Chapter 14 14. The cold lizard fear knight
trainers opened the box containing the riveted black steel copper-edged lizard armor and put on the armor in an orderly manner for the cold lizards. First put on the mail on the back waist to protect the buttocks. Then install the head armor, neck armor, chest armor, leg armor, foot armor, claw armor and tail armor. Finally, the silk woven with the family emblem was draped around the waist, and the saddle and reins were put on.
Darkus watched from the side and thought: "It's so troublesome. The old lady wears cotton pants, one set after another, and she even has claw armor."
After finishing the cold lizard's armor, the animal trainers Help the two brothers Darkus and Takaia put on their armor.
"Franais!"
"My lord!"
"Can we fight?"
Franais roared with all his strength: "Yes!"
Darkus looked up to the sky and smiled, his smile was so weird and unpredictable. .
The steps for a cold lizard fear knight to put on armor are more complicated than that of a cold lizard, and they also need to have the so-called Druchi ritual.
First, he put on black steel and gilt copper full leg armor and pointed shoe armor, which were still in Gothic style. A flintlock pistol was placed in a leather pouch on the outside of his right leg. The intelligence of cold lizards is relatively low. Knights usually kick the cold lizards in the abdomen with the toes of their shoes or hit them with the butt of their guns to control the cold lizards. As for the reins? The reins are there to give the knight a place to put his hands.
Darkus was originally wearing a noble silk robe with purple outer part and dark purple inner part, and then put on Darakoi, which is called "the power to fight death". It is actually a long mail shirt with soft leather sewn inside, and the length of the mail Reaching the elbow of the arm, what kind of cortex is it? Darkus didn't dare to ask.
Then put on a slit mail skirt outside the robe, a black steel gilt copper double-sided breastplate, a throat guard and shoulder armor, and a reverse-blade one-piece arm armor on the forearm. The inverted blade is so exaggerated and strong that it can capture the enemy's weapon or be used to strike and stab the enemy in close combat.
The helmet is composed of different parts and follows the typical Druchi shape, with the moon wings exaggeratedly flying backwards.
Finally, a belt is tied around the waist, and the noble curved sword, messer knife and bayonet are also worn. The number of weapons worn by the Cold Lizard Dread Knight symbolizes his noble status. Darkus is qualified to wield two weapons, but the two Takaia brothers are not.
The noble curved sword, also known as the "Soul Reaver", is mainly used for ritual battles and duels between nobles. Ritual battles usually occur during noble banquets to add to the fun and enhance the atmosphere.
During formal duels, the bayonet blade is used together with the noble curved sword. The bayonet blade is used to deliver paralyzing blows to the neck or limbs. The usage is very particular. If the opponent cannot be immobilized and executed with the bayonet blade before the opponent dies, the audience will be dissatisfied. . The thorn blade also has another function, which is to peel skin.
The trainer opened a delicate box with a sense of ceremony, which contained five rune hooks like jewelry. They would be hung outside the armor in different positions, representing the loyalty and battle honor of a cold lizard fear knight. and family. Its complexity is comparable to medieval heraldry. This runic hook is called a "spiritual ring" and can also be worn on the ears. Druchi believes that this thing can drive away the evil spirits living in Nagaros.
Darkus thought: "God, what is the evil spirit of Nagaros? What is the evil spirit? Besides, is there anything more evil than Druch in Nagaros?" He
can turn over without the help of a trainer. Riding a cold lizard, because Druch's armor is so light, you can even do a Cossack dance, as long as you don't step on the robe and slit mail skirt. Taking over the repeating hand crossbow and the eagle-shaped black pine wood-clad steel shield, the shapes of Druchi shields also vary widely. Different emblems are engraved on the shields, representing legions, cities, families, etc. But one thing they have in common is that they are extremely offensive. There is usually a spike at the bottom of the shield, which can be used to stab or nail the enemy's feet.
Then take over the "Soul Eater", which is the lance used by the Cold Lizard Dread Knight. The shape of the spear point varied, but the joint between the spear point and the barrel must have a long silk ribbon or pennant, with runes embroidered on the ribbon, declaring the knight's devotion to Malekith, the knight's great deeds in his service, and A noble history of knightly families and ancestors.
Having said all that, it actually took less than five minutes to get it done.
Darkus sneered at the beast tamer and said: "Go to the north and find a village. What is it called?"
Franais added: "My lord, Avignon."
"Yes, Avignon. Weng, find it!" After finishing speaking, Darkus glanced at the two knights and said viciously: "I am fickle and have changed my mind again. I will take them with me later." It is
said to be a trial, but in fact it is There is no reason for a pirate group to replenish fresh water after landing. Does Darkos, a powerful man, have no face?
Alyssa was riding on her dark Pegasus, looking at the fully equipped Darkus with piercing eyes. The Pegasus was a warlock graduation gift from Anasara, the matriarch of the Hell Calamity family.
The Druchi soldiers lined up beside Darkus, looking at him with envy and longing.
"Praise Kane, tonight will be a good day! Let's go!"
"Druch! Spear and shield!"
The forest was surprisingly quiet, the pale green light of Morslieb shone on the earth, and the owl's call was heard on the treetops. The sounds disappeared, badgers and foxes stopped foraging in the dense bushes, and even the calls of grasshoppers and crickets strangely disappeared. There was a smell of fear in the air, and the forest dwellers sensed it and wisely decided not to come out tonight. The acrid smell of smoke wafted over the woods. If you listen carefully, you can hear cries of fear and despair coming from the distant wind.
Suddenly, the eerie silence was broken when a little boy burst out of the bushes.
The boy was running, he was running faster than ever. His pounding heart felt like it would burst at the next moment, but he didn't care. As if a pair of hands woven with fear were wrapped around his neck, the boy ran through the bushes, ignoring the vines that pulled at him and the branches that would dig into his arms. Although he didn't realize it, tears continued to flow from his eyes, and a warm feeling came from his groin and spread down his trouser legs.
Without warning, the boy stumbled and felt a sharp pain in his ankle. He fell to the ground and the skin on his palms was scratched. He let out a scream of frustration and struggled to stand up regardless of the injury. However, his screams turned to agony as he tried to put weight on his injured ankle. He was cursing hysterically. How was he going to get out of this situation if his ankle was sprained or broken? As he limped forward, he glanced back. He saw no trace of the enemy and breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he has escaped? Maybe he still has a chance to escape? His ankles burned with pain as he stumbled forward.
Who are these mysterious attackers? Why did they come?
