Chapter 2134: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (66)

At the same time, on the other side of the secret base in the deep sea, King Arthur and Merlin are on the other side.

"Quiet. * Quiet. The Knight King whispered alertly as he stalked, "It's like a pre-set trap. ＂

"Your Majesty, you're thinking too much, maybe the enemy didn't expect us to come back at all, and it's a secret base hidden in the deep sea, so their garrison is already lax?" Merlin replied, in fact, he and King Arthur had similar thoughts, but he just didn't want to see the Knight King's nervous appearance, so he deliberately persuaded him like this.

"If it's true, it would be great. The Knight King didn't listen to Prime Minister Merlin at all, and since just now he has been moving in the shadows while keeping his guard, and the dragon dagger in his hand has never left his right palm. If it was to prevent sneak attacks more effectively, it would have been better for him to hold the Sword of the Holy King in his hand. However, the light emitted by the holy sword will illuminate the darkness, which is not conducive to their stealth, and the enchantment of the dragon dagger itself does not shine very well, and a casual layer of cloth can completely eliminate its light, so it will become the weapon of choice for infiltration.

"Vivien is also a bad heart, she never told us about her plans before, and she had to wait for the forged [Explorer] to be stolen before she came to tell us about it. King Arthur continued down the deep corridor, muttering grumblingly, "Thanks to her, our plans are all in ruins." Now I have to hurry to clean up this mess. ＂

But she succeeded in finding out the enemy's secret base, which is still worth commending. Merlin replied.

"I hope so. The Knight King snorted, "Maybe the enemy has already seen through her plan, and instead has set a trap to lure us over?"

Merlin didn't speak. Normally, no matter how stupid the enemy is, he will not provoke the almost invincible King Arthur head-on. If the current Knight King is real, all the enemies in this base will not be enough to make the King tired and breathe. And it wasn't just King Arthur who came, but Merlin and Vivien followed, not to mention that Palamides. This staffing is more than enough to destroy this secret base in the sea. Unless ------ no, there is nothing [unless], even if there are ten thousand other circumstances, even if this is a trap set by the enemy, it is impossible to threaten the safety of the knight king.

So what the hell is going on, this inexplicable uneasiness in his heart? When performing a "mission that will never fail", Merlin's intuition tells him that "something is wrong"? This is something that makes no logical sense, so Merlin does not delve too deeply. He was originally a person who was logical in everything and only looked at arguments, and things that were not logical and intuitive could not impress him.

At this time, three figures had faintly appeared in the corridor in front of them. Arthur and the others were hiding in the shadows and wearing a black tights that were convenient for stealth, of course, to discover their opponent's whereabouts before the opponent. But the three guards, apparently from the Order of Dusk, were also walking towards this side of the hallway, presumably patrolling. If they continued on their way, it would only be a matter of time before King Arthur and Prime Minister Merlin were discovered. The vents next to them are too narrow, not to mention how much movement it would be to rush into the vents at this time, it would be unrealistic for an adult of Arthur's stature to want to retract into a vent of that size to hide.

Theoretically, the only way to do this is to rush over and kill the three guards before the opponent even notices it. This is the only way to prevent the entire base from sounding the alarm. The Knight King clenched the dragon dagger in his hand and waited for an opportunity to act.

The opponent is getting closer. Although the men were all stupidly equipped, wearing loose robes, masked triangular hats that obscured most of their vision, and holding ceremonial spears that were inconvenient for battle, there were three of them, and it was not a good thing for any one of them to escape and sound the alarm. King Arthur was extremely fast, and his swordsmanship was also extremely proficient, and he was able to quickly strike at the vital points of his opponent in a very short time, killing people. But after all, there are three people on the other side, can he really solve these three people in an instant without making any movement?

"Your Majesty, do you want me to use the shady enchantment?" Merlin asked the Knight King with a telepathic technique.

"The shady barrier can keep the screams of the people inside from spreading. But will it stop the people inside from escaping?" the Knight King asked.

"No, you can't. It was just an enchantment enclosed by a thin force field, and if the people inside really wanted to escape, they could force themselves out. ＂

"Then you won't be allowed. I should say don't use magic. The Knight King said in a veto. They are in enemy territory, and they appear to be caught in a trap, and it is unknown what surveillance facilities are still in the enemy's base. Maybe there's a device that detects magic and sounds the alarm once Merlin uses magic?

