Chapter Fifty-Six: The Knight's Declaration

It's amazing!

It's just a cooperation, and it can kill the dead so easily!

Xiu deeply felt the strength of the instructors.

He couldn't help but think: If the commanders were so powerful, why did so many instructors die on the first night?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about anything else. It's not safe yet, it's not the time to think about these things. They just opened a small opening that could break through.

The dead are not scary, but the scary ones are the Honkai Beasts.

The huge movement behind them was approaching them, and Xiu had no doubt that if it had been chased, all of them would have died here today. The instructor said that all of them together could not defeat the giant Honkai Beast, so they must not be caught up by it.

Even someone as powerful as Linda can't defeat Honkaimon, so what kind of strength does it take to stop it! Xiu clenched his fists hard

He followed Linda closely, and was not happy that he had been praised by Linda for killing a dead man, and there was no reason to be happy at all in the current situation.

He was a little confused now.

He was wondering why the power of the handcuff was so small.

You know, when he used Kaslana's handcuff to hit the scarecrow target, he could blow off a large piece of the floor by the way, and the scarecrow was directly broken up into a scattered straw, like a straw snow... The handcuff is too powerful compared to that.

Is the construction of the handcuffs different? Xiu didn't understand, so he had to run and reload.

Linda didn't have the habit of dividing ammunition into rounds. Gunpowder, projectiles, and saltpeter were each filled with a large dendrum.

It took half a minute to load the ammunition, and the small wooden stick stabbed the gunpowder projectile tightly and opened the firing pin.

Linda ran very fast, and Xiu could only barely keep up.

"Sister Linda, I'm ready for the next shot!"

"Keep it for now, and load your handcuffs with ammo too! Keep up with us, stay vigilant, and be ready to be attacked! Rush-level Honkai Beasts are gone, and they could appear anywhere at any time! Linda reminded Xiu loudly.

Xiu nodded.

He continued to load ammunition. But he's already starting to be careful.

It was still night, and only the sparse moonlight in the black aspen forest could shine through the layers of iron-leaved steel branches into the land. They didn't have any torches now, but that didn't stop them from moving. Because the woods are so clean.

There were not even weeds or shrubs on the ground, only dirt and gravel, not even a single root of the black poplar.

After all, this is a forest that exudes the smell of collapse, and there are no other plants here that can survive except for black poplar. And if they want to see the road clearly, the thin moonlight is enough.

Thanks to today's weather, it's not a moonless night. If that were the case, they would be more than lucky.

Therefore, they can be so unscrupulous and unscrupulous to run at full speed in the dark night in such a sword mountain and sword forest.

After the hand pump was reloaded, Xiu felt that his body began to weaken a little.

This is different from the usual training, training only needs to concentrate on running, and now he is running for his life.

He needs to spend more physical energy on observation, communication, and reloading firearms. And the greatest physical exertion is the pressure in the heart. In stress, physical exertion is the most exertional, and it is the most exhausting.

Xiu took a hard breath, removed the miscellaneous thoughts, ignored the exhaustion of his body and continued to retreat with Linda.

He gripped the handcuff tightly in his right hand, and gripped the hilt of his sword in his left hand, guarding against the Honkai Beast that might appear at any moment. He didn't know where Honkaimon would come from, so he was on the lookout everywhere.

They have been running for more than ten minutes, and the beacon has been launched for more than ten minutes. It stands to reason that the support of the Mandate of Heaven should have arrived a long time ago.

But now there is no sign of anyone coming to the rescue, and no signal to respond to the beacon has appeared.

Linda frowned.

That's very wrong.

"Things may change, Chief Gerald may be in trouble, what should be holding the people back to their support. We may be on our own. Now change the plans... Do everything possible to get out of Honkai's pursuit, if you can't..."Linda didn't say any more. But everyone knows what he means.

"Are we going to die?" Xiu asked uneasily.

"Yes. Or maybe not. Linda patted Xiu's head with her free hand, "Don't be afraid. Sooner or later, the knights of Destiny will have that day. However, if Chief Gerald was here, Honkaimon wouldn't be a threat. Linda said.

Xiu wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want anyone else to die. But he knew that saying such things would have no effect, and even if he did, it would only be a shame.

Perhaps, if you die here, you won't be the one who lost Caslana.

Xiu thought in his heart.

At this time, the corner of his eye was flashed by a burst of scarlet light. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, turned around and took the trigger directly.

Rumble!!!!

A violent explosion sounded, and everyone involuntarily looked back, only to see a small figure pass in front of them, slamming the ground in front of them, and then being bounced up and rolling forward several times before stopping.

That's repair.

Linda and the others had to stop to check on Xiu.

Xiu trembled slightly for a while, and got up with difficulty.

He thought back to what had just happened.

He saw the appearance of the Honkaimon, and then pulled the trigger, and a huge force erupted from his hand, and the irresistible thrust hit his chest at once. He was at the end of the line, and he was rushed to the front by this force, and he lost consciousness for a short time.

"Ahem, ahem," Xiu coughed in pain, the pain in his chest making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

This can be fatal for people who exercise vigorously, because the body's oxygen is depleted dramatically, and if it is not replenished, it will soon die.

Xiu endured the pain of the bone in his chest as if it were about to shatter, forcing himself to breathe, panting and panting.

"Xiu, can you still withstand it?" Linda looked at Xiu with a solemn face.

