Chapter 29: The Devil Pushing
the Mill Minutes later.
The battle at Dogger Pier has ended, and the scene is bloody.
Earl Dogger's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, with four dead and seven injured. Their blood stained the ground of the dock red.
And the culprit of all this - a burly man, after suffering countless traumas to his body, managed to break through the siege and successfully escaped with the noble mother and daughter.
In the field, the surviving soldiers, under the command of the soldier captain, were treating the wounded and carrying corpses, and the atmosphere was solemn.
The passengers and sailors on the deck of the "Gray Bell" witnessed the whole process and kept talking in low voices.
"That man just now was so powerful. He killed so many people and still managed to run away."
"Yeah, he was a monster."
"What kind of monster? That's a blood knight."
"Blood knights? Aren't they all dead? Does it still exist?"
"There are so many monsters out there. Bloodline Knights are just rare. How come they are all dead?" "Bloodline Knights
? You say they are, but how can you prove it?" "Why
should I prove it to you? Believe it or not, I am still with you. You said, that person should be considered not weak among the blood knights..." "
..."
Li He raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing the discussion.
"Blood Knight?" He said to himself, and his brain quickly produced a memory, which was a record from the "Blood Skin Record Copy" in the Blackstone Castle collection.
According to the records in the book, blood knights are special human individuals that have existed since ancient times.
Some are born, and some are acquired through a series of physical challenges and breakthroughs.
Bloodline Knights have much greater strength, physical strength, and agility than normal humans. Even the weakest Bloodline Knights have twice the attributes of normal humans.
This means that blood knights have a crushing advantage when fighting normal humans. It is almost impossible to fail one-on-one, and they can calmly deal with one-on-one. They are terrifying killing machines on the battlefield.
If a certain force can cultivate a sufficient number of blood knights and join the war, it can easily influence the direction of a battle.
However, blood knights are relatively rare. There are slightly more of them in some kingdoms in the north and east. In the Kingdom of Fornalanza, which is located in the west and near the ocean, they are almost only heard in rumors and can rarely be seen on the battlefield.
But no matter what, blood knights can definitely be called beings with powerful physical strength.
"It turned out to be a Bloodline Knight... If the 'Mixed Breed Improvement' test record is correct, there is a high probability that the blood of the Bloodline Knight can be used as neutralizing blood... then..." The ship "Gray Bell" is preparing to leave the shore and set sail
. , Li He said to the devil Alex next to him: "Alan, let's get off the boat." "
Ah, why, master?" Alex was surprised.
"Go find those people who just broke through and escaped." Li He looked towards the shore in one direction and replied.
"But...but didn't you say that the mother and daughter were a problem? You also said that under the current circumstances, there is no special reason and no benefit. You don't want to cause trouble because it may delay our trip to Lunza. "Aronx said puzzledly.
"Your memory is good, and it seems to be recovering recently." Li He praised first, and then said seriously, "I did say so, there is no benefit, and I don't want to cause trouble. But now, the benefits have appeared, and they are not small, enough to make people happy. Let's provoke it a little bit."
"Huh?" Alex still didn't quite understand.
Li He explained in detail: "There is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it. If the interests are big enough, the devil can push the stone in the mill. If the interests are huge enough, the stone in the mill can even push the devil. And among the three people who escaped, the blood of that man is such a benefit to me. Okay, let's go." After speaking,
Li He stopped talking and walked straight off the boat.
The devil froze on the spot, followed obediently, and couldn't help but whisper: "So you want that person's blood? I understand this, it must be for some research. But... this has nothing to do with me pushing the stone mill of the mill. What does it matter? I'm not a stupid donkey, and I don't seem to have made any mistakes..."
...
In a blink of an eye, it's afternoon.
On one side of the Lemon River, deep in the land, in a dense forest, a group of people were fleeing for their lives.
The leader was Barton, a burly man with blood on his clothes and wounds all over his body, but he didn't even frown. He was holding a broken sword and running forward silently.
Behind him, there were three tired-looking men, each holding a weapon, escorting the noble young woman Lady Isa and the noble girl Frey, following closely behind.
Further behind them and further away, Earl Dogger's soldiers were chasing them, so that Barton and his party did not dare to stop for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, a group of people ran out of breath to an open space. After making sure that the soldiers chasing behind them had escaped, they stopped and took a big breath.
But before he could breathe evenly, subtle footsteps sounded from the front.
The group of people were shocked. Barton, a burly man, was holding a broken sword. He looked at the direction of the sound with a vigilant face and sharp eyes. The next moment, he saw a person walking out slowly.
The other party was wearing a thick black robe and robe and hat, his face completely hidden, and he stood quietly in the field, his identity completely invisible.
"Who are you?" Barton frowned deeply and asked warily.
"As a researcher, if possible, I would like to draw some of your blood." Under the black robe, Li He made a cold voice, "I won't make any unnecessary interruptions. I will leave after the drawing is done." "Of course,
I I won't let you pay in vain. I am more about equal exchange. If you are willing to let me draw blood, I can help you briefly treat your physical injuries. How about it, it's fair, right?" Li He added.
"What if I don't want to?" Barton asked in a buzzing voice, obviously not believing Li He.
"If you don't want to...I will still draw your blood, but the process may not be too pleasant, and you will most likely die. Considering your current situation of protecting people, I do not recommend you to make this choice. Li He said, his voice a little cold.
After hearing this, Barton snorted and disapproved, stared at Li He and said: "You want my blood? Okay, come and get it yourself, I won't hand it over myself. Researcher? I haven't heard of it. I think, you There is a high probability that he is the lackey of Earl Dogger!"
"Don't want to? Well, then I'll put in some effort myself. But let's be clear, I have nothing to do with the Earl Dogger you mentioned, and Earl Dogger's lackey should still be there. Behind..."
Suddenly there were chaotic sounds all around, and more than a hundred elite soldiers wearing leather armor appeared, holding weapons, and surrounded them. Further out, there are more than 20 archers standing ready, holding longbows and ready to shoot at any time.
It was the pursuit team that arrived.
"Well... the real lackeys of Earl Dogger you are talking about have arrived. It seems that they are quite fast." Li He said softly, "But... I really have nothing to do with them."
As if echoing Li He's words, behind the surrounding soldiers, a male noble wearing full silver armor slowly walked out of the woods on a horse.
Meng Si, a male aristocrat, glanced at the audience, and his eyes fell on Li He in surprise. This was a character who was not on his intelligence list at all.
"Who are you?"
"A researcher who arrived first." Li He said calmly.
"Huh?"
