After rescuing the guards, Capricorn Gold Saint El Cid quickly avoided the body fluids spewed out by the ghouls. According to the guards, the body fluids of the undead carry a kind of plague, and once living people are infected, they will soon be infected. Turning into an undead, no complete treatment has been found so far. Only freezing using special methods has alleviated the onset of the plague.
"Drop everything and lighten the load."
When the arrows were exhausted, the guards and merchants began to throw away the goods carried on the carriage, and some convenient objects were used as throwing weapons to attack the ghouls.
"Hey~ come help, these disgusting ghosts are catching up again." Kaludia scratched his ears and said depressedly: "Really, I basically didn't encounter anything good along the way."
The three Silver Saints are Orpheus of Lyra, Argoro of Perseus, and Alubioni of Cepheus. With the strength of the Saints, it is not difficult to deal with the ghouls, but considering It was a secret mission, and the five of them were all dressed as ordinary travelers. After all, the holy clothes were too ostentatious, and usually everyone would wear them if they could.
Olphi is known as the strongest Silver Saint among the Saints. Olphi's music has brought a lot of convenience to everyone during the journey, such as accommodation, intelligence collection, and the current hitchhiking situation.
But in front of the brainless ghouls, the elegant music of the piano could not impress these undead souls. Because he did not want to expose his strength, Olfei could only pick up the things around him and throw them at them like the other two Silver Saints. of ghouls.
Alubioni of Cepheus raised a large vase and hit a ghoul in the head. The vase hit the ghoul and rolled several times before stopping. However, he shook his head and the ghoul The ghost didn't even care that his eyeballs were smashed out, and he spread his limbs and followed him like a greedy money wolf.
"Damn it~ give me a taste of this."
Perseus Arugolo on the side also raised the barrel and threw it down, but the ghoul quickly dodged it.
As a Silver Saint with the petrifying Medusa Shield, Argoro almost caused the Bronze Five to be wiped out in the original work. In the end, the purple dragon was forced to blind his eyes before finally killing him. Defeated, however, the Medusa Shield, which can now petrify living things, has little effect on the undead that have lost their souls. When forced, Argolu had already taken out the Medusa Shield and pointed it at the ghoul, but the white light The surface of the ghoul that flashed past was solidified into stone. As they run, their solidified and petrified skin will instantly collapse, revealing their bloodless muscles, making them look even more disgusting and terrifying.
After throwing a lot of goods, the road along the way was in a mess, but no one could care about it anymore. After losing weight, the speed of the carriage quickly increased a lot, and it quickly distanced itself from the ghouls. After seeing those terrifying undead being gradually thrown away, everyone could finally wipe off their sweat and breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before they could relax for long, the group of people suddenly noticed that the speed of the carriage team had slowed down, and soon the entire team stopped moving forward.
The guards at the rear of the motorcade suddenly shouted: "What's wrong? Why do you have to stop?"
"The road ahead is blocked by a fallen tree, please come and help."
Tsk~ Kaludia gritted his teeth and jumped out of the car first: "It's true that misfortunes never come singly."
Several other Saints also quickly got out of the car and ran to the front with the guards. They saw a big tree lying on the road, completely blocking the convoy.
Several guards and businessmen were trying hard to move the big tree, but this big tree, which had grown for hundreds of years and seemed to require several people to hold hands to hug it, was not light, even if everyone had used all their strength to move it. Jin can only make this big tree move at a turtle's speed.
no solution anymore! !
El Cid stepped forward quickly: "You all get out of the way."
Facing El Cid, the guards who were moving the big tree ignored them and instead urged El Cid to help. Seeing this, El Cid frowned slightly and then swung a blow. The sword energy formed by the holy sword condensed in the hands of the Capricorn Golden Saint immediately tore open the ground, and rushed towards one of the guards with a seemingly invincible momentum. Under the frightened look on the other side, the sword energy was only a hair away. Stopping in front of the guard, the ground that seemed to have been turned upside down explained one thing to the guard. What would have happened to him if he had been directly beheaded just now┉┉
"You┉┉What are you┉┉?" The steward who was directing looked at El Cid and stammered. Before they appeared, these five men were just hitching a ride with the Chamber of Commerce, but he had never seen them before. A warrior who can tear apart the ground with a wave of his hand.
"There's no time, get out of the way."
Under El Cid's sharp scolding, the guards quickly dispersed and left their positions.
He raised his right hand. Even if he is not wearing the Golden Saint Cloth, El Cid's strength cannot be underestimated. As the Capricorn Golden Saint's eyes show a sharp look, in the eyes of the surrounding guards, El Cid's right arm seems to flash with a golden light. generally. The ground suddenly roared, and a huge sword energy cut open the ground and the tree trunks blocking the front.
