After night fell, the team of the "Holy Congregation" stopped in front of the inner city wall of Elson.
Captain Spark obviously has a certain understanding of this city, and knows that Elson is not as simple as it seems, so throughout the whole day today, he led the team to carry out carpet searches in the areas outside the inner city. After confirming that there were no ambushes or traps around, I found an open space outside the gate of the inner city for camping, and prepared to enter the "inner city" tomorrow.
Caution when carrying out missions outside has saved Spark's life many times, so after checking the surrounding buildings, he had to confirm the emergency evacuation route before he was relieved. After dinner, he simply sat in front of the campfire with The Arcanists stated the next task.
"The situation in the outer city is roughly confirmed. There are no elemental fluctuations and no traps, but the inner city should be another matter. 'The Holy Society, the internal information given to me, said that most of Elson's core secrets are in the inner city, especially It's on the magic tower in the center of the inner city, so everyone must follow the team closely from tomorrow onwards, if there is an unexpected situation, retreat is the first choice, don't take risks at will, understand?"
Arcanists are not bloody soldiers, so their silence at this time already represents a response.
"The sentry at night requires three people to rotate together. There must be no mistakes. I—"
However, before Spark finished speaking, everyone's attention was diverted by the sudden voice next to him...
"There is someone over there"
Camilla was standing at the back of all the team members, but at this moment she raised her finger and pointed to a building not far away and sounded an alarm in a low voice.
Even if they knew that she and Spark had conflicts, people in the "Holy Church" knew that this kind of place couldn't be a "joke"—everyone immediately became vigilant, ready to fight one by one, and then went forward under Spark's leadership. The house was surrounded from front to back.
However, after searching for a long time like facing the enemy, they found that... not to mention human figures, not even ghosts in this house.
However, Camilla was not sure that she did see figures. Some of them passed behind the window, and some even stopped at the end of a certain alley and glanced at her. The team members were suspicious and continued to search, but when Spark and others After being pointed and ran four times by her, she still didn't see any "living person" in Camilla's mouth.
Instead, they didn't even see a dead mouse.
Therefore, when Camilla said for the fifth time that she saw a figure appearing in the distance, Captain Spark said with a gloomy expression: "If you see something, go find it yourself."
There is nothing wrong with saying such things... After all, except for Camilla, no one else has ever seen the so-called "figure". As a result, the credibility of Camilla's words has dropped sharply. At this time, no one is willing to believe her words up.
But who would know that Camilla really saw these figures
The words of the original rebuttal were swallowed back, and it was obvious that Camilla also understood that the things in front of her had a weird taste-there were fifteen people in the whole team, why was she the only one who could see these shadows
The closer she was to the inner city, the more clearly she could see some wandering figures in the surrounding buildings. Not only that, but her headaches also intensified. However, after searching again and again, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
It was late at night, and Spark's team that was no longer tossing and tossing finally rested, but Camilla looked around with her eyes open—because the murmurs in her head made her unable to sleep at all.
She is no longer willing to tell her companions that she can hear various voices, because now, if she goes to tell others what she saw or heard, I am afraid that she will only be completely regarded as a lunatic
All of this is probably an illusion that appeared on my own.
Camilla covered her cheeks in pain, trying to sleep, but stayed up all night.
The pain made her feel like years, and when the sun rose again, Camilla ate some food and was about to keep up with the team, but she saw Spark walking forward and said flatly: "Because the inner city is relatively It is dangerous, so after a simple discussion, we decided to let you stay here and be responsible for the safety of the camp and the rear."
Camilla clenched her fists.
"If anyone wants to enter the inner city, you have to signal us and stop them. If we go well, we will return here after leaving the inner city."
"Okay, the explanation has been finished, let's move on. Camilla, remember your responsibilities.
After speaking, Spark led the team towards the inner city without looking back. Camilla didn't even have room to refute.
She clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't know what she should do... Looking at the team that was gradually going away, she gritted her teeth, but a few minutes later, she let out a long sigh, and then sat powerlessly in the simple camp. Inside.
"That's...that's fine."
The feeling of being directly abandoned as a lunatic made Camilla extremely angry and helpless—because in front of the "holy meeting", she will always be a weak person with no power to fight
Camilla has long recognized the cruelty of this world: she has no choice in her life.
Rubbing the center of her brows vigorously, Camilla tried to relieve the increasingly severe headache. After thinking about it, she reached out and fumbled for a small bowknot in her pocket.
