The Devil’s Cage Chapter 16: Assault

Beside Syka City, dense forest.

The thick snow covered the hard frozen ground, which is comparable to the frozen ground of steel. It seems to be covered with first floor armor. The pine needles in the jungle are more like a sharp dagger, any Anyone who ventures through them will be cut.

Every year there is such a bad luck in the patrol team.

Because of such bad luck, each patrol will have a rapid growth period.

Carl was an unlucky egg.

The first time he joined the patrol, he rejected the proposal of the captain wearing a thick linen cloak at that time, insisting that he should wear armor, and then... he was not protected by the armor, and the pine needles were bloodied.

As for the place protected by armor?

It’s not too bad.

Long-term exercise and a lot of sweat not only make him feel uncomfortable, but also freeze his skin and lining completely at night. Carl will never forget, the captain and his teammates boiled water to solve their own It looks like, after that time, he was sick after a week of wind and cold before he recovered.

Next, he once again rejected his mother's proposal to join the army as a staff officer, and returned to the patrol again.

One year stays.

It's boring and dangerous.

But also very happy.

There is no intrigue, and there is no knife hidden in the smile. Everyone is teammates and brothers who give each other their backs.

Thinking back then, Carl would raise the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

However, it was only at this time that he recovered, I am already a skeleton, where is the corner of my mouth.

Suddenly, Carl opened the mandible.

He wants to cry out loud.

Unfortunately, he is a skeleton and he can’t even cry.

Yes, it's just Soul Fire's beating.

Syka City can't go back.

You can’t go to places with more people.

Will the wilderness be my home?

Mother, father, uncle can never meet again!

Once I see it, I am afraid it will be the target of beheaded?

When I think of the days to come, Carl's mood becomes somber.

He never thought he would fall back like this.

But there is no more resentment.

After all, he is more fortunate than his real colleagues, is he?

"Fenis, do you remember where the captain and everyone were buried?"

Carl asked towards the mount.

"Remember, on the side of Great Sparrow Ridge."

Fenis said immediately.

"Where to take me."

Carl habitually touched the back of Fenis, even if it turned into a dry bone, it was still generous.

"Okay!"

Fenis nodded and immediately changed from walking forward to sprinting.

When it is still a normal horse, Fenis, which has been nourished by various magical item, has spirituality, robustness, and speed that other war horses do not have. After becoming a skeleton horse, Fenis has a qualitative change in all aspects, at least In the feeling of Carl, the speed of Fenis is more than doubled.

Before the morning, you can see the captain.

Captain refers to the that person captain encountered when Carl first joined the patrol.

This captain has extraordinary meaning for Carl.

It can even be said that Carl has been transformed from a more diligent aristocratic teenager into a leader of a true warrior, and the relationship between the two is even more intimate.

If it is not during a patrol, there are unexpected enemies, the captain in order to save them, I am afraid this time has become a pivotal figure of the Syka City military.

Of course, there are his teammates.

He survived the crisis alone.

His teammates learned to be his captain in general, and died again and again and again, in order to give his youngest and least sensible young brother a chance to survive.

He was hated, angry, and guilty.

Hate yourself useless.

Angry your incompetence.

Guilty...

The captain and teammates did not know his identity from beginning to end. When he joined the patrol, he made a concealment, only vaguely saying that he was a broken noble, but did not say his true identity.

Then, there is no chance to speak again.

Even if he begged his uncle to send elite cavalry to eliminate the bandit completely, how could his captain and teammates be resurrected?

According to the agreement made during the chat at the time.

He buried everyone on the Great Sparrow Ridge side.

Because, in the summer, it is very beautiful, it is a must-select place every time you camp.

And every season, he goes to worship.

The last time, two months ago, before the weather had cooled down completely, he brought everyone's favorite spirits, sausages, bacon and potato cakes.

Maybe, I should stay with the captain and everyone.

Anyway, I look like the captain and everyone.

Sitting on the back of Fenis, Carl thought crankily.

And when Fenis stopped, Great Sparrow Ridge was almost there.

The Great Sparrow Ridge in winter is not as beautiful as in summer. The thick snow covers everything. In summer, when the wind blows here, the entire grass field will sway.

