Chapter 308 Ambush (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
Rhett shook his head and said, "Neither, because in a while, I have something to give you, maybe you will be interested."
"Half a month is a bit long..." Hepast frowned, then relaxed after a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, half a month is half a month, then I will just deduct it from the time I refine the potion for you, don't blame me if it is delayed in the future."
Rhett's mouth corners raised: "Thank you, Lord Hepast!"
Five days later.
Rhett and Locke galloped, and they stopped again in the evening. At this time, the blue sky disappeared in the shadows, and the stars set off the gradually brightening moon.
They had just passed through a muddy wetland, leaving long mud spots behind them, but under the control of Rhett's mental power, any abnormal earth elements returned to their original state.
"Wait, Rhett, I feel something unusual ahead!"
Locke was the first to stop. He closed his eyes, frowned, but his nose was slightly twitching. The endless wind between heaven and earth passed by him, bringing traces left by all things.
Leiter looked at Locke. He knew that the wind-type sky knights could capture more information based on the flow of wind. This was why the scouts were almost all wind-type knights—they moved quickly and were good at detecting intelligence.
Half a minute later, Locke opened his eyes, his face a little serious, and said:
"Ten kilometers away, about half an hour ago, a small-scale battle took place, with about four hundred people."
Leiter asked hurriedly: "Can you confirm who it is? Is there any breath of orcs among them?"
"The distance is a bit far, and it is impossible to determine who the target is, but it is certain that there are no orcs!" Locke's face became a little ugly when he said this.
"No orcs?!" Rhett's face suddenly became horrified, and he pretended to be doubtful and said: "If there are no orcs, who are those soldiers fighting? The place ahead is the place where Ledros and I agreed. Those soldiers are the elite of the Sixth Legion... Do you think it is possible that the orcs of the Holy Land are the ones who are killed..."
"That's impossible!" Locke took a deep breath and comforted: "According to the concentration of blood and the breadth of the scattered aftertaste, the battle lasted for a long time, at least half an hour. So, it is impossible for the Holy Land to take action, otherwise, the Holy Land would have resolved the battle within a few minutes."
Rhett nodded and said: "That's right, let's go to the scene and take a look."
There was a lingering doubt in Locke's eyes, and he was also curious about who the enemy was? It couldn't be a traitor inside...
With an uneasy thought, Locke rushed to the front. He was faster than Rhett and arrived at the battlefield first.
Taking the scene in front of him into his eyes, a trace of horror exploded in Locke's eyes. There were broken arms and corpses everywhere on the ground. Hundreds of elite knights of the Sixth Legion fell in a pool of blood. Most importantly, many people's bodies had their internal organs or brains dug out. Although the blood around was thick, Locke, who had experienced hundreds of battles, observed with keenness that the blood did not match the normal number of hundreds of people.
"Dead, all dead!" Locke muttered to himself, and his breathing became heavy.
Suddenly, his eyes swept across a huge sword buried among the corpses. This was the sword used by Ledros. He had seen it before and remembered it very clearly!
Locke was brewing in an indescribable grief in his heart. He walked forward with difficulty, taking every step very carefully, and not stepping on the corpse of a soldier.
Not long after, when Rhett arrived, he just saw Locke sitting on the ground in front of him weakly. The deep darkness enveloped the battlefield, making him look so lonely.
Then, he noticed the incomplete corpse and the broken armor next to Locke. The familiar outline shocked him and he looked around in horror.
Looking at the soldiers who lost their internal organs and heads, Leiter was shocked and sad. He knew in his heart that it must be the work of the Blood God Cult leader's men! But what he never expected was that nothing happened in the last simulation, and this time, Ledros was only delayed for a while during the journey, and he suffered.
Locke saw Leiter approaching with a sad face, and forced a smile: "Leite, I know your legion commander died in the battle, and you feel very bad. I can understand it very well..."
"How long ago did this battle happen..."
Leite's voice was cold, interrupting Locke's comfort. He looked at the body of Ledros, feeling angry and scared, but also a little relieved...
