Chapter 169 The second batch of missing persons

"Blow the trumpet." When he heard the name Ghost Space, Dak's expression changed and he immediately issued an order to his subordinates. Then he turned back and said seriously, "Are you sure?"

It's no wonder that Dak is suspicious, because the chance that the murderer is from the ghost dimension is too low.

After the Age of Chaos reached its peak, the frequency of outbreaks in the ghost space began to decrease. By the years before and after the establishment of the Temple of Gods, the frequency of outbreaks had dropped to the point where it only occurred once in dozens or even hundreds of years.In the past 300 years, there has been no report of the appearance of the ghost space, so that the vast majority of humans regard it as an ancient legend. Many people even doubt the authenticity of others, and only those races with long enough lifespans , I still remember the horror of this mysterious killer in the ghost space.

But even they, because they haven't heard the news of the ghost space for too long, slowly throw it into the depths of their memory, let alone a pure human being like Dak.

Think about it carefully, if you encounter an unexpected situation when you go out, it happens to be a ghost space that has not appeared for hundreds of years?The chances of this happening are too low.

But Dak still ordered to blow the horn without hesitation, not only because he promised to obey Shuer's command, but also because he knew Shuuer. This bastard was indeed insidious and cunning, but every order he issued might be seen as... It seems to make no sense, but in fact it is all carefully considered. Every seemingly inexplicable move actually has an invisible thread connecting them.

Just do it. If you don’t understand something, you can think about it later.Therefore, Dak immediately blew the horn and then made an inquiry.

"Look at my face." Unexpectedly, Shuer pointed at his face, "Does it look like it's confirmed?"

Of course it's not like that. Duck smiled bitterly, and there was something wrong with his own mind. How could such a thing be determined in advance? It could only be a guess.

But soon, he couldn't even smile anymore.

Because there was no trumpet call in response.

According to the rules of the mercenary regiment, after one party sends out a horn signal, the other party must respond within 30 seconds, unless they are in trouble of having to remain silent, or simply cannot receive the horn signal.Theoretically speaking, the team led by Marlene should have responded with horns at this time, but there was silence in the wilderness, not even the chirping of birds and insects, let alone the obvious sound of horns.

"Blow again." Duck instantly became expressionless and his voice was unusually solemn, "The highest level emergency contact signal."

"Woooooo~~" The horn sound this time was extremely urgent, and you could hear the sense of urgency in the sound.

"Something happened." After a moment of silence with his hands behind his back, the tall blond knight clutched the red rose tightly, took a few deep breaths, and his voice returned to his usual calmness, "Everyone, dismount, feed, rest, and be ready for action at any time. "

"Yes." With a bang, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground neatly. No one asked why. The five knights turned over and dismounted in unison, took out fresh animal meat from their backpacks, and began to feed their beloved Split Wind Beast.

"You two leaders, you have also seen that the current situation is very strange." Xiuer tapped his thigh with his fingers, squinted his eyes and said softly, "The most fearful thing at this time is to act rashly, not only you, but also us, because who We can’t be sure what the consequences of rash actions will be.”

"So, I need you two to continue to stay here to appease those people, to keep them calm and normal activities, and not to behave in any panic. This is for the good of all of you. I think with your intelligence, you should be able to understand me. What's the meaning."

Of course the two of them understood that this was a very serious threat.

The enemy we are facing now is uncertain, and the life or death of our comrades is uncertain. We must have a stable enough rear to deal with possible threats.It would be okay if the parasites could remain stable. If not, then Shuuer's team could only turn around and leave far away from here, leaving the parasites to fend for themselves.This is still good. Another possibility is that the knights forcibly suppress the unstable factors. As nobles and priests, it is not a big deal to kill a few low-level civilians who have rashly committed crimes in the wild. No one can No dissatisfaction will be shown for this.

Of course, there is no deep relationship between these parasites. They just use each other. Linda and McCree don't care too much about the life and death of other parasites.But the two of them knew that if they did not perform well enough and failed to complete the tasks assigned by Xiuer, Xiuer's evaluation of the two of them would be greatly reduced. After the crisis passed, they might really treat them like other people. They put it in the nearest city and ignored it.

This is not the expectation of the two of them. They are still hoping that Shuuer can send them to their destination as he said before. It would be better if they can continue to protect them, so even if there is only a glimmer of hope , the two of them must also try their best to complete Shuer's orders to make them look more useful.

