Volume II: The Call of Fate Chapter 31: Deliberation

The female knight hesitated, then nodded.

"You are a ninth-level powerhouse, and you will all be injured, could it be that among the group of undead who attacked you, there are also ninth-level undead powerhouses?"

The female knight keenly grasped the point from the sharp blade's words, stared sharply at the sharp blade, and asked, "How do you know that the undead who attacked me are not one, but a gang?"

"Because I'm here for the undead, too!" said the blade, word for word.

The common enemy leads the two to find a topic, and through a conversation with the female knight, Blade figures out why the female knight appeared alone in the orc kingdom as a human.

The female knight is a native of Byzantium, and because her fighting spirit is the bright fighting spirit founded by the Holy See, the largest religion in the human world, the Holy Catholic Church, she once made Blade think that she is a knight of the Holy Catholic Templar Order. In fact, the female knight is not a Templar, but her mentorship is related to the Templar Order, so she will cultivate the light fighting spirit. The female knight is extremely talented, reaching the ninth level at a young age, and her teacher feels that there is nothing to teach, so he assigns her a trial task, as long as she completes this trial task, it means that she is officially a teacher. This trial mission is to kill a necromancer named Ferrune, who has been operating in Byzantium for many years. Ferrun's magic power level is level eight, and against a female knight who has reached level nine in fighting spirit, he is obviously inferior. However, Ferrun was extremely cunning, and escaped from the hands of the female knight several times, and finally fled all the way from the Byzantine Empire to the Beamon Empire. And the female knight also followed Ferrun to the Beamon Empire.

Because in the previous battles, when facing the female knights, Ferrun was like a lost dog, and she was about to collapse at the first touch, so the fledgling female knights gradually became a little lighter.

After entering the Beamon Empire this time, the female knight followed the trail of Ferrun to the Alterac Mountains, and in the western part of the Alterac Mountains, a battle broke out with Ferrun again. Unlike before, when he was forced to fight, this time Ferrun took the initiative to set up an ambush. However, when the female knight was surrounded by the undead, she did not panic at all. Because in the previous battles, the female knight more than once faced a large group of undead alone. Although Ferrun can summon many undead to help him fight, these undead are low-level undead such as zombies and skeletons, and their role is only to drag the female knight and buy Fiennes time to escape.

Unlike in the past, among the undead who ambushed the female knight this time, in addition to Ferrun, a high-level undead of the eighth level, there was also a seventh-level death knight and a seventh-level death war horse also appeared in front of the female knight. This somewhat surprised the female knight, but she didn't take it to heart. For her, as a ninth-level knight, even if there were two more seventh-level high-level undead, it would not pose a threat.

The female knight paid the price for her carelessness.

When Ferrun unleashed undead magic, the death knight charged, and a large group of zombies and skeletons silently poured up, successfully attracting the attention of the female knight, an undead thief of the same level as the female knight came out of the lurking shadows, grabbed a short dagger and stabbed the female knight's heart. The female knight tried her best to dodge, and although she avoided the vital point, she was still hit hard.

The wounded knight fought her way out of the siege, but the red horse she rode was eroded into a skeleton by a mist of acid released by Ferrune, and she escaped alone. Undead thieves and death knights chased her after her, forcing her to jump from a cliff waterfall hundreds of meters high, fall into a snowy river, and drift down until the waves swept her unconscious ashore, where she was found and rescued by the Blade.

And the female knight couldn't help but sneer after knowing that the blade was looking for this group of undead for the werewolf traditional coming-of-age ceremony: "Now there are not only seventh-level death knights and death warhorses, but also eighth-level necromancers and ninth-level undead thieves, even I can only retreat, I think you still don't need to hold this coming-of-age ceremony, go home as soon as possible!"

Blade heard the disdain in the female knight's words, but instead of getting angry, he seriously proposed: "Although we orcs and you humans have fought many times, and the relationship is not harmonious. But dark creatures like the undead have always been the common enemies of our two races, so how about we work together to eradicate these undead?"

"Hehehehe, although I was careless, I was injured by that ninth-level thief's sneak attack. But in a head-on battle, I won't be the opponent of their gang, and neither can you, a level 7 warrior!"

"That Death Knight and his mount are handed over to me, what are the odds of you facing that undead thief and that necromancer alone!"

"Less than half!"

"Then if I take out the Death Knight and the Death Horse in a short period of time, and then come over to help you, what do you think are the chances of winning?"

The female knight didn't answer the blade immediately this time, but stared at him for a while before slowly asking, "Can you defeat the death knight and his mount?"

"Not bad!" Blade nodded.

The female knight was a little unconvinced, and said: "Although that person and horse are only level seven, the combat power of the combination of man and horse is comparable to the peak of level seven! Even if your strength far exceeds that of ordinary level seven warriors, it is impossible to win soon if you can fight with a warrior at the peak of level seven!"

