In the southern part of Victor's territory, a purple cane forest near the bank of the Jinshui River was like a storm, and the three-meter-high purple cane kept falling down, making a rustling sound.

Hundreds of hideous ant-men pulled purple cane plants out of the ground and gnawed at the rhizomes with their hard jaws, while the luscious and juicy cane stalks were thrown to the ground at will, leaving the scene in shambles.

A sturdy giant wolf emerged from the purple cane forest, its green eyes staring at the ant-man who was eating. The exploded mane, the swollen muscles, the bared fangs, and the low roar, at this time, any living creature with living emotions could feel the malice of the giant wolf, and Ant-Man also reacted.

The Ant-Men closest to the giant wolf hissed tentatively, trying to tell if the creature also had the power to absorb. Seeing that the giant wolf did not attack, Ant-Man buried his head and continued to gnaw on the purple cane. The giant wolf pounced, bit off the heads of the Ant-Man, turned around and ran, and in just a moment, the giant wolf had disappeared into the dense purple cane forest. Ant-Man put down the purple cane in his hand, let out an excited and bloodthirsty hiss, and chased after the giant wolf on all fours. The ant colony poured into the purple cane forest like a tide, and a special ant-man was exposed like a stone on the beach.

The commander, Ant-Man, did not control the pursuit of the soldier ants, but turned its head, discerned its direction, and began to move towards the nearest ant colony.

Although the commander Ant-Man is intelligent, they must obey the orders of the Mother Emperor and cannot return to the colony until the soldiers under their control have been consumed. Destroying the enemy's living force and destroying the enemy's regenerative crops are the two ways Ant-Man absorbs power. Destroying enemies is easier and more effective than destroying crops, and most importantly, fighting can consume the excess soldiers in the colony.

Before the lone commander Ant-Man walked ten meters away, two giant wolves jumped out of the purple cane forest, their bodies were a whole circle larger than the giant wolf, their blood-red eyes were full of crazy looks, and they opened their bloody mouths, revealing Bai Sensen's sharp teeth, and went straight towards Ant-Man.

There is an essential difference between the commander ant and the soldier ant, they will not actively participate in the battle unless absolutely necessary, but the instinct to fight has long been imprinted in their souls. In the face of the ferocious bite of the two giant wolves, between the lightning and flint, the commander Ant-Man grabbed the throat of a giant wolf and lifted it up. The other giant wolf had already pounced on Ant-Man's side, its sharp fangs stabbing into Ant-Man's forelimbs fiercely, dragging it back desperately, making it impossible for Ant-Man to stand up.

The commander Ant-Man let out a hiss, and tore his hands hard, the giant wolf's tough body was stretched straight to the ground, and the huge force of Pei Ran directly tore it in half. The blood obscured Ant-Man's vision, but his compound eyes caught a little cold light. Despite the wolf's drag, Ant-Man stepped back, dodging a piercing arrow, but before it could react further, another green bolt pierced its head.

Before dying, Ant-Man hissed and pressed the giant wolf that was biting it under him, and his four arms tightly wrapped around the giant wolf's body, and in the continuous explosion, the giant wolf was twisted into a pile of flesh.

As Ant-Man strangled the wolf, two figures leaped out of the bushes on the opposite side, swept over the hills at an alarming speed, and disappeared into the dense trees.

Victor and Shak, running into a valley, saw Renault and Barberry Militia Cliff waiting for them there.

Jumping directly onto Renault's back, Victor shouted, "Hurry up!" Nine war mastiffs also ran out, escorting Victor into the distance.

After running for nearly two hours, he finally arrived at a humble secret camp, where Victor rolled off Renault's back and lay straight on a giant bear skin.

"It's exciting!"

He didn't feel nervous when he shot the commander Ant-Man, and when he ran to safety, Victor only felt that the last bit of strength in his body had been drained, and he could only lie on the bearskin cushion like a half-dead fish, gasping for breath. His heart was filled with joy.

