On November 1, 611 of the Third Age, the advance team of the Knights of the Blue Moon finally arrived at Middistilis, the imperial capital of the Holy Laurent Empire, after traveling through the territory of the Roland Empire for more than half a month.

The true leader of the Knights of the Moon, sitting at the bar in a condescending manner, looked at the bartender with sharp eyes.

"Have a drink. ”

The bartender was frightened into a cold sweat by Yueying's domineering spirit, and stammered and asked, "Please, may I ask Miss, what do you want to drink?"

Yueying narrowed her eyes and stretched out her pink tongue to lick her seductive red lips: "A mature woman like me, of course, drink...... Chilled milk!"

It took the bartender half a minute to remember what the word iced milk meant.

Pulling apart the wooden chair that had been polished and smooth by the years, Cangyang sat down beside Yueying: "Please give each of us a glass of beer." ”

Soon, two glasses of beer in wooden cups were served, and the snow-white foam blew a thick layer on the clear yellow liquor.

Cangyang took a sip, then pushed the wine aside.

"Sister, let me ask you a question. ”

Tsukizakura was drinking happily, half a glass of cold beer was poured, and the bitter aftertaste was on the tip of her tongue with the fragrance of hops.

"What?"

Cang Yang pointed to the calendar on the wall and said: "Our era is a Western fantasy world with a similar medieval background, but the earliest carbonated drinks were not invented until the end of the eighteenth century, so ......"

Cangyang pointed to the bubbling beer in the cup.

"So where does the carbon dioxide in beer come from?"

Tsukizakura poured the rest of the wine down her throat and pointed to the mark at the bottom of the glass, "One more glass...... Well, our world even has such nonsense as magic, magic, psionics, and fighting spirits. You don't care where the beer comes from!"

Cangyang heard him say this. Take a careful sip. His face was full of suspicion.

Yue Sakura drank the second glass of wine to the bottom: "Then let's discuss another matter." ”

Cangyang took out a full set of alchemy props from his pocket, ready to study this cup of beer of unknown origin thoroughly.

"What do you want to discuss?"

Brushing her hair, Yueying said very freely: "I didn't bring any money when I came out, did you bring it?"

Cangyang, who was titrating the solution and testing the acidity and alkalinity of beer, shook the test tube: "No, the property has always been in your tube." ”

Yueying coughed embarrassedly: "Then let's change the topic, what kind of insects do you think we can find in beer this season?"

Cangyang, who began to test the specific heat capacity of beer, lit the alcohol lamp: "Cockroaches will be active throughout the year, you should just use the Moon Priest talent to summon a few to come over and help." ”

Tsukizakura said embarrassedly again, "My ability can only summon creatures bathed in moonlight......"

"Rats or something. ”

Hear this. Tsukizakura put her hand over the cup: "...... under the moon"

Xuan Ao's spell was sung by Tsukizakura's perfect voice, and no one could understand the elven language that she muttered.

Well, it may be that the author conscience found that he did not want to pour water with spells.

The beer began to vibrate, and a silver moon was reflected in the turbid yellow liquid, and as the ripples spread, a mysterious stream began to surge upwards from beneath the beer.

"Out, out!"

Bang!

A hairy ...... Moonlight Tiger roared out of his glass and stood on the bar and looked around.

Cangyang poked the fur of the Moonlight Tiger, and said to the stunned Yueying, "Eldest sister, do all the rats over there look like this?"

"Of course not!"

Cangyang continued: "If you want to use the excuse of 'a tiger in the beer in the tavern' to escape the wine money. Obviously impossible. ”

"I know!"

Cangyang continued to say to himself: "And the Holy White City does not allow fierce beasts to be brought into the city. ”

"So what?"

Cang Yang pointed to the chaotic bar, and the guards who rushed in from outside the bar: "That means we will be discovered by the Holy See." ”

Between words. A magic missile shot out from Cangyang's fingertips, hitting the leading soldier in the chest and blasting him out of the second-floor window.

Yue Ying took the rest of the wine that Cangyang had drunk, grabbed the cup that Cangyang had drunk and pecked it down, and most of the remaining half of the wine also went down.

The flames that ignited in the palm of his hand covered the entire hand, and then flung it out slightly, and the heat swept through most of the room, and the three soldiers who stepped forward with their swords raised howled and rolled on the ground.

The other hand drew a complex magic seal in the air, and the brilliance of the mage's armor lit up on his body, and Cangyang pulled the half-drunk Yueying and jumped down from the window on the second floor.

