"Damn it!"
Looking at the body of the captain who was thrown away, Gregory cursed in a low voice, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
What if he were the savior? In the face of the siege of the three black knights, it was very difficult for him to even protect himself, let alone save people.
What's more, the mercenaries who followed him all the way here were not comfortable, because when they encountered the dragon-headed python between them, the hired mercenaries were scattered a lot, so most of these mercenaries were temporarily hired from the two intermittent strongholds of the route, the strength was uneven, and the sense of teamwork was even weaker, and when facing the impact of the black knight, the first reaction was to dodge to the side, exposing the comrades in the rear to the front of the black knight.
However, Gregory has nothing to worry about these mercenaries, these mercenaries were slaughtered by the Black Knight long before the group of soldiers on the west side was wiped out, and now only Hall and another Ranger are still holding on, dodging the Black Knight's attacks with their nimble skills.
But the two of them couldn't last long, as the mercenaries and soldiers fell one after another, more and more black knights joined the siege, constantly compressing the space for the two of Hall's activities, and in a few minutes, the two of Hall would die under the sword of the black knight.
Powerlessness, reluctance, anger, and all kinds of emotions continue to pound Gregory's heart, but his sword hand gradually becomes weaker - after being besieged by the three black knights for several minutes, Gregory's physical strength has reached its limit.
Finally, despair appeared in Gregory's heart.
He looked in the direction of Angus, only to find that Angus had long since disappeared, leaving only a trampled corpse in place, and he swept over where Hall was, only to see another ranger being slashed by a sword.
"Are you going to die?"
Gregory's strength is getting weaker and weaker, and the massive consumption of physical energy even makes him hallucinate, he seems to see the scene of his head being cut off by the giant sword, and even has auditory hallucinations in his ears, as if he heard the voice of a witch: "Don't be afraid, death does not mean the end, but only another beginning ......"
Another start? It also seems to look good.
A strange thought crossed Gregory's mind, and he waved the sword in his hand mechanically, but the voice of the witch changed its tone, as if it were a chant: "Begin with fire, melt into fire, return to fire; The first fire burns, the soul remains, and the embers are alive ......"
The voice of the chant gradually became ethereal, and an inexplicable force poured into his body from Gregory's right hand, and the mind that had begun to become chaotic also turned again, as Gregory swung his sword again to block the attack of a black knight, the vibration transmitted along his arm made him come back to his senses slightly, but he found that the flame proof in his hand had ignited a layer of flame at some point.
If the original proof of flame was like a sword made of flames, then the proof of flame is now a sword burning with blazing flames!
And as the flames burned, a fiery force poured out of the hilt of the sword, along Gregory's arm and into his body.
Gregory's spirits perked up, and after parrying another attack, he hurriedly held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the speed of energy influx suddenly doubled, but in a few seconds, Gregory's physical strength and strength were restored to their peak.
However, this is not the end, the power from the flame proof is still pouring into Gregory's body, Gregory felt that his whole body was blown up, and after raising his sword to hold a mace, he subconsciously pushed out, and actually pushed a black knight out with a man and a horse!
At the same time, Gregory also had a realization in his heart, as if the dusty memory had been unraveled, he clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and after forcing back several black knights around him with a twisted slash, he suddenly inserted the flame evidence in his hand into the ground: "Soul Explosion!" ”
The flames on the flame proof instantly turned white, and the cracked lines on the ground nearby also lit up, and the white light spread out quickly like a spider web along the cracked lines of the ground, covering the ground in a radius of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
In the next second, the flames erupted, and the white flames instantly purified the space within a radius of tens of meters, and the steaming flames soared up like a white flame storm, and exploded in mid-air, burning all the gray fog within hundreds of meters.
The black knights who surrounded Gregory were naturally not spared, and even the seven black knights who surrounded Hall were "purified" six, leaving only the last black knight still standing in the distance, seemingly stunned for a few seconds, and then turned his horse's head and fled to the west.
Gregory didn't pay attention to the results of his blow, but without waiting for the flames to completely dissipate, he pulled out the evidence of the flames from the ground and rushed towards the captain lying on the ground.
After being pierced through the heart by a sword and thrown away by the black knight, even the captain who was a knight had only one breath left, looking at Gregory who rushed towards him, he pulled the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but only spit out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs - the black knight not only pierced his heart, but even injected the power of the gray mist into his body, even if he could survive by luck, he would eventually become a monster eroded by the gray mist.
"Sorry......"
Gregory half-knelt beside the captain, but the captain shook his head slightly, barely raised his arm, and patted his chest gently.
"What?"
Gregory didn't understand a little, but the captain suddenly took a big burst of black blood, mixed with the scraps of internal organs, and sprayed it on Gregory's chest, and then said in an angry voice: "Chest...... Wooden Crate ...... Bring back the Golden City...... Finish, Finish...... Task! ”
Saying the last word "mission", the captain's voice suddenly became a little louder, and his hand also grabbed Gregory's wrist tightly, the pupils of his eyes had dilated slightly, but he was still staring at Gregory's eyes.
Gregory took the captain's hand with his left hand and nodded solemnly: "I will." ”
Only then did the captain's hand let go, and looking at Gregory, there was also a bit of relief in his eyes, and most of the vitality that had been hanging by his cultivation had also dissipated in an instant.
But as the vitality dissipated, the captain's face gradually became rosy, he spit out a mouthful of black blood blocked in his throat, looked at Gregory and said: "When I die, let's burn all our corpses, lest we become monsters, and when the time comes, just bring everyone's badges back to Jincheng......"
The captain's voice grew quieter, and eventually, drifting into the wind as the fading vitality drifted into the wind, Gregory unfastened his breastplate and found a pierced wooden box, as well as a gold-plated badge with the captain's name engraved on it: Evans.
