Chapter 8 : Mercenaries, Wiped Out
“These motherfuckers.”
Reid spat fiercely in the direction that everyone had left.
With just this bit of guts, they still wanted to hang out with him!
When he returned, he would think of a way to replace them all.
However, staying here was not a solution.
Reid’s eyes rolled.
Perhaps he was still in the periphery of the territory. Those Dark Elves who knew Forbidden Spells were just guards in charge of patrolling!
As long as he could go deeper into the territory...
...
In the gloomy forest.
Many injured Knights supported each other as they walked back to the camp.
“Captain, is he crazy? There are so many Forbidden Spellcasters in this godforsaken place, yet he still dares to stay here.”
The Knight at the side covered his cast arm in pain and followed the horse with difficulty.
“Captain, you know what’s wrong with you. You can’t move when you see a woman.”
“If you see a Dark Elf, don’t even think about pulling him away.”
The red-haired Knight’s face darkened.
As the only healthy person in the team, he was responsible for leading the group of disabled Knights on his horse.
He was naturally treated as the new leader.
“This commission is really unlucky. Not only did I not earn a single cent, but I even had to pay for the medical fees.”
Thinking of this, the red-haired Knight cursed again.
“Damn it, the next time I work with this guy, I’m a dog.”
“After we return to the camp, we’ll pack up and leave! We don’t care if that guy is dead or alive!”
“Good!”
“I agree!”
The surrounding Knights also agreed.
“Since that’s the case, brothers, let’s speed up!”
The red-haired Knight clamped his legs on the horse’s belly and let go of the horse’s reins.
“Let’s hurry up and return to the camp to rest!”
“Good!”
Under the encouragement of the red-haired Knight, everyone in the team gritted their teeth and forced themselves to walk forward.
“You guys are too slow.”
A delicate figure appeared behind everyone.
Ai Qing appeared behind the Knights impatiently.
She had been waiting in the camp for almost an hour.
Why were these people only halfway there now?
“Oh no, there’s an enemy!”
The red-haired Knight immediately drew his sword and nervously stared at the Dark Elf that had suddenly appeared in front of him.
The surrounding Knights also drew their weapons and aimed at Ai Qing!
“Everyone, don’t be afraid. Although the Dark Elves more or less know some Forbidden Spells, as long as the few of us work together, we will definitely be able to destroy her!
The leader of the red-haired Knights was already covered in sweat, but he still held the sword in his hand tightly and had no intention of retreating.
It was obvious that it was impossible to kill a Forbidden Spellcaster with the sword in his hand.
However, the red-haired Knight had no other choice!
“Drink up!
The red-haired Knight’s eyes turned cold. He tightened his grip on the reins of his horse and the rapier in his hand as he charged at Ai Qing!
“Huh? What do you want?”
Ai Qing frowned. The disgust for Humans in her eyes had reached its peak.
These despicable flies had barged into their territory without permission.
Now, he even wanted to fight her with his sword!
Sister was indeed too benevolent to them!
Ai Qing did not show any fear in the face of the charging Knights.
She reached out and pulled out an ancient papyrus from her pocket, holding it high in front of the Knight.
Although he didn’t know what the Dark Elf in front of him was doing.
However, a piece of paper could not stop his extremely sharp sword!
Even Forbidden Spellcasters were mortals.
She would still die after being stabbed hard enough.
The red-haired Knight lowered his body and lowered his center of gravity. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and stabbed Ai Qing!
However, just as the blade was about to touch Ai Qing’s body...
Ai Qing’s fingers gently twisted on the paper.
The seeds on the papyrus grew crazily under the intensification of magic power!
A moment later, a sturdy wooden shield appeared in Ai Qing’s hand!
The red-haired Knight was unable to dodge, and the sword in his hand was firmly embedded in the shield!
What happened just now?
The red-haired Knight’s eyes widened.
The person in front of him clearly did not use a Forbidden Spell or chant an incantation.
historical
Where did the shield in his hand come from?
Could it be that... the paper in her hand was actually a Forbidden Spell scroll?
The red-haired Knight tightened his grip on the reins and backed away in fear.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
Forbidden spells could not be written!
This was common sense that everyone tacitly acknowledged now.
Almost all Forbidden Spellcasters passed down their incantations by word of mouth.
Even the only person in the West Laden Empire could only chant an incantation and not write it.
Could it be...
These Dark Elves had mastered the true way to write Forbidden Spells?
The red-haired Knight felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His entire body turned cold.
‘Surely not?’
That thing had been lost for tens of thousands of years.
How could the Dark Elves know?
These Forbidden Spell scrolls were definitely created by them by accident!
“Yawn...”
Ai Qing yawned nonchalantly and tossed the shield in her hand aside.
“Are you done? It’s my turn now.”
Ai Qing giggled. She took out a few pieces of papyrus from her pocket and walked towards the people in front of her.
She had long disliked these flies!
“With me around, don’t even think about hurting them!”
Seeing that the situation was critical, the red-haired Knight gritted his teeth and rode his horse resolutely. He used his body to ram into Ai Qing!
However, the moment they approached,
The red-haired man inexplicably felt that his speed seemed to have slowed down.
A thick layer of frost had formed on his eyelashes.
It was so cold...
The Knights who were injured looked at the red-haired Knight who had turned into an ice sculpture in horror.
Fear, amazement, numbness.
All sorts of uneasiness spread through the crowd.
Everyone kept retreating, the sword in their hands trembling.
“Stay back! Stay back!”
No one wanted to end up like the red-haired Knight!
“Why are you in such a hurry? I still have so many scrolls that I haven’t tried yet.”
Ai Qing shook the various Elemental Scrolls in her hands and pounced on the crowd in front of her with a sinister smile.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh...!”
Terrifying screams sounded from the forest, startling a group of birds into flying into the distance.
What the hell are these idiots doing?
Reid, who had already stepped into the hinterland, frowned and looked at the camp in the distance.
It was so noisy.
Hmph, he must have encountered some wild beast?
If they had followed him obediently back then, wouldn’t he have been fine?
There were many beauties following him.
In fact, he might even be able to catch one and bring it back!
Although beautiful women were good, but...
Why was there a man here?
Reid looked at Fang Ping, who was surrounded by many beauties, in disgust.
