Chapter 479 The Betrayal Knight (1)
After dealing with the two dark elves corpses, Su Yang and Sellers both breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the battle just now seemed to have the upper hand, but only they knew the difficulties.
If it weren't for Hirok's help, Su Yang and Sellers would have been exhausted by the two dark elf corpses. It would be so difficult to deal with just the corpses with a little bit of Diregi's aura. Su Yang could hardly imagine if he encountered Diregi's original body, if that time really came, would he be able to deal with it?
Shaking his head and leaving these tedious ideas behind, Su Yang looked at Sellers and said, "Come on?"
Sellers thought for a while, took out two pieces of jerky meat and a bag of water from the bracelet on his wrist, and sat cross-legged himself while giving Su Yang a piece of jerky meat, saying, "Eat something first and take a rest."
Su Yang took the jerky, pinched it with his hands, and thought to himself: This thing is too hard.
But no matter how much you complain, you still have to eat it. After biting hard, Su Yang was surprised to find that this thing didn't seem as bad as you imagined.
Looking at Su Yang's expression, Cyrus was too lazy to blink and said, "This kind of jerky meat is specially formulated by the Empire for senior officers. It uses a kind of monster sand cow native to the Yuyan Empire. It is often a small piece that can provide the energy required for an adult man in a day."
Oh, the Caesar Empire is really rich.
This sand beef native to the Yuyan Empire is in short supply in the market because of its delicious meat and is naturally expensive because it is well-preserved. When Su Yang was purchasing supplies, he also saw this kind of jerky on the market. He clearly remembered that a piece of fist-sized chunk costs twenty gold coins at that time. You must know that the annual expenses of ordinary residents of Vetalun are almost the same.
Not to mention other aspects of the Caesar Empire, at least in terms of the treatment of the army, the attitudes of the kings of all dynasties were very consistent, that is, to give the army the best treatment as much as possible. This is one of the reasons why the Caesar Empire's army was willing to sacrifice its blood for the royal family to fight on the battlefield.
After the brief meal, Su Yang and Sellers identified the direction and continued to rush towards the depths of Neopela.
......
After a continent.
Su Yang and Cyrus have already arrived at the middle half of Neopela. Although this large village where the dark elf talks about human borders covers a large area, it is not that big. The reason why Su Yang and the others took an hour to reach the middle half of the village was because they were attacked by dark elf corpses no less than ten times along the way, especially the more they walked into the village, the more frequent the dark elf corpses appeared.
Fortunately, as soon as I entered the center of the village, the dark elves who lived here because of the plague did not mutate, which made Su Yang and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, as soon as he entered the village, Cyrus headed straight to the clock tower standing in the middle of the village, and his quick movement caught Su Yang off guard.
"Hey, I say, Miss Cyrus..."
Before Su Yang finished speaking, Cyrus, who was running in front, threw a fierce look at him: "Please call me Lieutenant Cyrus."
"Uh...well, Lieutenant Cyrus, is there anything in that clock tower? Why are you so anxious to go there?" Su Yang asked while moving quickly.
Cyrus replied while rushing to the road, "Before we set off, the Imperial Intelligence Department sent a team of knights here. According to the rules, they should pass information to Vettalen every two days. But strangely, just the day before we set off, they did not deliver the information. His Highness thought that something might have happened to them, so he asked me to investigate what happened to them. According to the last information they passed, they camped at the Bell Tower in the middle of Neopela three days ago, so I think there may be clues about their whereabouts in the Bell Tower."
So that's it, Su Yang knew it. No wonder Sellers rushed to the bell tower so anxiously.
Su Yang, who had figured out the reason, did not say much nonsense, followed Cyrus intently and rushed to the bell tower.
But as the saying goes, the horses are dead when they look at the mountain. The towering bell tower looks very close to the two, but in fact, it took a stick of incense to reach the bottom of them.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the bell tower, Sellers took out a small horn and whined to his lips. This was a horn specially made by the intelligence department of the Caesar Empire. Only people from the intelligence department of the Caesar Empire can use it to make a special sound, and this sound is the signal of communication between intelligence personnel.
After blew quietly for a while, there was no response near the bell tower. Cyrus couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the elite knights of that team have died for their country?
Chiu!
At this moment, a phoenix sound suddenly came from the sky. Su Yang looked up and saw snow clouds circling continuously in the northwest of the bell tower. Seeing this scene, Su Yang understood that Xueyun must have discovered something. Without any hesitation, Su Yang ran towards Xueyun's location.
