Alien Knights

In mid-air next to the underground river, the space suddenly distorted. Several figures and a pile of sundries suddenly appeared from the air and fell to the ground one after another.

Hyatt was lying on the cobblestones, struggling to stand up, but the weakness and weakness after using the power made him unsuccessful several times.

Seventeen got up and ran to help Hyatt.

"Leave me alone, go and see Leoric!" Hyatt's legs were trembling, and he tried his best not to let himself fall down again: "He is the task given by the Lord's mother."

On the 17th, he came to the comatose Leoric, listened to his heartbeat, turned back nervously and said, "My lord, his heartbeat is already very weak, and it may be gone after a while."

Looking at the half of No. 33's corpse beside him, Hyatt gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone evacuate to the ferry of the underground river! Let's go now!"

The group walked for ten minutes and came to a hidden ferry crossing in a tributary of the underground river of the Holy Acropolis.

A two-masted armed sailing ship was docked there, and busy figures could be vaguely seen on it.

The approach of Hyatt and his party quickly attracted the attention of the people left behind at the ferry.

After some conversation, Hyatt brought these people who had retreated in a hurry to the deck of the sailboat, while he himself braced his body and began to direct his men to escape from this place as soon as possible.

"On the 17th, let the crew set sail as soon as possible! The enemy may find this place at any time, and it will be more dangerous if you stay for a second longer!"

"Yes, leader!"

"No. 21, go find No. 52 and ask her to stabilize Leoric's life signs as soon as possible, at least until she leaves the Holy Acropolis."

"I see."

"No. 27, help me onto the side of the boat and make sure everyone can see me. I can't fall down at this time!"

The two-masted sailing boat slowly sailed away from the river bank and traveled along the underground river to the distance. As the speed of the boat became faster and faster, the people on board became more and more relaxed.

Hyatt took off the hood of his robe, and took off a carved wooden animal mask, revealing the dark face of a Southern Empire man.

At this time, No. 27 also removed the mask on his face, revealing his original face. Looking at it, he was actually a handsome Arab girl with slightly dark skin.

"Father, are we safe?" No. 27 looked at Hyatt, with the fear still in his eyes.

Hyatt shook his head: "Selma, it's too early to say it's safe. We can only be considered safe when the ship leaves the border of the Holy Acropolis and sails into the Kingdom of Ronaville."

"The enemy of the church we met underground, he used two unrelated abilities, so he should be a successor, right?"

Listening to his daughter's analysis, Hyatt first nodded, then shook his head: "He is indeed an heir, but he not only used the two abilities of 'speed' and 'freeze', when the crossbow bolt was about to hit him, his skin instantly turned into metal, that is to say, he can also use 'metal skin'."

"Able to use three abilities, is there such a successor in the church?"

Hyatt pondered for a while, and then said: "That person is wearing the holy robe of a deacon of the church. Sinclair called him Felicity. It stands to reason that the successor who can use three supernatural powers should be considered a high-ranking official among the blasphemous apostles of the church. The information about this person should also be recorded in the Presbyterian Church. However, according to my memory, the Presbyterian Church does not know anything about this name, which is too strange..."

After thinking about it, Selma said, "Could this person have been hiding in the dark and not registered as an apostle of blasphemy?"

"It's possible, but there's one more thing that worries me. The two servants beside him, the female soldier from the North Island, have monster-like reflexes and physical coordination; the black armored knight, in terms of strength and destructive power, is comparable to the most powerful legion warrior. These two servants, no matter who they are, can easily squeeze into the top ten ranks of the Legion of Discord, but now they are acting as thugs under the command of a church deacon. Do you know what that means?"

Her father's words made Thelma fall into deep thought.

Hyatt sighed deeply: "This man named Fairchild may be more terrifying than we imagined."

"Boss! We can already see the light at the entrance of the cave, and we will be able to leave the underground river soon!"

The sound from the watchtower brought a relieved smile to Hyatt's face.

"As long as you can leave this ghostly place, sail south to find a safe port of call, and complete Leoric's resurrection ceremony, the task of the mistress will be successfully completed."

Thelma had a puzzled look on her face: "Father, I don't understand why the mistress cares so much about Leoric?"

Hyatt said with a serious expression: "How can you and I guess the intention of the mistress?"

