You said...... What the? ”

At the moment when the herald said the order, everyone present froze, and under General Qin's pitch-black helmet, an angry voice slowly floated out:

"If we retreat, who else will be able to stop this monster?"

"It's the lord's order." The herald shouted.

"There's no way the lord could give such an order!" Silverfrost's voice trembled: "Is he going to abandon this city......"

"We will not evacuate this place until all the residents have gone to evacuate." General Qin's attitude was very tough: "Even if you disobey the order, the army must protect the citizens!" ”

"But ......"

Just as the herald was about to speak, another herald arrived, and once again conveyed a new message from the lord's side to the generals present:

"The lord has sent his private army to kill the monster, please leave immediately, otherwise you may be injured by mistake."

"Look down on us......" Silverfrost gritted her teeth in resentment.

However, when she saw the soldiers who arrived next, the anger that had surged in her had also turned into complete consternation:

"What kind of 'person' is that?"

The more than a dozen cavalrymen who appeared in sight seemed to be made of bones, and the eyes of the dark red helmets seemed to be lit with blue flames.

Despite their heavy armor, their horses were conspicuous with only their bones, and all of them were silent, but even if they didn't speak, they still exuded a breathtaking horror.

"Is this the Death Knight?"

The well-informed General Qin recognized the identity of the other party. But even if he racked his brains, he couldn't imagine when the lord had formed such a "private army".

"Death Knight......" Silverfrost muttered the name.

"Yes, it is said that in the distant frozen land, there was a king who ruled over the realm of the dead, and his army was made up entirely of the resurrected dead. And the Death Knight is the elite of them. General Qin said with emotion: "I didn't expect to really see this kind of army in my lifetime." ”

Realizing that the lord had really sent soldiers beyond common sense, General Qin finally accepted the retreat order and began to lead the soldiers present to retreat.

Then, the dead from the Scourge Legion officially took over the battlefield.

The Death Knights stretched out their bone claws wrapped in iron gloves and pulled runic swords out of their scabbards, as if they were blades forged from ice, with runes that glowed blue light.

One of the Death Knights at the front jumped off his horse, his weapon was a crimson axe, and the armor on his body was thicker than the other Death Knights.

Facing the "Sand King" who reappeared in the sandstorm, the death knight armed with a giant axe walked directly into the sand, and dark red blood light rose from his body.

If his companions control the frost, then he controls the blood, and although the power of the blood can also be used in battle, it ......

Syllable!

The giant spikes of the poisonous scorpion were blocked by the giant axe in the hands of the death knight, and the powerful impact brought out instantly shattered all the bones in his arm, but those bones that were shattered into powder were quickly reshaped under the power of blood.

There was another loud bang, and the Blood Knight's body was knocked away by the giant pincers, and he flew backwards ten meters away and fell to the ground, but he quickly stood up like a nobody, and once again smashed into the sandstorm.

The Death Knights, who were once defeated by humans, have also learned the adventurers' fighting methods in the long-term struggle with adventurers: this Blood Knight is the meat shield used to attract the attention of the enemy, and when he completely pulls the hatred of the Sand King, the Frost Knights behind will rush up and launch a crazy attack on the enemy!

The giant pincers, covered in an earthy yellow shell, burst out of the sandstorm and slammed into the Blood Knight.

Then, more than a dozen death knights with rune swords in their hands also quickly entered the sandstorm.

“……”

After the large army evacuated with the wounded and corpses, General Qin and Yinshuang remained not far away, staring at the battle scene on the street.

Although the Sandstorm blocked their view, the two of them could still see that the Death Knights had no casualties at all, successfully blocking the Sand King's progress, and seemed to have caused damage to the Sand King.

The occasional spurt of blood from the sandstorm didn't look like it came from the Death Knights. The two generals present knew very well that if this situation continued, the sand king would only end up dead!

