Chapter 42 Chapter 42
Walking in the direction of the screams, the middle-aged man had his own plans.
Logically speaking, there are several situations for screaming, and since the person making the sound is a man, there are fewer situations.
First of all, this is the forest, the man may have encountered some danger.
If he was in danger, although he was already in danger, he might be able to help.
Secondly, the place where the voice came from may be a team. If it is a team, then the possibility of the caravan being rescued is higher.
It took only a moment to think, and the middle-aged man had already made up his mind.
The distance between this caravan and Keriya and the others was not far, so Keriya would only show a serious expression when he heard the chaotic and rapid footsteps.
He heard that these footsteps didn't seem to pass here, they should have passed by their side, but now O'Neill's screams revealed their position.
Looking at O'Neill's actions now, Keria probably understood what the other party wanted to do before.
O'Neill probably wanted to blame him for his injuries, so he stabbed himself.
Unknowingly, people tend to sympathize with the weak, and O'Neill can put Kelia on trumped-up charges by emphasizing it.
At that time, if he wanted to leave, that would be a legitimate thing.
But now it's obvious that O'Neill can't do what O'Neill wished, but O'Neill doesn't know. He watched Keria approach his face, trying to stay calm.
Keriya showed a sneer on his face: "Do you really want to die that much?"
O'Neill said calmly: "You won't kill me, you saved me before, and, if you want to kill me, there are many opportunities to do it along the way, but you didn't."
"You're wrong." Kria pulled out the sword he was carrying under Onion's terrified expression, "If it wasn't for Gus and the others, I wouldn't have saved you. Besides, what obligation do I have to save you? To save people, I would rather kill people."
"No, no, you helped a lot of people on the way..."
O'Neill and Keriya walked together for more than half a month, and Keriya did help many people as he said.
Helped the girl who was molested in the tavern, and saved the team that was struggling. He also saved him before. He seems like a good person.
Although Keriya sometimes seems unapproachable, in O'Neill's view, besides being difficult, he is more like a good person.
That's why he has the courage to "touch porcelain" now, but looking at Keriya's face now, Onion is a little uncertain.
Keria said: "It's all fake!"
Onion closed his eyes when the long sword stabbed at him, only thinking that he really had to explain this time.
But not.
Cria stabbed O'Neill into O'Neill's collar and threw him forward forcefully, just when Gus arrived, and Cria threw the injured O'Nion into Gus's arms.
Gus held O'Neill reluctantly: "Kerry, what, what's going on?"
Hearing Gus's voice, O'Nein realized that he was still alive, and tremblingly grabbed Gus's clothes and accused: "He, he wants to kill me."
Gus looked at the wound on Onion's abdomen, but didn't speak.
Keria: "Be careful, someone is coming, there are spirit beasts, there may be other things."
The sound of running was getting closer, even O'Neill could hear it.
A knight riding a wolf came into view first, followed by cargo, other people, and, most of all, the skeletons that caught Keria's attention.
Gass blurted out, "Death Knight?"
This was the first time he had personally seen a dead thing moving at such a fast pace.
Keria yelled, "Run!"
The Necromancer Knight is easy to deal with, and difficult to deal with.
Unlike ordinary knights, as long as the necromancer kills the master, the dead objects he controls will no longer move.
Take Onion as an example, if Onion dies, his contracted beast will not die with him, but will return to a free state. The death of the master means that the contract between the contracted beast and the master is dissolved.
Conversely, if Onion's contracted beast died, Onion would not die, but he would lose a lot of power.
And these dead objects in the Necromancer contract are already dead, and it takes a lot of time and energy to make them immobilized, and there is often more than one dead object in the Necromancer contract.
In terms of strength, the Necromancer Knight is much stronger.
When Keriya and the others saw the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man also saw them.
He was overjoyed when he saw Keria wearing a knight uniform.
Be a knight!
But when he saw Kelia's face, he felt that the other person was too young, how could he be so powerful?
Then he saw Gus and the injured man in Gus's arms.
Among these three people, two were young, and one was injured. It didn't look like they could help at all. The middle-aged man was disappointed.
He was even more disappointed when he heard the "run".
Is their caravan going to be wiped out today?
The middle-aged man was already thinking about changing directions. Even a team of twenty or so knights couldn't get rid of these dead things. Even one or two more people couldn't change anything, at least they couldn't drag others into the water anymore.
However, in this forest, except for a road that was stepped out by people, the trees in other places grow irregularly. They can rush in violently, but they can't find any other direction to avoid for a while.
Others in the team also saw Keriya and the others, seeing that they were about to leave, they couldn't help calling for help.
"Help! Please save us!"
This is a situation where he knows that the other party may be powerless, but he can't restrain himself from calling for help. If he is sane, it is impossible for him to do so.
In desperation, he has lost his ability to judge, and when he meets someone, he thinks that the other person is strong enough to save them.
When Keriya heard the cry for help, he felt disgusted and kept walking.
Gus ran in front of Keria, but he was walking and took another person, so his running speed was not fast.
Most people with two legs can't run with four legs. When the wolf under the middle-aged man was about to hit Keria, he abruptly changed his direction.
The wolf dodged to the side, slowed down, and the middle-aged man turned back to face the skeletons.
"Hurry up, let me stop them!"
The few cars loaded with goods quickly overtook the middle-aged man.
Someone in the caravan slowed down: "Sideko!"