When Cyrus saw Su Yang's actions, hesitated for a moment and followed.
The two of them didn't run for long before they arrived at the place where Xueyun had been hovering. They were shocked at the same time when they looked at each other.
"how so?!!"
Sailers said in disbelief.
Is there anything else that was presented to the two of them? It was the body of the members of the Caesar Empire Knights team who had lost their news.
These members seemed to have suffered great torture before their death, and the bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes. What is particularly noticeable is that the bodies were more or less stained with some sludge-like things, which seemed to be left by the murderer who killed them.
Su Yang looked at the mud on these corpses and felt thoughtful. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen such mud in the game in his previous life, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Rest in peace."
Sellers, who adjusted his emotions, whispered with one hand.
To be honest, the reason why she had such a big reaction just now was entirely due to shock, because this knight team is composed of cultivators above the fourth-level intermediate level, and the leading captain himself has reached the fifth-level intermediate level. And the existence that can kill them all must not be underestimated.
"Wait a minute, Cyrus, did you just say this is a cavalry team?" Su Yang asked as if he had discovered something.
Cyrus nodded when he heard this: "Yeah, that's right."
"Then is the organization of this squad organized according to the regulations of the empire?"
"Yes, what's wrong, have you discovered anything?"
"That's right. The Empire clearly stipulates that each Knights team consists of a captain and nine members, a total of ten people. But no matter how many of the people I put here, I only have nine corpses. Where did the rest go?"
After hearing Su Yang's words, Sellers also reacted and looked down. As Su Yang said, there was a missing body. Unfortunately, the owner of the missing body was the captain of this knight team.
"Is there still a survivor?" Sellers murmured to himself.
Survivor? Not necessarily.
Su Yang said in his heart, because he had just carefully observed the nine corpses placed together and found that although the nine corpses were covered with wounds of all sizes, all fatal injuries were all in the throat and were directly cut by sharp blades.
"Help!"
Just then, a call for help came from a distance. Sellers, who was eager to save people, rushed directly to the source of the sound without any hesitation.
"Hey...wait a moment..."
Before Su Yang could say his words, Cyrus ran away. In desperation, Su Yang could only shake her head and follow Cyrus to avoid any accidents.
The two of them ran towards the place where the call for help came. After a while, an empty square appeared in front of them. In the center of the square, a middle-aged man wearing imperial armor was lying limp on the ground. A bandaged monster was standing in front of him.
Pretender?
Wait, how could the disguiser appear here? Haven’t the violent hunting group been wiped out by them? Could it be that there are still members of the violent hunting group alive?
The situation at this time was not allowed to be thought about by Su Yang, because the monster that looked like a disguiser had already pounced on the knight who was limping on the ground.
"court death!"
Seeing this, Cyrus was furious. As the youngest lieutenant of the Empire, how could she allow the enemy to hurt the soldiers of the Empire in front of her?
I saw Sellers' sword in his hand piercing it into the ground. As the ground surging, sharp blades with barbed blades rushed out from the ground and headed straight for the soles of the disguiser.
Originally, Su Yang, who was standing by, was ready to support Cyrus at any time, because in his impression, although the disguiser was not strong enough, he was not an existence that was easy to deal with.
But the development of the matter surprised Su Yang. The snake-belly sword that surged from the ground directly penetrated the body of the disguiser and stabbed it high into the air.
"Sir Cyrus, it's great, it's great to see you again." The knight who was limp turned his head and looked at it. As he saw Cyrus, a surprise flashed in his eyes.
He got up from the ground in a hurry, and the knight ran quickly to Sellers and respectfully said: "Hello, sir, Imperial Intelligence Department, the captain Misa, has met the sir."
"Misa, right? What the hell is going on? Why are you the only one left?" Sellers asked.
Just as Misa was about to answer, a look of horror suddenly appeared in her eyes. She pointed her left hand behind Cyrus and said in horror: "It, it, it's alive again!!!"
Sellers subconsciously turned his head and looked at it, but found that the disguise behind him had long been dead and could not die anymore. When he was wondering, a chill suddenly came from his lower abdomen.
Looking down, Cyrus was surprised to find that a dagger was deeply inserted into her lower abdomen, and the owner of the big hand holding the dagger was Misa, the Imperial Knight she had just rescued.
