Chapter 16 Breaking the Bamboo
"What are you doing in a panic, quiet. Barrick was mourning Michelle in the Great Hall when the clergy rushed in shouting and was immediately drunk by him. He was in a heavy mood now, and he didn't have the strength to speak loudly, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as a light drink.
The clergyman immediately did not dare to speak loudly, but the frightened look on his face did not disappear.
"Lord Barrick, Diaca ......"
"Diaca is back? What a quick move! Did he bring back Allen, or Ellen's corpse?" Barrick froze for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up, and he quickly turned his head to look at the clergyman. However, the frightened appearance of the clergy made him feel uneasy, and his face sank again, "What's wrong with Diaca?"
"Lord Diaca's soul mark is gone!" the clergyman said through gritted teeth.
Barrick shook his body as he listened. He looked at the clergy in disbelief, and then turned into a white shadow that shot out of the auditorium and came to the room where the obsidian plaques were placed.
The obsidian plaque that belonged to Diaca in the room was gone, leaving only a pile of black ash on the ground......
"Diaca is also dead...... "Barrick was in a trance. Michelle was his son, who died at the hands of Alan, and Diaca was his nephew, who was also killed when he was chasing Alan! After losing his child, he lost his nephew, who was about the same as his son, and Barrick sent the black-haired man, and he felt dizzy and almost fainted!
The clergy on the side were afraid that something would happen to him, so they wanted to help him, but he grabbed him by the collar when he came back to his senses.
"You say, Eren is going to die, isn't it? Eren definitely won't live, will he!" Barrick yelled, tugging at the clergyman's collar.
The clergyman was so frightened by Barrick's appearance that his feet went limp, his lips trembled, and he whispered, "Yes, yes, Lord Webber went after Eren with a team of fifty people who are good at tracking, and he can't escape." Even if he was lucky enough to escape Lord Wilber's team of fifty, he would run into the Monegasque Elder that Lord Patton had invited back. ”
"yes, and Wilbur's hundreds, and Monaco......," Balik's face rejuvenated.
The clergyman tried to comfort him a few words, but he suddenly pushed the other man to the ground, and then he got up and staggered towards the auditorium.
The clergyman rubbed his shoulder, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. In the eyes of a person as high as Barrick, a small role like him can only be a handyman, and he can only make a punchbag.
The other side.
"It's almost nightfall. Alan looked at the sky and said suddenly.
He has the ability to see at night, and things will be very favorable to him after nightfall. Although there are many strong people in the Temple of Light, firstly, those people cannot all come to chase him immediately, and secondly, as long as it is night, he is like a fish in water, and he can run far away at night, and it will be very difficult for those people to chase him after daylight.
Bending down to take off Diaca's fist gloves and space ring, Alan smiled faintly: "Sure enough, trading without capital is the most profitable." "Most people carry a common weapon, and this weapon is most of their wealth. They don't necessarily have much money in their space rings, but they still have a little spare weapons and emergency supplies, which is also a lot of income. After killing Michelle and then Diaca, Eren got at least seven or eight hundred thousand gold coins.
"However, it is not very cost-effective to let my Heavenly Demon Immortal Sword Talisman consume a lot of energy. After all, there's nowhere to buy eighth-order beast blood......"
With a slightly painful expression, Alan continued to run in a northeast direction.
A group of centaurs, led by Paladin Wilber, took a shortcut to a place that Alan might pass through: Mount Arret.
This team is full of warriors, including nine paladins, more than 20 shield warriors, and more than 20 berserkers. The youngest of the group was nearly thirty years old, and the oldest was in his fifties, and each of them had a face covered with horizontal flesh, and his arms and thighs were extremely thick. This is the light cavalry detachment of the Holy Crusade of the Temple, known for its fast marching speed and fierce fighting style. In small battles, they are tasked with exterminating the dark forces, often having to go through battles. In large battles, they serve as scouts, often chasing them with several times the number of enemies. Each of them has extremely strong reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, reasoning, and combat abilities, and is the backbone of the temple.
"Lord Wilber, you said Alan killed Michelle, and that Ellen kid could kill Michelle?" asked a berserker with a knife wound on his face, incredulous.
"Hmph, am I going to lie to you? Mistress Barrick was furious when Michelle was killed, so I asked me to take you after Allen...... Don't look at Allen's young age, his mage strength can be compared to the average seventh-order mage, and at the same time, he is at least a sixth-order warrior. Wilbur said solemnly.
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
"Lord Wilber, you're worrying too much! The weakest one of us here is Kanaz, and he's almost in the late sixth order...... Even if Allen is really equivalent to a seventh-order mage, and at the same time has the strength of a sixth-order warrior, so what? As long as we take two random people, we can defeat him by an overwhelming advantage!"
When Wilber heard this, he realized that his group was all sixth- and seventh-order, and no matter how strong Allen was, it was impossible to confront his group.
"Indeed, I was overthinking...... But cheer up! No matter how weak the enemy is, we must do our best, in the name of the Holy Cross!" Wilber drank suddenly. Immediately after, the whole team cheered. They are the elite of the crusaders, their discipline is 'eagles pounce on rabbits, fight to the death when the enemy is met', even if they encounter a weak enemy, they have to fight with all their strength, even if they encounter a strong enemy, they have to fight to the death, absolutely not flinching!