Many people stopped like the middle-aged man: "Let me help you."
It can be seen that the atmosphere of this caravan is very harmonious.
The middle-aged man named Sideko said: "Let's go, take at least those three brothers with us."
He knew in his heart that in the face of such an enemy, no matter how many people remained, it was useless, it was just a matter of dying more and dying less.
With the speed of those few skeletons, they were only allowed to chat a few words before catching up.
Sideko drew out his long sword, held the front skeleton, and urged, "Go!"
In addition to the team that left obediently, there were a few people who stayed behind to fight for a little time for the caravan companions to escape.
As they spoke, Keria clearly felt that Gus's speed had slowed down, and someone was constantly overtaking them.
A caravan was beckoning them to the wagon.
Cria didn't respond, and Gass didn't go up either.
Only Onion, who was in Gus' arms, was moved.
When he was planning to frame Keriya, he had no idea that such a thing would happen.
If he had known they would be in such danger, he would not have stabbed himself.
Onion twitched his lips: "Ga, Gus, why don't you keep running?"
Gus looked at him: "Is your injury okay?"
O'Neill didn't know what he meant by asking this: "It's, it's okay."
In the next second, Gass had already let go of his hands: "That's good, you can run by yourself, holding you, I don't think I can run anymore."
O'Neill was caught off guard and fell hard. He was still in a daze until the pain came.
Gass said to him: "You run, if you don't run, you may not be able to run away later."
Sideko and the others are not as powerful as these skeletons, otherwise they wouldn't have called for help.
Sideko and the others couldn't fight back these skeletons, so they could only fight and retreat, and now they were closer to Keria and the others.
O'Neill had no choice. In a hurry, he even forgot to release his contracted beast. Instead, he listened to Gass and ran on two legs.
From Garth's point of view, Onion's back looks clumsy and comical.
Someone from the caravan in front came back on purpose, brought Onion over, and said to Keria and Gass:
"You two, come up quickly, I will take you for a ride."
Before Gus could answer, Klia had already exposed them without hesitation: "Aren't you the one who attracted these skeletons?"
The other party smiled bitterly, and he couldn't refute this: "It is indeed our fault... But you shouldn't give up on yourself and die? Run away first, and then explain to you later."
Seeing that Keria and Gass had no intention of running away, the other party glanced at the place where the battle was fought, and said, "Don't dawdle, Sidko and the others won't be able to stop them for long." As he spoke, his speech speed unconsciously accelerated, "With your strength, don't think about challenging those things, just run away."
The other party stayed for a while, seeing that the two young men in front of him could not be persuaded, he moved closer to them, trying to forcefully drag them away.
Unfortunately, his first target was Keria.
Keriya easily avoided the hand that was attacking him: "You don't need to worry about us, run your own."
The other party suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was wearing a knight outfit, so he should be a knight. If he was a knight, then he should have a contract beast, which was enough for them to ride on it.
"Okay," this person was still a little worried about Keriya and the others, "then you must be careful."
……
"Let's go too."
Klia didn't take a step until the people were far away. He didn't run, nor summoned his contracted beast, but walked on the main road as usual.
It seemed a little too laid back.
Gus stopped him from behind: "K, Kerry."
"Ok?"
"You..." Gus wanted to ask Keriya to save people, but suddenly remembered that he had no position, and couldn't say what he said, so he could only ask, "What do you think of them?"
Keria: "They look like a caravan. As for why they encountered the dead knights, I don't know."
Gass: "Then you..."
Before he could speak, Esway's voice overshadowed his: "What's going on here?"
Esway's speed is not slow, at least more than ten times faster than Keriya's current speed.
He stopped in front of Keria, but kept his eyes on the direction of the battle, and asked again: "Is there a dead knight around here?"
As he said that, Elsway looked around, but he didn't see any strange people.
The distance from which the Necromancer can control dead objects is not very far, beyond a certain distance, the Necromancer will lose control of the dead object, but now there seems to be no Necromancer around, which makes Esway feel a little strange.
Keria answered him: "I didn't see anyone else here except the four of us and those from the caravan. The ghost knight... I don't know if he is there."
Elswey: "Aren't you going to look around?"
This forest is not small, and it is very possible that the location of the Necromancer Knight exceeds Kria's perception. If you want to deal with these dead things, it is better to deal with the Necromancer Knight first.
When communicating with Keria, Eswe never left the sight of those skeletons.
"I think they can't hold on anymore, I'll go help them." He rushed forward as he spoke.
Gus looked at Elswey's actions with a little envy.
He was not envious of the people who could rush forward to help the caravan, but envied the way Eswe and Keria communicated.
Natural, casual, like a friend.
Compared to himself and Kria, Kria has always been in the dominant position, and he is only responsible for obeying and executing.
Gus thought, maybe it was the class concept that had restricted him all the time. Kerry was the earl of the kingdom, and he was just a student who had just graduated from the Knight Academy... Logically speaking, he even needed to meet the earl. Those who salute, the two are not on the same level at all.
Lord Earl... No, Kerry needs his respect.
If he becomes his subordinate knight again, won't he never be able to stand on the same level as Kerry?
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. He shook his head and threw these messy thoughts out of his mind.
Gus looked towards the place of the battle: "Kerry, when this battle is over, I also have something to tell you."
He also joined the battle.
Klia looked at Gus's back, not wanting to know what Gus wanted to say to him.