"The lord would have such an army." General Qin sighed: "If you send them out, whether it is Battle Scar City or Barren Sand City, they will be conquered very quickly." ”

"Young master, he ...... What else is hidden? ”

Silverfrost's eyes stared at the sandstorm, looking at the blurred black shadow that was shaking in it, "I don't want to train with the dead......"

"Don't think too much, Silverfrost." General Qin shook his head: "I think these death knights are just worthless pawns for the young master, and he may have other killer weapons hidden in his hands." ”

"I used to think that the young master was a fool, but now it seems that he is really wrong......" Yinshuang looked down at the wound on his leg: "Maybe the young master was just busy with other things at that time, and he didn't show his true strength until recently." ”

Bang!

With an earth-shattering loud noise, the sandstorm on the street suddenly dissipated.

The earthy-yellow shelled giant scorpion fell, and the Death Knights put away their rune swords and turned back to the skeleton horses that had been standing not far away.

After the kill, they still didn't make a sound, they didn't make any celebratory gestures, they just turned on their horses and turned away, like cold machines without emotion.

"A monster that hundreds of us can't handle, it's so ......"

Before Yinshuang's words fell, he heard a crisp children's voice behind him:

"Don't be discouraged, you're doing well."

She and General Qin turned around at the same time, just in front of the young master's delicate face. Seeing that the person he was talking about just now had arrived, and was about to say something, he was directly choked back by Yinshuang.

"You're here, young master." General Qin leaned over and bowed.

"Well, I'm here to collect the loot." Lin Chi smiled, and with a few guards around him, they walked towards the corpse of the scorpion on the street in front of him.

Although he didn't kill it himself, the loot that should have been dropped will still be dropped. Lin Chi came to the side of the corpse of the Sand King, looked at the giant scorpion that was five meters long, and reached out to grope in the pool of blood under the corpse.

"Lord, leave this kind of work to us." Shen Wenchong hurriedly stepped forward.

"It's okay, I prefer to do it myself." Lin Chi said with a smile.

After defeating the boss, the "opening equipment link" is, of course, more accomplishing by doing it yourself. Lin Chi searched for it, cut off the spike on the tail of the Sand King with the dark sword, and took the stinger in his hand, and the item brief appeared in front of him:

King of the Desert's Poison Needle:

Materials, consumables.

Item Class: Epic.

The stinger can be used as a weapon material, or to refine toxins from it.

"It is said that there was once a strange collector who kept a xenomorph creature called 'Sand King' in captivity at home, and when the police arrived, they only found a pool of blood from him."

In order to avoid poisoning, Lin Chi immediately stuffed the stinger into his backpack and pried off a sturdy carapace from the corpse of the Sand King.

Desert King's Carapace:

Material.

Item Class: Fine.

Can be used to craft shields or armor.

"It's harder than you think."

Seeing the young lord skillfully stripping materials from the monster corpse, the guards and generals present were silent for a while.

Since he didn't know if the monster still had toxins flowing in its body, Lin Chi gave up his plan to continue digging up the internal organs. But before leaving, there's another loot:

He took out the bony "cage" from his backpack, and under the gaze of everyone, he lifted the soul cage, which was only the size of a palm, and shook it next to the corpse of the Sand King.

In the center of the oval cage, a red flame floats in it, but it does not carry any temperature, as if it is a ghostly fire.

"Is this some kind of ritual?"

Yinshuang, who had never seen this kind of posture, was still wondering, but saw a gray mist drifting into the cage in the young master's hand. At the same time, the body of the Sand King began to decay rapidly, turning into drifting white dust.

"Okay, so you don't have to clean up the corpses." Lin Chi said and put the soul cage in his backpack, and nodded contentedly: "Go back." ”

The soul cage he received from the city of Sodom could be used to imprison the soul of a deceased. Ordinary warrior souls, even if imprisoned, are not of much use, but the soul of a monster like the "Sand King" is different.

