Chapter 109: Night Pursuit, Divine Rescue
Late at night in the mountains and forests.
The Roy trio ran desperately in the opposite direction of the moon.
The celestial rules of rising in the east and setting in the west also apply in this world, although the direction of the moon's setting will be slightly off, but there will not be much deviation in the general direction.
After more than an hour of running and hiding, the trio had run almost seven or eight kilometers away.
Under the physical enhancement of the first level, this distance is really not enough compared to normal circumstances.
But considering that you are walking in the jungle at night, this distance is outrageous.
But even so, the three of Roy didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and continued to bury their heads and grope forward.
Andrew, who is behind him, as a master peak shaman, is no different from ordinary orcs in terms of physical fitness, or even weaker.
But compared to humans, his physical fitness is enough to beat an ordinary person or an awakened person.
Coupled with the help of witchcraft, in the darkness of the night, the escape of the Roy trio was nowhere to be seen in front of him.
Therefore, even if Roy and the three made a misleading trace, Andrew's pursuit team did not choose the wrong direction.
It was also Roy's misleading efforts that made the distance of the pursuit team gradually narrow, and at this moment they had chased a kilometer away.
Andrew looked in the direction the three of them fled, and slightly tightened his furry brow.
This direction is in the direction of Snow Valley Town, are these three people just residents of Snow Valley Town, just taking advantage of the chaos to escape?
But the special light of the fire was obviously the main reason for the fire in the granary last time, how could these inhabitants have such a thing?
Andrew, who was confused, felt that the trio stopped to rest again, and hurriedly urged the dark guard.
"Quick, the other party stopped again, and seized this opportunity to surround it."
"Yes, sir."
The selection and training of the Dark Guard were all with the orcs, and the group did not feel frightened or disobeyed by the black-robed shaman's orders, and left to speed up according to his orders.
On the other side, Roy, who was wearing a rough air to cover his tracks, suddenly felt something, looked back at the dark mountain forest, and suddenly a nameless danger rose in his heart.
"That's not right...... They're catching up, stop tossing, let's go!"
Roy still believed in his instincts very much, and hurriedly beckoned his companions to leave.
The familiar aura of danger was the same as he had often felt in the castle, and if I remembered correctly, the other party had come to capture them himself.
"Damn...... The other party found out and went full speed ahead!"
Sensing that the three of them suddenly continued to run wildly, Andrew, who had already touched a lot, no longer let people hide on the eve of the eve, and went straight to full speed.
The running movement of the hundreds of people woke up a lot of insects and beasts between the mountains and forests, and the quiet mountains and forests became very lively for a while.
The movement behind him was naturally discovered by Roy, and at this moment his face showed a touch of happiness.
The ability given by the young master before gave him an inexplicable intuition about the battlefield or danger, and he could sense it as long as it was unfavorable to him.
When he first came to Snow Valley Castle, he sensed a special force watching him, and its strength crushed him to death in a matter of moments.
But fortunately, he has the ability to disguise the master, so he can suppress the fear in his heart, so it is not exposed.
However, it is precisely this power of attention that allows him to better gather intelligence.
After all, this attention is not all the time, as long as it disappears, Roy will know that the other party either did not return to the castle, or ignored him, and this is also the best time to probe for information.
In this way, he also successfully obtained a lot of information and sent it back to Qingyuan Town.
And now this familiar aura has reappeared, which makes Roy's heart full of vigilance.
Although the three of them said that they had rested in the middle of the night, they were already slightly tired physically at the moment of running so desperately.
And the pursuit team behind him, although it is not much better, but with the bonus of the power of the shaman totem, the fatigue has dissipated a lot in an instant.
Hearing the movement behind him getting closer and closer, Roy was also very anxious.
"Damn, there's someone like a mage on the other side who is following us, so we won't be caught in a moment......
"Layton, Canny, run down the mountain path and delay us with Molotov cocktails."
"Good!"
Looking at the mountain and forest path, Roy immediately had a plan, and hurriedly commanded the two to turn around and run towards a narrower path.
Rushing into the narrow mountain road, Roy found a lot of weedy and jungle, lit an incendiary bomb with a slightly trembling hand and threw it between the bushes.
The glorious white fire engulfed the entire road in less than thirty seconds.
