Chapter 313: Enri's Talent and Kuirat's Provocation
Chapter 313: Enri's Talent and Kuirat's Provocation
Seeing Tang Zheng summon two fourth-level angels at this time, Captain Negan frowned.
"It's not a wise move to consume so much mana when the situation is unclear now."
Captain Nigan thought to himself, "But that's good too. This will allow the Paladins to hold on longer."
The staggering zombie beasts kept jumping and pouncing on the paladin, showing their hatred for the living.
With every swing of the sword, a member of the Paladin could easily kill an undead. With mutual cooperation, the entire defense line was very solid.
But this time!
The large number of undead showed no signs of stopping. Instead, their numbers grew larger and larger, surrounding the entire elite force.
1 minutes!
3 minutes!
10 minutes!
The remains of the undead were piled up so much that it was impossible to count them. All the members of the Paladin Order were protected by magic and armor. Although no one was injured, they were already gasping for breath.
“Hiss—Wow—”
The animal zombies became more crazy, and their rotten vocal cords emitted creepy roars.
"Captain!"
"This can't go on any longer."
Vice Captain Gustavo quickly came to Remedios' side and spoke.
"I know, wait a moment!" Remedios replied with a cold face.
Deputy Captain Gustavo immediately understood and turned to look at the location of Lord Kuirat, Captain Nigan, and Tang Zheng.
It seems like they are discussing something over there!
"According to the results of the detection magic, there is a relatively strong magical fluctuation about 1 kilometer away in the northwest."
"The other party should be the enemy who controls this group of undead to continuously attack us." Captain Negan informed the two of the result of his men's investigation.
After a brief pause, Kuilate turned his head and looked at Tang Zheng beside him: "Captain Tang, what do you think?"
"I can cooperate with you two." Tang Zheng shook his head and spoke softly.
Kuirat thought for a moment and said seriously: "The enemy has revealed their position, it could be a trap."
"According to the safest option, we will continue to act according to the original plan."
As soon as these words came out.
Captain Negan glanced at Kuirat obscurely and wanted to speak, but in the end he did not refute.
None of them were the type to drag their feet, and they sprang into action immediately. The 200 members of the Priests Corps, plus the 80 members of the Sunshine Scripture, cast summoning magic at the same time.
A moment!
The sun seemed to rise above everyone's heads.
280 guardian angels appeared again and scattered to kill the undead in the surroundings.
The holy light and the flying figure of the guardian angel appeared in everyone's sight, dispelling the fear and oppression brought by the undead.
"All Paladins retreat!"
The two deputy group leaders quickly issued orders.
The Paladins' positions were all taken over by Guardian Angels, much to the relief of the Paladins.
The entire elite force began to move again!
One kilometer away.
Under the faint moonlight.
At the top of the gently undulating hill, two cold figures in the moonlight calmly looked toward the conspicuous troop in the darkness.
The light released by the 280 guardian angels was extremely conspicuous in the dark night in the hilly area with only moonlight and no other light.
"Tsk, tsk."
"It's really scary. With so many guardian angels, they will surely die miserably if they are besieged." The gray-robed wizard sneered.
"They're moving again." The black-armored knight holding the rotten sword said calmly:
"As expected, they are the elite of the Holy Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy. We cannot stop them with just these low-level undead."
"It's more fun this way, isn't it?"
The gray-robed wizard's dry eyes flashed with brilliance: "Tonight's night will be long, and my physical strength and magic power will only continue to be consumed."
"Do you know how a weak bug hunts stronger prey?"
"Unfortunately, although the number of undead is huge, the time is too short to naturally give birth to more powerful undead."
Time passed little by little.
The entire elite force finally escaped the attack of a large number of animal zombies. No one cheered, only an even more silent atmosphere.
Everyone knew that this was only the beginning. The enemy was more cunning than they had imagined. Even though they knew that it was continuously draining their physical strength and magic power, they were unable to target it effectively.
As the summoning time ends!
After the 280 guardian angels turned into light and dissipated, the priests and the Holy Scripture of Sunshine began to summon 50 guardian angels in rotation at regular intervals.
The moon in the water.
March 3th, 29:5.
A hint of white has appeared in the eastern sky.
As the night gradually faded, a group of elite troops seemed to emerge from the oxygen-deficient underwater, breathing in the rotten-smelling air that they had disliked when they first arrived in the hilly area.