"Haha, the Lionheart Legion of the Lionheart Family is known as the first strong army of Shengao, although Alan is not a member of the Lionheart Legion, he is from the Lionheart Family. Today, let's let him understand what a real strong army is......" The scar man smiled grimly. Everyone around laughed.
Based on experience, the group judged the direction that Alan might flee to, and took a shortcut and quickly galloped there.
Alan shuttled through the woods and finally came to Mount Arret.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he felt that something was wrong.
He looked up at the nearby hillside, and a hundred meters away, among the large rocks and behind the big trees, a figure walked out one after another. These people are tall and burly, and each of them is full of fierceness, and at a glance you know that they are battle-hardened warriors.
"Holy Crusade light cavalry scouts!" Alan said through gritted teeth.
"You know us...... If you know us, you must know our strength!Surrender, you can't escape!" Wilber walked out from behind the tree with an iron spear and looked at Allen.
"Don't do that, sir...... Hey, Alan, show the courage of your Lionheart family, fight us and surrender!Haha, I've never abused a few warrior families, I must have fun today!" The scarred man had a scimitar in his hand, and he looked at Alan jokingly, like teasing the trapped rat in the cage.
The rest of the group burst out laughing. Most of these people are the children of commoners, and they are naturally resistant to the young master of a family like Allen.
Alan looked at everyone with a gloomy face and did not reply......
"Everyone!" the scarred man rushed out first.
Alan looked at the crowd that rushed towards him, and said silently, "Soul ...... Deter. His powerful spiritual power spread out in all directions, and the man with the scar was the first to be hit by Allen's divine thoughts, and the whole person fell to the ground in a trance, and then, more than fifty fighters of all kinds were hit by Allen's divine thoughts, some fell directly to the ground, and some shook their bodies but did not fall.
Everyone had a look of horror on their faces, as if they had seen something terrible......
"Heavenly Demon Immortal Sword, go!" The sword rune in Allen's hand turned into light and flew out, this sword rune had lightning speed, and in just the blink of an eye, it flew a distance of more than a thousand meters, and a sword pierced the throats of more than fifty people!
Alan pinched his sword, and the sword talisman was taken back by him!
Among these more than fifty people, at least four or five people have the ability to take over the Heavenly Demon Immortal Sword's one-and-a-half-move. It's just that they were all shocked by Allen's first use of soul attacks, even if they had already thought of fighting back in their hearts, but their bodies were still in extreme 'fear', and their minds couldn't control **, so they were easily killed!
After putting away the weapons and space rings of these people one by one, Alan looked at the corpses on the ground with disdain, and then turned to leave.
He found a herd of horses tied to them nearby, picked the best one to ride, and rode away.
In the Grand Temple, Barrick was waiting in the room with the obsidian plaque. He was confident in both Wilbur and Monaco, and he thought that if they were any of them, they would bring back Allen. However, he was still a little worried, afraid that something would happen......
"There aren't too many Lionheart powerhouses around here, and even if there are one or two Lionheart powerhouses, they shouldn't be the opponents of the Light Horse Scouts or Monaco. Barrick said to himself. However, as soon as he finished speaking, all the soul marks on the obsidian plaque representing Wilbur's group suddenly disappeared in an instant!
Bang!
All obsidian cards burst at the same time!
"What's going on!" finally a look of surprise finally appeared on Barrick's face!
On the other side, Monaco, the elder of the Church of Light, was rushing back from the Taymor Forest with more than a dozen strong men.
Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-nine years old this year, and his strength is in the middle of the eighth order, and he is the youngest of the thirteen elders under the four cardinals of the Church of Light, and the weakest one. However, his talent was very strong, and it was very remarkable that he could become a powerhouse in the middle of the eighth order at the age of thirty-nine. Barrick focused on developing him, wanting to train him to be his right-hand man. A key place like the Timor Forest needed to be guarded, and Barrick recommended Monaco.
Accompanying Monaco back was the Templar Reddy, who was also a mid-Eighth Order powerhouse. The rest of the dozen or so people were all above the middle stage of the seventh order.
"Alan dares to kill Michelle, he must have some ability, we can't underestimate him because of his low rank. Take a close look at the check times written on the letterhead...... I suspect Alan has already made it through the previous levels and made it to this neighborhood. If he dares to risk killing Michelle, he may not dare to ambush us. Be careful not to capsize in the gutter. Monaco spoke, his white mage armor lit up.
"Stay vigilant, everyone!" shouted Reddy. His body also lit up with a fighting armor.
All kinds of defensive spells flashed from the group's bodies. Several of the mage's magic pets, 'Demon Bats', flew out of their shoulders, and now that it was night, it was very necessary to use the magic pets to find their way......
Suddenly, Monaco sensed someone in front of them.
"Someone's coming! Guys stop!" Monaco said.
Five or six hundred meters on the opposite side, Allen also stopped at the same time.
'Why are there so many strong people, there are still eighth-order ones!The eighth-order powerhouses are protected by the law, and my spiritual deterrence doesn't know how long it can make them lose control?' That eighth-order warrior's fighting armor, can my Heavenly Demon Immortal Sword Talisman be split?' Alan felt a burst of pressure.
"Who's on the other side, friend or foe?" Monaco said in a loud voice. At the same time, he clenched his staff, and whenever he sensed that something was wrong with Allen, he would not hesitate to attack.
'Fight!' Alan gritted his teeth, and quickly pinched the spirit trick with both hands. This was the first time he had used a spiritual trick in this world......