"Don't worry, I won't let you handle it on your own." Xiure, like an innocent elder, patted the two of them on the shoulders, "We will also leave manpower to help you maintain the stability of the camp." Between the two of them, With doubtful eyes, Shuer slowly walked back to Lisa and whispered: "You will tell Talina and the others later that they must not leave the protection of the carriage unless absolutely necessary, and then ask the coachman to obey the instructions of the knights. Stop the carriage in the safest spot."

"Yeah." Although she didn't know what Shuer's plan was, Lisa still nodded vigorously. Even though the atmosphere was getting more and more solemn, the girl felt happier and happier that her brother could do what he did to those two bad women. Lisa was very satisfied with giving her the same instructions. As for the content of the order?My brother is definitely right, just do it.

"You can move around freely under the carriage, but don't leave the carriage too far. I will ask the knights to protect you. If you are attacked..."

"Hey, the great Lady Lisa is a gold-level priest. With the knight blocking the front, what enemy can't be defeated?" The girl raised her head and said with a proud expression, "What's more, Lady Lisa is too Those who have killed people with their own hands may only be considered half of them, but they are also veterans who have seen blood."

"Ms. Lisa is so amazing." Touching Lisa's soft blond hair, Shuer's mood was particularly complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.He wanted to protect her and prevent her from encountering any danger, so that she could always hide behind him and enjoy safety, but Shuer also knew in his heart that this was wrong.Only by experiencing the test of wind and waves can a girl grow and transform into a truly powerful priest. Maybe it would be a good choice to let her follow him behind him like this and face danger with him?

That's not something to think about right now.

Xiuer shook his head mockingly, gave the girl a thumbs up to show encouragement, and finally returned to Darke's side.

The handsome knight was sitting upright on the luggage, putting the dry dough cake into his mouth with a relaxed expression.But the five loyal subordinates were not so calm. The five of them sat around the leader, with the same silence, the same eating movements, and serious ferocity and murderous intent that made the atmosphere desolate, just like a group of people who might break out and attack at any time. The ferocious beasts that hunt for prey are terrifying.

A normal person, no matter how familiar the relationship is, would inevitably be cautious when facing the astonishing momentum of the knights, but Shuer was always the exception. He seemed not to be affected by the atmosphere at all, and slowly and unpreparedly walked up to Dak. Sitting on the floor casually, he stretched out his hand lazily and said, "Give me a piece."

"Gungun, don't even think about taking advantage of the dry food. We agreed before departure that you are responsible for your own food." Dak can be regarded as the only one among the knights who remains normal. At least he can laugh easily.Although he refused, he still threw out a piece of bread and said nonchalantly, "What are you going to do later?"

"Who has the best field exploration skills?" Dak asked a random question, but Shuer just picked up the question, "Don't tell me you don't have it, I'm not in the mood to beat you up now."

"Xinyue, you will catch up in a minute." Dak understood, and did not forget to retort, "You said it as if you were sure of defeating me."

"Then the others stay and protect Lisa and the four of them. Although theoretically speaking, if they don't run around, they shouldn't encounter any danger, but it's better to be careful. It's safer to leave a protective manpower behind." Shuer didn't bother to follow Da. Ke bickered, "The three of us went over to investigate. Your people have lost contact. It must be related to the big camp next door."

"Beifeng, Rock Core, Scorpion Stinger, and Wolf Fang, you four stay here." Among the full-time knights, Bei Feng is the most powerful in combat, Rock Core is the most defensive, Knight Scorpion Sting is the most thoughtful follower, and Scorpion Sting is the fastest follower. Knight Wolf Fang, these four people stay for protection, which is enough to deal with most attacks, not to mention the gold-level priest Lisa as a backing, an excellent healer, enough to allow the four people to exert a higher level of combat effectiveness, "Don't Leave the protected person, and if you encounter danger, give priority to protecting the members of the Dark Moon Temple, and then protect the parasites when you have enough time."

"clear."

Although they are knights who like to uphold justice, it can be seen that they can also distinguish the priorities and will not let their clients fall into danger for the sake of so-called justice.

"Now let's make it clearer, Shuer." After everything was arranged, Dak threw away the dough in his hand and asked the question he was most concerned about, "Marlene and the others...really fell into the ghost space?"

"We can't be sure yet, so we have to investigate. Only by seeing it in person can we make a judgment." Shuer sighed and said, "Even if it is an investigation, you must be careful. Don't forget, they are just going to investigate." Then he disappeared."

"Thank you." After a while of silence, Dak suddenly said thanks.

"Two grown men, can you stop being so disgusting?" Xiure moved to the side in disgust, "Stay away from me, you're a pervert."
