The Devil’s Cage Chapter 22: Division. Stationed
Woo, woo, woo!
In the three consecutive rapid horns, the complex and bloated convoy immediately panicked, and the civilians and rich businessmen in the convoy looked behind him in horror.
Unique/only Fortunately, the cavaliers passing by on both sides of the team quickly suppressed this confusion.
People quickly turned the convoy into simple fortifications under the command of the knights. The woman and her child knelt down on the ground and prayed to the gods they believed in.
And the men took up their weapons and acted as the last dam.
The prayers quickly spread to the entire team.
The panic disappeared quickly.
The rest is calm and expectation.
People believe that their gods will not abandon them.
It's like taking them out of Naviya City initially.
This time, they will not be disappointed!
Faith is such a wonderful thing.
It always hides something that can be seen but is unwilling to believe, but not everyone can rely on faith to "survive".
At least Atelina is not.
Since she was able to plan the theft of ‘Thorns Holy Grail’ for the Priest position, this lady’s belief is conceivable.
She looked sadly towards the rear of the team.
The knights accompanying the temples have already gone to meet the enemy, but she has no sense of joy.
Because, she is well aware that this is only a sign.
A harbinger of monsters catching up with the convoy and launching endless attacks.
Even, she could imagine the entire team being nibbled step by step.
"Alin, are you okay?"
"Did you think of...he again?"
"Come on, he will be fine."
Lilith looked at his friend worriedly.
The expression of Atelina obviously makes the Priest of Love Temple have a certain misunderstanding. In the face of such misunderstanding, Atelina did not explain.
After all, this is what she should be doing now.
Without the support of the man, what she can grasp Unique/only is the remains left by the man. Doing this will at least make her better in the days to come. Know that the other party can only take the initiative One of the people fighting against'Devourer'.
Moreover, it is the strongest one.
The sword that seems to cut the sky, even if I think about it now, is enough to shock everyone.
If you don’t have that sword, the outcome of that battle will probably be reversed.
They?
Don’t say it was escaped.
Death will become a gift.
Unfortunately...
A man who can cut out such a sword is dead.
Atelina still doesn’t understand the other party’s choice.
"Anyone who has a chance to leave."
"But it is going to fight."
"Sure enough, are the men a fool when they **** up?"
Atelina whispered to himself.
"Ryan Your Excellency is not a fool."
"Yes..."
"Hero!"
Lilith heard such a soft whisper, she emphasized.
However, the voice is soft.
She doesn't want to sprinkle salt on her friend's wound.
Atelina looked at Lilith and shook her head. For the girl she could make friends with, she knew some aspects of the other party’s simplicity, otherwise she would not become a disciple of Love Temple High Priest, but it was doomed to tell her that The truth of the matter.
But even if I said...
I'm afraid no one believes it?
Atelina said that the people around them looked at her with respect.
Not from her own.
It's because of the man.
"The monster has been repelled!"
"The monster has been repelled!"
The cheers swept away the dignity of the team.
Atelina and Lilith were relieved, but immediately, Atelina looked dull.
She saw many injured knights.
More than she guessed.
More than this is killed in battle.
Without any hesitation, Atelina picked up the medicine chest already prepared and walked towards the injured knights.
Haze with that man does not mean everything is fine.
Some things, she still needs to work hard.
And Lilith is much simpler.
This Love Temple Priest only hopes that no more people will die.
The post-war work was organized in an orderly manner, and the meeting on the carriage continued again.
"The enemy is strong."
"Only the talent of Cavaliers Rank can cause damage to them."
High Priest of War Temple is the first one to open.
He looked at Thorn Temple, Hunter Temple High Priest.
The topic seems a little bit biased.
But there is an implicit caveat: parting ways in front of such an enemy is definitely not the best option.
"oracle cannot be violated."
High Priest Shen channel of Hunter Temple.
"The fate of fate is like thorns, but we need... to cut through the thorns!"
"I believe Lady Wennessa will not be wrong!"
Edson also insists.
Faith is deeply ingrained!
Choice is inevitable!
"May you all... be safe."
The High Priest of Harvest Temple stood up and said to everyone present.
"May it be safe."
After looking at each other, they said goodbye.
As both an old friend and a blessing.
Because, they each understand heart very well, after this time, it will be difficult to meet.
Edson sighed and walked off the carriage.
The older new High Priest adjusted his mind and called all the people who belonged to Thorn Temple.
"We are going to the north."
"Go tell Lady Wennessa believers that they will suffer another Test of Destiny."
Edson whispered.
"Other people do not walk with us?"
Atelina was surprised.
"Except for Love Temple and Music Temple who are with us, the remaining people..."
"All have their own directions."
"This is not something we can stop."
“It’s as if they didn’t stop us—if you want to say goodbye, please hurry up, our time is running out.”
Edson said this.
Looking at the crowd of people who were worried and distracted, the old Priest couldn't help but sigh again.
He regrets it very much now.
If he insisted once again, he chose to stay and let Ryan lead this team, I am afraid the situation will be many times better?
At least, the morale of those around you will not be so low.
Neither worry about being chased by monsters.
The strength of Ryan is enough to make those monsters daunting!
And he?
Not as good as an ordinary knight.
Without the support of Lady Wennessa, what can he do?
The chaotic thoughts of heart make this old Priest more melancholy.
And this kind of melancholy could not be expressed. When the whole team was divided into three, he looked at the smallest team among his three teams and couldn't help but take a breath.
"North!"
"All the way north!"
"Set off!"
No more words to encourage.
No one who can join this team needs such encouragement.
Although it is a little less than expected, Edson has no mood to pursue those who temporarily changed their faith.
All he has to do is take responsibility for the people behind him.
