"Sealed Artifact: Blood Thorn (cavalry-specific weapon).
"Description: This is a special lance wrapped in thick blood and double-sealed. The blade and shaft are crystal clear blood or lavender, sharp and tough, and very suitable for cavalry use. The end of the blade Bound with a black rope. The magic power spread by the controller and the blood thorns in a small area will not be restricted by magic, blood energy interference and other obstacles.
"Special effect: Spell-breaking. Activating the spell-breaking properties of blood spines will severely damage the target's mind, and even disrupt the will and spirit of enemies within a certain range, making them unable to concentrate, cast spells or maintain magic form. This special effect requires the absorption of blood. When activated, the pain, blood and madness permeating the corpse-strewn battlefield will make it even more powerful. The activation interval of the spell-breaking special effects is no less than fifteen minutes.
"Special effect: Blood Edge. Once the Blood Thorn is activated, the life and soul energy dispersed by each enemy killed by the leader will be absorbed by the leader, strengthening its lethality (about 5%), healing injuries to a small extent and recovering Physical strength lasts for 30 minutes and can be stacked up to 10 times.
"Special effect: Toughness. The unique structure and exquisite craftsmanship give the Blood Thorn unimaginable toughness, reducing the back damage the wielder receives when hitting the target. The weapon body will not break and has a high probability of knocking the target away.
"Special effects: exquisite. The unique blade structure and perfect weapon balance take into account various attack methods such as piercing, chopping, and projecting, and can even perform range attacks.
"Special effect: armor piercing. In the hands of a skilled wielder, there is a certain chance of penetrating heavy armor or even dragon scales.
"Remarks: The origin of this terrible weapon is unknown. The soul of the weapon refused our communication and killed many testers. There are still some powerful abilities that have not been discovered. Before the battle, the black rope needs to be untied to release the blood spines. The first layer of seal, otherwise the Blood Thorn will be just a sharp and easily damaged spear.
"Negative effect: After the seal is lifted, Jian Feng must be soaked in blood or killed every 24 hours, otherwise it will cause the person in charge to lose vitality and mental power rapidly. The person in charge will hear strange sounds."
"I heard whispers, this sealed object seems to be calling you," Alandel came to Griffith, raised her head and looked into his eyes, and said softly, "It seems that among the extraordinary people gathered nearby , only you can use this type of weapon. If you need it, this sealed artifact can be lent to you."
Griffith could hardly take his eyes away from the bloody thorns.
A faint whisper seemed to be in my ears. This weapon is calling itself.
With this power, can I stop this and change Elodie's fate?
Well, at least it can destroy the cultists' control over Elodie. As long as I have this powerful sealed object, coupled with the war horse and breastplate, I can exert all my power.
Yes, I can fight even if I face a strong person from Sequence 7 or even Sequence 6! Even the overwhelming mutant creatures can penetrate them!
"Please prepare a war horse, a real war horse. The horse needs a vest to protect the torso." Griffith looked into Alandel's eyes and said seriously.
"As you wish." The beautiful daughter raised her skirt elegantly and curtsied to the ordinary trainee knight.
"How are you going to evacuate so many people?" Griffith thought again and then asked? "The mutated infected will kill all living creatures."
"Leave the evacuation to me? Although the families in Heura are not good at fighting, they can still play a role? They will build a multi-layered defense line with the army and other defenders? You just need to help them buy some time. "The girl led Griffith toward the door. "If you want to get close to Elodie, you must first clear away as much monsters and cultists as possible around Elodie trying to control her. When you get close to her, you must also do it. You have to hurry up. Do you have an echo crystal? We can contact you within a certain range."
At the door of the memorial committee? Some locals have already taken action.
A man saluted respectfully to Griffith. He was leading a packhorse with a saddle full of bows, arrows, axes and other weapons.
"Hello, Mr. Trainee Knight? I am the loyal servant of Miss Salles Alandel. I will provide you with all the supplies and intelligence assistance I can in the next battle."
"The city defense army and other reinforcements have already deployed multiple lines of defense on the Queen's only route. They will delay as much time as possible to protect the refugees. Please support them.
"Please return here in three hours at the latest? We can prepare the breastplate, war horse and activated sealed artifact for you."
Sales handed over the reins in his hand:
"The prepared war horses are third-generation war horses bred on the island's ranch. They are firm and obedient, with excellent endurance and sprinting. You can ride them for short marches and then immediately engage in charge operations. A single charge can last about two minutes. If controlled, Horsepower can launch multiple short-term charges.”
