Why is my anime art style so weird?

“I never had any expectations of them because I never trusted these mercenaries who were driven by profit from the beginning.”

Agguiwen said coldly:

"It's the same now."

"Oh?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Gao Wen's eyes.

Xu Ming and his companions had accomplished a tremendous feat by annihilating the army of mutated creatures, yet he sensed that his brothers had become even more wary and resistant towards these mercenaries.

Gawain couldn't understand it, and Agguiwen offered no explanation whatsoever.

Intrigue and scheming were still too difficult for Gawain.

Agraven stared at Xu Ming and the others below, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Since they have the power to easily wipe out an army of demonic creatures, they can naturally also easily wipe out all the undead.

They are a huge threat!

Agguwen thought to himself with absolute certainty.

After eliminating the last mutated creature, Xu Ming looked at the strange points on the system panel that had surged by more than 40,000 and nodded in satisfaction.

Whether you become cannon fodder on the battlefield or enjoy a hack-and-slash game while easily racking up points, it all comes down to skill.

"Mercenary, Lord Agguiwen requests your presence."

A Death Knight conveyed to Xu Ming a message that Agravwen had summoned him.

Xu Ming keenly noticed that the way the other person addressed him had changed.

"I'll go right away."

Xu Ming's eyes flashed, and while casually answering, he secretly pondered Agguiwen's thoughts.

In any case, after he had revealed his formidable strength, capable of completely influencing the outcome of a war, the relationship between the two sides had been completely transformed.

The originally clear superior-subordinate relationship has turned into a cooperative one, with Xu Ming even in a dominant position.

On his way to the central command tent, Xu Ming pondered how to maximize his gains.

Chapter 661 The Dead City of Camelot

"To Camelot?"

Xu Ming looked at the cold-faced man opposite him with some confusion.

After Xu Ming arrived at Agguiwen's camp with his shikigami, he did not expect Agguiwen to make such a request.

"Yes, given the magnitude of your achievements, rewarding you is beyond my authority as a commander, so I have reported your situation to Her Majesty the Queen."

Her Majesty the Queen has issued a decree inviting Your Excellency to Camelot. The Queen will personally bestow titles and honors upon Your Excellency.

"This……"

Is there a problem?

Seeing that Xu Ming seemed hesitant, Agguiwen asked coldly.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"No problem."

“Very well, then please accompany Lord Gawain on your journey now.”

Agguiwen immediately echoed Xu Ming's words.

"So fast?"

Xu Ming was somewhat surprised.

"After this battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses and should be unable to launch a large-scale offensive for the time being. That is why we need to take advantage of this gap to allow Your Excellency to return to Camelot to receive your investiture."

However, the war is not over yet, and the enemy may return at any time. We hope that after accepting the investiture, Your Excellency will return to the front line as soon as possible.

Furthermore, since Her Majesty the Queen has already issued an order, it would be impolite to keep a distinguished lady waiting.

"Okay, I'll leave now."

Xu Ming replied.

Although Agguiwen's explanation was reasonable and convincing, Xu Ming's intuition told him that the other party's purpose was not pure.

However, since the other party has not yet shown any hostility and their demands are reasonable, Xu Ming cannot accuse them based solely on intuition.

Xu Ming verbally agreed to Agguiwen's request, but secretly he kept his options open.

After leaving Agguwen's camp, Xu Ming found Gawain, who was fully prepared for battle, and followed his troops out of the undead legion's camp, heading towards the legendary Camelot.

Throughout the journey, Gao Wen was very talkative, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the front of the group from time to time, creating a joyful atmosphere.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that the entire group was quiet, with only Gao Wen's voice being heard.

Having already developed some suspicions, Xu Ming cautiously dealt with Gao Wen, naturally keeping his mouth shut.

Xu Ming's shikigami has nothing to say to Gawain.

Gawain's subordinates were all undead, so they wouldn't make a fuss.

Gawain, however, seemed completely unaware that the conversation had become awkward and continued to chatter on.

Time marched on with them, and two days passed quickly.

A huge and magnificent city appeared before Xu Ming's eyes.

Looking at the city gate not far away, Xu Ming, who had endured Gao Wen's nagging all the way, finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

We've finally arrived in Camelot.

As the group approached Camelot, Xu Ming suddenly noticed that the surroundings had darkened, as if they had stepped into a tent.

Xu Ming looked up in confusion.

It was still daytime just a moment ago, but after only a few steps, the sky above him was already filled with nebulae.

Night fell silently.

Noticing Xu Ming's confusion, Gao Wen offered an explanation:

"Her Majesty the Queen has set up a 'Dark Curtain' in Camelot, shrouding Camelot and the surrounding area in darkness forever."

Xu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"So that's how it is. It really is a magical spell."

While the undead are not as averse to sunlight as some 'weird' creatures, their strength is significantly reduced when exposed to sunlight.

Under the cover of the 'Dark Sky', the undead can unleash 100% of their combat power at any time.

The procession quickly arrived at the city gate.

Xu Ming raised his head and looked at the huge city gate, which was twenty or thirty meters high. Just by looking at the size of the city gate, it was as if it was used by a giant dragon to enter and exit. The city walls on the left and right sides could not be seen at all.

Only a world with extraordinary power could build such a magnificent city in this era.

The city gate slowly opened, and the drawbridge crashed to the ground with a loud bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A squad of death knights riding nightmares rushed out of the door, marching in perfect unison, forming two lines, and standing on either side of the door. They then drew their rune swords from their waists and held them in front of them.

Each knight exuded a strong smell of blood and a chilling killing intent; this was undoubtedly a battle-hardened elite force.

Xu Ming looked at the Death Knights on his left and right, somewhat confused about what they were doing.

Give him a hard time? That doesn't seem quite right.

Surely they're not welcoming him.

But with their menacing expressions, this welcome is far too 'enthusiastic'.

Gawain, however, seemed to have become accustomed to this scene.

He laughed carefree and patted Xu Ming on the shoulder.

"It seems Her Majesty the Queen values ​​you highly, as she has even sent the Deathwing Knights to welcome you."

"Pay attention? Perhaps."

Xu Ming shrugged noncommittally.

He felt it was more like surveillance or deterrence.

He quickly followed Gawain through the gates of Camelot, and the death knights immediately turned their horses around and silently followed behind the two, maintaining a respectful distance.

As soon as Xu Ming entered Camelot, he felt a chilling coldness wash over him.

Even though there wasn't a single snowflake in sight, it felt like being in an ice cellar.

A faint, almost imperceptible black aura permeated the air.

The cross on his chest immediately emitted a warm current, dispelling the chill in Xu Ming's body.

Xu Ming looked around with some curiosity.

He had only seen undead towns in games; this was the first time he had ever stepped into such a city in person.

His first impression of the place was that it was spacious and quiet.

The streets were wide, neat, and clean, but there was no sign of any pedestrian activity.

The entire city seemed to have died completely.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive; staying here for too long would probably drive anyone crazy.

The buildings here have been renovated and are now almost identical, making them indistinguishable from other buildings.

As Xu Ming followed Gao Wen, he felt his mind go blank.

This is mental fatigue caused by prolonged exposure to similar scenery and oppressive environments.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a huge black castle appeared before Xu Ming.

The castle gates were wide open, but the inside was pitch black, and from a distance it looked like a monster with its mouth open, waiting for its prey.

We've arrived.

Welcome to Camelot!
