Chapter 56: The Return of the Seven Dead Apostles

Our group hurried through the checkpoint and set off for a search on the outskirts of the capital, Basta. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The person we want to guard won't have an accident, otherwise why hasn't it been here for so long?

The outskirts of Basta and the desert opposite the checkpoint are two worlds, with not only land, but also sparse vegetation, and the further you go, the more trees there are, and gradually the roads are lined with trees and streams, and the branches and foliage of the trees are dense and flourishing, a scene of life, in stark contrast to the desolation of the province of Pazm.

We rode the dragon bird for more than 20 minutes, and we could already see the roofs of some high-rise buildings in Bastani from a distance, but we still didn't find any trace of them.

"Let's turn around and go back, Captain, and search the woods on both sides of the road. Alan suggested to me.

"Maybe they're just sleeping too late and delaying the trip?" said Emma seemed to think I was making a bit of a fuss.

"No, I trust Chris's instincts, maybe something is wrong with them?" said Anne, looking at me, to Emma.

"Stop, stop talking, there's a situation!" At this point, Link seemed to have noticed something, raised his hand to signal us, and then grabbed the reins of the dragon bird to stop it.

Link jumped off the dragon bird, walked to the side of the road, pointed to the ground and said to us, "Look!" and the others and I went up to observe, only to see that there were many chaotic wheel prints and horseshoe prints on the ground on the side of the road, and many small trees were broken and fell to the ground along the way.

These signs seem to indicate that a group of people rushed into the woods in a panic, and they certainly did not want to go in and enjoy the flowers. We took a closer look at the surrounding pavement and found some tiny traces of blood left on the pavement. There must have been some kind of fighting, someone had fled in a car, someone had hastily cleared the battlefield, but it still hadn't covered up all traces and was spotted by the observant Link.

"Let's go check in the woods, beware of an ambush inside!" I whispered to the group, and then they cautiously followed the wheel prints.

After walking for a few minutes, we found more than 10 large ice blocks standing on the ground, each ice block was frozen with a heavily armed warrior, they should all be dead, their bodies were covered with scars, some were missing an arm, some were missing a leg, and some were even in a different place, but this ice coffin kept a whole body in it. Most of these people's armor and weapons were shattered or broken, and they seemed to have been hit by a rather strong impact, and it is very likely that they were the guards of the people we were going to protect, and they died too miserably!

"It seems that we have met an old friend in the City of the Dead, these corpses must have been cleaned up by that sissy, right?" Emma said teasingly, because she is still so calm now, do you think she has the strength to fight them? But she is right, these ice coffins should have been made by the "Water Shadow Mirror" Kaxiu, and most of these tragically dead guards may have been killed by the "Fire Shura" Saoga, he is still so savage and rude!

"There's a good chance it's going to be a tough battle, so be careful!" I whispered a reminder as we drew our weapons and continued to move forward cautiously. Gradually, we heard the sound of battle, coming from our right front, and we followed the sound to rush over, and through the gap in the woods, we finally saw some people fighting.

It was a clearing in the middle of the woods, and the ground was covered with green grass, and several corpses were scattered on it, some of them were heavily armed warriors, dressed like the people seen in the ice coffin before, and some were maids in white aprons, all stained with blood and breathless. There were the wreckage of several carriages on the grass, broken wood chips scattered everywhere, and the corpses of several horses fell on the grass, and the rest of the horses must have fled in all directions, right? In the middle of the grass there were two magic cars overturned, which looked quite luxurious, but now the doors were dented, and the glass on the cars was all shattered, so it became a pile of scrap metal. Next to the magic car stood a little girl in gorgeous costumes, not very old, estimated to be about the same as Alan, blonde hair, very cute-looking, at this time holding a teddy bear in both hands leaning against the wreckage of the magic car trembling, from time to time let out frightened screams, it seems that she was frightened by this bloody scene. There was still the only remaining guard standing next to her, he looked not young, his hair and beard were gray, and the armor he was wearing and the long sword he held in his hand were much better than the other dead guards, he should not be an ordinary guard, but a master like the chief of the guard, right? Of course, it is estimated that there are two brushes that can support the person who is still alive, but he has been besieged by three enemies for a long time, and now he is out of breath. Sweating profusely, it is estimated that his physical strength is almost unable to support him, and the opponents besieging him are, of course, the "Water Shadow Mirror" Cassiu, the "Fire Shura" Saoga and the "Wind Shooter" Tina in the "Seven Dead Apostles", who surrounded the two poor people in three different directions, looking like they were winning.

I noticed that the "Witch of the Sky" Erin doesn't seem to be here, so that's fine, otherwise our odds of victory will be even lower without Jack's help, but she is the one who can break up the powerful slash of the S-class warrior Jack with one blow!

At this moment, the sissy Cassiu spoke: "Mr. Harvey, although you used to be a very famous bounty hunter "Lone Wolf Harvey", after all, you are old, and now you are besieged by the three of us, it is quite good to be able to hold out for so long. But looking at your appearance, I guess I can't hold on for long, right? Let's give up resistance and let us take this little girl, I will let you die without pain and sleep forever in the ice coffin. ”

The old man named Harvey gasped and said, "Whew, whew... If I'm ten years younger, I'll be able to beat off you guys, whoa, whoa... I promised Mistress Dakkon that I would protect Miss Alice, whew, whew... Even if I die, I want you to accompany me, and I must not let you hurt a single hair of the young lady!"

"What a stubborn old man!" said Tina, impatiently.

"Haha, I'm not done yet, you're pretty good, hold on a little longer, old man!"

"How's that, do you have the confidence to repel them?" I asked, turning to the group in a whisper.

"I'm fine, leave Kasiu to me!" Neil seemed confident.

"I'm going to make it clear to Tina too, so let me fight her!" Link said to me, looking at Tina.

"Then leave Saoga to me, he will pay for Bard's affairs!As for Annie, Emma, and Alan, you brought these two civilians to safety while we led them away, they are likely to be the ones we want to protect and not let them be attacked again, especially the little girl, you know?" I said to Anne, and all three of them nodded.

"Rain Arrow!" As soon as I finished speaking, the battle on the other side of the grass began again, Cassius shot countless rain arrows, they were like sharp arrows towards Harvey, the little girl named Alice screamed in fright again, crouched down and hid behind the wreckage of the magic car, the rain arrows shot into the shell of the magic car, and there were countless "crackling" sounds, Alice was fine, but the shell of the car made of iron sheet was beaten into a sieve, convex and concave, completely lost the shape of the car, and completely turned into a pile of scrap metal.

As for Harvey, who didn't have the magic car as a shield, he swung his long sword at great speed, scattering all the rain arrows that flew in. With this kind of action at this age, it can be seen that his skills are indeed very good.

At this time, Tina shot an arrow from Harvey's side, Harvey reacted quickly, and moved his position sideways while blocking Kassiu's rain arrow, narrowly dodging it, but Tina's reaction was faster, and the speed was like the wind, and as soon as Harvey stood firm, the next sharp arrow shot again from Tina's longbow.

This time, Harvey didn't dodge so fast, and seeing that he couldn't dodge, he had to raise his sword and break the arrow. At the same time, Saoga rushed up, and Harvey, who had no physical strength and was passive everywhere, was cut back again and again by Saoga with an axe, completely at a disadvantage, and he couldn't support it anymore!

"Do what I said, get on!" I said to the group.

"Wind Spear!"

"Stone Block!"

"Rock Splitter, Flame!"

I, Neil, and Link each rushed towards their target...
