Kano tasted defeat for the first time, and although he said, "Damn, what kind of man is a good man with intrigue and trickery", when he is alone, he still thinks about the prince's words and reflects on whether he is really too conceited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But someone came up to him and said gently, "There's nothing wrong with pride." Pride is the fundamental reason why a warrior is a warrior."

"Mistress Black!" Kano nervously left his seat to bow down.

"Get up, Kano, even I have great admiration for your bravery. A brave man who can defeat an army with just one person doesn't need to bow down to a small shrine maiden like me. ”

Kano rubbed his nose, his face filled with a smug look: "Miko-sama, you still have to be polite, otherwise you will think that I am very arrogant." ”

"But you have the right to be arrogant, because you are strong. And arrogance should be the best reward for the strong, if it is not for the sake of looking down on all beings, not for ascending to a high position of self-esteem, what reason do soldiers have to charge into battle and win victory after victory with the swords in their hands?"

Kano thought so.

The black-clothed witch smiled and said softly, "Prince Kayir's admonition to you is nothing more than being jealous of your strength, so he deliberately suppressed you. But as a king, the measure is not enough, and the method of shooting the first bird with a gun against the real brave will only wipe out the peerless talent who could have become a champion knight. ”

"Crown, champion knight?" Kano couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard the word.

The black-clothed witch nodded: "This title is a reward for the strongest martial artist in the Hazy Moon Forest. I think it's for you. Maintain your pride and see the world as a small thing, so that you can hold it in the palm of your hand. ”

The words of the black witch greatly encouraged Kano, and the regent later incorporated Kano into the squad of the former champion knight, and instead of following Prince Kail's advice to "be humble", Kano became even more aggressive. He still rampages on the battlefield, still defying the officers' refusal to carry out orders, and even the champion knight who is the captain, the great warrior whom everyone admires, Kano does not take him seriously.

"You must command me unless you are qualified to defeat me!" Karnot barked like a rabid dog, and when he was punished with a military club, he arrogantly shouted to the champion knight, "If you have the ability, draw your sword and fight me alone!"

The champion knight was respectful, and disdained to argue with such a ten-captain, but said, "Kano, if I were as competitive as you, I would not be worthy of the position I am in today." I don't scold you because of resentment, but out of love, and I don't want a warrior with extraordinary qualifications like you to be reduced to a waste with unbridled self-esteem. ”

However, Prince Kayl understood that this Kano would never return to the right track, so he angrily ordered him to be expelled from the army again.

However, the champion knight was so kind-hearted that Kano's career could not bear to be ruined, and begged the prince to give him another chance to make amends.

This opportunity is the "Purple Mist Ze Unknown Monster Annihilation Operation".

The Regent's subordinates found a huge monster in the purple mist of Ze, shaped like a wolf rather than a wolf, and its body tended to be invisible, and the people living in the surrounding area confirmed the existence of this thing because they could always find domestic animals that had been bitten and bloody, and saw huge footprints in the swamp. And when the fog is at its peak when the moon is full, people can see the giant wolf howling at the sky, fearing that the guy will actually eat the moon.

As monsters hurt people and animals more and more frequently, the Lord Regent implored Prince Kail to order the champion knight to lead a team to collect it. The champion knight took Kano with him and told him that this time he must obey the order and capture the monster according to the strategic plan of the commanders, so that he can ask His Royal Highness for the prince to keep Kano in the army.

Kano didn't think so, he didn't think that the champion knight's hard work was for his good, and his ears often recalled the whispers of the black witch -

Those who admonish you to know how to be humble and obedient are only afraid of your strength.

"Listen up, little ones. It's just a big wolf hiding in the fog, and we don't need to use this team, as long as I take the horse, our team of ten can kill it. ”

Kano insisted that his men go against the military orders and take their own hands to capture the trolls in the sky.

"But...... The order of the Champion Knight is to put everyone in place. ”

"That's right, the old man didn't want everyone to rob him of his credit!" said Kano anxiously.

"Grab credit?"

"Of course, when the knights of this team arrived, hundreds of thousands of troops overwhelmed the territory, and even the iron-beaten monsters were trampled to death. How much of the rest of the credit will fall on us? If you want to climb up the ranks of the army quickly and obey the rules like a fool? Will the generals give you the military seal that they have covered with their warmth? Give it a go, money, status, and beauty are all ours!"

