Chapter 308 Ambush (asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets)



Leiter shook his head and said, "Neither, because in a while, I will have something for you, maybe you will be interested."

"Half a month is a bit long..." Hepaster frowned, then relaxed his brows after a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, half a month is half a month, I'll just deduct it from the time I spend refining the potion for you, don't blame me if it's delayed in the future."

Lei Te's mouth curled up: "Thank you, Lord Haipast Tower!"

Five days later.

Rhett and Locke rode faster and faster, and in the evening they stopped again. At this time, the blue sky disappeared into shadows, and the moon gradually became brighter and brighter against the stars.

They had just passed through a muddy wetland, leaving long trails of mud behind them, but under Rhett's mental control, any abnormal earth elements returned to their original state.

"Wait, Rhett, I feel something unusual ahead!"

Locke was the first to stop. He closed his eyes, frowned, but his nose twitched slightly. The wind flowing between heaven and earth passed by him, bringing with it traces left by all things.

Rhett looked at Locke. He knew that the Wind Sky Knights could capture more information based on the flow of wind. That was why almost all the scouts were Wind Knights—they moved fast and were good at detecting intelligence.

Half a minute later, Locke opened his eyes, his face a little serious, and said, "Ten kilometers away, there was a small-scale battle about half an hour ago, with about four hundred people."

Lei Te asked hurriedly: "Can you confirm who it is? Is there any smell of orcs among them?"

"The distance is a bit far, and we can't be sure who the target is, but we can be sure that there are no orcs!" Locke's face turned a little ugly when he said this.

“No orcs?!” Rhett’s face suddenly became horrified, and he pretended to be doubtful and said, “If there are no orcs, who are those soldiers fighting against? The place ahead is the place that Ledros and I agreed on. Those soldiers are undoubtedly the elite of the Sixth Legion... Do you think it is possible that they are the orcs of the Sanctuary...”

"That's impossible!" Locke took a deep breath and consoled him, "Based on the concentration of the Qi and blood and the breadth of the scattered aftertaste, the battle lasted for quite a while, at least half an hour. So, it's impossible that the Holy Domain took action, otherwise, the Holy Domain would have resolved the battle within a few minutes."

Lei Te nodded and said, "That's right, let's go to the scene and take a look."

Locke had a puzzled look in his eyes, and was very curious about who the enemy was. It couldn't be a traitor inside...

With uneasy thoughts in mind, Locke rushed ahead. He was faster than Rhett and arrived at the battlefield first.

Locke took in the scene in front of him, and a trace of horror exploded in his eyes. The ground was littered with broken arms and corpses, and hundreds of elite knights of the Sixth Legion fell in a pool of blood. Most importantly, many people's bodies had their internal organs or brains dug out. Although the blood around was thick, Locke had been through many battles, and after keen observation, the blood did not match the normal number of hundreds of people.

"Dead, all dead!" Locke muttered to himself, his breathing becoming heavy.

Suddenly, his eyes swept across a huge sword buried among the corpses. This was the sword used by Ledros. He had seen it before and remembered it very clearly! Locke felt an indescribable grief in his heart. He walked forward with difficulty, taking every step very carefully so as not to step on the bodies of any soldiers.

Not long after, when Rhett arrived, he saw Locke sitting powerlessly on the ground in front of him. The deep darkness enveloped the battlefield, making it look so lonely.

Then he noticed the mutilated body and the broken armor next to Locke. The familiar outline made his heart tremble, and he looked around in horror.

Looking at the soldiers who had lost their internal organs and heads, Leiter was shocked and sad. He knew in his heart that it must have been done by the Blood God's men! But what he never expected was that nothing had happened in the last simulation, and this time, Ledros was only delayed for a while, but he suffered.

Seeing Lei Te approaching with a sad face, Locke forced a smile and said, "Leite, I know your legion commander died in the battle. You must feel very bad. I understand..."

"How long ago did this battle take place..."

