Chapter 455: The Return (2)
There used to be more than 3,000 regular knights stationed in Kra City, but after the other two Acropolis moved over, the number almost doubled, and such a large number of knights gathered in a limited area that even the air became viscous, and the weight could be clearly felt.

For outsiders who have just arrived here, the blood and qi that envelops the entire city are suppressing themselves all the time, and they can only adapt to it after a long period of running-in, allowing their qi and blood to merge into it.
Ordinary people simply can't survive in such an environment, even the knight squires sent to deal with the sundries have certain physical requirements, and high-level squires can be said to be the minimum standard.
Of course, such an environment is not a problem at all for the great knights of the investigation team, who have been fighting in the more complex and harsh wilderness for a long time, and the suppression from the Acropolis can be said to be very friendly and gentle.
"It's so comfortable here, after this mission, I applied to be transferred to the Acropolis, and the battle is still more interesting than the number of people fighting and the number of people is less. ā
A sickly-looking knight yawned, and everyone else knew that he was just joking, and how could he easily change his habits and hobbies by lurking in the humid jungle and attacking the hunters who attacked lone enemies.
However, a group of people began to laugh and scold on this reason, and they who had been nervous for a long time outside could only get a short rest and relaxation in the alliance's own territory.
Soon they were taken to the testing area of the outer city, and although their identities had been verified according to the bound information crystal before entering the city, more detailed examination was still necessary.
Every year, there are knights who are controlled and cursed, and their behavior is not abnormal on weekdays, but at a critical moment, they may become puppets controlled by the remote.
In order to avoid major hidden dangers, the alliance used a large number of precious resources to cast a large number of Lammings quenching tables.
On the open field, this Lammings quenching platform is like a competition ring, and the outline of the silver-gray outer wall is carved with intricate runes.
There are various types of weapons embedded on the edge of the stage, including wide-bladed knight's swords, one-foot high battle axes, knightly spears, bows and arrows, etc., which are basically different, and the only thing in common is that they all have a certain amount of spiritual wisdom, in other words, they are real weapons of good quality.
Under the traction of the power of the magic array, these real weapons can temper the things on the platform with sword intent, in addition to checking the knight's physical state and eliminating the alien power, they also have certain benefits for the knight itself, so even if some knights don't like this cumbersome method, the dissatisfaction in their hearts will be reduced a lot.
Randy, the great knight in charge of controlling the refining platform, came to Gano, raised his right hand and clasped it on the silver chest armor, looked directly at the latter, and meticulously completed the knightly salute before he spoke: "Lord Gaino, the source power spar has been filled, and you and your subordinates can start refining now." ā
"I'm sorry for you, Knight Randy!" Gano replied with a steady salute before nodding to the others behind him.
One after another, the knights of the investigation team ascended the refining platform and stood in the center of the formation, and in the trembling hum of the real artifact, the white floating light jumped back and forth, constantly passing through their bodies.
After some detection, there was no worst-case scenario, and by the way, the revenge marks planted by the dark race on the three knights were removed.
After the satisfactory result came out, Knight Randy's grim face softened, and he gestured into the distance, and then took out a palm-sized brown round shield, and injected fighting energy to relieve the vigilance above.
In order to prevent a possible bad situation, there will be a thousand-strong cavalry regiment near the tempering platform, and when there are big knights to test, they will change into heavy armor and ride on war horses.
In the event of an accident on this side, they will open the gates of the camp and charge down the wide avenue to crush any unrest.
After the inspection, Gayno and the members of the investigation team went to the resettlement site prepared for them in Kra City, where they would rest for the whole day and not leave until tomorrow evening.
The Acropolis Corps has never been stingy with the formation of the investigation team, which often goes deep into dangerous situations, and prepared a sumptuous meal for them that night, all of which came from the other side of the river, and all kinds of fierce beasts with vigorous blood and blood in the 100,000 rock peaks.
In addition, the investigation team also has other preferential treatment in the city, such as the warranty of the equipment of the forging shop, the priority of purchasing materials, and the preferential treatment of drug supplies, which is almost all-round.
However, this situation is quite normal in the war situation, and the strong with meritorious deeds have privileges, as long as they do not cross the line, no one can oppose it, this is the iron rule set by the alliance.
