Chapter 318: Confident Negan, it may not be a good thing for her to follow me
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
"Seven-Colored Scales" Kokesh raised its snake head slightly, the colorful scales on its face reflected light slightly, and its scarlet snake pupils looked down at the three humans in front of it.
This time, forming an alliance with humans is a helpless move.
"Hey."
"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh sighed deeply in his heart.
Although they were powerful as individuals, they were no match for the Death Knight and the powerful magic caster who controlled the undead. A large number of demihumans and races died at the hands of the other side and turned into undead.
Unable to deal with these two enemies, they can only hide in the corner.
Go Jin went to ask for human support, but was opposed by many surviving sub-human tribes. However, "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh had no choice but to agree.
Probably with an attitude of "try everything possible".
He did not think that humans would care about the lives of the demihumans in the hilly area, nor did he think that the Holy Kingdom had the power to defeat that powerful magic caster.
however--
Humans actually came!
Not only was "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh not surprised, but he felt a sense of doubt and vigilance from the bottom of his heart.
The appearance of these humans here can only mean that they have the confidence to defeat the enemy!
Humans actually possess such power?
Under such circumstances, how could "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh allow the human woman in front of him to easily approach the gathering place of their subhumans.
Watching the atmosphere gradually become stiff.
Tang Zheng turned to look at Ge Jin: "This is different from what I said at the beginning."
"We are here to provide support. There may have been various problems between humans and demihumans before, but now our common enemy is the undead."
Tang Zheng knew that this was a good time for him to communicate with Ge Jin in order to break the stiff atmosphere.
Ge Jin was also somewhat dissatisfied with "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh. The human side had just been attacked, so how could they attack the enemy at this time?
"I think it's inappropriate too," Ge Jin said.
"so."
The Seven-Colored Scale spit out a forked red snake tongue while making a sound. It did not refute, but continued with the words:
"The mysterious magic chanter has not appeared in recent times. I am worried that a more dangerous situation may arise."
“That’s why I’m a little anxious.”
"In that case, then everyone, you will rest here for the time being. We will also stay here together to prevent you from being attacked by the undead again."
Next, the two sides communicated and tested each other again.
"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh never gave in and took Tang Zheng and others to the gathering place of the sub-humans.
finally!
The two parties could only end the communication in a half-hearted manner, and it was obvious that each side completely distrusted the other.
Tang Zheng and the other two returned towards the direction of the human forces.
"Captain Tang, thank you for the potion."
Kuirat put away his cold expression and said gratefully: "If it weren't for your potion, I'm afraid... Anyway, I will explain your achievements to Her Majesty the Saint Queen."
"Please don't take your sister's words to heart. She is a straightforward person and actually has no opinion of you."
“Captain Remedios, I’m glad she’s recovered. She’s an indispensable force in the next battle.”
Tang Zheng gently waved his hand: "The problem now is the subhumans, and what to do next?"
"Ah!"
Captain Nigan sneered, his expressionless eyes flashing with coldness: "We have basically figured out the enemy's intelligence. The evil organization [Chiranon] has 12 disciples in addition to the leader."
"The two people who appeared earlier are two of the twelve disciples."
"Since they sent out two people, they also dispatched the Death Knight. I guess the rest of the disciples are not in the hilly area."
At this moment, Captain Negan finally got rid of his usual silent appearance and revealed a cold and ruthless look.
"Captain Tang and Captain Kuirat should have seen the performance of the Death Knight."
Captain Negan looked at the two with his black eyes.
These two people in front of me!
Needless to say, Kuirat represents the Holy Kingdom.
What Captain Negan really needs to take seriously is this "free will" adventurer leader.
This is the first time I’ve seen a method of summoning two fourth-level angels!
Captain Negan was very surprised. Even with his power, he could only summon one.
A fourth-level angel is a high-level angel!
Especially the Surveillance Angel, whose attack and defense capabilities have a ratio of three to seven, is the monster with the strongest defense among summoning magics of the same rank.
In Captain Negan's opinion, the number of people who can defeat the Angel of Surveillance is very limited.
Even Clementine, a powerful and arrogant monster, could not easily break through the defenses that monitored all the angels.
