The Dean Has Arrived

Sandler exhaled all the air in his lungs, forming a distinct white mist in the cold night sky.

The metal armor was constantly taking away the heat from his body.

But compared to the chill in his heart, the chill in his body was nothing.

Holding the Noble Phantasm of Heroes, the right hand of the "Bird of Paradise", the must-hit bow, trembled slightly. I don't know if it was because of the cold or because of the fear of what I was going to do next.

No problem, as long as it is the same as usual, it will be fine to clean up the abyss demons.

He repeated it in his mind over and over again, as if trying to deceive himself.

"coming!"

He was awakened abruptly by the solemn voice of the knight commander.

With the assistance of the two buff magics of eagle eye and night vision, many shadowy figures can already be seen on the horizon of the grassland.

As they approached, Sandler found that although they were all injured, their young faces were still filled with smiles when they returned from victory.

'That team is gone. Please go to the funeral and get rid of them. '

That's what the officer at the time said.

Although he was mentally prepared, when he really wanted to face those former comrades-in-arms with a blade, Sandler still bit his lips involuntarily, trying to suppress the pain in his heart.

"If we engage in hand-to-hand combat with them, we will also be in danger of infection. When they come into range, we will shoot arrows directly." The knight commander drew out the long sword at his waist and held it high. This is an instruction action, once the long sword is swung down. That's when they start shooting arrows.

"Sandler, the power and range of your heroic treasure are stronger than ordinary crossbows. When I send out the signal, you don't care about other people, just shoot and kill the leader of that team."

Entering middle age, the knight commander with the vicissitudes engraved on his face seemed a little unbearable, and continued after a pause: "Be sure to seal your throat with an arrow, and don't let our former comrades-in-arms suffer too much."

"……learn."

Sandler took a deep breath, stabilized his hand, and drew the longbow.

There is no sense of exhilaration when shooting an abyssal demon. The Bird of Paradise, which used to be like an arm and a finger, has become like a heavy weight. Even opening the bow is a bit reluctant.

"Now, shoot!"

As the order was issued and the long sword was swung down, arrows flew out of the phalanx of their knight order like a heavy rain.

The arrows shot by the Bird of Paradise are also mixed in.

The army that hadn't expected to be attacked in the human territory suddenly became chaotic, and many people didn't even fade their smiles. He died under the arrow.

On the contrary, the leader seemed to sense the danger. Between lightning and flint, it rolled several times on the ground. He actually avoided the bird of paradise's sniper attack!

As a heroic treasure, the Bird of Paradise is not comparable to other miraculous treasures, but it also has a series of effects such as tracking, accelerating, and penetrating to the arrow. Not to mention the ability of the bird of paradise. Sandler alone is also a magic swordsman with first-class bow skills.

Once in a great battle, he shot and killed two leading demons with enchanted arrows alone, causing the demon army to collapse at a touch, and mankind won a brilliant victory. It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in that battle that he won the title of hero and the bird of paradise.

But now a magic swordsman who was no more than three rounds at most dodged his arrows.

It is true that the magic swordsman may be born with good perception, but the main reason is probably that Sandler himself is also wavering.

Seeing the leading magic swordsman fleeing against the rain of arrows and finally disappearing into the darkness, Sandler not only did not feel lost, but instead had a faint urge to pray for him.

But worries about possible reinfection from the escapee later overwhelmed that feeling.

Counting after the war, only one person was missing among the dead bodies all over the ground.

The three-turn magic swordsman, the leader of this army, and the former hero candidate, Heisen Ingenishil.

--Dividing line--

Hessen Ingenishil staggered and hid in a bush that was waist-high.

If someone saw his appearance now, he would definitely be shocked.

The left half of his face had been festered, and a lot of flesh had been torn off during the escape, and the bones could already be seen, and the eyeball of his left eye was just like that embedded in the eye socket of the skull, which looked very horrifying.

However, it may be that the plague has paralyzed his sense of pain. Even though it has become like this, he has no feeling at all.

In addition, there were many wounds on his body, nearly half of which were caused by arrows, and the other half were wounds caused by the bursting of blood blisters caused by the plague of walking corpses. Compared with the two, the wound on his wrist The wound bitten by the walking corpse looked inconspicuous instead.

"Why... the human knights are attacking us..." He held his head in pain.

"Could it be that they mistook us for abyssal demons... Yes, it must be so... This makes sense."

After gasping for breath for a while, he raised his head and took out a ring from his shirt with his bloody hand.

It was a ring made of sterling silver, and the place where gemstones should have been inlaid was still empty.

"Marian... please wait for me... I will definitely go back... and marry you..."

After coughing up blood, he stuffed the ring back into his pocket, tried to stand up, and identified the direction of Stein City under the dark night sky: "I am——I will never die like this!"

——Day 2. Terran Alliance Headquarters. Emperor Sword Knights Branch——

"It is precisely because of this that we, Wandering Funeral, applied for support from the Emperor Sword Knights."

Sandler said to Larry without the slightest expression on his face: "This is also an order from the command headquarters. The document will be sent back in the afternoon at the latest. Before that, we hope that you can start hunting for the escaped infected person immediately." .”

"So……"

Larry flipped through the temporary paperwork, put it aside, put his chin on his hands, stared at Sandler and said, "If we find him..."

"Summary execution."

Sandler's emotions were very complicated, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Captain, I can't accept it!"

Before Larry could speak, St. George, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help it: "I will never swing a weapon at my robe! Never!"

"They are no longer our comrades-in-arms." Sandler clenched his fists hard, his nails stuck deeply into his flesh, but he still said in a calm tone.

"sophistry!"

St. George snorted coldly.

"Ascalon." At this time, Larry said: "After the matter of the ancient dragon was resolved, you have been busy in the Knights, and you don't even have time to rest... The decisive battle is coming, I will Give you a few days off, and take a good rest."

"But..." St. George frowned and wanted to say something, but was stared back by his knight commander.

"This is an order." Larry said emphatically.

"……I see."

St. George frowned, but still nodded, and then he quickly left the room and walked out of the Emperor Sword Knights branch.

Because many people have come to the city of Stein, the streets are extremely bustling, and it is completely impossible to tell that it has only been built for a few months.

Walking on the noisy streets, St. George always felt unhappy.

Of course, he also understands that if it was a time of peace, the higher-ups would not deal with those infected directly as they are doing now, but would try to find a cure. But time is running out now, and they don't plan to plant a time bomb in their camp.

But swinging a sword at his companions has violated his principles, making him unable to join forces.

Just when he was planning to go out to look for Heisen by himself, a voice that surprised him suddenly sounded.

"Frowning all the time, happiness will run away."

"Partner! Have you come to Stein City too!" He raised his eyebrows, looking at Xi Wei who was slowly coming out of the alley, his heart was full of excitement.

"After all, I'm about to have a decisive battle with those guys from the abyss. As a member of mankind, how can I just survive in a safe corner, and I will naturally come here to help." Xi Wei said sanctimoniously, and then He said seriously again: "Compared to this, I have heard some strange rumors in the tavern recently..." (to be continued...)
