Soul Echo

After receiving the blessing of the divide technique, the civilians can run faster than the dead Spirit Warriors, and their bodies have become more vigorous, and they can respond in time even if they are about to fall come over.

With mercenaries and temple guards holding back the undead Spirit Warriors, the undead army can't keep up.

Even so, when Zhong Ye and Duanhou's team caught up with the large army, they still saw a lot of dead bodies on the road, including mercenaries and temple guards, as well as civilians.

In this regard, they can only keep silent.

The dead Spirit Warriors strictly followed the general's orders. The fleeing team was stretched very long due to the large number of people. The front end even escaped from the city, while the dead Spirit Warriors were still chasing.

There was the sound of battle in front, Zhong Ye quickened his pace and rushed into the battlefield dragging his big sword.

Under the sword edge of the moonlight, the dead Spirit Warriors were unable to withstand a single blow. Although their fighting skills were shrewd, they were still inferior to Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye didn't know how many times a similar situation was repeated. When he came back to his senses, he had already left the city with his team, and there were no enemies ahead.

They followed the trail left by the large army, and the people continued to advance, because they did not know that there was no enemy behind them.

Zhong Ye didn't tell people the news, but let the team rely on this inertia to continue to move forward, away from Laurel City, and only announced the news when the mercenaries reported that someone was behind.

No cheers, no cheers, just tiredness and numbness and sadness on people's faces.

This night they experienced too much and lost too much.

Everyone lost their house, many lost loved ones, and most importantly, their city, and didn't know where to go next.

The clergy helped Zhong Ye count the number of people, including mercenaries and temple guards, only less than 800 people survived, and hundreds of people fell on the way to escape.

But for them, maybe this is already a 'good result'.

The time limit of the divide technique has passed and people can no longer walk, so Zhong Ye took people to find a temporary resting place to let people recover their strength.

Looking at the numb, lowly weeping civilians, Zhong Ye was silent while holding the big sword.

When they escaped, the main force of the undead army was not attracted. If he had known this, should he have chosen to lead the team to clear all the dead spirit warriors surrounding the church before starting? Escape...

Zhong Ye couldn't help sighing deeply, looked sideways in the direction of Laurel City, and frowned slowly.

The main force of the undead army has not caught up, which means that they are still attacking the castle. If they use the Life Sacrifice in the castle, they may be able to open the 'Gate of the Abyss'.

Zhong Ye doesn't know what the 'Gate of the Abyss' is like. He hasn't seen it with his own eyes, but he came out of the occupied area and saw the aberrations, and the aberrations are just A derivative of Abyssal Power, the true demon is said to be more terrifying.

If the undead army summon leaves the gate of the abyss, with Laurel City as the center, several surrounding territories may be corrupted.

But...what can he do now?

Zhong Ye clenched his fists. Priest's dive technique at the cost of his life not only healed his injuries, but also replenished his physical strength, and it was not time-sensitive.

He recovered all battle strength before he could lead the team to annihilate the pursued dead Spirit Warriors on the way to escape.

But what if he regains battle strength?

Can one person stop that undead army?

He's not a 'Legendary'!

"...let me know, and if you're rested, you're ready to go!"

The young apostle was stunned for a while, and didn't say much, just following Zhong Ye's instructions Go and tell people the news.

After losing the priest, Zhong Ye became the leader of the team, although he was an Easterlander, and although he came to Laurel City for only one day, his previous performance earned him everyone's attention. Trust and respect.

People didn't complain too much, didn't ask why, and just got up.

The team carried only a small portion of food and very little fresh water.

They have a team of more than 700 people, not to mention the wilderness, and even the village can't solve the food problem. Find a place that at least solves your drinking water problem.

Although his map was in Laurel City, there were also civilians who were familiar with the nearby terrain. They acted as guides and could quickly lead the team to find a water source.

The miserable Blood Moon slid westward slowly, the procession walking and stopping, stopping and going, stopping and stopping for hours without getting very far.

This is to take care of those who are left behind - most of the civilians don't know how to control their stamina, and they used up too much stamina when they escaped from the city, and they haven't been able to recover until now.

Zhong Ye walked around the team, keeping the dangers of the wilderness out of the team.

The other warriors can still take turns, but he has never rested. Seeing him working so hard, no one else dared to complain.

When he was resting again, the old scholar found Zhong Ye.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye..." He paused, thinking about the next words.

After taking a few deep breaths, the old scholar said slowly again: "The team is up to you."

