Chapter 12: The Brief Battle Before the Holy Residence
Uncle Hunter and his family sat in the back of the car, and Ades sat on the left side of the coachman, and it didn't take long for him to break with the coachman.
The coachman has traveled from the Snake Canyon to the mouth of the Red River, and he has also been to the port of Nantes, "Uncle, I heard that Nantes is in a great depression now?"
"That was when the plague had just passed last year, and now the routes have resumed, but many people fled during the plague in Nantes, and now there are not enough people there, young man, if you want to find a job, it will not be difficult to go to Nantes now, the bread is full. The coachman held the reins of the horse with his left hand and the whip with his right hand, and chattered incessantly.
The carriage turned slightly, and the coachman continued: "Not only are there few people who do hard work, but the officials of the city lord's mansion are also short of people, and the government officials have posted announcements on the bulletin board by the city gate to recruit people, I heard that the city lord has personally handled the government affairs, and the ladies of the family have opinions, and it is said that a lady hooked up with the sailor, just because the city lord does not go home all day long, and he is as tired as a dog when he goes back, and he has no time to take care of the ladies......."
Ahem, spreading information is something that the common people like to see, and Ades is speechless. Entering the town, the three of them went to Elan's carpentry shop first, Hunter and Elan muttered and hid in the room not knowing what to discuss, Colleen sat on the edge of the corridor, with a happy smile on her face, probably because she had drunk Uncle Hunter's ** soup and hadn't woken up yet.
Ades is bored, wandering around, touching this and looking at that, Uncle Elan's wood here Ades has already figured out, and there is nothing special, some hardwoods for furniture, some fir for living utensils, etc.
After a while, Hunter and Elan walked out of it. "It's mysterious, it's definitely not good. Adès turned his head to look and muttered.
"Colleen, Ade, bring your weapons and let's go to the Holy House. Uncle Hunter glanced at Colleen with concern, and then said to Adès: "Put the mountain goods here in Elam, he will help us deal with it, and we will go to the Holy House to find the priest to show Colleen, and by the way, we will solve those things." ”
Colleen is just a farmer's daughter, but thanks to the support of Adès and Hunter, she has been learning agricultural knowledge and doing some basic combat training in the past few years, and slowly moving forward in the direction of becoming a priest of Mother Earth.
A vine shield covered with cowhide and a small mace are her weapons, and she wears a set of delicate leather armor...... Valiant.
Ades also put on a set of leather armor, because of the breeding reasons, he does not have a fixed defensive armor equipment now, and it is expensive to customize a set of exquisite leather armor, and it will be a waste if it does not fit in a year and a half.
Hunter felt powerless when he saw Ades pick up the hardwood iron spear again, and always felt that Ades should use a sledgehammer and axe to be a man's romance, and his weapon was a refined one-handed battle axe, with a single edge with a mace, which was a practical weapon with great lethality.
The Goddess of the Forest's stronghold in this town is in a wooded area to the north, about an hour away from the town, and since it is a road away from the town, the scope of influence of the Holy Residence is only a small place, so there is still a certain danger on the way, and weapons and armor must be equipped.
============================= divider =============================
"Quick, Adès, you go to the front to support first, Colleen, you follow me. ”
Less than five hundred meters into the woods north of the town, there was a sound of fighting in the depths of the woods, and the fight that could arise near the sacred residence of the forest goddess knew who it was aimed at without asking, so at the same time as the sound of the fight, Hunter gave the order.
"Uncle and Sister Colleen, be careful, I'll go first. "Ades also knows that the situation is urgent, he has been living in the forest for the past few years, under the influence of Hunter, he also has a certain affection for the goddess of the forest, and when he becomes an adult, he will consider believing in the lady, and now there is someone attacking the lady's holy residence, and it is under Hunter's nose, it is natural to help the lady's believers resist the attacker.
Originally, Adès was an atheist, but after such a miraculous thing, the gods were not so difficult to accept, and more importantly, what if he died and was pasted against the wall?
Ades walked through the forest quickly, and the powerful physique given to him by the bloodline showed a very obvious effect at this time, in this kind of all-out sprint running, Ades's degree was not weakened by distance, and with the breathing method of the guidance technique, he didn't even feel that he was running, and the usual breathing strength was the same, but the rhythm was faster, and the frequency of deep breathing appeared more.
Four hundred meters, the location of the battle is getting closer and closer, the sound of the fight is getting clearer and clearer, the sound of a weapon exchange is coming, mixed with the sound of human breathing, Ades judged that the number of people on both sides should be about five.
