Chapter 17 Alertness

Silently, an unexpected battle gradually came to an end.

There was a knight who had activated the Seed of Life present. The moment the two bloodthirsty orcs fell, the outcome of this battle was already determined.

Feeling that their companions were falling one by one around them, the orcs' eyes flashed with despair. Seeing that the current situation not only did not collapse, but also inspired their own ferocity, and launched a fatal attack on the surrounding teams, giving Fular

The soldiers he led inflicted great losses.

By the time this battle is over, there will be very few warriors left who can still stand up.

In any case, this group of orcs is indeed very powerful, equivalent to the combat power of a small tribe. There are also three bloodthirsty orcs among them. It is extremely difficult to win.

A large number of warriors fell to the ground, and most of the survivors were powerful trainee knights.

These people came from noble families, were equipped with the best armors and weapons, and were physically stronger than ordinary warriors. It was only natural that they survived to the end.

Looking at the scene around him, Fular was a little silent, then gradually raised his head and looked to the other side, with a fierce light in his eyes.

That is the direction where Adil is.

In the past, if Adil hadn't tried his best to hold back the bloodthirsty orc, the outcome might have been completely different in the end. Even if Evral was powerful, once he was finally surrounded by a large number of orc warriors, he would have no choice but to abandon him.

The large group left alone.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, sighing secretly in his heart.

The reason in his heart told him that Adil had probably met with misfortune at this time, but the bloodthirsty orc never came back.

This made him feel a little more hopeful, and he strode forward with a sword in his hand.

However, after walking a certain distance, when he found Adil following the traces of Adil's battle with the bloodthirsty orcs, he was stunned by the situation in front of him.

On the earth, blood dyed the surrounding land red, and it had dried up.

A tall orc corpse lay there quietly. On one side of the corpse, Adil's figure stood quietly. One of his legs was bloody and bloody, and it looked like he had been seriously injured.

Seeing this scene, Fular couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his original serious expression could no longer be maintained: "You!"

He looked at Adier blankly, and it took him a long time to react, with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Have you activated the life seed?"

Hearing the sound in the distance, Adil raised his head weakly. His face looked a little pale due to excessive blood loss.

He didn't speak, but a little bit of life energy slowly emerged from his body, spreading that familiar aura.

Seeing his appearance and feeling the unique breath of life seeds, Fu Lala was stunned for a moment.

The battlefield behind him was quickly cleared.

This place is still wild, and there are too many ferocious beasts. There has just been a battle here, and the strong smell of blood is likely to attract these ferocious beasts.

They stripped off the soldiers' armor and weapons and collected them. The seriously injured were placed on the carriage that had been used to transport food and other materials, and Adil was also among them.

They moved very quickly, and in only about half an hour, the group set off again, heading back to the place where they had returned.

After they left, several strange figures appeared on the battlefield behind them.

They were all wearing light green uniforms, which were more suitable for hiding in the mountains. They appeared at this time and looked quietly at the direction where Adil and others left in the distance.

"I thought it was just an ordinary knight who came this time, but I didn't expect that the one who came this time was Fular, known as the Crazy Lion." A tall, but thin man said looking into the distance, with a very indifferent expression on his face.

: "When they encounter Fular and the guards led by him, these orcs will die unjustly."

"Indeed." There was a helpless expression on the other person's face: "Three hundred intact orc warriors, plus three bloodthirsty orcs, if the other two knights come, no matter who they are, they are enough to deal with them."

"But who knew that this time the guard captain Fular would personally take action. With his strength, even if he does not bring the elite guard army, there is definitely no way to keep him here this time."

"I'm afraid his strength is not far from that of a great knight. Unless the leader personally takes action, it is impossible for these orcs to keep him." The thin man shook his head. When he talked about the leader, there was a kind of fanaticism in his eyes.

of confidence.

"Actually...if we had just taken action, we might not have been able to keep him." On the side, a tall, expressionless woman said with a frown.

"The risk is too great." A voice from the side responded: "Even though he looks weak now, in fact he can definitely activate the life seed once. Once it breaks out, although he will definitely not be our opponent, we want to

It's impossible to keep him here, and things will be in trouble by then."

