Chapter 25: Exploration

The monster that the old woman had turned into was stabbed by the sword and let out a terrible scream, throwing off the fiery red figure, and she fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and Russell realized that this person was actually a cuckoo.

The old woman howled miserably, and puffs of purple smoke drifted away from its body, and after a moment of madness, its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, smashing up streaks of dust. At this moment, the monsters that were attacking the soldiers in the rear, after the old woman's death, seemed to lose control and fell to the ground, rolling with their heads covered, without their previous fierce appearance.

Bauer, who was not injured, took command and ordered the soldiers to come forward and assassinate the monsters one by one, and for safety, he also had the soldiers pour fire oil on the monsters' corpses and burn them to prevent them from coming back from the dead, leaving only the old woman's body.

Russell was dizzy from the bombing, his body was injured in many places, he was drowsy, but reason was reminding him that everyone still needed to command, and he couldn't rest now, Russell hurriedly called Ball and asked him to pick himself up.

When it was time to count the results of the battle, Russell looked sadly at the three people lying together, they were all shield soldiers standing in front of the old woman against the old woman, and their bodies were completely eroded by the poisonous fog and they lost their lives. Except for the archers in the ranks, almost everyone in the rest was wounded and demoralized.

It is worth rejoicing that Carter and Cuckoo both came to their senses, Cuckoo was only a little bruised, and Carter was unable to move his arm, but fortunately, the traces of purple mist erosion on his arm were gradually fading, and it seemed harmless.

Russell asked Bauer to call the crowd, and when the soldiers were gathered, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's battle is very fierce, we have lost three good brothers who can be relied on, it was my wrong decision to enter the village, which led to such consequences, I am sorry for you! If you want to go back, I will give you the money to go back, I should not take you into such a dangerous situation!"

Everyone talked about it, and not long after, a middle-aged soldier came out and said to Russell: "Lord Russell, we are all guards guarding the city on the city wall that day, to tell the truth, we followed you not only to make a fortune, but also to see your heroic posture, so that everyone decided to follow you, we have never seen these monsters in the village before, no one knows that such a thing will happen, without your command, why can't we survive." ”

"Yes, that's right. "How would we have survived without Lord Russell!" the soldiers expressed their opinions.

Russell couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes when he heard the heartfelt words of the soldiers, and he smiled and said: "Okay! Then let's ask the soldiers who can move to the old woman's house to find out what clues there are, and also find some trailers, many of our team members have injured their legs, and it is not easy to move!"

When the soldiers received the order, they dispersed. Russell sent Bauer, who wanted to be by his side, to guard the injured Carter. He sat on a large rock and touched his chin to recall the battle he had just had. Russell gradually noticed a lot of suspicions, the old woman looked a little strange before entering the village, what was she planning at that time? Is the smoke emitted by the old woman fighting magic? This is indeed quite similar to the magic in her memories in her previous life, but she has never heard of these extraordinary things in this life.

Russell turned his head to look at the cuckoo who was sitting and resting, she was holding her legs and seemed to be thinking about something. Russell thought back to Cuckoo's dagger, and although he almost fainted at that time, he still felt the soft light, and what was that sword? The secret of the Brotherhood may not be as shallow as he estimated.

Russell looked at the cuckoo and stopped, not knowing how to speak, after all, this may be the secret she wants to guard. Then. A soldier ran up to Russell with a book in his hand and said, "My lord, I found this strange book in the old witch's house. ”
