Death Knight - v2 Chapter 8

Xiu Yin finally woke up, he stared blankly at the gray sky in front of him, and finally realized that it was the top of the tent under the light. Later, memories before the loss of consciousness came to mind.

What exactly is this place? What’s wrong with Catori? Where is the enemy?

Xiu Yin planned to sit up and confirm these, but it wasn’t until he put it into action that it was too difficult for him-the body almost completely lost consciousness from below the neck. The mage then concentrated all his mental energy on the tip of his finger, just like usual casting. He imagined that his will would pass through the muscles and eventually reach the index finger of his right hand. With persistent efforts, the stubborn forefinger finally moved twitchingly.

It seemed that the blow had not paralyzed me, and the mage was relieved. But what exactly is the current situation? Maybe I was caught by those Fahdots, but it’s also possible that Catoli made a breakthrough … In short, the first thing to do now is sit up from bed.

When Thomas opened the curtain of the tent, he just saw that he was trying to support himself with his arms. He was so attentive that he did not find a Necromancer standing beside him.

“Are you awake? The young man’s resilience is really good.” Thomas opened his mouth when the other party completed the goal of sitting on the bed. “You have been sleeping for two full days.”

“Has it been two days …” the mage muttered, and he later recognized that the person in front of him was his own enemy. Suin suddenly understood the current situation, and his tone hardened. “Where is this? You want to put How about me? “

“Please report your name before asking, young mage.” Necromancer replied with pride unique to the winner.

“… My name is Xiuyin, Xiuyin Weiner.” The other side was silent for a while, then opened his mouth.

“My name is Thomas. Like you, I am a high-level mage and specialize in necromancy.” Thomas just smiled at the captive’s attitude. “You are now in the marching tent of the Chief Knights of Fahdodo, and then In a day, we can walk out of the hills of Santill and reach the capital of this country. In addition, your physical defenses are doing a good job, and they can absorb most of the power of sword fighting, I thought you would be Lord Austin cut it in half. “

“It turned out to be sword fighting …” Xiuyin smiled bitterly. “So … my companions … have also been arrested?”

“Who do you think can be cured of such a serious injury?” The necromancer sat on the other side of the bed with interest.

The young high-ranking mage was silent, and he reached into his clothes, struggling with the muscles of the chest and abdomen-the skin was smooth everywhere, and there was no sign of injury at all.

“The pretty girl did the treatment for you, and then another Paladin was responsible for restoring your physical strength, otherwise you might not be able to wake up within two days if you have suffered such a serious injury,” Thomas did not hide his expression. Longing, “This is the power of God … the power of manipulating the power of life, it is incredible.”

“Katori, Rennes, Josephine … have they been caught too …” Xiuin muttered to himself and lowered his head.

“Your companions are also in this barracks, but I think you better not have any stupid thoughts. You are separated by more than a thousand elite Knights, and I have also cast a spell seal on you. Do n’t try to use it Transfer the square array. “Necromancer stood up and walked to the exit of the tent.” Let ’s just say that here. I will let someone use a stretcher to carry you tomorrow morning. After arriving in the capital, I hope you can cooperate with us. . “

As soon as the other party was gone, the deadly silence surrounded them quickly, and wrapped Muraan’s mage in it. After talking so much, Xiu Yin felt that his throat was dry and astringent, but he was not in the mood to drink water and rest at all. The feeling of remorse was like the huge shadow cast by the light, enveloping him in the deep darkness.

I should take full responsibility for this failure. If I could stay calm while being attacked by the skeletons, the team would not be found. If you can think carefully when you are under attack, you won’t take sword fighting as a blade of wind. If not to save herself, how could Catoli surrender?

“Shuin Weiner, you are really a useless guy.” The mage said in a hollow, helpless voice. I was only 19 years old when I passed the high-level mage assessment, which is the same as Kadar ~! Not only that, Xiu Yin also participated in many contact battles with the undead, relying on strong magic power and unexpected tactics, each time he could successfully defend himself from the tide-like impact. When he was selected by the French King’s Hall as a member of the World Tree Search Team, he confidently believed that he could overcome all obstacles, but until now he found that not only could he not fight against demons, but even the enemy who was also a human being could not be defeated.

It seems that I am no different from ordinary nerds … maybe, only magic can make you really understand the meaning of power …

However, that is also a wish that can be realized without being caught. Now that I have become a captive, and I have become a captive with my companions, what kind of future is waiting for us? Death …? Thinking of this, the mage could not help shrinking his body.

“I really want to know how they are now.” Xiu Yin couldn’t restrain what he thought.

I really want to know what’s going on with them … Katori sighed.

