I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Such depressing words.

"It's impossible. I won't leave any of you behind. Just give up."

Cheng Rang said with a serious face: "Don't forget, the giant Godwissa is a powerful enemy that we can defeat together. Without any one of you, we can't do it. You are not a burden, but I, as the captain, can't do it." It’s just not competent enough.”

Although Cheng Rang had previously told him to report it as soon as possible if he felt that he could not hold on any longer, the team members gritted their teeth and endured all the way, trying their best to keep up with their own pace in order not to drag themselves down.

However, this behavior of forcing oneself is undoubtedly the most fatal point in the team conquest mode, which has swallowed up countless players.

The so-called "team conquest" means that it is impossible to conquer this huge world by just one person.

And the mode, which requires a team of at least four people to participate in, is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Together they witnessed the collapse of a dynasty. A king who lost the support of his people, no matter how powerful he was, would eventually face destruction.

Cheng Rang still clearly remembered the light that completely disappeared from King Ai Fogel's eyes when he looked back at him for the last time.

"Thank you for freeing Godwitha, my loyal knight."

And the meaning contained in this sentence is far more than that.

It was not only Godwissa who was freed, but also Buck and King Evogel with him.

It is difficult to support a single tree. When the triangle supporting Evogel collapses, it will usher in the final destruction.

The last knight bathed in the light of the red moon, holding the burned out fire in his arms, turned into ashes...

"As long as you still want to take a step toward the light, the human soul has not declared defeat."

This is what chasing the light is all about, never giving up.

"But in this endless thick fog, there is no light at all..."

Just like the monster-ridden city that is shrouded in fog all year round, the sun rarely shines down, making the people inside feel the power of warmth.

Even though they were covered in mud, everyone looked embarrassed and helped each other to move forward. Cheng Rang was also walking at the front. He straightened his spine with force, turned back to them who looked up at him and said word by word: "If If you can’t see the light, please look at me.”

"I'll take you out, I will."

If there is no more torch in this darkness, then I will be the only light.

Cheng Rang raised his arms, praying for light to illuminate the road.

Even if it's just a little bit...even if it's a faint flickering candlelight!

Brisac's spells have endless possibilities, responding to the deepest desires of the caster.

That is the beginning of Prairie Fire, and it is also the first sequence that all those who learn the Brisac Conjuration can master.

The first mantra.

Leticia once sighed with a tone full of memories: "That is your big brother. It is a talking goat. It only learned one spell from me. For the group it leads, It can dispel fear in the dark and scare away powerful enemies..."

That is——

"……spark."

Now, what should it look like in your eyes?

Under the surprised gazes of Ryo Yilan and Mori Chisaki, the flame lit in Cheng Rang's hand emitted a dazzling brilliance like the sun. The brilliance turned into thousands of rays, piercing the thick fog like a sharp sword and spreading in all directions.

Like drizzle, little bits of light sprinkled down, dispelling the coldness in the body, as if injecting strength back into it.

"Captain, this is...?!"

The flickering light gradually extinguished, and as this passage was completely different from before,

After releasing the sparks of the same mantra, Cheng Rang raised the corners of his mouth and said to them with an encouraging smile: "Now, can you see the light?"

Jingle Bell……

A crisp ringing sound came from not far away. Chisaki Mori seemed to be a bit disbelieving as she picked her ears and asked blankly: "Not only did I see light, but did I also experience auditory hallucinations?"

"No, maybe it's not an auditory hallucination..." Cheng Rang immediately looked warily towards the direction of the sound in the mist, gripped the handle of the knife and entered combat mode.

"Something's coming."

Chisaki Mori quickly came to her senses and poured another bottle of relief potion into her mouth. At the same time, she also poured a bottle for Liang Yilan, protecting her behind him.

Although the Spark just now alleviated some of the effects of negative status, with the current state of the Light Chasing Team, they absolutely cannot accept the appearance of any strong enemies anymore.

Cheng Rang's heartstrings were stretched to the limit at this moment, thinking that as soon as the monster's health bar appeared, his instant death attack would directly hit the opponent's face!

