The death of the third Demonized Crow obviously scared the remaining two, they flew in the sky and didn't dare to come down again. When the other normal crows saw the sudden appearance of strangers, they also stopped attacking and turned back into a dark cloud, "Caw Caw Caw" as they covered the sky.
At this moment, Evan only had one word in his heart: MMP.
There were crows in the sky, the ones chasing after him were "crows", and the people in strange clothes that suddenly appeared were also "crows".
Today, he had simply fallen into the crow's nest.
At this time, as the crows left, only Elvin and a few strange people wearing bird masks were left, the atmosphere became a bit strange.
"Who are you people, what are you hiding here for?"
Seeing that these strange people had killed the big crow in the end, Elvin didn't consider them as enemies for the time being. He patted off the crow feathers on his body and asked, but his tone wasn't good.
"I …" Sean who was closest to Elvin was about to speak, but he was patted on the shoulder by the officer standing behind him, so he moved to the side to make room for the officer.
"This …" the Crowmen officer couldn't tell who Elvin was for a while.
Although his hunting outfit was a bit dirty, it was made of good material and was well-tailored. His skin was fair and handsome, he was completely different from a normal hunter. In his hand was a fine half-handed sword used by navy officers, and when he observed his swordsmanship just now, there were also traces of military swordsmanship.
Logically speaking, he should be an official, or at least an upper-class person, but Elvin obviously didn't recognize his outfit, so the Crowmen officer couldn't guess who he was.
So he tried asking:
"This … Sir, we are a secret force under the kingdom's government, my name is Saber, how should I address you?"
If Elvin was just a normal hunter, he would've already used the authority granted by the kingdom to forcefully conscript him. But facing this young man whose strength was slightly above his own, the Crowmen officer didn't dare to be too forceful.
He was already a peak-level Novice Knight, above him could only be an official Extraordinary. No matter where one was, a Level 2 Ranker was not a cabbage that could be found anywhere. In the navy, they had already reached the standard of a field officer. If one was lucky, they could even become a captain.
In this world, strength was the most important thing. Even if he couldn't guess Elvin's background, he still spoke very politely.
"There's no need for that. I think you guys should hurry up and run. There are two Black Ghost Nannies chasing after me. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to. Do you know Ghost Witch Crow? "
Although they were strangers, Elvin didn't want the Ghost Crow Granny chasing after him to hurt the innocent.
In particular, these few people, whether it was their behavior or their attire, had a strong military style. Although they might not be subordinates to each other, they could still be considered as comrades.
The three of them looked at each other. Wasn't this their target? Therefore, not only did he not listen to Elvin's suggestion to escape, but he was also quite eager to try.
It was still the Crowmen's commander, Saberk, who spoke with a joyful tone: "That's exactly why we're here. We've been chasing after the three Crow Onibaba sisters who escaped from the Frost Leaf Forest. Can Your Excellency provide us with some information? "
"Three sisters? No wonder the other two were so angry when you killed one. Your mission is to kill these three Crow Onibabas? "
"That's right, we are …" Saberk hurriedly shared their background and mission with Elvin. In the war between humans and demons, this level of information didn't violate the confidentiality rules.
Being able to meet a potential helper like Elvin here was also a pleasant surprise for the Crowmen. Being able to kill an extremely troublesome Crow Onibaba by himself greatly reduced the pressure on their mission.
If they could easily finish the mission, who would be willing to use their own bodies to fight demons with a steel sword and a musket? Even if the Crowmen's casualty rate wasn't publicly announced, they knew about it.
Now that they had the chance, they would naturally try their best to recruit Elvin as a strong helper.
From Saberk's explanation, Elvin had a general understanding of what kind of organization this was.
Normally, the world that normal people knew was called the Surface World. It was a world where normal people lived and worked peacefully. Everything there followed common sense, at least on the surface, it was peaceful.
On the other hand, the world where supernaturals, demonized creatures and monsters were active was called the Inner World or the Mystical Realm.
Strictly speaking, the two weren't completely separate. Although under the suppression of the True God's churches and the government, most supernaturals were able to abide by the principle of concealment and didn't actively expose their abnormalities on a large scale. However, there were still a lot of supernaturals who weren't willing to abide by the rules and even acted recklessly.
This organization called the Crowmen was equivalent to the government's Demon Hunters. They were specifically used to eliminate demons, violent creatures, and even supernaturals who were also humans.
If one had been in contact with the world of supernaturals for a long time, the Crowmen's name would be like thunder to every supernaturals. Elvin had only just stepped into the realm of supernaturals and had the qualifications to understand these secrets, which was why he didn't recognize them.
Hearing their background, Elvin was filled with respect.
As an official organization, these guys naturally walked the path of Knight. Although Knight's were known for their stability, they obviously lacked supernatural means in the early stages.
And it was these people who used their own flesh and blood to create a solid dam for normal people, firmly blocking the strange and dangerous world of supernaturals from the peaceful lives of normal people.
To quote a saying from the previous world: "There's no such thing as a peaceful life, there's only someone carrying the burden for you."
Thinking that, Elvin wasn't in a hurry to leave. If he had their cooperation, there was a high chance that he could kill the remaining two Ghost Crows.
Other than admiring his profession, this was the first time he was being hunted down since he transmigrated. Elvin couldn't just leave with his tail between his legs.
As the leader, Saber already had the strength of a peak Novice Knight. Although the other two were a bit weaker, they were also on the path of supernaturals and were much stronger than normal people. They were already qualified to be his helpers.
After exchanging information, they temporarily formed a united front. Their strategy was also very simple. There were still two Ghost Crows left. Elvin and the Crowmen's team would each take one.
After all, they weren't children. Although they had a common enemy, they still had to be vigilant against strangers. Especially in this kind of wilderness, neither Elvin nor the Crowmen could completely trust each other.
They didn't have to wait for long. Just as Elvin reloaded his musket while the crows were away, a loud noise rang out.
Whoosh — —
Accompanied by a cold and damp wind mixed with a strange fragrance, the two Ghost Crows that were originally following Elvin flapped their wings and claws, lightly gliding over the treetops.
Caw caw caw …
