Chapter 461: New Changes (2)
late at night
The camp fell silent, except for the knights on patrol, the crunch of armor parts crashing with a certain rhythm, and the figures reflected in the firelight swept across the tent surface one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inside the humble tent, the ground was only covered with a thick layer of cowhide, and helmets, breastplates, and some miscellaneous items were placed on it, and most of the knights sat hovering around.
Although they don't have to keep vigil, few people outside the city can sleep peacefully, and basically in the middle of the night, they all close their eyes and meditate, absorb the energy of the source power spar in their hands, and seize the time to practice.
For ordinary knights who do not have a big family background, although the battle situation is full of dangers, the opportunities are also equal, with the resources provided by the alliance and external pressure, their potential can often be broken through.
Even if you stay in the city for a long time, you can better grasp your future path of advancement because you have seen other excellent knights and their own unique combat methods, but of course, there are some people who can't accept the fact that they are normal, and they are hit with low confidence.
However, people who can become official knights often have outstanding personalities, and most of them are quickly able to actively and passively adjust their mentality and stabilize their dazed state of mind.
Fluorescent stone, tied to straw ropes, hung in the middle of the tent, with four knights on each side, and in the middle of the passage were only large bags filled with miscellaneous items.
A middle-aged knight with a bearded face was just finished his practice, habitually holding the weapon beside him, and lowering his hand halfway.
The young knight on the same side as him just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, naturally he knew the former's movements very well, and couldn't help but smile narrowly, "Captain, do you want to bet when the protection of the camp will harass the enemy again tonight?"
The middle-aged knight immediately straightened his face and scolded in a low voice: "Bet, gamble, gamble, are you a gambler or a knight, and we don't need to worry about the vigil, it's interesting that you care so much?"
"Well, I said, Captain, don't be bound by those traditional creeds, knights also have personal hobbies, why not have fun once in a while. ”
The young knight who was glared at was obviously not conscious, but said with a hippie smile: "Captain, the source power spar that you exchanged for combat merits is almost finished, what about me, there are some surplus resources left, do you want to consider it?"
"You want to lure me into the bait again?!" the middle-aged knight snorted coldly, but his tone was not so firm.
Seeing this, the young knight naturally called the hot iron, "Captain, I want to bet that I don't want to trap you for anything, it's just a long night to have fun, if you win, the four source power crystals on my body are yours." ”
The middle-aged knight was a little moved, except for being attached to the Knight Alliance to do tasks, he was a civilian knight who did not rely on any forces, and any resources were very attractive to him.
However, he still has the determination of the knight, and besides, the young knight from a big family in front of him is not a warm-hearted and kind person, the other party wants to gamble and win.
"Captain, don't look at me so vigilantly, I don't plan to pit you, you know that kid from the twelfth team of Green, if you lose, come out for me and fight with him once, don't stare at me, the kind that stops at the point. ”
The middle-aged knight pondered for a moment, he knew that the two young people looked at each other unpleasantly, and it was still in the category of competition rather than a bad confrontation, and it was not a big deal to help if he lost, if he won....
After weighing the pros and cons, the middle-aged knight still agreed, "How to bet?"
"From now on, if the protective magic array is knocked out within a quarter of an hour, or a quarter of an hour later, you can choose one first, captain. ”
"I'll choose a quarter of an hour later. The middle-aged knight made a decisive choice, without blinking his eyelids, the enemy attack is irregular, and this bet is completely to see who has a good life.
"Okay, that's it. ”
The young knight was full of confidence, in fact, he had used a treasure to divinate his luck before leaving the city, it was the morning star shining, and he was sure to win every gamble recently, so no matter what the captain chosen, he was the only one who won in the end.
While the two of them were holding their breath, a soft pale blue light bloomed on the watchtower two kilometers away from their tent, like a lighthouse pointing to the shore.
Of course, due to the existence of the forbidden circle, the outside world cannot see such a scene, and only distorted and psychedelic things are presented.
In such a situation, even ordinary animals without intelligence can keenly perceive the danger and retreat far away, but for those who have a heart, it is a barrier that must be broken.
The guard tower is not simply made of wood and stone, but uses real artifacts as the center, extracts the solidified solidification of mud and stone on the spot, and radiates and controls the various magic arrays in the camp.
At this time, on the towering watchtower, Charon's figure was clearly recognizable, and he stood in the wind, his breath as calm as a deep pool.
Behind him was a round platform with a diameter of a foot wide, on which the six-pointed star runes were suspended in the air, and the dots of crystal light were spiraling around, converging into a brilliant beauty.
