A large part of the reason why Malenia became the half-dead person she is today is due to herself.

And this is inseparable from the war that was dubbed 'broken'.

To put it simply, it can be understood that after the gods who guard this world disappear, the children of the gods, relatives and other forces in various places are divided into wars for the supreme authority left by the gods.

Of course, the internal causes are more complex and involve various aspects, so I will not go into detail here.

Malenia and her Knights of Rot, the most elite and powerful forces, were about to win the war when they suddenly received news that their twin brother had been taken captive.

The relationship between the two is extremely deep, even beyond the ordinary brother and sister relationship.

Therefore, regardless of the actual situation, she resolutely decided to march south to rescue her brother when the soldiers were tired and lacked logistics.

But in this era of war and chaos, one lord leading troops into another lord's territory will inevitably attract the latter's fear.

Even though Marlenia advertised that she was chasing her brother and promised to do nothing against the other lords, the warlords had already lost trust in each other after years of war.

Even some of the neutral lords had to choose to go to war with her in order to protect themselves.

So, Malenia, who was worthy of the Valkyrie, led the brave knights of the Rotten Empire to fight from the northern tip of the continent to the southernmost point, and almost all the lords along the way were defeated at her hands.

However, her weaknesses were also exposed in one war after another.

In order to save her brother, Marlenia has long lost her original calm and sanity, and has repeatedly fought against the enemy in the unfavorable situation of her own side, and won the victory entirely on her own strength.

Eventually, she paid the price for her impulsiveness and crashed headlong into the encirclement set up by the enemy.

Defeated and unable to see her brother, Maleia unleashed the curse of Crimson Corruption in despair.

She herself was devastated and fell into a deep sleep.

Later, Malenia's most powerful lieutenant, Legion Commander Finlay, took advantage of the massive outbreak of corruption as a cover and led her out of the siege and on the run.

The rest of the Rotten Knights were not so lucky, most of them died in battle, and a small number remained in this land eroded by corruption, never to find their way home.

As for Crimson Corruption, it is essentially a force that originates from an outside deity.

It can be roughly understood as a virus on the magic side, similar to mold and black light, and will cause various mutations after infection.

Lucky or unlucky, Malenia was chosen by the outer god shortly after her birth.

Analogous to a warhammer, it is equivalent to the Chosen Champion.

Although she did not like or accept this blessing, she was never able to remove the crimson corruption from her body due to the power of the gods.

Especially after this voluntary release, her infection has further deepened.

Leon was really afraid that if he stayed with her for a long time, he would suffer from a difficult corruption disease.

Thankfully, he had just carefully examined his body and found no signs of infection for the time being.

Probably because the virus was infected too much and resistant, or he was assimilated by the black light before he showed symptoms, in short, he is very healthy now.

However, for the sake of insurance, Li Ang silently distanced himself from the Valkyrie.

It's impossible to get away, and whoever kidnaps Maleia's brother is the Blood Monarch he is looking for, Monge.

Fen Lei noticed his small gesture of poking and prodding, and said sarcastically: "Is it too late to remember to be scared at this time?" ”

"Rest assured, there is a cure for corruption at home, and you don't need to be like a frightened rabbit."

"Now I order you to lean over and keep an eye on me!"

"Yes, Legion Commander." Leon reluctantly came a few steps behind her and followed.

It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, he will become the Valkyrie's human shield, guarding against the cold arrows coming from behind.

As a result, the female knight still did not give up: "You just steal the fun, there are so many people in the knights, only you are lucky enough to escape with me." ”

Although Li Ang's presence helped her share a certain amount of pressure, it also seriously slowed down the speed of her journey, and coupled with her poor health in the past few days, her mood was inevitably a little irritable.

Leon didn't share her knowledge and concentrated on enjoying the scenery along the way.

The scenery of the Dharma Ring World is really good, especially the golden giant tree in the distance, which is like an optimus pillar, big and yellow.

But Fen Lei couldn't help but disturb his interest.

"Hey, why don't you speak, I remember you used to be quite able to speak, didn't you?"

Leon turned his head and looked at her staggering back: "First, I don't call for hey, and second, I think we should find a carriage, otherwise you will die of exhaustion." ”

The female knight subconsciously retorted: "This wilderness, where to find a horse"

Halfway through the sentence, the squeak of the wheels squeaking sounded in my ears.

"There's a carriage!" Fen Lei, who has always had a bold personality, burst into a foul mouth and dropped a sentence: "Guard Your Highness, I'll go and see the situation." And he looked in the direction of the voice.

Unconsciousnessed, Malenia was placed next to a boulder.

