Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

"The monster in the lake is coming ashore!"

Looking down from the mountain, the lights in the small town by the lake gradually light up, and the town seems to be gradually waking up.

The monsters in the lake often come ashore to look for food. The residents of the town cannot be said to be frightened, but they are still frightened every time.

Although there were "big lords" and "second lords" in this territory before, they only knew how to collect taxes and did not care about the lives of the residents in the town.

On the contrary, they would also enjoy being chased and eaten by the residents of the town in the mountains where monsters would not go.

And if you don't use force to drive them away, the monster will keep wandering in the town.

Therefore, the residents of the town can only ask the knight for help. After collecting enough property, the knight will bring his guards to help drive away the monsters.

But it was different now. As soon as Hobert heard the sound of the gong, he immediately called Philip, Conrad and Schier to the study: "Sier! Immediately ask the residents of the town to take refuge near the Lord's Mansion.

"Philip led the valet to be responsible for welcoming us and preparing the refuge space, and Conrad led his subordinates to maintain order!

"After the old people, children, and women have all retreated to the mountain, we will organize the young adults to try to surround and kill the monsters!"

When Hobert was assigning tasks, Forsi was also woken up and went to the study. When she saw Hobert putting on his cloak while talking, she stepped forward to help Hobert tidy up his cloak: "Be careful!"

Hobert nodded and said to Philip and others: "Go quickly!"

Philip was still a little worried: "Sir..."

Sill, who had seen Hobert's power, smiled and said: "Don't worry, the monster will bite us all to death, and nothing will happen to the lord."

Hobert smiled at Forsi, raised his sword with both hands, and walked out quickly. He had seen a monster when he first arrived at the territory. Although it was quite powerful, it seemed not very intelligent. This kind of monster Very easy to kill.

Hobert glanced at the sky. The clouds covered the moon, the cold wind howled, and it was pitch black outside.

Hobert did not feel cold, but felt a little excited.

As soon as he stepped out of the Lord's Mansion, he heard several people outside shouting: "Your Majesty has an order, come to the Lord's Mansion to take refuge!"

It was Sil and others, they were shouting as they walked down the mountain.

Hobert smiled slightly, Siel's cleverness was finally used in the right place.

Suddenly, Hobert seemed to think of something. He raised the long sword in his hand, and a bright light suddenly emitted from the tip of the sword.

This is the use of the ability of the "Light Priest Ring", but as Hobert injects more and more spirituality into the ring, his long sword becomes brighter and brighter, until Hobert, The entire Lord's Mansion was illuminated.

Especially on a dark night, this light is enough for the entire town to see.

And the first batch of town residents who came to avoid it saw Lord Hobert wrapped in holy light. This scene was imprinted in their minds and made them unforgettable for the rest of their lives!

The lord is truly a "god's favored one"! He is just like the story about the Beloved in the "Life Bible", bright, holy, and wise!

In fact, Hobert only did this in the hope that he could become a "lighthouse" to guide the people who were taking refuge, and by the way strengthen his directionality as a lord: if you run towards the light emitted by the lord, you can reach the place of refuge.

Hobert did not expect that so many people would kneel down towards him, and even more people were stunned on the spot, seeming to be mumbling words without knowing what they were saying.

When Hobert saw that the lights and torches in the town were moving towards him, the light on the tip of his sword gradually extinguished.

The people around were all blinded by the light just now, and it seemed that the lights and torches were not very effective. When everyone got used to the dark environment, they discovered that the lord had already disappeared.

At this time, Hobert was walking on the streets of the town. The land around the town was very fertile, so even though monsters often attacked, there were still many residents in the town.

It's just that monsters have killed many residents in the past few years, and there have been many ownerless houses in the town. Now those ownerless houses belong to the lord's mansion, or to be more specific, they all belong to Hobert.

"Help!"

Hobert immediately followed the sound and rushed into a yard. A young couple was blocked by a monster at the door of the house.

The wife was holding a child and looking at the monster in front of her with a horrified expression.

The husband, holding an ax in hand, pretended to be calm and faced the monster.

And that monster is a bit like a fish in Hobert's impression, the kind of fish that evolved limbs for the first time in the ocean.

