Death of the Black Knight
Death of the Black Knight
Written by: Blue Knight-Laines
Under the blood-colored night sky, a knight in black armor was walking among the ruins. A tall warhorse followed the knight like a guard, and a faint black mist could be seen from the gap between the vest and the vest. radiated out.
There was a dead silence all around, and the cries and calls for help that had just resounded all around could no longer be heard, except for the occasional crackling sound from the unburned houses.
"A ridiculous human, do you think you can stop the dark knight's assault by lighting a fire? It's not the cannon fodder army led by the guy Gulob!" The knight stopped and looked at his victory with satisfaction. Among the dead corpses, There are men with swords and armor, women with sledges, and even old human beings and children, but all the corpses have one thing in common - only one wound. "As expected of the black knights that I and Captain Taze personally selected and trained, they have been screened in more than a dozen battles. It's a little wasteful for 'Poison Fang' to use this kind of place!"
"Is Likulude?" With the sound of footsteps behind him, the knight asked directly without looking back, his voice hoarse and low.
"Yes, General Ryans." A black knight with a blood-colored rose embroidered on his shoulders walked out of the darkness and answered after standing at attention.
"How's the battle going?"
"The number of 'Poison Fangs' involved in the battle was 30, and 324 enemies were killed, including 37 combatants, and our side lost 0."
"Very well, what about the direction of Luxembourg?"
"There is no sign of sending troops for the time being."
"Then let the team in charge of the ambush retreat. As expected of the 'Valkyrie', I really can hold my breath."
"What about that?"
"According to the general's instructions, the west side and the north side each let go a few, but the general, why do you want to keep alive, let Lord Intaron know, and it's time to punish the general again"
"He won't."
"But..."
"Likulude, what is our goal?" The low voice as always revealed a majestic force at this time, and Likulude knew that the deputy head was a little angry.
"Take Luxembourg and cut off the supplies of Brando's department!" In order to offset the pressure he felt, Rikulude walked up to the deputy head and said excitedly.
"It's good to understand." After hearing a somewhat satisfactory answer, Reines continued, "Now the remnants of Luxembourg are maintained by the personal prestige of the 'Valkyrie'. As long as she continues to ignore our actions, human beings will not Valkyrie's brilliance has lost confidence, and taking Luxembourg will be a breeze."
"But then there's no need to deliberately leave the mouth alive. The record and evaluation of our 'Poison Fang' goes on like this..." Likulude was still a little puzzled.
"A record and evaluation?" Lanes scanned the surrounding corpses, "If it is a record to destroy a village with no combat power at all, then it's not a record. As for evaluation, as long as the next full moon rises before the rise After taking Luxembourg, are you afraid of what the other generals will say?"
"So fast?" Likulude said in surprise.
"That's because someone helped us poison Luxembourg?"
"Poisoning? How could it be possible, and poisoning is not a general, don't you like the way those guys play with bones the most?"
"Venomous poisons called 'panic' and 'rumours'." Lanes looked at the blood moon in the sky and continued, "The information brought by the scouts is often not well known to the soldiers at the grassroots level due to the control of the upper level, and the The narrative of the fugitive population spreads more easily among the soldiers at the bottom, and spreads panic and gossip. Once the soldiers in Luxembourg lost their morale, they lost confidence in the 'Valkyrie'..."
"Morale, human beings are really amazing, worthy of being the deputy head... ah" Rikulude began to get a little excited,
But immediately realized his gaffe.
"Don't worry about it, Rikulude." Ryan's tone was still so calm.
Before the title of "Poison Fang", he was always called "Defective Product", and Ryans laughed at himself when he thought of this.
Unlike other dark knights who were completely baptized by the power of darkness, only retaining knowledge and memory, and forgetting other memories when he was born as a human, becoming the darling of the dragon of disaster, Lanes still retains some memories of his time as a human, But these memories are still very vague or even unrelated.
Perhaps it was the kindness of the Dragon of Calamity, or that some big figures in the upper class maintained some interest in the defective product of Ryans. At that time, he was not dealt with, but was incorporated into the army of Taze, who was at the same time as him, with a Starting as a soldier at the bottom, he became a part of Madara's expansion tide.
