Chapter 365 Heroic Sun Knight
The selection of soldiers for the first expedition has begun, and all natives with experience as "thief" or "sentinel" are eligible to participate.
Keep your eyes and ears open, and take certain risks.
But the rewards are great, and whether alive or dead, there will be rewards that make people breathe faster.
Honor, money, family benefits, etc., no one can refuse.
"This is your chance to make a name for yourself!" The friend, whose right eye was blinded in his early years, pulled Fuller's arm and said, "Do a good job for the Duke!"
"Wait and listen to my great story!" Fuller patted his chest and whistled, "The story of Lord Fuller will be spread throughout the Rand Kingdom in the future. I will definitely become the Duke's most trusted warrior."
"I'm waiting for your good news."
Fuller attended for the honor.
Some people can die for money, some can die for honor. He and his friend are people who can die for honor. Unfortunately, his friend had one eye pecked out for honor and he never had the chance to serve in the army again.
Fuller strode away with his luggage on his back amid the envious gazes of the people around him, his chin slightly raised. At this moment he already felt his own success, as if he had returned home full of honor.
After getting ready, the army set out for Morpheus' Gate. The grand expedition has begun, and all parties have appeared on stage, waiting for a performance that may be magnificent, or perhaps... it will come to an abrupt end and nothing will happen.
There are only a few undead people selected in the first batch. Their common feature is that they are very powerful. Reaching level 20 is already the most basic requirement. Fortunately, there is more than one batch of expeditionary forces, there are also second and third batches.
There were also undead people who were not going to complete the mission. At most, I could just follow the team on foot and just wanted to open the map. However, I gave up this idea after following them for three days.
After an expedition of ten days or half a month, there is still no reward. Others eat meat while I get nothing. What's the point?
After a brief rest at the Snake Catcher Fortress, they headed straight for Morpheus' Gate.
When they arrived at the Snake Catcher Fortress, the undead people saw the familiar "Crystal Defense Tower".
If nothing else, how about adding an eye first? Well, it is not allowed, the signals overlap.
"What a huge...arena."
“Is there any explanation here?”
"What is open at Snake Catcher's Fortress?"
Whenever you arrive at a main city, it is important to check out what local specialties are on sale, like the "Linde's Lion Slash" sold in the Troll Castle is pretty shitty, as the skill can only be purchased in the Troll Castle.
But that place is a bit remote. Another way to buy it is to find Lind himself, but this guy is sometimes willing to teach, and sometimes he will say that he is very busy and doesn't want to bother with people.
If it weren't for his strong strength and high level, they would have drawn their swords and killed Lind long ago, to see if they could get some skill books or something.
"The team will take a half-day break!" The Crystal Mage turned around and said loudly, "After half a day, gather together and continue on the journey!"
Wen looked at the dispersing undead people: "Can they really do it?"
Only a small number of soldiers were brought this time, more of them were logistical. They had to set up an outpost at Morpheus' Gate to facilitate subsequent reinforcements.
The undead, the only military force, do not seem very reliable.
"You have chosen to trust Lind, haven't you?" asked the Crystal Mage.
"I have chosen to trust him."
Wen nodded slightly. This was her extreme way of thinking. Once she had made a choice, she had determined it. As long as the goal was the same as what she had determined at the beginning, she would stick to it.
At this stage, following Lind is indeed better than fighting alone. He seems to know how to play with the undead and can always make these troublesome guys obedient, even crazier than the fanatics.
At this time, Linde had received a letter from the Duke of the Southern Griffin. They heard that Goliath had returned to Hedwin's rule, so they sent a letter specially.
Igor Griffin, the Duke of Griffin, just like the Duke of Troll, has absolute territorial autonomy, his own soldiers, policies, etc.
A duchy is like a principality. If it weren't for the strict requirements on currency, perhaps the coins would turn into griffins.
Lind's impression of the Griffin family is that they are fertile. Not only that, but the Duke also raises illegitimate children at home. The illegitimate children of the Griffins can even be formed into a team of knights.
As for Miss Fenglei Dorothy (3_3), let’s not talk about her.
