The rugged path is not far to the left, in the middle of a dense forest.

A group of dozens of bandits, most of them dressed in shabby cotton clothes, a few even armed with sticks, and a few in leather armor and armed with iron weapons, lay in ambush here. At the foreground, a blonde girl wearing half-worn chain mail and carrying a two-handed sword on her back.

In the Bright Continent.

Iron is an extremely precious thing, and the most valuable thing is armor.

Don't look at it as just a half-used piece of chain mail, if you sell it, you will only get at least a few hundred 'gold lasso'. The total income of an ordinary peasant household in ten years is only that.

"Chief, there's someone on the road ahead!"

"It looks like it's a knight, should we do it?" It was a tall, thin man with a longbow next to the blonde girl, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with broken lenses, looking north.

"Knight?"

The blonde girl's face hesitated.

The knights of the Five Kingdoms are terrifying creatures, they are the killing machines on the battlefield, and they are also the heroes of most legends, who are enemies of evil. Just like the Bright Knight of the Bright Holy See Country, it is famous on the mainland.

"If it's just a wandering knight, or some naïve aristocratic young master, there's still hope to kill it." The girl's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, even among the knights, there were only a few powerful ones, and most of them were members of the major knights. The other so-called knights are only a little stronger than ordinary people, and they can be killed by virtue of their numerical superiority.

Killing a knight is an amazing reward!

Their horses, armor, and sophisticated weapons are of such high value that they can sell for thousands of gold at will!

It's late autumn now, and their Black Axe Thieves haven't harvested for a long time. They need gold lassos to buy weapons and store food, otherwise most of them will freeze and starve to death before the winter passes.

"Will, go and get the two heavy and armor-piercing crossbows we stole from you." The blonde girl snorted, and against the knight in heavy armor, the shortbow and wooden arrow were not of use.

"I'll go."

A knife-wielding bandit next to him turned and ran away.

Soon.

Then he saw that the sword-wielding bandit had lost two wooden heavy crossbows and a bundle of steel crossbows, and ran back out of breath.

Bang.

Put down the Heavy Crossbow and Crossbow Loss.

"Chieftain, all, all brought." The knife-wielding thief took a breath before speaking.

"Webb, it's up to you this time, you must not miss it." The blonde girl handed one of the heavy crossbows to the middle-aged man on the side, and picked up the other herself. Webber was originally a crossbowman in the Kingdom Infantry Regiment and retired from the army after suffering a lung wound in a battle. It didn't take long for Weber to squander the retirement money in his hand, and Weber became a bandit as a matter of course, which is the final destination of many soldiers.

"Ahem, ahem."

Webb coughed lightly and reached out to take the heavy crossbow.

Knock knock...

The sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded, as if it were not a horse, but some kind of beast.

Looking to the north, the knight's figure became clearer.

"Black Knight!"

The blonde girl was so startled that she almost screamed. Then she glared at the tall and thin man fiercely, but looking at the seriously damaged alchemy glasses, she was also helpless.

Beside.

The hands of several of the bandits holding their weapons were shaking.

Even the veteran Webber had a cold sweat running down his face, and he knew very well how terrible these fallen knights really were.

Only the strongest knights will become black knights after renunciating their faith!

And under the erosion of dark forces, their strength will increase again, and at the same time, their feelings will completely disappear, turning into monsters driven only by the desire to kill and destroy.

Want to kill a Black Knight?

At the very least, a strong squad of knights is needed, and if it is an ordinary infantry regiment, hundreds of elite warriors and crossbowmen are needed to be able to kill each other.

"Let's go!"

The blonde girl let out a low cry and hurriedly retreated into the forest with everyone next to her. The Black Knights have an extremely keen sense of the breath of life, and if they are alarmed, they will all die here.

"Bands of Thieves? Judging by the number of people, it's just a small group of thieves. Barr opened his eyes and turned to look at the dense forest beside him. Although he has changed his body, his powerful spiritual power is still there, and he has long found the bandits in the ambush forest.

Under the black mist, his figure loomed.

The black substance in his body was quickly dissolved.

This unknown black substance is extremely violent, strengthening the body and affecting the sanity of the enhanced. However, his spiritual power was so strong that this influence had no effect on him at all.

"The Thieves... This Lanlot, who was a member of the Knights of Light and is now a Black Knight, would be a good choice if he traveled to other towns, which would inevitably attract attention. ”

"Just pick them."

Barr grinned, grabbed the mace beside him, and the black mist of the four hooves of the war horse under him surged, rushing like the wind towards the dense forest not far away. If you want to subdue these murderous bandits, you naturally want to kill people and stand up! He didn't have the time to talk to the other party.

Brush!

The horses were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already galloped into the forest. The complex terrain had almost no effect on this powerful dark warhorse, and the thick trees with the bowl mouth were shattered by a single blow, as if they were withered and decayed!

Woo~

Barr rode through the crowd on a war horse, and in a blink of an eye caught up with a middle-aged man running in front, swinging the hammer in his hand, and the whole upper body of the strong man was torn and smashed into the air, screaming and wailing to death.

