Quadruple split.

Chapter 2695 Barbarian
"Anyone who dares to move will die."

Although she didn't know which girl's innocent cry came from, Yingge didn't heed the advice and continued to stumble towards her friend.

It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of death, but he knew very well that the warning wasn't directed at him. At this moment, those who should be silent and trembling were not any of his comrades-in-arms, but the Blood Barbarians who had just retreated like the tide and were defending Eagle Claw Gorge.

"Asura!"

Yingge rushed to her friend's side and helped the swaying, pale-faced Templar. She slapped the latter on the head, snapping him back to his senses, and asked in a dry voice, "Are you alright?"

Asra shook his head with some difficulty, then took a deep breath, braced himself, and shook his head, saying, "I won't die anytime soon, so what just happened was..."

"do not know."

Yingge interrupted him, then gave a rather cheerful smile: "But I guess it's related to those things you 'don't know the specifics of'."

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
Just then, accompanied by a drumbeat inspired by the shamans of Mount Sumir and now widely used by various armies to convey information, the comrades around the two began to slowly retreat, and Yingge and Asura, who subconsciously took steps, also supported each other and walked backward.

"That must be an epic, right?"

On the way back, gradually affected by the side effects of the drug, Ying Ge began to limp as she lowered her voice and cautiously said to her friend, "Such a loud voice, and she scared those barbarians into retreating right away. They can't possibly be high-level like us, can they?"

"100% Epic".

As he slowly began to lose the strength to lift the shield and could only carry it on his back, Asler panted heavily while revealing a very proud smile: "And it's an epic of our Dawn Cult, hehe. Look at the bright light in the distance, that's our cult's divine magic array [Bright Sky]. If those damned barbarians don't retreat, three-digit numbers of [Dawn Hammers] will come crashing down in the next second. Their power is no less than that of a mini forbidden spell like [Meteor Fall].

Yingge was stunned and exclaimed, "Holy crap, don't scare me! I believe you if you say it's an epic from your Dawn, but [Meteor Fall] should be a near-legendary level magic, right? So the lady who came to help is at least a half-step legend?"

"That's not how it is, brother."

Asra waved his hand and explained, "As I just said, that's a [divine magic array], not a [divine magic]. Although powerful seniors can indeed create divine magic arrays by hand, those are generally auxiliary or supportive in nature. This kind of composite divine magic array, which can cause effective damage at any time, basically requires some preparation."

Yingge yawned wearily and said unsteadily, "I'm exhausted, get to the point."

"The key point is that although the process of preparing a composite [divine magic array] is very complicated and far less easy than normal spellcasting, on the other hand, if you can prepare in advance, such as using a large amount of stones that have been infused with high-intensity divine power and have been surrounded by a large number of believers praying for months or even years as the 'array eye', you can complete the deployment in a short time."

Asra explained to his friend, who was fairly skilled in combat but lacked talent in divine magic, "Our clergy here are different from those mages. Even if those guys have ready-made magic scrolls, they still can't control them if their strength isn't enough. They're easily backfired by powers that don't belong to them, resulting in injuries or even death. But if a clergy can fully control a divine magic array, under certain strict conditions, they have the opportunity to unleash 'out-of-level' strength."

"What are you saying in your gibberish..."

The next moment, Yingge's legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, instantly losing consciousness.

"Gan."

Seeing his future half a minute later in his friend's life, Asura, who had drunk the same potion, immediately cursed, then raised his arm and shouted to his comrades not far away, "Come and carry this back for us!" The next second, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.

A moment later, Lucar, who had come upon hearing the commotion, clicked his tongue, tucked the two of them under his arms, and turned to Arahan with a serious expression, saying, "The medicine that Ms. Luna distributed seems to be even more potent than she described."

"That's a good thing."

