Lan's original intention was to let this Lothric knight have something to top first.

But unexpectedly, when Lan En's hook lock pulled the kite-shaped shield over and handed it to the knight chief.

The chief knight of Lothric seemed to be stunned suddenly.

Beneath his lifted visor, there was an eyebrow that was missing half, as if the flesh of the half-eyebrow had been directly shaved off during a battle, and after forming a scar, he lost the ability to grow eyebrows.

At this time, the eyebrows and a half are like two long snakes with one long and one short, writhing.

"It's."

The chief knight plunged his greatsword into the crevice of the stone bricks of the staircase.

His hands took the kite-shaped shield that Lan En handed over, his hands trembling slightly, as if he didn't want to believe what was happening in front of him.

Or rather, he was resisting what was happening in front of him.

But in the end, the tenacity and strength of the knights prevailed.

His hand regained composure, and the metal gloves tugged at the flaming red cloak behind him, and began to wipe the surface of the kite-shaped shield.

As the bright red cloak gradually turned black with ashes, the originally buried lines on the shield began to appear.

It is a blue underside decorated with a zither-shaped shield with a golden dragon pattern. The shape is delicate and gorgeous.

But obviously, what makes the knight so out of shape has nothing to do with its 'exquisite and gorgeous'.

"Dragon Pattern Shield?!"

Even when the enemy who had cleared the entire staircase with a sword just now and was wounded himself, the knight chief's voice had never been so dry.

It was as if he was not holding a shield of sorts, but some terrible omen.

"There's something wrong with this shield?"

Lan En asked softly without a trace.

He now feels that this sudden attack on the bridge into the city of Lothric is about something. I guess it's a big deal.

"It's the best shield in the world against flames."

The chief knight almost gritted his teeth and told the story of the shield.

"Even the black iron shield held by the infamous [Hunting Knight], as well as the black knight shield of the black knights of the mythological era, are inferior to it!"

"This is the fire protection that can only be achieved by attaching magic to it, and it is a blue shield with magic power!"

"How could this thing be in the hands of the rioters?!"

Just listening to the introduction of the knight chief is enough to appear as a precious shield.

But as Lan and the knight's gaze stretched towards the bridge deck.

A handful of enemies who have been burned to death by the dragon's breath, and many more who are still fighting in the waves of dragon's breath, all of them have these shields on their hands and on the ground!

As if remembering something, the knight slammed down on Lan's shoulder and said hurriedly.

"Your craft! Can I use it again? ”

"Of course."

Lan raised his left hand, and the hook and lock mechanism on his armarmor opened and closed with his movements, making a mechanical 'click' sound.

"What are you going to do?"

"Can you drag that man's corpse over the one lying next to the dragon pattern shield?"

Lan En looked at the anxious knight chief, who had already tied the inner leather strap of the dragon pattern shield to his hand.

It seems that if Lan En says 'no', he will rush out with his shield on his head.

The hook lock once again crossed a distance of more than twenty meters, grabbed a charred enemy corpse, and dragged it back to the safety of the stairs.

Before the hook could fully shrink, the chief knight leaned out and grabbed the corpse by the neck. Then the iron-gloved hands began to rummage through the corpse's clothes and small bags.

Finally, he pulled out a small iron box.

The same expression as when he wiped the face of the dragon pattern shield just now, the knight chief didn't seem to dare to open the box at all and see the contents inside.

But in the end, he still opened the small tin box with a small 'squeak'.

Inside were small fiery red pills, and there were some things on the pills that resembled the slender limbs of insects.

Judging from Lan En's pharmacological knowledge, this is probably a pill that has been dried and ground into powder by insects.

This time, without the Demon Hunter asking, the Knight Chief muttered about the pill himself.

"[Bloodworm pills] to improve the body's high temperature tolerance. The technique of a secluded church. ”

As the knight chief muttered to himself, Lan also looked at the shield and the pill box with strange eyes.

After logical analysis, the witcher has grasped the point of the knight's long words.

When describing the dragon pattern shield, the knight chief's unconscious rereading is on the word 'with magical powers'.

And when describing the bloodworm pill, reread it in 'The Secluded Church'.

This attack had been planned for a long time, and with full knowledge of the dragon knights of Lothric City, it broke out now.

This is the characteristic of 'having an inner ghost'.

And now, there are also dragon pattern shields and bloodworm pills at the scene. These technologies and production methods are obviously very special things.

The magical blue shield is involved in the magician, and the pills produced in the dark church are involved in the priesthood.

These two things, although precious in themselves, are not at all taken seriously by the knight of Lothric.

What really matters is what these two things represent when they appear at the scene of the riots!

The power of Lothric's royal power comes from the support of the three pillars.

Knights representing force, sages of wisdom and research, and priests who regulate their beliefs.

And now. At least two of them are under strong suspicion!

After obtaining the Dragon Pattern Shield and the Bloodworm Pill, the Knight Captain became even more urgent.

