Xiu felt that he was really unlucky.

The day before, because Otto suddenly went crazy, he didn't sleep well, and tonight because Otto didn't sleep at night, the potential attribute of darkness was stimulated, and he had to take the darkness to a "night run under the moonlight" to vent his excess energy.

Now that he was content to run, he attracted Instructor Gerald to him.

It looks like I'm going on another mission tonight, and I'm the only one who is a student recruit, and the others are all garrisons and instructors...

Is there a God? Can you hear me? Your believers want to sleep.

Cultivating the mind is uncomfortable. But this time I was caught by the chief instructor himself, and I had no way to get out, so I could only grit my teeth!

"Chief Instructor Gerald, if tonight's mission is completed, can I get extra points?" asked Xiu timidly.

"It's hard to make up for it, and you still want to add points?" Gerald gave him a cold look and stopped.

It wasn't because Gerald was ready to scold Xiu that he stopped, but because he had arrived.

At the city gate, more than 20 knights were ready to go. Riding horses, torches in hand, and straight-looking, they lined up in two rows by the gates, waiting for Gerald's arrival.

Gerald walked to the front of the group, and four sword squires in light armor and helmets appeared out of nowhere, one of them holding armor, one holding a knight's sword, one leading a warhorse, and the last one helping to put them on.

After only two minutes of dressing, Gerald put away his knight's sword and turned on his horse.

At this time, a swordsman handed a lit torch to Xiu.

Xiu didn't react for a while.

"Take it!" The swordsman urged

"Give it to me?" Xiu was a little caught off guard.

The swordsman smiled lightly, "Is it for me?" ”

The voice was pleasant and light, like the whisper of a carefree elf in the woods. But that's not the point, it's... No matter how you hear this voice, it's a woman.

Xiu took the torch and looked at the swordsman strangely: "You are... Female? ”

"The Knights are not short of Valkyries, is it strange that I am a woman?" The Swordsman smiled softly.

In the firelight, her skin was still fair. But even whiter is a strand of hair that falls down.

White as snow.

Without waiting for Xiu to say anything more, Gerald's angry voice sounded: "What are you still doing in a daze." Get on the horse and keep up with the queue! You are the last one, and if you fall behind, you will be punished heavily! Ha! ”

He didn't wait for Xiu to react, he shouted directly, and rushed out of the city gate from the road in the team. The knights on the side of the queue did not need any orders, and when Gerald rushed in front of one of the knights, the knight automatically steered his horse and galloped forward after Gerald.

Xiu didn't care about asking anything more, and hurriedly got on the horse to keep up with the team.

From the city walls, it is two straight lines that start from the end and slowly bend with Gerald, and then become two straight lines again after passing through the city gate. The formation of these elite knights, who have been trained for many years, is almost as good as a painting.

This team is so complete that Xiu seems redundant here.

He looks like a small dot behind the two lines.

Thankfully, Dark can keep up with the team. Unfortunately, Xiu couldn't handle this speed. But Dark is indeed a magical good horse, and whenever Xiu wants to sit unsteadily, Dark can always shake his body or jump up slightly by coincidence, just enough for Xiu to fall steadily.

So even if Xiu only used one hand to control the reins along the way, it was considered to be dangerous, and he followed the team all the way for two hours and came to the depths of the black poplar forest.

But the poplar forest is the same both on the periphery and in the depths. There is no difference in either density or luxury

Gerard suddenly ordered a stop, and the knights all came to a screeching stop within five meters. The team was not disordered at all, and the formation was still neat.

Except for Xiu, he was not in the team in the first place.

Xiu gently touched his long dark face. It was panting for breath, a little foaming at the corners of its mouth, and this time it should be tired.

Rao is energetic, but it has used a lot of physical strength in the training ground before, and now after a two-hour long-distance attack, it is secretly a little unable to hold on.

Fortunately, before he could fall in the dark, Gerald ordered a stop, then rolled over and dismounted.

The knights dismounted and followed Gerald into the forest on foot, followed by Xiu.

It doesn't look any different here than anywhere else, the leaves of the black poplar trees are still criss-crossed, and the saber rattling is still tense.

Gerald pulled something out of his arms, looked at it, and walked in one direction. He didn't have long to walk before he went under a tree and picked up a fragment.

