Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Gaia continent, human territory, within the Principality of Eggberg.

Priest Aile and his entourage left the City of Usher overnight. As the moon set and the sun rose, they headed north along the long and narrow valley. As soon as they walked out of the mountain pass in front of them, they could meet up with the corresponding team and head to Wilkes, the capital of Eggberg.

, report to Lord Simil.

There were a total of fifteen followers on this trip, three of whom accompanied Priest Aile in the carriage, two who drove the car, and the other ten who rode golden-striped leopard horses were distributed at the front and rear of the team.

The golden-striped leopard horse is a relatively common beast, with the ability to run long distances like a horse, and the agility and elegance of a leopard, and can walk on the mountain road at night with ease.

In front of the carriage are four blue-black horses, which are demonized creatures. Although they are not very fast, their characteristics allow the carriages they drag to float above the ground, saving passengers from the hassle of the journey.

bumpy.

This was originally a simple and light outfit that showed the majesty and heritage of the Temple of the True God, but now it just feels a little too eye-catching, especially at this moment when the sky is getting brighter.

Priest Aile in the carriage raised his hand to open the curtain, slightly poked his head out, and looked at the mountain pass ahead that looked like a giant black pincer in the blue-gray skylight.

This road was the only way for Eggberg to connect to the City of Usher. Although they were traveling all night, this road should not be so deserted, not even a pedestrian could be seen.

This is a phenomenon that goes against his cognition. He may not have a "character" or "thoughts", but such an obvious low-probability phenomenon is enough for him to "think" and come to a proper conclusion.

"Speed ​​up and be careful." Priest Aile ordered, hugging a square box in his arms tighter.

The entourage driving the car heard the order and gave a long whistle. The five leopard horses at the front of the team made a vigorous leap. The mist rose under the hooves of the fog horse and slid forward more than ten meters in an instant.

The sun has not yet fully risen, and the ray of rays of light from the east has dyed half of the mountain peaks red. The shadows cast down still reveal the cold air of the night, waiting for this group of people to set foot.

Priest Aile frowned. With his limited knowledge base, he could calculate that this narrow mountain gate was a perfect ambush point.

"Let everyone be prepared to guard against——"

The unfinished syllables in Priest Aile's mouth were torn into pieces by the sudden violent wind, and loud thunderous noises were pressed down from the left and right sides. Priest Aile tried to stand up, but was shaken by a sudden earthquake and fell down.

In the carriage, his eyesight went dark, his back sank, and a heavy object fell down. The broken carriage board cut a burning wound on his face, and suddenly there was a cloud of blood in his spinning and upside-down vision.

Even though his whole body felt as if he had been run over by a heavy object, severe pain spread from the back of his head to his back. Priest Aile did not let go of his hands. Instead, he pressed his forehead against the floor, opened his eyes with force, and shook his head violently.

, forcing myself to stay awake.

"Master Priest! Master Priest!"

Anxious calls rang out from outside the carriage, and Priest Aile felt relieved. As long as the entire army was not wiped out in an instant, there would be a chance for a turn in the matter.

Priest Aile turned around with difficulty, trying hard to distinguish in the darkness. He guessed that he was caught between the triangular area formed by two carriage panels. Although he could not move, he at least had a chance to breathe for the time being.

This must be someone pushing down the rocks on both sides when the carriage passed by. I seemed to have heard the sound of wind for a moment just now. Could it be that I was attacked by a high-level wind holy mage?

Horses neighed, people roared, the sounds of swords clashing, a series of explosions, and an eerie silence.

During the long wait, the Aile priests identified the owner of every roar and cry, but could not hear a single voice from the attacker.

Until everything fell silent, Priest Aile, who was looking up with his eyes wide open, suddenly saw light spots all over his sight. The light spots turned into light beams and scattered into pieces. Amidst the flying dust, a familiar dress appeared in front of him.

.

"As expected, it's you, you guys."

Priest Aile opened his mouth with difficulty and stared at the stranger in white robes in front of him. The dazzling sunlight formed a halo behind his head, like a holy picture of a savior.

"There are some things that you bugs living in the dark should not have."

The visitor smiled ferociously, and at a glance he saw the square box held in the arms of Priest Aile, and bent down to try to open his arm.

