1288 Death Knight and Assassin(1/2)
"What did you say?"
The moment the messenger said the order, everyone present was stunned. Angry voice slowly floated under General Qin's dark helmet:
"If we retreat, who else can stop this monster?"
"This is the order of the lord." The messenger shouted.
"The lord cannot give such an order!" Yin Shuang's voice trembled: "Is he going to give up this city..."
"We will never evacuate this place until all residents go to take refuge." General Qin's attitude was very tough: "Even if the order is violated, the army must protect the citizens!"
"but……"
The messenger was about to speak when another messenger arrived again and conveyed the new message from the lord to the generals present:
"The lord has sent his private troops to kill the monsters. Please leave immediately, otherwise you may be injured by accident."
"Do you look down on us..." Yinshuang clenched her teeth in resentment.
However, when she saw the soldiers who arrived next, the originally surging anger turned into complete shock:
"What kind of 'person' is that?"
The dozen cavalrymen who appeared in sight seemed to be made of bones, and the eyes of the dark red helmet seemed to have ignited a dark blue flame.
Although their military horses were covered with heavy armor, the legs of only bones were still extremely conspicuous. These guys didn't say a word, but even if they didn't say anything, they still exuded a breath of terror.
"Is this the Death Knight?"
General Qin, who was knowledgeable, recognized the other party's identity. But even if he racked his brains, he could not have imagined when the lord formed such a "private army".
"Death Knight..." Yin Shuang murmured and repeated the name.
"Yes, it is said that in the distant frozen kingdom, there is a king who ruled the territory of the dead, and his army is all composed of the resurrected dead. The Death Knight is the elite among them." General Qin sighed: "I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would really see such an army."
Realizing that the lord had really sent out extraordinary soldiers, General Qin finally accepted the order of retreat and began to lead the soldiers present to retreat.
Then, the dead from the Scourge Corps officially took over the battlefield.
The Death Knights stretched out their bone claws wrapped in iron gloves and pulled out the rune sword from their scabbards, as if they were cast from ice, with runes emitting blue light engraved on the blade.
The Death Knight in front jumped off the army horse. The weapon in his hand was different from his companions. It was a giant red axe, and the armor on his body was heavier than other Death Knights.
Facing the "Sand King" reappearing in the sandstorm, the Death Knight holding a giant axe walked directly into the sand, and dark red blood light rose from his body.
If his companions control Frost, then he controls blood. Although the power of blood can also be used to fight,...
Bang!
The giant spike of the poisonous scorpion was blocked by the giant axe in the hands of the Death Knight. The powerful impact force brought out instantly shattered all the bones in his arm, but the bones that were broken into powder were quickly reshaped under the power of blood.
There was another loud bang, and the Blood Knight's body was knocked away by the giant clamp, flew back ten meters away and fell to the ground, but he quickly stood up like a ok person and rushed into the sandstorm again.
The Death Knights, who have been defeated by humans, have also learned the adventurers' fighting style in the long-term struggle with adventurers: this blood knight is the flesh shield used to attract the enemy's attention. When he completely pulls the hatred of the King of Sands, the Frost Knights behind will rush forward and launch a crazy attack on the enemy!
The giant clamp covered by the yellowish-yellow shell broke out from the sandstorm and slammed towards the Blood Knight.
Then, more than a dozen death knights holding the rune sword in their hands quickly entered the sandstorm.
“…”
After the large army with the wounded and the bodies evacuated, General Qin and Yin Shuang remained not far away, staring at the battle scenes on the street.
Although the sandstorm blocked their sight, the two could still see that these death knights had no casualties at all, and successfully blocked the progress of the King of Sha and seemed to have caused harm to the King of Sha.
The blood that occasionally ejected from the sandstorm did not look like it was flowing out of the Death Knights. The two generals present knew very well that if they continued in this situation, the King of Sand would only end up with death!
"The lord actually has such an army." General Qin sighed: "If they are sent out, whether it is Zhanhen City or Langsha City, they will be conquered soon."
"What else is there hidden by the young master?"
Yinshuang's eyes stared at the sandstorm, looking at the blurry black shadows that were shaking constantly: "I don't want to train with the dead..."
"Don't think too much, Yin Shuang." General Qin shook his head: "I think these death knights are just unworthy pawns to the young master. He may have other killer moves in his hands."
"I used to think that the young master was a fool, but now it seems that he is really wrong..." Yin Shuang lowered her head and stared at the wound on her leg: "Maybe the young master was just busy with other things at that time, and he didn't show his true strength until recently."
Bang!
Accompanied by a earth-shaking loud noise, the sandstorm on the street suddenly disappeared.
The giant scorpion with a yellowish shell fell down dejectedly. The Death Knights put away their rune swords and turned back to the skeleton horse that had been standing not far away "watching".
After completing the killing, they still made no sound or made any celebration. They just turned over and turned around and left, like a cold machine without any emotion.