Fen Lei's figure quickly disappeared, and Leon looked at the lonely Valkyrie and couldn't help but sigh that this legion leader's heart was really big.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he stepped forward to carefully check on Malenia's condition.

Like a soulless shell, it doesn't respond to external stimuli, if it weren't for the fact that she was still breathing, and there was a strong life force in her body, anyone would think she was dead.

After the inspection, Leon did nothing superfluous, and stood beside her with a spear, like a dutiful guardian knight.

He is the one who most expects Malenia to be safe now.

Because the Fader has not yet appeared, it is difficult for Leon to find Monge hiding in the underground world through his previous life experience in the game, and must wait for her to wake up and seek her help.

What's more, the two of them have the same goal, and they both want to trouble the Blood King.

A few minutes later, Finlay returned, first affirming Leon, who was sticking to his post: "Good job, it seems that I should consider asking you to help me share more." ”

Then, she recounted what she had just discovered: "A team of Grek knights, a dozen exiled soldiers, and two mountain demons were in charge of pulling the cart, and it looked like a convoy. ”

"It's just that I can't understand how there can be a convoy taking such a remote route."

"Isn't it going to lead us into a trap?"

Since that tragic defeat, she seems to have left sequelae, and everything looks like an ambush.

On the contrary, Leon knew the reason: "If it is Gluck's subordinate, it is not surprising, he has some little secrets that cannot be seen. ”

"Are you sure?" Metre hesitated.

Li Ang swore and promised: "Believe me, absolutely no problem!" Besides, you don't want to see Your Highness exposed to the sun and rain every day, do you? ”

Finlay thought about it for a while, and finally decided, "Done! It's just a few little minions, and their masters were beaten to their knees begging for mercy, let alone them. ”

"Very good, very energetic!" Leon then asked, "Do you go or do I go?" ”

Fen Lei looked him up and down: "For the sake of safety, I should come, and you continue to protect Your Highness." ”

Li Ang had a different opinion: "According to what you say, it is safer for you to protect her, right?" ”

The female rider instantly felt that what he said made sense, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Just such a happy decision, I went." Leon took the initiative to ask for help, because he wanted to try the quality of these soldiers to confirm what level of strength he was in the Ring World.

Whether it is stronger than those so-called demigods or weak, how much is the difference between the two?

"Be careful, don't make too much of a fuss." Finlay reluctantly agreed, and gave a timely reminder.

Leon waved behind him, signaling that he understood.

After passing through a few dense bushes, I saw the convoy that the female rider had spoken of.

A knight of Greck in a red-and-green burqa, clad in armor and armed with a spear and a large shield; Exiled soldiers who were originally prisoners, but were pardoned and recruited by Greck; A mountain demon with a huge, thin and rickety, and an eviscerated abdomen.

and heavy carriages dragged by chains.

They were about to return to their lair, Stonewell, and they were at their most relaxed, and they didn't perceive the danger approaching, and their expressions were very relaxed, and several of the exiled soldiers were talking and laughing, as if they were discussing where to go at the end of the escort mission.

Leon stuck the rotten spear into the ground, he was really not used to this thing, and it was okay to use it as an ornament.

Then he rushed out in the direction of the convoy.

The pungent stench emanating from the mountain demon quickly entered his nose, and at the same time, everyone in the transport team also felt a strong hostility.

"Rotten Knight! Why is there a rotten knight here! The captain of the knights shouted in horror.

Not long ago, they had a great battle with the Knights of the Rot, and the battle was so tragic that they still have lingering palpitations when they recall it.

The exiled soldiers who were recruited after the war did not care: "What about the rotten knights, the Valkyries are all defeated, and besides, there is only one him, there is nothing to be afraid of"

"Brothers, follow me!"

More than a dozen exile soldiers obeyed the captain's orders, brandished their weapons in their hands, and shouted to charge.

Knight Greck did not act rashly, and guarded the carriage vigilantly.

They seem to be on the same side, but in fact they don't like each other, so it's better to let these prisoners who are not afraid of death go up to test and tempt.

As for the mountain demons, with their stupid brains, they will only pull the car to its destination, and nothing else.

Seeing the enemy getting closer, Leon turned into an afterimage and swept through the crowd like the seasons, so that one could only follow the trail left behind him to confirm that he had come.

After a flash, he returned to where he had been, as if he had never moved.

Only the bloody fingertips whispered about the violence just now.

One by one, the exiles fell, their eyes darkening with a little confusion.

The pervasive bloody aura made the mountain demon restless, and at the same time, it smashed like a hammer on the hearts of the Grek Knight team.

"Go, go! Go and inform His Highness that the Valkyrie has returned!! ”
