"Seal: Bloodthorn (Rider's weapon).

"Description: This is a special cavalry spear encased in a thick blood gas and sealed in a double layer, with a blade and mallet that are a crystalline blood or lilac color, sharp and tough, ideal for cavalry. The ends of the lance are bound with a black rope. The magic of the Ruler and Bloodthorn unfolds in a small area without being hindered by magical confinement, blood interference, and other obstacles.

"Special Effect: Breaking the Law. Activating Bloodthorn's Spellbreaker will severely damage the target's mind, and even disrupt the will and spirit of enemies within a certain radius, making them unable to concentrate, cast spells, or maintain their mana form. The effect needs to absorb blood to activate, and the pain, gore, and madness that pervades the battlefield where the corpses rest will make it even more powerful. The interval between the spell-breaking effects is not less than fifteen minutes.

"Special effect: Blood's edge. Once activated, the life and soul energy dispersed by each enemy killed by the Ruler will be absorbed by the Commander, increasing its lethality (about 5%), healing injuries and restoring stamina for 30 minutes, stacking up to 10 stacks.

"Special Effect: Tenacity. The strange construction and exquisite craftsmanship give Bloodthorn incredible toughness, reducing the amount of back-damage the wielder takes when hitting the target, and the weapon itself will not break and has a high chance of knocking the target away.

"Special effects: subtle. The unique lance structure and perfect weapon balance take into account a variety of attack methods such as piercing, slashing, and projecting, and even perform area attacks.

"Special Effect: Armor Piercing. In the hands of a skilled wielder, there is a chance to pierce heavy armor and even dragon scales.

"Notes: The origin of this terrible weapon is unknown, the Soul has denied us communication and killed several testers, and some powerful abilities remain undetected. Before the battle, the black rope must be unlocked to release the first seal of Bloodthorn, otherwise Bloodthorn will be just a sharp and easily damaged spear.

"Negative effect: After the seal is lifted, the lance must be soaked in blood or killed every 24 hours, otherwise it will cause a rapid loss of vitality and mental power of the person in charge. The ruler will hear strange noises. ”

"I hear whispers, the seal seems to be calling to you," Arandelle said softly as she approached Griffith, looking up into his eyes, "It seems that among the extraordinaires gathered nearby, you are the only one who can wield such weapons." This seal can be lent to you if you need it. ”

Griffith's eyes could barely be removed from the bloodthorns.

The faint whisper seemed to be in my ears. The weapon is calling itself.

With this power, can I stop all of this and change Iloti's fate?

Well, at least it can break the cultists' control over Iloti. As long as I have this powerful seal, coupled with my horse and cuirass, I will be able to exert my full strength.

Yes, I can fight even against a strong Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6! Even an overwhelming number of mutated creatures can cut through them!

"Please prepare a war horse, a real war horse, and the horse needs to have a vest to protect the torso. Griffith looked Arandelle in the eye and said earnestly.

"As you wish. The glamorous daughter gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied to the ordinary midshipman.

"With so many people, how are you going to evacuate?" Griffith thought for a moment and asked. The mutated infected will kill all living creatures. ”

"Leave the evacuation to me, right?" the families of Tsuruura are not good at fighting, but they can also play a role? Will they work with the army and other defenders to build a multi-layered defense? If you're going to get close to Iloti, be sure to first clear as much of the monsters and cultists around Iloti as you can trying to control her. When you get close to her, be sure to hurry. Do you have an Echo Crystal? We can contact you within a certain range. ”

At the door of the memorial committee? Some locals have already taken action.

Griffith was respectfully saluted by a man leading a pack horse with a saddle full of bows, axes, and other weapons.

"Hello, Mr. Knight-Trainee, I am a faithful servant of Miss Salais Arandelle, and I will provide you with the supplies and intelligence I can in the ensuing battle. ”

"The city guards and other reinforcements have set up multiple lines of defense along the Queen's path, and they will try to delay as long as possible to protect the refugees. Please support them.

"Please return here in three hours at the latest, we can prepare the cuirass, the warhorse, and the activated seal for you. ”

Salais handed over the reins in his hand:

"The prepared war horse is the third generation of war horses bred in the pasture of the main island, firm and obedient, with excellent endurance and sprint. You can ride a short march and immediately jump into a charge, which can last about two minutes at a time, and if you control the horsepower, you can launch multiple short charges. ”

......

