Chapter 51: Next

Returning to the original place, a new forward camp has begun to be established here, but the scale is much smaller than the camp above. After all, this is the front forward camp, and it is a temporary camp that can be abandoned at any time. However, although the camp is small in size, the defense measures are more fulfilling than those above.

A city wall of more than 3 meters high has been established on the front facing the hollow passage of the underground. There is no special place in the city wall itself, but the material used in the city wall is the soil left when digging the deep pit before. The excess soil has been used in the blocking upper passage, but the remaining soil Aphrola has not been discarded at will but has been deliberately retained. All the soil has been magically treated and compressed the wall state similar to the rock. When I passed by there, I checked it out. The 5.45 M74 rifle bullet hit it, but only sparks popped up. It is no exaggeration to say that this city wall can definitely withstand the impact of a group of ogres.

When we entered the camp, we happened to meet Desmo who woke up, but she didn't look radiant after waking up, and it was more like she was depressed because of excessive fatigue and not enough rest. For this reason, I couldn't help but worry about her condition, so I took her back to the temporary tent to rest. For some reason, I always felt that she would just let her get rid of the mortal state first, but unfortunately she did not accept this proposal.

"It's okay, I'm just a little unaccustomed. Just let me relax for a while." Desmo sat in the tent with a dazed look and washed his face. Then he took the cup of hot coffee I handed him and said, "How is it going on over there?"

"It's okay, we just went to see the spectacular underground hole, so now Aphrola and the others are studying the next step." I also made myself a cup of instant latte, but after taking a sip, I didn't feel very good.

Desmo doesn't seem to like instant coffee very much. She took a few sips and then put the coffee aside. I thought she would create some drinks by herself, and I was about to try it out. After all, I don't like drinking this kind of coffee very much. But unfortunately, Desmo did not plan to make some drinks by herself, but looked at me and smiled.

"Give me some milk, I'm not used to bitter things."

"Oh, wait a moment." I ran out of the tent and found the carriage for the consignment of supplies. I took out a box of milk from the food box inside my gift pile. I picked it up and looked at the shelf date. After confirming that there was no problem, I took another box of juice and planned to return to the tent.

I met unexpected people on the way. For some reason, Miles showed up in the camp with a large group of people. Seeing his hurrying look, I didn't want to say hello to him. After all, I was just a little surprised to see his appearance, because I remember that he was staying in the city of Wilesker before. It was inevitable that something was wrong with me when I suddenly appeared here.

When I saw him, I happened to catch his sight. I nodded politely to him. Of course, I also noticed that he seemed to want to come over and talk to me, but Desmo was still waiting for the milk, so I quickly turned around and planned to return to the tent. But at this moment, suddenly the sound of swords being unsheathed from him came from the side, and there were still people roaring loudly.

When I felt something really wrong, I suddenly heard noisy fighting sounds coming from nearby. I looked up at the source of the sound and found that it was the Knights Camp in the Wilkes not far away. I was just curious because I felt something was going on from the direction of the sound. When I saw other guards around me rushing toward with weapons, I couldn't help but think that I had encountered an enemy attack.

The matter was urgent, so I quickly put the milk and juice into the magazine pocket on my chest, and then quickly took out the Strickkin APS from the carrier and rushed over there. After all, all the weapons I had been unloaded when I entered the camp to rest. At this moment, the only weapon I carried with me was this Strickkin APS. If I really encountered an enemy attack, if there were not many, I might be able to barely deal with it. If there were too many, I would probably be able to hold on until Diana came over to change my weapons.

I bypassed the messy pedestrians on the road, because most of them were workers busy transporting construction materials. After hearing the chaos nearby, they subconsciously stopped and found more places to find more work. So the aisles of the camp were full of roadblocks made of construction materials. For this reason, I had to detour from another road to the Knights Camp.

But after I finally arrived at the Knights Camp, I found that the riot had moved from the center of the camp to the edge of the camp, and it was near the kitchen truck used to prepare food. At this moment, a large number of soldiers were gathered to form an airtight wall of people, so I stood outside and couldn't see what was inside. But when I saw this scene, I had some bad premonition. Because when I just returned to the camp, Ruby took Liz and Parfi to find food nearby, so I was worried that they would be affected. In desperation, I hurriedly pushed the soldiers who formed the wall of people in front of me, and finally rushed inside but saw a scene that made me angry.

I am really a crow-mouthed. I just thought about it and I missed it. Ruby did have an accident, but fortunately it was not an enemy attack, but this scene made me even more troubled, and I could figure out what was going on here.

