Red Moon Fifty-Two

Located on the border of Prague, the country of grassland, four adventurers stand next to the boulders that mark the border.

"Brena, let's go back to Gflange. If you continue to go deeper, you might encounter something more dangerous than last time." The middle-aged knight in well-made armor persuaded his companions with helpless expressions.

"No!! Ellie, you have reached this point, how can you let me give up?" The young woman in a mage outfit firmly opposed the return journey.

"I said, you two have been arguing for almost a day. Is there no conclusion yet?" The thief in his forties couldn't help rolling his eyes. He kept asking himself in his heart, why did such boring arguments last for so long?

"Forget it, Buddy, it's not the first time you've come out with them. Don't you know the tempers of these two people? Wait a little longer, maybe when the sun sets, we can know whether to continue moving forward or return the same way." A mercenary sitting on the grass next to him waved to the thief and signaled him to sit down and rest together.

After looking at the two companions who were still arguing, the thief knew that if these two quarrel, they would probably not have a result in a few hours.

Both sides held their own opinions and no one was willing to give in.

"Oh... I really regret it, why did you come out with them?" Buddy sat down in annoyance, raking his hair as if it was like a chicken coop.

"Just get used to it, anyway, they have been like this since ten years ago." The mercenary who spoke was named Halong, and they were friends who had known each other for many years. The four of them often took risks. After ten years, they were quite famous.

A month ago, the female mage Brena found the thief with a map that is said to be a ruin of ancient treasures.

With curiosity and greed for treasure, Halong, who had already started a family and gradually faded out of the mercenary world, was also pulled into this team looking for treasure.

However, Eli, who was a knight, always liked to preach. Although his starting point was good, as a hereditary nobleman, he always liked to stick to his own point of view, and another female mage who was also a nobleman often sang opposite him.

Quarrels have become the most common in this adventure team, and even if they work together again many years later, they are inevitable.

"Ah~~~~ I'm so hungry. When will they end the boring debate? I'm going to say that it's better to find a village to solve the problem of food and accommodation at the moment." The thief yawned boredly, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, hoping to see some villages and the like. Unfortunately, there was nothing nearby except the rolling hills and the green grass stretching to the distance.

"Hey...what is that?" As Buddy's eyes slid past the path behind them again, he was sure he saw something amazing.

Facing the sunset, a strange team came from afar.

Because their combination was too weird, the thieves could not take their eyes off the team.

"God of Shadow, what did I see..." The thief murmured to himself that Haron, who had originally planned to take a nap, opened his eyes.

"Oh... this is indeed a rare sight."

Hearing Haron, who had always been calm, both gave a rare word of surprise. During the quarrel, Brena and Ellie both turned their eyes to the direction their companions were looking at.

The gradually sinking sunset brings out four long shadows.

The front of the team was a handsome young man with a white horse. The golden armor and a cloak embroidered with the sun's emblem make people know from afar that he was a knight belonging to the Church of Light.

Following the Knight was a weak woman. She completely hid her appearance under a wide cloak, revealing only a pair of hands holding the reins. The excessive pale skin color would make people think that this lady must be seriously ill.

Then, a male elf with pointed ears entered the adventure team's sight. If he was careful, he could guess from his unique costume that the elf with a seemingly golden but actually flax-colored hair was not a white elf, but the most unique tribe among the elf - the tree elf.

If the combination of the first three is a bit strange, the one who walks at the end of the team will make everyone who sees it wonder if something is wrong with their eyes.

Yes, that's right - the dead.

How could it not be surprising that a dead soul, a human, a church knight and an elves walk together?

Unlike ordinary nightmares, the red mane of the nightmare walking in the sunset exudes an extremely strange heat like a burning flame. Even without the cover of the white skeleton armor, this nightmare with a horse-shaped appearance is still more intimidating than the warriors called wolves or Monte beasts. The sharp horns on its head indicate its identity - before death, this proud beast of death was once a unicorn known as the most beautiful creature.

Then he turned his eyes to the nightmare master. The black armor, which was completely opposite to the mount, was like a vortex of darkness. Not only was it not as bright as normal armor, but it seemed as dark as absorbing all the light. Only from the outline can it be vaguely seen that this is also a pair of armor with bone shape.

The handle on the waist was as dark as armor but with a faint black light in the center of the hilt of the sword, which kept turning his eyes, still making everyone who saw it feel creepy.

The dark blue cloak burned like the mane of a nightmare, churning, making people more curious about the face hidden under the black cloak.

"See, the Dead and the Church of Light will actually go on the road together..."

"Of course I saw it."

"Shh, they saw us."

Just as the four-member adventure team discussed the strange scene they saw, there were also four people on the other side of the road. Oh, no, it was said that the team with four members also noticed them.

"It seems that our unique team has attracted the attention of that adventure team, Frankel." Tree elf Soder almost discovered it when the thief's eyes were on the team.

"It's not like Nieldefez's pursuer, maybe an ordinary adventurer." Paladin Frankel observed carefully. The four people on the Border Stone were a typical adventure team.

"It's better to be careful. Don't forget that we have encountered several sneak attacks on the way with adventurers disguised themselves." Roland, who walked at the end of the team, reminded his fellow travelers that they had encountered similar disguisers more than once.

"Knight Flange..." Princess Anya grabbed the reins in her hand, looking very nervous.