"A monster that hundreds of us can't handle is like this..."
Before Yinshuang finished speaking, she heard a crisp child voice behind her:
"Don't be upset, you guys act very well."
She and General Qin turned around at the same time, and happened to meet the young master's pretty face. Seeing that the person she was talking about had arrived, Yin Shuang was holding back the words she was about to say.
"You are here, young master." General Qin leaned over and bowed.
"Well, I'm here to collect the spoils." Lin Chi smiled and walked towards the corpse of the scorpion on the street ahead with the guards.
Although he didn't kill it himself, the spoils that should be dropped will still fall. Lin Chi came to the corpse of Sha Wang, looked at the giant scorpion five meters long, and reached out to grop in the pool of blood below the corpse.
"Lord, please leave this kind of work to us." Shen Wenchong hurried forward.
"It's okay, I prefer to do it myself." Lin Chi said with a smile.
After defeating the BOSS, of course, it is more fulfilling to do it yourself. Lin Chi searched for it and cut off the spike at the tail of the Sha King with a dark sword, holding the poisonous sting in his hand, and the item introduction appeared in front of him:
The Desert King's Poison Needle:
Materials, consumables.
Item Level: Epic.
The stinger can be used as a weapon material or to extract toxins in it.
"It is said that there was a strange collector who raised a heterogeneous creature called "Sand King" at home. When the police arrived, they only found a pool of blood from him."
In order to avoid poisoning, Lin Chi immediately stuffed the poisonous sting into his backpack and pried off a solid carapace on the body of the Shawang.
The Desert King's Carapace:
Material.
Item Level: Excellent.
Can be used to make shields or armor.
“It’s harder than you think.”
As the young lord skillfully took materials from the monster's corpse, the guards and generals present were silent for a while.
Because I don't know if toxins are still flowing in the monster's body, Lin Chi gave up his plan to continue digging out the internal organs. But before leaving, there was another spoil:
He took out the bone-like "cage" from his backpack, and under the gaze of everyone, he raised the soul cage that was only the size of a palm, and shook it beside the Sand King's body.
In the center of the oval cage, a red flame floated in it, but without any temperature, as if it was a ghost fire that attracted people.
“What kind of ritual is this?”
Yin Shuang, who had never seen such a posture, was still wondering, but she saw a gray mist floating into the cage in the young master's hand. At the same time, the Sand King's body began to decay quickly and turned into dissipated white dust.
"Okay, you don't have to clean up the corpses in this way." Lin Chi said as he put the soul cage into his backpack, nodding with satisfaction: "Go back."
The soul cage he obtained from Sodom City can be used to imprison the soul of a dead man. The soul of an ordinary warrior is of no use even if it is imprisoned, but the soul of a monster like "Sand King" is different.
If the soul of the King of Sha is released, it may be possible to create the effect of a weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield. The flesh and blood of humans has its limits. No matter how powerful a guy is, he cannot resist the attack of the King of Sha is!
After plundering the spoils, Lin Chi sent a messenger to order the engineer to transfer workers to repair the damaged roads and houses. Then, he issued a new order again:
A Red Armored Messenger hurriedly walked into the camp of the Lord Guard and knocked on the wooden door of the second floor room.
"I am here to convey the lord's orders."
"Come in." A weak male voice rang out inside the room.
The messenger walked into the office with a simple decoration and happened to meet the eyes of a "mummy".
Ren You sat on a brown wooden chair with many bandages still wrapped around his body. His body, which was beaten up by General Qin a few days ago, obviously it would take a while to recover.
"The Lord Lord ordered you to find the brotherly assassins who sneaked into the city, and if you have the ability, get rid of them." The messenger conveyed the instructions accurately, then turned and left.
“Ha…puff.”
Ren You laughed out loud and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. He quickly picked up the strip of cloth on the wooden table and wiped his mouth, but his eyes were bent into a crescent shape.
"It should be that Ye Ying who was revealing the information...but it doesn't matter."
Wiping off the blood at the corner of his mouth, Ren You slowly stood up, walked to the wooden wall of the room, and skillfully unloaded a wooden board.
When he was "young and frivolous", he was indeed a member of the legendary assassin organization, the Brotherhood. Although he had already washed his hands and turned into a bodyguard for Lord Yanfeng, some things that had long become habitual still remained in this body.
He took out a slender blade from the hidden box behind the wall, tied the object to his forearm with the black belt that came with the blade.
This retractable weapon called Xiujian is the favorite of Brotherhood Assassins. But unlike other assassins, Ren You does not install the Xiujian in the direction of the palm of his hand, but in the back of his hand:
A long time ago, the Brotherhood Assassin needed to cut off his ring finger before using the Shoujian. However, according to Ren You's research, the most primitive Shoujian should be installed on the back of his hand. Those idiots just pretended to be in the opposite position, which caused the tragedy of forced finger breaking...