"Encountering an entire tribe of orc warriors can barely be said to be an accident. But if several hostile knights appear immediately after the orcs, then even a fool can see the problem, let alone

It's an old fox like Fular."

"Once he becomes suspicious, our arrangement may be exposed, which increases the risk out of thin air."

"What a pity!" The woman frowned and said this after a long time.

··········

On the other side, lying quietly on the carriage, Adil felt something was wrong.

"Just now, someone was watching from the side." This thought flashed through his mind.

"Chip, transmit the image just now." Adier ordered to the chip in his mind.

The next moment, a large amount of information poured into his mind, and the previous scenes slowly regressed like a movie, constantly replaying in his mind.

An awkward feeling came over him. In the replayed images, Adil seemed to vaguely see a few figures, flashing past the edge of his perspective at a certain moment.

The speed of those people was very fast, far exceeding the speed of the trainee knights, and they were wearing protective clothing. If it weren't for the chip's reminder, Adil would never have been able to detect anything abnormal under normal circumstances.

"After testing and comparison, the target speed exceeds the limit of the human body, and there is a 78.4% chance that it is knight-level!"

"Are they all knights?" Adil twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his head and glanced at Knight Fral in front of him, suddenly feeling a little scared in his heart.

"Before, if I didn't choose to stay and left directly, what would be the consequences?" This question suddenly came to his mind.

To be able to meet them in the wilderness, and to hide and quietly watch them kill the orcs, these people are obviously enemies rather than friends, and maybe even the orcs were created by the other party.

To speculate on this group of people with the greatest malice, maybe this group of people was originally here to ambush them in order to catch them all in one fell swoop to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

As for why they were allowed to break out of the encirclement, Adil probably thought that the other party had misjudged the strength of the Knights of Fural, and finally found that there was no way to keep them all, so he hid aside and did not show up.

"We can't stay in this place any longer. We must return to the castle as soon as possible!"

Although he still didn't know what the other party's purpose was, an instinctive sense of crisis still made Adil make this decision in his heart.

The excuse to go back was ready. Adil was seriously injured now, and he should have returned to the castle to recuperate.

And according to custom, every newly promoted knight in this area needs to return to the castle and be personally summoned by Count Poria to be awarded the title of knight.

But before that, Adil still had to follow the team and return to the camp where they came from.

On the road, when resting, Fular would occasionally talk to Adil, telling him some experiences and tactics personally, and seemed to be quite friendly towards him.

This is due to a change in status.

Adil has now activated the Seed of Life and became a knight at the age of thirteen. He has almost broken the promotion record in this area, and his future is bright.

Not to mention, Adier had risked his life to help him stop the enemy before.

The combination of these two factors is the real reason for the change in the other party's attitude.

Of course, Adier would not refuse this kind of friendly relationship.

He showed his respect and studiousness very appropriately, which satisfied Fular, who was always serious and paid attention to etiquette and details, and couldn't help but admire him even more.

A few days later, after returning to the previous camp, Adil promptly expressed his desire to return to the castle to recuperate.

Fulard did not express any objection, but instead agreed with him to return to the castle to meet Count Boria first, so he planned to transport Adil back together with some of the wounded.

In order to ensure Adil's safety, he specially sent an extra team of elite soldiers to ensure that he was not disturbed by bandits and wild beasts on the road.

·············

After a while, after walking a long road, the familiar castle was in sight.

Feeling the excited cheers coming from around him, Adil quietly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

The castle in the distance is as tall and solid as ever. On top, teams of soldiers are stationed with weapons in their hands.

Far away from him, a group of cavalry came over and escorted the wounded forward.

"Back again..." Looking at the familiar places around him, Adier suddenly felt this emotion in his heart.

The last time he returned to this castle, he seemed to have been transported back as a wounded person, and coincidentally, the opponents who caused him two serious injuries were orcs.

But this time, because his physical fitness was much stronger and the life seeds were activated, Adil's injuries healed quickly, and he didn't have to be helped into the castle like last time.

The carriage traveled not far from the castle. Adil refused the help of the soldiers on the side and got off the carriage himself. He followed the leader's footsteps and walked forward, entering the familiar castle.
