"Liliwei, are you sure there is really a forest ahead? Could it be a lie?" Paladin Frankel asked the 33rd time.

Originally accusing a woman of lying in a stern tone was not allowed to this aristocratic knight who had been well-educated since childhood, although the "woman" was still a twelve-year-old child. But after walking in the cold and frozen land for several hours, Golden Rose, who had just joined this year, finally couldn't help but question whether this little girl who kept telling the way was just lying to him.

"Great Knight, how dare I lie to you?" the freckled girl Neildefi frowned in displeasure, and pointed to a snow-covered hill ahead; "Look, we're here."

"It's finally here..." The team following behind the two men also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really a strange team.

Looking back at the group of people behind him, Lili sighed slightly, complaining that she was not lucky enough.

Early in the morning, I was going to go out to find my younger brother who ran outside the village to play, but I met this group of strange travelers at the entrance of the village.

Not only are there short people as tall as themselves, but there are also tall and slender beauties. Of course, the woman with pointed ears is beautiful, but far from the young men wearing golden armor in the team are eye-catching.

How much is that armor worth...

The little girl stared at the knight's armor in a daze, and all she thought about was how much bread, meat and other thoughts she could change.

"Little sister." The knight in golden armor squatted down and smiled. "We heard from Gheim Village that there is a forest near your village. Is it true?"

"Forest?" Liliwei tilted her head and thought about it. Then she remembered the place she and her younger brother often went to; "Yes, there is, but it is not a forest, at most a small forest."

"That's great..." The people who supported each other laughed when they heard Liliwei's words.

"Then can you tell us where the woods are?"

"It's very close. I walked forward from here and arrived after crossing the river."

Everyone looked in the direction the little girl pointed and saw only a white snow field.

"Little sister, can you tell me exactly where I am?" The Knight looked at the wilderness in front of him, and gave up the idea of ​​finding him.

"Let me do this, I'll take you there. But as a condition, you have to give me some compensation." Looking at these strangers, the little girl had already thought that if she led the way, she would get a considerable income.

"This..." The Knight turned around and looked at his companion.

"I'll give you a gold coin, please lead the way." A middle-aged man in gorgeous costume stretched out his hand, and a shining coin lay in his palm.

Liliwei's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she quickly grabbed the gold coin and watched carefully.

That's right, it's real gold coins.

I have seen an old hunter in the village boasting that the strange beasts they hunted were sold for a good price. Liliwei, the gold coins she revealed at that time, still remembers them.

"Okay, I'll take you there." The little girl who gave up looking for her brother led a group of strangers out of her village and walked towards the east.

Finally, after walking for nearly three Langsuo (hours), the group finally arrived at their destination.

"Is this what you call a forest?" Frankel was disappointed when he stared at the forest that was frozen in front of him, which was left with bare branches; "We are looking for a forest with leaves, little sister."

"Of course it's a forest with leaves, come with me." The little girl took the lead in walking into the withered forest.

Gradually, the scenery ahead appeared green, the cold snow fields under your feet had green grass, and green tender leaves grew on the withered branches.

"Oh... this is really a miracle." People all exclaimed in surprise.

It can still maintain the greenness of spring in the ice and snow. This forest is indeed magical.

"It should be here, Lord Saan." The young knight looked at the woods full of vitality around him, believing that they finally found the rumored green forest after several days of hard travel.

"That's right, according to the literature, it should be this area." The middle-aged man, who was called the city lord, also breathed a sigh of relief. If he came here, his illness could be cured.

He turned his head to the pale male elf beside him. If this noble guest from the Western Continent died in his territory, His Majesty the King would definitely punish him severely.

If it weren't for the purpose of finding the legendary woods that he was the lord of a city, how could he have traveled thousands of miles to this wilderness?

"How are you?" Frankel looked at his friend whose face was still not improving with some concern.

"No, although there is spiritual energy in this forest, it still cannot drive away the toxins I have." The elf man with a blonde hair shook his head. He walked to a big tree and put his hand on the trunk.

"Damn it, the poison of that demon clan is so powerful? Even you, as a tree elves, can't drive it away?" Frankel looked down at another poisoned person who had to rely on someone to stand firm. The noble daughter had a purple face and seemed to be unable to survive.

"Miss Tiya..."

"Mr. Soder, thank you and your friends for helping with treatment along the way. I... am so sorry, it has dragged you down..." The young girl's face was covered with the shadow of death, and strange spiral patterns covered her face. If a mage who is proficient in magic is present, it can be immediately identified. This is a very vicious curse. The cursed person will die within ten days, and anyone who tries to remove the toxins will be infected.

"Can't you save her in the end..." Frankel was unwilling to believe that after working so much, he could not save the life of the woman in front of him.

When I met this noble lady who fled alone on the Ningal border, the Paladin and his elf friends who were ordered to secretly patrol Ningal by the Emperor's secret patrol of Ningal did not expect how much trouble they would bring to them when they saved the woman in the snow.

First they were chased by Ningal's soldiers, and then they encountered the demons who were sneak attacking. If they had not sought the help of the lord of the small city on the border in the name of the church, perhaps they would not have felt this legendary forest with spiritual power so quickly.

"Damn it, how good it would be if I had learned the healing technique." The young paladin couldn't help but feel annoyed that he had ignored the healing technique that every paladin had to learn, and just studied swordsmanship.

"Flan, don't blame yourself too much. It's not your fault." Tree elf Soder comforted his friend, how could a knight who had just been promoted from a royal knight to a church member learn the spells of the Church of Light in just a few months?

