Chapter 233: A Doomed War
A week later.
Late at night.
Yangxi City Steam Train Station.
Lan Luo, as the chief knight of the Bright Sect in Yang Xicheng, received secret information as early as last night. The message was sealed in a snow-white envelope, so delicate that it didn't look like a piece of information, and what was used to seal it was the sacred ambassador's seal, which represented the top execution power of the Holy See of Light.
Compared with its ornate appearance, the content of the letter is unusually simple and even somewhat ambiguous, and the first sentence of the letter is - the curtain is coming.
Lang Locke didn't quite understand the meaning of these four beautiful big flowers.
Below this line is the time and place, and the specific content of the mission is to have Langlock meet an important person.
Regarding this character, only the important word is used to summarize, and there are no details, Ranlock only knows when he will come here to pick up people, and he doesn't know anything else.
Langlock was a little surprised, what kind of person was so valued by the church's higher-ups, and the information was so mysterious, and he also named the chief knight to greet him. Although Yangxi City is a place, the chief knight of the place is also the chief knight.
It's almost midnight, and in the past, there would never be any more steam trains at this time. And today is a very evil day, Yangxi City entered the curfew early, and it is a state of absolute martial law. You must know that in the past week, the Dark Blood has not made any major moves, and the war has not started.
The moonlight in the territory of the Moon Empire has always been grand, the polished tracks glow with a silver luster, staggered and spreading, dormant in the city after the curfew of the Dark Zheng, people fell asleep early, all silent, no one around, lonely and empty, but the signal light on the platform is still on, and the transfer room not far away is still lit by the white light directly functioned by the magic energy tower.
It seems that the steam technicians are also working overtime, which makes sense to wait in the long night.
Langlock looked at the time on the mechanical watch, he was very professional, dressed formally and stood straight.
"Is it almost there?" asked Vera softly. Vera, who was also a high-ranking member of the Bright Holy See in Yang Xicheng, was much more comfortable, and this pale blonde haired girl, although she was also dressed in formal attire, was obviously not as professional as Lanlock. She gently hammered her thigh, wrapped in black socks, and stood up from the seat next to the platform.
She leaned over to Lan Luo's side and took care of her clothes meticulously, so that people thought that she was also waiting for a long time.
"Hmm. Lan Rock replied softly. He didn't have much to do with Vera's behavior, the two were colleagues and friends, and he didn't have the habit of chewing his tongue as a big man.
The sound came from far and near, it was the whistle of a rapidly approaching steam train, and the ground shook slightly, and the train must have been very heavy, and it must have been very fast.
The light of the copper headlights pierced through the night, and the train like a huge steel black snake rushed into the station, and the whistle was melodious, but the steam technician turned on the alchemy instrument that blocked the sound at the station, so it would not alarm anyone, and the dense white energy steam instantly swept the platform, and after coming into contact with the cold air, it was like a drizzle.
The heavy black door of the head carriage opened, and the first to come down was a man in a black dress, his face was feminine and handsome, he looked elegant with mechanical monocles, he held a black umbrella in his hand, and maintained a polite posture after landing, holding the umbrella for the one who was about to appear.
It was a blonde female knight, her silver-white gilt armor looked extremely dazzling in the dark night, and a heavy sword at her waist, a character of this level would definitely not be a series that could not afford to use space containers, she could only be a little clear when she dressed like this, this female knight was already used to military uniforms, and she was already used to fighting.
The female knight had her long golden hair in a bun, and she had a murderous aura on her body, which must have been raised with blood. Her face was beautiful and resolute, but there was a forked scar under her left eye, so the heroism was still there, but the beauty was ruined. She herself didn't seem to care about this, because this scar could be covered up with makeup, but she didn't have a frozen face, and her big eyes were precipitated with all the pride.
Lan Luo and Vera immediately saluted respectfully, not long ago, both of them broke through to the strength of the 4th order, they were both less than thirty years old, this achievement, looking at the entire empire, they are all very good talents, maybe in a few years, the two of them will fall to the imperial capital Star Moon City, the future is limitless.
The two people who could get off the train did not release any momentum, but Ranlock and Vera just felt an invisible oppression. That's a sign of being on top for a long time.
Langlock and Vera are still young, but the two big names look young too.
"Hmm. Not bad. Although you have little power, at least you are not like the corrupt clergy of other cities, disgusting to look at, you can barely be called a fighting knight. The female knight glanced at Lan Rock lightly and commented.
Vera is a magician, and it seems that this knight has no interest in evaluation.
The feminine and handsome man put away the black umbrella, the aura on his body was much softer, and he leaned over to Lan Lock and said with a smile: "You can get such an evaluation as the chief knight of the Glorious Knights, you are one in a million." ”
"Glorious Knights......" Lan Lock's heart immediately set off a stormy wave. He has joined the Holy Alliance since he was a child, so he naturally knows what this organization represents, and those who can enter this organization are the strongest knights of the Holy See of Light, and the chief knight in front of him undoubtedly represents the peak of the combat power of the church knights on the entire continent.
This is a legendary character, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a living knight king, such a character would come to a place like Yangxi City, which Lan Luo never expected, and at the same time, the chief knight of the Glorious Knights was a woman, which he did not expect.
"Hello, my name is Alva, and I am one of the best steam alchemists in the church. Alva was clearly not interested in Ranlock, and soon he came to Vera's side, took off his white gloves and extended a calloused hand, introducing himself.
"I'm Vera. Vera smiled and shook Alva's hand politely.
Alva was about to continue the in-depth communication with Vera, when he suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and he felt bad and immediately restrained his expression.
"With four hours to go, I hope you'll be able to complete the wheel modification of the Abyss Serpent, and we'll be rushing across the city straight to the battlefield before dawn. The female knight was still frozen and unhurried, and no one seemed to be able to detect her true emotions.
"Yes. Sir. Alva immediately put away his giggles, and after a standard knightly salute, he immediately changed into his overalls and replaced his monocle with steam goggles.
Alva took out a toolbox larger than the others from the spatial ring, and he effortlessly dragged the box and rushed off the platform to modify the rollers of the steam locomotive, looking like an obedient Shiba Inu.
"War?" Langlock muttered to himself, a little puzzled.
"Yes. Just before dawn, the Darkblood will launch a general attack, and the purpose of my special cluster is to support the battlefield, and I need to win a war that is doomed to failure. The proud female knight actually explained.
