Chapter 893: Intermezzo (IX)
A flash of light flashed across the sky, illuminating the dark forest below, and several figures quickly emerged from the trees, then quickly vanished.
"How far is it?"
The paladin, who was at the head, warily held his shield and sword, staring at the dark forest in front of him and the tall fortress in the distance. And beside him, the Naga priest and the dwarf mage were also pale, gasping for breath. Even the dwarf Muradin, who had a black and charred beard at this moment, looked quite embarrassed.
They are one of the Nine Holy Sons, and this is part of the God's plan. They have received the oracle, the Nine Saints will attract the attention of the other party through a frontal attack, and what they need to do is to take this opportunity to infiltrate it, find the location of the Destiny Ritual, and then completely destroy the Destiny Ritual -- of course, the Nine Saints did not let them die in vain, before leaving, each of them received the blessings and artifacts given by the Nine Saints, so that they could sneak into it smoothly. And now, the reason why they are able to walk forward in the forest is because of the blessing bestowed on them by the goddess of the forest, so that the whole forest has become their companion. Otherwise, just getting lost in the forest will be good for these holy sons.
And the reason why the Holy Sons are so embarrassed at the moment is not because they have encountered any enemies, but because they have been accidentally affected by the attacks of Patilina and Mona. The battle between the two sides can be called earth-shattering, and Patilina looks like she is crazy about pulling the whole world to be buried regardless of whether she is dead, so she naturally doesn't care if this attack will affect her allies, so under the bombardment of a large area of artillery, this team also suffered from the pond fish. If it weren't for their fast running, I'm afraid they would have turned into a pile of charred rotten meat by now.
But even so, the situation in front of them was not favorable to them, and it was not soil and grass that covered the earth, but a strange existence that was as soft as flesh and blood, and exuded the smell of decay. Not only that, but these pieces of flesh seem to have life, and when you step on them, you can even feel the pulsation and twitching of the blood vessels, which is disgusting.
What exactly is hidden here?
Even the sons of the Nine Saints couldn't get an answer from it. They only hope that these things will not be used to detect the enemy, otherwise, their plans will definitely be in vain. But in turn, they fear that this could be some kind of terrible trap, just waiting for them to break in headlong and then ......... There was no more then.
Only six of the nine sons came, Ellie, Viconia, and Elinst were not among them, Ellie needed to stay at the base camp as a saint, and Elinster was not heard from. Truth be told, people now prefer to have Elinster's help, after all, her abilities can make them feel more at ease when searching, and even if they encounter any danger, they can easily respond to it. But now, they are on their own.
As for Viconia, the sons did not know what had happened to Viconia, but they had only vaguely heard that the elves seemed to have abandoned the guidance of the goddess of the forest, and had left the land far away. This surprised the Sons, after all, such a thing does not happen all the time. Although the goddess of the forest does not completely protect the elves, her relationship with the elves has always been very good. And now that the elves have given up on her, what is going on is really wondering.
Because of this, the Holy Sons are not having a good time in the forest at the moment, without Viconia, who is the most familiar with exploring in the forest, and without Irinster, who can pass on all the information at the first time, it is difficult enough for the rest of the people to carefully approach the fortress without being detected, let alone the tasks they need to complete after that. However, this is not an easy thing to do, Jenn did not put all the alien legions into the front line, especially after the aliens were upgraded to Zerg, he even sent some of them to patrol everywhere, of course, Jenn did not really rely on alien patrols, to a large extent, it was more to confuse the enemy. Although he said that he would be aware of any enemy entering his sphere of influence thanks to the dungeon system, if he didn't even set up a little guard, then the other party would suspect that there was some trap and be vigilant. Conversely, once patrolling guards are placed, these uninvited guests will focus on playing hide and seek with the aliens, thus letting their guard down.
"I have a very bad feeling."
Wood Parker moved his fingers and clenched the dagger in his hand, a hint of nervousness on his face.
"I always felt that this operation was not going to go so smoothly and ......... Damn, I always feel like something is watching us! Damn, there must be a trap in this, and I'm willing to bet all the gold in my wallet! ”
"But even so, we're going to keep going."
Hearing the thief's complaint, Joseph sighed, and then he looked up again, looking ahead.
"This is our mission, we must destroy that evil ritual in order to save the world."
Hearing Joseph's words, the thief pursed his lips, but said nothing. As Joseph said, there is no way back now, and there is only one thing they can do.
"Boom Boom Boom ..................!!"
Another series of explosions rang out, the earth shook, and everyone looked up, all they could see was the bright red of the sky as if it were a flame. From a distance, it was as if a crack had been blown open in the sky, which was shocking.
"We keep going, there's no time."
Glancing at the sky in front of him, Joseph stood up, clenched his sword and walked forward. Behind him, the other sons were silent for a moment, and then followed closely behind, moving on. Soon, they quietly passed through the forest and came to the edge of the fortress, as long as they could pass through here, then their actions would be much smoother.
For them, this is their last chance.
But only for them.
"Jenn, are we going to do it?"
Quietly suspended in the air, the Dark Goblin Princess looked at the Holy Sons who were shuttling in the dark forest not far away, and asked in a low voice. Hearing Tinidel's inquiry, Jenn shook his head.
"No, don't do it just yet, let these guys in. Of course, don't let them actually enter the scene of the Fate Ritual, let alone let them get close. ”
"Okay."
Hearing Jenn's order, Tinidel nodded, and the next moment, with the surging darkness, the figure of the dark fairy princess quietly disappeared into the dark night, never to be seen again. (To be continued.) )