If the soul of the Sand King is unleashed, it may be possible to create the effect of a weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield. There is a limit to the flesh and blood of human beings, and no matter how tough a guy is, he can't stop the blow of the Sand King's soul!

After looting the booty, Lin Chi sent a herald and ordered the master engineer to send workers over to repair the damaged roads and houses. Then he gave a new order:

A red-armored herald hurriedly walked into the camp of the lord's guard and knocked on the wooden door of the second-floor room.

"I'm here to deliver the lord's orders."

"Come in." A weak male voice rang out in the room.

The herald walked into the sparsely decorated office, meeting the eyes of a certain "mummy".

Ren You sat on a brown wooden chair, still with a lot of bandages wrapped around his body, and his body, which was violently beaten by General Qin a few days ago, obviously had to wait a while longer to recover.

"Your Lord orders you to find the Brotherhood Assassins who have infiltrated the city, and if you can, get rid of them." The herald gave accurate instructions, and then turned to leave.

"Hah...... Burst. ”

As soon as Ren You laughed, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he quickly picked up the strip of cloth on the wooden table and wiped his mouth, but his eyes were curved into a crescent shape.

"It should be Nightshade's bastard who revealed the information...... But that's okay anymore. ”

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ren You stood up slowly, walked to the wooden wall of the room, and skillfully removed a wooden plank.

At the time of his "youthful frivolity", he was indeed a member of the legendary Brotherhood, an organization of assassins. Although he had long since washed his hands and become the bodyguard of the Flame Wind Lord, some things that had long been habitual still remained in this body.

From the camera obscura, he took out a slender blade and tied it to his forearm with the black leather strap that came with the blade.

This retractable weapon, known as the Hidden Blade, was a favorite of the Brotherhood Assassins. However, unlike other Assassins, Ren You did not mount the Hidden Blade in the palm of his hand, but on the back of his hand:

Once upon a time, Brotherhood Assassins had to cut off their ring fingers before using their Hidden Blades. However, according to Ren You's research, the most primitive hidden blade should be mounted on the back of the hand, and those fools just pretended to be in the opposite position, which caused the tragedy of forced finger amputation......

Ren You's habitual way of using it is to put the Hidden Blade in the direction of the back of his hand, which is not only safer, but also more convenient and faster in battle.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this type of installation. When performing assassination missions, the Hidden Blade mounted on the back of the hand is more likely to be detected by the enemy.

However, for Ren You, this kind of thing is completely irrelevant.

"It's time to go."

Ren You took out a few more small bottles, as well as some other props, and stuffed those things into his coat pocket. Then he put on a gray coat and left his office.

Seeing that he was about to leave, several members of the guard who were resting in the hall immediately asked, "Where are you going?" Your injuries are not healed. ”

"I have some personal matters to deal with, you remember to change shifts, and there must be at least ten people on the lord's side to protect me." Ren You reminded.

"Yes, I wish you a smooth journey." Looking at the bandages and bruises on the Guard Commander's body, the expressions of the members of the Guard were a little worried.

Ren You slowly walked out of the main gate of the guard camp, and an eerie voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"You're finally out of the mountain again."

"I knew it was you." Ren You looked back at the black-clothed "ninja" leaning against the wall.

"Please be considerate, I just want to see how members of the Brotherhood are searched and assassinated." Nightshade chuckled, "Based on the information I've gotten, you're not an ordinary assassin, are you?" ”

"Look at the way I look now, what kind of assassination are you doing?" Ren You sighed: "I'd better leave this dirty work to you young people, I'm already tired." ”

Hearing this, Nightshade couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Everyone understands people, so don't continue to pretend in front of me."

“……”

Staring at the man in black beside him, Ren You lowered his head and turned around and walked towards the alley across the street.

"Need my help?" Nightshade asked with a smile.

"No, I don't."

The "old assassin" in the gray coat did not look back, and his voice suddenly deepened:

"Next time...... If you leak my information again, your head will appear on the throne of the Flamewind Palace. ”