The great knight who is in charge of the magic array sigil is on the sentry tower, and his perception will be amplitated to the point of extreme sharpness, and the information within a radius of 10,000 meters can be fed back to form a clear picture.
Charon's perception was already much stronger than the others, and it was even more terrifying at this time, and his will directly encompassed this vast area, so that those figures galloping in the lurking were naturally clearly recognizable.
"It turned out to be the darling of the darkness - the Shadow Hunter. ”
Cold words came out of Charon's mouth, his dark eyes were indifferent to other colors, and the illusory sword shadow suddenly appeared, his gaze penetrating the distance of space, and fell to a bush outside the protective range of the magic array.
If you just look at it with the naked eye, there is nothing abnormal, and it is easy to ignore the perception fleeting, but during the day, Charon is aware of it, and at this time, he has been able to penetrate the false illusion and see the half-human monster hidden in the shadows.
The other party's limbs were spread, and the whole person was lying on the ground, the body of the shadow race was not strong, but there were prominent black blades on the outside of the two arms, as well as on the back heels, and the black back was filled with a faint black aura.
Shadow hunters, legendary born assassins, are extremely few in number, and now the entire Shadow Race is on the verge of extinction, and in most cases can only be known from the classics.
Good luck....
In the distance, the sharp and deformed claws pressed lightly on the ground, and the shadow hunter forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, calmly maintaining a low posture, but even so, he could still feel the gaze from afar, without any emotion coldness, and the other party did not even hide it.
A slight cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and although he wanted to deceive himself, judging from the current situation, the other party had completely penetrated the illusion around him, otherwise he would not be able to explain the situation at all.
Was it because he was too reckless in his previous rapid sneaking, so he showed his head, or did this knight legion have a real weapon that can detect him?!
His mind was racing wildly, but he knew very well that whatever it was, once the racial talent he relied on was no longer valid, the situation would become quite dangerous.
Just as the shadow hunter was about to turn and run immediately, the pressure that enveloped him suddenly disappeared, and the change made his body stiffen again, but his heart beat uncontrollably.
After more than a dozen breaths, the only sound in the quiet environment was the squeaking of insects, and nothing else changed.
The Shadow Hunter raised his front paws at an extremely slow pace and leaned forward with a low body, as if trying to continue closer to the camp's magical barrier.
However, at the beginning of this action, a ghostly light suddenly appeared on his whole body, and he activated the racial stealth talent, and the whole body melted into the ground with a shadow, and quickly fled in the opposite direction with lightning speed.
Whew-
The cold wind blew in the middle of the night, the leaves of the bushes swayed low, and the shadow hunters had long since disappeared without a trace......
Charon on the watchtower frowned slightly, he had expected the outcome of the Shadow Race's escape, and he was only entangled in other things.
He raised his right hand to look at it for a moment, and finally shook his head, the constructing technique really couldn't imitate the talent of the shadow race, it was a field involving the origin of the bloodline, not a simple energy model formation.
Just as Charon was pondering, the magic runes on the round platform suddenly flickered, he stopped thinking, turned around and walked to the round platform, and injected the fighting energy into this magic array medium, and soon the voice of the great knight Paul came from the six-pointed star rune.
"Del Knight, what did you find on the watchtower, why hasn't there been any movement?"
"To the northeast, to the left, three thousand meters away, the breath of three enemies, two of whom are witches, and the other is suspected to be from the Church. ”
"There's a witch in the river to the west, and there are big witchcraft fluctuations starting before ten breaths, so it's recommended to interrupt them first. ”
"In the dense forest to the east, a large amount of life breath appeared, and it was basically determined that it was a summoning spell of the dark race. ”
Probably didn't expect to get such a crisp and neat answer, the big knight on the other side, Paul, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little question: ".... Are you sure?"
"Sure. Charon's answer was brief.
"In that case, then I'll make a defense plan with the others first, and if they dare to come over, remember to remind us that we have to pay a price. ”
"Good. ”
Although the other knights who led the team were suspicious, considering that Charon was already a high-ranking person, and that they had previously been members of the investigation team, they carried it out quickly.
The hundreds of knights they led were ready to go, and the weapons of war such as crossbows were ready, and they went in different directions.
In the past, they couldn't determine the enemy's position so quickly, after all, the enemy was very careful in their movements, and they often couldn't hide their breath until the last step, and they must not have retreated now.
If the news is reliable, it undoubtedly means that this Del Knight, who is temporarily traveling with them, is far superior to other knights in terms of perception, and if it is not reliable, there is naturally Anthony Knight, the main general, to clean up the other party.
As the knights quietly turned on the gears of war, their enemies began to raid at the same pace, unaware of the danger approaching them.
