Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle of the Sewers (10)

In the gloomy sewers, the owner of the kingdom of Bones and Thorns had just prepared the nezumi bomber sappers and had not yet launched a plan to clear the scavenger union, when he suddenly found a strange figure wandering near the exit, with the smell of the cemetery lingering on his body, emitting the smell of rotting corpses, attracting bloodthirsty mosquitoes and flies to enter and exit his tattered gray robes.

The Goblin Alchemist Duffis knew its identity, the Dead-Eyed Knight Holm, a member of the Grey Shroud, armed with an unsheathed sword that would surely see blood, mastered with the Seven Curses, with a good brain and superb swordsmanship.

'Holm has slain a thousand humans with his sword, and through a great deal of blood sacrifice and sacrifice, he has succeeded in restoring the terrifying bloodthirsty aura of the sword that has lost its evil essence for so many years, and if he were to lead the explosive sappers, the lethality would certainly be much higher. It's just strange how this monster who came to the end of the Black Knight's path could have rushed into my kingdom, he had always rejected my goblin identity before. ’

Diffes scratched his scalp and didn't come up with the key points, he couldn't figure out the mind of the Dead Eye Knight, which meant that any shot would be a stupid move, and he was ready to hold his troops for the time being, and look at the direction of the wind first.

Even if the bigwigs of the underworld are in charge of the order of the sewers, there are places where their hands can't reach them. In those remote corners, the dark inhabitants and inhuman creatures defend the area of existence with their sharp minions, unless they are human supremacists, there is no interest involved, and villains and criminals are all respectful of them.

However, the fact that the underworld can tolerate the dark inhabitants who have a little strength but cannot challenge the order they have established does not mean that they can watch the opposing human adventurers, mercenaries, and especially the hounds of the official town hall pass their paws into their territory. If you make an opening, the next thing will become endless, which is a long-standing experience and lesson that has been exchanged for countless blood.

Aldrich Tris, who formed the Scavengers' Guild, was unaware of the hidden dangers, he only saw the positive and profitable side, but forgot how the business could have fallen into his hands so easily if it had been as profitable as he had hoped.

The Dead-Eyed Knight's blockade caused a brief peace in the sewers of the neighborhood where the Black Cat Tavern was located, but it was only the calm of the storm, and a new crisis was brewing.

The pyramid echelon of the Gray Shroud, a large number of alternate Black Knights, in order to obtain the baptism of blood and death to complete the promotion, through a long detour back to the back of the scavengers' union, forming a tight encirclement, ready to kill Aldrich and them.

Holm unconcerned about refining the attitude of the alchemist Diphas, his carefully woven death trap is closing the net, and it is foreseeable that the smell of fresh death and blood will continue to gush at him, giving more vitality to the semi-undead body through the evil sword, and even prolonging the fire of life that should have burned out long ago.

He reached out and grasped the hilt of the bone sword, the evil sword that was completely tamed by the Dead-Eyed Knight vibrated frequently, and his emotions were naturally revealed, even more eagerly than Holm, who had been so well disguised.

Aldrich Triss's extraordinary perception of danger from the spiritual pillar of the Eight Virtues made him stop moving forward again, and his true vision opened again, and the dozens of black knights burning the source of decadence nearby were gradually shrinking the encirclement network.

'It's terrible!' The big guy who controls the order of the sewers is quite impressive to me for using so many good hands against a newly formed adventurous guild. ’

Unable to abandon the trust behind him, the official members and scavengers who are willing to follow him into the sewers, the scavengers' union may fall into a fierce battle if it breaks through in any direction, and then it is besieged by the black knights who come to support it, maybe Aldrich can get out with force far beyond the level of ordinary knights, but the union he established is completely finished, and he doesn't want to be mixed up in this line of work in the future.

So the key is the direction of the breakthrough, and I have to find the weak points. Tris, who had opened his true vision, looked around and was surprised to find that at the corner of the passage in front of him, there were no groups of black knights like torches, only a huge bonfire, emitting a scarlet bloodthirsty aura and a restrained pale phosphorus flame.

If the scavenger union unknowingly gets into a pocket trap, then the left front is the mastermind behind the tether at the mouth of the bag, and may be very confident in his own strength, confident enough to temporarily hold the scavenger guild on his own.