Sitting on the carriage, Edson spread out a cowhide map, which was given to him by Lady of Thorn when he left Naviya.
The location of the hidden temple is drawn above.
And the danger of experience | meeting with along the way.
"Aya Outpost, Yute Plain, Smack Hill, Weiss Valley, Linya Mountains."
As Edson's finger moved, he pronounced the place names marked by Lady of Thorn and needed attention, and then shouted to the outside.
"Alin?"
"What's wrong, Master High Priest?"
Atelina got on the carriage.
"How many people can we directly participate in the battle now?"
Edson asked.
"Including the people who accompanied us, after the previous battle, no more than 300 people."
"Love, Music Temple I have not counted."
Atelina replied.
With the deeds of ‘Hero’ Ryan, Atelina, which already has a certain position in Thorn Temple, has even more soared in this team.
Simply put, except for High Priest Edson, Atelina has become the second in the Thorn Temple team.
And for Atelina, ‘Hero’, Ryan’s ‘lover’, Edson also believes abnormally.
So, without any cover, he put the cowhide map in front of Atelina.
"This is?"
Atelina froze for a while, and then reacted, her face changed with each other, and when she read the whole map, her face became more dignified.
"Aya Outpost, which is the closest to us, can become our temporary camp."
"But Yute Plain..."
Speaking of which, Atelina looked at Edson.
Since leaving Aya Outpost and entering Yute Plain, it has officially left the scope of Naviya City. Compared with the "completeness" of Naviya City, Yute Plain not only has dozens of lords, but also has a smooth, extremely long and normal caravan To pass this zone, it takes about four weeks without any accidents, and at the speed of their team, it takes at least five to six weeks.
For such a long time, enough monsters behind them will eat up their entire convoy.
And if you want to get enough time, you need to build a line of defense in Aya Outpost to block the pace of the monster.
Or more precisely, to delay the pace of monsters with their bodies, fill their appetite, and fight for more time for the evacuated troops.
A more succinct meaning is... abandoned child.
This is obvious, as more and more monsters gather.
The loss of Aya Outpost is inevitable.
If you lose your way, what is the result? Atelina and Edson are very clear.
So, who will be this abandoned child?
"Alin, do you have any ideas?"
Edson asked.
The age is long enough to allow Edson to have enough life experience, but even more life experience is helpless to the current situation.
Who left is who killed.
As Edson holding a ‘butcher’, he had a hard time deciding.
So, he hopes to hear more opinions.
However, the next scene surprised Edson.
"I stay!"
Atelina said firmly.
"Alin, don't get me wrong."
"I found you to discuss, not..."
"I know!"
"But are there more suitable people besides me?"
"Stay here is a life of nine deaths, there is no one suitable for identity, it is impossible to convince the crowd, even with the glory of Lady Wennessa!"
"And besides you, this team is me."
"But you need to lead the entire team to Northland."
"So, I am the most suitable person."
Atelina interrupted Edson's words, and she said straightly.
Edson watched Atelina not speak for a long time.
Finally, the old man sighed again.
"Is it because...Ryan?"
Edson asked softly.
Atelina was shocked and did not speak, but the sadness on his face could not be concealed.
"Ryan and you..."
"I respect your choice."
Edson wants to comfort Atelina, but after the words are spoken, he finds nothing to say.
Between life and death.
Any description is an understatement.
Like the former Slotto High Priest and Barry priests died in battle, Ryan and he inherited the positions of High Priest and priests respectively.
Next, Ryan chose to stay, and the position of High Priest was inherited by his priest.
Yes...
The burden is too heavy.
Pressed him out of breath.
Even when he thought of Ryan and Atelina as lover, he felt his heart hurt.
Atelina left the carriage.
Edson kneels on one knee in an empty carriage.
He prayed for these ‘lovers’.
"The road covered with thorns is your test."
"Painful body. Brings noble soul."
"When you show up, everything will be turned into fate."
"May the song of the thorn bird never stop."
The thorn bird only sings once in his life.
When it died.
Since leaving the nest, he has been continually searching for thorn trees.
When it got what it wanted, it plunged its petite body into a longest and sharpest thorn, and sang with blood and tears-the poignant and beautiful song made the voice of the world instantly Embarrassed!
After the song is over, the thorn bird finally dies in anger and sings with himself.
Edson how hopeful this outcome will change.
At least~IndoMTL.com~at least,
At least...
Don’t be so lonely.
With certain ideas in mind, Edson started to pick up the quill pen and wrote what was in the carriage.
And outside the carriage, a little hesitation appeared in Atelina's eyes.
She would never do such a thing after breaking someone.
What she wants is to use the entire team as bait in exchange for a first-line life.
There is nothing wrong with this!
She told herself like this.
But guilt rose involuntarily.
And, as Aya Outpost gets closer and closer, such guilt grows stronger.
When the entire team entered Aya Outpost for rest, when the people of the team turned to her with respectful eyes, guilt almost overwhelmed her.
"Sister Alin... Thank you."
"I finally know why Ryan chose you."
Before Dawn, Lilith found Atelina a moment before the team took a break after midnight.
The Love Temple female Priest handed over the ‘protection talisman’ weaved overnight to Atelina, and sent the most sincere wishes.
Here, the ‘protection talisman’ Atelina woven with tri-color satin subconsciously wanted to say something, but before the words were spoken, he swallowed it back.
I just want to live.
Sorry.
heart with such apologies, Atelina watched the team leave. When the team almost disappeared, the female Priest of Thorn Temple turned to look in the direction of Naviya City.
She seemed to say goodbye to the past.
But!
Next moment!
She just stared at both eyes!
A black line appeared on the horizon!
A black line made entirely of dark monsters!
Like the waves in the sea, rushing towards her Aya Outpost!