The sleepy-eyed Moon Sakura was dragged along the road and galloped, while the Roland Imperial soldiers on the side exclaimed, "Wanted!", and the guards on duty in the nearby tower hurriedly shot at Cangyang and Yueying, and the arrows were blocked by the force field shield summoned by Cangyang.

Tsukizakura was grabbed with one hand, and she couldn't pull out her bow to fight back, so she had to take out a string of squid grille from her pocket, dodging the arrows while munching on the squid.

Kicking the guards blocking the way, Cangyang couldn't help but say, "Eldest sister, we are running for our lives." ”

Yueying replied calmly: "It's okay, it's all miscellaneous fish." ”

Before the words fell, a snowy sword light fell from the sky, if the Shattered Yang Knife in Cangyang's hand was a little slower, I am afraid that he would hate the spot.

A warrior in a silver cuirass was standing in front of the two: "Sinner, be judged!"

With that, the light fell from above his head.

――――――――――――

In early September, the Holy See issued the highest level of arrest warrant, even when the Templars led the rebellion and absconded.

Two golden swords crossed under the portraits of the Knights of the Moon, each with an angel flapping its wings on either side, holding two swords with ornate gauntlets.

Although printing technology has been relatively developed in this era, it is still very ink-intensive to print so many such complex wanted notices!

And under the wanted warrant, countless charges have been codified. Cast the evil Moon Knights into a group of extremely evil outlaws. Demonic possession. The reincarnation of evil spirits, the personal guards of the demon king, and the cult of evil gods.

Burning houses, creating massacres, luring mortals to fall, provoking wars, and even eating children! (Teacher, I'm sorry for you...... ）

Even the most demented person wouldn't do such a thing, so the only explanation is. That group of people is really the legendary demon king!(Teacher, I was wrong, I will help you wash the floor in the future...... ）

At the bottom, the eye-catching font is marked with the words 200,000 gold coins, as long as you can provide key information, you can get 200,000 gold coins!

When entering the city, Cangyang had carefully considered whether to sell his teammates in exchange for this sky-high price of 200,000 gold coins.

However, she soon chose to stand on the side of the demon king, because by Wang Ming's side, she was painting her own portrait.

And......

"It's so ugly. ”

While the Holy See was drawing on the power of the people, the Knights Templar and the Templars were mobilized. The troops stationed in various places have also begun to enter a state of combat readiness, sending patrols several times larger than in the past to search the territory.

Why do you want to make such a big fuss?

Because these last few days. The gods appeared frequently in the dreams of several archbishops.

The god pointed to the vague figures and said that they must be captured, otherwise the world will be ruined.

Ruling out the possibility that the archbishop needs to quit sex and the goddess needs to quit internet addiction, this news should be true.

So the whole Holy See buzzed up and down like a smoked hornet's nest.

Although the hunt for those people had been launched a few months ago, several secret teams of the Holy See had never returned, and the only leader of the Cursor Team who had been released back did not know anything.

Archbishop Antis is now receiving the highest instructions of the party in St. White...... No, it was to listen directly to the words of the goddess, and in case the few hypocrites - the other archbishops - the great, wise and pious archbishops took with him one of the most trusted paladins with him, just in case.

In addition to this, several war priests were placed on his side, and even a necromancer was hired!

Oh my God, an evil, blasphemous necromancer! How much pain and sin Archbishop Antis has to bear to remove the hypocritical mask of those hypocrites!

As for the reincarnation of the Demon King......

Anyway, this kind of thing happens every few decades, since the ancestors can defeat the demon king from the other world, what is the worry of the archbishop who has no real power?

Of course, if he was really killed by those hypocrites, the next day the whole empire would know that the great, wise, and pious Archbishop Antis had been murdered by the Demon King's assassins......

Then there is the eulogy and reminiscence, and his body will be burned up by the holy heavenly flames - the goddess of light is above, and it is torture against the undead and demons!

In order to prevent himself from being eulogized and cremated, Antis came out this time and brought all his family with him.

The paladin who grew up under his nose, Beloffast.

Twenty years ago, if it weren't for his own detection magic, who would have discovered that this child lying dying on the side of the road was a half-heavenly creature?

If he hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have survived for three hours, and after adopting him, he was brought up by himself as a priest and stuffed into the local Holy Knights.

From the time he swore to be a paladin at the age of sixteen, he was Antis's most loyal servant.

