disaster strikes

Chapter 78 The Layton Knights

The bear is enjoying the dressing service of the rabbit.

It seems that because he voluntarily gave up the death distribution rights of the team leader, the rabbit had a good impression of him, and the bandages were tied with cute bows, making Chen Mo speechless after seeing this scene.

Mao Xiong didn't care about it.

Standing next to the rabbit, this guy has a feeling of tenderness from an iron man.

"What is it called the foggy world? Let's just call it the poisonous world. The damage of these guys is not as good as the toxin on the weapon."

Just now, the team leader's whirlwind slashing ability cut a lot of wounds on Mao Xiong's body, and the huge amount of toxins that followed were superimposed on each other, which seemed to have some defense-breaking reactions, and the defensive immunity of the body cells was too late to fully Cleaning up resulted in damage data of -5, -6, and -7. At this time, the battle was over, and I couldn't help complaining.

After the wound was bandaged, the rabbit performed recovery surgery on the bear.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the bear's injury for the rabbit's healing capacity.

"It seems that the gentlemen here have no vigilance at all, and they are about to forget the cruelty of war."

Nightingale and Maoyan waited in this wheat field for a while, but they didn't see any supporters in the castle. They were disappointed to collect the information they needed.

However, from the perspective of the overall task, this is undoubtedly a good sign.

"Hmph! This decadent family probably hasn't experienced war for too long."

Yuli sneered, as if he saw a tender piece of fat, and his greed was constantly stimulating his ambition.

After observing for a while, Maoyan gestured: "In this case, there is a guard team over there, about a kilometer away, walking towards us, let's get rid of it together?"

Everyone naturally agreed.

……

Maika used to be an adventurer in Glory City.

Although adventurers say that their homes are all over the world, they live in no fixed place, and are fundamentally different from farmers, but Meika, who was born in Glory City, always believes that Glory City is his home.

Until he was 20 years old, he came to Howell Castle and met his current wife.

Even now, he still remembers the scene of that evening.

After wandering in the mist with the team for five days, I came to the market and prepared to sell some of my harvest in exchange for supplies such as sulfur, dry food, and medicine before proceeding to the next stage of the journey.

however.

The first time he saw his wife, he felt that his heart was about to be melted by this beautiful woman, and his dream of becoming a senior adventurer disappeared in an instant.

This is a woman worthy of protecting her life!

Ten years have passed.

Today, he has become a member of the Howell family guard and has a child with his wife.

With the continuous improvement of his strength and the trust of the Howell family, he was promoted to the team leader, and his daily task was to drive away poison and strange animals in the wheat fields, patrol the streets and manage law and order, relaxing and comfortable.

If there is any dissatisfaction, there is only one thing.

That is, Eldest Elon Elon once coveted his wife, but he didn't dare to say anything about what happened, so he could only bury it in his heart.

There was a hint of hatred and helplessness in his eyes.

The Howell family used to be a well-known big family in the Glory Mountains. It once gave birth to a second-level poison master and accumulated a lot of wealth and honor.

But with the death of the powerful poison master who led the family to glory, the Howell family, like most of the Glory Mountain family, has gradually declined. Now it can only be said that it barely maintains its territorial independence and is not affected by the influence of other families. That's all.

The current lord of the Howell family, named Albert Howell, is known as the Secret Whisperer.

Albert has two sons.

The eldest son is named Elon Howell. When Albert was young, he devoted all his attention to developing the government affairs of the family territory and seldom disciplined this son. As a result, he gradually became a depraved playboy. The female family members in the family territory frequently attacked, and sometimes even got involved with the female family members of other families. He really didn't waste his good skin. He became a complete scum and could not take on the important task of revitalizing the family.

Albert, who was disappointed with Elon Howell, gradually put his energy on his second son, Wallace Howell.

This second son has indeed lived up to expectations!

Not only did he show great talent on the path of poison master cultivation at a young age, but he was also loved by the people in the territory. Mika also admired this young master Hua Lai very much.

If he inherits the Howell family lord position, maybe he will lead the family to prosperity in the future.

"stop!"

Mai Ka, who led nine guards to patrol the farmland, seemed to be absent-minded along the way, but seemed to have suddenly noticed something and signaled everyone to stop.

His previous career as an adventurer had imprinted some lingering instincts in his soul, among which was his sensitivity to the smell of blood.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

The guards under his command have a very harmonious relationship with him. They usually eat, drink and do tasks together, and they are all trustworthy brothers.

"It smells bloody!"

Maika's answer made everyone look at each other in dismay.

However, Meika didn't think too much, he said solemnly: "There is probably a monster hidden here, everyone be careful, if you can't fight against it, ask the castle for help in time."

"understood."

The guards looked dignified, they trusted the squad leader very much.

"who!"

A guard noticed the abnormality and shouted, and the other guards looked over.

