The sound of horse hooves was as rapid as raindrops.
A group of more than ten riders galloped on the dry sand, with large swathes of smoke and dust rising in the wind.
"Ms. Cecilia, as a commander, it is a very dangerous act to leave the protection of the army without authorization... It is the same for you and the army!" Sister Celine, who was shrouded in a nun's robe, whispered.
persuaded.
"I know."
Cecilia's expression was calm, "But I have received the latest instructions from Dio... We must catch up with His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible! There is no need to worry about our safety. As for the army, I am relieved that Phil is leading it."
"Okay then... the Light Protects the Empire." Sister Celine sighed.
It was a helpless move for Cecilia to break away from the large army. No matter how fast the army marched, it was impossible to maintain high speed for a long time. However, the dozen or so riders led by Cecilia, one person and two horses, could save time to the maximum extent.
.
Now, timing is everything.
The team flew through a jungle like the wind.
Suddenly, Sister Celine's face changed slightly and she whispered: "Wait a minute."
Cecilia nodded and raised her hand. Amid the neighing of Herod's horse, a dozen riders stood up and reined in their horses, changing from extreme speed to extreme silence, showing superb horse control skills.
Sister Celine closed her eyes, and a spiritual power invisible to the naked eye spread.
"What happened?" Cecilia asked.
Sister Celine opened her eyes: "I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a few people in the jungle just now... But after I checked carefully, those people seemed to have lost their traces."
"Is this happening?"
Cecilia looked at this small jungle with cold eyes, most of which were dead trees, and withered and yellow wormwood grew on the ground.
"Want to go in and search?" a rider asked.
"No need," Cecilia said coldly, "set fire!"
A dozen riders galloped on horseback, lighting fires in all directions of the small jungle. The dry trees were undoubtedly the best fuel for combustion, and soon a fire began to spread, with thick smoke rising.
Sister Celine whispered: "Is it worth wasting such a long time for a few people with unknown origins?"
Cecilia shook her head and said, "I trust my intuition."
In fact, the reason why Cecilia wasted her time setting fire to the forest was very simple. She had determined that those people in the jungle must be against the Imperial Army, and they were most likely Awakened!
If they are part of the Imperial Army, there is no need to deliberately hide their aura. It can even reach a level of concealment that even Sister Celine, a leader with spiritual expertise, cannot detect. People in the spiritual world generally do not have such great abilities, let alone such strong vigilance.
Heart.
Under the smoke and fire, three figures quickly ran out from the dense forest.
"Drow!" Sister Celine exclaimed.
Cecilia's eyesight was stronger. As soon as the three figures escaped from the fire, she had already seen each other clearly, two men and one woman. It is worth mentioning that Cecilia did not see the drow in each other.
Racial features such as pale skin and long ears. From her perspective, she saw three normal humans!
[There is a discrepancy between the perspectives of the characters in the spirit world and mine.] The corners of Cecilia's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. She knew what this meant best.
"Chase! At least catch one!" Cecilia shouted.
The riders mounted their horses one after another and rode hard.
The three people were walking together at first, but when they found out that the riders were chasing after them, they immediately split into three groups and fled in three different directions. However, Cecilia focused on the drow in the middle.
As a woman, she knows very well that the drow are a matriarchal society, and those who are awakened as women have a higher status!
Moreover, the two male drow scattered and escaped, which further confirmed Cecilia’s judgment that these three people are all awakened! If they are aborigines, based on their cultural background, if the humble male drow subordinates dare to give up this
If a female priest becomes a deserter, even if she escapes back to her tribe, she will still be fed to spiders.
After Sister Celine chanted briefly, she threw a Judgment of Truth, and the radiant cross fell in the air, nailing the female drow elf to the spot.
The other party obviously has a way to release the control. The white light flashes and the control is released instantly and he continues to run wildly.
Cecilia galloped at full speed, drawing her great bow.
In the mounted shooting state, Cecilia, as the archer and cavalry commander, was able to exert even greater strength. She shot out an arrow, and the arrow seemed to travel through space, breaking through the sound barrier and going straight to the back of the female drow.
However, the strength of the female drow was obviously not weak. The moment Cecilia opened her bow and took aim, she sensed the danger, as if she had a pair of eyes behind her!
When Cecilia's bow and arrow left the string, she shook her hand and shot out a white spider silk-like thing, which stuck to a short tree on the far side. She pulled hard and swung over like Tarzan, dangerously.
Narrowly dodged Cecilia's arrow.
But Cecilia's pursuit was far from over. The horse was still galloping, keeping the distance between the two sides from widening! Cecilia on the horse had already fired the second arrow.
"You forced me."
The female drow said coldly, turned over and crouched between the branches of a short tree, turned her hands, and found two shining silver guns in her hands. Of course, in the eyes of the people in the spirit world, she only took out two hands.
crossbow.
The sound of gunfire reached Cecilia's ears. The horse she was riding was shot three times in a row and rolled over with blood splattering.
Cecilia was very agile, reached out and pressed on the saddle, and jumped up! She whistled sharply, and suddenly space fluctuations surged, and a warg wearing rune armor appeared! Cecilia was caught again.
Elite Warg Rockback!
Yanbei's short-distance sprint speed is even better than that of a horse from the spirit world, and his ability to withstand damage is far beyond that! The opponent fired three more bullets, and a circle of light shield appeared on Yanbei's body.
Completely absorbs damage.
In such a short time, Yanbei had already rushed to close range.
"Are you... a follower of aptain Bai?"
The female drow on the branch suddenly stopped shooting, her tone filled with doubt and disbelief.
Cecilia was slightly startled, and she quickly realized that "aptain Bai" refers to Bai Xiaowen or her Dior. The powerful female awakener in front of her is actually an old acquaintance of Dior.
"How did you recognize me?" Cecilia did not relax her vigilance and looked at the other person carefully, "I don't know you."
"Haha, of course you don't know me!" The tone of the female awakener on the tree seemed to be much more relaxed, "Let me introduce myself, Camille Rockefeller, Aptain Bai is my creditor."
