Alien Knights

　　 Listening to the fading footsteps, Todd pressed the beating heart with his hands, panting and asking others, "What is that giant?!"

　　 ""Hive"."

　　 To his surprise, the knight actually answered the question.

Leslie lay on the door, looked outside through the small hole, and added: "One of the most difficult alien species is a guy that no one wants to meet. But...it's a little strange...this guy is the same guy we've encountered before. "The hive" seems to be different..."

　　 "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Todd made a stop gesture with his hand: "Let me talk about it first, what is the "Hive" alien?"

Leslie glanced at Alfonso, the latter nodded, and then the former began to introduce: ""The Hive" is a special alien species. It has no combat effectiveness, but can control other creatures, controlled creatures. It is called a "puppet." A "puppet" can be insects, fish, beasts or even humans. The "beehive" that controls humans is quite rare, and the alien species that can control so many humans is even rarer."

　　 Todd heard a key point: "Is there a limit to the number of creatures controlled by the "Hive" alien species?"

"That's natural. If the number of individuals controlled is unlimited, wouldn't it be invincible? We have met those who can control one or two humans, and some who can control four or five, but they can control more than fifty people like this " "Honeycomb", very few." Leslie confirmed that there was no threat outside the door, and his body relaxed completely: "The "Hive" alien can secrete black bugs from the body and be buried in the "Puppet". When needed, You can control them at any time; when you don’t need it, you can cut off your control relationship with them at any time.”

　　 Todd remembered the "black liquid" he had just seen, and thought for a while, those things may be "food-borne parasites", and they should have entered the host's body through food and water.

　　 "Boss, what shall we do now?"

　　 The knight stood up and lifted the big sword: "Continue to set off, the goal is still the Watch Fort."

　　 Todd watched the two push the door and set off, feeling a little calm. From start to finish, Alfonso and Leslie didn't mention Karin's abilities, as if they hadn't seen them just now. Although I don't know what they think, but if the other party doesn't mention it, he will naturally not talk about it.

　　 moved forward for about ten minutes, and the outline of the watch castle in the night had appeared in front of his eyes. At the gate facing the south, in front of the iron fence gate driven by gears and rockers, more than fifty "puppets" gathered, but the "beehive" was gone.

　　 Todd hid his body in the grass, looked at the wailing and twisted monsters hovering near the castle gate not far away, and asked the knight: "Well, how should we get in now?"

　　 Alfonso carried the weapon behind him, looked around the edge of the castle, pointed to a depression in the outer wall in the night, and said to others: "Follow me."

　　 bypassing the enemy at the door, a group of four came to a hidden wall. The knight picked up a small stone, spotted the slanting window on the wall, and threw it up. The stone hit the stone edge of the inclined window, bounced a few times, and made a crisp sound.

　　 A few seconds later, a bearded head stretched out.

　　 Using the hilt to tap the city wall rhythmically, one long and four short, Alfonso’s movements suddenly reminded Todd of the joint code in the Anti-Japanese War movie.

　　 Another minute or two later, there was the sound of shaking the handle in the night sky, and a wooden "elevator" slowly approached the ground. First is the lighter Leslie and Karin, then Todd, and finally Alfonso. In this way, the team came to the outer wall of the city wall through this primitive lifting method.

　　 When Alfonso got down from the elevator and stood on the city wall. The four soldiers let go of the round putters in their hands, and under Todd's surprised gaze, they bent over to salute him.

　　 A man with a beard, wearing a breastplate engraved with a silver crown, walked quickly, punched Alfonso's chest with his fist, and laughed happily: "You can still remember the original signal!"

　　 Todd was even more puzzled when he saw this scene. He knew that the badge of the silver crown was the symbol of the kingdom of the silver ring. Looking at his costume, the bearded man should be a knight of the secular kingdom, but he is so familiar with Alfonso Decavo, the church knight, that people can't figure it out.

Seeing who the person was, Alfonso relaxed his body rarer, knocked on the other's armor with his knuckles, and his eyes behind the iron mask had a hint of warmth: "Wild, you look much older than before. ."

"Because I care more about life than you. I have a wife and four children. I have to worry about my livelihood every day. Like you, you gave up the kingdom’s fief and donated all your property to the church. A knight of the Holy See, a true warrior under Heavenly Father!" Wilder touched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed: "Although I have confidence in my faith, I think I can't do what you do."

　　 Alfonso didn’t seem to want to entangle more on this topic, so he asked straightforwardly: "Do you know what happened in the city?"

　　 Wilder nodded: "I have listened to the reports of my subordinates in detail, and things have become a little troublesome."

　　 looked in the direction of the castle tower, Alfonso asked suspiciously: "You know what I want to hear is not this, why not send troops to maintain order? What about Sir Adams?"

　　 The bearded man scratched the beard on his chin with the palm of his hand, with a look of embarrassment: "There are some things that I may not be able to say clearly for a while. You should follow me to take a look."

　　 Led by friends and soldiers, a group of four came to the training ground in the center of the castle.

　　 Alfonso did not care about the twisted and noisy "puppets" outside the fence. He was first attracted by dozens of corpses covered by white cloth on the ground.

Wilder squatted down, recovered the white cloth blown by the wind with his hands, and sighed: "There are a total of thirty-five corpses here. They went to Shouwang Town for a meal or a party in the afternoon, and when they came back, they vomited and diarrhea, and then their heart I stopped beating, no more breathing.

Looking up at the soldiers on the square, Alfonso's brow furrowed deeper and deeper: "Together, there are less than one hundred and fifty soldiers. What about the rest? Where are the other knights? What about Commander Adams? "

Wilder snarled at the two corpses at the farthest point: "The one on the left is Knight Yad Aino, and the one on the right is Sir Adams. As for the others, they went to the town and never came back. The one in front of you I am the only knight here..."

　　The Iron Masked Rider was silent.

　　 He thought that the situation might be bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

　　 Just when he wanted to talk, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came one after another in the distance, which attracted people's attention. More than fifty "puppets" outside the fence gate, like puppets that have lost their marionettes, all fell to the ground.

　　 Wilder turned his head and saw that he was strange. He said in disbelief, "The enemy has retreated?"

　　 Not right!

　　 There must be something wrong!

　　 Some words suddenly appeared in Todd's head. They were some things he had heard before, but for a while, they would be vague and unrealistic.

　　 In desperation, he tried to ask Leslie: "I remember, you seem to have said that the "beehive" controls the "puppet" method..."

　　 "Huh? When "Hive" does not need "puppets", at any time, it can cut off contact with them."

　　 "No, no. Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

　　 "I think about it... whenever needed, the "Hive" can control them at will..."

　　 Hearing this, Todd's mind was excited, and the hair roots stood up!

　　 slowly turned his head back, one after another on the square, straightened up from under the white cloth...
