Advent of the Archmage Chapter 238: It’s extraordinary (1/4)
It's not early, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky starts to darken, because of the dense trees, the dark forest is even darker, like night.
Several sounds of '窣 窣 窣', four black eyes with red shimmers appear in a forested clearing. On the clearing, there is an ash pile. In the ashes, four scorched bodies are lying down. .
A deep whistle sounded from the howling wind.
"It is the body of a warrior."
"The human **** doesn't have such strong power in three places. Who killed them?"
"They didn't hide their whereabouts at all, you see, this is their footprint, we know who they are after we catch up. Heinor, Fenville, you and I go after them. Aran, you go boneless Jagger, report this to the chief! "
"Understand!"
The figure split into two waves. One of them hurried toward the deep Black Forest, while the other chased out along the very obvious trace in the woods.
After about three minutes, when the black shadow completely disappears, a voice sounds again in the darkness.
"Master Mulhouse, they're really fooled!" The voice was low and repressed with joy.
Following, several dim figures came out from behind a grass, and it was Link's group.
After killing the first wave of ghosts who came to support, instead of rushing to leave, they ambushed nearby, waiting for the second wave of ghosts.
As for the footprints found by the dark ghosts, Linker left them intentionally. This is similar to that of the dark elf magician Lord Delkins. He and the scouts circled a large circle in the Black Forest. Back to where it was. After the dark ghosts chased all the way, they will find that they will eventually return to their original place.
As for the ghost who returned to Bonecastle, it was exactly the way for Link and his party.
Linke looked at the direction of the lonely ghost, and narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well, now we have a responsible guide."
He did this just to bet his luck. As for whether the ghosts will do this, he is not sure, but fortunately, these ghosts have not got the brains, everything is as he expected.
Speaking, he blessed a cheetah swift to each scout.
"Let's go! Hope we are lucky enough to meet the prisoner of the dawn sword on the road."
So, a group of people began to run wild in the forest, and soon, a group of 7 people disappeared into the depths of the Black Forest.
..........
When Link and his followers followed the ghosts deep into the Black Forest, another team of scouts arranged by Link to bring them back to the Dark Ghost also successfully reached the Ice Spike Fortress.
"Open the door, we brought back the dark ghost captives!" The scout shouted outside the wall.
Dark? Still captive?
The guards on the city walls are all frightened. All the news they have received is how terrible the ghost is and how invincible they are. All they see are scouts and soldiers who are fleeing wildly by the ghosts. , Have you ever heard of someone defeating a ghost? And they caught the other alive.
Among them ... will there be no scams?
The captain of the guard stood at the arrowhead, stretched his neck, and squinted down to see a dozen scouts. Looking at their equipment, they were indeed members of MI3. Some of them were still familiar. Face, a few hours ago, he watched the other person leave the fortress with his own eyes, this should not be the spy of the dark elf.
"Where are the ghosts? Let me take a closer look!" The captain of the guard suspected that the scouts were secretly controlled by the ghosts.
The scout raises the Underworld slave, who is almost tied into a mule, so that the captain of the guard can see it.
The captain of the guard leaned down and looked at it carefully, and each of the soldiers looked down curiously with their heads together.
In fact, the appearance of dark ghosts is not much different from ordinary dark elves. The only obvious feature on them is their hands. The hands of ordinary dark elves are similar to humans. They are nails, and their hands are long. All are claws.
Because the captain of the defensive guard could not see clearly, the scouts also deliberately raised the hand of the ghost.
After several hours of recovery, these ghosts have recovered a little vitality, are struggling slightly, and have a low roar in their mouths.
"Did you see? This guy's heart is gone. It was broken by the magic of a magician, but these ghosts are still alive."
The captain of the guard did see it clearly. At the same time he was amazed, the doubts in his heart had disappeared, and he ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered. At the same time, he whispered to a soldier next to him: "Go and report this to the generals , It means that a scout has caught the ghost. "
Anyway, this is a great thing.
When the suspension bridge was laid down, and the scouts entered the fortress with three ghosts, a large circle of soldiers had gathered around them, and they heard the ghosts and ghosts all day long, but what did these things look like, but few people I ’ve seen them all come together at this time, let ’s understand.
The captain of the guard also came, but he didn't go to see the dark ghosts, but the dark elves with claws. What's strange. He cares about more important things.
He pulled a scout, and whispered, "Aren't you searching for the sword of dawn? How come back? Your Royal Highness? Why didn't I see her?"
In this case, the most likely thing is that these scouts encountered dark ghosts in the middle and defeated each other after a while of slaughter. But at the same time, there must have been many scouts sacrificed. Her Royal Highness has disappeared now, which only means that she has Battle dead!
The princess is the only daughter of the Duke. If she died in battle, the problem would be a little bigger.
The questioned scout shook his head: "His Royal Highness is fine. She and Lord Mulhouse are continuing to search and rescue Lord Kanosh."
"Master Mulhouse? Who is this?" a soldier asked next.
"A magician! A very powerful magician!" A scout heard and turned to say, his face was full of admiration.
"Get out, get out, Lord Duke is here!" shouted a soldier in front.
As soon as he heard this, the soldiers stepped back and let aside.
