"It's the Royal Knights!" York on the side looked rare solemn, looked at the soldiers gathered in front of him, and said to Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Xiaoyun was slightly stunned, he had heard of the name of the [Royal Knights], and before the game was launched, Lu Xiaoyun carefully studied the background story of this game world for a long time.

The so-called [Royal Knights] is the sharpest blade in the hands of the Imperial Royal, and it is a legendary force that has made a name for itself on the battlefield of countless corpses and mountains of blood!! Their record can be said to be endless for three days and three nights.

In the introduction of the system, there is a general introduction to the achievements of the [Royal Knights].

In Lu Xiaoyun's memory, the most impressive thing was the annihilation battle of the [Royal Knights] against the [Second Kingdom Guardian Regiment], the elite force that maintained the kingdom.

Nearly 10,000 elite warriors of the Vichy Kingdom were all martyred in this battle, and under the influence of this, the once prosperous Sustaining Kingdom almost collapsed and became a fish on the chopping block of the empire.

"Royal Knights~~! Why is it here? Lu Xiaoyun asked York on the side with some confusion.

According to Lu Xiaoyun's understanding, every member of the Royal Knights is composed of nobles who own territories, and in non-war times, they all live in their own territories like ordinary nobles. But once summoned by the Imperial Family, they will put on armor, mount warhorses, and form an invincible order of knights to crush their enemies.

Generally speaking, the regular troops maintained by the [Royal Knights] are only more than a thousand people. Only under special circumstances, that is, before a large-scale war, will the [Royal Knights] gather the members of the Knights scattered all over the place to form an elite army.

The members of the Royal Knights in front of him were densely packed, although it was impossible to confirm how many there were, but Lu Xiaoyun could be sure that there were at least more than 1,000 people.

That is, there is war.

Lu Xiaoyun frowned slightly, according to the setting of the game background, there are four countries in this world, one of them is the empire where Lu Xiaoyun is located, and the other three are much smaller kingdoms, the strength of the empire is far greater than the sum of the strength of the other three kingdoms, in such a world, which kingdom is not open-eyed, and will launch a war that requires the [Royal Knights]?

"The man-devouring beast has awakened~~! War~... The war has begun, and I can hear the wailing of the undead......" York made a strange gesture, covering his right eye with one hand, looking at the army in front of him.

The formation of the knights in front of him suddenly changed, from a formation formation to a charging formation, and only then did Lu Xiaoyun see that all the soldiers were gathered at the door of a luxurious mansion.

The door to the mansion opened, and an elderly blond man wearing a special military uniform and a delicate one-handed sword pinned to his waist slowly stepped out of it.

"Salute!"

With a shout from the standard-bearer, all the knights made a gesture with their hands crossed to the sky, which was the military salute of the Empire.

To be honest, Lu Xiaoyun felt that this military salute was a little strange, and he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to comment on it.

The level of this blonde old man is beyond the level system of this world that Lu Xiaoyun has learned about according to the system, and Lu Xiaoyun, who has observed the old man through the system, found that under the avatar frame displayed by the system, the level of the old man in front of him is a golden skull that Lu Xiaoyun has never heard of.

Although he didn't know the level this represented, Lu Xiaoyun understood that at least, it was much more terrifying than the red skull, which was probably the level unique to the big people in this world!!

The old man seemed to feel something, and glanced at Lu Xiaoyun. At this glance, it was clear that the old man's eyes were very gentle, even with a hint of a smile, but Lu Xiaoyun was like falling into an ice cellar, as if he was being targeted by a giant beast from the ancient wilderness, and the terrifying pressure was surging like a tide.

Fortunately, the old man seemed to see York beside Lu Xiaoyun, showed a look of surprise, and looked away.

Lu Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, just now, Lu Xiaoyun felt an experience that he had never experienced in his life, like the pressure of substance, which was too terrifying.

Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were a little scattered, he didn't dare to look directly at the old man in front of him!!

"Glory to you and me! Warriors of the Royal Order, win gracefully!! The old man's voice was not loud, but even Lu Xiaoyun, who was far away, could hear it clearly.

Then the old man gracefully stepped into the car that had been prepared, and everyone rode away from here.

Neuropathy!! What the hell is an elegant victory?

Lu Xiaoyun secretly slandered.

"Scared?" York seemed to have noticed Lu Xiaoyun's abnormality, and looked at Lu Xiaoyun with some doubts.

"Do you know the old man just now?" Lu Xiaoyun asked York.

"Oh~~? Don't you know? Also right...... His name is Hood. When York mentioned the old man's name, with respect, she turned to look at Lu Xiaoyun: "Although there are not many people who know him, you must have heard his name!" ”

So sure? Why should I, a player, know the name of an NPC?

“emm......”

However, coincidentally, Lu Xiaoyun really knows this name.

Hood! A living legend in this world, one of the most legendary people in this world! It is the only legend in the game's backstory that mentions his life. He is known as the [Glory of the Imperial Royal] by the people of this world, and is the supreme commander of the [Royal Knights], the invincible god of war of the Empire!!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help but complain even more about the old man's words before.

