Bishop McKinley's words made all the gazes that were originally looking at the Marquis of Mumford withdrawn. Although the 1.5 meritorious service is tempting, but with the Marquis of Mumford in front, those who are not as strong as the Marquis of Mumford will naturally not come back. Accept the task.
Therefore, all the nobles in the entire conference hall set their sights on the few dukes who were stronger than the Marquis of Mumford.
"If no one picks up, I will pick it up!" In a dull voice, Duke Bertram stood up and said.
The Duke of Bertram himself is a sky knight, and he has three sky knights by his side, and he is also one of the strongest in the entire conference hall.
"The blood of the red ox really represents bravery!" Bishop McKinley smiled and bowed to Duke Bertram in praise.
Praising the bloodline is definitely the most sincere praise, and the bloodline of the red ox deserves this kind of praise. The Duke of Bertram has taken the lead countless times and charged forward, and only then has the current Duke family.
"I will personally take the family knights there, please arrange a flying boat!" Duke Bertram asked Bishop McKinley in a deep voice.
"Duke Bertram, I will arrange it myself, please come with me!" Bishop McKinley said with a salute.
The Duke of Bertram left the conference hall with the three sky knights led by Bishop McKinley, and the conference hall immediately became noisy.
"With the Duke of Bertram going there in person, there will be no more problems with this mission!"
"The first mission is so difficult, I'm afraid the recruitment this time will be very troublesome!"
"I just hope that I will never be asked to take on the mission. I only brought six earth knights with me, and I will die if I go there!"
Words of hope, pessimism, or helplessness were spoken by the nobles.
The Marquis of Mumford stood up and left the meeting hall shaking. Even if he lost two sky knights, he would not be able to leave here during the call-up period.
All he can do is to contact the family as soon as possible and take countermeasures.
David is like a bystander, observing the real aristocratic circle in the great world of God.
In the next thirty hours, the gatherings of the nobles were significantly less, and it was almost unrealistic to prevent these nobles from gathering at all.
The 'spaceship' that Duke Bertram rides on belongs to the Temple of War. It may not be as comfortable as the lord's car, but its speed is not inferior to any 'spaceship' at all.
The 'spaceship' is operated by two third-level priests. Since it only has a 30-hour voyage, there are no other service personnel on the spaceship, and all diets depend on the food in their respective space items.
"Duke Bertram, there is Lumber star ahead, please prepare!" The third-level priest parked the 'spaceship' in space and turned to Duke Bertram.
The Duke of Bertram nodded. He had already seen the planet in front of him. The unique green surface of the agricultural planet could be clearly seen from space.
"Equip!" Duke Bertram ordered in a deep voice.
The three sky knights then put on the third-level knight armor, took out the survival disk and connected it.
The Duke of Bertram was also ready. When the four sky knights flew to the 'spaceship', they summoned their flying mounts at the same time.
Although the environment in space, the flying talent of the flying mount cannot be used, but as long as it is trained in the space environment, the flying mount can still maintain high-speed movement in space.
Of course, this kind of training is not something ordinary aristocrats can do. At least a 'spaceship' and corresponding space training methods are required.
The Duke of Bertram was flying in front, and the three sky knights behind him maintained the best distance for the knights' battle formation, forming a diamond shape and flying towards Lumber Star.
"Stop!" Just as the Duke of Bertram was approaching the atmosphere of Star Lumbus, he ordered with the power of his blood vibration.
The fast-flying diamond-shaped formation suddenly stopped in space, and stopped firmly in place. The gravitational force of Lumber Star could already be felt here, and the four flying mounts kept flapping their wings, keeping relatively still.
"Is there any feeling?" Duke Bertram turned his head and asked.
Every sky knight has an extraordinary sense of danger. Although the Duke of Bertram has the blood of the red ox known as brave, he is extremely cautious.
From the moment he got close to the Lumb star, he decided to conduct a steady exploration step by step.
"No induction!" The three sky knights shook their heads in unison.
"Go on!" said the Duke of Bertram, waving his hand.
