Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 338 Introspection
Above the open space, there was a dead silence.

The soldiers stared at the body of the monster lying on the mud, their eyes widened. After a long time, there was a sound of swallowing saliva.

"Petrochemical... monitor lizard." People with knowledge have already identified its identity.

This is obviously the corpse of a monitor lizard, strong and long, its giant yellow eyes are bigger than a fist, and its dark green scales undoubtedly have a strong defensive power, and the wound that ended its life is in the abdomen - it is a long The long sword wound remained on the soft white belly without any twist.

Both sides of its neck were dug open, leaving a large area, and the membrane outside the neck was cut clean.

"Going forward, I don't want to hear that anyone is scared or deterred."

The moment the young man's clear voice sounded, everyone turned their gazes to him in unison, and the latter was expressionless, as if what was thrown was not a vicious petrified giant lizard, but a doll.

"Now you are nothing but Siliki's city defense army."

"But in the near future, you will be the most elite troops coming out of Amasir. What you will face are skeletons, zombies, ghosts, vampires, abominations, liches, and terrifying knights."

"Even a bone dragon."

"If you will be scared because of some rumors, then you are not even qualified to face those things."

Elena looked at Cyril quietly, listening to his words, a smile appeared on her face.

She was one of the few people who was not frightened by the rumor, but it was based on her trust in Cyril——

Among the people present, no one knew better than her the journey this young man had traveled. He had traveled a long way to the beginning of the story, but his gaze had always been set further afield.

She didn't know where this inexplicable sense of mission came from, but at this moment, she was his bodyguard, and all she had to do was draw his sword when he needed it.

She jumped off the horse, tied the horse aside, and then walked up to Cyril.

And followed by Rod Sergey.The rest of the soldiers hesitated for a while, but finally chose to follow.

"Now, follow me."

Cyril turned around, stepped into the mist again, and walked at the forefront of the team.

The muddy road made it difficult for the soldiers in light armor to move forward, but no one was talking nonsense at the moment.Valk lowered his head and walked steadily forward step by step. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced around and saw the bodies of the petrified monitor lizards half sunk in the mud.

The journey without any battles had a different kind of torment for the soldiers. The dampness of the fog, the heaviness brought by the mud, and the sound of the gurgling water were white noise that made people frantic, making their eyes sweep over every animal. When they saw the monitor lizard's corpse, they all felt a stabbing pain in their hearts.

The "rumors" they spread are lying not far from them at the moment, and the existence they fear has long been killed by someone——

They actually felt timid before facing the enemy, and they already had the idea of ​​asking for help.

This kind of self-examination is expanding in every soldier's heart—perhaps only those Amasir halberd soldiers who have seen Cyril's strength can maintain a normal state of mind.

They have all come here through hardships. They are naturally more sensitive about what an honor it is to climb up to the new lord and become the first batch of soldiers he values.And they actually almost made the lord lose hope in them because of some insignificant things——

They moved forward in silence. At first, some people silently counted the corpses of the monitor lizards, but it didn't take long for everyone to concentrate on every step they took.

Until the figure walking in the front stopped.

The sun dispelled the fog, and the sound of running water was too slow to be heard clearly.Walker looked back, but felt that the hideous corpses were just like dead fish heads protruding from the pie. Although it was not delicious or good-looking, it was very funny.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the smile on his face suddenly became uncontrollable, but before he could tell his companion about his description, he heard a "pop" sound on his face——

The young lord's scabbard patted his face lightly, not hard enough, but enough to wake him up.

"When facing the enemy, you must not be afraid, but at the same time, you must not be arrogant."

As Cyril said, he slowly drew back his long sword: "After returning to Siliki, take off your clothes, run naked around the central square of the city fifty times, shouting 'I'm not afraid of lizards'."

Valk blushed, and finally stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Yes, Lord Lord!"

No one dared to laugh at Cyril's sentence at this time, they were still immersed in the shock of the dead bodies behind them.They didn't even hear Cyril's words "rest in place for 15 minutes", until Rhodes gave a loud order, and each of them found a piece of dry ground with relief and sat down to rest.

Meanwhile, Cyril and Alina were already walking slowly towards Lake Atter not far away.

"My lord, these petrified giant lizards were all from you last night..."

"Well, I felt something was wrong, so I came to check it out. Fortunately, I came here first. If they were surrounded by these things, at least seven or eight would die."

"No wonder you look so bad today..." Elena couldn't help but sighed, and then her face revealed an expression of grief, "Thinking that I was sleeping soundly at that time...My lord, next time you do something like this You must take me with you!"

"Next time, definitely next time." Cyril was frightened by the girl's sudden determination, and quickly laughed, "Speaking of which, do you think that the heads of those monitor lizards look like piercings? A dead fish head?"

"Ah, you mean the special product of Tochi City? It seems to be really similar..."

As the two talked, they had already arrived at the lake.

The road by the lake is green and green, and traces of artificial construction can be vaguely seen in the grass.The trees by the lake grew tall and big, and the branches were pressed down by the thick leaves and were about to sink into the water.

Before Lake Atter became a forbidden lake, it was also a well-known scenic lake. In fact, there were elves, and very few monsters left the jungle and entered the realm of human life.

At this moment, the aquatic plants are luxuriant near the shore, and those aquatic plants are shaking slightly.Elena leaned forward curiously, before she squatted down to the lake, Cyril stretched out her hand and pulled her back by the collar.

As soon as Eileena stepped back, she saw a huge black shadow jumping out of the water, and then quickly fell back into the lake, causing a splash of water.

"There are a lot of magical beasts in the lake, don't get close." Cyril shook his head at her, a little regretful that he didn't draw his sword quickly, otherwise the small stove for lunch would have already been settled.

He cast his eyes on the grass, and there was an obvious crawling mark, which was exactly the same as the place where monitor lizards walked on the muddy road.

And at the end of the trail is the so-called monitor lizard's lair.
