Ukiyo-e Scroll Chapter 20 Civil War?
Davion and Priest were planning whether to strike first in order to contain the threat posed by the Necro Knight's charge. However, in the depths of the Lorba swamp, a sudden wave of magic was heard, and this fluctuation traced its source, and it could even be said that it had penetrated deep into the core of the swamp.
Before the four of them could react, the Necromantic Knight suddenly looked up in which direction, and then turned his horse's head and galloped over there, without even looking at Davion and the others.
The sudden turn of events was completely unexpected by the four of them, and Davion even subconsciously raised his shield to defend when he turned his horse's head.
"What's going on, what's going on?" asked Olofan aloud.
"I don't know, the fluctuations coming from the depths of the swamp are too strong. Maybe there's something there that appeals to him. Lina frowned and said, the mental attack just now made her brain feel a sharp pain now.
"Let's go, everything is ready, there is no need to risk any more, no matter how such a necromantic knight appeared, it is not an existence that we can deal with now. He didn't seem to be alone in the swamp, and I had a vague sense that there were many necromantic creatures like him nearby. The moment the Necromantic Knight appeared, Priest subconsciously probed the fluctuations of magical energy around him, and the situation that came back shocked his heart.
The Lorba swamp is becoming more and more incomprehensible, there have never been so many forces paying attention to this place at the same time, and the addition of this group of necromantic creatures has to make people suspect that there is a natural disaster to watch here. The Chaos Knight who had just appeared had already given them a surprise, and the skeleton horse under his crotch was not inferior to Davion's Teddy, and even far surpassed it in actual combat. Fortunately, the snake gall had been gathered, and the four of them hurriedly left the Lorba swamp overnight.
After receiving the reward, Priest specifically asked the person in charge how many people had come to hand over the task, but unfortunately the person in charge sent by Old John did not answer this question clearly, informing him that Priest could not tell him about other task recipients according to the regulations, but only roughly told them that there were not many people who came to exchange rewards.
After receiving this news, Priest's suspicions became even thicker, since it was not what they had imagined that they had poured into the Lorba Marsh because of Old John's wealth, then what was in the swamp was even more puzzling, and with their departure, this matter became a complete mystery in their hearts.
"And you've all the way here?" said Oraceia listened attentively, compared to her sisters Tricis and Gondor, who genuinely wanted to know what Davion had been through.
"Well, I met you guys after that. Davion said in a deep voice, and although his voice was calm, Olesia could hear something different from her usual emotions.
"You...... You okay. Olesia herself knew that after so long, it seemed pointless to ask herself, and even made her look a little silly, but for some reason, she asked anyway.
Davion glanced up at her, "It's okay, it's just some money dropped, what can happen." ”
"Mercenaries can't be trusted in the first place, so naturally they can't trust others at will, even if they are very close to them. Trixie said coldly as she stood aside.
"Sister!" Yet, Oraceia knew that her sister was probably referring to what had happened to them in the Elven Clan, but it was hard not to think about it.
Davion jerked his head up and glanced at Trixi, but Trixis didn't look at him at all, still focused on his own business, not caring what the group of them thought. Davian stared at it for a long time, and Olesia couldn't help but feel the urge to hold Davion, and her heart was worried. "Yes, I'm too confident. Davion lowered his head again and began to look at the fire in front of him.
In this way, the atmosphere returned to its previous state a little, and the three of Olofan looked at Davian like this, and naturally didn't want to take the initiative to talk. Olesia tried to speak, but she didn't dare to do anything because of her sister's majesty, her slender fingers flicking the bowstring back and forth, not knowing what she could do.
"You said that a lot of necromantic creatures entered the Lorba Swamp after that?" Gondor suddenly asked, who had been staying like a shadow, startling Lina who was sitting on the sidelines in a daze.
"That's true, what's the problem?" replied Priest very seriously, for he already had a lot of thoughts in his own mind, but none of them had sufficient and conclusive evidence.
"I've seen a lot of information about the movements of assassins and hunters during this time, and it shouldn't be their collective action. Gondor groaned, "It seems that the people of the natural disaster should have done it, and I don't know what is worthy of such attention in the Lorba swamp, and I actually dispatched that army." ”
"The army?" Davien and Lena caught the word at the same time.
Gondor looked at them calmly. "Of course, it's the Chaos Legion of the Chaos Knight Nesha, the most terrible of the Knights. ”
Davion and Priest looked a little disappreciative when they heard this, and when they heard about the glory of the elders of the previous generation, they already had a blind trust in their hearts about the position of the Knights. No matter how terrible the Chaos Legion of the Scourge, it is definitely not the opponent of the Silver Knights and the Dark Dragon Knights on the front.
"If you really don't think the Chaos Legion is anything remarkable, then why did one Chaos Knight suppress the four of you. Trixie coldly accentuated the remark, and Davion and Priest's performances were rather glaring in her eyes.
"You!" Davien was furious, and even Priest was a little difficult to accept Trixi's words, especially the insult to the knight's dignity made him feel angry in his chest.
"Aren't you, you claim to be the most orthodox and powerful knights, but who knows you, are you capable of being the protagonist on the battlefields of the Guards and the Scourge? Tracy looked directly at the four of them unceremoniously, showing no mercy, and her cold tone and cold face made people subconsciously believe her words and dare not question her majesty.
