"Roger, let's go see what the Blood Knight is guarding."
"Listen to you."
"So good?"
"I've always been good."
"Come on, you must be scared by me."
"No, let's go to the Blood Knights. We might be able to get some clues to deduce the purpose of the Blood Tribe. But Filia, if the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too big, we must retreat. After all, in addition to the Blood Knights, there are four Punishers. That is also an existence that is not easy to mess with.”
"I know, I will protect you, and I am not someone to be trifled with."
Rogge was ashamed. He was really not as strong as Filia now. If he really had a conflict with the Blood Knight, Filia would be the main force.
"Oh, I want to become stronger quickly and become someone you can rely on."
Filia pushed Rogge up on her shoulder with a smile, and leaned on Rogge's shoulder instead: "You are satisfied."
Rogge felt hot and became bolder. He slowly put his arms around Filia's shoulders.
"Roger."
Rogge quickly moved his hand away: "What...what's wrong?"
"You really don't have to be afraid of me. I only do that to my enemies."
"Yes." Rogge felt relieved, and in order to show that he was really not afraid, he hugged Filia harder.
After a few days of being alone together, Rogge felt that the distance between him and Filia had become much closer.
"But if you touch me randomly, I will still beat you." Filia added.
Yes, it has not been successful yet, and we still need to work hard.
According to the information obtained from interrogating the vampire captain, the location of the blood knight is at the southeastern edge of the frozen plateau, which is not the only way for Rogge and Filia to get to the holy tree.
But since Filia wants to go there and can indeed get more information, Rogge naturally agrees.
Filia marked the location of the Blood Knight on Rogge's map, and Rogge took the initiative to lead the way, leading the road-crazy Filia on the frozen plateau.
On the second day of searching for the blood knight, the two met another group of blood warriors.
The four Vampires were all junior warriors. They were not very strong and were in ambush. Even their positions were similar to the first team of Vampires they encountered.
Then the same tactics as before would be used. Filia pretended not to know and walked forward while Rogge dealt with the sneak attack behind her.
"Hehe, this human girl is so beautiful, I want to..."
Before the Vampire could finish speaking, Filia unleashed a flaming slash, and a Vampire head flew into the air.
Without any suspense, this team of vampires was completely wiped out in a very short time.
The next day, the two of them had arrived at the location of the Blood Knight.
This is a hidden lowland in the plateau. There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. The Blood Knight stood silently in the center of the lowland, holding his hands on the hilt of the black epee in front of him, wearing a mighty black armor. With a cold light.
Of course, the blood knight is not the only vampire here. There are four vampires wearing gorgeous black light armor in the four corners of the lowland, with their backs to the blood knight, guarding him.
"One Blood Knight and four Punishers are not easy to fight." Rogge whispered to Filia.
The enemy is open and we are hidden. If Rogge and Filia attack secretly, Filia should be able to kill a punisher, but even the vampire captain can avoid Rogge's arrows aimed at the blood core, so the punisher can do it even more.
Therefore, Rogge cannot kill the Punisher with a sneak attack, but it is definitely no problem to hold it down steadily. After a long time, there is a high probability of killing him.
The key is that it doesn't take long, and the remaining two Punishers and Blood Knights are not just decorations. It is too reluctant for Filia to fight three against one.
Moreover, the vampires are basically demon masters. The contracted monsters of the Punisher and the Blood Knight are definitely stronger than the bloodthirsty magic bats encountered before, and Filia's flame horse may not be able to deal with them.
Filia quickly calculated the strength of the enemy and ourselves. It was indeed difficult to fight, so she said: "Let's retreat first. Looking at the motionless look of the blood knight, there must be something fishy here. Let's see if we can find some helpers before we come back."
Rogge said: "Well, we are definitely not the only ones who are randomly teleported to the frozen plateau. Spirit beasts and people from the Holy Spirit-Calling Kingdom can become our allies. There are so many hiding places on this plateau, and they will definitely not be killed by the vampires. Kill them all."
The two retreated quietly. As soon as they left the observation point, they heard a loud roar coming from the opposite side of the low ground.
"Moo!" That was the voice of the elephant. The two looked at each other and returned to the observation point.
I saw a giant elephant on the opposite side raising its trunk and rushing towards the Blood Knight in the center of the lowland. The elephant's eyes were like knives, and it wanted to cut the Blood Knight into pieces with a thousand knives!
The giant elephant stepped on the ground with all four legs, and the ground shook. Even Rogge and Filia who were far away could feel the vibration. Its charge was unhesitating, fierce and decisive.
However, the Blood Knight pretended that the giant elephant did not exist and still stood in the original posture.
The giant elephant was about to rush to the punisher's position on the periphery. At this moment, a black shadow flashed quickly and passed by the giant elephant. Suddenly, a large amount of blood spurted out from the giant elephant's left leg.
"Moo!" the giant elephant screamed. The severe pain in its left leg caused it to stop charging. It turned around and stared fiercely at the person who hurt it.
Rogge looked in surprise at the Vampire who suddenly appeared and wounded the giant elephant with one blow. She was a Vampire woman. She was wearing exquisite black clothing, a large and gorgeous cape, and her dark red hair was shrouded under a hood. The tip of the rapier in his hand was pointing to the ground, still dripping with blood.
