Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

In the middle of the night, there was silence in the manor. Only the magic crystal lamp powered by magic was on, providing lighting for the busy servants who got up in the middle of the night.

In the kitchen, a maid hurriedly walked out holding a pottery basin.

After hearing that a friend of Master Crono had arrived with the knights, in order to entertain them, the butler ordered his servants to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for the knights. To this end, they got up early and started preparing breakfast before dawn. of ingredients.

The maid walked on the road paved with stone bricks. Her mission this morning was to go to the nearest bacon shop to buy the bacon sausage that Master Crono liked.

In the dark night, everything was quiet. Only the street lights and the windows of some houses gave off a faint light. Everything seemed extremely quiet. The breeze blew, making the sleepy maid wake up a little.

But soon, this peaceful scene was broken. The maid looked up thoughtfully. In the sky wrapped in black mist, the cold moonlight was quickly dyed red, and a huge fireball shot from above the city. As it passed by, the strange red light illuminated the entire Beltram.

The maid froze on the spot, suddenly remembering something, her face turned pale, and the pottery basin in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and smashed into pieces with a snap.

But she had no time to pay attention to the broken pottery pot at this moment. The woman hurriedly pulled up her skirt and trotted back towards the manor.

A few seconds later, in the north direction of Beltram City, a red shock wave swept toward the city like a flame rising into the sky.

Boom! ! !

The huge shaking sound was like a thunderous sound that directly woke up the sleeping city. The lights in the residents' houses lit up sporadically with this sudden phenomenon, and some noisy sounds appeared in the city.

In the manor room, Chu Ming, who was still running the secret method, suddenly opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly, "Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge vibration came from the distance, instantly turning the night outside the window red. The window squeaked and vibrated, and the red light illuminated half of the room.

Chu Ming suddenly stood up from the bed, staring out the window, feeling an ominous feeling in his heart.

"This is...the second dark demon nest has arrived?!"

After realizing this, his heart suddenly shook, and he hurried to the cloakroom to put on his knight uniform and armor.

After tightening his belt, Chu Ming hung the two long swords placed in the corner on his belt, put the staff on his back and walked towards the door.

Click... The door lock turned, and Chu Ming walked out of the room. In the brightly lit corridor, he saw Miguel and others who were also wearing armor and had serious expressions on their faces.

Chu Ming waved to Miguel and said seriously: "Gather all the knights immediately, and let's go to the north of the city to investigate the situation."

"Yes, Captain."

After issuing the order, Chu Ming strode out of the corridor and came to the hall.

After seeing Chu Ming come out, a maid with an anxious face quickly lowered her head and saluted:

"Sir Ren, the young master is over there at the door."

Chu Ming nodded to her and walked out of the hall. He soon saw Crono, who was wearing pajamas and chatting with the knight outside the door.

When he approached, Crono had just finished chatting with the knight and turned his head with a worried look on his face.

Suddenly a figure appeared behind him, which startled him immediately. The magic patterns on the man's body suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously hid aside.

Chu Ming grabbed his sleeve and said helplessly, "It's me."

After hearing the familiar voice, Crono stiffened and finally saw Chu Ming clearly in the darkness.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death. I almost thought a dark monster was coming."

Chu Ming ignored his words and just asked: "What's the situation outside now?"

When Chu Ming asked, Crono's face gradually became serious, "I heard from the knights patrolling nearby that another dark demon's nest seems to have fallen in the forest north of the city. Grandpa Randy is summoning more knights to defend the city wall. It is said that after the Dark Demon Nest appears, it will immediately set off a wave of fanatical beasts. If it cannot be stopped..."

Crono stopped talking. If the dark demonic tide really breaks through the city wall defenses and breaks into the city, then the Harlowen family's business in Beltram will be destroyed, and it is not known how many people will die.

Chu Ming consoled him: "The knights of my knights are all blue level and they also help protect the city wall. I plan to lead the knights to the north of the city now."

