In the Shen Yun Forest, the ancient towering trees are like silent guardians.
Their huge crowns intertwine, blocking out most of the sunlight, with only a few mottled shadows falling on the thick moss and rotten leaves.
The air was filled with the scent of moist earth and the faint fragrance of wild flowers.
This is the unique smell of nature, which makes people unconsciously take a deep breath and feel the freshness.
In this vast forest, a group of knights are traveling back and forth.
Their armor gleamed coldly in the dim light, and their feet made rustling sounds on the ground covered with fallen leaves, breaking the tranquility of the forest.
They are one of the twelve knights of the Second Knights of the Northern Wind Empire, led by Knight Captain Bernard.
The purpose of their trip was simple.
Find the goblin who took away the ancient relics and take them back.
Find the elf your majesty mentioned.
Kill the White-haired Goblin.
Everything else is fine, but why kill the white-haired goblin?
He doesn't really understand.
But as a knight, all you have to do is follow orders.
So, he didn't ask.
Bernard looked around, and there was no sign of any elves or even monsters.
"Hey"
He sighed. In a forest that was larger than their country, looking for an elf was like looking for a needle in a haystack, wasn't it?
And those two goblins, who knows where they ran off to?
At this time, the sun had risen overhead, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the treetops, forming mottled beams of light.
Bernard looked up at the sun, then shouted to the knights behind him:
"take a break!"
"Great!"
When the knights heard the captain's order, they stopped and found a relatively clean place to sit down.
“Finally I can take a break”
They took out the bread in their arms and began to eat it ravenously.
Bernard also found a rock to sit on. He gently took off his helmet and put it aside.
There was fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still determined.
He looked around at the knights around him, watching them wolf down their food, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
These knights were his closest comrades.
They have experienced countless life and death tests together and have long formed a deep understanding and trust.
"Captain Bernard"
Suddenly, the deputy captain Kadi beside him spoke to him:
"I heard that the white-haired goblin is called the 'White Death'. In the past, everyone who saw him and attacked him died."
Kadi lowered his eyebrows, his eyes full of fear.
"He has the ability to kill mature people in seconds"
"And the elf, according to the three captains, is very strong, and the goblin general that suddenly appeared is even more powerful."
"The church's treasures were also taken away, causing the people in the church to be furious. I heard that they have sent priests and Holy Light Knights over here."
"what do you want to say?"
Bernard looked at Cuddy who lowered his head and asked.
"Can we get back alive?"
Bernard inquired, noticing that Cady's hand was shaking as he held the sword.
"Are you scared? You weren't like this before."
"Yes!"
Cuddy nodded.
"You know what? Captain Bernard, I'm going to be a father."
"what?"
Bernard's eyes widened, then he patted Cady on the shoulder and congratulated him:
"Congratulations, I will make up for the gift when I get back."
"Um"
Cuddy opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Bernard.
"Don't worry, we will definitely come back"
“My family is waiting for me too.”
As he spoke, Bernard looked at the knights behind him and smiled, "They too, all have their own families."
Bernard knew what Cuddy wanted to say.
Give up the search, play badly, and run away when you encounter danger.
The priority is to protect lives. Anyway, the leader doesn’t know what they are doing outside.
Just drag them until others find the target, or the leader orders them to go back.
can.
What if the captain doesn't give the order and we keep searching?
What if other teams have the same idea?
He couldn't keep slacking off like this.
Besides, if these are dangerous for them, aren’t they dangerous for others?
This is inconsistent with the chivalry he upholds.
"I will pretend I didn't hear what you just said, and don't say it again in the future."
Bernard's tone was calm, but there was a hint of warning in his voice.
"Um"
Cuddy looked at Bernard and nodded.
"Don't worry, I can do it"
Bernard's words had not yet been fully spoken.
His ears suddenly moved slightly, as if he had caught some subtle sound.
"careful!"
He shouted, his voice echoing in the quiet forest.
However, his reminder seemed to come a little late.
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the darkness and pounced on a knight at lightning speed.
The black shadow opened its mouth full of fangs and bit hard on the knight's neck that was not covered by the armor.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered like a fountain, staining the surrounding leaves and grass red.
A shrill scream echoed in the forest, making people shudder.
"You damn goblin!"
The knight closest to them roared. He reacted extremely quickly and drew the sword from his waist after Captain Bernard issued a warning.
The sword flashed, and it slashed towards the goblin with fierce murderous intent.
However, the goblin was extremely cunning.
It quickly lifted up the knight in its hands and used the knight's body as a shield.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the knight had to stop what he was doing for fear of accidentally hurting his companions.
"Crench!"
The goblin let out a strange sound, which was full of ridicule and provocation.
Its blood-red eyes flashed evilly in the darkness, as if mocking the knight's helplessness and anger.
At this moment, a powerful force suddenly fell from the sky and hit the goblin hard.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the goblin's entire body flew backwards as if hit by a huge hammer.
It drew a long arc in the air and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Boom!"
The friction between the body and the ground made a harsh sound and left a long bloody mark on the ground.
Bernard glared at the goblin lying on the ground, his eyes filled with rage and murderous intent.
"What do you think my men are!"
Magic power flowed wildly through his veins, as if trying to break through the restraints of his body.
Unexpectedly, he just comforted Kady that everything would be fine.
The next moment, one of his men was killed.
Or was he killed by a low-level monster goblin? !
Bernard gritted his teeth, and the goblin laughed wildly, seeming to be wailing.
"Eat, eat, eat!"
Under Bernard's surprised gaze, the red-eyed goblin stood up from the ground.
"what?"
The blow he just made should have crushed the goblin's bones. Even if it didn't die, it shouldn't be able to stand up. (End of this chapter)
