The weather is dark, and the Soler plateau ushers in the rainy season, and the torrential rain keeps falling, forming streams on the ground. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The water vapor was filled, and a fog gradually formed, and the view was severely obstructed.

A huge contingent of refugees walked on the muddy road, and the leader had to lead the way with a magic lantern, otherwise he would fall into an unknown hole.

They supported each other, gritting their teeth even if they were frozen and pale.

They understand that if they are left behind, they will be throwing their lives behind.

In the middle of the group, Arnold stared at the improvised map without blinking, frowning and lost in thought.

He didn't ride a horse, all the horses were loaned to Louis, and he was now the scout captain of the team, monitoring the enemies around the team.

He led them all the way east, without deliberately publicizing it, but he still underestimated the refugees' survival skills.

Along the way, refugees kept coming in, and one team after another gradually formed a behemoth, but the corresponding combat effectiveness did not improve much.

In addition to the militia, there are less than ten people with military training.

Although Louis had found nearly 100 soldiers who had escaped, they had lost confidence and were crushed by themselves in the face of the orcs alone.

Luis can only ask them to maintain the order of the team.

The crowd had grown to such a large size that it was impossible to hide, and Arnold encountered the orc team several times along the way.

After a few battles, the orcs gradually figured out his details, the number of enemies became more and more numerous, and the strength became stronger and stronger, and Arnold didn't know how long he could hold out.

The last time the half-orc, the lord of the fifth-order law realm had already appeared, and although he was repulsed, Arnold did not kill him, leaving a hidden danger.

Therefore, he must find a way to survive as soon as possible, and he must take them out of this blockade alive.

"Arnold, rest for a while, you've been battling this map for three days. Deborah brought a cup of hot water and relieved Arnold's fatigue with heartache.

The attentive Deborah understands the pressure in Arnold's heart very well, and he basically hasn't rested much along the way, either fighting or studying the map, hoping to find a way out.

Arnold sighed, took Deborah's hot water and drank it down, and put down the map in his hand in frustration.

"Deborah, I'm the one who has caused you to be a problem, after all, you are not from Adelaide, and you are not obligated to stay. ”

"No, Arnold, orcs are enemies of humanity, not just Adelaide's enemies, but I am only doing my part. ”

"Deborah. Arnold was a little moved, adversity can see the truth, and sometimes he didn't understand why, he and Sister Deborah had known each other for a short time, and even had some conflicts.

But life is so wonderful, the invasion of the orcs brought them together, this is not love, but a kind of partnership to fight for a common goal.

"Your Lord, Your Lord. Louis's voice broke the silence from far and near.

Arnold's face straightened, and he quickly got up, his hand already touching his weapon.

"Louis, what's wrong, panic, is the orc coming?"

"No, my lord, it's... It's the front... The Holy Beast appeared. ”

Rao is Louis's steady character, and he also finished his words intermittently excitedly.

"Holy beast, what holy beast?"

Arnold was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, he found that the crowd in front of him was in chaos, and vaguely saw someone worshipping something.

"Deborah, come with me. Luis, lead the way. ”

Arnold carried the Iron Hell Sword behind him, picked up the map, and followed Louis through the crowd and overtook him.

Arnold pushed the crowd away, and found a creature with a silver glow jumping between the stones a hundred meters ahead.

It keeps going around in circles, as if waiting for something.

"Elk?"

Arnold stared at the glowing creature and said it was a creature, but Arnold felt that it was not a real thing, and its body was faintly transparent, but it was full of agility, not at all like a magical creation.

"Look, the beast has stopped, hey, it's coming towards us, it must be a messenger sent by the Mother Goddess. ”

Arnold sensed that the creature was coming towards him, and he had just made eye contact with it.

"Look, the rain has stopped. ”

When the elk walked up to Arnold, something magical happened, it rained for a day and a night, and suddenly it disappeared, and the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the white moonlight behind the dark clouds.

"My lord, there is a legend in the local area that the sacred beast is pointing the way. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a hero who was lost in a predicament, it was an elk with a silver light, and he was taken out of the predicament, and the current scene seems to be somewhat similar to the legend. ”

Louis said with some excitement.

Arnold thought for a moment, walked slowly to the elk, tried to reach out and touch, but was dodged by it, and then it suddenly ran forward, ran a few steps and stopped, looking back at Arnold.

"You're telling us to follow you?"

Arnold asked.

The elk nodded, took a few more steps forward, and looked back at Arnold.

Arnold looked back at the crowd and was greeted by a myriad of hopeful eyes.

Arnold turned his head and was silent for a moment, "Louis, tell us to go down, we will change course and follow this elk." ”

"It's my lord. Louis replied in a loud voice, and the man was already hurrying to the rear, and he was looking for some militia captains.

"Deborah, you and Bartley go back and forth, and if something happens, send a magic warning. ”

"Good. Without saying a word, Deborah turned and left.

Now Arnold is getting more and more domineering, Deborah's face is a little red, and her body can't help but do what Arnold said.

Without the influence of the rain, the next road was much easier for them, at least no one would pass out with a pale face.

Perhaps because they saw the elk and became a holy beast of hope, the refugees rarely aroused high emotions and had great expectations for running out alive.

"This is here?" Arnold had followed the elk for a long time, had completely deviated from his original route, and was now in the middle of a mountain, and this area was not shown on the map.

Instead, outside the woodland, the words "Valley of the Sages" are written.

"Legend has it that there is a valley where the sages rest, but no one has ever seen it. Deborah rode to Arnold's side.

"Why are you here. ”

Arnold nodded, then asked.

"Louis found a team of half-orcs nearby, with an average strength of the fourth order, fortunately, there are no strong people who have mastered the elements. ”

"Oh?" Arnold knew that Deborah hadn't finished speaking, and if it was just these enemies, Louis could solve it himself.

"He saved two people, or two women, and was hunted by orcs all the time. ”

Arnold watched her quietly, waiting for her next step.

Deborah lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "One of them, called out your name in his sleep." ”

Arnold's face changed, and he guessed who it was, and hurriedly walked to the rear.
