Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 230 Wandering in the Dark, Mercenary Cavalry
"Master... where should we go?"

The little maid hugged him, her voice was a little trembling, and she urged nervously.

A memory flooded into his mind, and Chu Ming's thoughts surged. He pointed to the direction behind the hotel and said, "Let's leave from the stable behind the hotel. There may still be horses trapped in the stable there."

Irina sniffled her nose and nodded. She held Chu Ming in her arms, and carefully stretched out her head to look in the corridor of the room.

Faint screams sounded from the room, and the whole corridor was covered with dragging bloodstains. It was Chu Ming's two guards and attendants who stayed behind. It was smashed, leaving only blood-stained bedding and some corpse fragments inside.

The little maid walked nervously in the wooden corridor, her steps were light, for fear of making a big noise and attracting the dark creatures.

She looked around the room, and when she saw the pieces of meat left in the broken room, her face turned pale.

"Master...Master, I'm afraid."

Chu Ming withdrew his gaze from the room and comforted him, "Irina is not afraid, it's just some beasts."

"Attention, there is movement in the front room, you throw the gold coin necklace under your feet and have a look."

Irina opened her small mouth and was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't hear what Chu Ming said, she believed in him very much.

The little maid stopped, squatted down slightly, put down the hammer, and threw the bloody gold necklace left in the corridor onto the wooden board in the front corridor.

Boom... gurgling... The gold necklace made a sound when it hit the floor, but its quality didn't seem to be very good. Just after hitting it, the gold coin with a hole on it fell out and rolled towards the stair railing at the end of the corridor.

Irina's forehead was covered with sweat. She stared at the front room in panic for a while. After seeing no movement inside, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed a little, "Master, there is no danger..."

Before the little girl finished speaking, there was a bang, and the wooden wall in front of her suddenly shattered, and a hound spouting black flames jumped out. It stared at Chu Ming and Chu Ming with blood-colored fierce eyes, as if it wanted to swallow them alive .

In an instant, Irina turned pale with fright and was about to scream.

"Shh!"

Chu Ming covered her mouth with his left hand, and at the risk of being burned by the black flames, he stretched out his right hand and strangled the neck of the Black Fire Hound.

"Hoo...how..."

The black fire hound struggled desperately in Chu Ming's hands, a huge force came from Chu Ming's palm, and the black flames on the hound became hotter and hotter, scorching his palm until it was scorched black.

"It's you who's waiting!"

Chu Ming's face didn't change because of the pain. He fixed his gaze on the Black Fire Hound, and the mental power in his mind was quickly connected to form a spell model.

Lightning flashes!

This spell is the only lightning spell that Chu Ming knows. He has practiced it for five years. Even if the flash of lightning is mainly to confuse the enemy with flashes and secondly to damage, it can also bloom in his hands with a different brilliance.

Zizizi! !

The purple thunder light flickered, intertwined with the pitch-black flames, and spread throughout the body of the Black Fire Hound in an instant. It wailed a few times, the temperature of its body rose rapidly, and the smell of burning and meat came out. ash.

When Chu Ming put down the hound in his hand, the dark creature was lying twisted on the ground, the black flames on its body were being extinguished.

The long-distance damage of the flash of lightning alone cannot destroy the black fire hound, so he can only take the risk of letting Irina lure it out, and use the flash of lightning to kill it at close range.

Although the Black Fire Hound died in the lightning, Chu Ming also felt uncomfortable. At this time, his palm was scorched black, and red flesh was faintly exposed on the scorched skin.

"Master, I shouldn't have made a sound."

Irina looked at the wound on Chu Ming's hand, her nose that had stopped sobbing started to twitch again, and her eyes were filled with crystal clear tears.

"Ahem, you did a good job."

Of course Chu Ming would not tell the fact that he used the two of them as bait, otherwise he would have planned to scare the little maid.

He looked at the scorched palm and frowned slightly. He could feel the burning pain from the wound and the itching of the skin and flesh.

