king of the castle

Chapter 09: The Traitor This chapter is free

The black knight Lear rode a bone horse, looking coldly at Van Doren's corpse and several skeletons that had been turned into pieces. 【】Although they are all subordinates of the leader, Lear is not very worthy of necromancer apprentices.In the eyes of the Black Knight, Van Doren is just a coward who only dares to hide behind the skeleton and play tricks.When a true brave man meets an enemy, he will not hide behind his companions.

Of course, even if he doesn't like Van Doren, Lear still has to obey the leader's order to find the murderer and bring his soul back.The two bone dogs were sniffing hard around Van Doren's corpse, and then the soul fires in their eyes suddenly lit up, and they ran forward along the road.

"All follow!" Lear raised his black-gloved hand and gave the order, and then took the lead in urging his horse to follow.Behind it were a dozen skeleton warriors and a few zombies, running in the direction where Roger left.

Roger didn't know that he had been targeted by undead creatures, and he only wanted to go to the safe Rose Castle first to avoid the limelight.Under the leadership of Mike, he and others embarked on a rough and difficult path and slowly moved towards Rose Castle.

As a hunter, Mike was very familiar with this terrain, and took everyone to a cave for camping after the sky darkened.The cave was as big as a basketball court, and even Roger and the others came in without feeling the slightest bit crowded.

Alan and the others were very conscious of being servants, and they were busy building the camp without waiting for Roger's orders.

The women found long grass nearby to make temporary beds, and gave Roger all the softest and driest long grass.Mike had already lit a bonfire in the cave, and then took several men to find food.A woman made some hot tea, and asked Lisa to deliver it to Roger first. Everyone was not blind, and it was found that the master had a very good impression of the girl, so the task of serving Roger personally was naturally entrusted to her.

"Master, please drink tea." Lisa carefully handed the tin cup containing hot tea to Roger and said, "It's not hot anymore."

"Ah, thank you!" Roger took a sip from the cup. Although the taste of the tea was mediocre, it felt very good to him.

From the beginning of camping to the present, Roger has not even moved a finger, but he has already been lying on the dry and soft long grass, warming himself by the fire and drinking tea.Moreover, there was a pretty and pleasant maid serving him beside him. He didn't even think about such treatment when he was in another world.

"Hey... now we can be regarded as enjoying the noble treatment." Seeing Lisa's pretty face flushed by the fire, Roger couldn't help but secretly sighed: "The decision to allow these people to follow me was really correct! "

Just when Roger was sighing, Mike and a few people had already hunted a giant horned deer and came back.The others immediately got busy helping Mike handle the prey. Although Roger didn't do anything at all, the best piece of meat would definitely be delivered to him first after it was roasted.

Seeing everyone busy, Roger was in a good mood.He needs a lot of materials to build the castle, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the strength of one person alone.But if you can gather a group of hard-working men, then this is not a problem, and this also made Roger plan to recruit more men.But right now he doesn't even have a safe foothold, and this plan can only be implemented slowly in the future.

Just as Roger was planning for the future, a warning suddenly rose in his heart.Knowing that it was the spear militiamen he had arranged outside the cave who had discovered the danger, Roger quickly shouted: "Everyone be careful!"

As the warning sound echoed in the cave, the spear militia who had been standing by the cave had formed a defensive formation under Roger's command, protecting everyone behind them.It was only at this time that the others came to their senses and stopped their work one after another. They looked at Roger with a dignified expression in puzzlement, wondering why he lost his composure all of a sudden.

At this time, Roger didn't have time to explain to others. He nervously looked at the hole, and as long as there was any threat, he would order the spear militia to attack without hesitation.

In the unsettling silence a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, making everyone uneasy.But many breathed a sigh of relief as he walked slowly into the lighted range of the campfire.Quite a few people already knew what he looked like, and knew that this young man named Vader was also one of Roger's followers.

"Vad, didn't you go looking for food with others, why did you come back alone?" A man familiar with Vader went up to him and asked, "Others..."

The man's voice stopped abruptly, and a sharp arrow shot out from the darkness behind Vader, directly piercing his chest.The man stared wide-eyed at the sharp arrow's tail feathers on his chest, fell to the ground in astonishment and struggled for a while, then swallowed his last breath.

While the man was struggling in pain, a group of undead creatures walked into the cave silently.These undead creature skeleton warriors accounted for the vast majority, and there were also a few zombies mixed in, and the most eye-catching ones were the two skeleton archers holding short bows. The arrow just now must have been shot by one of them.

And behind these undead creatures, a knight wearing black leather armor and riding a bone horse slowly walked in.Although his face was completely covered by the same black helmet, the light blue soul fire in his eye sockets was constantly jumping.The knight exuded an aura of coercion all over his body, making everyone who saw him feel as if a big stone had been crushed in his heart.

This sudden change stunned Roger's followers. Everyone was surprised at this scene, and no one knew what to say.

"Vader... you brought these undead creatures." Roger was the calmest of all, and he said slowly: "How dare you betray me... Have you forgotten that you once swore to the Supreme God? What?!"

In the world of Turonzo, the gods are not just legends but real ones, so the oaths made to them are also very binding.Hearing Roger's scolding, Vader also thought of the terrible consequences of breaking the oath, and his bad face turned even paler.

However, Vader quickly thought of the terrifying existence behind him, and the imminent danger to him was obviously more terrifying than the high gods.Thinking of this, Vader's face became better, and he said to Roger with a shy face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, although I have sworn an oath, but life is the most important thing. The knight has already agreed, as long as I take him If I find you, let me continue to live!"

Vader's words immediately attracted everyone's contemptuous gaze.It is already despicable to betray others for the sake of his own life, but he still shamelessly said it in public, his character is really bad.

Vader was a little uneasy at first by everyone's reaction, but soon became better at the thought that they would soon be killed along with Roger.

"No matter what you think, I don't care anyway!" Vader said triumphantly to the others: "You will be killed soon, but I can still live, that's the most important thing!"

Looking at the proud Vader, Roger felt that he was very pitiful.It is more realistic to believe that the undead creatures will keep their promises, but it is more practical to expect the Supreme God to come suddenly to save everyone.But of course Roger was not in the mood to explain this truth to Vader, he just gave him a contemptuous look, and then focused all his attention on the guy on the bone horse.

Speaking of which, Roger has dealt with undead creatures several times, but none of them put him under such great pressure like this knight in black armor.Roger instinctively felt that this guy would be the first formidable enemy he encountered after coming to the world of Torenzo.

This undead creature riding a horse is the black knight Lear. He followed Roger all the way here, and met Vader and several others not far away.After witnessing his companions being killed by undead creatures, Vader betrayed the others for his life.That's why Lear was able to find this cave quickly, and at this time he was also looking at Roger with curious eyes.

The black knight with rich combat experience came out at a glance, and Roger was the leader of these humans.Moreover, those spear militiamen also made Lear feel a little threatened, and felt that the strength of this human being could really kill Van Doren.

While Roger and Lear were looking at each other, Vader couldn't stay still.He didn't want to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly walked to the black knight and said with a flattering smile, "Master Knight, I have already brought you here, can you let me live as we agreed?"

Lear glanced at Vader silently, then nodded without saying a word.

"Thank you, thank you!" Vader happily thanked the black knight, then turned around and walked out of the cave.

However, before Vader took two steps, he heard a ghastly voice behind him: "Flesh and blood are drawn away!"
