Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"Unlike Rodel's golden tree, it is a newborn that is new and will not plunder souls...whatever." The knight on the left sighed, and a thick male voice came from the helmet: "Thank you for bringing back my life and sanity. , my name is White. From now on, until my body turns to decay and my soul turns into fragments, I will always follow you."

"Like Lord White, I also offer my soul and life to you in another world." The knight on the right also said, his voice was much clearer than White's, and he could tell that he was also a male: "My name is Fazhuang. At your command."

"Please get up first. I have something very important for you both to do now." Roland still couldn't adapt to the way others knelt down to him.

He briefly and quickly told the two homeless knights what happened here. White and Fazhuang nodded, each took off their weapons, held them in iron-wrapped gloves, and walked outside.

Only then did Roland realize that the weapons used by the two lost knights were different. White's was a combination of a lost knight's shield and sword, while Fa Zhuang was using a lost knight's halberd.

And they were really tall. The sword of the Lost Knight used by White was no lighter than the two-handed sword in Ikosela's hand, but it was used as a one-handed sword in his hand.

"Follow us, the king's army. We will open a way." White came to the door, put his shield on his back, raised his sword with both hands, and Fazhuang next to him also raised his halberd with both hands.

The storm gathered, and the strong wind blew away the two wooden doors connecting the tables and chairs piled up by Farrugia and the others to the main hall of the city.The next second, the figures of the two homeless knights rushed out quickly with the roar of the storm, setting off a scarlet whirlpool among the empire pioneering soldiers who had entered the city lord's palace.

Along with the enemy's screams, Farrugia was stunned for a moment, sighing in his heart that he was indeed an opponent who could fight against the original king Godfrey and his Crucible Knight.He really didn't react just now, and then Farrugia immediately gave the order and led the king's army to rush out following the corpses of the enemies along the way.

Chapter 22: Homeless Knight

Juseus felt very uneasy. His left eyelid had been twitching ever since the huge golden crown appeared in the barrier.

Even through the barrier, he could feel the mystery of the golden tree.After all his years of service, everything that made him feel similar was always something very powerful.To be on the safe side, Juseus sent more mages to build another magic-forbidden barrier.

It was this stability that allowed him to survive the empire's expansion wars again and again.

"Your Excellency Yolan, Mr. Langote, what is the origin of the enemies inside?" Juseus asked the Holy Armor soldiers uneasily.

Yolan glanced at Langote, who understood and answered to Juseus.

Langert said: "A group of people claiming to be the 'Golden Dynasty' came to the ancient city early this morning with a shadow disguised as the wife of the city lord tied up."

Youlan nodded in agreement: "Yes, it can be seen that they are not in an alliance with the Charles Empire, and they don't even know about the existence of Shadow Thorn."

"But the other party has a very magical torch in his hand, which can completely make the Shadow Thorn appear from that weird invisibility technique. Unfortunately, the other party's purpose is the same as ours, which is to have these ancient cities. If His Highness the Second Prince hadn't named him and issued the death order. I can still negotiate with them in this small town." Langert shrugged.

Juseus nodded: "Since the opponent also has so many ancient cities, there is no room for relaxation."

"Speaking of which, is there anything magical about these ancient cities?" Langet touched his chin, "They are backward and dilapidated, and even the defenders are in a mess. Your Highness, the Second Prince, actually wants such a small, broken city?"

Juseus looked at Langote with a serious face: "You are not allowed to speculate on the second prince's thoughts at will. We soldiers only need to carry out orders."

Langert raised his hands in surrender and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand. I'm just curious."

"Your Excellency Yuseus is right, you should be less curious." Youlan exhaled and patted Langet on the shoulder, "Otherwise you will die on the streets one day."

"Wow, is His Highness the Second Prince's methods so terrifying?" Langet was speechless.

Juseus coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the city lord's palace in front of him: "The soldiers who have gone ahead have been enchanted and the enemy's magic-forbidden barrier has been set up. The team can set off at any time."

