Volume 3 The Shadow of Uxir Chapter 205 Nightmare Knights
The Nightmare Knights, like O'Gree the Scavenger, are terrifying to the people of the royal capital.
However, the fear of these knights was still not as high as that of Ogray, as they were at least under the control of the Raymond family, whose only duty was to defend the royal capital in the shadows.
The members of the Knights were all dressed in pure black armor, riding all black war horses, and the long swords in their hands were also pure black, and the only variegated color on their bodies was the green light emitted from their eyes, like wild beasts.
Since no one had ever seen them for what they really were, there was reason to suspect that the demons from hell were hidden beneath the dark armor.
In addition, the Nightmare Knights' name is just a nickname given to them by the populace, but in fact, their official name is the Knights of the Uxir, which also means that their faith represents the World Tree of the empire thousands of years ago.
At this time, after receiving the captain's final order, a soldier with a fast foot immediately rushed towards the Raymond family's mansion.
However, as soon as he came to the street, he saw a black shadow flashing in the alley on the side of the street, and now there was an emergency, of course he would not care about those trivial matters, but the flash of green light still made his heart tighten, and he stopped unconsciously.
Before he could react, dozens of dark shadows appeared on the street, and the weather was clear, and the sun shone brightly on their armor.
The soldier shuddered, but the captain's order sustained him as he walked towards the terrifying black shadows.
In the process, more and more dark shadows emerged from the alley, until he came to a dark shadow and looked up to see hundreds of people.
The soldier had only one thought in his heart, and sure enough, the Nightmare Knights had been secretly guarding the royal capital, and in the event of an emergency, they would appear.
When the soldier was distracted, the black knight in front of him did not blame him, but stood still like a statue.
After a while, the knight got out of the way, and from behind came a more burly black knight, his height was a head higher than that of the people around him, his broad palms seemed to be able to easily crush the heads of others, and the surface of the armor was engraved with a large number of intricate patterns, as well as spike-like protrusions.
Strangely, the knight's weight seemed to be definitely not light, but he walked quietly.
The soldier was even more shocked when he saw the black knight, who was clearly the leader, and was speechless.
"You, leave here with the rest of the soldiers defending the city." The black knight's tone was cold, and it seemed to carry irrefutable power.
“…… Ah, yes, yes. ”
The soldier hurriedly agreed, and then ran back to inform everyone.
Before the members of the Nightmare Knights appeared, they had scared the populace away with their appearances, and by this time, the area of the royal capital had been completely emptied.
"Listen," said the leader of the Nightmare Knights, Mongues, turning back to the knights behind him, "none of these dragon-scale monitor lizards are to be let go, or they will come to see them." ”
Immediately after, a resounding answer came from behind him.
"Yes!"
The next moment, the members of the Nightmare Knights passed by the soldiers who had fled to the city, and the sound of hundreds of black swords unsheathed at the same time made their scalps tingle.
And when they came to the city gate, all the thick logs that supported the city gate were broken, and the stone gate was torn to pieces in an instant, and a large number of dragon-scale monitor lizards swarmed in.
Although the knights' heads were covered with thick helmets, their immobile posture showed that they had no fear.
In the next moment, the two sides finally made contact, and the knight's black sword stabbed straight into the monitor lizard's heart, but it was quickly bounced away by the hard scales, and the monitor lizard's sharp claws came one after another, directly slapping the three knights away.
However, the armor on their bodies played a great role, and they immediately got up and charged at the monitor lizard.
The other knights were not so lucky, they were pounced on by the monitor lizards rushing in front, although the fangs and sharp teeth failed to tear the armor apart, but the monitor lizards crowded in behind them stepped on them, and directly trampled their bodies flat.
However, a green glow appeared on the dead knight's body, and then turned into countless small points of light that burrowed into the armor of the other knights.
"Rest in peace, my fellow citizens."
Mungus closed his eyes slightly and said a simple prayer for the dead knight.
In the next moment, he also made a move, and rushed to the front of the line after only a few steps.
The greatsword, twice as wide as the other knights' blades, came out of its sheath and slashed right at the head of one of the monitor lizards that rushed up, and the result was the same, failing to penetrate the scales, but the force shook the monitor lizard into a daze.
Mongues seized the opportunity to leap to his feet and stabbed the monitor lizard in the eye.
Immediately afterwards, the monitor lizard made a terrible sound and began to roll on the ground, and Mongues could not stand on his feet, so he had to let go.
Seeing this, a knight next to him rushed forward with his agility and plunged his sword deeper into the depths, successfully destroying the monitor lizard's nervous system before finally stopping the behemoth.
Mongues nodded to the knight in thanks, then drew his greatsword and turned his gaze to the next monitor lizard.
The other knights immediately followed suit, trying their best to stick their swords into the monitor lizard's eyes, and almost every five knights could kill one out of every five knights.
Fortunately, the gates were small enough that no matter how large the number of monitor lizards were, they could not all enter in a short period of time, and the knights saw the moment and quickly brought them down every time they entered.
In addition, the armor on these knights has special abilities, and every time someone dies in battle, their power will be absorbed by other knights, and then the entire knight order can be strengthened in combat effectiveness.
In this way, half an hour passed, and the corpses of more than sixty dragon-scale monitor lizards were lying on the side of the city gate, which was literally piled up into a mountain.
The knights wanted to get rid of all the corpses that had piled up, but Munges told them that having them in the way would slow down the dragons' attack.
Because of his actions, the remaining monitor lizards had to exert a lot of effort to burrow into the city, and countless black swords awaited it.
Mungus nodded contentedly, then waved a knight to him.
"You go above the city walls and see how many monitor lizards are out there."
"Yes."
