Heroes of the Invincible Knight

At night, a noble mansion in the capital was brightly lit, and the burning whale oil lamp almost prevented the entire mansion from finding a dark corner at night.

Such extravagant use of expensive whale oil lamps can only be done by the top nobles in the kingdom.

And this mansion is more like a weakened version of the castle. The high walls and turrets are not bad, but the height is not so exaggerated.

Teams of guards in heavy armor were constantly patrolling, and there was no possibility of sneaking in except for a hard break.

Although the orcs did not come in, with the encouragement of the kingdom, many nobles expanded their armaments.

In the past, the aristocrats who relied on infiltrating the garrison army of the king's capital to control their armed forces simply expanded a group of professional soldiers, or directly put up the armed forces that were originally under the table.

The lights in this house were actually a little abnormal to be on in the middle of the night, but it didn't arouse any suspicion.

In the hundreds of years of peace, the upper-class nobles of the capital had long ago racked their brains to have fun and talk about ostentation.

For example, Marquis Dominique who greeted Li Cha at the gate of the city before, although his attitude towards Li Cha was respectful, in fact, he was notoriously extravagant and arrogant in the capital.

The Dominiques are famous for dressing all their servants in the most fashionable and luxurious clothes.

The white dress made of fine cashmere and down, this kind of luxurious clothes that even the little nobles in the Northland could not afford, was the daily uniform of the maids of the Dominique family.

The fire-colored brocade jacket with gold thorns is the daily attire of the servants of the Dominique family.

If you walk into the mansion of the Marquis of Dominic, you can see a group of people dressed as nobles doing things like servants, and there are even incidents where guests and servants of Dominique's family collided with each other, which makes Marquis Dominique very proud.

There are also some perverts who like sex, and even torture people are not uncommon.

In comparison, the behavior of burning money just like lighting whale oil lamps and turning the night of the mansion into day has become more normal.

It's just that compared to the light on the surface, there are unspeakable evils hidden in the bunker deep in the mansion.

More than ten meters below the mansion, a huge underground space was dug out. It was damp and oppressive, and even the torches hanging on both sides of the corridor could not dispel the coldness of the underground space.

As long as you enter this underground space, you can smell a strong smell of blood.

In the middle of this underground space, there is a strange symbol drawn, the bright red mark is dipped in some dark green paint, just looking at the shape, there is an indescribable creepiness.

And around this scary pattern stood a row of soldiers with armor covering their faces. Only a pair of eyes were exposed on the whole face, and the fanaticism in the eyes could not be expressed.

"Master Marquis, you are ready."

In the circle of people, the only person wearing a cloth robe was the Marquis of the Kingdom who had planned to attack Li Cha before.

"Well, let's get started!"

"Yes! My lord!"

"Who are you!"

"Damn it!"

"How dare you kidnap a knight!"

"Let me out! Our family is rich, as long as you let me out, you can have as many Jinnars as you want!"

"I'm the leader of a thousand soldiers in the volunteer team. If I disappear, someone will definitely come looking for me. You'd better let me go!"

The old man standing in front gave an order, and soldiers in white prison uniforms were escorting people into the hall one after another around the hall. The prisoners were all wearing heavy iron chains on their hands and feet. The wounds on his body basically left him with no ability to move, and he was basically dragged away by soldiers, obviously suffering a lot of torture.

However, some of the prisoners who were brought in were in good spirits. Although there were only more than twenty people, the noisy voices made the depressing space a little more lively.

Some of them yelled at the people around them, some still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that they would have a chance of being redeemed, and some of them were pale and heartbroken, although they opened their eyes, they had no hope at all.

The only thing these people have in common is that they were all masters at the knight level.

No matter how these people yelled, they couldn't resist, and their threats were not taken seriously by the people present.

The Marquis is basically the top nobleman in the kingdom. With the power of this old man, killing a few knights silently will not cause any disturbance.

It took some time to capture these more than twenty knights without leaving any traces.

Moreover, they were quite cautious in their actions. None of the captured knights had a strong background. Most of them were landless knights from outside. They had no acquaintances or roots in the capital and no one would care too much if they disappeared.

The so-called thousand-man leader of the Volunteer Team is just a temporary cannon fodder. Now that the orc crisis has been lifted, who cares about the Volunteer Team organized before? Most of the so-called Volunteer Team are young people from all walks of life in the capital. It was organized by the strong people, and it is impossible to maintain it for a long time. Not long ago, most of them were dismissed under the order of Rennes. If they were officers of the Imperial Guard, they might make these top nobles a little scruples. At least someone will hold them accountable if something goes wrong. .

In front of the common people, even these knights without background are still aloft. In front of the Marquis and other top nobles, how noble are their faceless mortal beings.

"It's time to start."

These knights cursed or begged for mercy, but they didn't affect the actions of the sergeants escorting them at all. When they were dragged to the weird symbol in the center, the old marquis gave orders, and the sergeants who escorted them pulled out their swords from their pockets. Out of the dagger, easily cut their throats.

Some people struggled to resist, and some people even had a ray of vindictiveness on their bodies, and twisted their waists a few times, but they were useless and tightly tied with ropes. At this moment, even an ordinary person can It took their lives easily, not to mention that those who did it were all well-trained sergeants.

Blood flowed from the severed throat to the ground, and the person who was cursing could only utter intermittent whimpers at this moment, and was pinned down by the sergeants and could not move.

Twenty knights, who could completely form the framework of a banner group, did not die in the battle with the orcs, but died quietly in this secret underground space.

