Chapter 311 I want to stay

"How should I put this? It's hard to put it into words."

Xilu's expression looked a little helpless.

He sighed and started talking. During Xilu's narration, Edward slowly understood the whole story.

About a month ago, a huge number of undead creatures suddenly appeared in the Mercenary Kingdom, and unlike in the past, they just relied on instinct to attack the surrounding creatures.

There seemed to be someone behind them commanding them, and they began to attack the major cities of the Mercenary Kingdom in an organized manner. Even the capital, Kale, was in danger under the siege of tens of thousands of undead monsters.

In order to reverse the situation, the elders of the kingdom had to ask for help from the Phylician Empire and the Odu Alliance, but this request for help just caused chaos in the entire mercenary kingdom.

For some reasons at that time, the Odu Alliance did not send a large number of reinforcements to support the Mercenary Kingdom. Instead, the Phylician Empire immediately responded to the Mercenary Kingdom's call for help. In addition, it also sent one of the three ace legions of the Empire.

Two legions - the Flame Dragon Heavy Infantry Regiment and the Water Dragon Magic Regiment came to help.

Under the command of the three great empire generals, Fire Emperor Delos and Ice Emperor Bius, the plight of the Mercenary Kingdom was immediately alleviated.

But the problem lies precisely here. The imperial army helped the Mercenary Kingdom repel the attack of the Undead Legion, and at the same time, it slowly took control of various important cities in the Mercenary Kingdom.

And it seemed that it had formed an alliance with the Undead Army. After confirming that the Undead Army had been completely wiped out from this world, the Empire suddenly switched sides.

Faced with such a sudden attack, most of the cities in the Mercenary Kingdom fell almost overnight.

Although there were no imperial troops stationed in Kale City at the time, it soon fell under siege by the imperial army.

Originally, relying on the strength of the four major mercenary groups, as long as they defended Kale City and relied on the solid city walls, the Phylicians might not be able to capture it in a short time.

On the other hand, since the Phylicians must be exhausted after traveling a long distance, as long as they are delayed for a period of time, the Austrian Alliance and the Free Alliance will naturally not stand idly by.

After all, the Phylicians' ambition to dominate the entire continent was already known to everyone when they planned the war with the elves. In addition, the subsequent initiative to launch a war against the dragons further illustrates this problem.

The only one in the mainland that can compete with the Phylician Empire in military terms is the mercenary kingdom that also advocates martial arts.

Everyone understands the truth of the cold war, so the Aldo Alliance and the Free Alliance City will never sit back and watch the Phylicians eat the Mercenary Kingdom. If they stand idly by and watch, it is tantamount to digging their own graves.

However, at this juncture, two of the four major mercenary groups, Canglan and Panshi, openly betrayed the Mercenary Kingdom.

Not only did they help the Phylician Empire capture the city of Kale, but they also massacred their former comrades.

Due to the sudden incident, a large number of soldiers from the Thunder Mercenary Group and the Divine Fire Mercenary Group were ruthlessly wiped out without even having time to resist.

"Hmph, if it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the undead army, Felicia's wish to attack us would be simply wishful thinking." After Xilu finished speaking, he cursed angrily.

"Conspiracy, this is a complete conspiracy! The Phylicians actually put all their efforts into planning such a conspiracy that shocked the mainland." Edward and Bogosi on the side shouted out almost at the same time after listening to Xilu's description.

"What do you mean? Although the Phylicians' invasion plan is very rigorous, it would be too hasty to regard it as a conspiracy theory..."

Xilu was baffled by what Edward and Bogosi said.

"Bogesi and I still had questions, but now after listening to what you said, everything suddenly becomes clearer." Edward shook his head and said.

Although he gave a general description of the battle between himself and Bogesi against the Immortal King Alaba, as well as all the things they encountered afterwards, to Xi Lu.

After just saying that, Xilu was also shocked.

Obviously he was surprised that the Phylicians would go to great lengths to plan an all-round invasion, even though the two kingdoms were allies before.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Edward finally broke the silence.

"By the way, let's talk about the people you brought. It seems that many of them are members of the Divine Fire Mercenary Group. Didn't it mean that the Divine Fire Mercenary Group was annihilated on the day Kalei fell?"