In battles again and again, Ryans survived by chance, gradually accumulated military exploits by relying on his own strength, and then was promoted. Finally, he was finally recognized by the upper echelons. As a dark knight, he became the deputy of the "Dark Sidewinders" chapter. The head of the regiment, and his identity as a flawed product was gradually forgotten. But there are always some who are not convinced by the "defective" Reines and challenge him, and he also restores these challengers to the original dark power in public or private duels again and again.
"When did you start to be called "Poison Fang"?" Just as Reines was thinking about it, suddenly countless pictures and information entered his mind, "Damn, here it is again!" Although he was used to it This sudden dizziness, but I still feel very uncomfortable, and different from usual, the picture this time is very coherent and the information is very clear.

The pungent putrid and bloody smell made the dying Ryans gradually wake up, just when he wanted to understand what was going on.
"Lord Gulob, there are two human cavalrymen alive here!" A hollow voice sounded in his ears.
"Pfft, where is it... um, not bad, not bad, this is good, the injury is not critical, puff, and it has the potential to become a dark knight... Hermelion, it looks like I will reward you well when I go back. , where is the other one? Quickly lead the way" Another harsh voice sounded in the distance
"Here, Lord Gulob," said a hollow voice.
"Well, this one isn't bad either... Bastard, isn't this person dying?" Suddenly a harsh voice shouted
【what? I'm still alive? Are you dying? 】Let this abnormally harsh voice make a noise, Reines can finally sort out the information [Uh, my whole body hurts, where is this, and who am I? alive? Did I go through something? . . . . Ah, my head hurts! 】
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Gulob, this person has suffered too many injuries, and the most serious wound is on his chest. If he hadn't seen the fire of his life beating suddenly, he would have been transformed. Do you want to kill him?"
【Kill? Ah, hurry up and kill me, you won't be able to feel the stinging pain in your body when you die, right? 】
"No, no, don't kill him yet. Such an interesting thing is so easy to let go," the harsh voice said quickly, "Hermirion, what are you doing, hurry up and prepare the dark ritual, the most advanced kind, I will take this People become dark knights!"
"But this person's body can't stand the baptism of the power of darkness. I think it's better to convert him into a undead knight?"
"I don't need your opinion, you just need to hurry up and prepare! If it succeeds, how will things develop in the future? Pfft, it's so exciting..."
With this last laugh, Ryan's consciousness gradually faded away.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Damn it, it's the guy who loves to play with bones and souls! Let's see if he doesn't chop him to ashes next time I see him!" Ryans, who finally recovered from his past memories, couldn't help but scolded . "Also, before that, who was I before that? Who is that figure that always appears in my consciousness? Damn it, the information is far from enough."
"General, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that the deputy commander who suddenly fell into silence suddenly became excited, and even yelled at Likulude, he couldn't help but ask. When the deputy head of the regiment encounters something, he will either argue with reason or speak with a sword. He has never scolded like this before.
"It's nothing, I thought that the quality of the troops provided by the ancient Luobu to our corps is too poor. You go down and gather your troops and prepare to go to the next place." This sentence completely made Likulude dumbfounded. The time to provide a source of troops, when did that happen? 5 years ago? But since the order has been issued, it still has to be executed. In "Dark Night Rattlesnake", it is not a joke to not obey the military order.
After his subordinates left, Lanes calmed down his chaotic mood just now and prepared to leave, but he heard a faint cry. At first, he thought he heard it wrong, but when he perceived the direction of the cry, he could really feel the faint fire of life. .
"A crippled human being? But it's impossible for his subordinates to make such a mistake." Lanes thought, and probed in the direction of the fire of life. Sure enough, he found a cloth with a cloth under the body of a woman. Wrapped baby, maybe this woman wants to protect her baby before she dies.
"A human baby? It's no wonder that the subordinates didn't realize that the fire of life emanating from this life is too weak." Lanes muttered as he drew out the saber from his waist.
Raise the sword, like a blood-colored long sword that has sucked blood, under the half-moon night sky, it glows with a strange light
The stab, the tip of the sword that should have penetrated the baby's neck, stopped just before the slightly pale skin due to the cold!
"What am I hesitating about?" Lanes looked at his hands in amazement. "It's just a weak fire of life."
"I also easily quenched each other's stronger fire of life? Now I can't do it?" Ryans kept asking himself.
"Stop joking! I'm the 'venomous fang' of a rattlesnake!" With this loud roar, Lanes raised the long sword in his hand again, this time it was cut down.