All night long!
The crowd could no longer count how many undead attacks they had encountered. Even the paladins with the best physique felt unprecedented fatigue due to the tense nerves and continuous fighting.
Undead will be affected during the day and most will not actively attack.
Unless they are controlled by a magic chanter, and the number of undead controlled by a magic chanter is bound to be limited, this is a moment of respite for everyone.
Enri rolled up her sleeves and helped pass food and water between the paladins and the priests.
To this ordinary, tough girl.
Many people had a favorable impression of her, and they could more or less see that An Li wanted to do something.
"vomit--"
Suddenly, a vomiting sound was heard.
A female priest, her face pale, looked around awkwardly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't help wanting to vomit again, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
"I have a clean handkerchief here."
Enri turned around, walked over quickly, and took out a square patterned handkerchief from her pocket, without any disgust at the vomit that the priest had vomited in front of her.
"Thank you."
The female priest swallowed hard, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, taking the handkerchief in embarrassment and panic.
I don’t know if it was this vomiting that triggered a chain reaction.
"vomit!"
"vomit!"
"vomit!"
The sounds of vomiting came one after another from the priests.
A night of running around, coupled with the stench and smell of decay from the undead mingling in the air, had already made the priests unable to endure it.
An awkward atmosphere permeates!
The strange looks from the Paladins made these priests, who usually held high positions and only needed to pray to God and study magic, want to hide their heads in the ground.
There are not only people from our country here, but also people from the Silian Theocracy.
It’s so embarrassing!
"Ah."
Captain Negan saw this scene and looked at it with contempt: "A bunch of shiny weapons that have never been forged in fire and blood."
really.
The people of the Holy Kingdom, who were immersed in the protection of the city walls and fortresses, had no idea how weak they, the human race, were on this continent.
Kuirat's expression remained unchanged, but he still felt a little embarrassed in his heart. His eyes swept over the disciplined and well-trained [Sunshine Canon] beside him, and the gap between the two sides became more and more obvious.
Looking at the many priests vomiting.
"Well, well, I only have a handkerchief."
Enri touched her pocket and spoke awkwardly. "It's okay, they can take care of themselves." The priestess, who had just lowered her head in shame, couldn't help but smile and speak.
If she was the only one vomiting, it would naturally be embarrassing, but now there were more than one person vomiting, so she no longer felt embarrassed as she did at the beginning.
"Hahaha!"
The Paladin laughed heartily:
"They are not children. Why do they need you to take care of them, An Li?"
"We are paladins and priests. It is our responsibility and obligation to protect the country and the people!"
"That's right!"
"Enri, although you are an adventurer, you are also a citizen whom we need to protect in the face of the evil undead."
There were sounds of laughter in agreement, and some people even spoke loudly and seriously.
This laughter and words not only immediately dispelled the subtle barriers between the crowd, but also eased the tense atmosphere a lot.
It was even more embarrassing because of the embarrassing vomiting incident just now.
Remedios and Quilat, who had looked gloomy, regained their composure.
Facing everyone's kind smile,
An Li felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
She discovered that these paladins and high priests, who had seemed cold and aloof before, were not as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.
"Tsk~"
Clementine stood where the Holy Scripture troops were, glanced in that direction, and a look of disdain appeared on her face.
His agile eyes briefly looked between Remedios, Tang Zheng, and Ge Jin.
Clementine felt a little headache: "How boring! I really want to test the strength of the leader of the Paladin."
“And the original purpose~”
"I can't find any chance to attack you. Why don't I just change my target?"
not far away.
Tang Zheng took out a piece of pickled meat from the bag on the evil dog's back, cut off a piece and mixed it with a few large pieces of hard bread, and threw them into Xiao Hei's mouth.
"Aww."
The evil dog chewed the food in its mouth happily.
Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Hei's long, thick black hair, and smiled gently at Enri, who seemed to have become friends with the people of the Paladin Corps and the Priest Corps.
"Owner."
The Green Leaf Witch came over and spoke in a low voice.
"Noticed something." Tang Zheng.
"what?"
The Green Leaf Witch was a little confused.
"I'm talking about An Li."
The Green Leaf Witch turned her head and looked at where Anli was, seeming a little confused.
"It's easy for her to win other people's favor, isn't it? Or maybe she has a talent for making people feel close to her." Tang Zheng chuckled.
