Hearing Vivien's words, the Broken Sword Knight Kem blinked and stunned for a moment, and then asked with a strange look, "You also want to ......
Heading north?
”It's normal for him to have such a strange look.At this moment, the Dragon's Empire is in a big mess, and the Imperial Legion, the Black Sword Knights, the Broken Sword Knights, and the Northern Legion are attacking each other to bring about a crisis that is far more serious than when this country singled out half the world, in this case, anyone in their right mind will make the decision to stay away from the vortex, let alone a group of Ysu people from the other side of the world who have just been hunted down by the Black Sword Knights?
What will happen north over the black pine forest?
First of all, the hinterland of the Empire, which was under the control of the Black Sword Knights, and then the capital of the Empire - these Isu who had just been hunted by the Black Sword Knights were certainly not heading there, so they could only continue north—regardless of how these men planned to cross the land full of Black Sword Knights, assuming they succeeded—and further north, it would be the army of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
To the west, you can go to Lion Ridge, beyond which is a more stable area, and to the east you can find a flight to Ys - although you may not be able to get on the airship smoothly at this time, at least it is a safe way," Kem looked at Charlemagne and Avena, "and to the north, apart from the Black Sword Knights, there is only the legion of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't think you should be looking for those guys who have just hunted you down, right?"
”Charlemagne groaned for a moment and nodded slightly: "Since we have said this, then there is no need for us to continue to hide it - we are indeed going to find Her Highness Constance, and we know very well what she is doing, and what it means to pass through the blockade of several major armies of the Empire." ”The expression on Kem's face became serious: "Please understand my vigilance, but in such a time, a group of Ysu and four mysterious people from the Hidden Order are going to meet Her Royal Highness, and it needs a reason.I think......
You're not a simple traveler, are you?
”Charlemagne thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth - he hid his identity from Kem when he first woke up before, it was because a knight with a broken sword who died in the black pine forest for some reason was strange everywhere, and he had to be cautious, but now he has confirmed the cause and effect of Kem's coming here, and what the other party said and the information he got a few days ago can corroborate each other, plus he knows that there is a Gorgon demon in the black pine forest, and if you want to continue to move forward, you must cooperate with others, In this case, we have to be honest.But he still remembered who the real leader of this team was, so he asked Hao Ren who was standing next to him with his eyes: Can you trust this knight?
Hao Ren noticed Charlemagne's eyes, so he smiled and replied confused-he couldn't understand what it meant for a handsome guy with a handsome 0.93 Nangong Sanba to flatter himself!
I'm afraid this little brother wants to come up with some bold ideas?
One eye contact of two hundred words can only happen within Hao Ren's team, at least unilaterally on Hao Ren's side.But fortunately, the well-informed Leah guessed what Charlemagne meant, and she waved her hand indifferently: "You can say it if you want, we don't care." ”Charlemagne made up his mind, he knew that this little girl had an incredible say in Hao Ren's team, so he turned to Kem with confidence and spoke: "Please forgive us for not telling the truth completely at first, in fact, my sister and I are ......"
"The secret envoy of the ancient kingdom of Isu?
”After listening to Charlemagne's account, Kem couldn't help frowning, "I can understand your caution at first, but how can I trust you?"
”"We did some cross-dressing, but we had something else to prove our identity."
As he spoke, Charlemagne took out a magic talisman from his body that he had been wearing, activated it and placed it on his forehead, and the next moment, some intricate and mysterious lines that seemed to glow like a tattoo appeared on his arms and cheeks.Avena next to her did the same, and similar magic patterns appeared on her body."
It's the blood coat of arms of the Isu royal family," Kem dispelled his doubts after seeing these marks, and then bent over the two people in front of him and bowed to make a knightly salute, "Sure enough, it's the two highnesses, and there were many rudeness before." ”"Don't worry about that," Charlemagne waved his hand at once, "the important thing is that we must get to Princess Constance as soon as possible, our mission is of great importance, and we must not delay." ”The expression on Kem's face became serious, and he didn't ask what that "mission" was, but said bluntly: "It's okay to go north, but we have to find a way to get around that Gorgon demon."
I'd like to warn you, it's a lord-level fellow, classified as 'Nest Mother', and it will split out a large number of Splits from its body to monitor its territory, so it actually controls a fairly large area, and it will be difficult for us to get around it, and there is a great chance that it will be detected directly.As for the strength of that guy......
