"Did you know? The Black Guards are coming to our White Sturgeon Island."
"Hey, you just found out about this? I knew about it the night before last."
"I say, what on earth is going on?"
In Crescent City, in the Gentle Ewe Tavern, several drinking Crescent Warriors were chatting as if no one was around, and the content of their conversation was very eye-catching.
Soon, a large number of drinkers gathered around the soldiers, and everyone asked questions at once.
"What are the Black Guards?"
The soldier who was asked immediately began to explain with a slurred tongue.
"Hey~ You don't even know this, you are really ignorant."
"The Black Guards are the most elite soldiers among Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal guards. They are all very capable fighters!"
"Can you fight better than those guards in the castle?"
"Of course, otherwise why would they be called the most elite warriors?"
"When will it arrive?"
"It happened in the past few days, or even today. Don't disbelieve me, I heard Lord Stonard say it myself when I was on guard the other day!"
"Hmm~ How will the Black Guards get here? Will they come by boat?"
"I don't know? Maybe they flew directly from Dawn City. After all, they are so powerful."
The soldier shook his head and continued drinking.
As I was drinking, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the street outside.
The sound was so loud that one could not help but wonder if a group of forest elves had invaded the Crescent City area.
The soldiers who were drinking immediately stood up cursing, drew out their new steel knives from their waists, and rushed out of the tavern.
The first soldier rushed to the door of the tavern and was about to shout angrily, but then he saw the situation on the street clearly. He was suddenly shocked and sobered up.
The second warrior rushed over and said, "Fuck the sheep's balls, eh? Oh~ Mother Nature, Black Guards!"
He quickly put the knife back into the sheath, but because he was too excited, he tried several times but failed, and he even almost stabbed himself in the leg.
The third warrior also rushed to the door.
After hearing what his companions said, he became extremely curious and wanted to rush out to see what was going on, but he was blocked by the wall of people in front of him and could not squeeze out.
He was short and couldn't see what was happening in front of him. In a hurry, he simply climbed up to the beam.
After taking a look, his eyes were dazzled: "Oh~~~ It's so damn beautiful!"
On the street outside, I saw ten black-clad iron guards wearing silver masks forming a row, five rows in total. In the middle, there were several very strong black-clad iron guards, carrying two huge wooden boxes engraved with many silver runes.
There were only fifty people, but the oppressive feeling they created was as terrifying as that of a mighty army.
Wherever the team went, the crowds of onlookers retreated desperately as if they were squeezed by an air wall.
In order to retreat faster, he even rolled around in the mud.
Because of this unusual noise, a horse was frightened.
'Xi repeatedly repeatedly~~'
The horse raised its front legs and knocked over the rider on its back, then rose up on all fours and rushed towards the formation of the Black Guards from the side.
"Be careful~~~The horse is startled!"
"Hide quickly~~Hide quickly~~"
People shouted subconsciously.
In a blink of an eye, the horse rushed to thirty meters in front of the black guards.
At this moment, a female wizard dressed in black in the first row suddenly raised the exquisite and cold staff in her hand and pointed it at the galloping horse.
'Snap~bump~snap~~'
Three consecutive bolts of lightning as thick as arms exploded, instantly crossing a distance of thirty meters and hitting the horse like a whip of God.
Look at the horse again.
His whole body was on fire, and the place where he was electrocuted was covered in blood and flesh. He died instantly, and his body rolled on the ground simply due to inertia.
Just as the tumbling horse was about to hit the crowd of onlookers, a burly man suddenly rushed out from among the black-clad guards.
He took a quick step and actually reached the horse.
The man lifted his hands back to lift up his dark black windbreaker with a sun emblem and stepped down.
There was a dull thud, and the tumbling horse was pinned to the ground by a foot. The fire on the horse was also blown out by the strong wind brought by the charge of the black-clad guards.
The lightning and the trampling were coordinated perfectly, and the sudden crisis was resolved in an extremely violent but extremely safe way.
The people of White Sturgeon Island, whether they were ordinary people or warriors, and even a few knights who were watching the fun, were all dazzled.
Growing up on a small island, how could anyone have seen such a handsome and pretentious style? ! 'Hua La~~Hua La~~Hua La~~'
With the sound of orderly footsteps, the heroic and ruthless black-clad guards resolved the crisis, paid no attention to the frantic people, and instantly restored their orderly formation, heading towards the Crescent Castle on the top of the mountain again.
It was not until the black guards walked away that the shocked people came to their senses and began to talk wildly.
"Oh my god! The horse was electrocuted!"
"Look, there's a footprint here~~~The horse's ribs are all broken, just one foot is broken, is this still a human?!"
He stopped the tumbling horse with one foot, and without any burst of fighting spirit, his physical strength was already more explosive than that of high-level knights!
"They are indeed the elite among the elite. They are so powerful!"
"Won't the rebels in the mountains be beaten into pulp?"
"That's right~ Our New Moon City is completely safe!"
The story of the Black Guards is not over yet.
When this neatly-lined team of black-clad guards arrived at the gate of Crescent Castle, they stopped.
One of the large boxes was placed on the ground, while the other one continued to be held up.
At the castle gate, all the Crescent Warriors on duty had arrived, more than 200 of them.
They also stood in line neatly.
The reason is that the Baron and the Princess Royal are going to make an important speech at the castle gate.
Also because it was at the castle gate, many people from Crescent City who loved to join in the fun gathered around and watched from afar.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the baron said loudly: "Crescent Warriors, you are blessed!"
"Because my wife, the princess of Dawn City, has ordered a batch of powerful spell amulets from Dawn City specifically for you."
"Today, every warrior present will receive a magic amulet, and it will be worn on your chest by the leader of the Black Guard, senior battle mage, Miss Akali!"