So far, perhaps only this bow that belongs to Nai Fei can relieve her bad mood a little bit
"If I can't go back, at least the Church won't think I'm apostate..."
As time passed, Camilla sat haggard in the cold wind, only feeling that her body temperature was also dissipating with the wind—there was no movement after the "Holy Congregation" team left, and she thought everything would just go silent , but I never expected that just an hour later, there was a sudden... sound of horseshoes from the street not far from me.
"boom"
When the explosion sounded, Rody, who was walking on the streets of Elson, immediately clenched the short bow in his hand.
"Battle Ready"
The heavily armed knights on both sides immediately drew their swords on guard, and the mature followers raised their shields to form an formation, and under the leadership of Soderol, they were ready to meet the enemy with solemn eyes.
"Be careful of the enemies that may appear around you, Akasha, pay attention to protection"
Rody shouted a few words behind him, and then jumped off the horse. A "bursting arrow" was already on the short bow, and he stepped up to the top floor of the high elf-style residence beside him—
For Rody, the most likely enemy to encounter in this city is Bellom's undead army. So he asked the scouts to carefully explore the way ahead, in order to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, and the sudden explosion at this time clearly indicated that there was contact with troops ahead.
"Nata and I are going to see Soderol, and lead the team to keep up."
After Rody finished speaking, he accelerated and rushed forward. Nata was a step slower and quickly followed Rody's pace. The two flew past countless buildings and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. .
The scout's detection range is not as far as in the plain, and Rody's requirement is a distance of 300 meters, so it only took Rody 30 seconds to arrive near the scene at this time—but when he and Nata arrived here, they Just in time to see a grey-robed mage attacking scouts with fireballs
"Elementalist?"
Rody thought he would see a necromancer, but he didn't expect to meet an elementalist here—the identity of the other party is obviously not a necromancer. Although she is wearing a gray cloth robe and a hood, she is obviously a slender woman .
This situation made Rody a little puzzled, but since the opponent attacked his subordinates, he had no room for peace talks. Turning his head and making a few gestures to Nata, Rody stepped towards the building next to him and jumped into the shadows almost immediately.
Nata picked up the longbow to find the right time—different from the previous shortbow, the longbow Rody gave her was extremely stable. Although it was not as easy to carry as the shortbow, the hit rate was improved by a notch, and the pull feeling was also better than that of the shortbow. I don't know how many times smoother it was before.
The expensive "bursting arrows" are now the standard equipment for Rody and Nata. The specially weighted spiral-feathered arrows can maintain a very high accuracy at a distance of 100 meters. Nata followed Rody's teachings and found a After standing on a high-lying platform with three obstacles, he immediately drew his longbow and shot an arrow.
The arrow speed of the longbow is slower than that of the short bow, but for unsuspecting targets, this kind of arrow that flies silently is even more difficult to guard against.
But the gray-robed mage's reaction was obviously beyond Nata's imagination: the opponent did not use a shield or dodge in embarrassment, but directly rushed out from the side, dodging the arrow with an extremely vigorous posture.
"Snapped"
The exploding arrow exploded on the ground, blasting a pit in the rocky ground, and the sorcerer quickly rushed towards the nearby dwelling—the opponent's speed was extremely fast, and every step seemed to be assisted. After a few steps, he rushed into the door...
But in the next second, Rody's bursting arrow shot straight into the room through the gap in the window.
"boom"
This arrow did not hit the opponent's body, but successfully used the explosion's air wave to force her out.
But before Roddy could shoot the second arrow, an inexplicable thrust came from behind and pushed him directly off the roof.
"I"
Rody cursed secretly, but he didn't understand what kind of skill the other party was using - Rody was not a problem at a distance of five meters, but after landing, he found that the other party was charging towards him
There is a mage who dares to fight melee
Rody was surprised, but he picked up "Blood Drinker" and rushed over without any fear.
Camilla bit her lips tightly, her messy long hair covered her eyes due to the blast—there was a crack in the skirt of her chest, some blood seeped out, and most of the cloak behind her was blown to pieces, because The tinnitus caused by the bursting arrows made her unable to hear the surrounding sounds...
For many years, this was the first time she had been forced into such a situation by humans. As an arcanist, such a record was enough to be ridiculed by others.
The actions of Spark and the others made Camilla feel resentment accumulated in her heart, but the appearance of Roddy, a strange guy at this time, just made her the target of venting her resentment...