Ten of his subordinates were moved by Kano's words: "Captain, can we really handle it?"

"Of course, because I am your boss. Kano put his thumb against his chest and said conceitedly, "And Lao Tzu is the strongest." ”

So the team of ten went forward in the starry night, and they saw a living hell.

Hidden in the Purple Mist is a terrifying monster that no one has ever heard of. It's huge, powerful, fanged and clawed, and most importantly, invisible, hiding in the night breeze and flowing with it.

Kano's men would pop out of place and crash into a dead tree in the distance, instantly shattering to pieces.

Or suddenly screaming and being thrown into the sky by an invisible force, then blood spurting wildly from the chest and abdomen, and then half of the body disappears completely.

Or with a click, before he could even scream, it suddenly turned into a flat mass, and blood filled the huge wolf-claw-shaped pit.

The ten subordinates who trusted Kano so much were all killed in an instant, and Kano could even smell the invisible behemoth in front of him, spewing a fishy snort at him.

Kano endured the throbbing in his heart, and slashed at the head of the giant beast with the wolf's fang, but the blade was smashed into three pieces by the fierce iron claws of the giant beast.

It's not a monster I can deal with, Kano's eyes twitched, and his will began to shake violently.

It was my arrogance that killed my men, and I brought them to their death, Prince Kayl was right......

No, how can what my Uncle Kano do be stupid? Even the Witch in Black praised me.

She's right, the reason why those stupid subordinates died and are now in such a desperate situation is not because I commanded them wrongly, but because those few wastes are too weak and will only drag me down.

The invisible behemoth of the night made a chaotic guttural sound, and Kano heard its muffled whisper.

"Do you regret your arrogant folly?"

Kano's messy hair danced wildly in the wind, and he stepped on his companion's helmet, opened his mouth and laughed wildly, and said arrogantly: "Shut up, stinky dog! You say I'm arrogant, just because I don't whisper to people who are so much weaker than me?"

"But if you're strong, why did you fall to this point?"

"I don't want to listen to the generals' farts, and these mediocre people have been suppressing me. If I had been allowed to sit in their place, I would have been able to command the army a long time ago, and Lao Tzu's whip would have been standing out all the time, and you would have stepped on a waste dog a long time ago!"

"Heheheha, yes, I like you very much. In the face of such a drastic change, you oscillate between repentance and arrogance, and in the end, arrogance prevails. ”

A pair of lightning-shaped red pupils suddenly lit up in the night sky, and Kano saw an ancient beast with a mouth larger than its body suddenly appearing in front of him.

"O madman with the original sin of 'arrogance', your contempt for all things is to my liking. Let me help you ascend to the highest position you desire!"

Before Kano could comprehend the beast's words, his forehead suddenly burned, and then a purple flame burst outward, and the extreme pain made Kano half-kneel on the ground, and let out a terrifying wail to the sky.

Zi Yan burned the "arrogant" original sin emblem on his forehead, and this giant beast named "Sky Devourer" turned into a purple mist, which was quickly absorbed by the emblem.

Kano struggled to his feet, and the pain immediately subsided, and instead his body surged with a powerful force that he had never felt before.

Kano clutched his forehead, unable to comprehend what had just happened, but immediately burst into a maniacal laugh.

Lao Tzu seems to have subdued this monster.

Kano had no doubts about this conclusion, and he was convinced that if there was really only one person in the world who could do such an astonishing feat, that person would not be Prince Khail, nor would he be a champion knight, but himself.

This monster has more vision than anyone else, and only it realizes that Lao Tzu is extraordinary.

Kano burst out laughing, stirring up waves of ferocity and murderous intent that spread outward, waking everyone stationed in the camp.

The champion knight rushed to the aid and asked in shock, "Kano, you actually led a team to deal with that monster on your own, were you injured, and what about your men?"

The champion knight was obviously sympathetic to his subordinates, and he was more concerned about everyone's safety than whether Kano disobeyed military orders. But these words sounded very harsh to the ears of Kano, who was becoming more and more frustrated, and he felt that this was the old immortal who doubted his strength.

Kano casually walked past the champion knight with his broken weapon on his shoulder, and said, "Monster, I have already cleaned it up. As for my men, they fought valiantly, and unfortunately none of them survived. Please posthumously crown them martyrs. ”
