"go ahead!"
"keep going!"
In front of the Knights of the Holy Iron Rope, a thin old man with a slightly stooped figure was riding on the back of a plow horse used for plowing. At this time, he was wearing a pair of old armor that he didn't know where he came from. He was so funny that he led the group of knights into the depths of the forest, pretending to be very majestic, as if he was the leader of the group of knights.
"It's not far ahead!"
"Hurry up!"
"look!"
"It's starting to fog up here. The place we want to go is right ahead!"
Then, while walking, he saw that the people behind him were following a little slowly, so he came to his senses on horseback and urged them.
That's right!
He is the guide that the old priest Hopps found in the village. He volunteered because his family had been persecuted by the elves of Foggy Bottom. He is not afraid of death and is willing to guide this group of knights of the Holy Iron Cable who are also not afraid of death. The bad old man brought to 'Foggy Bottom'.
"..."
Yasang, the vice-captain of the Knights, a strong man with a sinewy face and a fierce appearance, did not respond to the old man's call. Instead, he looked around first, then looked at the faint mist that filled the surrounding dense forest and frowned.
"Serpico..."
"Be careful!"
"There seems to be something wrong around here..."
"I smell something ominous!"
"Look at the fog..."
The shrubs and big trees outside were very dense, but when they came here, they were gradually withering, and the shape of the trees was not right. It was already afternoon, but there was still mist all around, which made Yasang feel sad. I always feel a little uneasy and uneasy.
"Ominous aura?"
"Stop it!"
"That's just some ordinary fog. Maybe it's because this is a valley?"
Serpico, the young knight and secretary of the knight order, seemed a little indifferent to Yasan's concerns.
"Hello!"
"Uncle, the road here is not suitable for horses. Would you rather go slower?"
"Be careful not to fall!"
Then, after casually refuting his companion, Serpico kindly reminded the old man who was shouting excitedly in front.
Otherwise!
"!!"
"Ouch!!"
It was a good thing he didn't remind him. As he said that, as expected, not long after he had gone far, his horse finally stumbled and fell to the ground together with the pony and let out a miserable howl.
"Hahaha!"
"look!"
"Let me just say, this kind of terrain is very unfavorable to the cavalry, and he can run so fast!"
Seeing this, Serpico, who was worried about the other party just now, burst into laughter without any sense of loyalty, with a look of gloating on his face.
"Hey! Hey!"
"Uncle Sebek, are you okay?"
"Didn't you fall?"
Fortunately, the strong man on the other side, Vice Captain Yasang, who had a sinister face and a fierce appearance, was kind-hearted. After seeing the guide's horse stumble, he was the first to get off the horse and stepped forward to help him and express his condolences. .
"ah!"
"it's okay no problem!"
"rest assured!"
"I will definitely take all the knights to their destination!"
"The foggy valley is not far ahead!"
After being helped up, the old farmer Sebek was a little flattered. He hurriedly waved his hands as if he didn't care, and then planned to continue to mount his horse and lead the way.
"alright."
"Let's stop here!"
"Everyone has it!"
"dismount!!"
However, before the old man could continue to mount his horse, Farnese, the female leader of the knights, looked directly at her horse, which was wearing an exquisite vest and a one-horned mask. It looked like a unicorn god from mythology. The colt-like white war horse easily turned over and jumped off, shouting loudly at the team behind it.
"Send the order!"
"All the attendants and horses stay where they are and stand by!"
"The knights enter Foggy Bottom on foot!"
"implement!!"
In this rugged and foggy dense forest, the speed of riding a horse is probably far slower than walking. Moreover, this kind of terrain can easily hurt the horse and is seriously disadvantageous for combat. If you continue to ride, it will definitely be more than the gain. Therefore, the female leader simply gave the order to abandon the horse and walk.
"yes!"
"As you command!"
"quick!"
"dismount!"
"Let the attendants find an open place to settle the horses!"
"Make a mark!"
"Attention alert!!"
Soon, as the order was issued, the elite knights of the Holy Iron Cable Order dismounted one after another and quickly prepared and got busy, preparing to bring only their own weapons and a small amount of water and food in order to minimize their load.
From this, it can be seen that they are indeed the elites belonging to the King's Hall. Their uniform, methodical actions and efficient execution efficiency are much better than the ordinary lazy lord armies.
'! ! '
'Wow! ! ! '
Suddenly, just as the female leader Farnese was preparing to form the team and continue to set off, unexpectedly, a shrill scream sounded not far away.
"Regiment, leader!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Immediately afterwards, she saw a knight from the knights who seemed to want to go to the water, holding up his trousers and staggering towards where the leaders were, and said At the same time, he reached out and gestured with something, but he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
"!!"
"Walk!"
"Go over and have a look!"
