Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 50

The four youngsters had a strong base, with good coordination and trust in each other, he said, that allowed them to exert their strength fully for a long time even in the face of an enemy that was much stronger than them.

However, this did not change the balance of power between the two sides. As time went on, the power of the spellcaster was constantly consumed, and the situation became increasingly untenable. When the moon rose, they finally reached their limit.

“My magic is running out,” said the priest suddenly, his face sweating. “I can only use one or two recovery spells at most.”

At this moment, the archer ran out of arrows. He could only continue fighting using the arrows on the ground he had already shot.

As for the witch, the youngest and weakest of the four, she had run out of strength, so she lay on her stomach in the tree, exhausted and out of breath. Dizziness and headaches caused by her depleted magic left her unable to speak. He could only tell the others with a pitiful smile that he had absolutely no power to escape.

The soldier laughed wryly and said, “Alright, I will protect your retreat. In the future, if we have a chance to kill the old bear, it will be revenge for me. ”They are obviously so familiar with each other that even without using names they know who is being referred to.

The priest immediately became angry, shouting, “As a servant of the God of Glory (the main god of mankind), how could I leave my partner to escape? Are you trying to insult me ?! ”

“It was just a temporary retreat,” the soldiers said, forcing a smile. “When fighting, there are always attacks and retreats, and I ask you to retreat because you can help the others stay alive. If you don't retreat, I won't have the confidence to do so! ”

The priest could not say anything, but he stubbornly shook his head and never agreed.

The two sides were unable to reach an agreement, but the bears would not quietly wait for them as they negotiated. Seeing the enemy diverted, the bear immediately intensified its attacks and focused on the group's weaknesses. With just one strike, it removed the priest with its hard shield, leaving a gap in the shield. The priest felt a sharp pain in his chest as he breathed and coughed.

“Ups!” The soldier was startled, waving his sword hastily and trying to attract the attention of the giant bear so that he could make time for the shooter to save the priest. But at that moment, the gigantic bear's hard intentions pushed him: its strength increased substantially in a short period of time, and it attacked them with claws and pounced on its chances. The soldier answered well, resisting the attack with his shield. But the rest of his remaining strength was not enough for him to stand on the ground, so he staggered back and eventually fell to the ground.

When he fell, his heart sank. Damnit damnit!

The giant bear roared loudly and rushed towards him, but he felt pain with no energy left to save himself. He could only wait to be killed.

Just then, a mockery came from a nearby place. The gray figure, which had been hidden in the bushes earlier, rushed towards him in an instant and stopped in front of him.

The giant bear roared, rushed towards him, and soon arrived in front of him. What was found waiting for it was a brightly lit sword.

The sword light flashed, and blood splashed everywhere. The giant bear, which was running fast, lost its balance and crashed into the tree next to it. Blood spewed out from his guerrilla wounds like tears from a spring.

It was only then that the warrior saw his benefactor, the one who had beheaded the giant bear to save him and his companions. He was medium-bodied and handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes showed an exaggerated perfection that was a bit strange. It made others think he was more like a portrait or a statue than a living human. This man was not tall, wore light black leather armor, carried a long gun on his back, and held a sword that was still dripping blood. Leather armor, weapons, and swords all glittered amidst the darkness. At first glance, it was easy to see they were powerful and expensive weapons with charm.

Judging by the gun, sword, and attack, this benefactor was clearly a knight. However, unlike the knights who wore heavy armor, he wore leather armor, so he could focus on maneuvering and attacking.

Even though he ran this far and killed that monstrous giant bear, the strong knight did not even sweat, and he still breathed regularly. After exhaling deeply, he completely regained his composure, as if that shocking moment had nothing to do with him and he had just passed by.

Regardless of the other's gaze, he walked up to the dying giant bear, wiped the bloodstains on its thick fur, and then returned his sword to its sheath. Then, without looking at the group of four, he walked directly.

Saving people and killing bears doesn't seem worth mentioning to him.

“Great ... great knight .. accept ... Our gratitude ...” said the priest loudly. He was the first to recover and summoned the knight with a tingling in his chest.

The knight in black armor stopped without looking back but waved towards them.

“You did a good job, but you have to be more careful and ask more questions to your senior to learn from their experience,” he said in a clear and powerful voice. “Continue your life, and one day you can also use a sword like me!”

Without saying anything, he walked away, leaving behind only four grateful adventurers and a giant bear who ended up dead.