In fact, it wasn't just the Duke, but the generals, lieutenants, resident magicians, etc. in the fortresses. Anyway, the officers who had the identity came over.
For the soldiers, the ghosts are just a horrible existence. When they capture the ghosts, they will look fresh. But for the upper ranks of the army, this represents extremely significant significance!
The Duke of Abel squeezed through the crowd, glanced at the so-called dark ghost, and immediately searched in the scouting team. He was looking for his daughter.
But he was disappointed in the result. There was no figure of his daughter in the crowd. This discovery made him tremble violently, and an indescribable sorrow hit him.
His daughter, the one who is a little rebellious and a little stubborn, but occasionally spoils his sweetheart, so just leave?
Duke Abel's eyes became hot for a while, and he could not even breathe, and his head was dizzy. If it was not for the lieutenant's eyes, he would almost help him, and he would almost fall.
He was settled. After ten seconds or so, he barely stabilized his emotions, and said hoarsely to the scout: "Very good, you are doing well, now go to rest."
He didn't want to inquire about the specific battle process of these scouts anymore. He was afraid to hear the death of his daughter in his own ears, fearing that he could not control, and cried in front of the soldiers.
The scouts fully understood the commander ’s mood, and one of them came up and said, "Master Duke, Her Royal Highness is safe and sound. She is with Lord Mulhouse, and they are rushing deep into the Black Forest to continue searching for Lord Kanosh. "
"Ah? What did you say?" Duke Abel was unbelievable.
"His Royal Highness is still alive, she is still continuing her search and rescue mission, and we were ordered to return these dark ghosts," the scout repeated.
The Duke of Abel breathed a long breath, only to feel that the sullen breath in his chest suddenly dissipated, and the whole world brightened. He laughed loudly, "Okay, good, this is really good news. You have made a huge contribution. Now, talk to me about the specific battle process. I want to know, how did you defeat these ghosts? "
Still this scout, he began to talk about the search and rescue team's experience in the Black Forest. From the encounter with the dark ghost, until a magician unexpectedly appeared, he easily reversed the situation and finally arrived at the magician's arrangement. The details are very detailed, especially when it comes to that magician, the scouts around are interjecting to add details.
"He is very powerful. With such a wand, the ghost's chest exploded!"
"He has a way to suppress the undead of the ghost. Look, this is the silver liquid. He calls this the Holy Silver."
"He calls himself Mulhouse, and the person I most admire in my life is him. I think everything he said is right."
"Yeah, yeah, I feel I'm willing to die for him!"
A group of scouts babbled, the scene was a bit chaotic, but the Duke of Abel didn't stop them. In these words, he put together a detailed story in his mind.
A young magician suddenly appeared when the search and rescue team was in despair, and instantly killed three powerful desperate ghosts. This sounded like a legend.
But this is true, so it means that there must be a very powerful magician going north to the Black Forest, but who is this magician? Why didn't he know about this?
The Duke of Abel turned to look at the magician Mark around him and asked him with his eyes.
Magic Mark whispered, "Sir, let's talk privately."
The Duke of Abel nodded slightly, then turned to the scout and said, "You are all hard, go to rest, and then you will all be rewarded. Come, send these dark ghosts to the temple and give them to the priests. . "
Several soldiers stepped forward and ran to the temple with these ghosts, and the scouts were also satisfied to rest on their feet. Along the way, they kept telling the story in the forest. The protagonist of this story is the one named Mulhouse's magician.
The Duke of Abel and the officers returned to the command hall. When they arrived in the hall, the two kept on until they reached the second-floor secret room.
The Duke Abel rebuked, "Can you tell me the identity of this magician now?"
Mark smiled bitterly: "Sir, this is not intentional, and the other party has just arrived, and I have only known it soon."
"I don't know soon? Is it at least three hours? Why didn't you report to me during this time?" The Duke of Abel relented. He was really angry. He was also the commander of Wang ****. Such a strong man, he didn't even know that this was really outrageous.
Mark knew it couldn't be concealed, and whispered: "It's not my intention. This is what my mentor meant. He hopes that fewer people will know his identity the better, because he didn't come to the battle, but Is here to perform a secret mission ... "
Duke Abel waved and interrupted Mark's concubine: "Well, who is he?"
"The new lord of the Field Wilderness." Mark said one of Link's identities.
The eyes of the Duke of Abel were widened for a moment, and he said for a long time, "I didn't expect him to come."
In a shot, I defeated three horrible dark ghosts who possessed the 6th-level peak power and also possessed an undead body. The hand of slaughtering monsters was truly extraordinary.
He was also relieved. Since his daughter went with him to rescue the Dawn Excalibur, there should be no problem in terms of safety.
But this is still not safe.
Thinking about it, the Duke of Abel said: "The young man has a bright future, he can't be damaged in the Black Forest, and we can't stand by. In this way, after the defense line is contracted, our side is pressed all over. Ready to launch a full attack! "
Mark was startled: "Sir, isn't this reckless? The threat of the ghost is still not released."
The Duke Abel laughed: "It's just a battle to attract the attention of the dark elves. What are you afraid of?"
Mark is an honest man with a wry smile: "What you said is that I just wanted to be bad." (To be continued.)
