There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 706 Pursuit
On the right side of the fort is a dense forest, connecting the mountains beyond.

That group of cavalry was dressed in dark armor, and they were menacing, not like a team that hastily chased here, but an elite division that has been waiting for a long time.

Could it be that the capital has discovered his identity?
since when?
Xu Shuo recalled what happened during this period from beginning to end.

On the day the Holy See set off, there were four teams.

The first one is the mighty Vatican army and the Pope's car team that headed for the royal capital on the surface.

The second branch is the real Pope's car escorted by the Bright Moon Knights.

The third branch is the Holy See Army who went to the Northland to meet the Duke of Silver and confuse their sight by the way.

And the last team is the Sun Knights.

The Sun Knights had been stationed in the city-state of Tunus before, investigating and finding the deeds of the Black Dragon Island for the Pope, and they did not leave the Western Seas until the Black Dragon was born.

But when they left the city-state of Tunus.

It seems that because of the hybrid elf and the black dragon, there was a fierce chase in the city.

Although Zuo Fang appeared as a church knight at the time.

But there is the first plot point.

There is no guarantee that the capital will not notice the abnormality.

After the half-blood elf fled to the city-state of Sals, he specially changed his appearance, and the intention of staying in the city of Sals was probably to get in touch with the black dragon again, so as to find a way to undo the curse in his body.

The only thing Xu Shuo wasn't sure about was whether the girl had contacted anyone before he met Sola.

But it started when Sora went to the North with him.

Xu Shuo was sure that the other party had never sent any message out of his sensing range, not even an unusual small movement.

That elf Buddhist system seems to be almost useless.

Therefore, the route of the Sun Knights probably did not go wrong, even if the king found the traces of the Knights.

The other side should now be chasing to the Ameche Mountains instead of chasing to the edge of the Eastern Continent.

As for the Silver Shield Legion.

Xu Shuo didn't enter the Eastern Continent from the city-state of Iraq, and didn't even enter the Andas Mountains directly. Instead, he left the Silver Shield Legion's marching route halfway through the Extreme Northern Mountains.

Afterwards, he stayed overnight at the city-state church on the edge of the Eastern Continent. He entered the church under a disguised identity, and left without saying hello in the morning.

Anyway, after much deliberation...

He felt that there was basically no risk of revealing his identity on his side.

Not to expose the itinerary, but the identity.

There was a team of hundreds of cavalry in the back. If they were just chasing a suspicious person, there was no need to send an elite soldier to ambush here.

That murderous posture clearly confirms his identity, and he is bound to be beheaded here!
So after much deliberation...

No problem here.

Teammates are fine.

Then it may be that the Holy See Army has exposed the news.

However, the news he sent to the Holy See Army only said that he would go to Dennis City to join the Holy See Army tonight, but he did not explain his itinerary.

How capable is the internal response on the opposite side.

Only then will I find out my identity.

Xu Shuo thought about this, suddenly sneered, and rushed into the woods with his horse.

Catalina followed into the woods.

But the two horses were already exhausted after galloping for a day, so after rushing into the woods, they were blocked by the chaotic sand, stones and branches on the ground.

Catalina glanced at the pursuers behind her, and then at the young man ahead.

"This group of bugs is really annoying! If you don't have a solution, then I will do it, and then don't blame me for revealing my identity!" She shouted.

"Move! It's best to block them all at once!"

Xu Shuo responded this time.

At the same time, he also drew a magic circle in the air with one hand.

Rich magical energy surged from all directions, emitting a faint light in the air, forming golden light trails, passing through the gaps between the trees.

Without the slightest cover-up behavior, his move to release large-scale magic is clearly revealed.

Catalina in the rear was a little dazed when she saw this.

She wondered: If this person is already planning to do it himself, why should she do it too?
Is it because she is worried that her strength will not be able to stop the pursuers?

Catalina didn't make a move for the time being, but she waited and waited until the pursuers behind were only a few meters away from her, seeing that the enemy had already raised their spears and swords.

And the guy in front hasn't released his magic yet!
She cursed secretly, holding one hand in the air, and the freezing cold condensed a long whip.

Catalina slammed backwards, and the first pursuers got their whips entangled in their weapons.

The latter wanted to slash the whip, but when the cold air touched his spear, it froze the weapon in an instant, and this extremely freezing frost spread to him!

