dark moon

Chapter 166 Parasite

"Rumble", the sound of heavy horse hooves echoed over the wilderness. Five black wind-splitting beasts formed an arrow shape and charged forward. The knights on horseback lowered their bodies and held their lances tightly. The tops of the dark lances Sharp and sharp, shimmering with a dark red light in the sunlight.

Although they were in a charging posture, the knights were not too fast because they needed to estimate the speed of the carriage behind them.Two fortress-like carriages followed behind the arrow one after the other. Not only were the horses pulling the cart well-trained, they would not be afraid of the Wind Ripper beside them, but the driver was also an experienced driver. He is an ordinary person, but he has been performing escort missions with the knights all year round. He has long been accustomed to facing various crises. Even if he knows that the situation is not right, he still behaves fearlessly and follows the knights as if nothing has happened.

As for Dak, the baron mercenary riding the nightmare beast is now fully in the state, like a black shadow. One moment ago, he was at the front of the line observing the situation ahead, and the next moment he appeared at the end of the line. The defense may come from Attack from the rear of the convoy.Nightmare Beast and Dak are simply the best natural partners. Working together, Dak's mobility as a knight can be fully utilized.

Along the way, we still didn't encounter too many monsters. Until we saw the parasites' camp from a distance, there were no monsters to cause trouble.This completely goes against the rules of the wilderness. Even if the monsters on the ground are smart enough and are frightened by the knights' combat power and avoid them, it is abnormal that there are no large flying monsters hovering in the sky.The open wilderness close to the plains like this is the best hunting ground for flying monsters, especially in late autumn, which is the best season for hunting. As a result, I didn't even see a flying monster. I knew it with my toes. There is something wrong here.

However, the leaders of the mercenaries and clients no longer consider the issue of Warcraft. The reason is very simple. There can only be one reason why Warcraft does not appear, that is, something that scares them appears nearby, or a powerful high-level monster appears nearby. level monsters, or a large number of terrifying intelligent biological troops, or dangerous natural phenomena, no matter what it is, it can pose a crushing threat to their lives, which is enough to scare them and prevent them from getting close. .Considering that we have never encountered any decent group of monsters from the Temple of Gods, this 'nearby' area is really a bit ridiculously large.

Now that we know the reason, we can of course put aside the problem of Warcraft. Shuer and Dak have rich leadership experience. Of course, they can see that the strange phenomenon that everyone is about to face is probably a threat to Warcraft that they dare not approach. The root cause and the origin of the solution will naturally solve the problem of Warcraft. If the root cause cannot be solved, there is no point in worrying about the problem of Warcraft.

What's more, the parasite camp is now close at hand, and dealing with them is the most important thing now.

"Xuer, change hands." You can already see the swaying figures running around in the camp, Dak suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the next carriage, "Liar, cliché, this is your domain."

"In the name of the Lord, if you talk about negotiation and gathering intelligence, I will be happier." Xiuer's voice slowly floated out in the carriage, "Since you need the help of me as your employer, in terms of remuneration, is it... ..."

"Don't think I don't know. You will definitely cheat us a lot at the end of this mission. Although it will definitely be a win-win result in the end, we will definitely gnash our teeth with hatred. I can pretend not to see your evil intentions. ,so……"

"Deal." He admitted, and he admitted it shamelessly, "But I have a request. I want command power, not your mercenary group's command power, but yours."

"Uh..." Dak hesitated. Of course he would not be stupid enough to ask what the difference between the two is. The difference is too big. Asking this would insult the intelligence of both parties. He was just weighing the pros and cons. "I also have a request. My subordinates are not cannon fodder, and no one is. If you want to be cannon fodder, I will do it."

This time it was Xiure's turn to hesitate. After a while of silence, he whispered: "Okay, I will treat them as partners."

"you promise?"

"In the name of the Lord." The standard cleric replied, and one could imagine the holiness on Shuer's face.

"No, I want you to do it in my sister's name."

"Do you want to duel? I've been beaten by you for a long time."

"Come on, I don't mind at all." Dak lowered his head and sniffed the metal rose in his hand.

"xxx", a few syllables that I can't understand at all, this is obviously the language of Xiu Er's hometown, and it is by no means a pleasant content, but in the end he gave in because he saw Lisa's smile, " Well, in Lisa's name, I promise."

"Okay, Dark Knight, Dark Shadu, is at your disposal at any time." He put his hand on his chest and bowed on the horse, "It's an honor to fight side by side again."

"The dark moon is above, everything is a test for the Lord."

Although the deal was established, Shuuer did not step out of the carriage, and Dak did not urge him. The two of them understood each other quite well. Since the responsibility was given to Shuuer, Shuuer would know what to do. He knows better than anyone else, just let him control all the measures.