Behind a tree thirty meters from the center of the battle, Adès paused and listened intently to the sounds of the fight.
"Filthy black-blooded beasts, you are too much to take it personally. "It's a young man's proud voice.
"The Beastmaster is on top, I'll fight with you!" this is probably the voice of the enemy on the other side.
Well, the battle situation is one-sided? Adès stuck his head out from behind the tree and looked left and right, well, the position is a little bad, there are bushes in front of him blocking part of the battlefield, and he can't see clearly.
I walked closer from a different angle, and saw two rangers, a druid and a priest, forming a defensive formation and being pressed and beaten by two rangers of the forest goddess, and two other druids were on guard on the perimeter, and there was a priest behind who observed the battle with a cautious eye.
Although there were nine people, six were involved in the battle, and Adès was not disappointed by a mistake in judgment.
The priest of the side who was being pressed and beaten had just finished casting a spell, and there was an emblem that was clearly Marat's on the shield that was still dancing in his hand, "It's this group of stupid Marat believers who have no tactics or cooperation." The corners of Adès's mouth twitched, and he thought disdainfully.
Marat's ranger just wanted to desperately rush out of the encirclement, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and he succeeded in adding an extra sword wound to himself, and the other ranger was oppressed by the goddess's believers and roared again and again, and couldn't pull out to help.
At this time, the druid in the middle stretched out his short spear and raised it, summoning a black bear, which was put in the position of the original ranger, and the injured ranger wanted to retreat, but the druid shouted at this time: "Rush." The Ranger had no choice but to take the lead, temporarily gaining a numerical advantage.
The druids who were standing behind the forest goddess saw it and began to summon the beasts, and were casting spells, and the priest of Marat glanced at the druids, and the druids shouted again: "Hold on." When the two rangers heard the order, they could only use all their skills to carry it, but unfortunately the two spell-casting professions in the back were not angry, and seeing that there was a vacancy in the encirclement, the two of them wanted to escape from the side.
The two deserters ran for their lives in the direction of Adès, and the two horse-drawn rangers were demoralized by witnessing the abandonment of their parishioners, and their attacks were reduced in frequency.
Behind the tree, Adès saw the two deserters from the battlefield coming straight to his side, one in leather armor and the other in iron armor, he had nothing to think about, and when the deserters crossed his position, he picked the druid wearing leather armor and waved his hand hard, throwing the throwing gun in his hand at the druid.
A black shadow, as fast as lightning, with a "poof......" sound, the spear pierced through the druid's right abdomen, across the body, and the head of the spear protruded from the left abdomen.
The Marat believer never expected that there was a man hiding behind the tree, and he screamed, and the pain of being pierced through the liver by a spear made his whole body tremble, and his body went limp, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
The priest didn't care so much, he ran straight forward, even if he saw that the druid was badly wounded, he didn't mean to stop, and ran straight in the direction where Ades and the others came.
Ades didn't chase after him, he stood up from behind the tree and slowly walked towards the badly damaged druid, when the priest of the goddess of the forest, who was watching the battle, came over.
"My name is Adès, Hunter's apprentice. Adès hurriedly revealed his identity, this is not the time to pretend to be forced, it is not good to be misunderstood.
"Hmm...... My name is Ivan Cardinal, you can call me Ivan. The priest, who was wearing chain mail and carrying a short-handled hammer and a round steel shield, softened his expression and nodded to Adès.
Adès said to the priest with a solemn face: "Mr. Cardinal, I have also been intercepted and killed by these people before, and I have no hesitation in dealing with these people. The pastor was a mid-level professional at first glance, and it was right to speak to him with respect and hatred when he saw people talking.
"You're welcome, I've been friends with your master for many years. Cardinal shook his head, took two steps forward, and stuned the druid with a single hammer: "These people are a disaster for the forest, we have a common enemy. ”
"Uncle Hunter is in the direction of the priest's escape, do you want to take a look?" said Adès, concerned about Hunter, cautiously to Cardinal.
Ades didn't dare to leave here at will, you said that you were Hunter's apprentice, others may not believe you, you can only build yì, you can't decide.
Cardinal turned his head to care about the battle of the rangers over there, and comforted Adès: "Don't worry, Hunter's leg inconvenience is only for people of the same level or higher than him, and that priest who is afraid of death will not be your uncle's opponent." ”
Adès couldn't help it, nodded silently, and followed Cardinal to continue watching the excitement.
