Chapter 277 Sudden

In the middle of the night, the manor was silent. Only the magic crystal lamp driven by magic was on, providing lighting for the servants who got up and worked in the middle of the night.

In the kitchen, a maid hurried out with a pottery basin.

After hearing that a friend of Master Krono had arrived with the Knights, in order to entertain them, the butler ordered the servants to prepare a hearty breakfast for the knights. For this reason, they got up early and started preparing breakfast ingredients before dawn.

The maid walked on the stone brick road. Her task this morning was to go to the nearest smoked meat shop to buy the smoked sausage that Master Krono liked.

In the dark night, everything was quiet. Only the street lamps and the windows of some houses emitted a faint light. Everything looked very quiet. The breeze blew over, making the sleepy maid a little more awake.

But soon, this peaceful scene was broken. The maid looked up with a sense of something. In the sky wrapped in black fog, the cold moonlight quickly turned red. A huge fire meteor passed over the city, and the strange red light illuminated the entire Beltram.

The maid was stunned and suddenly remembered something. Her face turned pale. The pottery basin in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and with a snap, it was smashed into pieces.

But she had no time to care about the broken pottery basin at this moment. The woman hurriedly pulled up her skirt and trotted back to the manor.

A few seconds later, in the north of Beltram, a red shock wave swept towards the city like a sky-high flame.

Rumble! ! !

The huge vibration sound was like a thunder that directly awakened the sleeping city. The lights in the residents' houses lit up sporadically with this sudden strange phenomenon, and some noisy sounds appeared in the city.

In the manor room, Chu Ming, who was still in the state of running the secret method, suddenly opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly, "Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge vibration came from afar, instantly dyeing the night outside the window red. The window made a creaking vibration sound, and the red light illuminated half of the room.

Chu Ming suddenly stood up from the bed, staring out the window, and had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"This is... the second dark demon nest has descended?!"

After realizing this, his heart suddenly shook, and he hurried to the cloakroom to put on his knight's clothes and armor.

After tightening his belt, Chu Ming hung the two long swords in the corner on his belt, put on his staff and walked towards the door.

Click... The door lock turned, Chu Ming walked out of the room, and in the brightly lit corridor, he saw Miguel and others who were also wearing armor and looking nervous.

Chu Ming waved to Miguel and ordered seriously: "Call all knights immediately, let's go to the north of the city to investigate the situation."

"Yes, Captain."

After giving the order, Chu Ming strode out of the corridor and came to the hall.

After seeing Chu Ming coming out, an anxious maid hurriedly bowed her head and saluted:

"Lord Ryan, the young master is at the door."

Chu Ming nodded to her, walked out of the hall, and soon saw Krono, who was wearing pajamas and chatting with the knight outside the door.

When he approached, Krono had just finished chatting with the knight and turned his head with a worried look on his face.

A figure suddenly appeared behind him, which scared him immediately. The magic pattern on the man's body suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously hid aside.

Chu Ming grabbed his sleeve and said helplessly: "It's me."

After hearing the familiar voice, Krono's body stiffened and finally saw Chu Ming in the dark.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was so scared, I almost thought that the dark monsters had broken in."

Chu Ming ignored him and just asked, "What's the situation outside now?"

Hearing Chu Ming's question, Krono's face gradually became solemn, "I heard from the knights patrolling nearby that another dark demon nest seemed to have fallen in the forest north of the city. Grandpa Randy is summoning more knights to defend the city wall. It is said that after the dark demon nest appears, it will immediately set off a wave of fanatical beasts. If it can't be stopped..."

Krono didn't say anything else. If the dark demon tide really broke through the city wall defense and broke into the city, then their Harlowen family's business in Beltram would be destroyed, and it is not known how many people would be sacrificed.

Chu Ming comforted him, "My knights are all blue level, and they also help to protect the city wall. I plan to lead the knights to the north of the city now."

Krono was shocked, "Is it too risky..."

The man stopped talking halfway, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go too. After all, I'm also a mage. It must be much easier for knights to guard the city wall."

Chu Ming glanced at his pink pajamas and the small cotton hat on his head, and reminded him, "You should change your magic armor first."

Krono subconsciously glanced at his clothes when he heard this. The man blushed for a rare time, said goodbye to Chu Ming, and hurried to the direction of the house.

"Wait for me, it will be quick."

The man's voice disappeared, and after a while, the knights gathered and went to the stable to lead all the war horses out.

Chu Ming rode his unicorn blood horse and waited on the street for a while. A figure rode a magic war horse out of the manor. This person was Krono.

The man was dressed like a knight, and the warhorse he rode was extremely majestic, with a flaming red mane like a blazing flame. The strange thing was that he was not holding a sword or a spear like the knights were equipped with, but a long wooden staff.

Chu Ming glanced at him, waved to the knight and said, "Everyone join me to support the city wall guards."

"yes."

The sound of horse hooves became louder, and the magic horse moved faster and faster, running recklessly on the streets, heading towards the north of the city.

…

On the northern wall of the city, after learning that a new dark demon nest had appeared in the north of Beltram, Grand Duke Randy and Lawrence of Harlowen quickly rushed to the northern city wall. At this time, they were looking at it with a hint of sadness in their eyes. He looked solemnly into the deep darkness of the forest.

