Heart of the Castle

Chapter 159 News of the Demon Army

"No! Never!"

Even though a full-face helmet blocked the line of sight so that others could not see his suddenly pale face, one could tell from Pammy's terrified voice that the butler's son was completely frightened.

"Master Herbert, what kind of duel in front of the gods is something that people with broken brains go back to do. I'm not stupid. To fight with that Li Wei, isn't it going to die?" Fear made Pamy speak indiscriminately. , His words made all the knights, including Herbert, narrow their eyes, showing cold eyes.

"By the way, I'm not a knight yet. I've just reached the level of a 4th-level fighter. Sir Herbert, only knights are eligible to accept the challenge of a duel before the gods, right?" Pammy suddenly remembered a rule of the duel before the gods , and suddenly shouted as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"You are right, but since you are not a knight, please don't continue to wear the armor of Ston Knight, lest the soul of this heroic knight be ashamed!" Herbert looked at Papa with stern eyes. Mi, said every word, then he turned around and faced Li Wei.

"Li Wei, Pammy rejected the proposal of a duel in front of the gods. He has given up his qualification to inherit the inheritance of Knight Ston. As the Grand Knight Commander, under the witness of all knights, I declare that you are qualified to inherit the sword and armor of Knight Ston .”

The voice of the old knight set off cheers in both camps, but Levi didn't look happy. His eyes were fixed on Herbert's face, and he asked in a voice just enough for the other party to hear: " So, Lord Herbert, are you going to announce the next decision?"

A look of hesitation and pain flashed across Herbert's face, and the next words seemed to make him feel hard to say. No matter in terms of the knight's creed or the concept of justice that he has always adhered to, Viscount Lane's order is against it. yes, however...

"During the time of the catastrophe, there can only be one leader in this territory, and only one voice can be heard! Your Excellency the Viscount's orders must be carried out, so..." Every word Herbert uttered seemed to need to be used. With all his strength, he didn't know whether he was giving an ultimatum to Levi or convincing himself.But when he said the last few words, the voice of the Grand Knight Commander suddenly changed.

A thing that was so fast that its shape could hardly be seen swooped out from the dense forest, and it seemed to land right in front of Herbert. The battle-tested Grand Knight Commander didn't look surprised at all, and his right shoulder flew quickly. With a twitch, the silver sharp sword let out a sharp cry, and it greeted the phantom pounced like lightning.

"Meow!"

The sound of cat meowing seemed to be magnified dozens of times, and the phantom actually turned in the air, avoiding Herbert's lightning-like sword light, only the tip of the tail was swept to a point by the sword light, a cluster of Mottled hair fluttered down.

The phantom bounced off the ground, and landed next to Li Wei. Only then did everyone see the true face of the phantom. It was a very vigorous bobcat with several scorched black marks on its fur with beautiful patterns. The green eyes looked at Herbert viciously, baring out his sharp teeth.

"You raised this cat?" Herbert asked in disbelief.When he saw Li Wei nodding his head in acknowledgment, the Grand Knight Commander's heart suddenly sank.

The big lynx known as the jungle predator is not a beast that can be subdued casually. This kind of jungle king has an extremely rebellious character, and it is difficult for some experienced rangers or druids to appease its emotions.

On the open plains of Yimapingchuan, the big lynx can be regarded as a difficult opponent to deal with, but a high-level knight is enough to deal with it.But if the battlefield is placed in the dense forest where it is active, it is difficult to say that even a great knight commander like Herbert, who is experienced and amazing in swordsmanship, has any certainty of victory.

Herbert hesitated in his heart, and for the first time his confidence in completing Viscount Lane's order was shaken.Judging from the strength currently displayed by Li Wei, it is enough to fight against the Crusade Army, not to mention that there are still terrible differences within the Crusade Army. It's hard to say.

More importantly, the crusade army led by Herbert this time is already equivalent to half of the combat power stationed in the Viscount's Castle. If there is a fierce battle with Li Wei here, regardless of the outcome, the defense force of the Viscount's Castle will inevitably It will be greatly reduced, and the next offensive of the demon army may be even more difficult to resist.

While the Grand Knight Commander was hesitating, Li Wei, who was stroking the big bobcat's cute head and listening to something, suddenly became very ugly.

"Lord Herbert, a large number of demons are marching in the dense forest, and it seems that their goal is here." Levi said as calmly as possible, but the trembling voice still exposed the tension in his heart. "It's best for you to leave here now. As for the viscount's order, maybe these demons can complete it."

"The supreme Father God!" Herbert couldn't help blurting out, "How do you know this?"

"Mengmeng and its subordinates encountered these demons in the dense forest, and fought fiercely." Li Wei stroked the burn marks on the big lynx. These marks were very shallow, and a fierce battle was coming. Li Wei thought twice, but still did not Spend extremely limited mana on healing Mengmeng's injuries.

"How many demons are there?" interrupted Dragonson.

"Innumerable, little demons, horned demons, hell dogs, winged demons, incinerators, almost all the demons that have ever appeared are included, and Mengmeng said that in the army of demons, there are more terrifying existences than the big demon. "Li Wei's voice was a little dry.

"Father God bless us! Could it be a demon noble that is more terrifying than the Great Demon?" A knight behind Herbert prayed loudly.

"Hahaha, Li Wei, this is the punishment God Father gave you!" Pammy jumped out excitedly when she heard the news that the demon army was approaching, "Master Herbert, let's get out of here quickly... ..."

"Why?" Herbert asked with an unusually cold voice.

"The army of demons is coming soon, let them crush those guys who dare to disobey the Viscount, won't this also fulfill His Excellency the Viscount's order?" Pammy obviously didn't hear the meaning in Herbert's voice. Chill, answering with a natural look.

"Shut your mouth!" Knight Templeton growled from behind, and Pammy looked back at him in confusion, "Master Templeton, is there something wrong with what I said?"

The fist with the iron glove slammed hard on Pammy's hawk-beaked visor, knocking the tall tip to one side.Pammy let out a scream, and staggered to the side, but Templeton Knight didn't let him go at all, and followed up with another punch, which smashed Pammy's helmet. The wing of the eagle on the left was broken off, looking in a panic.

"Master Herbert, Pammy may be talking nonsense because he has a fever. I have already taught him a lesson." After knocking Pammy to the ground, Knight Templeton rushed towards Hurlbert. Said loudly.

The elder Grand Knight Commander showed a cold smile, and slowly inserted the half-drawn saber from his waist back. "Your fist is well timed, Templeton," he said. "If you had been a little slower, I think I'd gladly behead a blasphemer. Now, go and warn him, if If I hear any words that blaspheme the Father, my long sword will never hesitate."

Templeton breathed a sigh of relief, dragged Pammy to the end of the crowd, and reprimanded her in a low voice.
