Since the last time they clashed with Gurney King Kong because of the girl named "Cheruth", considering the need to avoid infighting in order for the next plan to go smoothly, Green and Ryan took the initiative to lead the low-level monster group to patrol the outer forest and spent a few peaceful days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And in the past few days, under Green's intentional or unintentional admonition, Ryan finally calmed down, and slowly figured out that the wolf girl called "Cheruth" did not match the characteristics of the Nolan clan in many places, although he was still a little unwilling in his heart and had some nostalgia for Gurney and King Kong's attitude at that time, but Ryan still agreed to Green, and no longer continued to have a cold war with Gurney and King Kong because of the unhappiness of the last time.

However, early in the morning, the two of them on the outskirts of the forest clearly felt the abnormal behavior of the demonic beasts under their hands.

The high-level demonic beasts with a little strength seemed to sense something, and from time to time they would look at the depths of the forest with a frightened face, but those low-level demonic beasts were just the opposite, completely deprived of the previous discipline of rigorous patrolling under the command of high-level demonic beasts, and became undisciplined, and returned to the original chaotic state of being completely intelligent and acting on instinct.

Ryan and Green couldn't figure out what was going on with the changes in the high-level monsters, but the "degenerate" behavior of the low-level monsters alerted the two. They knew that this was what a low-level Warcraft should look like, and the original state of a junior army that seemed to have some kind of rough organizational structure was actually caused by Ryan's wife Tias covering the Will in the forest with some influence on the will of the low-level Warcraft.

Now this effect is gone, which means that Tias has withdrawn the will of the Inca law that covers the entire forest in all directions...... Is something going on inside the forest?

Since the decoy operation planned by Gurney and Leyson was mainly a battle at the upper level of combat power, and there was no need for the peripheral monsters to participate, and Gurney selfishly wanted to kill Cheruth in the battle and prevent her from meeting with Ryan and Tias again, so Gurney did not inform Ryan and Green about this time to prevent them from getting involved, and then it might cause an unpredictable situation.

Therefore, Ryan and Green, who were completely unaware of the plan to lure the enemy, had no clue at all in the face of the changes in front of them. Their attempts to contact Tias in Daisis' Lodge through the Magic Communication Stone were unresponsive, and subsequent attempts to get in touch with Gurney and King Kong failed, and even the two Explorers' mysterious masters, Mr. Leyson, who set up the altar to guard the altar, and the Hand of Death, who monitored the Valley of the Dragon Turtle, did not respond to their request for contact.

Ryan and Green were a little panicked at this time, they didn't know what was going on, what happened to Tias now? Is their plan still going smoothly? What happened to both the altar and the Dragon Turtle Valley? With such doubts, Ryan and Green decisively handed over the patrol command of the periphery to a demonic beast under Dai Qisi, who was in charge of the periphery work with them, and they themselves took a few high-level demonic beasts with good strength and immediately set off to return to the interior of the forest.

And just as they reached the junction between the middle and outer parts of the forest, a completely unexpected scene appeared before their eyes.

"Green, what do you think?"

Looking at the corpses of the living dead lying on the ground with no signs of a living person other than a faint breath, Ryan frowned and asked Green, who was standing aside.

"Judging from the costumes, there are two groups of people, one group should be mercenaries from the adventurer town outside, and the other group seems to be the guard of a certain nobleman, and it doesn't seem to be the kind of honor guard that puts on a stand but a real elite guard, as for the cause of death......"

Green looked at a long-armed monkey beside him with three eyes but two closed eyes that were open only on the extra one on his forehead, and the monkey immediately spoke.

"Oh yes Lord Green, as you suspected, these humans are dead, of course they are still 'alive' physiologically, but their spiritual consciousness is ...... Or that the souls have been completely destroyed and vanished, and they should have died from some extremely powerful illusion. ”

"Illusion," Green snapped his fingers, "and that does explain their current appearance as the living dead. ”

"It's nice to know the cause of death, but Green, although it is not very respectful to say this, but I think since they are dead, then how they die is not so important, is it?"

