Chapter 479: The Betrayed Knight (I)
After dealing with the two dark elf corpses, Su Yang and Cyrus both breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, the battle just now seemed to have the upper hand on their side, but the difficulties were only known to them.
If it weren't for Shylock's words to help just now, I'm afraid that Su Yang and Sellers at this time would have been exhausted by those two dark elf corpses. Just a corpse contaminated with a little bit of Di Ruiji's breath is so difficult to deal with, Su Yang can hardly imagine that if he encounters Di Ruiji's body, if it really comes to that time, will he be able to deal with it?
Shaking his head, leaving these cumbersome thoughts behind, Su Yang looked at Cyrus and said, "Go ahead?"
Cyrus thought for a while, took out two pieces of jerky and a bag of water from the bracelet on his wrist, and sat directly cross-legged while still giving Su Yang a piece of jerky, and said in his mouth: "Eat something first and rest for a while." ”
Su Yang took the jerky, pinched it with his hand, and said in his heart: This thing is also a little harder.
But after biting a bite of the jerky, Su Yang was surprised to find that this thing didn't seem to be as unpalatable as he imagined.
Looking at Su Yang's expression, Cyrus didn't blink his eyes, and said: "This kind of jerky is specially prepared by the empire for high-ranking officers, and it uses a kind of demonic beast sand cow that is native to the Yuyan Empire, and often a small piece is enough to provide an adult man's energy for a day. ”
Oh, Caesar's Empire is really rich.
This sand cattle, which originated in the Imperial Rock Empire, is in short supply in the market because of its delicious meat and suitable for long-term preservation, and the price is naturally expensive. When Su Yang was purchasing supplies, he had also seen this kind of jerky in the market, and he clearly remembered that at that time, a fist-sized piece cost twenty gold coins, and you must know that the annual expenses of ordinary residents of Vetaren are almost this amount.
Not to mention other aspects of Caesar's Empire, at least in the treatment of the army, the attitude of the kings of the past dynasties is very consistent, that is, to give the army the best treatment possible. This is one of the reasons why the army of Caesar's empire is willing to sacrifice their blood for the royal family to fight on the battlefield.
After a short meal, Su Yang and Sellers discerned the direction and continued to rush towards the depths of Nojpera.
......
A continent time later.
Su Yang and Sellers had already arrived in the middle half of Neupera, and although this large village where the Dark Elves and humans met on the border was quite large, it was not ridiculously large. The reason why it took Su Yang and the others an hour to reach the middle half of the village was because they had been attacked by the remnants of the dark elves no less than ten times along the way, especially the further they went into the village, the more frequent the remnants of the dark elves appeared.
But fortunately, as soon as they entered the center of the village, the dark elves who lived here and died because of the plague did not mutate, which made Su Yang and the others greatly relieved.
At the same time, as soon as he entered the village, Sellers went straight to the clock tower standing in the center of the village, and the speed of his movements caught Su Yang off guard.
"Hey, I said, Miss Cyrus..."
Before Su Yang finished speaking, Cyrus, who was running in front, threw a vicious look: "Please call me Lieutenant Cyrus." ”
"Uh... Okay, Lieutenant Cyrus, is there anything in that clock tower, why are you in such a hurry there?" asked Su Yang as he hurried.
Sellers replied as he hurried, "Before we set out, Imperial Intelligence sent a team of knights here, and according to the rules, they should pass information to Vetaron every two days. Strangely, the day before our departure, within the allotted time, no information arrived. Her Royal Highness thinks that something may have happened to them, so let me stop by and find out what happened to them. According to their last information, they had camped at the bell tower in the middle of Neupera three days earlier, so I think there may be clues to their whereabouts in the bell tower. ”
So that's the case, Su Yang knew it, no wonder Cyrus would rush to the bell tower in such a hurry.
Su Yang, who figured out the reason, didn't say much nonsense, and followed Sellers intently to the location of the bell tower.
But as the saying goes, the towering bell tower seems to be very close to the two of them, but in fact, it took the two of them a long time to gallop to the bottom of it.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the bell tower, Cyrus took out a small horn and put it to his mouth and whined, this is a special horn made by the Caesar Empire's intelligence department, and only those who are from the Caesar Empire's intelligence department can use it to play a special sound, and this sound is the signal of communication between the intelligence personnel.
After blowing faintly for a long time, there was no response near the bell tower, and Cyrus couldn't help frowning, could it be said that the elite knights of that team had been martyred?
Chirp!