Locke looked at Rhett with a complicated expression, sighed, but still gave his own analysis: "Based on the stiffness of the body and the breath of the wind, the war should have broken out five hours ago."
After saying this, Locke stood up and pointed to the southwest: "I can feel that they are going in that direction. It is difficult to completely erase so much blood. The wind has told me the answer. If we catch up now, we may have a chance to avenge Ledros!"
"No need, I will save this tragedy..."
Rhett shook his head and looked up at the starry sky that began to shine. In Locke's confused eyes, he whispered:
"Let's end it..."
The voice fell.
A wave of ripples spread rapidly, and the surrounding scenes changed rapidly.
The bloody battlefield around disappeared in an instant, the stars and the moon retreated, the cold wind whistled, and the sun shone on every inch of Rhett's back. The slightly rising temperature made Rhett know that this is the real world.
[The real simulation is over, please choose an attribute you want to keep. 】
【1.Physique】
【2. Fighting Qi】
【3. Mental Power】
"three."
After silently making his choice, Leiter watched the light curtain in front of him disappear and scanned the surrounding scene. He was at the checkpoint of the cold current defense line.
That's right, the tragedy just now happened in a simulation.
In Leiter's view, realistic plans inherently involve certain risks. After leaving the temporary stronghold of the Sixth Army, Leiter took this into consideration, and in order to avoid accidents with Ledros and his soldiers who were marching in advance, and to avoid being noticed when handling the corpses of the pale knights later, Leiter planned to first The operation was rehearsed in a real simulation.
"Now it seems...this idea is so right..."
Leiter muttered silently, while speeding up his pace, racing against time to get to the camp.
To be on the safe side, he did not forget to activate [Real Simulation] again. After all, his action had not been successful yet and he still needed an additional insurance policy.
Entering the cold current camp, he met Hypaster. After a while of greetings, Leiter quickly stated his request and received his approval.
But this time, he had a flash of inspiration and said again:
"Master Hypaste Tower, I have one last request. Later... can you quickly bring me to the vicinity of Red Ridge Slope? I have other tasks to perform and I am in a hurry, so I need your help. ”
Hypast said in surprise: "Red Ridge Slope? Isn't that a place only more than a thousand kilometers away from the cold current defense line? For you, you can get there in one day, right?"
"One day on the battlefield is enough to do a lot of things." Leiter smiled bitterly.
Hypast shook his head and said: "Okay... I really can't do anything to you, just stand still where you are..."
Leiter followed the instructions and remained motionless. The next moment, he felt the infinite water element approaching him, and the cold breath filled the air, as if ice crystals were about to condense and wrap around him.
He spoke hurriedly:
"Wait a moment, I have another comrade..."
The movements in Hypast's hand stopped, and the turbulent water element instantly faded away like a tide, and the surrounding area immediately returned to its original state. The corners of his mouth twitched and he said in a deep voice:
"I'll give you one last chance to make all your demands in one breath..."
Leiter smiled coquettishly: "No more, that's all."
Hepaste:.
Setting the location in Redridge Mountain was Leit's intention. Let Hypaster bring them here, which can save half a day's effort, thus ensuring that there is enough time to prevent Ledras' team from being poisoned. .
At this moment, Leiter looked at the red ridges around him and was in a good mood. After the ice around his body melted, he said to Hypast:
"Master Hepaste Tower, I will remember this kindness!"
Hypast shook his head and smiled, "Then kill more orcs to repay, and I will go back first. By the way, remember our agreement, if I don't see you in ten days, I will leave directly."
"Please rest assured that you will definitely keep your appointment!"
After Leiter finished speaking, Hepaste nodded, and then his body dispersed into little mist and disappeared into the air.
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, his eyes were full of wonder. Is this the method of the Holy Domain? It is really magical!
At this time, Locke came over, looked at Leiter with a different look, and said: "Leiter, I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with the master of Hypaaster Tower that you are willing to send us here in person. But having said that, Why don't you let him take us directly to our destination instead of here?"
