"What's wrong, Kale?" Leo noticed her abnormality and leaned over to whisper.

"Ah! No, it's okay!" Karen quickly curled up twice in embarrassment and said coquettishly, "You... just hold the reins well."

baffling……

Leo couldn't figure out what had suddenly happened to the princess, and he rode his horse in silence.

Isn't it just that the charm has increased by three points? Is that so...

This situation continued until the afternoon of that day, when it began to improve somewhat.

Kallen, who had adapted to Leo's charm, gradually returned to normal.

The recovery of her physical strength also meant that she no longer needed to ride on the same horse with Leo, and instead she rode the horse and walked side by side with him.

However, the "novel" experience of the past two days has made Leo's figure completely imprinted in her heart.

Perhaps she herself did not realize this.

The two chatted and laughed, from some gossip about the Telsk family, to the history of the Mechanicus and the Order, to some embarrassing moments of Kallen's childhood. They also had to deal with the offensive Miss Shikoti from time to time, so it wasn't boring.

The route Leo chose was indeed correct, and he did not encounter many Night Demons along the way. There were only a few scattered monsters, which were easily crushed by Viscount Carter's cavalry.

until--

"Miss Karen, Viscount Carter, Mr. Leo, there is a group of people ahead, surrounded by the Night Devil Cavalry." A scout reined in his horse and came over.

"Night Devil Cavalry?" Viscount Carter raised his chin. The Night Devil Cavalry was the elite of the Night Devil Army. With their current combat power, it was not easy to provoke them. "I suggest bypassing them and continuing north."

"Bypass?" Karen frowned, her expression more serious than ever before: "Viscount Carter, do you want me to watch my people die in front of my eyes and do nothing to save them?"

"Uh..." Carter didn't expect Karen's reaction to be so intense. He sighed and looked at Leo for help.

Miss Karen also turned her head appropriately and looked at him: "What do you think, Mr. Leo?"

Leo: "..."

Leo could only smile bitterly in his heart.

To be fair, they are now running for their lives, and the best option is definitely to let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others.

But... the bad thing is that Kallen is a noble lady.

She was willing to die with her people in Winterhold, let alone now...

If Leo said to Kallen, "Don't worry about it, just run away, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of God," then all the favorability gains he had made over the past few days would have been in vain.

But I can't just watch her suffer from a Madonna syndrome and leave myself here... Leo and the others have to rely on her if they want to go to the Mechanicus.

Thinking of this, Leo began to consider his words and prepared to persuade the princess.

"Report, that group of people..." Before he could react, another scout rushed back: "The group of people who were surrounded are Saint Frey of the Order Sect and Knight Commander Lennon."

Leo: "..."

Yes, no need to persuade.

This time, it wasn’t just Kallen who had to save people.

He had to go too.

As a believer of order, he would never give up on rescuing the Saint.

This is the responsibility that comes with his legal status.

What a sin! Does this Saint Frey have a grudge against him?

Chapter 74: The deepest fear of mankind is the fear of the unknown

Damn it, does this Saint of Order have a grudge against me?

At the beginning, I was about to make it to the top of the Church of Joy and leave that useless branch, but this guy showed up with a team of White Cavalry and tied me to the carriage of the Church of Order.

At this moment, Leo could take Kallen back to Winterhold safely and think about how to trick her back to Robert, but this guy appeared again.

The key is that I still have to save her.

If he doesn't save her, his identity will be in jeopardy.

What a sin.

Fortunately, the "Gray Mist Messenger" that I just learned has been put to good use. I will use these Night Demon Cavalry to try out the effect of this ability.

"Ah..." Leo sighed: "Miss Karen, Viscount Carter, from a rational point of view, we should not rescue the Saint and the Knight Commander now. But as believers of the Order Sect, the Saint's life is undoubtedly more important than mine."

"So, I need to rescue them both. But this matter has nothing to do with Miss Kallen. If I rescue them rashly, Miss Kallen will be in danger. Therefore, I implore you to leave first. I will catch up with you after I rescue the Saint Lady."

Kallen didn't expect Leo to give such an answer. She stared at him blankly and shook her head: "Mr. Leo, without you, we wouldn't be here today. You have always been helping us, and now it's our turn to help you."

As expected... it was a Kallen-style answer.

Leo looked at Viscount Carter helplessly. Their eyes met, and they understood each other's meaning without words - see, I've tried to persuade him, but it's useless.

"In that case, let's prepare to charge." Viscount Carter raised his knight's lance: "It's time to let these sons of bitches of night demons have a taste of the sharp blade of the North!"

"The sharp blade of the North? Is this the only level you can reach?" In the middle of the dense forest, the captain of the Night Demon Cavalry stroked the giant tusk lizard under his crotch and laughed sarcastically: "The Order Sect is nothing more than this."

The Night Demon Cavalry had already surrounded the defeated White Cavalry in the center of the dense forest.

Under the attack of the giant dragon, countless horses of the White Cavalry were killed or wounded, and they had long lost the ability to soar into the sky.

Faced with the powerful Night Devil Cavalry, it was only a matter of time before they lost their ability to resist.

"Haha, of course, Commander Calvaro has already seen through all the movements of the humans in the North. As long as we capture the Saint of Order and the Knight Commander, we will definitely be able to obtain more slaves and glory." The Night Demon adjutant next to the leader echoed in a timely manner.

"It's a pity that we didn't catch the commander who led the defense of Winterhold. I didn't expect that. Even their soldiers don't know who the commander is."