Tourists and residents attending the festival are densely packed like sesame seeds on biscuits, and the roads and pavilions from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain are densely packed. In some places with particularly beautiful scenery, they are crowded one after another.

They didn't see the horrific vision of the ashes, they were unaware of the changes in their bodies and the horrors that were coming.

There is no need to evacuate a latent infected person of this magnitude, but to keep them as far away as possible from the mutated Iloti.

But how?

In such a place, if there is a mass panic, trampling on each other will bring hundreds of casualties, not to mention that the chaotic crowd cannot find a way to escape, if they flee to Hepu Town, they will run into the runaway Iloti, and then be infected and mutated together.

If, in the unlikely event that the worst happens, will I be able to choose between Iloti and these strangers? The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he had to think about the worst-case scenario.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the altar located at the top of the mountain, and the Hanami Festival has prepared a unique birthday gift for those born in January. ”

The many glowing crystals arranged on both sides of the mountain road suddenly vibrated and a soft and sweet female voice came out. The sound doesn't come from Alandelle, but it's very pleasant.

The crowd immediately moved, and many tourists walked towards the top of the mountain. Even if it is not a January birthday, many people go to the top of the mountain to try their luck or join in the fun.

"If you are bringing children, please come to the Nansan Pavilion and prepare special activities for children at the memorial service......

Just as Griffith was thinking, another voice came from the crystal. The guests, who had just regretted their birthday, were interested again.

The slow-moving crowd flowed like melting snow, one rushing to the top of the mountain, the other towards the South Mountain. As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by a number of men and women wearing armbands of the Hepu Town Memorial Committee, leading them across the trail towards the back mountain.

In a peaceful order, tens of thousands of tourists took action and diverted to different roads. Griffith poured out his admiration in his heart, and then walked down the gentle slope of the mountain.

Arandelle's butler placed some weapons on his pack horse and followed Griffith down the hill. The number and ability of the enemy in this battle are all unknown, and the power to contain and protect Iloti must be reserved, so you must save your physical strength as much as possible.

"We have found that the Queen's approach to the Queen's ordinary people is unstoppable, but her remaining will is still trying to resist her control, stopping every once in a while," Salais said in a non-fluctuating tone, "Mr. Apprentice Knight, the Cultists have deployed some rituals to strengthen their mind control over the Queen, and you only need to concentrate on destroying one ritual to create an opportunity to contact Miss Iloti, and don't rush into attacking." ”

"Okay, I see," Griffith nodded, then added, "Iloti may still have a chance to be healed, so protect her." ”

"We don't know anything about the nature of infecting her, and less than one percent of them are likely to be rescued, so we can only do our best. Salais said calmly, not disagreeing with Knight Xi's thoughts at all.

So low...... Griffith's heart chuckled, as if something had shattered. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to support his body and mind.

"Look, the first wave of enemies is coming. Salais suddenly raised his hand down the hill.

Small black dots appeared on the street corners in the distance. As the distance approached, Griffith took the clairvoyant mirror handed by Salais and saw their shape.

The creatures remained human, staggering, twisted and shattered. As they moved, pieces of debris were falling from their bodies.

The city defense army has formed a formation at the entrance to the bottom of the mountain, receiving the residents fleeing from all sides and protecting them as they run up the mountain.

At the entrance to the outer block, a group of young soldiers occupied the houses on either side and erected barricades on the road.

"Westelo, prepare for battle!" Sergeant Oscar shouted in the distance. He is giving instructions. The young soldiers, who had already set up barricades at the street crossings, took up arms and formed battle formations behind the barricades.

Thirty young soldiers lined up with spears and shields, and another thirty raised their crossbows and aimed ahead from the gaps. Behind them, the stronger young soldiers were armed with swords, axes, and shields. All have no armor.

Griffith was stunned for a moment, and scanned the squadron with his inspiration. All the young soldiers had more or less blood surging in their bodies, but it was certain that none of them were extraordinary-level powerhouses, not even Oscar.

"Sergeant, how are you going to fight?" asked Griffith as he approached the young soldier.

He had never seen the way the Westillo Special Operations Force was fighting. On the battlefields of the Eastern Front, this mysterious unit is like a legend, always appearing without warning and fighting strange enemies, and disappearing without a trace after the battle.
