"Lalala~"
(')
In recent days, a bad little girl has visited the Great Temple of Esdru's Light, and then was bombarded by tracks near the lake to the south. Then, after cleaning up the guys who were looking for trouble, she started wandering around like a ok person.
The day before yesterday, she visited Elise City and stayed there for one night.
Then, the next day, she walked eastward and passed the stone bridge side by side guarded by a large group of elves. She looked at the "Two Bridges Sunset" scenery on the bridge, and also took a special look at the teleportation interference magic device "Emerald Gate" that was so magical.
Obviously, Anne did not argue with that kind of interference device, nor did she think that the broken thing was as powerful as those ordinary people.
From then on, until now, she has been walking towards the northeast along the road towards the Yanfeng Valley Mountains, which is the direction she goes back.
“??”
(.)
However, as she walked, Annie suddenly saw a large group of villagers who were dragging their families, pushing carts, rushing cattle and sheep, holding salutes, carrying bags and rushing along the road.
"Hey!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Miss, what are you running away?"
()
Then, after walking all the way and looking for a while, Annie found that more and more people were fleeing, so she took it for granted. When a young lady passed by her, she suddenly pulled the other party and asked curiously.
"you!!"
"Devil, monster!"
"It's a monster, so many monsters have come!"
"You run away too!"
"I, I won't tell you anymore!"
The teenage girl with a look of panic on her face and her hair was held in a dusty cloth scarf did not dare to say more. She just gave a few words casually and left in a hurry, and did not forget to remind Anne to run away quickly and not to move forward any further.
Everyone nearby was heading towards the direction of the "Emerald Gate", and the same was true for them, because there were many elves defenders there, and neither the Imperial Army nor the Kalsas Army had attacked there, so if they went there, they would definitely be protected, and the monsters did not dare to easily approach the place full of barriers.
“??”
く(＾_)ゝ
"Monster?"
(゜-゜)
"But, this place should be the territory of that empire. They heard that there were many armies nearby. How dare monsters cause large-scale rebellion?"
∑(△)?!
Anne was a little confused about this.
Unfortunately, before Annie asked, the young lady had already hurried away with her family and did not answer her questions.
"It's strange..."
(°〼°〃)
And, Annie remembers that it seems that the nearby area is not too far from the floating island she made, but why are there so many monsters popping up here? Are they not afraid of the Paladins or other guys on her island who are idle and have nothing to do and suddenly run down?
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*))) Alas
"Then go and have a look!"
(ˇˇ)
Since she couldn't figure it out, and since she was originally planning to move forward, Annie simply stopped thinking about it and continued to walk forward slowly.
Immediately afterwards, Annie encountered many refugees who were in a hurry along the way. Obviously, they must have been invaded by monsters and had to run out.
However, Anne did not pay attention to them or ask again. Except for the occasional few people who looked at her, the little girl who was wandering in the opposite direction, and spoke to remind her, no one else was concerned about her.
“Huh?”
(ー`ー)
"Is this the direction?"
˙˙)?
Not long after, as the number of pedestrians in front gradually decreased, Annie quickly sensed the powerful shadow power coming from somewhere.
Of course, in the eyes of people in this world, that is not a shadow power, but the so-called dark magic?
But no matter what it is called, anyway, Annie thinks that the shadow power in that place is so strong that she can sense it even here. Perhaps it must be related to the monster riots nearby and the escape of the villagers?
"Let's go!"
)
"Tibers, let's go and have a look!"
()
As he said that, Annie, who was tired of walking, simply threw out her bear, then jumped onto the other party's shoulder, lined up the other party's plush heads, indicating that the bear core, which was fully autonomously driven, could set off.
"go ahead!"
(ψｏ▽′)o
Actually, Anne didn't mean to eradicate monsters, and she didn't have that much leisure. Although, she had always been very free? But anyway, she just felt a little rare and wanted to go and see and find out, that's all.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
...
When a bear was forced to stagger its fat bear legs and rush forward, as the sky gradually became dark, in the direction of their advance, in front of a cave in the mountains that was constantly emitting powerful shadow power, three fearless guys had already lurked nearby and were sneaking up at the entrance of the cave.
"Hello!"
"Gneil, are you sure, that's it?"
"You read that right?!"
Looking at the cave in front of which was black but without any monsters outside, Matthew, who was also lying in the grass, asked uncertainly.
This place was discovered by Gniel, and it is said that many villagers were arrested. So, after getting the news, Matthew and Aimeda, who were already eliminating monsters nearby, followed each other to come here as soon as possible.