Seeing this, Farnese frowned slightly. Although she was a little unhappy, she still did not criticize her more. She just waved her hand coldly, and then led a few followers and knights around her towards the same person not far away. He trotted past the foggy place.
"!!"
"This is?!"
Then, not long after, when they arrived at the place where the knight had released the water, she and the following knights took a breath of cold air and subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
Because they all saw that in front of this mist-filled and twisted dense forest, in a valley, there were densely packed layers of broken corpses lying strewn about?
They were very fresh and seemed to have not been dead for a long time, but almost none of them were complete, as if they had been bombarded and shattered by the kind of siege shells!
Looking around, on the hundreds of square meters of ground, all kinds of severed limbs, intestines, and body fragments were scattered and hanging everywhere!
The blood had solidified into a thick layer on the ground, forming a pool of blood.
The shocking and shocking sight, just looking at it can make people feel the creeping trembling and fear.
even……
Even the hundreds of battle elites of the Holy Iron Rope Knights who gathered around are no exception!
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this scene, Farnese and other senior members of the Knights were naturally unable to say a word for a long time.
After all, the current situation is completely different from the battlefield where they go into battle to kill the enemy and where corpses litter the field!
"!!"
"This, this is..."
At this time, the guide Sebek, who was curious and ran over, the skinny and short old man saw this scene, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and his face instantly turned pale.
"hateful!"
"Another pile of corpses..."
"It's like being torn apart and smashed directly like a cannonball bombardment, and it's just dead, so it's definitely true. I guess it must be the black swordsman who did it!"
"If according to what the old Priest Hopps said, there is only one black swordsman..."
"It's unimaginable, how did he do all this?"
Looking at the Hell Shura Field in front of him, the broad and fat Yasang, the vice-captain of the Knights, pondered for a long time before analyzing in amazement.
"Looking at the torn wound, it does look like it was made by one person. It should be the sword that the villagers mentioned is taller than the opponent's height?"
"It's just that I can't figure it out, what kind of weapon is that?"
"besides!"
"Look at those torn and twisted corpses, if they can cause the results in front of you, the sword must be very big and heavy!"
"Is that really something a human can wield? And, can it kill so many people in a row?"
"There are at least three to four hundred people here, right?"
The Serpico on the side also nodded in agreement with Yasang's guess and continued to analyze. Finally, he asked the deputy captain Yasang with some fear and fear:
"Vice Captain Yasang..."
"Can you wield that weapon of yours and kill hundreds of them in a short time?"
Speaking of which, Yasang of their knighthood was almost the strongest he had ever seen, but now, the black swordsman who caused all this had somewhat subverted his understanding, leaving him at a loss for a while. There was a faint trace of fear that shouldn't exist in the bottom of my heart.
"Hundreds more?"
"Hey……"
"Even if you don't resist, even if there are only a hundred of them, they can tire me to death!"
Shaking his head, Yasang said that fighting hundreds of people and fighting in a short period of time, he had to chop them all to death, and he had to chop them into such horrible things that they were either decapitated, cut in half, missing arms or legs, or torn apart. state, it would really be a bit difficult for him.
"look!"
"Their corpses have become like that. Every blow was almost done with all your strength, right?"
"Of course I don't have the ability to chop like that!"
Then, he spoke out his opinions without hesitation, and once again overestimated the strength of the black swordsman they were chasing.
"..."
At this time, the female leader Farnese did not speak in a hurry. She first took a deep breath and barely adapted to the scene in front of her, then slowly put down her hands, frowned and opened her red lips lightly and said:
"Whether it was done by the black swordsman or not, I'm just a little weird..."
"look!"
"Why are these corpses..."
"All without clothes?!"
Yes!
From Farnese's perspective, although the scene in front of him was bloody, it was also very strange!
Because, those hundreds of dismembered corpses were all naked, with no clothes, no armor, and no tools or weapons, not even the broken remnants!
And in this situation, even if the most excessive and greedy mercenary group goes to clean up the battlefield, I'm afraid it won't reach this level!
Therefore, she was very puzzled, how did the black swordsman do it?
or……
What made this group of naked and unarmed guys attack the black swordsmen brazenly and not stop until everyone fell under the opponent's giant sword?
"ah!"
"this……"
Hearing their captain's doubts, Vice Captain Yasang and Serpico looked at each other in shock.
"Well……"
"I really don't see any weapons, armor or clothes here. This is really abnormal!"
"hateful!"
"Another miraculous event?"
"may be……"
"!!"
"That's really a headache!"
The two then discussed a few words, but no one saw the crux of the problem.
Obviously, the incredible question that their leader said was indeed weird enough, and it was also something they had never seen or heard before.
In normal times, even when cleaning the battlefield, soldiers usually recycle coins, armor, weapons, iron tools, leather and other valuable items from the corpses. The blood-stained clothes of the corpses are rarely removed. That's not to mention the outrageous sight like the one in front of me, where all the corpses were stripped naked and even the crotch cloth was left.
