Alien Knights

Accompanied by the clear cry of the gryphon, several figures quickly took off from Waiheke Island, flying high into the sky in the blink of an eye.

The three Valkyries urged the griffons beneath them, while drawing out the bows and arrows behind them, heading south, and soon flew over the place where the incident occurred.

On the vast sea, a dozen Valkyries riding griffins and hundreds of harpies from the Crusaders were already hovering in the blue sky.

The leader of the Valkyrie Guards, Evie, rode a gryphon and stopped high in the sky, looking at the sea in the distance without saying a word.

The three Valkyries who had just arrived didn't know what was going on, so they flew to Ivie's side and asked eagerly: "Where is the enemy?"

Evie glanced at the newcomer, nodded and said, "Ashley, put away your weapon."

The Valkyrie named Ashley has dazzling blond hair that shines in the sun, but her personality is more like a blazing flame in winter.

"Don't give me orders!" Ashley looked at Evie in the air and asked, "I ask again, where is the enemy?"

Evie pulled the griffon's reins, turned it, and faced the southern sea.

Ashley looked south, and there were several small dots where the sea and the sky met in the distance.

Looking into the distance, Ashley asked doubtfully: "Is that a battleship? No..."

Evie said softly: "That's the cargo ship of the Southern Empire."

"Cargo ship?" Ashley looked back at Evie: "It's just a few cargo ships, why do you need to issue a warning?"

"Take a closer look."

Ashley commanded the griffin to fly in the direction of the cargo ship until it reached the target.

Five cargo ships flying the imperial flag had scars all over their hulls, and one ship even had only half of its main mast left.

The deck of the ship was full of people, men, women, old and young. They were all civilians by their attire.

Civilians on a ship discovered the Valkyrie in the sky. Soon many people crowded to the bow of the ship, stretched out their hands in the air, and shouted something.

A Valkyrie who accompanied Ashley said, "They are begging for our help."

Ashley put away her bow and arrows and said doubtfully: "These people are all from the south. Why did they leave their own country and come here?"

No one could answer her question.

Ashley turned her sight to the rear of the southern fleet. A group of Lone Rock City battleships flying the dragon flag followed far behind, neither approaching nor moving away.

"What are these people in Lone Rock City doing?!" Ashley said angrily: "They should stop these southerners, not escort them!"

Flying back to Evie on the griffin, Ashley asked immediately: "What's going on with these southerners?! Why are they here? By the way, how did they pass the Lone Rock City sentry guard?!"

Evie said: "This fleet of civilians from the Southern Empire sailed westward into the deep sea, then headed north, bypassing the sentry in Lone Rock City, and came directly to Muxi City to seek shelter."

Ashley asked in a deep voice: "Are they crazy?!"

Evie: "They're not crazy, they're just desperate for help."

Ashley: "What did you say?"

There was sudden chaos in the civilian fleet in the distance. The cargo ship at the head suddenly lost control of its rudder and began to turn sharply on the sea.

Ashley looked intently and saw that on the deck of the cargo ship, many civilians were shouting something loudly. Some people who were so panicked even chose to jump into the sea.

Just when she was still full of questions, a black figure suddenly opened the upper side door of the cabin and rushed into the crowd on the deck.

A human being wrapped in black parasites. His eyes, mouth, ears and body are covered with wriggling black insect bodies.

"Dead spirit!"

There was a burst of exclamation, and the Valkyries took out their weapons one after another, as if facing a powerful enemy.

I saw the living corpse covered in black parasites pounce on a woman with a child who was nearest to it.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of parasites penetrated the screaming victim's body, causing the surrounding crowd to scream.

Looking at the tragedy in the distance, Ivie whispered: "According to the report of the Lone Rock City patrol fleet, this civilian fleet of the Southern Empire had eleven ships when it was first discovered, but the undead destroyed this fleet. The fleet tortured it into what it is today.”

Ashley bit her lip: "Why would there be such a fleet of undead ships in the Southern Empire?"

