Gas, the brave man, was obviously getting impatient. Fortunately, at this time, Kahn sent someone to invite Gas and Xia Yanzhen.
The two of them were taken to a rather secluded place.
King Kahn XIII welcomed them inside.
In the spacious and bright room, in addition to the soldier guards, several people were already waiting.
"The brave man is here..."
As soon as Gus came in, someone shouted in a strange way.
Xia Yanzhen looked in the direction of the sound.
The man who spoke was a bald man who looked to be about forty years old, pale and thin. He was wearing a black robe and his hands were tied with chains.
"It's you? Greer."
Garth narrowed his eyes.
"Who is this?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Kahn XIII introduced next to him: "Greer, a true human traitor, committed a heinous crime ten years ago and fled to the demon territory. About two years ago, he was captured by Gass."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing Kahn XIII's words, Greer laughed loudly, "Captured? If I hadn't done something wrong at that time, would this bullshit Avenger also want to capture me?"
Garth didn't say anything, walked forward and directly unlocked Greer's hand.
"Ha!" Greer smiled briefly and suddenly looked ferocious, "Looking for death!"
In an instant, a bloody mist appeared around him, covering his entire body and disappearing.
Greer, a fourth-level magician and a blood noble!
Just as the blood mist filled the air, a golden glow emerged from Gas's body.
The golden fighting spirit turned into a wave, scattering the blood mist. Gass reached out and grabbed Greer: "Where do you want to escape to?"
The blood mist is not for attacking, but for running away.
Greer was choked by Garth, and the terrifying golden fighting energy suppressed him, making all his bones groan.
As a legal professional, Greer did not have a good habit of exercising.
The physical strength is about the same as that of ordinary people.
Facing the golden grudge, he is as fragile as a piece of cake.
But Garth did not kill Greer. He let go of him when he was almost unconscious and let Greer fall to the ground.
It's clear that Greer is one of Kahn XIII's teammates for Gas.
After letting Greer go, someone took the initiative to say: "Garth, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Lenger." Gass nodded to the Lenger.
This is a man wearing similar robes. He is probably about the same age as Gass, but his hair and beard are all white.
He was holding a short black stick in his hand, not sure if it was a staff.
"This is Lenger..." Kahn XIII continued to introduce Xia Yanzhen.
Lunge, a fourth-level magician and necromancer, has a similar experience to Gass and has cooperated with him several times.
These two people are considered old acquaintances of Gass.
Some of the remaining four are familiar to each other, and some are not. They need to be introduced to each other by Kahn XIII, rather than simply talking to Xia Yanzhen.
"Brother Benson..."
The Benson brothers mentioned by Kahn XIII are a pair of twins who look similar but dress completely differently.
The older brother, Big Benson, wears heavy armor and carries a large shield like a door panel on his back. His fourth-level profession is an Iron Shield Knight.
The younger brother, Benson, was lightly armored, carried a bow on his back, and had a crossbow hanging on his waist.
The fourth-level profession, Wind Chaser, is an archer. It is worth mentioning that archers also belong to the warrior profession.
Even within the same occupation, abilities and techniques vary from person to person.
Among the warriors of the first rank, some are good at strength, some specialize in speed, and some like long-range attacks.
At the second level, various professions will naturally emerge.
The same is true for mages, but because they all use spells, they don't seem to be as different as warrior professions.
The Storm Chaser is one of the top long-distance combat professions in the warrior system.
After introducing the Benson brothers, Kahn XIII turned to a blond and sunny young man.
Al, a fourth-level priest and a healing professional, greeted everyone with a bright smile.
The last one was an unsmiling woman with a scar on her face and an aura of being kept away from strangers. She was also wearing armor, but it was light armor, which was lighter than the armor on Gass.
The kind with iron plates attached to the leather armor.
Wearing two swords at the waist.
This person has a rather special identity, Yousefka. She is one of the captains of the palace guard, a fourth-level professional, and an afterimage swordsman.
Like the Pain Knight, it is a very rare and powerful profession.
In fact, among these people, except for Al's priest and Big Benson's iron shield knight, the other professions are relatively rare.
These powerful fourth-level professionals mentioned above are the teammates that Kahn XIII found for Garth.
After the introduction, everyone got to know each other.
What else does Kahn XIII have to say?
Al asked: "Um...everyone knows, Lord Brave, is this one also going to the demon territory with us?"
He raised the long white staff in his hand and gestured to Xia Yanzhen.
"This—" Kahn XIII said, "is also a brave man."
Xia Yanzhen took off his hood.
This surprised Al and others.
"Are you a former hero?!" Al said in surprise.
He is relatively well-informed and has vaguely heard about the former hero Summer Munster who turned into a demon.