Crono looked shocked, "Isn't it too risky..."

Halfway through the man's words, his mouth was blocked. His face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go too. After all, I'm also a mage. Defending the city wall will definitely be much easier for knights."

Chu Ming glanced at the pink pajamas on his body and the little cotton hat on his head, and reminded him: "You'd better put on your demon-forbidden armor first."

Hearing this, Cronuo glanced at his clothes subconsciously. The man's face turned red in a rare moment. He said goodbye to Chu Ming and hurriedly ran towards the house.

"Wait for me, it'll be quick."

The man's voice disappeared. After a while, the knights gathered together and went to the stables to bring out the horses.

Chu Ming rode on his one-horned blood horse and waited on the street for a while. A figure came out of the manor on a magic horse. This person was Crono.

I saw a man dressed as a knight, with a majestic horse under his crotch, and a fiery red mane like a burning flame. But the strange thing is that what he held in his hand was not the long sword or spear equipped by knights, but a Long wooden staff.

Chu Ming glanced at him, waved to the knight and said, "Everyone join me to support the city wall guards."

"yes."

The sound of horse hooves became louder, and the magic horse moved faster and faster, running recklessly on the streets, heading towards the north of the city.

…

On the northern wall of the city, after learning that a new dark demon nest had appeared in the north of Beltram, Grand Duke Randy and Lawrence of Harlowen quickly rushed to the northern wall. At this time, they were looking at it with a bit of emotion in their eyes. He looked solemnly into the deep darkness of the forest.

Under the city wall, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and waves of guards arrived, climbed onto the city wall, and defended.

Lawrence's expression was not very good. "The first wave of beasts after the arrival of the Dark Demon Nest is the most terrifying. Coupled with the dark demon tide released by another Dark Demon Nest outside the city, I am afraid that the number of dark monsters will reach a very high level this time." It’s terrifying.”

Mayor Romulo shook his head and said: "No matter how scary it is, we have to defend it. Let's gather the legion here temporarily."

A few people nodded silently and stared quietly into the depths of the forest. Behind them, the legion knights were running busy under the command of the sergeants. The legions from the Fengyang Empire were also ready, and many mages' staffs were shining. Deadly light.

"Roar!!"

A roar suddenly sounded from the forest, and the sound waves rushed out quickly. The trees were broken in the middle, and the storm rolled up. The front of the forest suddenly became empty. A giant beast with a height of dozens of meters and a body like a meat ball walked out of the forest. It The dark skin was bubbling constantly, and a terrifying aura was exuding from his body.

"Epic three stars?!"

Randy's face darkened.

"Lawrence lend me a hand and I'll pull it off."

"Marcelo, it's up to you to look after the city wall."

After the old man finished speaking, the withered muscles on his body suddenly swelled up like a balloon, and his whole body hit the dark beast like a cannonball.

Boom!

The sound of air explosions resounded throughout the battlefield, the dark beast howled miserably, and its huge body couldn't stop falling backwards.

The giant beast staggered, trampling countless dark monsters along the way and falling to the ground.

Buzz! !

The spells on the city wall shone brightly, and the epic mages released spells to bombard the surrounding dark demonic tide.

The war is about to break out. Although dark monsters evaporate and turn into phantoms on the battlefield all the time under the fierce attacks of knights and mages, they will soon accept the rapid resurrection of dark power and attack the city wall with the surging dark demon tide.

"Follow me and kill the dark monsters."

An epic dwarf officer shouted, and he led other epic knights to jump down from the city wall, and started killing in the dark demonic tide without fear of death.

On the city wall, the mages waved their staffs. Once a knight was injured, they would immediately release healing spells to restore their wounds.

Lawrence stood on the city wall, and the explosions hit one after another. The strong wind raged on the battlefield, blowing his hair.