Jingle Bell……

As the crisp sound of the bell gradually approached, a hoarse male voice came from the mist.

"It's really rare that a favored person has traveled through the swamp... Let me guess, you are trying to find the mark left by the red moon in this swamp, right?"

A black figure riding a horse appeared not far in front of everyone through the fog. The man had disheveled hair, a wide-brimmed hat, and a heavy leather windbreaker. The hem of the windbreaker was stained with countless dried dark red bloodstains and was in tatters. Rotten, swaying gently with the pace of the horse beneath him.

That horse seemed to be very special. The hooves did not even sink when stepping on the swamp, but walked crisply as if they were stepping on transparent ground.

The sound of the bell comes from the silver bell hanging on the horse's reins. It sways with the jolting of the horse, making a crisp sound.

"I am Lux Creed, the Mist Knight who guards the border of Lake Ater, and the captain of the first wing of the Evogel Expeditionary Force. The favored ones who have crossed the swamp, you are so lucky..."

"Do you know where the Red Moon Emblem is?" Cheng Rang seemed to be very familiar with this place based on his tone.

"Of course I know. You are the few favored ones I have seen who can cross the swamp."

"Has anyone been here before?"

"Not many, maybe two or three...but that was a few years ago."

The first half of Lux's words made everyone's hearts suddenly pick up in their throats, but the second half of his words immediately took a turn for the worse.

A few years ago... I'm afraid it was players who didn't know how many periods ago!

"Can you take us to the location of the Red Moon emblem?"

Along the way, it seems that the attitude of the Evogel forces towards the favored ones is friendly. When Lux announced his home, although everyone's vigilance was still not completely put down, the tense atmosphere between them also eased a little.

Lux stopped his horse and said, "Before that, I want to ask you where your destination is."

"Prison City Prison." Cheng Rang said.

"Have you obtained the key to the prison in the royal city?"

"Yes, it's on us."

"Give me the key and I'll take you through the swamp."

[Regional mission: Follow Lux Creed through the swamp and go to the underground royal city prison. 】

[Items required for the mission: Dungeon Key x1]

[Please note that those who do not hold the dungeon key will be attacked by the Misty Knight. After defeating it, you can find clues to the dungeon key from its body. 】

Chisaki Mori quickly took out the dungeon key from his backpack. Just when he was about to throw the key to Lux, Cheng Rang stopped him.

After taking the key and showing it to Lux, Cheng Rang said, "The key is right here. We're not lying to you, but you have to take us out first."

"Do I think you're bargaining with me, stupid guy?" Lux said in a bad tone, with an obvious threat.

"This is a fair deal and I am responsible for the safety of my players."

The two parties were in a stalemate for a moment, and Lux ​​finally nodded: "Okay, then follow me."

After saying that, he turned his horse's head directly and headed deeper into the mist.

"Follow me."

When Chisaki Mori asked in a low voice why he didn't give him the key here, Cheng Rang replied: "Didn't you read the mission prompt? As long as you don't hold the dungeon key, you will be attacked by the Misty Knight... You put the key here If you give it to him, does that still count as holding?”

"..."

Chisaki Mori trembled after thinking deeply, "Captain, you are more thoughtful!"

"Well, it doesn't matter if I give it to him. At worst, I can just kill him with a knife before he betrays me."

"——Captain, is that what you thought from the beginning?!"

Chapter 133 Risks and rewards coexist

Chapter 1323 Chapter 133 Risks and Rewards Coexist

Following Lux, we soon came to a dilapidated hut built on a swamp.

The wooden structure separates the hut from the swamp below. It is built above the ground. Go up the stairs leading to the hut. After entering the room, a dim red moon emblem is carved on the floor of the house.

"That's great, captain, it's the Red Moon emblem!"

Cheng Rang supported Noretti and came to sit next to the emblem. Mori Qiansaki also quickly approached with Liang Yilan.

