Chapter 2729 Shadow Lord (2)

It was about noon, and Arthur, who was driving the boat, could already see Elba Island in the distance.

"Lower the anchor! Stay alert!" Three hundred yards from Elba's Bund, Arthur stopped the boat: "Verne, can you see the island from this distance? "

"Well, wait a minute." Verne raised his binoculars and looked around. Even with his excellent eyesight, he needs some tools to assist from this distance.

"Hmm...?" He grunted.

"What's the matter? Is there an enemy in ambush?" Arthur asked: "What is the exact number?"

"No, wait, but it's very strange..." Verne continued to look around, leaning most of his body over the railing beside the boat, and almost didn't fall into the sea.

"I didn't see the warships of the Holy See moored in the port from here." Johnny Zuster said: "It always feels weird, the whole station is quiet."

"The more than 20 warships we sank yesterday were supposed to be the permanent armaments of this inn." Arthur shrugged: "If they don't return home all night, and there is no news, the inn The people here are probably panicking."

"Then they should send pigeons to the Holy See to ask for reinforcements. Maybe more warships will come later." Belleta guessed: "If we can knock down this station first, we can This is the base to repeat what we did last night, and it should be able to hit the Roman Navy again."

"Or, reinforcements won't come at all," said the King of Knights.

"Huh? Why?"

"Whether it's releasing the plague in Corsica, or sending a group of people to encircle us who should be in Corsica; I suspect that a series of actions are arbitrary actions of some people within the Holy See. So last night in The Pope's knight in Bastia was kept in the dark and became a bait and a victim." Arthur analyzed: "And this series of arbitrary actions by the enemy is obviously aimed at us. It is very likely that this is him. The situation I want to create---in order to destroy us alone, and take all the credit. There may be other reasons, such as some precious magic tools in my hand."

Arthur didn't say it explicitly, but Belletta should know that the "magic tool" he was talking about was the two "Magic of the Abyss" in his hand.

"Exclusive... who would do that?"

"It must have surrendered to the church not long ago, but I'm not completely loyal to the church." The King of Knights was ambiguous: "Anyway, we will soon understand what is going on. Verne , are you okay? What did you see?"

"Um...it's weird...the corpses on the beach...and there are many, many human corpses and various animal corpses." the boy replied : "People seem to be rushing out in agony, fleeing to the beach, they have no strength to escape, and then close down."

"Black Death." The King of Knights snorted. All this is not far from what he expected.

"Isn't the entire Elba Island contaminated by the Black Death?" Johnny Zuster could not help frowning: "Who did it? Why did it do this? Isn't this the church's [ Station]? How would it benefit them to destroy this place?"

"It really doesn't do the church any favors. For some people, it makes it easier for him to act because he can do whatever he wants without witnesses." Arthur said, "Anyway, that man Is sending me a challenge letter. Probably hoping I'll go to Elba alone and face him."

"Don't go. It's definitely a trap." Belleta grunted.

"I know it's a trap. I have to rescue my old friend Zuster."

"What? Father he------?"

"Well, he was probably taken to the island as a hostage." The King of Knights touched his chin: "But don't worry, since Old Zust is a hostage, the initiator of everything will definitely not let him die easily. He It is difficult to say whether he contracted the Black Death or not."

Arthur took a glass bottle from his arms, with a syringe: "This is I... er, a doctor named Joffrey gave me, the antidote for the Black Death. Put this Mix it with the patient's blood and heat it with an open flame to inactivate the vaccine, and then inject the vaccine into the patient's body to cure the Black Death. This amount is probably enough for twice. I'll leave it to you for safekeeping."

"But what about you?"

"I am immune to the Black Death, don't worry." The king of knights walked to the spare lifeboat on the side of the warship: "I will explore that island by myself. Those of you who are not immune, don't come here to avoid getting sick. "

"Wow!" Bedivere moved closer to Arthur, as if trying to follow.

"No." Arthur shook his head: "Although you are immune, the spirits that can be used to disinfect the ship are not enough. I can barely use the spirits to disinfect the whole body. You furry must consume the disinfection. There's a lot more liquid than me. If you're infected with pathogens on the island, don't you plan to get on the boat?"

"Wow..." Bedivere took a half step back.

"Don't worry, I'll be back when I go." The King of Knights said, "As I said, this is the opponent's challenge letter. I'm going to see that guy alone, and the other party should be the only one left. There is only one guy on the island who is immune to the Black Death and uses it as a weapon."

"Mage Fernandez..." Bayoretta had already guessed it.

