"When anything becomes a habit, you experience excitement, numbness, and disgust at the beginning, and the same goes for killing......"

- Leo Chang

On the frozen and cracked road on the winter night, from far to near, there was a continuous dull tapping sound, and the stiff and dry clods of earth rose and fell from time to time with the rhythm of the tapping

In the dark forests on both sides of the road, several elderly lone wolves who came out at night to forage for food first listened to the direction from which the sound came from with alert ears, and then as if they felt something terrifying, they let out a hoarse low cry and quickly clamped their tails and heads and did not return to the depths of the deep forest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Rubbing his cheeks, which were numb by the cold wind, Sean, who was sitting behind a punishment knight, first lowered his head and looked down with some uneasiness, and the front hooves of the unicorn riding on his body outside the master slashed the ground desperately, shaking his slender neck and letting out a disgusted snort from his mouth and nose

Tightening the wide cotton robe from a certain knight, Sean put a flattering smile on his face, rubbed his hands and said to Leo, who had also stopped in front of him

"Gracious lord, we can see the baron's castle by climbing the hill not far ahead, shall we rest here, though it is better than you and your knights......"

Sean said half of his words were blocked by a raised palm, Leo who put down his palm took out a delicate silver kettle from the hanging bag on Keeley's back, raised his head and took a big sip, the cold red wine liquid went down the throat to the stomach, Leo couldn't help but shiver, and then the heat of the alcohol volatilized made the body that was also frozen and stiff quickly warm up

Turning his head to look at the knights who were doing similar actions, Leo nodded, the benefits of having a system are now apparent, but I don't know if I can still enjoy the convenience of the system if I recruit local soldiers in the future.

After retracting his mind and not thinking about the distance, he casually put the flask into the hanging bag, and Leo motioned for Finn behind him to step forward

"My dear captain, commanding the battle is too difficult for me right now, and I think that the next battle will trouble you and Commander Kane." For his knight captain, Leo didn't hide anything, and said it bluntly.

Patting his mount dotingly, Finn bowed slightly on his horse

"As you wish, my lord, in fact, the war of knights is not that complicated, in many cases, it mainly depends on the knights' own strength and tacit understanding with each other, in this regard, I can proudly tell you that your Knights of Punishment are the strongest!"

"Very well, I never doubt this, so please make arrangements with Head Keith." After speaking, Leo controlled Killy to take a few steps forward, looked at the already slightly lit sky, and listened attentively, and from the other side of the hillside, he could faintly hear the intermittent sounds of fighting and screaming

"Good news, it seems that the poor baron is still holding on."

"Merciful sir, don't you really need your knight to take a break before joining the battle?" Leo, who was sighing alone, came Sean's somewhat apprehensive words from behind him, and God knows how much courage this poor man mustered up to make a second reminder.

After calmly refusing again, looking at Sean who was a little speechless, Leo couldn't help but be a little funny, what are you kidding, four basic attributes 100, all combat skills max, one-handed, two-handed, long-handled, and throwing weapons proficient 800 Punishment Knights

Need a break after just a midnight drive? What's more, it took so long because Sean, who was the guide, was not familiar with the route, and because he had to pass through a large woodland, otherwise it would not take an hour to reach it at full speed.

At this time, the 50 knights of the Knights of the Order of Punishment behind Leo were also ready after the whole team of Finn and Keith, and all the knights buckled their helmets and carefully checked the connecting gaps and buckles of the armor

The one-handed sword and two-handed sword that were not used for the time being were all carried in the most convenient position, the shield was tightly clasped in the left arm, and the rifle was held high in the right hand

Finely woven with metal wires doped with mythril and steel, the horse armor covers the whole body from the head, leaving only the eyes and the space of the unicorn at the top, which is enough to protect the unicorn from some weapons that are not sharp enough.

Except for Finn, who had four other knights holding Leo's banner high and standing behind him for close protection, all the other 45 knights lined up in a standard wedge formation with Keith as an arrow

It has strong penetrating power and good steering and maneuvering, and the family flag of the Gattenron, a shield icon with a golden background, is also on top of the Keys riding spear.

The whole team suddenly became solemn and indifferent, and Leo also bowed slightly after seeing Keith, who was the arrow, slamming him and Finn into his chest, and first drove Keeley to the top of the hill, and behind him, the Knights of Punishment who followed him silently into battle.

From the hillside, the outline of the Baron Castle can be vaguely seen about two kilometers away, and it should be the most tragic place of the battle, after all, most of the roars and shouts of killing come from there

A few hundred meters away from the castle near Leo and the others, a camp was casually fenced off by tree trunks and fences, which should have been improvised by the rebels, and from inside the camp came the cries of women and children from time to time, as well as loud shouts and curses, and at a cursory glance, there were roughly hundreds of people, and it should be civilians captured by the rebels in the surrounding villages.

In the direction of the camp facing the castle, a man on horseback could be vaguely seen leading dozens of followers to stand in the distance, and Leo thought that this should be the renegade knight and the so-called elite of the rebel army in Sean's mouth

After all, he had also experienced a big battle in the game, and looking at the mess on the other side, Leo was not in the mood to do anything pre-war agitation, so he only summoned Keith, who led the team, to his side and asked

"Keith, can you keep the captured civilians as much as possible when charging, you know, our Stormwind City needs a lot of people right now, many, many!"

Hearing this, Keith looked at Leo with a meaningful look for a moment, and then replied with a grim smile, "First of all, please allow me to use this title as well, merciful lord!" Case's amusement was a little funny, and he straightened his face and continued

"My lord, I think our members will be happy to follow a caring lord, although it may be a little delayed, but this is not a problem for us, everything is as you wish, my lord!"

After thinking about it, Keith said with some hesitation, "But my lord, if you want to use your own strength to save more people in this dark age, with all due respect, your strength and influence are still a little weak, and you need to live on the road to strength and go further." ”

With that, Keith bowed and returned to the group with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a moment, feeling a hand gently resting on his shoulder, Leo turned his head in confusion to see the same smiling face of Finn

"Your Excellency, you don't need to worry about this, Keith, Anthony, and me, we all believe that adults can make this world a better place, and we will also bet on the honor of knights, and we will follow you in life and death! But now, the lads are still waiting for your orders, my lord? ”

yes, with such strong and loyal friends to follow, what else should I worry about? Slowly drawing the paladin's sword and swinging it at the rebels below the hillside, Leo shouted with his breath

"Knights of Discipline, attack!"

"For honor!!" The sound of neat metal knocking came from behind him, and a torrent of steel slowly drove past Leo and the others, and then faster and faster, faster and faster......