"Damn!" Seeing his sword slashed to the ground next to the baby, he yelled again!
"Don't you just see some of your past as a human being? Can't you kill humans?" Lanes said while repeating the process of raising his sword and cutting it down, but every sword was cut by the slightest. around the baby.
"Hey...hey..." Maybe seeing the fun toy swaying beside him, the baby actually stopped crying and laughed.
"Even you are laughing at me? That's right, Ryan Javier, who is called 'Poison Fang', can't even kill a baby!" Weakly put away his sword, Ryans was about to turn around and get on his horse to leave .
"Anyway, it wasn't eaten by wild dogs, or starved to death." He looked back at the faint life on the ground again.
"Forget it" suddenly unfastened the long spear on the saddle and hit the ground with a stab, and then picked it up, the cloth wrapping the baby drew a beautiful trajectory in the air and fell firmly into the hand of the horse rider.
"If Gulob sees this...?" Lanes didn't dare to think any more, and he took a piece of cloth from the cloak behind him and tied the baby in his arms.
"Little guy, I'll let you go first, send you to the human side, become a knight in the future, and then I'll tear off your head myself with these hands." As if determined, Ryans clenched tightly. hands holding the reins
"Old man is gone, set off for Luxembourg!" Lanes drove a horse under his crotch, heading towards Luxembourg.
The eastern sky is already white with fish belly. Looking far away, you can already see the Luxembourg fortress like a giant beast sitting cross-legged on the banks of the Rhine. Lanes reached into his arms with his unreined hand. The baby seemed to be sleeping soundly, and he could feel the weak body temperature through the cold gauntlet.
"It's really not like me." Just as Ryan was laughing at himself, a crisp female voice sounded in his ear, "No, this is you, Ryan."
"Who?" Although Ryans was disturbed by what happened just now, as a high-level dark knight, he would never let people approach silently without finding out.
"Haha, has Ryan forgot about me? I'm very sad, but it's no wonder, after all, it has been forty years! Hey, Ryan, do you still remember the agreement at that time?" Ji, the voice rang in my ears again
"Agreement? What are you talking about?"
"Ah, so I forgot about that, then come on, Ryan, open your heart, Anthry will remind you."
"Anthracene...ti, anthracene? Ah..." Just as Rains was chewing this unfamiliar yet familiar name repeatedly, a sharper pain than before spread from his heart to his whole body, and his consciousness began to blur. . . And you can see bursts of black gas overflowing from the armor and melting into the air.
......................................
[Lane, I heard that you have joined the garrison, congratulations! 】
【Thank you, Anthry. This is one step closer to revitalizing the Javier family! The next step is Jianxun, I heard that Madara is there. . . 】
【Javier... family? 】
【What happened? Anthracene. 】
[No, it's fine. By the way, come to my house for dinner today. . . 】
......................................................
[Lane, what's the matter, why did Uncle Madden ask everyone to gather?]
[Don't panic, it's just that Madara's side is invading the border as always, and everyone should stay in Ridenburg for a few days. 】
【But. . UU reading www.uukanshu. com. I'm always restless.]
[It’s alright, Anthina, trust Uncle’s judgment, and trust me, our Butch Guards will definitely protect everyone! 】
......................................
[Lian, why is this, didn’t you say it’s okay, why are everyone dead, the bearded uncle next door, the aunt from the bakery, and, and also, why is this! 】
【. . . . . . 】
......................................
[Sorry, Ryan, I was so excited just now]
[Anthi, I'm going to go on patrol with Taze later, this is for you]
【Ah, isn’t this the dagger of the Javier family? What's wrong, suddenly give this to me]
......................................
"Ha, ha ha, ha ha... That's how it is." As the intense pain gradually faded away, the picture of the memory was interrupted. "What have I done all these years... The me who inspired me to become a knight, the me who swore to protect everyone... Damn."
"At least, this kid..." Reins, who had made up his mind, got off his horse and patted the warhorse's neck. "Let's go, old man! Let me walk the road from here on by myself." The warhorse who has always obeyed himself , but at this time, he uncharacteristically violated the master's order and stood motionless. As a last resort, Lanes could only use his dark power to force his old partner to leave.
"It's my turn next." Watching the horses go away, Ryans turned and walked towards Luxembourg.