Aldrich Tris, who was able to retract his breath, decided to teach his opponent a lesson that he would never forget, and he did a good job of disguising himself as a normal knight, quietly signaling to his subordinates to follow closely, and then dragging his blunt-headed heavy sword and resolutely rushing to the left front corner.

A fool who doesn't know self-knowledge. Holm didn't even bother to unsheath the evil sword, his left hand clenched into a fist raised forward, and then it opened violently, and the evil emblem in his palm, the sharp sword that passed through his eyes, emitted a strange dark light, and instantly hit Aldrich.

The Dead-Eyed Knight's blinding curse was so powerful that it actually took effect on Tris, but the darkness in his eyes did not have much effect on the Virtue Knight, who was proficient in blind warfare, and his body continued to rush forward without wavering, slashing diagonally upwards with his sword.

Caught off guard, Holm's left hand and even his arm were taken away by the blunt-headed heavy sword, not to mention the comminuted fracture of the shoulder, and the two curses of blindness and deafness were temporarily lost, after all, it would take a little time to redraw the evil insignia.

"Damn ......" The Dead-Eyed Knight knew that he was underestimating his enemies, and his essence was a source of arrogance, which extended a strong sense of pride and vanity, which made Holm extremely slow to foresee danger, and he could not bear the incompleteness of his perfect body.

The sword was unsheathed in an instant, and the wielder's madness multiplied its power, the translucent blade vibrated frequently, and the gray mist that lingered around the sword splattered in all directions, and the slightest contamination made Aldrich tired, weak, slow, and sluggish, but it was the curse that Holm cast on Triss with the extension of his right arm.

Adjusting the rhythm of breathing, whispering the results of the forest practice, the power of the violent bear appeared, and the strength continued to emerge, Aldrich was like a humanoid giant bear, and with a random blow, he swept the Dead-Eyed Knight who could not tolerate his own retreat, and his back hit the wall, gurgling, and his body was broken in multiple places.

Luckily, Holm's half-undead body was painless, so he shook his head, which had few hairs, and was not hurt much.

The defeat of being swept away by a single blow aroused a strong sense of vanity, and the Dead-Eyed Knight called for the lightning spirit who had signed the contract to descend, and a jagged blue-and-white electric light bloomed on the blade of the evil sword.

"Hell, the Black Knight is able to do the same as an elemental envoy, although it is so low-level that it can only be solidified by attaching an outer coating, but I still have a little hearing of the power of elemental weapons. ’

Aldrich's eyes had just returned to normal, and the source of the Black Knight's decadence could only have a certain disturbing effect on him, and he was even completely insulated from arrogance and humility. Feeling a little heavy in his body, the power of the violent bear was affected by the curse, as if the inverted hourglass had opened and slowly passed.

In order to open a way for the union members to escape, Tris can only bring various debuffs and debuffs to close the distance between the two sides and try to resolve the battle in a short time.

'If the other party deliberately uses delaying tactics and waits for nearby reinforcements to gather and kill, then I can only taunt and pull hatred as a last resort. ’

Who would have thought that the arrogant Dead-Eyed Knight Holm did not give Aldrich a chance to use his mouth cannon at all, wielding a sharp sword weaponized by the elements, and his whole body was shrouded in a bloodthirsty aura, and he was the first to launch the second round of battle.

The incessant disorderly stabbing was like stabbing a beehive and provoking a swarm of bees to besiege him, and Aldrich, who was in danger, raised his blade to block left and right, intending to survive until the curse failed, and then launch a Jedi counterattack. However, the Dead-Eyed Knight, who is extremely rich in the source of decadence, adds various negative statuses to him from time to time, and seems to have known the reason why the curse cannot be used for a long time.

"Damn the White Knight, don't you feel ashamed that you have been forced to this point by me with the strength of a quasi-great knight? The Black Knight is the mainstream of the future, remember my words!"

Aldridge was not impressed by the Black Knight's words, hiding behind the broad blade, with an inexplicable smile on his face, with three points of mockery, three points of teasing, three points of ignorance, and one point of you know a fart.

Despite the loss of Holm's eyes, the White Knight's mixed emotions were still touched by him, and the 'jagged' teeth on the sword suddenly burst into a blinding arc of electricity, quickly and imperceptibly sweeping the back of Aldrich's right hand, leaving knuckle-length scorch marks.

The cracked wound revealed the blurred flesh underneath, and the evil aura caught the fresh blood in time, as if countless leeches were swarming in, continuously sucking out dark red blood from the wound.

