"Tiger, the Tigers of the church?"

Duke's was somewhat uncertain to double-check if he had heard him wrong.

"It's the Tiger Knight who came with Her Highness the Holy Maiden last month. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from the guards, Duke's inner doubts were not answered, but became more and more intense.

At this time, it was only a little more than a month before Agnes left, and it was common sense to assume that it should take at least the same amount of time to end the entire trip, and there was no reason to return now.

And Agnes doesn't have the habit of reporting progress to Duke, and has been out of contact for so long, so she shouldn't have sent someone over to explain the situation to her now.

Therefore, he was a little undecided for a while, and he didn't know why Knight Tiger came back like this.

However, the guard who had come to report the situation reminded again: "Lord, please make a quick decision, the situation of that Tiger Knight is not very good......

Well?

Duke was startled, and several extremely bad guesses flashed through his mind.

In order to find out the situation, he no longer hesitated, and immediately took Lenia and the guards to the gate of the school field to check.

"Lord Duke, you can save Her Highness!"

As soon as he arrived at the school gate, before Duke could see his surroundings, a dark shadow hugged his thigh with lightning speed, and kept crying.

Lenia didn't react for a while, and was about to draw her sword to react when Duke reached out and pressed it down.

Holding Duke's thigh was none other than the Tigered Knight, who was polite and high-spirited when he met him last month.

At this time, he was as embarrassed as he was, and countless blood and mud splashed all over his body, covering the originally bright and brilliant silver-white armor with an extremely dull and luster.

The long golden hair that had been carefully groomed was fluffy, and a few strands of hair hung down, obscuring the panic and fear in his eyes, adding a bit of indescribable weirdness.

Duke tried to push his arms away, but Tiger clamped his legs tightly, and it hurt.

However, as a mage, he is not a great knight after all, and he is the opponent of a great knight who unconsciously bursts out of all his muscle strength in panic, and he can't break free after several efforts, and even Lenia can't push it with the help of the side.

"Tiger Knight, calm down and tell us what's going on, so we can help you out. Seeing that it didn't work, Duke used words to try to calm down Tiger and communicate well.

His current state could not give Duke any effective information, except for his deeper and deeper doubts and leg pain.

"Dead, all dead!

As soon as Duke finished speaking, Tiger's eyes widened as if he had been stimulated by something, and the strength in his hands increased a little, and Duke could already hear the tooth-aching sound of his bones rubbing against his armor.

But what Duke really cared about was what he meant by "dead" over and over again, and if it really got to the worst of it, the pain was nothing.

Click!

Lenia on the side watched the lord suffer, and Tiger was still not awake, after all, he couldn't help but directly pick up his fist and punch Tiger in the face, making a crisp sound of bones being hit.

Tiger ate a solid iron fist from Lenia without warning, and at that moment the entire skull was raised at an obtuse angle, his mouth trembled and opened wide, and he couldn't close it at all, and the hands that had been holding Duke's legs finally hung down weakly.

Duke couldn't bear to look at the embarrassment of Tiger, who used to be a beautiful man, it was obvious that the chief knight lady did not have the consciousness of hitting people without slapping her face, the key is that she was always fully armed when she was in the barracks, and the iron glove on her right hand has never been taken off!

Fortunately, Tiger finally came back to his soul after taking an iron fist, and after staying for a while, his eyes finally had focus and aura, and he didn't have to bother Lenia to prepare to shoot again.

He let out a few meaningless ** sounds, straightened his jaw hard, and then fell to the ground and sobbed.

"Tiger Knight, please tell us what's going on. Seeing that his emotions had calmed down considerably, Duke asked again what had happened.

Hearing Duke's inquiry, Tiger stopped crying and wiped his face even more with blood and sludge with a few hard strokes.

He was silent for a moment before he said quietly, "We have fallen for the tricks of the Church of the End, and now the Holy Maiden is being trapped in the depths of the Dark Mountains by them with strange magic. I...... I'm sorry for Her Highness, I didn't do my duty as a guard, I ......"

"Wait, don't take responsibility for yourself just yet. What did you say was all dead?What is Agnes's situation now?What about Simon?" Seeing that Tiger was about to show signs of losing control of his emotions again, Duke quickly interrupted his self-abandonment and asked what he was most concerned about.

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden is relatively safe at the moment, but she is trapped by the cultist's formation and can't get out. As for Sir Simon......" He hesitated visibly when he said Simon, and then said, "Sir Simon said that he found the trace of the Plague Strategist and left before us, so I don't know the details now. ”

After listening to Tiger's description, Duke touched his chin, it seems that Simon, who is the true guardian of the Holy Maiden, was led away first, so the rest of the people will be targeted by other cultists to cause the current situation.

Immediately, he was keenly aware of another problem, although Agnes's strength was not as good as Simon's, but through Simon's recognition of some of her words, removing her self-selling and boasting elements, her own strength should not be much lower.

And he still has a dozen or twenty subordinates to drive, how can he be trapped alone.

"What about your comrades?"

"Who did it?"

Remembering what Tiger had said earlier, Duke almost knew the truth after asking this sentence, so he added another sentence.

The knight who had just stopped his tears in front of him showed a sad look again, and snorted a few times before saying, "There are some people who have encountered misfortune on the road. Eventually, we were confronted with one of the Ten Calamities, who led countless monsters to surround us, and desecrated the Light in a depraved manner, preventing us from using our full strength, and finally ......"

Disaster?

I remember that Agnes said that the ten plagues are very mysterious, and they basically act alone, but I didn't expect to find out two at once this time.

In addition, they actually have magical items that can weaken the power of the magic of the Holy Light, so it is not particularly strange that Agnes is trapped and the rest of them are almost completely wiped out.

Looking at the grief-stricken Tiger Knight, who had long been unable to help himself, Duke patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "You go and have a good rest first, I will go to the rescue of Her Highness the Holy Maiden immediately after discussing with my subordinates!"
