Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The footprints of the Winter Goddess in the Southland were the first to fade away, and the Solar God seemed to be gradually taking back its authority here after a quarter of rest.  ¡Ì As the temperature warms up, thousands of little beings are stretching proudly, stretching their bodies after resting all winter.  They swing their green bodies and dance in the spring breeze.  Not far from Barrett and others, warblers with loud voices sang happily and flew among the blue sky and white clouds.  The animals that woke up from hibernation endured the burning gastrointestinal torture and couldn't wait to rush from their hiding places to the vast natural world, greedily plundering all the food that could fill their withered bellies: fresh leaves, green berries,  Fat insects, as well as vibrant hares and elk, form the basis of a stable pyramid of links in the food chain.  However, in the sight of the three people on their way, the predators at the middle and upper levels of the food chain did not appear.  They either haven't woken up from their sleep, waiting for their prey to become fatter.  Either it was well hidden and would not be easily discovered by Barrett looking down from the air.  There is only one broad road from Port Wilbos to the political center of Tutkel's Merchant Republic, and the remaining rugged paths are not suitable for Steward Brierley's current status.  So the route chosen by the delegation this time was fixed from the beginning.  This is one of the reasons why Steward Brierley and his party were so easily ambushed.  However, when Steward Brierley and other accompanying personnel from Boreham Territory left Wilbos Port, they were protected by regular troops from Tutkel Merchant Republic and three centurions were escorted to extremely high standards.  The strength cannot be underestimated.  So neither Knight Morpheus nor Captain Caplin thought anything would happen to them.  After all, the consequences of attacking the regular army in a country are very serious. Although the Tutkel Commercial Republic does not have enough high-end combat power, its grassroots officers and soldiers are not bad either.  It is not an easy task to eat three hundred-man regiments accompanied by military mages.  "It's just that no one expected that those guys who were supposed to be hiding underground would dare to openly attack the regular army.  What's more important is that no one thought before that the other party could really assemble the armed forces to attack and eliminate three centurions in Tutkel's Commercial Republic.  In addition, the mission itself also has certain self-defense capabilities.  When the situation is bad, you can escape through the cover of the regular army.  Such a situation where the entire army was wiped out really shocked everyone led by Bolum.  So this time they received an application for assistance from Tutkel Commercial Republic.  Just these three people rushed to the scene of the incident because they were worried that if they brought too many ordinary soldiers, they would only increase the losses out of thin air.  With three elites like them, it would be easier to break out if something goes wrong.  But those ordinary soldiers didn't have much chance.  Not to mention that the soldiers on the Bolum ship are from the navy. Even the 6th team members are actually mainly engaged in naval warfare. Their strength in field battles on the 6th ship will inevitably fluctuate to a certain extent.  After all, it makes people unable to let go.  The three of them flew along the cement board paved with stones, and the trees on both sides fell behind them one by one.  Looking over the speckled hills above, Barrett's eyes suddenly saw a dense crowd.  These people controlled their horses and surrounded an area on the road.  Such an obvious abnormality immediately attracted the attention of the three air units. When they directed all their attention in that direction, the area surrounded by the riders could be said to be a mess.  There were corpses lying one after another on the road and in the wilderness. The dark red blood soaked the land and turned it into a sticky 'jujube paste'.  Broken arms, stumps, and internal organs are all distasteful even from a distance.  Rags, scraps of skin, and metal rings were scattered irregularly among the corpses, making them difficult to identify due to the red and gray 'fuel'.  "The attack location should be right in front." Knight Morpheus waved his hand and began to lower his flying altitude.  Barrett and Master Murphy, who followed closely behind, naturally followed and flew to the ground.  As the flight altitude decreased, the riders on the ground also discovered these unknown people from the sky.  They immediately tightened their grip on the reins and began to assemble from the originally loose guard formation.  Before confirming the identity of the visitor, these riders began to concentrate their strength in order to prevent the conflict from being insufficiently capable of resistance.  As the distance got closer, Barrett quickly saw clearly the gold lion pattern on the chests of these cavalrymen's blouses with a brown background and red edges.  This is a representation of the Tutkel Commercial Republic. If the cavalry in front of them are not disguised, then they should be the cavalry regiment belonging to the Tutkel Commercial Republic.    These cavalry are a very important mobile force of Tutkel Merchant Republic.  Although its reputation in the Western Continent is far inferior to those of the veteran teams with great military exploits, it can still be considered a pretty good elite force.  After the news of the attack on the Bolum Mission came out, they were dispatched immediately, which is enough to show that the Tutkel Commercial Republic took this matter seriously.  After initially determining the identities of those on the ground, the three people who descended from the sky did not make any hostile moves.  However, Barrett still took a step forward and blocked Master Murphy behind him.  In order to prevent any accidents from happening, the spellcaster wearing light and flowing robes became the first target of the enemy's attack.  Of course, with Master Murphy's current strength, his protective spells are enough to deal with most situations.  If something can really hurt him, having Barrett in the middle is actually of little use.  However, some of these protective spells still have upper limits, and Barrett's presence should allow them to exist longer.  As the distance between the two parties gets closer and closer.  Unlike the Tutkel cavalry in front of them who tightened their scimitars and tensed up their nerves, the Bolum trio headed by Morpheus Knight behaved quite relaxedly.  Knight Morpheus, who was still walking at a safe distance, said: "We are the left-behind personnel from the Bolum Mission in Wilbos. We have been invited by the Tutkel Commercial Republic to participate in the attack on the mission.  