In the night, clusters of torches lit up the road along the way. The north wind was blowing on his body as if a knife was blowing. At this time, it was approaching the territory occupied by the demon beast army. It was rarely visited here, and even hunters would not come to such a dangerous place. In the darkness, a cavalry rushed over, holding a small white flag in his hand, and shouted in a solemn voice: "Is it Lord Gerald's team?"

“That’s right!”

Gerald stepped forward and said, "How is the situation?"

"It's not optimistic. Lord Alvin is waiting for you in the camp. I'll take you there now?"

"Okay, lead the way."

"Yes, sir!"

The knight was walking in the front, with flags in his hand and galloping for nearly three miles with everyone. A large area of ​​Light Knight Camp appeared in the jungle ahead. The outer wall was built with stones and formed a stone wall about four meters high. It was very simple, and the stone wall was even leaking. And in the camp, there were waves of war horses neighing.

...

Everyone passed through a wooden door and entered the camp directly. Suddenly, the cavalry that had been resting in the camp walked out of the camp tent. Many people looked over with bright eyes and focused their eyes on a group of blood-colored castle students such as Luo Lan, Lin Ke, and Rodney. When the cavalry team entered the depths of the camp, a huge white camp tent appeared in their eyes. It was obvious that this was the tent of the supreme commander.

"Swish~~~"

The old knight Gerald turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet and clamped it under his armpit, and said to Lolan and others behind him, "I'll go in, you're waiting for me outside."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone nodded.

The old knight turned around and lifted the curtain of the big tent and walked in. He saw candles lit in the tent, and there were bright spots. On both sides were standing, a middle-aged knight wearing the badge of the mid-level Sky Knight stood up, respectfully stepped forward, and saluted with one arm across his chest: "Subor Alvin, see Mr. Gerald!"

"Knight Alvin."

The old drunkard narrowed his eyes and said, "You are the supreme commander of the battlefield, so you don't have to salute me."

"No."

Alvin shook his head and said, "The old man has a higher level of knight than his subordinates, so his subordinates will naturally salute. Mr., please sit down. Let's talk about what happened these days."

"Um!"

Gerald turned around and sat down at the small table next to Alvin. A servant immediately handed him a pot of freshly hot wine. Gerald smelled the fragrance of the wine and was a little uncontrollable. He licked his tongue and said, "I'll take a sip first."

He picked up the wine pot and took a big sip at it, saying, "Alvin, tell me!"

"yes!"

Alvin said with respect: "Half a month ago, a demon beast army led by the three-headed seventh-level monster beast Flame Eidol, attacked us in Elard's camp. We almost lost more than half of our combat effectiveness in that battle. Fortunately, the light knight Elko arrived in time and defeated the three-headed flame eidol, saving us from the disaster of annihilation."

"Elko, that boy..." Gerald narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Indeed, among the younger generation of knights, he has the highest talent. Unfortunately, he has never been willing to be loyal to the Temple of the Goddess, so he has not been given the fire. Otherwise, with his talent and diligence, he might be one of the few young apocalypse in the empire."

Alvin nodded: "However, this Knight of Light cannot stay in the camp forever. He was exhausted and ran alone between the camps of the Knight of Light, the barren highlands and the desperate hills. He resolved the crisis again and again, but he was also exhausted, and his injuries in the battle continued to worsen. Finally, he bid farewell to his subordinates a few days ago and returned to the Knight of Light for treatment."

"Why……"

The old drunkard gritted his teeth: "That child... should be the only Knight of Light who is willing to come to the North and face the high-level monsters, right? The rest of the Knights of Light... I am bluntly saying that they are all self-protection, fearing that they will be defeated by the monsters and ruin their heroic reputation for life. It is precisely because of this that our war in the North has not made any progress. They have consumed countless gold coins and manpower, but they have never been able to completely defeat the Legion of the Monsters."

"Yes."

Alvin frowned: "We should not talk too much about the matter of the Holy See of Light... sir, what I want to talk about this time is the Gate of Sky."

