Heart of the Castle

Chapter 280 Identity Exposure, Death Knight

Lord Cedric's words made Sir Lidwan frown, "Your Excellency the Northern Territory Commander, I cannot agree." The Lord of Greencastle resolutely refused and said: "Any questioning and verification of my identity is against me and myself. The greatest slander of the entire Greencastle."

The commander-in-chief of the northern border was not a person who was easy to accept and reject. He shook his gray hair and took a step forward. "As I said just now, if this is Levi Stern's slander against you, we will all stand on your side and declare him defeated in the duel before the gods. But now, Sir Ridwan, accept the verification and clear everyone's hearts." It is your duty to fulfill your doubts.”

Sir Ridwan hesitated for a moment, with a confused expression on his face. Brother Ace Pross saw that something was wrong, so he immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words in Sir Ridwan's ear.When he straightened up, the expression on Ser Lydvan's face disappeared.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Territory, your choice violates the rules of the duel before the gods, and also violates justice and justice, which makes me very disappointed." The Lord of Greencastle said in a cold voice: "But I decided to accept the so-called verification. , I hope you can remember your promise just now."

"Of course I remember, and am always ready to defend my words with my sword," said Lord Cedric sternly. "The gods are watching us."

"The gods are watching us!" The priest with the mask symbolizing the Father God shouted loudly, and then almost everyone replied in a murmur, "The gods are watching us."

Li Wei took two steps forward, and moved the white ball of light towards Sir Ridwan. Sir Ridwan stretched out his right hand wearing a chain glove, and when he touched the ball of light, his body seemed to instinctively flinched.

Everyone looked at Sir Lidwan intently, hoping to see any abnormality from him, but to everyone's disappointment, although Sir Lidwan's expression was stiff, there was no abnormality.There was neither the melting of limbs like a zombie splashed with holy water, nor the hoarse and ugly screams like a ghost injured by divine magic.

"Levi Ston, now that Sir Ridwan's identity has been verified, do you have anything else to say?" Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Sir Ridwan, Lord Cedric looked back Levi said.

Li Wei pointed at Sir Lidwan with his sword, "I have nothing to say, the facts have proved my words!"

Before the young knight could finish his sentence, the Lord of Greencastle, who had been standing still ever since he came into contact with the white light, suddenly trembled all over his body. The movement was so loud that even the armor on his body made a rattling sound.

"What happened?" Lord Cedric widened his eyes, looking in surprise at the faint black aura emanating from the Lord of Greencastle, which made people feel uncomfortable. These black auras seemed to flow from his body endlessly. It flowed out, making his already dark green Dou Qi Tianhua deeper in color, and finally completely replaced by pitch black, only two spots of dark green still stubbornly burning in the core of Dou Qi.

However, that was not the green stone grudge, but Sir Lidwan's eyes, those eyes were now burning with dark green flames, and they had completely lost their human appearance.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Copman, the leader of the vassal knights, asked loudly in surprise.However, Sir Ridwan ignored him. The lord of Greencastle had dropped his sword, covered his face with his hands, and screamed intermittently.His whole body was shaking violently, and some parts of the armor that were not fastened could no longer withstand the violent shaking, and fell down crackling, like the fallen fruits and leaves on an oak tree shaking in a strong wind Same.

Although he was mentally prepared, Li Wei still felt a burst of sadness. He silently stuck the knight sword on the ground, stroked the hilt with both hands, and bowed his head to the figure who was once a knight.

This is the etiquette usually used at knights' funerals. Lord Cedric's eyes twitched twice, and he asked in surprise, "Levi Ston, what did you do to Sir Ridwan?"

These words sounded from the opposite side almost at the same time. Ace Pross, a resting Templar in black armor, pressed his hand on the hilt of his waist, and his young and handsome face seemed a little distorted due to excitement.

"It's just a healing technique. His Excellency has personally experienced it just now." Li Wei said lightly.

"The healing technique will never make Sir Ridwan like this! Because I have already made him..." Brother Ace Pross suddenly closed his mouth, with a regretful expression on his face.

"You have asked him to condense the power of the undead on his arm, and use the mutual canceling characteristics of the two energies of the holy and the undead to offset the damage of the healing magic, right?" Li Wei told him, "It's a pity that , You don’t know, this healing technique of mine is a bit different from the normal divine healing technique, it won’t cause harm to undead creatures.”

Brother Ace Pross showed an unbelievable expression, and at the same time there was a faint cracking sound in the middle of his body, followed by a line of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.Brother Ace Pros knew very well that this belonged to the backlash force that erupted after a dark spell was destroyed, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Ku Xi is on top, how can mind control..."

"No, what's wrong with me?"

A wail came from the mouth of the lord of Greencastle. Sir Lidwan took his hands away from his face, and the exposed face immediately made everyone who saw it exclaim in unison!
"Gods! What is this?"

"My merciful Father God, save this rotten soul!" The priest in the white mask stepped back half a step, pointed at Sir Ridwan and shouted, "This is the death knight!"