"This is a coincidence. I have been practicing in the Central Mountains since we broke up. Then one day I happened to meet the leader of the cultivator, so I joined the Shenhuo Mercenary Group."

"Good guy, it turns out that the marksman known as the Vulcan Arrow is you?" Edward expressed surprise at Xilu's words.

"Haha, that's right. I haven't contacted you since I joined the Divine Fire Mercenary Group, because I feel that my cultivation is not enough, and I want to become stronger before meeting you again.

But I didn't expect to see you in such an embarrassing form, Edward." Xilu said with a wry smile and shook his head.

"On the night when Canglan and the Panshi mercenary group rebelled, I happened to be ordered to guard the north gate of the city wall.

The sudden change caused our troops to become chaotic for a while. At that time, I sensed that something was wrong, so I led my brothers and rushed out of the north gate.

Fortunately, Red was there at the time, otherwise we might have directly told him where he was. After all, Felicia's infantry captain is really strong." Xilu said with a look of fear on his face.

"What about Luke? Where did that little magician go?" Edward interrupted abruptly.

"Luke..." Xilu's eyes immediately dimmed when he heard the name.

"He was there that day, but there were too many pursuers in Felicia. In order to ensure that we could escape unscathed, he, he broke through the upper limit of his magic power and forced the use of level 5 earthquake magic, so in the end, in the end he...

"

After listening to Xi Lu's words, Edward couldn't help but clenched his fists. He could probably guess what happened next even without Xi Lu's explanation.

After hanging out with a top magician like Merlin for so long, I have seen pigs run away even if I have never eaten pork.

If you forcefully use high-level magic, you may die due to exhaustion of mental energy.

Ellie has already done this kind of thing. Fortunately, Ellie is a magical genius that is absolutely rare to see in a century, and she is born with very strong mental power.

However, even so, after using the Absolute Magic Forbidden Zone, Ellie collapsed for several days before recovering.

"So this team is the resistance army you brought out?"

Bogosi looked at Edward, who was still immersed in grief, and then asked.

"Absolutely. In short, I will never allow the Phylicians to act recklessly on our land. Even if I allow it, I believe the longbow in my hand will not allow it."

Xilu said as he took off the dark red long bow on his back and waved it in front of everyone.

"This bow of yours is very special. Can you let me see it?"

When Bogosi saw this longbow, he suddenly felt something very familiar.

Xilu nodded, and then handed his longbow to Bogexi.

The moment Bogosi's hand touched the longbow, the longbow suddenly emitted a burst of dazzling red light, and the twin swords hanging on Bogosi's waist, Lei Zhen, actually emitted a dazzling sound at this time.

The golden light seemed to be responding to the long bow.

"This is..." Everyone present was stunned by this sight.

Edward immediately became curious and immediately took the two of them to find Ellie to find out.

After all, compared to warriors like them who only use brute force on the battlefield, magicians definitely have much more profound knowledge than them.

Next, with Ellie's explanation, everyone finally figured out the origin of the long bow in Xi Lu's hand.

In fact, it is similar to Edward's initial guess. The long bow on the west road also belongs to one of the guardian weapons - Meteor Bow Crimson Flame.

Like Bogexi's double sword Thunder Shock, Fei Yan's bow is always attached with a strong fire element. As long as the user instills enough fighting spirit, even if there are no arrows, Fei Yan's fire element will condense the user's fighting spirit to form

Magic arrow.

"I didn't expect that two of the guardian weapons that had disappeared for nearly a thousand years would appear in a short period of time. This is not a good sign." After explaining to everyone, Ellie couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"By the way, Edward, and you, Bogosi, what are your plans next?" After several people were excited for a while, Xilu asked.

"I want to join you, and I also don't allow anyone to do evil in our mercenary kingdom." Bogosi immediately expressed his attitude after hearing this.

"What about you, Edward?"

"This..." Edward hesitated. Although he also wanted to stay in the Mercenary Kingdom at the moment, when he broke up with Merlin, Merlin asked him to take Ellie out of the Mercenary Kingdom.

Although the reason was not given, Merlin's words certainly made sense.