As Austin promised, Captorie and her party who had become captives did not suffer any torture, and she was alone in the tent at this moment. But the girl knew that certain magical props were constantly monitoring her actions, and there were at least six swordsmen in charge of guarding outside the door.

Not only that, they also wear Mithril fetters on their feet. This thing is not only extremely strong, but also weighs several times more than ordinary products. It can be tolerated when marching in the daytime-the wizard will apply lightweight magic , But now, even walking is inconvenient. Catoli suspects that even with a weapon in her hand, it takes at least ten minutes to cut off the fetters.

Tomorrow the Fahdods will leave the hills of Santill and enter the heavily guarded capital. This evening is the last chance. If you can’t escape now, then this mission will be a failure ~!

what should I do? Is there any way to escape? Or … can you just wait and see?

The anxiety quietly caught the girl’s heart. She subconsciously put her hand on the pendant on her chest, and wanted to seek the care of God. But the more prayers Catholi chanted, the greater the gap in her heart. The fear that had been suppressed in her heart for two days, now seemed to be surging waves, launching shock again and again. The questioning made her desperate deep into her mind.

The Fahdods cannot find the world tree. Even if they find it, how can mortals control the power of God alone? What would happen if the death knight dispatched by the undead came first?

Ishtouli will become a new god, and after seven years of struggle, the Luvis Alliance will collapse, the people of the goddess will be reduced to the soul of the undead army, and the Lorendan continent will resent the dead And the burial atmosphere.

Fortunately, I must not see the end of the world … because, before that happens, will be executed by these stupid people who long for power? A bitter smile appeared on the girl’s face. In the next moment, tears mixed with the smell of fear burst out in anger, and kept flowing.

“What should I do?” Catollie sobbed and buried her head between her knees. “Can anyone help me?”

Rennes walked back and forth impatiently in the tent.

“It’s been two days and I can’t even see Catoli during the march … what about they won’t take her?” Said the Paladin, worried again.

“If you are referring to the‘ that aspect ’violation, I believe that the Chief Knights of Fahdot cannot do it.” Josephine sighed, wondering secretly how many times this dialogue was repeated.

“Today will arrive in Fahdodo’s capital. If you don’t run away tonight, you won’t have a chance.” Rennes once again reached for his fetters, but Mithril products did not respond to his struggle at all.

“Magic is being monitored in this area, not to mention there are ten guards outside. We are defenseless. How can we escape?”

“Don’t you be able to sit still like this?” The other party finally gave up his futile action and sat next to the ranger. “Well, if I could be stronger, I would be able to deal with that swordsman with Catori. And the battle will end soon. “

Josephine looked at the young man beside him, the other side clenched his fists indignantly, and his brows were not reconciled. The look made the Ranger naturally think of himself more than ten years ago-it was an expression poured out of a mold.

“Do you like Katori?” He asked suddenly.

“What time is it now, how do you think about asking this kind of thing !?” Rain’s face sullenly turned red.

“If you had to die for her at some point, would you be willing to do that?” Ranger asked straightforwardly, and the serious look told the other side that he was not kidding.

“Dying for her? Maybe I would hesitate when I act, but if that’s the only option … no matter how scared I have to do it?” Despite some strangeness, Ren still seriously answered, “It’s just that in the five years with her, it seems that Catoli has troubled her a lot, but there are only a few things that can help …”

“Don’t mind too much, she can understand your mood,” Josephine patted him on the shoulder. “But, there is one point I would like to advise you as someone who came, rather than the kind of touching that killed the other , Maybe the usual thoughtfulness and attractive dreams can keep the girl ’s heart. “

When Rennes just opened his mouth to answer, a loud roar from outside the tent interrupted him. The instinct of a good warrior’s perception of fear caused the pores of the paladin and the ranger to erect, and the nightmare memories of a short while ago flickered by this fierce shock-the two soon thought Rising, the roar was exactly the curse from the deepest throat of the Fire Demon.

Here comes the demons who twist the void.

A behemoth rammed wildly in the jungle, and from time to time, a tree with the thickness of a bowl fell trembling. The roar of the trees as they landed, and the six dazzling red dots inlaid in front of the black outline, immediately attracted a Fahdot night patrol. The knights did not know the true colors of the attackers, but the number of more than twenty people made them confident that they would be able to defeat the enemies hidden in the dark.

“Keep the formation forward, as soon as the opponent enters the range, the archer will attack immediately!” The captain issued an order and stood at the forefront of example.

“Everyone should be careful, that thing is not an ordinary beast … it may be a summoned creature, you must go all out to deal with it ~!” The mage is in the center of the formation.