"Then I'll leave it to you to take command. Just leave one or two alive." Yolan nodded. He was one level older than Juseus in terms of rank and position, but he had no intention of replacing Juseus. command.

No matter what position he does, what he is good at is leading elite teams to carry out encirclement and suppression, breakout, or gathering intelligence.Directing soldiers on a large scale was not his specialty.

Juseus also knew this and just asked him in a routine and polite manner.

"Heavy-armed teams one and two! Four people abreast, advance with shields! One team of crossbowmen and two tactical mages follow up!" Juseus ordered. The armor on the soldiers and the shields in their hands were filled with earth elements. In order to avoid being too heavy and immobile, the mages also thoughtfully helped the soldiers with some frivolous spells.

Two people raised a large shield in groups, and then two people stood side by side. Its width was exactly the width of the door of the city lord's palace.A team of 8 people totaling 16 people will form a square, with 10 soldiers equipped with strong-hand crossbows and spears in the middle.

The spear was placed in the groove formed by the suspicious splicing between the shield and the shield, ready to deal with possible enemies at any time.

However, the soldiers were relatively relaxed mentally. Although the giant golden tree above their heads eliminated the original blinding effect of the magic circle, other effects were still in effect.

Not to mention that Commander Juseus also arranged an extra level of forbidden magic area, so even the magic god and martial saint would have difficulty escaping if they stayed in it.

Of course, under normal circumstances, there would be no powerful person of the level of Dharma God and Martial Saint who would just sit there and watch you set up a magic circle to target you.

The enemy's strong masters will usually be restrained by their own strong masters, giving their mage troops the opportunity to lay out spells and enchantments.

In this world, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. Even a powerful person like the pride of heaven would not dare to attack the enemy's tens of thousands of troops at will, let alone have opponents of the same level as him staring at him.Once a mistake is made in the formation, the next round of good attacks will basically subdue him.

Scenarios where strong men can rush into battle are usually when they are chasing defeated enemies or fighting to the death.

As a heavy equipment unit of the Empire's pioneering corps, William was very familiar with this process.As long as the outer magic circle is set up, he only needs to cover his teammates behind him and kill or arrest those enemies who have been deprived of strength and have almost no ability to struggle.

However, the two holy armor soldiers said that the enemies inside were quite capable, so he did not take it lightly.As a soldier who often walks on the border between life and death, William would not consider reminders from friendly forces as words worth mentioning.

He stepped into the City Lord's Mansion with his companions who lived with him day and night, not caring about the precious flowers under his feet.

When he saw the fallen corpses from the previous battle, William felt the breath of his companions on his right take a heavy breath.So he joked: "Hey, are you nervous?"

"...A bit." His companion Quailni admitted with a heavy breath. Quailni was a newcomer who had just finished his recruit training.

William smiled, then looked at the head of the female Holy Armor Soldier who was still beheaded on the ground and said: "Don't be nervous, little boy. Tsk, have you seen this Holy Armor Soldier? This sword is really cruel, it's a pity that it is so beautiful. What a pretty face.”

"So, isn't it disrespectful to the dead?" Qualls' throat was so nervous that he wanted to take a sip of water.

William rolled his eyes at him and said: "Only the living are qualified to be respected, do you understand? When you encounter an enemy later, just be honest and raise your shield. Don't think about killing the enemy to gain merit. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I remember." Quilney took another deep breath.

During the conversation, the two came to the closed door of the city lord's hall and saw the blood-stained wooden door.

"It seems that our enemies are not just lambs without the ability to resist. They should have blocked the door because they were smart." William jokingly explained to Quilney.

Seeing Quilney's puzzled look, William continued to explain: "I have encountered many enemies who stubbornly resisted in this circle. I thought that by retreating to the house, I would bring greater attrition to us, and even wait for it. When we broke through the door, someone launched a suicidal counterattack."

Then William saw the crossbowman behind him push his long spear stuck in the groove and hit the door hard, making a muffled sound.

The wooden door shook slightly, and William nodded with an expression that was indeed true.