They were just ordinary warriors. Could ordinary warriors also wear spell amulets? At this time, Princess Selena came out and looked at the shocked Crescent Moon Warriors.
"Warriors, over the past half month, I have seen your determination and efforts in defending Crescent City."
"New Moon City has been protected very well by you, so these magic amulets are the rewards you deserve!"
Even the princess has spoken of it, so it must be true.
The Crescent Moon Warriors were all lost.
The soldiers from the small place had never seen such a big move!
Not to mention that the Crescent Warriors had seen it, even the Flame Warriors who came to watch had never seen it!
In this world, is there any lord who would give magic amulets to ordinary soldiers?
The warriors of their Flame Regiment have not yet been fully equipped!
Yop and several deputy group leaders felt heartbroken when seeing this.
Deputy Head Harry couldn't help but say, "Your Highness is so generous."
He was a little jealous.
Yop looked at the group of black-clad iron guards next to him who were emitting a murderous aura. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
He couldn't help but whisper to the deputy captains.
"I feel like there's at least one combat master in that group, maybe two. Anyway, I don't think I can win against them."
Harry curled his lips subconsciously: "It's better to rely on magic tools. Look at the leading female wizard. Her staff looks inconspicuous, but it is equipped with three high-level lightning crystals."
He was well-informed and already knew about the electric horses on the streets.
Looking at his staff, it only has two crystal lattices, both of which are intermediate-level crystal lattices. It is not at the same level as the opponent's weapon at all.
If the two sides confront each other head-on, he will be defeated in two rounds at most.
Just as the commanders of the Flame Regiment were envious and jealous, the black-clad female mage with a great figure and as cold as ice walked to the huge wooden box and opened the heavy lid with one hand.
When the lid was opened, a dazzling silver light suddenly appeared inside.
Everyone squinted their eyes and looked over, and immediately gasped.
It was magic amulets! There were countless magic amulets!
Obviously, each one is very exquisite, but they are piled up casually like stones, as if these things are not valuable at all.
But God knows, on the island in the past, only the Baron could afford such a good thing.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't move for a long time, as if they were petrified.
Akali spoke, her cold voice tinged with a feminine huskyness.
"Loyal Crescent Warriors, please line up in order and come before me. I will wear the badge of courage on you."
Baron Rosen immediately explained: "These are low-level lightning amulets. The battle mages of the Black Guard said that once the lightning energy in the amulets is activated, you can go to them to recharge them at any time."
“If it’s broken, you can just replace it.”
It would have been fine if this had not been explained. Once it was explained, the commanders of the Flame Regiment became so jealous that they almost hated him.
Harry grinned and said, "There are at least two thousand amulets in the box, with a market value of more than 150,000 Oggs. Even if they are produced by the Duke's workshop, the cost is more than 50,000 Oggs."
Alex, deputy leader of the shield guard, sighed: "Baron, this is not marrying a princess, this is marrying a mountain of gold!"
The four commanders sighed in unison, unable to understand why the dignified Princess Dawn would be willing to marry an ordinary-looking little baron from such a shabby island.
After a long while, Harry found a reason to make himself feel better, and thought to himself: "Maybe. Maybe the Baron is better off."
Look at those Crescent Warriors again.
When they were given the amulet by Akali, they wished they could lift their chests to the sky.
They were so happy and excited that one could not help but suspect that even if this cold lady in black stepped on their faces with her fragrant boots and told them to die on the spot, they would be very happy to do it without hesitation.
There were 200 Crescent Warriors on duty in the castle. Although Akali moved quickly, by the time the amulet was put on the last warrior, almost an hour had passed.
Rosen waved to the Black Guards and said loudly: "Noble and glorious warriors, thank you for your hard work. Now, follow me to the resting place specially prepared for you."
This resting place is naturally the lord's long house.
Normally, only 10 Iron Guards would be displayed for show, and the remaining 40 would be parked in the underground magic laboratory to save energy, and could be deployed for emergency use when needed.
Anyway, the Black Guards have always been known for being mysterious and terrifying, and no one has the courage to explore the details.
As the Black Guards entered the castle, the crowd gradually dispersed.
But the topic people were talking about was still all about the black guards and the two heavy boxes they were carrying.
People couldn't help but wonder, since one big box contained so many magic amulets, what kind of treasures did the other big box contain?
There is no answer yet, but all kinds of related speculations and rumors are flying around like they have wings, covering the entire White Sturgeon Island almost in one day.
At the same time, the "Return to Peace Edict" issued by the Baron was also flying all over the island.
The decree reads: 'The Baron is the supreme lord of Sturgeon Island, and the four great knights and the forest elves are all rebels!'
'But the baron is merciful. Except for the murderer who directly participated in the murder of my father, the rest of the rebels will not be held accountable as long as they are willing to surrender.'
'As long as the common people of the four towns go to New Moon City, each person can get 50 kilograms of potatoes and will be properly settled in New Moon City. As long as they abide by the laws of New Moon City, no one can bully them.'
By evening, Felix, who was doing recovery exercises in the cave, preparing to avenge his previous humiliation, heard the news.
"Dang~~"
He couldn't hold the wooden knotty hammer in his hand anymore and it fell to the ground.
When he turned around to look at his companions, all he saw was despair deep in their bones.
The gap is so huge that it makes it impossible for people to muster the desire to resist.
After a long time, Felix silently picked up the wooden knot hammer, but did not continue to exercise. Instead, he sat down with the weapon and sighed deeply.
“Hey~~~~~~”
The great-grandmother of the Yigo tribe also knew the news.
After a quarter of an hour of silence, she called her eldest grandson Igonini.
"Go to the Nalin tribe to find Phoenix and discuss how to jointly deal with the Heg tribe."
"Yes, Grandma."
Igognini took immediate action.
