Cannon Fodder Strategy

When the earth dragon landed in the frozen mountains, the remaining girls were almost turned blue by the wind, and their lips were purple from the cold. The wind made the three girls tremble with their arms crossed, and they almost lost feeling in their feet. , or were carried off the earth dragon by their respective knights.

Only Lily hid in Aturi's robe all the way, surrounded by his body heat. She even slept for a while during the journey. When she got off the ground, except for her hair being a little messy, her face was still rosy.

Everyone jumped down from this place, chose a quiet and uninhabited place, and took out their things to set up camp. It was too late now, although because this mountain range is covered with snow all year round, the reflected light looked like it was still dark. It was completely dark, but there were too many dangers in this forest, and not far away was the base camp of the Dark Temple. It was no longer suitable to take risks, so a group of people decided to settle down first.

Several knights took out their belongings and set up camp respectively. By this time, the competitive relationship among everyone had become clear. They did not speak to each other and only worked individually. The three saints picked up the backpacks they brought. He rummaged for linen cloth and wrapped his head and face tightly. No one wanted to say anything, but when Aturi set up the tent and pulled Lily in, Brian threw away the things with a sullen face and turned around. Walk.

The few people who came out on this trip didn't bring much with them, and the harsh weather in the frozen mountains didn't seem to have any impact on Aturi. The tents set up by several people were far away from each other. This time, the news received from the Temple of Light was that the Scepter of Light was placed on the altar in the Temple of Darkness in the Frozen Mountains.

In other words, if the people from the Temple of Light want to grab the scepter this time. Then you must break into the Dark Temple headquarters, enter their forbidden area, and take the scepter from the altar.

Lily only vaguely felt that Aturi was very powerful, but she had not seen him take action personally. There must be many guardians of the Dark Temple's base camp. If these few people want to take away the scepter, then It's nothing more than a fool's dream. She huddled in a corner of the tent, while Arturi lay flat on his back. It was impossible to see the expression on his face clearly in the darkness, but the warmth on his body seemed to be able to dispel the ice at the bottom of the tent, with an alluring warmth.

Neither of them spoke, and the tent was extremely quiet. In the darkness, the whistling wind outside could be heard rustling the tent, and the sound of the wind blowing through the woods reached people's ears. The silence and darkness of this mountain range become more and more apparent.

"The show has begun." Arturi's voice suddenly sounded. There seemed to be a bit of smile in his voice, as if to confirm what he said. Not long after his words fell, there was a harsh sound. A woman screamed.

"Ah..." The scream seemed to pierce the night sky, and Lily's body tensed subconsciously. He sat up all of a sudden and was about to go out and take a look. However, Arturi's hand accurately caught her wrist in the darkness. His palm was very warm, which highlighted the coolness between Lily's wrists. The girl's tender skin looked especially smooth because of the cold. His fingers After rubbing it twice, she felt goosebumps on the back of Lily's hand.

He opened the shed, and the people living in various places were attracted by the screams. Even Brian, who disappeared without a trace before, was among them.

On the top of a huge tree, a knight who was originally pretending to be an ordinary mercenary had his head tied with a rope. Hanging on a treetop, the body was dangling. His trachea had been cut off, and a large amount of blood was still pouring out. Even though the blood that had poured out first had begun to freeze, the wound was still wet. Blood comes out.

The moment he was hung up, his trachea was cut off and he couldn't scream. Although Lily was far away before that, he didn't smell the smell of blood, which proved that he had just been killed.

"The person who killed him hasn't gone far yet!" Lily wanted to step forward to take a look, but as soon as she moved, Arturi held her tightly, and his eyes fell on the trembling saint candidate with her face covered. , in the night, the skin on her face that was not completely covered by a scarf was as white as snow. There was a layer of fine frost crystals on her eyebrows. Her eyelashes were long and curled. Her pupils seemed to be filled with fear due to extreme fear. She had begun to shrink, and her body was leaning against the treetops, her legs shaking as if she could not stand still.

"I, he, he went out to look for water, I, I wanted to see him, and found, found..." She seemed to be so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Seeing such a scene, several people were a little nervous. One of the saints fell into the arms of her knight, and tears burst out of her eyes. However, not long after the tears came out, they began to freeze when they were blown by the wind. Bing, she stammered:

"Here, here is..." Before she could finish her words, the knight behind her seemed to pinch her. She quickly shut up and said nothing, but turned her head and buried her head in the knight's arms.