The man looked towards the forest behind the battlefield between Randy and the giant beast. He could sense that there were countless terrifying dark monsters attacking from there.

He stretched out his palm, his eyes focused, and an invisible realm instantly expanded from his palm, wrapping the dark demonic tide under the city wall inside.

Magic forbidden!

A rule suddenly appeared. The dark monsters in front of the knights roared and wanted to rely on instinct to release spells. However, no matter how they stimulated the spirit, the magic in the environment seemed to be rigid and could not be activated by the spirit at all.

This situation that went against instinct appeared, and the dark monster, which had no intelligence in the first place, showed human confusion on its ferocious face.

brush!

The next second, the knight's furious slash struck, killing all the dark monsters in front of him.

With the help of Lawrence, the intensity of the dark demonic tide suddenly decreased, making it easier for the knights to face the dark demons.

It’s just that Lawrence doesn’t dare to be careless because he knows that this is just the beginning.

As he expected, shaking sounds gradually came from the distant forest, the forest trees collapsed, and a group of more powerful dark monsters rushed over from the dark devil's nest in the north.

Even with the help of the Forbidden Demon Realm, facing such a terrifying amount of dark demon tides, the knights still fell into endless killing and fighting.

In just a few minutes, the condition of the knights on the battlefield was much worse, and another group of knights on the city wall took over.

As soon as Chu Ming led the knights to the city wall, he heard wailing sounds everywhere on the city wall, and the injured knights were being treated by mages.

"Miguel, you command the knights to assist the guards in defending the city gate. Don't force it. If there are any special circumstances, retreat immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

Miguel led the knights to dismount and walk towards the city gate, while Chu Ming and Crono climbed onto the city wall together and looked at the situation outside the city wall.

In the forest that had been bulldozed, the dark demonic tide emerged from the black mist, coming in wave after wave like a tidal wave, forming a huge beast wall and slapping towards the knights.

In front of a wave that was tens of meters high, Randy and the giant beast were quickly submerged. The wave did not stop surging, crushing the knights under the city wall.

boom! ! !

The ground subsided instantly, and hundreds of epic knights were submerged in it instantly. Due to the sudden incident, several epic knights had no time to respond, and were directly shot to death in the wave. The remaining epic knights also felt uncomfortable, one by one. He was seriously injured and could only barely resist the attack of the dark monster.

The epic knights who had just recovered on the city wall had no choice but to jump off the city wall again, preparing to replace the injured knights, but the dark wave of demons would not wait for them to react. Another wave surged from a distance and hit the city wall.

Chu Ming's eyes shrank, he pulled out the sword of guidance, and shouted: "All knights get out of there and retreat to the city wall."

Although Crono on the side didn't know what Chu Ming wanted to do, he still followed Chu Ming and shouted: "All knights go to the city wall first."

Chu and Ming repeated the instructions to disperse, but in the noisy environment, the knights could not hear what the two were saying, and even the mental fluctuations they spread were quickly disrupted by the chaotic mental fluctuations.

Lawrence glanced at Chu Ming, and the man knew that Chu Ming was the young man he had seen yesterday, who led the knights to break into the dark demonic tide alone.

He stared at the raging dark demonic tide in the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Domain expansion!

Invisible order was established in this world, and the man's faint voice instantly spread throughout the battlefield along with the order.

"All knights retreat and return to the walls."

The sound echoing on the battlefield and the strong mental fluctuations were instantly transmitted into the minds of every knight. They were all stunned. Although they did not understand why Lawrence wanted to give up the defense, they still obeyed the order, cleared the surrounding dark monsters, and jumped directly. Climb the city wall.

After seeing all the knights leaving the battlefield, Chu Ming finally felt confident.

He looked at the dark demonic wave that was about to attack not far away, and shouted, "Please use me to attack, but don't get close to me."

When the knights around Chu Ming heard this, they were shocked and left Chu Ming's surroundings one after another.