The strong body quickly approached the knights on the edge of the jungle. Until then, they found that the opponent’s body was larger than expected, and the speed of movement was abnormal. The arrow rain shot by the archer was only a few. Hit it, and it failed to stop its charge. After a few rounds of shooting, a huge shadow has rushed out of the trees and flew towards the flesh and blood in front of him.

The Fahdod’s captain greeted him without changing his face. The sword in his hand cut exactly to the monster’s head, and the two knights next to him also supported from the side. However, it wasn’t the wail of the monster that followed, but the moaning when the metal broke-the three heads of the helldog respectively took the knight’s chop, and the two-handed sword that was bitten by it was like a fragile toothpick. It broke in a moment.

A deep roar came from the depths of the demon’s throat, making the three who lost their weapons feel creepy. The six red eyes that glowed with red light seemed to burn up, and they couldn’t face the glare. The next moment, Captain Cavalier’s head was like a tomato, chewed into shreds between the hell’s teeth. The blood arrow soared from the torn neck into the air, and the other two stared blankly at everything in front of them, even forgetting to escape.

“Hurry ~! Don’t be there ~! The archer continues to shoot arrows, and the striker turns to the side to attack ~!” The first responder was the mage in the center of the team, but in the gap between his words, the agile demon was like a sharp knife Entered into the formation, rushed to the camp behind them after tearing the other two archers.

“Damn, that’s a hellhound … a demon from Umbra ~! How did this happen in Stantill? I must immediately report this to my superiors, and not let the camp be attacked by demons ~!”

“But, I think there are more serious problems to face now …” The archer on the side took the conversation with a trembling voice and pulled the other’s sleeve. The mage turned his head back, and this time his pupil was a giant as tall as two stories, with hot magma flowing all over his body.

“How is this possible?” He muttered to himself, like his comrades around him, feeling that his brain had become blank, and the surrounding trees quickly withered, smoked, burned under the licking of the tongue of fire, and finally Finally it became a flame of fire, depicting the scene of **** on earth under the dark night.

When Austin rushed out of the tent, the four-meter-long flame knife just chopped off his face-a Balrog was about to destroy the Knight’s Commander’s residence. Before being roasted into coke, Austin avoided the blow with his excellent reflex nerves, but the sound of hunting wind from the weapon still made his eardrums feel stinging.

Why do demons appear here? This was the first question after Juggernaut restored balance, but it was clear that the other party did not answer his intention. The enchanter once again raised the big knife in his hand, kicked the tent that had been turned into ruins, and growled and turned to the new prey in front of him. For Austin, who used a narrow-edged sword, the equipment of the middle-ranked demon was quite tricky. He couldn’t break through the all-round attack of the Nine-Headed Whip, let alone the long knife wrapped in the flame shell. But in the blink of an eye, the battle was divided into wins and defeats–Jiangsheng ’s sword fight cut off most of the opponent ’s head, and the horns on the forehead of the Flame Demon tumbling in the air driven by the strong wind, eventually deep Inserted into the ground, and the huge body fell down.

Not dead yet? What a troublesome enemy … Austin frowned, looking at the headless body struggling to climb.

“By the way, you must destroy the heart of the demon ~!” After remembering the records in the document, Jian Sheng Shun was another sword fight, and the devil’s chest was immediately penetrated by a large hole in the power. This time, the flame demon Can no longer move.

“How’s the situation around now?” Austin turned to ask Thomas, who had just stepped out of the light of the square.

“Just look at it,” the necromancer replied, his tone calm as usual-but that didn’t mean how optimistic the situation was.

The camp of the Fahdodo Knights was set up with the purpose of closely guarding the four prisoners, because no one thought they would encounter a large-scale attack in their country. This decision led to a serious shortage of external defense forces, and a large number of **** dogs easily broke into the unguarded camp. They are like a sharp knife that cuts the knights into countless small pieces. Many people are crushed under the overturned tent before waking up, and the knights will find themselves when they are ready to fight. The only thing that can be done is to search for monsters in sight without aiming to organize an effective counterattack.

“Where did these demons come from?”

“I don’t know, but at one point I can be sure that these demons will never be controlled by humans.” The other shrugged irresponsibly. “Fahdod’s record also appeared here 17 years ago. Demon … maybe this battle is just a coincidence, we may block their way … “

“So can the Cavaliers fight these demons?” Austin waved and interrupted Thomas’s history lesson.

“It’s enough to use enchanted weapons. I’ve informed the wizards that they must do a good job of assisting the knights, but even if they can fight **** dogs, I don’t think humans will have a chance to win against that kind of thing.” Thomas pointed to the camp The dazzling wall of fire rising from Edong, the shadows of dozens of giants swinging their teeth in the orange background, “Fortunately, there is no other fire monster in the camp except the one you knocked down. , We must retreat now, otherwise the Cavaliers will suffer heavy losses if they confront the mid-level demons. “

“You’re right.” The other side nodded. “The capital is only one day away from here. There are enough troops to resist these guys. Immediately send a mage to call for assistance in the name of the Chief Knights. We quickly Retreat to the west and try to meet with reinforcements as soon as possible. “

“What about those alliance captives?”

