Hearing Vivienne's words, Broken Sword Knight Kaim blinked his eyes for a moment, and then asked with a strange look: "Are you also...going to the north?"
It's normal for him to have such a strange look in his eyes.
At this moment, the Dragon Empire is in chaos. The mutual attack of the Imperial Corps, the Black Sword Knights, the Broken Sword Knights, and the Northern Legion is a far more serious crisis than this country singled out half of the world. Under such circumstances, anyone with a normal mind would make the decision to stay away from the vortex, let alone a group of Yisu people from the other side of the world who were hunted down by the black sword knights just now
What's beyond the black pine forest to the north? First of all, the hinterland of the empire under the control of the Black Sword Knights, and then the capital of the empire—these Yisu people who have just been hunted down by the Black Sword Knights must not be heading there, so they can only continue to the 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, it will be Her Royal Highness's army.
"To the west, you can go to Xiongshiling. Crossing Xiongshiling is a relatively stable area. To the east, you can find a flight to Yisu—although you may not be able to take the airship smoothly during this period, but at least it is a safe route. "Cam looked at Charlemagne and Evanna, "and to the north, apart from the Black Sword Knights, there is only Her Royal Highness's legion. I don't think what you are looking for is the ones who chased you just now. guy?"
Charlemagne pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Since we have already said this, there is no need for us to continue to hide—we are indeed going to find Her Highness Constance, and we know exactly what she is doing and what she has passed through. What does the blockade of the empire's major legions mean?"
The expression on Kaim's face became serious: "Please understand my vigilance, but at this time, a group of Yisu people and four mysterious people from the hidden world organization are going to meet the princess, which needs a reason. I think... You should not be some simple travelers, right?"
Charlemagne thought for a moment, and decided to tell the truth—he had concealed his identity from Cam when he just woke up, because a knight with the Broken Sword who passed out inexplicably in the black pine forest was strange everywhere, and he had to Be cautious, but now he has confirmed the cause and effect of Kaim's coming here. What the other party said and the information he got a few days ago can be mutually confirmed. If you want to move forward, you have to cooperate with people, 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 who was standing beside him with his eyes: Can I trust this knight
Hao Ren noticed the look in Charlemagne's eyes, so he smiled back in bewilderment—what the hell does it mean when a handsome guy with a handsome 0.93 Nangong Sanba winks at him! I'm afraid this little brother wants to come up with some bold ideas
A two-hundred-word eye contact can only happen within Hao Ren's team, at least on Hao Ren's side.
But fortunately, the well-informed Leah guessed what Charlemagne meant, and she waved her hands indifferently: "You can say it if you want, and we don't care."
Charlemagne settled down. He knew that this little girl had an incredible right to speak in Hao Ren's team, so he turned to Kaim with confidence and said, "Please forgive us for not telling the truth at the beginning. In fact, my sister and I yes… "
"Secret envoy from the ancient country of Ysu?" After hearing Charlemagne's narration, Kaim couldn't help frowning, "I can understand your initial caution, but how can I trust you?"
"We did some cross-dressing, but we have other things to prove our identity." Charlemagne said as he took out a magic amulet that he had been wearing all the time from his closet. He activated the amulet and stuck it on himself On his forehead, in the next moment, some complex and mysterious lines that looked like glowing tattoos emerged on his arms and cheeks.
Aiwenna next to her also made the same move, and similar magical lines appeared on her body.
"It's the bloodline coat of arms of the Yisu royal family," Kaim dispelled his doubts after seeing these marks, and then bowed his chest to the two in front of him, and performed a knightly salute, "It really is the two highnesses, I was so rude before. gone."
"Don't pay attention to this," Charlemagne waved his hand immediately, "The important thing is that we must rush to Princess Constance as soon as possible. Our mission this time carries an extremely important mission, so we must not delay it."
The expression on Kaim's face became serious, he didn't ask what the "mission" was, but said bluntly: "It's okay to go to the north, but we have to find a way to get rid of or bypass that Gorgon demon. Let me remind you that it is a lord-level guy, classified as a 'Nest Mother', and it will split a large number of split organisms from its body to monitor its own territory, so it actually controls quite a large area, we have 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 the lord. If you only have these people, you only need to go north. Could be a joke."