"Look, it's indeed blocked." William said, glancing behind him, "The next step is to see what the mages do. Should they use poisonous gas to fill the inside, or use the Earth Fissure Technique to collapse the entire room? Or Just surround them with a wall of fire and burn the air inside to suffocate them with the black smoke?"

Quilney didn't dare to blink and stared at the door."I know, it's written in these textbooks," he said.

"Tsk, what is written in the textbook is not as exciting as what you saw with your own eyes." William rolled his eyes, and then said excitedly: "Oh, oh, he actually used poison gas. It seems that he wanted to capture him alive. Do you know that once this poison gas is inhaled, The whole body will slowly decay and cannot be cured. Although you will not die directly, watching your body rot for the rest of your life will really drive many people crazy."

The two well-protected tactical mages took out their staffs and chanted spell verses in conjunction with each other. The etheric magic was gradually built into a green air ball, slowly rotating in the air and making a moderate sound.

"Yes, I know, it's written in the textbook." Quilney suddenly looked uneasy. He turned to look at William and asked, "But the textbook didn't say that this spell would make a sound like a roaring storm, right?"

"Storm?" William frowned in confusion, "How can... wait?"

The two of them, or rather everyone, invariably heard the increasingly louder sounds of the storm, and looked in the direction of the wooden door.At some point, the wooden door began to shake violently, with increasing frequency and amplitude.

The two mages felt the violent wind element ether inside, their faces turned livid, and they immediately stopped chanting the corrosion technique.A man tore open a spell scroll with earth attributes. The earth under the hall of the city lord's mansion surged, and an earth wall rose from the ground.Another mage immediately chanted a white ether shield at high speed in front of William and the others.

"First row!!! Raid your shields!!!! Prepare to attack!!!" William and the captains of Quarni immediately shouted. The earth attribute enchantments attached to their bodies were activated, and the thickness of the shields in their hands gave them a lot of strength. A sense of peace of mind.

The next second, two wooden doors mixed with many tables and chairs were swept by the storm and flew towards the soldiers' shield array.The door and the tables and chairs were immediately blocked by the earth wall, which produced a lot of dust and was immediately blown away.Then it hit the ether shield together with the broken earth wall. Fortunately, the ether shield did not break apart and blocked them all.

However, when two almost invisible silver figures appeared and rushed over, William felt his arm holding the shield go numb, and he took off into the air, connecting with Quailni who was in his group.

What happened?William fell to the ground and his blood surged so much that he almost vomited blood. He looked up and saw a scene that frightened him.

Two majestic silver heavy-armored knights wearing flying dragon statues smashed directly into their shield formation. He and Querni, who were in relatively good condition, were knocked away directly.The captain who had just given the order had his halberd poured into his heart by one of the silver knights. Another knight who easily wielded a two-handed sword with one hand killed several heavily armored soldiers with ease.

The crossbowmen reacted quickly, raised their powerful crossbows that could shoot through thick wooden boards, and pulled the triggers. However, a powerful storm erupted from the silver sword and shield knights, which not only scattered the hand crossbows, but even destroyed the formation of the remaining soldiers. Blown away.

The two mages reacted quickly, using the soldiers in front of them as a cover to use the time to float themselves in the air.After building a spell shield around yourself, immediately start chanting offensive spells.

"White, leave the mage on your head to you. I'll deal with the remaining soldiers." Fazhuang swung the halberd that had stabbed the enemy in front of him, and the body was thrown into the group of soldiers, hitting five or six people.

"Okay." White didn't say much and looked up at the two mages in the air.

A ferocious smile appeared on his face under the armor: "It's been a long time since I saw a mage who dared to chant spells in front of me. Do you think you can sit back and relax just by floating in an egg shell?"

At some point, red runes appeared on White's hand holding the sword. He held up the Dragon Feast Mark, and scorching dragon flames poured out from it: "Face the dragon flames, stupid mage! You will be annihilated in the scorching breath! There will be no bones left. live!"