The face of the chasing soldiers suddenly changed!
He wanted to let go, but was horrified to find that his palm was frozen together with the weapon. He couldn't feel any pain, only the piercing cold.

In a trance, it seemed that the right hand holding the weapon was not his own, and it was so cold that he had completely lost consciousness.

And the next moment, Katrina suddenly exerted force again.

The chasing soldier who bore the brunt was pulled up by the whip and flew into the air with a whip. He turned into an ice sculpture in the air, and was then smashed towards several people behind him.

Catalina's eyes were sharp.

The extremely freezing air carried in the body of the person who smashed into the chasing team exploded in an instant!
Also at the same moment, the magic in Xu Shuo's hand was released, and the dazzling golden light instantly filled the entire forest.

"avoid!"

The general's shout came from behind the pursuers.

The light cavalry rushing forward unanimously turned their bodies suddenly while galloping, hiding their bodies behind the horses, and the golden light stabbed back radially.

Finally, Fang heavy cavalry quickly raised a shield. The general was in it, but his eyes under the helmet were squinting forward.

A blinding light flashed past, seemingly causing no harm.

But the extremely freezing cold hidden in the light has spread silently to the surroundings, freezing every inch of the ground, tree roots, branches and leaves.

cack cack...

A faint voice sounded faintly.

The rapid and short neighing of the horses immediately resounded through the woods, accompanied by the exclamation of dozens of people in front, but these sounds all appeared in an instant and then disappeared in an instant.

The icy air spread through the woods.

click-click-

In the ranks of the heavy cavalry, the general's heart shuddered suddenly. He felt that the armor on his body was covered with a layer of frost, which continued to seep into his body.

The strong breath circulated in his flesh and blood, resisting the chill, but it also made him shiver.

Wait until the piece of golden light dissipates.

Everyone looked forward, and saw that the light cavalry had been frozen together with the trees and the ground, with ice slag hanging on the branches and leaves above their heads, the ground was smooth and cold, and the chilly white mist was still flowing among the trees.

The team that bore the brunt was completely turned into ice sculptures, and the heavy cavalry team in the middle was slightly better, but some horses failed to survive and froze to death.

"Ice magic?"

The general looked at the woods and frowned.

The Pope of the Holy See of Light did not use their most thorough sun magic, but used erosion-type ice and snow magic.

A bit of a surprise indeed.

"General?"

The heavy cavalry captain looked at the general questioningly.

Their losses were actually not serious. They were an elite army. As long as they didn't encounter magic attacks nearby, the strength in their bodies would be enough for them to resist the erosion of the cold.

It's just that the icy forest in front of them somewhat hindered their pursuit.

It's not that soldiers can't make it through.

But the horse under the seat will lose control if it is exposed to the cold.

The general waved his hand and said, "Go around from the side and block this forest first, so they won't be able to get out."

"Yes!"

……

When the golden light envelops the entire forest.

Catalina's silver eyes turned into sharp vertical pupils, and she saw things naturally in the light, driving the horse to keep up with the speed of the person in front.

She looked back.

Then he looked away again, his face full of doubts.

"Did you use magic just now?" Catalina asked loudly to the people in front.

"Use it." Xu Shuo said flatly.

"Have you used it? What magic?"

"Lighting magic."

"..."

Just now, Catalina clearly didn't feel the fluctuation of magic. She only noticed that the surrounding magic energy was very strong, but it didn't form a complete magic.

Therefore, the magical energy condensed by this person before really just condensed them together.

Then it dissipated in an instant.

The suddenly dispelled magical energy produced an aurora in an instant. Apart from being a little dazzling, it really didn't hurt at all.

Catalina was speechless for a moment.

It's just that I am a little bit afraid of the accuracy of the Pope Guangming's manipulation of magical energy in my heart.

The natural energy that is difficult to sense and control for ordinary people seems to be as simple as eating and drinking for this person, and it can even come and go directly.

Even the ice and snow elves born from nature.

It is very difficult to do this.

Catalina couldn't do it anyway.

If she had condensed so much magic energy but didn't form a magic pattern in the end, she might be able to kill herself directly.

"Why didn't you take the opportunity to attack just now?"

Catalina couldn't help asking after thinking about this.

