126. Salvation 1

A green leaf fluttered and fell on Philip's hair, which was as messy as a bird's nest, and an ant the size of a grain of rice crawled out of the leaves, and through Philip's hair, down his cheek, and up to the tip of the earl's nose, the proud ant erected two slender vertical whiskers, as if to demonstrate to the strange thing in front of it.

The man's eyes were like dead wood, staring blankly ahead, without the slightest fluctuation, as if he had not seen the arrogant ant warrior at all, sitting on a makeshift wooden cart, and letting the soldiers push him forward.

Suddenly, Grace, who was walking at the front of the line, raised his hand, and the small team of less than two hundred people suddenly stopped, and Maren grabbed Rachel, who was about the same as the walking dead, and the veteran Harrison stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Grace looked nervously at the forest in front of him and said slowly, "I think there are a lot of humans approaching. ”

Even though it was daytime, Grace could clearly feel the strong human aura in front of him, and the sound of their hearts beating one after another was very clear to the ears of the Marquis.

"Alert, everyone is ready for battle. Harrison ordered to go down, although he was a veteran of a hundred battles, but he also felt uneasy, this demon suppression army was already supported by Zuihou's will, Philip and Rachel, the most powerful single combat power, had been abolished, since the two woke up in the woods far away from the mountain, they knew that George and Renard used a suicidal charge to break through the encirclement of the orcs, but they did not flee to the demon suppression pass, but went in the opposite direction, attracting all the orcs who built the encirclement.

As for their ends. Needless to say, you can also think of it, go deep into the bloody battlefield, go deep into the depths of the Demon Continent......

From then on, Philip and Rachel were like soulless, one sitting in a cart and the other being led by others.

The dense bushes were cut open by a sword, and the warrior in black heavy armor appeared in front of everyone like a demon god, the cold metal glowed with a bloodthirsty luster, and the faint red color was faintly revealed, indicating that the owner of the armor was definitely killed in the sea of corpses and blood.

Grace held his breath. Gritted his teeth and looked at the warrior who suddenly appeared in front of him. Holding her dagger tightly in her cloak, she fought hard to buy time for Philip to escape, even if it was daytime.

The warrior lifted the visor from his face. The handsome face has a cross scar. Grace finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Cruz!

See familiar faces. With the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army who kept emerging behind him, Grace let go of his heart hanging in the air, along the way. Her spirit was highly tense, and she was afraid that the orcs would appear if anything was going to happen, and now seeing Cruze appear here, she knew that the Demon Suppression Pass had finally received a distress letter and sent someone to save them.

From Cruze's mouth, it was learned that the Demon Suppression Pass had only received a distress letter four days earlier, and George had sent three messengers, but in the end, only one messenger had to go around in a big circle to deliver the letter to the Demon Suppression Pass, and as for the other two, the people from the Demon Suppression Pass had not seen them at all.

After receiving the distress letter, Cruze immediately mobilized, and Cruze took 3,000 people out of the pass to rescue, but when they arrived at the place pointed out to them by the messenger, Cruze only saw the battlefield where George had led people to fight with a small group of orcs earlier, and after a simple search, Cruze found that some orcs were assembling in a direction far away from the Demon Suppression Pass, and he thought that Philip and they were probably surrounded by orcs somewhere.

Along the way, Cruze marched rapidly, but sometimes encountered small groups of orcs, because to deal with them, the rescue force couldn't help but slow down, so much so that they were only met after Philip and the others escaped from the orc encirclement.

Seeing Cruze appear in his sight, Philip suddenly moved, as if suddenly changed from a dead thing to a living thing, he rushed to Cruze and said in a hoarse voice: "Save George...... Go and save George......" The straight eyes are like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw and wanting to hold on firmly, in Philip's subconscious, Cruze represents the Demon Suppression Army, and the Demon Suppression Army is the strongest army in the world, with them, George can be rescued.

Cruz was about to say no, but Grace had just told him that it was the second day since these people escaped from the encirclement, and two days had passed, and George had fled into the bloody battlefield again, and in this place where the orcs were overwhelming, the chances of him surviving were very small.

Seeing Philip's unwilling and eager eyes, Cruze's heart softened, sighed, and said, "I will send someone to search, but you will first follow the large army back to the Demon Suppression Pass." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The outcome of the search was predestined, and shortly after Philip and the others returned to the Demon Suppression Pass, Cruze came to Philip with the scout's report of exploration.

Following the direction of George's escape, Cruze sent several groups of scouts, and the final clue reached a wasteland deep in the bloody battlefield, where the scouts saw a large number of corpses and a large number of broken weapons, and then the clue was broken, George either fled into the Demon Continent or was captured by the orc army, and the latter ending was more likely.

