Dark Soul Moon

He stood up and hung the knight's sword hanging on the wall at his waist together with the scabbard.

"Where is Your Excellency Ashes?"

While walking out of the study, Hector asked.

"Ash should have been evacuating the residents of the town."

"Then let's go and help."

…………

Ashes walked into the woods and saw the dead bodies of the two Saxon soldiers.

He analyzed the scene.

The corpse that fell in front of a tree without even pulling out its weapon should have been killed by a sneak attack.

And, it should have been nailed to a tree.

Looking at the gap on the tree that seemed to be inserted by something, Ashes speculated.

As expected, it should be a Lothric knight spear.

Then, I looked at the body of another Saxon soldier.

After a little guessing about what the previous scene was like, Ashes chose a direction to move forward.

That direction was impressively the direction the two dead Saxon soldiers originally intended to go.

After about to walk out of the woods, Ashes saw a group of figures appearing in the distance.

He stood behind a tree and observed the formation of the team.

In the lead are two Saxon soldiers in armor for easy mobility, like scouts or something.

Then followed by red-eyed Saxon soldiers.

After seeing the weapon in the opponent's hand, Ashes narrowed his eyes suddenly.

That weapon is very similar to the straight sword of the ring knights used by the ring knights.

At the end of the lineup were two soldiers wrapped in black mist.

"……abyss……"

Ashes thought.

The abyss should have been sealed under Vortigern's throne.

Where did the abyss and the abyss weapons used by these Saxon soldiers come from?

Ashes immediately placed the object of suspicion on the dark serpent.

Since it is speculated that the other party's purpose is to usurp the primordial fire, then the dark serpent may be secretly doing other things without telling him.

Just like Ashes himself is inheriting the power to fight against the abyss.

"Humph……"

Walk out of the woods, directly exposed to the sight of the team.

Without words, the two sides entered the battle directly.

…………

After returning to the town with Hector, the knights were organizing the evacuation of the residents.

After Hector asked a knight, he returned to Artoria: "Arturia, Lord Ashes is not in the town, someone witnessed him heading towards the woods."

"Huh?" Arturia's green eyes were full of surprise.

Then her expression immediately became tense, "The target of those Saxon soldiers is him! It's too dangerous to do this!"

Without thinking too much, Arturia planned to find Ashes.

Now she is at least not a simple burden, she should be able to help Ashes.

Before running away, Hector directly grabbed Artoria's collar, stopping her from moving.

Artoria looked at Hector.

Actor shook his head: "Since Your Excellency Ashes chooses to face it, he must have a way to deal with it."

"Also, Artoria, King Bei was defeated and sealed by him last year. So you don't need to worry about his safety. The most important thing right now is to evacuate the residents."

"..." Looking at Hector with a serious expression on his face, Artoria, who calmed down, thought for a while, and finally decided to stay and help evacuate the residents.

"Then Kai and I will stay to evacuate the residents, Ector, can you find the trace of Ashes?"

she asked.

"...Alright." Hector thought for a few seconds and nodded.

Evacuating the residents can just exercise Artoria's ability, he thought.

Pull the sword and gun out of the corpse at your feet.
