Chapter 264
The North Sea Woodland, located in the border village in the northwest, is called Dallolt.
Unexpectedly, the vegetation around this village is not as dense as people imagine.
Normally, a small village connected to mountains and forests should be covered with lush green.
However, the land here actually has some yellow sand, and it can be inferred from this land that the residents here do not live well.
At this moment, the whole village is unusually quiet, as if time has frozen.
The sunlight above the head falls on this border village, revealing a weird atmosphere.
This village looks so out of place, as if it hides some secrets.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds broke the original silence of the forest land east of the village.
I saw a group of six knights riding strong and tall horses galloping like lightning.
Their figures were like a whirlwind, rolling up dust.
Behind these knights, the shadow cast by a withered tree in the sunlight trembled slightly.
If it weren't for someone with extremely keen observation, it would be difficult to detect this subtle change.
"Who is it? Get out!"
The leading knight shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, echoing in the air.
He held the long sword tightly in his hand, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning the surroundings.
The other five knights followed closely behind, watching the movements around vigilantly.
The burly man who led the six knights, although his back was facing behind him, the throbbing in his heart made him subconsciously hold the reins tightly, forcing the horse to stop.
He suddenly turned his head, and his sharp eyes like a hawk quickly scanned the space behind him.
"What happened? Lord Viscount!"
"Lord Viscount! Did you notice something strange?"
"Be alert!"
"Everyone be on alert!"
"Protect Lord Viscount!"
With Jin Cheng's shout, the other knights instantly entered a state of combat readiness.
Longbows and sabers appeared in their hands in the blink of an eye, and five swordsmen in plain clothes also took a defensive posture in a vigilant state.
Jin Cheng held a portable Zhenbing long sword in his hand, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he did not miss any corner where the enemy might hide.
But after a careful search, Jin Cheng found nothing unusual.
'Am I really overthinking?' Jin Cheng thought to himself.
"It's all because Fiona has brought me such a huge pressure. I have hardly had a good rest recently, and even my spirit has become a little dazed..."
Feeling that the knights around him were looking at him, Jin Cheng rubbed his temple helplessly.
Compared to feelings, intuition, and perception, Jincheng believed more in his eyes that could see through illusions.
No matter what it was, Jincheng believed that his eyes could find clues.
"Uh~ Lord Viscount..."
Jincheng's words made several knights a little annoyed.
Especially his words blaming Fiona, which made these collateral descendants of the Laurent family not know how to respond, and they could only smile awkwardly.
However, for their Lord Viscount, who dared to get entangled with other women just after marrying the daughter of Count Laurent,
they all admired this Lord Viscount very much.
You know, even elite swordsmen from the Laurent family who have received orthodox training like them,
when facing the ferocious and cruel Fiona, they would definitely not last more than three rounds.
"Okay! Let's hurry up and head to Darolt Village!
We have been traveling for most of the day, but we still haven't reached our destination!
I really don't know what the situation is over there now!"
Realizing that he seemed to have created a misunderstanding, Jin Cheng hurriedly coughed twice and issued a new order without hesitation.
The other knights did not dwell too much on such trivial matters. After answering in unison, they lifted their alert and drove their horses towards the target again.
In the blink of an eye, the horses galloped, the dust flew, and the figures of the group gradually went away, and finally disappeared completely at the end of the horizon.
However, just a few minutes later, on the ground that was originally as calm as before.
In the shadow cast by a huge rock, the dark figure suddenly trembled slightly.
Then, the shadow gradually condensed into a real organism:
This was a strange creature with a purple body, a graceful figure and exquisite curves, but it seemed to have no actual form.
This strange creature always had its eyes firmly fixed on the knight team.The end of the road that was gradually getting farther away.
Its eyes flickered with a faint light in the dark, which was fleeting and then turned into a look of obsession.
It silently recalled the appearance of that man and the amazingly sharp intuition just now. Even the two whip ropes at the tail of the demon couldn't help but tremble slightly because of excitement and excitement.
Although the two sides were far apart.
But the demon could still clearly feel the leisurely, superior, powerful and happy atmosphere exuded by the man...
After clarifying the direction and ultimate goal of the group of knights, something unexpected happened-
The body of the demon gradually merged into the air in an unimaginable way until it completely disappeared.
It seemed that it was originally part of this space, and even the most dazzling sunlight could not reflect its shadow.
And the strange demon shadow quietly followed the knights like a ghost.
It nimbly shuttled through the void, cleverly avoiding the knights' sight, neither losing its prey nor alerting the prey.
...
"We are too late!"
In an instant, the fierce knights rushed into the village of Darolt like a V-shaped sharp lance.
After entering the village, the scene in front of them shocked everyone.
The village that should have been full of vitality has now become desolate, and the houses around it are in ruins, as if they have suffered a huge disaster.
The fields outside the house are barren and dead silent.
What is even more distressing is that Jincheng witnessed at least three figures lying on the ground the moment he rushed into the village.
The clothes they wore were just ordinary styles.
Jin Cheng felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and muttered to himself:
"We seem to have come too late..."
Jin Cheng watched his territory, which originally belonged to him, become a mess, and his heart was filled with anger.
Even if he didn't know these people, he couldn't accept the loss of precious lives of those innocent people, and all this made him feel extremely depressed.
These were all his wealth.
The anger burned in his heart, causing Jin Cheng's brows to tremble constantly.
The knights jumped off their horses one after another, ready to take action.
Jin Cheng was even more anxious, and strode towards a corpse lying on the ground.
When he squatted down and turned over the corpse to take a closer look, the scene in front of him shocked him.
It was a male corpse. Although it was lifeless, the dead man's eyes were still wide open, and his mouth was wide open to an extremely exaggerated degree.
It seemed that at the moment of death, he encountered something extremely terrifying, so that he didn't even have time to swallow the last breath.
Such a death is chilling. One can imagine what kind of horrible scene this person witnessed before his death.
Not only that, the bodies of other men, women, old and young also showed the same weird posture.
"Separately search for all those who may still be alive!"
Jincheng raised his hand with a grim expression and signaled everyone to disperse and search.
His eyes revealed firmness and determination, and he was determined to find out what happened.
"No matter who you are! In my territory, even if you are a dragon, you have to coil for me;
Even if you are a tiger, you can only stay in your nest! How dare you do such a crazy thing..."
Jincheng clenched his teeth, his voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
Jincheng is not as easy to talk to as he is to his own people when facing outsiders.
He is now more confident in his own strength.