Just as the four sky knights entered the atmosphere, the Duke of Bertram felt like a bug entering a spider's web. In fact, it was almost the same. The sky above the atmosphere was completely covered by an invisible fine web.
Even the sky knights couldn't sense this kind of thin net, so the four sky knights just ran into it head-on.
The Duke of Bertram did not panic. He calmly took out the fourth-grade epee from the space ring. Due to the dense mesh, his room for movement was limited, so he could only swing the fourth-grade epee in a small range first. Break the gap.
Unexpectedly, the fourth-grade epee swept across the filaments as if they were passing through the air, and the filaments seemed to be intangible.
But the body of the Duke of Bertram told him very accurately that the fine net was wrapping around him.
This kind of fine net seems to only have an effect on the living body, and it is illusory to other entities.
The Duke of Bertram mobilized the power of the blood in his body, which is also the most trusted power of the knights. The power of the blood poured into the fourth-grade epee, and an almost frozen white appeared on the fourth-grade epee.
He swung the fourth-grade epee again, and he felt a little resistance where the epee passed. This made him happy, it had an effect.
His joy only lasted for a second, and the severed fine nets were connected together again at the moment of cutting. These fine nets seemed to contain water substances. If you cut the water body with a sword, the water will automatically restore the connection state, no matter how sharp it is. All swords are like this.
This is also because the level of the Duke of Bertram is a bit low, and it is difficult for a fourth-level sky knight to understand this level of magic.
Gladstone, the god of plague, made a protective net covering Lumbus just to slow down the temple's entry into Lumbus.
This kind of protective net that is scattered to protect the entire Lumber star is far from enough for the fifth-level blockade. Any fifth-level Templar can forcibly rush out of a passage to enter the Lumber star.
But there are not many fifth-level Templars acting together. Gladstone, the god of plague, believes that no fifth-level Templar dares to venture into Lumbus alone, and it takes a lot of time to gather a large number of fifth-level Templars. Give the plague god Gladstone a chance to buffer.
"Duke Bertram, I will open a passage for you!" The sky knight in the rear said in a deep voice.
Without waiting for the Duke of Bertram to respond, the sky knight let go of his heart sea space, and the blood power from the heart sea space gushed out wildly, forming the phantom of a huge red bull on his body.
This is the special ability of the red ox blood, but this sky knight mobilized all the power of his blood at once to display the strongest red ox dash.
In the air, the skin inside the sky knight's third-level knight's armor was cracked inch by inch. Not only the skin, but also his muscles and bones were all broken due to the forced mobilization of the blood force that exceeded his ability to bear.
But before his body collapsed, he activated the special ability of the bloodline, the red bull rush, and his body turned into a mad bull with a red tail, rushing towards the opposite direction of Lumbus star.
Behind the sky knight using the red bull to charge, a gap was opened in the thin net.
The Duke of Bertram and the other two sky knights had no time to mourn for the sacrifices of their companions. They could only continuously increase their speed to keep up with the sky knights in front of them before the fine net closed.
Ten meters, just ten meters later, the passage opened by Sky Knight at a huge price was blocked again.
The weak sky knight found that he couldn't protect himself due to the power of blood, the fine net touched his skin, and traces of black mist rose from his body.
"Duke Bertram, this thin net is highly poisonous, be careful!" Sky Knight said with the last of his blood force, the poison soon spread to his whole body.
The Duke of Bertram clenched his teeth and suppressed the grief in his heart.
The surrounding fine nets are highly poisonous, and the skin cannot be approached. However, if the sky knight fully uses the power of the blood, it is bound to lose the power of the blood to protect the body, and that is the result of death.
"Duke Bertram, follow up!" The sky knight on the left said without any hesitation, mobilizing the power of his blood.
Like the previous sky knight, he frantically mobilized the blood power in the heart sea space, regardless of whether his body could bear it, just for an instant burst.
Another mad cow with a fluttering red tail appeared. The special ability of the red bull's bloodline collision exerted a terrifying effect under the supply of strong bloodline power.