…
Tourists and residents participating in the memorial ceremony were as densely packed as sesame seeds on biscuits, covering the roads and pavilions from the foot of the mountain to the top. Some places with particularly beautiful scenery are even more crowded.
Didn't they see the terrifying vision of ashes filling the sky? They were completely unaware of the changes in their bodies and the coming horror.
Is it no longer necessary to evacuate such a large number of latent infected people? We can only keep them as far away as possible from Elodie, who will bring mutations.
But? How to do it?
Once a mass panic breaks out in a place like this, hundreds of casualties will be caused by trampling on each other, not to mention that the chaotic crowd can't find a way to escape. If they flee towards Hepu Town, they will run into an out-of-control situation. Elodie was infected with the mutation together.
If, by chance, the worst happened, would I be able to choose between Elodie and these strangers? In front of Griffith passed children holding their parents' clothes and lovers holding hands. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily as he had to think about the worst-case scenario.
"Dear guests, please note that guests born in January are invited to come to the altar at the top of the mountain. The Hanami Festival has prepared unique birthday gifts for guests born in January."
Many luminous crystals arranged on both sides of the mountain road suddenly trembled, and a soft and sweet female voice came out. This voice did not come from Alandel, but it was still very pleasant.
The crowd started to move immediately, and many tourists walked towards the top of the mountain. Even people whose birthdays are not in January still go to the top of the mountain to try their luck or join in the fun.
"Guests with children are invited to come to Nanshan Pavilion. Special activities have been prepared for children..."
Just as Griffith was thinking, another voice came from the crystal. The guests who were still regretting the unlucky birthday just now became interested again.
The slow-moving crowds flowed like melting snow, one group rushing to the top of the mountain, and the other group heading towards Nanshan. As soon as they arrived, many men and women wearing the armbands of the Hepu Town Memorial Committee greeted them and led them through the path toward the back mountain.
What a good idea! In a peaceful order, tens of thousands of tourists took action and diverted to different roads. Griffith admired it in his heart, and then walked towards the gentle slope going down the mountain.
Alandel's steward placed some weapons on the packhorse and followed Griffith down the mountain. The number and capabilities of the enemies in this battle are all unknown, and the power must be reserved to contain and protect Elodie, so we must save our energy as much as possible.
"We found that the queen's advance towards ordinary people is unstoppable, but her remaining will is still trying to resist the control of her, and will stop every once in a while," Sales said in a smooth tone, "Mr. Apprentice Knight, the cultists have deployed some rituals to strengthen their mental control over the queen. You only need to concentrate on destroying one ritual to create an opportunity to contact Miss Elodie. Do not launch an attack hastily."
"Okay, I understand," Griffith nodded, and then added, "Elodie may still have a chance to be treated, so we must protect her."
"We know nothing about the characteristics that infected her. The chance of being rescued is less than one percent. We can only do our best." Sales said calmly, not caring about Knight Xi's thoughts at all.
So low... Griffith's heart thumped, as if something was shattering. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to support his body and mind.
"Look, the first wave of enemies is coming." Salas suddenly raised his finger and pointed down the mountain.
Small black dots appeared on the street corners in the distance. As the distance approached, Griffith took the telescope handed over by Salles and saw their appearance clearly.
These creatures retain a human form, shambling, twisted and broken. As their footsteps moved, pieces of debris were falling from their bodies.
The city defense army has formed a formation at the entrance of the mountain to receive the residents fleeing from all directions and protect them from running up the mountain.
At the entrance to the block further outside, a group of boy soldiers occupied the houses on both sides and built a barricade on the road.
"Westero, prepare to fight!" Sergeant Oscar's shout could be heard from a distance. He is giving instructions. The young soldiers who had set up roadblocks at the street took up their weapons and formed a fighting formation behind the roadblocks.
Thirty young soldiers lined up with spears and shields, and another thirty raised their crossbows and aimed forward from the gap. Behind them, stronger young soldiers were armed with short swords, hatchets and shields. Everyone has no armor.
Griffith was stunned for a moment, and used his inspiration to scan the squadron. All the young soldiers have more or less blood surging in their bodies, but what is certain is that none of them are strong at the level of extraordinary beings, not even Oscar.
"Sergeant, how are you going to fight?" Griffith came to the young soldier and asked.
He had never seen the way the Westeros Special Combat Techniques Force fought. On the battlefield on the Eastern Front, this mysterious force is like a legend. It always appears without warning and fights strange enemies. After the battle, it quickly disappears without a trace.
