I don’t know how much time passed, but Rodrigo, Friar Delan, and another knight’s retinue Alonso rushed all the way to the depths of the underground, covered in blood, and barely managed to kill these sudden attacks.
Most of the cadaver dogs were temporarily freed from the imminent threat.
However, they were also lost in these criss-crossing underground passages; what was even worse was that several other soldiers were injured to varying degrees. Although no one was dead yet, after the claws of the corpse dogs scratched the skin, they brought
The sequelae are continuing to show up.
After the intense exercise subsided, some people began to experience symptoms of alternating chills and fever, and some almost lost feeling including the wounds on their arms. However, Rodrigo still tried his best to encourage them and emphasized over and over again that he would never give up on them.
any of them.
Then, while they were resting against the wall, they used the last lantern to carefully observe the surrounding environment. Here, there was no trace of garbage or sewage. Instead, the air was filled with a kind of decay and mold.
The smell of ash makes the nose itchy and tingling.
On the limestone walls, dug out strips and niches were filled with skeletons. Obviously this was an ancient underground cemetery that also served as part of a special shelter. Therefore, it was stored there
The bones were obviously crispy and cracked.
Unexpectedly, there is such an underground space of uncertain scale under the little-known Tabu Fortress/City. And judging from the various patterns and carvings on the wall, it is clear that it was a certain place in the early years.
One of the small Christian sects in the mountains, the remains of Adamism.
The sect advocates restoring the sinless state of Adam as recorded in the Bible, that is, a pure and straightforward life in the Garden of Paradise. He is completely naked during worship services; he believes that singleness and virginity are sins; marriage should be cancelled, and advocates living in groups; and even
There is a legend that they barked randomly.
One of the best features of this sect is that their funerals do not include any grave goods or clothing. After death, everyone goes through special ceremonies and curls up into a ball in the shape of the placenta; they are densely stuffed with stones.
In a cave or niche; with the earth as its mother body.
Despite this, the ideas of this small sect were still so shocking that they were accused of restoring and worshiping pagan gods, as well as having sex with the devil in celestial rituals that returned to primitive innocence. This caused the emphasis at that time on the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, and various
The attention of the church and the powerful class who were in their position.
Therefore, they were classified as heretics and were punished and suppressed; therefore, they were almost completely extinct in history. Only the Seven Kingdoms of the British Isles still have some faint traces. And the Holy Kingdom, which was strictly guarding the return of Charlemagne's remnants,
Also pays special attention to this.
Therefore, the directory of ancient heretics in the hands of most senior knights happened to include simple descriptions of the Adamites. Therefore, Rodrigo could only continue to encourage them to move forward, at least as a cemetery and shelter left from ancient times.
Therefore, there is a high probability that there is an exit.
But as the corridor progressed, the conditions of the soldiers supporting each other became increasingly worse; some even began to have hallucinations, saw something horrifying, talked nonsense and refused to move forward.
Rodrigo knocked him unconscious and dragged him forward.
Then, they saw an obviously artificial creation, which was a rectangular cage nailed to the wall; there were also traces of grease left by burning in a short period of time. Seeing this thing, Rodrigo's expression couldn't help but change again.
She sank down, but she secretly regretted it in her heart...
But having lost his way and the lamp oil was about to burn out, he could only remain calm and move on. As they staggered along, various items were left behind on the wall.
The traces of it have become more and more numerous; even the sound of wind and ditches have reappeared.
Then, they followed the direction of the ditch and reappeared in the corner of a huge hollow with gurgling water. The top looked so deep and dark that it quickly swallowed up the dim lights they brought. However, in front of them was
A tall stone platform lit by torches.
Surrounding this stone platform are several circular water channels; murky water filled with foam and dirt flows slowly in them. And on the mottled stone platform, there are faint projections
The figure was shaking. But they didn't seem to notice the uninvited guest who broke into the scene.
Therefore, Rodrigo couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but tightened the only remaining Saxon knife in his hand; in fact, in the previous narrow fight, his cowhide armor had been torn and scratched; there were many cases
The wounded were deteriorating. Therefore, he did not want to cause trouble.
