"That's not the case," Luo Ning suddenly felt that his tone was a little too sure, so he immediately changed his words.
"There are so many adventurers in Elan King City, I haven't heard any information about the poison in it, but some forest areas may be poisonous... But the first thing we have to go through is the desert, the desert is not poisonous, it should be."
Luo Ning changed his tone with uncertainty.
He can't talk too much, otherwise it will look like he has been there.
"I do have a map hand-painted by the adventurers themselves, but they say that the landforms of the demons are changeable. For example, the oasis that the adventurers protected spontaneously disappeared after a short time, and the mysterious black land that always falls down. rain……"
"Don't worry too much, Principal Maria," Luo Ning interrupted Maria.
Seeing her worried look, Luo Ning couldn't help but smile, he reached out and patted Maria's shoulder, and said softly.
"You'll be hiding behind me for a while."
Maria was dazed in depression. She really wanted to say, how could the headmaster hide behind the students... But after another thought, Luo Ning was not her student at all, so she simply accepted it.
319 The Panic Crowd
Ten minutes later, the knight commander stood in front of everyone.
Half of the mithril helmet on his head was disassembled, and a gas mask was hung on his face. The mask and the helmet were seamlessly combined, and most likely it was specially customized by the craftsmen hired by the empire.
The mask looked quite unique, with two large hoops hanging beside the cheeks, which looked like a frog with a mouth puffed out.
Luo Ning couldn't help feeling puzzled.
How low is the intelligence value of this group of people? Although the inside of the demon clan looks like a smog, it's not that they can't even breathe.
After thinking about it, it is only possible that these knights are too cowardly.
They are afraid in their hearts, which is why they are so defensive.
The transport vehicles brought were temporarily piled aside by the knights, and the earth dragon and horses were also tied to the trees together. The terrain around the demon barrier was desert sandy land, and the only way to move forward was on foot.
After making those preparations, the knight commander lit the torch in his hand, and at the same time, he became the focus of everyone present.
"Keep in formation, don't panic no matter what you see, and don't think about running away."
The knight commander stood on the rock, his eyes from the gap in his helmet coldly scanned the group of common people in front of him.
His tone was serious, and his voice was deep and muffled: "Everyone should know the rules of the Crotal Empire. Deserters will be executed on the spot."
The voice of the knight commander echoed in this lonely night.
The air was eerily quiet, with the faint chirping of insects in the bushes, and the flustered breathing of those suppressed in the crowd.
Although everyone who came here was well prepared, when they really wanted to step into the territory of the demons, the little psychological defenses that had been built up with great difficulty would be broken.
Among the thousand people, most of them are ordinary people.
The psychological endurance of ordinary people is so little. When they know that their lives are in danger, the instinctive sense of fear will start to spread all over the body.
"Principal Maria..."
"Principal Maria..."
Uneasy calls from the crowd came one after another.
The common people hardly knew Luo Ning, and the only person who made them feel a little familiar was the principal of Saint Zemaria College.
Perhaps for them, Principal Maria is the only person who can keep them alive.
Someone tremblingly took a few steps forward, holding Maria's hand with trembling hands.
Maria was surprised to find that the person holding her hands was actually an elderly grandmother.
The old man's hands were covered with age spots, and he was wearing the rusty bronze armor issued uniformly by the empire. His gray hair was hidden in a cloth hat, making it difficult for people to identify.
"Principal Maria, I'm old, and I'll just die. I'm willing to make a contribution to His Majesty. But, can you promise me that you won't be recruited again. This time I will replace my 16-year-old grandson, next time. This time, there will be no one to replace him...he is the only one left in the family..."
The old man's voice trembled slightly, but the cloudy eyes under the hood were bright. She looked at Maria as if she was looking at the last hope.
Maria's eye sockets were a little red, suppressing the surging emotions.
She gritted her teeth, she was more angry than pity.
This group of empires... When recruiting soldiers, most of the people were recruited by the empire themselves in the city of Yilan. They promised the city lord that they would only find adult men.
But now, these guys have obviously broken their promise.
"Principal Maria, there are three children in my family. If I can't go back, the children will all starve..."
"Principal Maria...and me..."
"Principal Maria..."
"boom--!"
A heavy heavy sword flew from a distance, and hit the broken rock on the ground with a bang.
The crowd who came up all backed away in fright, looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not make any unnecessary noises.
The knight commander came over with a trace of impatience in his cold eyes.
"Set off."
He drew out his sword and hung it back on his waist. After an order, a dozen knights surrounded the civilians.
The civilians became silent, just like when they left the city, their heads were lowered, like penitent prisoners, numbly following the knights.