Under the city wall, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and waves of guards arrived, climbed onto the city wall, and defended.

Lawrence's expression was not very good. "The first wave of beasts after the arrival of the Dark Demon Nest is the most terrifying. Coupled with the dark demon tide released by another Dark Demon Nest outside the city, I am afraid that the number of dark monsters will reach a very high level this time." Terrible situation.”

Mayor Romulo shook his head and said: "No matter how scary it is, we have to defend it. Let's gather the legion here temporarily."

Several people nodded silently and stared quietly into the depths of the forest. Behind them, the legion knights were running busy under the command of the sergeants. The legions from the Fengyang Empire were also ready, and many magicians' staffs sparkled. Deadly light.

"Roar!!"

A roar suddenly sounded from the forest, and the sound waves rushed out quickly. The trees were broken in the middle, and the storm rolled up. The front of the forest suddenly became empty. A giant beast with a height of dozens of meters and a body like a meat ball walked out of the forest. It The dark skin was bubbling constantly, and a terrifying aura was exuding from his body.

"Epic three stars?!"

Randy's face darkened.

"Lawrence lend me a hand and I'll pull it off."

"Marcelo, it's up to you to look after the city wall."

After the old man finished speaking, the withered muscles on his body suddenly swelled up like a balloon, and his whole body hit the dark beast like a cannonball.

Boom!

The sound of air explosions resounded throughout the battlefield, the dark beast howled miserably, and its huge body couldn't stop falling backwards.

The giant beast staggered, trampling countless dark monsters along the way and falling to the ground.

Buzz! !

The spells on the city wall shone brightly, and the epic mages released spells to bombard the surrounding dark demonic tide.

The war is about to break out. Although dark monsters evaporate and turn into phantoms on the battlefield all the time under the fierce attacks of knights and mages, they will soon accept the rapid resurrection of dark power and attack the city wall with the surging dark demon tide.

"Follow me to kill the dark monsters."

An epic dwarf officer shouted, and he led other epic knights to jump down from the city wall, and started killing in the dark demonic tide without fear of death.

On the city wall, the mages waved their staffs. Once a knight was injured, they would immediately release healing spells to restore their wounds.

Lawrence stood on the city wall, and the explosions hit one after another. The strong wind raged on the battlefield, blowing his hair.

The man looked towards the forest behind the battlefield between Randy and the giant beast. He could sense that there were countless dark monsters with terrifying aura attacking from there.

He stretched out his palm, his eyes focused, and an invisible realm instantly expanded from his palm, wrapping the dark demonic tide under the city wall inside.

Magic forbidden!

A rule suddenly appeared. The dark monsters in front of the knights roared and wanted to rely on instinct to release spells. However, no matter how they stimulated the spirit, the magic in the environment seemed to be rigid and could not be activated by the spirit at all.

This situation that went against instinct appeared, and the dark monster, which had no intelligence in the first place, showed human confusion on its ferocious face.

brush!

The next second, the knight's angry slash struck, killing all the dark monsters in front of him.

With the help of Lawrence, the intensity of the dark demonic tide suddenly decreased, making it easier for the knights to face the dark demons.

It’s just that Lawrence doesn’t dare to be careless yet, because he knows that this is just the beginning.

As he expected, shaking sounds gradually came from the distant forest, the forest trees collapsed, and a group of more powerful dark monsters rushed over from the dark devil's nest in the north.

Even with the help of the Forbidden Demon Realm, facing such a terrifying amount of dark demon tides, the knights still fell into endless killing and fighting.

In just a few minutes, the condition of the knights on the battlefield had deteriorated a lot, and another group of knights on the city wall took over.

As soon as Chu Ming led the knights to the city wall, he heard wailing sounds everywhere on the city wall, and the injured knights were being treated by mages.

"Miguel, you command the knights to assist the guards in defending the city gate. Don't force it. If there are any special circumstances, retreat immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

Miguel led the knights to dismount and walk towards the city gate, while Chu Ming and Crono climbed onto the city wall together and looked at the situation outside the city wall.

In the forest that had been bulldozed, the dark demonic tide emerged from the black mist, coming in wave after wave like a tidal wave, forming a huge beast wall and slapping towards the knights.

In front of a wave that was tens of meters high, Randy and the giant beast were quickly submerged. The wave did not stop surging, crushing the knights under the city wall.

boom! ! !

The ground sank instantly, and hundreds of epic knights were instantly submerged in it. Due to the suddenness of the incident, several epic knights had no time to respond and were directly killed in the waves. The remaining epic knights were not in a good condition either. They were seriously injured and could only barely resist the attacks of the dark monsters.

The epic knights who had just recovered on the wall had no choice but to jump off the wall again, ready to replace the injured knights, but the dark magic tide would not wait for them to react. Another wave surged from a distance and attacked the wall.

Chu Ming's eyes shrank, he drew out the sword of guidance, and shouted: "All knights leave there and retreat to the wall."

Although Krono on the side didn't know what Chu Ming wanted to do, he still shouted with Chu Ming: "All knights go to the wall first."