Ruby was strangled by a wounded knight and put it on her chest. No, it should be more appropriate to block it, because in front of the knight, Liz and Parfi were each holding their guns at the knight, and Ruby was inexplicably his shield. And there were two shield-holding soldiers beside the knight, and they all raised their tower shields to block the knight's lower body on both sides of the knight. Therefore, the crossbowmen who confronted the knight in the rear could not effectively shoot the opponent's vital points, but this was also a little thankful for me, because I can't guarantee that these sharpshooters would accurately avoid Ruby and shoot him. After all, the accurate head of the crossbow was not as accurate as the guns.

I was too lazy to care about the reason for this, because I noticed something was wrong with Ruby's condition. For some reason, she was unable to resist the other party, and her face turned red, obviously she was in a state of being unable to breathe well, and the reason for this was the reason why the knight strangled her neck hard.

I quickly adjusted Strichkin to semi-automatic mode, then pointed the muzzle at the knight's head, intending to kill him directly from the side. But unfortunately, because there was a lot of noise when I came in, the knight quickly noticed my existence. He hurriedly pressed the javelin on his other hand to the ground and placed the gun head under Ruby's jaw, and then smiled at me without any hesitation.

I hurriedly raised the gun. This damn guy did not have a good time to shoot me, because he obviously wanted to fight to the death. I knew very well that as long as I shot and killed the other party, Ruby would be directly pressed on the head of the javelin by his weight. I would not have any doubts that the sharp head could not penetrate Ruby's head, so I could only grit my teeth and make concessions.

I really regret why I rushed in casually. If I had known this result, I would rather go directly to take a suitable weapon in the tent and find a commanding height to kill him. But now I don’t have time to regret it. The knight on the opposite side was spitting at me with a proud look on his face, and he also pointed at me without any scruples and signaled me to stand in front of him.

I had no choice but to do it, and then prayed in my heart that Diana or Aphrola would come over quickly, because as long as they came, they would definitely be able to use magic to deal with this bastard. I patiently observed the surroundings and found that there were indeed several Algasburg magicians doing small moves nearby, but I was not at all worried about their sneak attack, so I quickly rushed to the front of the knight with a big step.

"Let them all put down their weapons! Especially those two people, I know your weapons are very fast, but my weapons are covered with lich poison. If you have the courage, let them attack me and try."

I didn't want to negotiate with him at all, but for Ruby's safety, I still signaled Liz and Parfi to put down their weapons, and took the opportunity to observe the expressions of others around me. Especially the appearance of those magicians, when they heard the Knight say the name of the poison, I knew that this poison that I had never heard of before was absolutely extraordinary, and those magicians who had to make small moves seemed to have given up the idea of ​​sneak attacking the Knight and returned to the crowd.

"Dant Arezzo! You can't escape!" Marco walked forward a few steps with his hands empty-handed and said, "Let her go, I can guarantee that you will not be sentenced to death."

"Hahaha..." The knight named Dante laughed again after hearing Marco's warning. Then he spat at Marco again and said, "Stop lying to me, your promise seems like a bullshit to me. Since I dare to do such a thing, I will never surrender to you. At worst, let this little bitch accompany me to hell." After that, the bastard actually licked Ruby's side face with his dirty tongue in front of me.

At this moment, I was almost lost in anger and almost raised my muzzle again. But the other party was very sensitive to my abnormal movement, so he hid his head behind Ruby, and deliberately or unintentionally shook Ruby's body to signal us to pay attention to the javelin under her jaw.

At this time, Miles also walked in. He began to negotiate with Dante, but I was too lazy to listen to their conversation now, but I quickly observed the other party's every move and prepared to launch a sudden attack. But unfortunately, the observation result was extremely disappointed. I even thought that Dante's escape here was a planned result. Behind them was a wall, so we could not sneak attack the other party from behind. On the side, there were two soldiers using tower shields to protect them. Now those who could conduct long-range and precise attacks were not on the scene. The rangers all entered the underground hole to investigate the route, and the crossbowmen gathered behind me to face the scene. Liz and Parfie were the same. They could not leave at will, so it was almost a luxury to kill the other party at this time.

The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the highly poisonous javelin. As long as there is no such thing, I will have many ways to rescue Ruby. Because Ruby's condition is already an urgent stage, I really feel that Ruby can no longer hold on. She has not had much physical resistance since the beginning, and she is like a doll squeezing her neck and limbs and is hung in the air in the air.

"Diana...Eve... Why are you still not here!" I anxiously urged the two of them to come and rescue the scene in my heart.

I knew this was just self-comfort, because I didn’t have magic or telepathy, so even if I kept roaring in my heart, I wouldn’t let both of them feel the slightest reaction.

"Hey! Tell me! What about you! A stinky bitch!" Just when I was a little stunned, I suddenly noticed that Dante was shouting at me.

I actually don't understand what the other person calls me, but I know that it is definitely not a polite language.

"Tell me, I'm listening." I ignored the other party's insult to me, but forced myself to calm down.