Leiter's voice was cold, interrupting Locke's consolation. He looked at Ledros's body, feeling angry and scared, but also a little relieved...

Locke looked at Leiter with a complicated expression and sighed, but still gave his own analysis: "Based on the stiffness of the corpse and the breath of the wind, the war should have broken out five hours ago."

After saying this, Locke stood up and pointed to the southwest. "I can sense that they are heading in that direction. It is difficult to completely erase the blood that is stained with so much blood. The wind has already told me the answer. If we chase them now, we may have a chance to avenge Ledros!"

"No need, I will save this tragedy..."

Leiter shook his head and looked up at the starry sky. In Locke's puzzled eyes, he muttered softly:

“Let’s end it…”

The words fell.

A ripple quickly spread out, and the scene around it changed rapidly.

The bloody battlefield around him disappeared in an instant, the stars and the moon retreated, the cold wind whistled, and the sun shone on every inch of Leiter's back. The slightly rising temperature made Leiter realize that this was the real world.

[The real simulation is over. Please select an attribute you want to keep. ]

【1. Constitution】

[2. Fighting]

【3. Mental strength】

"three."

After silently making his choice, Rhett watched the light screen in front of him disappear and glanced at the surrounding scene. He was at a checkpoint on the cold current defense line.

That’s right, the tragedy just now only happened in a simulation.

In Leiter's opinion, realistic plans inherently carry certain risks. After leaving the Sixth Legion's temporary base, Leiter considered this and planned to rehearse the operation in a real simulation to avoid any accidents with Ledros and his soldiers who were marching ahead of schedule, and to avoid anyone noticing anything unusual when dealing with the bodies of the pale knights.

"Now it seems... this idea is absolutely right..."

Rhett muttered to himself, quickening his pace and rushing to the camp as fast as possible.

To be on the safe side, he did not forget to start the [Real Simulation] again. After all, his action had not been successful yet and he still needed an additional insurance.

After entering the cold current camp and meeting Hepaster, after a brief greeting, Rhett quickly stated his request and got his consent.

But this time, he suddenly had an idea and said again:

"Master Hepast Tower, I have one last request. Later... can you quickly take me to the vicinity of Red Ridge Slope? I have other tasks to perform and I am a little pressed for time, so I need your help."

Haipast said in surprise: "Red Ridge Slope? Isn't it only a thousand kilometers away from the cold current defense line? For you, you should be able to get there in one day, right?"

Hypast shook his head and said, "Well... there's nothing I can do about you. Just stand still..."

Rhett did as he was told and did not move. The next moment, he felt an endless stream of water elements moving towards him. An icy aura filled the air, as if it was about to condense into ice crystals to wrap around him.

He said hurriedly: "Wait a moment, I have another comrade..."

Hypast stopped moving, and the surging water element instantly receded like a tide, and the surroundings immediately returned to normal. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll give you one last chance, and say all your requests in one breath..."

Lei Te smiled awkwardly: "No more, that's all."

Hypaste: Rhett intentionally set the location in Red Ridge Mountains. He wanted Hypaste to bring them here, which would save most of the day's effort and ensure that they arrived in time, thus preventing Ledros's team from being killed.

At this moment, Leiter was in a good mood as he looked at the red ridges around him. After the ice around his body melted, he said to Hepast:

"Master Hypasta, I will remember this favor!"

Hypast shook his head and smiled, "Then kill more orcs to pay it back. I'll go back first. By the way, remember our agreement. If I don't see you in ten days, I will leave directly."

"Please rest assured, I will keep my promise!"

After Rhett finished speaking, he saw Hypaster nodded, and then his body dispersed into water mist and disappeared into the air.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, his eyes were full of amazement. Is this the method used by the Holy Land? It was truly magical!

At this time, Locke came over, looked at Leiter with a different look, and said: "Leite, I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with the Lord of the Hypast Tower that you are willing to send us here in person. But then again, why don't you let him take us directly to the destination, but here?"