Immediately reveal Xia Yan’s true identity.
"Yes." Xia Yanzhen smiled.
"Your Majesty Kahn, what's going on?" Big Benson was a little confused.
"He will go with you." Kahn said concisely.
"I'll keep an eye on them both," Gass said at the right time.
The Benson brothers looked at each other and had no objection.
Everyone can accept Greer's betrayal, let alone the former hero.
Compared with Greer, Chamonster is more mysterious.
Yousefka showed no expression. She was from Kahn XIII and had known about these arrangements for a long time.
But Al came over curiously: "Um, can I ask if you have really become a demon?"
"I don't know, so I want to go with you to find out the truth." Xia Yanzhen said.
"Oh, oh." Al showed a surprised expression.
On the other side, Gass said: "When everyone is here, I will tell you directly. My purpose this time is very simple, which is to kill the Demon King or die there. You can quit at any time, and you don't have to die with me.
.”
"Gas, have you really decided?" Kahn XIII asked as the others did not speak.
Gas nodded: "My body is about to give out. While I can still fight, I will take one last trip. If I fail to kill the Demon King, I can also inflict heavy damage on the Demon Clan."
Becoming a hero made Garth become very powerful, but it did not allow his body to recover from its many holes.
After twenty years of hard work, how could you not give something?
Gass clearly felt that he only had less than a year, or even less than half a year, left to live.
Of course, he would not choose to relapse from his old injuries and die suddenly on the hospital bed, but would choose to burn himself completely.
Even if you die, you will bite off a large piece of flesh and blood from the demon.
"I'm almost there," said the necromancer Lenger, "I will accompany you until the end."
"Thanks, old friend."
Before anyone else could express their stance, and there was no need to express their stance, Gass continued, "We are leaving in the afternoon. Do you have anything else to prepare?"
The others shook their heads.
"Yes, I need a hot bath, a good rest, my equipment and..." Before the blood noble Greer finished speaking, he was lifted up by Gass.
"Then let's meet at the city gate in the afternoon." He left with Greer who failed in his struggle.
"Wait a moment."
Kahn XIII took two steps forward and presented a small purple-black stone.
"What is this?" Garth asked.
"Insurance." Kahn XIII gestured to Greer in Gas's hand, "When you feel it is necessary, inject strength into it and crush the stone, and it will be broken together with it."
"Hey, this is different from what we agreed!" Greer shouted immediately, "You didn't say you would give this to Gus!"
Garth nodded and put away the small stone.
"Hey, boy, we're talking about you! Former brave man, I can see that you are also trapped by this madman. How about we join forces and find an opportunity to kill him and escape?" Greer objected to no avail and looked at Xia Yanzhen,
"Sir, I have a place in the demon clan. It is much better to follow me than to die following these fools.
"Did you know? When female demons are excited, not only their magic patterns and skin color will change, but their body temperature will also change. Some are cold, some are hot, or even hot and cold. That feeling... is guaranteed to last you a lifetime -
—”
Greer's ministry came to an abrupt end.
Garth couldn't stand Greer's dirty words and punched him unconscious.
Al and the three of them withdrew their gazes and showed righteous expressions.
Xia Yanzhen also looked away. Of course, what he was looking at was not Greer, but the stone that Garth had put away.
That stone felt a little familiar to him.
Like the stone that turned Tiamat from an ordinary red dragon into a ghostly red dragon.
But whether it is the Nether Stone or not is still uncertain.
If so, and if enough can be found, Tiamat's strength should soar.
afternoon.
The weather is just right, the sun is high in the sky, and the sunshine is shining warmly on people, dispelling the coldness of winter.
At the gate of the city, the death squads heading to the demon territory gathered.
In addition to humans, there are three earthly beasts.
The earth beast is a unique kind of beast in this world. It is similar in size to an ox, has a very docile personality and has full endurance.
There is no hair on the body, replaced by a carapace. Its limbs are similar to the fleshy palms of cats, and its "fingers" are longer and more flexible.
Like goats, they are very good at crossing mountains and ridges.
The earth walking beast carries luggage and supplies, and also takes on the work of the camel man.
There are three mage professionals in the team, and climbing over mountains and ridges is also a big test for them.
It's a lot easier when there are earth animals around.
Inside the pile of luggage hanging by the Earthly Beast, there is also a birdcage with three homing pigeons in it.
It is used to unilaterally contact the city-state of Karn. If the entire army is finally wiped out, no one will come back.
At least some news can be sent back.
There was no grand farewell ceremony, and no handful of loess was taken away.
Everyone wore traveler cloaks and hid their faces. Except for the earthly beast, which was somewhat attractive, they left the high-walled city gate in a low-key manner and embarked on the road to conquer the demons and kill the demon king.