"Huh..." No one noticed that the little girl leading the way seemed to be attracted by something, and she walked towards the low bushes beside her.

"There is a person lying here." Liliwei's words immediately attracted the attention of the Paladin. When she pushed aside the dense branches, Frankel could not believe her eyes.

A human girl was lying in essence on the grass not far away, with a look of pain. The sunlight shining from the top of the tree left a starry afterglow on her body. The soft hair as dark as midnight showed that she was a dark clan. However, the beautiful head with a bright blonde hair attached to the girl's chest armor was more shocked than the identity of the dark clan.

Looking at the strange scene of only the head left but still breathing, before Frankel could react, the girl lying on the grass opened her eyes and sat upright, staring at her hands in a daze.

Seeing the undead with only one head, Lili retreated in fear.

But I didn't pay attention to the branches under my feet.

"Crack!"

The sound alarmed the dead soul who was staring at her hands in a daze. She raised her head and happened to see two humans hiding behind the branches.

"The Undead!!"

“Church of Light!!”

Both sides shouted out their respective hostile camp names in surprise.

At this moment, a guard standing outside the woods screamed. When people turned around, they saw that his throat had been cut off, and the blood that kept gushing out dyed the forest full of auspicious aura with blood.

"Who?!" The forest elf shouted and threw the dagger on his waist in the direction where the soldier fell.

"Haha, you actually dragged that woman so far," a humanoid creature with lavender skin appeared beside the soldier, her charming facial features and a sharp blade dripping from her hands formed a strange picture.

"Demons!!"

Lord Sa'an and his men were panicked and pulled out their respective weapons one after another.

Of course, the elf Soder did not ignore the "uncle" shouted by his friend. He glanced at the location where Frankel was standing. Sure enough, he saw a human with dark bodies behind the bushes. No, he should have said that he still maintained the appearance of a human.

For a moment, the atmosphere dropped to the lowest point.

There are demons in front and undead behind. Could it be that they are trapped?

"Oh, I thought the lichs in the Death Leader had retreated to the Eastern Continent, but I didn't expect there were still no undead in the ice crystal." Another demon appeared in people's sight. This time it was a man. The gorgeous robe and the totem embroidered with the evil god Shasili meant that he was not a warrior, but a clergyman.

"Maru, she is the enemy." The first demon woman to appear pulled out another weapon on her waist; "The Church of Light has formed an alliance with the night elves, and the undead who had joined the ranks of the alliance a month ago are now temporary ally with the church."

"Of course I know this." The demon priest shouted in displeasure. As early as three days ago, the magic communication from the Eastern Continent caused the high-level priests of the demon yelling about trouble.

Originally, the alliance between the undead and the night elves was a headache. Now the Light Church will put down its figure and run to form an alliance with the Dark Clan, which forced the heads of the demons who were already planning to enter the Northern Continent to reassess the current situation.

I thought that the undead of Ice Crystal had all withdrawn from Heyinvega after the last wave of attack, but I didn't expect that there were still undead who dared to move in such an inland area.

Before they formed an alliance, they were mortal enemies with the church.

As they spoke, demons appeared on the edge of the forest one after another. The demons holding weapons surrounded the humans.

Of course, Roland also noticed the sudden increase in demons nearby. Judging from their appearance, they were specifically here to surround these humans. However, she cared more about hearing the demons say that the night elves had become alliances with the church.

Is this possible?

The church has always been in power with the dark clan, especially the night elves. Now they are in alliance? What does this... mean?

"Oh, the double black undead, this is really rare." Of course, the demons also noticed the undead who walked out of the bushes.

"Nasha, don't do anything randomly!" The demon priest stopped the female demon warrior who was eager to try.

"Why, even the undead who claims to be immortal may not be my opponent." Nasha, holding two weapons, looked at the priest dissatisfied.

"I know you are a first-class warrior in the demon clan, but you'd better not try the terribleness of the undead with your life." Maru had a headache with Nasha beside her. As a warrior, she was indeed very strong, but being strong alone was not enough to defeat the undead.

Moreover, what made the priest care about was the special appearance of the undead double black.

Double black... Truk? No, the dead body itself does not have any magic power. The evil scepter in her hand clearly shows that she is the kind of ordinary person without any magic power. But...

Maru frowned as she stared at the sleeping head.

If the two black female undead with a human appearance is a moving corpse, then the head attached to her is the real undead. The strong aura of death and the fearful magic power have repeatedly shown that he is definitely not an ordinary undead.

At least in the eyes of Maru, who had dealt with the undead, this undead with only one head is an extremely terrible enemy.

The demons and the undead are both races exiled by God, and they both hate each other. Even if the Church of Light does not form an alliance with the Night Elves, there will be an inevitable battle in their current situation.

"Prince!" Seeing Maru looking dazed, Nasha shouted softly; "We have so many people, are we still afraid that we can't fight that undead? The Shalin Priest will definitely be happy that we have captured a high-level undead."

"Wait..." Before Maru could stop him, the demon warriors rushed towards the humans and the undead ahead under Nasha's leadership.

"Damn, these evil demons." While signaling the city lord's guard to protect the city lord Saan and others, the paladin pulled out his weapons, and the long sword that had been blessed by the priests emitted a soft white light.

The demons who rushed towards Frankel suddenly discovered that the seemingly soft light shone with dazzling light after touching their cursed weapons. Immediately afterwards, the seemingly handsome boy's sword pierced into his heart.

I underestimated him... With this idea, the demons who fought alone fell down.
To be continued...
