Teams are assigned.

The stone gates that open separately enter the corresponding passage of the Toad Palace.

In the blink of an eye, the hall was back to its original state.

There are no stone doors between the walls...... Or rather, the [32] passage itself was created in an alternative way, through the chaotic treasure given to Marytis, the "Stone of Ecstasis".

The aim was to completely separate the Order.

What awaits the different squads of knights will be to fall into the trap carefully laid out by Marithia.

Of course, even if the additional treaty is not accepted, forcibly destroying the Toad Palace will still fall into a trap...... There was another reason why a treaty was added temporarily to split the knight company.

Then.

Between the pus flowing from the toad statue, a pure jade Mary thread slowly emerged, and a swollen tongue full of pustules and small holes stretched out from the hair that covered her face, licking between the damp curls.

"The most troublesome Assassin didn't follow the young knight, and that's fine...... Although the later knight was more troublesome, it was not the worst case scenario.

Absorb a few weak knights first to improve my physical condition.

Then find another opportunity to dispose of the knights around this kid in one go, and capture him alive before the Lord...... If he really has something to do with the Necronomicon and gives such a gift, I will be blessed like never before.

It's so close to mythology......"

……

Toad oil ignited in the passage.

The Asamo Knight, who was strong enough to fill the passage almost alone, walked at the forefront.

Abel clinged to the shaman's back.

The two often talk to each other, and the relationship seems to be very good.

Asamo. Born as a shaman due to the origin of the family, the Thundercaller knew some basic shamanic sorcery before entering the destiny space, and could attract thunder and lightning by chanting spells in certain circumstances.

During the apprenticeship knighthood, he majored in [Control].

Asamo perfectly combines the attributes of the shaman and the beast, holds the bear soul and cultivates a body comparable to that of a giant bear, combining the most primitive power of the shaman's heavenly thunder with his own fighting style.

He is an irascible shamanic warrior.

Of course, because it is related to lightning.

Asamo would also glance at Demps in the middle of the line from time to time...... It seems that a different kind of source of lightning can be felt in Temple's body.

Mia naturally followed Han Dong closely throughout the whole process.

Even if there are two powerful knights joining, in Mia's eyes, Han Dong is still the most reliable.

Various bone pieces have been grasped in their hands, ready to unleash bone sorcery to protect themselves.

Han Dong looked leisurely here, and took advantage of the free time he spent walking in the passage to try to have an in-depth conversation with the bard, whom he had never met, and learn some information in advance...... In the Battle of Lakeside, Han Dong made up his mind to pull this senior into his plan.

I'm not floating ♪~

The world is spinning, I read ♪~

My history, like a night watchman ♪~

Joy and mystery, with an incomprehensible attraction ♪~

The poetic singing resounded in the passages, which not only made everyone feel refreshed, but also detected the passages through the rhythm.

"Thank you, Meredith-senpai."

Meredith always had a good-natured smile on her face, "Nicholas...... Since you are the person that Captain Hugo values, even if you don't say it, I will protect you as much as possible.

However, you seem to be deliberately hiding something, I wonder if it's my delusion. ”

Han Dong was also taken aback by Meredith's words.

To be reasonable, from Han Dong's subjective point of view, he played a standard salted fish throughout the whole process, and he never showed superfluous desires.

"I guess it's an illusion of my predecessors...... I just wanted to conserve my strength, so I didn't take off everyone's hind legs at a critical moment, so I basically didn't do anything before entering the Toad Palace. ”

Meredith did not reply, and continued to hum a ditty.

Unusually lengthy channels.

Han Dong and his entourage walked between the passages for more than five hours.

He even suspected that skirmishes had broken out in other areas, and his side finally saw the end.

"Finally...... Where does such a long passage lead? ”

When the cold iron door at the end of the passage was opened, it was neither the secret room of a certain Toad Palace, nor the lord's bedroom.

【Backyard】

A rectangular backyard area.

Moreover, the top of the Toad Palace, which is obviously built in a cave at the bottom of the lake, should be sealed...... The top of the backyard corresponds to the sky, and it is not some kind of phantom stone, but the real sky.

The side shows that the entire Toad Palace has shown a state of chaos under the blessing of the title deed and chaotic treasures.

In the backyard the size of half a football field, four strange statues stand in various corners.

Curiously, the statue has little to do with the toad in appearance, corresponding to:

1. Snake Cultists with Hooks,

2. Amorphous morphology, black groups with both an obsidian shell and a pus structure,

3. A giant savage covered with pus, dressed in a snakeskin coat, and holding a toad sledgehammer.

4. Dark bats with fangs on their faces and beaded bodies with eyes on their wings,

They don't seem to be exactly the people of the Toad Palace, but for some reason they are related to the Toad Ancestor and are guarding the alien demons here...... Even though it is still only in the form of a stone statue, it still exudes an aura similar to that of [Mature Body-Alien Demon].

Judging by the breath, each attribute is different.

But

Compared to these strange stone sculptures, Han Dong's attention was drawn deeper...... Through the layers of moisture, I saw the entrance to a cave sealed with an inscription boulder.

A trace of yin breath is constantly overflowing through the cracks in the stone.

"Sure enough...... Due to the problem of the little devil's eye, part of the target of [Toad Ancestor] was transferred to me.

The cavern behind the boulder should belong to the area outside of the campaign.

If my guess is correct, it corresponds to the nest where the toad incarnates inhabit. ”

Han Dong hurriedly met the field of vision with Demps in front of him and made eye contact.

After getting Demps's 'convinced' look, Han Dong was also relieved here...... If he is really found by Toad Zu, even if Han Dong's mark is invalid, Demps still has the [Mother] security card hidden in the shadows.

That's when it happened.

Grunt~

The lawn area in the center of the backyard is transformed into a pool of water.

One stepped on a toad...... To be exact, it should be that the lower body is fused with the toad, and the humanoid life shrouded in the cloak slowly emerges.

This person was the messenger who signed the "Battle Book" with the expeditionary force at the lake.

When the messenger appeared, the moisture in the backyard immediately increased.

As a result, the stones on the surface of the statue disintegrate layer by layer, revealing the alien demons hidden inside.

A full five Mature-Body Aliens, if measured by the strength of the Crimson Count, is equivalent to fighting 5.5 Crimson Counts at the same time...... And also in a humid environment that is favorable to the other party.

If the other knight squads come to the backyard, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.

Asamo, the shaman standing at the front, did not look good, and wrapped a bandage around his palm and axe handle to prevent him from getting out of his hands in the ensuing battle.

"Five...... And two of them are already showing some signs of atavism. Fighting separately, or in a joint confrontation? ”

Han Dong immediately gave his opinion, "We are not very familiar with the two seniors, and we are not very easy to cooperate.

It seems that this group of aliens has lived together for hundreds of years, and it is better to be separated. ”

"Hmm...... Pick and choose your target! ”