"Sword Qi┉┉Is that the legendary sword Qi!?"
"But he didn't use a sword."
Some discerning guards began to discuss in low voices, but when they saw the road being opened, everyone acted quickly and directed the carriage to start moving forward. However, when El Cid returned to Kaludia and others, the surrounding merchants and accompanying guards all looked at the five people with awe.
When he saw the convoy starting to move forward slowly again, El Cid finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving Ulduar City. El Cid and Caludia led the other three Silver Saints to enter the Holy City area through the Kingdom of Saxony. Although they used the power of the Kingdom of Saxony to apply for identity documents, due to the raging undead, the group of people The first stop was the Kingdom of Ballayka, which was heavily guarded and delayed a lot of time in document authentication.
However, although the battle with the undead is ongoing, everyone found that the basic order of this country has not been shaken. Under the coordination of the Holy Capital, allied forces from various countries are gathering here to fight and study the undead, even some ambitious people with evil intentions It was also restricted at this special time. Through the general observation, El Cid discovered that although the Holy See in the eastern part of the mainland has the largest number of believers based on the information provided by Lord Yalin, its communication with the secular country is not as good as that of the Holy Capital. Some royal families and countries in the east are wary of the Holy See, but the Holy Capital is more popular with secular royal families among the countries in the western continent.
All commercial activities are still going on in the cities behind, but food and drinking water are strictly inspected. The reason seems to be that the undead once put a plague into the river, causing the people in the entire city to turn into undead. Now on the mainland Many important river sections in the west have been equipped with detection arrays. Not only that, but during recent inspections, it was found that some food has also been mixed with the plague.
After several twists and turns, everyone still followed Yalin's request and started to go to the Youxuan Grassland, the autonomous habitat of the orcs. From the information they learned, everyone learned that this grassland is located in the northwest of the mainland and borders a small country called Zegus. Recently, due to the war, some airships were requisitioned, making it difficult to get a ticket for the airship. After leaving the Kingdom of Ballayka by airship, the airship was almost temporarily grounded for the rest of the journey. Everyone had no choice but to go to the Kingdom of Zegus via land.
Everywhere along the way, there will be new checks, not only on the undead but also on the cultists who worship demons. These checkpoints have caused the group's progress to become extremely slow. The most tragic one was in In a city, I was planning to set out the next day, but I encountered a search for a cultist's altar. As a result, the city was under martial law and no one could enter or exit the city. After a delay of two days, the martial law ended and everyone was able to leave.
As a result, the Youxuan Grassland, which was originally planned to take less than a month to reach, took nearly two months to reach two-thirds of the distance. After arriving in the Kingdom of Cordoba, we finally found a The caravan that was heading to the border to trade with the Kingdom of Zegus hitched a ride along the way. The five Saints, who thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, encountered the undead that originally only wreaked havoc on the border of the Kingdom of Balleka. .
At this time, the Scorpio Gold Saint Kaludia was already complaining about the bad luck along the way, lamenting that this trip was really a misfortune.
However, Kaludia didn't actually know that the attack by the undead this time was really the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, because the person behind the undead army was the one who sent them out.
In fact, it was completely helpless for his own people to beat his own people this time. It was impossible for Yalin to tell these friends with an excessive sense of justice that he was the mastermind behind the undead army, and that the Lich King Arthas and Yalin were far away in the horizon. It was also impossible to send a message to the Scourge Legion to give the Saints a wide berth. From the initial news he received, Yalin learned that the undead army had been blocked in the Kingdom of Balleka, but he never considered that it would actually happen. Some guerrillas penetrated into the Kingdom of Cordoba in the rear to fight guerrillas.
What was even more unexpected was that this time the Saints would be in trouble all the time, and they would collide with this guerrilla squad of the Scourge Legion.
"Undead! Those ghouls are already chasing us!"
When the fourth carriage passed through the opening, the guards on guard at the rear shouted.
This is bad!
Everyone was dumbfounded because the intersection was not very wide and the convoy was passing through one after another. Some carriages had been left behind to save time, but there were at least three carriages that needed to pass, and these carriages carried more cargo. There are some passengers who are also paying for hitchhiking. You can throw away the goods, but you can't leave these innocent civilians behind.
"Hurry through and let the women and children leave first. Everyone else should take up arms and try to stop these undead."
In an instant, El Cid shouted loudly, as if he had replaced the guard captain who unfortunately died in the chase just now. (~^~)