Following closely behind the vanguard to observe the battle, and having repeatedly come to the rescue of his own soldiers, Arahan took out his water pouch, drank a mouthful of chili oil mixed with soy sauce, sesame oil, and water to replace alcohol, and then coughed for almost a minute like someone with tuberculosis before looking up at the distant [Bright Sky] with a flushed face (from the spiciness). He wiped his mouth and laughed, "Anyway, our mission is complete. Now it's up to those 'strangers'."

……

at the same time
In the central area of ​​Eagle Claw Gorge, at the small fortress [Tonglu].

"Ha, this is really... I don't understand it at all."

Huya Zog, the captain of the Black Lizard Hunters, who was guarding the fortress on behalf of 'Headless Cliff', licked his lips, casually sheathed his longsword, whose bloodstains were still wet, and leaned against his venomous gray lizard companion, sneering, "First, the Dunbua City army, which hadn't shown up for a long time, suddenly attacked, and then the Holy Church Alliance's legion blocked us from the other side. Haha, are they trying to crush us here?"

Daphna May, a harpy from the Bloodfeather Plateau, who was of equal rank to Huya and also led a considerable number of her kin to guard this place, frowned and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Don't you think tonight is exciting enough?"

"Anyway, no one would dare to eavesdrop on our conversation."

Hu Ya grinned and shrugged, saying, "If I remember correctly, you really liked my 'jokes' until early yesterday morning."

Daphne glanced at him indifferently and said coldly, "That was just a casual remark you made to vent your frustrations. In fact, every one of your jokes is incredibly boring."

"My jokes are quite funny, hiccup."

Beside the wooden table, the pot-bellied, greasy-faced centurion of the boar-men munchins gnawed on some cured meat while giving Daphne a lewd grin: "Would you be interested in hearing about this later?"

"Later, perhaps."

Daphne shrugged noncommittally and said casually, "I'll seriously consider it once all the good males in this fortress except you are dead."

"Oh, I get it."

While devouring the inferior cured meat that would be hard for ordinary people to swallow, the boar-man centurion Humphry Mudmouth mumbled, "Let's duel, Huya, you're the only male in this fortress who's better than me."

Hu Ya clicked his tongue, raised his hand to the scabbard at his waist, and said leisurely, "To be honest, Brother Hengli, I don't know how to respond to what you just said. It seems—"

"It seems you haven't realized the seriousness of the situation yet."

Also draped in a black cloak, but a full size larger than Hu Ya, and with a hideous scar running from his left eye to his jaw, the lizardman appeared out of nowhere in the night. In a voice somewhat hoarse from having his trachea cut open, he said, "Is it because of these past six months of peaceful life that you've forgotten the taste of blood?"

Hu Ya was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened when he saw the other person's face clearly. He moved his hand away from the hilt of his knife as if he had been electrocuted, and said in a dry voice, "B-Captain, why are you here too?!" "It's not just him."

With a soft laugh, a harpy, unlike her fellow clansmen from the Bloodfeather Plateau, descended from the sky. She was almost entirely covered in armor, had a pair of blood-red wings, and stood on six wavy, serrated swords. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I've come by Her Majesty the Queen's orders. Hehe, it seems our sisters here are doing quite well."

Like a caged bird, she was held in place by six sharp swords, her neck shrank back, barely daring to breathe, and she stammered, "Military...Military Sister..."

"Uh?"

Hengli scratched his backside, somewhat stunned, and hesitated before asking, "Since both of you have sent important figures, shouldn't our tribal kingdom also—"

Because his neck was twisted off, the boar-man centurion died before he could finish speaking.

"you."

Unlike ordinary boar-men, this man was not obese at all; instead, he was all muscle and muscular, with very little body hair. He pushed aside the headless corpse in front of him, casually tossed away the headless body in his hand, grabbed the two remaining pieces of cured meat from the plate, stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them, and turned to look at Daphne, who was trapped in the 'sword cage': "Starting tomorrow, you'll stay with me."

"……Yes."