It's the kind of Cheng dù that "let him stir the foundation and never soak the girl".

However, while entering the city, Belofast witnessed the tragic scene of a soldier being thrown from the second floor.

If it weren't for the recent popularity of jumping off buildings in the imperial capital, then Belofast had obviously encountered a vicious violent incident, and he would never let go of the opportunity to exercise justice with kindness and order, so he drew his sword and quietly rushed forward.

Then he saw two cute girls slashing people and escaping from the bar.

Although it didn't look like the one on the wanted post, Beloffast still recognized the two demons!

He didn't hesitate to slash his ...... with a broken shoe I'm sorry, it's the evil slash, and I slashed it at Cangyang's head.

His unstoppable momentum, his perfect swing of his sword, and the holy light hanging above his head made him worthy of the name of a paladin.

The light and shadow effects of the Evil Breaking Slash are also brought into full play, drawing a gorgeous white trajectory in mid-air. And the silver cuirass also lit up with the brilliance of the [Evil Protection] spell at the right time. Paired with this near-perfect attack.

Like the sword momentum of the Nine Heavens Milky Way falling towards Cangyang's head!

I didn't hit it, though.

This story tells us. If you don't hit, then no matter how much nonsense you say in advance, no matter how much beneficial the state you have, no matter how much you adjust your position, it will be in vain!

Cangyang snapped his fingers, and a faint chaotic black light lit up on his body.

【Protective Kindness】

【Protective Order】

――――――――――――

On the outskirts of Rainbow City, the Knights of the Blue Moon are stationed.

There was a missing piece in the middle of the woods, which had been cut down as firewood when the army was lighting a fire to cook rice.

After gaining a dozen hobbit halflings to become cooks. The food of the Moon Knights has finally returned to the realm of human understanding.

Of course, Yuhuang doesn't have this blessing to enjoy food.

Because she had a cold, and she had a very severe cold, she was lying in bed all day, with ice packs on her forehead, and potions next to the bed, and the military doctor was busy around her.

Of course, only Xinglian, who was feeding Yuhuang white porridge at the bedside, knew that the reason why this Lori didn't get up was that she got up this morning and failed again!

―――――――――――― the day before. That is, October 31st, which is Halloween.

On Earth. It's just an ordinary holiday, when a bunch of idle and bored capitalist families wander the streets in the streets of the evil capitalist country dressed as skin-skinning and cramping ghosts.

On the Lord's plane, however, Halloween has a different meaning.

On this day, the portal from the lower plane to the main plane will be temporarily opened, and some evil creatures will rush from the lower plane to the main plane to hunt.

Of course, it's not catching rats and rabbits, but living people like you and me.

To put it bluntly, there will be holiday missions on this day.

On the edge of Rainbow City, three portals were opened. From sunset onwards, it acts as a neon sign in the suburbs.

In the first door, the flames of brimstone surged outward, and it wasn't long before a dragon with a dark red body wrapped around the flames of hell soared out of it.

"Happy Year of the Dragon to all...... Ah no, the old man is going to open the killing ring today!"

The large, winged lizard roared as it spewed a pillar of fire.

The feather phoenix spread its wings and staggered to its side: "Uncle, have you also become that group of evil capitalism?"

The red dragon stretched out his claws and pulled out a handful of candy out of nowhere: "Oh, Halloween gifts." I'm here mainly to inspect your army, and by the way, to pay you a greeting of the early years. ”

Yu Huang stared at the red dragon's face for a long time: "Uncle, there are still two full months left for the New Year." ”

The red dragon looked up at the celestial phenomenon, the stars had not yet returned to their positions, and it was clear that today was only the end of October.

Yu Huang pointed to the other two doors: "Did you bring those people too?"

The red dragon shook his head and said, "No, they may have come to celebrate Easter or Thanksgiving." ”

What is that......

The red dragon man, who was 100 meters long and weighed 2,000 tons, stood up, and spread out his two claws humanely: "Who do you ask me?"

A bright silver starlight exploded above the red dragon's head, and the black-haired girl stepped out of the depths of the starlight and landed on one of the red dragon's horns.

"So, what are you here for?

Xinglian quietly put the dragon's blood of the scarlet moon and collected it into a curved neck bottle.

――――――――――――

"So don't just let my blood go!"

The girl roared in a bit of anger.

"And Lao Tzu is a man!"

Yu Huang and Xing Lian dismissed the former sentence, and as for the latter sentence, it had been selectively ignored by the two.