"oh?"

Gerald said: "Is that evil door opened again?"

"That's not."

Alvin shook his head and said, "According to his subordinates' speculation, including the two seventh-level flame hywolfs, the monsters in the snowy area of ​​the northern border are almost all the Star Source Continents that have entered from the gaps of the Sky Gate in recent years. Although the energy of the Sky Gate has fluctuated strongly recently, it has not been officially opened."

"That's good."

Gerald frowned: "As long as the Sky Gate is not officially opened, there will be no monsters above the eighth level. If they really come, I can't imagine what kind of disaster it would be."

Not far away, a ground knight general gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, have you seen the scene of the opening of the Sky Gate?"

"I've seen it once, it was fifteen years ago."

Gerald picked up the wine pot, took a big gulp again, and said, "At that time, I was still a young and vicious first-level Sky Knight. I followed the Apocalypse Andre to the Sky Gate to complete the sealing mission. However, our mission failed completely, and Sitou coughed, saying, "Fortunately, it has been 15 years since the last time the Sky Gate opened, and the people on the Xingyuan Continent have also enjoyed a quiet life of fifteen years. Perhaps, this period will be longer."

“No.”

Gerald looked at Alvin with a deep look and said, "In the past few years, the demon beast army has become more and more active and has appeared more and more frequently, and has even begun to take the initiative to attack the human territory. This is not a good sign."

"What?"

Alvin was stunned and said, "Sir, are you talking about... the Sky Gate is ready to move again?"

"Yes."

Gerald took a deep breath and said, "Behind the Sky Gate, that extremely powerful force is starting to move again, but this is not a matter of concern to us. The people in the Temple of the Goddess, the Holy See of Light and the Sea of ​​Mysterious are the people who are qualified to touch that kind of power. Our mission is to block the legion of monsters and protect the people of the Empire from being harmed by monsters."

As he said that, the old alcoholic took another sip of wine and said, "Tell me, Lord Alvin, this time I was ordered to arrive at the battlefield with a thousand elite knights from the Blood Castle. In addition, there are eight extraordinary students from the elite camp to help with the battle. What tasks are there to hand over to us?"

"The activities of monsters have become more and more frequent recently. Please lead our troops to help us protect the camp."

"oh?"

Gerald raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Alvin, do you think I'm old and useless? So I'll give me this kind of useless task? What I said is, I can help you solve any problems that you can't solve."

“Hahahaha~~~”

Alvin laughed awkwardly and said, "That's it... If this is the case, I do have some tricky things here, if the adults want to..."

"No need to say more."

Gerald stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "You are the commander of the army. As long as Lord Alvin gives the order, Gerald and the Knights led by him are willing to serve!"

"good!"

Alvin also stood up, pointed to the map hanging behind him, and said, "Sir, please see, this is the area where our camp is. After the last attack of monsters, many powerful monsters took advantage of the chaos to enter the rugged valley road on the east side. We also sent cavalry teams to wipe it out, but most of them had no gains, or they had gone but never returned, so... please help us solve the monsters on the east side of monsters."

"Understood."

The old knight picked up the wine pot and said, "I will lead my troops to wipe out the monsters in the valley tomorrow morning. Please arrange our residence?"

"Okay, we have finished preparing your camp. Come and take the elders over."

"Yes, sir!"

...

Outside the camp, Lolan, Lin Ke, Avier and others had been waiting for a long time, trembling in the cold wind. It was not until Gerald appeared that they breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the old drunkard would spend the night in the tent if he didn't wake up.

"Let's go and head to our station!"

Gerald turned over his horse and led everyone to the open space on the right wing of the camp. Not far away, tents had been built, and even the horse shed had been built. Although it looked quite good, it was still not optimistic. There were not many tents, and dozens of people had to be crowded in one tent.

The old knight seemed to realize this, coughed, and said, "Come on, make a tent and let the people from the elite camp live alone in the same tent."

"Yes, sir!"
Chapter completed!