Zhong Ye slightly startled, he saw the old scholar raised his thin fingers, Nodding his head, he said, "I know what 'abyss' is, and I have also seen that ceremony. Now a lot of inspiration pops up in my mind, and I suddenly solve many problems that have puzzled me for a long time. So I think, I was probably inspired by the abyss."

"So..." Zhong Ye's mind moved and his eyes widened.

"So I'm ready to die." The old scholar said calmly, "I don't think I can resist the call of the abyss, my willpower is not that strong, but as a Stein family, I can't be stained My surname—my great-grandfather, grandfather, and father have all carried out the 'Stein's aristocratic spirit' throughout their lives, and I can't shame them, nor my children."

He looked at Zhong Ye with fuzzy and sincere eyes, and said softly, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, if I fall behind, please don't let the team stop."

Zhong Ye looked at the old man. scholar, silent for a long time.

"...OK."

Soon, the team set off again.

Zhong Ye looked to the end of the team from time to time, and saw an old hunched silhouette dropped by the team, sighed in his heart, and looked away.

Looking at the team moving away, the old scholar silently lowered his glasses, forced a smile, climbed up the cliff alone, stood on the cliff, and saw the team go farther and farther, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Glad.

Then jumped off the cliff.

Zhong Ye lowered his head, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant he felt.

Why do good people have to die? Why should good people like Gerard Priest and Mr. Stein pay for the murders committed by that army?

And, are they still trying to open the door to the abyss? !

The palms clenched the hilt silently, and heard a shout from the front: "We're here!"

The two silhouettes waved at the mountainside, and the whole team followed suit. With a jolt, he quickened his pace.

The source of the water is a stream, clear enough to see the pebbles at the bottom.

People rested in the open space left by the last team passing by, but the space couldn't hold that many people, and they also needed to clear the surrounding woodland.

After the team stopped, Zhong Ye relaxed, turned around and called out the two assistants.

"This team will be handed over to you. I hope you can lead them to escape as far as possible, and then spread the news of Laurel City as soon as possible."

This statement one When he came out, the young assistant was in a hurry, "Where are you going, Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

Zhong Ye turned his head and looked towards the way he came, and gloomy face said: "I will go back to Laurel City and see if I can You can't stop those goddamn undead!"

The two assistant priests were stunned, and the middle-aged priest took a deep breath and asked, "Are you going to go back alone? Go alone to stop that Group of undead?"

"I can't just watch them open the door of the abyss." Zhong Ye shook the head, "Besides, if I can't stop it, I can run. Anyway, don't worry. , I won't die, maybe one day, we can meet again somewhere else."

"But..." The young assistant hurriedly brow beaded with sweat, opened his mouth to speak, but was caught by Zhong Ye blocked the words with his eyes.

Zhong Ye patted his shoulder, looked towards the middle-aged altar again, and nodded lightly

, "Please."

Immediately, he strode forward.

For a while, the more you think, the more angry you become, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose!

Why do good people have to die? They don't have to pay the slightest price?

Zhong Ye imposing manner High-spiritedly carrying the great sword, he walked into the darkness and disappeared into the sight of the two acolytes.

That back, no matter how you look at it, looks like he's going to fight to the death with those dead Spirit Art!

Remembering Zhong Ye's resolute look, the young apostle sighed deeply, his whole body seemed to be taken away by this sigh, and his back suddenly hunched down.

…………

At first, people didn't notice Zhong Ye's departure, they just thought he was going into the jungle to explore the danger.

Until dawn was approaching, when people were falling asleep, someone suddenly panicked and asked: "Where's Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

The shout woke everyone up, and the people Subconsciously looking around, looking around, gradually panicking.

"Where is Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

"Where is Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

"Where is Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

They Repeating this sentence, I stood up from the ground, but I couldn't find Zhong Ye's silhouette.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye has returned to Laurel City!"

The middle-aged apostle stood up and announced loudly, "But don't worry, Your Excellency Zhong Ye is just investigating the situation, after all That is an army. If you want to defeat them, you need corresponding information, and Your Excellency Zhong Ye is very powerful. If you go alone, you can escape even if you are discovered. Don't worry, Your Excellency Zhong Ye did not leave, just to defeat that They drove us out of our homes, killed the undead army of our relatives, and went to find out information!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and some people didn't believe this explanation.

But at this moment, one of the mercenaries on the sentry suddenly ran back and shouted: "There is an army! An army is coming!"

Everyone looked at it in amazement, The man was startled, and his voice dropped a few tones, "They, they said they were from Supreme Sun Cult, and said...

"Going to Laurel City..."
