Like the night sky, the stars are hidden, the thick clouds cover the last trace of light in the night, and under the darkness, a long line moves forward closely.

The team of hundreds of people, with a steady pace and the sound of armor rubbing, broke through the darkness and firmly marched towards the goal.

The mechanically neat movements, the eyes that do not squint, are like pasting and copying, and only one footstep can be heard at first.

The Silver Frost Knight, who was at the lead, was fifty meters away from the team, slightly ahead, and the armor was as bright as usual in the dark night, becoming a guidepost for the entire team.

The Frost Knight raised his right hand into a fist, and the team behind him came to a halt, the Frost Knight's sharp eyes pierced the darkness, sensing that the road ahead had been hollowed out, and the land had disappeared, becoming a bottomless ravine, leaving only a path that seemed to have been deliberately set aside, winding from the right side into the jungle, all the way pointing to the great shadow that towered in the distance.

"A warm invitation should be given back respect. ”

The Silver Frost Knight muttered to himself.

Then take the lead in changing directions and walk along the trail into the jungle.

There was not the slightest doubt in the team behind them, even if the route was not the same.

Turn around, move forward, follow.

The silent mechanical team slowly moved towards the deeper darkness.

......

...

Nature is capable of carving out a lot of beauty you can't imagine, as well as dangers you can't reach.

Like a crab's pincers erected, a dangerous peak is like a giant sword falling from the sky, and the whole mountain has no vegetation, only the boulders that seem to be ready to roll down at any moment, and the splinters of rubble that often pours down like a waterfall.

Climbing such a mountain will only make you welcome the baptism of the rockslide as soon as you take the first step, as evidenced by the rocks and bones buried at the foot of the mountain.

In the midst of such a dangerous mountain, two people were silently waiting for something.

"Boss, are they really going to be rerouted here?"

"If it were any of the other of the seven, it would probably ignore our obstruction, but if it was Raymond, he would definitely come, he was the most knight-like man of the seven, and the most proud one, and he would not refuse the challenger's invitation. ”

As soon as the words fell, in the darkness, the two of them could clearly hear a team walking into the valley, slowly approaching.

"Sam, get ready, remember that what we have to do is not to defeat the other party, but to stall for time, so that our companions lying in ambush on both sides have enough time to snatch the holy relics, understand?"

"I know, boss, don't worry, I'm notoriously difficult. ”

It was Sam in the forest camp and the middle-aged man he called the boss who were waiting here.

The sound of the march became clearer, and then at the distance of the approach, the group stopped, and listened carefully, and one of them dismounted from his horse and approached alone.

The sound of footsteps is steady and powerful, revealing strong self-confidence.

Sam's palms were sweating, although he had been prepared, he was still extremely nervous when he really had to face it, and the person they had to face next was by no means idle, and he was known as one of the seven people who were the most powerful in the Holy See.

Seven Paladins - Raymond of the Dawn.

There was no accident, a knight in silver frost armor appeared in front of the two of them, with the eyes unique to the strong, condescending, overlooking all beings.

Raymond: "It's not a rational choice. ”

Middle-aged man: "But it's the way it should be." ”

Raymond agreed: "The spirit of fearless sacrifice is worthy of my invitation." ”

Sam felt himself tremble, he had thought about what to say to show himself when he faced the Seven Paladins, but now the words that had been in his mind for a long time only converged into a tremor all over his body.

Only the boss can talk to each other normally.

Raymond suddenly looked at Sam, glanced up and down, and said, "This is a new face." ”

Sam froze, and the next moment, the Silver Frost Knight, who was still ten paces away, suddenly came to him and looked down.

"Well, it's a bit of a pity. ”

The heart seemed to stop beating, the blood stagnated, and even the air around him froze, and Sam stared at the tall knight in front of him in amazement.

It turns out that death can be so close to oneself.

But Raymond calmly turned around, calmly walked away, calmly exposed his back to the enemy, he returned to his original position, and said indifferently: "Begin?"

The middle-aged man glanced back at Sam, his heavy eyes made Sam's heart tremble, he took a deep breath, and began to try to calm himself down, but even though he knew in his heart that he had to be strong, the most primitive instincts from the depths of his body were constantly exuding fear.

The middle-aged man knew that he had to buy a little time for his subordinates, most likely for his subordinates, and the others who were ambushed in the dark would probably be overwhelmed by Raymond's momentum.

He looked directly at the other party and said, "You are still the same as before, even if you have a mission, even if you face the enemy, you are still so upright. ”

Raymond: "It's the spirit of a knight. ”

Middle-aged man: "The same foolishness." ”

Raymond shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it seems that the people who have sworn allegiance are different, which caused you to have such thoughts." ”

Middle-aged man: "Raymond, have you ever questioned your majesty?"

Raymond's voice was sonorous: "Questioning is the greatest disrespect to Your Majesty, and the heaviest insult to a knight, Justin, I appreciate you, but it doesn't mean that you can speak recklessly." ”

The middle-aged man named Justin stared at the other party for a long time before he slowed down: "A fake is a fake after all. ”

"Enough!"

Raymond shouted, and the force of his toes shook the mountain, and the peaks seemed to shake.

