Chapter 315: Confident Captain Nigen, Her Following Me Might Not Be a Good Thing

The atmosphere turned cold instantly.

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi raised his snake head slightly, the dazzling scales on his face reflecting light, and his scarlet snake pupils looked down at the three humans in front of him.

This alliance with humans was a helpless move.

"Sigh."

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi sighed deeply in his heart.

Their demi-humans were individually powerful, but they were far from being the opponents of that Death Knight and the powerful magic caster who controlled the undead. A large number of demi-humans and races died at the hands of the other party and turned into undead.

If they couldn't solve these two enemies, they could only shrink into a corner.

Ge Jin went to request human support, which was opposed by many demi-human tribes who had survived, but "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi could only acquiesce.

Probably holding a "dead horse as a living horse doctor" attitude.

He didn't think humans would care about the life and death of demi-humans in the hilly area, nor did he feel that the Holy Kingdom possessed the power to defeat that powerful magic caster.

However—

Humans actually really came!

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi not only didn't feel surprised but had a feeling of doubt and vigilance from the bottom of his heart.

The appearance of these humans here could only mean that the other party possessed the confidence to defeat the enemy!

Humans actually still possessed such power?

In this situation, how could "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi easily let this human woman in front of him approach their demi-human gathering place.

Looking at the gradually stiff atmosphere in front of him.

Tang Zheng turned to look at Ge Jin: "This is different from the situation we said at the beginning."

"We are here to support. Perhaps there were various problems between humans and demi-humans before, but now the common enemy is the undead."

Tang Zheng understood that at this time, it was suitable for him to communicate with Ge Jin to break the stiff atmosphere in front of him.

Ge Jin was also dissatisfied with "Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi. The human side had just suffered an attack; how could they attack the enemy at this time?

"I also think it's inappropriate." Ge Jin opened his mouth.

"Like this."

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi spat out a forked red snake tongue slightly, didn't refute, but followed this sentence and continued:

"During this period of time, that mysterious magic caster has never appeared. I am worried that a more dangerous situation will appear."

"That's why I was a bit anxious."

"In that case, then human guests, you can rest here for the time being. We will also guard here together to prevent being attacked by the undead again."

Next, both sides communicated and probed again.

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi never let go of the matter of taking Tang Zheng and the others to the demi-human gathering place.

Finally!

Both sides could only end the communication in a way that started with a bang and ended with a whimper. It was clear that all parties completely distrusted each other.

Tang Zheng and the three returned in the direction of the human troop.

"Team Leader Tang, thank you for your potion."

Quila put away the cold face just now and said gratefully: "If it weren't for your potion treatment, my sister would have been... In short, I will explain your achievements to Her Majesty the Holy Queen."

"Also, please don't take what my sister said to heart. She has a relatively straightforward personality and actually doesn't have any opinions about you personally."

"Commander Remedios, it's good that she can recover. She is an indispensable combat power next."

Tang Zheng waved his hand lightly: "The problem now is the demi-human side, and how to act next?"

"Heh!"

Captain Captain Nigen sneered, cold light flashing in his expressionless eyes: "The enemy's information has been basically figured out. This evil organization 【Zuranon】, besides the leader, has 12 high disciples."

"The two who appeared before were two of the twelve high disciples."

"In the situation of sending two people, and also dispatching a Death Knight, I guess the remaining high disciple members should not be in the hilly area."

Captain Captain Nigen finally got rid of his always silent appearance at this moment and revealed a cold and ruthless look.

"Team Leader Tang, Team Leader Quila, you should have seen the performance of that Death Knight."

Captain Captain Nigen's black eyes looked at the two.

These two people in front of him!

Quila doesn't need to be mentioned; she represents the Holy Kingdom.

The one Captain Captain Nigen really needed to treat seriously was this adventurer team leader of "Free Will".

The first time he saw the means of summoning two Fourth Rank angels!

Captain Captain Nigen was very surprised in his heart. Even with his power, he could only summon one.

Fourth Rank angels are high-level angels!

Especially the Surveillance Power Angel, the ratio of attack and defense capabilities is three to seven, which is the magic monster with the strongest defensive power among summoning magic of the same rank.

People who can defeat the Surveillance Power Angel are very limited in Captain Captain Nigen's cognition.

Clementine, this arrogant monster with powerful strength, couldn't easily break the defense of the Surveillance Power Angel.

