In the night, clusters of torches lit up the road along the way, the north wind was cold, blowing on the body like a knife, at this time it was close to the territory occupied by the demon beast legion, here is inaccessible, even the hunters will not come to such a dangerous place, and in the night, a horse galloped over, holding a small white flag in his hand, and shouted in a solemn voice: "Excuse me, is it Lord Gerald's team?"

"Exactly!"

Gerardzer stepped forward and said, "How's it going?"

"I'm not optimistic, Lord Alvin is waiting for you at the camp, I'll take you there, right?"

"Okay, lead the way. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The knight rode his horse and walked in the forefront, hunting with the banner in his hand, and galloped with everyone for nearly three miles, and then a large camp of the knight of light appeared in the jungle in front of him, and the stone wall was built with stones about four meters high, which was very simple, and the stone wall even leaked through the wind and light, and in the camp, there was a sound of neighing horses.

......

Everyone passed through a wooden door and entered the camp directly, and suddenly the cavalry who were originally resting in the camp walked out of the camp tent one after another, and many people looked at it with blazing eyes, focusing their eyes on a group of blood-colored castle students such as Luo Lan, Lin Ke, and Rodney, when the cavalry entered the depths of the camp, a huge white camp tent appeared in their eyes, obviously this was the big tent of the Supreme Commander.

"Huh~~~"

The old knight Gerald turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet and clamped it under his armpit, and said to Loran and the others behind him: "I'll go in for a while, you guys will wait for me outside." ”

"Yes, my lord!" everyone nodded in unison.

The old knight turned around and opened the curtain of the big tent and walked in, only to see that the tent was lit with candles, all bright, and on both sides stood a tired warrior with tired faces written on his face, and at the end, a middle-aged knight wearing the badge of a middle-rank heavenly knight stood up, stepped forward respectfully, and saluted with one arm across his chest: "Subordinate Elwin, see Lord Gerald!"

"Knight Elwin. ”

The old drunkard squinted his eyes and said, "You are the supreme commander of the field, so you don't have to salute me." ”

"Nope. ”

Alvin shook his head and said, "The knight level of the boss is higher than that of his subordinates, so his subordinates naturally have to salute, my lord, please sit down, and we will talk about what has happened these days." ”

"Hmm!"

Gerald turned and sat down at the small table next to Alwin, and immediately one of the attendants handed him a pot of freshly heated wine, and suddenly Gerald couldn't control the smell of the wine, licked his tongue, and said, "I'll take a sip first." ”

He picked up the flask and took a big sip of it, saying, "Elwin, say it!"

"Yes!"

Elwin looked respectful and said, "Half a month ago, a demon beast legion led by the three-headed seventh-order demon beast flame hyena attacked our camp deployed in Elad, and we lost almost more than half of our combat power in that battle, but fortunately, Lord Elko, the Knight of Light, arrived in time and defeated the three-headed flame hyena, saving us from the catastrophe of the total annihilation." ”

"Elco, that kid ......" Gerald squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Indeed, among the young generation of knights, he has the highest talent, but unfortunately, he has always been unwilling to be loyal to the Temple of the Goddess, so he has not been given the fire, otherwise with his talent and diligence, he may be one of the few young apocalypse in the Empire." ”

Alwyn nodded: "However, this Knight of Light can't stay in the camp forever, he single-handedly ran between the camps of the Knight of Light, the Barren Highlands and the Desperate Hills, and resolved the crisis again and again, but he was also exhausted, and his injuries in the battle continued to deteriorate, and finally said goodbye to his subordinates a few days ago and returned to the Knight of Light for treatment." ”

"Hey......"

The old drunkard gritted his teeth: "That kid ...... It should be the only Light Knight in the Knights of Light who is willing to come to the North and face the high-level demon beasts, right? The rest of the Light Knights ...... With all due respect, one by one, they were wise enough to protect themselves, for fear that they would lose their reputation in the hands of demon beasts, and it was precisely because of this that our war in the north would not make any progress, and it cost countless gold coins and manpower, but we were never able to completely defeat the demon beast army. ”

"Yes. ”

Erwin frowned: "The matter of the Bright Sect...... We shouldn't talk too much, my lord, but this time I'm talking about the Sky Gate. ”

"Oh?"

Gerard said, "Is that evil door open again?"

