The goddess said, "There is a god who can offer sacrifices to me." ”

"I see what you mean." When Herman heard this, he immediately knew what the goddess had in mind, and persuaded, "But Alice's side is not something that can be solved with one or two thousand energy stones, and in the long run, it will definitely attract the investigation of the knights, and the accommodation method I cultivate is only at the visceral level, not the cell level, and I can only consume 750 C-grade energy stones a month, even if I want to cultivate fighting skills, one thousand is already the limit." If you invite a wizard to investigate, you don't want to be noticed, do you? ”

The goddess said no more about it, and she never wanted to be exposed in this world until she regained her strength.

Things in the Forsaken Lands had to go their course.

Sixty miles east of the Fallen Leaf Castle, in a valley, nineteen knights were scattered around, accompanied by a large green lizard half a meter high and two meters long, or a red fire cat, or a blue wind fox.

These clothes are dirty, their faces are dusty and they haven't been washed for a long time, and they all have a faint smell of sulfur. But despite their disheveled clothes, the swords at their waists, and the ferocity in their eyes, they all testified to their danger.

Obviously, they were Vault Dwellers from the underworld, and none of them exuded a breath weaker than the one killed by Herman.

And among them, only one person stands out from the crowd. Not only is he glamorous, he wears light chain mail, carries a sword, and wears a red blood-colored gemstone ring on his hand, just like a noble knight, but even the moss-stepping lizard and the wind fox around him are stronger than the others. And all the people faintly looked at him as the head.

These men were gathered in the valley, but none of them spoke to each other, and looked at their companions with a look of wariness rather than intimacy.

As it grew dark, and even the big lizards began to get agitated, the Vault Dweller, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

A stout man with a burdy and short beard on his face shouted, "Enoch, how long are we going to wait?" Hurry up and finish the task and disperse, my partner is impatient. As he spoke, he pulled a handful of grass to soothe the moss-stepping lizards beside him.

"The dwarf is right, we really shouldn't wait for him alone. The man didn't come now, presumably by someone from the Tempest Knights. "The woman who spoke had a pretty face and a proud figure, but her whole body, except for her hair and eyes, was black, unlike the Drow who believed in the legendary spider mother Rose.

Although the others did not speak again, their eyes were already impatient. If Enor hadn't been a member of the Abyss Hermitage, the most powerful force in Castlevania, they wouldn't have been so obedient and honestly stayed here for an afternoon.

Enoch looked young, but as a teenager who was able to stand out and join the hermit in a big city like Castlevania, he was smarter than most people, and Enoch also knew that what Drow said was likely to be the truth, so he didn't wait any longer and said, "I'm just here to better complete the mission issued by the city lord, don't be surprised." ”

"Don't talk too much about the hypocritical nonsense of the surface world, let's get straight to the point, what is our mission this time?" Black Beauty dissatisfied.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Enoch's eyes, and then he said casually: "To get back to the point, this time we broke into pieces and bypassed the defense line of the Human Knights, in order to destroy their castle, rob the supply team of the Knights, and completely cut off the supply line of the Tempest Knights. Before the summer, we want to inflict maximum damage on them. ”

After the snow melts completely in the summer, the advantage of stepping on the moss lizard will not be as great as it is now, once the opponent sends out a cavalry team to surround and intercept them, it will be difficult for them to make any achievements, and they can only return at that time. Therefore, the duration of this task is only three months in the spring.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Cutting off people's food and grass is really a vicious idea. Hadrow sneered.

Enoch was unmoved, and said lightly: "War only looks at the result, not the process. Will the Drow also be 'soft-hearted'? ”

In the face of the riposte, Hei Zhuoer smiled gently, and Chu Chu said pitifully: "Of course, Na'er is a very kind person!" ”

But this trick didn't work, just listen to him sneer, get up and look around, everywhere he looked, no one dared to look at him, and all the people who met his gaze would involuntarily look away for no more than a second, as if they were under some kind of oppression.

I only heard him say: "This war is not only an opportunity for those adults in Castlevania, but also an opportunity for you and me. When I took on the mission, I was promised that for every castle we captured, a supply team, or a knight squad, we would get 10,000 C-level power stones, a C-level fighting skill, and an enchantment-level weapon for every one of the three. And as a leader, he gets even more benefits, which is why Enoch, who has a strong background, is willing to go behind enemy lines.

"Enchanted weapons? Does Castlevania really give bounty to enchantment-level weapons? ”

Sure enough, the breathing in the valley suddenly became heavy, and the Vault Dweller asked, their eyes full of greed and longing.

