Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Knights of Layton
A hairy bear is enjoying a rabbit's bandaging service.
It seems that because of his previous behavior of taking the initiative to give up the right to distribute the death of the team leader, the rabbit has a good impression of him, and the bandages have tied out cute bows, which makes Chen Mowei, who saw this scene, speechless.
The woolly bear didn't care.
This guy stands next to the rabbit and has a feeling of iron man tenderness.
"What is it called the Misty World, just call it the Poison World, the damage of these guys is not as good as the poison on the weapon."
Just now, the team leader's whirlwind slash skill cut a lot of wounds on the hairy bear's body, and the huge amount of toxins that followed were superimposed on each other, which seemed to have some defense-breaking reactions, and the defensive immunity of the body cells did not have time to completely clean up for a while, resulting in the appearance of -5, -6, and -7 damage data, and at this time the battle was over, and I couldn't help but complain.
After the wound was bandaged, the rabbit performed a recovery operation on the woolly bear.
The amount of treatment for rabbits naturally means that there is no need to worry about the injury of the woolly bear.
"It seems that the old men here are completely unvigilant and are about to forget the cruelty of war."
Nightingale and Cat's Eye waited for a while in the wheat field, and were disappointed that they did not see the castle's supporters to gather the information they needed.
But looking at the overall task, this is undoubtedly a good sign.
"Humph! This rotten family probably hasn't experienced war for too long. ”
Yu Li sneered, as if he saw a piece of tender fat, and greed and desire continued to stimulate his ambition to swell.
After observing for a while, Maoyan gestured: "In that case, there is also a guard team over there, about a kilometer or so, that is walking towards us, and we will solve it together?" ”
The crowd agreed.
……
Maika used to be an adventurer in Glory City.
Although adventurers say that the four seas are their home, and there is no fixed place to live, and there is an essential difference between them and farmers, Maika, who was born in Glory City, always believes that Glory City is his home.
It wasn't until he was twenty years old that he came to Howell Castle and met his current wife.
Even now, he remembers that evening.
Follow the team through the fog for five days to the market to sell some of the harvest in exchange for supplies such as sulfur, dry food, and medicine, before moving on to the next leg of the journey.
However.
The first time he saw his wife, he felt that his heart was about to melt by this beautiful woman, and the dream of becoming a high-level adventurer was also vanished in this instant.
This is a woman who deserves to be guarded for the rest of her life!
Ten years have passed.
Today, he is a member of the Howell family guard and has a child with his wife.
With the continuous improvement of his strength and the trust of the Howell family, he was promoted to squad leader, and his daily task was to drive away poisons and strange beasts in the wheat field, patrol the streets and manage law and order, and was relaxed and comfortable.
If I have to say that there is any dissatisfaction, there is only one thing.
That is how Young Master Elon once coveted his wife, and when that incident happened, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only bury it in his heart.
There was a hint of hatred and helplessness in his eyes.
The Howell family, once a famous family in the Glory Mountains, once gave birth to a second-level poisoner and accumulated a lot of wealth and honor.
But with the death of this powerful poison master who led the family to glory, the Howell family, like most of the Glory Mountain families, gradually declined, and now it can only be said that they can barely maintain their territorial independence, not affected by the forces of other families.
The current lord of the Howell family, named Albert Howell, is known as the Whisperers.
Albert had two sons.
The eldest son's name is Elon Howell, when Albert was young, he devoted himself to the development of the government affairs of the family domain, and rarely disciplined this son, resulting in him gradually becoming a degenerate playboy, not only frequently attacking the female relatives in the family territory, but also sometimes getting involved with the female relatives of other families, he really did not waste that good skin, and completely became a scum, and he could not bear the responsibility of reviving the family at all.
Albert, who was disappointed in Elon Howell, gradually focused his energy on his second son, Wallelle Howell.
This second son really lives up to expectations!
Not only was he young, he showed extremely high talent on the path of poison cultivation, and he was also loved by the people of the territory, and Maika also had great admiration for this young master Hua Lai.
If he inherits the lordship of the Howell family, he may lead the family to prosperity in the future.
"Stop!"
Maika, who led nine guards to inspect the farmland, seemed to be absent-minded along the way, but he seemed to suddenly notice something and motioned for everyone to stop.
The former adventurer career has imprinted some lingering instincts in his soul, including a sensitivity to the smell of blood.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
The relationship between his guards and him is very harmonious, and they usually eat and drink together, and they are all trustworthy brothers.
"It smells of blood!"
Maika's answer made everyone look at each other.
However, Maika didn't think too much about it, he said with a solemn face: "It is likely that there is a hidden demonic beast here, everyone be careful, if you can't beat it, ask the castle for help in time." ”
"Got it."
The guards had solemn faces, and they trusted the squad leader very much.
"What people!"
One of the guards noticed the anomaly and shouted, and the other guards looked over.