The muscles of Chu Ming's arms tensed up, and he held the Sword of Reception tightly. He let out a low drink, and the power of his blood was poured into it, and he raised the Sword of Reception high.

Rumble…

Suddenly, thunderclouds gathered over the battlefield, thunder suddenly appeared, and thunder shuttled across the sky with terrifying momentum.

"call……"

Chu Ming slowly exhaled, ready to be struck by lightning.

His eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of lightning flashed through his eyes. The thunder patterns on the sword became twisted and active, and traces of electric arcs jumped out from the sword body and Chu Ming's body.

"ah!"

He roared angrily, and under the horrified gazes of all the knights, he jumped off the city wall without hesitation, and was instantly swallowed up by the surging dark demonic tide.

The knights couldn't help but pale when they saw this scene, and instantly they thought of Chu Ming's ending.

But before they had time to mourn, the thunderclouds in the sky were brewing to the extreme, and the thunder plasma fell straight down into the dark demonic tide like the roar of a giant beast.

boom! ! !

Thunder exploded nearby, shaking the eardrums of the knights. In their horrified eyes, the impact of the dark demonic tide came to an abrupt halt. A large hole opened in the middle of the huge wave. Countless dark demons were instantly caught in the wrath of the thunder. evaporation.

In the open space in the middle of the disintegrating dark demonic tide, Chu Ming kept inserting the sword into the ground with both hands and knelt on one knee.

"ah!"

The intense pain made Chu Ming couldn't help but let out an inhuman roar. Green light radiated from his body, and the charred skin on his body peeled off quickly.

But before he could even take a moment to rest, the lightning roared and fell again, hitting Chu Ming's body and blasting a shallow, scorched black hole around him.

After the Sword of Reception devoured enough thunder power, it was pulled by the sky thunder and suddenly raged out, forming a hemispheric thunder field around Chu Ming. The thick thunder snake climbed out of the field instantly and entangled itself. Dark magic tide around.

Amidst bursts of wailing, the dark monster was paralyzed by lightning and could not move.

At this time, the mages and knights finally came to their senses. They released spells or long-range attacks on the city wall far away from the thunder. Some knights even threw their swords directly into the dark demonic tide, and the raging thunder snakes came into contact with the swords. Then, it suddenly exploded, blowing the dark monster into pieces.

It became much easier to deal with the dark demonic tide after its offensive was broken up. When Chu Ming pulled out the sword of guidance and the thunder disappeared, the knights went off again and slaughtered the surging dark demonic tide on the battlefield.

In fact, the number of dark monsters killed by the Sword of Reception is nothing compared to the entire dark demon tide, but the most terrifying thing about the dark demon tide is its all-devouring, surging offensive.

After the demon tide offensive was disrupted by the sudden thunder, the threat of the dark demon tide dropped by more than one level. It was completely impossible to be the opponent of the prepared epic knights. The only fate they faced was to be massacred.

In the center of the battlefield, Chu Ming gasped, put away his sword, and jumped up to the city wall.

Just now, in order to trigger the sky thunder to bombard the dark demon tide, he consumed most of his physical strength, and the blood power in his body was also depleted a lot. He had to take a rest, otherwise he would not be able to attract the thunder when the dark demon tide struck again. .

Chu Ming fell into the city wall, and the surrounding knights cast admiring glances at him. Cronuo quickly rushed over to support him.

"Are you OK."

Chu Ming leaned on the wall, shook his head and said: "The consumption of blood power by inducing the sky thunder is too great. I need to take a rest. From now on, I can only rely on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang.

"Mr. Lane, right?"

Lawrence walked into the group of knights. He half-knelt in front of Chu Ming and opened the sandalwood box with gold edges, revealing a light red potion that exuded a faint starlight.

"This potion was refined by Lord Claude, the chief alchemist of the empire. It can quickly restore your consumed knight power and amplify your physical body."

Chu Ming was stunned and took the potion.