"Hey, hey," a mouthful of blood welled up in Priest Aile's throat, making his voice even more unclear, "Since you know what this is, how dare you do it."

The person's expression changed, he took a few steps back, turned his head and looked to his side: "Here, someone, freeze his arm and then chop it off."

"I'll do it."

A knight wearing ice-blue armor stepped forward. After hearing this, a female mage behind him immediately lowered her head and prayed softly. Thin ice flakes spun into chains on the knight's sword blade, and the cold air was overwhelming.

This is one of the sworn skills between the guardian knight and the water holy mage, giving the knight the blessing of ice and snow.

Priest Aile's fingers fumbled for the imprint switch at the bottom of the square box, and he looked regretfully at the sunlight pouring down from the top of the mountain.

This is really not a good place to bury bones.

My group left the City of Usher immediately after getting this square box. How did these lackeys from the Holy Church know about it? And they accurately laid an ambush here?

Did someone among his followers betray him?

Or...is there something wrong with the person who put such a thing into his own hands??

The sword wrapped in ice was raised high, and the sunlight was reflected dazzlingly. Priest Aile closed his eyes, placed his fingertips on the mark switch, exerted a slight force, and pressed——

Click.

Priest Aile suddenly opened his eyes, his arms were empty, and a slender black sword blade was stabbing out from his side, blocking the approaching ice sword blade.

The pitch-black sword blade frozen by the ice retracted. Priest Aile turned his head and saw that the shadow beside him seemed to be squirming.

"Who?!"

The ice-blue armored knight looked around warily, and the light mage beside him jumped away from Priest Aile, holding up his staff in warning.

"John, have you got it?"

A lazy voice jumped down from the top of the mountain on the east side. The twenty or so people present couldn't help but raise their hands to block the dazzling sunlight. They removed their palms. There was no one in front of them, but there was an extra person next to the broken carriage compartment.

A man wearing a dirty gray robe.

His shadow was connected with the shadow under the mountain pass. The shadow was twisting like a black quagmire. A square black shadow was spat out from the quagmire. The man in gray robe grabbed it in his hand and looked at it with disgust.

"John, I find that this new skill is very suitable for you. We haven't seen your people for a long time." The man in gray robe lowered his head and sighed.

The shadow continued to squirm, and seemed to be smiling vaguely, sounding a little shy.

"Kill him!"

The gem tip of the staff pointed at the man in gray robe. The owner of the staff had already retreated to his companions, staring at the square box in his hand, and shouted sharply.

The man in gray robe put away the square box and raised his arms. The dark cyan bracelet on his wrist burst out with intense light, and the strong wind roared out, rolling up the gravel on the ground and smashing it forward.

"Defense! Defense!"

Two earth walls rose in response, being eroded layer by layer by the strong wind while absorbing and piling up more soil.

"It seems a bit tricky."

Nick turned around and tutted: "You're too slow."

Qi Youfan was helpless: "I can't teleport, I walked down from the mountain."

Even so, he is just a little slow, right?

"See if that guy is still alive."

Qi Youfan received the command from Nick's eyes, walked to the black-robed priest, and squatted down to check.

"The bleeding was a bit heavy and the left leg seems to be broken. The situation is not too bad."

"trouble."

Nick raised his right hand slightly and his five fingers jumped, as if he were playing the keys or making up the shape of the air. The strong wind suddenly stopped and turned into wind blades all over the sky, flying towards the two earth walls with a scream.

The earthen wall collapsed in an instant, and the several mages hiding behind were stunned for a moment. The wind blade accurately stabbed through the heart and head, and the blood splashed to the ground. More mages fled in alarm, and their respective guardian knights

He also quickly slashed down the oncoming wind blade with his sword.

"It seems that they are relatively advanced NPCs, and they are very aware of precautions."

Nick nodded in approval, not caring about the meager gains from this attack, and raised his hand again, summoning another gust of wind.

"I can probably only suppress it for a while. John will go over and make a sneak attack. Pay attention to your safety."

A broken carriage panel was picked up by the wind and thrown forward, with a dim sword light passing through the long shadow.

The carriage board was split open by the opponent's knight's sword, and the split shadow stabbed out a sword silently, passing through the gap in the armor, and sent the pitch-black sword tip into the knight's neck.

