Alien Knights

Forty-seven kilometers south of Taylor City, in the Dukechi Principality, there is the headquarters command hall of the Muxi Knights.

"I don't understand why you want to retreat?"

A nobleman of the Dukechi Principality wearing a tight-fitting hunting suit looked at the knight commander of the Muxi Knights who was packing up, and said with doubts on his face: "Didn't you say before that the situation in Taylor City has stabilized?"

The knight commander just said "This is the Holy King's order" and said nothing more.

The noble walked up to the knight captain and whispered: "The Grand Duke is very unhappy with your actions of taking away the citizens."

The knight commander carefully put away the shield with the umbrella emblem engraved on the wall, and said: "We did not force those people to follow and leave. They joined voluntarily."

"I know, but if you didn't stop it, it would be tantamount to condoning those civilians..."

Alfonso De Cabo walked into the command hall of the military camp at this time, attracting neat salutes from the knights.

The knight commander saluted, tilted his head towards Alfonso, and said to the nobles of the Duchy Duchy: "That is our new commander who arrived a few days ago. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

The nobleman looked at the parasite limbs that were constantly wriggling in Alfonso's armor, and swallowed hard: "He doesn't seem to be a talkative person. Where is the original Chief Dion?"

The knight commander patted the nobleman on the shoulder: "Lord Alfonso is a very easy-going person."

The nobleman plucked up the courage, walked up to Alfonso, looked at the burns on the other man's face, and whispered: "My lord, I have something to tell you."

Alfonso looked down at the noble and suddenly said: "Go home and pack your luggage."

"ah?!"

Alfonso repeated "Go home, pack, luggage, now."

The noble looked confused: "Where to go?"

"Twilight West City."

The noble finally reacted and said angrily: "Sir, you can't force me to go..."

Alfonso said expressionlessly: "The Grand Duke Dokchi and his family have agreed to board the ship."

"Wait! You mean, the Grand Duke...?!" The noble shouted in surprise: "This is impossible!"

Alfonso winked to the left and right: "Find a few people to help this gentleman go back and pack his luggage."

Being lifted into the air by two heavily armed knights, the Dokchi noble kicked his legs while shouting: "This is kidnapping! This is an invasion! You will go to hell!"

Watching the group of people walking further and further away, Alfonso glanced at the sun in the dark clouds outside the door and whispered to himself: "We must hurry up."

The knight captain of the Muxi Knights walked to Alfonso and said with a worried look: "Sir, doing this will cause diplomatic disputes."

Alfonso said - I am saving people, and then turned around and left the military camp.

Stepping on the floor tiles of Dokqi Royal Park, the Supreme Commander of the Crusaders Ackerman Xiaokuola looked up at the gloomy sky and took a long breath: "It has been raining heavily for three consecutive days, and it finally stopped. ."

Parni, the snake demon sitting cross-legged on a bench on the street, looked at Ackerman and asked, "Are you worried?"

Ackerman moved his ears and asked feebly: "Where is your sister?"

"The Grand Duke's family has just boarded the ship, and my sister has gone to hand over documents to the fleet commander."

Ackerman stretched out: "Bringing the Grand Duke's family back to Muxi City means that my mission has been completed... Do you want to go back? I really don't want to go back."

Palni turned around and asked, "I don't understand. Last week was the monthly meeting of the shaman assembly. Why didn't you go back to Muxi City?"

Ackerman found a piece of grass and lay down on it regardless of the humidity: "I have already proposed to Ms. Minnie to step down as the supreme commander of the Crusaders."

Palni was a little surprised: "Resigning? Aren't you always proud of this position?"

Ackerman whispered, "How do you think I got into this position?"

"Because of military exploits?"

"Of course not, it's because of the Red Branch Chapter, because of Ms. Minnie, because of the boss... I mean the Supreme Dragon God..."

Ackerman held a piece of grass root in his mouth and said slowly: "I actually have no ability. There are too many people better than me. I am able to get to where I am today because of luck and connections... On the other hand, the Crusaders The responsibility of the supreme commander is really too great, and there are too many things. I can't handle it at all, and I can't reach the height required by others."

Palni swung her snake tail: "I think you've always done a good job."

"You don't have to lie to me." Ackerman shook his head: "Take the incident of Barbara's assassination as an example. Whether it was the early security work, the emergency response at the time of the incident, and the remedial work after the incident, I They were all handled badly. The cabinet, the Knights, and the Crusaders were all actually dissatisfied with the way I, the supreme commander, handled the incident... As for the boss, although he didn't say anything, I knew he must be very disappointed. "

Before Palni could speak, Ackerman continued: "Although Muxi City is more prosperous and lively, I always feel that Froststone City is my real home. I plan to go back... maybe I can find a home there. For a job, the recruit instructor would be a good one, maybe an archery coach..."

Parni coiled up the snake's body and looked at Ackerman quietly: "Have you made a decision?"

"Well, I'm sorry, if you don't want to go back, you can..."

Palni shook her head vigorously: "No matter where you go, we will follow you."

Ackerman looked at Palni gratefully, with his mouth open, but no words came out for a while.

Palni looked into the distance with a smile, and suddenly her attention was attracted by something in her field of vision.

From the mound of dirt on the park lawn, a small black figure emerged from the ground.

"what is that……?"

Hearing Palni's question, Ackerman turned his head and looked into the distance.

"It seems to be rats. Didn't it rain all the time in the past few days? These rats had to move to their nests due to underground water seepage, so they appeared here..."

Ackerman stopped talking mid-sentence.

The black creature that looked like a mouse suddenly had dozens of black parasitic limbs burst out of it, looking like a wriggling ball.

The surprised Ackerman quickly stood up and stared at the "mouse" with wide eyes, shaking his body and slowly crawling out of the mound.

In the blink of an eye, like a small earthquake, the originally flat park lawn suddenly began to shake violently.

One hole after another appeared on the earth, and hundreds of rats possessed by parasites emerged from the soil and came to the ground.

Palni was so frightened by this scene that she slowly slid down from the bench, and even the snake's tail forgot to swing.

Ackerman gritted his teeth, stepped back in small steps, and whispered to Parney: "Black Plague."

Just as the two began to retreat, a deafening alarm bell began to ring, instantly spreading throughout the sky above the entire Dukechi Principality.
