Chapter 314: A sneak attack by subhumans? An unexpected reward [Dark Knight]

Ge Jin may not have noticed.

Tang Zheng noticed that Kuirat was obviously trying to get information from Go Jin about the locations where the various sub-human races were currently gathering.

This behavior immediately made Tang Zheng realize the fundamental purpose of the Holy Kingdom.

"No wonder I had a strange feeling along the way. I had already detected the enemy's position, but I continued to act according to the original plan on the pretext of preventing traps."

Tang Zheng suddenly understood.

For the Holy Kingdom, the appearance of so many undead beings is both a disaster and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We can take advantage of the situation to wipe out all the sub-humans in the hilly area!
but.

What is the reason why Kuirat is so confident?

Tang Zheng seemed to be thinking about something, and glanced at Captain Negan, who had a cold face and no emotional changes could be detected.

"team leader!"

Suddenly, a hurried voice came from the [Sunshine Scripture] troops.

"We have detected life reactions, about 20 people in total, and they are approaching us quickly!" the members of the Holy Scripture immediately reported.

"Life reaction?"

"Isn't it the undead?" Captain Negan fixed his eyes and looked at the place his men pointed.

Tang Zheng also looked over there. Since it was a life reaction, then the people in this hilly area were most likely sub-humans.

Ge Jin also stood up with a look of joy on his face.

After a while.

Twenty green figures appeared in everyone's field of vision, rushing towards the location of Tang Zheng and others at a very fast speed.

Everyone in the Paladin Order immediately stood up and took defensive actions.

This is a species of insects with sharp arm blades on their arms and their entire bodies covered in a layer of green exoskeleton-like armor.

"The Swordworm Clan!" Go Jin said after seeing these sub-humans clearly.

The number of 20 sword Kaichongs was not large, and since the humans were already interested in cooperating with the demi-humans, the members of the Paladins let down their guard a little.

As this group of armored beetles gradually approached humans, they gradually slowed down, meaningfully showing some goodwill.

This made the paladins feel more at ease.

"It looks like the demihumans' advance guard."

When Kuirat saw this scene, he spoke softly with a smile on his face.

however!
As soon as he said this, the smile on Kuirat's face froze.

The Sword-Armored Beetle, which had been slowing down and approaching, suddenly sped up its pace when it was about thirty or forty meters away from humans!

Just a few breaths!

The sword-armored worm had already rushed to the outermost paladin, and the blade extending from its arm turned into a cold light and slashed down.

"what--"

"what--"

The several paladins on the outermost edge had no time to react and were directly killed by the sword and armor, causing them to scream in agony.

In an instant!
The paladins' faces changed drastically, they roared, drew their swords and rushed forward.

Remedios, who had been suppressing his anger and unhappiness in his heart, disappeared instantly and rushed into the armored insects.

"Holy Strike!"

Remedios' eyes were cold with anger, and he poured out incredible force along the blade that was emitting divine light. With one blow, he split the sword-armored insect, which had the protection of plate armor, in half:
"Damn those demi-humans! Kill them!"

The number of 20 sword beetles is not large. Although the strength of each individual is stronger than that of ordinary paladins, they are outnumbered and under the powerful attack of Remedios.

It only takes a moment.

All of these sword-armored insects were killed.

The smell of blood filled the air, and seven corpses of paladins lay on the ground, making the paladins shudder with fear.

Every paladin who was able to take part in this mission was determined to die, but they never thought that their teammates did not die first at the hands of the undead, but died in a sneak attack by the demi-humans!
"Go Jin!!"

Remedios turned his head angrily, his eyes extremely cold, staring at Go Jin.

boom!
The ground beneath my feet shook.
Remedios rushed out like a silver lightning, the holy sword in his hand emitting a blazing white light, cutting through the air with a "sizzling" sound:
"Air slash!"

"Just hit!"

Ge Jin's eyes also showed a chill, and he swung his mace weapon without hesitation.

bang——

The two of them collided with each other in an instant, and a strong wave of air surged.

The two closest to him, Captain Kuirat and Captain Nigan, took the lead in retreating. Tang Zheng saw this and followed suit.
"Wait, sister!"

Kuirat stretched out his arms to shield his face from the blast, and quickly spoke to stop them.

She also hated the demi-humans and knew that what had just happened was obviously abnormal. Even if the demi-humans had other intentions, they would not attack the humans who came to help them under the current circumstances.

If we want to take action, at least we should do so after the threat of the undead has been resolved!

A brief collision.

Remedios and Go King took a step back at the same time.

"Kuilat, you just saw this group of despicable subhumans. They have no intention of cooperating at all!"

Remedios heard his sister's words to stop him, but he still looked at Go King angrily.

"Mr. Ge Jin, can you tell me what happened just now?"

Kuirat signaled Remedios not to do anything yet, and asked in a serious tone: "I need an explanation!"

Ge Jin was also a little confused and dazed at this moment. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He also didn't know why the Saber Bug Clan would attack humans.

"That group of sword armor insects must be controlled by someone."

"Didn't you notice that the movements of those knife-chopping insects were a little stiff?"

Looking at the tense atmosphere in front of him, Tang Zheng took a step forward and spoke softly.

Remedios immediately looked over and said, “You, you’re standing in front of the demihuman…”

"elder sister!"

Kuirat's tone was clearly serious this time.

“But——” Remedios.

"I also think that the situation just now was a little unusual." Kuirat said seriously, looking at Tang Zheng apologetically:
"Being controlled by someone?"