Since the outbreak of the ant tide, this is the second commander Ant-Man shot by Victor. In this shooting operation, an alchemy mastiff was used to lure away the ant colony, and the other two war mastiffs entangled the commander Ant-Man, and then Xia Ke feintmed, and finally Victor completed the kill. Although the plan was simple, it took Victor ten days to develop and implement the action plan for this time, which included Victor's observation and re-understanding of Ant-Man.

Since Ant-Man breached the hill camp, Victor and Renault escaped from the upper camp up the steep slope and joined up with the five war mastiffs under the guidance of the alchemy crow. In order to buy time for evacuation, all the alchemy auxiliaries were sacrificed. Of course, the inability of the alchemy auxiliaries to retreat from the steep slope that was nearly three hundred meters high was one of the reasons why Victor ordered them to hold the fence.

Luckily, Ant-Man was not interested in the Alchemy Tower, and a day later, eight more alchemy mastiffs joined Victor one after another. In the end, only Renault, Shack, Jack, Cliff, Lyndon, and Drulu were left with only six militiamen, thirteen mastiffs, and seventeen alchemy crows.

Victor began to investigate the situation of the Ant-Men in the territory, and he released twelve alchemy crows to patrol the entire territory, and finally confirmed that there were more than 30,000 Ant-People in the territory. In addition to the hill camp, Pinghu Village, the Free Folk Settlement, and the Chebman Family Camp were all devastated. The Ant-Man army was divided into four groups, one group went directly to the Earldom of Chebman, another to the Viscounty of Buryatia, and one to the Barony of Eskerry, and finally there were probably more than 7,000 Ant-Man left here, mainly stranded on the banks of the Jinshui River.

Victor found a hidden hill and observed Ant-Man from afar. He was surprised to find that the ant colony was fighting the fish-people. Once the ugly fish-man sees the weird ant-man invading the riverbank, he will rush up and bite it, and then be torn apart and devoured by the ant colony. More fish-men will crawl out of the river to attack the ant colony, and when they are more than half dead or wounded, they will flee back into the river, and after a while, the fish-men will come out and fight the ant-men again. This kind of situation happens every day, and the banks of the Jinshui River have been stained red and green with the blood of the fish-man and the ant-man, which looks extremely disgusting. Seeing that the fish-man had poured blood mold like himself, Victor had a sense of schadenfreude, and he even hoped that the two monsters would continue to hurt each other until they were all gone.

However, three days later, Victor witnesses a decisive battle between monsters, led by a giant fish-man, a dense crowd of fish-people who outnumber Ant-Man and crush two ant colonies in a single impact. Then Ant-Man began to fight back, and the ant colony rushed forward without fear of death, and after just a few dozen minutes, the fish-man collapsed, and the giant fish-man was also torn apart by the ant colony. Since then, fewer and fewer fish-people have come ashore, but more and more Ant-people have been attracted to the riverbank.

In this shocking monster battle, Victor noticed two details: first, the commander Ant-Man did not actively participate in the battle from beginning to end, and after the initial ant colony was annihilated, the two commanders Ant-Man killed from the encirclement of the fish-man and rushed towards the entrance of the swamp to the west, with an astonishing speed. Secondly, Ant-Man used weapons in battle, mainly spears and crossbows in the hill camp, and they were skilled in the use of weapons, and the combat effectiveness they showed made Victor's heart tremble.

After the Fish-Man rout, the battle on the shore became more and more sparse, and the bored ant colony began to destroy the purple cane, but once there was a battle on the riverbank, the ant colony would rush back. In this way, the ant colony began, and there were monsters fighting monsters, and there was no monster gnawing purple cane life.

Determined to test whether the commander Ant-Man would take the initiative to attack, he sends a war mastiff to attack an ant colony, and the ant colony pursues the war mastiff, while the commander Ant-Man runs to another ant colony without hesitation.

When the mastiff ran back, there was a startling scene, the other mastiffs let out a threatening roar and did not allow it to come closer, and then the alchemy crow began to warn, and the ant colony chased after it. The strange behavior of the war mastiff made Victor suddenly realize that it was the wild intuition that told the war mastiff that there was danger in that kind, and the danger came from the green blood it adhered to. After sacrificing the mastiff, the colony retreated.

