Chapter 284 Hell
Chapter 284 Hell
In the north of the Stuart Kingdom, a chaotic corridor bordering the Empire.
This is the fiefdom of the Duke of York. To the east is the endless Storm Sea, and to the west is the inland Black Sea surrounded by land on all sides. In the middle of the east coast, the prosperous port is the shining pearl of this place and the second largest port in the entire kingdom.
For a long time, the Stuart Northland Squadron was stationed in the port, with the Duke of York himself as the commander. But two days ago, the squadron, contrary to its usual practice, left the port and disappeared into the vast ocean.
A prosperous port, a disaster prison.
The most vicious criminals in the North are imprisoned here, with a number of up to a thousand. Most of them have committed dozens of murders. Ordinary murderers can only serve as the lowest-ranking laborers in the disaster prison.
The guard at the disaster prison was unusually lax today.
A blond young man with handsome features entered from the main gate. He had a very tall figure, with a knight's sword on his waist. The light armor on his body seemed thin, but was actually very thick. There were complex patterns on eight parts including the helmet, breastplate, and arm guards. He looked like a noble, but the whip marks from his left eye to his chin destroyed the original harmony.
Seeing the blond young man passing by, the prison guards on duty bowed their heads in respect.
Roland Deyok, the most talented young man in the entire Stuart Kingdom, was successfully promoted to Grand Knight (Silver) at the age of only 26, and successfully mastered the form and usage of Silver Will.
He graduated from the Royal Capital Knight Academy at the age of thirteen and went to the colonies for training. He experienced the entire ten-year war, defeated countless so-called geniuses, and joined the kingdom's most elite Knight Guards.
However, for unknown reasons, Roland resigned from all his positions three years ago and went into exile in the North. He was then recruited by Duke De York and given a surname. Since then, he has been serving as the deputy governor of the Corridor of Chaos.
But there is no doubt that Roland represents the top level of the young generation in the entire Old Continent.
Deng Deng Deng!
In the deepest part of the prison, the long-lost sound of footsteps was heard.
It was almost pitch black here, with only a faint light from a candle that was about to burn out.
In hundreds of cells, pairs of eyes, some bloodthirsty, some cold, some crazy, all cast their gazes. Even the muddier air could not conceal the bloody smell of the beasts.
"Johnny, a knight, slaughtered the Lord's family for no reason, causing the deaths of 78 people, including the Lord's youngest son, a poor creature who had just learned to walk."
In the cell, dishevelled Johnny licked his lips and savored the taste: "Don't mention it, this kind of lamb is the most delicious thing in the world."
Roland remained calm and continued, "Philip, a trainee knight, roaming around seven cities, a self-proclaimed thief with a very thin presence, assaulted and killed more than twenty noble women, and showed no remorse."
Philip, lying on his back, sneered disdainfully: "If I can't touch women, then what's the point of living?"
"Pondy..."
"Loz..."
Roland read out the names one by one. Every one of them deserved the torture of being cut into pieces. The strongest prison in the kingdom only bound them. There was no way for them to repent, and the trial was still far away.
"…Rhine Augustus, the fallen lieutenant."
Roland looked into the deepest darkness. A handsome young man was tied to a black oak cross refined by the great wizard.
"You are a scum that no loving mother can forgive."
"A total of 187220 people have been killed, including but not limited to massacres, arson, explosions, massacres, and infectious diseases... I don't know how the two great wizards calculated this number, but be thankful that no one knows about your evil deeds on the Undead Continent, and they will all return to dust in the future."
There was total silence in the dungeon.
All the vicious criminals stared blankly into the deepest darkness. Many of them repeatedly picked their ears with extremely suspicious expressions. As for those criminals who knew the gold content of the great wizard, they were already horrified. The great wizard's silver will form basically tends to knowledge, spirit and wisdom. Since an exact number was given, the possibility of error is very small.
When the crime of the last person was declared over, the criminals obviously became much more obedient, and a few of them were even crying bitterly. They have always been proud of their numerous crimes, but there is always someone better than you. The serial killer was as innocent as a child in front of the fallen lieutenant.
Roland said expressionlessly, "In the next week, you will be granted limited rights of action. Duke De York personally appointed me as the temporary warden. There are three pirate ships for you to use. Your mission is to recruit pirates to attack Viscount Heru's territory in turns until it is destroyed. During this period, I will keep an eye on you and return you to freedom after the mission is accomplished."
