In the underground lair of these native ratmen, Cheese and the others met an unexpected person or group of people.

"So, you are Leon of the Kingdom Knights?" the female warrior asked. Although the blood lion's reputation is no less prestigious than that of Heather, this knight with great military exploits is far more recognizable in the kingdom.

Not as good as Hammer Rose.

Leon, who was sitting in the corner, nodded, admitting his identity. The second leader of the Kingdom Knights is also very depressed now. His experience is almost the same as that of Cheese and his party. Leon was also forced outside the valley city

The pressure from the huge number of ratmen had no choice but to withdraw into the city first, but he was unluckier than Cheese and the others. The Kingdom Knights did not notice the holes in the basement when they were looking for a place to stay. What happened next was much simpler, Leon

When he and his knights were resting at night, they were caught red-handed by the native ratmen who swarmed out of the basement. Unlike Cheese and the others who were still able to fight to the death, most of the knights of the Kingdom Knights were killed in the first battle.

He was immediately controlled by these rat men.

However, this makes the composition of this unit relatively complete. Since the Blood Lion's unit did not encounter mutant ratmen, except for a few members who were accidentally injured and killed in the first battle outside the city, most of the kingdom's knights

They all still have full combat effectiveness. Of course, after their armors and weapons were taken away by the rat people, it was a bit embarrassing as to how much combat effectiveness they had left. This is why Mona was not sure about the person in the corner wearing a coarse cloth vest.

The man with the trousers is the main reason for the Blood Lion Leon. Having said that, Jack's weapons and armor were actually confiscated by the mutant ratmen before they were imprisoned.

This is the central area of ​​the rat-man crypt. Maze-like earthen walls separate the various rooms in this area. For example, the place where several people are talking at this time is that these rooms are used as "cells".

Part. It is said to be a prison cell, but it is actually a huge wooden cage placed in an earthen room. All the humans captured by these native ratmen were disarmed and thrown here. However, the composition of the people in this cage is relatively simple now.

, only the kingdom knights who had been captured long ago and cheese and others who had just been captured.

In fact, not only were Cheese and the others surprised when they saw Leon, the Knight Commander of the Kingdom was also very surprised to meet people other than the Knights of the Hammer in this dead land, especially when Cheese and the others told them their origins.

Afterwards, even the Blood Lions had to admire their courage and determination. At the same time, the Kingdom Knight Commander was also impressed by the five Hammer Knights who refused to surrender.

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I think it's better to ask clearly. Maybe what I'm going to say next will cause misunderstanding, but please believe that I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask, as we are knights, why are you and your subordinates

It doesn’t seem like there’s much reaction to being captured?”

This problem has been brewing for a long time. Judging from the performances of the previous knights who would rather die than surrender, being captured by the ratmen seems to be more difficult to accept than death for these people who live by glory. However, this knight of the kingdom has long been here.

No strong emotions were shown when talking about this matter. Similarly, although he and his men expressed condolences to the five dead, the mage still felt that these kingdom knights had something to do with Heather's Hammer Knights.

The difference. Since you will definitely need the help of these kingdom knights if you want to escape from here, Cheese thinks it is better to know more about each other. Of course, when this question is asked, the mage is also ready to accept various responses from the other party, but

Although he had been mentally prepared to be insulted by the other party, Leon's reaction after hearing this question still caught Cheese off guard.

"Of course we are different from them." Blood Lion replied with a smile, as if this question was a matter of course.

"I think when you met the Knights of the Hammer, it was the first time you met the knights, right?"

The mage nodded and acknowledged this.

"That's right. My magic friend, you have to know that there are many types of knights. And the simplest way to classify them is their origin." Leon paused and continued. He didn't seem to mind being there.

Let’s talk more about cheese here.

"Origin?" The mage frowned. Will the knight's origin affect them?

"Yes, to give a simple example, the guys in Liehammer basically come from noble families. They may be the second sons of the family seeking qualifications for themselves, or they may join the Knights in order to improve their family's status.

In short, those guys are all nobles. As for us, the Knights of the Kingdom are knights loyal to the king and the kingdom. Most of us are honorary knights selected by His Majesty the King from the army or other special channels. To put it simply

, most of us, including me, were promoted from civilians. Of course, this does not mean that there are no nobles in the Kingdom Knights, but this mission is of great importance, so the team members I selected are basically

They are all people I think are more reliable." Leon paused temporarily to give Cheese time to digest the information.

"This will cause us to be very different from the knights composed of noble knights. I mean, although we all restrain ourselves with the spirit of chivalry, relatively speaking, we pay more attention to results. Taking this operation as an example, maybe we

There is a chance to die together with those native ratmen you mentioned, which may be more in line with the spirit of chivalry. But if we fail here, it will be a disaster for the entire kingdom, which is much more important than the so-called glory."

After listening to Leon's words, Cheese finally understood why he felt that these kingdom knights were different from the previous Hammer Knights. Indeed, it can be seen from the conversations of these knights that although they are trying to remain polite, in comparison

Those Hammer Knights who walk in a strict manner, these Kingdom Knights feel like Frost Guards, they are freer and more purposeful. This is good news for current mages, with such people

Cooperation is much easier. In fact, it is true. Mona and others did not get along harmoniously with the Knights of the Hammer before. They just acted together because of the common goal. But look, they can already chat and laugh with the knights of the kingdom.

A few people. If they had met the Kingdom Knights back then, maybe their current situation would be better, Cheese thought.

"By the way, speaking of which, before you were captured, I seemed to have seen those rat men capture someone, but she was not locked up with us." Leon said suddenly.

"She? You mean those rat men caught a lone woman and locked her up separately from us?" "Monkey" asked.

"I didn't see it specifically, but I heard her voice when the rats were pressing her down and passing by nearby. I'm not sure about the specific situation." After spreading his hands, the Kingdom Knight Commander also said that he only

Know this.

"Maybe it's just a lone refugee..." Elsa guessed. After all, these native ratmen can keep cheese and the kingdom knights together, indicating that this area is used to hold some threatening prisoners.

Yes, those who will be dealt with differently may be those who the mice think are incapable of causing chaos.

Only Cheese was not in a hurry to express his opinion. On the one hand, he knew very little about what Lyon described and could not make much speculation. On the other hand, he always felt that the woman who would appear alone at this point in time should be more than just a simple woman.
