Chapter 69: Summoning the Knights
Tomorrow I will officially go to Sanjiang, so I'm going to modify the chapters and bugs that didn't go well in the front, including sorting out all the lines of these hundreds of thousands of words, pulling as much as possible, and then preparing to write about the final war in Wanghuo City.
So, just one chapter today, and start updating normally tomorrow.

In the long empty corridor, the oil lamps on the damp walls on both sides gradually went out, and all that remained was the luminous hedron instead of the original lamp, illuminating the endless corridor.
The scavenger stood by the door, a cold sweat oozing from his whole body, and he stared carefully at the place where the mist dissipated, not leaving his sight at all, because he knew very well that the elemental fluctuation had not been annihilated with the dissipation of the mist, and he couldn't figure out for a while whether this was a trap for a second-order mage. If it's a trap, I'm afraid I'll become the same as before when I go up on it, and now I'm very weak, not necessarily an opponent.
"What to do? Do you want to go up or not? As a full-fledged mage, the scavenger couldn't help but hesitate in the face of this strange and unknown battle, he was not good at fighting between mages, and always thought that he was mainly studying and learning thousands of mysteries. So the situation in front of me is just standing in place, carefully considering whether it is a trap or not.
"Wow~~"
The center of the dissipated mist suddenly condensed out of thin air a skull of Bai Sensen, and its entire head was condensed from the mist. The upper and lower jaws were like boundless black holes, and in an instant, they burst into a powerful wind, mixed with energy fluctuations and rushed around, this energy storm made the sweeper's face change, but he also felt that the strange fluctuations disappeared with the storm.
The scattered energy fluctuations caused all the spell enchantments on the top floor of the Mage Tower to be destroyed, and some rune arrays made of demonic stones burst out of a burst of blue light, quickly dimming and disappearing from their original abilities.
A certain room.
"Whew~~~"
Emil sat on a chair and touched a black crystal ball tightly with her delicate and soft hands, and the sudden wind of energy outside the room made Emile turn her head and pull the crystal bead away at the same time, planning what was going on outside.
After all, she had already completed the test of being promoted to a second-order mage apprentice two hours ago, and now she had only begun to construct the principle of attacking the spell shadow spider, and now that the isolation circle outside had been destroyed, which made the curious and very cautious emir have to pay attention, she picked up the dagger placed on the golden table, and a silver cross sword and opened the situation outside the door.
After opening the wooden door, Emir poked his head out and swept the situation on both sides of the corridor, and suddenly saw the charred black ash blowing from the ground, as well as the pungent smell remaining in the air, which couldn't help but make Emir frown, and a bad premonition rose in her heart, and she followed her gaze to see the mentor who came out of the laboratory, and said with a worried face: "Scavenger Mentor, what's going on here?" ”
"You've been affected too, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a lurking monster that escapes from the lab and destroys the entire barrier. ”
"I see." Emir was stunned, but she instinctively sensed that the whole thing was not so simple, there must be some hidden secrets in front of her, but her mentor didn't say it, and Emir, as a disciple, had no right to ask.
"Go back, hurry up and finish learning the shadow spider. Ten days are left on your birthday, and Grant will be there in person, and I hope you can show the strength of a second-order apprentice. The scavenger coughed and began to divert the subject. It's best to know about being given voodoo by a second-order mage, and it's better for others to not know.
The emir was stunned.
"Yes." She nodded sheepishly, closed the wooden door and began to enter the final study.
…………
What happened to the scavengers was just a small episode.
In the remaining ten days of the emir, not only was Grant busy learning spells from the mage's notes, but even Baron Albert quickly hurried the two knights' territories into the final battle preparation plan, for the other party to attack, he must be prepared, in addition to asking the viscount for help, he must also gather the maximum strength himself.
The clear blue sky, like an emerald without impurities, had no clouds at all, only a faint glow of sunlight shining through the entire ground and forest.
Greenwich Knights' Territory.
As early as after being attacked by the orcs before, there was still a panicked atmosphere in the territory, and many people did not dare to come out alone at night, and even on the periphery of the town, there were many heavy armored soldiers patrolling back and forth.
In a certain forest behind the town, there is a clear river running through the forest on both sides, and the river flows quietly, all of which are smooth pebbles under the river, and occasionally two small black fish twist their tails and go forward against the current.
A group of horsemen led their horses to feed water and rest by the river, they were wearing a silver shining armor, and a column of golden feathers was engraved on their chests, which was the unique family seal of the Hanmo family, and this group of knights in front of them was the cronies of the Baron, and they hurried overnight to the knights' territory, just because Albert himself was now two official knights.
On the edge of a large, straight and rough tree, Albert was clad in black fur and his hands were on the branches.
"Corion, your injuries are getting better. I have told the priest to come as soon as possible, and I reckon that one more day will be completely sufficient. Wolf, you're coming very quickly this time. ”
Albert stared at the two fierce-looking knights in front of him, these were the two official knights under him, and they were the top force in the entire Wanghuo City. And we have to rely on them for now.
"It's nothing, my recovery is strong, and it won't affect the battle at all in a short time, but I didn't expect those half-orcs to be so fierce, those few ordinary knight-level half-orcs at the peak level made orderly moves, and they should be elite troops." Corion's face was sickly pale, and the long brown hair on both sides was also missing a piece of hair on the left side due to the battle.
On the other side, Wolf didn't speak, but nodded: "I was ordered by my eldest brother to naturally rush here, but eldest brother, you need something important, let us come." ”
"Yes, the orcs may join forces with the war elves to attack Wanghuo City, and then I am afraid that they will directly advance straight, then I am afraid that we will all be swallowed up here."
"What, how is this possible." Crane and Wolf's faces changed drastically, their eyes showed a look of worry and horror, and their hearts couldn't help but beat fiercely, they knew very well that orcs were terrible and ferocious, they liked to eat human flesh the most, and if the civilians fell into their hands, it would be chilling to think about it.
"Well, this matter is just speculation, and I can't be sure for the time being, so I need you to stay ready for battle at the border of Wanghuo City. If necessary, a part of the soldiers will be drawn in advance to settle in Wanghuo City. But the population must not be allowed to panic. Albert said cautiously, knowing very well what this event meant.
