Demon Lord

Chapter 294 Fierce Battle Against Mother-in-Law (...

After night fell, the team of the "Holy Church" stopped in front of the inner city wall of Ersen.

Captain Spark obviously has a certain understanding of this city, knowing that Elson is not as simple as it seems, so throughout the day today, he led the team to carry out carpet searches in areas outside the inner city. , After confirming that there are no ambushes or traps around, I found an open space outside the gate of the inner city for camping, and prepared to enter the "inner city" tomorrow.

Cautiousness when performing missions outside saved Spark’s life many times, so after checking the surrounding buildings, he had to confirm the emergency evacuation route before he was relieved. After dinner, he simply sat in front of the campfire with The Arcanists stated the next task.

"The situation in the outer city is generally confirmed. There are no elemental fluctuations and no traps, but the inner city should be another matter. The information given to me by the 'Holy Church' said that most of Elson's core secrets are in the inner city, especially It's on the magic tower in the center of the inner city, so everyone must follow the team closely from tomorrow onwards, if there is an unexpected situation, retreat is the first choice, don't take risks at will, understand?"

Arcanists are not bloody soldiers, so their silence at this time already represents a response.

"The sentry at night requires three people to rotate together. There must be no mistakes. I--"

However, before Spark finished speaking, everyone's attention was diverted by the sudden voice next to him...

"There are people over there!"

Camilla was standing at the back of all the team members, but at this moment she raised her finger and pointed to a building not far away and sounded an alarm in a low voice.

Even if they knew that she had conflicts with Spark, the members of the "Holy Church" understood that this kind of place could not be a "joke"-everyone immediately became vigilant, ready to fight one by one, and immediately led by Spark Surrounding the house from front to back.

However, after searching for half a day like a formidable enemy, they discovered... not to mention human figures, not even ghosts in this house.

However, Camilla was not sure that she did see figures. Some of them passed by behind the window, and some even stopped at the end of a certain alley and looked towards her. The team members were suspicious and continued to search, but when Spark After being pointed and ran four times by her, she still didn't see any "living people" in Camilla's mouth.

Instead, they didn't even see a dead mouse.

Because of this, when Camilla said for the fifth time that she saw a figure appearing in the distance, Captain Spark said with a gloomy expression: "If you see something, go find it yourself."

There is nothing wrong with saying such things... After all, except for Camilla, no one else has seen the so-called "figure". As a result, the credibility of Camilla's words has dropped sharply. At this time, no one is willing to believe her words up.

But who would know that Camilla really saw these figures?

The words of the original rebuttal were swallowed back. Obviously, Camilla also understood that the things in front of her had a weird taste-there were 15 people in the whole team, why was she the only one who could see these shadows?

The closer she was to the inner city, the more clearly she could see some wandering figures in the surrounding buildings. Not only that, but her headache also intensified. However, the repeated searches made her feel deeply powerless.

It was late at night, and Spark's restless team finally rested, but Camilla looked around with her eyes open - because the murmur in her head kept her from falling asleep at all.

She is no longer willing to tell her companions that she can hear various voices, because now, if she goes to tell others what she saw or heard, I am afraid that she will only be completely regarded as a lunatic!

All of this is probably an illusion.

Camilla covered her cheeks in pain, trying to sleep, but stayed up all night.

The pain felt like years, and when the sun came up again, Camilla ate some food,

Just as he was about to keep up with the team, he saw Spark walking towards him and said flatly, "Because the inner city is more dangerous, after a brief discussion, we decided to let you stay here to take care of the security of the camp and the rear."

Camilla clenched her fists.

"If anyone wants to enter the inner city, you have to signal us and stop them. If we go well, we will return here after leaving the inner city."

"Okay, the explanation has been finished, let's move on. Camilla, remember your duty."

After speaking, Spark led the team towards the inner city without looking back. Camilla didn't even have room to refute.

She clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't know what she should do... Looking at the team that was gradually going away, she gritted her teeth, but a few minutes later, she let out a long sigh, and then sat powerlessly in the simple camp Inside.

"That's...that's fine."

The feeling of being directly abandoned as a lunatic made Camilla extremely angry and helpless—because in front of the "Holy Meeting", she will always be a weak person who is powerless to fight!

Camilla has long recognized the cruelty of this world: she has no choice in her life.

Rubbing the center of her brows vigorously, Camilla tried to relieve the increasingly severe headache. She thought for a while, then reached out and fumbled for a small bow in her pocket.

