Chapter 251 Wave of Dead Bodies
With Huolun's handwriting, Xia Yanzhen can go to those blood-armored knights openly.
However, Huolun also had mission requirements. He asked someone to give Xia Yanzhen a map of the area surrounding the Holy City.
On the map, there is a red circle in the northeast direction of the Holy City.
Huo Lun said that a large number of dead bodies gathered here, forming a certain scale.
Let Xia Yanzhen and Eve take care of it, and choose someone by themselves.
Xia Yanzhen didn't refuse. He took the oracle and went to find the blood-armored knight with Eve.
There are a total of twelve blood-armored knights in the church, the same number as the Knights of the Round Table.
There is no such thing as "Twelve Riders", but there are actually thirteen, just twelve clearly.
Eve followed Xia Yanzhen, and Norton fell into a coma, going from ordinary ugly to very ugly.
Of the remaining ten, five are in the Holy City and five are not.
I don’t know if I can make it back in the remaining time of the mission.
Xia Yan really plans to finish those five at once today.
With Eve leading the way, the two quickly found one of the blood-armored knights in the Holy City - Valentine.
Valentine is a middle-aged man who looks ordinary.
His face showed the sorrow of a middle-aged man whose life was not going well, and was incompatible with his identity as a blood-armored knight.
When he heard Xia Yanzhen's intention, the sorrow on Fan Lunding's face became more obvious. He did not accept the challenge and simply gave up.
Norton was severely injured by this man, and even the Eternal Blood Armor was shattered. It was impossible for Valentine not to know about it.
He thinks that even if his strength exceeds Norton, it is still limited.
Why should I take this beating?
Fan Lundin is a lazy man and feels that he is too old (actually not too old), so he might as well take this opportunity to retire, take a back seat, and become a knight instructor in the future.
In the past ten years, the church has expanded tremendously, but Valentine was clearly aware that the church still posed a huge threat in the form of the Black Death.
Dead bodies, rats, and some obscure tidbits.
A more serious disaster may occur in the near future.
As a blood-armored knight, you must go out and fight, otherwise it will be worthless.
Valentine was tired and didn't want to fight. Now he just wanted to lie down.
The action of canonizing Father Anderson was exactly what he wanted.
Of course, you can't smile on the surface. But don't be too angry. Don't bully a young man into being poor. Why offend a young man with a bright future?
Therefore, the expression should be a little bitter and a little reluctant.
He said no, no, no, but his body was very honest. Valentine took off the eternal blood armor easily and without the help of others.
Xia Yanzhen took the armor and checked each part one by one. There was nothing wrong with it.
In terms of style, they are still pretty much the same.
The sizes are also about the same - they are all relatively large armors, and knights are generally taller. Even Eve is close to 1.8 meters, far exceeding the average of this era.
"I don't know if my figure will suit me then..." Xia Yanzhen thought to himself.
Unlike the Prisoner of Darkness, the Eternal Blood Armor adapts to the wearer's body shape.
It is difficult to wear this armor if you are too tall or too short.
After thinking about the body shapes of Tao E and others, everyone except Bai Huang should be able to wear them.
Including Wang Dong.
I don’t know why, but after Wang Dong stopped taking the medicine, his belly didn’t lose much weight, and it inexplicably developed towards a strong fat man.
It truly puts into practice the saying "You cannot lose weight by practicing martial arts".
The Eternal Blood Armor is not the type of armor that Greasy Senior Sister has in online games. There is a certain bulge in the chest and abdomen.
It can be worn even if the belly is not small.
The only thing I can't wear is the White Emperor, it's too short.
Just grow taller in the future - many young people try their best to climb up when they are in high school.
"Okay, you can put it back on." Xia Yanzhen said to Fan Lunding.
Valentine was stunned, what do you mean?
"Bishop Huolun wants us to clean up the dead body gathering place in the northeast. Come together. I will lend you the Eternal Blood Armor for now. I will ask you for it when I need it." Xia Yanzhen said.
"No, I am no longer a blood-armored knight!" Fan Lunding said.
I'm not a blood-armored knight anymore and you still ask me to do work?
"Yes, so execute the order." Xia Yanzhen said plausibly.
Isn't it natural for a sanctified priest and a blood-armored knight to order a red knight?
What's more, it's a mission assigned by the Cardinal.
Valentine opened his mouth, feeling that it was extremely difficult to breathe: "Yes."
He silently began to put on the blood armor again.
I usually cursed secretly in my mind, if this is the case, why should he take it off?
"Gather at the gate of the inner city tomorrow morning."
Xia Yanzhen said nothing and left with Eve.
Next, Xia Yanzhen and Eve "visited" the remaining four blood-armored knights.
The process was very smooth.
A blood-armored knight proposed to fight with Xia Yanzhen instead of fighting. After losing, he happily followed Xia Yanzhen like Eve.
None of them were beaten, and they lay flat like Fan Lunding, doing everything Xia Yanzhen ordered.
There were two others who became very obedient after being beaten by Xia Yanzhen.