"Top your weapon!" Dante shook Ruby, who was almost unconscious, without any hesitation, and protested: "I don't think about making small moves until how your weapons are used, otherwise I will strangle this little bitch to death first."

I didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party doing this, but I still planned to do it. So I subconsciously pulled out the magazine from Strickingli and just when I was about to hand over the empty gun, the other party suddenly started to scream again in anger.

"Twist that together! And the two on your legs! Including those two people's hands, not a single one! Take them all in front of me!" Dante waved his arms arrogantly and pointed at Liz and Parfi behind me.

It seemed that he proposed this condition not to prevent us from firing at him, but to ask for my gun. I turned around and took my respective weapons from the hands of both of them, and quietly turned off all the insurances on the three guns that included me before.

He knew how my gun was used, but he definitely didn't understand the structure of these guns, so he probably didn't know about insurance or something. Since the other party wanted my gun, I wouldn't let him easily get the gun and fire at us. The most important thing is that I still have a self-defense weapon on my body, which is the Super-Shorty placed on the inside of the tactical vest. As long as I can seize the opportunity, I will definitely not be stingy with the No. 12 shotgun on my body.

I put the guns in front of them with a gloomy face, and then Dante kicked the soldiers in front of me. They both walked forward slowly with their shields. Although they were accomplices, they were not a good-looking lamp. They did not react timidly at all when they were in battle. I even noticed that one of the soldiers had the expression when they got the gun, which seemed to be greedy as if they had picked up gold.

Obviously, they wanted my gun not for their own use, but for money.

I couldn't help but think of the accident that happened in the small market. Maybe they had planned to do this since then, but his companion and the other knight were not here, was it already captured by others? And there must be other people behind them, who can pay enough money to make them do this, and it is probably difficult for the person behind the scenes to be found, and there must be other spies in the team, and the scope may not be among the soldiers. Perhaps there are masterminds or other subordinates among the group of merchants, but I guess this matter can be at most to find a few spies from this team.

After thinking about it, I felt helpless. I must avenge this revenge. If it really doesn't work, just ask Sevina for some clues. The price is the reward for this mission. I don't think she will care.

Thinking of this, my mood improved a little. At the same time, the two soldiers opposite had already packed up their weapons and retreated back to their original positions. At this moment, a groom walked in with a truck carrying a carriage.

This seems to be one of the requests that Dante and Miles had just negotiated. A truck used to transport military supplies, and using it to escape the road seems to be a good way. But I guess they can't escape even if they can evacuate, because I don't plan to let them leave here alive, and Diana and Aphrola wouldn't agree, let alone there is a goddess Desmo who loves Ruby very much.

This was not my imagination, because I noticed that there was a cloaked figure behind the carriage, which was a familiar elves that could not be more familiar. At this moment, there was a tiny electric spark crackling on the fingers under the cloak. At the same time, opposite the carriage, there was another familiar figure on the top of a pile of cargo boxes on the other side of Dante and others. I used my light to scan the muzzle that was quietly showing in the shadow, and the familiar white light above the muzzle was aimed slightly in the faint firelight. I knew very well what they were going to do in this obvious arrangement, so I calmed down a little and quietly reached my hand to my waist and touched Super-Shorty's grip.

Dante was ecstatic when he saw the soldiers get the weapons, and he shook his hands intentionally and made a move that almost threw Ruby down to test us. Of course, everyone except me and them were very fierce. Even Marco twitched from behind and aimed at Dante. Although these people's behavior was a bit out of place, I was still grateful for their concern for Ruby.

Marco's reaction seemed to hit Dante's expectation. He used Ruby to threaten Marco and others to throw away all the weapons. After they bit the bullet and did it, Dante suddenly took down a crossbow with arrows from the back of a soldier in front of him.

"I'm sorry, although I really want to retreat quickly now, the buyer said you must die."

Then Dante pulled the trigger of the crossbow without everyone reacting, and the sharp arrow directly penetrated into my chest in the blink of an eye.

The impact from my chest made me feel a little lost, but then I heard a "click" sound. The javelin under Ruby's jaw broke into two pieces and fell to the ground. Then, before Dante understood what was going on, the three of them suddenly twitched and fell directly to the ground.

After seeing the raid successful, I quickly put down Super-Shorty and rushed over and picked up Ruby who was lying on the ground. But before I could check her condition, Diana suddenly pulled down her cloak and rushed over, taking Ruby in my arms away. Then she looked at me in horror and choked up.

"What's wrong? Check Ruby quickly." I urged Diana impatiently, but she still seemed to be unable to hear it.

At this time, I noticed that her gaze was a little low, and then I looked down at my chest. I saw that the crossbow arrow just now was still stuck on it, and a large amount of red liquid kept oozing out of the shaft.
