The head of the White Hart Knights of the Kingdom of Florence, Fuldan, was a well-known expert in defensive warfare among the members of the Glorious League, and a royal retainer on whom Philip II relied on his right-hand man - after leading his troops out of the fortress of Tallon, although there was no warning of danger, the cautious knight commander still ordered his troops to advance in a wedge formation ready for battle, even at the expense of speed.

As one of the two pillars of the Florentine Kingdom, the White Deer Knights are undoubtedly strong in combat ability, and the Captain of Fuldan firmly believes that even in the face of the attack of the legendary powerhouse, the White Deer Knights can still attack and defend in an orderly manner, and finally force back or even kill the other party at a small cost.

The sunlight in late spring is a little strong, and when it shines on the armor, it brings not only warmth, but even a kind of restless scorching. Captain Fuldan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, for since His Majesty Philip II's decision to reject Levi Stern, he had always been in a state of apprehension, and he had always had a sense of foreboding. Although Commander Fuldan hid his anxiety under a mask of calmness, as the troops continued to advance, the sense of foreboding did not lessen, but intensified.

This anxiety eventually brewed into an emotion bordering on anger, and as the sun rose to the highest point of the heavenly dome, Captain Fuldan raised his right hand and motioned for his troops to halt their advance, then ripped off his helmet and shook his dark brown hair violently.

Marquis Reguna, the leader of the Blue Wolf Knights, rode his horse from the back of the group, his face a little gloomy and unhappy, "Lord Fuerdan, why do you want to stay here?" he said in a very unceremonious tone, "We have just left the fortress of Talon a few hours now. Not out of the danger zone yet. And there is no danger to defend here, and the Griffin Knights' long-distance raids and field combat capabilities are terrifying, and if that Levi Ston Regent changes his mind, we may well be forced into a very disadvantageous confrontation. ”

"Lord Marquis Reguna. I didn't absolutely believe what the young regent of Arthur's kingdom meant. "From the morning, we galloped for three hours in a row, although not the fastest, and the horses and the ordinary knights were also tired, and had to rest for a few hours before they could regain their full combat ability. ”

"Instead of camping here. Why don't we continue the journey while it's still early?" Marquis Reguna let out an irritated snort, "so that at nightfall we should be able to reach the Berau outpost near the border, where there are stone walls, deer barricades, and guard towers, and other defensive facilities, although not enough to accommodate all the members of the Order, at least much safer than here?"

"This doesn't look like your style, Lord Marquis Reguna. Do you also sense that some kind of danger is coming?" said Captain Fuldan's face, a hint of surprise.

"Danger, no!" Marquis Reguna's reaction was obviously excessive, not only in a fierce tone, but also subconsciously stroking the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand. Seeing Fuldan's head pointing at him, he pouted. He shook his head a little frustratedly, "Well, though I don't want to admit it, Lord Fuldan, I do feel that danger is approaching. I don't know how to describe it, but if I had to describe it, it was like a decisive charge of disparity in strength, and the breath of death lingered in my ears like a shadow. ”

"You need not be frustrated, Lord Marquis Reguna, for I feel the same way as you. Captain Fuldan raised his hand and stroked the white antlers on his helmet. "I've been feeling uneasy since I left Talon Fortress, and it's getting stronger over time, so I'd rather slow down my march and keep my troops in a formation ready for battle. ”...,

Marquis Reguna frowned deeply. Although the expression cannot be said to be disdainful, it can be said to be dismissive, at least disapproving, "Lord Fuldan, it seems to me that your excessive caution is the reason for the danger, if we start to gallop at full strength after leaving the Talon Fortress, we can now see the guard tower standing behind the border." ”

"No, if we do that, we will never want to see such a view, and we will definitely die in a foreign land......" Captain Fuldan narrowed his eyes in confusion, and then his pupils suddenly dilated, and his face also showed a complex expression mixed with surprise, anger and panic, "It's not good, be careful of the enemy's sneak attack!"

This reminder came too late. Before the words of the head of Fuldan fell, a burst of screams and roars came from the tight array, dozens of war horses neighed at the same time, and the scene of jumping up and kicking the front hooves was tragic, and the owners of half of the war horses were caught off guard, and were overturned in the rising smoke and dust, and then were trampled by countless iron hooves, either dead or injured, the chaos expanded rapidly, and in front of the war horses kicking and colliding, many knights were forced to flee outward, and the array of knights of the Kingdom of Flora was completely disrupted at once.