"Not really. ”

Alvin shook his head and said, "According to the speculation of his subordinates, including the two seventh-order flame hyenas, almost all of the demon beasts in the Snow Domain in the Northern Realm have entered the Star Source Continent from the gap in the Sky Gate over the years, and although the energy of the Sky Gate has fluctuated strongly recently, it has not been officially opened. ”

"That's good. ”

Gerald frowned: "As long as the Sky Gate is not officially opened, there will be no demon beasts above the eighth order to descend, if it really comes, I can't imagine what kind of disaster it is." ”

Not far away, an earth knight general gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, have you ever seen the scene of the opening of the Sky Gate?"

"I met once, and it was fifteen years ago. ”

Gerald picked up the wine jug, took a big sip again, and said: "At that time, I was still a first-level Heavenly Knight with strong blood, and I followed Andre the Apocalypse to the Sky Gate to complete the sealing mission, but our mission was completely unsuccessful, and the four eighth-order demon beasts descended together, and almost even Andre the Apocalypse was almost killed by the demon beasts, that battle ...... We lost tens of thousands of outstanding talents with the strength of the earth knights and above, and it was after that battle that the strength of our Bright Knights collapsed. ”

The Earth Knight's eyes were filled with a desire for the unknown, and he said, "The Gate of the Sky...... Is it really that scary?"

"yes. ”

Gerald smiled slightly, fell into the memories of the past, and said: "When the sky gate is opened, the heavens and the earth will be torn apart, under the sky gate, human beings will not be able to survive at all, and the distorted power of space will devour everything. ”

The earth knight was stunned and silent.

Alvin coughed and said, "Fortunately, it has been fifteen years since the last time the Sky Gate was opened, and the people on the Star Source Continent have also enjoyed a peaceful life for fifteen years, perhaps, this period will be longer. ”

"No, it won't. ”

Gerald looked at Alwyn deeply and said, "In the past few years, the Demon Beast Legion has become more and more active and has appeared more and more frequently, and even began to take the initiative to attack the Terran territory, which is not a good sign. ”

"What?"

Alwyn was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Excellency is ...... The Sky Gate is ready to move again?"

"Yes. ”

Gerald took a deep breath and said, "Behind the Sky Gate, that incomparably powerful force is starting to stir again, but this is not something we should care about, those people in the Temple of Goddesses, the Holy See of Light, and the Mystic Sea, they are the ones who are qualified to touch that power, and our mission is to stop the Demon Beast Legion and protect the people of the Empire from being killed by the Demon Beasts." ”

As he spoke, the old drunkard took another sip of wine and said, "Say, Lord Elwin, this time I was ordered to arrive at the battlefield with a thousand elite knights from the Scarlet Castle, and in addition, there are eight students of the elite battalion with extraordinary strength to help in the battle, what task do you have entrusted to us?"

"Recently, the activities of demon beasts have become more and more frequent, so please ask the boss to lead the department to help us guard the camp. ”

"Oh?"

Gerald raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Elwin, do you think I'm too old to be useful? ”

"Hahahaha~~~"

Alvin laughed awkwardly and said, "That's right...... In this case, there are indeed some tricky things to do here, if the adults are willing......"

"Needless to say. ”

Gerald stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "You are the commander of the legion, as long as Lord Alvin gives an order, Gerald and the knights led by him are willing to serve!"

"Good!"

Alvin also stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map hanging behind him, and said: "My lord, please see, this is the area where our camp is located, and just after the last demon beast attack, many demon beasts with not weak strength took advantage of the chaos to enter the rugged valley road on the east side of us, and we also sent cavalry teams to exterminate them, but most of them did not gain anything, or they just went and did not return, so ...... Please help us deal with the monsters in this valley road on the east side. ”

"Understood. ”

The old knight picked up the wine jug and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will lead my troops to set out to exterminate the demon beasts in the valley, please arrange our accommodation?"

"Okay, we've got your camp ready, come on, bring the boss over. ”

"Yes, sir!"

......

Outside the tent, Loraine, Lin Ke, Avril and the others had been waiting for a long time, shivering in the cold wind, until Gerald appeared, and they were relieved, for fear that the old drunkard would spend the night in the tent as soon as he was drunk.

"Let's go, let's go to our station!"

Gerard turned over his horse and led everyone towards the open space on the right flank of the camp, not far away, sure enough, the tents had been set up, and even the horse sheds had been set up, although it looked quite good, but it was still not optimistic, there were not many tents, dozens of people were crammed into one tent.

The old knight also seemed to realize this, coughed, and said, "Come on, vacate a tent, and let the people of the elite battalion live alone in the same tent." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Avril and Lin Ke looked at each other and smiled, and they were also relieved, it seemed that they didn't have to squeeze together with the group of stinky knights.
