"Lorain......

His voice trembled a little, perhaps because it was too cold.

Avril looked at him with beautiful eyes and said, "Have a good night's rest." ”

Then she didn't say anything, just folded her arms around her knees, and sat quietly in a corner of the fence, her back to the fence, her eyes constantly sweeping over the group of children.

Luo Lan also sat quietly in a corner, he gradually understood in his heart what Avril wanted to do, she was observing, looking for her helper, only a child with enough strength and courage could help her escape together, although the probability of this is very low, after all, Gray is a big knight, and his strong strength is there, and several servants are also surging with star source power, at least a first-order star source power cultivator, ordinary people can't fight at all.

And among this group of children, Luo Lan only felt the fluctuation of the star source power in Avril, and it was very strong, it seemed that she had at least reached the level of second-order star source power, but she had obvious injuries on her arms and neck, and she should have been caught here by Gray after resisting, and she had already paid a terrible price.

......

Night.

There is only the hunting cold wind over the bamboo forest, and a wisp of cold wind blows through the bamboo fence and blows on the children's bodies, making them shiver from the cold, and many children have huddled together to keep each other warm, otherwise someone will freeze to death.

At some point, when Loren opened his eyes, he found Avril sitting next to him, snuggling up to him.

"You ......"

He was amazed.

Avril's beautiful eyes were full of calm, and she said in a very low voice: "If you don't want to be frozen to death, just hug me." ”

"Oh......"

Lorain opened his arms and poured Avril into his arms, but his heart was full of complicated feelings, this hug was really like a hug before death, mutual support between two weak people, and at the same time, it was also a kind of mutual use.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a noisy sound in the distance, and there were even people's shouts and screams-

"It's not good, the monsters are infested, hurry up, organize defenses!Knights, pick up your long swords!"

", the demon beasts are not all suppressed between the mountains of the Northern Regions, how can they appear in the territory of the empire. ”

......

"What, the monster appeared?"

A group of children woke up, and Lorain also raised her head, and then looked into her arms, only to see Avril open her eyes, there was no trace of panic in her beautiful eyes, on the contrary, she seemed to have regarded the appearance of the demon beast as an opportunity.

"Damn it!"

Gray suddenly walked out of the tent, pulled out his sword with a "clang", and his body was surging with strong star source power, and said: "Servant, take care of the prey, I'll go and see what kind of demon beast dares to attack the camp of the Knights of Light!"

"Yes, sir!"

However, not far away, a low roar suddenly exploded, and I saw a one-man tall beast appear in the moonlight, like a giant wolf, covered in cyan hair, mucus flowing from its fangs, a pair of eyes with a greedy glow, the hair all over the body stood upside down, and the claws carried the breath of demonic ye, and suddenly a low roar flew in, the speed was fast, and a "poof" fell, and directly bit one of Tuka's servants to the head and shoulder!

"Brute!"

Tuka shouted violently, and the sword came with a skillful sword, and the star source power continued to burst from the palm of the hand into the long sword, turning into a cold storm, and roared: "Storm Slash!"

"Peng!"

The storm slashed at the giant wolf, but only saw a piece of fur, and the next second the giant wolf roared, and the claws slapped horizontally on Tuka's shoulder armor, "Peng", and even people and horses directly slapped it and rolled it over in the bamboo forest, quite embarrassed, how terrifying the power of this claw, even Tuka, who was a big knight, was shocked by a blow.

"Bastard!"

Greeze came on horse, with a low roar, the star source power in his left hand exploded, sweeping through his body endlessly, and he shouted: "God's protection!"

God's Blessing, a combat technique of the Knights of Light, uses the power of the star source to make itself more generous, and can greatly improve its own strength and defense ability, and Gray has successfully cultivated this combat skill, and it is obviously above Tuka in terms of cultivation, a sword burst out of the air, and the blood splashed with "poof", directly splitting a blood mark on the neck of the giant wolf.

"Roaring ......"

The giant wolf roared, his hair stood upside down, wisps of cyan demonic aura swirled, and the next moment, wisps of invisible storm directly bombarded Gray, the explosion of "fluffy peng" was endless, the wind blade cut on the armor and starlight body, Gray was also strong, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, but he still flew forward and roared: "Die!"

The star source power of both arms surged, penetrating into the long sword, and with a "poof" sound, it pierced through the eyes of the cyan giant wolf, penetrating through the skull, and in the next second, the cyan giant wolf fell to the ground, frantically kicked on all four legs, and stopped moving in a blink of an eye.

"Huhuhu......"

Gray took a few steps back, and fell to the ground, his face covered in blood from the wind blade, and his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, several other knights rushed over, one of them turned over and dismounted, glanced at the corpse of the giant wolf, and frowned: "It's a second-order demon beast, a storm wolf, fortunately there are only three, all of them have been killed by us, Lord Gray, you are lucky, you are worthy of the knight named by Lord Luke, you can actually kill a second-order demon beast alone, I am afraid that your strength is not much different from the earth knight." ”

Gray's eyes were solemn, and he said: "I didn't expect that the footprints of the demon beasts have extended to the interior of the empire, it seems that the battlefield in the north is indeed not optimistic, my lords, let's set off as soon as dawn, and arrive at the Scarlet Castle as soon as possible to resume our lives, I am afraid that in the next period of time, the Bright Sect will have a new task for us." ”

"Well, yes!"

