Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 151 Destruction
"There are still two Mechanical Apostle villages that need to be destroyed. Grand Duke Frost Eagle must be on guard, and the two strongholds must be heavily guarded." The old cat looked solemn, with deep worry in his tone. As he spoke, he pointed at the two marked locations on the map with his finger.

Everyone gathered around the map, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and everyone knew that the next task would be extremely difficult.

"Let's go directly to Nanshi Village." Gareth gave the action plan without hesitation.

"Why go to the farthest Nanshi Village?" Morey frowned, his eyes full of confusion. He shook the crystal staff in his hand, and the magic crystal on the top of the staff also flashed with puzzled light.

Not only is Nanshi Village far away, but according to intelligence, the terrain around it is complex, making it extremely difficult to approach it quietly and complete the sabotage mission.

"Because it's far away, it's easier to overlook," Gareth explained slowly, his finger moving slowly along the route to Nanshi Village on the map. "Although Grand Duke Frost Eagle has strong defenses, his energy is limited after all. He'll most likely deploy his main forces in strongholds closer to the core area, where they pose a greater threat."

Nanshi Village is remote, and in his opinion, the likelihood of us attacking it directly is minimal, so their defenses will be relatively relaxed. Furthermore, our surprise attack on Nanshi Village will disrupt their deployment rhythm, making it difficult for them to determine our next move.

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, savoring the profound meaning of Gareth's words.

After a moment, the old cat nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Gareth, you are indeed worthy of being the third seat. You have considered everything carefully. Although the journey is long, as long as we can achieve our goal, everything is worth it. According to your plan, we will head to Nanshi Village immediately."

Morey said no more and gently waved his staff to calm the surrounding magical fluctuations, expressing his agreement.

The rest of the people also had serious expressions, packed their equipment and prepared to set off.

The team struggled to march forward in the howling snow and wind, the biting cold wind scraping across their cheeks like a knife. The direction of Nanshi Village was completely blocked by a thick curtain of snow, with visibility less than ten meters, as if the whole world was swallowed up by this endless white.

The black cat on the old cat's shoulder had pure white eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate this harsh environment. It scanned the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any suspicious signs.

The staff in Morey's hand emitted a faint blue light. Although the light was not dazzling, it was like a moving lighthouse, guiding everyone in this confusing sea of ​​snow.

Robin stood in the middle of the team, trying hard to adapt to the power of order that he had just comprehended in his body.

This power was powerful yet unfamiliar. The dark red chain patterns under his skin occasionally flickered uncontrollably, as if reminding him that this power was still difficult to fully control.

Gareth and the Sun and Moon Guards formed a triangle formation, protecting Old Cat and Morey firmly in the center. Their armor flashed a cold light in the wind and snow, demonstrating their powerful strength and firm determination to protect.

"Something's wrong." Old Cat's voice suddenly broke the silence of the team, with unquestionable alertness in his tone.

Almost at the same time, the black cat on his shoulder's fur stood up and it let out a low roar. The sound was full of fear and anxiety, as if warning everyone of the impending danger.

In an instant, a subtle but creepy sound of metal friction was heard in the wind and snow.

"Click—click—"

The sound came from far away, with an even rhythm, like countless precise gears turning synchronously. It was infinitely amplified in the silent snow, striking everyone's nerves.

Before anyone could react, the snow curtain was suddenly torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and dozens of black shadows rushed towards them from all directions like lightning!
What caught everyone's eyes was not an ordinary hunting unit, but a group of terrifying mechanical wolves.

Their bodies were crafted from a pitch-black alloy, gleaming with a cold sheen in the dim light. Scarlet mechanical eyes were embedded in their joints, like blood-red lanterns, emitting an eerie glow.

Corrosive liquid continued to drip from its sharp fangs, instantly corroding holes in the snow.

What is even more terrifying is that their movements are so uniform, as if they were controlled by the same brain. Every pounce and turn is completely synchronized, as if they were one.

"Defensive formation!" Gareth's voice rang out like a bell, echoing in the wind and snow.

His silver-white heavy armor instantly lit up with golden runes, and powerful magical waves spread out.

In the blink of an eye, a hemispherical energy barrier unfolded in front of everyone, emitting a faint golden light.

The three mechanical wolves that rushed over first slammed into the barrier with a dull thud. They were directly bounced away by the powerful force and rolled several times on the snow before stopping.

Upon seeing this, Morey immediately raised his staff high, and the magic crystal burst out with dazzling starlight. He muttered, "Starfall!"

In an instant, dozens of blue beams of light fell from the sky like meteors chasing the moon, carrying powerful magical fluctuations and accurately hitting the mechanical wolf pack.

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the shock waves of the explosions were like a powerful hurricane, instantly overturning the surrounding snow and sending snowflakes flying all over the sky.

However, what was shocking was that the mechanical wolves that were hit only staggered a few steps, and their damaged bodies began to repair themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The broken limbs grew back and the destroyed parts were quickly reassembled. In just a moment, they regained their previous ferocious appearance and pounced on the crowd again.

"They have high-level regeneration cores!" Morey's face turned pale in an instant, and his voice was filled with shock and worry.

This means that conventional attacks are unlikely to cause substantial damage to these mechanical wolves.

"Half Moon Slash!" Robin shouted, and the power of order in his body surged, gathering along his arms and onto the Tang sword.

Unlike previous strikes that relied purely on life force, this strike carried the power of the law of order. A silver-blue arc of light swept out like lightning, instantly tearing the air apart and making a sharp whistling sound.

Wherever it passed, the mechanical wolf's seemingly indestructible regeneration core disintegrated directly like fragile glass under the crushing of the power of the law, exploding into countless fragments. The surrounding mechanical wolf parts scattered all over the ground, and the wolf body collapsed.

However, before everyone could catch their breath, more mechanical wolves emerged from the vast snow and wind like a tide, densely packed and seemingly endless. Their scarlet mechanical eyes flickered in the darkness, converging into a strange sea of ​​blood.

Seeing this, the old cat snorted coldly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

The black cat in his arms seemed to understand, and suddenly jumped high. Its body expanded rapidly in the air, and a thick dark aura surrounded it. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge shadow beast!
Its body is as huge as a mountain, and its limbs are thick and powerful. Every step it takes makes the ground tremble. Its bloody mouth is wide open, as if it can swallow everything in the world.