"It's definitely true!"
"My dragon and I have been scouting in the sky. During the day, we saw a lot of demons entering here."
"besides!"
"I even saw that they caught a lot of people in!"
Matthew said confidently, saying that he had not come to the wrong place and read it even more wrongly. Otherwise, he would not have invited the two of them as helpers as their first helpers.
"But……"
"Wouldn't it be nice for us to just go in like this?"
"It's just the three of us..."
"Wouldn't it be a bit too forced?"
Aimeda did not object to saving people, but she was still a little hesitant and afraid to enter the cave where there was unknown situation, and she didn't want to take such a big risk.
After all, they didn't know how big and deep the cave was, nor how many monsters and demons were entrenched there, and that was very different from the situation they had when they fought with monsters in an empty village or plain before.
"or……"
"Let's go find Sonia?"
"Let her send someone to scramble in and have a look?"
There are many demons on the floating island now, so Aimeda feels that if Sonia takes action or sends some demon warriors to lurk in and investigate, it will definitely be safer and more reliable than if the three of them break in recklessly.
"It's too late!"
"When Sonya comes, maybe all the villagers who are caught will die!"
Gniel interrupted Aimeda.
"Besides, Aimeda, what are you afraid of?"
"Look!"
"Matthew has a holy sword, you have a dark wand, and I have a dragon. We are now the most powerful adventurer combination on the continent of Elusalia. Are you afraid of this mere cave entrenched in the demons?"
Before Matthew was about to think and speak, Gniel directly refuted Aimeda's words and showed off with pride.
"But!"
"Where is your dragon?"
Aimeda was very dissatisfied, questioning loudly, and almost screaming, but fortunately, she quickly came to her senses, and asked in a low voice after she covered her mouth.
"You speak quietly!"
"It circling in the sky and standing by. Today's clouds are thick, and with the darkness, we definitely cannot see it now."
"As long as you need it, I can blow this dragon flute and it can hear it and fly down."
Gniel patted the magic bone flute hanging in front of his chest and comforted him, saying that the biggest backing of the three of them had been on standby in the sky and there was no need to worry about anything at all.
"But it can't get into this cave, it's too small."
"so……"
"It can only fly down when needed and pick us up here outside."
Gniel did not hide it and directly told him that he did not intend to bring the dragon in.
In fact, it is useless even if you want to take it, because the dragon is too big and it is not a snake, so it will definitely not be able to get in.
“!!”
"But!"
"If it doesn't go in, how can it fight against the monsters inside?"
"If you fight, you can only rely on Matthew and you. Without the dragon, you will be useless!"
Aimeda almost screamed again.
In her opinion, that dragon may be the most powerful barrier among the three of them. Without it, the three of them would probably not be able to do anything recently.
"so!"
"Or why don't we go back first and report it to the paladins on the floating island and ask them to send someone to see?"
Then, after pondering for a while, Aimeda, who was still a little scared, suggested this.
Originally, in her opinion, the best way was to go directly to Anne, but that guy didn't know where to go recently, and the aura around Queen Azshara was too terrible, so she could only settle for the second best and prepared to find the Paladins.
For example, the old Paladin lord named Tirio Fordine is easy to talk to and kind-hearted. If you know that there are monsters here to plunder the villagers, you will definitely be willing to help.
Although, the last time the other party borrowed Matthew's holy sword and observed it, he almost didn't remember to return it?
"no!"
"In that case, the benefits of credit and honor are all from others!"
"Besides, if we don't investigate clearly, what should we say when we go back?"
Hearing Aimeda's words, Gniel, who was standing by, hurriedly retorted, as if he was unwilling to go back in shame.
"this……"
Aimeda had nothing to say, and felt that it was a bit unpleasant to run back and hire reinforcements before the investigation was clear.
“!!”
"Then let's go in and have a look!"
"Gneil, and Aimeda, follow me, I have the Holy Sword, it is the nemesis of the monster. I think even if we can't beat it, we should have no problem quitting."
At this time, Matthew, who had not spoken on the side, finally mustered up the courage and decided to agree with Gniel's proposal.
Yesterday, in the Mislu Formation, the three of them had just eliminated a large number of monsters that attacked the town, with at least hundreds of them, and a considerable number of those monsters were destroyed by him with the holy sword.
Although a large part of it was the credit of Gniel's dragon, he had at least cut down hundreds of monsters and was supported and admired by the townspeople. Therefore, Matthew, who now has a little confidence, doesn't feel that he has taken the risk of going in and seeing what's wrong.