It was the knight who had helped Mungus earlier, and he quickly climbed the wall, then picked up the scout's lost binoculars, and then indicated with his hand the number of monitor lizards left.
However, just as Mongues was relieved that there were less than ten monitor lizards left, a huge and dazzling fireball fell from the sky, instantly enveloping the knight on the city wall.
"What!"
Mongoth's eyes widened, and then he looked up into the sky to see a behemoth with wings approaching the ground, spitting out flames.
"Cut, I'll just say it's unusual for so many monitor lizards to appear here, is this the dragon clan going to declare war on us?"
Everyone looked up, and for a moment they forgot that the monitor lizard was still struggling to drill into the city, causing the knights to scramble, and after finally dodging the monitor lizard's attack, they ran head-on into the fireball.
As a result, screams rang out one after another, and Munges had to give the order for the knights to retreat.
"Get out of here, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
But the knights were unmoved, and the knights who survived the fireball rain quickly eliminated the monitor lizards and dispersed, some of them responsible for exterminating the remaining monitor lizards, while others were responsible for attracting the attention of the black dragon.
"Tsk, fools, how can you stop the dragons."
Mungus scolded angrily, but his heart was moved, it seemed that he had not cultivated useless knights.
At this time, there were still more than sixty knights left, and Mongues quickly made a strategic deployment, letting most of them go to clear the monitor lizards, and he was responsible for dealing with the black dragon, and some people who wanted to come forward to help were directly drunk back by him, so they had to stay by the side, ready to sacrifice for the head of the regiment at any time.
Munges smiled helplessly, then held his greatsword horizontally in front of him, using it to ward off the scorching heat of the dragon's breath.
Sure enough, in the next moment, a huge fireball fell on the blade of the sword, and the strange thing was that this fireball had an astonishing weight, even if Mongos's strength was much more than ordinary people, he felt very difficult.
While he fended off the fireball, the black dragon finally landed on the ground.
"It's really troublesome, all the good monitor lizards have been killed by you, how can I deal with Cones."
"Huh," Mungus struggled to bounce off the fireball, then asked aloud, "Are the dragons going to war against the humans?" ”
"Hehe, so what?" The black dragon smiled disdainfully.
Of course, he didn't represent the entire dragon clan, and he was banished by the dragon king hundreds of years ago, but at this time, he didn't care whether the dragon clan and humans would go to war or not, rather, he liked the result, in short, he only needed to create chaos in the royal capital as Kones asked now.
"Captain, the monitor lizard has been cleaned up." A knight reported to Mongues from a long distance.
"Very good, you ......"
Before Mongos could finish speaking, the black dragon casually spat out a dragon's breath, burning the reporting knight to ashes.
"Annoying bugs, don't bother me."
"You!" Mungus stared at him viciously.
"Hey, the eyes are good," the black dragon said in a flirtatious tone, "What the hell is the green light all about?" Could it be some kind of magic? It's really a bad day, and even knights are starting to get into magic. ”
After the black dragon said this, the scene fell silent for a while, and after a while, Mongues raised his head and said word by word.
"Black Dragon, report your name, I won't kill the nameless."
"Hehe, it's quite fierce, but I don't want to give my name to the weak." The black dragon smiled, then took a deep breath and exhaled an even more violent dragon breath.
"Cut, the guy who doesn't talk about martial arts."
Munges knew he couldn't stop it, so he had to retreat behind him, but after taking a few steps back, he realized that there were other knights not far behind him.
"Hey, did you hear me, hurry up and retreat for me, don't you even listen to my orders?"
However, the knights remained indifferent, and when he was not paying attention, a knight rushed in front of him, and even blocked the dragon's breath directly, leaving only a charred body.
"What are you doing here? I managed to dodge the enemy's attack, but I couldn't dodge the mental blow to me from you fools, and I was really convinced. ”
"Commander," one of the knights stepped forward, "you know that we are not afraid of death, we are only afraid of the point of living, so please leave us alone and attack as much as you like, if this battle is a battle between humans and dragons, we are willing to act as pawns." ”
“…… Damn, it looks like I didn't teach you well. Mongues was annoyed.
As he spoke, another shot of dragon breath erupted, which was blocked by one of the knights with his body, and his power turned into points of light, allowing the others to be strengthened, and the next knights were even able to block two dragon breaths at once.
Even the black dragon was startled by such a scene, and he couldn't help but feel afraid, but after thinking about it, how capable a mere insect could be, he spit out dragon breath again.
Mongues finally realized that he couldn't let his men die in vain, so he immediately put on a posture to unleash his sword skills.
He stuck the black giant sword on the ground, then gently closed his eyes, and the black dragon's dragon breath became more violent, but it was blocked by the human wall formed by the knights.
After about ten seconds, Mongues suddenly opened his eyes, drew his black sword, and a thick fog as black as ink rose from the ground, and in a short time it enveloped the black dragon.
“…… What's the situation? ”
The black dragon suddenly panicked, he felt that his whole body had become very heavy, and he couldn't fly even if he wanted to.
"Damn it, come on!"
Meng Gus roared and raised his giant sword, and an almost infinite pillar of light extended from the tip of the sword, and then swung it with all his might, directly cutting off the black dragon's body.
“…… But, damn it! The black dragon's eyes were full of disbelief, and then he only felt weak, "How can I lose to these bugs......"
Eventually, the black dragon collapsed on the roof of a residential area, crushing a large part of the building.
Munges stuck his greatsword into the ground and himself fell to one knee, panting.
On the roof not far away, Cones looked at the scene and smiled.
"It's okay now, the guy who asked for the debt is gone."
As he spoke, he directly opened a spatial crack and teleported away.