“It’s up to you, take care of their safety, and never let anyone escape.” Austin patted the necromancer’s shoulder. “I have to organize the Cavaliers, just these barking hellhounds, Not yet qualified to stop the action of the Chief Cavaliers of Fahdodor ~! “

“It’s a mess outside,” Josephine stood up. “Maybe it’s a good chance to run away. Even in the face of the devil, it’s better than being treated as a chess piece by the Fahdot, do you think?”

“To be honest, I don’t like both,” Ren replied frankly, the young Paladin could never forget the battle with the Lord of the Abyss. “But if I have to choose, I hope to make something that will get us out of it. Difficult choice. “

At this point, both were ready to fight. However, the procedure is actually very simple, just refers to getting up from the ground and moving the stiff limbs. They are unarmed and still have heavy fetters, and this way they can’t deal with demons even if they are desperate. From that creepy roar to the tent, no one came in to explain it now, and Rennes even wondered if the Fahdods had left their captives and fled.

“I’ll go and see ~!” The young paladin finally made up his mind. “At this time, the guards should not cut me before they ask … if there are guards outside the tent.”

Just as Ren took the first step, the curtain of the tent just opened, but it wasn’t humans that came in, but three ugly dog ​​heads linked together–one with a guard **** on his mouth. In the upper body, the swollen large intestine was dragged from the corpse’s torn belly, and a stinky mark was made on the ground.

“Hell dog ~!” The two of them yelled in unison, and the words did not fall. The demon at the door had leapt forward and rushed to Rennes nearest to him.

This shot down, the Paladin avoided the attack of the **** dog in a tumbling manner, but the small tent could not withstand the impact of the mighty force, and it collapsed after a few shakes. After working hard for a long time, Rennes finally got rid of the heavy canvas on his body, but at the same time, the Paladin suddenly found that he suddenly had a big mouth of blood in his eyes—the mouth of the **** dog.

“Ryan ~! Run away ~!” The Ranger shouted exhaustedly, but there was no way to stop the demon’s imminent lethal attack.

The Paladin subconsciously blocked his right hand in front of him. The next moment, a sharp ice spear wiped his ear and swept past, buried deep in the mouth of the **** dog. A large piece of red liquid emerged, and the dog’s head yanked silently.

“Don’t worry, the Knights will ensure your safety. Now please come here quickly. I will take care of that hellhound!” Thomas said loudly, meanwhile, the six Fahdodo Knights Quickly swooped in from both wings-not so much as to solve the devil, but rather to prevent them from escaping.

Rennes and Josephine quickly exchanged glances. They are very clear. If they don’t run away now, I’m afraid they won’t have a chance in this life.

For some reason, the Paladin suddenly remembered that during the battle in Belial, Catoli watched the other side’s trusting eyes silently—but it was not for himself, but for the demon hunter who dared to confront the Lord of the Abyss. .

“Perhaps attractive dreams can keep the girl’s heart more.” Ranger’s words rang in his ears.

I don’t intend to extravagantly … but if I can successfully break out now and break the disadvantaged situation of being captured, Catoli will definitely trust me more, right? In the future … will you notice more about my affairs and mood? I don’t want to be regarded as a character to take care of anymore, so this time, I must rely on my own strength to turn the situation around!

Just bet on my life ~!

Ryan clenched his teeth, yelled, and rushed to the injured **** dog. The Fahdods were stunned by this suicidal behavior and had no idea how to stop it. When the human approached, the remaining two heads of the demon immediately moved, but the Paladin cleverly slid from its forelimbs by inertia, then pulled the opponent’s body, and turned over and rode on the back of the **** dog .

The devil shook his body violently, trying to shake off the tiny human body, but Ren was very clear that at this level, there was no way to let him break through the siege of the Fahdod, so he ignored the consequences Inserted his fingers into the red eyes of the **** dog-the pain turned the **** dog into a mad cow, it growled and tore everything that it could reach, and hit the knights with amazing strength and speed. Even the ice wall made by Thomas failed to block the angered demons.

Everyone could only watch the demon with its captive on his back and sink into the gloomy hills, and when they returned to God, they found that the son of the forest had nowhere to go ~!

“Damn ~! How did it become this ~ !?” The necromancer’s tone finally lost his usual calmness. “Start the hunt immediately, and arrest me both of them ~!”
