Chapter 463: Ambush in the Town
Eric Town is not far from Solan Holy City, after setting off early in the morning, after a morning march, just after noon, just after noon, when it was just after noon, the Solan Cult investigation team led by Ella had already arrived at Eric Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Shuai Ke, who had already been informed, was waiting at the gate of the town early with a dozen Templar knights who did not have a rotating patrol mission today, and after seeing the team, Shuai Ke immediately drove his horse and his men over, and came to a place ten meters away from the leader Ella to dismount, and then respectfully led his men to give a knightly salute to Ella from a distance.
"The Captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Silver Legion, Shuaike, welcomes the arrival of Archbishop Ella. ”
In fact, although in terms of status, the archbishop and the squadron leader of a legion of the Knights Templar are indeed a lot worse, but considering the status of the Silver Legion as the core elite of the Knights Templar and the strength of Shuai Ke's own master-level peak, in fact, Shuai Ke will not say anything even if he is not so respectful. However, since the Curse of the Southwest Desert incident, when Ella finally led the Light Priests who had gathered at that time, they successfully healed most of the knights infected with the Demon Curse that Shuai Ke brought out of the ruins, and since then, Shuai Ke has treated the fourth archbishop with the most potential but strongest in the Divine Cult as his savior.
Ella smiled when she saw Shuaike. Ella also has a good impression of this strong knight who treats his subordinates like siblings and seems to be reckless but is actually quite rough and fine.
"Squadron Leader Shuaike, you've worked hard"
After briefly greeting his colleague Silver Squadron Leader No. 3 and the two Squadron Leaders of the Divine Grace Legion, as well as Raphael and other high-ranking saints, Shuai Ke rode his horse to Ella's side and led the team to continue towards Eric's town.
"Squadron Leader Shuaike, what's the situation in the town these days?"
Hearing Ella's question, Shuai Ke smiled wryly.
"Archbishop Ella, since we first came to Eric, things are going well here...... To be honest, if it weren't for the previous report and the cautious attitude of the townspeople, I am afraid that I would not have felt any different from other towns in other places when I stayed here. ”
"The demonic beasts tainted with demonic curses mentioned in the report haven't been seen these days?"
Ella frowned slightly, and Shuai Ke smiled wryly.
"Yes, we have scattered our men throughout the town, and we have also told the residents to pay attention to each other's safety and their own safety, and if they are in danger or see others in distress, they must seek help from nearby knights as soon as possible, but we have not received a single report of those monsters reappearing these days.
"We've also considered active searching, but the town is not big, and there are only a few possible locations that can perfectly hide such a conspicuous and violent monster, and after our investigation, there are no traces of anomalies in those places at all, but we haven't investigated the surrounding areas around the town, although the previous report mentioned that there have been many mutant monster attacks around the town, but we are really understaffed, and there is no way to conduct a thorough search of the area around the town, I'm sorry. ”
"No, you're doing a good job, Squadron Leader Shuaik," Ella shook her head, "According to what you explained, it's very likely that these mutant monsters and the people behind them will be hiding outside the forest, you must know that the previous investigation team was attacked in the wilderness after leaving the town, if you rashly send a small team outside the town when you are short of manpower, it is very likely that the other party will have a chance to cause casualties on our side." ”
"Thank you for the Archbishop's understanding, but we have not gained anything during this period of time except for some more ambiguous eyewitness information collected from the mouths of the residents, which is really a bit disqualified. ”
"No, at least you've managed to protect the residents from further harm, haven't you?"
Ella, who had already entered the town, looked at many residents on both sides of the town's roads, and smiled and saluted the team on this side, smiling and saying to the residents' arms.
"Yes," Shuai Ke said to the residents, smiling, "and that's our biggest takeaway these days." ”

"Xiaoxi, how's the situation?"
In an alley on the side of the town's largest main road, Ali Ali turned out of nowhere and crept to the dark-haired girl who was hiding behind a stacked wooden box at the entrance of the alley and secretly looked at the investigation team of the Solan Cult.
Hearing a familiar voice, Xingxi didn't turn his head, lowered his voice and spoke.
"As Uncle Vincent expected, a squadron wearing silver armor, and many knights wearing silver-gray armor, looking at the banner and equipment, it should belong to the Divine Charismatic Legion of the Templar Knights like the squadron we destroyed before, and in addition, in the middle of the team, there was a group of about forty or fifty people wearing spellcaster costumes, and the white-robed ones should be all saints, but some others wearing orange robes I am a little unsure, it is very likely that they will be magicians from the branch of Solan's flame faith. ”
"Huh, that group of gods of the Solan Sect is really cautious, and they actually sent such a large number of people out, I don't know what small country they are going to invade. ”
"Being wiped out a whole squadron near his lair, even if it's just a Divine Grace Legion with weak combat effectiveness, that's enough to be taken seriously," the end of the Solan Sect's team in front of him also left the line of sight, Xingxi turned his head and looked at Ali Ali, "It's just a visual inspection, except for the number of people, the rest is not very clear, is Uncle Vincent's side ready?"
Ali Ali grinned and gave a thumbs up to Xingxi.
"It was all ready this morning, and with Uncle Vincent's law of weakening weakening the presence of the boxes containing those monsters, no one would have noticed that there were so many boxes on the other side of the square overnight. ”
The Law of Weakening is Vincent's law ability, using this law Vincent can weaken almost any attribute of anything, but because the law of weakening itself can only reduce the opponent but cannot strengthen itself at all, and Vincent is a calculating school who advocates using his brain rather than using a knife, so Vincent uses this law more in places that can help his strategy and design.