"That's right!"
"If we really can't beat it, we will retreat directly, then run out, and let my dragon come down to help. Those monsters will probably not even be able to come out of the hole at that time. What are we afraid of?"
Seeing Aimeda Seafood say something, Gniel hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
He did not think that there would be any danger to the three of them in a complete retreat. At that time, at most, it would be just a return on the same route, and it would be no big deal.
"this……"
"Oh well!"
Two votes to one vote, Aimeda has no choice.
"But we still have to be careful!"
"This time, we have to focus on investigation. Once we find that the demon clan is too strong, we will retreat immediately, and it is better to go back early to bring rescue soldiers!"
Then, she hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"good!"
"That's all!"
"Set off!"
Soon, when the three of them had decided on the plan, they quietly left the hiding place, hugged their waists, and carefully touched the dark cave.
...
Ten minutes later.
“!!”
"Horse, Matthew!"
"What should we do now?"
Looking at the dense black shadows around him, Aimeda asked in a low voice with a crying tremolo.
Obviously, this risky investigation by the three of them was not only not smooth, but could even be described as "extremely bad"!
Isn't this?
They are trapped now, surrounded by powerful monsters and demons, and their retreat has been blocked. What will happen to her, Matthew and Gneil next? That is not something she can imagine.
“…”
Matthew did not answer. He was covered with blood marks all over his body, looking extremely embarrassed, and he also needed to concentrate on guarding against those demons and monsters. Where could he have time to answer Aimeda's words?
"this……"
"It's over!"
Here, Gniel, who could not summon the dragon at all, looked pale.
Just now, they were obviously very smooth when they touched it all the way, and they thought the demons and monsters here were not very good, but they didn't think so...
Not long after, reality gave them a good lesson to the three guys who were determined to be brave and rescue innocent villagers from the hands of those monsters!
It turns out that the demons had actually discovered them a long time ago and set up a trap. Then, after they arrived at the depths of the cave, they suddenly attacked. They used a large number of dead knights, flame skeletons, evil spirits, gargoyles, and the dark guards of the demons to block the three of them in a dead end road deep in the cave.
"Tsk tsk!"
"Look at what I found?"
At this time, just when Matthew, Gniel and Aimeda were at a loss, a monster wearing brown armor and black cloak smiled grimly, appeared from a passage where the monsters made way out and walked step by step to the three of them.
"What's this?"
"Holy Sword!"
"oh!"
"And the Dark Wand?"
"Ah hahahaha!!!"
"Sure enough, is this the gift of the God of Chaos?"
Looking at Matthew holding a holy sword and Aimeda holding a dark wand, the visitor spread his hands and burst into laughter without restraint.
That’s right, the person who comes is the evil god’s agent, the ‘dark prince’ Pozanlu who caused chaos and disputes in the world!
In the past two days, he has been here to make trouble and constantly summon and gather those terrible monsters!
Moreover, he raided Kalsas a few days ago and grabbed the Witch of Light. After he obtained the magic sword, he also captured a large number of villagers and prepared to use the blood and fear of the innocent people to forcefully unseal the magic sword seal instead of the Dark Wand, and prepare to gather a large army to destroy the floating island and then rule the entire world!
Now, before he could figure out how to hold the ceremony that he was not very familiar with with the blood and fear of the thousands of villagers, the "dark wand" was actually sent to him by himself, and even with the holy sword...
If it weren't for the arrangement of the God of Chaos Caos and his gifts, he would probably not even believe it himself?
“…”
“…”
Seeing that the person coming seemed to be a leader of the demon clan, Matthew and Gniel subconsciously took the time to look at each other.
"Catch him!"
"Fight!!!"
Immediately afterwards, the two of them made a quick decision, first shouted together, and then they tacitly raised the holy sword and spear in their hands, and rushed towards the monster wearing brown armor and black cloak.
"snort!"
"madness!"
Unfortunately, before the two of them approached, Bozanlu just stretched out his hand. As the strange waves dispersed, Matthew, Gniel, and Aimeda, who were charging forward, suddenly shook. Then, as if they were struck by lightning, they quickly rolled their eyes and fell to the ground, and their deep souls were destroyed.
“Hmph…”
"The plan went unexpectedly..."
After instantly subduing the three small shrimps, Pozanlu stepped forward with a grin and took the crucial dark wand from the unconscious Aimeda.
certainly!
The handle in Matthew's hand is definitely indispensable, and I don't know why the holy sword that appeared here.
Chapter completed!