Leiter said casually: "What's the difference between sending it directly to the destination and directly helping us complete this mission? This is against the rules."
"That's right. Let's get on the road quickly. Maybe we will arrive at the rendezvous point earlier than Ledros and the others!"
"Well, time is running out and we must race against time!"
Four days later.
The two stopped and Leiter took off his earth armor and got off Locke's back.
This time it was Leiter who shouted stop. He recognized the surrounding terrain. In the last simulation, the battle took place here. The distribution of earth elements on the ground, the shape of rocks, and the types of plants and trees are all exactly the same!
Locke looked around and whispered: "Is this the meeting point? It seems that we arrived before them..."
As he finished speaking, his nose twitched slightly, and he subconsciously sniffed the scent in the wind.
The next moment, there was a flash of astonishment in his eyes, and he deliberately acted casually, stretched his waist, and gently moved his fingers on the top of his head.
"Leiter, I'm really tired after running all this way..."
The ordinary words came into his ears. When Leiter caught the movement of Locke's hand with his peripheral vision, his heart suddenly jumped. That seemingly natural gesture was actually the code word they had set in advance - there were enemies ambushing around!
Lei Te was alert in his heart, but looked as normal on the outside, and said casually: "Are you tired? How about we find a place to rest first. There are rocks around. You pick one that suits your eyes, and we can go sit there..."
"The rock in front that looks like a mouse is pretty good."
Following the direction of Locke's finger, Leiter saw two dark-colored stones wrapped in a cluster of black plants. They were indeed not very conspicuous.
But this simple exchange already let him know that the three pale knights not only arrived early, but were also hiding there.
Leiter's heart was filled with murderous intent, although he didn't know whether he and Locke could deal with the three pale knights. But this is a simulation, he has nothing to fear and can give it a try!
So he walked forward slowly, his mental power was highly concentrated and spread out, and he cast a magic spell at the bottom of the dark rock - Quicksand!
Whoosh whoosh
The quicksand formation covering hundreds of meters was formed quickly, but faster than the quicksand, three ghostly figures suddenly jumped out from the ground.
They were divided into three directions: upper, upper right, and upper left, forming a triangle to surround Rhett and Locke.
"So fast!"
Locke's face suddenly changed when he saw this speed. Although this speed was not as fast as when he used the extreme speed, it was definitely better than any wind knight he had seen without using the mystery.
"Which legion are you from, and why are you here?"
Locke realized that the visitor was not friendly, but he still wanted to know the identities of these three people first.
The three men were pale, but they were all wearing red light armor, their eyes were filled with madness and murderous intent, one of them said hoarsely: "The dead don't need to know so much..."
"Humph, you are talking nonsense, I am not interested in the identity of the dead!" Locke narrowed his eyes slightly and responded unwillingly. The rapier in his hand burst into a green glow, and he said quickly: "Rhett, help me limit the opponent's speed, we will focus on one first!"
"Okay!"
As soon as the word "Okay" came out of his mouth, Rhett had already cast the second magic - the Earth Dragon Technique!
The earth was shaking wildly, and the earth elements gathered towards his feet. Rhett stood in place, but his position kept rising. The huge earth dragon quickly condensed and appeared at Rhett's feet, and Rhett stood high on the back of the earth dragon, looking down at the three people on the ground.
"Locke, be careful, I feel that these three people are a bit weird..." Rhett warned cautiously.
"Hmm!" Locke's eyes also revealed a trace of solemnity. He also felt that the fluctuations of the fighting spirit of these three people were indescribably strange, and they were different from all the knights he had met in the past.
"Hummingbird Sting!"
Locke jumped into the air with a tip of his toes, and then the chaotic wind fighting spirit erupted around his body. The whole person shuttled like a hummingbird, but it was erratic.
A pale knight with scars all over his face, facing this sword that was too fast to see clearly, the muscles of his body wrapped in armor bulged, and blood-colored airflow was emitted through countless pores. This airflow was pulled and condensed on a small round shield in his hand, and the entire shield surface suddenly became evil.