It was obvious that he would not be able to rest assured if Ellie went to the north alone.

After all, Ellie is not like him, who has been working as a mercenary since she was a teenager to make a living on the edge of a knife. After all, she is still a girl who has not been exposed to the world, and she is a girl who does not even have memories of the past.

"Although I really want to stay here, I must abide by the agreement. Merlin told me to take Ellie away from here. So..." Before Edward could finish his words, West Road and Bogosi showed disappointment on their faces.

expression.

After all, if Edward, who has the strength of a sword master, is willing to stay here, he will definitely be a trump card for the resistance.

"Forget it, there is no way to force this matter. The great wizard's entrustment must be based on his foresight." Xilu could only smile bitterly in the end.

"I'm sorry, I..." Edward looked helpless and was about to say something else. At this time, Ellie interrupted him.

"Edward, I, I want to stay."

Hearing Ellie's words, Edward couldn't help being surprised.

In fact, as Merlin's proud disciple, Ellie has always obeyed Merlin's words.

Merlin asked her to leave the Mercenary Kingdom this time, and she never expressed any objection along the way.

Now hearing that she planned to stay in the Mercenary Kingdom against Merlin's instructions made Edward feel a little hard to accept.

"Your teacher told me to take you out of here. If you don't want to leave, that guy Merlin..."

"Don't worry, Edward, the teacher asked me to leave here. He should have guessed that there will be chaos in the Mercenary Kingdom, and he hopes that I can go to a safe place.

However, if things are really like what you said, and the Phylicians try to rule the entire continent, wouldn't the outcome be the same for everyone there?

Instead of doing this, it's better to stay here. Don't forget, I am a sixth-level magician. I have enough strength and reason to join the resistance and add strength to everyone." Although there was still some hesitation on Ellie's face, her tone was very strong.

firm.

"Oh, I really can't do anything about you. Since I won't leave, there is no need for me to leave the Mercenary Kingdom. This is the place where I grew up, and I also have the obligation to protect this land.

However, I want to make it clear in advance that if Merlin really wants to come to accuse me, I will not take the blame. Ellie, you can deal with him yourself." After Edward scratched his hair, he finally agreed to the girl's request.

After all, this is Ellie's own wish, and as Ellie said, if the Phylicians really target the entire Sebion, it will be the same no matter where they escape.

Rather than fleeing in an unfamiliar environment, it would be better to fight the enemy to the death on a familiar land. "Then I welcome you all in the name of the resistance."

Seeing that not only Edward and Bogosi, two martial arts masters, but also a sixth-level magician joined, Xilu happily expressed his respect to everyone.

Misty Canyon - Just like her name, the depths of the canyon are filled with mist all day long.

Entering it, you feel like you are in a fairyland. However, the local villagers do not dare to get too close to this beautiful canyon because there are too many strange things under its beautiful appearance.

No one has seen the true appearance of the valley bottom. Although there are often some curious people and adventurous teams who want to find out, all those who try to reach the bottom of the valley will disappear for some reason without exception.

What's even more inexplicable is that it will reappear at the mouth of the valley within a few days.

And all of them will lose their memories after entering the valley.

What is even more puzzling is that after teams were dispatched to the three major magic holy places to inspect it, they unanimously declared it a forbidden area and hoped that adventurers would not get involved, otherwise they will be responsible for any accidents.

"Master Magician, although I may be too talkative, do you really plan to enter the Misty Canyon?"

The old man said to a magician in front of him who was wearing a dark purple magic robe.

"Yes. Old man, thank you for leading the way.

You should go back quickly, I will be alone next time." The magician nodded, and then handed the old man a few gold coins, "These are the rewards you deserve."

"But... this..." The old man wanted to give the magician a few words of advice, but the magician didn't give him any more time to speak and had already stepped into the depths of the canyon alone.

"Oh, today's young people are so bold..."

The old man sighed, shook his head and left there.

The lonely back of the magician was slowly walking towards the deepest part of the canyon. At this moment, the sky around him seemed to be filled with smoke, and the surrounding scenery was also vaguely visible.

He didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenes and just continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, a pleasant singing sound came to my ears.