Therefore, even though the team had stopped at the edge of the camp, the travelers in the camp hurriedly came forward, but Shuer still did not respond, Dak also remained silent, and the six knights stood silently in the cracking wind The beasts and nightmare beasts were on top, looking down at the terrified parasites below.

The parasites were uneasy, and the team in front of them was imposing, but the attitude of every black armored knight was cold, and they had no desire to communicate at all, which made them unable to say even if they had tens of thousands of words in their hearts. Period Ai Ai stood far away, not even daring to get close. "In the holy name of the dark moon, the dark moon is with us." Observing the other party's attitude, Xiuer finally opened the door and slowly got out of the carriage.

Um?Why did you change clothes so quickly? Weren't you still wearing casual clothes just now? Why did you change into a holy robe?He was lingering in it, probably not to create a sense of oppression and mystery, but just to change clothes.Fortunately, the knights who knew the inside story were not exposed to the weirdness on their faces due to their visors. This was gratifying.

As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Xiure immediately stood on the left side of the carriage and stretched out his hand respectfully.A slender hand with black gloves stretched out from the carriage and put it on Shuer's arm. Lisa, who was also wearing a bishop's robe, walked out with noble and graceful steps.

"In the name of the Lord, and with the mercy of the dark moon, I grant you a peaceful mind." Standing still on the ground, Lisa waved her small hand, and a dim light fell from the sky and sprinkled on each of the surrounding parasites. Their frightened hearts gradually calmed down, and the blood gradually appeared on their pale faces.

"Thank you for the gift of the gods." Many parasites knelt down directly, like drowning people who had grasped the life-saving straw, and stretched out their hands to the girl with a cry, "Please ask the gods to save us."

"Are there any injured or victims?" The girl's clear voice sounded like a divine voice coming from the sky.

The Shadow Chasers looked left and right, and finally shook their heads together.

So are you like this, a group of ordinary people in the wilderness, not even injured, so it can be seen that they were not attacked at all, but are you so frightened that they almost shed tears?Look in front of you, the great Lisa-sama faced danger when she was eight years old, and she didn't exaggerate like you.

She was madly criticizing the attitude of the parasites in her heart, but on the surface Lisa still had a holy face: "Dark Moon is above, this is the best news, may the Lord be with you and me. Since no one is hurt, then Shuer Your Excellency, I will leave the worldly affairs to you."

"As you wish, Archbishop's Holy See, in the name of the moon, be holy."

"In the name of the Lord, holy be it."

The brother and sister made enough gestures in cooperation, making these ordinary people who had been frightened all day full of respect for their identities. Then Shuer walked to the crowd and looked at these frightened parasites.

There are seventeen people. Judging from the size of the camp, almost everyone is here. The four bronze terraces are ordinary mercenaries. Judging from the equipment style, they should be a fixed team, and they have cooperated at least a few times.Thirteen ordinary people, three women and ten men. Their clothing and temperament are very obvious. They are not migrants who cannot survive in a certain city. They should be intending to go out and try their luck as new traveling businessmen. But if they are traveling businessmen, The size of the team is a little too big, wait, wait, wait, look what I found, it is definitely not a traveling merchant, at least not before.

"This lady, and this gentleman." His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Xiuer had already made a judgment in his heart. With a kind smile, Xiuer looked at a young woman about 20 years old and her body. A middle-aged man in his 30s stood next to him and bowed slightly, "Excuse me, are you two the leaders of this team?"

"Ah? That's right." The two of them were stunned and looked at each other. The man lowered his gaze subconsciously, avoiding eye contact with the woman, but it was still the middle-aged man who answered, "We just put it together with the same goal. The team, Miss Linda and I are temporarily responsible for the dispatch of the team."

Sure enough.

It's really easy to guess. Although women look ordinary and dress no differently from other people, people with knowledge in their stomachs can't hide their bookishness. Every time they speak, behave, or even stand, they Every detail will be exposed.As for the man, although he does not have as much knowledge as the woman, he is obviously well-educated. He and the woman must be familiar with each other, and there is a certain gap in status.

After the team arrived, the two of them were also one of the few who were not too panicked, at least able to hide their fear in their hearts. Such things as restraint and city government are not something that ordinary civilians have.

The most important thing is that the two of them have not been excluded by others, which speaks volumes.If there are special beings in a team, after getting along with them, they will easily be subconsciously alienated and excluded by others. Unless they are the leader, it is difficult to avoid it.

Adding up several details, the status of the two leaders has been exposed.

"My lord, please give me the honor to meet your person in charge." Shuer made a circle on his chest and said nonsense sincerely, "If possible, can you tell me what happened?"
