Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of hooves faltered and the horse neighed. Chu Ming led the knights in silver and black armor across the street, attracting the attention of the citizens along the way.

Ten minutes later, the knights left the city of Sauron. With the twitch of the reins, the horses were covered with blood, and a blue wind appeared and lingered around everyone, and the speed of the knights suddenly accelerated.

"law…!"

The smoke and dust were flying, and the Knights gradually entered the main road with few pedestrians, and galloped towards the place where the battle was said to have happened half a year ago.

The knights ran all the way here, hardly saw any caravans, only the knights who went to the dark land to experience like them, and there were very few lone wolf knights.

Since the boundary of the Dark Land was driven to the north of the Violet Kingdom, the knights of the Clinton Kingdom rarely saw the Dark Land and dark creatures.

The land of darkness appeared near the city of Sauron. For the lone wolf knight, it was both an opportunity and full of unknown dangers.

The minions of dark creatures are sharper than ordinary creatures, and their fur has a certain resistance to magic. Even the flesh and blood of dark creatures full of darkness can be used to make bait, fuel and the like. It can be said that the whole body is a treasure. Hunting a dark creature Creatures are worth far more than a beast.

But people are always vigilant in the face of the unknown. Some cautious knights will not go to the dark land alone, but will distribute items according to their strength in the form of a small team.

Only a small number of knights who are desperate, need money urgently, or have confidence in their own strength will enter the Dark Land alone.

On the horseback, Chu Ming asked Miguel to come to the front to lead the knights forward temporarily instead of him, and he took the opportunity to take out a map from the copper scroll at his waist.

This volume of map is the map drawn by the epic knights of the Brick family who went deep into the dark land. After they handed over the map to the knight jury, the magic printing workshop in the city of Sauron processed it overnight. The map of breath was sent to the major families in the city and the mercenary guild, and distributed to the knights.

Chu Ming distractedly lowered his head to look at the map. On the map, this newly born dark land was divided into three areas by the knight jury according to the degree of danger.

On the outskirts of the Dark Land, dark creatures that often appear include chaotic deer, flame-headed horses, prairie black-skeleton wolves and other dark creatures transformed from grassland natives. Their strength level is not high, and most of them are dark green creatures. level, only a small part can reach the blue level.

And in the middle of the dark land, due to the legacy of the battle, there are often profane creatures with a strong and chaotic atmosphere or the persistent gray mist that turns into a knight mage.

In addition, the dark atmosphere in the middle area is relatively strong, and some black thorn forests grow on some of the destroyed grasslands. If the knights accidentally break into it, they will not only face the risk of the thorns piercing the leather armor at any time, but also Be wary of dark plants that wield the power of the wood element lurking in the Blackthorn Grove and some white-footed devil spiders that nest in it.

The strength of dark creatures in the middle zone is generally at the dark blue level, but there are often epic creatures haunting it.

In the core area of ​​the Dark Land, where the battle broke out between Princess Kitty and the Familiars of the Gray Mist Cthulhu, there is a potholed basin. After the rainwater pours in, dark swamps are formed on the potholes, where the weeds are tall Several meters away, some smaller dark creatures like to hide inside and attack passing knights.

Moreover, the strength of these dark creatures is not bad, most of them either have special bloodline abilities, or their power is at the epic level.

According to Milissa, who has been to the Dark Land several times for experience, when she and her family's knights cleared out the flood of dark creatures, they have seen many epic three-star dark creatures in it. If you are not confident in your own strength , don't step into the core area, there are dangers everywhere, and only epic knights can barely protect themselves.

If Chu Ming came by himself, he would have to enter the core area to take a look. Although he can't defeat the dark creatures of the epic three stars, but in terms of escape, the running speed of the knight strengthened by Yunlei is unmatched by other knights of.

But now he wants to bring a whole knight order into it. If he really encounters an epic three-star monster in the core area, even if he can escape, the knights of the knight order may not be able to escape.

So just in case, Chu Ming planned to lead the Knights to the middle of the Dark Land to practice. As for whether to enter the core area, he had to wait for him to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Knights after they broke through.

……

The lingering dark place seemed to be in sight, but it took Chu Ming and others more than 40 minutes to reach the periphery of the dark place at full speed, starting from the city of Sauron.

In front of the main road, a camp with dozens of wooden houses appeared on the land where the black mist was relatively thin. There were a lot of tents inside. Knights came and went in and out, yelling loudly for items to be traded. There were merchants who bought dark biological materials inside. , an alchemist who sells alchemy potions, a puppet holding a long sword, a mysterious wizard and wizard... and the most common knight in the city of Sauron.