After a long time, the excited soldier could not help but shout, “I've decided! After returning, I will continue to study diligently and strive to use a sword like him as soon as possible! I have to train hard, but I will also help others, just as he selflessly helped us! ”

The priest, holding the sacred emblem, was deeply touched by the celebration of what was right, good, and beautiful. “I will also work harder! If not, then in the future I will not even be qualified to return it! ”

The shooter said with a smile, “Not my style to return the favor saved my life!”

The four friends looked at each other. Although they were all awkward, they saw the light on each other's faces and eyes.

If these four little men are immortal, they can achieve something great in the future, Ray thought inwardly. After returning to the camp, he did not rest, but said slowly, “I can see that they are very talented!”

“How do you feel after saving others and they thank you?” Sui Xiong smiled and asked.

Ray thought for a moment, and shook his head, “At least boring, but wasted no time helping four good young people.”

Saying so, he wrapped his body in a blanket and lay down to sleep.

Sui Xiong, hovering in midair and watching her clearly falsely fall asleep safely, could not help but laugh anymore.

Once again he recites the Eye of Position Identification spell and sees Ray's body still red, but his color is much fainter than when he first saw it. It was no longer so fierce but it took a little gentleness.

The next day, they easily walked out of the Graystone Mountains and entered the Commonwealth realm of Gold Coins.

The Commonwealth of Gold Coins was a great power located in the western Dominant Continent, which was based on business and was originally a merchant country. They did business with orcs in the Wilderness Empire, with the scales race in the Ancient Forest Wild Marsh, with murlocs in the vast ocean, and even with the Thunder Duchy, the Mifata Commonwealth and the Dhaka Commercial Association, respectively, thousands of miles to the south. As the four cities in the northwest had flourished, they had also done business with the pioneers who lived and made a living in the Ash Forest and remote mountains.

The country consisted of dozens of aristocratic territories, large and small, but merchants had the same high status everywhere. In fact, a merchant in this country was considered a baron if he had the same wealth as a baron, a viscount if he had the same wealth as a viscount, he said, earl if he has the same wealth as earl, and so on. If one's wealth was comparable to that of a Marquis, naturally, he would be considered a Marquis.

There was no Duke class because there were no dukes in this country.

This country, from top to bottom, is full of desire and pursuit of wealth. This not only created many adventurers who were brave enough to take risks and explore, but also made civilians work hard to pay a variety of high taxes. The pioneer group gathered under the Rhode arrangement was largely composed of both groups.

But Rhode recruited pioneers in the northern part of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, and Sui Xiong and Ray were now in the easternmost Commonwealth of Gold Coins. They're pretty far from each other.

After entering the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, his living conditions were indeed much better than those in the Graystone Mountains. That night, when he was finally able to sleep on the hotel bed, Ray laughed, and Sui Xiong also took the opportunity to give him chicken soup for the soul and talked about the idea that “happiness lies in the satisfaction”.

This time Ray didn't push back. He smiled and slept quietly. It was unclear if this was due to his good mood or his opinion of the idea.

But the next day, when he saw some skinny people on the street, he frowned. “Master in this place is incompetent,” he said.

Sui Xiong also quietly shook his head. He knew that because the world was similar to medieval Europe, with low levels of productivity, death from hunger was inevitable. But when he watched the people starve to death, he still felt uneasy.

The floating jellyfish slowly flew to the corpses, waving its tentacles, and a blue and white cold light fell on the corpses and made them into fine pieces of ice that were eventually integrated into the earth. Their souls had gone far before, and even the great gods could only bury them.

They continued walking and found more people starving to death by the side of the road.

This time Ray frowned more intensely. He looked around at the still luxurious farmland, and anger appeared in his eyes.

“Obviously the fields are good, and there are forests and mountains nearby. How could so many people starve to death ?! ”

“It looks like something is wrong with the ruler of this place ..” Sui Xiong again buried the corpses and whispered, “It is better to investigate, right?”

“Is there anything to investigate?” Ray asked while sneering. “If the results of the investigation prove there is a brutal master here, do you want to punish him personally, Your Eminence Void Mask? I will make it clear, I will oppose master for this reason, which is tantamount to provoking all aristocracy. I'm not crazy!”

“But you dare to provoke a god, so what else do you not dare to do?”

“Provoking all aristocrats may be more troublesome than provoking gods ..”

As they walked and spoke, they approached the river that flowed out of the forest. As Ray searched for a bridge to cross the river, he heard cries for help again …