So, under the silence that he demonstrated first, the group of people also moved slowly along the edge of the outer ring waterway in the darkness with the lights out, towards the passage where there might be an exit on the other side of the stone platform. However,
When they were about to climb the stone stairs, an accident happened.
However, a soldier who was seriously injured and unconscious suddenly twitched while being dragged; he also bumped the iron-buckled belt on the stone steps. The clanging sound seemed to be infinitely magnified in this deep space.
It generally echoed; it also awakened some kind of ritual being performed on the stone platform.
The next moment, Rodrigo was stunned, seeing many white human bodies emerging from the edge of the stone platform; and men and women bursting out with screams, exclamations and curses, which finally merged into some kind of hoarse scream.
Voice: "Guard, someone broke in."
However, Rodrigo couldn't help being shocked when he heard the voice of one of them. Because he had already recognized the identity of the other person; that was his nominal boss and chief officer, and also Dongbili of the Holy Kingdom.
Nius Frontier Province, Lieutenant Colonel Riel, the second border garrison officer...
However, what moved faster than these people on the high platform were other entities that jumped out of the darkness; almost faintly roaring and roaring, they walked around the bottom of the high platform and pounced on Rodrigo and his group who were running upwards with all their strength on the steps of the passage.
; But it was at least dozens of skeletal corpse dogs.
At this moment, they could only run away with all their strength, so that some of the bandaged wounds burst open again; and there were little blood stains all the way. However, at the other end of the stone staircase, there was also light again.
There were lights of fire and voices, but it was the outside guards who arrived.
However, seeing that Rodrigo was being attacked from both sides, he suddenly stood down, closed his eyes and stood on the knife, murmuring words to synchronize his breathing and heartbeat... The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes that became energetic, and relied on the blood in his blood.
With his renewed strength, he charged into the guards.
The next moment, the only thing that could be heard was screams and screams in the narrow and empty hallway; then they quickly subsided. At this time, a corpse dog also rushed up the stairs, biting the nearest seriously injured person.
soldier; then, with the other's desperate expression, he was suddenly penetrated and flew away.
Rodrigo, covered in blood and wearing rough clothes, reappeared in the porch, holding several weapons in his hands; he redistributed them to everyone without any interruption. The next moment he recoiled again and fired his bow left and right.
Zhan Fei rolled over several corpse dogs in front of him; there were exclamations from behind.
But at some point, a strange creature that looked like a giant bat quietly came through the air and grabbed a soldier who rushed into the porch before it was time. He picked it up in the air and tore it into two pieces, then sprinkled it down like a demonstration.
There was a bloody storm. Then, Rodrigo's weapon hit him in the flesh wing.
Immediately he screamed, emitting an invisible sound wave that made him dizzy, nauseated and vomiting; he fell headlong into the darkness beside the stairway. However, Rodrigo, who was the nearest and the first to suffer, was also dizzy, his ears and nose were moist.
The sore spot was full of blood, and it was obvious that his senses were seriously injured.
He could only helplessly let the monk Delan rush down again, dragging him and hastily retreating to the porch. However, when the faint whistle sounded again, the bone-faced corpse dogs also rushed up the steps again.
Roderigo, who was holding back his splitting headache, raised his knife and shouted:
"You go first, I'll stop them..." The next moment, a corpse dog had rushed in front of him, biting his blade and drawing blood, and pushed him down a step. Although it was cut off quickly, it was so...
He felt weak and exhausted, and it was evident that the aftereffects of the stimulating bloodline were beginning to appear;
"No, you should go first." The scarred Brother Teresa and another knight's retinue suddenly stopped in front of him, blocking the bites of more corpse dogs. At the same time, they shouted quickly and roughly, "You are the only one."
Only by returning alive can we win the trust of all the great knights. Don't let our sacrifices be in vain!"
Before they finished speaking, they were thrown to the ground one after another by the corpse dogs that rushed forward, roaring and biting; but several other soldiers also turned around and passed over the exhausted and shaky Roderigo; they waved their weapons towards
Those corpse dogs may be entangled with them and rolling down...