Perhaps the tone was too harsh, but Thelma's aggrieved appearance made Hyatt feel soft, and she whispered: "In my opinion, the mistress hopes to use the resurrection ceremony to control Leoric, so as to establish a Presbyterian stronghold in the parish. The specific method is to use the succession election meeting to kill most of the nobles in power in the Holy Acropolis, and then let Leoric's soul enter the body of Sinclair or Mathilde, and return to the throne. The mistress can control the entire Holy Guard by controlling Leoric city."

Selma still didn't understand: "I understand all this, but what's the use of the mistress controlling the Holy Acropolis?"

Hyatt looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, his voice was almost silent: "The war between the Abbasid Empire and the Ayyubid Empire will soon end. Lord Saladin, who has won the favor of God, will soon rule the entire south. Mistress wants to..."

Hyatt's words were interrupted by a sudden shout.

"Boss, heaven! Look at the sky!"

Following the shouts of the crowd, Hyatt looked up to the sky, and the scene in his eyes made him stand still in place in shock.

A huge griffin hovered over the head of the ship, and a heavily armed female soldier from the North Island took out a horn made of conch from her waist, and blew a long and deep battle sound.

"Not good!" Hyatt hurriedly turned his face to the stunned crew members on the ship, and shouted anxiously: "Row the oars! Full sail! Throw away all unnecessary baggage on the ship! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

The crew, who had just woken up from a dream, began to carry out the leader's order in a hurry.

Following the sound of the heavy horn, the second and third griffins joined the circling ranks.

Hyatt, who looked at the sky, only had anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes. He put on his mask again, raised the oak staff in his hand, and shouted at the others on the boat: "Ballista! Bows and arrows! Slings! Take out all available weapons for me! Get ready to go to war!"

Soon, the first griffin swooped down on the sailing ship with its North Island Valkyrie.

As the height of the griffin got lower and lower, an arrow was shot from the bow in the hand of the Valkyrie, and it accurately pierced a sailor's throat.

The crew on the ship used all the weapons in their hands to shoot at the attackers, but the speed of the griffin was too fast, and the results were minimal.

One after another, the griffins began to swoop towards the ship from different angles. The arrows in the Valkyrie's hands seemed to have eyes, harvesting one life after another.

At this moment, Legionnaire No. 21 stood on the deck with his hands clasped into claws, accumulating two small fireballs. He spotted a swooping griffin, and the two fireballs attacked each other one after the other.

The Griffin dodged the first fireball with a sideways roll, but was hit by the second fireball in its wings.

Under the pain, it lost its balance and fell into the river with the Valkyrie on its back.

Seeing the other Griffin Riders frantically trying to rescue the companion who fell into the river, Hyatt finally let out a long breath.

The threat from the sky has finally been temporarily lifted.

Before the whole boat was rejoicing for too long, there was a rush of horseshoes on the river bank, which once again attracted everyone's attention.

Twenty dark heavy armored knights who seemed to come from the battlefield of the gods, rode tall and majestic horses, and galloped along the river bank at high speed.

Hyatt looked at the group of black-armored knights and said dumbfounded: "How could there be such a fast horse in the world?!"

It was no wonder that he was surprised. The river bank was overgrown with weeds and rocks, making it difficult for ordinary people to walk, but this group of knights seemed to be riding on flat ground.

Feeling bad, Hyatt first looked at the group of knights who were chasing after him, and then at the river where the boat was traveling. He finally discovered the source of the premonition.

One hundred meters directly in front of the boat, there is a bend. The river narrows and the terrain is higher, forming a natural platform.

Just when Hyatt was trying to understand everything, the black-armored knight also rushed up to the platform at the mouth of the river bay. The leading black-armored knight stepped on the rocks on the river bank and jumped towards the deck, jumping towards the moving armed sailboat.

Hyatt, whose heart was in his throat, checked the distance with his eyes and murmured, "It's too far away, he can't possibly jump up..."

To his surprise, the leading knight jumped into the air, and when he fell, a whip-like thing protruded from under the arm armor, tightly wrapped around the ship's mast.

The soaring knight's arm pulled vigorously, and the sailboat was pulled sideways by the huge force.

The knight also took advantage of this force to rush onto the deck with his men and horses.

Hyatt looked at the knight who jumped onto the deck, and untied a large sword that was as tall as a man from his back, his pupils dilated instantly.

He lifted the oak stick and shouted loudly: "Meet the enemy!"
