“…we saved.” Samimi said.
Upon hearing this, Fabiana’s pace quickened slightly.
“This town was lucky, but not every town gets to encounter us.”
Ahead, after walking a short distance, they found a village destroyed by war. Houses were burned by great fire, the village filled with corpses, all property looted. Even more terrifying, there were a few red-eyed zombies gnawing on the bodies.
But the corpses, gnawed beyond recognition, did not stand up to become zombies. They were nearly reduced to skeletons. In other words, these zombie soldiers had no infectious contamination ability.
“Spreading the infection would only make the situation more uncontrollable. They treat zombies as disposable biological weapons, ensuring that no other malicious person steals their zombies to do things. It seems that within the Order of Compassion, there is a strategist whose planning and cunning are no less than mine.” Samimi analyzed.
Sherry William had already traced out Wind Blades, decapitating all the zombies, instantly eliminating the threat.
“Unforgivable.”
Fabiana did not have the optimistic heart of a mage. Looking at the burning village and the brutally killed villagers, she immediately thought of her own murdered Giant Whale Knights, and her fists clenched.
The ground was covered with messy footprints and wheel tracks.
Niubao went to the end of the village and found the direction the enemy had retreated.
“I can track the enemy’s whereabouts. Master, do we pursue?”
Samimi pretended to ask Fabiana’s opinion.
“We must pursue. But Mimi, do not use Holy Flame Enchantment. That is the signature ability of Demon-Hunting Nuns. It will easily let the artificial vampires recognize your identity.” Fabiana analyzed.
Samimi nodded. “Makes sense. Don’t worry, I also have General Flame Enchantment.”
“Why do you learn so many Flame Enchantments?” Sherry William teased.
“I learned them naturally.” Samimi answered dismissively.
Then she added a fire, causing the entire village wreckage to burn even more fiercely.
“Let sin be purified in the flames.”
However, just as the Revenge Squad was about to leave and continue tracking the Rebel Army’s trail—
“Halt! Damn rebels!”
“Surround them!”
At this moment, a large group of heavy infantry and knights suddenly burst out from the surroundings, encircling them as they just stepped out of the village entrance.
When they looked closely, the arrivals seemed somewhat familiar. Wasn’t that the [Divine Emperor Knights] under Marquis Edward?
“Heh, didn’t dare come before, but now that we’re leaving, they pop out to steal credit.”
The one at the lead, Samimi still remembered him. He was the one who appeared last time, organized a temporary army to attack the rebels, and got beaten so badly he ran away like a dog—the commander of the Divine Emperor Knights. Forgot his name. Huh? That’s not right. I remember the commander representing the Divine Emperor Knights at the Round Table Meeting was not this person.
“I am Sorent, commander of the Divine Emperor Knights! Damned rebels! Surrender!” Commander Sorent drew his sword to the sky and roared in anger.
“We attended the Round Table Meeting. The commander of the Divine Emperor Knights I saw was not you.” Fabiana asked.
“Well… ahem, I am the Acting Commander.” Acting Commander Sorent replied, sounding a bit uneasy.
“A bunch of trash! We killed the remaining monsters in the village, we collected the villagers’ bodies, we blocked the pollution, and yet we have to be yelled at by these garbage? Can I kill them? I can’t stand it!” Sherry William roared in anger.
Rolling strong winds were already brewing, and countless Wind Blades were ready to be released. As expected of Green-haired Cat, she immediately hissed, unable to swallow even a little grievance, even more arrogant than Miworm.
Acting Commander Sorent’s face darkened instantly. He opened his mouth but couldn’t utter half a word for a moment, stuck in between, unable to advance or retreat.
‘Should he continue to be tough? Or just back down? But how could an acting commander back down? However, it was obvious that these were people he couldn’t afford to provoke. What else could he do but back down?’
“You… the beastman nun with horns, I remember you. You joined our troops last time to suppress the rebels, right?” Acting Commander Sorent suddenly found a breakthrough.
Niubao was being recognized for the first time. Although her appearance was also special, she usually had no presence. Now, even in front of her other three teammates, she really had no presence. This was Niubao’s special innate ability—she naturally possessed a Stealth Aura, reducing the chance of being noticed by enemies, making her a good candidate for an assassin. Of course, Niubao studied under Miworm and had been training in multiple classes simultaneously. Besides being able to switch weapons, she could also switch classes, so calling her an assassin was not a problem.
“You must be that pastor from last time, right?” Acting Commander Sorent also recognized Samimi.
Of course, Samimi was covered head to face, wearing a nun’s cloak, a veil, and an eye blindfold. If they hadn’t met before, it would be impossible to recognize her.
“…” Samimi did not respond, remaining silent. Just a moment ago she had sneered and mocked others inwardly, but now she started pretending to be a mysterious and quiet beauty.
“We came to suppress the rebels, we are your allies.” Let Fabiana practice negotiations. As the Holy Maiden War Commander, she must hone her speaking skills.
“You are too suspicious! Which lord’s troops are you? You attended the Round Table Meeting? What is your goal? Explain quickly!” Acting Commander Sorent challenged.
Bam! Sherry William raised her hand and fired an Air Cannon. An attack without any warning. Acting Commander Sorent was directly blasted away by the invisible air pressure. He was knocked off his horse and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. And the horse beneath him was completely unaffected; only the person was blasted away. His troops were also collectively frozen in place from fear, unable to muster any thoughts of resistance. They dared not move, dared not speak, and barely dared to breathe.
“I don’t like the tone of your voice. Think carefully about how to speak, or my Wind Blades will cut off your tongue.” Sherry William threatened coldly.
“Senior Sherry, please stop.” Fabiana immediately acted as a mediator, defusing the awkwardness between both sides.
Acting Commander Sorent was helped up by others. He was bruised and aching, and his face no longer showed arrogance, only fear.
“Wind Magic and Wind Battle Aura are both top-tier show-off techniques.” Samimi shook her head, unable to retort. Too much showing off. It seemed that she had wronged Sherry William in the past. This woman joining our team could also be very effective. If Miss Veronica the Assassin used her knowledge and information to lead us smoothly, then Sherry William used a mage’s violent intimidation to suppress all mortals.
“Young lady heroes, let me take you to our safe territory to rest for a while.”