His innate ability of "summoning monsters to strengthen" is not as powerful as Tang Zheng summoning two at once, even if it increases the power of a fourth-level angel.
The other party is also a genius alchemist!
With such strength, he is definitely a strong man who has entered the realm of heroes.
In the country of Silian, he would have no problem being appointed as the captain of the Holy Scripture Troops, and he might even be inducted into the [Black Festival] Troops.
Such a talented and strong person.
Captain Negan naturally placed Tang Zheng in a position equal to or even higher than Kuirat.
"The Death Knight is indeed terrifying, but since we can suppress it for a short period of time, the threat it poses to us is not that great."
Captain Nigan continued: "So, the real threat is actually the leader of Zhiranon. Since those subhumans know their location, it's good."
"Death Knight, I will deal with it!"
A look of surprise appeared on Kuirat's face. It was not a pretense, but a real surprise.
I was surprised by Captain Negan's sudden action, but I also heard another hidden meaning in his words.
The Church actually allowed him to carry props beyond the specifications!
Although Kuirat had guessed it in his heart a long time ago, he couldn't help but be shocked when Captain Nigan indirectly confirmed it.
Tang Zheng's eyes moved.
This is somewhat inconsistent with the attitude Captain Negan has always shown. Is it because of the brief exchange with the demi-humans that he changed his original plan?
Done.
Captain Negan did not give any explanation. He strode away with a cold and arrogant expression and returned to the [Sunshine Scripture] troops.
Quietly staring at Captain Negan's back.
"Captain Tang, you don't seem too surprised?" Kuirat said softly, a faint smile flashing in the corners of his narrow eyes.
"Surprised?"
"It's just a guess."
Tang Zheng smiled, looking somewhat carefree, yet curious:
"I know Gazef in the Kingdom. He is a civilian genius who defeated all opponents in the "God's Trial" with his own abilities. "
"He should have been awarded the title of knight, but due to the obstruction of the nobles, the king re-drafted a title and position of "Warrior Captain" and allowed him to use the national treasure to make up for Gazef."
"It's a very powerful magic item - even something beyond imagination."
Tang Zheng said this, looking at Kuirat in front of him, whose thoughts were hard to guess, and shrugged his shoulders:
"The Kingdom possesses such a powerful item. Your Holy Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy should also possess it."
"You know, I'm an adventurer, and adventurers are always curious about some legendary or special things."
Hear this.
The smile on Kuirat's face seemed to grow even wider: "This should be the reason why Captain Tang participated in this extremely dangerous mission."
Tang Zheng didn't say anything, looking noncommittal.
"Ha." Kuirat chuckled, raised a slender white finger, and gently tapped his chin: "It's really a dangerous bet and a curiosity."
"I was a little unsure at first, but now that Captain Negan has said so, Captain Tang just needs to rest assured."
"Even without the help of the demihumans, we can still destroy the enemy!"
Kuirat said this at the end with a firm tone.
In the brief conversation with Captain Negan just now, both parties had already decided to exclude the interference of sub-humans.
"I hope so."
Tang Zheng didn't seem to fully understand, and instead changed the subject, "Captain Kuirat, it shouldn't be like the rumors that he only has the power of fourth-tier magic."
Kuirat looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, smiled brightly, gently shook his long brown hair, and walked briskly back to the team: "Thank you, your team members, for bringing back their bodies intact."
Watching Captain Negan and Kuirat leave one after another.
"Really."
“One or two of them are so confident.”
Tang Zheng's eyes returned to calm.
If it weren't for other plans such as the "Death Spiral Ritual" and reasonable contact with the Silian Theocracy, he would not bother to play house games with these people.
When Tang Zheng returned to the human team, he saw the 51 bodies of paladins placed in the center.
Among them, the skin of 10 corpses had turned gray and black, obviously they had become undead, while the rest of the corpses remained intact.
Followed by.
Tang Zheng noticed An Li, who was sitting not far from the corpse with her knees hugged. He pondered for a moment and walked over.
Since Enri was taken away from Kahn Village by him, she had not actually experienced any normal adventurer missions. She just simply helped him sell some potions.
This was the first time I had seen someone familiar being killed.