The Night Demon Commander sighed and shook his head: "The confidentiality work is so good, is that commander an important person?"

The roars continued to echo in the forest. As the two night demons continued to chat, a layer of white mist quietly spread to their feet.

The fog grew bigger and thicker, gradually enveloping all the soldiers.

As visibility continued to drop, the Night Demon general frowned.

Why is it foggy in the winter evening?

"what!"

Before he had time to think, he heard a scream in the distance, followed by the sound of Night Demon soldiers falling off their mounts.

"What's going on?" The Night Demon general roared angrily.

"I don't know, suddenly--ah!" Another Night Demon Cavalryman fell off the Lizard, his breastplate was pierced directly, and his heart was crushed.

"Damn it! Stay alert! There's something in the fog!" The Night Demon general roared and ordered, "Blow the horn!"

"Okay - ah! Damn it!" The herald was about to blow the horn when there was a scream and then silence.

Screams echoed through the forest one after another, becoming louder and louder.

"That thing attacked me! Damn it, it chopped off my hand. What the hell was that thing..."

"Damn it, I can't get in touch with my team-Ah!"

"I caught him! No, he disappeared. He disappeared again."

"I will use magic to disperse this thick fog! No, I can't do it. I can't disperse it!"

Beads of sweat secreted from the forehead of the Night Demon general.

His soldiers are all good fighters, and even in a siege battle, one person can replace many human soldiers.

But at this moment, it was all like butter being cut by a hot knife, and the cold death came without the slightest resistance.

The most terrifying thing is that he doesn't even know what the enemy is.

This white mist...what on earth is that?

A most primitive emotion permeates the chests of all night demons, that emotion is called fear - fear of the unknown.

"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat quickly! Get out of here, get out of this thick fog!"

So the Night Demon soldiers rushed out of the thick fog in panic.

What greeted them was Viscount Carter who had been prepared for this, and the Northern Cavalry who were flanking them from both wings.

"kill!"

Whistling arrows swarmed in and shot straight to death the Night Demon Cavalry who were rushing in the front.

The remaining cavalrymen had high tactical skills and quickly raised their shields to defend themselves.

"There is an ambush, retreat, retreat!"

The Night Demon Cavalry pulled the reins and prepared to turn around, but unexpectedly another loud shout came from both sides.

"Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Viscount Carter took the lead and rushed into the scattered formation of the Night Demons with a knight's spear in hand.

Behind him, hundreds of cavalrymen rode out.

In the last rays of light before nightfall, brutal massacres ensued.

Only this time, it was not humans who fell into the trap and were slaughtered, but night demons.

"Damn it, I can't hide anymore!"

The Night Demon general knew that there was no chance of survival today, so he drew his sword and said, "Soldiers, follow me and kill! Teach these stupid humans a lesson and let them know the wrath of us Night Demons!"

They no longer dodged, relying on their powerful individual combat power to collide with the Northern Cavalry. Even if they died, they would leave scars on humans before they died.

The anger of mankind was completely aroused by this group of aliens. Their eyes turned red and their blood boiled.

Humans and demons have long been mortal enemies that can never be stopped.

No retreat, no hiding, no surrender, just kill!

"Ah! Mother!"

"For the glory of the North!"

"For the Night Demon!"

Amid the tragic roars, blood buried the bones and wails sounded like the long cry of death.

Bloody, cruel, and desperate.

The white mist gradually dissipated, and Leo appeared from the tree branch. He stared at the fighting soldiers and shook his head with a sigh.

He was right. His ability was really strong. The combination of "Gray Mist Messenger" with "Water Shape Sword" and "Order Sword" made it easy for him to deal with these warriors with low spiritual vision.

It was simply their nightmare, except...

Chapter 75 The Duke's Death

After all, the Night Demon Cavalry is not like the White Cavalry, an army composed entirely of high-level believers and above. The strength of the Night Demon soldiers is generally at the level of mid-level and high-level believers.

Their psychic vision was not enough to detect Leo, and the armor was useless in front of the water-shaped sword.

The only thing he had that was stronger than Leo was his fighting skills and strength, but since he couldn't see Leo, they were useless.

Leo is simply their nightmare, but...

The consumption of this "Gray Mist Messenger" is really too great. Especially the teleportation every ten seconds, which consumes a lot of physical strength.

According to Leo's current attribute values, he can only move freely in the white fog for 7 minutes at most, and this is when there are not too many enemies in the white fog.

To be honest, if there were no physical limitations, there would be no need for Viscount Carter's cavalry. He alone would be able to kill all of these Night Devil Cavalry.

"Alas, there is still a long way to go, and there are still many areas that need to be strengthened." Leo gripped the hilt of the water-shaped sword: "But I have indeed become stronger."

"Before, I couldn't even deal with an ordinary low-level cultist. Now, without relying on Miss Shikoti, I can kill twenty or thirty Night Demon Cavalry in one go."

"Really? The master doesn't need me anymore!" The charming voice interrupted Leo's thoughts. He turned his head and looked at the slime incarnation Renee who was slowly approaching.

"How could that be? If it weren't for Shikoti, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such power."

"That's not true! If it weren't for the master, Shikoti wouldn't be able to become stronger!" Miss Slime put her hands on her hips proudly, but her face showed a look of enjoyment.

"Hey, how's it going? Are you full?"

"Well, I devoured the corpses of the extraordinary people along the way, and my strength is getting stronger and stronger!" Shikoti licked his lips.
