Alien Knights

The sound of sword clashing echoed in the open space by the sea.

Sabrina controlled the body of the melee successor, and fought with Dion with ease. She looked more like she was having fun: "Not bad, really good. My sister, you are so young, your body is so soft and weak, and your sword skills are so superb. You are the first one I have seen in so many years!"

In contrast, Dion can only be said to be struggling to support Sabrina's attack. He was at a loss, and his shirt was completely wet with sweat.

Dodging a crossbow bolt from the attacker, Sabrina picked up a stone with her feet and threw it to the onlookers with her hands. Hearing the screams in her ears, she said displeasedly: "You should thank me that I am in a good mood now, otherwise you would have been lying in the mud!"

Dion took a step back and shouted to the people around him, "Get out of here!"

After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Dion, who had reached his physical and mental limits, could no longer hold the weapon in his hand, and was kicked to the ground by his opponent.

"Is it too soon?" Sabrina pointed the long sword at the opponent's throat: "Unfortunately, I thought the fun would last longer."

Looking around at the frightened and fleeing crowd, Sabrina walked up to Dion, knelt down and took a deep breath: "My sister, with your swordsmanship talent, as long as you practice hard for another ten years, the title of the strongest in the mainland may fall to you. But unfortunately, it is not my style to leave behind a powerful enemy."

Sabrina stood up, raised the sword again, and pointed the blade at Dion's chest, but she didn't see any movement for a long time. Her face was complicated: "What's going on? This is too strange... This is the first time I face an enemy, and there will be hesitant emotions."

Suddenly, Sabrina turned her head to the distance, her attention was attracted by other things, and she only heard her talking to herself: "What's going on? Great Elder?!"

A few seconds later, Sabrina opened her round eyes with an incredulous expression, and yelled in the direction of no one: "Escape? You let me escape?! What happened?!"

On the distant horizon, a figure quickly approached.

The people looked intently and shouted: "It is Your Majesty! Our king is safe and sound!"

Sabrina looked at the king standing in front of her, and stuttered, "You... how did you escape?! Where's Clarence?!"

Todd's face was a little confused, he looked at his hands, without words.

Sabrina, who didn't get the answer, turned the long sword in her hand, walked towards Todd, and said angrily: "Clarence is an unreliable guy! In the end, I have to do it myself!"

Todd raised his head, looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, and then at the enemy approaching with a sword. He slowly squatted down and stretched his hands into the ground. After a while, the ground began to shake, cracks appeared in the ground, and the soil and stones in front of him seemed to be liquefied and turned into a swamp.

As Sabrina walked, her feet got heavier and heavier, until she was glued to the floor and could no longer move.

The bubbling mud rose from the ground, first her feet, then her waist and hips, and finally her chest. The mud and rocks tightly wrapped her body. From a distance, it looked like a human head protruding from a raised mound.

Sabrina tried to use her strength to break free from the mud and rocks, but after a struggle, her escape failed.

"Why do you use the abilities of 'earthquake' and 'soil control'? These should be the abilities of Clarence!" Sabrina looked at Todd, shaking her head and shouting.

Todd withdrew his arm, stood up, looked at Sabrina who was firmly imprisoned, and said: "In order to escape, Clarence transferred part of his memory and abilities to me through the linked nervous system."

After Todd finished speaking, he walked up to Sabrina, stretched his hands towards her head, and said, "The ability of 'Soul Link' is the same, I have something to ask you."

Sabrina looked at Todd coldly: "King Muxi, you won this time, but who will know the result next time?"

After finishing speaking, the "blood thread" flowed out from her mouth and nose, penetrated into the ground, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The melee successor's head drooped, and he couldn't breathe anymore.

Todd frowned at the victim in the mound, and finally sighed.

Before the assassination of the king, almost no one would have believed that just three alien species from the Presbyterian Church could turn the entire city upside down and bring such a huge loss to the entire Muxi Kingdom.

The King’s Guards consisted of 32 members, and almost all of them were wiped out. The only survivors were Alfonso and a few lucky ones. The soldiers and residents in charge of searching for the King also suffered huge losses. More than half of the 100-man guards, including the garrison commander, were lost. Another 12 residents also lost their lives.

A week later, the Muxi Knights and the North Island Knights returned to the city. The number of casualties in the Kingdom rose from less than a hundred to more than 270.

The defense battle of Beishi Fortress, the surprise attack of alien war beasts and the fierce battle of the city defense resulted in 20% casualties of the Muxi Knights. Commander Huggins suffered severe spinal injuries during the war and spent more than a month in bed. Even if he got out of bed to walk again, he still had to rely on crutches or support. The monk in charge of medical treatment warned him not to do strenuous activities in the future, and even suggested that he give up his horse life.

The Father's Advent has become a day of mourning for the Kingdom.

Hundreds of the kingdom's elite were forever buried in the knights' cemetery, and black crosses and white cloth banners could be seen everywhere in the city. The coffins in the carpenter's shop were all ordered, and the king had to order the use of freezing methods to preserve the corpses, and asked carpenters and stonemasons to speed up preparations for burial.

The only thing that can make people feel a little relieved is that Silver Ring City was completely destroyed, and its territory was merged into Muxi Kingdom. Hundreds of defeated soldiers and refugees flocked to the gate of the city every day, asking for the kingdom's asylum;

The outstanding performance of the Beidao Knights in "Silver Ring Elegy" not only won the king's award, but also carried out the first expansion on the basis of the original 130 members. Under the call of the king, 9 Valkyries and 42 Beidao warriors gave up the life of the village, hoping to use the way of fighting to obtain the glory of the gods and endless wealth.

The duel between Knight Dion and Sabrina bought precious time for the retreat and preservation of the people. With this feat, he was not only restored to his post, but was also appointed by the royal family as the palace swordsmanship instructor.

The time came to June 4, 1172, the underground test site in Muxi City.

Todd put a blood sample he had just drawn under the microscope, and watched the Sutherland bacteria in the eyepiece expand continuously, engulf the red blood cells and platelets in the blood, and finally enlarge and mutate.

Taking notes of a series of data on the bacteria, a pale Todd closed his eyes: "Even with the use of phages and antibiotics to suppress the number of microorganisms in the body, the mutation of Sutherland bacteria is still going on. I didn't expect that Clarence's parting "gift" would break through the maximum limit of the number of heterogeneous bacteria in my body while granting me supernatural powers, triggering the mutation of Sutherland bacteria."

"The most troublesome thing is that the mutation of Sutherland bacteria is irreversible, and the traditional microbial approach can only delay this mutation." Todd lifted his sleeves, opened his eyes, stroked a small piece of "scale-like mutant protrusion" on his left arm, and whispered: "Before I mutate, I must find a solution."
