In the afternoon of the next day, the trio finally arrived at the vicinity of the village of Ellerdeig. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the terrain gradually became potholes and they had to climb the mountain, the three had to tie their horses to the end of the jungle and continue on foot to their destination.

The mountain road is winding, the path is not wide, and the grass, wildflowers, and trees on both sides are high and low, and they are scattered.

The green grass was knee-high, or only as high as the height of the feet. In the grass, there is the music of crickets and crickets, and they change their rhythms, and the duration is short.

I don't know which tree the cicadas are not willing to be lonely, and the loud cicadas chirp out of the air, as if they meet crickets and crickets competing for height.

In addition to the chirping of these insects, Rogge seemed to faintly hear other sounds in his ears, such as those coming from the ground.

Soon after, they came to a high plateau, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the valley, a unique group of chainmail cavalry, without the insignia of the regular army of the kingdom.

This group of cavalry is uniformly equipped with black chain mail, iron helmets, tall and fast horses, and light but lethal weapons, like scouts under a certain force.

With his first impression of these scouts, Rogge asked the two executors for news: "Rolf, do you know which country these guys are soldiers from?"

"They are not regular armies, the Holy Cult has known all aspects of the Calradia kingdom for hundreds of years, the cavalry of Swadia is a hoplite knight, and the Kugit is a steppe hussar, although the Kingdom of Vegia has chainmail cavalry, but it is busy fighting the Nords, and it is impossible to venture to the ****** Holy Mountain. Rolf analyzed it and was sure that the scouts were not the kingdom's army.

As for the fact that Rolf did not mention the Nord Kingdom and the Duchy of Rodok, it was because these two countries did not have a formed knightly order at all.

The Nord Kingdom only has a small number of scout cavalry, and there is no cavalry formation, which may be related to the fact that they were originally immigrants from the cold ice and snow continent in the north.

The Principality of Roddock, located deep in the mountains, was not suitable for cavalry, and they simply relied on hiring free riders and mercenaries with horses to form a scout cavalry team.

At this time, a mighty team of gray-robed walkers appeared on the other side of the valley, none other than the disgusting dark cultists.

One of the pilgrims ran to the cavalry and said something to one of the cavalry leaders, who ordered everyone to move forward and quickly disappear at the end of the valley.

"The Eagle Dogs of the Drua Order! Looks like these guys are going for the Holy King's relics, we need to stop them as soon as possible!" Rolf was furious, and stomped on the foundation of the cliff, and the three of them slid straight down.

In less than ten minutes, the trio arrived at the center of the village of Al Deig, a once-peaceful village that had lost its breath of life.

The buildings of the village were set on fire, the villagers were killed, and the bodies of several villagers hung on the branches of a nearby tree, and the eyes of the three were covered with blood and ashes.

Trevor was already resentful, and when he went to a nearby well to get water to put out the fire, he found that the well was already full of dead bodies.

In a fit of rage, he smashed the well with a single whip. "Their deeds are even more disgusting than those of fanatical believers!

In order to prevent him from doing something stupid, Rogge calmed the enraged Trevor and reminded him, "It's a heavily armed cavalry team, and there are only three of us. ”

Although the two Holy Sect enforcers in front of him possessed martial arts that were not weaker than him, or even stronger than him. But he didn't think that the three of them alone could defeat a group of fifty knights.

In a fight, the knight's heavy armor is their best armor, and if the sword is cut directly, it will not hurt the knight hiding in the armor.

Rogge guessed in his heart that this group of heavily armed black-armored knights was most likely the same team of knights of unknown origin who annihilated the Freelance Knights patrol a while ago.

Rolf also decided to focus on the task, took out a map of the nearby area, and pointed to a coordinate on the back mountain.

"He's right," Rolf said. "Let's find the Saint King's Hero Badge first, and they are here to search for it now, so we must get it before them. ”

"Are you sure this is a treasure cave?" Trevor also delved into the map, but thought it was more likely that it was a warehouse.

"So what...... We don't have a clue now, we can only take it one step at a time!"

At Rolf's insistence, the three of them climbed the mountain behind Elledege, located in the westernmost rocky part of Bajicht, enough to overlook Ellerdeig and even the village of Yerege in the distance.

After searching around the scenic slopes for a while, they finally came to the storage point shown on the map, but the walk was much longer than the map indicated.

As they expected, the Drua scouts had already arrived before them.

However, it was not long after he arrived, but the cavalry leader ordered to pry open the door of the storage cave and sent his cavalry into the narrow passage of the cave.

Due to the other party's negligence in guarding, the three of them crawled forward and came to a position where they could hear what was being said on the other side.

I heard one of the Dark Pilgrims say, "This cave is a salt mine, there is nothing but salt and pickled fish, and what the Order is looking for cannot be miscellaneous items littered everywhere, right?"

The leader of the black cavalry picked up the gun in his hand and struck it on the man's head, and said angrily: "That's a holy thing, you dare to call it 'something'? I and other dark hunters directly under the Drua Order would not dare to be so presumptuous!"

"What you teach, what you teach ...... We'll keep looking in the pits. ”

The fanatical believers' attitude towards the Dark Hunter can be described as nodding, which also shows that the concept of hierarchy within the Drua Order is extremely serious.

"Then keep looking! Don't talk nonsense here! We'll go back to the village and wait for your news, and if dusk doesn't bear fruit, then leave your head. ”

These formidable Dark Hunters made a deliberate threat before leaving, and then mounted their horses and descended the relatively gentle mountain path, leaving the pilgrims to continue their search.

After what he had just seen, Rolf whispered to the other two: "If it weren't for this, then there would be no other caves in Aldeig, the badge is a holy relic, it must be hidden in an unexpected place, it will definitely be in the village, kill these guys and go to the village to find it!"

Rog and Trevor agreed, and when the cavalry disappeared from view, the trio rose and rushed straight to the dark pilgrims.

But before a massacre, he was stopped by Trevor, who explained: "We need some camouflage and no blood." ”

Rolf patted Rogge on the shoulder, hung the sword back on the buckle on his back, and motioned for Trevor to perform alone.

When the believers noticed Trevor coming towards them, they had not yet thought of fighting.

But Trevor didn't care if his opponent was ready, and whipped every pilgrim in an instant, and the enemies who were hit by the powerful whip fell unconscious.

"It's so powerful, I actually relied on the toughness of the leather whip to directly shatter their internal organs!"

Feeling emotional, Rogge took off the pilgrim's pilgrimage gown and put on a hood, and when Rolf and Trevor were also disguised, the three of them walked down the mountain together. (To be continued.) )
