Chapter 14: Changes in the Eastern Prairies
"Long live the Holy Envoy!" Without any casualties, Ao Xingfeng single-handedly wiped out all the ghosts, and the Templars were filled with excitement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Okay, okay, the danger is gone, let's rest for a while. Ao Xingfeng smiled and waved his hand, calming people's excitement, and then looked at the wreckage of his tent with a helpless expression.
Although there were still extra tents, he was too lazy to rebuild them when it was almost dawn, and refused the Templars' offer to give them their tents, so Ao Xingfeng leaned against the fire and took a nap.
Early in the morning, when the sky was just dawning, Ao Xingfeng slept very uncomfortable, got up and washed up casually and went for a morning run around the camp.
"Good morning, Holy Envoy. The early Templars greeted Ao Xingfeng warmly, and the others got up one after another.
After a while, everyone had breakfast, dismantled the camp and prepared to continue the journey.
Ao Xingfeng stepped on his horse and was about to set off, when a small path due east came a few adventurers covered in bruises.
"Whoever, put down your weapons and stand where you are, waiting for me to come and check. Duolun stepped forward with a few Templars, and Ao Xingfeng watched from behind.
Time returned to an hour ago, in the troubled wasteland of eastern Iro, several survivors of the Holy Sword Adventure Group did not dare to stop longer, and set off in the northwest direction after taking a nap, their expressions were sluggish, and they were afraid that the undead pursuers would come, and they scurried through the rugged stone forest path.
"Deputy Commander, don't worry so much, right? The people from the Holy See are here, and the group of heretics don't dare to chase after them. Sri complained that they had only slept for less than three hours and were still overdrawn.
"Claire didn't say anything, what does your mother-in-law look like? Belo said, spitting.
"Don't you know that Claire is going to complain, am I not thinking about her?"
"Thank you, but you don't have to worry about me. Claire said without a smile.
"Hahaha, self-proclaimed amorous guy. Bero said in a mocking tone.
"If I hadn't been able to lift my hand, I'd show you a punching bag!" Sri said viciously.
"Who's afraid of whom?" said Berlo, rolling up his sleeves.
"Quiet, what if you are in danger later, can you deal with this?" said Abuchino, frowning.
"Cut, I'm too lazy to meet you in general, and I'm going to go. Sri muttered quietly.
After scurrying along the rugged path for a long time, Yabuchino suddenly noticed smoke rising from the sky not far away.
"Look, there's someone in that direction, why don't you want to go over and have a look?" asked the others for their opinions, and he didn't know whether they were friends or foes over there.
Claire looked up at the smoke and said, "Could it be someone from the Holy See?"
"I think it should be the Templars of the Holy See, who else would dare to make such a big fanfare? Sri raised the corners of his mouth and said, although the Templars did not have a good reputation among the civilians, adventurers knew that it was the luckiest thing to meet the Templars in times of crisis, which meant that both life safety and food and water were guaranteed.
"Well, I think so too. Bello said.
"Since everyone agrees, let's go over. With that, Yabuchino took the lead and approached in the direction where the smoke was rising.
After walking around the last corner, the vision suddenly opened up, and in front of them was a spacious flat land, but the most attractive thing for them was the team of heavily armed Templars, in front of the Templars was a young man in a white and red cloak, and the cold sword eyebrows and sharp eyes conveyed a signal to them, this guy has two brushes, although the portrait of Ao Xingfeng has been spread in the Holy See, but in the outside world, except for the nobles of the upper echelons of the kingdom, most of the others do not know what the holy envoy looks like.
"Who, put down your weapons and stand where I am," one of the Templars broke the silence and walked towards them with a few of his companions.
The Abuchino looked at each other and tacitly put their weapons on the ground, a customary rule that adventurers who asked the Templars for help had to be inspected by the Templars in case they were disguised as cultists.
Duolun approached and took out the miniature statue of the goddess, and carefully examined everyone, not only for pagan testing, but also for the possibility of assassins, although the Yabuchino people felt a little strange, but there was no excesses, of course, the person in charge of searching Claire was a female Templar, and the Templars were meticulous in their work whenever they did.
"Knight, do you have a place to rest for us after checking it? We haven't eaten for two days, haven't slept well for days, and are still wounded as you can see. Yabuchino asked flatteringly.
Several of the Templars who were inspecting nodded, and Duo Ron put away the statue and said, "We can give you food and water, and we can heal you, but if you want to join our ranks, I must ask the Knight Captain's opinion." Duolun told a small lie, even if these adventurers didn't seem to have any problems, but they had to guard against people, so they disguised Ao Xingfeng's identity.
