Chapter 12: Knights
The Port of Secherons, the most important transport hub in the Republic of Steppen, is located in the heart of the province of Canay.
There are many thousand-person floating airships suspended in the sky above the huge port, waiting for the signal of the port to be ready to land at any time. On the ground, aristocrats dressed in gorgeous costumes came from all directions with their servants and large bags. The steam-powered wagons and horse-drawn carriages in the harbor were already packed, and many people had to walk through the crowded traffic facilities to board the scheduled airships.
In the crowd, the group is quite eye-catching!
The leader was a tall girl, with long golden hair like the sun coiled behind her head, a silver-white light armor wrapped her graceful figure, and the white lace vertical collar at the neck set off her white neck to make it more slender.
The delicate and exquisite face is as perfect as a sculpture, but the blue eyes flash with a cold light from time to time. She carries a large alchemy sniper rifle behind her back. The wooden handle is edged by an unknown metal, revealing a magnificent and attractive pattern, while the streamlined silver body is hollowed out, allowing you to see the sparks dancing inside. A row of golden wires protruded from the barrel of the gun, spreading from the barrel to the handle.
Behind the blonde was a group of ten people, all of them tall and tall, with a crossbow pinned to their waists, in addition to the two-handed swords they were carrying diagonally, and their skins were bulging with crossbow arrows.
As soon as this group appeared in the harbor, all nobles and commoners respectfully moved out of the way, and no matter how arrogant they had just been, everyone bowed their heads in respect.
The blonde nodded slightly, and without any extra politeness, she walked straight towards the port, and then boarded the escalator of a hundred-person floating airship that had been waiting for a long time.
"Dear Lady Alexia, the airship is ready to set sail at any time."
A middle-aged fat man in a sailing suit took off his hat and said respectfully: "We have pushed off all the passengers, the cabin has been cleaned, please rest assured." ”
The blonde woman known as Alexia nodded, then took a purse from the knight behind her and threw it to the middle-aged man: "Thank you!" ”
After simply spitting out two words, she was the first to walk into the airship!
Captain Sean wiped the sweat from his forehead, just standing next to this beautiful lady made him feel a great deal of pressure. Now that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "Yang Fan, prepare to set sail!" ”
The sailors were at work, and a few of the swift men had climbed up the mast and untied the ropes of the sun sails.
As three huge sun sails slowly opened, the morning sun fell on the white sun sails. Then a brilliant golden light lit up, and then the sun sail suddenly swelled, and then the gold stretched out in a piece, almost gilding the sun sail with a layer of charming color.
The gathered energy is absorbed by the mast, and then the metering lights on the mast are lit up one by one.
Shaped like a giant wooden ship, the airship itself is made of wood and metal made of special materials, and uses the light energy absorbed by the solar sail as an energy source to charge the steam engine converter, thereby pushing the anti-gravity device to lift the airship into the air.
The thrusters poked out of the tail of the airship, and after the billowing smoke and dust, the thrusters were ignited, and the hundred-person floating airship began to rise into the air, and finally disappeared into the sky!
Alexia walked into her bedroom, where a knight placed a suitcase in the doorway, saluted, and withdrew. Alexia put the alchemy sniper rifle behind her back aside, and a pair of beautiful eyes swept around, and only after finding nothing unusual did she open the box, and took out a metal box inside, and then sat down on the chair.
The metal box is covered with a layer of leather, and when it is opened, an oval screen is revealed, as well as a dial and a row of buttons underneath. Alexia pressed one of the buttons and saw the hands in the dial begin to swing from side to side, eventually stopping. A snowflake appeared on the oval screen, followed by a black and white image, revealing a young man, who was Gawain, who had hunted down Alan.
"Captain Gawain, the headquarters received your message, so they sent me to support you, are you sure you have found Victor's traces?"
"Captain Alexia, I trust my own judgment. I think Victor must be gone by now, but we can capture the latest virus creature he has developed, but unfortunately I lost it. ”
"Why, if you have the True Eye, you will also lose your target?" Alexia had a look of surprise on her face, and it was clear that Gawain's tracking skills were second to none among the Knights.