Now?

Every step takes a lot of effort.

This is a path that Carl has deliberately opened up. If Great Sparrow Ridge comes from a place where there is no road, it is completely impossible in the winter.

Crunch, crunch.

The boots come into contact with the snow, and every time they are pulled out or dropped, they will make a unique noise.

Apart from the wind, there was no noise.

Soon, Constitution became different from Carl and saw the captain and everyone’s cemetery in a more relaxed manner.

The cemetery is halfway up the hill, polished with stone qualitative.

Not large, only nine tombs. The placement of each tomb is according to their position on each patrol.

The captain is in front, the vice captain is the best, the middle is the Bow/Crossbow hand, and the pikemen are on both sides, and he was one of the pikemen.

Squeak!

Pushing open the frozen stone door, Carl entered the cemetery.

He started cleaning here as always.

Every time he comes here, in order not to damage the bones of the captain and everyone, he will not only clean up the surrounding animals, but also sprinkle some urine from tigers around.

However, this time is different, he did not bring enough sacrifices.

I’m not cleaning animals.

Winter’s Syka Domain, there are almost no animals.

As for tiger's urine?

No more.

He will stay here in the future.

After all, this is his team.

There is a captain, deputy captain, and everyone.

He can speak freely here, and he can express his dissatisfaction with his uncle's real affairs unscrupulously. At home, he can't speak.

Neither his mother nor the father who died early is allowed.

"So tired, captain."

"Every time I am here, I am the easiest."

"Fortunately, I left a space for myself. When the spring flowers bloom, I will find some stones and build a tomb for myself... Well, shouldn't the skeleton eat?"

"It is also very good to think about it."

Carl sat cross-legged on the open space just swept out and said slowly to the front tombstone.

Although it’s winter, Carl, who can’t feel the temperature change, seems to have returned to the summer wilderness. Everyone raised a bonfire here, laughed and yelled and sang and danced after drinking too much.

The sense of warmth is faintly permeated in the soul of Carl.

In an instant, the restlessness of heart and the whispers in his ears all disappeared.

Carl relaxes everything.

And at this moment--

"Kill!"

The Carl woke up with a loud drink.

The Soul Fire in the eyes jumped quickly, and Carl suppressed the rising anger.

This is a place for the captain and everyone to sleep, and they should avoid the killing.

Carl told himself like this.

Looking at the place where the shouting came.

That's on the other side of Great Sparrow Ridge.

"I will go back as soon as I go."

Roared with his companion in the tomb, Carl turned his horse.

It was Great Sparrow Ridge steep, but Fenis was still on the ground. After several breaths, Carl stood at the highest point of Great Sparrow Ridge and saw what happened at the foot of the mountain on this side.

The two teams are killing.

A large number of people, a small number of people.

But the side with the largest number is an absolute disadvantage, because this team is not only old and weak women and children, but also with a lot of wounded. Obviously, the battle has already happened.

The other side, although sparse in number, is extremely capable.

The entire team consists of only 30 people, but it is forbidden. The outstanding coordination is undoubtedly a battle-hardened battle. If it is not the former with a large number of people and they are not afraid of death, I am afraid they will have been killed.

"Which new bandit is this?"

Carl is puzzled.

In Syka Domain, Carl knows most of the robbers, and every robber he knows will not survive until the next quarter, and every time he will kill him.

For robbers, Carl does not have any favors.

Not only because of his duties, but also because his captain and his teammates all died in the hands of robbers.

Therefore, for robbers, Carl is abhorrent.

Subconsciously, Carl is ready to draw a sword and charge and kill the bandit.

But then, Carl hesitated.

His respect now is not suitable for meeting people.

More importantly, Great Sparrow Ridge is the captain’s and everyone’s cemetery. He’s weird here, even if he rescues others, it will be thoroughly searched afterwards.

He is too clear, his uncle's style.

Captain and everyone’s cemetery will be kept.

But he will lose his last home.

Just...

Did you just watch these people killed by bandits?

Soul Fire in the eye socket was beating rapidly, Carl's emotions became unstable, the calm heart was just now, restless again, and the whisper in the ear appeared again.

At this time, the party with a large number of people at the foot of the mountain also reached a precarious position.

