Chapter 252: The Dark Knights
Tracing the lights, Charles, who was keenly aware, noticed that the scene in his field of vision suddenly rippled, and the whole space seemed to be wrinkled by the wind.
Immediately afterward, the bright light spread all over the field of vision, and more than a hundred black knights, including Charles and the female blood, ran farther and farther away on the wasteland in the blazing light, and finally disappeared.
And at the same time, on the outskirts of Sussar.
The field, which had just been eroded by the storm two days ago, was still muddy. The country roads are dotted with sinkholes, and the rut marks left by horse-drawn carriages are deeply embedded in the road, and there are a few small tadpoles or some floating insects swimming in them, making ripples in circles.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves resounded in the suburbs, and more than a hundred knights riding black heavy war horses poured out from the ripples of space and galloped towards the ancient capital on the horizon.
"Lord Ronβ"
The female knight Lilis, who put away the magic lamp and walked in parallel with Charles and the female blood, said loudly as she grabbed the reins, "Please give the battle order immediately." β
"In half an hour, we will be able to reach the city of Susar."
"Slow down, camp and hide first, and then move at night." Charles didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice: "A hundred elite dark knights can't break through Susar's city walls, let alone make much trouble during the day. β
"As followers of the King of Darkness, we need to know how to use the darkness and let it exacerbate the negative emotions in people's hearts. These negative emotions will weaken their combat effectiveness, and on the contrary, we will become stronger. β
"Good!" The female knight Lilis clamped the horse's belly heavily with her legs. Surpass the many Templars leading the way.
Under the guidance of a female knight. The team deviated from the trail in the suburbs. Head towards the hilly area southwest of Susar.
Midday.
In a dense forest not far from the town of Eagle Peak.
The Dark Knights had cut down trees and thorns in the woods to clear enough clearing to camp in a tent shared by three or four knights, and roughly counted, there were nearly thirty tents in the glade.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The busy voice was still coming out, probably seven or eight burly knights after all. At the very edge of the camp, a freshly made wooden fence was smashed into the earth with stones, and beyond the fence other knights were holding sacks of burlap that emitted a strange smell, and sprinkling dust on the ground covered with dead leaves.
Charles and Mahi stood in front of the camp's tent, very idle.
"It's worthy of the elite Dark Knights...... "Charles couldn't help but praise their efficiency as he looked at the group of temple professionals with a clear division of labor and their own duties.
It's hard for other players to believe that this field camp was set up in just a quarter of an hour, and the charr didn't contribute much to it. Let Lilith and her knights play.
He believed that just one order went down. It wasn't difficult for the Dark Knight to build a few arrow towers in one night.
Another team out hunting gradually walked back from the gloomy foliage in the distance.
Leading the group was Lilis, who carried a giant boar twice her size on her shoulder, several other bow-wielding hunters were also in good hands, and even a dark knight dragged the carcass of a wild bear like a hill at the back of the group.
The Charles, of course, had kept an eye on the Dark Knights' ranks.
Captain Lilis, Warrior Lv10/Templar Lv5.
The other Dark Knight's career templates are probably the same, and there are many knights who are 2-3 levels higher than Lilith's career level, close to the exemplary level.
On the basis of the professional template, every Templar Knight, including Lilis, has an "elite" enhancement template, and the actual combat effectiveness during combat is increased by at least 30%.
This part of the increase includes stats, defense, and attack abilities.
Lilith was not able to become the leader of this group of Templar Knights, and it was not because of Isaac's blessing, and when Charles observed her character cards, he noticed that her charisma attribute was particularly high, and nine times out of ten she mastered leadership skills and expertise.
With his head down in thought, he walked back to his tent, sat on the blanket with his legs bent, and stared at the purple quest he had received in the quest panel:
"[Susar β Confusion and Fear (End)] is underway."
[Explanation]: The summoning ceremony has reached a critical moment, and Isaac has abandoned his chess pieces just to distract Susar. He clearly felt the pressure from the legendary Caladnay. When activating the God of Thieves' Relic, you can see yourself as a member of the dark forces and lead the Knights to help Isaac as much as possible. Of course, you can also stand firmly on the side of the light and let Isaac's plan abort. β
"[Objective]: None."
"[Mission Time Limit]: None.
"Note that this mission has a two-sided speciality, players should find their own position to complete the mission, and the system will reward players according to their performance at the end of the main story of Susar."
No doubt.
The Charles must be on Susar's side. Leaving aside the universal theory that evil cannot prevail over good and darkness cannot defeat light, in his opinion, Isaac's plan is very, very stupid and almost impossible to succeed.
The reason is simple. Susar not only has the legendary Karadnay, but also another demigod mage hiding behind the scenes, and it can be said that if it were not for the catastrophe that swept the entire continent, it would be difficult for Cormier to face a real crisis of annihilation.
But regardless of the overall situation, Charles, as a player, thinks more about his own affairs.
In this situation, he is nominally the leader of a hundred dark knights, but the actual controller is the female knight Li Lisi. Charles knew that when faced with a life-or-death decision, his words would certainly not carry as much weight as Lilis.
Not to mention that after leaving the half-plane and getting the fragment of the holy sword 'Durandal' from Isaac, everything doesn't matter. The Relic Fragment was just an unexpected bonus, and the Charr himself was focused on, after all, in this campaign series of missions. He fought for the 'Compass of Destiny' that could last and that could be rewarded.
"I'm on the side of the light, how can I use this Dark Knights?" That's where Charr's distress lies.
The heart is in the light.
but in darkness.
Charles could imagine what a terrible brawl he would have if he appeared in Susar. There are aboriginal professionals among them, and there are an infinite number of players.
"There will definitely be no return for the team to Susar."
"And if you don't go to Susar, how can you make the most of this Dark Knights?"
After sitting in the dimly lit tent for a long time, Charles's frowning brow gradually relaxed as he thought.
"That's it!" Charles slammed his fist on the blanket, his face a little excited. (To be continued......)