"Hmm!" Aldrich snorted, his brows did not furrow, and the muscles on the back of his hand tightened, instantly solving the crisis of blood loss, but in this way, his sword momentum was a little slower, and the Dead Eye Knight's stormy stab took the opportunity to pierce the gaps in the defense, and grazed him several times.

'A worthy opponent, though a little mean, will do anything to win, and only by defeating this black knight who is like my mirror image can the thorny path of virtue be glorified. ’

Aldrich adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, the majesty of the King of Beasts brewed in his throat, his face appeared with a faint silver-white line, the roar of the golden lion resounded all around, and the destructive sound was so powerful that the Dead Eye Knight Holm almost knocked him down, and he lost his hearing in an instant, causing his body's coordination to be seriously unbalanced.

When he was in a hurry, Aldrich, who rushed forward with a sword in one go, slashed sideways, and his broken body hit the corner of the wall respectively.

"Rush with me!"

Not far away, there was a dense and neat pace, and the official members of the scavengers' union and the attached scavengers, hearing the heavy footsteps on their chests, had been fleeing in all directions in a panic, and suddenly heard Aldrich's call, and felt inexplicably settled in their hearts, and then lined up in four rows, chaotic but orderly through this section of sewers, following President Triss to break out.

Dozens of pairs of feet had been trampled on the body of the Dead Eye Knight's Holm in two, and if it weren't for the semi-undead losing most of his pain, he would have died.

Fortunately, none of the members of the scavengers' guild on the way to escape noticed the anomaly under their feet, and even Aldrich carelessly thought that the 'lion's roar' and a single blow had successfully dealt the powerful black knight.

The apprentice black knight under the command of the gray shroud, the front and rear feet arrived on the battlefield where the afterglow had not completely dissipated, and the outer strong middle dry Holm beckoned familiar people to piece his body back together, the part below the waist and his left hand, first connected the bones, then stitched the muscles, wrapped them tightly with bandages, and then put on a close-fitting armor.

Even if he loses and returns to the Grey Shroud, he must maintain the heroic posture of the Chief Dead-Eyed Knight, otherwise the number of contenders, knowing that his injuries are so serious, will definitely challenge him at all times and try to replace him.

'The mouths of these midshipmen are also unreliable, and it is better to cut off most of them in advance, otherwise it will not be good for my healing. ’

After pondering for a moment, it occurred to Holm that not far away was the territory of the georefined alchemist Duffis, who was a difficult non-human creature with no low status among the Dark Dwellers, and who had resurrected ancient alchemy, and might be able to find something useful from his collection.

"It was because of your lack of decisiveness that this medium-sized adventurous team broke through and almost killed me. Now that your whereabouts are unknown, and without the baptism of blood and death, I am afraid that you will not be able to take off the title of apprenticeship. ”

In his arrogant nature, Holm would never admit that he was inferior to others, and that he lost at the hands of Aldrich Triss, and could only put the blame on these uninformed slaves.

The Apprentice Black Knight, who lowered his head and lowered his eyes, made the atmosphere depressed and depressed, and the Dead-Eyed Knight, who had stopped in moderation, immediately changed his words: "However, there is still a chance. Devis, the goblin who claims to have established the kingdom of Bones and Thorns in this part of the sewers, has enough beast pets that will be the best sacrifice and sacrifice to offer your knowledge and morality to the source of evil, and the time has come to kill. ”

At the last chance, the apprentice black knight raised his head to reveal his instantly bloodshot eyes, followed the direction pointed by Holm, blasted open the secret brick wall gate, and then frantically rushed into the territory of the alchemist Diphas.

"Boom...... Boom!"

At the same time, the rat-men who showed their claws and teeth fought with the Black Knight without the orders of the owner, and the thin-skinned iron-shelled eggs filled with unstable compounds repeatedly worked, blooming one flower of death after another in the crowd huddled together.

The sputtered pieces of pig iron splintered into the bodies of both the enemy and the enemy, and the bloody storm instantly blew out the sparks of life around them.

However, after a while, the nezumi army was completely wiped out, and the alchemist Diphas, who took advantage of the chaos to crawl on the ground, fled into the ruined tower he had dug and found, closed all the exits, and secretly vowed to make the Gray Shroud regret today's unprovoked provocation.