Although Hove prepared as much as possible when starting from Syka City, he miscalculated the number and determination of believers. Almost all villages decided to follow him.

And this not only slowed down the team's speed, it was also targeted by the ugly bandits.

The road from Syka City to the border Morsa has always been uneven, even if that person Viscount Your Excellency spends considerable energy every year to clear the bandits.

The bandits are growing like weeds.

Even, sometimes, many people can't discern carefully.

Because, most of the time, they are refugees.

But when you turned around, they turned into robbers.

In order to quickly return to Syka City, Hove as the leader of this team has had to let believers give up certain property and food. .

But!

The bandit didn't pay attention to it at all, still chasing them tightly.

Obviously, the purpose of these bandits is not property and food at all, but... themselves?

"Is the enemy of my Lord?"

"Are you still skeptical?"

This kind of thought is constantly tumbling in the mind of youngster.

Although there is no accurate answer, this does not prevent him from slashing the enemy who rushed to the front with a sword.

The blade torn the opponent's neck, and his head was rising to the sky.

Although helmet conceals the other person's face, the other party's shouting before death is full of unwillingness.

Hove sneered.

Although he doesn’t like brains, he is stronger than Sergey than Sword Art. Not to mention, under the attention of Your Highness, he will be unmatched.

The corpse that lost its head fell to the ground as the horse took several steps.

There is no need to say more about Hove. The followers who followed quickly moved the horse back to the team and began to pull out the leather armor and dagger on the body.

The enemies who wanted to stop were shot back by the arrows of the rest of the believers.

The believers lack swords, armor, and horses, but as mountain people, each of them is an excellent hunter. Bow Technique is very outstanding. If it is not for the family and the number of arrows is limited, it is enough to make these attacker understand What is called death.

Similarly, attackers have also discovered this.

They are no longer eager to achieve success, but they are revolving around this team, just like a pack of wolves staring at their prey.

Patience, they are not lacking.

Confidence is full.

They believe that it is they who will ultimately win.

And the believers of ‘God of Mist’ are staring closely at these guys, who are responsible for vigilance, for treating the wounded, for the wounded, and the whole team is running in full swing.

Many of them fell on their knees and prayed in a low voice.

"Supreme Lord!"

"Please listen to my prayers, I will pursue your will, humble your greatness, and hold your name, will shine in the world, all ours are given by you..."

One whispered, and nobody heard it.

However, when everyone whispers and the words are the same.

Even a deep voice will be different.

The believers bathed in the sound of prayer are more determined.

The attacker who heard the prayers were disdainful.

‘God of Mist’?

Of course they know!

In fact, the other party is their real goal!

However, the opponent is shot by the that person adults, and they?

It is responsible for cutting off these stubborn believers!

"God?"

"A guy who walked bullshit luck, also known as God?"

The leader of attacker sneered.

Hove clenched the hilt suddenly, and the few youngsters who had met Superior Evil Spirit around were subconsciously rushing to kill each other, but were stopped by Hove.

"He wants to anger us."

"Don’t fell into trap!"

Even if I want to mince each other, Hove still reminds my companions.

After hearing Hove, the leader on the opposite side laughed outright.

"Angry you?"

"You guys are too worthy of yourself!"

"Like your so-called god!"

"If it is really God, then I despise him now, I am full of evil intent for him, I even speak evil, what can he do?"

"Is there any penalty for Lower God?"

"Tell you, this is impossible!"

The unscrupulous voice echoed at the foot of the mountain. The leader of attacker said more and more excited. He looked at the expressions of the False God believers and knew how long these guys could not carry them. When he rushed up, he was left to slaughter, so he was ready to continue.

But ~IndoMTL.com~ the words have not been exported.

He heard a whimper from behind him.

Some sobs like Hound.

But the sound is too low and thick, but it looks like a tiger.

However, how could a tiger appear here?

Behind him is his subordinate.

Formed a subordinate like a copper wall and an iron wall.

Even if there is a tiger, it is impossible to let it rush in silently.

But the leader turned his head subconsciously, preparing to observe with the afterglow of his eyes.

Then...

He saw a big mouth of blood basin

Ah!
