Under, Elden Sword Saint

: Lingering Souls

Huren and Yaren had already left, except for a ‘Ninny-shaped grenade’, Tang En was alone, with only ashes and two long knives, and there was no burden in his heart.

He left Selia Town with a few red lion knights, brought special firewood from the camp, and arranged several layers with the swamp as the center, just like several concentric circles, firmly enclosing the central area of ​​Gelid. It was firmly covered, but a hole was left on the east side, which was used as a passage for both sides to advance.

When the decisive battle begins, the militiamen hidden in the mountains will rush out to fill the gap, and when the signal comes, they will ignite the red lion flame.

Through Dun En’s repeated experiments, the Red Lion Flame does have an inhibitory effect on scarlet corruption, and prevention beforehand is much more useful than making up for it afterwards. As a prudent person, he must make several preparations.

The scarlet flower is a bit like a nuclear weapon, its blasting power is astonishing, even the majestic General Broken Star will lose his mind, but what is more troublesome is the ‘nuclear radiation’, as long as the flower is still there, it will continuously erode to the surroundings.

Wherever it passes, the plants will grow tumors that make people lose their sanity, and the animals will mutate, from wild dogs to giant crows, all of which will grow into the “salary king” that makes the faded suffer.

“This is almost the same, or in other words, this is the correct usage of ‘prophet’.”

As the autumn wind blew past, Tang En looked at the firewood disguised as weeds. The knights and militiamen were busy. They didn’t know why, but they firmly carried out the tasks assigned by the general.

This is a huge project, a project that can’t be completed by traversers, and there are too many things involved, such as who will be in charge of a certain area, and how to replenish the firewood after it is burned, all need special personnel to be responsible.

The continuous radiation and the costly rescue make people think of a certain nuclear power plant.

“Fortunately, here are warriors who are dedicated to their duties, not an abandoned house that is greedy for life and afraid of death.” Tang En squeezed out a smile. If he changed the place, he really didn’t dare to ask people to do it.

In the original timeline, even if the commander lost control, the entire army lost 90% of its strength, and the rest were also affected by dementia, but the red lions still tried their best to suppress the scarlet corruption and prevent the deadly ‘radiation’ from spreading to the entire border.

Of course, this arrangement can only be a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

“Your Excellency Tang En, let’s get this done.” A high-pitched voice came, and a middle-aged man with unkempt appearance stepped onto the high slope.

He was wearing brightly colored knight armor, carrying a huge flame-shaped sword on his back. He didn’t wear a helmet, but he wore a dusty civilian hood.

“It’s still early, Mr. Jie Lian. If there is enough time, I still want to impose at least three seals here.” Tang En performed a knight salute. It was a wonderful fate that Rataen sent him to join him.It was this Jie Lian.

This person likes to wander, and it can be said that he has carried forward his status as a “guest general”. He first stayed in Kalia for several years, and then came to Gaelid when he was bored.

“You are really cautious, but the soldiers below are not in a good mood.”

“Is it because you can’t make meritorious deeds in the decisive battle?”

“Well, the Geliders don’t like to stand by and watch. Their temper is even hotter than that of the natives of Gemir Volcano.” Jie Lian stroked his beard and chuckled:

“However, you can rest assured that they will faithfully carry out every order of the general.”

Since the battle is top secret, it is inconvenient for Tang En to explain, so he can only sigh quietly:

“They’ll know it’s incredibly important.”

Just thinking about what else to check and make up for, an ale glass was handed over to him. Tang En looked at it and thought that you guys don’t have normal water in Gayled, but he drank it honestly.

“Master Jie Lian, you are the commander-in-chief of peripheral operations. Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“Tsk, you made a mess and tied me to Gayled. Forget it, let me ask you one thing first. How can we ensure that the Holy Tree Army won’t find out about our little tricks? The Valkyries are famous for being cautious.”

Because I was chatting and laughing with Marlenia, I knew that this brother-in-law could no longer hold back.

Tang En grinned, and resolutely rejected the blame: “This is the judgment of Lord Rataen.”

“So that’s true, that’s right. The Sacred Tree Army’s expedition should go straight to the point, but we don’t have so much time to deal with us.” Jie Lian automatically made up the reason, raised his head, and saw Tang En staring at the distance with a serious face .

“What’s wrong?” He turned around subconsciously, and saw two people walking on the deserted road.

They were dressed in light armor and black cloaks, with small shields or short spears around their waists. They walked hurriedly with vicissitudes of life, but they were somewhat similar to him, a wanderer.

“you recognize?”

Tang En looked at the guest general in front of him, smiled and shook his head: “I don’t know him, but maybe he should be arrested and questioned.”

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were extremely dignified. He had just seen a similar outfit half a month ago. It was the hunter who was fighting to the death in the cave. He didn’t expect to see an acquaintance unexpectedly.

Is it just passing by? Or did you say you’ve received the message?

