Chapter 131. Unexpected
"Hey! Stop!"
A knight who was traveling at full speed suddenly reined in his horse, causing his mount to let out a long cry of pain.
"What's wrong? Buckshire." The three companions behind him also reined in their horses and stopped behind the knight named Buckshire. These knights were all a little tired, and the rapid march was still hard on their morale.
of influence.
"The front... there is the smell of blood." Buckshire explained to his companions that Buckshire's detective ability was very strong, and his companions all believed in his judgment.
So the knights all dismounted and checked their surroundings to avoid rushing into possible traps.
After a while, Buckshire shouted to his companions: "There is a corpse here. The corpse is still hot. The murderer must not have gone far after he died."
Walking into the forest, they found the bodies of the bandit father and son. There was still thick fog in the dense forest at this time. If it weren't for the fresh smell of blood in the air, it would be difficult for Buckshire, who was already in poor mental condition, to pay attention.
arrive.
Without any unnecessary words, Buckhill and a knight squatted down to carefully inspect the condition of the body, while the other two knights held weapons and remained alert.
"The methods of those who killed them were too sophisticated. Except for the fatal injury on the two corpses, the other bruises on the two corpses should have been caused by the fall themselves. There are too few clues to tell the origin of the murderer."
After checking the corpses, Buckhill couldn't help but shook his head. He couldn't find many clues from the two corpses.
"Let's go to the front and take a look. I saw the souls of those people calling us." The knight next to Buckshire with a short staff in his right hand suggested.
"What? Are there more than just these two people?"
"I saw their dead souls. Many people died here. The guys who killed them seem to have the ability to eat souls. These new dead souls are too weak." This knight, who is actually a priest, has psychic abilities. He
He could see the new-born souls still wandering around. But the condition of these souls was very bad. He could hardly tell which ones were fog and which ones were souls. They seemed to be dissipating soon.
Buckshire said: "Okay! Let's go to the front and take a look. The body has not yet stiffened. The murderer will not be gone for long."
So the four knights got on their horses together and followed the direction of the bloody smell.
Soon they found another corpse, but this time the knights did not stop to check because there were more corpses waiting for them ahead.
The four knights on the river bank reined in their horses and stopped in front of the pile of corpses. After dismounting, they continued to look through the corpses, hoping to get more useful information from these dead people.
"These people should be bandits nearby. They are not serious people anyway." A knight who looked very calm expressed his judgment, and his companions nodded in approval.
There is a big gap between the bandits' equipment and the army's standard weapons. Their weapons and protective gear are just ordinary equipment made in civilian blacksmith shops. They are poorly made and have no uniformity. Of course, these knights can see that.
Since it can't be the army or local armed forces, then there will be no one except gangsters traveling in groups in the middle of the night with weapons.
Buckshire pondered: "Did you try to rob someone, but in the end they were all killed?"
Originally, Buckshire and the other knights thought this was a bloodbath between two forces, but the wounds on these people's bodies all belonged to the same type of short weapons, and their death methods were also extremely uniform. They were obviously all caused by the same person.
After the strong knight holding a large shield looked at these corpses, he couldn't help but sigh: "This man is very strong."
"Well, Buckshire, do you think you can do it so cleanly?" the calm knight asked Buckshire. In fact, the strength of these four knights is about the same, and each has strengths and weaknesses, and this
Among the four, the one with the strongest attack ability is Bakhir. Moreover, Bakhir is a pure warrior and does not take other professions concurrently. The marks in front of him can only be caused by melee professions such as warriors. Naturally, here
It is Buckshire who has the most say.
"The captain should be able to do it, but I can't." Buckhill shook his head. This answer was something he had thought about carefully. He and the other three knights could deal with these bandits alone, but no one could do it so neatly.
.
Almost all the bandits were killed in one blow, and every attack was done without any delay, which can be said to be a decisive killing. But this man was using a small number to defeat a large number, so that nearly twenty people had no intention of resisting and allowed him to slaughter them.
It was not an easy task. But this man did it, and the bandits were killed without any resistance at all or with no time to resist.
In addition to the absolute suppression of strength, you also need to have a very strong ability to grasp the battlefield. Only by grasping the entire battlefield and always stepping on the rhythm of the battle under your feet can you quickly disintegrate the enemy's morale and all resistible forces.
Strength, forming a momentum that can break through a thousand.
"Are we going to chase the people who killed them?" The strong knight holding a shield asked the others, but no one gave a definite answer for a while.
Chasing this murderer is risky. Just by looking at the way these bandits died, we know that this murderer is very powerful. He is probably not inferior to the four of them. It is even possible that the four of them can't defeat him if they join forces. And the one who was killed
There is no need for them to take risks for these bandits. It can be said that the person who eliminated the bandits has made a great contribution to local security and should be given some rewards.
Just when Buckhill and the calm knight wanted to give up the pursuit, the priest knight suddenly spoke up and broke the calm.
"I think we should catch up and report this matter to Lord Steele."
"Why? Is it necessary to bother the Bishop with this matter?"
The other knights were very puzzled. They didn't think it was necessary to report this matter. Some bandits just died here. These knights didn't come here to investigate the case. They just patrolled the area according to the order to rule out possibilities.
It's just a danger to the home team.
"The one who killed them was not humans, but elves, and she was a female night elf." The priest knight said as he closed his eyes and continued to listen to the voices of the dead souls.
The calm knight asked him: "Is she an elf traveler? Or an elf ranger?"
It is indeed rare for elves to come to human territory, but all races are not inseparable from each other. Orcs who are hated by humans are legal to travel in human territory after receiving customs clearance documents. This is especially true for elves who have always been popular with humans.
.
Therefore, these well-informed knights do not think it is strange that elves appear here. It is normal for a few strong elves to wander around in some remote areas occasionally.
"None of them. How many killers of the night elves who belong to the Smiling Puppet and are armed with double blades do you know?" The priest had already got the answer from the dead souls. Although he was now in a state of denial, he believed in the others.
You can guess the answer quickly.
"Underworld Butterfly - Butterfried." The burly knight with a frown on his face was the first to give the answer.
The only night elf who meets the above characteristics is Butterfly Butterfly. This name makes these powerful knights look solemn.
"That's right, the one who killed them was Butterfly Butterfly." The priest knight nodded, confirming the answer of the strong knight.
Buckshire immediately asked: "How did she get here?"
"Who knows? Maybe she flew here with wings to feel the fragrance of flowers in the north... Anyway, we have to tell Bishop Steele about this." The priest knight shook his head, what these dead souls can tell him
It is also limited.
Mingdie is a dangerous person who is wanted by the Vatican. Many Templar knights have died in her hands. Of course, this priest knight does not dare to be careless.
The calm knight said: "But Bishop Steele and the others should have already arrived at the front, and he should not be able to take care of our affairs."
"No, do you know where this Magic Girl is going?"
The priest knight cast his sight in a direction, where several dead souls were standing. They stretched their thin, mist-like arms as much as they could to point the direction for these knights.
When asked by the priest knight, the three knights answered in unison:
Chapter completed!