"Really. Scarlet Moon poured a sip of chrysanthemum tea, which was the fresh chrysanthemum that Wang Ming had spent a whole week collecting on the mountain, "Even if I have strong vitality, I can't just cut my artery." ”

Yu Huang took a sip of the golden chrysanthemum tea, and let the fragrance circulate between his lips and teeth: "So what? In Scarlet Moon Mountain, when will you not be broken into ten thousand pieces of corpses in the dark night?"

Scarlet Yue coughed embarrassedly: "Anyway, I came here this time, and I have something important to tell you." What about Mia?"

"They're going on a trip at public expense. ”

"Oh...... Well, public travel?"

"Yes, you should be traveling around the world now, you don't have to think about it. If I really threw you abroad. I guess it will take you an epoch to get it back, right? How many times have you been lost in your own house this week?"

Scarlet Moon answered without thinking: "I've been lost eleven times...... Ahh

Yu Huang sighed and said, "Forget it, all dragons are road blind anyway, and I am not qualified to laugh at you." ”

"Alright, that's the end of the joke, I'm here to get down to business. The dragons need to test the combat effectiveness of your army, so I'm here to tell you in advance. ”

Xinglian held the crystal ball and recorded all the words of Scarlet Moon: "You mean. The dragon clan wants to know if the forces they have invested in and supported have any value, right?"

"That's right, we don't think we have a lot of money in cultivating the Blue Moon Knights, we urgently need an army that is vassal to the dragon clan, because of the war between Heavenly Mountain and us, the dragon clan and this army can't have much connection for the time being, and this army must have enough strength, otherwise I'm sorry for our efforts. ”

Xing Lian interrupted Scarlet Moon Yan's explanation: "That's the superficial reason, what is the reason why you really want to support us?"

The corners of Scarlet Yue's mouth curled: "Heh, of course I'm afraid that my apprentice will be persecuted by Heavenly Mountain! It's hard to find such a suitable candidate, I don't want my mantle to be passed on with me hanging up." ”

"Your mantle?"

"You probably don't know. I was one of the first spellcasters to study the way of the Battle Mage. ”

"War Mage?"

Scarlet Moon snapped her fingers, and the red robe on her body turned white like snow: "My pseudonym is Dried Tofu." ”

"It's Gandalf......"

Scarlet Moon brushed away the subtitles floating out of Xinglian's mouth: "Anyway, Mia was taken in by me to support her for the elderly." Heaven Mountain actually dares to touch her, then don't blame me for using the entire dragon clan to help Mia open double experience!"

Xinglian pointed to the two portals in the distance, "Then these two doors are what you used to test the quality of the double experience hanger?"

"A door leads to the twilight front, and after eight o'clock a group of your future enemies will be released, and your task is to destroy them. Another door leads to the stronghold behind the Dusk Front, and if you fail, the Inquisition's reserves will take over and prevent an abyssal creature from infiltrating the main plane. ”

Scarlet Moon took out a fluorescent hourglass from her pocket, adjusted the scale, and handed the hourglass to Starripple.

As a princess, Xinglian naturally knew the hourglass method, and when she saw the remaining time, her voice changed: "What? It will start in half an hour?"

Scarlet Moon was lying on the chaise longue: "It's not my business, quickly assembling and preparing for battle is also what an army should have." ”

Star Ripple jumped off the red dragon's back, and the feather fall turned into a fluffy white glow that resisted the acceleration of the fall. The long black hair was blown away by the wind, and two flares, one blue and one red, flew up in the crystal ball, and there was an immediate commotion in the military camp in the distance.

Moonset?Dark Night Ashes, the half-red dragon human brute warrior, the leader of the dragon's tooth squad, within a second of seeing the assembly order, she raised her horn and whined, and the group of soldiers who were eating, drinking, and having fun immediately rolled and crawled in emergency clothes, standing in front of her with miscellaneous weapons.

Ten minutes later, Moonset, who had managed to form a formation, drove the army in front of Xinglian.

"Report to the political commissar!The main division of the Moon Knights, the assembly is complete, please instruct!"

Looking at the group of soldiers who could barely be called a rabble, Xinglian resisted the urge to shake his head: "Take a break, Sergeant Moonset." ”

"Today, I would like to convey to you the supreme instructions of the regimental headquarters. In front of you is a portal to the abyss, from which a group of enemies of the people, very short imperialists, will escape, and we will destroy them on behalf of the Party and the people. ”

The whole army was silent.

