Chapter 64: Searching for the Dead
The princess studied the crystal all night, and with the help of Virgil's left eyesight, she was able to freeze the illusion into a single frame. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The princess slapped the table and pointed to the handsome young man in light green who was standing on a tree in the jungle with a bow and arrows, and exclaimed, "There is no mistake!
Yuri yawned, "Is that the protector you've been with you during your time in Muntia?"
Virgy said worriedly, "Didn't you say that General Ranger was killed in an ambush two years ago? and you were lured by the regent...... A forbidden ritual was used, causing him to be resurrected directly as a moon elf. ”
Yuri was also in a heavy mood: "That's right, it was because of this incident that the Guards General was controlled by dark thoughts and almost killed all three of us. ”
The princess's face turned pale, but there was an abnormal fanaticism in her eyes: "But this man is the Ranger General, and since I know his whereabouts, I must go to him." ”
Yuri said solemnly, "Hey, calm down. To be reasonable, the beast-like man in the pitch-black armor with the crimson light extinguishing on the armor and the heavy black iron arrows that one person hugs is the Ranger General. ”
The princess shook her long hair and said excitedly, "What if Benalis's grip on him is loosened, what if a miracle happens? ”
Tears glistened in the corners of the princess's eyes: "You don't know how important General Ranger is to me. ”
Yuri silently put the slash on his shoulder, grinned and said, "I see, this is like what Her Royal Highness the Princess will do for the sake of two wandering knights who are willing to bravely enter the prison." Virgi and I will accompany you. ”
Virgi nodded, smiled and said, "If our companion is in trouble, we don't have a reason to ignore it.
The three teenagers once again embark on a journey to the land of the Moon Elves. The ruins of the border fortresses and misty woodlands were still lifeless, and in this charred and sunken dark land, phosphorus fire fluttered at night, and the phosphorus fire gathered and swirled, turning into a blue tornado that reached the sky, and the princess felt a chill deep into her bone marrow in this cold and terrifying night.
Yuri and Vigi, on the other hand, were very calm, in their words, it was not the first time that they had personally participated in the war.
"I've seen a scene like this five or six times in the more than ten years I've been guarding Holy Thorn City. ”
"When I had committed war crimes and escaped from the sanitatorium in Alborne, I had returned to the trading city where I had been sacked because of me, and I saw the phosphorus fire in the night. ”
Yuri handed the hot water to the princess with relief, "Don't be afraid, it's more terrible than Benarys, who is still alive and dead, and even she is now her turn to be afraid of us." ”
At the next dawn, the boys officially stepped into the territory of the Hazy Moon Forest. However, they were saddened to find that the destruction of the kingdom of the Moon Elves was the same as that of the war-torn Jinxi Forest, which stretched hundreds of miles west from the border, and they could not see a single intact village, and everywhere they looked, there were devastated mountains and rivers and a bruised land.
Yuri said depressedly, "The mess that Prince Kayl has to deal with seems to be really tricky. It's just that I don't understand why Benaryse has lost power to such an extent, and there are still so many moon elves willing to follow her. ”
The princess replied solemnly: "Greedy people and witches who represent desires may be an inseparable symbiotic relationship. ”
Virgie put down the map, buttoned up his monocle, and said, "In the crystal illusion, the forest where the Ranger General appeared has appeared in front of our eyes. ”
The princess nervously put her hands on her chest and said silently, "Raphael, I hope we can see each other again." No, you must see me again. ”
The further you go into the foothills, the more shocking the decay becomes. The children displaced by the fighting, wearing unspeakably large shoes from the fallen soldiers, with black faces, but the whites of their innocent eyes were still clean, and they may have experienced days of hunger, and they were sitting weakly under the trees, stretching out their thin hands, and saying to passers-by, "All right, please give us a little to eat, or leave a copper plate or two." ”
The princess couldn't bear it, so she crouched down and quietly took out the money bag from the hidden space, and distributed one or two copper plates to each child. To the delight of the princess, the children jumped up and down as soon as they got the money, and ran into the depths of the forest with a shout of joy as soon as they got away with a smoke.
"These kids seem to be really hungry, and they are rushing to buy food. ”
Yuri and Virgi looked at each other and did not answer.
Suddenly, countless arrows shot from the forest. The princess was taken aback and was in a panic, but Yuri dragged her down and hid her behind a rock. Then a large net fell from the branches overhead, trapping the three men inside.