Gawain said helplessly: "It's true that he didn't lose it, but he is constantly evolving, I estimated the success rate, and I had to give up." ”
Alexia was silent for a moment, then finally spoke, "I see, I'll join you as soon as possible." ”
"I want you to pick up the pace." Gawain said with a solemn expression, "A large number of zombies have appeared in Jinyin Town, and at the same time, three high-level zombies have begun to expand outward, and no less than four villages of all sizes have been attacked, and we must curb this situation." ”
"I understand!" Alexia turned off the communicator, then leaned back in her chair gently, the chill in her azure eyes growing stronger......
On the bumpy road, a thick steam RV drove slowly. The RV is equipped with thick steel plates, with sharp steel thorns welded on both sides, and the front bumper is connected with a forklift-like steel plate covered with sharp straight thorns.
In addition to the dried blood, the stab was covered with scattered pieces of minced flesh, and it was clear that the RV must have been on a rampage among the zombies earlier.
"Are you sure you're getting the right information?" Henry looked at the map in front of him and asked with some confusion.
"I inquired and found that the residents in the vicinity had already begun to be evacuated." "There are several nearby villages that have been attacked, and I'm sure Raymond is definitely responsible. I have to stop him this time! ”
"But I'm still worried about the Knights, what if they find out about us?" Henry took off his sunglasses, and his blood-colored pupils were unusually piercing.
"So I've chosen the most remote villages, and I'm sure the Knights will prioritize the closer ones, and we'll have plenty of time to investigate and find clues."
"That's all it can be." Henry said as he bent over and stepped into the bed of the RV, then drew his double-barreled shotgun and began to prepare for battle.
Alan looked at Henry in the rearview mirror and said, "Leave me a cheer." ”
"What, you still need this?" Henry laughed and said, "Your big claws are more useful than the barrel of a gun." ”
"I don't want to rely too much on the virus, and I'm afraid that one day, the virus will deprive me of my consciousness." Alan voiced his concerns, "If I become a monster, remember to give me a good time." ”
Henry smiled, didn't say anything, and was still carefully sorting out his equipment.
The RV slowly stopped on the side of the road, and Alan got into the car and began to modify the firearm. Alchemy weapons need to be customized, so Eren can only use modified guns now. Fortunately, they scavenged a lot of good things in Gold and Silver Town, and Alan fell in love with a silver-white large revolver at a glance.
"That's it!"
With a goal in mind, Alan set out to transform it. He cut off the barrel of the revolver and welded the barrel of a shotgun to it, while he found a small steam accelerator, mounted it on the handle, and attached a pipe to the breech of the revolver. Minor adjustments have been made to ensure that the acceleration generates a huge amount of kinetic energy when the trigger is pulled.
Then Alan began to modify the bullet, still the old way, and did his best to increase the power of the warhead!
Watching Alan skillfully modify the **, Henry couldn't help but smile and said: "You know, Jamie has admired you very much since he was a child, and he has to be your apprentice before leaving." ”
"Being able to become a trainee knight allows him to have a broader space for development, in fact, I envy him." Alan said as he buried himself in his work, "He's going to get stronger, better than you and me." ”
"Hopefully, sometimes I wish he didn't have that much talent." Henry was still smiling, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
Alan looked up: "Hey, Henry, I told you, I'll reunite you, I'll find a way." ”
When the two were ready, it was almost noon, and after bringing the necessary equipment, the two began to walk towards the village chief on foot.
"The smell of blood!"
Allen's nose moved: "It's fresh!" ”
Henry nodded, raised the muzzle of the gun, and the two of them cautiously walked along the road.
Outside the hamlet is a spacious flat land with a large pool of blood visible from the entrance. The quiet village is like a silent beast, quietly waiting for its own food.
"Something is wrong, this place must have been attacked by zombies a few days ago." Henry crouched down and pinched the blood from the ground with his fingers, "But the blood hasn't clotted yet." ”
Alan carried the modified revolver and pointed his gun at the village: "Then the only explanation is!" ”
"It's a zombie lair!"
"It's a zombie lair!"
The two of them spoke almost in unison, and then they heard a terrifying roar erupt from within the village. The door was violently slammed open, and one by one the zombies pounced out. However, they don't have the unique appearance of blood zombies, just the same appearance as normal zombies.
"Bang!"
The revolver rang out and smashed the head of a zombie directly.
"Go back, it's a trap!" In the midst of the infestation's sight, Alan spotted the unusual red color in the depths of the village!