......

Inside the fence, Luo Lan witnessed everything Gray killed the storm wolf, his face turned slightly pale, he could feel how strong the storm wolf was, even ordinary people may not be the opponent of a storm wolf, but Gray actually killed this storm wolf at the cost of minor injuries, his star source power and combat skills are unimaginable.

On the side, Avril had clear eyes, quietly looked at Gray in the distance, and said nothing, while the servants on one side held the sword in their hands and looked at the children quietly, so that Avril easily opened his clenched palm soon after, giving up the plan to escape this time, the opportunity has been missed, if he breaks out of the siege at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape from the palm of a group of knights.

And Luo Lan didn't want to escape at this time, he wanted to know more about the purpose of the Knights of Light to kidnap so many teenagers, and he also wanted to know if he had another way to become stronger, strong enough to be able to slash a strong enemy like Gray.

......

In the early morning, the fog rises and the jungle feels wet.

At Gray's order, the servants boiled a pot of broth again, and then baked a dough cake for each of the boys, and then set out again, and all of them were again blindfolded, tied their hands, and thrown directly on their horses, each of which carried two or three teenagers, and set out on the road again.

The only sound was the sound of horses' hooves, and the metal of the knights' scabbards rubbing against their armor.

Loran crouched on horseback, couldn't see anything, could only judge everything by hearing, and vaguely knew from the chats of the knights that the destination of this trip was called the Scarlet Castle, and the specific place was called the Scarlet Cage, no one knew what kind of place it was, and even Loran had grown so big, and he had heard many legends from the outside world from the bard and Mr. Elco, he knew the legend of the Apocalypse, knew the sacred fire scattered on the continent, and knew some anecdotes of heroes, but only this Scarlet Cage was unheard of。

It seems that all the children are the same, no one knows where they are going, all they know is their own fate.

I just stopped and walked for two days.

By the afternoon of the third day, the sound of the horses' hooves had become crisp, and the road had ceased to be so bumpy, indicating that the knights' squad had left the forest path and had finally taken the paved road, and even, when Loren had carefully discerned it, could smell the smell of roasted wheat bread on the side of the road, and the fragrance of the fields, and occasionally the clanging of the blacksmith as he forged his blades.

......

Soon after, the horse team began to go up, the road began to jolt violently, and some of the children vomited directly, obviously, the knight team entered a mountainous area, and after walking for nearly two hours, the mountain road began to become flat again, and then it actually stopped, and a very loud voice came from high in the sky: "What man?"

I only heard a familiar voice shouting nearby: "The knights stationed in the Scarlet Castle, Tuka, Gray and others have been ordered to go to the distant village to return from hunting, please let go!"

"Okay, check the token, bring the prey in. ”

"Yes!"

The next moment, Loren was dragged off the horse, but still did not untie the strip of cloth that surrounded his eyes, but the rope in his hand was dragged by someone, and he walked into a narrow space with several other children, and then his feet seemed to begin to rise into the air, and he continued to rise, and his ears were full of the sound of iron ropes twisting, which seemed to be an elevator.

"Squeak~~~"

With a sharp sound, the elevator stopped, and the teenagers were dragged forward again, and they didn't know how long they walked, but finally stopped.

"Okay, let them see where they will live in the future. ”

Gray's voice was very loud, and then one by one the servants stepped forward and tore the strips of cloth off the children's eyes, and the next moment, Loraine opened his eyes to see the harsh sunlight, surrounded by towering walls, with sharp blades protruding from the walls, and on the high platform of the wall in front of him, a woman in a skirt uniform stood with her arms folded.

"Is that all?" she asked indifferently, with an inexplicable majesty in her voice.

"Yes, Lord Catherine!"

A knight who was even higher than Gray said respectfully: "A total of 1,457 of them, including some of the materials that can be made, and some of the training consumables, are all here." ”

"Humph......"

Catherine looked at the boys and girls in the square with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "Children, I don't know where you come from, or what kind of hatred you are carrying, but when you come here, you must understand one thing, this is not the knight academy of the empire, nor is it a city-state academy, this is hell, your future graveyard, and it may be the place where you will glorify your life, from today on, your body and soul no longer belong to yourself, but to the Holy See of Light, I hope ......"

Her voice sank, her beautiful eyes showed a complicated look, and after a pause, she said, "I hope you can survive more." ”

Then, she waved her hand slightly: "Luke, how to arrange them, leave it to you, and I will come back after they enter the advanced training class." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Luke was indescribably respectful, and on his shoulder, there was a very ornate badge, which was the symbol of the Earth Knight, and a symbol of great strength.
