Chapter 323: Going Home
The City of Light, inside a magnificent temple.
"Vallo, this is the information we just got." An old man with gray hair in gorgeous silver armor picked up a roll of parchment and handed it to a square-faced middle-aged knight with a serious face who was also dressed in the same way.
"Lanlot, did you find him?"
The middle-aged knight took the scroll and opened it, looking at it carefully, his face was a little complicated, "Well, after degrading into a black knight, he can still keep a clear head, and he is worthy of being the best knight squire that I have ever met in my life." ”
"If only he wasn't betrayal."
"Perhaps, he will be the youngest leader of the Knights of Light." The middle-aged knight sighed.
"He was brought into the Order by you, and this matter will be left to you. Take your man, find him, kill him, and bring his head back! The honor of the Knights of Light is not to be tarnished! The white-haired old man's voice was firm.
"I'll bring his head back."
The middle-aged knight made a standard knightly salute and turned to leave.
......
The long winter is finally over and the snow is beginning to melt.
In several towns in the southern part of the Holy See of Light, terrifying legends of a black knight and his demonic minions have also begun to circulate. In the bard's verses, they are the messengers of the devil, who do all kinds of evil, cruelly killing all living things that come before them.
On the plains dozens of kilometers east of the city of Dale.
As the snow melted, the ground began to get muddy.
But at this time, the muddy ground has been stained red with blood! Hundreds of corpses were scattered on the ground, and dozens of daring vultures were pecking at their flesh. A group of well-armed bandits are cleaning up the battlefield and gathering the scattered fleeing horses.
Steed.
But it's a very valuable trophy.
"Hahaha, these idiot bounty hunters dare to fight our Black Axe Thieves."
"With Lord Lanlott here, as many people as they come, they will be sent to death."
"Lord Lanlott is too strong!"
On the battlefield, some bandits also laughed and talked.
Da-da-da-da.
Not far to the south, a black-armored knight riding a demonic armored war horse walked slowly, and a faint black mist shrouded the knight. As the horses walked by, the air around them seemed to become cold and biting, and the muddy ground below began to freeze.
Compared to half a year ago, Barr is even stronger.
"Lord Lanlot."
"Your Excellency."
Seeing Barr coming, the bandits around him cheered.
The war horse stopped, and Baal looked at the scar-faced strong man in front of him on the left, holding a two-handed giant sword: "Adams, hurry up and let them take the useful things away, we should go back." ”
"Yes, sir."
Adams then turned his head to look at the crowd behind him and shouted, "Are you all deaf?" Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, which bastard dares to stand stupidly for me, I'll cut off his head! ”
"Hurry up."
"Hurry up and pack up." The crowd also moved.
"The transformation effect of black matter on the body is getting weaker and weaker, and it seems to have entered a bottleneck period." Baal said darkly, "The ability of the source of destruction is much stronger, and it seems that the law of darkness has played a big role. ”
As he progressed to the level of resolution of black matter.
It is also known.
Hidden in this is the law of darkness.
Of course, it's not the full law of darkness, just a few fragments of it about intensification. With the deepening of his comprehension of the law, his physical fitness has been continuously enhanced, and it has reached seventy times that of ordinary people! But with the current comprehension alone, it is difficult to improve it.
"Huh?"
Baal's eyes moved, and he looked sideways to the south, "Someone is here, it's someone from the Knights of Light, it should be here to hunt me down, right?" But just a few people come to look down on me too much. ”
"Adams, take the people out at once." Barr turned his head and shouted, his tone unquestionable.
"Yes."
"Grab the loot and come with me!" When Adams heard Barr's order, he didn't say a word, but took all the people around him and hurried east. He knew what Baal was up to, and since he had told them to leave, he must have come to some powerful enemy that they couldn't handle.
He knew it in his heart.
There are not only powerful knights in this world, but also terrifying beings that they are far from imagining, just like Lord Lanlot, which is absolutely invincible and overwhelming!
Soon.
Rumble...
In the distance, I saw seven knights on war horses, hurrying from the southern field, their bright silver armor shining brightly in the sunlight. Although there are only seven people, there is an unstoppable momentum!
"Roar~"
The Dark Warhorse let out a low roar, and two ice-blue air currents erupted from its nostrils. Baal tapped his right hand, and the Dark Warhorse fell silent. Under the continuous reinforcement of his use of the law of darkness, this dark war horse has long since broken away from the realm of ordinary creatures and stepped into the transcendent realm.
The ranks of knights were swift and soon stopped not far in front of Baal.
Da-da-da.
A knight at the front urged the war horse to step forward, but as soon as he entered a position about ten meters away from Bal, the war horse under him seemed to be greatly frightened, and he couldn't stop neighing, and retreated again and again, if it wasn't for the knight's desperate control, he would have turned around and fled.
It has been retreating more than ten meters, and under the comfort of the knight, the war horse has quieted down.
Wow.
The mask is pulled back.