That's right, the current Sir Ridwan is no different from those legendary loyal servants of the dead, the betrayers of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.The dou qi power as dark as the night, the mottled and broken pale skin, the eyes burning with green light, the hair withered like grass, and the death breath so strong that people want to vomit are completely the most standard death. knight.

Sir Lidwan lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his hands. Those hands were originally strong and powerful, and every muscle on them seemed to have been tempered a thousand times of hard labor, and he was eager to continue to endure thousands of times.But now these hands have become as skinny as dried chicken paws, and the skin is peeled off, revealing the dry muscles of the sauce purple underneath!

These are a pair of dead hands!
The lord of Greencastle raised his head and let out a terrifying roar. The madness and anger contained in the voice were so strong that it was creepy.Immediately afterwards, the fighting spirit of the same color as the night sky bloomed, Sir Ridwan turned around, and swooped towards Brother Ace Pross standing behind him.

The young Resting Templar frowned, drew his sword across his chest, and sternly yelled at Sir Ridwan.

"Ser Lydwan, are you mad?"

Of course, Brother Ace Pross could not know that Li Wei's healing technique was endowed by the Heart of the Castle. Although it looks similar to divine power, it is actually a kind of mild energy, which is also effective for undead creatures. It has the effect of healing, and also has the effect of dispelling negative states.

Among them is Brother Ace Pross' control over Sir Ridwan.

"Death!" Sir Lidwan's answer was concise and powerful. His long sword tore through the void, and a dark green sword light slashed towards Brother Ace Pross's head like a thunderbolt.

With a flash of pale grudge, Brother Ace Pross barely resisted Sir Ridwan's onslaught, but his whole body was shaken and he staggered back, and he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.

"In the name of Kushimo! Stop for me..." Brother Ace Pross' voice was interrupted by a sword cry, and Sir Ridwan's second sword followed, and the resting Templar had no choice but to bow down Dodging, the next words choked in his throat.

"What's going on here? How could Sir Ridwan go crazy?" Lord Cedric was stunned by the scene in front of him, and the expressions of the other lords and representatives were similar.

"This is the real Sir Ridwan." Li Wei sighed and said, "The one just now is just a controlled necromancer puppet."

Sir Ridwan had completely lost his aristocratic demeanor. He roared like a wild beast, slashed violently with his long sword like a storm, and launched a fierce attack on Brother Ace Pross recklessly.It was very difficult for the Knights of the Rest Templar to parry. On the one hand, his fighting spirit power had only reached the level of scattered fighting spirit, which was slightly inferior to that of the Lord of Greencastle; Falling behind.Brother Ace Pross's movements became more and more difficult, but Sir Ridwan's slashing became more and more violent. One of the sword lights flashed across the helmetless head of the resting Templar, causing a shattered hair Floating in the air.

"Damn it!" Brother Ace Pross suddenly roared angrily, and then he suddenly backed up, so fast that even the sword light from Sir Ridwan's pursuit could not touch his body.The resting Templar stood still more than ten meters away. The muscles on his gentle and elegant face trembled, and his expression changed subtly.

Although it seemed that his appearance hadn't changed much, the aura emanating from his bones had undergone an earth-shaking change.All along, this young man in gray-black armor has always looked very stable, with a gentle smile on his lips. Although his demeanor is a bit gloomy, it fits the identity of a Templar in Rest who believes in the Instructor of Eternal Sleep.

But now, no one would associate him with the Templars in Rest. The arc of the corner of his mouth remained unchanged, but it became extraordinarily evil, as if it contained an indescribable deep-seated hatred for life.Li Wei had anticipated this change in temperament, and Lord Cedric immediately turned pale with fright, and blurted out a terrible name.

"Sue the dead!"

After changing into the temperament of the deceased, Brother Ace Pross' original blue eyes also mutated, completely losing the shape of the pupils and the whites of the eyes, but turned into pure darkness like an abyss that cannot see the bottom. "In the name of Ku Ximo! Dead man, stop!" A deep voice came out of his mouth, with a gloomy taste, and those who heard the voice couldn't help but take a step back. It feels like the hairs are standing on end.

The body of the Lord of Greencastle who was rushing towards him shook violently, then let out a painful roar, and staggered.Brother Ace Pross gave an order again with a low growl, and Sir Ridvan's helmet exploded in response, and black and foul-smelling blood seeped out from his facial features, looking very terrifying.

Sir Ridwan stopped in his footsteps, and the dark green light in his eyes dimmed first, and then burned again.His body turned around, and several unexplained growls came out of his mouth.

"This is blasphemy!" Lord Cedric yelled angrily, and he stretched out his hand towards the crowd. Captain Baroque hurriedly threw the heavy long-handled battle ax over.Lord Cedric took it firmly in his hand, then rotated it twice on his head, and pointed the sharp ax blade at Brother Ace Pross.

"Evil accuser, die!"

The sound of hundreds of long swords being unsheathed at the same time resounded over the hills, all the lords and knights drew their weapons, and surrounded the black armored knights in a circle formed by the blades.Only the few Greencastle vassal knights were a little at a loss. Their hands were already on the hilt of their swords, but they didn't think about which side they should draw their swords towards.