It looked like a piece of iron, but it seemed to be tainted with something, and a faint layer of black gas swirled around it.

"This is a fragment of the Scout's weapon, stained with the flesh of the dead. All on alert, we are close to our goal. ”

The knights drew their swords one after another, and for a moment, the sound of the long sword unsheathed resounded through the small woods.

Xiu was not trained in swords, so he had to draw his handcuffs. But before he could open the firing pin, he was held down by a hand.

A Valkyrie poked his head, "Brother Xiu, don't shoot at night, the sound of gunfire is the best bait to attract the dead!" ”

The Valkyrie cultivator had some impressions, one of the few Valkyries who had eaten with Suzanne before.

Xiu nodded, "But I don't know how to use a sword..."

"Won't? The people of the Kaslana family are full of talent for the use of weapons, don't you? The Valkyrie seemed incredulous.

"Linda, don't talk!" At this time, a knight next to him reminded, "We will be in danger!" ”

"But, I can't believe that the head will make this..."Linda thought for a long time and couldn't think of any words to describe Xiu, "This... Incompletely trained recruits are on the field! ”

"Do you want to know what I think?" A calm but powerful voice rang out in front of Linda.

Linda stiffly turned her head and barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "No, I don't want to..."

"I'm here to punish this man. violated the army's work and rest, rode horses in the barracks at night, and confronted the commander. I was merciful not to get rid of him. This time, it's up to you to be the scout! ”

All the knights were suddenly in a commotion.

It is amazing news that this team of such high quality can not help but stir. But none of them objected. Because they know that Gerald won't do anything superfluous.

Xiu looked around. The knights' faces were strange, more of a pity.

He knew there must be something wrong with the mission.

But instead of refuting, he silently accepted it.

"Sir, what am I going to do?" Xiu asked.

Gerald tossed something to Xiu. Xiu panicked and continued, but he didn't catch it and threw it several times in a row before he caught it.

It was only in the light of the torch that he could see what it looked like.

It was a compass with two pointers pointing in two directions. No matter how he turned, he firmly pointed in two directions.

"This is the compass, which consists of two pointers. The red needle refers to the geographical direction, and the red needle points to the north. The green needle refers to the direction of collapse. Wherever the green needle points to, there is the existence of collapse. But remember, the direction of the green needle is always the strongest direction of Honkai, and he won't tell you how much, only where you are the strongest. All you have to do is follow the Green Needle to find the location of the Honkai and connect with the scouts we sent out earlier to bring back the information. ”

"Is it just to find someone?" Follow the Green Needle? ”

Gerald didn't make any moves, just stared at Xiu "Yes." You go now. ”

This should be a dangerous and potentially deadly mission. Why do you want me to go, do you want me to die!

Xiu clenched his fists tightly. But he let go anyway.

It is useless to resist, no one will pay attention to themselves. Even if there is a lot of noise, the end result is still the same. There is no point in being noisy.

He lowered his head, grabbed the compass, and silently followed the direction of the green needle into the dark depths. The darkness gradually overshadowed his figure, and the light of the torches.

Gerard looked at Xiu's departing figure, without resistance, without hesitation, without taking a souvenir, without dragging the mud and water at all. He walked very simply. His brow furrowed deeply.

'Francis, your son was really taught like a soldier by you... No, slaves alike. It's really like death. Gerald snorted coldly.

"Gianna, you go with Xiu and teach him how to do the scouts."

A knight nodded in agreement and chased after Xiu where he had left. After Gianna was gone, Gerald ordered "Linda." ”

Linda was excited and hurriedly stood up.

"You take two people to follow behind Gianna, if there is really a situation, take them to retreat as soon as possible, don't be afraid of exposure, allow the use of handcuffs to protect yourself, and send a distress signal at the same time."

"Yes!" Linda was obviously very happy, and gladly took the order to grab the two people casually and leave as they screamed.

"The rest of the people, in groups of three, move freely, take Xiu as the central point, and move within a radius of one kilometer to search! Remember, take cultivation as the center point, and move with him! If you see a distress signal... No support! ”

"Yes." The knights replied in a whisper, and the skillful threes and threes searched separately.
