Chapter 26 026 Black Knights 1

“Did you hear? The Black Knights are nearby. They will send someone to pick us up soon!” “Black Knights? Really?”

“Of course it’s true! Last night, I saw a Black Knights’ sentry enter our camp. Miss Vera even received him personally.”

“So, we are safe?”

“Nonsense! With the Black Knights around, do the trolls still have the guts to come?”

Similar conversations were going on in every corner of the camp.

The tension in the air was completely swept away. What replaced it was the excitement of having survived a disaster.

It was as if the words “Black Knights” had some special magic. As long as they were nearby, it meant that they were absolutely safe.

The reason was very simple.

The Black Knights army was the most powerful army in the northern region of the empire!

Yes, the most powerful.

This army actually did not have many people, only 50,000.

However, it was an army made up of top-tier knights!

This army made up of 50,000 Knights was undoubtedly the guardian of the Northern Region. It was also a nightmare that the trolls could not get rid of.

“Dong Dong Dong…”

As noon approached, the Earth suddenly began to tremble.

A black torrent appeared on the horizon and quickly rushed toward the river camp.

However, the people in the camp did not panic at all because they had already seen the black lion flag that was fluttering in the wind!

The badge of the Lord of the Northern Territory, the Saint Hilde family, was a golden lion. Therefore, no other family in the Northern Territory dared to use a lion as a badge.

Naturally, the person who came was from the Saint Hilde family. However, the ordinary members of the Saint Hilde family did not dare to change the color of the golden lion to black.

There was only one exception. He was the younger brother of the current Duke of the Northern Territory and the highest commander of the Black Knights army, Marquis Garcia of Saint Hilde.[1]

Unlike Marquis Charles, the eldest son of the Duke, Marquis Garcia was a real lord.

He was also the only marquis in the Northern Territory.

His territory occupied almost a quarter of the entire Northern Territory. It was because of this vast land that Marquis Garcia was able to provide for the Black Knights, a tiger and wolf army composed of pure cavalry.

As the army approached, Vera personally came out to welcome them.

Behind her, there were excited, shocked, and even fanatical soldiers.

In the Northern Territory, almost all ambitious young people regarded joining the Black Knights as the highest honor.

However, the recruitment criteria of the Black Knights were extremely strict.

It was so strict that it made people wonder if the Black Knights did not want any more recruits.

“Brrr…”

Amidst the neighing of horses, the Black Knights began to slow down.

The leader of the Knights in black capes lifted the visor on his helmet, revealing a dignified

face.

“Uncle Garcia!”

Vera could not help but shout, tears flashing in her eyes.

The hardships, battles, and life-and-death separation that she had encountered on the way to escape had exhausted this young noble girl who was only eighteen years old. Now that she had finally met her backbone, she could not help but lose her composure.

Marquis Garcia dismounted from his horse and walked in front of Vera, revealing a gentle smile:

“Welcome home!”

Vera did not care about maintaining the etiquette of the nobles. She quickly walked a few steps and threw herself into Marquis Garcia’s arms.

“Hahaha!” Marquis Garcia immediately burst into laughter. He reached out his hand and patted Vera’s back gently. “It seems that you are indeed frightened by those trolls. Don’t be afraid, uncle will avenge you!”

“Uncle…” Vera suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, none of those trolls who invaded the Northern Territory will be able to go back alive!” The marquis looked at Vera’s snow-white hair and a cold light flashed in his eyes. “I give you my word!”

When such arrogant words came out of Marquis Garcia’s mouth, it seemed to be very natural.

No one dared to doubt whether Marquis Garcia had the ability to fulfill his promise.

This marquis, who commanded the Black Knights army, was a god-like existence on the battlefield!

“Greetings, Marquis!” Knight Bliss hurried forward and bowed.

“Knight Bliss.” Marquis Garcia noticed the missing right arm of the other party, “I’m sorry that you lost an arm…”

“My opponent is even more sorry that he lost a head!”

“Hahaha! Good! This is what a northern knight should look like!”

Marquis Garcia hammered Bliss’ chest a few times, not hiding his admiration at all.

Facing this military god of the Northern Territory, the usually calm and even the typically indifferent Knight Bliss showed rare respect and even fanaticism.

Not to mention the soldiers behind them. Most of them were seeing the legendary Marquis of the Northern Territory for the first time. They were so excited that their faces turned red, as if they were just waiting for Marquis Garcia’s order, they would follow the trolls and kill them with their lives.

Even the filial son, Sal, who had always been arrogant, was so excited that he almost could not control himself when he saw the tall figure of Marquis Garcia.

“I want to be like him!”

Sal swore in his heart.

After Marquis Garcia calmed down the fanatical soldiers, Vera finally had the time to go up and ask,

“Uncle, there are many wounded people in the camp. Please arrange for a doctor and a priest to treat them immediately! In addition, there is a knight who is seriously injured and dying…”

“Don’t worry. After I received the news, I specially brought the doctor and the priest who followed the army here.”Marquis Garcia pointed at an old priest with gray hair behind him and introduced him to Vera, “Even Archbishop Raven was dragged here by me.”

“It’s my honor to be able to serve you!” Archbishop Raven bowed to Vera.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you!” Vera heaved a sigh of relief. Although she did not know this Archbishop Raven, she knew that the position of the archbishop was not something that an ordinary priest could take up.

In the entire Northern Territory, the Church of Glory had only arranged for three archbishops.

Priests were not a primary combat class, and their combat strength was not strong. Their main job, apart from serving the Lord of Glory and spreading the sermon, was to conduct baptism and heal injuries.

It could be considered a standard support class.

Therefore, this class was not like the warrior, knight, or mage, which could be divided by strength. However, generally speaking, the higher the position of a priest in the church, the stronger his healing ability was.

In Vera’s opinion, this Archbishop Raven should be the Lord of Glory’s response to her previous prayer.

Therefore, she did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly led Archbishop Raven and the others to Colin’s tent.

Marquis Garcia also followed.

He was very curious about the identity of the knight who could make his niece so nervous.

Vera and Raven walked into the tent.

However, Marquis Garcia stopped in his tracks.

“What’s your name?” He noticed the man who was guarding the tent.

When the crowd went to greet him, the man was the only one who was still guarding the tent.

“My Lord, my name is Raymond Moben. I’m a Knight of the Angele family.”

“That’s…”

“That’s the son of the Baron, Knight Colin Angele.”

Marquis Garcia nodded and patted Raymond’s shoulder to comfort him. He then walked into the tent.

“How is Knight Colin?”

“Not good…” Archbishop Raven’s brow furrowed. “It’s a miracle that he’s still alive.”

“Please try your best!” Vera pleaded on the side.

Raven glanced at Vera, then turned back and exchanged a look with Marquis Garcia, and then took out a delicate small bottle:

“Then, I can only try the holy water.”