"Being a black glove again? Haha, that's why I came in."
"Whoever believes this is a moron, but even if it's fake, I'm going to do it. Don't compete with me for the Viscountess."
"Look, our great Duke of York is angry. Your Majesty is so wise and brave to take his two colonies as your betrothal gift."
"Poor Viscount Heru is so loyal to the royal family, but the great knight Roland has become a running dog. I can't tell who is the traitor! Hahaha."
The depths of the hell were suddenly filled with noise and gloating.
Duke D'York is one of the three golden pillars of the kingdom and has guarded the Corridor of Conflict for decades. However, ever since the death of the old king, the succeeding Mad King has regarded him as a thorn in his side. If another golden pillar, the Captain of the Knights Guard, had not been alive, war would have broken out between the two sides long ago.
Click!
There was a sudden sound of rock and iron breaking.
The alchemical magic steel that was strong enough to restrain an ordinary great knight was corroded by the energy, and the surging force broke it apart.
The chaotic laughter stopped abruptly.
Jiang He opened his eyes and said calmly: "All three pirate ships belong to me."
The voice, as cold as ice, seemed to stir up a strong wind deep in the prison, chilling the bones.
Roland shook his head. "The boat is owned by both of you."
boom!
Jiang He nodded and took a steady step forward. He instantly disappeared from the spot. His tall figure violently smashed the prison bars. The prison, which was known for its solidity and strictness, seemed to become extremely fragile in an instant.
"Half a minute, wait until I kill them all, then we can talk."
Roland's pupils were like an earthquake, it was too fast.
Jiang He roughly reached out and grabbed Knight Johnny's head. Red energy was steaming all over the latter, but before it completely covered his body, he had already closed his five fingers.
boom!
Johnny's head exploded like a watermelon, and his headless body fell to the ground, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
"Is Knight level equivalent to Peak Bronze?"
Jiang He pondered secretly, and without looking back, he punched back. His domineering blood body gave him extraordinary physique, speed and strength.
Bang!
The criminal who attempted a sneak attack was hammered through the chest and embedded in the wall, where he died.
"Go together!"
"He's just a knight!"
"Come on!"
Dozens of prisoners in the cell rushed forward together, each of them was bloodthirsty and fearless of death.
Boom boom boom!
Jiang He's hands were like knives. Every time he swung or stabbed, a large amount of flesh and blood exploded in front of him. He launched calm steps again and again, repeatedly breaking through the rough encirclement around him. The deepest part of the Disaster Prison was in chaos, and the fence made of magic steel was like paper.
"enough!"
Roland drew his sword and stepped forward, using his Knight's Breathing Technique to the fullest. He slashed vertically, and the several-meter-long white sword slashed like a crescent moon. The White Rose Breathing Technique of the Deyok family greatly enhanced the sharpness. Swish!
The energy of transformation covered his whole body. Jiang He grasped the white sword with one hand. Blood spurted from his palm. A tiny crack appeared and suddenly disappeared under the extremely effective self-healing effect. As the energy of transformation trembled, the sword was crushed by him.
"An ordinary creature from the Silver Age."
Chi Chi!
Dozens of iron-blooded thorns flew out, carrying with them perfect-level withering. In just a moment, a bloody storm was set off in the prison.
In the corner, Philip's hands were shaking violently. He rushed forward with the dagger tightly grasped, using his natural thin sense of presence to launch an attack from the enemy's blind spot.
"Die, monster!"
Jiang He turned around and kicked straight ahead. The Boots of Death combined with his physique and energy released a violent force. A huge sonic boom resounded throughout the prison, and Philip was left with no trace.
"The Great Knight stage is equal to Silver."
"Knight is equal to peak bronze."
"An apprentice knight is equal to a bronze elite."
Jiang He came to the conclusion that the reason he took action, in addition to preparing to take the three pirate ships for himself, was mainly to confirm his position in the food chain. Most predators would basically do this when entering a new and unfamiliar environment.
"Rhine Augustus!"
Roland suppressed his anger. From the time the other party suddenly attacked to the time he killed all the prisoners, less than ten seconds passed. Even for him, it would be difficult to kill hundreds of prisoners who had mastered extraordinary powers so quickly.
It's sizzling!
Invisible waves surged in Roland's body. The Knight's Breathing Method was a technique that resonated the body and soul. When the rhythm of the breathing method was in sync with the Silver Will, the Knight's true form would materialize.
A gorgeous white rose enveloped Roland.
