Oops, I became the witch's substitute

Originally everything was going according to plan, but today the plan was suddenly broken. Not only did they fail to recruit the promised soldiers, but the marching schedule was also accelerated: "But, are you sure you want to leave the baggage cart at the border and march with only seven days of food? In this way, we may have just arrived at Kalan and the supplies will be exhausted. It is not certain whether there will be a battle during this period."

Filin did not explain the matter of Scathach to the mercenaries, but only said that a worse massacre had occurred in Kalan, and now the march was a helpless move: "The lord there asked us for help. We only need to save one more person in the outer area. As for the subsequent supplies, magic will be used for long-distance transfer at that time."

Yue Lan asked: "Are you sure it is reliable? Transfer magic is quite...luxurious."

Her tone did not question, just confirm.

Filin thought about the dragon and showed absolute confidence in front of the mercenaries: "Transfer magic is just a matter of money, which is the best solution for us."

Yue Lan immediately touched his chest and saluted: "No doubt, sir."

This is the good thing about having money. It's good for her and me.

Serena looked at the armed group she had recruited, and felt a sense of satisfaction. At the same time, she felt a little bit of the reality of being a knight, or the reality of being rich.

The same is true for knights. She has seen some knights in the arena accidentally kill or injure their horses during the competition. When the horses died, they were as desperate as if they were bankrupt. It was really pitiful. But with the help of Filin, she had a car, people and horses, and she was very satisfied.

"If we can achieve some success, Filin, you should apply for honor from the Miriam royal family and obtain the title of this country."

During the fast march, Serena did not forget to talk to Filin.

When Filin heard this, a little embarrassment flashed across his face. He really came to be a spy, but he was not really a spy. It would be a little embarrassing to obtain the status of a noble, and the family would come to get in the way.

"My situation is special, and there is no need to obtain honor. In addition to looking for Scathach this time, I also have the idea of ​​pursuing my opponent." Filin told the truth.

Serena felt the same way and admired him: "It's really depressing. You are talented and hardworking. How can I catch up with you? Can I continue to move forward after reaching your level?"

Filin told the truth: "Of course it is the path to achievement, to become a godhead. Just listening to the title, you can understand that it has the strength to be on par with the current gods. In order to pursue this kind of power, the world has tried every possible way."

Serena asked for advice: "I heard that some people are heroes all their lives. Is it very difficult to become a godhead?"

Not only did Feilin roll his eyes at Serena, but even Yue Lan, who was riding a horse with her, cast a depressed look at her. She asked this question.

Yue Lan: "………………"

Filin pouted: "Your question is very... cute."

Serena was puzzled: "Why?"

Filin sighed: "Well, to be honest, it's naive and silly."

If a godhead is an enemy, it is equivalent to admitting bad luck if you encounter it. If it is a teammate, it will be extremely reliable and absolutely safe.

Flin briefly told Serena about the number of divine beings in the surrounding countries. The Holy Kingdom of Arius is known as the Seven Heroes, all of whom are divine beings, but they are all inherited fragments of divine beings, and can only be counted as half. This is why Miriam was not suppressed after she began her rise.

Even as powerful as Flin's homeland, Strahl, there are only six naturally promoted divine beings, and there are more than 20 other inherited divine beings of the next level.

"Hecate is a true divine being. The immortal species has this obvious advantage. After becoming the strongest, they can maintain their existence for a long time." After Flin finished speaking, he deliberately showed off, "Look at Fili, too. As a divine being, she is extremely powerful. Even star beasts can be seriously injured with one blow. All forces will give her face when they see her."

In addition to Dorothy who has come to Miriam now, this country has three demon female beings, and has become the strongest country in the surrounding area. It is also the confidence of the Miriam royal family to support Kalan without fear of revenge.

Justice is justice, and the Miriam royal family pays great attention to its international image.

"However, just because there are so many Godheads introduced to you all of a sudden doesn't mean it's easy to become a Godhead. There are people who become heroes at the age of 20, but fail to become a Godhead in 300 years. Such people are everywhere, and you can understand how rare Godheads are." Feilin sighed. He was very anxious. There is an insurmountable gap between heroes and true Godheads. If you can't advance on the path, you will never reach the door in your life.

Serena is obsessed with being strong: "Why? To be able to achieve from an ordinary person to a hero, shouldn't you see the way forward clearly, practice step by step, and step into the threshold of the strongest day by day?"