"This is not normal!"
"Captain!"
"That swordsman in black, maybe he really is an existence from the dark world, maybe he is the Dark Eagle?!"
However, no matter how weird the thing was, or how the loot was so clean, it was an indisputable fact that the black swordsman killed hundreds of people. Therefore, Yasang felt that some of the old priest Hopps' The statement may be one-sided or incorrect!
In comparison, he was still more willing to believe in the information that the Knights of the Holy Iron Rope had investigated during this period, and the results that were inferred after summarizing that information.
"Shut up!"
"Don't say that dirty and evil name casually!"
Hearing this, Farnese quickly frowned and stretched out her hand to signal that her deputy captain's rash speech had been interrupted.
"Anyway!"
"Whether he did it or not, if you find him and catch him, all the mysteries will come to light!"
"These corpses are still very fresh, and the blood has just solidified. He shouldn't have gone far yet. Without further ado, let's set off now!"
As he said that, he took one last deep look at the pile of naked corpses piled up in disarray. Looking at the scarlet pool of blood, Farnese waved his hand to signal the frightened man who was slumped on the ground. The guide Sebek quickly got up and led her and her knights forward to hunt down the black swordsman.
"hurry up!"
"Don't let him get away!!"
Seeing that the knights not far away were almost ready, Farnese waved his hand and urged the old farmer to lead the way without waiting for them to come and join in the fun.
"ah!"
"yes!!"
"Go this way!"
So, the old farmer who was wearing a nondescript armor quickly jumped up when he came back to his senses, and then rolled and crawled away from the horrible pile of corpses in a funny and busy manner, and turned to lead the way in another direction. go.
…
At this time, when the Holy Iron Rope Knights continued to advance slowly on foot under the leadership of the guide, Annie and Gus were already standing in the deepest part of the Foggy Valley, and were following the people flying high in the sky. The Fairy Queen faced off against a large number of wasp-like fairies led by her opponent.
And behind those goblins was a hideous and ugly, terrifying hatchery that looked like a giant tree made of flesh and blood.
There is no doubt that the large number of wasp-like goblins led by the other party, those who are called forest goblins by the villagers and who are also believed by the cultists, are precisely those twisted and terrifying horrors. The hatchery is hatched from the fleshy cocoons that are like 'fruits'.
"Jie!!"
"I found it, it really is that kind of thing..."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Gus, who was already very experienced, grinned ferociously, slowly took off the big sword he was carrying on his back and walked forward step by step.
"Behelet!"
"snort!"
"You must have had some kind of deal with those Hands of God!"
"right?"
Staring closely at the naked monster that looked like a large human-shaped butterfly, Gus said with a ferocious smile while holding the sword tightly.
Just now, on the outskirts of Foggy Valley, he had wiped out all those guys who could transform into demons. Now, the flying fairy queen and the twisted flesh tree in front of him must be the final culprits. Next, he only needs to destroy and purify them all, and then today's demon elimination mission will be successfully completed.
Actually, there is no grudge between Gus and the fairy queen who looks like a girl turned into a girl, but who makes the other party an apostle created by the hand of God?
Therefore, besides hacking the opponent to death, he has no better choice, because he just likes to have trouble with those Hands of God!
"Um……"
(ˇˇ)
"Uncle Nagus, you have to hurry up!"
(ψ`▽′)o
"Hurry up, or it will get dark!"
“I haven’t had dinner yet!!”
()
After saying that, Annie moved to the back in a flash and urged impatiently.
In any case, Anne didn't like those goblins whose spirits and souls were twisted or even incomplete, and the hideous and ugly hatchling tree, which was as disgusting as the hatching tree of a swarm of insects.
Especially that hatching nest!
The other party obviously did not have the ability to evolve and breed life, but he did it forcefully. Then, when there was no way to breed a complete life form, he opportunistically relied on the sacrifices of the cultists or killed the children in the surrounding villages. The child came to obtain the soul fragments and gave birth to those wasp-like twisted gadgets. This cruel, amateurish and irresponsible approach certainly made Anne a little disgusted.
Therefore, of course she would not stop Gus from his cruel approach of completely destroying the other party.
"whispering sound!"
"I know it without you having to tell me!"
"I don't have time to waste time with these scum!!"
While answering Annie coldly, Gus didn't say anything more. He just dragged his dragon-slaying sword and continued to walk forward step by step with a grin.
"..."
"superior!!"
"Kill them!!!"
At this time, the Fairy Queen, who looked about the same size as an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, but had huge butterfly wings on her back and her head and eyes were different from ordinary people, screamed, causing those around her to slap her The goblins (elves) brazenly attacked Gus and Annie.