The flames engulfed the two mages, and the scorching temperature distorted the space.By the time the dragon flames dissipated, the two mages had already returned to the underworld without even leaving their ashes.

Fazhuang's actions were even simpler. He retracted his halberd, and the power of the storm gathered on the halberd. Then his whole body swept past like a typhoon, and was directly involved in the shield formation of the remaining soldiers, throwing out every blow. A wild storm. (The Homeless Knight swept five times in a row, and the Furnace Knight had to be knocked down.)

William saw Quailni struggling to get up, raised the shield in his hand and rushed back.Before he could stop him, he saw Quailni's twisted and broken figure flying backwards.

It's all over, William thought with a pale face.Why does the barrier have no effect?Could it be this big golden tree that caused trouble?

Then he felt a piece of cold, sharp metal pressed against his neck. A female swordsman wearing armor with a golden tree and a lion emblem looked at her expressionlessly, with fiery red hair hanging down from her cheeks.

"Wait, I'll vote..." Before William could finish his words, Ikosela had already swung the hilt of his sword and chopped off his head.

Before William's consciousness disappeared, he saw more soldiers dressed similarly to the female swordsman, following the two terrifyingly powerful men who harvested the lives of their companions, advancing all the way.

The Pioneer Corps is coming to an end.The last thought flashed through his mind, and William fell into darkness forever.

Chapter 23: Exit the Homeless Knight

The movements in the city lord's palace were naturally heard by people outside. Whether it was the soldiers holding shields blocking the door or Juseus who was talking, they all looked at each other.

Juseus reacted quickly and was about to order the mage to block the gate of the city lord's mansion with earth-attribute magic.But the Homeless Knight inside is faster.The red torrent burned a big hole in the barrier, and several soldiers near the door disappeared with it.

The soldiers who were closer to Long Yan were even more miserable. The moisture in their bodies was roasted in an instant, and they were immediately carbonized without even screaming. The armor they were wearing turned into molten steel and flowed on the ground together with the remaining carbonized tissues of the soldiers themselves.

Youlan and Langote have activated their holy armors, and their eyes are full of surprise and confusion.

"Neutralize with water-based magic!" Juseus was also a little frightened, but still gave the order without changing his expression.As long as he doesn't show panic, the morale of his soldiers will be stable.

However, Juseus was also frightened. If he had been standing by the door just now, he would have ended up as miserable as those soldiers.

Cool water gushes out from the spells constructed by the mages, washing the area where the dragon's flames have just been spitted out.The large amount of water vapor produced covered the door, and everyone present heard the sound of heavy footsteps.

The footsteps were very slow, like beating drums, hitting the hearts of Juseus and others step by step.The figure of the visitor was hidden in the white steam, making the soldiers both curious and frightened.

Juseus was not the kind of commander who liked to wait for the enemy to show off. He immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to surround him and cooperate with the mage's actual attack spells.

"Re-equip the fifth team and move forward with shields! Tactical mage, use quagmire and then freeze."

There is nothing wrong with Juseus’ empirical judgment.Facing an enemy with unknown strength, he first used the lives of heavily armored soldiers to buy the time required for the mages to chant and cast spells.

The enemy's footsteps are heavy, so there is a high probability that they are also wearing heavy armor that makes it difficult to move.First use the quagmire technique to trap the enemy in it, and then use the freezing technique to freeze the mire, making the enemy unable to move.

But it's a pity that Juseus encountered a homeless knight who didn't play by the rules at all.Even though they were wearing heavy silver armor, they moved as fast as leopards.

The moment they heard Juseus' order, White and Fa Zhuang locked onto his position.

The water vapor was blown away by the storm, and the heavily armored soldiers approaching became unsteady.Fazhuang, who was holding the lost knight's halberd, seemed to have turned himself into a cannonball and smashed it in the direction of Juseus.

White continued to move forward to maintain the storm, scattering the incoming crossbow bolts and some long-range spells to cover the king's army charging behind him.