It was an enchanted-level weapon, which not only possessed the sharpness and hardness far beyond ordinary iron, but also contained Dou Qi, increasing the power of the Fighting Skill by two to three times, whether it was underground or on the ground, it was a rare and priceless treasure.

Enoch wanted this effect, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, this is not a promise from Castlevania City, and at the same time, Flame Mountain City and Night City have made promises, and Castlevania has not broken its promise since the war with the Wizard Society for so long. Besides, if you don't believe in Castlevania, why would you risk your life and death to sneak into the back of the Wizards' Guild? ”

No one spoke anymore, because they all knew that Enoch was telling the truth. In order to have a place on the surface, the three major cities have long put forward a set of costs at all costs.

"It's okay to rob and kill the supply team and destroy the grain and grass, but if you attack the city, it's too self-sufficient. You know better than we know how hard those forts are on the front line! Hazor said.

Enoch smiled undiminishedly and said confidently: "The castle here can't be compared to those magic fortresses on the front line, here, we can even divide our troops." ”

"Will it be that easy? Don't be too underestimated. Na'er frowned.

Enoch laughed, "You'll know when you see those castles - by the way, the people from Flame Mountain City and Night City arrived a few days earlier than us, if they do, don't have a conflict." Even if there is any grudge, wait until you go back to settle it. He smiled, "I said ugly things in the front, this time everyone is here to make a fortune, if anyone dares to do bad things, it will be impossible to get along with all of us......"

The faces of the crowd darkened, but they didn't say much.

When Herman and Claire returned to the castle, they saw Moore and the others around the vestibule circling the treadmill, and when they saw the two of them returning, Moore said with admiration: "The captain and Master Holt can actually kill a Vault Dweller and capture a treadmill alive, which is really amazing." ”

Barron and Grace had already returned, Grace found nothing, but Barron had met a Vault Dweller on the way, and the two had fought for a few rounds, and as soon as the warriors had approached, the Vault Dweller rode away on a lizard. When the two of them came back and saw Herman's booty, they were shocked, but after seeing Holt, they were not so shocked. After all, who doesn't know that a knight with wizard assistance can at least double his strength?

Herman didn't take credit for it, and smiled faintly: "It's all up to Lord Holt's magic, otherwise no one will be able to catch this beast at its speed." ”

"A wizard is worthy of being a wizard, and the eighth squad will depend on you and the captain in the future." Moore complimented.

Claire laughed, "The Vault Dweller's death has nothing to do with me as a penny, and by the time I finish my magic, Herman will have killed him long ago, and even the samurai will be on the battlefield." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Herman, but when they saw him, they smiled: "It's not as exaggerated as Lord Holt said, if it weren't for the poison thrown by the other party that I caught and hit him, I wouldn't have been able to stop the Vault Dweller from running away." I can kill people, or that bottle of poison is too powerful, you can also see the corpse, if I get hit, I will be the one who will be carried back. ”

When Barron and Grace heard this, their hearts suddenly felt better.

Just as Herman was about to ask what the two of them had seen when they went out, an armored warrior on duty at the head of the city suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Everyone's faces immediately changed, Claire closed her eyes, and everyone felt a mysterious wave spread from her body, quickly spreading into the distance. Soon, I heard her say: "There is a knight being hunted down, and the enemy is currently unknown!" ”

"Unidentified?" Herman frowned, and then asked, "How many people are on the other side?" ”

Claire replied, "There are two of us and five of them. ”

"Damn, dare to hunt down our brothers in our territory and kill them!" Barron said immediately.

Moore looked at Herman and frowned: "Deciduous Castle is not the front line, why did so many extraordinary knights suddenly appear, could it be that they are Vault Dwellers?" "If so, plus Herman just killed, there are already six Vault Dwellers in this place, and he smells of conspiracy.

Herman also knew that this was unusual, but he did not have time to think about it for the long term, and said to the people: "Moore, you look for an opportunity on the city wall, Lippi and Wood will stay, and the rest will go out of the city with me to save people." ”

"Yes." Moore replied.

Barron and the others looked excited, and rushed to the stable.

"What about me?" Claire was also eager to give it a try.

But Herman did not hesitate to say, "Stay here." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry, leaving only Claire Holt with an unhappy face.

The seven knights rode out of the city, and at a mile from the city gate, they saw two knights in the armor of the knights galloping on horseback, each with extremely serious wounds on their bodies, which could not heal even with the strong physical fitness of the knights for a while.

And the enemies who are chasing them are not the Vault Dwellers who ride on monsters and moss.
