Chapter 494: Half-faced Knight

"This, how is this possible?!Father, father is defeated?!" As the black dot representing the Death Knights became smaller and smaller in Gagawan's pupils until it disappeared completely, Gagawan's whole person looked as if his soul had been extracted, and he fell to the ground in despair.

"Your Highness. ”

At this moment, a tall figure wearing the Death Armor (Death Knight Armor) suddenly appeared and half-knelt in front of Gagavin.

The knight's stature looked unusually tall, close to two meters, which was undoubtedly quite rare among the Rolanders who were not tall on average, and he looked like an orc, no, as strong as an ogre! He was wearing a death armor, but he did not wear a helmet, so his hideous face, which was nearly half burned, was clearly displayed in front of Gagavin.

Such a face undoubtedly looks quite ugly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even hideous and scary, but when Gagawan saw this face, instead of showing disgust or fear, he looked a little ecstatic - because this Death Knight, nicknamed 'Half-faced Knight', was his father, the captain of the Death Knight Aldrich's own army, Dolph!

Gagavin knew that this half-faced knight who looked extremely hideous was definitely one of the most trusted people by his father, and he knew much more about his father than he knew as a son! However, Gagawain was never jealous of this, because the other party had this qualification, and he had already proved his absolute loyalty to his father with his actions, and even trusted him in the other party!

As long as there are people who have seriously learned about the Death Knight, I believe that there is no one who does not know the half-faced knight - Dolph is a partner from the same place as Aldrich, and the two grew up together, and bathed in the glory of the Thunder Saint King together, and awakened as a court warrior. Later, in Aldrich's growth from an unpopular warrior to the Death Knight Captain, one of the Four Horsemen of the Inquisition, for more than 200 years, from the beginning of the comrade-in-arms, to the current pro-soldier captain, Doffus has always been by Aldrich's side!

Michio earned the title of 'Half-Face Knight' because of his badly burned face, which he and Michio had been tasked with killing a dangerous summoner when Aldrich was just an ordinary Death Knight of the Death Knights. In that battle, the summoner's true strength exceeded the information they had in their possession, and the two fell into a bitter battle, but with their exquisite skills and perfect coordination, the two of them were able to kill a series of summons summoned by the summoner.

By the end, Aldrich's divine power in his body was nearly exhausted, and he was only fighting with firm will and physical strength, while Michio was already wounded and fell to the side. Seeing that Aldrich was about to defeat the last summon creature, the summoner used the magic scroll to launch a surprise attack from the side, and at that moment, Aldrich needed to resist the attack of the summoned creature, and he couldn't dodge the surprise attack from behind!

In the end, the summoner died by Aldrich's sword, but Michio also forcibly resisted the summoner's last magic, leaving him with an incurable wound on the left side of his face, and finally earned him the title of 'Half-Face Knight'!

In addition to this friendship of life and death, Dōw's loyalty to Aldrich is unquestionable - when Aldrich was thriving and rising through the ranks of the Death Knights, Dōw, who had also made countless achievements, was also favored by the Inquisition!

I believe that all the human beings in the entire Dawn Valley know that the most powerful combat power of the Inquisition is undoubtedly the Four Knights of the Apocalypse, but in the Roland Empire, from the lords and nobles to the beggars and thieves, everything is feared by the Inquisition! This mysterious institution directly under the Inquisitor, although their number is far less than that of the Four Knights, they will definitely make anyone's scalp tingle in their fanaticism and cruelty in eradicating heresy! And the Inquisition belongs directly to the Inquisitor, which is a great honor for any Inquisition warrior to be one of them!

At that time, Dolph was invited by the Inquisition, but in the end, the Half-Faced Knight refused without any consideration - between the Inquisition and Aldrich, he did not hesitate to choose the latter, and has been Aldrich's personal captain until now!

As for the real strength of the dolph, Gavin didn't know it, but he had no doubt that the other party was a paladin-level powerhouse! At least with his current bishop-level strength, he couldn't see the depth of the other party at all!

Seeing Michio, most of the anxiety caused to Gagarvin by the defeat of the Death Knights was immediately eliminated! While being happy, Gagawa couldn't help but look at the other party suspiciously: "Uncle Doff, why are you here?!"

Gavin always addressed him as 'uncle', knowing that his father loved to see the respect he had for his best friend!

"It was the Knight Chief who specially asked me to stay before the battle, and if the Knight Order is defeated this time, I will be ordered to escort you out. Michio's voice was slightly low and hoarse, sounding emotionless and mechanical. However, Gavin didn't think it was a pestle, he knew that no matter who the other party was talking to, it was in this tone.

"Father expected his defeat before the war?!" Hearing this, Gavin couldn't help but look at the other party in disbelief. If it weren't for the fact that it was clear that the other party was a half-faced knight who was absolutely loyal to his father, if anyone dared to say that, Gagawan would have slapped him in the face - this would have sounded like a fart to Gagawan!