The blood-armored knights are meant to be killed, and respecting the strong is very useful here.
Like Norton, he refused because he was young.
Everyone else knows very well that among the Red Knights (knights), whoever has a strong fist is the boss.
Although this consecrated priest Anderson is not the Red Knight, his fists are the hardest.
Can you break the eternal blood armor with one punch? How can it not be tough?
The next morning.
A group of people gathered at the gate of the inner city.
Six blood-armored knights gathered together, each wearing eternal blood armor and helmets. The armors looked similar, and the bright red color showed a ferocious look.
A little behind them stood ten men in black robes.
The face shrouded under the hood was also covered with a black cloth, covering the lower half of the face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
Compared with the ferocious blood-armored knights, these people exude a chilling atmosphere that prevents strangers from entering. It is a different feeling.
The blood-armored knight is a ball of fire, fierce and violent.
These men in black robes had sharp daggers on their necks, looking cold and cold.
The burial mechanism, the crow among the crows.
They are the dark walkers of the church. In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, they are definitely not as good as the blood-armored knights.
But when it comes to infiltration, assassination, and investigation, he can push the blood-armored knight to the ground and rub him.
Ten blood-armored knights may not be able to kill a marquis - it will take a long time, that is war!
But ten black crows can definitely kill a marquis.
These people are the black sword of the church.
Behind them, the tall horses were quiet and spiritual, not even snoring.
After a while, a figure gradually came towards the end of the street.
There are red lines on the black clothes, and his eyes are covered with black cloth, which does not affect his actions at all.
Walking in the wind, Xia Yanzhen quickly came to stand in front of everyone.
The cross swayed slightly in front of him and then stopped.
"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen "swept" the whole place and gave the order directly.
The destination marked on the map is not particularly far from the Holy City.
A group of people are working hard, and they will arrive around noon or afternoon. If everything goes well, they can come back in the evening.
If it doesn't go well - the probability is too small to be considered.
The current combination is already the highest level of power in the church.
If they can't even take down a gathering place for dead bodies, the church might as well just disband.
The team left without a trace.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Xia Yanzhen asked: "Dead bodies gather in groups? Like mice?"
"Well, the gathering of dead bodies has become more and more obvious in recent years." Eve said, "It is suspected that it is related to the Damon siblings."
"William can control rats." Xia Yanzhen said, "Rats are the source of the Black Death, do you know that?"
"Yes, but... we can't kill them all." Eve shook her head.
Even if she is a blood-armored knight, she has no good way to face rats, or even...
She recalled the scene a year ago, and she still felt a little scared.
At that time, in order to hunt down the Damon siblings, she entered an underground cave. Rats swarmed in like waves and almost wiped out the entire team.
The protection of the eternal blood armor is comprehensive, but it is not the kind that has no blind spots at 365 degrees.
Space must be left at the joints to ensure flexible movement.
This gives those little mice an opportunity to take advantage of.
In comparison, dead bodies are not that scary - as long as there are not too many.
The number of dead bodies is obviously impossible to compare with that of rats.
As time went by, the sky became gloomy, strong winds blew, and the sky was filled with clouds.
It was originally noon, but it looked gloomy like evening.
Not long after, it started to rain in the sky, from drizzle to moderate rain, and then from moderate rain to heavy rain.
The team slowed down, but did not find a place to stop and take shelter from the rain.
Xia Yanzhen put on the hood of his coat.
The Prisoner of Darkness coat does not have the shawl of a priest's uniform, but has a hood. Once worn, it becomes a perfect raincoat.
It can keep most of the rain out.
A small amount blown in by the wind is inevitable.
The Black Crow's black robe is also waterproof.
The blood-armored knight will wear a traveler's cloak when outside. Although it is not as good as the black robe of the black crow, it is not a problem for ordinary protection from wind and rain.
Such heavy rain will not stop everyone completely.
Under the heavy rain, everyone gradually approached their destination, a completely abandoned castle manor.
This was originally the residence of an archbishop.
After the Black Death broke out, this place was the first to be hit, and the archbishop and a group of people died.
After being cleaned up, it became an uninhabited place.
The tall black castle looked like a ferocious beast in the rain.
As the horse approached, figures emerged from the white sky and earth, like a black tide, rushing over.
"!!!"
Including Eve, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
The number of these dead bodies is probably over 10,000!
How could there be such a huge dead body hidden here?
There may be hundreds of them! Damn Raven Scout!
The dead bodies came in like a tide, and the first people to be surprised were naturally the horses.
The horses stopped on their own, raised their front hooves, and would have turned around and run away had it not been for someone sitting on top to suppress them.
"Dismount and fight." Xia Yanzhen said.
"It's too dangerous," Eve said.
There were too many dead bodies, and it was impossible for them to collide head-on, so they needed to avoid the edge temporarily.
"not dangerous."
However, Xia Yanzhen had already dismounted, took out the sacred book of purification hanging from his waist, opened it, and flicked his fingers.
The pages of the book flew out, and a large number of cross daggers "condensed" around him.
As Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand, a torrent of light formed, colliding with the tide of darkness.