Ice.

Seeing the embarrassing scene of the political commissar, Yueluo quickly pulled out his giant sword, stood on the ground fiercely, and picked up a large ball of mud and sand: "Down with imperialism!"

Soldiers: "Down with imperialism!"

Yueluo raised the giant sword, and the sword body engraved with patterns shone under the stars and moon: "Liberate the whole continent!"

The soldiers were like fighting dogs with chicken blood, and they raised their swords, guns, and halberds one after another: "Fight, fight, fight!"

Xinglian hurriedly hid the crystal ball behind him, and the heroism of this group could not be seen by his subordinates, otherwise he would be branded as a "demagogue".

Seeing that his morale was high, Xinglian began to think about tactics with confidence.

"Really, I only have ten minutes to think about it, where is the time!"

Scarlet Moon poured half a glass of Yin Hong's wine into his mouth: "The real war won't even give you more than ten seconds, you better get used to it early." ”

Feather Phoenix reached out and tried to snatch her wine glass, but she couldn't reach it after being lifted up by Scarlet Moon: "Commander can't drink!"

Scarlet Moon's paw slapped on Yuhuang's head and rubbed her messy blonde hair: "Don't worry, it's just an adult's drink." ”

“…… Children will believe. ”

Scarlet Moon pointed to Feather Phoenix's flat chest, "Are you an adult?"

Feather's entire face retracted into the shadows under her bangs, and the haze completely engulfed her.

――――――――――――

The first division of the Knights of the Blue Moon was established.

The Dragon's Tooth Battalion, under the jurisdiction of a small team, with a total number of thirteen, is composed of half-dragons, each of which has strong melee capabilities and is equipped with various heavy weapons, which is a rare commando and elite reserve.

The Bloodband, twenty men, is made up of warriors from all races, all armed with slatted armor and specially crafted axe guns, making them the best defensive class.

The final Phalanx Archers were a group of sixty humans, armed with heavy crossbows that could provide powerful fire support when the supply of arrows was sufficient.

Generally speaking, except for the innate divine power of the half-dragon people, the military qualities of these people are similar to the third-tier armies of second-rate countries.

The most critical problem is still the small number of soldiers, no matter how strong a single soldier is, it is not an opponent of the crowd tactics, and there is no way for their own side to replenish their troops, and the soldiers die one less and one is missing, and they dare not let them fight a war of attrition at all.

Just when Xinglian had a headache, she suddenly remembered the morning when her eldest sister and Cangyang left......

"Comrade instructor, the head of our delegation has handed over the command of the army to you, and from now on you will be the supreme commander of the army. ”

"Criticism of weapons is better than weapons of criticism, our strength is not enough, we need to preserve our strength in war, and every soldier cannot be sacrificed lightly. ”

"Therefore, when our army may suffer a devastating blow, you will open this bag, and there is a plan left by me and Comrade Cangyang. ”

Xinglian reached into the neckline, fumbled for a while, and pulled out a small silk sac.

"The chest is big, and it's really convenient to hide the confidential text. ”

Completely ignoring the feather phoenix, who had suffered another mental blow, Star Ripple opened the bag and unfolded the note with Tsukizakura's personal imprint.

"Xinglian, when you read this letter, you were already embattled. ”

"So I have prepared an absolutely perfect plan for you, to ensure that you will not lose a single soldier. ”

"I've dug a tunnel in the back hill from which you can retreat, and I promise that no one will find you. ”

Without hesitation, Xinglian crumpled the note into a ball, tossed it to the side, and smashed it into Scarlet Moon's wine glass.

Cangyang's note is written in dragon language, but the vocabulary is purgatory, and the grammar is mixed with abyssal and celestial language, if Xinglian hadn't found a translation of the lingua franca below, this note might have been drunk by the drunken Scarlet Moon just like the previous one.

"Why does this wine smell of wood pulp and ink......"

Xinglian looked around cautiously, shredded the note with the footer marked "Top Secret", crumpled it up, and whistled it out.

Scarlet Moon looked at the wine glass drunkenly: "How can this ink-flavored wood pulp drink a smell of wine......"

With that, she fell down on the chaise longue and curled up into a ball of flesh, her wings sticking out from her back, enveloping her whole body.

"Hmph, the final weapon left by Cangyang will be opened by me!"

Xing Lian looked at the gray sky, and the thunderous clouds converged into a grand vortex of clouds above him.

―――――――――――― (To be continued......)