Evie: "I guess an undead plague broke out in the Southern Empire."

While they were talking, something happened again on the cargo ship full of civilians.

Countless black parasites swarmed onto the deck from the lower cargo hold.

Like a raging black wave, it instantly flooded the entire deck, devouring all living people in an instant, turning the entire ship into a nest of parasites.

To make matters worse, the out-of-control ship made a sharp turn and crashed into another cargo ship diagonally behind it.

Unable to escape, the two ships collided with each other, making a loud noise.

The black parasites crawling all over the deck and mast also took the opportunity to swarm onto another cargo ship and launched a brutal attack on the living people on it.

Listening to the screams and cries from the distance, many Valkyries and Harpies turned pale and shuddered from their bones.

Ashley grabbed the bow and arrow in her hand and said to Evie: "Don't let these ships get close to Muxi City!"

Evie looked at Ashley: "What's your suggestion?"

Ashley: "I will take people back to Duxi City immediately to load spore bombs and sink these ships before they approach the port."

Evie: "It will take at least an hour to return to Muxi City from here, adjust the mount, load the spores, and then fly back to drop the bomb. Moreover, if the accuracy of the bomb drop is taken into account, you may need to drop the bomb a second time or even a third time."

Ashley shouted anxiously: "Then we just wait here? Do nothing?!"

Evie glanced at Ashley and said slowly: "Before raising the alarm, I had already asked the master for instructions and called for reinforcements."

Ashley: "Reinforcements?"

Evie moved her gaze in the direction of Mu Xicheng: "Calculate the time, it should be almost here."

Everyone followed Ivie's gaze and saw a pure black warship with a strange metallic luster appearing on the northern sea.

This battleship has no masts or a helm, and its appearance is drop-shaped and streamlined. It looks like a living organism made of countless black scales.

Ashley saw the battleship appear and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's that battleship."

Ivie asked the other Valkyries to provide the latest target coordinates to the alien warship that arrived, while saying: "This new warship has been being upgraded and modified in the alien factory, and one-fifth of the project is still unfinished. If it wasn't an emergency this time, I wouldn't bother our master."

After a few minutes, the high-speed alien warship slowly slowed down and stopped.

The black keel scales on the front deck slowly opened like a sliding door, revealing a twin-linked parasite electromagnetic gun about five meters long.

Accompanied by a subtle twisting sound of the keel, the electromagnetic gun slowly rose upwards, and finally stopped steadily at the firing position.

There was another slight friction sound, and the twin electromagnetic gun tubes began to slowly extend, eventually reaching a length of twelve meters.

As the light blue electric energy was slowly injected into the gun barrel, the side armor on both sides of the alien warship slowly lowered and sank into the water to reduce the recoil during launch and improve the accuracy of the launch.

The blue electric energy in the electromagnetic gun tube became brighter and brighter, and finally it was so dazzling that it even illuminated the nearby sea surface.

With a dull roar, the cargo ship occupied by the undead more than ten kilometers away was blown to pieces in the flames almost instantly.

Five minutes later, there was another cannon blast, and another cargo ship full of undead also turned into dust.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the alien warship did not release the combat mode, and the electromagnetic gun barrel was still charging.

A Valkyrie flew to Evie's side and whispered to the latter: "On the remaining three southern cargo ships, no trace of the undead has been found so far."

Evie had no expression on her face and said softly: "It's just...for now..."

A few minutes later, just as the southern civilians were rejoicing in their survival, the electromagnetic gun launched another attack.

There was another loud noise.

Fragments of the ship's hull and human body limbs were scattered on the surrounding sea amid a burst of explosions.

Listening to the cries and calls for help coming from the distance, Evie fixed her sights on the two remaining cargo ships, her eyes cold.

Ashley looked at the mess on the sea in the distance, controlled the griffon to fly slowly to Evie's side, and asked in a volume that only two people could hear: "Our master, does he know all this?"

Evie's eyes reflected fire and death, and she whispered: "He knows, although not everything, but enough..."