Chu Ming's mind moved, and the simple spell model in his mind was constructed. A green light appeared on his palm, the granulation sprouted on it, the scorched skin fell off, and the wound temporarily scabbed.

He didn't know what dark creatures were waiting for him under the hotel. Chu Ming didn't dare to expend his mental power to avoid the embarrassing situation where he couldn't resist the dark creatures, so he simply treated the wound.

Putting down his palm, Chu Ming looked at Irina, "Go on, let's go around through the back door, there shouldn't be so many dark creatures there."

Irina sniffled, nodded, picked up the hammer, and carefully walked downstairs to the hotel with Chu Ming in her arms.

Along the way, the hotel rooms were empty, with only messy clothes left inside, as if some passengers had escaped in advance.

After Chu Ming and the others went downstairs, they carefully hid their figures beside the guardrail of the stairs. While several dark creatures downstairs were still nibbling on the bloody corpses, Irina quietly moved to the back door of the hotel.

She put Chu Ming down on the floor, carefully opened the back door of the hotel, and poked out her little head cautiously.

"Master, there seems to be no monsters here."

"Let's go to the stables."

"Ah."

Irina cautiously walked out of the back door with Chu Ming in her arms, and walked slowly towards the stables in the backyard.

But before they got close to the stable, there was a sound of biting and biting from behind the door panel of the stable, and the smell of blood wafted out.

Chu Ming and the two huddled in the corner and looked over quietly, and saw that most of the horses in the stable had disappeared, as if they were taken away by fleeing passengers, and the only two remaining horses in the stable did not escape the darkness The claws of the creature gradually turned into a corpse amidst the tragic screams.

Irina looked at Chu Ming with confused eyes, "Master, what should we do?"

Chu Ming thought for a while, then looked at the wooden loft behind the hotel, "Let's go up and have a look, maybe it's not a good choice to go out of the city at this time."

Irina swallowed, overcame the fear in her heart, and walked towards the wooden building with Chu Ming in her arms.

Fortunately, they have not been patronized by dark creatures yet, and the two of them entered the attic smoothly, and it took a lot of effort to climb up the tiled roof of the wooden building from the skylight.

beep, beep...

Irina walked carefully on the tiled roof full of dust and wild plants, and Chu Ming's vision circled around.

According to his observation, in the direction of the city gate, there seem to be many dark creatures coming. If the two of them flee to the city gate, they will definitely be surrounded by beast hordes, and the situation they will face will be more desperate than being trapped in a hotel .

Just don't run to the city gate, where else can I go... The whole town has become a bloody purgatory, and many human corpses, as well as corpses of other race creatures can be seen on the streets. At the corner of the street, other houses There were screams from time to time in the store.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming turned his attention to the city.

If he remembered correctly, there was a mercenary guild near Erken Street, and they had their own mercenary regiment.

The town is named Baiker, named after a mage, but after the death of this mage, the town of Baiker has not fallen a lot. It is estimated that the biggest force in the town is currently stationed in the mercenary guild. of mercenaries.

If the location of the mercenary regiment can be found, maybe they can escape the town of Baiker with the help of the mercenary cavalry.

But if he guessed wrong, if the mercenary group had already escaped from Baiker Town, his next actions would be in vain, and he would also put himself in a certain death situation.

Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, and felt relieved when he thought that he still had four writings that he hadn't used yet.

Even if the writing failed due to this action, he can still make a new choice again. It only takes one month to recover the number of writings at a time, and this price is not unbearable.

It's just...Chu Ming's gaze moved, and he focused on Irina.

I'm afraid he's going to take this timid little maid on an adventure this time.

"Young Master, what's the matter?"

Seeing Chu Ming staring at her, the little girl's blood-stained face showed a look of fear, she thought she had messed with something she shouldn't have messed with.

Chu Ming came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay, there are more and more dark creatures in the town, it is estimated that the hotel will be surrounded by dark creatures in a while, let's leave here first, you follow my command, we Be careful, go to the alley opposite first."

