Chapter 43: The White Knight

Old Dekker led the expedition party to the fortress that had once been left behind by the Knights, and the group looked up.

The fortress is not very tall, from the outside it looks like it is only three stories high, but it covers a lot of land, nearly three acres in size. Moreover, this wilderness fortress, where a large part of the interior space is underground, should have had an army of at least three hundred people stationed here all year round during the heyday of the Knights of the Torch.

Despite being abandoned for twenty years, the outer walls of the fort are covered with green vines. However, the main structure of the building is still stable and intact, after all, it was built as a small military fortress, and the sturdiness is reliable enough.

"Do you know how many of them there are?" Old asked the gray robe, this kind of fortress often considers the situation of being attacked by enemy troops, so the internal structure is also very complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the enemy has enough manpower to catch the fortress structure and ambush it, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses if they rush in!

"Uh...... There shouldn't be too many people," the gray-robed man recalled, "and I've only seen two or three people coming in and out of my wanderings around the neighborhood. But they give me the impression that they are all very powerful guys...... Well, the very strong kind! ”

Old looked at him closely, and could not see the gray-robed man's expression due to the obscuration of the mask. But Old Dick didn't care, he could feel that at this point, the other party was not lying.

Since there are not many people, then there is nothing to worry about, just kill it! As for the masters...... Old Dekker sneered and grabbed the knife in his hand.

Sure enough, his instinct still felt that the blue crystal couldn't be snatched away by the Dark Star Alliance! Moreover, the enemy is the rebels of the Dark Star Alliance, and the Traveler's House, one of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, also has the obligation and responsibility to crusade!

"Prepare for battle!" Old Dekker ordered, "Everyone is a veteran, so the old man doesn't talk nonsense, let's do it for myself!" What's more, today's battle against the Dark Star Rebels, the old man will be rewarded twice the amount of the alliance's bounty! "Of course, there is also the special incentive method of the Traveler's House - a big reward!

It has to be said that this simple and crude method is often the most effective. The morale, especially of the adventurers, was instantly mobilized.

Bang! Old Dakker smashed the gate directly with a knife in the head, and everyone clenched their weapons and rushed in.

But not a single enemy was seen. The hall, which was as vast as an auditorium, was empty, with only rolling dust flying in the sun.

"There are not many enemies, so they should all be concentrated in the upper echelons. But beware of the traps they have laid! Old Dick said calmly.

"No, if the enemy is the enemy, I'm afraid there is one in front of me...... Considering we're dealing with that armor collector this time. Fan pointed forward with his dagger.

In the direction he was pointing, a silver-white armor stood in the center of the hall. Heavy knight's plate armor, and it was also used by quite tall and strong knights - the armor that reflected the sunlight was almost three meters high, and it looked like it was one or two hundred kilograms. To be honest, this level of armor is enough to deal with the vast majority of attacks, and if anyone can really move freely in it, then it's no problem to go up and fight the Commander Demon hand-to-hand!

Not to mention that this armor still has a big sword in its hand, one end is inserted into the ground, the hilt of the sword still reaches its chest, and the visual inspection is also a big guy two or three meters long!

Originally, everyone used it as an ornament in the fortress, or equipment left over from the previous Knights of the Flame. However, after hearing Fan Li say this, people reacted - isn't the enemy boss this time the "armor collector" who is famous for fighting with various armors and puppets?

Moreover, the silver-white knight's armor stood so prominently in the middle of the hall, and it was spotless that it had obviously been placed here not long ago.

"White Knight! That's the White Knight! The gray-robed man suddenly cried out in surprise.

White Knight? Others, slightly sluggish, recalled as if they had heard of the name......

"Twenty years ago, the two famous Great Knights, the Black Knight of the Knights of the Dawn and the White Knight of the Knights of the Torch, their generations of successors have occupied two of the Twelve Celestial Stars of Glory, and they are the most powerful warriors and the most powerful witchers!" The gray-robed man explained, "This is the armor that the White Knight once used!" You can't go wrong! ”

Twenty years ago, the White Knights fell along with the Knights of the Flame. But among the many legends about the Knights of the Torch, the legacy of the White Knight is always the most tempting treasure, after all, every generation of people who take over the title of "White Knight" will become one of the most powerful twelve people in the whole alliance, or all of humanity!

Whether it is strength, or the status and glory that comes with it, it is a treasure that people dream of!

And the weapons and equipment used by these strong men, and the places where they have practiced, are the clues that are most likely to bury these treasures. It's no wonder that the gray-robed man who is the "inheritor of the torch" is so excited.

He seemed to want to rush up to take a closer look, but was pulled back by old Dakker Sr.

At this moment, the White Knight's armor moved.

The White Knight is long dead, so it can't be the top demon hunter in this armor. Even- looking at the dark and empty space behind the armor, it remains to be seen whether there is anyone inside.

Cursed armor? Or is it armor attached to the spirits? Or is it some kind of magic that can move autonomously? Is there a mechanical structure installed inside to drive it?

