Rogge touched his lips and was silent for a moment.

At the last moment when the communication was cut off, Rogge saw the determination in Thea's eyes.

As a noble elven princess and a demon hunter who guards the world, she should fight to the end and never give up.

Since she was still able to communicate with him, it meant that the situation was not so bad that it could not be recovered.

Thea must be on the run, but where will she flee to?

Cartagena is surrounded by a relatively flat wasteland with occasional oases, and it's clearly not a good place to hide.

To the north of this epic megacity is the Hess Forest, inhabited by the High Elves; To the south, through a few orc tribes, you reach the dungeon-dotted goblin colony; In addition to the orc tribes in the west, there are also habitats for giant beasts such as stonehorns, thunderfangs, and manticores, and the major giant tribes are also in this direction.

Ignoring all other factors, Hess Forest is undoubtedly the best way to go. Thea is a nature archmage, her strength bonus in the forest is terrifying, and she is an elven princess, and escaping into the Hess Forest is like returning home.

So will Thea flee north?

Thinking about it, Rogge didn't think she would. Because no matter how muscular the warrior who pursued her was, he was not to the point of being brainless, and he would definitely set up a lot of interceptions in the direction of the Hess Forest, and he would definitely intercept and kill Thea and the three before they fled into the forest.

Therefore, the north road is not passable, but it is a good lure direction, and Rog estimates that Thea will first go north to make the illusion of escaping to the forest, and then choose one of the south and the west.

Cartagena was located relatively close to the empire, and the western territory was vast, and at the time of the invasion of the whole country, there were still huge troops marching towards Cartagena.

If Thea chooses the west, it will be to flee against the army of orcs and giants, and it is better to go directly to the north and fight to the death.

The natives of the south where the dungeons are dotted are goblins, and they are weak individuals and pose little threat to the trio.

Goblins have lived in that land for generations, and the entire underground must have formed an intricate underground world, with a large number of underground passages connecting the various dungeons, providing excellent shelter for the three of them.

In addition, nature magic is a branch of earth magic, and although the power increase in the underground is not as large as in the forest, it is still much better than in the wasteland.

And Sonia is an assassin with strong hidden ability, and she can play better in the dark environment underground.

Of the three, Rick the archer would be restrained in a relatively narrow environment, but according to Thea, Rick was seriously injured and should not have recovered so quickly during the escape. Besides, Rick's archery skills are extremely exquisite, and he seems to be able to use swordsmanship, so the weakening is not much.

So Thea will flee to the south, only the south has a glimmer of life, and what Rogge has to do is to help her amplify this glimmer of life.

Rog decided on his goal, the goblin territory was to the west of Fort Hofra, and he was going to lead the team west.

Of course, he can't go directly to the west, otherwise there is no point in not finding Thea, he also needs to attract the attention of the orcs, and try to attract some pursuers for them.

With this in mind, Rogge gave an order: "Everyone, rush out and follow me!" ”

Fifty men wielding butcher knives gathered together, turned on their horses, and the magicians were inside, and the warriors were outside, and rushed towards the rear of the second vanguard of the orcs on the verge of collapse in a solid arrow.

……

Outside Cartagena, the capital of the Orc Alliance.

Thea was covered in blood and dirt from the gutters, but she was still beautiful.

She pouted slightly as she savored the touch on her lips.

Before cutting off the communication, Thea controlled Cuiyu to peck Rogge, but forgot for a moment that she and Cuiyu were synaesthesia.

She was a little angry for a while, the little man always said to him "hold on", it was nice to say, there are so many chasing soldiers and so strong, how can it be so easy!

So she just couldn't help but want to bite him, but she didn't expect to hand over her first kiss, and the taste was ...... Yes, it's really cheap.

But what he felt was the hard touch of the kingfisher's beak, and that wasn't a loss, and the corners of his pouting lips hooked slightly at the thought of it.

Thea shook her head, freed from these useless distractions, and suddenly remembered that she had seen Rog in the middle of the battlefield during the correspondence.

It seems that the Orc Vanguard has launched an attack on the Empire's northwest defense, and hopefully the Empire will be able to hold it.

More details came to mind, the people around Rogge were very strong, and there were a few who called him captain, and he didn't care about people.

Could it be that he had formed a team to go deep into enemy territory to save her? Combined with the fact that he has always said "hold on", and despite the fact that they have only been together for a short time, they already know his character, Thea thinks that this must be the case.

How stupid.

Thea shook her head, she had to run if she couldn't run now.

Thea turned to look at Rick and Sonya.

Rick clutched the large bloody hole in his abdomen and leaned weakly into Sonya's arms with a happy expression.

While vomiting blood, he said, "We must have boys in the future, because I don't want to like girls other than you." ”

Sonia rolled her eyes, resisting the urge to press his wound and wiped the blood from his mouth for him.

No way, this is a wounded, you have to get used to it, not to mention that the injury was still suffered when she was saved.