Its head has most of the characteristics of a fish, its body is covered with scales, it has short but powerful limbs, and a thick tail with fins.

The way the monster exerts its strength is very similar to that of a crocodile. After accumulating strength in its limbs, it finds the right moment and pounces on the young man holding an axe.

The young man was so frightened that he swung his ax and hid, but he couldn't hit anything. Looking towards the door, he saw that the monster's tail was stepped on by a man in a cloak.

The monster, which is more than three meters long, is like a freshly caught fish. No matter how it jumps, jumps or twists, it cannot escape.

The monster then remembered and turned around to bite him. As a result, a black shadow flashed past and the monster's head was missing.

Only then did the young man recognize it: "Sire!"

Hobert grabbed the young man who was about to kneel down to thank him: "Go to the Lord's Mansion!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The family was so deep in sleep that they didn't hear the gong. Xier and others woke them up by shouting, but it was already too late.

Watching them leave the town in a hurry, Hobert jumped to the somewhat dilapidated bell tower of the town.

This is the tallest building in the town, and Hobert can roughly see the entire town using his spiritual vision.

Everyone should have evacuated, and the monsters started attacking.

Hobert stared at them quietly, and soon discovered that these monsters were obviously organized and rushed into the town in three groups from three different directions.

Poultry and livestock that were not taken away in time, as well as guard dogs left in the yard, suffered.

Hobert was thinking in his mind that if he had a hundred soldiers armed with advanced rifles, he could easily stop the charge of these monsters.

Unfortunately he didn't, so the lord had to charge into the battle himself.

Spotting the spot where the monster's attack was strongest, Hobert used the ability of "Ocean Pendant" to fly over low: "Corrosion!"

There was no need to "charge up" at all, the "corrosion" ability immediately corroded the monsters' minds, and the dozen monsters at the front immediately started biting each other.

Hobert summoned the "Wind Blade" again, and the three monsters were immediately cut with extremely deep wounds by the sharp "Wind Blade", and their blood spattered far away.

There was no one else here, so Hobert began to use the thirty or forty monsters with the strongest impact as targets, trying to become as familiar with the capabilities of the "Ocean Pendant" as possible.

Under the "lightning strike", one monster will be burned to coke, and the surrounding monsters will be numbed by the electricity, making it difficult to move for a while.

The strike area of ​​the "Wind Blade" is larger, but the monsters have rough skin and thick flesh. Although the "Wind Blade" can make them bleed, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries.

While Hobert was pondering the use of the "Ocean Pendant", he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his spirituality.

Hobert quickly moved away from the monsters and took off his cloak, which was already covered in blood.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded: "The use of sealed objects and magical items is prohibited here!"

It was the voice of the "Punishing Knight" who escaped from here a few days ago.

Hobert sneered, they really know how to choose their time! Or maybe this monster attack has something to do with them.

But this was not the time to ponder this. The enemy's attack came at a moment's notice. The "Corrupted Baron" and "Arsonist", who had already recovered, rushed towards Hobert from both sides.

"Baron of Corruption" kicked a monster's broken arm and completed the "bribery" process: "Weaken!"

Hobert once again used the "shield" ability of the "Order Crystal" to block the opponent's "weakening".

"Punishing Knight" immediately felt the increase in his strength. He sneered in his heart: The reason why this kid is so powerful is because he used magical items to accumulate!

The "ban" at the "Retribution Knight" level does not mean that after "the use of magical items is prohibited", Hobert will no longer be able to use magical items.

Hobert can still be used, but each time it is used, the power of the "Punishing Knight" will increase by one point, and when the "Punishing Knight" punishes Hobert for disobeying the "prohibition", Hobert usually has difficulty evading it. and is in a state of being weakened by the opponent.

This is what is called "punishment"!

The "Arsonist" who rushed in front used the "Burning Wall" to surround Hobert, creating an opportunity for the "Retribution Knight" to follow up with the "Retribution".

The "Corrupted Baron" kept his distance and was ready to surround Hobert at any time.

This was a tactic they had discussed a long time ago. If it were any other Beyonder, with the "Cold Night Team" having the absolute upper hand, they might have died here tonight.

But of course Hobert is different. He still has many strengths that have not been exposed.

The "Punishing Knight" was about to start punishing according to the tactics. He felt that his strength had increased again, and he sneered: "Death..."

