Behind the stone door appears to be a fairly wide circular stone chamber. Julian and Dante, who were holding torches, entered the stone chamber and circled the field, but did not find any traps or sense the aura of hostility, so he sent a safe signal to let the five people waiting outside in.

Under the light of two torches, the stone chamber instantly brightened. It was evident that the stone chamber was well isolated, it was very clean, there were no cobwebs, and there were no disgusting giant cockroaches, however, to the confusion of the crowd, there was no entrance or exit to the stone chamber except for the stone door they had just entered, and there were nine arched hollows in the walls around it, and in each hollow stood a life-size statue of a knight, and nothing else.

"Miss, are we in the wrong place? Are you sure this is the tomb of the first emperor?" asked Julian.

"It should ...... You can't go wrong. Ipeia carefully examined the walls and statues around her, finding nothing out of the ordinary, and she checked the floor and dome again, but found nothing. "It's strange, there is neither a magic array nor magic items here, so where does the huge magic come from?" In the face of this unreasonable situation, even with Ipeiya's ingenuity, she couldn't think of a reason for a while, but it made her believe that the path she was leading was not wrong.

Just when everyone was at a loss, something unexpected happened, the stone gate weighing thousands of kilograms closed on its own without warning, and the heavy sound of smashing the ground caused a shaking of the stone room, and the floor shook, which also made everyone realize an extremely unfortunate thing: their only way out had been sealed.

"Oops! it's a trap!" Exclaimed LaMillie reflexively.

But what scares her, no, is yet to come. Because the powerful magic power that he had been perceiving since just now suddenly increased several times for unknown reasons, and a strong swirl of magical power was generated around Ipeia and the others, and then spread around.

"Buzz ......"

The eyes of a stone statue of a knight suddenly glowed with a ghostly blue light, and then the stone statue walked down from its sleeping hollow with its stone tomahawk in its hand, as if it had suddenly come to life.

However, there was not only one stone statue that "woke up", and the remaining knights opened their dark blue eyes one by one, as if they were awakened by something, and walked down the hole one after another, surrounding the seven humans who had invaded the stone chamber in the center.

"What the hell is going on, Miss, this is different from what you said. Sensing the danger around him, Julian asked Ipeia for confirmation.

"I don't know why the concubine is like this, I just follow the method handed down by the ancestors of the royal family. Apparently Ipeia couldn't give Julian a reasonable explanation.

"Is there something wrong?" Dante thought of another possibility.

As they spoke, the knight's statue drew closer and closer, close enough to bring the crowd within range of their weapons.

"I'll talk about it later, these guys are going to attack!" shouted the "Riverside", who felt the burning eyebrows.

"Protect Your Highness the Princess!" the three Fernández sisters hurriedly protected Ipeia behind them, and at the same time shouted a word of liberation, summoning their respective subordinate beasts.

"Hooring" - there is no superfluous movement, as soon as the stone statue gets close enough to attack, it does not hesitate to raise its weapon and rush towards the crowd.

Julian and Dante's master and servant wielded their long swords to resist on the periphery, the three monsters of the Wind Harrier, the Fire Lin Python, and the Shadow Leopard were deployed in the middle row to defend against the enemy, and the "Riverside Man", who was seriously injured and unable to engage in hand-to-hand combat, also supported with bows and arrows in the back of the middle row, and the three sisters Ipeia and Fernandez were in the center of the formation.

"These ...... Stuff, in the end...... What is the origin?"

Julian, who at first thought that these stone statues were clumsy, found himself wrong, although they were made of hard stone, they were as soft and flexible as a human body, and the blade of a sword slashed at them felt extremely hard, no different from slashing into real rocks, and when it came to attacking, these stone statues were not undisciplined, they were all using advanced martial arts. Attack, defense, agility, the trinity, these stone statues have almost no weaknesses, and Julian and Dante are in a bitter battle as soon as they start fighting.

The three demonic beasts tried their best to kill frantically, and carried a lot of magic power for Julian's master and servant, but whether they used pure physical attacks or additional magic attacks, they couldn't shake these stones for half a point, if it weren't for the powerful regeneration ability obtained by making a contract with the host, I'm afraid these three demonic beasts would have been beaten into pulp.

As for the "Riverman", his sharp bow and arrows could shoot through the thick armor with ease, but it could not inflict the slightest damage on the bodies of these rocks.

However, Ipeia was quite calm, she did not immediately plunge into the battle, but carefully observed the enemy's condition, looking for any possible weakness.

"Earl Stark of the Silver Wolf ...... former Legion Commander of the Cherry Red Desert, Chiomidi...... The Empire's No. 1 Marksmanship Instructor Maoris ...... Marshal Clark...... The Nileland of the Captain of the Guard, "Red Eye...... Grand Duke Roman...... the strongest knight of the Empire," Ipeia observed as she recited some unexplained names and titles.

When she read "Grand Duke Roman," Julian was horrified and blurted out, "What! Grand Duke Roman?"

When Julian was a child, his father took him to the Grand Duke of Roman's house to propose marriage, wanting to make a baby kiss with the little girl of the other family, but the Grand Duke of Roman refused on the grounds that Julian was not a knight, which made Julian decide to go to the Paladin Training Camp on Key Island to be trained as a knight of the Church, which changed his life forever, so Julian was quite sensitive to the name "Grand Duke Roman".

"That's right, the one on your right is Archduke Roman. Ipeia responded.

Julian's body was startled by the empress's reminder, and he dodged the two-handed heavy sword slashed from his right hand, and as he turned, he met the attacking stone statue. I saw that this stone statue was a young man about 30 years old, and it didn't match the image of the stubborn old man in his impression.

"This is what Archduke Roman looked like when he was younger. Ipeia added.

At this time, among the 9 stone statue knights, the only female knight was fighting with Dante, this female knight used a slender stabbing sword, the speed of the sword was as fast as the wind, Dante, who became famous for the "fast sword", actually had no room to resist under her attack, and multiple blood holes that were stabbed appeared in her shoulder.

"Be careful, Mr. Dent, Lady Sofua was the most outstanding female knight in the Empire more than twenty years ago, and if she hadn't died young, I'm afraid it would have upset the current ranking of Imperial knights. Ipeia reminded.

At this time, even the "Riverside Man" recognized one of the statues: "Is this the 'Tiger of the South' General Menavino? Isn't he guarding the gates of the southern part of the empire?"

In fact, Julian had seen or heard of most of the names just mentioned, but in his impression, those people were very famous knights among the elders, most of whom had died, and those who were still alive were very old, and the faces of these stone statues were young men in their twenties and thirties, and it was difficult to associate them with those elders.

"Good!" Ipeia smiled for the first time in a long time, "The concubine should be able to know the weaknesses of these stone statues. ”