The middle-aged knight looked at the familiar and unfamiliar figure in front of him, his face became unusually solemn, and he asked in a slightly complicated tone: "Lanlot, why did you betray the Knights of Light." ”
"Mentor Valor."
"I have never turned my back on the light, it is the light that has turned its back on me." Baal spoke calmly, he had all the memories of Lanlot, and naturally knew the whole process of Lanlot's defection from the Knights, the loss of faith, and the degeneration of the Black Knight.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Knights of Light.
The knights, following their original philosophy, swore to show mercy to the weak and defend their honor.
But hundreds of years later, under the temptation of power and money, the top of the Holy See has become decaying, and the so-called Knights of Light have actually become lackeys of the ruling class. The wanton killing of opponents, the slaughter of civilians in the name of judging infidels...
It was precisely because he could not agree with this kind of unchivalry that he chose to leave.
"I see."
"But everything you have is given by the church, and today I will take it back on behalf of the Lord God of Light." Vallo's voice was low, and without much explanation, he urged his horse to turn and run back to the ranks behind.
Wow!
Seven knights formed a charging formation, their sharp spears pointed straight ahead.
"For the light!"
Led by Vallow, seven knights galloped in. The hazy golden light shrouded the knights, shining even more brightly in the sunlight, and the aura of Valo and the others also increased rapidly, and even the war horses under them were no longer afraid.
On a hillside not far to the east.
Adams and the others stopped, looking at this god-like team of knights with some nervousness.
Knights of Light, one of the strongest knights in the continent!
"As a knight, it should be a good place to die on the battlefield." Baal's face was calm, looking at the rushing team, his right hand holding a man-tall sword at his side, a thick black-blue mist churning around.
Draw the knife in an instant.
The black mist adhered to the battle knife, and the battle knife that was originally one person long actually skyrocketed to dozens of meters, and slashed down at the knight team in front of it, and countless one-person-high dark blue swords followed, dense like a rain of knives.
Rumble!
The air is churning, and the earth is shattering!
The knights, along with the horses under them, were torn apart by the extremely sharp light of the sword in an instant, and then buried by the shattered earth and stones. The powerful Knight of Light couldn't even block a blow from Baal.
Seventy times the physical fitness of ordinary people, and the powerful ability of the source of destruction, make Baal's combat power extremely terrifying! This is especially true in a world where magic is in decline and the value of force is relatively low.
"Why, this is the Knights of Light."
"Lord Lanlott is too strong."
"There's no way anyone can defeat Lord Lanlot, no way!" On the hillside, everyone was stunned. Most of them were ordinary civilians, who had become bandits in order to fill their stomachs, and they had never even seen a few knights, let alone Baal, who was like a demon god.
"Whew, whew." Barr gasped slightly, apparently delivering the blow he had just delivered wasn't easy for him. The elemental energy of this world was very thin, and he couldn't use an attack of this level just now.
"It's time to go."
Baal urged the Dark Horse to join the crowd on the hillside, and then hurried in the direction of the camp.
......
Time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the middle of the continent, the country of the plains - Labis.
In the wilderness to the south of the Warren Hills, there is a camp of no small size. The camp was surrounded by a tall, thick stone wall, on which soldiers and archers patrolled. Inside, there are a series of buildings and tents. The streets are very lively, and you can see many caravans full of goods coming in and out of the door, and some strong men in fine armor chatting and laughing through them.
This is the last year.
Famous throughout the continent, the station of the Black Axe mercenary group.
As the leader of the mercenary group, Lanlott is even more famous, and is recognized as the strongest knight in the continent and the king of the black knights. Of course, there are also some people who secretly call him the Dark Lord, the Apostle of the Demon God.
Two months ago.
In an encirclement and suppression of the Holy See of Light, Lanlote led 5,000 Black Axe mercenary regiments, defeated the 25,000 regular troops led by Duke Cummins, and killed 200 Knights of Light sent by the Holy See with the power of one person, shocking the entire continent.
In the hall of the center of the camp.
"Your Excellency, what do you think of the arrival of the emissary of the Kingdom of Labis - King Ordon in the hope that we can serve the Kingdom of Rabis and promise to grant you the title of Earl?" On the left seat, Daisy looked at Barr with burning eyes.
Nearly two years have passed.
Daisy's face is also a little less green and mature.
Just a year ago, Baal had a breakthrough in his understanding of the laws of darkness, creating a simple forging method that absorbs the power of darkness and increases his strength, although it is still very rough, but the effect is remarkable. With his help, Daisy and the others have dramatically improved their physical fitness, even surpassing those powerful knights of light.
"Let's wait and see what other countries offer." Barr looked at the two people below and said, "Daisy, Adams, I have some things to deal with lately, and I will be away for a few days, and the affairs of the Corps will be left to the two of you." ”
After defeating the attack of the Holy See of Light, his influence quickly reached the required level and he was ready to leave. The Black Axe Mercenary Group has also been on the right track, and after such a long time, although Bei Jia is here, he is still a little relieved in Hailan Town.
"Where are you going?" Daisy asked.
"Go home." Barr laughed.