Suddenly, two bronze doors with complex occult patterns appeared next to the "Punishing Knight". Indescribable eyes could be seen from the doors. The members of the "Cold Night Team" suddenly felt as if they were being attacked by something terrifying. Something caught my eye.

The monsters that were about to pounce on Hobert immediately dispersed out of fear, as if they were making way for everyone to make way for the battlefield.

"die!"

"Punishing Knight" used his extraordinary ability, but he was grabbed by the pale hands extending from the bronze door, and he had to use "death" on these arms.

But the effect was not great, after all, the owners of those arms were already dead.

A series of pitiful screams came from the bronze door, and the fear in the hearts of the "Punishing Knight" and others was detonated, and it became difficult to concentrate for a while.

Hobert's counterattack began. He once again entered a low-flying state, like a swooping eagle, rushing towards the "arsonist" who was trying to condense the flames and prepare to burn the "Gate to the Underworld". At the same time, he used Use "Lightning Strike" to attack "Corrupted Baron".

Although the "Punishing Knight"'s strength continues to increase, he still has difficulty breaking free from the "Gate of the Underworld" within a few seconds.

"Corrupted Baron" is also trying its best to avoid "lightning strikes", but this skill has a certain tracking effect. Unless it is countered with other abilities of the same level, it will be difficult to escape the fate of being struck.

Hobert had experience in previous expeditions. Even if he "distorted" the landing point of the lightning strike and was not directly hit by the "lightning strike", he would still be affected by the accompanying paralysis effect and move slowly for two or three seconds.

So Hobert created an excellent opportunity for himself to attack the "Arsonist". While flying over, a "Out of Control Stone" had already been thrown over: "Out of Control!"

The "Arsonist"'s eyes narrowed. He knew the power of the "Out of Control Stone" from his previous experience, so he quickly raised his pistol and accurately hit the "Out of Control Stone" at night, and quickly dodged it.

For Hobert, it doesn’t matter that the “Out of Control Stone” did not achieve the desired effect. Anyway, it completed the “bribery” process: “Weaken!”

The "Arsonist" felt that his agility and strength had been weakened, and he could only barely avoid the long sword in Hobert's hand, and was soon cut open by the long sword.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep, and the "arsonist" didn't take it too seriously.

"exile!"

Hobert felt a huge push and pushed himself more than ten meters away.

It turned out that the "Punishing Knight" had escaped from trouble, and a pile of magma appeared in front of the "Gate of the Underworld", burning off many of those pale arms.

This caused Hobert to immediately end the summons of the "Gate to the Underworld", which consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy, and the two bronze gates disappeared immediately.

Hobert didn't know what ability the "Punishing Knight" used to get out of trouble so quickly.

"Retribution Knight" and the other three people hardly stopped at all. When Hobert was pushed away, they chose to retreat again.

This time Hobert did not pursue, because he had already decided to launch a surprise attack on the opponent.

As for the way to find the other party, Hobert glanced at the two-handed sword in his hand and showed a slight smile.

He had just noticed that the "Corrupted Baron" already had serious dark circles under his eyes. Although there was no problem in fighting now, after tonight, his combat effectiveness would definitely be affected.

The reason why they were so eager to launch the second round of attacks probably had a lot to do with the fact that the "Corrupted Baron" was about to fall asleep.

And the "arsonist" was cut again, hehehe~

Hobert suddenly discovered that he had a lot of "dirty tricks". The "Cold Night Squad"'s surprise attack did not bring any psychological pressure to Hobert. On the contrary, it also put huge pressure on the "Cold Night Squad".

At this time, an eyeless monster rushed out of the street. Hobert raised his sword and entered a new battle.

Soon Hobert discovered that these monsters seemed to be testing him in an organized way, and their attacks actually had certain tactics.

This allowed Hobert to break away from the battle and return to the top of the bell tower to quietly observe the monsters.

Soon he discovered that the monsters were communicating in unpleasant voices, and he found a human figure among the monsters.

Sorry, I still haven’t been able to reply to everyone’s comments today. I’ll give it a try tomorrow. I’ll have time tomorrow to talk about what the author has encountered in the past two days. It’s quite interesting.