When Lily saw this, her eyes suddenly narrowed. There was something wrong with this trembling saint. Her face was pale, not as if she was scared, but as if she was cold. And this time the temple sent out Even if the knight's strength is not at the top level, it is not much different. Even if a master can appear and kill him silently, he may not be able to do so without alerting so many people present.

The most important thing is that this saint's eyebrows are covered with frost crystals, but her eyelashes are clean, which proves that she must have blinked her eyes because of nervousness before. And in the harsh environment of the frozen mountains, if she is really sad and crying because of the death of her knight, just like the saint who was half-said before, as long as she sheds tears, there will definitely be some marks under her eyes. Yes, but she is clean.

She seemed very sad, but just because she pretended to be so perfect, it actually made Lily feel a little suspicious.

When ordinary people see such a situation, they will definitely be frightened rather than sentimental. She was sad so quickly that it was almost impossible to feel her fear and panic.

The three saints all had their faces covered and couldn't see her appearance clearly. Lily's eyelids drooped, and the hand held by Arturi subconsciously pulled him tight.

Everyone was silent. When we got here, everyone was in a semi-cooperative and semi-hostile relationship. Whoever gets the Scepter of Light will have a more secure position in the Temple of Light in the future. Everyone wants to be a saint, and they don’t want to be someone else’s slave. Otherwise, why take the risk this time? The death of a knight proved that this team would have one less competitor. The other two teams tacitly expressed some words of comfort and helped put the knight who had his throat cut and hung up on the spot. Bury, the saint cried softly, Brian helped bury the snow, looked back and saw Arturi holding Lily's hand, and then saw that he was now helping to bury the body, and an unknown fire welled up in his heart:

"Isn't the Grand Duke willing to help? Seeing that a loyal knight has returned to the embrace of the goddess of light, doesn't His Excellency the Grand Duke want to say something?"

Everyone could see his malice and trouble for Aturi, but no one said a word. Aturi didn't even look at him. At that moment, he was squatting on the ground with his back against the tree and burying his face in his knees. In the middle, a very sad saint passed by, and soon her eyes fell on Lily: "I am not from the temple."

When Brian heard this, an unknown fire surged up in his heart. He threw away the snow in his hand and stood up immediately.

When Arturi was in the imperial capital before, he was very powerful. It didn't matter that he couldn't compete with Aturi. Now he was out and about. Most of the people here were from the temple. Aturi didn't even have any followers around him, but he still couldn't compete with him. With such arrogance, Brian's eyes showed a bit of murderous intent, and his eyes fell on Lily again. She didn't know what she was thinking, her expression was calm, but it made Brian's anger come out one by one.

"Since you are not from the temple and this is a matter of internal affairs of the temple, why are you here?" Brian retorted loudly. The other two knights looked at the scene in front of them with some embarrassment. In fact, they were also puzzled. untie.

Everyone knew about this mission trip, but before leaving, several archbishops told them that Archduke Arturi would be accompanying them on this mission. Arturi was not from the temple. He was not even a believer in the temple. None of them I understand how an outsider could get involved in such an important matter. But firstly, with the instructions from the archbishops, and secondly, Arturi's identity was there, and coupled with his loyalty to the archbishop's orders, no one opened his mouth to question it. , now Brian spoke, and although the two of them remained silent, they both turned their heads.

"I begged Archduke Aturi to accompany me here. Brian, you really embarrass me." She stood on Aturi's side, causing Brian's expression to darken completely, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he quickly lowered his head and didn't reply.

Several people buried the knight's body. It was already getting late. Tomorrow, we will continue to search for the address of the Dark Temple. Everyone should keep their spirits up. They each returned to their own places. The girl who had been holding her legs raised her head. , looking a little hesitant and helpless:

"Now, what should I do now? I only have one person, Miss Roman. You already have Arturi by your side. Okay, can you let Brian protect me tonight?"

Her eyes were like those of a deer. Although she was speaking to Lily, her eyes were looking towards Brian.

People in the Loland continent do not value chastity. It is not unusual for a candidate saint to have several knight lovers. However, most of the people in the temple knew about the relationship between Brian and Lily. They knew that these two The relationship between people is different from the ordinary knight and saint. Even if someone would wink at him behind his back, they would never speak so openly and directly. A smile appeared on the corner of Lily's mouth. She seemed to have discovered something. Something unacceptable. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)\u003c