The Duke of Bertram followed behind the sky knight in front of him in the red tail, this time still ten meters away.
"Duke Bertram, it's my turn, the family needs you!" The sky knight on the right mobilized the power of his blood while talking.
The eyes of the Duke of Bertram were red, and his vision was completely red. He could no longer tell whether it was the blood in his eyes or the blood of his fellow clan.
The remaining distance was still twelve meters away, and the red bull impact triggered by Sky Knight still reached ten meters. Just as he was about to slow down, Sky Knight punched himself in the heart.
With this punch, Sky Knight smashed his heart space and heart together, and the remaining blood power in the heart space made his red bull rush forward three meters.
The Duke of Bertram felt that the fine net in front of him disappeared. He left the range of the fine net and drove the flying mount under him. Before he left, he took away the body of the last sky knight.
Not only did the sky knight's heart burst, but his body was also contaminated with poison, and his life had long since ended.
But this is also the only corpse of his companion that the Duke of Bertram can bring back, and the remaining two corpses of his companions are wrapped in fine mesh not far away.
What made Duke Bertram even more unacceptable was that the corpses of the two companions were slowly descending towards the ground of Star Lumbus with the movement of the fine net.
Duke Bertram no longer looked at the corpses of his two companions, he drove his flying mount towards the 'spaceship' in the Temple of War.
The hatch of the 'Spaceship' opened, and the Duke of Bertram walked into the cabin.
The two third-level priests looked at Duke Bertram, who was covered in blood, and didn't know what to say for a while. They were far away and didn't see what happened, but they could tell from the appearance of Duke Bertram Something must have happened.
"Return immediately!" Duke Bertram ordered in a deep voice.
"Duke Bertram, is the mission complete?" A third-level priest asked aloud.
It's not that the third-level priests deliberately made things difficult, but that they need to report the results to Bishop McKinley immediately.
"I said return immediately!" Duke Bertram's voice was full of murderous intent, causing the temperature in the cabin to drop a few degrees, and the two third-level priests shivered in unison.
Sensing the murderous intent that seemed to overflow from the Duke of Bertram, the two third-level priests looked at each other, and without saying anything, they drove the 'spaceship' towards Kailian Star.
Bishop McKinley in Kailian Star looked at the four life cards in front of him. The life indicators on three of the life cards had been extinguished, and only the life card of Duke Bertram was still normal.
Bishop McKinley harbored a glimmer of hope that the Duke of Bertram might accomplish his task.
But he also knew that the loss of the Duke of Bertram this time would make it difficult to release the next mission. Anyone with a little sense would know that even the Duke of Bertram, the most powerful among the ninety-nine recruited nobles The existence of this is the result, how will other nobles complete the task, and what price will be paid to complete the task.
But Bishop McKinley had no choice. Several major temples joined forces this time, and their group of recruited nobles was just a vanguard.
The role of the Pioneer is to obtain the situation on the Lumb star, and it is even better to build a temporary portal on the Lumb star.
Bishop McKinley needs to comfort all the recruited nobles. At the same time, he also needs to recruit nobles to complete the tasks assigned by the temple. This task is currently too difficult.
Bishop McKinley was staring at Duke Bertram's life card, worried about the sudden death of Duke Bertram, while looking at another pattern circle, which is the manipulation circle of the remote detection circle. After the arrangement is completed, the signal can be received here for investigation.
But time passed little by little, ten hours, twenty hours, thirty hours, and Bishop McKinley never rested.
Just as Bishop McKinley couldn't bear it any longer, he told the priest on the side to take over, and when he was about to rest, a priest ran in quickly.
"Bishop McKinley, hurry up and take a look, the Duke of Bertram has returned in a 'spaceship'!" The priest hurriedly reported without even basic etiquette.
Normally, Bishop McKinley would give a severe lesson to this kind of disrespectful behavior, but today he was suddenly taken aback.
"What? The Duke of Bertram has returned?" There was disbelief in his voice, and even anger. He stayed here for so long, and this was the result.
