Chapter 912 894. Confirm position
Maruk, who was dazzled by the cold white magic light, suddenly felt a sense of disgust and jealousy rising in his heart.
Aiming at the face of the enemy in front of you.
Involuntarily, the tip of the sword, which was supposed to be aimed at the enemy's chest, with the largest area, most organs, and the most secure position, suddenly turned towards the demon hunter's face.
Maluk showed a rare expression of gnashing his teeth, showing great emotional fluctuations.
But after the sword was thrust out, the expression disappeared, leaving only horror.
He realized something was wrong with his mentality, but it was already too late.
The tip of the sword that stabbed Lan En's cheek seemed to hit a protective shield.
There was a crackling sound like broken glass, and fragments of the golden chaos magic shield flew away.
However, the strength of [Quen's Seal] is weak compared to the sword of the Lothrik Knight Commander. It only broke through the upper limit of endurance with just one sword.
But this finally gave Lan En a chance.
Before Maluk could react, he cursed angrily, and Lan stepped on the shield he held on his chest.
Just when Maruk was about to slash the sword blade out, his wrist snapped and was held by Lan En.
Originally, Maluk had the upper hand by smearing those strange black liquids on the knight leader.
One by one, the Lothric knights half-knelt down towards the knight leader at the base of the city wall.
A stream of blood arrows spurted out from the helmet grille. Lao Gao's body, which was stepped on by Lan En and his shield, suddenly stiffened at first, and then became weak, leaving only a few twitches.
Only a few silver hairs were cut off.
The leader, who had been aggressive, calm and powerful when we met just now, now had trouble even leaning against the wall and sitting still.
Lan En smoothly turned the handle of the knife he was holding behind his back and threw it to the ground. All the blood on the knife splashed onto the ground. Leaving behind a tragic splatter of blood.
With a ‘bang’ sound, even the shield and arms were pressed against the chest.
This move did work.
The blade of the sword was right next to his ear, but Lan En's voice was as brisk as ever, and a little strange.
And the words did not delay his movements.
The one with the highest status and the strongest fighting ability among the Lothrik knights standing there spoke, and the rest stopped and put away their weapons.
“He is not an enemy, just a witness who is involved.”
Although the Lothric knights who had finished the battle were still panting and clutching the hilts of their swords, they did not attack the unfamiliar Lan En directly.
Although death in this world is not taken as seriously as in other worlds because it is too common, it is still respected as it should be.
The addition of Lorenzo, an elite knight, greatly enhanced the power of the Fire Sect. With one big sword and one man, he killed at least seven or eight of his former colleagues.
And the long knife in the demon hunter's hand turned in a circle smoothly, turning into a reverse grip in the palm of his hand.
Wrestling and jujitsu are very useful against armor-piercing enemies.
Looking further to the side, the basic fighting has subsided.
Members of the Knights of Lothric gathered around.
With a "clang" sound, the knight captain wearing full plate armor was pulled by one hand, spun around in the air as if under a spell, and finally hit the ground.
After he dealt with the knight leader, he turned to face Lorenzo, and the chance of winning was not small.
Then with a crisp 'pop', the head of the long knife was accurately inserted through the gap in the grille-shaped visor of the knight's helmet.
So those knights who were loyal to the prince are now being quickly strangled.
Amidst the skillful mobilization of muscles, a soft and strange force followed the wrist and invaded Maluk's whole body.
When the results arrived, it was discovered that the biggest difficulty in this ceremony actually came from the royal family itself.
“But now, the most important thing is to continue the initial fire.”
The old voice of Emma’s priest continued.
At this time, Lorenzo, who was half-kneeling in front of the captain of the knights, stood up, said a few words to the half-kneeling knights, and then walked towards this side.
As he walked towards the officiant Emma, he flashed the ring on his hand, looking vigorous and resolute.
Just in the slightly red eyes, anger and sadness are being suppressed, but they are still vaguely revealed.
Like lava flowing quietly, gently but frighteningly.
The ring with the silhouette of a white knight printed on the ring was originally worn on the hand of the head of the knights.
"I am now the leader of the Knights of Lothric, Lord Priest."
Emma first looked at the knight commander who was already leaning against the wall in the distance, and then nodded to Lorenzo.
“Greetings to you, Your Excellency, Master of the Knights.”
Lorenzo first looked at the state where Lan En and Emma, the officiant, had become slightly familiar with each other.
After identifying people who belong to the same camp, the mode of getting along with each other will change subtly from the previous mode of strangers.
Furthermore, Lan En and Emma, the priests, did not want to hide this relationship with the same camp, so Lorenzo could see it at a glance.
“It seems that our witness has another identity?”
He first stared at Lan En and then shook his head.
“But at this point, any differences can be put aside except for spreading the flames.”
“Thank you for your understanding.” Lan En stood beside the officiant and nodded to Lorenzo. "After all, I couldn't clarify each other's positions before. It's much better now."
Lorenzo nodded in response, and then looked at Priest Emma.
“What should we do now?”
As the two highest-ranking figures on the scene began to discuss strategies, the knights who were half-kneeling to pay respects to the body of the former knight leader not far away also began to stand up.
Seemingly following some of Lothric's traditions, these knights began to chop off the heads of the knights who had just died in battle.
Then they placed their bodies against the wall and leaned against them.
There is no distinction between ourselves and the enemy.
Among them, the corpse of the Knight Commander was arranged in the most solemn manner. They kept the Knight Commander's corpse in a pious kneeling position, and placed his head on their knees and held it with both hands.
This is the embodiment of the sacrificial spirit of Lothric knights.
Even throughout the city, there are many roadside sculptures depicting such images.
Others depict a kneeling knight holding his sword and rubbing his neck against it to determine himself.
In this world with a strong aura of death, Lan En was not surprised that such a death ritual occurred.
“Should we fight back to the inner city immediately? All the elite forces of the Knights are at the dragon training ground in the inner city.”
"The priests in my church will help. Maybe the church knights guarding the door for King Osroais can also help? They are His Majesty's bodyguards, and they should always contribute in this era that is about to overthrow."
The two people talked to each other, assessing the strength that each could lead, as well as the strength of the enemy.
But at this moment, Lan En interrupted.
“Instead of counterattacking the inner city now, shouldn’t you take a look at this first?”
"Um?"
Lorenzo made a strange questioning sound.
But then, a series of sounds of Lothric knights drawing their swords out of their scabbards were heard.