Sam stepped forward to get in front of Justin, and in a short period of time, he managed to use the time that the boss had bought him to shake off the fear of facing the Seven Paladins for the first time.

The picture shuddered, and the two people, who seemed to Raymond to be close at hand, regained distance, and he looked around and found that it was not the other party who had distanced themselves, but returned to their original position.

The same night, the same valley, the same enemy, but I couldn't feel the hundreds of escorts behind me.

Raymond: "You can't trap me with the Space Stone." ”

Justin: "I know, so I need insurance." ”

The body glowed, and the spells crawled out from the sleeves of his clothes, falling to the ground and spreading around Justin, and the spells climbed up the mountain rocks, enveloping the space around the three of them.

Without words, the spell cage formed a moment, and Sam immediately struck.

With a clapping of both hands, the ground pulled, and the two giant rock hands opened their five fingers to hug Raymond, snapping their fingers, the fire inside the rock jumped, and a rock hand stove spewed out blazing flames.

But soon, in the beating flames, an unscathed hand stretched out, it broke the boulder without hurry, and wearing the silver frost armor as bright as new, Raymond slowly walked out.

He said lightly: "This trick is useless, change it." ”

There was no need to be reminded that Sam had already prepared for the next move, and the first move was nothing more than a smoke attack.

In the rocky ground, plump buds emerge and bloom gracefully, with purple flowers with an eerie sheen. The hard stone under Raymond's feet suddenly softened, and the weight of his armor caused his feet to sink slowly into the cake-like earth.

A circle of purple flowers bloomed around the Frost Knight, and unlike the petite flowers, the underground rhizomes stretched thick and stretched, and the swirls formed by the twisted rhizomes rose from the ground, enveloping the Frost Knight once more.

Raymond frowned, a little disappointed by the different moves and the same attack.

There was a shock, and several transparent blades appeared in the air, cutting off all the rhizomes.

The thick rhizome contained a large amount of sap, splashing on the Silver Frost Armor, and it was consciously spreading.

The purple flowers around suddenly squirmed, as if they were sucking nutrients, and the strange luster became more and more terrifying.

Raymond's body flickered, he felt that his strength was flowing rapidly, it should be said that he was pulling away from his body, and when he looked down, the juice on the armor was bubbling up one by one, and inconspicuous buds were growing.

Click

The tiny buds took only a moment to take root, and an inconspicuous crack appeared in the Silver Frost Armor.

Raymond's eyes sank, and his face turned cold.

Sam, who was still snickering at the last moment, exploded with cold hairs all over his body at this time, and he felt a majestic aura explode in front of him.

Raymond flipped his right hand, and the whole night was lit up, as bright as day, with no sun, no blue sky, no white clouds, only a white expanse of endless light.

Sam's magical attacks evaporate like water vapor and turn into smoke and dust.

The Silver Frost Knight had holy light in his eyes, and he held a black iron sword in his hand, and for a moment, his body seemed to be as tall as a thousand feet.

Raymond: "You may have thought about how you will be attacked against this team, but you have thought about it, whether it is the knights, the magicians, or the infantry, they are good at only one thing, and that is protection and defensive magic, and in this team, there is only one sword to attack, and that is me." ”

The space was turbulent, and Justin was already sweating profusely just to support the stability of the space stone and the magic cage, and the man in front of him was like a god descending.

Seven Paladins.

Seven monsters.

Sam was stunned, as if the whole sky was pressing against him, so that he couldn't move, so that he couldn't breathe, so that he couldn't even blink.

The disparity in strength is so great.

The light in the sky shattered into pieces and fell into the mortal world, the black iron sword in Raymond's hand sucked the light in, and the dots gathered, and in the aurora, the black iron sword was awakened, and the clear and radiant lines showed the invincible momentum of the world with light.

Sam looked at the man with thousands of stars in his hand and his back to the sunset, and he slowly straightened up, ready for his own death.

Justin was tied to the space, and the remaining magic wasn't enough to help him do anything else. The initial plan was to delay time with the sacrifice of the two, he was responsible for trapping Raymond and Sam was responsible for attacking and entanglement, but the reality was too skinny, and their already unfulfilled ideals became a ridiculous fantasy.

Justin smiled miserably.

It's really a suicide with no room for reversal.

Raymond raised his hand, and the holy sword slowly fell.

When the sword light was about to drown the two of them, two magic arrays appeared behind Justin and Sam, and a pair of old arms stretched out to grab the two, cutting off the connection between Justin and the magic space at once, and quietly taking the two away.

The night sky was split in two by the sword light, and a brilliant galaxy was torn apart in the darkness, the clouds were scattered, and the stars all over the sky emitted their brightest brilliance as if they were called.

The starlight fell, and Raymond stood in place, the holy sword that radiated its brilliance turned back into black iron, flipped its wrist, and quietly disappeared.

The surroundings are empty.

The land is flat, and there are no dangerous peaks.

The Silver Frost Knight turned back into the ranks, and no less than twenty mutilated corpses were scattered around the unchanged hundred-man ranks.

Justin, it looks like your men are going to let you down, they can't even deal with the team that is good at defense.

The Silver Frost Knight turned over and got on his horse, without the mountain peaks in the way, with a wide field of vision, and lightly clamped the horse's belly, and Raymond led the team forward again.
