Chapter 6: Undercurrents (II)

The Thundering Knights are one of the three major knights on the Starfall Continent and belong to the Titan Empire Alliance.

Brandon Hugo was the son of prophecy at the time, with a great reputation and fame. With the full support of Julius Caesar, he single-handedly established the Thundering Knights.

The Knights' mission is to uphold love and justice, and every month they accept some unpaid missions to protect ordinary caravans, as they are loved by the populace.

Under the wise leadership of the regimental commander Brandon, he made great contributions during the war when the Titan Empire moved north.

People with lofty ideals came one after another, and the members of the Thundering Knights soon expanded to five hundred, and more than half of them were high-level warriors alone.

Julius Caesar, with the support of all the nobles of the South, unified the Starfall Continent for the first time in history and is known as the pioneer of the New Era.

And Brandon, the strongest cultivator at that time, Brandon, the head of the top ten powerhouses in the mainland, disappeared mysteriously during a mysterious mission, and disappeared out of thin air as if he had never existed.

The institutionalization of the Thundering Knights is inseparable from the influence of the background of the times.

It's just that after decades of time have passed, it has now become the official formation of the Titan Empire, and the original practice has gradually been lost.

The current Thundering Knights are no longer a mercenary group independent of the Empire, but a direct force of the Church of Light.

It is the main duty of the Church of Light to consolidate its power in the provinces where its branches are located. Some of the best of the Thundering Knights tend to charge high bounties after completing the tasks assigned by the church, accepting high-risk commissions from all over the continent.

Charlie, the current Thundering Knights, is the head of the twelve famous Thundering Knights, and has stepped into the gates of the Sanctuary.

Charlie has a cold temperament, which is different from the previous captains of the Thundering Knights, and acts insidiously.

After the prophecy of the Son of the Titan was interpreted by the Imperial Prime Minister Shiloh, Duke Roland summoned Charles to the Duke's Palace as soon as he learned the news.

The Duke offered a reward of 500,000 gold dragon coins to let the Thundering Knights bring the Prophecy Son to the imperial capital, provided that it did not fall into the hands of the Fisdal family.

Charlie naturally would not refuse such a good deed, and immediately summoned twelve thundering knights to rush to the south. Roland didn't really have any intentions for Filin and his party, all of this was just an elaborate plan by the Holy Light Church.

β€”β€”

Rodrith always had a strange feeling, his brow furrowed, and his expression became unusually serious.

"I sensed the unusual magic fluctuations on the other side, but why couldn't I determine the exact location?" the magic apprentice muttered to himself.

Seeing the figure of his companion gradually drifting away, he had to keep up with the pace of the three of them, wondering if he was too worried, maybe Aven was waiting for them on the other side.

The group walked into the woods on the shore, and the light suddenly dimmed, even making people feel a little gloomy.

For some reason, Filin and Ellie had unconsciously walked in front of them, while Loras walked in the middle, looking a little listless.

And Rhodelis fell behind the group, he was still looking down in thought, and suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable irritability, coldly examining the surrounding scene.

The magic apprentice was unusually at this time, and his heart suddenly moved, as if he sensed something.

"Loras, do you have magic crystals on you?" asked Rodrith as he walked over to Loras.

"Why did you ask about this all of a sudden? Before, Lord Evan gave me and Ellie one each. I've always kept it in my pocket, I just don't know how to use it. Loras said, feeling for a lilac crystal.

"Give it to me. Rodrith grabbed the crystal, closed his eyes and began to recite the incantation.

I saw that the magic crystal slowly rose into the air, emitting a soft light.

"Sure enough, there may be enemies nearby, let them stop! I continued to maintain my magic, trying to see if I could sense anything else. ”

Seeing that Rodrith didn't look like he was joking, Loras shouted at the two people in front of him, "Filin, you and Ellie come to me quickly, there's danger around here!"

As if they hadn't heard, Filin and Ellie continued to walk deeper.

This made Loras so anxious that he wanted to run up and pull the two back. But Rodrith was maintaining his magic, and he had to be kept safe and had no time to care about anything else.

"Why didn't they keep up, really, no matter how much they grind, I'm afraid they won't be able to get to Curry after dark. Fei Lin looked helpless at this time, so he had to turn around and stop and wait for them to catch up.

"One, five, seven, nine...... Twelve, within a radius of a thousand meters from us, there are twelve balls of magical energy!" Rodrith muttered to himself in a cold sweat, his voice trembling.

Because Rodrith detected these magical energies, they all had at least six orders of combat power! That is to say, even the weakest one was three orders higher than Loras, the strongest in the team.

Loras was shocked when she heard this, and she was stunned in place, and there was no possibility of escaping at this time.

"If the other party didn't have a magician, he might be able to get away with it. Loras swallowed hard, a hint of desperation in her tone.

The magic apprentice said in a tone of urgency, "Let's tell them that we need to get out of this forest quickly!"

Suddenly, Filin saw Rodrith and Loras running towards him in a panic, seemingly shouting something, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Flin, we have to ...... right now," Loras ran over to Ellie's side and took her hand.

"Kyle, what the adults wantβ€”are these kids?" a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"These children are simply ants-like beings, and it's crazy that this kind of thing should be entrusted to our twelve thundering knights!"

"Since the head of the regiment has arranged it like this, he must have his own considerations, don't complain, take them back first. ”

"Kyle, it's going to be dead or alive, it doesn't seem to be stated in the mission, right? Wouldn't it be faster to just kill them and bring the corpses back. ”

"That's right, this is the three of us who found out first, and we can't let a few of them take the credit. ”

Before the words fell, three figures instantly appeared in front of the four of them.

"Little ones, come with us honestly. The man in the middle is armed with a large crosssword and wears armor made of Mithril, and his tone is not emotional.

Loras stepped forward, clenched his sword tightly, and shouted, "Go first, I'll stop them!"
