Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Chapter 16 16: [Havok Cave] The Knight's Resolution
It was a crack half a person wide, and there was still a faint cave wind blowing from inside.

When there is wind, there is an outlet.For a time, the morale of the entire expedition team was greatly improved.Caving is easy to come down and difficult to go up.Who would want to climb back if they could really go straight out of here?

As for the equipment that is still on it, just come back and get it after you go out.

But such a narrow crack means that they can only enter sideways, and it doesn't matter if they can't bring their long swords in. Even if they encounter danger halfway, they can't use their fists or kicks, and there is a high probability that they can only be passively beaten.

There seems to be an undercurrent surging in the pitch-black dome, trying to reflect the deepest fears in the hearts of these young people.

But Angie really wanted this opportunity to "quickly accumulate meritorious service and become a knight".Wealth is always sought in danger, the more places others will not go to, the higher the probability of having treasures.

Barton was naturally not afraid.He originally came out to play secretly in the name of cultivating newcomers.

What about Sean?This young knight, who had been with them all the way, had no reason to accompany them on adventures.He is already a knight, and he is still young, and he must have surviving family members.

Thinking of this, Anji pulled Sean aside, intentionally avoiding Barton, and whispered, "You can stay here to meet us. Just go in with Barton."

The normally taciturn but delicate knight understood her meaning in an instant.

At this time, Barton, who was alone in the distance, was still muttering dissatisfiedly, saying that they had something to hide from the deputy head, but he didn't intend to come over to disturb them.

Sean glanced at Barton, then looked away, and shook his head slightly.Candlelight illuminates the immature face of this 16-year-old boy.

"If I die fighting in a foreign land, my family will be proud of me."

He said such decisive words in a flat but calm tone, which shocked Anji's heart quite a bit, even greater than the thunder that almost hit him.

At first, she only thought that these knights were inexplicably reserved, but now it seems that she underestimated the determination of these people.

Before they became knights, or earlier, these people who were born and bred in this world had already decided the direction of their progress.

No one is born without fear of death.But more than death itself, they are more afraid of escaping and becoming something that runs counter to their ideal selves.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Anji no longer obstructs her, and she nods her head slightly to show her respect.

The two walked towards Barton.

Seeing that the person who had left him to whisper finally returned to the team, Barton's big green eyes seemed to be dripping water, and he pursed his mouth aggrievedly.

"What are you doing! It was the deputy head who brought you out, yet you left me behind to whisper! You must be scolding me!"

Anji could only comfort him with a smirk, "Deputy head, we are discussing whether we should leave someone here to help. After all, this is also a third-level foreign land, so we still need to be more cautious."

"Be careful! You don't understand the gold content of this deputy leader!" The young knight instantly withdrew his aggrieved expression and became angry, "I am a powerful fearless man with a endurance value of [-]!"

This sentence has no effect on Angie, because she doesn't understand the standard of patience in this world.During this period of time, she was already very tired from dealing with Barton's training, and fell asleep every day when she went back, and she didn't care about other things.So she just tilted her head and looked at Barton suspiciously.

But to Sean, Barton's words exploded in his ears like thunder, and the effect was extraordinary.His tone was full of urgency and disbelief: "Your patience has reached seventy?"

"That's right. I broke through when I went to the intermediate cursed area with Lord Slade some time ago. Hehehe~~"

Barton was extremely ecstatic, thankful that he brought Sean over.If only Angie, the illiterate of the dauntless, was there, there would be no cheering for him.

Angie looked at Sean for help.Sean sighed and began to explain.

One of the biggest differences between the mid-level cursed area and the low-level cursed area is the requirement for endurance.

Just like Angie and Scott's resistance values ​​are both in the range of [-] to [-], they can walk sideways in the low-level cursed area.

However, in the fourth-level foreign land belonging to the intermediate curse area, they began to experience symptoms of bleeding from the mouth and nose, accompanied by abnormal sensations such as internal bleeding and internal pain.

For Angie, it was the severe pain all over the body and the feeling of suffocation.

They were in an extremely dangerous state in the forest at the time, and they could not survive for two or three hours at most.And in the middle, because they were deeply hallucinated, they didn't discover the changes in the foreign world immediately, so a lot of time was wasted.

And hallucinations are one of the signature side effects of the middle-level cursed area.

Angie's stamina was lower than Scott's at the time, so her symptoms were more severe.

A resistance value of [-] against curses means that Barton can walk sideways in the forest alien land that almost killed Angie without receiving any punishment from the alien land.

As a fearless person who becomes stronger through exposure to curses, a higher resistance value means that he has been exposed to more curses, and his physical ability will naturally be stronger than that of a person with a low resistance value.Therefore, the endurance value has always been the most important criterion for judging the fighting ability of the fearless.

Sean knew that not everyone liked "calling a curse a blessing."He thoughtfully used the most official and popular terms to answer Angie's confusion.

"I see..." Angie nodded from time to time, half understanding. "In other words, Barton is twice as strong as me, equivalent to two me?"

Even if she doesn't understand, it always counts.Isn't 34 times faster than my own [-]?

Thinking that she had damaged so many clothes during training, but had never been able to damage Button's clothes, Angie felt a little unbalanced.

"More than that. The later the stamina value is, the more difficult it is to improve. Sometimes the difference is only ten points, and it is already a world of difference."

"cut."

Her staggering sound could not escape Barton's ears.Barton walked up to Anji, pressed his right hand to the top of her head, and said half-jokingly: "Hey, why are you still not convinced! Compared with this deputy head, you little fellow is far behind!"

Angie was very dissatisfied with Barton's way of putting on airs of seniors all day long despite being only two years older than her.She slapped Barton's hand off and began to fight back, but Barton ran extremely fast, and she was sure that Angie would not attack outsiders, and hid behind Sean from time to time, using Sean as a shield.

In the chasing and fighting of this group of energetic young people, this silent and empty cave also became lively.

Angie, who had been chasing for a long time but failed to hit Barton, was out of breath.She gave up dealing with Barton and forced herself to calm down.

After learning that the endurance value represented combat power, she naturally thought of the woman she couldn't compete with yet.

"What is the patience value of Slade... my lord?"

"Around two hundred?" "More than two hundred."

The voices of Barton and Sean sounded one after the other.

...? ?

"Is this still a human?" Anji paused his head and muttered subconsciously, feeling terrified for a while.Presumably in the eyes of the other party, it is more difficult not to kill oneself when making a move than to kill oneself.

"Of course. If it's not so strong, how can we protect Gloskland?"

Among these people, Barton had the most contact with Slade, so he also knew the strength of this lord who took good care of him best.If he really wanted to discuss it, he could boast that he didn't bring the same thing for three days and three nights.

Just as he was about to speak, a slight movement came from below them.Button immediately made a silent gesture, signaling Angie and Sean to stand behind him, while he walked towards the edge of the platform with the candle in his hand.

At this moment, his years of experience in foreign lands made him stop abruptly and retreat a few meters.

Almost at the same time, a huge group of black shadows jumped up high, crossed the platform, and fell heavily on the rock wall above them. Countless small broken stones were shaken off, and were swallowed by the abyss together with those dense rolling sounds.