Principal Maria held the old man's hand, patted the back of her hand lightly, and guided her back to the line before turning around and walking to the front.
She was wiping tears as she walked.
The suffocated red eyes could no longer contain the two crystal clear tears, Maria raised her hand frequently and wiped it with the back of her hand.
She walked to Luo Ning's side, glanced at Luo Ning, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.
There was a bright light in her eyes, and those eyes seemed to be full of anticipation and hope. She wanted to get an accurate and reassuring answer from Luo Ning.
But Luo Ning didn't speak. Instead, he took out a tissue from somewhere and handed it to Maria.
Maria didn't answer, and kept looking at him as she walked.
Luo Ning sighed.
"You don't expect me to wipe your tears, Mr. Principal."
"..." Maria froze for a moment before taking the paper.
"Now is not the time to joke, Luo Ning..."
"It's not the time to be sad either." Luo Ning shrugged.
"Nothing happened yet, but your expression is as wronged as if I betrayed you."
Maria lowered her voice and said, "But... I can't see how scared they are. What they said makes me feel so uncomfortable."
"It's normal for them to panic and cry, but you can't cry. When you cry, they panic even more."
"I know...but..."
Maria bit her lip, and after a moment breathed out again.
In desperation, there was an extra self-deprecating: "It would be great if we could be stronger. We can't even protect our own citizens. When we encounter danger, we will even push the citizens out..."
She said her eyes were red again.
Luo Ning took another look at her, then looked away.
He raised his eyes to the vast sky.
There are many stars in the sky, flashing and disappearing, but the brilliance of the moon is still hidden in the clouds, missing.
Luo Ning saw not only stars, but also a fat white dragon with flapping wings.
He gave the little angels on the fat dragon a look, telling them to follow behind the crowd and enter together.
Raz lay on the white feather dragon, stretching his arms and making gestures.
She pointed to the knight in front of her, and then made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Luo Ning couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth, and glared at her, stopping the little angel's outrageous movements.
Luo Ning knew in his heart that someone behind the line was watching them.
Otherwise, the magic attack just now would not be so punctual and precise.
Someone is watching them move forward. If the knights are dealt with rashly at this time, all the efforts made by the old king will be in vain.
So Luo Ning couldn't deal with these people in advance.
And he also wanted to see what the knights wanted to do after they entered.
Raz on the top of his head seemed to understand Luo Ning's instructions, so he patted his flat chest to assure Luo Ning, then controlled the White Feather Dragon, and followed at the end of the team.
320 Breaking In
The edge of the barrier has been solidified by the dark elements into a circle of black jelly.
From a distance, the opening of the hole is five meters wide, like an arched door, even with a door frame.
The leading knight commander stood by the door, and after walking a few meters, he stopped.
"You advanced."
He turned his gaze to Luo Ning.
Luo Ning was puzzled for a while.
No way, how could this knight commander be so cowardly?
In fact, it is right to think about it. For the knights of the empire, most of the tasks they participate in are dealing with people.
Except for some adventurers who are not afraid of death, few people will come directly to the territory of the demons like this.
It is normal for knights to be afraid of demons, but all human beings are afraid of demons. That kind of fear is more like a sense of rejection of aliens.
Luo Ning sighed: "OK, OK, I'll go ahead."
He walked up to the knight commander, and met the cold eyes of the knight commander hidden under the helmet.
Shaking his head helplessly, Luo Ning took another step to confirm that the barrier had indeed been broken.
The temperature and humidity in the air change instantaneously.
The air in the demon territory is a little cloudy. Because of the scarcity of plants, the sand here only needs to be blown by the wind lightly, and it will be blown far away.
The current human territory is dark night, and the demons are also dark night, so after entering, the change of light is not obvious.
It's just that all the bright stars in the sky disappeared, replaced by rounds of huge, terrifying blood moons.
Gemini Red Moon, a major feature of the Demon Race.
The moon here does not rise and set like the human sun.
The red moon never fades, just like the character of the demons who never surrender.
As soon as Luo Ning stepped in, he suddenly stopped.
Under the nervous gaze of the knight commander, Luo Ning raised his arm and put it on his eyes.
"What?!" The knight commander asked Luo Ning in a panic.
Everyone was observing Luo Ning's behavior, for fear that he had been poisoned or his body was cursed by black magic.
Luo Ning was rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.
After a while, he replied leisurely:
"Sand got in the eyes."
Knight Commander: "..."
The knight commander breathed a sigh of relief, and then led the people in.
For the vast majority of people, this is the first time they have seen this scene inside the barrier.
There is wonder, and the fear of the unknown.
Luo Ning rubbed his eyes, turned his head to look at the strong man at the edge of the crowd.
He was the only one who was neither surprised nor frightened.