Andrew, who was chasing after him, looked at the road in front of him that was engulfed in flames, and his face became very embarrassed.
But then he directly wielded his own wizard power and began to extinguish it with the help of elemental power.
Knowing that the smoke of this fire was poisonous, Andrew did not rush closer, but used witchcraft at a certain distance to try to extinguish it.
However, due to the huge ignition area of the incendiary bomb, coupled with the ghostly flames scattered after the explosion, Andrew was a little tired in dealing with the fire.
By the time they had finally cleared a road that could be passed, the three of Roy had already passed through the mountains and forests, heading farther away.
At the same time, a few kilometers away in a makeshift camp on the ridge.
The soldiers, who were on guard, saw the flickering fire in the distance and hurriedly woke up the captain Hobert.
Although it was several kilometers away, Hobert, who had seen the performance of the incendiary bomb and the light of the fire, could tell at a glance that it was the fire produced by the 'mysterious substance'.
This kind of weapon, which only Master Goodern possessed, suddenly appeared in this wilderness, and the only possibility was that the target they came to find encountered danger and had to use this weapon......
"Assemble, quick, get ready for battle."
The people who received the battle preparation were ready in less than thirty seconds.
"I don't know what's going on, everyone cheers up."
"Yes!"
After Hobert's simple challenge, the group immediately headed in the direction of the firelight.
The team that had set off since yesterday afternoon had completed all the mission locations in less than eight hours, and followed the information guidance all the way in the direction of the Yongshuang Mountain Range.
When Roy was rescued by the secret guards, he also took the opportunity to leave a code mark, pointing out the direction and whereabouts of the group.
This also gave Hobert and the others a clear direction to follow, and now when they saw this fire, it also meant that their search route was correct.
Although it was a little inconvenient to ride the horses between the jungles, fortunately, the speed was also guaranteed, and in less than twenty minutes, the group found the traces left by the dark guard.
Looking at the messy footprints and broken branches around him, Hobert's face showed a hint of solemnity.
This number seems to be at least a hundred, so many people are hunting, can Roy still hold on?
"Quick, keep going, Roy should have gotten some important information, otherwise the other party wouldn't have been able to hunt him down like this."
At Hobert's urging, the team also sped up the script again to catch up.
On the other side, Roy looked at the enemy behind him, and there was a slight hint of despair in his eyes.
The three of them were armed with only two small daggers, and it was obviously a bit unlikely that they would rely on this to face a pursuer who could flatten the Imperial soldiers.
"Run separately, if you can run one by one, you must bring the news back to the young master, so that he can be wary of the Eternal Frost Mountain Range."
Layton and Canny looked at each other and nodded heavily through gritted teeth.
"Run? Where else do you want to run......
Suddenly, a harsh and penetrating voice echoed in the ears of the three people, and the three of them did not see this
Hesitantly spread their legs apart.
And in the next second, something suddenly broke out from under the ground, grabbed the ankles of the three directly, and firmly locked their entire lower bodies.
"Humans who can run better than rats can be considered to have caught your ......."
Under the gloomy words, the three of them also saw the figure of the black-robed shaman.
But at this moment, their whole bodies have been firmly trapped by unknown forces, and they can't move at all, they can only watch as a group of people surround them.
"Ho-ho, now I can finally know your secrets...... Well? Are there any other rats?"
Andrew, who was close to Roy, suddenly sensed that a new team was approaching, and hurriedly sent someone forward to solve it
"There are not many people, twenty, the dark guard, and I will leave it to you."
"Yes, sir......
Roy, who heard from Andrew's words that there seemed to be reinforcements, was stunned, and then hurriedly used all his strength to prepare to remind him.
But at some point, a nameless force had restricted his pronunciation, and even if he used all his strength, he could only make a whining sound.
"Want a reminder? Don't worry, they'll ...... later."
Before Andrew could finish his words, a fierce burst of gunfire instantly broke the jungle that had just quieted down.
"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"
Hobert and the others, who had long been ready for battle, no longer hesitated to fire immediately when they found the figure when they got closer.
The first batch of experimental laser light modules, Goodern, made a batch to be mounted on a magic rifle.
When everyone officially engaged in the battle, the dazzling light shone out from under the muzzle, directly making the secret guards hidden among the dark trees nowhere to hide.