The Grand Commander of Kra City, Saloyan, who had been friends with Gaynor for many years, left the venue in the middle of the banquet and went to the highest watchtower in the inner city.
Uncorked from the wine bag, Saroyan poured the liquor into his mouth and gulped it down, not damaging the spilled wine and dripping a large handful of his white beard.
The liquor mixed with medicinal herbs burned the entire esophagus, and the chest was like a fire, and the heat constantly stimulated the internal organs and suppressed the pain of the old disease.
After this heat spread through his body, Saloyan exhaled a long white breath, and then he turned to Gano and asked loudly, "Didn't your investigation team focus on the Twilight Forest before, why did you have time to come to my side?" I haven't heard the news that the Lord Commander is going to march to the 100,000 Rock Peak. ā
This deafening and open voice poured into his ears, and Gaino's face couldn't help twitching twice, but it was also fortunate that he used the treasure in advance to open the isolation circle, otherwise this voice would have spread throughout most of the inner city.
"The church is not as complex as the Dark Council, and it takes a lot of preparation to enter the 100,000 Rock Peak, and you haven't heard any movement here, which means that the Lord Commander has no plans to act for the time being. ā
"Is that something else?" Saloyan wrinkled his nose and stared ahead, suddenly becoming serious, exuding a strong fierce aura on his body.
Gano turned his head to stare at the other for a moment, then silently took two steps back to the side, and sure enough, he soon heard the sound of a wine belch that was both familiar and disgusting.
So he had to temporarily close the barrier, wave his hand to fan the wind, sweep away the unpleasant smell, and snorted heavily: "Saroyan, if you don't change this habit, it's hard for me to be sure if I will beat you in the future." ā
"Oh, fights, I don't care. Saloyan disagreed, glancing up at Gaynor, who was taller than him, "You should know that I don't fight alone, so if you want to beat me, be prepared to beat the entire legion." ā
"By the way, I've had more knights in charge lately, a little more than twice as many as before, hahaha-"
Saloyan slapped Gano on the shoulder, his fat face fluttering with his eyebrows, and he did not hide his shamelessness, it was hard to imagine that he was a majestic regiment commander in normal times.
But when Gaino's gaze became colder and colder, Saloyan restrained his arrogance and diverted the topic: "What did you say before..... Oh yes, you've traveled all the way here with a bunch of people, what kind of secret mission are you going to do?"
"It's not a secret, you should know about the heavy losses of the investigation team last time, when it was surrounded by the dark legions, I had to use my hole cards to evacuate, leaving two members .....behind."
Standing on the edge of the sentry and looking out into the darkness in the distance, Gaynor's voice grew a little muffled.
"One of them can confirm that he is still alive, and the commander has given him a mission to search for his traces, and as far as I am concerned, there are some situations that I want to know from him personally. ā
After the atmosphere became solemn, Saroyan didn't have the heart to make any mistakes, patted his old partner who was worried about it, and said sincerely: "You have shouldered everyone's lives, you have done nothing wrong, and since you are still alive, I believe that with your strength, you will be able to save him soon." ā
Although the ending will not be too good, Saloyan sighed in his heart, at this time he thought that the survivor in the mouth of his old partner was captured by the Dark Council.
Just as he pondered how to divert the conversation again, his knight of the guard was hurrying out of the stairway of the watchtower, and Gaynor, who was also aware of the situation, had raised his hand to close the barrier.
"My lord, there is an unidentified knight outside the city who wants to enter the city...."The knight who came came gave a brief salute and immediately opened his mouth to report.
"Then let Luke check his identity according to the process, does this need to be reported to me?"
Saroyan frowned, and a heavy pressure naturally emanated from his body, and the guards who were staring at him were stunned in their hearts, and hurriedly continued what he had not finished speaking.
"The other party claims to be a member of the investigation team, but there is no information crystal to prove his identity, and according to the serial number he provided verbally, it is possible to find ....."
Before the guards could finish their words, Gano had already stepped out and asked in a deep voice, "Did he say his name?"
"Yes, my lord, he calls himself Charon Del. ā
Seeing the partner whose face changed, Saroyan suddenly thought of a possibility, and said in surprise: "It can't be the one you just said, right?!"