"Sonia, I like you so much." Rick said weakly.

"Shut up."

"Oh......"

The mentality of the three people is very relaxed, their task of monitoring the Holy Descent Gate is completed, it can be said that these ten days in Cartagena are a feat, a legend, if written into a story, the kind that will last for centuries.

Provided, of course, that the world of Hestya survives this catastrophe.

The little man told her to hold on, the stupid brother hasn't caught up with the girl she loves, and Thea doesn't want to die herself, so let's try harder.

This place, on the west side of Cartagena, was a safe spot they had found in advance, but the three of them could only rest for a while, and the pursuers would soon be able to find them.

"Rick, Sonia, it's time for us to go." Thea summoned her fellow spirit beast in the Twilight Forest, the Poison Spotted Wood Dragon Rotten Wood.

Thea ...... Sister, I can't walk. ”

"Let Sonia hold you."

"Okay! Shall we flee to Hess Forest? ”

"No, there must be a dead end there. We fled south, into the earth, and there was hope for life. ”

"Listen to you, I won't turn my brain anymore."

"You're not in a good head." Thea said lightly.

"I'm a wounded now, you can't say that about me."

Thea showed a hideous wound on her arm, "Who isn't a wounded yet?" Sonia is more injured than you, and you're embarrassed to lie in someone's arms. Is Sonia soft? ”

“…… Soft. Rick struggled to his feet with Sonya's help and leaned over to the rotten wood.

"Wait." Thea stopped them, "We don't ride rotten wood. ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, the rotten wood doesn't fly fast, and it will be chased by the manticore. No, what are you summoning it out for? ”

"There are many and strong pursuers, we will definitely die if we run directly, there must be bait." Thea touched the dragon head that the rotten wood came over, and her face was full of reluctance and sadness, "Rotten wood, please." ”

"Dry." Rotten wood rubbed Thea's palm hard.

Thea stretched out her hand, and a faint green light bloomed between her palms, and three bulges appeared on the body of the rotten wood, the same size as the person who was sitting.

Thea's eyes flowed, the bulge quickly changed shape, and the figures of a man and two women appeared, as vivid as carefully carved sculptures. ýanbkj.ćőm

She dressed the three dummies and put them on hoods so that from a distance, even those with excellent eyesight could not distinguish them.

After doing this, Thea said, "Go ahead." ”

"Wither!" The rotten wood flapped its wings and flew quickly to the north.

The three of them watched as the dragon, which was already slow but was now deliberately slowing down, gradually became smaller, a large number of bipedal wyverns poured out of Cartagena, and dozens of strong manticores chased after the rotten wood.

Rick's lips moved, and he said slowly: "Rotten wood will not be sacrificed in vain, we will definitely live." ”

"No, it won't die." Thea took out a piece of wrinkled wood and shared the body of a dragon named Dead Wood. "It's just going to be a good sleep."

When the dead wood fully attracted the attention of the pursuers, the enemy thought that they had fled to the Hess Forest in the north, and the three of them left their safety and fled south.

……

In the face of the strangulation of the Empire's elite, the Second Vanguard of the Orcs collapsed.

The orcs cowered, the goblins screamed and fled, but where could they escape the pursuit of the light cavalry of the Knights of the Burning Sun?

There are also heavy cavalry of the Viper Knights in the rear, and they are like a moving wall, completely blocking the retreat of the orc army.

Rogge led his team out of the enemy line with ease, and soon disappeared into the vast wasteland.

At the same time, the light cavalry of the Knights of the Burning Sun withdrew from the battlefield, formed a team of fifty people, dispersed and disappeared into the night.

Head of Fort Hofra.

Filia held a letter and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

This was sent by Rogge after ending his correspondence with Thea, and it read: "The Holy Descent Gate has been confirmed to be activated, and in a month, the alien demons will invade in a big way, let Lao Cha find a way." I'm going to save Sonya, love you! ”

- There is a good reason to save Sonya, by the way, save Thea, right? She is very beautiful, but she has to be responsible for seeing other people's bodies?

- And why did you ask Nana to write a letter......

- I love you too.

"Miss." A Sun Knight told Filia to retract her thoughts, "As you ordered, the Light Cavalry Regiment has been dispersed. ”

"Well, don't send scouts in the direction they're traveling, so as not to be exposed."

"Yes."

"Send a copy of Fort Hofra's war report to King Charles."

"Yes."

The knight leaves, a fragrant wind wafts by, and Matilda appears, snatching Filia's letter and taking a few looks.

"Rogge gone?"

"Hmm."

"How is Nana's handwriting?"

"Maybe Nana thought it was fun and wrote it."

“…… Okay. Don't worry, I've got a helper for them. ”

"I'm not worried. Aunt Matilda, you have to go to heaven. ”

Matilda was about to correct Filia's mistitle when her expression suddenly froze.

A strong figure appeared in mid-air.

The Great Chief of the Orcs, Grull the "Hellaxe" is here.