The sudden light made the dark guards a little dazzling, and they couldn't help but squint their eyes.
But in the next second, a series of slight explosions sounded, and some of the secret guards who hadn't figured out what was going on before falling to the ground.
With the parameters of the magic rifle, even if it can only fire and attack, the suppressive force it can cause is enough to make it difficult for the 100-strong dark guards to move forward.
Looking at his teammates who fell inexplicably, a wave of fear also sparked in the team of the dark guards.
Andrew, who sensed that the vitality on the battlefield was decreasing, realized that something was not quite right, and immediately dodged to support.
As a man with state-of-the-art weaponry, Hobart doesn't have a rifle and doesn't just stare at the battle, but has his own mission.
Some new types of magical equipment are also used by them, such as the simplest detection device, which is used to ensure that they are not attacked.
The detection equipment that integrates reconnaissance and imaging can provide a relatively safe output environment for everyone.
When Andrew appeared, the probe device left to warn everyone.
Hobert, who had been prepared, immediately aimed in the warning direction and began to pull the trigger for fire coverage.
Andrew, who hadn't reacted yet, just wanted to detect the situation ahead, and seven or eight metal projectiles whistled by.
With the peak strength of the master, he sensed the danger in an instant and quickly built a defense for himself.
But the time was too short, and an iron projectile from nowhere passed directly through his right arm.
The piercing power of the iron warhead instantly knocked out a terrifying bloody hole in its right arm.
This inexplicable attack method shocked Andrew's heart, although he could also sense the fluctuations in the operation of magic.
But these are just the workings of some low-level magic, but the things that cause damage to him don't look like they can be caused by low-level magic.
Andrew, who has always spared his life, saw that the situation was not right, and immediately retreated, intending to escape.
The injuries caused by the three masters in the first battle when rescuing Gergil at noon have not fully recovered, and this time his right arm is injured, so he can't continue to hold on.
As for the remaining secret guards, Andrew didn't have the heart to care about them, and was ready to run away.
But
Before escaping, he looked at the three escapees who were trapped by him, and after thinking for a while, he then took out three inscriptions and flew towards the three of them.
Unbeknownst to the trio, he left a special mark to help him get the news.
Immediately after all this, Andrew fled into the darkness and headed towards the Eternalfrost Mountains without looking back.
Under the crushing battle, the resistance of the dark guard did not last long before turning into birds and beasts and disappearing into the forest.
Under the attack of the magic rifle like a slaughter, in a short time, only thirty of the hundred or so secret guards were left to escape.
Looking at the enemy who disappeared on the detection equipment, Hobert did not dare to be careless.
This thing itself is a detection of the awakened with qi or magic power, and although the threat that appeared just now was not killed, the other party also retreated and fled in an instant.
Following the formation of the battle alert, the group quickly advanced and found the trio who were tied and fixed.
Seeing Hobert's familiar face, Roy whined excitedly.
"Roy? How could you be...... Wait a minute, I'll get you out right away."
As he spoke, he pulled out the dagger he had brought with him and cut the vines that bound them.
Roy and Hobart were among the original bodyguards and knew each other.
Later, Gooden explained Roy's actual identity to Hobert and other loyal subordinates, which eliminated the 'hatred' between them.
"Ahem, I, I thought I'd never see you again......
After being rescued, Roy also regained the strength to speak, and with Hobart's support, he looked like he was going to live after the catastrophe.
"Let's not talk so much, it's still dangerous here, let's retreat first."
"Okay."
As Roy, who was operating behind enemy lines, he also developed a decisive character, and after being rescued, he didn't talk much nonsense, so he followed the group out of here and returned to Qingyuan Town.
Everyone worked hard all the way on the road, and when they returned to Qingyuan Town, it was exactly seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
In the morning, Goodern, who had just finished breakfast, received the news that Team Hobert had successfully brought Roy back.
In response to this lurking hero, Gooden also immediately summoned the other party.
But before Goodern could see Roy, a violent magical aura suddenly erupted in the castle guest room Herissa's room, and swept through the entire Qingyuan Town.
The horror of the aura made ordinary people who had not been exposed to magic feel a trace of abnormality.
At the same time, Andrew, who was fleeing with his head down, suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Qingyuan Town, with horror in his eyes......