Chu Ming and the other person repeated the order to disperse, but in the noisy environment, the knights couldn't hear what they were saying, and even the mental fluctuations they spread were quickly disturbed by the chaotic mental fluctuations.

Lawrence glanced at Chu Ming. The man knew that Chu Ming was the young man he had seen yesterday, who led the Knights to break into the dark magic tide alone.

He stared at the surging dark magic tide in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Domain expansion!

Invisible order was built in this world, and the man's faint voice instantly spread throughout the battlefield with the order.

"All knights retreat, return to the city wall."

The voice echoing on the battlefield and the strong mental fluctuations instantly entered the minds of every knight. They were all stunned. Although they didn't understand why Lawrence took the initiative to give up defense, they still obeyed the order, cleared the dark monsters around them, and jumped directly onto the city wall.

After seeing all the knights leave the battlefield, Chu Ming finally had a bottom line in his heart.

He looked at the dark magic tide that was about to attack not far away, and shouted, "Please help me attack, don't get close to me."

The knights around Chu Ming were shocked when they heard this, and they left Chu Ming's side one after another.

Chu Ming's arms were tense, and he held the sword of guidance tightly. He shouted, and the blood power of his whole body was poured into it, and he raised the sword of guidance high.

Rumble...

Suddenly, thunderclouds gathered over the battlefield, lightning flashed, and thunder shuttled through the sky with terrifying momentum.

"Huh..."

Chu Ming exhaled slowly, ready to be struck by lightning.

His eyes suddenly glared, and a flash of lightning flashed through his eyes. The lightning patterns on the Sword of Guidance twisted and became active, and arcs of electricity jumped out from the sword and Chu Ming's body.

"Ah!"

He roared, and in the horrified eyes of all the knights, he jumped off the city wall without hesitation, and was instantly swallowed by the surging dark magic tide.

The knights couldn't help but pale when they saw this scene, and they immediately thought of Chu Ming's end.

But before they had time to mourn, the thunderclouds in the sky had brewed to the extreme, and the thunder plasma fell straight into the dark magic tide like a roaring beast.

Boom!!!

Thunder exploded nearby, shaking the knights' eardrums. In their horrified eyes, the dark demon tide's impact stopped abruptly, and a big hole was broken in the middle of the huge wave. Countless dark demons evaporated instantly in the rage of thunder.

In the open space in the middle of the disintegrating dark demon tide, Chu Ming kept inserting the sword of reception into the ground with both hands and knelt on one knee.

"Ah!"

The intense pain made Chu Ming couldn't help but let out an inhuman roar. Green light shone on his body, and the charred skin on his body quickly peeled off.

But before he had a moment of rest, the lightning roared and fell again, hitting Chu Ming's body, and blasted a shallow charred pit around him.

After the sword of reception swallowed enough thunder power, it was pulled by the thunder and raged out suddenly, forming a hemispherical thunder field around Chu Ming. The thick thunder snake instantly climbed out of the field and entangled the surrounding dark demon tide.

In waves of wailing, the dark demons were paralyzed by lightning and could not move.

At this time, the mages and knights finally came to their senses. They were on the city wall far away from the thunder, releasing spells or long-range attacks. Some knights even threw their long swords directly into the dark magic tide. After the raging thunder snakes touched the long swords, they suddenly exploded and blew the dark monsters into pieces.

After the offensive of the dark magic tide was disintegrated, it was much easier to deal with. When Chu Ming pulled out the sword of guidance and the thunder disappeared, the knights went out again and slaughtered the surging dark magic tide in the battlefield.

In fact, the number of dark monsters killed by the sword of guidance is not worth mentioning compared with the entire dark magic tide, but the most terrifying thing about the dark magic tide is its all-consuming and surging offensive.

After the offensive of the magic tide was disintegrated by the sudden thunder, the threat of the dark magic tide dropped by more than one level. It was impossible for them to be the opponent of the prepared epic knights. They had to face the fate of being slaughtered.

In the center of the battlefield, Chu Ming gasped and put away the sword of guidance and jumped onto the city wall.

Just now, in order to trigger the thunder to attack the dark demon tide, he consumed most of his physical strength, and the blood power in his body was also depleted. He must rest for a while, otherwise when the dark demon tide attacks again, he will not be able to receive the thunder.

Chu Ming fell on the wall, and the knights around him cast admiring eyes at him. Krono quickly came over to support him.

"Are you okay?"

Chu Ming leaned against the wall and shook his head, saying: "The consumption of blood power to trigger the thunder is too great. I need to rest. You can only rely on yourselves from now on."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Mr. Ryan, right?"

Lawrence walked into the group of knights, half-knelt in front of Chu Ming, opened the sandalwood box with gold edges, and revealed a light red potion that emitted a faint starlight.

"This potion was made by Lord Claude, the chief alchemist of the empire. It can quickly restore the knight's power you have consumed and enhance your physical body."

Chu Ming was stunned and took the potion.

[Scarlet Potion]

[Quality: Purple☆]

[Note: Restore the knight's bloodline power and temporarily improve the knight's physical body to epic level. ]