Without any hesitation, the queen's guard, who in most cases despised boarmen, immediately lowered her head and said softly, "This humble woman is flattered."

Have we finished talking about everything else?

【Headless Cliff】The first captain of the Black Lizard Hunt, the epic-level powerhouse Netani Hel, kicked Huya's huge venomous gray lizard three meters away, walked into the area where the torches couldn't reach, and said coldly, "If you're done talking, let's get down to business."

"Hehe, Brother Netanyahu's temperament is still so impatient and endearing~"

Yulia Erbeak, the strategist of the Queen's Guard in Bloodfeather Plateau, possesses the strength of a half-step epic. She is the only one who once served the former queen, survived the current queen's purge, and was continued to be valued. She covered her mouth and chuckled. After releasing the sisters from their cages, she gracefully sat down on the wooden stake next to her with her legs together: "I have no objection. What about Brother David?"

"can."

David Ashkol Steelmane, the twenty-third prince and commander of ten thousand of the Steelmane Tribe, and also the only epic-level powerhouse in the tribe, nodded and said calmly, "You're smarter, so you go first. Also, don't call me 'elder brother,' call me 'Your Highness.'"

"I always feel that my little bit of cleverness is a bit insignificant in front of you, but since His Highness David has spoken, I'll say a few words."

Yulia covered her mouth and chuckled, then her gaze turned serious, and she said solemnly, "First of all, we must establish a major premise: we must absolutely not allow the Holy Church Alliance to break through Eagle Claw Gorge. I think this should also be the bottom line for Headless Cliff and the Tribal Kingdom, right?"

"affim."

Netanyahu nodded, giving a resolute answer.

"But the problem now is, how should we deal with those two Holy Church allied forces?"

Yulia licked her lips, looked at the lit-up sky in the distance, and said softly, "I don't know what they're going to do, and I don't understand why the garrison that went to such lengths to hide its existence and even pretended to be murdered would suddenly appear. This is not a good sign."

Prince David let out a soft sigh and reminded him, "Skolk."

"Of course, we all know that those charlatans have teamed up with Skork and his gang, and it's said that the Cliff of Heads has suffered quite a heavy loss because of this."

Yulia glanced at Netanya's expressionless face, smiled slightly, and continued, "But that's not the point. The point is what those people are trying to do, whether those two groups planned it together, or..."

"Let's just assume they had it agreed upon."

David, who was eating at an unbelievable speed but whose speech was not affected at all, interrupted Julia and said calmly, "It's best to think about things in the worst-case scenario."

"Ah."

Netanyahu, whose face was obscured by the darkness, gave a curt reply, then asked directly, "So? What should we do now?"

Yulia sighed helplessly: "So you're not planning to brainstorm ideas together at all?"

"It's not necessary."

The other party answered without hesitation, calmly saying, "You are all very intelligent people, and my purpose in coming here is only to carry out the King's intentions and inform you of the bottom line of the Cliff of Heads. Apart from that, I can cooperate with your ideas."

Yulia smiled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Aren't you afraid we'll trick you?"

"It doesn't matter."

Netanyahu shook his head and said seriously, "In that case, if I survive, I will definitely lead my troops to flatten Bloodfeather Plateau. If I die here, the king will still send troops to flatten Bloodfeather Plateau. If you can bear the consequences, then go ahead."

Julia frowned and asked, "Wait a minute, why is it that no matter what, it's always our Bloodfeather Plateau and Steelmane Tribe that suffers?"

“We don’t have the resources to target the tribal kingdoms at the same time as deciding to wipe out Bloodfeather Plateau, so even if David also participated in the destruction of Headless Cliff, only Bloodfeather Plateau will be flattened.”

In the darkness, a mocking glint flashed in Netanyahu's eyes as he sneered, "So if you don't want things to turn out this way, you'll probably have to work harder to prevent Prince David from plotting anything against Headless Cliff."

"You're really... simple, brutal, and vicious."

"Praise be to the Evil Eye King."
