Chapter 1706 Breakthrough
The sudden change caused chaos near the Green Forest Gate. The Black Sword Knight, who was riding towards the gate, had obviously not communicated with the sentry near the gate before, so the latter's reaction was obviously half a beat too slow. This caused Hao Ren and his party to panic. The breakout left opportunities.
The "Magic Caravan", which was just a fake shell, instantly burst out with strong power that did not conform to the general rules. The three vehicles accelerated suddenly and crashed into the roadblock that was being raised in front and the gate guards who had gathered in a hurry. The personal guards disguised as caravan escorts on the three vehicles immediately drew out their weapons and began to fight against the spears and swords that were thrust from all directions.
With a loud "bang", the roadblock in front of the convoy was smashed into pieces by the caravan, while the imperial soldiers guarding both sides of the roadblock flew out in all directions.
"Close the gate! Lower the barrier!"
The imperial officer responsible for guarding the gate shouted loudly. As his words fell, the magicians activated the magic device that controlled the gate. Along with the vibrations of the ground and the creaking sound of the mechanical device, it was full of excitement. The green door dozens of meters high began to close gradually, and a light green energy barrier appeared out of thin air as the rune stone bricks near the door lit up, and quickly descended from the sky.
"Leave no one alive!" A black sword knight roared loudly. When he saw his target was about to pass through the gate of the green forest, he jumped up from his horse. Complex golden-red patterns appeared on the surface of his black steel armor. Two looming magic wings actually lifted him up like wings to complete the gliding in the air. The knight raised the black sword in his hand high in the air and slashed at the third caravan, "This is the order of His Majesty the Emperor." !”
The mechanical sword roared at full power, and the intense heat energy gathered into a red half-moon-shaped shock wave, cutting straight towards the roof of the caravan!
However, this shock wave was blocked by a translucent barrier that suddenly appeared. Some kind of shield device hidden in the vehicle automatically activated, blocking and guiding the powerful thermal shock wave to both sides of the car. The solid bluestone ground quickly turned red. , and fell apart in the blink of an eye, with hot gravel flying everywhere!
The cover of the third caravan quickly folded and shrank under the action of the deformable mechanical device, turning into a low defensive bunker. Hao Ren held Gangnir and switched to photon missile mode. Lily took a sip. Water, the lips and teeth were filled with light, while Vivian summoned lightning. The three of them stood behind the bunker, taking aim briefly and then threw all kinds of long-range attacks at the Black Sword Knight who was chasing after them. them.
The three black sword knights were instantly defeated by such an attack and turned into blazing fireballs or fragments on the charge. However, the remaining black sword knights seemed to have no fear at all. They all jumped up from their horses and activated their weapons at the same time. After using the "Dragon Seal", he exploded with a hundred times the strength and speed of an ordinary person in the blink of an eye and divided into two wings to outflank him.
At this moment, the three caravans finally arrived at the foot of the green forest gate that was trying to close. A guard shouted loudly while fighting with a sword: "Sir! There is a magic barrier in front! We are about to hit..."
Lia raised her head and glanced at the barrier in front of the convoy, raised her hand and shot out a small energy arrow: "Don't disturb my study!"
The magic protection system, which was built with the painstaking efforts of thousands of elven craftsmen and tens of thousands of ordinary spellcasters, and embodies the essence of magic shared by elves and humans, was quietly shattered into particles of light that filled the sky.
A black sword knight who burst out at an astonishing speed actually caught up with the accelerating caravan. He brandished a mechanical sword and pounced on Charlemagne, who was guarding Aviana with a sword. A layer of blood suddenly appeared on the latter's forehead. Cold sweat, he knew the power of that kind of mechanical sword. The thousand-degree blade was enough to melt gold and forge iron, and the ultra-high-speed oscillating blade could split any solid city wall or armor into two like butter. However, here Unable to retreat, he gritted his teeth and raised his family sword to face the armored knight who exuded an astonishing sense of oppression!
The next second, he saw this terrifying knight slam into the vehicle shield. The armor and bones all over his body made a heart-breaking sound of twisting and breaking. His whole body slowly moved along the translucent shield. It slowly slid down, and the entire caravan trembled violently under such a violent impact. The vibration was so big that people suspected that the car would be smashed to pieces in the next second - but this strange car was still very good in the end. The collision was resolved smoothly, and they rushed all the way to the depths of the black pine forest.
The pursuing black sword knights and the imperial soldiers guarding the gate watched helplessly as the three supposedly "clumsy and slow" magic vans burst out at incredible speeds and rushed through all the checkpoints and roadblocks in the blink of an eye. Deep in the forest, they looked at each other for a moment.
