Hearing Neo's reminder, Elos rushed forward with his sword and chopped off the head of the dark cultist who was being demonized. However, this guy's instinctive consciousness was still there, and his body had mutated. When the sword fell, his left arm reacted strangely.
The angle is bent, the muscles of this arm are knotted, and even the sleeves are broken. Elos's sharp blade cannot cut it off.
Elos was anxious, and he raised his sword and swung it down again. Unfortunately, not only did he have no skills this time, but he also didn't have much accumulated strength. It was just like the scratching of a rough woman when she was acting crazy, so that the dark cultists didn't pay attention to it at all, and their arms were as strong as iron.
The whip was thrown horizontally, striking Elos's chest and abdomen
At this time, Neo arrived, put his foot on the side of Elos's hip, kicked him away, and narrowly avoided the attack of the dark cultist.
Choking! The sword in Neo's hand cut the dark cultist's head from the eye line, making a sound comparable to the clash of gold and iron, and even sparks splashed out at that moment.
Looking at the dark cultist's brain, which was as black as a walnut kernel, Neo was also secretly frightened. His arms were now numb and he could barely hold the sword.
"Yes, I'm sorry!" Elos got up and apologized. Neo's kick was very skillful and a little painful, but it did not hinder Elos's movements.
Neo smiled slightly, "For safety's sake, I think we should cut off the heads of these dark cultists."
"Yeah" Elos responded. Neo's tone was not bossy like that of a superior or powerful person, but there was an indescribable sense of calmness and rhythm that made it easy for people to be infected and accept his suggestions.
In addition to beheading, the two also naturally implemented the "mercenary convention": money and some gadgets belong to the battlefield sweeper, but important items must be handed over
Elos saw that Neo stayed for a long time next to the dark cultist who was stabbed to death by throwing his sword. He not only searched the body carefully, but also finally wrapped his head with a piece of robe torn from the body.
Seeing the doubt on Elos's face, Neo explained: "Maybe he is a potion master. Handing him over may be useful in tracking down those dark cultists."
"Oh! I found three pills sealed with beeswax here. They should be the magic potion for transformation." Elos said and handed it to Neo, along with three money bags.
Neo just picked the potion and said: "I am Neo Darkness. You can call me Neo. Let's go see your partner."
Although in the rumors of people from the Oud and Kells camps, everyone from nobles to commoners has the smell of copper in their pores, but in fact, there are still many people with straightforward and simple temperaments.
Neo didn't take the money bag, and Elos didn't hesitate too much. He introduced himself to Neo: "Elos, my companion Charles, we owe you our life."
Charles had woken up from his coma at this time. Hearing Elos's loud introduction, he smiled weakly at Neo.
Neo nodded to Ciel, squatted down to check his wound, raised his head and said to Elos: "We have to find a warmer place to help Ciel re-treat the wound."
Elos sniffed and said, "We have priests and doctors."
"Very good" he said and stood up, stopping Elros from trying to help Ciel up. "It's best for him to lie flat, wait a moment."
Neo sank into the snowy dark night like a night elf, and soon turned over. Two long logs tore off the deceased's clothes to make the simplest snow sledge. The two easily dragged the snow sledge carrying Ciel to Elos temporarily.
hiding place
It was a house facing the street, inconspicuous in a corner, but with a huge floor space. Inside, Neo saw earthen troughs and large bookshelf-like flower pot racks that had been moved aside, and identified several
Planting light-phobic herbs that are still green makes us guess that this may be someone’s herb cultivation room.
There are more than 30 people hiding here. It seems that several families have gathered together. They are obviously unaware of the evil blood sacrifice in the center of the square, and their relatives should be together. There is only some worry in their expressions, without sadness or fear.
"Hello, Neo, thank you very much for your rescue." The leader of these people is a middle-aged uncle with a thick but neatly trimmed beard. His name is Gordon, a lieutenant of the Sowers City Guards.
Although he has reached the peak age of a warrior, his steps are steady, his arms are strong, and his eyes are sharp, which is obviously the result of continuous practice.
Despite his status as a 'rebel' and a 'death-row prisoner', Neo is not too worried about being discovered. He is no longer as unkempt as he was in Xingtai. Moreover, he is magnanimous and has a certain degree of confidence in his own temperament, so his eyes are clear.
He didn't flinch or dodge at all. Even when Gordon said he looked familiar, he smiled calmly and said that he was a sword fighter.
"No wonder!" Elos looked at Neo with a bit of admiration for bloody fighting skills. Although cruel, it is a reflection of the social atmosphere. Martial arts and worship of the strong. An excellent gladiator is a popular star of this era.