Lei Te said casually: "What's the difference between sending it directly to the destination and helping us complete this mission directly? This is against the rules."

“That’s right. Let’s get on the road quickly. Perhaps we can reach the meeting point earlier than Ledros and the others!”

"Well, time is running out, we must race against time!"

Four days later.

The two men stopped, and Rhett took off his earth armor and got off Locke's back.

This time it was Leiter who called a halt. He recognized the surrounding terrain. In the last simulation, the battle took place here. The distribution of earth elements on the ground, the shape of the rocks, the types of grass and trees, were all exactly the same! Locke looked around and whispered, "Is this the meeting point? It seems that we really arrived before them..."

As he finished speaking, he twitched his nose slightly and subconsciously sniffed the scent in the wind.

The next moment, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes. He deliberately pretended to be nonchalant, stretched himself, and gently moved his fingers on his head.

"Leite, I'm really a little tired after running all the way here..."

As the ordinary words reached his ears, when Rhett caught Locke's hand movement out of the corner of his eye, his heart suddenly jumped. That seemingly natural gesture was actually the code they had agreed upon in advance - there were enemies ambushing around!

Lei Te was alert in his heart, but he looked calm on the surface. He said casually: "Are you tired? How about we find a place to rest first? There are rocks all around. You can pick one that you like and we can sit over there..."

"The rock in front that looks like a mouse is good."

Following the direction of Locke's finger, Rhett saw two dark-colored stones, wrapped in a cluster of black plants, which were indeed not very conspicuous.

But this simple exchange had already let him know that the three Pale Knights not only arrived early, but were also hiding there.

Leiter's heart was filled with murderous intent, even though he didn't know whether he and Locke could deal with the three pale knights. But this was a simulation, he was fearless, he could give it a try! So he walked forward slowly, his mental power was highly concentrated and spread out, and he cast a magic spell right below the dark rock - Quicksand!

Whoosh whoosh

A quicksand formation covering an area of ​​several hundred meters was quickly formed, but what condensed faster than the quicksand technique was three ghostly figures that suddenly jumped out from the ground.

It was divided into three directions: upper, upper right, and upper left, forming a triangle and surrounding Rhett and Locke.

“So fast!”

When Locke saw this speed, his face suddenly changed. Although this speed was not as good as when he used the extreme speed mystery, it was definitely faster than any wind knight he had seen without using the mystery.

"Which legion are you from and why are you here?"

Locke sensed that the newcomers had ill intentions, but he still wanted to know the identities of these three people first.

The three men looked pale, but they were all wearing red light armor, their eyes were filled with madness and murderous intent, and one of them said hoarsely: "The dead don't need to know so much..."

"Hmph, you are so arrogant. I am not interested in the identity of the dead!" Locke narrowed his eyes slightly and responded unwillingly. The rapier in his hand glowed green and he said quickly, "Rhett, help me limit the opponent's speed. Let's focus on one first!"

"good!"

As soon as the word "good" came out of his mouth, Rhett cast his second magic - the Earth Dragon Technique!

The ground was shaking crazily, and the earth elements were gathering under his feet. Lei Te stood in the same place, but his position kept rising. A huge earth dragon quickly gathered and appeared under Lei Te's feet, and Lei Te stood high on the back of the earth dragon, looking down at the three people on the ground.

"Locke, be careful, I feel these three people are a little weird..." Rhett warned cautiously.

"Hmm!" There was a hint of solemnity in Locke's eyes. He also felt that the fluctuations of the fighting spirit of these three people were indescribably strange, and different from all the knights he had met in the past.

"Hummingbird sting!"

Locke jumped into the air with a tip of his toes, and then chaotic wind-type fighting spirit erupted around his body. He moved around as fast as a hummingbird, but erratic.

A pale knight with scars all over his face faced the sword that was too fast to be seen clearly. The muscles of his body wrapped in armor throbbed, and blood-colored air flowed through countless pores. This air flow was drawn and condensed on a small round shield in his hand, and the entire shield surface suddenly became evil.