Philip listened to Cruze's account in despair, and without saying a word, he went back to his room, closed the door, and curled up in a shadowy corner where the sun could not find it, and let regret and pain slowly eat away at his heart.

Philip doesn't blame Grace, the Marquis is her own woman, she is afraid of losing herself, knocks Philip unconscious, and forcibly takes him away, which is a sign that Grace loves him.

Philip just hates himself, it's not himself who goes to be a death squad, but George, Philip is also greedy for life and afraid of death, if he wants to sacrifice his life for an irrelevant person, he will never be able to do it, but if it is George, who has taken care of Philip in place of his father and mother since he was a child?

The person Philip would rather sacrifice is himself.

Had it not been for the fact that George had found out from the vicious wet nurse that she had fed himself mare's milk, Philip would have starved to death in his infancy.

If it weren't for George's use of his thin body to defend Philip from the bullying of other children since he was a child, Philip would never have enjoyed the aristocratic life of eighteen years in peace.

If it weren't for George, after Philip became a saint. Regardless of the family's criticism, forcibly sending the family's elite guards to him, and giving him a lot of pocket money every month, it is absolutely impossible for Philip to complete the research of electric magic jishu, and it is absolutely impossible to subdue the four major alien races in the territory, it is impossible to obtain Grace's aiqing, and it is impossible to have the confidence to tell his wife, who is a goddess, that he can survive in the chaos of Lobit.

George is Philip's spiritual pillar, one of the few people he can feel family affection in this shijie, and he is his dearest person!

In a way. He was no less important in Philip's heart than Katrina!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Philip and Grace lived in a small wooden building outside the makeshift barracks. The warriors returning from Carory and Panthion were temporarily placed together in a small barracks, pending further arrangements, and Philip and Rachel, who had been retracted from their souls, were placed in two small buildings, starting with their return to the Demon Suppression Pass. Basically, I stayed in my room and didn't get out of the room.

Grace looked worriedly at Philip's door on the second floor. Hands clasped tightly. I don't know what to do: "It's been two days, except for coming to hear from you, Philip has locked himself in that small room for the past two days." I didn't even have much food and water, and I was really worried that if he continued like this, his body would collapse. ”

Cruze shook his head, "That's not what you should be worried about, I remember that after participating in a tragic battle on the bloody battlefield, I found that Gatsby, a fellow villager who came with me to serve in the Demon Suppression Pass, was bitten to pieces by the wolf cavalry of the orcs, Gatsby is an old guy who grew up with me, we enlisted in the army together, and killed the enemy together, but Zuihou, it was he who died first." ”

"At that time, I was blinded. Cruze pointed to his head, "My mind is blank, how can I explain to his seventy-year-old mother, how can I explain to his wife and children, especially since little Gatsby is only one year old." When I came back to my senses, I found that I had been dragged back to the barracks by my comrades, I immediately grabbed a weapon and wanted to rush out and kill the orcs in the bloody battlefield, but fortunately, my comrades found out early, snatched the knife from my hand, and then tied me to the ground, and a whole week passed, I recovered from this state of madness to losing my mind. ”

"You mean, let me tie him up too?" Grace looked at Cruze suspiciously, knocking Philip out was something she had to do, and she couldn't do it if she tied up her own man again.

"That's not necessary, he's a magician, you just need to find a few soldiers to watch him at the door. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The door creaked open, and Philip glanced faintly at the two guards standing in the doorway like door gods, and said nothing, the two guards who looked at him nervously must have arranged it for Grace to be afraid that he would do something stupid.

Philip didn't care, he walked to the corridor outside the door, leaned on the railing and said to Grace, who was sitting in the living room on the first floor, in a daze: "Grace, give me that thing, and find someone to help me build another thing." ”

The "thing" in Philip's mouth refers to his own magical experimental equipment and materials, and as a woman who has been with Philip for a long time, Grace certainly knows what it is.

Seeing the Marquis looking at him suspiciously, Philip's expression was stiff and his face was dry, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all, Grace didn't know what Philip was going to do with the experimental equipment at this time.

"I had to find something to do. Philip smiled miserably: "If I don't find something to distract me, I'm afraid I'll really go crazy." (To be continued......)

PS: After this chapter (I mean the whole big chapter of "Salvation" and not chapter 126), Philip will face a very big turning point, career, personality, aiqing, in short, after this chapter, everything will be different for Philip, he will be more active in fighting for something, he will be more active in doing something, and the development of electric magic jishu may be accelerated because of his enthusiasm and initiative.