"You wait here first. After saying that, Duolun walked back with someone.
"How's it going?" Ao Xingfeng asked, looking at the embarrassed adventurers.
"Captain Ao, there is no problem with the identity of those adventurers, it's just that they haven't eaten and rested for a few days, and the injuries on their bodies have only been dealt with briefly, they hope to be able to join our team, but I suggest treating them, leaving food and water sources and leaving. Doren reported on one knee.
Hearing Duolun's name for himself, Ao Xingfeng immediately understood Duolun's intentions, and then turned his head to look at Ma Lin on the side, his eyes seemed to ask Ma Lin's opinion.
"Captain Ao, I agree with the Rider of Doron, our journey is full of dangers, and it is not appropriate to take outsiders with us. Marin followed Duolun's title, mentally displeased, but on the surface he also pretended to be very similar, and Ao Xingfeng understood the meaning of his words, if he brought outsiders with him, the identity problem was a big hidden danger, although the Templars were very tight-mouthed, but they were afraid of what happened.
"Well, let's do as you say, let's stay here for a while, treat their wounds before leaving. Ao Xingfeng waved behind him and ordered, and the Templars dismounted to rest, with several Templars patrolling the surroundings.
Yabuchino and the others were relieved to hear Ao Xingfeng's order, the Templars were willing to give them treatment and food and water, they were already grateful to Dade, and they didn't dare to ask too much.
Several members of the Sacred Sword Adventure Group walked into the middle of the Templars, and several priests skilled in healing came forward and began to treat their wounds, and Ao Xingfeng dismounted and walked towards them, accompanied by a group of Templar guards.
When Yabucino saw the Templar Knight Commander approaching them, he hurriedly stood up and bowed in thanks.
"Sit down, you're all wounded, there's no need to make these forms too formal. Ao Xingfeng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Knight, for your understanding. Yabuchino bowed his head in thanks.
Sri on the side seemed to want to say something, but he seemed to be afraid of something, Ao Xingfeng saw this and asked, "Hmm, does this adventurer have anything to say? If there is anything, just say it, I won't mind." ”
"Ahh Sri said nervously.
"What? Is there a problem here, why do you need the Knights Templar's rescue?" Ao Xingfeng took the opportunity to try to understand the current situation in the outside world.
"Don't you know, now—" Sri said with a somewhat agitated expression, before he finished speaking.
Yabuchino interrupted him, glanced at Sri and displeased him, and then said respectfully, "Lord Knight, please forgive my companion for being rude." Allow me to answer your questions. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you name it. Ao Xingfeng sat casually on the ground, putting on a deferential look.
"It all started with the super earthquake, when our Holy Sword Adventure Group was investigating the anomalies in the Broken Mountain Range, and the sudden earthquake washed away our members, and after the earthquake, those heretics sprung up like bamboo after a rain, and all kinds of miscellaneous pagans that they had never heard of ran out, and the rescue teams stationed in various countries were attacked by them. Yabuchino said as he treated the priest with his right hand.
"At that time, our regiment was commissioned by the Iroman Rescue Army to assist them in defending against the infidel attack, and in the first few days we were victorious, and then suddenly there were all kinds of undead armies, like locusts crossing the border, none of the attacked camps survived, and the survivors who escaped were hiding everywhere, either eaten by the undead or hacked by the infidels, and the same was true of our Holy Sword Adventure Regiment. The more Yabucino spoke, the lower his expression became.
"I deeply sympathize with what has happened to you, but I would like to mourn and change my mind at this point. Ao Xingfeng comforted.
"Thank you, later, the survivors hid in such an environment, waiting for the rescue of the Roman Empire, until the news came that the emperor had abandoned the eastern steppes, and now this place is a paradise for the infidels, and the surrounding kingdoms have abandoned this place, leaving the weak survivors to live in the undead and the threat of the infidels. Yabuchino said, shaking his head.
"Then why don't you flee this place?" asked Ao Xingfeng.
"Alas, there are many people who have tried, the troubled wasteland is full of undead, and there is a large group of evil spirits waiting for the survivors to throw themselves into the net, a few days ago, our regiment was found by the undead in a foraging outing, and finally fell to the current point, five hundred and forty-one people, only four of us remained. Yabuchino choked up, tears falling uncontrollably.
"I see, well, you can come with us later, at least we can take you out of the prairie. Ao Xingfeng stood up, patted the dirt on his butt and said.
