The fierce attack led by Geer disrupted the attack rhythm of the entire horse bandits, and the people of Ingrid Church also reacted after a moment. Under the command of the woman who was obviously the leader, they opened the barrier and cooperated with Geer in a timely manner.
I launched a pincer attack on the horse bandits.
When the leader of the knight-level horse bandits finally stopped in front of Geer, the horse bandits were already in an uncontrollable panic, and their collapse was already in sight.
After the horse bandit leader and Geer fought hard, an arrow penetrated into the horse bandit leader's body from the armpit at the right time, causing his body to be stunned.
When he turned back and wanted to run, Geer had already caught up again. With a low roar, a bolt of steel lightning flashed across the neck of the horse bandit leader. With a hiss, the horse bandit leader's head flew far away and rolled away.
Entered the meadow.
Seeing that the most powerful leader was killed in battle, the remaining horse bandits dispersed and fled for their lives.
Geer nodded to the woman who was retracting her bow and expressed his gratitude. Then he pulled the reins, adjusted his direction and began to chase the horse bandits who had lost their will to fight.
Cooperating with the manpower of Ingrid Church, Geer and the others chased for about ten kilometers and killed nearly ten horse bandits. After making sure that the threat of these horse bandits was completely destroyed, they returned to the convoy with the cheering people.
location.
When Geer returned to the convoy, he found that his carriage had merged with the carriage of Ingrid Church, and Lucaline was talking to the female leader, while Brother Brian was talking to people from the church.
Clean the battlefield together.
"This is our captain Griezmann, and this is Carmelita, the priest of the Ingrid Church." Seeing Geer dismounting and walking over, Lucaline gave a brief introduction to both parties.
"Hello, thanks to your help today, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you and your companions." Carmelita extended her right hand to Geer, with an extremely calm expression on her face that was exposed to the sunlight on the side.
, as if she were a nun praying to a statue of a god, rather than a heroic Valkyrie galloping on the battlefield.
"It's just a coincidence." Geer also stretched out his hand, shook Carmelita's right hand briefly and then let go. A jade-like touch came from the short skin contact.
Being so close, Geer saw Carmelita's appearance clearly for the first time. It was an appearance that completely met the most perfect standards nowadays. Her face could only be held in one hand, and her porcelain-white skin looked like it was stained with roses.
The words of praise commonly used by troubadours, such as exposed lips, fit perfectly on her body. What attracted the most attention was her pair of pupils that seemed to reflect the green of early summer, which were deep and sparkling.
The greenness was so bright, I don’t know whether the surrounding green reflected in her pupils or whether her pupils dyed the surroundings green.
"Carmelita and the others' destination is the small town of Fogelstan in Emrock, which is consistent with our route. I have already agreed with Carmelita that we can join their convoy and move forward together. Let's go together.
, it can also be safer." Lucalin quietly inserted herself between the two of them and said calmly.
"Then I'm going to trouble you next." Geer also trusted Lucalin's arrangements.
"No, it's my honor to be able to help you." Carmelita showed a slight smile, but her voice was still cold.
There were many casualties in the church, and some things still needed Carmelita to deal with, so after the two sides chatted for a while, Carmelita resigned.
Geer walked to several of the horse thieves he had killed and looked for some wooden arrows that could still be used. Although most of the wooden arrows shot were broken to varying degrees due to quality issues, he still found two half-full wooden arrows.
The quiver also allowed him to recover some of the arrow reserves that he had used for so many days and were almost at the bottom.
The same goes for the people from Ingrid's Church. They only took some useful materials and coins from the bandits. As for their bodies, they did not need to be disposed of. Nature would naturally give them a fair destination.
After collecting the arrows, Geer pulled a horse belonging to the dead bandit owner back to his carriage as a backup.
Not long after, the Bryan brothers each came back with an ownerless horse carrying the supplies they had collected.
At this time, a soldier from the Ingrid Church came over.
"Get ready, let's go." After the soldiers left, Geer ordered his companions.
The convoy set off quickly, with four carriages lined up in a row, and soon left this bloody battlefield.
Not far away, everyone heard several wolf howls suddenly coming from behind.
"It's prairie wolves. They will eat all the corpses and leave nothing behind." Ida's voice entered the car along the car window, and soon disappeared amid the sound of the wheels.
…
One day later, somewhere in the middle of Mostington Grassland.
After driving slowly and hurriedly all night long, the convoy was far away from the battlefield, and Carmelita finally had time to deal with the bodies of her dead comrades.
night.
The convoy camped on a hill on the grassland and formed a circle to form a defensive camp.
Geer and his party were alone around a campfire, eating the food sent by Carmelita. Although it was not exquisite, it was much better than the dry food they originally prepared.
Not far away, a group of people from Ingrid Church were busy.
Bodies wrapped in white cloth were placed in a neat row on top of the firewood that had been placed in advance. The thick pile of firewood seemed to make the hill rise higher out of thin air.
"This is the funeral ceremony of Ingrid Church. Sir, Clemmy and I will go there for a moment." Ida quickly got rid of the food on her hands and picked up a lit piece of firewood by the bonfire.
"Yes." Geer nodded and watched as the Bryan brothers each held a lit firewood and joined Ingrid's church team.
After a brief collective prayer, the members of the church threw the burning sticks in their hands into the pile of corpses. The specially treated firewood suddenly burned violently, and the flames spread to the corpses above, burning bigger and bigger.
It was charred black and merged with everything around it.
The clear singing voice suddenly sounded, using a voice that Geer didn't understand. Although he couldn't understand it, the voice was as clear and clear as a spring in the mountains, dripping into the hearts of everyone present, feeling the sound in
Full of emotions.
Geer looked up and saw a beautiful white figure dancing in front of the funeral where the singing came from. She looked like an elf wandering in the world, but could not be touched from a distance, just like the incarnation of the moon goddess on the ground.
.
The people around him lowered their heads and recited the eulogy silently, and their low voices merged into waves of sound, magnificent and surging, rolling in all directions, but the singing was not affected by the sound waves at all and could still be clearly heard.
The eardrums of Geer and others bring people into the boundless world in the heart that can only be felt in solitude, and to feel things that most people ignore, as if even the soul is immersed in the gurgling stream, peaceful and distant
.
"It's amazing." Geer closed his eyes and felt the rare tranquility for a while, and couldn't help but praise.
"I have always heard that only the favored ones who are favored by the moon goddess Ingrid can become the church's official priestesses. Not only do they need to study theology for a long time, but they also need to learn martial arts that can defend the temple, whether it is a bow, a sword or a sword.
Riding skills must reach a very high level. In addition, candidate priestesses must go to some border villages to serve as teachers, doctors or agricultural technology instructors to complete their graduation experience. Sometimes they even become consultants to local officials, so they are candidates for the official selection.
Priestess is also involved in history, geography, mathematics, art, poetry and music theory, as well as medicine, planting, animal husbandry, and crafts.
However, the Priestess is prohibited from getting married and having children, which means that only pure women can become Priestesses of the Moon Goddess. Of course, once the Priestess gives up her qualifications and returns to the secular world, she can fall in love and get married freely. In the Elmrock area, Ingrid's return to secular goddess
Officials have always been the most popular marriage partner for local nobles..." Lucaline suddenly began to explain, with hints in her words.
Geer and Lucalin looked at each other, smiled, did not reply, closed their eyes, and felt the peaceful world again.