King Arthur decided to do something on his own, and while it seemed a bit reluctant, he didn't think it was completely impossible.

The three guards were getting closer and closer, and the Knight King Merlin was huddled in the darkest part of the corner, ready to surprise at any moment. Arthur unsealed the dragon dagger in his hand, and after removing the wrapped fabric, it emitted a faint red light, but Arthur hid the dagger behind him, half-squatting and half-kneeling in place, and the light of the dagger was just obscured by Arthur's figure, not appearing in the enemy's field of vision.

That's how I waited all the time. Twenty yards, fifteen yards, ten yards, five yards. The enemy had gotten close enough, but the tricorneways they wore to limit their vision had instead helped King Arthur and Merlin to hide, and the guards of the Order, who were almost blind, had not seen King Arthur and Merlin from this distance.

Less than five yards. The guards in the lead had just taken a step when there was a thud, and suddenly something sounded behind them.

"Who?!" The guards, though blind, had sensitive ears in the silence, and as soon as they heard a noise behind them, they immediately turned to look.

Their turn and look contributed to their tragic deaths. Arthur had already scurried behind one of them, and the dagger had pierced the man's heart.

"Click, ahh

The other two guards had turned their heads to look behind them, but they heard a strange noise from their companions in front of them, so they turned their heads to look at their companions again. What they saw was their companion who had fallen forward in a twitch. There was nothing else, as if the guard in the lead had suddenly had a seizure and fell to the ground.

"Hey, how are you ------?," one of the guards called out in surprise, but only halfway through his words, a sharp, warm sensation swept across his neck. The dragon dagger slashed through his throat, making him unable to speak.

"Shi ------?" The last guard didn't even know the situation when he saw two of his companions fall, and he felt that something was wrong, and just as he tried to escape, he had already been stabbed in the back of the neck.

The three guards were all dead in less than a second, and Arthur was like a shadow of death wandering around, flashing left and right, killing the three guards instantly. And the guards who fell to the ground did not bleed as expected, it should be said that their corpses were almost not bleeding, and the dragon dagger instantly released amazing heat when it delivered a fatal blow, scorching the wounds of those guards, and the nearby blood vessels were also blocked due to high heat, and the blood was coagulated, crystallized, and blocked all the originally damaged major arteries, so that these guards died completely without even bleeding.

"Your Majesty is in good shape today. Merlin replied. He looked at the three corpses on the ground, one of which had been pierced in the heart and ruined its robe, another whose head had been pierced and ruined its tricorne, and one who had his throat cut and barely damaged his clothes. This frees up two outfits for King Arthur and Prime Minister Merlin to infiltrate the Order of Dusk. It seems that King Arthur's series of attacks just now were not casually stabbed, he had considered taking advantage of the clothes from the enemy's corpses, so that this series of attacks could be used.

"Merlin, find a way to dispose of these corpses. And King Arthur had already quickly removed the triangular hat from the corpse of one of the guards, "Put on the clothes of these guards, and start diving into battle." ＂

"Do you have to do this?" Merlin sighed, what he feared most had indeed happened, "Your Majesty, infiltrating in such a disguise in the midst of an enemy formation is even more risky than ordinary stealth...... ＂

"What are you worried about?" said King Arthur disapprovingly, "Vivien and Palamides are probably doing the same thing. Let's join them quickly. ＂

"Well, Your Majesty...... Merlin was still a little reluctant, but he really didn't have a better way to sneak in, so he could only agree. After all, it is very unrealistic to go deep into this base without using magic and only relying on stealth.

The two worked together to hide the corpses of the guards, and then disguised themselves as guards of the Dusk Order with the clothes they had obtained. At the same time, a watch-like piece of equipment in their hands made a muffled beeping sound, and a small display on it pointed the way.

"I guess we want to meet somewhere for a meeting, right?" the Knight King analyzed with a sarcastic grin, "There are no alarms in the entire base, which means that the actions of Palamides and Vivien have not yet been revealed. The alarm did not go off in the middle of the night but suddenly called in the personnel, and this group of twilight cultists was afraid that they did not plan to carry out any action. ＂

"Pathetic. Their actions were doomed to failure before they had even begun. Merlin put on his triangular hat and sneered.