Stop it.

Barr urged his horse, turned around, and looked at the crowd behind him

"Tours!"

"It's the Black Knight, it's over, he's found us." The bandits looked terrified.

Shout! Shout!

The two steel crossbows shot at a rapid pace, and Barr did not dodge, and raised his left hand with a wave, like a fly, and flew the two powerful crossbows out, and the scandium and scandium were inserted into the trees next to him.

"How can it be so strong!?" The blonde girl looked at the crossbow that had been knocked away, and there was a look of despair in her eyes. It was only then that she truly realized how powerful the rumored Black Knight really was!

"Run!"

Several of the robbers turned and fled.

Bal grabbed a few arrows from his quiver and threw them out. With tremendous force, the arrow shot out and passed through the chests of several bandits, blasting out a huge hole like a bowl!

Bang bang bang.

The corpses fell to the ground one after another.

"Does anyone else want to escape?" A hoarse voice sounded, with a bit of a cold taste.

"Spoken?"

"How is it possible, how can the black knight be wise."

Several bandits who were originally planning to flee also stopped at this time. Everyone looked at Baal in surprise, in the rumors, the Black Knight is a monster who only knows how to kill, and this one in front of him seems to be different.

"Black, Lord Black Knight, I'm Daisy, the leader of the Black Axe Thieves." The blonde girl walked up to Baal tremblingly, and they were powerless to resist in front of this terrifying knight.

"Chief?"

"Very good, from today onwards, I, Lanlot, will be your leader, do you have any opinions?" Barr pulled off his mask and looked at the blonde girl in front of him and the dozen or so bandits around him, "Let me ask you one last time, do you choose me or death?" ”

"Lanlot?"

"How can such a terrible knight be the leader of our bandof thieves?"

Everyone was stunned, and suddenly a powerful knight ran out, killed a few of them, and then wanted to be their leader?

A mighty knight who wants to be a thief?

"Venerable Lord Lanlot, welcome to become the leader of the Black Axe Thieves, I wonder if you have anything you need us to do?" The blonde girl performed a lame aristocratic etiquette, and as long as she could live, who cared what this eccentric knight was going to do.

"Uh... Is there anything to eat? Barr spoke.

"Yes, yes, we still have some bread and dried meat left in our camp." Daisy replied.

"Lead the way, let's go back to camp first." Barr laughed.

"Yes, sir."

Barr then followed Daisy and the others in the direction of their camp.

......

The cold north wind passed through the forest valley, and the whole land was white.

It's been three months in the blink of an eye.

On the south side of the Nuga Mountains, which stretches from east to west, in a valley, there is a large wooden camp. The Taniguchi location is a wooden wall made up of thick tree trunks with two wooden doors in the middle. At the top of the wooden wall, some bandits in cotton clothes are patrolling.

There are a lot of wooden houses in the valley, smoke coming out of the chimneys on the roof, and the weather is cold, and there is no movement outside.

In the northernmost wooden house, several figures sat around a campfire.

"Lord Lanlot, as soon as winter begins, few caravans pass through here. Moreover, this year's winter is relatively long, which should last for more than four months, and we currently have enough supplies to last until spring. ”

Daisy looked at the handsome young man in front of her with some admiration.

Since Lanlott became the leader, they quickly defeated a dozen bands of thieves around them, and now the Black Axe Thieves are a large group of more than two hundred thieves. Some time ago, under the leadership of Lanlot, they plundered several large caravans, and also defeated the team sent by the lord of Dale Town in the west to exterminate them, accumulating a large amount of supplies.

"The town of Dale isn't huge, and that Baron Dorne doesn't have many men under him."

Beside him, a strong, bear-like man with a scarred face looked at Baal in awe. Their battle with Baron Dorne was not so much a victory as a one-sided massacre by Barr alone.

"After being defeated by us last time."

"He may ask the kingdom for help, or he may spend gold to ask the mercenary group to help. However, it is winter, they should not know where we are, and it is unlikely that we will attack. Scarface said.

"This winter, don't be idle, you must strengthen the training of the team, I don't want to be a group of soft eggs under my hands who can't even win the peasantry." Baal sat on the north side of the fire in armor, "When we are strong enough, we can slowly develop into a mercenary group." On the mainland, powerful mercenary groups can easily obtain fiefdoms. If there is a day, I promise you, you can all get knighthoods and become nobles. ”

Look closely.

Baal's armor was darker, its dark armor seemed to engulf the light of the flames around him, and his body was stronger, his muscles as hard as steel.

Recently.

He discovered a way to obtain the black substance.

That is killing, the more people killed, the stronger the person killed, the stronger the black matter in his body, and the more law information contained in it. To be free to move in and out of the world, what is needed is influence. And to increase influence, your own strength is extremely important.

Even if you commit suicide, you can get out of here.

But the law information contained in these black substances made him unwilling to give up, after all, the opportunity to comprehend the law was too precious, even more precious than those legendary-level items!

"Fiefdom! Aristocrat! ”

Everyone around the fire had a longing sparkle in their eyes.