His innate ability "Summon Monster Enhancement", even if it enhances the power of Fourth Rank angels again, is not as powerful as Tang Zheng summoning two at once.

The other party is also a genius alchemist!

Such strength is definitely a powerhouse who has stepped into the Hero Realm.

Placed in the Slane Theocracy, even being a captain of the Scripture troop would be no problem, and it might even be introduced into the 【Black Scripture】 troop.

Such a genius and powerhouse.

Captain Captain Nigen naturally placed Tang Zheng in a position equal to or even higher than Quila.

"The Death Knight is indeed terrifying, but since it can be suppressed for a short time, the threat to us is not that great."

Captain Captain Nigen continued: "So, the real threat is actually the leader of 【Zuranon】. Since those demi-humans know their location, that's good."

"The Death Knight, I will deal with it!"

A look of surprise appeared on Quila's face. This was not faked, but truly surprised.

She was surprised by Captain Captain Nigen's sudden move and also heard another layer of meaning in his words.

The Theocracy actually let him carry out-of-specification props!

Quila had long had some guesses in her heart, but now that she was indirectly admitted by Captain Captain Nigen, she couldn't help but be shocked.

Tang Zheng's eyes moved.

This was somewhat inconsistent with the attitude Captain Captain Nigen had always shown. Was it because he changed his initial plan after a brief communication with the demi-humans?

After speaking.

Captain Captain Nigen didn't explain anything, his expression cold and arrogant, and he walked away, returning to the 【Sunlight Scripture】 troop.

Quietly watching Captain Captain Nigen's back.

"Team Leader Tang, doesn't seem too surprised?" Quila's long, narrow eyes revealed a faint smile, and she suddenly spoke softly.

"Surprised?"

"Just had some guesses a long time ago."

Tang Zheng smiled freely, looking a bit detached, but not lacking curiosity:

"I know Gazef in the Kingdom. He is a commoner genius who relied on his own ability to defeat all opponents in the 'Imperial Match'."

"He should have obtained a knight title, but because of the obstruction of the nobles, the King re-drafted a title and position of 'Warrior Captain'. To compensate Gazef, he specifically allowed him to use national treasures."

"That is a very powerful—even somewhat unimaginable magic prop."

Tang Zheng said this, looking at Quila in front of him whose thoughts were not easily guessed, and shrugged his shoulders:

"The Kingdom possesses such a powerful prop, your Holy Kingdom and Slane Theocracy should also possess it."

"You know, I am an adventurer, and adventurers are always curious about some legendary or special things."

Hearing this.

Quila's smile seemed to be even more brilliant: "This should also be the reason why Team Leader Tang participated in this extremely dangerous mission."

Tang Zheng didn't speak, looking noncommittal.

"Ha."

Quila laughed lightly, raised a slender, fair finger, and tapped her chin lightly: "It's really a dangerous bet and a curiosity."

"I wasn't sure at first, but since Captain Captain Nigen said so, Team Leader Tang just needs to rest assured next."

"Even without the assistance of demi-humans, we can eliminate the enemy!"

Quila said at the end, her tone firm.

In the simple conversation just now with Captain Captain Nigen, both sides had already made the idea of excluding demi-human interference.

"Hope so."

Tang Zheng didn't seem to fully understand, but changed the subject, "Team Leader Quila, shouldn't you only possess the power of Fourth Rank magic as rumored."

Quila stared at the black-haired young man in front of her, smiled brilliantly, shook her brown hair lightly, and walked briskly back to the troop: "Thank you for your team members, bringing their corpses back intact."

Watching Captain Captain Nigen and Quila leave one after another.

"Really."

"One or two are so confident."

Tang Zheng's gaze returned to calm.

If it weren't for other plans such as the "Spiral Ritual of Death" and reasonable contact with the Slane Theocracy, he wouldn't bother to accompany these people in playing house games.

When Tang Zheng returned to the human troop, he saw the 51 corpses of Holy Knights placed in the center.

Except for 10 corpses whose skin had turned grayish-black, clearly undead, the other corpses remained as they were.

Immediately after.

Tang Zheng noticed Enri sitting not far from the corpses, hugging her knees, and pondered slightly before walking over.

Since he took Enri away from Carne Village, she had actually never experienced a normal adventurer mission, just simply helping him handle some sales of potions.