"Captain Tang means that our enemy should not only be the magic chanter who controls the legendary undead."

Tang Zhengyi glanced at Kuilat in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would figure out his thoughts so quickly.

Sure enough, compared to Remedios, who has only one string in his head, Quilat is indeed much smarter and more troublesome.

"Yes."

"We were attacked by a large number of undead last night, but we never saw the Death Knight. This means that there is someone else who manipulated the undead to attack us."

"If I were that powerful magic caster, why would I be so cautious?"

Tang Zheng's face turned serious and he reminded:
"We have more than one enemy. After a night of running around, even though it's daytime now, it's the best opportunity for them to attack us."

Remedios was startled and looked at Kuirat.

Bang!
Fireball

A red fireball suddenly attacked from a distance. The members of the priest group, who had been alert for a long time, immediately released magic.

"Shock wave!" the priest shouted.

Boom——

The explosion of flames was so intense that everyone immediately stopped arguing and looked in the direction where the fireball came from.

I saw two figures appear out of nowhere in an empty space a hundred meters away.

An old man in a gray magic robe and a warrior in black armor.

"Hey, everyone from the Holy Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy."

"The greeting just now seemed very welcome."

The gray-robed wizard's sinister laughter reached everyone's ears.

"That's 'teleport'?!"

Captain Nigan first looked at his men. These two people were obviously not in the previous investigation. Then he realized something: "The person who stepped into the "hero realm" is a magic chanter of the fifth-level magic system!"

Everyone became serious one after another.

Tang Zheng and others quickly walked forward and faced the two mysterious people face to face.

"Who are you!"

Kuirat spoke with a cold look in his eyes.

"Oops, I forgot to introduce myself."

"We are disciples of Zhilanon, and we plan to transform the Abelion Hills into a true kingdom of the undead."

The grey robed wizard elite looked at him with hostility, but he didn't care at all and spoke arrogantly:
"So, could you please go back?"

"We don't want to offend two kingdoms at once. This will be very troublesome."

As soon as the name [Zhilanong] came out.

Some people had confused looks on their faces, while others looked shocked.

"The evil secret society that destroyed a city 20 years ago and is rumored to have such a huge impact!"

Kuirat whispered to himself: "So the mysterious magic chanter who controls the legendary undead is the leader of Zhilanon."

"No wonder." Captain Negan's eyes flashed, and his eyes became cold, but he also understood something.

One of the tasks this time is to investigate the identity of the mysterious magic chanter. After all, an evil wizard who can control and create legendary undead suddenly appears.

No matter how much attention and vigilance we take, it can never be too much!
If it is [Zhilanong], then everything can be explained.

Tang Zheng felt like laughing at this moment.

Well, it seems that Zhilanong has already taken the blame for the hilly area.

He didn't expect the other party to introduce himself right away. He didn't know whether to say that the other party was confident or arrogant.

“Pavel!”

Remedios didn't have so many thoughts. Since the enemies had been identified, he would kill them.

"Yes!"

Black Pavel had already pulled the bowstring to its full length, and an arrow emitting a reddish glow was instantly shot out.

The arrow turned into a long rainbow!
The distance of a hundred meters was covered in an instant, shooting straight towards the gray-robed wizard's head.

"Secret attack!"

The indifferent knight in black armor standing aside suddenly took a step forward, swung his arm, and swung out the black sword.

He easily cut off the extremely fast arrow.

Boom!

The arrow exploded the moment it made contact, and the blazing flames engulfed the black-armored knight.

Everyone on the Holy Kingdom side showed excitement on their faces, but they were stunned the next moment.

See!

The black-armored knight walked out of the flames unscathed, his entire body glowing with a faint black color, like some kind of protective magic.

"I hate it when people play tricks on me."

"I will kill your leader first and then you."

The black-armored knight raised the black longsword in his hand and pointed the tip of the sword at “Black” Pavel. The scars on his face squirmed like maggots as he spoke coldly.

"It seems like everyone refuses to leave!"

The gray-robed wizard followed closely behind, raising the vine-like magic wand in his hand and knocking it hard on the ground:
"Come out, everyone!"

Rumbling--

The ground shook!

Skeletons and rotten arms emerged from the ground, and a large number of low-level undead began to appear.

"Protect the body and prepare for battle!"

"Remedios, I want to capture one of them alive." Kuirat said quickly.

“Okay!” Remedios responded, his eyes gleaming with fire.

And this moment.

Tang Zheng looked at the attribute panel that only he could see, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"The skill "Dark Strike" has been discovered. It requires a mid-level job "Dark Knight" and a prerequisite job "Paladin". The current conditions are not met..."

"The "Genius" profession has been activated. The transformation has been successful. The learning conditions are met. Do you want to consume 3 skill point to learn it? "

"A prerequisite for a Paladin?"

Tang Zheng was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, the prerequisite class for [Holy Knight] was Paladin, so how come this intermediate class in front of him was also a prerequisite for Paladin?

There was a brief hesitation.

Tang Zheng had a thought in his mind. It was just a mid-level profession. It would only be a waste of three skill points.

hum-

"Job Hunting Success!"

…………

See information for this career.

Tang Zheng finally understood why the prerequisite for this mid-level profession, which had nothing to do with Paladin just from its name, was "Paladin".

"Fallen Paladin, what a clichéd profession."

Tang Zheng observed the difference between the [Dark Knight] and [Holy Knight] job information and found that there was no connection between the two in terms of job content.

Suppress the thoughts in your mind temporarily.

Tang Zheng looked ahead again, at the people who were already fighting with the undead.