Seeing that this group of guards was completely different from the previous group of guards, they actually took a defensive posture, Chen Mo and others were not hiding anymore, and Maoyan shot directly, declaring a decisive battle.

"Enemy attack!!"

After reacting, Meika stopped quickly, looked at the menacing enemy, and immediately gave an order: "Retreat! Go back to the castle!"

After hearing this, several guards fled towards the castle without any hesitation, following Meika, and blew the siren horn while running.

Meika could feel that the enemy was fully pursuing him.

But he dared not stop.

Although he doesn't know where these enemies come from, one thing is certain, they are all powerful, far stronger than himself, his wife and children are still waiting for him in the castle, and he must not fall down here!

"Reinforcements from the castle have arrived."

A female voice among the enemy attackers made Meka heave a sigh of relief.

Nightingale said helplessly: "It seems that this should be the Knights from the information, we can't go any further, retreat!"

The six natural disaster victims hurriedly retreated in the direction of the mist.

A group of cavalry rushed out of the castle quickly, and flew past Meika. He finally stopped and took a deep breath to rest.

Of the nine subordinates who escaped with him, only five were left.

Although it was unavoidable to be punished after returning home, fortunately, he saved his life and could see his wife and children again.

After a while.

After seeing the Scourgers entering the mist, the dozen or so cavalrymen did not choose to venture forward. After wandering in front of the mist for a while, they came to Meka's side.

The brown and black war horse took the lead.

The leader is Layton the Beheader, one of the little bosses of the Howell family.

Wearing a cold metal helmet, he looked down at Maika condescendingly, as if he was about to cut off his head at any moment, his face was terribly gloomy.

"Why don't you try to hold them back?"

"Sorry, they are too strong."

Mika was quick to wit, gritted his teeth and responded: "Their strength is far superior to mine, and they have very strange weapons. I suspect that they are natural disasters. I don't want to die in their hands."

Hearing the word Scourge, the knights were in confusion.

According to legend, almost all major families have mastered an ancient magic, that is to summon the Scourge from hell, they are extremely weird, cruel and powerful.

But summoning them to come also requires paying a huge price.

Therefore, unless it is a deep hatred, or wants to replace it, under normal circumstances, no one will easily summon these natural disasters.

Beheading Layton heard the words, his eyes under the metal mask stared at Maika firmly.

"Follow me back to the castle and report the intruder's information to the lord. He will personally convict you of your actions, and you will receive a fair trial."

"Yes."

Maika is not afraid of Layton the Beheader. Although he is a cruel and powerful leader, he is also very fair and compassionate. He is loved by many guards in the castle and has a high prestige.

Maika faintly felt that the Howell family was being shrouded in a shadow, precarious.

It may not be a bad thing to be punished at this time.

……

The six people who entered the foggy forest couldn't help sighing after confirming that the knights of the Howell family hadn't ventured in.

"It is worthy of being the core deterrent force of the Howell family."

Even Mao Xiong couldn't help showing dignity.

Maoyan said dumbfounded: "These knights are not ordinary people. Dealing with so many knights may be more difficult than ordinary big bosses."

Nightingale revealed a thoughtful expression.

"This is the famous Layton Knights of the Howell family. Each member has the strength close to that of an elite guard. The beheaded leader Layton should have reached the level of a small mutant boss. With our strength, unless we lead them into the mist Otherwise, I’m afraid we will have to pay a very high price.”

After hearing Nightingale's analysis, everyone agreed.

Even Yuli, who was previously ambitious, can't help but show a cautious look at this moment. Although he is greedy, he is more afraid of danger.

According to intelligence.

In the Glory Mountains, the strength of the castles of each family is generally divided into three arms.

The first is the ordinary guards that are common in daily life. Their strength is comparable to that of the black-clothed minions in the hive world. Except for the elite squad leader, the ordinary guards are no longer a big threat to the senior Scourgers.

The second is the city guards, which belong to the middle-level arms and are responsible for guarding the city walls and the core area of ​​the castle. They are relatively rare in number, and their strength is also improved by a level compared with ordinary guards.

Finally, there is the Knights.

Many families in the Glory Mountains were even dismissed as third-rate families because it was difficult to piece together a decent knight order. It can be said that the Knights are the face of the Glory Mountain family's castle. If conditions permit, they will do everything possible. Maintain a decent order of knights.

"That's all for today."

Nightingale comforted: "Our mission this time is to collect basic information here, and then look at the reward level of Master Lacy, there is a full month of mission time, don't rush for a while, let alone shut the door for a month. It’s possible, but we can’t let the farmland be abandoned and wait to starve to death, right?”

Just a moment later.

Noticing that the Knights had returned to the castle, the six of them came to the farmland in the other direction. After confirming their safety, they took turns on duty and rested comfortably in the sun.
