1149. Assassination

At the end of the month, Surdak asked Commander Adolphus for two days' leave, and as promised, he rode to the Zakarum Knights on the front line of the defense zone.

The Zakarum Knights' station is located on a hill. There is no fence around the station, just a fence surrounded by sharpened hardwood. You can see the stables inside the station from a distance, and you can see those horses through the fence.

The black-scaled horse is brushing its tail and eating grass.

This time when visiting the Zakarum Knights, Surdak only brought Samira with him.

The two rode horses to the gate of the Zakarum Knights' station and looked towards the vast battlefield ahead. They could also see some broken blades and broken armors of demons on the battlefield, some flags stuck diagonally in the soil, and even

All have lost their color.

It can be seen that the Empire's Constructed Knights and the Demon Legion once fought a fierce war here.

Suldak took out the invitation letter written by Commander Felix himself. The guard at the camp gate immediately separated a construct knight and led the two of them directly to the stone house in the center of the camp. The camp buildings were half of the bottom.

It was built with stones, and the upper part was made of a huge wooden frame, covered with a layer of rain-proof felt.

The guard came outside the tent and shouted: "Report!"

The curtain of the big tent was opened from the inside, and the close adjutant beside Commander Felix poked his head out from inside. He saw Surdak standing at the door at a glance. The adjutant patted Surdak on the shoulder.

He ordered the guard: "He is Commander Felix's guest, I know him!"

The guard immediately saluted and walked quickly to the gate of the camp.

The adjutant asked Suldak in a low voice: "Dak, why are you here?"

Surdak said nonchalantly: "Commander Felix and I have made an appointment to visit Commander Felix at the end of every month..."

The adjutant took a deep look at Suldak and said in a low voice: "Please come in!"

Commander Felix looked a little depressed and a little thinner. He sat upright in a chair. The desk in front of him was filled with documents that needed to be signed and reviewed. He looked very focused, lowering his head and carefully reading.

Read the file.

It wasn't until he signed his name in the lower right corner of the last page of the document that he put the document aside.

He just raised his head and found Suldak and his adjutant standing at the door of the tent, saying happily:

"Dak, I'm glad to see you can come to the appointment."

Suldak strode up to Commander Felix with Samira and said: "Master Felix, you seem to be recovering well!"

"Yes, I have indeed recovered completely." Commander Felix nodded. He stood up, threw the quill in his hand into the ink bottle, and then said: "This should be your first time here.

Knights of Zakarum, let’s go, I’ll take you around the camp.”

Seeing that Suldak could come as promised, the smile on Felix's face never disappeared.

He took Surdak for a walk around the Zakarum Knights military camp, and first came to the cavalry training ground in the camp. Although the camp was very simple, the training ground was built very grandly, surrounded by

They are all horizontal wooden fences, and the tracks in the training ground are also long and straight.

There happened to be a group of construct knights practicing charging on the field, and Suldak felt an almost solidified murderous aura from them.

Twelve knights lined up on the training ground. They were wearing golden battle armor, raising the knight's spear in their hands high, and stabbing at the target dummy almost simultaneously.

The knight's lance made a muffled sound almost simultaneously...

Then Felix took Suldak to the barracks and walked around. The place was a bit shabby.

"This is a temporary camp. It is not as fully equipped as the Blue Bridge Fortress, but the basic life here can still be guaranteed." Commander Felix introduced to Suldak.

When these tents were set up, half-meter-high stone walls were built underneath, so these tents looked spacious enough and the inside of the tents was also very neat.

The sentry post of the Zakarum Knights is located high on this hill. It is a wooden platform built of wood that is eight or nine meters high.

In the last step, Felix took Suldak to a tent of wounded soldiers. Although the battle had ended so long ago, there were still some wounded soldiers lying in the tent.

Without saying a word, Surdak immediately stepped forward to check on the injury.

The wounds of these Zakarum knights have not healed, and basically the black demonic energy in the wounds cannot be eliminated.

Surdak whispered to Commander Felix: "Sir, these wounded should be sent to Blue Bridge Fortress as soon as possible."

After saying that, he sat down in front of the hospital bed and took out the tool box from the magic belt bag.

He took out a knife from inside, and the wounded soldier's arm was almost covered with a hemostatic bandage.

He used a knife to cut open the wound covered with a hemostatic bandage. The wound inside was already somewhat black in color and had a rotten smell.

