Chapter 363: The Forest That Moves
It's early in the morning again.
This was the fourth early morning since Kellius entered the forest.
According to the Demonic Beast Gathering Place provided by Norra, the team of more than 200 people very smoothly bypassed several Demonic Beast Gathering Places that might cause heavy casualties and advanced smoothly.
The battles encountered along the way almost did not cause any casualties, and compared to yesterday's tragic battle, today can be described as smooth sailing.
In such a situation, even Cornelia, who has never regretted her decision, can't help but complain that she didn't let Norla lead the way sooner for what she wanted.
"In that case, maybe there would not have been such a big casualty yesterday. Cornelia said chagrined.
"Your Highness, please don't blame yourself. The orcs and Jolene Osage were clearly coming at us, otherwise they would not have ambushed us with such precision. So even if Sister Norla leads the way, we will inevitably be at war with these people. Renier tried to excuse Cornelia.
But it soon became clear that this sophistry had no effect.
"But the Fog Burial Flower is easy to bypass......" Cornelia retorted, interrupting Renel's reassurance.
As a plant, although it is a powerful demonic plant, they still have the fatal flaw common to most plants - they cannot move.
"If it weren't for the fog before the fog of the Fog Burial Flower, we wouldn't have been so caught off guard when we met Jolene Osage. The final loss will never be so great. The more Cornelia spoke, the more painful and regretful she felt.
Hundreds of cronies and subordinates died because of their mistakes, which had to make the self-respecting princess feel painful. Even though no one blamed her for this, she still kept blaming herself in her heart.
What's more, the Lich Relic, which changed the fate of the Empire, now seems to be able to enter it without any problems, and the probability of obtaining that item is getting lower and lower.
"This ......" Hearing this, Renier didn't know how to comfort her lord, because strictly speaking, this team suffered such a big loss, largely because of Cornelia's decision-making mistakes, just as a subordinate. It's hard to say it to your face.
Just when Renier didn't know how to comfort Cornelia. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in front of them. The two of them ended their conversation and looked at the approaching knight.
Soon, a chestnut-haired female knight rushed in front of the two, who was none other than the first deputy captain of the guard. Sivon Fiachild.
Siphon rolled over and dismounted. Reporting to Cornelia, "Your Highness. Sister Norla said just now that we are about to enter the hunting range of the Bloodthirsty Forest. ”
"It's good, let's just say that I know the way. Cornelia said indifferently. A look of fortitude. It's as if the fragile woman just now wasn't her at all.
Then she ordered: "Command the whole army, strengthen the guard!"
"Yes, my Highness!" said Siphon.
"Your Highness Cornelia, now is not the time to dwell on the past. Then comes the most critical time, if we can reach the ruins, then those comrades who died will be happy because they died honorably for the sake of their country and their lord!" Renier said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Conelia's expression was shocked, and she tightened her knight's spear, and said firmly: "That's right, completing the task entrusted to me by the empire and His Majesty the Father Emperor is the most important thing now. This is the only way to comfort my lovely subordinates who are here forever!"
"Your Highness is wise!" Renier breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Come with me to the front, my female officer. Cornelia rode forward.
Looking at Cornelia's familiar back, Renier said excitedly, "This is the Highness we swear to follow......
"Keep up, Renier!"
"Yes, my Highness. ”
Two figures, almost in parallel, galloped towards the front of the team.
On the other side, at the front of the line.
Norla was now directing her three-headed sheepdogs, looking for a path in the canopy in front of her.
"Lord Kyleus, there are still about a hundred meters to go, and we are about to enter the legendary forest. Norla reports on the progress of her work.
"Well done, Norla. Kylelius complimented.
Then he turned his head and asked Elizabeth beside him, "What does the princess say, do you want to move on, or do you want to rest in place for a while?"
"I sent Xifeng to ask just now, but there is no news yet. Elizabeth shook her head.
"Well, there's no way around it, just keep going. Fortunately, we have not yet entered the danger zone. Kylelius made an impromptu decision.
And Elizabeth on the side also made her unconsciously agree with him, an outsider, because of his shocking performance in the past two days.
"Then it's decided. Norla ...... "Kylelius saw that Elizabeth had no opinion, and was about to give orders to Norla, when suddenly Sivon returned.
"Her Royal Highness's order, the whole army continues to advance and strengthen the guard!" Xi Feng said in a loud voice.
"It seems that Her Royal Highness the Empress also means this. Kylelius chuckled when he heard this.
"Yes. Elizabeth replied softly, but said nothing.
"Then move on, Norla. Kylelius said.
"Yes, Lord Kyleus. Norla responded.
Soon, the crowd had walked about two or three hundred meters, and had already crossed the dividing line and entered the realm of the legendary Bloodthirsty Forest.
But nothing happened, and it was still no different from any other forest.
"Doesn't seem out of the ordinary?" said Cornelia, confused and delighted.
"Indeed, Your Highness. I think it may be that the 'Bloodthirsty Forest' has moved somewhere else, or has not yet manifested in the eternal world. Renier, who has low personal strength, also breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"We only analyzed the approximate time of the Apostle's appearance at first, but we don't know exactly when it appeared. The time of appearance is only a rough guess based on the time when the legend appeared, and it is impossible for us to encounter it by such a coincidence. Cornelia said with some excitement.
"So, it's possible that the Bloodthirsty Forest will appear next year or the year after, or even last year or the year before. Elizabeth added.
"Exactly, my knight. It looks like the next trip will be easier than expected. Cornelia said briskly.
The originally heavy mood in everyone's hearts suddenly became relaxed, and the big stone that pressed on everyone's hearts fell slightly.
But before he could fully land, he was suddenly picked up by Kylelius again. (To be continued......)