"Oh, the times are advancing." Lilith watched with interest and reminded, "It looks like the prototype of a mythical form. Strictly speaking, it is just an external imitation. It should be the masterpiece of generations of golden masters in my hometown exploring higher levels. The fact that it can be applied to lower-level extraordinary people shows that the technology is quite mature."
Roland swung his sword, and the true form of the white rose scattered countless petals. The extremely sharp sword energy filled the surroundings, and dense cracks appeared on the wall. The deepest part of the Disaster Prison was almost shattered by him.
A sword was swung out.
The B-level secret treasure of the sea - the Knight's Sword, Ocean Anthem, made the sword energy continuous, roaring and sweeping like a tide. With rich military combat experience, Roland blocked all the opponent's evasion space with his sword.
boom!
The depths of the hell collapsed completely, rubble fell from above, and smoke and dust filled the air.
In the ruins, Jiang He shook off the stones around his body, and the surface of the Overlord's Armor was cracked like a net, but it had not yet reached the point of complete collapse. When he re-injected energy, the new armor covered the damaged parts.
"It's slightly stronger than the three dark creatures, but only to a limited extent."
Roland looked at the scene in disbelief. He could not accept the result after trying his best to break through the defense with his sword.
"Come again!"
The second sword was raised high and fell.
Unfortunately, a bloody short spear was one step faster.
"Whoever has time to follow me here, come back."
Jiang He instantly switched positions to in front of his opponent, broke his wrist with his first jab, and took the sword with his bare hands.
The second left straight punch hit the chest, and the power swept through the target's body, defeating the true form of the White Rose.
The third uppercut hit Roland's jaw, sending him flying. Finally, he raised his leg and kicked straight upward. The blond figure broke through the prison ceiling like a cannonball and almost flew to the ground. The dense sound of bones breaking was extremely creepy.
"Surprisingly he is not dead. He is still very young and has made great achievements."
Jiang He walked along the almost collapsed stairs to the first floor of the prison. He was surrounded by dozens of prison guards, all with terrified expressions.
Roland struggled to stand up with his arms, but just as he was about to succeed, he was stepped on again. The strange power attacked him again, spreading through his internal organs and making him cry out in pain.
Jiang He lowered his eyes thoughtfully. This guy was not very old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. It was still a long time before he died. The energy level of the new world had risen significantly. The silver that was rarely seen in normal times was lying right in front of him as soon as it arrived.
"Does what we said before still count?"
Roland gnashed his teeth. The reason why he acted in anger was that he didn't want to mess up what the Duke had told him to do. The attack on Viscount Heru's territory was already imminent, so of course it counted.
"Let me up first!"
Jiang He walked to the side and contacted the team members.
"Boss, I'm patrolling the airspace above the prosperous port."
"Xiao He, there are alien species on the street. I have transformed into a werewolf and they are also in the prosperous port."
"Orochi, I'm selling matches, in Bustling Harbor."
"Let's meet at the port shore."
The members are all in the same position, which is good news.
Roland took a break, then suddenly stood up with great effort. The severe pain from his bones being shattered made his eyes twitch.
"It's all gone!"
The jailers were eager to leave this place of trouble.
Roland touched his waist and suddenly had a bad feeling. He asked tentatively, "Where's my sword?"
Jiang He was too lazy to answer, his eyes just stared calmly.
A long silence passed, and Roland closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and regained his composure.
"Mr. Rhine, you will need to attack the Viscountry of Heru as a pirate. The despicable Mad King is willing to sacrifice the interests of the Duke to satisfy his own selfish desires. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, this is the motto of the Deyok family. I will supervise you from the side. When the Viscountry is destroyed, you will regain your freedom."
"Have I lost my freedom now?" Jiang He asked doubtfully, "Or do you still think you can keep me here even after this? Let's talk about something more practical. The secret method of gaining strength from breathing, or the treasure that directly increases speed and spirit, who do you expect to work hard without giving some benefits?"
Roland took a deep breath, and even his dazzling golden hair trembled slightly.
"I need to report to the Duke. I hope you won't go too far. The Duke is one of only three titled knights in the kingdom. He is not someone that a great knight can guess at."
"Please go ahead." Jiang He said. He is definitely not a match for gold at the moment, but Mobius Blood Shadow and Animal Companion Teleportation are enough to ensure retreat. Even though the gold domain may have a strong isolation, the enhanced simple domain will not be unable to withstand even a moment in front of the complete domain.
