Hearing Vivian's words, Broken Sword Knight Kaim blinked and was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a strange look in his eyes: "You also want to... go to the north?"
It's normal for him to have such a strange look in his eyes.
At this moment, the Dragon Empire is falling into a great chaos. The Imperial Corps, the Black Sword Knights, the Broken Sword Knights and the Northern Army are attacking each other, which has brought about a crisis far more serious than the country's one-on-one battle with half of the world.
Under such circumstances, anyone with a normal mind would make the decision to stay away from the whirlpool, let alone a group of Yis people from the other side of the world who had just been hunted down by the Black Sword Knights?
What will happen to the north beyond the black pine forest? First, the hinterland of the empire under the control of the Black Sword Knights, and then the imperial capital - these Yis people who were just hunted down by the Black Sword Knights are definitely not going there.
, then they can only continue to go north - regardless of how these people plan to cross the land full of black sword knights, assuming they can succeed - if they go further north, they will be the army of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"To the west, you can go to Xiongshi Ling. Beyond Xiongshi Ling is a relatively stable area. To the east, you can find a flight to Ys. Although you may not be able to successfully take the airship during this period, at least it is a
A safe road," Cam looked at Charlemagne and Evanna, "and to the north, apart from the Black Sword Knights, there is only Her Royal Highness the Princess's legion. I think what you are looking for is not the ones who have been chasing you just now.
Guy?"
Charlemagne pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Now that we have said this, there is no need for us to continue to hide it - we are indeed going to find Her Highness Constance, and we know very well what she is doing and what she is wearing.
What does it mean to cross the blockade of several armies of the empire?"
The expression on Kaim's face became serious: "Please understand my vigilance, but in this period, a group of Yis people and four mysterious people from the hidden organization are going to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. This needs a reason. I think...
...You guys are not just simple travelers, right?"
Charlemagne thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth - he had concealed his identity from Cam when he first woke up. That was because a Broken Sword Knight who died inexplicably in the black pine forest was so weird that he couldn't help it.
He was not cautious, but now he has confirmed the cause and effect of Cam's coming here. What the other party said can be corroborated with the information obtained a few days ago. In addition, he knows that there is a Gorgon demon haunting the black pine forest.
If you want to move forward, you have to cooperate with others, and in this case, you have to be honest with each other.
But he still remembered who the real leader of this team was, so he asked Hao Ren standing next to him with his eyes: Can he trust this knight?
Hao Ren noticed Charlemagne's eyes, so he smiled and responded with confusion - holy shit, he couldn't understand what a handsome guy with a handsomeness of 0.93 Nangong Sanba meant when he was ogling him! I'm afraid this guy is not.
Want to come up with any bold ideas?
Eye contact for two hundred words can only happen within Hao Ren's team, at least unilaterally on Hao Ren's side.
But fortunately, Leah, who was well-informed, guessed what Charlemagne meant. She waved her hands indifferently: "You can say whatever you want, we don't care."
Charlemagne calmed down. He knew that this little girl had an incredible say in Hao Ren's team, so he turned to Cam with relief and said: "Please forgive us for not telling the truth at the beginning. In fact, my sister and I
yes……"
"The secret envoy of the ancient country of Ys?" After listening to Charlemagne's story, Keim couldn't help but frown, "I can understand your caution at the beginning, but how can I trust you?"
"We did some disguises, but we have something else to prove our identity." Charlemagne said as he took out a magic amulet he had been wearing from his personal body. He activated the amulet and attached it to himself.
On his forehead, the next moment, some complex and mysterious lines that looked like luminous tattoos appeared on his arms and cheeks.
Evana next to her also made the same move, and similar magic lines appeared on her body.
"It's the bloodline coat of arms of the Ys royal family." Kaim dismissed his doubts after seeing these marks, and then he caressed his chest and bent down to the two people in front of him, and performed a knight's salute. "It is indeed your two highnesses. They have been rude before.
Already."
"Don't worry about this," Charlemagne immediately waved his hand. "The important thing is that we must get to Princess Constance as soon as possible. Our mission is on an extremely important mission and must not be delayed."
The expression on Kaim's face became serious. He did not ask what the "mission" was, but said bluntly: "It's okay to go to the north, but we must find a way to get rid of or bypass the Gorgon Demon.
I want to remind you that it is a lord-level guy, classified as a 'nest mother'. It will split a large number of schizoites from its body to monitor its territory, so it actually controls a quite large area. We need to
It will be very difficult to bypass it, and there is a great chance of being discovered directly. As for the strength of that guy... Several powerful Broken Sword Knights are no match for that lord. If you only have these people, go to the north.
It can only be a joke."
As he spoke, the Knight of the Broken Sword swept his eyes over the fully armed guards - of course he could tell that these people were veterans who had experienced many battles, and they were by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers. The best among them were
I'm afraid it's not weaker than the Black Sword Knight, but if it wants to challenge a lord-level Gorgon, its combat power is a bit weak.