In order to test Ant-Man's tracking methods, Shak, under Victor's command, shoots an Ant-Man from a distance with a bow and crossbow, and then shifts his position. The ant colony quickly gathered around the Ant-Man's corpse and kept circling, and finally searched in the direction where the arrows came from under the leadership of the commander Ant-Man, but did not track down the alchemy militia.

After several tests, Victor came to three conclusions: in battle, the commander Ant-Man will not attack first, but will prioritize the control of the ant colony to fight. Second, Ant-Man relies on the scent of his own kind to lock on to his target. Third, Ant-Man uses weapons, extinguishes fires, destroys purple cane, and relies on the control of the commander for all acts of intelligence, but they only have simple instincts.

With these realizations, Victor carried out this hunt. And the combat effectiveness shown by the commander Ant-Man also made Victor afraid, and the alchemy mastiff with 18 points of physique was like paper paste in Ant-Man's hands. If the operation fails, the remaining nine mastiffs will come forward to drag Ant-Man down, and Victor will have to flee the territory with a few alchemy militiamen. Thankfully, the operation was a success!

When the fierce heartbeat calmed down, Victor asked Renault, "Big man, how many more Ssersilver crossbows do we have?"

"My lord, there are 11 silver bolts. Renault replied angrily.

"Is there anything left?" said Victor with a frown.

The war mastiff sacrificed the alchemy tower and could be replenished, but the silver crossbow arrow was one less than one. And once the silver bolts are used up, Victor will no longer be able to hunt the commander Ant-Man.

"I wonder if Black Feather has found Lilia, if Sylvia receives the information I passed on to the past, she should send a great knight to help me hunt down the commander, right?" Victor thought to himself, looking up at the sky.

——————————

Nicole stroked the knight's armor hanging from the shelf, lifted her sword and pushed the door open. The people who came and went in the corridor were heavily armed attendants. In the face of disaster, the children of these vassals will fight for their families, but Nicole must leave the Black Castle to save her lover.

At the exit of the corridor, a petite and delicate figure blocked Nicole's way.

"Trisley?!" Nicole said, snorting. became a deserter but was caught by her own teacher, which embarrassed Nicole very much.

"I'm here to send you!" Trisley looked at Nicole quietly for a moment, and said softly, her crisp voice full of reluctance and love.

Nicole didn't expect that Trisley would come to give her a gift. The family has raised her for twenty-two years, but she chose to leave when the family was in the most crisis, and the shame and anxiety made Nicole's tears fall from her eyes like pearls.

"I'm already a knight, why do you still cry like I did when I was a child?" Trisley chuckled as she looked at her most beloved disciple.

"I'm sorry! I want to save him. Nicole lowered her head and muttered.

"Nicole, do you know what is the most important thing about a knight?" asked Trisley in a quiet voice, and without waiting for Nicole to answer, she continued, "The most important thing for a knight is to stick to his beliefs. ”

They could have broken through, but Fimet did not, he chose to avenge his disciple who died in battle, and Uval chose to face death with his brother. This is their belief and the belief of the knights!"

"The Earl of Terrandon is a great knight of the Silver Rank, and he has every strength to break through the blockade, but he chooses to hold on to the castle because his wife and children are still in the castle. This is also his belief. ”

"We knights can't choose our own fate, so what do we have to do with cultivating Douqi? So, knowing that you are going to die, I won't stop you, if I stop you, it will cut off your knightly path. ”

Nicole looked up at her teacher, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you! ”

"Don't thank me, Madame asked me to tell you. Trisley shook her head and said, "Sylvia won't send men to help you rescue Baron Victor, and don't blame her. The clan does not force knights to carry out mortal missions. ”

"I understand. Nicole nodded slightly.

"The brick that Baron Victor sent is worth a fortune, but in this case, it is not as valuable as the information Lilia told us. Trisley sighed.