"It seems that the news of the dark place appearing in the city of Sauron has spread far, and there will be an alchemist here."

When he was about to approach the camp, Chu Ming gradually slowed down the horse's galloping speed, and slowly stopped in front of the camp.

To enter the Dark Land, one must obtain the permission of the knight jury. Just as Chu Ming was still thinking about how to find the Yunlei Knight of the Brick family in the camp to obtain the permission, a joyful voice sounded in the noisy crowd, passed into his ears.

"Brother Ren, here!"

Chu Ming looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Milissa wearing a pair of silver streamlined armor, waving to him in the crowd.

He ordered the knights to settle their horses and walked towards the woman.

At this time, Milissa also gave up the argument with the knights in the camp, and came out to meet Chu Ming.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Melissa, are you practicing here alone?"

When the woman heard this, she said with regret: "A few members left here, and the previous knight team was disbanded. I'm still looking for a new team."

As she said that, the woman looked curiously at the knights who were rectifying behind Chu Ming, and asked, "Brother Ren, did you bring the knights here for training?"

She focused on the knights, and glanced suspiciously at the silver-black armor on the knights. She seemed to sense some changes in these knights.

Chu Ming replied with a smile: "They have made some breakthroughs recently, so I just brought them here to practice and get acquainted with the new power."

Mirissa looked straight at Chu Ming, and suddenly suggested: "Brother Ren, why don't I go in with you."

"I've been here for almost a month, and I'm fairly familiar with the Dark Lands. If the knights haven't seen dark creatures, they will..."

Before the woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Ming waving his hand. He chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, they have already seen the dark beast tide when they were still in the Violet Principality, and they handled it with ease."

"But since you want to enter the Dark Land with us, I welcome you very much. Anyway, I'm not very familiar with the situation inside."

Mirissa nodded, and explained to Chu Ming some precautions for entering inside.

After all the knights were ready, Chu Ming led Mirissa and the knights into the darkness on foot with a wave of his hand.

After a group of people walked a few hundred meters inside, the thin black mist gradually thickened, blocking the sunlight, making the light in the dark place extremely dim.

As Chu Ming walked along, he found that there were many landmarks left by the knights when they explored the dark land on the grass. In this way, as long as there is a map, even if you lose your way inside, you can find the way out through the landmarks.

Mirissa followed closely behind Chu Ming. While she was wary of the dark depths where the black mist was floating around, she asked Chu Ming, "Brother Ren, which area are you going to experience?"

Chu Ming said without hesitation: "The middle ground."

When the woman heard this, a surprised expression appeared on her face, "But there will be epic creatures appearing in the middle, they..."

She glanced at the knight behind her, and said in a low voice, "Isn't it a little dangerous if I haven't reached the epic?"

Chu Ming shook his head, "Trust me, their power is definitely beyond your imagination."

Hearing what Chu Ming said, Mirissa felt a strong curiosity in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she just said: "Then let's go to the grassland area in the middle, the grassland area is more expensive than the Blackthorn Forest. It’s a lot safer, and if something goes wrong, other knights can rush over quickly.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, then I'll go west."

Led by Mirissa, Chu Ming and the others crossed the landmarks, casually dealt with a few chaotic deer that didn't have long eyes on the way, and entered the middle ground smoothly.

The more people walked inside, the more frequently dark creatures appeared, and the strength of these dark creatures also changed a lot. Soon, they were blocked by a group of profane black wolves covered with bone spurs.

"Bah..."

Blood lights lit up in the darkness, and dozens of dark blue blasphemous black wolves surrounded the knights with bone spurs and rotting flesh. They bared their teeth and looked fierce, as if they would attack the knights at any time .

"I don't remember any black wolves roaming here."

Milissa frowned, she subconsciously put her hand on the hilt of the sword, trying to pull out the long sword.

At this moment, Chu Ming pressed her arm.

"Brother Ren?"

Milissa looked at Chu Ming puzzled.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Let's leave these little troubles to the knight."

As he spoke, he turned his head and told the knight behind him, "Everyone is free to attack, I don't need to live."

The knights nodded cautiously. They fixed their gazes on the dark creatures in front of them, thinking of the companions they had lost in the Thorn Flower County. Their noses were sore for a while, and their eyes were ignited with a raging hatred that could devour the darkness.

Miguel yelled: "Brothers, kill these damn dark creatures!"

After the man's voice fell, he was the first to rush out.