Touching the emblem lights it up, and bright red warm waves burst out from it and pass through the body,

[The red moon emblem has been lit up! 】

The frowning brows of Noretti and Liang Yilan finally relaxed, and their pale cheeks instantly turned red. Within a moment, they regained consciousness and opened their eyes again.

"Lan, you wake up!"

"Well..." Liang Yilan covered her head with a distressed expression: "My head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to explode."

"Feeling better?"

Faced with Cheng Rang's concern, Noretti nodded, "Much better...Thank you."

"So I have said that if you can't stand it, don't force it. We won't abandon you because of this."

Taking her through the dangerous swamp all the way to this temporary shelter hut, Noretti looked at the embarrassment of the other people who were covered in mud. She was well aware of the hardships on their journey, and she couldn't help but be deeply moved by it. .

"Yes...sorry."

"Don't say such disrespectful words in the future." Cheng Rang smiled, picked up the prison key, and motioned for the others to rest where they were.

Coming outside the house, Cheng Rang found Lux ​​waiting below.

"About the underground royal city prison...what's there?"

Lux stared at the bunch of ancient keys in Cheng Rang's hand and said in silence for a moment: "How is it going in the King's City of Alfogel? I haven't been back for a long time. Due to this dangerous swamp, even I can't Easily pass through it.”

"King Ai Fogel..."

Just when Cheng Rang was about to answer, the system prompt that popped up stunned him.

[Option 1: Tell the truth, King Aifoghar has passed away, and now the city of King Aifoghar is under my occupation. 】

[Option 2: Deceive Lux, and everything will be fine with King Avoghar. 】

[Player choices will lead to the plot direction of subsequent regional missions, please make your decision carefully. 】

After weighing it for a while, Cheng Rang chose to tell the truth.

After all, the key was found from the royal city's treasury. If Lux knew the source of the key and then tried to explain it with more lies, the gain would probably outweigh the loss.

After Lux listened quietly to Cheng Rang's narration of what happened one by one, he slowly took off his hat and placed it on his chest as a gesture of condolences.

His eyes were helpless and full of sadness.

"Has the once glorious Avoghar fallen...Although the reality is cruel, thank you for telling me the truth." Lux sorted out his emotions and put his hat back on, "Since then, I have lost the ability to protect this place. The meaning of the treasure has also lost its luster, and it will all be in vain in the end.”

"Treasure?"

"Oh, you people really only become interested when you hear these words."

Cheng Rang waved his hand and said: "I think you misunderstood. When we met King Aifoghar, we can see from the attitude of his followers that he was once an unparalleled virtuous king. But you also know that there is no choice. The arrival of the red moon caused all this, which is not the result we want to see, and it is also beyond our control."

Cheng Rang continued: "I'm just curious, because this bunch of keys was found from the treasury of the royal city. There is nothing in it except the map and keys."

"You want to ask me what's in the Royal City Prison, right?" Lux pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, pointing to the road leading to the shore of Yate Lake outside the dense forest: "The center of the shore of Yate Lake is the entrance to the Royal City Prison, where the mainland is imprisoned. The most brutal guys in the world. There is no doubt that the prison needs a natural barrier filled with murderous forests and a huge lake. They are all strong men of the "Great Hero" level. "

"How many are there?"

"There are five floors in the underground royal city prison. From top to bottom, six prisoners ranging from weak to strong are imprisoned. On the bottom floor, there is even a powerful dragon as a garrison, and it is also the door to Ai Fogel's final treasure house. "

"……dragon?"

"As the most powerful creatures on this continent, they even possess brutal force that can kill gods. They can soar in the sky wantonly, and are also affected by the erosion of the red moon, so they have gained even more power." Lux shook his head. : "King Ai Fogel has fallen. I am afraid that the seal of the underground prison that seals them will soon loosen. If those guys run out of the underground, it will undoubtedly be a devastating disaster."

In the prison of the royal city, without seeing the light of day, their power is still suppressed by the seal. If they break out of the prison and bathe in the scarlet of the red moon, I am afraid that few people on this continent can stop their crazy slaughter.

"so……"