Xiu nodded with difficulty, and took a step to continue running, but was stopped by Linda.

"Don't run." Linda looked at the two canine-like Breakthrough Honkai Beasts in front of her, which looked like giant wolves, "We can't run away. Get ready for battle. Throw the gun away, it's useless. ”

Xiu looked at Linda's handcuff in his hand.

The barrel had become red, twisted and deformed, and even the firing pin had been blown away. The gun had just exploded visibly. But fortunately, it didn't cause any damage to Xiu's hands.

"You show me the ammunition belt."

Xiu handed the ammunition belt to Linda, who glanced at the gunpowder and shouted, "Do you think this is artillery!" You filled most of the gunpowder at once?! ”

She looked at the projectile bag again, "You've filled all the projectiles?" Do you know how to use a handcuff? Didn't Kaslana even teach you! ”

"But, that's what Grandpa Arthur called me," Xiu said, bowing his head.

Linda choked.

"Captain Arthur, that's no problem..."Linda said curtly, "You Kaslana are all a bunch of perverts, no wonder you can beat Honkaimon like that with that shot..."

Xiu looked at the same place just now.

The head of the Honkai beast that he hit had been crooked, and the front half of its body had obviously collapsed, and a large amount of pitch-black blood flowed out of the dog's mouth. But even so, Honkaimon didn't die. It was struggling as it lay on the ground, its hind legs kicking and kicking, its flattened mouth opening and closing meaninglessly, as if trying to bite something.

Even if they are beaten like this, their instinct to eat is still greater than their instinct to survive.

Or maybe they just show up for predation.

"Don't look miserable now, but as long as it's in a collapsed environment, it will recover in an hour, and then it's as good as ever." Linda gritted her teeth and said, "Only pure strength can defeat Honkaimon." But it's only to defeat, not kill! We can't cut through their skin, we can only shatter their fragile internal structures with our strength and then bind and seal them away. As long as it leaves the Honkai environment, the Honkai Beast will not be able to regain its strength or body. But... Still won't die! ”

"They are like demons, like nightmares, they will not die no matter what, no matter how miserable they will stand up again and stretch out their claws... Not even three days of cauterization, a month of flooding, or even filling its belly with molten iron could not kill them. The flames will be absorbed by them, the water will be polluted by them, and even the molten iron poured into it will be solidified and completely corrupted and disappeared by the collapse and erosion... We tried everything we could to kill them, but we all failed... Until now, Destiny had no way to kill them. Even when they are restrained, they will do everything they can to bite off a piece of flesh from everything that is alive. It's like they have an unrequited hatred for humanity, killing, killing, killing no matter what. Even if the sealed are physically unable to move, they will affect the human spirit and pollute the human will with that desperate, terrible, and extremely evil wail. That sound will forever surround the cage that binds it, never stopping, as if it were going to attack the humans with the last of their strength..."

"So, Xiu, are you afraid?" Linda's face was very close to Xiu, and she looked at Xiu closely.

"Is my sister fighting something like this?" The answer is not what was asked.

"Yes. Your sister, your grandfather, your father are all fighting this monster that can't be killed. It's always been there. ”

"Then I won't be afraid. I'm not going to run away from it. Even though I'm a useless piece of waste, I'm still Kaslana's person. Grandpa Arthur taught me a lot, and although I didn't use most of them and slowly forgot them, there was one thing I will never forget. Xiu's eyes flickered brightly. At night, the light is as bright as a diamond.

"Kaslana's knights are noble knights who are willing to sacrifice for others. If one day we are required to give our lives, we will not run away! "Because I'm Kaslana's knight!" Xiu thought back to the Kaslana family motto that Arthur had taught, and recalled and imitated Arthur's expression and tone. A desolate pride slowly manifested in this child.

Linda looked straight at Xiu's firm color, and after a while, she chuckled.

Linda pulled out the knight's sword and pointed it straight to the sky, and Gianna and the others widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw Linda's movements. But soon they returned to normal, walked up to Linda, drew their knightly swords, and pointed them at the sky. "Xiu, pull out your sword and follow me."

Xiu pulled out his sword for some reasonβ€”he only had one sword left, and the previous one was still in the dead man's stomach before he could take it.

"You are a reserve knight of the 10th Knights, and you will tell this formation later, you know!" Linda's tone became serious.

Xiu nodded earnestly.

"I'm a soldier of the First Brigade of the Second Knights, Linda Apocalis."

Apocalis? Xiu was taken aback. But he still followed Linda to take the oath.

"I'm a reserve knight of the Tenth Order, Hugh Kaslana."

"I won't back down, I'm not afraid! I will use my courage and my life to defend this peaceful land, and I will never allow Honkai to step into it! Like Linda, the remaining three girls solemnly said their vows to the invisible sky.

"I won't back down, I'm not afraid! I will use my courage and my life to defend this peaceful land, and I will never allow Honkai to step into it! "Repair a solemn oath.

"I swear I will not fear death;

I swear I will not bow to evil;

I swear I'll spend my life fighting Honkai;

I swear I will save all who can be saved;

I swear I'll keep the Honkai out of humanity;

I swear that I firmly believe that the dawn of human victory will come;

I swear I will believe in me to death!

Bet on the glory of life, and I will protect humanity to the end!

Born with glory, died with honor, my heart is like my sword, and I would rather bend than bend. ”

"Everything, for the sake of Destiny!"
