Chapter 213 - Rescue
Chapter 213: Rescue
“Is there someone fighting?”
Heath raised his eyebrows and headed in the direction of the sounds.
He clearly heard the clash of blades in the voice just now, and in this area, the only one who could use the crossguard sword was undoubtedly the base of the Valley of the Dead where he was.
As expected.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, Heath soon arrived near an open space, where a battle was taking place.
On both sides of the battle were more than a dozen garrisoned warriors, which should be the patrol team sent by the garrisoned. The ones fighting against this patrol team were hundreds of Wraiths and contaminated seeds.
Most of these warriors were only at the level of Apprentice Knights. Under the siege of the Wraiths that were obviously more than ten times stronger than their own, they had already fallen into a bitter battle. There were even a few corpses left on the field, what was even worse was that there were still a few warriors who had fallen into the mire.
The remaining people had to rescue their companions and fight against the Wraiths. One could imagine how difficult it would be.
“Quick, quickly pull Sebastian up!”
“Will we die here? They… they’re increasing in number!”
“No, I don’t want to die…”
“Hold on, don’t give up, fight!”
The warriors who were in a desperate situation were almost on the verge of collapse. Only one official Knight, who was probably the leader of the team, was still fighting desperately.
However, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four fists. After repelling several Wraiths, the warrior’s cross sword was stuck on the shoulder bone of a Skeleton and could not be pulled out.
The surrounding Wraiths quickly surrounded him. The Knight could only give up the cross sword. However, without his weapon, he was soon at a disadvantage under the siege of the surrounding Wraiths. What was even more fatal was that his legs were supported by a magical vine.
The Knight was trapped. A Ghoul immediately jumped up and pounced on the Knight. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down at the Knight.
“Captain Ogden!”
“Quickly dodge, Captain Ogden!”
Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the Knight with a whoosh. The large cross-shaped sword was emitting a dark red light.
Heath raised his right hand and the Wizard’s Forcefield was spread out. Instantly, the Wraiths in the scene were all frozen as if they had been hit by time magic. He then clenched his hand into a fist.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of ‘bang bang’ explosions sounded.
Like bugs that had been crushed, the Wraiths in the field exploded one after another, shattering into pieces and bone fragments on the ground.
Clang! A loud and clear sound of a sword rang out.
Heath pulled out his sword with a backhand and slashed vertically upwards. His entire movement was completed in one go.
Poof!
The Ghoul that was fixed in the air was like bamboo that had exploded. It was split open from the middle, and fresh blood poured down like rain.
With this rain of blood, Heath was like a ferocious tiger that was hunting its prey as he pounced into the Wraith horde in front of him and started killing in all directions.
These Wraiths, which had forced the Knights into a desperate situation, could not withstand a single blow from him. With a swing of his sword, he could easily sweep across a large area. For a moment, there were continuous crackling sounds, and the Wraiths fell in groups.
The Knights at the back widened their eyes.
“So… so powerful!”
In just a few minutes, all the Wraiths in the field had died.
“We… we’re saved! We’re saved!”
“We’re… we’re still alive…”
The warriors were so happy that they cried.
Heath walked to the Knight and asked, “How is it? Do you want more?”
The Knight shook his head and panted, “I’m… I’m fine.”
He had only suffered some superficial injuries in the battle just now. He was more or less exhausted from fighting. Other than that, he was fine.
After resting for a while, he bowed deeply. He said gratefully, “Thank you for your help, sir. We are the soldiers of the camp of the Valley of the Dead of the Bloody Fortress. We will definitely remember your righteous act today!”
Heath put away his cross sword. “Captain Ogden, we have met before.”
After arriving at the camp, the commander of the camp specially gathered the Knights and low-ranking officers in the camp to get to know Heath.
Knight Ogden was stunned for a moment and did not recognize him.