He pointed to a dark alley in the street behind the hotel.

Although the chance of encountering dark creatures there is not small, as long as they can get rid of the dark creatures inside, they can walk to Erken Street along the relatively safe alley.

"Okay, young master, I will help you down."

The little maid nodded trustingly, carried Chu Ming down the wooden building, and secretly ran out through the back door.

"Roar……"

The bodies of several dark creatures that were nibbling on the corpse suddenly paused, and turned their heads to look at Chu Ming and the two who were sneaking around.

Irina was startled, her legs flew fast, panting and holding Chu Ming, she quickly ran into the alley, they made a few big circles in it, the wild barking sounds gradually disappeared, the little maid stopped, tiredly gasping.

"Irina, take a break first."

"Okay, sir."

The little maid put Chu Ming down, and squatted down in the alley to rest.

After a while, when her breath gradually stabilized, she picked up Chu Ming and walked through the alleys according to the guidance.

In fact, Chu Ming is not familiar with the streets of Baker. The reason why he can find the way to the hiring guild now is entirely because Ren has been to the hiring guild before. As a result, as soon as he came back, the town of Baiker was attacked by dark creatures.

This time, the dark beast horde was raging and they were able to enter Baiker Town, which is located in the heart of Thorn Flower County. It must be that something happened to the Violet Principality that he didn't know about.

However, accidents and the like are not what he should consider now, at least until he escapes from Baiker Town.

Secretly hiding his worries in his heart, Chu Ming was alert to the corners where dark creatures might appear around the alley, ready to fight back at any time.

Irina detoured in the alley for half an hour, during which time they also encountered many dark creatures, and even saw monsters such as ogres mixed in with the beast tide, destroying the street.

The strength of the ogre is at least at the blue level, and they are not something that Chu Ming and the others can provoke. Chu Ming will only attack those dark creatures that cannot be avoided.

Just killing the five dark creatures in the alley, Chu Ming's spiritual power was consumed by more than half. Faced with this bad situation, he became more cautious.

However, with Irina walking instead, his strong body of great knight physique has also recovered a lot, and he can barely walk on the ground.

After walking for a few more minutes, the two crouched under a tall tower in the alley.

Suddenly, Irina's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the alley not far away, "Look, young master, there seems to be someone there!"

Chu Ming was taken aback, and looked in the direction of the girl's finger. At the end of the alley, there was a hedge knight wearing dark brown leather armor and a steel gauntlet on his right arm, who was stubbornly resisting the attack of dark creatures.

Irina helped Chu Ming get up and gradually approached the alley. The sound of swords slicing, metal colliding, and flesh tearing... Countless noisy sounds gradually came, and the scene of the knight team fighting the beast horde appeared before their eyes. .

On the street, horse refusal posts were wrapped with barbed wire to block both sides of the street, and at the entrance of the mercenary guild in the middle, mercenary cavalry raised their spears and stabbed at the raging beast tide.

Chu Ming moved his eyes and looked at the mercenary guild behind the iron fence. There was a faint wailing sound amidst the noisy voices. He saw a dozen knights lying on the ground receiving treatment inside.

In the mercenary guild, a knight with a long sword in his hand and his whole body covered in dark armor had a solemn face, watching the raging beast tide for a long time without saying a word.

This knight is called Miguel Komminghes. He was originally a blue magic knight who served a certain mage in the Violet King City. However, the mage never came back to the King City after he went out once.

Losing the protection of the mage, he could only return to his hometown of Baker to start a mercenary business. As a result, his mercenary group grew bigger and bigger, and even started a business a few years ago on the bustling Elken Street, where every inch of land is precious. They set up a mercenary guild, and while their guild was doing hired work, they also provided job opportunities for other wandering hired knights.

Originally, he thought that this kind of development would continue forever, and that one day he would be able to employ guilds everywhere in the Violet Principality.

