Chapter 302 Too Dazzling!
Hundreds of knights suddenly rode up, holding the torches of God's Grace and the flags of Black Pearl in their hands, passing through the rats, dispersing the fog and insects. In a blink of an eye, they came to Jagger.
"What are you still standing there for?! The Duke will not waste the flames of God's Grace here. Follow me to King's Square quickly, and the rats will naturally retreat!"
In the shouts of 'Wolpe', the knights suddenly realized that they had a weapon in their hands that could deal with these things. They took out the torches that they had been reluctant to light and followed the Knights of the Black Lake.
Looking at the rats following the team around, Jagger's face became ugly. He knew that these things, more terrifying than the zombies and demons, would follow this team forever. Until everyone died.
The flames of God's Grace and the torches can only disperse them temporarily, but when the sun fades, these things hiding in the ruins will reappear.
The wizards may have a way to keep these things away from people. But the powder and torches are also limited. And in that night, if you are bitten a few times by mistake, you will be infected with various diseases.
The Duke's plan is to fight a protracted clearing war in this capital. And stay here for a long time until the black tide recedes.
He can imagine what kind of predicament they will face in this capital.
"This house collapsed well, and the sun can't get in at all." The voice of 'Wolpe' suddenly brought Jagger back to his senses. He couldn't help but look at this person with a strange expression. He felt that Wolpe was very strange today, and the tone of his mouth at this time was also very different from usual.
It seemed that the moment the team entered the capital, his temperament slowly changed.
‘Wolpe’ looked at the troops approaching from both sides, turned around and bared his white teeth at Jagger, saying: “Let’s go, Lord Jagger. The torch is about to go out, and the King’s Square is right in front of us!”
At the call of the Black Lake Knight, Jagger’s heart suddenly tightened. Looking at the Black Lake Knights who suddenly accelerated their horses, he led the Thornbirds and followed closely.
At this time, the teams on both sides had also lit torches. Under the order of the Duke, the teams gradually gathered together. The Black Pearl and Thornbirds troops had also surrounded the flag of the Wind Singer. They were like the heads of arrow feathers, constantly dispersing the darkness and fog in front, leading the large troops behind, and rushing into the fog with all their might.
The passage that was originally dispersed by the scouts seemed to be covered by fog again with the appearance of insects, flies and rats.
But the new fog passage retreated before the flag of the Wind Singer.
Fourteen thousand people followed the flag in front closely. They looked at the hungry rats wandering on both sides and just wanted to get to the King's Square as soon as possible to light the fire.
The Knights of the Black Lake and the Knights of the Iron Wall loyally protected His Majesty Philips in the middle and ran forward all the way.
Gradually, in the fog in front, the surrounding ruins became taller and taller. In the haze, a huge castle gradually appeared in front of people.
If the most prosperous square in the capital of Rodunk is the King's Square, then the most majestic and magnificent is this Dragon Tooth Square. There are defensive towers around this square, and the "Dragon Throat" connecting it with Dakensburg is a "line of sky" composed of two huge walls as tall as mountains.
This line of sky is the corridor. There should have been a gate, but this gate has completely collapsed, and the huge stone walls 20 meters high on both sides are almost about to seal it off.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely dangerous super fortress. It is a super fortress that cannot be broken from the outside.
But it was eventually submerged in the black tide silently.
Looking at the majestic Duckensburg, His Majesty Phillips and others were at a loss. They didn't expect that the team would go the wrong way in the chaos brought by the rats.
They didn't expect that with Grand Duke Adeline's military accomplishment, he would make such a low-level mistake.
Everyone looked at Duke Adeline, but he was looking at the huge ruins of the city gate in front of him and thinking, and seemed to have forgotten that the torch was about to go out.
Several teams of Iron Wall Knights had already entered the castle to check. It seems that this accident forced the Duke to change his original plan and planned to light the fire here. If the situation in Duckensburg is better, the troops should be stationed here.
As for the cathedral, they can only move in slowly.
It has become impossible to capture the cathedral in one day.
His Majesty Phillips looked at Grand Duke Adeline and sighed slightly, and said comfortingly: "There should be a lot of food and grass in Duckensburg, and lighting the fire here is also a good choice."
The area centered on the fire has the best purification effect. So although there were some unexpected situations, it was obviously acceptable to achieve this goal.
And with the situation of the rats, it was not very meaningful to light a fire in the King's Square. The remaining monsters in the capital were probably eaten by the rats. Even the corpses in the cathedral should have been much less.
Although there were not many torches left, the cathedral was not too far from the area covered by sunlight. If there were terrifying evil spirits there, there would not be so many rats in the middle.
So after Phillips finished speaking, everyone nodded.
"Your Majesty, you are really thoughtful." The Black Lake Knight Captain 'Wolpe' beside the Duke suddenly laughed. This casual tone was obviously disrespectful, which made the surrounding Red Dragon Knights frown.
Phillips glanced at him slightly and didn't pay much attention. Instead, he looked at Grand Duke Adeline and said, "Let's light the fire in Dakensburg."
The Duke of "Iron Cage" said these three words with a very complicated expression.
"Adeline?" Phillips's face was slightly surprised.
Grand Duke Adeline seemed not to hear the voice of His Majesty, and retracted his gaze from the magnificent gate full of cracks in front of him and looked at 'Wolpe'.
Seeing such a scene, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this moment, they suddenly had a very strange feeling. It was as if this loyal iron of His Majesty Phillips had transferred his trust in his heart to the adjutant of the Divine Grace Knight little by little at this moment.
"My Lord, I agree with His Majesty." 'Wolpe' saluted the Duke and said, "Let's light the fire here."
Wolpe looked extremely respectful to Grand Duke Adeline, but his tone was not like he was giving advice to the leader, but more like telling a companion about his decision.
Seeing Grand Duke Adeline nod slowly, Phillips couldn't help but look at 'Wolpe' with a strange expression.
'Wolpe' felt this gaze, he turned his head and looked deeply at the king.
This gaze was so dazzling, just like the eyes of a hunter who had been following his prey for a long time in the dark jungle!
'Phillips' had never seen anyone show such a pair of eyes to him in his life, but in this world, there are indeed a few people who are qualified to do so!
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a thunder exploded in his mind, and his pupils almost stood up at this moment!
At this moment, Archbishop Wallace suddenly stretched out his hand and crushed the necklace on his neck. The action was so decisive that no one around could stop him.
Looking at the sunlight that suddenly fell from the sky, many people's faces turned pale. Obviously, if the fire was lit in Dakens, even if it was under the pressure of the rats, it should be lit deep in the castle.
After all, no one knew what was inside, and lighting the fire here could only purify the upper area of Dakensburg.
But the adjutant of the Knight of Divine Grace seemed to have great confidence in the situation inside, and Duke Adeline seemed to slowly believe his crazy and bold guess, and completely boarded his pirate ship.
The rats quickly faded away in the pursuit of the sun.
"This sunlight suddenly became so fierce that it made me feel a little dazzling. Let's go into the castle and take a look." The king covered his forehead and walked towards the castle. There, the sun had already fallen into the hall of Dakens.
At this moment, the Red Dragon Earl, who had been leaning on the big rubble, holding the sword and watching coldly, suddenly moved slightly. He looked at the king's back and raised his eyebrows slightly. Just now, he saw a flash of blue flame around those eyes.
