Chapter 40: Conflict

Lance and his party walked through the lush forest of Irene, and as always, there were no birds or insects chirping around.

The wind was a bit strong, and the branches and leaves on the trees made a rattling sound under the force of the wind.

Lance, who was moving forward, took a quick step and quietly approached Ike and whispered, "Hey...... Ike, did you notice that it looks like someone is following us?"

"Don't look around and pretend you didn't find out. ”

Blank, who walked next to Ike, whispered a reminder before Ike could react.

Ike's action of turning his head immediately turned into looking down at the road.

Soon, the group was led by Orlando to a clearing with less vegetation, and Orlando stopped with a gesture to rest in place.

Seeing Orlando's actions, everyone instantly understood his intentions, so they pretended to relax and make a trimming appearance.

Tecklin even took out some dry bread and ate it directly.

"You found out too?"

Orlando asked in a low voice as he took the bread from the package.

"There seems to be only one person on the other side, I don't know if there are other people in ambush, and the sneaky ones must not have any good intentions. ”

Suo Long chewed a small piece of jerky in his mouth and whispered to everyone.

That's a bit emotional.

However, everyone can understand it.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not feel very comfortable in their hearts.

It all started two days ago.

Two days ago, Suo Long changed the pendant he had worn for many years to the bald boy Ike, but he didn't want to, the pendant that could only release an ordinary magic shield in his hand, and in Ike's hand, he could instantly improve Ike's strength from the middle of the primary realm to the high level of the junior realm.

Such an encounter is simply envious of others.

Suo Long himself was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

It's also a shame that although this person is a little greedy, he also has his own principles, otherwise I really don't know what it will become.

It's just that it's been two days, and the depression in Suo Long's heart hasn't disappeared yet.

The stalker had hit his fire.

"In this way, I'll go around and check first, if the other party has no malicious intentions, maybe I can exchange some useful information, if the other party has any other plans......"

Orlando said, making a subtle gesture in his hand.

The rest of the people gave each other a tacit look, which was a tacit acquiescence to Orlando's approach.

"Stay safe. ”

Blank reminded.

"I know. ”

Orlando answered, patted the crumbs off his hands, and left on his own in a direction far from where the peeping was located.

Lance, who had been observing Orlando, had a flash of clarity in his eyes.

Sure enough, it was a jungle ranger, who used his roundabout strategy so skillfully to pick out such a clever route in such a short time.

If memory serves, there's a long, narrow rocky field over there.

Through the rocky field, Orlando will soon be able to sneak behind the peepers.

"Who do you think could be following us?"

Ike elbowed Lance and asked quietly.

"I don't know, but I don't feel any malice when they've been following us for about a bucket of smoke. Lance shook his head slightly.

"What do you want to do so much? Just wait for news from Orlando. ”

Blank said.

Only the dwarf Teklin showed a worried look on his face, and said angrily: "The Irene Forest is full of dangers now, Orlando is alone, something should happen, right?"

Who knows if the panther, who is as strong as a ghost, will suddenly jump out and hurt people.

"No, with Orlando's skills, even if you really encounter that black panther, you may not be able to resist the attack of the black panther."

As he spoke, Blank's hand was firmly on his weapon.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the forest.

"Bang...... Qiang Qiang ......"

The few people who were talking quickly entered the battle mode, and all the members rushed in the direction where the sound of the fight came.

Ike was the first of the few to rush.

Once he saw the outfit of the man fighting Orlando, Ike lost interest in continuing to help.

It was a middle-aged church knight.

His body was covered with mud, his hair was also messy, and he looked like he was in a mess, and at a glance he knew that he had suffered a lot during this time.

Ike doesn't have any ill feelings towards the Church Knights.

Therefore, he was not prepared to intervene when he found out that it was a knight of the Church.

The others also arrived one after another, and Blanc glanced at the middle-aged knight and said, "Why are you still fighting?"

"Who knows!"

Suo Long pouted.

"What now?" asked Lance.

"Don't do anything, just watch. ”

Blank leaned his hands against a tree trunk, his heavy flesh leaning the not-too-thick trunk slightly.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Seeing that Lance and the others all appeared, the heart of the middle-aged knight who was fighting sank, he saw an opportunity, and he was very vigilant to leave the battle and retreat some distance, holding the mace in one hand and the shield in the other, and asked very seriously.

"Is the church even starting to take care of this now?"

Suo Long asked unhappily.

Blanc, who was full of smiles, also spoke: "We also want to know, as a dignified church knight, why did you still do the tailgating business?"

"Hmph...... You have no right to intervene in the conduct of the church. ”

The middle-aged knight's lofty tone fell into everyone's ears, making them very unhappy.

Suo Long sneered, "The affairs of our adventurers have nothing to do with your church. ”

After speaking, he turned to Orlando, who was confronting the middle-aged knight, and said, "Orlando, you can't do this, you didn't even restrain him directly, do you need me to help you?"

Men can't say no!

Ignoring Suo Long, who was suspected of provoking trouble, Orlando snorted coldly, and directly pointed at the middle-aged knight with a short sword: "Then I want to see what your church has to ask us." ”

After speaking, Orlando rushed straight forward.

To be honest, the previous battle, Orlando was not serious at all.

Originally, when Orlando was making a detour, he found that it was the surviving church knight who was following them, and since he was only one person, he wanted to try to communicate with him.

As a result, as soon as Orlando appeared, the other party directly called him and didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

At that time, Orlando still wanted to hear the news from the mouth of the surviving church knight, so naturally he would not be heavy-handed.

And now it's different,

The middle-aged knight's words just now suddenly burst the depression in Orlando's heart.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of battle, Lance watched it with relish.

The battle continues.

Lance found that the middle-aged knight seemed to be wounded, and on several occasions he narrowly escaped Orlando's tricky attacks.

After only a dozen rounds of fighting, the middle-aged knight has clearly fallen behind, but it may take a little more work for Orlando to defeat him.