A few powerful Knights of the Broken Sword are no match for the lord, and if you only have these men, it will be a joke to go north. ”As he spoke, the knight of the broken sword's gaze swept over the heavily armed guards - of course, he could see that these people were veterans of a hundred battles, and they were by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers, and the best of them was probably not weaker than the knight of the black sword, but to challenge the lord-level Gorgon, this combat power was still a little bit illusory.Of course, the soldiers who are accustomed to charging into battle do not want to be despised, but they can be selected as the escorts of this secret mission, these soldiers are not only by force, but must also be carefully selected in terms of personality, etc., naturally they will not lose their cool in this situation, and they also understand that the other party is not humiliating, but stating the facts, so they can only choose to shut up with unwillingness.But Hao Ren felt that this was not a problem at all: "Ahem, have you forgotten a few of us - if you are worried about combat effectiveness, we have no shortage here." ”"You guys?"
Kem was stunned, looking Hao Ren and his party up and down with some suspicion, he had just classified these four unarmed men as non-combatants."
That's right, we are the main combat power," Hao Ren nodded as a matter of course, and then pointed to himself and his teammates, "A few of us beat the black sword knight as if playing, this long-range second world, this melee is invincible, of course, the most powerful is this, she is the best ...... among us" Leah, who was pointed out, hugged her hands to her chest, revealing a look of a worldly master.Keim: "......"
"It's true," Charlemagne next to him said, "Don't draw conclusions based on appearances, in fact they are all solving crises along the way, and I am ashamed to say that my bodyguards......
Mainly responsible for shouting cheers. ”A group of guards turned their heads to look away.Seeing that Kem still had some hesitation and suspicion on his face, Lily couldn't help but speak: "If you don't believe it, you can practice with me, it's not as reliable as you can personally verify it, right?"
”Although the knight of the broken sword was still a little skeptical, the situation in front of him did not allow him to make many choices, and after being beaten on the ground by Lily, he decided to believe Hao Ren and Charlemagne's claims.After resting in the ruins of the Lost Kingdom, the party returned to the three magic carts, and after navigating the impassable sections of the ruins, the group headed north of the Black Pine Forest.But the comfortable journey did not last long, for after a little further north, the road in the forest was cut off.Although in the bewildering black pine forest, travelers can always follow the forest road to the exit of the forest in any direction, but in this black pine forest that has faded away from the false fog and only the true appearance remains, the road in the forest is not accessible in all directions, especially when Hao Ren and his party plan to choose the shortest route directly through the northern woodland, they have to cut through the dense forest in the second half of the journey.However, this is not a problem for a team with outstanding combat strength, and the weakest member is also a veteran of the Demon Martial Arts Cultivation Hundred Battles, except that it is not as safe as sitting in the car, and walking through the forest will not slow them down too much.In the dull process of hurrying, Hao Ren found Kaim, who had rarely spoken since the beginning of the journey: "I have a question I want to ask you about......"
"Tell me." ”Kem said succinctly."
Did you say that those Black Sword Knights had lost their minds?
What's going on?
”"Literally," after Charlemagne explained his identity and Hao Ren and his party confirmed their purpose of going north to meet Princess Constance, Kem spoke more frankly than before, "Those once glorious warriors have been distorted, and an evil force has twisted their original loyalty and bravery into a more fanatical and dangerous tendency, but this distortion is extremely insidious, because at this stage, few people will realize that their sane part is no longer human. ”"It's true - we've dealt with the Black Sword Knights up close, but they've behaved like normal people.Oh, except for their faces. ”"You've seen the Black Sword Knight after being eroded?"
Kem was slightly surprised, and then relieved, "That's right, with your strength, even if you are chased and killed by the Black Sword Knight, it is not difficult to kill a few of them."
Indeed, as you said, the madness of the Black Sword Knights is still hidden, and they will disguise themselves with seemingly normal words and actions on the surface, but they have actually fallen into chaos on the inside, as evidenced by that polluted appearance. ”"Listen to what you mean......
It won't be long before the problems of those black sword knights will be exposed to ordinary people, right?
”Hao Ren frowned, "At that time, I'm afraid that most of the people in the empire will stand on the side of the princess, right?"
”"Until then, the corrupted Black Sword Knight will be enough to drag this world to ruin," Kem said in a heavy tone, "and we......
It was in order to avert this catastrophe before that day came. ”"Ah, it seems that this is indeed a fairly righteous reason," Hao Ren nodded, "but I don't understand one thing very well......
What caused the corruption of those Black Sword Knights?
Don't......
It's really your ...... with a dragon soul" "The only one who can influence the Black Sword Knights is His Majesty Berendine. ”Kem affirmed Hao Ren's statement from the side.And at this moment, a burnt smell that filled the air suddenly wafted into Hao Ren's nostrils.Kem raised his hand: "Be careful, everyone, we are already close to the territory of that Gorgon demon." ”
