184. Elite knights
Only elite knights recruited by the Duke's Son are fully armed and wear a full suit of armor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Only then will their body contours look uneven and angular.
And about these elite knights......
If the NPC characters in the 'Eternal Heart' have combat power ratings, the combat effectiveness of civilians and the 'Vicious Dog Gang' is considered level 1, and the ordinary soldiers of the Duke's Palace are level 2, then the combat power of the elite knights recruited by Richard is at least level 4.
In addition to being skilled and proficient in combat, these elite knights are also armed to the teeth, perverts with high defense, and are difficult to kill.
Roy, the Assassin of Level 4 'Comprehensive Training', encounters this kind of elite knight, there is no problem with one-on-one, one-on-two is a bit tricky, if he is entangled by three elite knights, there is no chance of winning, only to flee in the wilderness.
And fighting these elite knights, or even killing them has no benefit for the killer, the NPC characters in "Killing Machine" are different from those in ordinary online games, and there is no setting for explosive equipment props after death.
Therefore, when encountering this situation of elite knights blocking the way, the first choice of the night stalkers is to take a detour to avoid them, and only when there is no way to avoid them, will they fight them.
The character of Richard Garriman can only recruit knights, and has no control over the knights who are recruited, and these knights will only patrol the castle randomly according to their own will to protect the safety of the duke's son.
The reason why the Night Stalker went out of his way to teach Roy a 'listening and arguing' skill was to avoid the elite knights patrolling the castle.
The exit of the stairs is guarded by this elite knight, and if the night owl goes down like this, he will inevitably encounter the knight and a battle will break out.
"The situation on the second floor of the castle is unknown, and I don't know if there are any other knights nearby?"
The Night Stalker gave up his intention to confront the knight, returned to the bedroom where he had been hiding from the patrolling soldiers, and went straight to the window.
"That's all I have to do."
He took out the [Flying Hook] he had with him, hooked the hook on the edge of the window, then turned out the window sill, stepped on the outer wall of the castle with his foot, and moved it down little by little.
There is a risk that this method of going downstairs will be discovered by the patrol soldiers below and shot with bows and arrows, but the night stalkers would rather be shot with bows and arrows, after all, whether they can be shot or not is a probabilistic event, and it is really not cost-effective to waste time to engage those knights in real combat.
He quickly descended to the second floor of the castle and knocked open the hidden second floor window with his elbow.
Turning over and jumping into this room on the second floor, inside is the banquet hall of the castle, with a long table in the center, and there are many female maids in the banquet hall who are busy with their own work, and when they see the night owl suddenly turn in through the window, they all immediately scream and scatter.
For a while, the scene was a bit chaotic and noisy, so that the Night Stalker's 'Listening and Positioning' skill was unable to be activated.
"You despicable assassin, become a ghost under my sword!"
An elite knight who was patrolling outside the banquet hall, dressed like a canned fish, rushed into the banquet hall with a long sword, fully armed, only two eyes could be seen in the gap in his visor, and he shouted at the night owl with a loud urn.
"As long as you're dressed, you'd better catch up with me first."
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the night owl's mouth, ignoring the shouting knight, and ran out of the banquet hall into the corridor outside.
"I don't know how many knights this Survivor has recruited? Where is he hiding now? ”
"Shake off the chasing knight first."
He took advantage of his speed, ran to the next corner, and quickly ducked into one of the rooms as soon as he entered the knight's blind spot.
There were more than a dozen large barrels in this room, and the night owl quickly slipped into one of them, and after closing the lid, he activated the 'Listening and Argument' skill.
The echo circle representing the 'Tin Can' knight grew larger and larger, and the skill-enhanced hearing also allowed the night owl to clearly hear the knight's heavy gasps and cursing complaints.
"Damn it, where did you go? It's better to inform Lord Garriman first, so that he can get ready as soon as possible. ”
The echo circle wandered awkwardly in the hallway for a moment, then walked straight ahead.
The night owl judged the distance of the knight by the reduced scale of the echo circle, and when he felt safe, he crawled out of the barrel.
"He's going to find the duke's son now, and as long as I follow him, I should be able to find my target."
The night owl walked out of the room, followed the direction of the knight's walk, passed through several arches, and did not encounter any interrogating guards along the way, and the Duke's palace was guarded by elite knights, and those ordinary soldiers seemed to have been sent by the system to patrol the fjord city.
Eventually, he followed the Tin Can Knight to a place in the center of the castle that looked like an auditorium.
In the center of the auditorium was a high-backed chair studded with gems and gold, and a knight in full-body armor stood silently at the side of the high-backed chair.
On the high-backed chair sat a fat man wearing a white wig and a big belly, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, sitting half-lying, looking quite elegant and leisurely tasting the glass of red wine in his hand.
……
Richard Garriman played by ID: The head of the FFF regiment (referred to as the head of the regiment) sat comfortably on his 'throne', 'elegantly' holding a glass of red wine, and a tall and burly knight stood next to him.
"The feel of the medieval aristocracy is amazing."
Taking a sip of red wine, the head of the regiment hummed comfortably.
At this time, the 'Iron Pillar' (nickname given to this elite knight by the head of the regiment) that he had just recruited from the Knights' Guild pushed the door in with heavy steps, walked up to the leader and saluted: "Lord Duke, the assassins of the Brotherhood have broken into the Duke's Palace, please find a safe place to take shelter for a while, and wait for us to eliminate the assassins......
"Iron ...... Ahem, that Tisto. "The regimental commander almost called the knight 'Iron Pillar', but fortunately the moment he shouted it, he remembered that this guy's real name was 'Tisto'.
"Don't worry, I have your protection, and I don't need to worry about this kind of scum assassin at all."
The regimental commander did not take Tisto's reminder to heart, filled himself with another glass of wine, got up from his chair, and invited the knight; "Come on, come on, come and have two drinks with me."
Of course, the two knights waved their hands and refused, probably because it was now working time, and they did not drink alcohol during working hours.
The head of the regiment sat down on the high-backed chair again, and with a somewhat annoyed expression, he ripped off the wig above his head, put it on his fingers and swirled, and muttered in his mouth; "Damn, when do you have to recruit this task (the main quest of the Survivor will not clearly give the number of knights that need to be recruited), this iron pillar that I finally spent a lot of money to recruit from the knight's guild is a wooden and boring guy, and he doesn't listen to my orders, it's really boring."
"All the tax-paying soldiers of the Duke's Palace have been sent to Fiordland, and I don't know when they will return, do we have to have money to recruit knights? How can the people of this knight's guild be so powerful, my persuasion with great affection has not been able to impress any knight......"
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and suddenly he felt that the atmosphere in the auditorium was very oppressive, so he got up from his position, raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the auditorium, wanting to go to the back garden on the first floor of the castle.
Tisto, who had retreated to the side, immediately stepped forward and persuaded: "My lord, there is danger outside, it is safer for you to stay here." ”
"It's okay, with your protection, what can happen."
The regimental commander did not care, and the leader walked towards the gate, and the two knights had to follow behind him, one left and one right.
But just as the three of them were about to walk less than two or three meters away from the gate, a white figure suddenly appeared from behind one of the closed wooden doors in front of them.
The head of the regiment was reminded by Tisto just now, and he had actually taken precautions in his heart, but now he was frightened by the sudden jumping figure, and the sense of fear was reduced a lot, but the panic was real, so he couldn't even see the appearance of the person who came, so he screamed too deeply into the play.
"Escort, come and escort!"
