33. The veteran's entrustment
As soon as Ash saw that the situation was out of his control, he immediately slipped away.
People are formed armies, and what to fight is not to mow the grass.
After leaving the battle area, the veteran will continue to stand still, and the venerable knight who has been summoned by him will begin to wander aimlessly again.
Ash observed, although there were many enemies, but these rotten knights had no autonomous consciousness and only acted subconsciously, which gave Ash an opportunity to take advantage of.
Now there are two ways, one is to fight quickly and not give the veteran a chance to summon the army. The other is to slowly figure it out, first solve all the rotten knights one by one, and then go to fight the veteran.
To be on the safe side, Ash still chooses the second option.
Pulling out his crossbow, Ash first lured a rotten knight over.
The Rotten Knight is tall, and his attacks are naturally wide open, and he is much more fierce than the heavily armored knights of Stonewell City.
However, today's ashes are no longer what they used to be. Single-handedly take on the Rod Knight, and you don't even need to use magic and faith.
With only a shield and a long sword, in three or five rounds, the slash can be completed.
However, the rotten knight holding the meniscus scythe is a little difficult to handle, and in the face of this long-handled weapon, he can't roll, he can only resist hard.
Moreover, these Rotten Knights will also release an aura skill, like a disc throwing knife, and the attack route is also elusive.
Therefore, at this time, you can only attack and greet from a distance.
Fortunately, the other Rotten Knights were not sane, as long as they did not stand in the way of his patrol and made a big noise, they were indifferent.
And just like that, it took an afternoon for Ash to clean up all the Rotten Knights, leaving only the lone veteran.
Strike while the iron is hot, and the ashes are ready to get the golden needle in their hands today. So the attack on the veteran was launched, and at the beginning of the period, it was still the same as last time, and the veteran practiced and ate deflated. When he took up the banner and summoned his men, no one responded.
I saw that the veteran kept waving the military flag, and the lonely figure was very desolate.
Ash understands that most of these Valkyrie soldiers have been corrupted, and giving relief is the best choice.
Looking at the veteran who was still waving the military flag, Ash raised his right hand high, and the shining thunder light gathered in his hand. When the ashes slammed down, a golden lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck the veteran's body.
It seems that at this moment, the veteran has a trace of soberness.
He handed the banner to Ash, hoping that Ash would return it to Valkyrie, and then ran out of breath.
However, before the veteran died, he didn't say where the Valkyrie was, looking at the military flag in his hand, it seemed to be another big pit.
Ash first put away the military flag, then searched, and sure enough, he found a golden needle, but it had been broken into two sections.
Judging from the fracture, it was not caused by this battle, but should have been broken by the Valkyrie Malenia when she first released the Crimson Corruption.
I don't know if this broken golden needle still works. Ash carefully placed it in his backpack and returned, ready to be shown by Gwee.
It seems that the battle in the depths of the Ionian swamp has also reached here, and by the time the ashes came to this ruined church, it was already late at night, and Millicent did not rest, but stood here and watched. When I saw the figure of Ash, I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ash carried Millicent into the church, then carefully pulled out the broken gold needle and placed it in front of Gwee.
Gwee's eyes lit up when he saw the golden needle, and he said that he had mastered the method of repairing the golden needle, and let the ashes go to rest first.
After a hard day's fighting, the ashes were also extremely tired, and after a hasty two-bite meal, he fell asleep in the corner of the wall.
By the time Ash woke up again, it was noon the next day, and he lifted the clothes he was covering and found Millicent looking at him with high spirits.
It turned out that Gwee had repaired the golden needle early in the morning and sealed it in Millicent's body, and now Millicent would not be bothered by scarlet corruption at all.
After bowing to Ash and thanking him, Millicent tells Gervais that she feels the call of her bloodline and wants to go on a journey that will help her reclaim her identity.
Gwee didn't dissuade him, but let Millicent leave with peace of mind.
As Millicent was packing up, Gwyn grabbed the ashes, saying she had something to tell.
It turns out that Millicent seems to be related to the Valkyrie, and this time Millicent's journey, Gwee hopes that Ash can be guarded, and after the matter is completed, he will be grateful.
Ash thought about it, anyway, he had to return the military flag to the Valkyrie, it was better to follow Millicent all the way, with the guidance of the bloodline, maybe he could get clues.
However, Ash also kept an eye on it, this guy Gwee, there are too many inconsistencies, and it seems that he has other purposes. was able to follow Millicent all the way, and if something happened, he could save Millicent.
By the time Millicent had packed up her things, Ash told her about her preparations. It can be seen from Millicent's eyes that she is still very happy to walk with Ash.
In this way, the two said goodbye to Gwee, and Ash first teleported to the round table gathering point with Millicent, introduced what had happened recently, and let the fire girl and others get to know Millicent.
When Ash went to the Academy of Magic to pick up Melina, he was furious by Roger's inexplicable eyes, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Since it is a journey, then there will be battles, and Millicent is a strong girl, and although she has lost an arm, she still insists on practicing martial arts. It just so happened that with the Kalia Sword, Roger's bayonet was left idle, and it was just right to give it to Millicent.
As for the matter of the dead, put it aside for now, there is no clue, everything is empty talk.
According to Millicent's bloodline, the first stop is the Golden Tree Hill. This place of ash used to be, through the secret passages of the Academy of Magic, and then through the volcano.
There is no need for such a hassle now, because there is a blessing point right there, and it can be teleported directly.
Just as Ash was carrying Millicent and Melina to the Golden Tree's hills, they were suddenly attacked.
What started out as a pit where coffins were discarded is now the home of the Son of Bad Omen.
In the face of this group of heavy-skinned enemies, Ash decisively took out the Great Curved Knife that he had captured in search of the Platinum Son.
Sure enough, it is very useful, as long as the attack hits, the son of bad omen will bleed non-stop.
All Ember needs to do is make the Children of Omen unthreatening, then give them to Melina and Millicent, and take on the next enemy himself.
At such a pace, the battle should have ended quickly, but the unexpected happened.
Because he was holding a sword in his left hand, Millicent's attacks were always a little off, and if it weren't for Ash looking back for support, the crooked axe of the son of bad omen would have fallen on his body.
After the war, the ashes cleaned the battlefield in search of something usable.
And Millicent was so preoccupied that she stood on the hillside and didn't know what she was thinking.
Melina stepped forward and kicked the ashes who were bending over and rummaging through something, and snorted her mouth, signaling that Millicent was in a bad mood.
Ash doesn't care, the journey is like this, how can it be smooth, and at the same time, Millicent is also a strong girl, she must be able to think about it.