However, the reality quickly dealt a heavy blow to this man. The dark beast horde attacked the town of Baker without warning. They not only destroyed the place, but also kicked Miguel Comminghus' ideals to the ground. , trampled to pieces.

Facing the terrifying tide of dark beasts, not to mention protecting the mercenary guild, even the survival of him and these mercenary knights became a problem.

Miguel withdrew his gaze from the raging beast tide and turned to the servants cleaning up in the guild gate. He solemnly asked the steward commanding the servants, "How long will it take to clean up everything?"

The white-haired old butler wiped the sweat from his forehead because of anxiety, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, give me a few more minutes."

Miguel shook his head and said decisively: "I don't want the rest of the supplies, quickly gather the carriages, and we'll leave now."

"Wait, my lord!!"

The old butler suddenly shrank his eyes and pointed in the direction of the beast tide, "There seems to be something there?!"

Miguel quickly turned his head to look at the beast tide. When he saw a black light gushing out of it, his face changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously: "All knights leave the horse rejection post immediately!"

After the man's voice fell, the knights retreated quickly, only a few knights were still in place, unable to react.

In the next second, boom! !There was a violent explosion, the wooden stake was blown to pieces, and the wires flew around. The dark creatures and knights in the center of the explosion failed to react, and their flesh and blood flew all over their bodies, hitting the wall, or hitting the sharp bullet at the door of the mercenary guild. on the guardrail.

Miguel stared at the black figure in the deep pit, and squeezed out a few words, "Blue-level dark creature."

Miguel would not have naively thought that relying on the horse-rejecting posts could stop the dark beast tide forever.

These horse refusal posts are useful to some ordinary horses or humans, but to dark creatures, they are just stones in the way.

The reason why they were able to withstand the dark beast horde just now was due to the mercenary cavalry who kept attacking from the side. If they were not there, these horse-repelling posts would not be able to hold on at all, and would be crushed by the raging beast horde in just a few seconds. Residue crumbs.

And once they encounter powerful blue-level dark creatures, this weak line of defense will soon be broken through, and they will face the dark beast tide.

Miguel waved his hands and shouted angrily: "Hurry up, get on the horse first, and go first if you can!"

After saying this, in order to buy time for the carriage to leave, the man and the mercenary group blocked the entrance of the mercenary guild together, and fought the dark creatures at close quarters.

Miguel kept searching the beast tide, and he soon found the figure that caused the explosion of magic power—it was an ogre polluted by darkness, but the strange thing was that this ogre was as tall as ordinary Unlike the extremely strong ogre, its body is thin and thin, only its right hand is swollen and exudes a mysterious and deadly purple light.

The man's eyes were solemn, and he swept the long sword in his hand, and the head of the dark creature fell to the ground and was thrown away. He stepped on the corpse and jumped towards the dark ogre.

Like cutting tofu with a knife, Miguel easily cut off the ogre's swollen giant hand.

Unexpectedly, the matter would be so easy, the man was stunned for a moment, and the next second he saw the flesh and blood of the giant hand that fell on the ground squirmed, and unexpectedly condensed another dark ogre whose breath did not fall into the original body!

"what?!"

Miguel's face changed drastically. He finally figured out why the ogre's body was so thin, and stepped back crazily.

But it was obviously too late at this time, the two ogres roared, chanting strange syllables, and there were traces of magic patterns on their fists, and they rushed towards Miguel.

If a blue ogre Miguel can handle it, he is even confident that he can kill the ogre within dozens of rounds.

But what he is facing now is two, which is beyond his ability!
boom! !

Two pairs of magic patterns hit the long sword with heavy fists, Miguel snorted, and stepped back, spitting blood at the mouth.

But the ogre refused to let go, and continued to attack the man with punches.

"Is the sky going to kill me?!"

The man looked desperate and swung his long sword to fight back.

As soon as Miguel made a move, the long sword was hit by the heavy fist of the magic pattern. His face changed, and he thought he would be repelled.

But what was strange was that he actually resisted the heavy punch attack, and there was still a faint red light emerging from his body.
