Compared to the bustle on the other side, the guards who didn't know they would bump into Woody and his group were a little bored. They wandered in the forest, destroying the trees they passed by.
There was a crash.
Another branch reached the middle of the road, and it was more than three meters high. With the fresh leaves on it, it fell heavily to the dirt, making a rustling sound.
The instigator was squinting at his masterpiece at this time, but when he thought of someone, he felt that bragging about it seemed a bit childish, so he could only suppress his inner joy and try his best to speak in a normal tone.
"Do you think we will run into those rats?"
"Of course not." Someone agreed.
"We have slowed down our pace as much as possible to let them notice our whereabouts, so that they can go to the location of Master Ton. Then we will just watch from the side."
"Actually, I'm not afraid even if they come! I can deal with a group of mortals with just one hand!"
As he spoke, the divine guard waved the giant white rock sword in his hand with one hand. The sound of a cold, heavy object breaking through the air was like a strong wind rising in the forest, and the sound was astonishing.
"So powerful, Kado, your swordsmanship has improved again! It's almost as good as your brother!"
"I'll surpass him soon!"
Cardo's expression was full of laziness and arrogance, but when he mentioned that brother, he still showed a hint of coldness. However, when he thought about the opportunities brought by this operation, he couldn't help but secretly thought.
"This is an opportunity. If those rats come in our direction, then as the divine guard who catches them, I will definitely be rewarded by the high priest, and my strength may rise to a higher level."
"Maybe I can enter the inner hall like him in the future."
Cardo thought of this, as if the beautiful life in the future was just around the corner, so all the coldness in his expression was removed, so much so that when he looked at his current boss, Captain Fast, who led them out to chase the outsiders this time, he was filled with emotion.
With an overlooking look, Anyan said with a particularly solemn emphasis.
"Boss, don't worry. When I enter the inner palace in the future, I will definitely not forget you."
Cardo's thoughts are always so divergent. Although Captain Fast has long been accustomed to this subordinate's extended thinking, in this situation, seeing that he still has no formality, he still can't help but scold him.
"Cado, do what you should do now. The high priest is already very angry. If we encounter you later and let them go because you are lazy, and you will be whipped, I will not intercede for you.
Your brother won’t be able to help you then!”
"It's better to meet him. Besides, I don't want his help! If he wants to help, it's only right for me to help him!"
"Obviously he was born half an hour later than me, and he acts as an older brother in front of me every day. It is obvious that I am half an hour older than him."
Cardo kept complaining in his heart, but of course he couldn't say this out loud. First of all, his strength was indeed not as powerful as that of his nominal brother. To force correction in the eyes of others would probably be seen as a sign of pride.
On the contrary, it will attract more ridicule.
What he wants to do now is to catch up with him one day, defeat him severely in front of everyone, and then at that time, he will publicly announce that the so-called brother is a lie, and that he is the real brother
, it will be his turn to protect him in the future, not this situation now.
So when he thought about walking in the temple in the future, when others pointed out that he was Kado, and that person was called Kado's younger brother, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
At this time, the priest behind the team suddenly said.
"Lord Ton said that the scouts did not detect their presence and that they did not run in that direction. He asked us to be careful."
"What?"
Everyone else looked surprised, but Kaduo looked happy, no, the opportunity has come!
"Everyone, please be vigilant! If you find any movement, you must report it in time. Don't go it alone just to make meritorious deeds."
Although Cardo couldn't see Captain Fast's expression, he still felt that someone's eyes were locked on him. Obviously, the following sentence was directed at him, and Cardo had no choice but to give it up.
This thought, after all, he suddenly remembered that as a temple warrior, it was still unknown whether he could defeat them. The enemies this time were not as harmless as the monsters simulated by the temple, but real intruders.
After seeing that Cardo did not turn his attention to him, Fast knew that his beating had worked, so he did not deliberately attack him with words. Instead, he solemnly introduced the seriousness of this matter to everyone.
"We must keep these outsiders here. Before we figure things out, we will never allow anyone to escape under our noses. Now we are not as lazy as in the past, and we can deal with patrols in a muddle."
Mission, what we are about to face is a life and death crisis, if you still care about your own lives, then put away your little thoughts, do you understand?"
Fast's solemn words still aroused the vigilance of some people, and some people even lowered their heads in shame. After all, the second half of his words had a certain meaning and was also aimed at them.
It wasn't until no one dared to look him in the eyes that Fast's tone softened. He tapped the temple's emblem on his breastplate with his fist, and the tense facial muscles turned soft, and he whispered softly.
"Don't worry, the great father of all living beings will remember our sacrifice, and Balukkarya will be with us. After this mission is over, I will truthfully tell the high priest your achievements."
After hearing what the captain said, everyone cheered up. The originally rather lazy team suddenly looked a bit elite. After all, they were able to be absorbed into the demiplane kingdom of forests created by Baruchalya by the high priest of Quetzalcoatl.
, their own physical fitness is stronger than most of the titled knights in the Golden Valley, not to mention that they have never slacked off in martial arts practice while serving Barukalya over the years, and they have long been comparable to senior warriors of almost seven professional levels from the outside world.
.
Just when Fast gave the order for everyone to carry out a blanket search, the priest who delivered the order to Ton walked up behind him and said with approval.
“Nice speech.”
"Thank you for your compliment."
Fast understood his position and knew that he seemed to be the captain of this team, but the real person in charge was the priest in front of him. The same was true for other teams. There were no surprises. The only one who had any surprises was probably
It's probably the team led by Cardo's so-called brother, but he himself is also a devout God-blesser and can release divine magic. However, compared to divine magic, his brother prefers to use the weapons in his hands to deal with opponents, and
Not a gem-encrusted staff or a gold-plated scepter.
