Section E, Chapter 46: Ice Dragon Knight (York)

"Why did you come with you?" Vicol, who found that York had not left and was gradually catching up with the team in front, hurriedly turned his head and frowned at him: "Aren't you the chief knight?

"That guy doesn't care. Without thinking, York, who was following the snow crow, felt that Lucina would definitely not die without him for a while: "I'm very interested in that monster...... If you think that you don't waste your lung capacity while running and talking, and you're not afraid of cold wind, why don't you tell me about it?"

......

Apparently he heard it, but he didn't react.

It can be seen that Vicol feels that talking while running is very inefficient. Seeing this, York silently followed the team, and soon got the answer: in a hidden alley, a guard with a shield was leaning against the wall with his bloodied left arm. At his feet, the corpse of a monster.

That guard is the elite class of Neverwinter, the Ice Dragon Knight (Frozen Lands, no title. Knight is an honorary title, and it is also a different class from cavalry), and also participated in the guard of the Frost Festival.

They are the finest soldiers, dressed in ice-blue sturdy armor and helmets in the shape of ice dragons.

Icerock City also has its own elite class called Icerock Knight.

Apparently, the heavily armed Ice Dragon Knight killed the monster. It's just that I hurt an arm. The hard armor was pierced by the monster's sharp spikes, leaving a terrifying hole of blood.

Even...... Judging from the bloodstained broken sword beside him, the monster actually broke his weapon after being injured.

After encountering the monster with his group of guards before, he came back under his cover to report for help, but the ice dragon knight had already eliminated the enemy on his own during this time.

It was a humanoid monster with a stout body covered in a sturdy gray carapace. Behind it, there are four retractable blades.

A head protected by a heavy carapace, with four blue eyes. Now, it has been clouded by death. His blood-stained claws were sharp and retractable, and they must have shattered the sword.

"Ahem...... Cough...... You guys...... It's coming so fast. Sooner than expected, the Ice Dragon Knight coughed and braced his shield against the ground in an unsuccessful attempt to get up. Instead, he almost fell to the ground because of the loss of strength - if no one rushed to support him, this must have been the result.

Only then could he see that a large scar had been cut on his back against the wall.

The armor was torn, and under the scratches, metal and flesh were crushed together. In the dim moonlight, York was keenly aware that the diagonal opening was at least two centimeters deep.

Fortunately, the spine was not damaged. Otherwise, he will probably not be able to get up in his life.

"Don't move!" Seeing that his life was not in danger, Vicol, who was relieved, hurriedly helped him and let him sit down again after moving away from the monster a little. The prepared medic immediately treated the Ice Dragon Knight's wounds, and after a cursory examination of the injuries, he quickly took out a purple box from his medical bag and applied a large piece of ointment to the wound on his arm.

York always had the illusion that the ointment in the purple box was probably purple.

However, it is not. Not even white.

The color of the ointment was green.

And the ointment in another green box...... It's blue.

It's completely incomprehensible to the point of doing this: it's probably meaningless at all, just a random place.

But York always felt that it was the product of a misplaced box. In any case, it will be more natural for the two to change boxes.

The medicine smeared on the Ice Dragon Knight's wound, causing him to frown in pain and breathe heavily. In this tense atmosphere, Vicol ordered most of the soldiers to go around to stand on guard, in case there were monsters hiding nearby. Several soldiers began to examine the corpse of the monster with panicked expressions.

Ice Dragon Knight's wound was initially treated, the ointment had been temporarily closed, and he was bandaged, waiting for the medics to carry the stretcher. Obviously, the ointment seeped into the wound very irritating - the face under the ice dragon's helmet was gritting its teeth and making a snorting sound from time to time.

Because everyone is happy from the current situation, York, who is relieved, is also interested in the dead monster in addition to doubts. Hearing Vicor uneasily ask the Ice Dragon Knight what had happened, he suddenly realized a problem: it seemed ...... The reason why this young snow crow didn't answer his question just now was because he didn't know the details and couldn't answer it?

Hum...... It must be because of this...... York stared at the monster's corpse, focusing more on listening: the story of the Ice Dragon Knight was very simple. He was here patrolling with another soldier in the same group when he happened to hear a strange crashing sound coming from the alley. When I went to check, I found that the monster had slammed through a warehouse door. The Ice Dragon Knight, who was even more powerful than his companion, immediately asked him to go back and report the news, and he stayed behind to block the monster.

And then...... It was during the battle that he was wounded in the left arm and back by the difficult enemy, and his sword was broken. Slightly different from what York had imagined, the sword had been pierced into the enemy's body before being discounted by the painful monster.

As for the two scars...... It's all thanks to the four sharp blades on the back of the monster.

In the battle he described, the monster grabbed his sword as the four blades on his back stabbed forward together, nearly piercing his body directly - fortunately, only his arm was injured.

The wound in the back was torn by a sharp blade when the enemy was forcibly pushed away with his shield. Even with such an injury, he stubbornly held on and delivered a fatal blow to the loose monster.

"You guys, go check the warehouse!!" Vicor looked at the Ice Dragon Knight with admiration and concern, and immediately pointed to a few of the guards, telling them to check the warehouse. At the same time, he frowned and ordered the other guard: "Go and remind the Ice Rock People what is going on here, and let them help." ”

Obviously, the guard had never done the work of heralding before, so he looked a little panicked when he hurriedly dispatched.

"It's ...... What kind of monster?" The guards investigated the corpse of the monster for a long time, and they had no clue at all, and they panicked: "I've never seen it before!"

"Is it from the Dark Glacier?" one of the guards put forward this hypothesis, confused: "I don't know how many monsters are ...... inside"

"Possibly, but how did they get here?" the other man apparently didn't buy this conclusion, and his tone was stiff and full of trepidation: "That's right...... Didn't that blood-red vortex appear in the sky the other day? Is it possible that it brought it?"