Of course they couldn't just tolerate all this. An imperial officer rushed over angrily, looking at the direction where the caravan disappeared and furious: "Organize the cavalry! Notify the rangers in the forest! Send out a blockade signal! We can't let them leave the black pine forest alive!"
The soldiers immediately took action under the officer's order and rushed to their respective posts. But just when they started to take action, a black sword knight suddenly raised a hand, and the invisible pressure caused everyone around him to take action. His movements paused, and he looked doubtfully in the direction of the knight's gaze.
The knight did not speak, but raised his hand and pointed to the dark forest shrouded in shadow outside the green forest gate.
The originally open entrance to the dense forest was enveloped by a cloud of gray-white mist at some point, and this mist was still emerging and rolling everywhere in the forest, and in the blink of an eye, it blocked all known forest roads, among the continuous trees. In the meantime, the fog has formed a continuous barrier like a wall.
An imperial soldier stationed at the entrance of the Black Pine Forest all year round saw this scene and couldn't help but murmured: "What the hell is this?"
"When the world is out of order, the black pine forest will fall into the realm of fog, and the shadow of reality will devour all those who mistakenly enter it." One of the black sword knights made a hoarse and low voice from under his visor, but his words were obscure. Like an old wizard mumbling, "They can't come out alive."
An officer said hesitantly: "Those fogs..."
The knight glanced at the officer and said, "Seal the gate of the green forest and notify all the established strongholds. No one is allowed to enter the forest. We will report what happened here to His Majesty the Emperor. Those who escape are extremely dangerous and even the Black Sword Knight cannot stop them." You don’t have to worry about them being convicted.”
Lower-level commanders in the regular regiments of the empire are on the same level as ordinary black sword knights, but generally speaking, knights who directly obey the emperor himself are naturally more respected among all soldiers of the same level, so this "city gate officer" Facing the knight's almost bossy attitude, he didn't show any doubts. Instead, he nodded with an expression that was half puzzled and half grateful.
He doesn't need to know what's going on in the black pine forest - this strange and ancient forest has always hidden countless secrets. Even the elves with long lifespans may not understand those secrets, and exploring these secrets is the only way to explore these secrets in the imperial capital. About the scholar in robes and His Majesty the Emperor on the throne.
The immortal emperor possesses knowledge unimaginable by mortals, so the young officer firmly believes that the changes in the black pine forest are not worth mentioning in front of His Majesty Berrentine.
After giving the instructions, the Black Sword Knight withdrew his gaze from the black pine forest and looked at the gate of the green forest, which was already in a mess.
The three comrades who were killed by magic and strange light bombs fell on the charging road. Their corpses had been burned. Their original appearance could not be seen from the twisted armor fragments, and the three intact black mechanical swords fell away. After landing not far from the corpse, several attendants carefully picked up the three mechanical swords, and now they were putting the swords into special magic containers with serious expressions.
The sword is the most important thing for the Black Sword Knights, and its value is even greater than the knight itself - these three swords will be returned to the "Holy Armory" in Black Steel Castle, when new qualified knights are selected. , they will get another chance to return to the battlefield.
And the black sword knight, whose whole body was broken because he hit the rigid shield with his face, struggled to get up from the ground at this moment. The armor on his body was deformed in many places, and many bones were broken, but he was not dead, just After sliding off the vehicle shield, he temporarily lost his ability to move.
After a "joint reset" that seemed impossible to ordinary people, the seriously injured black sword knight regained his feet in a weird posture and limped back to his knight companion.
"Do you understand that shield?" the knight who just gave the order asked in a low voice.
"The energy shield has never been seen before. It is different from any known magic shield. It is very powerful and has excellent protection against magic attacks and direct physical impacts." I just "tested" it myself The knight who passed the shield replied, "The mechanical sword cannot directly pierce or cut it - the demon-breaking attribute attached to the blade has no effect on that layer of shield."
The knight who asked the question was obviously not satisfied with the answer: "Are there any weaknesses?"
"Perhaps, there is a vibration frequency in that shield. I have recorded it. The oscillation of the corresponding frequency can effectively weaken it, and a powerful and sustained attack can also exhaust the shield - it is not impossible. What breaks through is just that the force required to break through is extremely powerful.”
The knight who asked the question nodded, turned to look in the direction of the forest, and said with a steely coldness in his tone: "It is impossible for them to leave the black pine forest alive, but the unique shields and attack methods may not only be there. The Knights may encounter their own enemies...and we must be prepared."
"For the will of the dragon soul."
"For the will of the dragon soul."
The knights uttered a solemn oath, which is a sentence that every black sword knight must bear in mind after passing the trial. However, in the neat and solemn oaths of several knights, there seemed to be a mixture of metal and flesh. Mixed noises...