"Not only has the injury on this arm not healed these days, it has become more serious than before!"

The construct knight lying on the hospital bed said weakly.

There is still a bit of a second-level strongman.

Surdak glanced at the knight and said: "These rotten places must be scraped clean, otherwise even if the black evil energy is dispelled, there will be no way to restore it."

Suldak, who was in working mode, was serious and focused, almost forgetting where he was.

By the time all the seriously injured patients were treated again by Surdak, it was already past dinner time.

The adjutant who was waiting aside personally brought a basin of hot water and asked Suldak to wash his hands before saying, "Commander Felix is ​​waiting for you in the cafeteria..."

Unexpectedly, just because he treated these injured construct knights, the adjutant actually used honorifics to Surdak.

Suldak glanced at Samira, who had been helping beside him, and said to the adjutant with a smile: "When you say this, I really feel a little hungry."

There are almost no lights at night in the frontline camp, and all the night-time construct knights are hidden in the darkness.

Surdak followed the adjutant to the camp cafeteria. Unexpectedly, there were still many people sitting here. When he entered the cafeteria, all the construct knights waiting in the cafeteria stood up.

This formation made Surdak feel a little surprised. He saw Commander Felix at the dining table at the end of the canteen, and walked into the canteen.

As he walked into the cafeteria, every time he passed a Construct Knight, he would hear them loudly announcing their name in Imperial dialect:

"Dan Dickens..."

"Jude Kelphen..."

"Elmer Falconer..."

"Cagle Cowley..."

In just a few dozen steps, Surdak heard at least half of the construct knights of the Zakarum Knights calling out his name.

The leader of the Zakarum Knights was not in the camp, so he did not participate in the welcome ceremony.

Surdak had a very sumptuous dinner in the cafeteria. It was actually smoked swamp giant crocodile and magic antelope meat. The two World of Warcraft ingredients were paired together. It was really a luxurious meal.

"I won't say much more about my thanks. I just hope you can treat more wounded people on the battlefield..."

Commander Felix patted Surdak on the shoulder and said.



After dinner, Surdak accepted Commander Felix's teachings on knights.

It was still for Isaiah to compete with Surdak.

This time Surdak was mentally prepared to be blasted.

However, relying on the skills and combat experience he learned on the battlefield, Surdak once again completely suppressed Isaiah with his shield.

But when Commander Felix asked Surdak to only use the knight's fighting style, Surdak was immediately beaten by Isaiah's blaster. He didn't even know how to fight anymore, so he could only hold up his sword.

The shield blocked, but Isaiah forced him to step back.

"Although your own strength has increased, you still do not regard yourself as a knight!"

Felix took Suldak outside the camp and began to point out his shortcomings.

Surdak also admitted that those fighting methods were habits developed over many years, and if you want to completely change them, it cannot be done overnight.

Commander Felix put his arm around Surdak's shoulders and sat on the edge of the boulder on the hill outside the camp.

"But if you want to continue on this path of knighthood, you must overcome these difficulties." Commander Felix said.

"I will try my best..." Suldak said with some guilt.

"Perhaps you will find your own path, but that will actually be more difficult!" Commander Felix said to Suldak.

Surdak nodded. Just when he turned around and wanted to say a few words, his vision in the darkness suddenly became a little distorted. Surdak immediately had a premonition that something was not good, and he raised his hands towards Felix.

The commander pounced.

At this moment, a vague figure appeared behind Commander Felix. A black sharp blade stretched out from behind and inserted into Commander Felix's ribs on the left rear side, trying to penetrate from here. A black arm emerged from the shadow.

Stretch out from below.

Surdak turned his wrist up to grab the dagger held in his black arm.

He timed his swoop very well and knocked away the shadow that suddenly appeared behind Commander Felix.

But when he wanted to hug the shadow, the shadow disappeared out of thin air.

Commander Felix reacted immediately. He picked up a shield and stood up. The shadows that were everywhere in the darkness appeared behind him again, wanting to assassinate Commander Felix at all costs.

Two sharp black thorns suddenly appeared. Felix turned around to avoid the vital point, swung his shield and hit the two assassins behind him. He also recited a short spell in the air. The ground under his feet seemed to be cracked, and countless flames erupted from it.

Spewing out from the cracks in the ground beneath your feet.