When she got the special bricks, Sylvia also sighed, if this kind of limestone brick is enough to make the York family promise Victor many more conditions, but in the face of life and death, Sylvia will not let the family's soldiers fight with Ant-Man in the field, which has no chance of winning. What's more, Victor may be dead. In contrast, Ant-Man's fear of fire intelligence made Sylvia ecstatic.

Nicole bowed her head, she also knew that going to Victor was tantamount to death, and in the face of tens of thousands of monsters who were not afraid of death, even the Golden Knight was helpless. That's what Nicole wanted.

Trisley stares deeply at Nicole, perhaps this is the last time their master and apprentice will be together, and she decides to lift the veil of the pinnacle knight for Nicole. Even if Nicole never had a chance to become a Golden Knight again, she had heard of it at least once.

"Nicole, do you know the difference between a Golden Knight and a Silver Knight?"

Nicole shook her head in surprise. She had asked the question, but Trisley had never answered it.

"The Silver Knight can condense the Void Element, while the Golden Knight can extract the Elemental Sea. Therefore, disturbing the elemental sea is equivalent to stepping into the gate of the peak for the knight. Your breakthrough in the trial of life and death means that you have disturbed the elemental sea, so you can cut off the ogre's head with a single sword. ”

Trisley couldn't help but lament that Nicole's talent had disturbed the Elemental Sea despite her average talent, and in that regard, her path to promotion was much easier than that of other knights, but she was going to die.

"However, opening the gate does not mean becoming a golden knight, and there is a lot of danger inside the gate. Trisley was silent for a moment before continuing: "The power of the elemental sea is so vast, if the knight does not have a firm faith, he will only be assimilated by the elemental power, so the golden knight must be firm in his own path, and only a firm will and faith can allow the knight to harness the power of the elemental sea. That's why I can't stop you. ”

"Even so, the Golden Knight does not dare to arbitrarily mobilize the power of the Elemental Sea, every time he uses this peak power, the Knight must be careful, and if he is not careful, he will be blown up by the elemental power. Compared to the infinite elemental sea, our physical bodies are too small. ”

"It is said that after the Golden Knight steps into the Legendary Realm, he can open the Elemental Realm, and there is not so much risk in using the power of the Elemental Sea. Trisley shook her head and sighed, the realm of legends was even more ethereal than the pinnacle of achievement.

"Isn't that Legendary-level knight an invincible existence?" Nicole was fascinated.

"Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the power of the Golden Knight to extract the Elemental Sea, it is all up to him, and the Golden Knight does not dare to use this uncontrollable power more, usually the Golden Knight will only use the power of the Void Elemental Land, which is no different from the Silver Knight. ”

"The advantage of the Legendary Knight is very obvious, and the ability to steadily draw on the power of the Elemental Sea means that they are always Golden Knights, but this power is restricted by the Elemental Realm, so there is an upper limit to this power. If the Golden Knight and the Legendary Knight fight hard, the Legendary Knight will also be injured or even die together. A peak knight is a peak knight, even if it is a legendary rank, it cannot be insulted. Trisley said proudly, "At the very least, that fellow from Nyovest should be modest and cautious when he sees Madame." ”

Nicole couldn't help but secretly speak, she just knew that Madame was a very powerful golden knight, but she didn't expect that Emperor Rand couldn't crush Madame.

"Go ahead. Trisley hugged Nicole and said, "Nicole, you have to remember that you can't harness great power without a strong heart. That's how we're on the top. ”

While the master and apprentice were exchanging heartfelt feelings, Lilia knocked through several of the guards and shouted at Nicole, "Sister Nicole, Victor is still alive!

"Where's Victor?" asked Nicole as she hurried over to Lilia.

"This is a letter from Black Feather, written by Victor himself. He's alive!" Lilia took out a piece of letterhead and handed it to Nicole, as she said as the girl's tears rolled down, tears of joy.

Looking at the familiar font, Nicole was also teary-eyed, she handed the letterhead to Trisley, and said, "Teacher, Victor has important information. ”

After reading the contents of the letterhead, Trisley's face changed, and she said to Nicole, "Let's go see Madame at once!"
