyesight was also very good at night.
If the pursuers of the Winged Man had a little brain, they would give up the idea of continuing the pursuit at night. Gui'er's ghostly archery skills will surely impress the fleeing wingman soldiers, and the wingmen's eyesight at night is almost equal to zero like that of humans, and exposure to the arrows of orc archers is tantamount to suicide. So, at least at night, it's safe for the time being.
Snowfall and Lola quietly picked up a large pile of dead branches and leaves, and the fat man took the flint out of his body and lit a bonfire.
After the fierce battles and the non-stop trek, the woods were silent with exhaustion and fatigue, except for the crackling of the branches of the campfire.