The magic pattern on his body quickly lit up, and the golden fire burning on his body was dyed with the sharpness of the golden element.

Under the blessing of extreme power, the fine steel long sword in his hand burst into dazzling light.

He swung his hands forward vigorously, and a black wolf that was rushing towards him rushed to touch the blade of the sword, as if it had been melted by high temperature, it was split from the middle of the head, the body melted into two, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

The knights attacked the black wolf one after another. The golden flames burning on their bodies dispelled the surrounding darkness and reflected the blood-colored pupils of the black wolf, bringing them extreme fear.

However, these black wolves are also smart, knowing the strength of the knights in front of them, and seeing the chief wolf howling, the pack of wolves ignored them and surrounded Miguel in clusters, as if they wanted to drive him into the pack of wolves The knights were the first to kill.

"Be careful."

Seeing this scene, Milissa couldn't help but exclaimed.

At this critical moment, Nathan, who hadn't participated in the battle, moved. He stretched out his palm and pressed it in the air, and the invisible wave brought a rich blood-like red color and quickly swept towards the knights.

Dozens of radiant blood-colored stars lit up on Miguel's body, and the blood color interlocked, and a pair of blood-colored armor condensed and appeared on Miguel's body.

The sharp claws of the black wolf landed on him one after another, and in just a split second, the newly condensed blood-colored armor shattered under the tearing force of the claws.

However, the Scarlet Armor had already completed its mission and bought some time for Miguel. He swung the shining golden sword around his body, and the bone spurs on the six black wolves were shattered and fell to the ground in two. superior.

It's just that the life of the dark creatures is too tenacious. Even if their bodies were broken in two, they still didn't die. They lay on the ground and twitched their bodies, opening their big mouths full of disordered fangs, trying to bite down on Miguel's thigh. Here comes a piece of meat.

The man looked indifferent, stepped forward, and stepped on the head of the black wolf. The metal boots directly crushed the head, splashing red and white things, and was quickly burned to death by the raging fire.

After Miguel escaped from the siege, the other knights quickly came over and ruthlessly killed all these dark blue black wolves like chopping melons and vegetables.

In the meantime, a black wolf escaped from the control of the head wolf because it was too frightened, and wanted to escape to the depths of the black wolf. Unexpectedly, the knight's arm trembled, and the long sword with golden flames came out of his hand, directly killing it. nailed to the grass.

Gradually, the sound of the black wolf's wailing disappeared. Mirissa looked at the knights standing around the black wolf's corpse, and suddenly felt a sense of strangeness in her heart.

Milissa had been in the mercenary guild for a long time. Originally, she thought she had fully understood these knights, but the madness of the knights when they faced the dark creatures today shocked her.

And no matter what, these black wolves are also the top hunters in the deep blue layer, and they didn't expect to be solved by them so easily.

Thinking of this, Mirissa's eyes revealed complex emotions.

Chu Ming glanced at the woman, and said with a smile: "This is just a warm-up, just because these black wolves can't let them use their full strength."

In fact, even without relying on the power of burning will, Miguel and the others are the top existences among the dark blue knights.

Although they couldn't challenge Epic with deep blue strength like Chu Ming did, it was very easy to just bully the dark creatures below Epic.

Every single one of them has the strength of other knight leaders. One can imagine how terrifying a knight team composed of such knights is.

Not to mention invincible, at least in the Kingdom of Clinton, where there are many extraordinary knights, it is also a very top existence.

The epic knights above the Burning Knights are only capitalized by the Brick family and the royal family in the Kingdom of Clinton, and the top knights of other small families cannot even be compared with the Burning Knights.

Chu Ming walked up to the crowd, looked at the crowd who gradually calmed down, and said calmly, "Keep your fiery heart, but don't be blinded by hatred."

"This is the last indulgence I give you. Next, without my order, you must not attack dark creatures at will. I don't want anyone to lose their minds because of chasing dark creatures."

Miguel put the long sword back into the scabbard, bowed his head respectfully to Chu Ming and said, "Commander, I understand."

The other knights also bowed their heads and said, "Yes, Captain."

Chu Ming stared at the crowd for a long time before he said, "Very well, pack up the materials on the dark creature, and follow me."

After speaking, he returned to Mirissa's side and led the Knights to continue walking into the darkness.

Ten minutes later, they went deep into the middle of the dark land, the grass on the ground gradually turned yellow, and the black mist was gradually mixed with gray mist. Chu Ming felt a strange and chaotic atmosphere in it.

"Brother Ren, wait a minute, there seem to be many people over there."

