28. Illusion in the blood
The eldest lady escaped in the woods.
She was not one to abandon her compatriots and flee alone, and the most orthodox education she received from an early age gave her the commanding power of a midnight nobleman.
She knew very well what it meant to run away in the family without a fight in such a situation.
But she can't turn back and choose to fight.
Because she no longer has any compatriots to speak of, the fall of the Midnight Hunters is a foregone conclusion when faced with a Gold-Rank enemy who has burst into battle.
The opponent is a white knight who is good at natural psionic tactics and can use magic skills, and this is still a forest terrain!
It's just full of fatal elements.
For a vampire psionist who had not yet passed the trial of the Silver Body to escape from such an enemy was already an underogable victory.
However, a huge question was echoing in Fimis's mind.
Even if the remnants of these old religions are not well received in the Plantagenet Kingdom, and even if the witch hunter group is scattered into the Transylasia region as expendable cannon fodder, there is still no one like a Golden-tier powerhouse who can restrain his actions at all.
Even if Finok is really working for the Plantagenet Kingdom now, then he should be left by the side of General Loren, the commander of the Pioneer Legion!
Unless the general is crazy, he dares to let such a "humanoid monster" move around.
And most importantly, if Nofik had been operating in the Translancia region before, why did his father know nothing about it?
The White Knight is not a class that excels at stealth.
As long as Old Finok shows up, he will definitely be caught by the agents of the Blood Vulture Clan, and his sudden appearance is not at all logical, unless...
"There is a traitor in the family! The local intelligence network was disrupted. ”
A terrible guess came to the eldest lady's mind, and perfectly explained the reason for her desperate situation, the Vulture Clan's control over Transcia was in trouble, and the family was unable to detect the real threat.
The powerhouses of the gold rank are all passive, and the enemy's target can be imagined.
Cadman City.
They're going to attack Cadman City!
The conclusion of this conclusion made the eldest lady hold her breath for a moment, and the moment she realized that the clan was worried about ruin, Fiimis strengthened her determination to escape.
She must inform her father of this news immediately, or the loss of the entire Blood Vulture Clan is imminent.
However, the outcome of such a thing as running away has never been decided by the escapees themselves.
All she could do was use her psionic skills to distract more illusions in all directions, distracting her pursuers' perception, but a few minutes later, just as the eldest lady was finally about to break out of the smuggler's woodland, the blazing sunlight from behind swept across the woodland like a waterfall stream.
"Ahh
Philimis let out a cry of pain.
She felt as if she had been thrown into a boiling cauldron, and she could feel the scorch and burning caused by the ripples of the sun's psionic energy sweeping across her skin, making her unable to even maintain her flight at this moment, and her whole body dragged the billowing black smoke to the ground.
This level of psionic energy burst completely drained the vitality of that high-level psionic master of the Ring Tower, who basically launched a final attack with a will to die.
But the results are encouraging.
The eldest lady who smashed on the ground in embarrassment didn't even need to perceive it.
She could be sure that the Midnight Hunters she had gathered had been sadly wiped out, and the question now was, would she have a chance to escape from the deadly forest that was meant to be left for the enemy?
The answer is no.
Before the eldest lady could recover from her burns and paralysis for a few minutes, she could spread her wings and take off into the air, when the figure with an oak sword appeared in front of her.
Right!
It's ahead! And not the rear.
This proves that the breakthrough of the eldest lady just now is also under the delicate control of this white knight, and the whole forest confuses her, so that instead of approaching the border, she goes deeper into the forest.
Like a desperate prey played by a skilled hunter, in the face of crushing-level strength, no amount of noble bloodline can save her from this quagmire desperate situation.
Old Finok approached Fimis in front of him with the flaming oak blade, and the trees around him twisted as he walked.
The branches and vines intertwined to form a "birdcage" that even twined above the two of their heads, cutting off the road to the sky.
"What a lovely little girl, but unfortunately she has a vicious heart, and like other vampires, you should hide in your night and live your life like a mouse.
But you always want to get into the sunlit world. ”
The old knight said in a tone of disgust:
"You started the war and upset the whole world, and now it's time for you to pay the price, so don't look like you've been bullied, kid.
You brought it on yourself! ”
Miss Fimis knew she had no way to escape.
At the last moment, she didn't want to greet eternal silence as a coward, so she simply let go and planned to fight to the death that she didn't really like.
In his left hand, he drew a ceremonial magic blade sword, and in his right hand, he moved his five fingers to draw the dark spiritual energy from the night, and the scarlet light danced in his fingertips, quickly shaping a spiritual energy throwing spear with thorns at both ends.
This is also an advanced extension technique of psionic impact, and it was not recorded in the eldest lady's codex and was learned by Murphy.
It's not that the eldest lady doesn't want to teach, it's just that this thing is an advanced use, and it's obviously not something that a psionic rookie like Murphy can master in a short period of time.
She took a deep breath.
In the chaotic blowing of the forest wind, the black hair flew, but he stared at the old Finock opposite without fear, and provoked in his own cold voice:
"The old cult crumbs, don't show the hypocrisy of being forced to fight! Aren't you here because you have broken your oath and turned your arms on the people and the country you swore to defend ten years ago?
The dignified state religion actually colluded with the stupid people in East Prus who were not as big as walnuts to start a rebellion!
You have been suppressed and turned into lost dogs, are we the King Louis who is secretly provoking you?
The entire Confederacy of Portia was also drawn into the Ten Years' War because of your stupid rebellion! You have your share in the chaos and darkness that you hate before your eyes!
What were you doing at that time, who claimed to be righteous?