"Are you very strong? I didn't see you alone during the mission. Davian's face was a little gloomy, this was the first time Davian had such an expression since he came out, and it even made Olesia next to him feel a little strange and scared.
"But I'm at least self-aware. Trixie still didn't back down.
"Sister!" Olesia cried out in a panic as she jumped to her feet, waving her hands up and down as if she wanted to stop Davion, wanting to reach out but not daring to reach out. "Davian, my sister is like this, don't be angry, no, my sister is very radical and very good. "Turn your head. "Sister, why are you talking about this at this time, we. Olesia was a little incoherent, she didn't expect that just listening to Davion's story would turn out to be like this.
Lena frowned, and although she didn't see any movement, her fiery red hair was already beginning to show signs of flying. Gondor looked at the few people in front of him with interest, and it was rare that he didn't have the desire to make a move.
"Are you not convinced?" Trixie's indifferent tone stimulated Davian's already unsorted heart, and Davian looked back mercilessly, this time without caring about Olesia's face. And Olesia chuckled inwardly, always feeling suddenly nervous.
"In that case, let's try it. Trixie pulled her backhand with her bow and aimed an arrow at Davian, and Olesia's face turned pale, not expecting her sister to say that she would do it. Davion had already prepared, and at the same time as Trixie made a move, he had already bent down and rushed forward. However, as the leader of the elven clan, Trixi's arrow speed is not unfast, so it seems that Davian has to resist Trixi's arrow to have a chance to get close.
In a hurry, Olesia grabbed her longbow from her feet and met Davian, but fortunately, the atmosphere just now put her whole body in an extremely tense state, otherwise she really couldn't keep up with the speed of Davian and Trixi. Olesia let Davion's longsword pass through her longbow, then twisted it upwards in an attempt to lock Davion's hand.
To Trixi's surprise, Olethea had really locked up Davian, and the bowstring in her hand, which had been about to shoot the arrow, relaxed a little. According to common sense, even Oracea's hands may not be able to suppress the power of Davian's hand, but seeing Olesia rushing over like this, Davian didn't bear to shake Olesia away, which made Trixi's impression a lot better.
On the other side, Gondor just watched coldly from the sidelines, and his appearance of such a master made Lena quite unhappy, and with a frown, Lena waved her hand and set up a sea of fire between the two sides. Priest showed no signs of planning to make a move, but he still added the usual buffs such as Swiftness and Brute Force to everyone on his side.
Davion looked at the pleading eyes of Olesia who was close to him, and he couldn't use his strength anymore, so he sighed silently and put away his fighting spirit. Olesia also stood silently and stood aside, without speaking.
"In that case, it seems that the road after tomorrow will be separated. Although Davian had no desire to fight anymore, the resentment in his heart still did not disappear, and his tone was quite stiff.
Trixie nodded, pulling Oracea aside, Gondor still silently following the two.
Seeing Davian come back, the three of Priest didn't know what to say, the protagonist was not himself, and indeed only the person concerned knew the taste, so only Priest walked up and patted Davian on the shoulder. Lena only felt that what had happened these days was really a mess, first she managed to escape from the swamp whirlpool, and then she met these three people inexplicably, and then she fell into bitter battles and infighting, which really made her wonder if she was right to stay. Lena shook her head and shook her red hair, waved away the wall of fire, and turned to rest on her own.
Olofan shrugged and began to prepare his luggage.
The next day both sides were ready to leave, and this time only Priest stood up to speak, although he had not gone in his heart, but he was much more mature than Davian.
"In that case, we're heading southeast to Thunder Bluff. Priest only roughly told the other party about his goal, and did not tell the truth, Thunder Cliff is thousands of miles away from here, and no one can say what will happen in the middle.
Trixie nodded, didn't speak, just handed over a portion of the gold coin. Seeing this, Davian frowned, a little annoyed, but Lena somewhat understood Trixi's approach, after all, this time they owed a favor to their side, especially the dividends of the loot in the back Davian also took a step, with Trixi's temperament, he would definitely not take advantage of such a advantage. Before Davian didn't have any outrageous reaction, Lena pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to take it, Davi was entangled for a while, and then glanced at Olesia, although he really didn't want to accept the money, in his opinion, it was an extremely "shameless" thing, even like a glorious thing, but under the eyes of Lena and Olesia, Davian still accepted the money.
Instead, Gondor suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his left hand. "Thank you for this incident anyway, if there is a chance in the future, let's work together again. Gondor's actions immediately attracted everyone's attention, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, Trixi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Priest was a little surprised, as a teenager educated by the Silver Knights since childhood, Priest was reluctant to deal with such a person in his heart, but now in this situation, Priest also had to step forward and shake hands with Gondor.
"If there is a chance. ”
The two teams of adventurers, who were about to fight, were separated from each other in this way, but where Olesia and his party were going, Davian and the others did not ask, perhaps thinking that they would not meet again in the future.
As he was about to leave, Davian's voice suddenly sounded in Olesia's ears, and with Olesia's natural sensitivity to the wind element and the abilities of everyone present, no one could hear this.
"I don't know what's going on in your heart, but no matter what, keep going on, and I've found my sister. Sister She ...... It wasn't on purpose, I'm sorry, and we'll meet again if there's a chance, right?"