Soldiers who are accustomed to charging into battle certainly don't want to be looked down upon, but to be chosen as the escort for this secret mission, these soldiers must have been carefully selected not only for their strength, but also for their character. Naturally, they will not be chosen like this.
They lost their cool in the situation, and they also understood that the other party was not humiliating, but stating the facts, so each of them could only choose to shut up with reluctance.
But Hao Ren felt that this was not a problem at all: "Ahem, have you forgotten about us? If you are worried about combat effectiveness, we have enough here."
"You?" Cam was stunned for a moment, looking at Hao Ren and his party a little suspiciously. He had just classified these four unarmed people as non-combatants.
"Yes, we are the main fighting force," Hao Ren nodded matter-of-factly, and then pointed at himself and his teammates, "We are beating up the Black Sword Knight for fun, this long-range one is invincible in seconds, this one is invincible in close combat,
Of course the most powerful thing is this, she is the best among us..."
Lia, who was pointed out, crossed her arms and showed a look of a master.
Cam: "..."
"It's true," Charlemagne said next to him, "Don't draw conclusions based on appearances. In fact, they were the ones resolving the crisis along the way. My guards and I are ashamed to say that... They were mainly responsible for shouting "come on."
"
A group of personal guards turned their heads and looked elsewhere.
Seeing that there was still some hesitation and doubt on Cam's face, Lily couldn't help but said: "If you don't believe me, you can practice with me. What you say is not as reliable as what you have personally verified, right?"
Although the Knight of the Broken Sword still had some doubts, the situation in front of him did not allow him to make any choice. After being pushed to the ground and beaten by Lily, he decided to believe what Hao Ren and Charlemagne said.
After taking a short rest in the ruins of the Lost Kingdom, the team returned to the three magic vehicles. After bypassing the untravelable areas in the ruins, the group headed towards the north of the black pine forest.
But this comfortable journey by car did not last long, because after walking further north for a while, the road in the forest was cut off.
Although in that confusing black pine forest, travelers can always follow the forest road to the exit of the forest in any direction, but in this black pine forest where the false fog has faded away, leaving only the true appearance, the forest road
It is not well connected in all directions, especially if Hao Ren and his party plan to choose the shortest route directly through the northern forest, they will have to fight through thorns in the dense forest in the second half of the journey.
However, this is not a problem for a team with outstanding combat power, and the weakest member is also a veteran of hundreds of battles in both magic and martial arts. Apart from being less stable than sitting in a car, walking through the forest will not make them faster.
Lowered too much.
During the tedious journey, Hao Ren approached Kaim, who had rarely spoken since the beginning of the journey: "I have a question I want to ask you..."
"Tell me." Cam said concisely.
"Did you say before that those black sword knights have lost their minds? What is going on?"
"Literally," after Charlemagne explained his identity and Hao Ren and his party confirmed their purpose of going north to meet Princess Constance, Keim spoke more frankly than before, "those once glorious warriors have become distorted.
, an evil force distorts their original loyalty and bravery into a more fanatical and dangerous tendency, but this distortion is extremely insidious, because at this stage, few people will realize that their rational part is actually no longer
Humanity.”
"Indeed - we have dealt with the Black Sword Knights at close range, but they behaved just like normal people. Oh, except for their faces."
"Have you seen the appearance of the Black Sword Knight after it has been eroded?" Cam was slightly surprised, then relieved, "Indeed, with your strength, even if you are chased by the Black Sword Knight, it will not be difficult to kill a few of them.
. Indeed, as you said, the madness of the Black Sword Knights is still hidden at present. They will disguise themselves with words and deeds that appear to be normal on the surface, but their hearts have actually fallen into chaos. That kind of polluted appearance is
Proof.”
"Listening to what you mean... In fact, it won't take long before the problems of those Black Sword Knights will be exposed to ordinary people, right?" Hao Ren frowned, "I'm afraid most of the people in the empire will be exposed at that time.
Will they all stand by the princess?"
"Before that day, the corrupted Black Sword Knight was enough to drag this world into catastrophe," Kaim said in a serious tone, "And we... took action in order to avoid this disaster in advance before that day comes.
of."
"Ah, it seems that this is indeed a quite just reason," Hao Ren nodded, "But there is one thing I don't quite understand... what led to the corruption of those black sword knights? Could it be... that it was really you?
Those with dragon souls..."
"The only one who can influence the Black Sword Knights is His Majesty Berrentine." Cam confirmed Hao Ren's statement sideways.
At this moment, a burning smell that filled the air suddenly drifted into Hao Ren's nostrils.
Kaim raised his hand: "Everyone, be careful, we are already approaching the territory of the Gorgon Demon."