"Lord Captain."
Hearing the familiar footsteps and seeing a white robe appear in her field of vision, Enri raised her head with red eyes.
Looking at the bloodshot eyes and tired cheeks.
Tang Zheng walked over gently, sat next to An Li, and slowly comforted her: "It's okay, cry if you want to."
"An Li didn't."
An Li raised her eyes stubbornly, but pursed her lips.
There was a brief silence.
An Li suddenly turned sideways and lay on Tang Zheng's legs. Her whole body kept twitching, but she never uttered a single cry.
"OK OK."
Tang Zheng saw his white priest robe gradually getting wet, raised his palm, and gently rubbed An Li's chestnut-blonde hair:
"After a good night's sleep, maybe they will come back to life."
"An Li... not a child, a child." An Li hugged Tang Zheng's legs tighter and muttered in a mosquito-like voice.
First they experienced a long-distance run all night, and then they went through a battle from dawn. Even a warrior as strong as a Paladin felt exhausted, let alone Enri who was just an ordinary person.
After a while.
Enri's shaking shoulders stopped and she fell asleep.
Tang Zheng did not move, letting An Li lie on his legs, staring calmly at the paladins and the tired priests resting in the distance.
The evil hound stood behind Tang Zheng, squatting on the ground, wagging its tail.
The Green Leaf Witch also stood quietly by the side. Her bright yellow pupils glanced at the sleeping Anli, and flashed slightly, with an expressionless face.
"She is only 14 years old now."
"The head of Carne Village and her parents handed Enri over to me, probably because they thought this was a very good choice."
“Maybe I was too goal-oriented.”
Tang Zheng spoke softly and said in a deep voice: "It may not be a good thing for her to follow me and leave Kahn Village. In the future..."
Tang Zheng didn't continue talking.
"Master, it was Enri who decided to participate in the mission herself."
The Green Leaf Witch responded calmly: "It is a lifetime honor for her to follow you."
Tang Zheng shook his head imperceptibly.
Night is gradually falling!
Kuirat, who had been silent all this time, came to the front of the corpses at this time and looked at the bodies of these paladins.
Kuirat's whole body began to release strong magical fluctuations, and a sacred white light surged, making his whole body look like he was wearing a holy robe of light.
This movement!
It instantly attracted everyone's attention, especially in the gloomy night. The sacred light allowed the demi-humans stationed not far away to see it clearly.
"Fifth-tier magic - resurrection of the dead!"
Kuirat began to sing.
A blue magic circle condensed and appeared above his head, transforming into a faint, fragmented beam of light, shining on the body of one of the paladins.
The Holy Kingdom exclaimed in disbelief and shock.
The dead paladin's chest began to rise and fall violently. The next moment, he suddenly sat up from the ground, gasping for breath.
"Resurrected?"
"Really resurrected!"
"Lord Kuirat has mastered the magic of resurrection."
“I’ve never heard of it before!”
"...!"
It vented out in the midst of noisy discussions.
The fact that Kuirat possessed the fifth-order magical power was obviously a relatively secret information in the Holy Kingdom.
Remedios, whose injuries had recovered, saw the shocked looks on the faces of the paladins and priests, and crossed his arms over his chest, looking very surprised.
Turn your head sideways.
Remedios quickly searched for a figure in the crowd and soon found Tang Zheng with a smug look on his face.
It's like a little kid trying to show off.
but.
When Remedios noticed An Li lying on Tang Zheng, his face suddenly turned cold.
"What an impolite fellow." Remedios snorted coldly.
Kuirat did not stop and continued to release resurrection magic. He only stopped after resurrecting 5 people in a row.
This is the Asian side.
"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokesh, "Beast General" Hector Weiss, and Go Jin stood at the outermost edge, looking in the direction of the humans.
"What is that?" "Beast General" Hector Weiss felt the powerful force filled in the sacred light and was somewhat surprised.
"The fifth level of "Resurrection of the Dead", that woman actually possesses such power!"
Ge Jin was also stunned and surprised.
"Seven-Colored Scales" didn't say a word, but its scarlet snake pupils flashed.
He felt more and more that the Hill People had been too arrogant and underestimated the power of humans.