Although he had seen him before, it was only a one-time encounter. Previously, Heath was dressed in a standard Wizard’s outfit of a cloak and a magic staff, but now he looked more like a Knight in leather armor and a greatsword.
“It seems to be… it seems to be the new Wizard…”
“Ah? It seems to be true!”
At this time, some soldiers at the back recognized Heath.
After being reminded by these soldiers, Ogden suddenly remembered.
He first exclaimed, “Ah?”
Then he bowed again, “Sir Wizard!”
Heath waved his hand and said casually, “There’s no need to be so polite. Captain Ogden, according to the military rank, I should call you ‘sir’.”
According to the military rank, Ogden and he were both Bronze rank, and Ogden’s badge had three crystals embedded in it. Theoretically, he should still be Heath’s superior officer.
Ogden laughed dryly. “Ha… ha, Sir Wizard, you’re joking.”
The military rank was only a reference after all. In reality, this was the difference between a Wizard and a mortal, not to mention that this Wizard had such extraordinary combat strength…
Thinking of this, Ogden could not help but look at the battlefield in front of him.
The Wraiths and monsters had all been chopped into pieces and scattered on the ground. It must be known that these things had not long ago forced their team into a desperate situation.
Ogden once again said gratefully, “Thank you for saving me this time, sir. You saved our entire Sixth Patrol Team.”
Heath waved his hand and changed the topic, “There’s no need to thank me. Captain, are you out on patrol?”
Ogden said, “Yes, it’s our Sixth Patrol Team’s turn today. When we came here, we found some small groups of Wraiths. We wanted to defeat them…”
Ogden briefly recounted their previous experience. It was roughly when they patrolled this area that they found a few small groups of Wraiths.
Wraiths were often born in the Valley of the Dead. If these Wraiths were not dealt with, they would accumulate and join the army of Wraiths when the tide of Wraiths occurred.
Therefore, the garrison troops here would send out patrols to clear away the Wraiths in the surroundings. Today, Ogden and the others were like that.
After discovering the small groups of Wraiths, Ogden began to clear them out as usual. However, he did not expect that at this time, several groups of Wraiths would suddenly appear in the surroundings and quickly gather together, causing them to be surrounded and attacked. Thus, the previous scene happened.
“It’s really unfortunate. Let’s go back first.”
After a simple sweep of the battlefield, everyone took the bodies of their companions and set off on their return journey.
Along the way, Ogden and the warriors surrounded Heath and chatted about all sorts of things. The admiration and surprise in their words were obvious.
“Sir Wizard, you were using a sword just now. You were using a sword, right?”
“Are you a Knight?”
“What? You are a Grand Knight? A real Grand Knight?”
After learning that Heath was a Grand Knight besides a Wizard, the whole team became excited. Compared to the powerful Wizards, Grand Knights were also powerful. At the same time, they were more friendly to Knights.
“Unbelievable, you are so powerful…”
“No, I have to tell this news to Team 2 and Team 3. Those guys have lost a lot of face this time.”
“Hahaha, I’m really looking forward to the expressions of these idiots.”
Seeing the Knights talking about something, Heath couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “What?”
“No, nothing.”
“We are talking about telling your deeds to the other brothers in the camp…”
Heath did not know that when he had just arrived at the camp, due to his relatively young and weak appearance, the soldiers in the camp had doubted his combat ability. Now, it could be considered as a complete reversal of their understanding.
In fact, if it was not for the fact that the Dark Wizards were involved in the Church of Truth, and Heath being worried about disturbing the army’s morale and ordering the guards to keep it strictly confidential, the soldiers here would have been even more shocked.
They chatted about all kinds of nonsense and quickly returned to the camp.
“Then, let’s part here. I’ll report everything that happened today to Viscount Carson.”
“Yes, yes.”
After leaving Ogden, Heath quickly returned to his residence.
In today’s plan, he still had a magic experiment to complete. Moreover, this was Heath’s favorite magic experiment…