Filin raised his right hand and gestured in the air: "The problem with the Godhead is mystery and unknown. There is a saying in the magic world that you can't know what you don't know. Doesn't it sound like nonsense? In other words, you can't know how to become a Godhead on your own path. Do you remember some of the theories I taught you before? If you don't learn the knowledge of the use of magic power and rely on your own research, how long will it take to understand it?"

Serena understood a little: "This is why there are so many strong people in big countries. That's right. If you don't tell me a lot of magic knowledge, I can't figure it out even if I try my best."

At this time, Yue Lan, who was traveling with him, had a different voice: "Why do you only talk about magic power? If you want to become stronger, you can also rely on momentum."

As a Riel mercenary, Yuelan is an absolute warrior. Although he is a warrior and claims to use momentum, the power everyone uses is basically "energy". Different names do not hinder mutual understanding.

Feilin looked at Yuelan: "Then you should also have a saying of Yin and Yang, the unity of heaven and man. By analogy with the path of the magic world, you are improving the artistic conception, although you understand the path from another direction. The essence, but it will not change the difficulty of promotion. As far as I know, there is only one godhead in the current generation, and the other four are successors.”

Yuelan frowned slightly: "I just recommend it. Miss Serena's sword skills have obviously been refined over time. I'm afraid she has done repeated exercises day and night and never slackened off. The use of muscles, steps, and strength is more suitable for sensing the breath." "

Feilin disagreed: "People's perception of power is also the composition of their own three views. Serena grew up in an environment influenced by the magic world, so she naturally has to focus on magic power. As for your theory, you can learn from it. But from From my point of view, you are too obsessed with pure strength and skills and rely on intuition and momentum, which has restricted the younger generations and turned them into tool men who can only carry weights. "

During the conversation, the team rushed to a steep mountain range. In order to walk a straight line on the map, Serena decided to let everyone rest temporarily and directly climb over the mountains later. Otherwise, the detour would delay the trip for two or three days.

Taking this opportunity, Yuelan suddenly came into conflict with Feilin.

"I would like to ask for your advice, Mr. Feilin." Yuelan did not intend to rest, but asked Feilin to make an appointment. This is what Wuren is not good at, he has a straight temper.

Yuelan cut down a tree on the spot, kept a section for herself, and threw a section to Feilin. If any weapons came to her, she would repair it quickly.

Feilin came out this time with a long gun and a bright silver gun. When he saw Yuelan's provocation, he couldn't help but mutter that this was wrong. How could a Riel mercenary have the habit of provoking his employer?

Not only Feilin thought so, other Riel people couldn't help but frown when they saw Yuelan's actions. Obviously they didn't agree with Yuelan's actions.

But it didn't matter. The two quickly sharpened their wooden weapons and quickly prepared for the battle. Feilin did not use any ability. Facing Yuelan's fierce attack, the two fought for seven or eight rounds and completed the killing.

This is just a martial arts skill that Feilin spent his time in hiding.

"It looks like it's a tie. We have equal strength." Yue Lan didn't seem satisfied with the result.

Felin shrugged: "If it were a real weapon, you would have died long ago."

The people nearby felt that they had watched a good show. When they heard Feilin's provocation, someone whistled and waited to watch the show.

Yuelan frowned, thinking that Feilin was being tough: "Then use real weapons."

Feilin looked at the surrounding soldiers. They had almost rested, and they still remembered to rush to Kalan, but Yuelan was a little bit irritated, so she had to be cured.

Seeing this, Feilin didn't say anything, but asked Yuelan to get ready again.

"Okay, then I'll be a little more serious."

Feilin raised his wooden gun and looked at Yuelan: "Let's get started."

Yuelan raised the wooden sword and was about to attack, but at this moment she saw Feilin turning around and exposing her back. When she thought this was a good opportunity to attack, Feilin raised the wooden gun in his hand high and pushed it behind her. Turning around like a spinning top, the wooden spear stabbed straight at Yuelan at an incredible speed. Before Feilin could turn around, the wooden spear had already penetrated Yuelan's throat.

I am dead……?

Yue Lan touched her neck in disbelief.

Touching your neck?

When Yuelan came back to her senses, she realized that she was not dead. The impression that she had just been penetrated through the throat was just an illusion. The speed and murderous intent caused her to have the illusion of being killed. Even so, Yuelan was still in an embarrassed posture. Leaning against the tree trunk, head tilted slightly.