"The black armored knight... is the enemy!" Copman's knight shouted, but his warning came too late. The black armored knight standing side by side with the vassal knights suddenly mobilized, and a black armored knight slashed a group of people with fierce chops. One vassal knight slashed from the top of his head to his chest, and the other pierced his sword into the back of his companion just now, the blade pierced through the armor and flesh, and the vassal knight let out a hoarse scream, The body fell forward, motionless.

In the blink of an eye, the four vassal knights of the Greencastle fell to the ground one by one and died. Only the Copman knight escaped from the plot and swung his sword to fight the black armored knight who attacked him.

There were only eight knights in gray-black armor, but there were more than 100 knights and soldiers surrounding them, and it seemed that they should gain an overwhelming advantage.However, as soon as the two sides clashed, a series of screams came from the camp with a larger number of people.

No one can describe the horror of those black armored knights.

It wasn't their fighting spirit that caused huge casualties in an instant. Although each of the black-armored knights was at the level of a high-level knight, the knights surrounding them were all experienced fighters. They covered each other and launched attacks. Confidence can chop these black armored knights into pieces.

The result of the confrontation between the eight long swords and various weapons several times higher was extremely tragic. Those black-armored knights seemed to know nothing about defense. The long swords in their hands could only attack but not defend. Weapons are engulfed in it.The black-armored knight in the front was thrust into the gap of the breastplate by several long swords at the same time, and a long spear pierced through the lower abdomen of the black-armored knight next to him, and then a flail slammed hard, making a muffled sound, The helmet of the black armored knight was smashed in, and the black blood splashed out from the gap of the helmet along with the fragments of the bones.

The other black-armored knights were more or less traumatized, but none of them really fell down.Pale grudges lit up along with the violent howling of the sword, followed by screams of surprise or fear.Whether it was the one whose helmet was shattered, or the one who was pierced by several long swords, these black armored knights all launched a counterattack swiftly and fiercely chopped down those opponents who had just breathed a sigh of relief.

This is simply a hopeless battle.

The knights of the Lord's United Army are not cowards, but they can only retreat step by step in the face of these unkillable enemies.Because neither fighting spirit nor sophisticated weapons are of any use, those black-armored knights grinned grinningly and pulled out the pierced spears and sword blades from their bodies, just like pulling out an insignificant thorn .

But then it was the turn of those black-armored knights to retreat, because under the command of Knight Hall, a group of militiamen wearing only leather armor surrounded them. The front end was blazing.

After the flames appeared, the black-armored knight had to retreat. The militiamen who formed the phalanx of spears covered each other very skillfully. The burning spears were densely stacked without gaps, and each pointed at the black-armored knight. body of.

Seeing that the black-armored knights were more afraid of flames than swords, the knights of the lord's coalition also came to their senses. They took the torches from the surrounding soldiers and inserted their sharp long swords back into their waists.After a few breaths, the circle of flames closed behind the black-armored knights, firmly surrounding these guys.

"Die, death knights, there is no escape for you!" cried Sir Chillavala, in armor of shining bronze and the emblem of the burning volcano on his chest.

Hearing these words, those black-armored knights glanced at each other, suddenly roared wildly in unison, and then separated three of the most severely injured ones to rush towards the phalanx of burning spears, and the other five black-armored knights simultaneously Turn around and rush towards the weakest part of the encirclement behind you.

The black-armored knight, who was still afraid of the flames just now, rushed over without hesitation in the blink of an eye, which caught everyone in the encirclement by surprise. Some knights holding torches drew back, while others wanted to attack head-on. They couldn't see each other at all. There is no tacit understanding.The sword light of the black-armored knight passed by like a waterfall, and sawdust flew along with sparks. The arms of the two knights were cut off together with the torches, and they fell to the ground screaming.The other knights retreated one after another, trying to avoid the edge temporarily.

The black-armored knights didn't care about fighting at all. After they rushed out of the encirclement, they ran towards the Green Castle without stopping, without any intention of rushing towards their companions in the phalanx of spears.

But the three black armor knights really don't need to respond.

They rushed up like moths to a flame, cut off a few spears, but were stabbed by more spears. Unexpectedly, as soon as those black armored knights touched the flames on the spears , they were devoured by the violently burning flames, as if what flowed in their bodies was not blood, but kerosene that caught fire.

It is difficult to use proper words to describe the appearance of the death knights engulfed by the flames. They roared horribly while stumbling around with flames all over their bodies. He wanted to extinguish the flame, but actually it burned even more violently.Their hair burned like straw, and the skin on their faces curled up like a piece of paper, and then the maroon muscles melted and fell off, revealing the white skull underneath.

In less than a minute, the struggle of the three death knights was over. They collapsed on the ground like broken puppets, their limbs twisted into a ball, and the fat oozed from the muscles and bones like frozen tears, emitting There was a violent crackling sound.

"Master Li Wei just reminded me that fear of flames and holy light are the only two weaknesses of the legendary death knight." Knight Hall looked at the burning corpses with disgust and fear, his voice He explained to everyone in a low voice.