Ryan said, narrowing his eyes at the men on the ground.

"I'm actually more curious about how they ended up here, considering that we haven't received any reports of human squads breaking through into the forest these days. ”

Green shrugged, apparently at no clue, but the three-eyed gibbon beside him spoke again.

"Oh, oh, two adults, I have made some important discoveries, I have tried to decipher the spiritual realm that has been destroyed in the minds of these humans, and I find the way in which these human spirits have been destroyed is familiar, and if I am not mistaken, oh, this seems to be the handiwork of a guy I know. ”

"Do you know who killed these people?"

"Oh yes, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the handiwork of that guy from the fog beast, oh my lord, you know, although my illusion strength can't match it, but I can be considered to have fought with that guy a few times and survived, and I know a lot about that damn guy's habit of using illusions to attack other people's mental realms......

"Okay, okay, I know you're good, but what I want to know is, do you know where that guy called the Mist Beast is?"

was glared at by Green, and the three-eyed gibbon didn't dare to continue to ramble, and obediently spoke.

"Oh, oh yes my lord, you know, the fog beast and I have already taken refuge in Lord Daisy during this time, and I have heard from the other guys before that the fog beast seems to have been taken away by the lord named Leyson and several other powerful high-level monsters, as if they were responsible for the safety of the altar that was built in the first place. ”

In other words, there is a good chance that something happened to the altar that was built in the first place?

Green and Ryan glanced at each other, although the cause and effect are still completely unclear, but since these humans were killed by the demonic beast that was supposed to be stationed at that altar, it means that they are very likely to have been near that altar, and even did something to be directly chased here after being discovered by that fog beast...... In any case, it looks like they should go there and check it out.

-----

Green and Ryan didn't know that if they had arrived ten minutes or so earlier, they might not have to go to the altar to find out what was going on. Of course, the trio of Sekaria, Nanoha, and Syna didn't know that it was they who left ten minutes early to escape from an encounter with little chance of victory.

After killing the Mist Beast, Sylna, who split up with the Celus, finally joined up with Sekaria and Nanoha.

Sekaria and Shirna really didn't feel good about the death of the royal guards, including Caesar, and the high-level mercenaries who had spent a lot of money and favors from the major mercenary groups.

The former is the loss of their valuable elite combat power in the Loris Kingdom, while the latter is likely to cause a kind of mercenary group, including the Silver Wing Mercenary Group, to have a huge dissatisfaction with the Loris Kingdom and even directly become hostile, in any case, their losses in this operation can be said to be quite large, if the Herlan side loses the battle in the end, I am afraid that both the Lorris Kingdom and the major mercenary groups in the adventurer town will lose their money.

However, both Sekaria and Sylna are well aware that these things are certainly a headache, but if they have to leave the Warcraft Forest safely, they must first leave the Warcraft Forest safely, and this is the most troublesome problem for them right now.

Although Nanoha's biological magic guide circuit caused the fog beast to suffer a big loss, and even absorbed a lot of mana supplies from the fog beast for a long time, this actually didn't have much to do with Nanoha's own will. Nanoha, who is not a real magician, is so weak that although she has not been attacked by the fog beast's real illusion, due to the impact of being trapped in the illusion of the fog beast for a long time, she is still in a rather confused state until the illusion is lifted, and there is no way to recover her normal combat power for the time being.

And Shirna, although she still retains the ability to kill the mist beast that absorbed most of the mana from Nanoha's biological magic channel, due to the frostbite she suffered in the previous battle with the frost hippo, the female knight's strength in frontal combat has also been greatly reduced.

The only one of the three who retains a relatively complete combat power is Sekaria, but obviously with this state, the three of them don't want to break through the outer Warcraft army safely, and the illusion scrolls are all on Caesar's body, and after the fog beast killed Caesar in the previous battle, he easily destroyed all the illusion scrolls made by humans that it didn't look down on, so they had no chance of tricks.