So far, perhaps only this bow that belongs to Naifei can relieve her bad mood a little.

"If I can't go back, at least the Holy Church won't think I'm apostate..."

As time passed, Camilla sat haggard in the cold wind, only feeling that her body temperature was also dissipating with the wind--there was no movement after the "Holy Congregation" team left, and she thought everything would be silent I went down, but I never expected that just an hour later, there was a sudden... sound of horseshoes from the street not far from me.

*****

"boom!"

When the explosion sounded, Rody, who was walking on the streets of Elson, instantly clenched the short bow in his hand.

"Ready for battle!"

The heavily armed knights on both sides immediately drew their swords to guard, and the mature followers raised their shields to form an formation, and under the leadership of Soderol, they were ready to meet the enemy with solemn eyes.

"Be careful of the enemies that may appear around you, Akasha, pay attention to protection!"

Rody shouted a few words behind him, and then jumped off the horse. A "bursting arrow" was already on the short bow, and he stepped up to the top floor of the high elf-style residence beside him——

For Rody, the most likely enemy to encounter in this city is Bellom's undead army. So he asked the scouts to carefully explore the way ahead, in order to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, and the sudden explosion at this time clearly indicated that there was contact with troops ahead!

"Nata followed me to see! Suo Deluoer, lead the team forward to keep up."

After Luo Di finished speaking, he accelerated and rushed forward. Nata's figure was a little weaker, and quickly followed Rody's pace. The two flew past countless buildings and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. .

The detection range of the scouts is not as far as in the plains. Rody asked for a distance of 300 meters, so it took only 30 seconds for Rody to arrive near the scene—and when he and Nata arrived here, But just in time to see a gray-robed mage attacking scouts with fireballs!

"Elementalist?"

Roddy thought he would see a necromancer, but he didn't expect to meet an elementalist here - the identity of the other party is obviously not an undead, although he is wearing a gray cloth robe and a hood, but his figure is obviously a slender woman.

This situation made Rody a little puzzled, but since the opponent attacked his subordinates, he had no room for peace talks. Turning his head and making a few gestures to Nata, Rody leaped towards the building next to him and disappeared into the shadows almost immediately.

Nata picked up the longbow to find the right time--different from the previous shortbow, the longbow given to her by Rody was extremely stable. Although it was not as easy to carry as the shortbow, the hit rate was improved by a notch, and the pull feeling was also improved. I don't know how many times softer than before.

The expensive "bursting arrows" are now the standard equipment for Rody and Nata. The specially weighted spiral feather arrows can maintain a very high accuracy at a distance of 100 meters. Nata followed Rody's teachings and found a After standing on a high-lying platform with three obstacles, you immediately draw your longbow and shoot an arrow!

The arrow speed of the longbow is slower than that of the short bow, but for unsuspecting targets, this kind of arrow that flies silently is even more difficult to guard against.

But the gray-robed mage's reaction was obviously beyond Nata's imagination: the opponent didn't use a shield or dodge in embarrassment, but directly rushed out from the side, dodging the arrow with an extremely vigorous posture.

"Snapped!"

The exploding arrow exploded on the ground, blasting a pit in the rocky ground, and the mage quickly rushed towards the nearby dwelling - the speed of the opponent was extremely fast, as if every step was assisted, After three steps, he rushed into the door...

But in the next second, Rody's bursting arrow shot straight into the room through the gap in the window.

"boom!"

The arrow didn't hit the opponent's body, but it managed to force her out with the explosion's blast.

But before Rody, who was standing on the roof, had time to shoot the second arrow, an inexplicable thrust came from behind in an instant, pushing him directly off the roof!

"I X..."

Rody cursed inwardly, but he didn't understand what skill the other party was using—the five-meter-high distance was not a problem for him, but after landing, he found that the other party was charging towards him!

There is a mage who dares to fight melee?

Rody was surprised, but he picked up the "Blood Drinker" and rushed over without any fear!

Camilla bit her lips tightly, her long messy hair covered her eyes due to the blast—there was a tear in the front of her chest, some blood seeped out, and most of the cloak behind her was blown to pieces. The tinnitus caused by the bursting arrows made her unable to hear the surrounding sounds...

For many years, this was the first time she was forced into such a situation by humans. As an Arcanist, such a record was enough to be ridiculed by others.

The behavior of Spark and others made Camilla have accumulated grievances in her heart. At this time, the appearance of Roddy, a strange guy, just made her the target of venting her grievances...