It was just a slight, quick, and short-lived pain. Before the knight could react, blood spurted out from the wound and filled his armor.

The knight's companions did not see the sword, but saw the bleeding armor and the fallen corpse, and then the breathless breath of death.

John is a very calm person. Since Nick lets him attack, he doesn't need to be too active. But Nick also said that he can't suppress him for too long, so he will try his best to relieve Nick's pressure.

John hid in the shadows, carefully observed the positions of these knights and holy mages, and found the three lone people who had no guardianship.

These lone people also knew their situation, and they all chose positions that were convenient for their companions to assist. John thought for a long time, but he could not find a way to kill these three people at once, and he was not sure whether he could kill them all at once.

retreat.

He has changed his profession now, and these people don't know his details for the time being, but John knows that the simplest purification or healing technique of the light holy mage, or even the light when the mage blesses the guardian knight, will destroy him.

Forced out of the shadows.

But...Nick is here too!

John selected the target and quickly approached it. When the tip of the sword poked out from the shadows, the rotating and intertwined wind blades were dazzling. The companions around the target either avoided or defended, temporarily putting the poor lone man on the spot.

To the side.

The wind was calm and the people were quiet. The unlucky mage who was stabbed collapsed on the ground, and the red spot on his heart instantly spread into a pool of blood.

Qi Youfeng helped Priest Aile up, turned around and looked back, his eyes fell back on Priest Aile's face, and said with a smile:

"Do you recognize it?"

Priest Aile nodded heavily and couldn't help but ask: "Are you too? Are you all?"

"Well, we are all from the Temple of the True God, and we were all brought in by Simil himself."

Qi Youfeng closed his eyes and opened them again. Such a close distance was enough for Priest Aile to clearly see the rotating hexagram array in his eyes.

"Did Sir Simil ask you to come and save me?" Priest Aile grabbed Qi Youfeng's sleeve tightly, still having thousands of questions in his heart.

"No, it's mine," Qi Youfeng paused, "Our friends asked us to come after him to save people."

"Friend?" Priest Aile was slightly startled, and a name came to his mind.

"Well, I'm the one who handed you the black square."

Qi Youfeng's words confirmed his guess, and the strong suspicion that Priest Aile had just gathered was suddenly mixed into a mess.

"Where is she?" Priest Aile couldn't help but ask.

"Well..." Qi Youfeng placed him in a safer place behind Nick and smiled before getting up, "I also hope she can come on time."

Qi Youfeng turned around, the full-moon scimitar in his left hand was as green as water, and the ferocious machete in his right hand was covered with cloud patterns. The two swords were intertwined in front of him, with stars twinkling in his eyes, he jumped up and rushed towards the center of the enemy formation.

Nick saw John succeed in another sneak attack and hid in the shadows. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he flipped his left wrist and a whirlpool-like wind ball formed on the ground and entangled the ankle of the holy mage in front of Qi Youfeng.

Qi Youfeng stabilized his center of gravity, stamped his feet, and flew the scimitar in his left hand towards the mage's chest, while the knife in his right hand steadily blocked the colorless sword edge coming from the side.

What he faced was the classic combination of the Guardian Knight and the Holy Mage. He needed to do his best to suppress the Mage and get rid of the Guardian Knight first.

Otherwise, if the person you are protecting dies first, the knight will go crazy.

He chose this wind-type holy mage as his partner because this was a combination he had fought against in the Mingtang Bagua City and he had some experience.

It's just that he wasn't strong enough at that time and still needed Nian Nian's cooperation and Nian Nian's assistance.

"Oh my, shouldn't I rush to help?"

Nick turned his head and looked at the purple-gray elf falling from the sky. He cheered up and threw the square box to her:

"Just stay aside, the three of us are enough to handle it."

Nian Nian looked at the intact square box in his hand, at Priest Aile who had a complicated expression on the side, and at Qi Youfeng who was fighting fiercely with two swords, and smiled slightly:

"Then I'll send this to Simil first. I'll wait for you in Eggberg City."

"Besides, don't..."

Nick waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go, I understand."

Every year I touch my nose and leave quietly.

When the survivors here escape and successfully return to the Holy Temple Church, the war that Adam promised will be officially ignited, right?

With such an assassination and rescue, she was able to remove herself from this incident. Next, it depends on how Adam performs on the stage.