Because when Feilin turned around completely, the wooden gun had already grazed Yue Lan's face and penetrated the tree trunk. This was a standard return rifle move.

Feilin looked down at Yuelan: "Do you understand the power of your ancestors?"

Yuelan staggered again, sweat broke out on his forehead, and Feilin also let go of the hand holding the gun and walked past Serena.

"Well, you see, just now it's the difference between training, competition and killing. Although you have some strength now, you lack such skills."

"...I have learned a lesson." Serena said with sincere admiration. She imagined that she had prepared her sword and shield. Even so, she might not have time to defend against Felin's carbine.

What's even more frightening is that even though she already knows the information and has seen Feilin's technique of using this move, Serena simulates the battle with Feilin in her mind, and she doesn't know the timing of his use of this move.

After this competition and showing his strength, he will be better able to lead these conscripted soldiers, including mercenaries. Felin's status in the army surpassed Serena, and Serena didn't care.

After crossing the mountains and setting up camp to rest, at night, Filmin patrolled to check on the soldiers on duty, and suddenly discovered that Serena had found him.

"Aren't you going to rest? You are the leader of the team."

Serena hesitated for a moment. There was no one around, so she gestured to Felin's movements yesterday.

"Can you teach me that move?"

"That's not something you can learn easily."

"At least I want to know, and I'm not that stupid. You can teach me at least once..."

After Serena finished speaking, she looked at Felin carefully. The usually tough female knight was now like a hamster: "Is that okay?"

Filin nodded silently, and took advantage of the time to teach Serena. Although there were some movements of supporting the waist and pinching the hands, there was no romantic feeling. One taught seriously, and the other learned seriously.

Jiu Kaiyiba led the rescue of Lingjiu

What's more, Fili's consciousness crossed the mountains one step earlier than the team. Fili used the magic of swift movement in succession, strengthened the jump over the mountain, and used sliding to go down the mountain. When the magic power was insufficient, she absorbed it from Fili who had rested enough. On the map, she walked in a straight line and approached the vicinity of Kalan in one day.

During the rest, Fili took out Morgana's pendant. If you think about it, you will feel it. Scathach seems to have entered Kalan. This may be the worst possibility.

Chapter 122 Encounter

After a short battle, Yue Lan has been much more obedient. Originally, the Riel mercenaries were known for their quietness and silence. Now there is no objection to the leadership of Selena and Fili.

"We have entered Kalan. Let's go here next." Serena opened the map and pointed to a town in the northeast. This is the town closest to their location in the old map. According to previous expectations, the border area should still be safe. "Is there anything to pay attention to?"

Serena asked for Filin's opinion after she finished speaking. She seemed to have such a habit now.

"I don't know Kalan either, but from now on, don't let your guard down. When arranging sentinels, at least let two Riel people participate." Filin said this because Fili had already entered Kalan.

The situation in this country is not to say that it is in dire straits, but it is almost a disaster.

The border area is barely okay. Entering the central area is full of wars. Humans and monsters are fighting constantly. The village is in danger. Fili has seen six villages, five of which were slaughtered, and the sixth one was left with only the elderly, the weak and the disabled. The situation of human settlements that are larger than the village has not improved at all.

Although for ordinary people, Kalan is already a dangerous forbidden land, where every step may cost lives and monsters are rampant, there is also a glimmer of hope. Reinforcements and volunteers from various countries are gathering from afar. No matter what the purpose is, it shows that the justice pursued in people's hearts has not disappeared.

Yue Lan heard the conversation between the two and immediately commanded his companions: "I will arrange the shifts now."

Everyone walked to a forest section, and through the forest was the town. Everyone looked up at the bright sunshine, but vaguely felt the strange mist in the forest. The sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves, but no birds, beasts or insects could be heard in the forest.

The most talkative mercenary in the team also quieted down at this time, holding his weapon tightly, and people felt that their flesh and blood had become more popular than ever before.

Filin rode at the front of the team, followed by Serena, Yue Lan and other mercenaries. The deeper they went, the more surprised everyone was at Filin's perception ability. Filin's direction of travel seemed random, but it was indeed the most suitable road for walking. Sometimes turning left and right could avoid thorny obstacles.

At this moment, Filin stopped. Before everyone heard any sound, they saw Filin raise his hand and clench his fist. The soldiers on the periphery immediately drew their weapons.