As soon as the King's Army rushed out, they immediately separated into a group and ran towards the mages at the four corners of the city lord's palace. Robles and Amber skillfully took out their crossbows and shot while running.But White arrived first, and the silver and black Homeless Knight shield was surrounded by the storm and scattered the soldiers protecting the mages. Naturally, it also blew away the crossbow arrows originally aimed at the soldiers.

"Ah this." The two brothers Robles and Amber were stunned for a moment, looked at each other at the same time, sighed at the same time, then put away the crossbow arrows in unison, took out the brass shield and charged at the King's Army with the straight sword. past.The mage who arranged the magic circle soon encountered the blade of the king's army.

Farrugia and Pang did not follow White to destroy the barrier, but followed Fazhuang very hard and charged with broadhead guns in both hands.

As the elite troops of the French Empire, Youlan and Langote were naturally not slow to respond.After hearing the exaggerated movement of Fazhuang, the two people immediately raised their swords to block Juseus.

But the strength gap between the two sides was too huge. The two felt like they were hit by a bullock cart full of rocks and flew backwards, suffering serious internal injuries.

However, due to the obstruction of the two men, Fazhuang's halberd, which was originally a fatal blow, was slightly deflected. Juseus only felt a huge force coming towards his face and his whole body was slammed to the ground.His head was buzzing and stars were popping up in his eyes. Before he could react, he heard a sentence: "Since he's not dead, let's catch him alive."

Then Juseus felt a pain in his neck and lost consciousness before he could react.

"Damn it, Langote, use the teleportation device to evacuate first. What happened in Duogu City must be reported to the country." Youlan vomited blood and struggled to say.

When Langet heard this, his eyes showed a little sadness, but there was no hesitation in the movements of his hands.He reached out and patted a bulge on the chest of his armor, and his whole body was immediately surrounded by short-distance teleportation space magic.

Farrugia and Pang arrived just in time, with their guns ready to stab.But Youlan suddenly burst out with amazing will, rushed over, and blocked the two attacks with his body.

"Pfft——!" Youlan's body was penetrated by a broadheaded gun. He held on to the barrel of the gun that penetrated his body, preventing Farrugia and Pang from pulling it out.

"Go-!" Youlan roared with a ferocious expression.

"Team..." Before Langote could say the word "long", space magic had already teleported him away.The last thing he saw was his captain being beheaded by the silver armored knight with a blow from his halberd.

Fazhuang took back his halberd with some distress. He said with some displeasure: "You actually used teleportation magic to escape directly. Are you bullying me for not knowing magic?"

On the side, Farrugia and Pang Yan looked at their noses and hearts, thinking that the storm combat skills and dragon feast prayers of your Knights of the Lost Country were not much better than that magic.

With Fazhuang capturing Juseus alive, the remaining pioneering guards of the empire were leaderless. In other words, as long as someone dared to stand up and direct the soldiers' actions, Fazhuang would unreasonably hit him with a "storm attack". Death makes no sense at all.

Soon, the soldiers of the French Empire's Pioneer Corps were defeated, but under Roland's order, neither the Homeless Knights nor the King's Army had any intention of capturing the soldiers.

The two sides launched a battle royale game with great disparity in strength in Dogu City. Soon, except for Juseus, who was captured alive from the beginning, no soldier from the Imperial Pioneer Corps survived.

On the other side, under the leadership of White, Ikosela and others completed the destruction of the double magic circle without attrition.At the moment when the magic circle was broken, the light projected by the golden tree directly enveloped the entire Duogu City, exuding a rhythm of warmth and peace of mind.

"Hey, it's time to wake up, Attendant. Let's burn the Night City to ashes together." Roland looked at Juseus who was tied up on the ground and was still unconscious, and patted his face.

The Homeless Knights and the King's Army who were standing around to protect Roland were a little confused when they heard what Roland said, but they all remembered "The City of Night was burned to ashes".

When you go to the city called "Night City" in the future, you must prepare the Dragon Feast Prayer/Flame Pot to fulfill Lord Roland's wish.

This was their inner thought, and soon another question arose.