Seeing that this team of guards was completely different from the previous team of guards, they actually made a defensive posture, and Chen Mo and the others were not hiding, and Maoyan shot directly, announcing a frontal decisive battle.
"Enemy attack!!"
Maika, who reacted, quickly stopped, looked at the menacing enemy, and immediately gave the order: "Retreat!" Back to the castle! ”
Hearing this, the guards did not hesitate to follow Maika in the direction of the castle, sounding the alarm horn as they ran.
Maika could sense that the enemy was in full pursuit.
But he didn't dare to stop.
Although he didn't know where these enemies came from, one thing was certain, they were all strong, far stronger than himself, and his wife and children were still waiting for him in the castle, and he must not fall here!
"Reinforcements from the castle have arrived."
The voice of a woman among the attackers made Maika breathe a sigh of relief.
Nightingale said helplessly: "It seems that this should be the knights in the intelligence, and it can't go any deeper, withdraw!" ”
The six victims hurriedly retreated in the direction of the fog.
A detachment of cavalry, rushing out of the castle at a rapid pace, galloped past Maika's side, and he could finally stop and take a big breather.
Of the nine subordinates, only five of them escaped with him.
Although he was inevitably punished when he returned, he was fortunate to have a life and could see his wife and children again.
After a while.
The dozen or so cavalrymen did not choose to rush in after seeing the Scourge enter the fog, and after lingering in front of the fog for a while, they came to Maika's side.
Brown and black war horses, one horse in the lead.
The leader is one of the small leaders of the Howell family, Layton the Beheader.
Wearing a cold metal helmet, he looked down on Maika condescendingly, as if he was about to cut off his head at any moment, and his face was horribly gloomy.
"Why don't you try to hold them back?"
"I'm sorry, they're too strong."
Maika snapped into her wits and gritted her teeth in response, "Their strength is far superior to mine, and they have very strange weapons, I suspect that they are natural disasters, and I don't want to die at their hands." ”
Hearing the word Scourge, the knights were confused.
Legend has it that almost all the major families have an ancient magic, which is to summon scourge from hell, which is extremely strange, cruel, and powerful.
But summoning them also comes at a great cost.
Therefore, unless there is a deep hatred, or a desire to replace them, under normal circumstances, no one will easily summon these natural disasters to come.
Hearing this, the decapitator Layton looked at Maika with his eyes under the metal mask.
"Come with me to the castle and report the information of the invaders to the lord, who will personally condemn you for your actions, and you will be judged fairly."
"Yes."
Maika was not afraid of Leighton the Decapitator, and although he was a ruthless and powerful leader, he was also very just, had a compassionate heart, and was loved by many guards in the castle, and had a high prestige.
Maika faintly felt that the Howell family was being shrouded in a shadow, and the wind and rain were shaking.
It may not be a bad thing to be punished yourself at this time.
……
The six people who entered the misty forest couldn't help but sigh after confirming that the knights of the Howell family had not ventured.
"It is worthy of being the core deterrent force of the Howell family."
It's a hairy bear, and it can't help but show solemnity.
Maoyan was stunned: "These knights are not ordinary people, and it is probably more difficult to deal with so many knights than ordinary big bosses." ”
The nightingale was thoughtful.
"This is the famous Knights of the Howell family, each member has the strength close to the elite guard, the decapitator Layton Leader should have reached the level of a mutant small leader, with our strength, unless we lead them into the fog, I am afraid we will have to pay a great price."
After hearing the nightingale's analysis, everyone agreed.
Even You Li, who had been ambitious before, couldn't help but show a cautious look at the moment, although he was greedy, he was even more afraid of danger.
According to intelligence.
In the Glory Mountain Range, the strength of each family's castle is generally divided into three arms.
First of all, it is a common ordinary guard, whose strength is comparable to that of the black-clothed minions of the Hive World, except for the elite-level squad leader, the ordinary guards are no longer much of a threat to the senior natural disasters.
The second is the heavy armor guards guarding the city, which belongs to the intermediate class, responsible for garrisoning the core area of the city wall and the castle, the number is relatively rare, and the strength has also been improved by a level compared to ordinary guards.
Finally, there's the Knights.
Many families in the Glory Mountains have even been denounced as third-rate families because it is difficult to put together a decent knight order, so to speak, the knights are the face of the castle of the Glory Mountain family family, and if conditions permit, they will do everything they can to maintain a decent knight order.
"That's it for today."
Nightingale comforted: "Our mission this time is to collect basic information here, and then look at the reward level of Young Master Laqi's side, there is a full month of mission time, there is no need to rush for a while, as for the closed door for a month, it is even more impossible, we can't let the farmland be abandoned and wait to starve to death, right?" ”
Just a moment later.
Noticing that the Knights had returned to the castle, the six of them went to the farmland in the other direction, and after confirming that it was safe, they took turns to be on duty and rested comfortably in the sun.