Before this, Lind had arranged for people to go to the Griffin Territory to investigate, and the people he arranged were not ordinary people, but the Scarlet Lady of the vampire clan.
Some will pledge allegiance to the Black Knight, and they aspire to go further. Blood and loyalty seem to go hand in hand at this stage, don't they?
The middleman for the Scarlet Ladies is the Red Sister, who is also the only one who knows that Lind is the Black Knight, but Lind never asks her to keep it a secret.
He had never intended to act under a disguise, and he hid his identity only to get in front of the Scarlet Monarch. The subsequent misunderstandings had nothing to do with him.
But the Red Sister does not think so. She is convinced that the mysterious Black Knight can better restrain the vampires than the Lion Duke who stands in the light.
A black crow spread its wings and landed on the window of the defenders in the Golden City. The badge on its ankle flickered with a faint light. The patrolling soldiers nodded, opened the door and let the crow jump in, and flew into Goliath through the passage.
Today's Goliath is so difficult for birds to cross.
In the Alman Manor, Lind had already changed into his robe. His burly figure was elongated after being wrapped in the slender aristocratic robe.
He looked like a helpless nobleman.
Loose clothes, long robes, etc., can give people some illusions.
When the crow landed on the window, Lind raised his hand to signal the butler to leave.
"Sir." The crow landed on the ground and turned into a red nun. She couldn't help but look at Linde twice.
This man, who was known as the "walking god on earth", never cared about his clothes. He preferred armor to gorgeous robes.
His body is always adorned with various props, each of which can be fatal.
As far as Sister Red knows, this style is the same as that of a large number of undead. Those undead call it "numbers are more important than appearance."
When you have nothing to do, you can dress up a little to entertain yourself, but when a war really starts, who cares whether what you wear looks good or not? You will definitely wear the piece of equipment with the highest attributes.
Now, he was wearing a wrinkle-free robe with dark red and gold as the overall tone, and his hair was smoothed and re-trimmed.
He didn't like long hair, but he didn't cut it for a while and didn't cut it off.
His hair was combed, framing his facial features and making him look gentler.
It is difficult to describe him with adjectives like "weak". "Not so aggressive" is already the most tolerant adjective.
"What's wrong?" Linde subconsciously raised his hand and touched his cheek.
He never thought that he could make a living by relying on his face, but when he found that Sister Red was staring at him in a daze, he subconsciously "offended" her by glancing at her favorability. Just by staring at his face, she could slowly increase her favorability? !
Lind doesn't mind that his subordinates have a higher favorable impression of him and are emotionally inclined towards him, which means that they will not betray him easily, so there is no need for them to fall in love with him.
He prefers strong and capable helpers rather than pretty girls.
Sister Red also sensed the emotional pressure from Lind, which startled her. Then she said, "We have almost investigated the information you requested."
"I'm so glad you delivered it in time." Lind raised his left hand and adjusted the cuffs at his wrists with his right hand.
He wouldn't even blink if a knife hit his body, but the wrinkles on his shirt cuffs would make him feel uncomfortable. He suspected that he might be the male version of the Princess and the Pea.
After everything was sorted, he continued, "They have come to Goliath, and are probably being questioned now, and then waiting to be received by the Queen."
Sister Red lowered her head even lower.
Scarlet Lady found out some of the information, but there was indeed a problem with its timeliness.
"What did you find out?" Lind took the letter handed over by Sister Red.
The content recorded in haste was not sufficient, but some information on it caught his attention.
For example, the illegitimate child named "William" is a genius and he is a heroic Sun Knight.
"Duke Igor Griffin is seriously ill and cannot bear the long journey, so it is Dorothy Griffin who is here to represent him this time."
There is not much information about Dorothy on the forum, because this most popular "banner girl" does not often appear in the sight of the undead. Like Rania, she is an NPC that can only be seen during limited holidays or special tasks.
It is this mystery that makes them always popular.
"Dorothy Griffin has special abilities?" Lind received news that surprised him.
"Yes, she seems to have some special connection with animals, which enables her to make them work for her."
“It’s such a fairy tale.”
Lind was not very interested in Dorothy. He was more concerned about another person: "Where is William? His last name should be Griffin?"