The next second, there was a sound from the bushes. The team heard the sound of weapons sliding. There was more than one sound. The soldiers quickly pierced dozens of giant spiders that pounced down from the trees. Some javelins even nailed the monsters to a high place.

"It's some crouching spiders, sir. It's rare for each one to be so big." No one was injured. It was tantamount to suicide for these low-level monsters to attack the fully armored infantry. This team was full of experienced players.

In the previous life, the larger beasts, wolves, tigers and leopards would eat people. What's wrong with monsters eating people in this world? The enlarged version of various insects is a major type of monster. They are very common in forest areas. The crouching spider is a group of spiders the size of mastiffs. When they go out in groups, they will drag any living thing back to their nest. Their queen can be as long as seven or eight meters.

Just this little movement, some soldiers didn't even have the time to wipe their swords.

"Keep going."

Looking at Filin's back, Yue Lan was particularly surprised. She was also a strong person, and this level of ambush was no problem. But her experience came from the Spartan education of her elders since she was a child, and a woman who stood out from a group of men had to work several times harder. She mastered all the skills that supported her mercenary career. It was her job to lead the way in the forest, but Filin had not shown outstanding magic talent so far. How did he do it?

They were all the same age, and Serena had the same feeling, but she knew a lot about Filin, got used to it, and didn't roll.

The team continued to move forward and found a swamp in the forest. When they avoided it perfectly, Filin raised his hand again, and the team entered a defensive posture. Filin patted the shoulders of the two Raven mercenaries and pointed to an inconspicuous corner. The two mercenaries realized something, took out javelins from their backs, looked at each other, and shot at the same time, throwing accurately.

At this moment, scarlet plasma burst out in the water, and the two lurking giant crocodiles struggled painfully, but could not escape the fate of death.

"Do we still need to go from here?"

"This is the fastest route. There are no monsters nearby for the time being. The left side is the boundary of the swamp. The others follow and we will pass through here quickly."

The suffering in the forest did not end. Given the state of the Kalan region, it was so troublesome to find a town from the border. After passing the swamp, Filin and his friends ran into a pack of wolves living there and stared at each other for a long time.

There was a white wolf in the middle of the pack, lying on the ground as tall as a person, with slightly shiny fur, thick and tough. Sensing the presence of humans, the wolves stood up and showed a vigilant posture.

The soldiers were naturally not used to wild animals. The front row held guns and shields, and the back row pulled bows and arrows.

What kind of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is this? In fact, this is the norm in the primitive forests of this world. Small countries do not have enough power to clear out wild beasts and monsters.

"Wait a minute." Feilin rode forward and slowly released his magic power. The wolves felt the pressure.

The white wolf pricked up his ears, raised his head and roared, then slowly turned around and jumped away. The wolves followed and quickly disappeared into the forest.

"Although it is not a threat, it also avoids trouble." Serena saw this scene and couldn't help but praise.

But Flin frowned: "In fact, this is the real trouble. Someone in this area deliberately summoned monsters and attracted wild beasts. Although we haven't found evidence yet, as we continue to go deeper, we may find the altar and the magic potion bag."

Fili is accelerating the grasp of the specific situation in the Kalan area. Fili is looking for Scathach with the help of Morgana's pendant. She feels that the location is very close, and the dragon stone is in Flin's hand, because the dragon stone can also sense Scathach's location. When it senses with Fili, the two lines intersect and can detect more accurately.

Scathach is now wandering around for unknown reasons. The demons didn't notice that there was an extra dragon on the land. Flin guessed that the reason they needed Scathach was also closely related to the dragon stone. Finding the little girl is the first priority.

For the disaster in Kalan, help if you can, leave if you can't help. What can you do when you encounter an enemy you can't beat?

The town on the map is very close, and the team is about to leave the woods. In the place where the trees are sparse, Serena saw the edge line at dusk with smoke and dust that can't be blown away.

"Filin, look over there."

"I see, it's a signal fire."

A trace of worry flashed across Feilin's brows. He was never merciful to his enemies, but he always had concerns about his own side. He didn't like anyone he had met to have misfortune happen to him. Maybe it was just sentimentality and hypocrisy. He didn't want to face the families of the soldiers he recruited if one of them died easily.

But so what? This is the world.

"The town was attacked, everyone be prepared!"