And this kind of thing of seeing familiar people being killed was the first time she had experienced it.

"Captain."

Hearing familiar footsteps and the white robe appearing in her field of vision, Enri looked up, her eyes red.

Looking at the bloodshot whites of her eyes and her tired face.

Tang Zheng walked over gently, sat beside Enri, and comforted her slowly: "It's okay, cry if you want."

"Enri didn't."

Enri raised her eyes stubbornly, but the corners of her mouth pursed.

Brief silence.

Enri suddenly turned to her side, lay on Tang Zheng's legs, her whole body twitching constantly, but she never made a sound of crying.

"Alright, alright."

Tang Zheng saw the white priest robe gradually being wet, raised his palm, and rubbed Enri's chestnut-gold hair gently:

"Sleep, maybe they will come back to life."

"Enri... is not a child." Enri hugged Tang Zheng's crossed legs tighter.

First experiencing a long-distance raid for a whole night, and then experiencing a battle from dawn, even Holy Knights, who were warriors with powerful physiques, felt exhausted, let alone Enri, who was just an ordinary person.

Not long after.

Enri's twitching shoulders stopped, and she fell asleep.

Tang Zheng didn't move, letting Enri lie on his legs, calmly watching the resting Holy Knights and a group of tired priests in the distance.

The Evil Spirit Dog stood behind Tang Zheng, wagging its tail lightly and squatting on the ground.

The Miss Cuiye Witch also stood quietly on the side, her bright yellow pupils glancing at the sleeping Enri, flickering slightly, expressionless.

"She is only 14 years old now."

"The village chief of Carne Village and her parents handed Enri to me, probably thinking it was a very good choice."

"I might be too pursuing the goal."

Tang Zheng's voice was soft and slow, his tone eerie as he said, "Her following me away from Carne Village is not necessarily a good thing; in the future..."

Tang Zheng didn't continue.

"Master, it was Enri herself who decided to participate in the mission."

The Miss Cuiye Witch responded calmly: "Being able to follow you is her honor for a lifetime."

Tang Zheng shook his head imperceptibly.

Night fell!

Quila, who had been motionless, came to the corpses at this time, looking at the corpses of these Holy Knights.

Quila began to release strong magic power fluctuations all over her body, holy white light surging, setting her off like wearing a holy light garment.

This movement!

Instantly attracted everyone's attention, especially in the dim night, the holy light made it clearly visible even to the demi-human side camping not far away.

"5th Rank Magic—Resurrection of the Dead!"

Quila chanted.

A blue magic circle condensed and appeared above her head, turning into a faint, fragmented beam of light, shining on the corpse of one of the Holy Knights.

Amidst the unbelievable and shocking exclamations of the Holy Kingdom side.

That Holy Knight who had already died had a violent rise and fall in his chest, and the next moment he sat up from the ground, panting heavily.

"Resurrected?"

"Really resurrected!"

"Lord Quila actually mastered resurrection magic."

"Never heard of it before!"

"……!"

Noisy discussions poured out.

The fact that Quila mastered the power of 5th Rank magic was clearly a relatively secret piece of information within the Holy Kingdom.

Remedios, whose injuries had recovered, saw the surprised look of a group of Holy Knights and priests, hugged her chest with both hands, and looked surprised.

Turned her head.

Remedios's gaze quickly searched for a figure in the crowd, and soon discovered Tang Zheng, with a look of pride on her cheeks.

Just like a child wanting to show off something.

However.

When noticing Enri's action of lying on Tang Zheng, Remedios's face turned cold instantly.

"A guy without etiquette." Remedios snorted coldly.

Quila didn't stop and continued to release resurrection magic, resurrecting 5 people in one go before stopping.

Demi-human side.

"Seven-Colored Scale" Kokeshi, "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi, and Ge Jin stood on the outermost perimeter, looking in the direction of the humans.

"What is that?" "Beast General" Hekete Hekete Weishi felt the powerful power filled in the holy light, a bit surprised.

"5th Rank 'Resurrection of the Dead', that woman actually mastered such power!"

Ge Jin was also stunned and surprised.

"Seven-Colored Scales" Luosheshe did not speak, his scarlet snake pupils flickering.

He felt more and more that the hill demi-humans had been too arrogant before, underestimating the power of humans too much.