Because this is the work of an armor collector, then all of the above is possible.

However, since it is not the White Knight himself, then there is no need to worry.

"It's just a piece of armor...... old Dake leaked domineeringly, dragging the knife to the front.

The adventurers looked at each other and hurriedly followed. The prestige of the white knight still deterred them to some extent, but the employers took the lead in the charge, and they took people's money, so they can't be instigated at this time, right?

Duang~

The loud sound of metal clashing echoed through the hall, setting off a terrifying sound. The huge demon slaying knife in Old Dakk's hand and the larger door plate sword in the white knight's hand slashed fiercely together.

The old man, who was as strong as a lion, couldn't resist the impact of the collision, and slid backwards with his feet on the ground. The white knight was unforgiving, and the great sword of the door panel seemed to have no weight in his hand, and it slashed through the air deftly, and the sound of the wind fell again!

Rumble! Aiolos' greatsword of thunder and fire arrived just in time to block it. The thunder and flames wrapped around the sword instantly collapsed and exploded, and Aiolos was lifted high and blown to the door in one go.

Dingdingding...... Fan Li was holding two swords in his hands at the moment, and his body was like an electric wanderer walking beside the white knight, and a pair of short swords launched a dense attack.

But it didn't work, the white knight's armor was too strong, and it often took several swords to stab in the same position in succession to break the defense. And it still doesn't make sense to break the defense in time, because the white knight in front of him is just a full-body armor.

In general, the three most capable of fighting in the group were pinned, not to mention the others.

Ling Jian stood a little farther away, and also fired a few shots with his short-barreled shotgun. Although armor-piercing bullets were used, they still did not have much effect. The predicament he encountered was similar to that of Fan Li, it was basically difficult to break through the defense, and occasionally he was lucky enough to successfully pierce the armor, but the empty armor was meaningless.

"No wonder the white knight dared to fight the big demon hand-to-hand when he wore this." Ling Jian complained, "This thing's physical defense is already full!" ”

Everyone gathered around and ping-pong for a while, but the white knight always stood tall, and it could even be said that he was unscathed! On the contrary, it was the door panel sword in his hand that posed a great threat to the team. The fat brother among the strange brothers was smashed into the ground by a sword, and he was not deducted for a long time.

Old Dake roared again and again, surrounded by blood-red airflow, and rushed forward again and again with a broadsword. With the rise of momentum, it can gradually be equal to the white knight. In addition, Aiolos was restrained from the side, gradually turning the situation around and gaining the upper hand.

But the overall situation is still not optimistic, and at this trend, the devil knows how long it will take to exhaust the White Knight's strength, if it has the stamina.

The crusade team has almost exhausted all means, but in the face of the white knight, there is always a feeling that they can't do it.

"Speaking of which, our team configuration is quite comprehensive...... Except that there are no mages and priests......" Ling Jian continued to analyze the current situation to himself, "Wait, maybe this guy's spell resistance is not high!" ”

An adventurer next to Ling Key heard, "Even if you say so...... We don't have such a noble profession as a mage! ”

Because his voice was so loud, Fanley heard, "Is that so?" ...... with magic Spells? ”

The middle-aged man who had been harassing around the white knight suddenly moved. The instantaneous acceleration made his previous movements seem like leisurely slow motion.

Fan Li's two swords danced continuously, and he didn't care if he hit the target or not, just like that, the sword slashed out as quickly as a sword, and his blade emitted a faint fluorescence, leaving a clear trajectory in the air.

The trajectory of the blade was then composed to outline a kind of rune that no one recognized, and connected it into sentences.

With the last sword, Fan Li channeled the spell he had woven with the fast sword towards the White Knight.

Suddenly, the white knight's body froze, and a sharp and mournful wail came from his armor. Then it gave up on the other enemies in front of it and turned to kill Fanley!

"I can see that this is a resentful spirit!" Fan Li retreated as he shouted, "Whoever is that, the guy who has learned the purification technique, hurry up, it's easy to get it!" ”

Really? People are skeptical, purification is a very large spell, basically people with a little talent for spell casting can learn it, it is a spell with no combat effectiveness. Can this spell solve the White Knight?

"Take action! Don't hesitate! Old Dick ordered.

The people of the escort team did not hesitate to carry out the order, and those who knew how to purify the adventurers also joined in, so try it anyway.

More than a dozen faint white rays of light flew out of the people's hands, pounced on the white knight without any threat, and then sank into it through the armor.

There was no response, except for Old Dekker who stabbed it again, and everyone else stopped to observe the White Knight's movements.

The White Knight raised his sword again, wanting to continue the fight. At this moment, its body suddenly stiffened, its left calf broke off from its knee, and its whole body fell to the left side.

Then, the door panel greatsword also fell, as part of its arm was also scattered to the ground. With a mournful wail inside the armor, the entire White Knight's armor collapsed with a bang, falling to the ground and turning into a pile of armor parts.

Hell, it works! Including Ling Jian himself, everyone sighed in their hearts at this time. What the hell are we fighting so hard for?
