Chapter 917 899. The lightless world
‘Is it not allowed to wear military armor because of the payment of wages in the school grounds today?’?
Lan En thought silently in his heart and sighed.
An old-fashioned plan, but really simple and effective.
After all, the Knights of Lothric are completely loyal to Lothric, and one of the two princes of the coup, the eldest prince Lorian, even personally led the knights to fight.
The knights respected this noble and brave prince of the gods.
But because of this kind of loyalty and respect, who can be wary when the prince personally orders them to gather in the chapel?
Lan En pinched his temples calmly, looking as if he had just woken up and was still a little unconscious.
But he was actually relieving the pain in his head that was like being bitten by predatory bugs.
The erosion of darkness is becoming more apparent as the First Fire weakens.
But according to Mentos' biological clock, it should be daytime now!
Lorenzo asked beside Lan.
It’s too dark.
The Lothric knights who had just replaced their patrol posts were also resting against the wall in the church hall. Some priests were unskilled in using restorative [miracles] to heal the injuries they sustained while patrolling.
At this point, there was some light in the poor visibility.
Then he walked towards the body of the flying dragon outside the church.
The sun in this world turned into a "bleeding eclipse" some time ago, and the light intensity was like the tail end of dusk on a normal day.
No wonder, the darkness in the body is stirring.
“Do you mind if I take a look at the dragon knight coming down from the inner city?”
And when Lan En and Lorenzo pushed open the heavy church door, the witcher's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
This flying dragon's corpse showed many signs of being ravaged by thunder.
“Since you woke up just now, I feel like you are feeling a little uncomfortable.”
“That’s why I’m looking for you.” Lorenzo nodded nonchalantly and watched Lan En stand up from the ground. "I need a lot of advice right now, any advice."
Because the world is one step closer to extinction.
"How are you?"
Thunderbolts, and thunder pots similar to flame pots.
That is the dragon-hunting equipment of the Lothric knights.
And now.
Lothric knights, as well as the common people who were lucky enough to be alive and came to the church to seek refuge on the high wall, all demolished the wood and furniture on the building and made simple fires and torches.
The light in the sky is now only equivalent to a dark night when the moon is still good.
Although the Knights of Lothric are now accompanied by dragons, the skill of hunting dragons is still the foundation of the combat system.
“No, it’s nothing.” Lan En calmly skipped the topic.
Originally, the steps in front of the church were wide enough for ten people to walk side by side.
But when a flying dragon fell here, the dragon's wing claws and wing membranes were too large and had to hang diagonally on the wall beside the stairs.
Lorenzo's words were their tendency at the moment.
After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Priest Emma looked up at the lightless sky and finally sighed.
“Yes. Nothing is more important than inheriting the flame.”
“Let’s go, pick up some strong men, and I will show you the way to your Majesty’s courtyard.”
It wasn’t until the Emma priest sighed and said these words that Lorenzo’s expression softened a little, and the surrounding Lothric knights also seemed to have a slightly high morale.
Wearing helmets, they nodded to each other as a celebration of hearing good news in this increasingly bad world.
But at this time, Lan En put forward a different point of view.
“I suggest it’s better not to let too many people go, everyone.”
Suddenly, people around him looked at the demon hunter.
The demon hunter seemed not to feel these gazes, and fiddled with the small lantern on the waist of the dragon knight's body with the toe of his boot.
“This lantern is just hanging on his waist, but there is no sign of it being lit, everyone.”
The witcher raised his head and glanced around with his cat eyes.
“I’m not looking down on your fighting will, but can you maintain your fighting power in the dark?”
The darkness in this world is not a simple phenomenon of light and shadow, but something with real influence.
So the Lothric knights present now either have small lighted glass lanterns on their waists, or they hold torches in their hands for lighting.
“But this guy is fine.”
Lan kicked the little lantern again that had not been lit until it broke.
"They serve the prince and have never changed their loyalty even to this point. So it doesn't matter even if they fight in the dark."
"Darkness is flourishing now. If they attack now, who will have the advantage? If the elite knights are sent out, will there be any ability to deal with it?"
Even the most aggressive Lorenzo could only close his mouth, grit his teeth, and bulge his muscles under Lan En's calm questions, but could not utter a word of rebuttal.
This is indeed a real problem.
In order to spread the fire, they should take action. But in this city, it is estimated that this is the only Fire Sect stronghold that still retains its organizational structure.
If this place is captured, then the Holy City of Fire Transferring Lothric will be equivalent to a complete fall.
“So what do you think?”
Priest Emma did not hesitate after making the decision, and directly asked Lan En, who raised the question, if he had a plan.
“The plan does allow me to go, alone.”
Lan En said with a nonchalant expression.
“I am not a member of the Knights, and I have no cooperation in fighting with you. My leaving will not have much impact on the combat effectiveness here.”
“And to be honest, your mobility is really poor. It’s much more convenient for me to do it alone.”
Lorenzo’s expression stiffened.
Others may have doubts about this statement, but he has personally seen Lan En jump onto a roof several meters high with just a slight turn!
Although I don’t know why this guy can move so elegantly, there is no doubt that what he said is true.
“It seems that everyone has no opinions?”
Priest Emma looked at Lorenzo's expression and nodded.
"Okay, it's settled. Come here, Lan. I'll show you the way."
