The teams were assigned.
They opened their respective stone doors and entered the corresponding Toad Palace.
In the blink of an eye, the hall returned to its original state.
There were no stone doors between the walls … … Or it could be said that these 32 passages were created in a different way. Through the chaos treasure given to Marittis by the Bufo, the "Stone of Ecdyma".
The purpose was to completely separate the knight regiment.
What awaited the different knight squads was to fall into Marittis's meticulously arranged trap.
Of course, even if they didn't accept the additional treaty, they would still fall into the trap if they forcefully destroyed Toad Palace … … There was another reason for the temporary treaty to separate the knight company.
At this time.
Amidst the pus flowing out of the toad statue, Marydis, who was holding a pure emerald, slowly emerged. A swollen tongue full of pustules and small holes stuck out from the hair covering her face, licking her damp curly hair.
"The most troublesome assassin is unexpectedly not following the young knight. This is very easy to deal with … … Although the next knight is also troublesome, it isn't the worst situation.
First, I will absorb a few weak knights to improve my physical condition.
Then, I'll find an opportunity to get rid of all the knights around this brat, and capture him alive and bring him to the Lord … If he really is related to the Book of Necromancy, I'll definitely receive an unprecedented favor by presenting him with such a great gift.
I will be very close to becoming a legend … … "
… …
In the passage lit by the toad oil.
Knight Asamo, who had a strong physique and almost occupied the entire passage, walked at the front.
Abel followed closely behind this Shaman priest.
The two often exchanged a few words and seemed to have a good relationship.
Asamo Thundercaller was born as a Shaman priest because of his family's origin. Before entering the destiny space, he already knew some basic Shaman witchcraft. He could summon thunder and lightning by chanting incantations under certain circumstances.
During the Apprentice Knight period, he majored in [Control].
Asama had perfectly combined the attributes of the Shaman Priest and the Wild Beast, wielding the Bear Soul and cultivating a body comparable to that of a giant bear. He had combined the most primitive power of the Shaman Priest's Heavenly Lightning with his own fighting style.
He was a hot-tempered Shaman warrior.
Of course, it was related to thunder and lightning.
From time to time, Asamo would also glance at Demps, who was in the middle of the group … It was as if he could sense a unique source of lightning in Demps's body.
Mia naturally followed Han Dong closely.
Even with the addition of two powerful knights, in Mia's eyes, Han Dong was still the most reliable.
All kinds of bones were already in his hands, ready to release bone spells to protect himself at any time.
Han Dong, on the other hand, seemed to be at ease. Taking advantage of the free time in the passage, he tried to have an in-depth conversation with the bard whom he had never met before. In the battle at the lakeside, Han Dong had made up his mind to pull this senior into his plan.
I'm not floating ~ ~
The world spins, I read ♪ ~
My history is like a night watchman.
Joy and mystery have an incomprehensible attraction.
The poetic singing resounded in the tunnel, making everyone feel refreshed and at the same time, they could use the music to investigate the tunnel.
"Thank you, Senior Meredith."
Meredith always had a kind smile on her face. "Nicholas … Since you're someone valued by Commander Hugo, even if you didn't say anything, I would still do my best to protect you.
However, you seem to be deliberately hiding something. I don't know if it's just my imagination. "
Han Dong was also shocked by Meredith's words.
Logically speaking, from Han Dong's subjective point of view, he played the role of a standard salted fish the whole time, and did not show any excessive desire.
"It should be your imagination, senior … I just want to preserve my strength so that I won't be a burden in a critical moment, so I didn't do anything before entering Toad Palace."
Meredith did not answer and continued to hum.
It was an unusually long passage.
Han Dong and his group walked in the passage for more than five hours.
He even suspected that small-scale conflicts had broken out in other areas before he finally saw the end.
"Finally … Where does such a long passage lead to?"
When he pushed open the cold iron door at the end of the passage, it was neither a secret room in Toad Palace nor the lord's bedroom.
[Backyard]
It was a square-shaped backyard area.
Moreover, Toad Palace, which was built in a cave at the bottom of the lake, should be in a sealed state at the top … However, the roof of the backyard corresponded to the sky, and it was not some kind of illusory stone, but the real sky.
It also meant that the space of the entire Toad Palace had already shown a chaotic state under the blessing of the title deed and the chaotic treasure.
In the backyard, which was half the size of a football field, there were four strange statues in each corner.
Strangely, the statues had almost no connection with toads in terms of appearance. They corresponded to:
1. The serpent-man disciple with a hook in his hand.
2. A black group with an indefinite form, both with an obsidian shell and a pus structure.
3. A giant savage with a body full of pustules, wearing a snakeskin coat, and holding a toad hammer.
4. A dark bat with a face full of fangs, and a beady eyeball on its wings.
They did not seem to be completely people of Toad Palace, but were related to the Bufo for some reason. They were the Mantis Demons guarding this place … Even if they were still in the form of stone statues, they still emitted an aura similar to a [Mature Form – Mantis Demon].
Judging from the aura, each of their attributes were different.
However …
Compared to these Mantis Demon stone statues, Han Dong's attention was drawn deeper … Through layers of moisture, he saw the entrance of a cave blocked by a boulder with inscriptions.
Traces of extreme yin aura were constantly leaking out through the cracks in the stone.
"As expected … Because of the problem with the little magic eye, part of the target of the [Bufo] has changed to me.
The cave behind the boulder should belong to the area outside the battle.
If my guess is correct, it corresponds to the nest where the toad incarnate lives. "
Han Dong hurriedly looked at Demps in front of him and communicated with his eyes.
After getting Demps's' convinced 'look, Han Dong also felt relieved … If he was really found by the Bufo, even if Han Dong's mark was ineffective, Demps still had the [Mother] hidden in the dark as a safety card.
At this moment.
Gurgle gurgle ~
The lawn area in the center of the backyard turned into a pool of water.
A humanoid lifeform stepped on a toad … To be precise, its lower body was merged with the toad, and its upper body was covered in a cloak.
This person was the messenger who signed the [Battle Book] with the expeditionary army at the lake.
When this messenger appeared, the humidity in the backyard immediately increased.
It directly caused the stones on the surface of the stone statue to disintegrate layer by layer, revealing the Mantis Demons hidden inside.
A total of five mature Mantis Demons, if measured by the strength of the Scarlet Count, was equivalent to fighting 5.5 Scarlet Counts at the same time … And it was in a humid environment that was advantageous to the other party.
If the other knight squads came to the backyard, they would probably be in trouble.
Shaman Asamo, who was standing at the front, didn't look too good. He used bandages to wrap his palm and axe handle to prevent it from falling out of his hand in the following battle.
"Five … and two of them have already shown signs of atavism. Should we fight separately or work together? "
Han Dong immediately gave his opinion. "We are not familiar with the two seniors, so it's not easy to cooperate.
This group of Mantis Demons seems to have lived together for hundreds of years. It's better to separate. "
"Well … choose the target!"