As a result, Sylna finally had to tell Sekaria about Cillus's suggestion, and the blue-haired princess immediately decided that the three of them would immediately go to the Dragon Turtle Valley to avoid the disaster under the leadership of the two small animals brought by Sylna.

However, just a short time after they walked out, suddenly the two small animals leading the group in front of them stopped, and then turned around and ran out in one direction.

Sylna, who was following behind Nanoha on her back, and Sekaria, who was trying to speed up her pace, were a little dumbfounded.

“...... Sheena, they're ......."

The female knight frowned, although she didn't trust these small animals who couldn't communicate directly with her at first, but seeing that the place did get along with Cheruth very well, and she was also very humane when she showed them the way at the beginning, so Sylna had already let go of her worries, but unexpectedly, these two little things suddenly had a problem.

"Your Highness Princess, I don't know what's going on. ”

Sekaria thought for a moment.

"Let's keep up. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess!" Sylna hurriedly stopped Sekaria and said, "No, it's too dangerous, they are obviously different from the way they acted just now, maybe there is something wrong with this!"

"But we don't have any other choice, right?" Sekaria looked at Sylna, "This is the Monster Forest, if we get lost here, that's the most dangerous situation, these two little ones are our only guides, we don't have a choice...... And Sheena, since you said that these two little ones were given to you by Cheruth to show us the way, then I don't think they will be against us, I believe Cheruth. ”

Sylna opened her mouth to say something, but she had to admit that Sekaria was right, and they really had no better choice than to follow.

After holding back her doubts about how much Her Royal Highness trusted the wolf girl named Cheruth so much, Sylna nodded.

"Okay, I see, Your Highness Princess. ”

Saying this, the two of them began to run together with the two small animals that suddenly changed direction, not always in one direction like just now, this time the two small animals ran and stopped, as if they were chasing something, constantly changing directions.

Just as Sylna was becoming more and more worried about where the two little animals were going to take them, suddenly the two little ones finally stopped, and then the little gray squirrel man stood up and raised his head and squeaked at the tree overhead.

Then, after a rustle in the canopy overhead, a small brown fur ball fell from the sky.

After seeing that it was a small squirrel with a big fluffy tail, Sekaria hurriedly stopped Sylna, who had already drawn her sword and was about to cut it down, she vaguely remembered that when Cheruth told her about her childhood adventures in the forest, she had mentioned that she had a good friend of a little squirrel.

The little squirrel Xiaofei landed safely, raised his head and just wanted to say hello to the two friends who didn't know why they appeared here, but he saw Sekaria and Hilna standing behind, and couldn't help but scream.

"Wow...... Who are you?"

Sekaria looked at the wary look on the face of Xiaofei's chubby little squirrel, and she was amused, but she still showed a kind smile.

"Hello, Mr. Squirrel, my name is Sekaria, and I am a friend of Cerus, and this is Sylna, my companion...... Oh, by the way, we're the reinforcements that Chelus brought in from outside to help Lady Herlan today. ”

"Ah, you're a friend of Cheruth, where's Cheruth, where is she?"

After hearing Sekaria's words, Xiao Fei's expression immediately became anxious, although he did not approach Sekaria out of the last trace of vigilance, but the two small animals in front of Sekaria and the two had already reassured Xiao Fei a lot.

"We're separated from Cheruth," Sekaria said, glancing at Shirna, "but I think Cheruth must be on the altar right now, with Lady Herlan and them, right?"

"It's bad, it's bad, it's bad!" Xiao Fei heard Sekaria's words as if he was about to jump up, "No, I can't delay here any longer, you are going to the Dragon Turtle Valley, right? ”

Seeing the little squirrel so anxious, Sekaria's face changed, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition that Cheruth would encounter danger.

"Excuse me, what's wrong?"

"Oh, no, it's a big deal!" Xiao Fei looked worried, "That guy called the Hand of Death, he just destroyed the barrier of Uncle Dragon Tortoise, and now he is probably about to return to the altar, Uncle Dragon Turtle said that person is very dangerous, let me go and inform Cheruth and Lord Herlan as soon as possible that they should leave quickly!"