, and the swordfighter is the most representative symbol of the trinity of strength, wisdom, and skill. He is more popular than the muscular man who only knows how to advance.
Neo's handsome face reveals a bit of wildness, but at the same time, his unique charm is very popular among people. Two girls even looked at him with admiration and affection.
In this crisis-ridden world, the kind of lingering and ups and downs of love is rare. Most emotional expressions are very straightforward. Women's reserve and shyness are mostly just right. Only those who are relatively well-off.
Only men and women from wealthy families create some so-called romances that are pointless, and at the same time, they correspond to all kinds of corruption that embody selfishness and indulgence.
A priest, to be precise, a trainee priest
A doctor, this one is somewhat famous in Sols, especially respected by a wide range of people. After all, the magic of priests is an expensive consumption compared to ordinary people, and it is often tied to faith.
The combination of priest + doctor allowed Charles to get through the dangerous period quickly. Charles's aunt, Gordon's wife, thanked Neo very ardently. Neo and Gordon were talking at that time
The situation outside
After learning about the situation outside, Gordon was inevitably depressed, and at the same time he was very happy. In this situation, Neo took out the potion and expressed some of his opinions.
"If the situation is like what you said, it would be really bad!" Gordon frowned tightly. The whole city was plundered and suffered heavy losses. Then there was a shortage of supplies and price hikes. The hidden wealth among the people
The dark cultists secretly sabotage, create rumors, and instigate troubles... This severe winter may see unprecedented depression and turmoil in Soles City.
"The past is in the past, and the key now is Asia." Doctor Todd came over and interjected: "This time Sols suffered a disaster, if Asia cannot dispatch supplies in time, riots will be inevitable, but I heard that Ah Asia
West Asia has been very unstable since autumn..."
I sighed in my heart: "The key is people. The minerals of Soles, the food of the golden fields, and the material reserves of Asia. Even if they look at the problem from a cold-blooded perspective of profit, the leaders of the alliance should treat it with great care.
The various problems that have occurred in these three places will otherwise damage the vitality of the entire alliance. They are all a major blow to the national strength, economic strength, and war potential of the entire alliance. What is depressing is the mutual constraints between the various participating forces in the Fury Alliance.
The entire Emerald is famous for trying to undermine each other, especially when the situation is unfavorable. Who is willing to harm one's own interests and benefit the public? This may be the fundamental reason why the devils picked up the Fury Alliance..."
Fonho didn't say this. There are many people who can see the problem, but there are too few who can come up with solutions and have the ability to solve the problem. He can't do it, and neither can Gordon. Saying it will only make people panic, and it will only increase the number of people.
trouble
At this moment, the young man responsible for observing the situation outside reported urgently that there were dark cultists coming here, and they also brought hounds with them.
"Quickly, block all the ventilation ducts and sprinkle kale powder at the entrance!" Gordon stood up and ordered in a deep voice.
Use cotton bags to block the ventilation ducts, and the "popularity" will not leak out. The basement is large enough, and you won't have to worry about breathing problems in a short time. Kale is a cheap herb that people use to eliminate odors in the room. Its fragrance cannot be obtained without special processing.
Before processing, some smoke is pungent, so it is good to deal with hounds with sensitive sense of smell.
Through the periscope equipped with lenses, Neo arrived at the enemies outside. Others thought they were attracted by the dark cultists killed by Neo and Elos. However, Neo deduced from the opponent's member structure that they
It's coming for him
"Right here!" The dark cultist who was followed by a hound pointed firmly at the house where Neo and others were hiding. The two hounds he brought were Terrest hounds with the blood of three-headed hell dogs. They could smell
The soul smell of the living, ordinary pungent smells that affect the sense of smell are useless
"Demolish it!" the dark cultist who was obviously the leader said with a serious tone.
Two strong men wearing only baggy shorts walked out behind the leader. As they walked, their bodies changed, and in a few seconds they turned into ferocious bear-men more than 3 meters tall.
Most ferocious beasts refer to beasts that are atavistic or 'prehistoric' due to bloodline problems. These ferocious bear-men also have similar characteristics, with scales and fur, rock horns and fangs. These two bears look fierce.
People rushed forward and waved their fists, and the house was quickly torn down and demolished like pieces of paper.
Gordon saw this scene from the periscope, and his horror could not be suppressed. During the conversation just now, Neo and Elos mentioned the demonization of the dark cultists to him. He didn't think anything of it at the time, but now it is completely the opposite, with a look in his eyes.
With a bit of despair, Gordon turned his eyes to Neo
Neo could only barely maintain his composure on the surface, "These guys are the real minions of the dark forces. Now we can only defend the entrance. I hope the Fury army that regained Solos City will not just fight from the south."