"He is the sixteenth illegitimate son of the Griffin Duke," the Red Sister nodded and replied, "But he is a genius. He was sent to the monastery of the Sun Church when he was a child. Later, he became a high-ranking knight through hard work. Then, when the magic ring was broken, he organized a group of people to deal with the disaster. He made a lot of efforts to ensure relative peace in the south."
Seeing Lind quickly browsing the letter, Sister Red didn't know whether she should continue.
"Go on." Lin De was able to do two things at once: thinking and listening to Sister Red's introduction.
"After the undead appeared in the south, William immediately arranged for people to go to various villages and guide the undead to move. It is understood that they went to Goliath this time in order to borrow the passage to Morpheus' Gate and resist the Great Rift."
Resistance to the Great Rift is a race war, and indeed it should be.
But William's appearance filled Linde's mind with doubts.
An illegitimate child, but not affected by his bloodline, instead he burst out with stronger talents after the end of the world.
As an old noble, he was not opposed or resisted by the village chiefs of the novice village. Instead, he quickly reached an agreement with them and the village chiefs swore allegiance to him.
Moreover, William took the initiative to send people to the Novice Village to lead the undead.
If William is replaced by "Leon" or "Wen Raven", there seems to be no difference.
No, the difference is very obvious. William is an old aristocrat and does not possess any revolutionary attributes. If you really want to confuse it, maybe his attribute of being the "illegitimate son of an old aristocrat" seems to be in line with the requirements of revolution.
Lind never minded assuming the worst about unknown enemies.
The sixteenth son of the Duke of Griffin, seems to be an "official" person!
"Is he a heroic knight? The Sun Knight?" Lind confirmed again.
"Yes." Sister Red nodded.
It seems that no matter who the other party is, I must meet him in person.
Lind's Sun Knight has been "stuck" at the upper level of Grand Knight for some time. He must get the Sun Knight potion formula from William, which means upgrading to the heroic level, that is, level 31.
Meanwhile, a team has entered the Golden City of Goliath.
The carriage curtain was opened, and a noble lady wearing round-framed glasses and holding a kitten looked outside.
The handsome young man riding a horse next to her subconsciously looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"I've been here before, and it looks more run-down than it once did."
"There has just been a great battle here! Dorothy, it should be worn out!" The young man said with excitement on his face, "The Lion Duke, Linde Alman! We all heard about him on the way here, didn't we? He killed the Dragon King Kurt with his sword! He took back the territory that belonged to the queen!"
"Yes, William, you have said it more than a dozen times in a row."
"It was an epic battle!" William continued, "You should listen to more of his stories. He defeated many enemies and rebels, including Prince Black Catfish!"
At this point he expressed some regret: "I heard that Prince Black Catfish is a very powerful swordsman. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to spar with him."
"That was a commendable thing that Lind did." Dorothy didn't have any special feelings towards Lind. Her memory of Lind was vague, probably at her own dance, but that didn't matter.
She gently stroked the kitten in her arms and said, "We are here to express our need for peace. Don't force them to think like you."
Dorothy couldn't stand her brother's "enthusiasm". It seemed as if his brain had been corroded by the sun, and he always asked others to sacrifice themselves to fight against the monsters in the big rift.
It has been like this since three years ago, but Griffin Castle has always maintained peace, and he has made great contributions to it.
She came to Goliath with her father's orders, just to show her kindness.
They had to do this because the legend of Lind had already spread to the Griffin Castle along with fleeing wanderers and refugees.
Duke Linde is determined to achieve unification and does not mind using any violent means.
Look at Lord Baya who previously occupied the Troll Castle, the Snake Catcher's Fortress, Raven City, Black Island, and the Golden City of Goliath.
Everything is paved with blood, and all stories about Lind are inevitably accompanied by killing.
It took only one or two years to kill most of the Rand Kingdom, so there was really no need for them, the Griffin Castle, to fight to the death.
They just want to live in peace. No matter who wins or loses, there will be losses in the fight, so the purpose of their coming this time is very simple.
Want peace, and be willing to continue to pledge allegiance, pay taxes, and so on.
As long as peace continues.