Xu Shuo looked around and said casually, "It takes a lot of energy to form the pattern, so let's talk about it next time."

Catalina: "..." That's it? !

Don't you need to spend mental power to condense magical energy?
Suddenly, Catalina felt that the horse under her seat had begun to slump, and the running speed dropped a lot in an instant.

This is because the blood energy has been exhausted.

With a movement of her eyes, she gave the horse a sudden slap, and then this force rose into the air, and flew straight towards the young man who hadn't opened too far.

Sensing the movement, Xu Shuo turned his head slightly and glanced backward.

And Catalina had already landed on his horse's back with her feet staggered side by side, occupying only a corner, and she immediately bent down to maintain her balance on the galloping horse's back.

"It's useless for you to jump over now, it's too quiet around here." Xu Shuo said looking at the people behind him.

"so what?"

Catalina looked around vigilantly upon hearing this.

Xu Shuo continued: "If the enemy can set up an ambush in the city and wait for me in advance, they will naturally be prepared for me to discover the abnormality, so there must be an ambush ahead, and we think it will be difficult for us to get out of this forest. Did you see that the chasing soldiers didn't continue to catch up?"

Catalina was stunned: "You know there is an ambush? Then you continue to walk forward?"

"Then why don't you turn around and fight those hundreds of people? Unless we flee back along the same road, we can only keep going."

"Isn't it okay to escape the same way?"

"It took me a day and a night to run back. Do you think I might escape because of this?"

"...So you just feel that that day can't be wasted?"

"..."

The young man didn't speak any more.

But Catalina felt that she seemed to have guessed the truth.

From the Holy Land of the Elf to the Continent of Humans, after spending the past few days together, she probably already understood who this generation of Light Executioner is.

Although the young man showed a gentle and talkative attitude, and sometimes he was really talkative, but his temperament was actually extremely strong.

It's not completely arbitrary.

But when you can say one thing, he won't let you say three.

You can say three if you want to, but he continued to say two.

Then you will gradually find that if you don't act according to his thinking, it is very likely that your own choice will not be completed.

For example, a certain ice elf who would rather die than enter the Church of Light last night.

Catalina: "..."

Catalina sat sideways on the back of the horse, complaining about the use of light in this generation in her heart, while watching her surroundings vigilantly.

The next moment, the horse under the seat neighed suddenly, its front hooves slammed on the ground, and the whole horse soared high into the air and rushed past!
Catalina almost got knocked over!

She grabbed it forward with both hands indiscriminately, and immediately grabbed the young man's flying silver long hair.

Then the horseshoe landed again, and the brave steed swiftly dodged the surrounding obstacles and continued to run forward.

"let go."

An indifferent voice came from ahead.

Catalina quickly let go after recovering.

"Since they are all here, let's make a shield to block the horse, we can use it to run out of this forest." Xu Shuo said aloud again.

"my power……"

"It doesn't matter."

"Row."

Now that the parties concerned are indifferent, Catalina no longer shy away from it.

Her power is frosty anyway, even if she uses ordinary magic, it will produce extremely freezing cold air, which is the characteristic of the ice and snow elves.

Catalina constructed a magic pattern in her hands, but at this moment, countless arrows rushed out of the dense forest!

Seeing this, Xu Shuo scoffed.

This kind of trick, the Silver Duke had already played against him once when he was in the coniferous forest.

First it was a tripping rope, and then it was a range attack.

Consistent forest siege tactics.

Xu Shuo's mental strength was not used for magic, but he was always paying attention to the traps in the woods. The horses went around to avoid the traps on the ground.

Seeing that the arrow was about to fall from the top of her head, Catalina accelerated the speed of constructing patterns, and a frost magic quickly enveloped them.

Ka Ka Ka!
The sharp arrow landed on the frost, was frozen directly, turned into broken ice and dissipated in the air, leaving a place of ice slag along the road.

Shield magic is not a one-off.

Need to use energy support all the time.

As a result, Catalina's mental state was visibly fatigued, and her skin was already extremely pale, but now it seemed that it was going to be completely white.

Xu Shuo stared straight ahead, but the next moment, his eyes were startled.

He grabbed Catalina behind him suddenly, and the two turned around and vacated in the air, but the horse under them continued to rush forward with inertia, and was wrapped by a huge oncoming fire dragon.

boom!
