Chapter 15: Bleak
O'Neill pounced directly, and Renard instantly added a water shield, a true word shield, and death armor to himself, and squatted down with his head in his hands, but he didn't suffer any damage, because the downed O'Neill happened to be lying next to him, and since he was also the target that O'Neill wanted to protect, the Holy Shield Technique, which only shrouded a small area around O'Neill, also shrouded him.

With the protection of the Holy Shield Technique, Renard was temporarily relieved, and he asked in his heart, "Do you need to send it away?" The Book of Death replied: "No, this is the self-explosion of the treasure soldier, which is equivalent to the level of the exterior scene, and the nearby space is distorted, and it will take a long time to figure out the law of distortion." The self-detonation won't end so soon, be careful!"
After hearing this, Renard did not hesitate to add a mantra shield to his only target that could be seen in the blue light, O'Neillus, and soon six seconds of the holy shield technique passed, and the blue light had not yet dispersed, and Renard felt that his triple shield was broken within a second, but fortunately he fell to the ground in advance, but his back was injured. Renard felt as if his back had been pressed against a furnace where the insulation had failedβbut the blue light had dissipated before he could take it anymore.
Renard grinned on his stomach, and he felt like his whole back was roasted. He first threw himself a few Holy Light Techniques to heal his injuries, and then took out a spare piece of clothing from the spatial ring and draped it over his body, the back part of the previous clothes had been completely burned. Then he looked around, and whether it was Li Qing's corpse nearby, or the earth mages and illusion mages who were alive before, or those soldiers who were officially knight-level, they all turned into clumps of ashes, and there were no bones left. The only living person around him was O'Neill who was also roasted and lay motionless. In the distance, there were only two soldiers who were far away and had not been affected by the self-explosion of the treasure soldiers, and they looked at this place in a daze.
Renard was a little glad that he didn't wear the robe when he was ambushed, otherwise this valuable thermostatic robe would have been finished. His back had barely healed just now, but now it was burning again, after all, the Holy Light Technique could not remove the heat, so Renard decided to just endure it and wait for the heat to dissipate before treating it together. Before Renard took out cold water from the space ring and poured it on himself, he suddenly saw that O'Neills' back injury was just as bad, so he first threw a few holy light spells at O'Neill to stabilize the injury, and then directly took out a reserved bottle of ice water and poured it directly on his back, combined with the current heavy rain, the situation was finally much better.
O'Neill seemed to wake up in only a few seconds, he struggled to get up, looked around, the smile on his face could no longer be seen, it became a hideous expression that combined pain and sadness, but he didn't say anything, just tried to say two words: "Go, quick!"
Then he struggled to run forward, but only took two steps before he collapsed in pain again, Renard hurriedly threw a few holy light spells to help O'Neill re-stabilize his injuries, and then took out a cloak from his spatial ring and draped it on O'Neill, and then Renard beckoned to the two ordinary soldiers who were a little stunned and unharmed: "Carry the captain on your back, hurry up!"
Two soldiers were ordered, one soldier carrying O'Neill on his back, and the other soldier re-burrowed into the forest with Renard and hurriedly evacuated. Renard was in charge of clearing the way, and another soldier was in charge of cleaning up the traces.

Renard and the others hadn't gone far before a crow zombie who had been left in the woods by Renard saw a team of cultivators rushing here. Faced with the devastation of the battle, they immediately called their commander. After countless people came, in the end, a strong man in a green robe carefully investigated here for a while, and came to the conclusion: Li Qing didn't know why he had a conflict with others here, but all traces were erased by the self-detonating treasure soldiers and could not be explored. As for what to do after that, you still need to discuss with others. Then the location powerhouse sent a team of soldiers to block the scene, and hurried back to the camp.
Not long after, the zombie crow left behind by Renard disintegrated on its own due to the exhaustion of mana, Renard breathed a sigh of relief, and O'Neill also used several days to fully recover under the treatment that Renard deliberately retained, plus his own best healing and the paladin's strong self-healing ability.
Due to the large number of people, several people also deliberately accelerated the march, and this time the time to return to the place where the carriage was located was a full day less than before. Not counting Renard, who can go home and sleep every day, the others don't seem to be much tired, or some kind of emotion covers this exhaustion.
In the carriage, O'Neill did not say a word. A soldier couldn't help but speak: "Captain, do you want to go back and call some more brothers, kill that spy, and avenge the dead brothers?"
O'Neill shook his head: "Let's not say that we can't know the identity of the spy at all, and even if we do, we don't blame him for this." What treasure soldiers you have, and what the characteristics of the treasure soldiers are, are all secret things among cultivators. Renard answered beside him: "This kind of treasure soldier is probably not so easy to get among cultivators." β
O'Neill nodded, "Yes." Renard continued, "Well, the one who has this kind of treasure must be the son of a large family, right?" said O'Neils. β
Renard looked up and looked at O'Neill with a blank face, "Then you know what I'm going to say, Captain?"
O'Neill didn't speak, and several of the soldiers looked at O'Neill with burning eyes. O'Neill was silent for a few seconds, then looked up and said, "It's normal for you to have this thought. However, you must understand that the Sharp Knife Force was originally designed to carry out these most dangerous missions. β
O'Neill looked at the three people one by one, and he smiled bitterly: "You will be assigned to this unit, you must have offended someone, right?"
The three nodded. O'Neill continued: "Do you think that your affairs are so easily settled in the general state of the Empire?"
Renard didn't speak, he looked up at the roof of the carriage, and he began to seriously consider killing the whole family of Viscount Gazrex, if he had to carry out such a mission, it seemed that the current situation was not much better than being hunted down. The other two hung their heads.
O'Neill said lightly: "If you survive for a year, and the empire is willing to pay such a big price for you to appease the anger of those people, it will naturally require you to pay something more in this year." The Empire is not a charity, you see. β
O'Neill's next sentence was inaudible: "And, we all have nowhere else to go but here." β