At this moment, Rodrigo could not help but feel extremely sad and desperate in his heart, as if something was about to break in the next moment. At this moment, a miracle suddenly appeared, and the corpse dogs gave up their bitten flesh and blood.
Everyone in Mohu retreated some distance away.
"Rodrigao... I really didn't expect to see you here." Then a voice sounded again, but it was Lieutenant Colonel Riel, the garrison commander who had already put on his coat: "You broke in and destroyed the ceremony.
But the gentleman I serve is still willing to give you a chance."
"Join us, so that you and your companions don't have to become food and sacrifices; you can also enjoy the supreme happiness." Lieutenant Colonel Riel said seriously: "That is the practice of a pure-minded knight.
Unimaginable great enjoyment, as well as money and power..."
"I swear to be kind to the weak; I swear to fight bravely against rape; I swear to fight against all wrongs; I swear to fight for the defenseless;" However, Rodrigo suddenly calmed down, looking at the lake of flesh and blood on the steps, his dying companions,
Read a proverb aloud.
"I don't know what to do, since you are so ignorant and stubborn." Lieutenant Colonel Riel on the stone platform also shook his head, but turned to another man in black robe behind him and said: "Sir, maybe we can get one, with glory.
A sacrifice of knight blood..."
"Brother Rodrigo..., in order to prevent me from being humiliated and blasphemed while I'm alive." At this time, Friar Delan, who was lying on the ground unable to get up, struggled and gasped and said: "Please grant me the final peace!"
When Rodrigo heard this, he nodded silently and stepped forward to wave his sword.
The next moment, there was a sudden and obvious shock in the entire space, and a series of roars were heard. Then, the ceiling suddenly cracked, and a ray of skylight came out, which happened to shine on the stone platform. It also illuminated those on the stone platform.
Many of the crowd and corpse dogs were smoking and screaming.
Then more and more skylight was projected down along the cobweb-like dome; the corpse dogs that seemed to be accustomed to the darkness were also shone, screaming and running around, but they always ran into the projected light beams and had nowhere to hide.
; There are also large ulcerated scars on the bare body surface.
However, the dazzling light spots shone on the exhausted Rodrigo, the injured monk Delan and others; they felt extremely warm and relieved. This only happened in an instant. The next moment, cracks appeared
The densely covered zenith collapsed due to external bombardment.
In an instant, large pieces of debris crashed down with a roar, and billows of dust and smoke almost drowned the crowd on the stone platform. Only through the large sunlight penetrating into the underground space did Rodrigo see clearly that he was actually in a place, surrounded by a large amount of debris.
An ancient temple half buried underground.
Then, a group of knights wearing silver and white armor, holding various strange-shaped weapons, flew down from the air one after another; the dust scattered and landed in the ruins. Then, they began to sweep away without any time.
And carnage, those corpse dogs lurking in the corners.
On the contrary, in the corner, Roderigo and others, whose faces were covered with dust by the billowing dust, were temporarily forgotten. Until Brother Delan came back to his senses, he shouted with all his strength: "Captain Duval, are you...
Someone here needs help."
So not long after, Ridrigao was carried out on a stretcher and slowly adapted to the normal outdoor light. He was also a little dumbfounded and full of complexities, looking at the flag flying above the inner city fortress. It was a blue base.
Above, banner with smiling golden sun.
Then, the corpses of the ferocious aliens who were hoisted out on pulleys were displayed in the only square of the city fortress, together with the captured and disarmed knights.
Together, the meaning is self-evident.
However, next, he saw more flags and logos that were captured and displayed, and he was so shocked that he almost rolled off the stretcher. Because, as one of the few royal knights in the Aquitaine region, Aquitaine
The red gold lion flag of the Noni Knights is also among them.
But Rodrigo no longer had any extra thoughts to think about this; because the leader of the Free Army/Grand Army Commander, who had just led his army to defeat the reinforcements of the Holy Kingdom and captured the fortress city of Tabu, wanted to personally summon him.