Mirissa pointed to the depths of the black mist, and she whispered: "In the dark land, there are often knights or knights who will bully other weak Transcendents and ask them to pay protection fees. Start the killing ring."

Chu Ming's heart moved, "Does the family not care?"

Mirissa shook her head and said, "Our Yunlei Knights have been maintaining order in the Dark Land, but there is no law and morality here, and we are small, so it is difficult to control it."

"Even if a knight is missing inside, if there is no evidence that other knights took action, we will assume that the knight was killed by a dark creature."

"So if we meet knights in the dark place, we'd better investigate the situation, maintain order, and reduce the occurrence of such incidents."

"Of course, we'd better not reveal the identity of Knight Yunlei, otherwise those guys with evil intentions will run away when they see the thunder light."

"Masquerading as a knight with a lot of dark biological material, malicious people will take the bait themselves."

Suddenly, Chu Ming ordered the knights to fill cloth bags with soil, pretending to be full of spoils of war.

……

In the depths of darkness, in front of the black thorn forest.

puff!

The long sword tore through the armor, and blood gushed out from the knight. The knight was covered with his mouth, and with a click, his neck was twisted abruptly.

After the murderer had done all this, he threw the body on the ground like garbage.

A ray of fire rose from his fingertips, illuminating his scarred face.

He lit the pipe in his mouth with a flame, and exhaled a long puff of white smoke.

In front of the man, there were knight corpses lying all over the ground, and his knights were groping around on the corpses.

After a while, a knight came forward and reported respectfully: "Report to Lord Soba, we found some antlers of a chaotic deer."

When Soba heard the words, the scars on his face wrinkled directly, and he cursed: "A bunch of trash knights have entered the middle ground, and they just brought such a smack, wasting my time for nothing."

The man was furious, and the knight in front of him bowed his head and dared not speak.

Suddenly, at this moment, a knight rushed to Soba, "My lord, it seems that there are knights approaching us."

"Huh?" Soba brought a pipe and raised his eyebrows, "Is it from the Brick family?"

The knight shook his head and said, "I haven't seen this knight order in the Dark Land. They should come from the city of Sauron. They are well equipped and carry a lot of materials."

Soba paused, "What did you say, they carried a lot of materials?"

The knight bit the bullet and nodded: "That's right...but they look very powerful. The two leaders have a terrifying aura, and they seem to be epic."

"As for the Cavaliers behind, I don't see it very clearly. They should be quite strong."

Soba fixed his eyes, pushed the knight away, and walked towards the direction where Chu Ming and the others were. He looked into the distance and saw dozens of vague figures in the black mist, and one of them seemed very familiar to him.

"That's the female knight of the Brick family?!"

This female knight had been active in the core area of ​​the Dark Land before, but many looting knights who encountered her were unlucky and were directly captured by the knight jury.

If this woman knows that they are killing knights here, she will definitely not spare them.

The man's face changed, and he instinctively wanted to step back.

At this time, a thick voice sounded beside him, and a knight who was more than two meters tall and looked like a little giant walked over with a gloomy expression.

"Didn't you notice that this woman's knight squad has been disbanded, and they only have two epics now."

"And we... have four."

Behind the iron tower giant, two knights with icy faces came out of the black mist.

Soba was taken aback, "Mar, what do you want to do?"

The giant sneered, "Don't you think this is an opportunity?"

"In the dark land, even if the epic is dead, it is a normal thing."

"We just need to kill them and feed the corpses to those monsters. No one will know that we did it."

Soba had an incredulous look on his face, and cursed, "Mar, are you crazy?"

He Soba only cares about money, he will definitely not touch such a risky thing, he is not so stupid yet.

Mal stared at the man and persuaded: "They have a lot of precious materials on them, after finishing this ticket..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Soba's sneer, "Mar, I think you want to avenge your good-for-nothing brother who was captured and judged by the knight jury."

Mal was stung by Soba, and his tone became cold.

"Soba, either catch that woman with me, or die."

Soba's face became cloudy and uncertain. He looked at the two epic knights behind the man, and saw them staring at him with cold eyes as if they were looking at a dead man.

He cursed inwardly: "I knew I shouldn't have cooperated with these guys. This is troublesome."

Now that the situation is stronger than others, Soba can only nod in agreement with a black face.

Seeing that the man agreed, Mal's tone became gentler, "Soba, the matter is successful, we will share half of the materials with you."

"But if..." His tone became cold again, "If you dare to betray halfway, I will be the first to pull you back."