The Marquis of Reguna drew his sword in his hand with a sonorous sound, but he didn't know where the enemy was, or where they came from, "The gods should die!" Seeing that the Knights of the Blue Wolf were badly injured in the chaos, the sword-wielding Marquis couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, stepped on the stirrups and stood up, raised the knight's sword in his hand high, and let out a howl like a wolf's howl.

"The Knights of the Blue Wolf belong, move closer to me, move closer to me, I'm Reguna, your leader!"

The Marquis of Reguna's approach had obviously had some effect, and some of the blue wolf knights who had broken away from the array saw the familiar figure of the knight leader, and their hearts immediately calmed down, and they began to shout to maintain order and calm their companions from the chaos.

"Don't panic, Wolf Knights, move closer to me, form a circular array, and watch out for ......"

"Lord Marquis Reguna, be careful!" Captain Fuldan suddenly let out a shout that bordered on a terrible scream, as he rode his horse towards the Captain of the Blue Wolf Knights, who was shouting orders on horseback. However, just as the head of his horse was almost about to hit the mount of the Marquis of Reguna, it suddenly went dark in front of him, and then a gust of wind that seemed to come from hell blew, and the flesh and internal organs of the horses and men flew away like a bloody rain, and sprinkled the head of Captain Fuldan all over his face.

Seeing the body of the Marquis of Reguna suddenly explode along with his mount, the body of the leader of the White Deer Knights was completely shocked by great fear, and he almost didn't even have time to turn the horse's head. If it weren't for the desperate rush of several detachments of the White Hart Knights, Captain Fuldan would have repeated the fate of Marquis Reguna - being torn to pieces by the terrible monster that suddenly emerged from the ground.

"Oh my God, what a monster!"

"Bugs, bugs!"

"Lord of Glory, Flandara, what is that?" the voice was almost mournful, especially from King Philip II, who was heavily protected by hundreds of knights. His Majesty's expression was visibly glazed, his eyes seemed to be sucked, and he couldn't leave the monster that came out of the ground.

It wasn't a creature that was supposed to exist in the world, but a terrifying monster that could only be seen in the deepest and darkest nightmares. It seems that the Creator inadvertently took a nap while shaping it, and forcibly mixed some earthly beasts and insects together to form this creepy monster just by looking at it. The nearly ten-meter-long body is covered with gray-black scales, but it is impossible to mistake the scales of the dragon, if the dragon's scales seem to be gems, then the scales of this monster are like countless cockroaches lying on the surface of the body, the monster's mouth is very large, and it has a complex oral structure, and the hundreds of sharp teeth that are constantly wriggling form a terrifying grinder capable of chewing anything into a ball, and some even grow on the strange tongue that sticks in and out like a living worm. ...,

Although they felt disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, the battle-hardened knights of the Kingdom of Flora certainly did not back down, especially the blue wolf knights, who shouted the slogan of avenging the captain while inspiring a dazzling fighting spirit and surrounded the monster from all sides.

The knights' encirclement, though it seems to be very tight, is not a good way to deal with monsters that can easily burrow in and out of the ground. However, it did not flinch, but danced several pairs of large claws on its forelimbs, and a strange and piercing neighing sound came out of its mouth, which made many knights' war horses under their crotches let out a sad roar and hesitated, and a huge hole immediately appeared in the originally tight encirclement.

"Dismount and surround it!" someone shouted.

"No, that guy can tear the captain to shreds in one fell swoop, and we're no match for him at all when he dismounts. A calmer blue wolf knight objected. Just when the two sides were arguing, a scream sounded from the outside of the encirclement again, and dozens of war horses fell down with a scream, their abdomen bright red, and their internal organs were hollowed out by the monster hidden in the ground at some point.

Digging open the bellies of dozens of war horses in an instant, of course, it was not just something that this monster in front of him could do, as the chaos intensified, the earth trembled violently, and kept cracking huge gaps, allowing equally large and ugly monsters to climb up.
