Chapter 417 Counterattack

On the ridge of Chuilong Ridge, Lightning found a leeward spot and skillfully set up a tent that could accommodate four people.

The blazing bonfire drove away the cold. Nightingale rolled up his trousers, revealing his blood-stained calf. The spot where he was hit by the Holy Messenger was swollen. She didn't feel anything when she gritted her teeth and ran, but now that she was relaxed, she felt that it was extremely difficult to move her legs. If Maisie hadn't arrived in time, she really didn't know how far she could have run with the Marquise.

It is extremely dangerous to walk through the fog when you have limited mobility. Those changing lines are both steps and sharp blades. If not handled properly, they can easily cut yourself into pieces.

"Let me help you."

Maisie rummaged through a large backpack and found a pile of first aid supplies. In addition to cotton cloth and small bottles of alcohol, there were also herbal medicines processed from leaves. The latter was the main medical method in the mutual aid association.

When the pungent-smelling alcohol was poured on the wound, even Nightingale couldn't help but let out a muffled sound and pressed her brows together tightly. If His Highness hadn't said that this thing could effectively kill tiny creatures and prevent wounds from being eroded by evil plagues, she would have felt that this was no different from being tortured.

Fortunately, the coolness brought by the herbs quickly dissipated the burning pain. After bandaging the wound, she suddenly felt much more comfortable all over.

"Your back..." the Marquise asked in a low voice, "is it okay?"

"What's wrong with your back?" Lightning entered the tent with a bundle of firewood.

"She was shot by those people's crossbows while trying to save me," Speer's voice sounded a little low.

"It's nothing serious. It's just like being punched a few times." Nightingale pouted, "At most, I won't be able to lie down and sleep tonight."

"It would be better to apply some herbal medicine," Lightning fiddled with the branches in the fire pit, splashing sparks. "The medicine on the leaves can not only stop bleeding, but is also very effective on bruises."

"Lie on me, Gu," Maisie sat down and patted her thigh, "I'll give you the medicine, Gu!"

Looking at the serious look in the white-haired girl's eyes, Nightingale couldn't resist, so she finally nodded, "Okay."

After taking off her clothes, she covered her chest and lay on Maisie's lap, then heard the Marquise take a breath.

She knew without looking that her originally smooth back was definitely red, swollen, and bruised, but it just looked scary. She thought disapprovingly that such scars were nothing to a witch with strong self-healing ability. It will dissipate in two or three days.

While the medicine was being applied, Nightingale coughed twice and said: "What are your plans next, Lord Marquis? Your brother Redwin was instigated by the church and turned his back on you. Before that, neither he nor the church, They don't even know you are a witch." She briefly recounted the news she heard in the tower, "They should be heading for your position as lord. Even if you are not a witch, you will still be attracted by them. It is not difficult for the church to be executed as a servant of the devil."

"They actually dared to openly murder a marquis," Speer gritted his teeth, "I will make Redwin and the church pay the price!"

"What the church has done is far beyond your imagination," Nightingale shook her head, "Even if they are kings, they will not blink before taking action. Yongdong and Wolfheart are the best examples."

Speyer was suffocated, and after a moment he said: "Does the church really intend to annex the four kingdoms? I have only heard this statement from some businessmen from neighboring countries, but most of the nobles in the royal capital think this is just nonsense. Talk."

"The nobles of the royal capital also say that Roland Wimbledon is a traitor to the king," she shrugged, "If your highness guesses correctly, that is only the first step of the church's plan, but I can't tell you the conspiracy behind it for the time being. , unless you join the Witch Union. In addition, the church’s planning of this coup is definitely not a matter of a day or two. Most of your subordinates should have turned to Redwin who betrayed more interests. If you want to take back Dragonfall Ridge, you also You can ask His Highness for help.”

"He...will really help me?"

"Of course, it is our bounden duty to eradicate the church." Nightingale chuckled.

The Marquise fell silent, seeming to be hesitating.

"Don't worry," Nightingale knew the hesitation in her heart. This was also a problem that most witches would worry about before heading to Border Town. "If you want to leave the West, you can leave at any time. His Highness never forces anyone to do so."

"He really... realized the coexistence of witches and ordinary people?"

This is the second time Nightingale has heard the other party ask about this matter, and every time she answers this question, she always feels a burst of pride in her heart, "Yes, your highness's territory is such a place. It is the holy mountain of witches." "

Speer Passi's face looked uncertain under the firelight. After a long time, she nodded slightly and said, "Shall we leave tomorrow?"

"Not yet," Nightingale and Lightning said in unison. Then the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"The church will definitely try to report this news to the Holy City. In the next two days, we must intercept the carrier pigeons released by the enemy," she explained to the countess. "After that, Maisie will send you back to Border Town, and I will also There are other tasks that need to be completed. "

In the room at the top of the tower, she remembered that the Holy Envoy had said that when the matters here were dealt with, they would soon leave for Chishui City.

Obviously, every time she arrives in a city, she will set off an undercurrent. No matter how great the impact is, it will always cause trouble to His Highness. Moreover, this person has also seen his own attack method. If she can be intercepted, the church's layout will definitely suffer setbacks, and a lot of information may be obtained from her.

Nightingale took a deep breath and decided to intercept the church's messenger team. However, she was not sure whether His Highness Roland would agree to her plan. If he asked her to go back, she did not intend to go her own way.

…

Three days later, Maisie, who had seen off the Marquise, returned to Falling Dragon Ridge again, this time with two more witches from Sleeping Island behind her.

"Why are you here?" Nightingale looked at the two of them in surprise.

"His Royal Highness Roland asked us to assist you," Andrea gracefully jumped off the back of the giant beast, took off her hood, and shook her blond hair, "The reward is two pieces of ice cream bread."

"How can I be left out of the purge of the church?" Ashes raised the corner of his mouth.

"His Highness said you can do it, but you must pay attention to safety." Maisie returned to human form, "He said he is waiting for you to return in the castle."

"Really..." Nightingale suddenly felt her heart heat up, "I understand."

"So how many people are there on the other side?" Hui Jin raised his eyebrows, "I heard there is also a witch?"

"It's not clear yet, but at most there are more than twenty Judgment Warriors, as well as corresponding attendants and believers," she said word by word. "Others don't matter, but I must deal with that witch."