"What's the matter!" the princess looked around, clutching the nets in a panic.
There were elven youths in the trees who jumped down, and they threw their short knives and smiled evilly, saying, "It's good, I caught a big fish today." Look at the money bag you just had, it probably contained a lot of money. ”
Soon the children who had pretended to be poor slipped out from behind the adults, with their crossbows in their hands, and looked very skillful in winding their crossbows, and then grimaced at the princess.
The princess didn't understand what was going on, but Yuri and Virgi calmly replied, "First, let the children pretend to beg on the side of the road, and if passers-by show their bags of money when they give aid, they will be poisoned." This is not uncommon in war-torn areas. ”
Taking advantage of people's compassion to inflict harm, even children are used as weapons of robbery, and these guys have really degenerated to the point where they are inferior to beasts.
Yuri suddenly pulled out the slash, and after the cold sword light, the large net was split in two, and the swift sword qi swept the surrounding men to the ground like a shocking wave.
Virgil, on the other hand, uses updraft runes to summon a strong wind to sweep away the crossbow arrows fired by the children.
Virgy said calmly, "Stop, we are mercenaries hired by the Black Witch, and we are here to help you defeat the Resistance." ”
The moon elf man at the head said in surprise: "Great, I didn't expect you to be reinforcements sent by the black witch." Put away your weapons, everyone, long live the black witch!"
Virgy smiled, but Yuri was speechless.
Then Yuri raised the slash and slashed, setting off a wave of pitch-black flames: "These guys are really dark elves, and they really have been messing with Benalis for a long time, they will really become brainless!"
The princess, too, was so angry that she had been deceived by her kindness, and she spun her twin daggers in both hands, and pounced as swiftly as an angry kitten, and roared, "I don't want to think how Benalis's men could be so kind as to give money to the starving children!
The leader of the dark elves was proud of himself with a heavy mace, he raised his mace in a panic and smashed it down on Yuri's head, Yuri didn't shoot back the steam blade cannon, and then quickly retracted the steel chain, and his body flew towards the big tree behind the leader, on the way, Yuri's knees bent, and a rocket-like knee hit knocked down the leader of the big strong man, and the dark elves were all shocked, knowing that they had encountered a terrifying hard idea this time, they hurriedly threw away their armor and fled.
At this moment the horn of war sounded in the woods, and a cavalry of archers galloping through the jungle came from the bottom of the mountain. The captain of the cavalry gave the order to prepare for a surprise attack, and Yuri waved his greatsword and said, "And reinforcements? ”
At this time, the young knight beside the captain said loudly: "No, the girl in the green robe is not a dark elf, but a sun elf. ”
The captain raised his hand to signal everyone to stop attacking, and said loudly: "This is the Moon Elf Resistance Organization, don't be afraid, we will only deal with those fallen guys who call themselves dark elves." ”
The princess breathed a sigh of relief, it was a friendly army.
That night, at the Resistance camp, Yuri and the others finally had a steaming meal again after a long absence.
"You three...... You even beat the Dark Elves in the way like this?"
The boys of the Resistance were amazed at Yuri's fighting prowess, and Yuri liked to pretend to be a hero in front of children, so he showed his muscles and said proudly, "What's so surprising about dealing with such an unruly opponent? There are seven generals under the command of the black witch, known as the Apostles, each with earth-shattering abilities. I cut off two or three by myself, and that's a bit of a compliment. ”
The teenagers lost their enthusiasm instead, and said in unison: "If you brag too much, aren't you afraid of breaking your face?"
The leader of the Resistance asks the princess and Virgil what the purpose of the trip is.
"Find someone? It's the Witch in Black, right? Then we'll have the same goal. To tell the truth, our resistance group is under the orders of Prince Kayl, and is directly commanded by the sister of the Minister of Propaganda. The black-clothed witch who deceived everyone should be hiding somewhere in this deep mountain. ”
The pigtailed girl beside the captain raised her freckled face and said heroically: "It's just that there are always dark elves to block it, and we can't go to the primeval forest to search now." ”
The princess looked at the dancing firelight: "Of course we are also looking for the black witch, but in addition, I would like to ask, have you ever seen a ranger? He is very tall, very handsome, and super powerful. ”
The captain and the pigtailed girl looked at each other with inexplicable expressions and said, "There are no such characters here." ”
Virgi asked, "Can you think about it again?
The pigtailed girl said without thinking, "It's not a bomb, it's a feather ......"
