"Sealed Artifact: Bloodthorn (special weapon for knights).

"Description: This is a special lance wrapped in thick blood and double-sealed. Both the blade and the lance are crystal clear blood or lavender, sharp and tough, very suitable for cavalry use. The end of the lance Bound with a black rope. The magic power of the master and the blood thorns in a small area will not be imprisoned by magic, blood interference and other obstacles.

"Special effect: spell breaking. Activating the spell breaking feature of the blood thorn will severely damage the target's mind, and even disrupt the will and spirit of enemies within a certain range, making them unable to concentrate, cast spells or maintain magic power. This special effect needs to absorb blood to Activated, the pain, blood and madness on the corpse-strewn battlefield will make it more powerful. The activation interval of the spell-breaking special effects should not be less than 15 minutes.

"Special effect: Blood front. Once the blood thorn is activated, the life and soul energy diffused by each enemy killed by the master will be absorbed by the master, strengthening its lethality (about 5%), slightly healing the wound and restoring Stamina, lasts 30 minutes, can stack up to 10 layers.

"Special effect: toughness. The peculiar structure and exquisite craftsmanship endow the blood thorns with unimaginable toughness, reducing the counter-injury suffered by the master when hitting the target, the weapon body will not be broken, and there is a high probability of hitting the target.

"Special effects: Exquisite. The unique lance structure and perfect weapon balance take into account various attack methods such as piercing, slashing, and projection, and even range attacks.

"Special effect: armor breaking. In the hands of skilled masters, there is a certain chance to penetrate heavy armor or even dragon scales.

"Remarks: The source of this terrifying weapon is unknown. The Soul of the Tool refused our communication and killed many testers. There are still some powerful abilities that have not been detected. Before the battle, the black rope must be unwound to release the first blood thorn. A layer of seal, otherwise the Bloodthorn will just be a sharp and easily damaged spear.

"Negative effect: After the seal is lifted, the lance must be soaked in blood or killed every 24 hours, otherwise it will lead to the rapid loss of the master's vitality and mental power. The master will hear strange sounds."

"I heard the whisper, this Sealed Artifact seems to be calling you," Arendelle came to Griffith, raised her head and looked into his eyes, and said softly, "It seems to be among the Extraordinary gathered nearby. , only you can use this type of weapon. If you need it, this Sealed Artifact can be lent to you."

Griffith's eyes could barely be taken from the blood thorns.

The looming whispers seemed to be in my ears.This weapon is beckoning itself.

With this power, can I stop all this and change Iloti's fate?

Well, at least it can destroy the cultists' control of Iloti.As long as I have this powerful Sealed Artifact, coupled with the warhorse and breastplate, I can exert all my power.

Yes, I can fight even against a Sequence 7 or even a Sequence 6 powerhouse!Even the overwhelming mutant creatures can pierce them!
"Please prepare a war horse, a real war horse. The horse needs to have a vest that protects the torso." Griffith looked at Arendelle's eyes and said seriously.

"As your Excellency wishes." The glamorous daughter elegantly lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed her knees to the ordinary apprentice knight.

"So many people, how are you going to evacuate?" Griffith thought for a while, then asked, "The mutated infected will kill all living things."

"Let me evacuate. Although the families of Hepu are not good at fighting, they can play a role. They will build a multi-layered defense line with the army and other guards. You just need to help them buy a little time. The girl led Griffith to the door. "If you want to get close to Iloti, you must first clean up the monsters and cultists that are trying to control her near Iloti. When you get close to her, be sure to clean up as much as possible." Hurry up. Do you have an echo crystal? We can contact you within a certain range."

At the door of the memorial committee, some locals have already acted.

A man bowed respectfully to Griffith, leading a pack horse with a saddle full of bows, axes and other weapons.

"Hello, Mr. Apprentice Knight, I'm Salles, Miss Arendelle's faithful servant. In the next battle, I will provide you with materials and intelligence assistance to the best of my ability."

"The City Defence Force and other reinforcements have deployed multiple lines of defense on the Queen's only path, and they will delay as long as possible to protect the refugees. Please support them.

"After three hours at the latest, please come back here, we can prepare the breastplate, war horse and activated sealed artifact for you."

Salas handed over the reins in his hand:

"The prepared war horse is the third-generation war horse bred by the ranch on this island. It is firm and obedient, with excellent endurance and sprinting. You can ride for a short march and then immediately engage in charge combat. A single charge can last for about 2 minutes. If you control it Horsepower can be used for multiple short-duration charges."

