Chapter 22: Pathfinders

"Quick! Finish those two living dead and keep up, you don't have time to rub it off, you know?"

After successfully eliminating the third-level living dead who wanted to bite on his arm, the bearded mercenary named Tekan carefully covered the wound on the neck of the living dead with medicinal powder, and urged a few warriors behind him with a little impatience.

"What a cross, how great is it to kill a third-level living dead, we are fourth-level here. ”

When Tekan carefully used the medicinal powder to completely eliminate the bloody qi brought by the battle, the battle in the rear was also over, and the few soldiers besieging the two fourth-level living dead warriors also solved their goals, and snorted coldly in an unkind tone.

"Yes, I can't compare to you when I kill the third-level living dead, even if it takes so long to kill two fourth-level living dead, I was actually injured, and I was really able to bear it. ”

Those warriors were originally fighting steadily, but they were provoked by Tekan's words, and although they eliminated the living dead in advance in impatience, one of them was accidentally scratched by the living dead, although it was not serious, but it was indeed injured.

"I ......"

"Don't make a fuss, why don't you hurry up and cover up the bloody gas, do you want to attract the living dead of the brigade like just now?"

Just when the wounded warrior who was ridiculed by Tekan couldn't hold his face, and craned his neck to quarrel with Tekan, Minow, who had been discussing the route with the captain in front, suddenly appeared here, and a minor wound was slapped on the soldier's wound.

Hearing Mino's words, except for the warrior who was still being treated, everyone else hurriedly disposed of the bodies of the two living dead with laughter, and a dispute was nipped in the bud at once.

"Hey~ Thank you so much Brother Mino, but I don't need to treat this little injury, let's save the magic for a serious injury. ”

The holy light and the abyssal aura in the wound were so painful that the warrior grinned, but he did not show any dissatisfaction, but thanked Mino quite respectfully.

"No need, it's not a good way for this abyss aura to stay in the body, and a first-level divine skill can't consume anything, it will recover in a while, I really want me to save the power of the holy light, just pay attention not to get hurt again, we are seeking stability now, don't disrupt your steps because of Tekan's broken mouth." ”

"Yes, don't worry. ”

After receiving assurances from the warriors, Mino watched as Tekan had disposed of the corpse with medicinal powder, and then returned to the front of the group.

"Mino, you're back, what's going on in the future?" Seeing Mino return, a warrior with a weathered face stopped looking at himself and turned back to ask.

"Well, Captain Hunn, it's been taken care of, and all the corpse's wounds are covered with medicinal powder. ”

"It's good to cover it up, but you can't make a mistake. Upon hearing Mino's answer, the captain of the vanguard named Huon smiled happily and returned to his previous state of looking ahead.

The time to prepare for the battle flew by, and tonight was already the time to carry out the counterattack plan, as a member of the vanguard, Mino, along with more than thirty other warriors, returned to Sword Furnace Town again after nearly ten days.

Because the main purpose was to open roads and clear the miscellaneous soldiers, the Minos were not as swift as the vanguard on the battlefield, but more like the slow and cautious of the scouts.

In each alleyway, all the living dead on the street and in the adjacent houses must be cleared of the dead, until it is confirmed that there are no hidden living dead, and then move on to the next alley.

This kind of work is undoubtedly complicated and hard, especially for the pioneers who are extremely nervous in their hearts, this slow marching plan makes them have an indescribable sense of tension and depression.

And this feeling of oppression finally reached its peak when a group of living dead people launched a surprise attack on the team because of the attraction of bloody qi.

Even if they didn't scream and flee because of their years of mercenary career, the impatience in their hearts couldn't be suppressed, like if it wasn't for Mino's suppression of the field just now, Tekan and those warriors probably wouldn't mind using the battle to vent their depression.

So Hunn, as the captain, is also very concerned about this, even if he knows that it is a waste to cover up the breath with that precious medicinal powder on every living dead, he forces everyone to do so.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the previous situation.

This sensitive and nervous vanguard could not afford another surprise attack like that.

And the living dead are not easy to get along with, the strength of these creatures strengthened by the power of the devil should not be underestimated, if it weren't for the fact that everyone who can join the vanguard is the lowest level of elite warriors, even if there is no attrition, I am afraid that there will be no way to cover up the traces of action like this.

Under the internal and external troubles, Hune also felt a huge pressure, if it weren't for Mino's timely use of his bravery and identity as a healer to suppress the field, as a deputy to help him take care of those corners, he may have made a mistake in his busy life.

But even so, Hunn's pressure didn't lessen much.

There is no other reason, the enemy is getting stronger and stronger.

As Mino's continued advance and depth, the density and strength of the enemy became higher and higher, and it was already becoming more and more difficult to cover the movement.

And the evil consequence of this is that even if the vanguard did not take the initiative to clear it, there were many living dead who were attracted by the sound of battle.

So much so that in order not to let the evil consequences expand, the pioneers had to exchange their injuries for their lives, and forcibly speed up to destroy their enemies.

So as the vanguard deepened, the intensity of the battle continued to escalate, not to mention that it was unscathed as at the beginning, and even minor injuries were a rare result.

When the goal of this trip: the lord's mansion where Memphis is located, many people even fought until they were seriously injured and died, and they barely managed to kill the enemy who was one or even two levels higher than them.

If it weren't for the treatment of Mino, which could be treated in time, the vanguard would probably have fought until the entire army was wiped out before they reached the lord's mansion, where they could still lose less than six people like now, maintaining a combat effectiveness of nearly eighty percent.

This shows the brilliance of Cotema's efforts to bring Mino into the vanguard.

As Mino's sword fell, the last living dead who stood in front of the vanguard was also killed, and the Lord's Mansion, which was thought to be out of reach, finally appeared in front of the vanguard.