The speed of her attack just now was even faster than Filia's full blow. This was definitely a being of a higher level than the Blood Knight.
Dark priest? Probably not. Dark priests are often saint-level experts, and the power of the blow just now is still far behind that of the saint-level.
That was the adjudicator, a king-level powerhouse, two levels higher than Rogge.
Filia also expressed her judgment: "That is a judge, and his skills are at the king level. I didn't expect that there is such a strong person ambushing here."
Rogge was also frightened. If they had chosen to attack just now, there would most likely be two corpses by now.
"This giant elephant doesn't seem to be weak. Look at the wound, it seems to be healing on its own." Rogge's sharp eyes could clearly see that the amount of bleeding from the wound on the elephant's left leg was rapidly decreasing.
"Rogg, if the giant elephant can maintain a stalemate with the adjudicator, we will attack."
"There won't be any more Adjudicators lying in wait, right?"
"Probably not. If there are still, he has no reason not to attack this huge threatening elephant."
"Well, I'll shoot the Punisher on the right."
As expected, the giant elephant and the adjudicator were in a stalemate. Although this giant elephant was a Yuanling-level spiritual beast, it had rough skin and thick flesh that was very resistant to beatings, and it also had sensitive reflexes that were contrary to its huge size.
The Adjudicator is very fast, but the wounds caused to the giant elephant are not many. Due to the natural talent of the giant elephant family to heal quickly, it cannot cause much damage.
The giant elephant's powerful trunk swing and giant tusk attack are so powerful that even a king-level adjudicator can't stand even one hit, so the adjudicator must deal with them carefully.
The giant elephant leapfrogged and held back the adjudicator, but that was all. Every wound would bleed. The wound could heal itself, but the lost physical strength and blood would not. As time went by, it would definitely die.
"Get ready. The Punisher's attention is on the giant elephant. You can just shoot the arrow. I'll ride on the crimson flame and kill him." Filia arranged her equipment and waited for Rogge to take action first.
Rogge fully drew the Jade Fire Bow, aimed at the blood core of the Punisher on the right, charged up and fired an arrow!
At the same time, Filia summoned the flaming horse and stood up. Regardless of whether Rogge's attack was successful or not, she went straight towards the nearest punisher.
Rogge's arrow still failed to kill the Punisher. His excellent combat skills and strong physical ability allowed the Punisher to dodge while still having enough energy to try to cut off the arrow.
However, the power of the Jade Fire Bow was too great and the arrow speed was too fast. The Punisher failed. The slash only made the arrow go further, but it still pierced into his body.
The vigilant intermediate peak vampires are not so easy to shoot, but Rogge is also an intermediate level, and the Jade Fire Bow is still a rare and high-level weapon. He is confident that he can kill the Punisher.
Rogge was highly concentrated and shot arrows one after another at the Punisher's defensive gaps with great precision. The Punisher had already suffered serious injuries, and it became increasingly difficult to block and dodge.
At this time, Filia had already charged towards the nearest Punisher on Crimson Flame, and the Punisher was preparing to defend in an attempt to stop Filia.
But with the bonus of the extremely high-speed charge of the Flame Horse, the power of Filia's already swift Flame Slash was doubled. The punisher at the intermediate level was cut in half by her like a piece of tofu!
The Punisher was too confident in his own strength, but he had no chance to regret it.
The remaining two punishers had already reacted, and one of them quickly released a signal flare into the sky, calling for support from the surrounding compatriots. They didn't use flares when the giant elephant attacked, but the woman riding the flaming horse killed one of her companions with one blow, obviously posing a great threat to the Blood Knight.
The vampires have been hunting spiritual beasts and humans in recent days. There are only so many defensive forces around the Blood Knights. They did not expect that there would be spiritual beasts and humans attacking them.
The blood knight could no longer maintain his sword-holding posture. The black iron heavy sword had already been unsheathed, and he swung it towards Filia who was riding a horse.
"Bang!" The sound of the two swords clashing pierced the clouds and cracked the stone. The black iron heavy sword relied on its own weight to resist Filia's charge and slash on horseback.
Filia dismounted and said to Lieyanma: "Red Flame, go help Rogge!"
The Punishers over there have summoned their contracted monsters, all dire bat wolves, and are quickly rushing towards Rogge's location.
Filia was worried, but she was the only one who could deal with the blood knight in front of her.
The blood knight was already walking towards Filia with a heavy sword in hand, "Huh..." Filia adjusted her breathing and faced the fight calmly. This was a vampire of the same level as her, so she must be treated with caution.
Over there, Rogg also took advantage of the injured Punisher to summon a monster and shot him again. Punisher was hit by two arrows. The special effect of the Jade Fire Bow, Soul Burning, continued to work, and he was no longer able to fight.
Three dire bat wolves were rushing towards him. Although monsters like bat wolves could glide, the cost was the loss of running speed, which was even slower than that of forest wolves.
Rogge quickly activated the speed movement and quickly moved his position. At the same time, he drew his bow and shot at the dire manta wolf that rushed to the front without a rider.
This bat wolf was summoned by the severely injured Punisher. It was larger and faster than the other two, and it should be a battle-level monster.
War Regret, as the name suggests, you will regret fighting with it. The War Regret level monster is not something that Rogge can defeat now. He can only escape to the flame horse that comes to support him.