……

The tourists and residents participating in the memorial ceremony are densely packed like sesame seeds on a cookie, all over the road and pavilions from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.In some places with particularly beautiful scenery, it is even more crowded.

They did not see the terrifying vision of the ashes in the sky, and they were unaware of the changes in their bodies and the horrors to come.

There is no need to evacuate the hidden infected people of this scale, and they can only be kept away from the Iloti that will bring mutation as much as possible.

But how?

Once a mass panic occurs in such a place, trampling on one another will bring hundreds of casualties, not to mention that the chaotic crowd cannot find a way to escape. If they flee to Hepu Town, they will run into a runaway accident. The Iloti, and then were infected with the mutation together.

If, in case, the worst happens, can I choose between Iloti and these strangers?Griffith walked in front of the child pulling the corner of his parents' clothes, and the lover holding hands.The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he had to think about the worst.

"Everyone, please note that guests born in January are invited to come to the altar on the top of the mountain. The Hanami Festival has prepared unique birthday gifts for guests born in January."

Many luminous crystals arranged on both sides of the mountain road suddenly trembled, and a soft and sweet female voice came out.The voice did not come from Arendelle, but it was also very pleasant to the ear.

The crowd moved immediately, and many tourists walked towards the top of the mountain.Even those who don't have birthdays in January, many headed to the top of the mountain to try their luck or join in the fun.

"Please come to the Nanshan Pavilion for the guests with children. We have prepared special activities for the children..."

Just as Griffith was thinking, another voice came from the crystal.The guests who were still regretting their birthdays just now became interested again.

The slow-moving crowds flowed like melted snow, one flocked to the top of the mountain, and the other headed towards Nanshan.As soon as they got there, several men and women wearing the armbands of the Hepu Town Memorial Committee greeted them and led them across the trail towards the back mountain.

What a great way!In a peaceful order, tens of thousands of tourists took action and diverted to different roads.Griffith admired in his heart, and then walked towards the gentle slope down the mountain.

Arendelle's butler put some weapons on the pack horse and followed Griffith down the hill.The number and ability of the enemy in this battle are all unknown, and the power to contain and protect Iloti must be reserved, so it is necessary to save physical strength as much as possible.

"We found that the Queen's approach to ordinary people is unstoppable, but her remaining will is still trying to resist her control, stopping every so often," Salles said in an unwavering tone. "Mr. Apprentice Knight, the cultists deployed some rituals to strengthen the Queen's mind control. You only need to concentrate on destroying one ritual to create a chance to connect with Miss Iloti. Don't attack in haste."

"Okay, I see," Griffith nodded, and then added, "Iloti may still have a chance for treatment, so protect her."

"We don't know anything about the characteristics of infecting her, and the possibility of being rescued is less than [-]%. We can only do our best." Salees said calmly, not in the slightest ignoring the thoughts of the knight.

So low... Griffith's heart thumped, as if something shattered.He gritted his teeth and tried his best to support his body and mind.

"Look, the first wave of enemies is coming." Salees suddenly raised his finger and pointed down the mountain.

A small black dot appeared on the far corner of the street.As the distance approached, Griffith took the telescopes handed by Sales and saw their shapes clearly.

These creatures maintain human form, staggering, twisted and broken.As the footsteps moved, pieces of debris were falling from their bodies.

The city defense army has already formed a formation at the entrance of the mountain, receiving the residents fleeing from all sides and protecting them to run up the mountain.

At the entrance to the block further outside, a group of teenage soldiers occupied the houses on both sides and erected barricades on the road.

"Westeros, prepare to fight!" Sergeant Oscar's voice could be heard in the distance.He is giving instructions.The juvenile soldiers who had set up roadblocks at the intersection took up their weapons and formed a battle formation behind the roadblocks.

Thirty young soldiers lined up holding spears and shields, and another 30 raised their crossbows and aimed at the front through the gap.Behind them, the stronger boy soldiers armed with short swords, hatchets and shields.All have no armor.

Griffith froze for a moment, mobilizing his inspiration to scan the squadron.All the young soldiers have more or less blood in their bodies, but what is certain is that there is no Beyonder-level powerhouse among them, not even Oscar.

"Sergeant, how are you going to fight?" Griffith came to the young soldier and asked.

He had never seen the way Westeros special forces fought.On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, this mysterious force is like a legend, always appearing without warning and fighting with strange enemies, and disappearing quickly after the battle is over.