According to Lu Xiaoyun's understanding, one of the most famous battles of the [Royal Knights], the annihilation battle against the elite troops of the Kingdom [Second Kingdom Escort Regiment], was commanded by Hood, who had just said that he had won the victory elegantly.

More than 10,000 elite troops of the Vichy Kingdom were all wiped out in the [Verdon Grand Canyon]. In this great war that will go down in history, the empire did not even receive a single prisoner of war, more than 10,000 people, and not a single person remained.

That's elegant!

"Whew~!!" Lu Xiaoyun took a deep breath, when he was watching the background story, he looked at it as a story, and he didn't feel anything. It wasn't until he met one NPC after another in this world that he met York, that he really felt that the more than 10,000 people in the story were no longer just cold numbers for him.

"The Royal Knights are actually dispatched, where is the war with?" Lu Xiaoyun asked.

"Iron and Blood Kingdom!" York's expression was gloomy, and he said, "The only thing in this world that is worthy of the [Royal Knights] is the Iron and Blood Kingdom. With the prince who is known as the strongest shield, the iron-blooded kingdom is inherently invincible, which is why he is so unscrupulous! ”

Lu Xiaoyun was slightly stunned, in the background story of the game, the Iron Blood Kingdom is a small country located in the northwest of the empire, although there are frequent conflicts with the empire, but because of the difference in size between the two sides, it is basically based on harassment tactics.

And what York said [the prince who is known as the strongest shield], Lu Xiaoyun has never heard of it.

Before Lu Xiaoyun entered the game, the background story of this game seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of this world.

"Let's go~~! The battlefield of the sea of corpses and blood is not our fate~! ”

York seemed to have known that everything would happen before, without any surprise, this little girl rescued from the kobold cave, her whole body exuded a mysterious aura, she looked back at Lu Xiaoyun, showed a smile, and said, "Look forward to it!" I'm about to arrive at my base~! ”

......

"This is your home?" When Lu Xiaoyun saw the mansion in front of him, he couldn't help but grow his mouth, there were all kinds of luxurious mansions in the aristocratic district, but there were also high and low. The mansions I have seen along the way, and the mansions in front of me can be compared, I am afraid that the only mansion of the old man who led the [Royal Knights] is the mansion.

"Hmph~... Hum~... Hum~~! That's right! This is my stronghold: the only [Dark Castle] in the world! When he was about to get home, York looked much more relaxed, twisted his body into a strange position, and hummed.

The little belly is exposed~~

Lu Xiaoyun quietly looked away~! He looked at the mansion in front of him.

Not to mention, this place is really different from other mansions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique. The mansions in the aristocratic district are basically white and gold, showing a luxurious atmosphere, and the mansion in front of you is dominated by black and red, and the whole castle exudes an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, like standing out from the crowd, which is incompatible with the bright and atmospheric mansions around it.

Why does this castle look so mad, Lu Xiaoyun felt that it was better not to go in.

"Now that you're home, I'll go back!" Lu Xiaoyun said.

“No！ No！ No！ The power has guided us here, this must be the arrangement of fate, come with me to defeat the final boss, the Scarlet Earl! York opened the door of the mansion, apparently to invite Lu Xiaoyun in.

“emm......”

The mansion in front of him was like a huge demon, trying to devour Lu Xiaoyun into his stomach.

Lu Xiaoyun was a little resistant to go in, but the task was not completed yet, looking at York's expectant eyes on the side, Lu Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, it was a bit of a loss to run away like this!

Swallowing his saliva, Lu Xiaoyun and York walked in. No matter how it looks on the outside, this is the mansion of a great nobleman after all, and it must be normal inside.

Although he thought so, Lu Xiaoyun found that the huge mansion was full of fallen leaves, but there was no servant cleaning it, revealing a trace of gloomy atmosphere!

"Aren't there any servants or anything like that?" Lu Xiaoyun asked. Could it be that York's home is some kind of down-and-out aristocrat? It seems to be common to be unable to hire servants and have to sell their property to make ends meet.

"No, the Scarlet Earl hates the living, and all the living who enter his territory will be drained of their blood by him and turned into dried corpses!" York's answer made Lu Xiaoyun's hair stand on end.

"Hah! Ha! Just kidding, right? Lu Xiaoyun snorted, the atmosphere of this mansion is indeed a little weird, but the dignified imperial capital aristocratic area, in broad daylight, sucking blood or something, how is it possible.

"You'll know in a moment~!" With that, York turned his head away.

Looking at the way she looks, it doesn't seem like a joke! Shouldn't I just run!!

Since entering the mansion, the atmosphere around has become more eerie, although there are no demons or monsters in the mansion for the time being, but the black and red hue of the castle in front of me exudes an eerie aura in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Although he wanted to make a mess of things in his heart, he still firmly followed in York's footsteps. What are you kidding, in such a strange place, he didn't dare to leave York half a step at all.