At this moment, there was a sudden phoenix roar in the sky, and when Su Yang looked up, he saw snow clouds constantly circling in the northwest of the bell tower. Seeing this scene, Su Yang understood that Xueyun must have discovered something, and without the slightest hesitation, Su Yang ran towards Xueyun's location.
And Sellers saw Su Yang's movements, hesitated a little, and then followed.
The two didn't run long before they came to the place where the snow clouds had been hovering, and they couldn't help but be surprised at the same time.
"How can this be ?!!?"
Cyrus said incredulously.
What appeared in front of the two of them was nothing else, it was the corpse of the members of Caesar's Imperial Knights squad who had lost their voice.
The members appear to have been subjected to great torture before they died, and their bodies are covered in large and small scars, and what is particularly striking is that the corpses are more or less stained with some sludge-like stuff that seems to have been left behind by their killers.
Su Yang looked at the sludge on these corpses, thinking in his heart, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen this kind of sludge in the game in his previous life, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Rest in peace. ”
Cyrus, who had adjusted his mood, gestured with one hand and whispered.
To be honest, the reason why she had such a big reaction just now was completely out of shock, because this knight squad was all composed of cultivators above the fourth-order intermediate level, and the leading captain himself had reached the fifth-order intermediate level. And the existence that can kill them all, its strength must not be underestimated.
"Wait a minute, Cyrus, you just said this is a team of knights?" Su Yang asked as if he had discovered something.
Cyrus nodded, "Well, that's right. ”
"Then is the formation of this squad in accordance with the regulations of the Empire?"
"That's right, what's wrong, did you find anything?"
"That's right, the empire clearly stipulates that each knight squad is composed of a captain and nine team members, a total of ten people, but how can I count the nine corpses here, where did the rest go?"
After listening to Su Yang's words, Cyrus also reacted, looked down, and sure enough, as Su Yang said, there was one less corpse, and unfortunately, the owner of the missing corpse was the captain of this knight team.
"Could it be that there are survivors?" Cyrus muttered to himself.
Survivors? Not necessarily.
Su Yang said so in his heart, because he had just carefully observed the nine corpses placed together, and found that although the nine corpses were full of large and small wounds on their bodies, without exception, the fatal injuries were all in the throat, and they were directly cut by a sharp blade.
"Help!"
At this moment, a cry for help came from not far away, and Cyrus, who was eager to save people, rushed directly to the source of the sound without any hesitation.
"Huh... Wait a minute..."
Before Su Yang could say anything, Cyrus ran away, and in desperation, Su Yang could only shake his head and follow Cyrus, so as not to encounter any accidents for her.
The two of them ran towards the place where the cry for help came from, and after a while, an empty square appeared in front of the two of them, and in the center of the square, a middle-aged man in imperial armor was paralyzed on the ground, and in front of him stood a monster covered in bandages.
Pretenders?
Wait, how did the pretender appear here? Haven't they already wiped out the Violent Search and Capture Group? Could it be that there are still members of the Violent Search and Capture Team alive?
At this time, the situation did not allow Su Yang to think too much at all, because the monster that looked like a disguiser had already pounced on the knight who was limp on the ground.
"Look for death!"
Seeing this, Sellers was furious, as the youngest lieutenant of the Empire, how could she allow the enemy to harm the soldiers of the Empire in front of her?
I saw the snake-belly sword in Cyrus's hand thrust into the ground, and between the ground tumbling, barbed blades burst out of the ground and went straight to the soles of the pretender's feet.
Originally, Su Yang on the side was ready to support Cyrus at any time, because in his impression, although the strength of the pretender was not high, it was not an easy existence to deal with.
But the development of things surprised Su Yang a little, and the snake belly sword that gushed out from the ground directly penetrated the body of the pretender, stabbing it high into the air.
"Great, Sir Cyrus, it's great to see you again. The knight, who had slumped on the ground, turned his head to see Cyrus, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Hurriedly getting up from the ground, the knight quickly ran to Sellers, and saluted respectfully: "Hello sir, Imperial Intelligence, Second Lieutenant Captain Misa has seen the sir." ”
"Misa, what's going on, why are you the only one left. Cyrus asked.
Just as Misa was about to answer, a look of horror suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she pointed her left hand behind Cyrus and said in horror, "It, it, it's alive again!!"
Cyrus subconsciously turned his head to look, but found that the pretender behind him had already died and could not die anymore, and when he was wondering in his heart, a chill suddenly came from his lower abdomen.
Looking down, Cyrus was surprised to find that a dagger was deep in her lower abdomen, and the owner of the large hand holding the dagger was none other than the Imperial Knight Misa she had just saved.