Is it a part of the rebels' carnival of the slaughter of the people of Icebay and Saxophone? Or lead the mob into Bourbon and burn that pearl of Sealand to the ground?
Your words are returned to you!
What you are suffering now is your own infliction!
Any idea why the Blood Vulture Clan deliberately tortures a captured witch hunter?
It's not that we're cruel by nature, it's that the Sealand nobles are secretly paying us to do it! Unexpectedly, it's not us who hate you the most, it's your own people.
And you...
Deserve! ”
Although the eldest lady usually doesn't like to talk, this mouth cannon ability is really not covered.
The old knight, who said three or two sentences straight to the heart of the question, was speechless, and could only silently raise the holy blade and rush forward to end this meaningless debate.
The eldest lady threw a scarlet spear but was slashed by the white knight's sword, and in front of the holy blade that burned with the fire of purification, all of Fimis's skills and knowledge were useless.
In less than a minute, he was cut off by Old Finok's arm, and he was trapped on the trunk of a tree by the vines summoned by the White Knight.
"Sharp-toothed girl, rest in peace."
He whispered, then swung his blade and slashed down.
Phimes closed his eyes in despair.
She could feel the scorching fire of purification pouring down over her head, perhaps destroying all her vitality in the next second.
However, the imaginary pain did not come, and the eldest lady opened her eyes in surprise, and saw the oak-embellished holy blade firmly in front of her head.
The purifying fire wrapped in the blade on it was rapidly fading, revealing a smooth blade inscribed with elven script and a very quaint and sacred ancient oak cross gauntlet.
"Are you humiliating me? Mutter... Kill me! ”
The eldest lady was so white that her cheeks were bloody, and she swallowed her saliva, thinking that this old knight with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also a bastard.
But that's not the case.
Although Nofik was expressionless, he was also surprised in his heart.
It wasn't that he was deliberately teasing the little vampire in front of him, the purifying fire on the Holy Blade was self-subsiding, and the Holy Blade, which had hated the vampire just now and let out a howl, was also eerily quiet at this moment.
It's as if the Holy Blade himself is hesitating to hurt the midnight evil in front of him.
"How is this possible?"
The old knight was shocked at the moment.
The Oak Blade in his hand is the Warden of one of the Three Sacred Blades of the Old Religion, a god-given thing inherited from the elves, and the most disgusted by vampires, the "eternal sins".
Just now slaughtering the Midnight Hunters like killing chickens, how could this actively reclaim its strength?
He stared at the petite vampire in front of him, then thoughtfully withdrew his sword, and then took out a black seed from Phimis's wide-eyed gaze, and choked her somewhat baby fat cheek, forcing her to swallow it.
"Ahem"
The kind of seed melts in the mouth, and the strange taste makes the eldest lady cough violently.
She shouted:
"You... What the hell did you give me? Nasty bastard! How can you treat a person like this... Ahh
"What do you see?"
Finnock paid no attention to the eldest lady's struggle, and the old knight pressed Fimes's head and asked:
"Tell me, what do you see now?"
"Get out! Shameless stuff, I won't... Yes! ”
The eldest lady gritted her teeth and was reluctant to respond.
However, that kind of child seemed to have a strong hypnotic and chaotic effect, and her eyes were full of illusions, as if the whole world was turned upside down and distorted, and she could only vaguely hear old Finok's questioning.
"Tell me, son, what do you see? Describe what you see! It's important for both of us! ”
He continued to question.
Femis, on the other hand, felt his spirit wander through a chaotic scene, and he could vaguely see himself walking in the staggered starlight.
She shook her head in a daze, and said intermittently:
"Blood... I saw blood... Tree... Growing out of an endless pool of blood... There are no leaves, only branches... A tree... Is that... What is that? ”
"Smack"
This answer caused the old knight to squint, and then with a decisive wave of his hand, he freed the eldest lady from the restraint of the vampire vines and threw her to the ground in the distance.
The violent impact woke the eldest lady from that strange vision.
She looked up weakly and saw that the old knight had put away his sword and walked deeper into the forest.
"Why?"
She cried out weakly:
"Why did you let me go? Are you humiliating me? ”
This question brought the old knight to a halt.
He did not look back, but said in a dull and somewhat exclamatory tone:
"Go home and ask your father, poor little girl. I'm not letting you go, it's just that your future fate is miserable enough for you to live... is the best punishment! ”
These words raised more doubts in Fimis's heart.
But as if all her strength was drained at this time, she could only watch as the monster in front of her who had single-handedly slaughtered her entire team disappeared into the shadows of the forest.
Such humiliation and bitter defeat caused the eldest lady to hold the mud at her hand in pain, and after a few seconds of silence, she screamed as if angry.
"Ah!!h
Then, the scream summoned her a helper she hadn't even expected, and the effect was miraculous like a pet trainer's whistle summoning.
"Yo, Miss, are you okay?"
Murphy's voice rang out from a short distance, and then the young players rushed out of the forest that had returned to normal.
They ran over and surrounded the eldest lady who was lying on the ground in a defeated dog posture, but they did not reach out to help, but began to judge on the sidelines, using a strange language that the eldest lady did not understand at all.
"Mix... Bastard! Murphy! Take care of your rude servants! ”
When did the eldest lady suffer this grievance?
She was already injured and weak, and was watched by a group of young players for fun, so she yelled at Murphy anxiously and angrily, Murphy walked up to her slowly, and while reaching out to help her up, he said:
"That's how my minions are, rude, savage, but warm-hearted, don't be angry now, you need to rest, well, fainted... What a fragile lady.
My warrior Niu Niu, come here!
I now appoint you as the royal knight of the eldest lady!
Carry her on your back.
Let's go to the front and have a look. ”