Muscles tense quietly. These bastards always appear at unexpected times without any clues. Fortunately, Tang En has long been mentally prepared.

The two kinds of wisps are 50-50, and the beasts are sacrificed in Gelid, and the hunters may come to receive the rewards, but it is not easy to say that swallowing death involves forces above the demigods.

“It’s really suspicious, you guys go and question him!” Jie Lian waved his hand, and several heavily armed red lion knights went up to meet him.

The battle did not break out as Tang En expected. After exchanging a few words, the two sides separated, and the knight rode back to report.

“Your Excellency, those people are death hunters.”

“Oh? So it’s them. I said they looked familiar.” Jie Lian stroked his beard and told the knight to continue working. Turning around, he saw Tang En’s unnatural expression.

“You still have doubts? How about I tell you the story of the death hunter?”

“No need, as long as it doesn’t interfere with our plan.” Dunn waved his hands without interest. Of course he knew what these people were doing, and he had some ‘insignificant’ friction with them.

He turned his head to look at the avenue, and focused his eyes on the man in front of him. He had a strong body and thick hair, similar to the one he had killed, except that he was carrying two short guns and looked a little younger.

Perhaps because of his keen intuition, the hunter immediately noticed this gaze, and when he looked back, he saw a knight in gorgeous armor staring at him, surrounded by a group of soldiers from the Red Lion Legion.

The eyes collided in the air for a moment, and then they each bowed their heads, and then they staggered away from each other.

No problem, this is a heroic hunter too.

“The leader is a bit powerful.”

“Nonsense, isn’t it good to be able to hunt those monsters? And these hunters are proficient in tracking and intelligence analysis, and killing them is not their forte.” Jie Lian began to show off his knowledge again.

Intelligence analysis?

Tang En talked about the second point, recalling the previous incident by the way.

“There should be some people left alive, but those who confronted me should all be dead…”

His heart stopped beating for a moment, and he suddenly found that there was a living person who had faced him directly, Oleg the Wing of the Storm King!

No, he is a subordinate of the Blessing King, so it is impossible for him to appear in Galilee in a grand manner. Besides, superb sword skills are not uncommon in the borderlands. As long as you don’t come in person, there is no reason to identify me.

What do you have to do with me, the Crimson Corruption Scavengers, that you want to kill the Devourer of Death.

But shouldn’t you go to the north to receive the reward? What is going to Selia?

Just to be on the safe side, he still asked the leaving knight, “What’s the name of the leader?”

The knight thought for a while, and spit out a weird syllable.

“A.”

 …

“A, are you sure the target is Gelid?”

On the deserted avenue, the hunters were also chatting, the leader was more lively, took out his wine bag and took a big gulp.

“Hey, let’s call me by my original code name, it sounds better this way.”

The bald man with mustache ignored his gag, and said in a rigid voice, “According to the rules, you will replace the original A after his death.”

“All right, all right, I’m just complaining casually.” A covered the wine bag, looking at the busy soldiers around, “Why don’t these red lions step up their preparations and dig holes everywhere?”

“It’s none of our business, I just care about where the target is.”

“Tsk, you are not interested in the collision of the two most powerful demigods.” The hunter waved his hand boredly, and became a little more serious.What’s more, the other party sneaked into Gelid. Didn’t the village say that there was a warrior staying for a short time? ”

———————xxx———————

“That’s right, so we should press the question.”

“This is Gelid, you thought it was your bedroom, I don’t want to be burned to death.” A scratched his messy hair, and said distressedly: “In addition to knowing that the target is proficient in magic and swordsmanship, and wears the armor of a lost knight , I don’t know the rest, how can I find someone here.”

Gaylid is full of fighters, like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Oleg can’t describe it clearly. The night was too dark, and his painting skills were too bad. The post-modern abstract painting was so ugly that people’s faces could not be recognized.

The hunter with a rigid expression thought for a moment, and said, “The decisive battle between Broken Star and the Valkyrie is imminent, and Galid will soon fall into chaos. Our time is running out.”

“S, what do you think of the knight just now?”

“Ah?” The stereotyped hunter couldn’t keep up with his companion’s thinking speed, and paused for a moment, “Looking at the equipment, he should be a guest general. He is young and has good strength. Why, do you doubt him?”

“How could that be? That person looked like a senior executive of the Red Lion, and he was beheaded if he offended others.” A laughed and shook his head, and his thoughts jumped back.

“You just said that time is running out, right?”

“That’s right, you didn’t see the red lion interrogating us just now?” S rolled his eyes, if possible, he really didn’t want to cooperate with this freak in the investigation.

“It’s okay, the two sides fight together, isn’t it more convenient for us to do things? Even if the target is protected by the red lion, we can find a chance to hunt.”

“What did you say??”

“Ah, it’s nothing, I just think it’s easy to find the target.” He pointed to the gatehouse ahead and smiled lightly.

“Go directly to Selia to inquire about it, and it will be over.”