"I've awakened the madness talent of the orcs, and I can increase my combat power by one level in half an hour!"

The female knight was stunned when she heard this, she knew that the orcs who could awaken the talent of madness were one in a million, but she didn't expect that the young man in front of her was actually one of them.

"If you can quickly kill the Death Knight, and then attack Ferrun and hold him down, I will only face that undead thief, and the chance of winning should be fifty percent!" the female knight muttered, "Besides, if I have the weapons at my disposal, the odds of winning can be even higher!"

"The weapon you have in your hand, do you mean the sword?

"Well, my saber must have fallen to the bottom of the river. However, the weapon I am talking about does not mean the sword, in fact, I am not good at sword, the weapon I am good at is the gun! This time I thought it would be very easy to hunt down Ferrune, so I didn't bring my usual war spear with me, just an ordinary long sword. ”

After hearing what the female knight had said, Blade shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression. He had a spare weapon in his pouch, but it was a bow and arrow, not a spear.

"Shall we cooperate, then?" asked Blade, chasing.

After thinking for a moment, the female knight made up her mind: "We can cooperate!"

"Okay!" Seeing that the female knight agreed to cooperate, Blade was overjoyed, but then frowned slightly and said, "Your injuries...... ,”

Before the blade finished speaking, the female knight interrupted him and said, "You don't have to worry about the injury, I have a high-level healing scroll on my body, but it doesn't have an instant recovery effect, otherwise I would have used it in the previous battle with the undead." Give me three days and my injuries will heal!"

When Blade heard that the female knight would be able to completely heal her injuries in three days, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

"What's your name?" asked the knight suddenly.

Now that the two have become partners, of course they should also exchange names. However, being the son of an orc overseer, not an ordinary orc, keeps Blade on guard. Although she is now cooperating with a female knight, she is a human after all, and she is already a ninth-level powerhouse at the age of seventeen. Although Blade had never heard of such a young ninth-level powerhouse in Byzantium, from previous conversations, he could already guess that the female knight's reputation was still not obvious because she had not yet been released. With her age and strength, once she is officially released, she will definitely shake the Byzantine Empire, and the probability of her advancing to the Holy Rank is extremely high, and she will definitely have a place in the upper echelons of the Byzantine Empire in the future. The Beamon Empire and the Byzantine Empire have long been hostile in history, and it is uncertain when war will break out, so Blade has no intention of telling the female knight her real name.

"My name is Shatterclaw, Iron Mane!" said Blade's face without blushing, and his heart did not beat. He gave a fake name to the female knight, but the surname was not fake, anyway, among the more than 50,000 werewolves in the Ironmane Clan, almost half of the werewolves had this surname, and he didn't want the female knight to guess his true identity from the surname.

"What's your name?" Blade asked rhetorically.

"Linda Garcia!" said the knight with a twinkle in her eyes.

The female knight's expression was looked at by the blade, suspecting that she was also a pseudonym, but it didn't matter to the blade. After the two reached a cooperation, the relationship between them eased a lot. By this time, the salmon that the blade had grilled on the fire had already been charred, and he diligently replaced it with a salmon rack and roasted it on the fire. Once the fish is cooked, Blade and Linda discuss how to work together in the battle against the undead as they eat the grilled fish.

Before you know it, the salmon that Blade had caught before were roasted and eaten one after another, and the two reached an agreement on how to work together. After eating the grilled fish, Linda gently patted her slightly bulging belly, and praised the barbecue skills of the blade, bluntly subverting her stereotype of orcs in cooking.

Linda's compliment made Blade a little proud. He explained to Linda: "The racial composition of the orcs is not as homogeneous as that of you humans, although most of the orc races are very rough in the preparation of food, and even eat raw flesh and blood, but there are also a few orc races that are good at cooking food, such as the Peacock of the Pifao and the panda of the Panda tribe!"

"And what about you werewolves?" Linda seemed to be in a good mood, and knowingly made a sharp joke.

"Due to the werewolf tradition, even I don't reject eating blood raw. But once in a while, I treat myself to cooking a good meal!" replied tactfully.

"You can't make this cooking skill yourself, do you?"

"No, I learned it from a panda man, who used to be an imperial chef at the Beamon Palace!"

Linda sighed, didn't ask any more, but took out a small and delicate magic scroll from the space ring, and said to herself: "Since I am also full, I should hurry up and heal!" After speaking, she glanced at the sharp blade and said to him: "Broken Claw, I will tell you the location where Ferrun ambushed me, and you search in that direction to see if you can find the location of those undead." As long as we determine their whereabouts, I'll do it when I'm healed!"