As he spoke, the Knight of the Broken Sword glanced over the heavily armed guards - he could of course see that these people were veterans who had experienced many battles, and they were by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers. Not weaker than the Black Sword Knight, but to challenge a lord-level Gorgon, this combat power is indeed a bit weak.
Of course, soldiers who are used to charging into battle do not want to be underestimated, but to be selected as the guards of this secret mission, these fighters must have been carefully selected not only for their strength, but also for their personality. They lost their composure 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 unwillingness.
But Hao Ren felt that this was not a problem at all: "Ahem, have you forgotten us? If you are worried about combat effectiveness, we have no shortage here."
"You?" Kaim was stunned for a moment, looking suspiciously at Hao Ren and his party. He had just listed these four unarmed people as non-combatants.
"That's right, we are the main combat power," Hao Ren nodded of course, and then pointed at himself and his teammates, "It's like playing with the Black Sword Knight. The long-distance is second-to-none, and the melee is invincible. Of course the most powerful is this, she is the best among us... "
Leah, who was pointed at, crossed her arms and showed an expression of an outsider.
Cam: "..."
"It's true," said Charlemagne next to him. "Don't draw conclusions from appearances. In fact, they are all solving the crisis along the way. My guards and I are ashamed to say it... mainly responsible for cheering."
A group of pro-guards turned their heads to look elsewhere.
Seeing the hesitation and suspicion on Cam's face, Lily couldn't help but said: "If you don't believe me, you can practice with me. What you say by mouth is not as reliable as your own verification."
Although the Broken Sword Knight still had some doubts, the situation in front of him did not allow him to make more choices. After being beaten by Lily on the ground, he decided to believe what Hao Ren and Charlemagne said.
After a short rest in the ruins of the lost kingdom, the team returned to the three magic vehicles. After bypassing the impassable section in the ruins, the group headed north to the black pine forest.
But this comfortable journey by car did not last long, because after continuing to the north for a while, the road in the forest was cut off.
Although in the confusing black pine forest, travelers can always follow the road in the forest to the exit of the forest in any direction, but in this black pine forest that has faded away from the false fog and only the real face remains, the road in the forest It was not well connected, especially when Hao Ren and his party planned to choose the shortest route to go directly through the northern woodland, they would have to fight through 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 both magic and martial arts. Besides sitting in the car, walking through the forest will not slow down their speed. Lowered too much.
During the dull rush, Hao Ren approached Kaim, who had seldom spoken since the start of the journey: "I have a question to ask you..."
"Speak." Cam said succinctly.
"Did you say that those black sword knights lost their minds? What's going on here?"
"Literally," after Charlemagne explained his identity and Hao Ren and his party confirmed the purpose of going to the north to meet Princess Constance, Kaim spoke more frankly than before, "those once glorious warriors have 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 not Humanity."
"Indeed—we've had close encounters with the Black Sword Knights, but they behaved like normal people. Oh, except for their faces."
"Have you seen the appearance of the black sword knight after being eroded?" Kaim was slightly surprised, and then he was relieved, "it is true, with your strength, even if you are chased by the black sword knight, it is not difficult to kill a few It is true that 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 normal on the surface, but their inner beings have actually fallen into chaos. That kind of polluted appearance is proof."
"Listen to what you said inside and outside the meaning... In fact, it won't be long before the problems of those black sword knights will be exposed to ordinary people, right?" Hao Ren frowned, "At that time, most people in the empire will probably know Stand by the princess' side?"
"Before then, the corrupted Black Sword Knight is enough to bring this world into disaster," Kaim said with a heavy tone, "and we... are acting in order to avoid this disaster before that day comes .”
"Ah, it seems that this is indeed a fairly righteous reason," Hao Ren nodded, "But I don't quite understand...what caused the corruption of those black sword knights? Could it be...it's really your dragon-owning one. Soul's..."
"The only one who can affect the Black Sword Knights is His Majesty Berentine." Kaim was affirming Hao Ren's statement from the side.
And at this moment, a burnt smell that permeated the air suddenly floated into Hao Ren's nostrils.
Kaim raised his hand: "Everyone, be careful, we are already close to the territory of that Gorgon demon."