"Your Highness Princess, don't worry, these are just four ordinary adventurers, and even if you lie in ambush, you can't keep us." Although Frankel did not admit it, he knew very well in his heart how amazing the combat power of the female undead knight behind him was. And how terrifying the undead attached to her was. That spell that was like a murmur could easily kill any enemy.

They fled from Neildefez to Prague, and they encountered many pursuers, and they were able to escape by relying on the two undead spirits.

Thinking of this, Frankel felt even more uncomfortable. As the Paladin of the Church of Light, he actually relied on the protection of the undead, which was really embarrassing.

"Stop it!! You guys!!"

Just as the two teams were staring at each other, the sound of horses running came from behind, and an infantryman of about a hundred people chased after him with bright spears.

"It's Nieldefez's pursuer!!" Roland had good eyesight and first discovered that the pattern on the armor of the army was the national emblem of Nieldefez that they had just left.

"Are you chasing me?" Frankel glanced at Tia, who had already started to tremble, then looked at Soder, who was still pale, and finally gave up the decision to fight.

"Knight Roland, please..." Princess Anniya had only time to say this to the undead who stayed behind to fight the enemy, and was dragged away by the Paladin and the Elves.

"Oh, the knights of the church actually ran away!!"

The four adventurers standing next to the border stone opened their mouths in surprise and looked at the scene in front of them.

"No, maybe it should be said that they let the undead stay against the enemy who is chasing behind." Eli, who was born in a knight, certainly understood that for a knight, honor is life. In any case, he would not give up the honor belonging to a knight in order to save his life, especially for a church knight, which is even more a shame.

Even if the undead were willing to come together, it at least means that they were temporary companions. But the young knight would rather bear the stigma of leaving his companion and leaving with the other two people. There must be some secret hidden in this.

"What do you think?" Ellie knew that the other people must have the same idea as him. The key is whether they need help.

"One side is the kingdom army and the other side is the church knights. Isn't this very obvious? To help, we have to help the church. Recently, many countries in the Northern Continent have joined the Northern Alliance and have been engaged in annexation of small countries. Garflan may not be sure when they will be injured, so I decided to stand on the church." Mercenary Halong knew his position very well. As a local resident of Garflan, he could not betray the country.

"Where is Buddy?" Ellie turned his gaze to the thief.

"Me? I'll be with you." The thief rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to say anything about the stupid question of the Knight.

"Then I decided to help the church." Needless to say, helping the church herself. As a kingdom wizard, Brena should also be on the side of the church.

Ellie pulled out his weapon and walked towards the infantry gradually approaching.

Even if it is delayed temporarily, if the situation is wrong, you can retreat to the border of Prague. No matter how arrogant the group of Neildefez infantry is, it will not allow the regular army to penetrate into other countries.

"Sing the spell of sleeping, elves, dance the night dance for me. Scatter, snowflakes, land, ice crystals..." The female mage recited the ancient and complex spells, and large pieces of snowflakes began to fall.

The thief was guarding the mage and was ready to pierce the dagger covered with toxins into the bodies of anyone who dared to attack the mage.

At this moment, the undead, who had not been moving, pulled out the strange sword with eyes on her waist.

"I never like killing. If you can retreat to Nieldefez, I promise not to hurt any of you."

The girl's murmur was not accepted by human pursuers. They just held up the spear in their hands and approached step by step under the command of the commander.

"Is it inevitable..." Looking at the infantry coming towards him, Luo Lan sighed secretly; "Show up, the unyielding soul gives you new vitality in the name of Rafa. Warriors, the time for awakening has come." The raised black blade emitted a dim but uneasy black light. A big black hole appeared under the feet of the Red Nightmare, and a large hole was torn into the space.

Before everyone could react, rows of undead wearing black armor and riding nightmare appeared from the hole.

As soon as the undead cavalry, far surpassing the Neildefez infantry, appeared, shocked all the humans present.

"General, what are your instructions for summoning us?" A cavalry captain standing in front of the Dead Knight asked in his hoarse voice.

"Rafa needs time to recover, don't let these humans disturb his sleep." Looking at the human soldiers whose faces began to turn pale, Roland turned around and gave orders to the Death Knight she had just summoned from the Underworld; "If you can't drive away those humans, then... try to minimize their pain."

Killing any human is not something Roland is willing to see, but if the entanglement of these humans is not stopped, how could the escaped princess tell the Church of Light the secret she knows? The most urgent task is to allow her to safely arrive at the Duchy of Shandu, which is about to hold a new round of peace conferences in the North Mainland.

If the humans in front of her insist on stopping them, she would have no choice but to get rid of them.

Looking down at the vower who was sleeping on the armor on his chest, Roland couldn't help but feel disgusted with himself.

"Get back, humans, otherwise the sharp sword in our hands will surely drink its blood."

Captain Death Knight led his undead toward the already obviously frightened human infantry.

"Don't retreat, His Majesty the King has told me that I will bring the princess back no matter what!!" Faced with the undead, the commander was of course also afraid, but how could he retreat in the end?

"Haa~~~~~" Driven by military orders, the infantry shouted and rushed towards the undead.!

"Destroy!!!Diet!"

The Undead Knight raised the sword of death in his hand and drove the sitting nightmare to charge.

When the two armies are connected, the advantages and disadvantages are immediately revealed.

The power of the Death Knight is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary human soldiers, and screams and whines keep echoing in the sunset.

Unable to bear to see the scene of flesh and blood flying, Roland closed his eyes.

How much blood has these hands been stained?

How many living lives are buried under my sword.

Can I go back?

Go back to that original world?

Now, am I still qualified to go back?