He pulled out his great sword stuck in the gap between the stone bricks, and even carried the dragon pattern shield behind his back, passed by Lan En, and ran towards the top of the gatehouse.

Just patted Lan En's shoulder as he passed by, which was a greeting.

The dragon, which had stayed high in the air and did not enter the battlefield because there was no dragon knight, fell again, and the knight chief rode his dragon into the sky.

The three wyverns briefly gathered and circled in the sky for a while, as if exchanging information.

Then, the formation of the dragon knights changed.

Originally, the three-headed dragon flew over the bridge like a bomber, spitting dragon breath to cover the entire field.

But that's talking about waves, one end at a time, and strive to cause maximum lethality with a reasonable wave arrangement.

But this skillful and rational tactic was in vain in the face of these attackers.

It is precisely because of the waves of the dragons that they can adjust the direction of the shield in time, and use the magic power on the dragon pattern shield to resist the dragon's breath.

And the arrangement of the knight chief is also very simple.

Two dragons breathe fire from opposite sides of the bridge deck in unison, burning from head to tail, and see where a dragon pattern shield can go! How many flames to protect against!

Sure enough, the breath of the two wyverns scorched the entire stone brick bridge deck blackened, and there was a 'click' sound of the stones being burned.

At the same time, the attackers, who had repeatedly breathed several times, did not suffer serious attrition. After this time, the number of [Thunder Guns] that could be fired into the sky was drastically reduced by the vast majority!

After figuring out what the enemy's protection against the flames is, as long as the tactical arrangement is reasonable, then it is a matter of course to achieve results.

In the end, there is also an attacker lying on the stairs pretending to be dead, trying to take advantage of the dragon knights' low altitude to breathe fire, and jump up, ready to kill even one wyvern with the [Thunder Gun].

However, the knight's greatsword was far faster than the [miracle] he unleashed.

Sen Leng's blade flashed through the air, leaving only a corpse that had been cut in two.

The knight on the dragon's back had a cold gaze.

Looking at the half of the corpse, he was even more sure that this group of people knew more about the Lothric Dragon Knight.

If he hadn't discovered this enemy who had jumped over just now, maybe his own flying dragon would have been killed.

Because the angle chosen by the attacker is the blind spot of the Wyvern's vision.

If there is no enough professional guidance, then the key information of the blind spot of the flying dragon's vision will not be known to ordinary people for several lifetimes!

And if he really rushed to the bridge to find clues just now against the dragon breath of his companions, he would inevitably be burned.

After the state declined, it was also a question of whether he could react to such a sudden attack.

Fortunately, with the help of others, I was able to figure out what was going on while maintaining a perfect state.

The three-headed wyvern finally landed on the bridge unharmed.

Two of them were still turning their long necks alertly, looking around and watching, while the most seriously injured one was lying on the bridge deck panting.

"Put away all these dragon pattern shields."

The chief knight jumped off the dragon's back and commanded the other two Lothric knights.

"And the bloodworm pills in their arms, these are all put away, hurry!"

As he spoke, the chief knight himself bent down to pick up the dragon pattern shields scattered all over the place, and carried them on his back.

He picked it up as he walked towards the wall of the stairs below the doorway.

There, Lan En was caressing Kirin's forehead, as if he was waiting for him.

Several dragon shields collided with each other on the knight's long back.

He walked over to Lan En and lifted his visor.

"I'm Lorenzo, one of the Knights of the Order of Lothric."

"My name is Lanne."

The iron gloves and the leather gloves with steel armor plates on the outside were simply shaken, even if they knew each other.

Lorenzo looked into Lan's eyes as he tightened the shields on his back.

"I want you to come with me into the city and be a witness."

"Witnesses? Proof of what? ”

"Proof that these shields and bloodworm pills are the equipment that the attackers have worn and used from the beginning."

The chief knight patted the shields and 'banged'.

"Catalina, you probably don't know. The Wyvern of Lothric is a force we are known for, and we will not allow this shield to significantly restrain the flames of the Wyvern, and we will not allow it to flow to the people on a large scale. ”

"And the key to the craftsmanship of this shield lies in the magic above. This is not something that anyone can learn. ”

"There are very few places in the world where such a shield can be made."

As he spoke, Lorenzo's eyes couldn't help but look at the magnificent city at the end of the bridge.

The city of Losric was built by hollowing out the side of a mountain range.

It occurred to Lan that the place where this kind of shield could be made should obviously be a part of Lothric.

After all, the knight of Lothric used to be a knight of the dragon slayer.

In this world where the rules of the world are about to collapse, are there still internal entanglements?

Thinking of this, Lan En shook his head for granted.

In an unremarkable world, the end of the world should certainly be united.

But in this world, the bishops of the secluded churches are beginning to think of how to keep themselves alive in the deep sea age.

It's hard to say what other scholars and mages have planned.

After all, life will always want to find its own way.

"Then take me in." Lann nodded at Lorenzo. "I'm going to go into the city too."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Lanne. Rest assured, we won't waste long. ”