"It should be." The King of Knights sneered and jumped on the boat: "Let's see what tricks that arrogant guy can play."

"Wait!" Seeing that Arthur was about to set off, Verne quickly asked: "Are you going to the island? What if the Roman Navy came over before you came back?"

"I would suggest that you shoot and sink those navies. But I can't tell how big the fleet will actually be. You can adapt accordingly. If the number is about half of what you encountered last night, you can win. .If there are more than this... well, you guys try to keep a low profile and hide?"

"This..." A drop of sweat appeared on Verne's forehead.

"Also, watch out for seabirds." Arthur put down the lifeboat: "If any seabirds want to get close to this boat, shoot them all down. Those seabirds may also carry diseases, so don't relax."

"Understood." Verne replied with less confidence.

"Then, see you later." The king of knights rowed a small boat and approached the beach of the island.

Death.

Greater silence.

It was noon, but the beach on Elba Island was enveloped by a mysterious suffocation, and the surroundings were unusually quiet. The reason why it was so quiet was because there were no more living creatures on the beach. From humans to snakes, insects, rats, and ants, even the various seabirds that were supposed to haunt the seaside had turned into corpses on the ground. The only sounds on the beach were the waves and Arthur's own footsteps.

As Verne said, the human corpses on the ground are all facing the same direction, lying with their backs to the sky, as if something terrible is chasing behind them, these people are dying for the moment before they die Running wildly, trying to escape from the "post station" to the seaside. However, there are no ships here. All the warships had already left for Corsica last night, and they were ambushed by Arthur and his party and were completely wiped out. The deceased here probably had desperately fled to the seaside, but only when they saw that there was no boat on the seashore, would they be completely desperate and swallowed their last breath in despair.

Most of the deceased were clergymen in white robes, and there were also more than a dozen Holy See crusaders and two fully armed papal knights. The other people in civilian clothes should be civilians working in the "inn", and they cannot be implicated.

It won't help to care about these people now. Arthur looked up at the road up the mountain. The entire island was quiet, except for the verdant green forest scenery that did not change at all. Is there no other living thing in the whole of Elba? Except for Fernandez, the "Necromancer" who was waiting for Arthur in the depths of the island, is there only Arthur left?

The King of Knights did not dare to relax, and directly summoned the [Legion---Angel with Wings], while holding the Seraph holy sword in his hand, he set off towards the mountains and forests. The "posting station" is still quite conspicuous in the mountains and forests. It is a fifty-foot-high marble building. It is quite large, and it is estimated that it is enough for hundreds of people to work and live in it.

Fernandez must be hiding there, and it is very likely that he is secretly observing Arthur's every move in a dark corner of the upper level of the "Inn". Since that guy was originally from the ivory tower, it is estimated that he knew the existence of the [Winged Angel], so Arthur had no need to hide his strength, so he used the legion to prevent sneak attacks.

[Winged Angel] basically operates automatically in the non-precision operation (brain control) mode, and only operates according to the program numbered earlier. There are roughly two kinds of [automatic attack mode] and [automatic defense mode]. [Auto-attack mode] naturally locks one or more targets to attack under the user's instructions; and [auto-defense mode] actually consists of these four winged angel knight golems arranged on the left and right sides of Arthur to form a defense Battle formations to defend against the raids of all the enemies around.

The [Winged Angel] in the [Auto Defense Mode] will automatically detect and respond to all surrounding attacks, and the whole process has nothing to do with the user's will. That is to say, no matter how powerful the sneak attack of stealth spells is, it will not be able to successfully attack Arthur, and before the attack arrives, it will be blocked by the winged knight golems.

What's more, it is impossible for Arthur to be attacked with [Mind Eyes~IndoMTL.com~. Before the opponent shows hostility and wants to attack the Knight King, the opponent's attack trajectory will be predicted by the Knight King. It is naturally not difficult to dodge an attack that has been predicted for a long time.

But why? Arthur still had a very uneasy feeling. His intuition has always been accurate, one of the necessary skills for his survival to this day. Since Fernandez is from the ivory tower and knows everything about [the Legion] (and about Arthur), he certainly won't fight an uncertain battle. If the enemy can't sneak up on Arthur with the [Winged Angel] with normal methods, what method will he use---------?

The answer will be revealed soon.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! ------There is some kind of restless sound, like a wave, but it is more piercing than the wave.

Some kind of black stuff is pouring out of the building, and the number is extremely large!

...It's a rat! Thousands of black mice!

These mad black mice with red light in their eyes are like a terrifying wave, posing in a huge fan formation, rushing towards Arthur frantically!