"Not really. Dolph shook his head slightly, and said expressionlessly: "In this raid, the Knight Captain wanted to inflict a heavy blow on the Holy Sepulchre Guardian Order, but he didn't expect Elliot to bury such a poisonous trick at any cost!"

"By the way, what's the matter with the stone wall that suddenly rose in the enemy's camp before?!Could it be that the enemy has already buried a large magic array?!" Thinking of the scene he saw from afar just now, Gagawan still couldn't help but feel a thrill!

"Probably not. After a moment of silence, Michio continued, "There are people in the Knights who have special skills and specialize in detecting the existence of large magic arrays, if it is a magic array embedded in the barracks in advance, it is impossible for the Knights to plunge into it like that."

"Then the stone walls I saw just now can't be fake, right?!" Gavin said, wrinkling his eyebrows.

Michio was slightly silent again before he spoke: "Your Highness also fought with those Red Demon warriors not long ago-"

Hearing this, Gavin's eyebrows tightened even tighter, for Michio's reminder reminded him of his recent fiasco at the foot of the Eagle's Nest, and of a bastard who had finally 'fisherman's gain' and made him grit his teeth a little bit!

Michio didn't seem to notice Gagawan's suddenly gloomy face, and continued: "So it should be clear that those weird Red Demon Warriors are a bit similar to battle mages, and while mastering combat skills, they can also use magic crudely! Techniques such as 'Earth Thorn Technique', which makes the ground beneath your feet bulge, and finally through some special means, the rudimentary stone wall is created!"

"This tactic is uncommon, as it requires a large number of combatants with the ability to cast spells in the first place, and the enemy fits this very well! In this era, only the Grey Guardians of the Karachi Empire have used similar tactics. ”

After listening to Michio's inference, combined with his own judgment, Gagawan instantly agreed with the other party's statement, and suddenly realized that he couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Damn, it seems that my father has suffered a ill-considered loss this time! If it is a fair battle, even if the number of enemies is twice that of the Knights, my father will definitely win!"

"It's not that simple. At this time, Michio shook his head again.

"What do you say, Uncle Dolph?" Gagavin didn't dare to underestimate the eyes of a paladin!

"The stone walls that appeared in front of the Knights, that is not difficult to explain, but as you saw just now, the Knights were completely surrounded by stone walls, and there were no enemies left behind the Knights at that time!" said Michio in a slightly cold tone.

"You mean that those enemies who died at the hands of the Knights are most likely to have been killed before they died?!" Gagavin suddenly glared at Dolph in disbelief.

"That's right, I'm afraid that's how it should be, otherwise those stone walls that appear in the rear can't be explained at all!" Michifu nodded slightly.

"Shhhh

"I don't know. After a pause, Michio suddenly said in an inexplicable tone, "In terms of the large-scale battles that the Red Demon Empire has experienced so far after the rise, they are definitely enough to be called crazy!"

The word 'crazy' in Dolph's words made Gagavin's mind involuntarily appear in his mind the fiery clouds that rushed into the sky, the earth and rocks that flew everywhere because of the huge explosion - explosions, crazy explosions, the Red Demon Empire rose all the way with the arcane explosion!

"Your Highness, because of the defeat of the Knights, now that the enemy is afraid that they have obtained a sufficient number of Death Charge War Horses, it is estimated that they will soon attack the city!, so I hope to be able to escort His Highness away as soon as possible. Michio said suddenly.

Hearing this, Gagawan nodded, he was naturally relieved to have such a paladin escorting him. Immediately, Gagawan raised his eyebrows and said, "What about these defenders in the city? There are still about 10,000 defenders in the city, don't these people care?!"

Gavin's question made Dolph slightly silent, and said, "They will enter the Hocker Mountains through the Weeping Wall, and whether they can escape from the enemy in the end depends on their own luck." ”

Gagawan didn't have much to say about this arrangement, in fact, he didn't care much about the life or death of these defenders, he just mentioned it in passing, hoping to make a good impression on Michio. Suddenly, Gavin said with an urgent expression: "What about my mother?

"As for Madame Maria," you can hear, Michio's tone has noticeably darkened, "Your Highness, you also know that she is not in the city now, and in fact I don't know where Madame she is now, but I vaguely know that she was on the edge of the southern wilderness not long ago. Later, I will send the most elite warriors to find it, and the lady herself is not weak, I believe she should not have a problem. ”

Gagawa's statement was far from satisfying Gagawan, but now he had no better solution, so he could only nod with a gloomy face.

After a slight silence, Gavin suddenly said, "Uncle Dolph, can we stay for another hour or two before leaving?" ”

Michio didn't ask Gagawan what else he was going to do at such an urgent moment, but just nodded slightly: "I hope Your Highness won't delay it too long." ”

"I know. With Michio's permission, Gavin couldn't help but smile, and a flicker of madness flashed in his eyes.