Follow-up investigation." After hearing this, the face of someone in the center of the cavalry who was different from his colleagues became ugly.  With more decorations on his uniform, he should be the leader of this cavalry team.  This young man reluctantly jumped out of the team and said, "Please show your identification." Upon hearing this, Knight Morpheus immediately threw the prepared certification documents over.  Knight Morpheus is already familiar with such necessary procedures.  However, after confirming the authenticity of the certificate, the face of the cavalry captain in front of him was still very ugly.  Because this cavalry captain can be regarded as a great Tutkelist.  In his opinion, such a major violent incident in the country should be independently investigated by the Tutkel Commercial Republic, even if there are members of other regimes among the victims.  Those Bolum people should not interfere at will, they just need to wait quietly for the results of the investigation.  "It's a pity that the top leaders of the Tutkel Commercial Republic obviously had unacceptable ideas. They notified the remaining members of the Bolum Mission as soon as the incident occurred and invited them to participate in the investigation.  So after seeing the Bolum leader investigator in front of him, this guy cursed the civil officials responsible for decision-making in his heart.  But no matter how much this person curses the ¡®softheads¡¯ in his heart, no matter how he greets the female family members who are all civil servants.  He couldn't change what had become a fact.  However, when replying, he still did not give Barrett and others a good look: "I am Sergeant Sherlock, the leader of the Los Lions Cavalry Brigade. You can watch whatever you want! But please don't destroy the scene." The other party's perfunctory behavior counts.  Barrett immediately understood that the guy in front of him did not welcome the arrival of his party: "It seems that this operation will not go smoothly!"  ¡¯ At the same time, Master Murphy, who was at the end, also frowned because he didn¡¯t know the reason for Sergeant Sherlock¡¯s bad attitude.  If it's because you feel your rights have been violated, it's not a big deal.  But if the other party is the group of people in Tutkel's Commercial Republic who cooperate with the Bolum Order, the trouble will be big.  Fortunately, Tutkel's Commercial Republic is, after all, a civilian country where civil society dominates military affairs, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he cannot stop the decision that has been passed by the Government Affairs Office.  Because the soldiers under him knew who they were serving, they would not support Sergeant Sherlock when the decisions of both sides conflicted.  After entering the bloody attack scene, Knight Morpheus picked up an armor piece: "This tearing method does not seem to be a metal weapon such as a sword. It should be the teeth of some kind of beast." "This is it.  The cut is very smooth, and the weapon is not only very sharp, but also used by a good hand." Barrett on the other end carelessly touched the section of a smelly leather armor with his fingers.  And between them, Master Murphy held two scrolls tightly in his hands, seeming to be wary of dangerous elements that might be lurking nearby.  In fact, there was a reason why Barrett, who was supposed to protect him, participated in the inspection because the most suitable place to ambush potential lurkers was the pile of corpses in front of him.  It would be a more appropriate choice to let Master Murphy keep a relatively safe distance.  Immediately afterwards, Knight Morpheus discovered a new clue: "The carbonized body is not uniform, but the remaining muscles also have quite severe spasms. It seems that this should be lightning."effect instead of the common flames on the battlefield.  " "This kind of crack should be a special shock wave.  It looked like it had been attacked by a sonic spell.  "Barrett also quickly found some useful information from the split shoulder of a corpse. As the two continued to investigate, they found that the conditions of the deceased here were really strange. In addition to common sword and energy injuries  In addition to the claws of beasts, some soldiers were directly hit to death, some suffered cardiac arrest, and some were pulled to both sides by huge forces. Brierley was in charge of the carriage they were riding in.  , at this time, I also knew that the fragments of the suspected wreckage were smoky and had obviously gone through many tests before being dismembered. However, neither Barrett nor Knight Morpheus found Brierley.  The steward¡¯s body was found by Yitzhak, who was somewhat familiar with Barrett. ¡°A cardiac arrest of this magnitude should be the ¡®Banshee¡¯s Wail¡¯.  After confirming that there was no threat in the pile of corpses, Master Murphy finally came on the scene in person: "Although the environment was a bit messy during the battle, I will not make a mistake in judging such an obvious situation."  The only thing that needs to be considered is whether this is an arcane effect or the banshee's natural ability.  "The 'Banshee's Wail' of the ninth level of the necromantic system imitates the special ability of the undead creature of the same name. However, with the continuous strengthening of the caster, it can surpass the innate ability of that special group. If it is the latter, although it is true  It will also be very troublesome, after all, the group that can control the banshee will be very difficult to deal with, but if it is the former, it is really a head-scratcher. Any 9th-level spell caster in the Western Continent cannot be underestimated.  Even if they don¡¯t have the miracles of the elves¡¯ advanced spells, their spells combined with the knowledge and experience they have accumulated over the years are definitely not difficult to deal with.  If the other party specializes in the necromancy system, it would be easier for the three of us to deal with it.  But if it is a generalist mage, it will be troublesome.  "Knight Morpheus also frowned now. "Although the necromancy system has many frightening instant death spells, most of the time those spells can only be used to deal with creatures that are not tenacious. Such as Barrett and  The probability of Morpheus Knight being immune to the 'Finger of Death' is definitely not low, not to mention the restraint of the four-ring divine spell 'Anti-Death Barrier', and the famous control box debu spell of the necromantic system is very useful for Barrett.  The effect is also not obvious for Knight Morpheus. Knight Morpheus's self-purification ability is enough to get rid of that kind of spell in a short time, while Barrett can use the "power of iron heart" to counter it in a targeted manner.  If you are a generalist mage, the opponent's various abilities will be a headache. Although mages of the Necromancy School are not unable to choose other spells to fight against the enemy, they usually give priority to preparing the spells of their own specialized school.  It's relatively easy to deal with.