As the twenty knights gradually lost their vital signs, blood seeped into the strange symbols, and the blood color on the ground became thicker and thicker, and finally a faint light appeared.

"continue!"

The old man looked at the scene in front of him and frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, and gave orders in the direction of the deep corridor.

Soon, more people were escorted over.

"let me out!"

"Who are you!"

"Hey!"

"ah!"

This time the sergeants brought in some ordinary people, but there were a large number of them, hundreds of them. Most of them wore shabby sackcloth, and they were all civilians who were surviving at the bottom. These people would not have any background , The sergeants took them into the bloody light and slashed them with their knives.

The strange symbols on the ground seemed to have been activated by the blood of the previous twenty knights, and they began to actively draw blood from the human body, and the blood of hundreds of people was drained in a short time.

At the same time, the previously faint red light also became more prosperous, and there were phantoms moving in the light and shadow, as if something was about to appear.

At this time, some changes finally appeared on the face of the old man Gujing Wubo.

"Stay back!"

After ordering the soldiers to back off, the old man moved forward a few steps excitedly, stopped in front of the bloody phantom, and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Great Lord Diabo, your bloodline patron has offered you a fresh sacrifice!"

"Who is calling for the great demon lord Diabo?"

The sudden sound, like low-pitched thunder, frightened everyone around.

The phantom in the red light gradually solidified. Although the opponent's skin color could not be seen clearly, he could vaguely see a pair of thick horns on the opponent's head that looked like an elder.

"A member of the Bakken family?"

The Bakken family is a large human family that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is one of the families that has prospered since the end of the Elf Empire. It has existed longer than the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Everyone knows that the ancestors of the Bakken family won the title of Marquis after making contributions with Aragorn, but they don't know that the Bakken family used to be one of the bloodline nobles who ruled over human beings.

Before the rise of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the rulers of humans were bloodline nobles like the Bakken family.

The so-called noble blood is a group of human beings with special blood flowing in their bodies. Their blood is not the noble blood blown out in modern society, but the real ones with special abilities.

The blood nobles in the early years of mankind were basically descendants of demons.

Demons were still relatively active during the heyday of the Elven Empire, and they often came to the mainland from a special abyss. Some demons have similar aesthetics to humans and elves. They could not provoke the elves in their heyday, but humans suffered. Human beings are born in this way.

These humans with the blood of demons have inherited some of the abilities of demons, as well as their irritable, cruel and chaotic nature.

Because of the powerful blood of the devil, these humans with the blood of the devil in their bodies have power many times stronger than ordinary humans, and they can even more easily get in touch with the abyss devil to make a deal, and they can borrow the power of the devil at every turn.

Backed by powerful force, after the fall of the elven empire, the bloodline nobles gradually became the early rulers of mankind.

However, although the blood of the devil can bring powerful power, it will also make people more tyrannical. The rule of the blood nobles over human beings can basically be described as lewd and immoral, which is very unpopular.

With the intensification of the exhaustion of magic power, the blood nobles first lost contact with the abyss demons, and then their own blood power was extremely difficult to be stimulated, and they were quickly overthrown after Aragorn's incident.

The Bakken family saw the opportunity early, took the initiative to seek refuge with Aragorn, and only then won the position of Marquis in the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

The ancestors of the Bakken family did not say how loyal they were to Aragorn, but on the surface they had no two hearts. Later, with a little strength and training bonus of the demon blood, they made a lot of contributions in the war and stabilized their position.

But the Marquis of Bakken of this generation just happened to encounter the recovery of magic power, not only reactivated his own demon blood, but also found a way to connect with the abyss demon from the family's classics.

The devil's blood magnified the greed, tyranny, and yearning for chaos deep in the Marquis of Bakken's heart.

Restoring the rule of the blood nobles became one of his goals.

"Great Lord Diabo, please give your descendants even stronger power."

"A breath of reality, fresh blood, and soul."

The red demon sucked it hard, and the surrounding blood was quickly consumed, leaving only a mummy in an instant.

Afterwards, the demon seemed to become more solid, he looked at the Marquis of Bakken and said:

"The abyss pays attention to the exchange of equal value. The sacrifice you contribute is not enough to exchange for powerful power."

After all, the demon actually looked like he was about to leave.

"Great Master Diabo, give me some more power, and I can open the passage to reality for you."

"oh?"

Hearing that he could enter reality, the devil immediately became interested.

"My lord, there are indications that the magic power is recovering, and the magic circle connecting the abyss can be opened."

"Do you have a way to open the abyss circle?"

"As long as there is enough blood, and this opportunity is coming soon, I can immediately provoke a human strife. I hope the great Lord Diabo can give me more strength."

The tone of the Marquis Bakken's speech clearly did not regard himself as a human being, but had already replaced himself in the role of a demon.

"boom!"

"ah!"

Suddenly, the red phantom raised his hand and pointed, a drop of blood pierced the skin of the Marquis of Bakken head-on, and then the Marquis of Bakken screamed with a flushed face.

The skin of the whole person began to turn red, and the lines on the face became heavier, especially on the hands, where scaly skin appeared, and the characteristics of demonization became a little obvious.

"Thanks to the great Master Diabo."

The Marquis of Bakken, who was delighted to feel his change, ignored the pain on his body, but respectfully fell to the ground again, while the phantom of the demon Diabo gradually disappeared.

"If you disappoint a demon lord, you know what to expect."