For example, when he was in Lorris, he used the law of weakening to weaken the judgment and thinking ability of many officers and politicians under the Visenlit family, so that they did not hesitate to implement Vincent's identity as the confidant of the Visenlit family, and finally created the illusion of the rebellion of the Visenlit family at the elemental sacrifice;
Of course, this ambush is not the real highlight, according to Vincent's plan, this is just a test of the strength of the new Solan investigation team, plus giving them the illusion that "the demonic beasts in Eric's town are only about three to four orders of strength", and the real ambush is at midnight today, the main force of the ambush is the hundreds of demonized high-level demonic beasts from the Warcraft Forest with an average strength of about the fifth order that were just teleported to the town yesterday, as well as Silaire and Rogers, who also arrived in the town yesterday.
"Okay, let's go back, let's not go to the rest of the excitement, go back to the stronghold and wait for Uncle Vincent's information, and then fight for the night-"
Xingxi stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking, because she saw two children suddenly enter at the other end of the alley.
The two children are a boy and a girl, the older of the boys is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger girls seem to be less than ten years old. At this moment, the little girl was pulling the boy and rushing towards the entrance of the alley with small steps.
"Hurry up, brother, really, it's all your fault, otherwise we would be able to see the knights of the Solan God Cult here!"
The boy who was dragged forward by his sister looked a little impatient.
"You can still see it in the square in front later, isn't it, really, what's there to see, you run slower, be careful!"
As soon as the young man's voice fell, the little girl who passed by Xingxi's side fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the young man immediately panicked, rushed over at a speed several times faster than being caught and ran just now, and turned the little girl over and helped her up, and saw that the little girl didn't know which sharp stone on the ground on her leg had suddenly cut a big wound and was slowly oozing blood.
"Uh......h Wow - !!"
The little girl who fell in pain cried, and the young man picked up his sister with a distressed face, and then turned around without looking back and ran away in the direction where he came, and he didn't care what knights he went to the square to see, and he was anxious to take his sister home to find his parents to treat her wounds.
Watching the brother and sister disappear at the end of the alley, Ali Ali glanced at a transparent knife made of turquoise solidified space hidden by Xingxi on the other side of his body.
"Xiaoxi, you are so kind. ”
Xingxi withdrew the solidified space knife he had made with his own laws and spoke lightly.
"I just don't want to hurt kids who don't understand anything. ”
"But their parents are both Solan believers, and looking at the appearance of these two little ghosts, they are probably all Solan believers when they grow up. ”
Xingxi glanced at Ali Ali, who seemed to have just subconsciously said these words, and Ali Ali smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Hey, hey, so I'm being too cruel?"
"No, A-chan, you're right," Xingxi shook his head, hiding the confusion in his eyes, and walked towards the alley on the other end, which was their route back to the stronghold, "Anyway, even if they're okay during the day...... By the time it gets past midnight today, the town of Eric won't exist anymore. ”
Ali Ali looked at Xingxi who was walking in front, years of experience in getting along made her subconsciously think that Xingxi's mood didn't seem to be very good, the girl with glasses seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to understand something, and with a confused expression that was not the same as Xingxi, she followed the black-haired girl with a look of confusion that was not the same as Xingxi.
And just as the two of them walked out of the alley to a secluded path and walked not far away, from the town street behind them, suddenly bursts of screams and wails erupted.

"Don't panic, everybody! Array! Protect civilians!"
Ella didn't expect that these demonized demonic beasts, or the black hands behind these demonic beasts, would so blatantly challenge herself, the archbishop and law powerhouse of the Solan God Cult, so blatantly.
The troops had only entered the town for ten minutes, and before they even arrived at the pre-arranged residence of Shuai Ke in the town, their group encountered the mutant monsters that had not appeared in the past week, according to Shuai Ke.
After the initial surprise, Ella's heart immediately swelled up with a rare anger, not because of this provocation full of slaps in the face by the mastermind behind the scenes, but because she saw that the attacks of the crazy monsters that came out of nowhere were completely indiscriminate, and many civilians who spontaneously came to greet and watch their ranks were attacked defenselessly.
Ella is well aware of the strange nature of these demonized monsters that demonize and transmit infections by attacking and injuring them. Her warriors were prepared for this trait in battle, but seeing so many innocent civilians infected by that evil and filthy demonic aura made the righteous Archbishop of Light truly angry.
The holy light began to shine in Ella's hands, and then a white-gold light swept through the town like a tide, and everyone's bodies instantly began to glow white, and at the same time, those who were injured by the attack of the demonic beasts and did not die on the spot began to emit bursts of black smoke from the wounds that could not be seen before.
"Protect the civilians!
Ella's orders spread through the word of mouth of the mid-level commanders such as Shuai Ke around her, and the most elite Silver Legion immediately regained its composure and responded correctly according to the instructions after the initial chaos, which also made the knights of the Divine Grace Legion, as well as the saints and magicians who were not long in battle, also quickly find themselves.
The counterattack began, and the scene was quickly brought under control. The number of demonic beasts attacking the team is not large, and most of them only have the equivalent of the third or fourth order. Although their demonic infection trait makes them much more difficult to deal with than other monsters of the same level, their strength and numbers ultimately determine that they can't really cause any trouble for this team.
"Gather the wounded at once! The Saints squad immediately do as I explained to the demons...... The way the curse is dealt with, and the action must be fast!" (To be continued.) )