The Green Leaf Witch stared at Enri and suddenly realized this during the time when she was selling the "Regeneration Potion".
She found that An Li seemed easier to deal with.
of course.
Maybe it was because of her constant sullen expression, or maybe it was because of the "Regeneration Potion".
Tang Zheng didn't say anything more. He looked around and noticed that "Black" Pavel was communicating with a female paladin and didn't seem happy.
“That female paladin, is she Neia’s mother? I didn’t expect she was involved in this incident.”
Tang Zheng's eyes fell on the female paladin with a golden ponytail and a tough-looking personality, and his eyes flashed slightly.
soon.
He noticed Go Jin, who was sitting in the corner and looked a little lonely.
Tang Zheng put the remaining pickled meat back into the bag carried by the evil dog, took out a large piece of pickled meat as long as his arm, and walked over.
I heard approaching footsteps.
Ge Jin raised his head and looked over with pale eyes. A large piece of fragrant pickled meat flew into his field of vision. He subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it.
"If you don't mind, try it. It's a bit too salty for humans. It's suitable for making soup in the wild. It's pretty good if you add some other ingredients."
Tang Zheng chuckled and spread his hands: "Unfortunately, the current environment is obviously not suitable for doing this."
Go Jin looked at the pickled meat in his hand, which was emitting delicate golden and transparent fat. This was obviously not a cheap ingredient. He then looked at the hard bread casually provided by the Holy Kingdom.
"You really enjoy it."
Go Jin was not polite and took a big bite of a piece of pickled meat. It was too salty for humans, but it was a delicious delicacy in his mouth.
Since leaving the empire and entering the hilly area, he has rarely tasted delicious human food.
“Being an adventurer is still very hard.”
Tang Zheng walked up to Ge Jin, chuckled and shook his head:
"The captain of the first adventurer team I met once told me that pickled meat is a very convenient food. In addition, drinking a bowl of meat soup in the wild is a very pleasant thing."
Ge Jin swallowed the whole piece of pickled meat in a few bites and licked his exposed sharp teeth: "It's indeed not as comfortable as when I was in the Empire."
"Regret it?"
"Ha! Are you kidding me? I am Ge Jin, the "King of War" Ge Jin!"
Ge Jin raised his head sharply, his eyes showing a fierce and serious response.
"You don't have the high-spirited look you had when we first met," Tang Zheng said half-jokingly.
"I'm just worried about the situation of the sub-humans." A look of worry appeared on Go Jin's face.
He suddenly wondered if it was a wrong decision to let humans enter the hilly area, but without the help of humans, there was no way to get rid of the group of undead and the powerful magic chanting behind them.
"What are you two discussing?"
A soft voice came.
Tang Zheng and Ge Jin raised their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Kuirat and Captain Nigan walked by.
"Just chatting." Tang Zheng responded with a smile.
Go Jin took a look and then looked away. No matter how much these two people disguised themselves, he could sense their deep hatred for the sub-humans.
This is especially obvious compared to Tang.
"You should have seen the current situation. Things are far more serious than previously planned."
Kuirat did not dwell on this issue too much, and tried to look calm as he looked at Ge Jin:
"Sir Go Jin, can you tell me how far we are from the gathering place of the demihumans?"
"At the previous speed, it will only take one day." Ge Jin responded indifferently.
After a night of travel last night, the original three-day journey has been shortened to one day.
"Only one day's journey?"
Kuirat nodded first, then narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I don't mean to doubt this conclusion. Lord Go Jin has been gone for so many days. How can we be sure that so many subhuman races will still be there?"
In the face of doubt and distrust,
There was a flash of anger in Ge Jin's eyes, and he suppressed his anger: "Of course I have to thank you humans for the food I traded with you."
"You have seen the current climate in the hills. There is a lack of water and food, and there is also the threat of the undead."
"There are enough food and water sources in the southern mountains, and with the special terrain advantages of the valley, it is enough to protect the subhuman races."
Hear this.
"I see."
Kuirat didn't show any anger because of the food. Instead, a bright smile flashed across his face:
"In that case, most of the tribes in the subhuman zone should have gathered in this location."
"That's right." Ge Jin responded dissatisfiedly.
Tang Zheng heard the conversation between the two, and especially noticed Kuirat's subtle provocation, and his eyes moved.
Is this the purpose of the Holy Kingdom?