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
Fast's supplementary answer obviously satisfied the pastor. He nodded approvingly and then began to explain.
"Be careful later. We don't seek merit, only no mistakes. Although I can't reveal it, I still want to give you a message. Change is about to begin."
After saying that, the priest gave Fast a look of understanding and began to add BUFF to the surrounding divine guards.
The meeting between the two parties naturally took place in an unfair manner. When they found fresh human footprints in the dense forest, they had already gone around and entered the trap set by Woody and others.
middle.
In fact, Woody didn't get here much faster than them, it only took three minutes, and a mage can do a lot in three minutes.
In the Thousand Towers Society, or the multiverse, mages have a clear unit of measurement, which is six seconds per round. Most magic can be cast in one round without the magician's special expertise or weapon gain.
Therefore, if it is in the hands of an ordinary graduated mage, giving him three minutes is enough to pour out all his spell slots.
As for Cecil, a high-level mage with extremely fast spell casting ability, these three minutes can only be said to have finished everything. She even had time to pour herself a cup of beautiful black tea in the dimensional ring space.
Feel the bitterness and sweetness of the tea swirling on your tongue.
For Cecil, it was wonderful, but for Fast and the others, it was like they were in hell.
They even remembered that not long ago, when the sky gradually became brighter and the positive energy singularity was stabilized again, everyone was still aggressively searching for traces of outsiders. But not long after, an explosion sounded in the forest space.
, everything has changed.
The quiet and peaceful forest began to become full of murderous intent, the so-called peace became a bubble, and the dead tree trunks were regarded by them as tree spirits who could choose people to die.
"Damn! Has the notice arrived?"
Seeing the flames rising continuously in the forest, thick smoke obscuring all their sight, and teammates falling one by one, Fast finally couldn't help but ask the priest behind him who was trying to use a barrier to maintain his safety.
"I have told Lord Ton! They have already set off towards our location."
The priest's face was a little ugly at this time. He didn't know that there was a powerful professional among this group of people who had a higher caster level than him. But what was even more uncomfortable was that they didn't even see half of them, and the team just
Most of them had been damaged and killed, and the original situation of bullying the few was instantly reversed, with Woody and Cecil chasing after them.
The flame had been extinguished at some point. The priest was not surprised by this. After all, this was Quetzalcoatl's territory. Her instinct would be to resist anything that might affect the entire plane. She didn't want to leave here and enter the Wanderer's territory.
Heaven-Star Realm.
But the thick smoke was still lingering, making it impossible to see clearly the scene several meters away, but this was enough for the priest.
Casting spells does not require vision, and they emphasize precision.
What's more, the cover of thick smoke can prevent most people from noticing his presence. This is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and vice versa.
And through the remaining red light that had not been extinguished, the priest also saw outsiders standing in the forest. They were wearing inconspicuous clothes. Their ages were also very different. Some were elderly people in their sixties.
There are also girls in robes who appear to be underage. If the traps in the scene just now were not so horrifying, the priest would even feel that these people are ordinary ordinary people in the outside world and have nothing to do with powerful intruders.
It doesn't have much to do with it, after all, it looks weaker than him, but it is worth mentioning that for some reason, the black-haired male's golden twins attracted his attention, and they were used to sacrifice to the great Baruchal
Ya couldn't be more suitable.
Although this was the first meeting between the two parties, the pastor was extremely jealous when they met. After all, he was particularly keen and discovered another familiar figure.
"Riya! I didn't expect it to be you! You were the one who let them in!"
In the area where the firelight and shadow shrouded the Lord, Ruiya's face flickered, but he would never forget that after all, this woman had rejected him many times, even though he repeatedly guaranteed that Quetzalcoatl would not send down divine punishment.
She punished them, but her attitude towards him was still lukewarm, but she didn't expect that she would be with this group of intruders at this moment. This was something the pastor didn't expect.
Faced with the pastor's question, Ruiya just pursed her lips slightly and did not take a step back. Instead, she stepped forward and said.
"What I did was not wrong. It was you who were wrong. Stop it! Don't make any more mistakes! As long as you repent with your heart, Balukaya will forgive you, the lost lambs."
She was not referring to the priest alone, but to all the temple guards present.
When the other temple guards saw a familiar face standing opposite, they were slightly startled. After hearing their words, they all felt guilty. After all, the atmosphere of the temple is no longer as good as when Ruiya first came here.
Some things that were originally prohibited have already appeared openly in various places in the temple, and almost everyone has committed crimes that they did not dare to commit before.
"What nonsense!"
retorted the priest loudly.
"It's not up to you to decide whether we are guilty or not. The high priest didn't say anything. Instead, it was you who colluded with outsiders and entered the temple without authorization. Come and arrest her! We'll wait until we have something to say inside the temple. I hope you will speak up by then.
It can still be as hard as it is now."
His eyes were sinister, and while he was speaking, magical spells were appearing in this world while he was concentrating on silent meditation.
——"Laws·Pain!"
——"Truth·Shield!"
However, before the magic appeared, it was resolved one by one, without even a splash of water, just like the water melted into the water, leaving no trace.
"What's going on! There's a spell caster!"
The priest soon realized that someone had countered his spell, and looks of shock, panic, and fear all jumped into his eyes.
"Kill her!"
He pointed at the smiling blond girl not far away and said viciously.
But at this moment, in the forest illuminated by the singularity, beside the blond girl, a black-haired young man wearing black leather armor and iron gloves suddenly appeared in his hand, and his whole body was like an arrow.
