Chapter 844: Chapter 844 Four Roads

[The Damp Ruins]

The ruins were completely isolated from reality, serving as a special spatial domain for the wetlands battle—its essence was superior to the overlay of “four land deeds.”

If one were to trace the origin of these ruins, it would naturally be related to the [Toad Ancestor].

The Toad Ancestor only created this space and did not intervene in the battle itself.

“Space Devour”

All the formal knights had undergone multiple spatial transmissions from “Door of Fate.”

Stomp~

Footwear firmly stepped on the moist ground of the ruins.

At the first sound of rain droplets, the knights skilled in barrier spells immediately constructed a barrier that encompassed everyone, preventing the rain containing toad eggs from coming into contact with the body.

[Eyeless Bernal]

Lifting his lightless robe edged with silver, he pressed his palm against the ground and discerned some of the ruin’s special traits through a peculiar method.

“An entirely independent space… ‘Endless Energy’ has been severed from us, and the power armor won’t be able to operate for long.

The ‘foundation’ building this wasteland might even surpass the four ‘mid-tier land deeds’… Indeed, higher beings coveted the wetlands and have secretly laid all this out in advance.

No wonder they insisted on adding a clause in the [Battle Agreement] giving them the choice of battle area.”

“Bernal, do you mean to say, there’s a [Myth Level] fellow or higher hiding in the wetlands?”

“Yes… such a perfected independent space, I can’t find any flaws.

Only those who can touch those rules are capable of creating such a space… The four land deeds are only a fulcrum, making this place even more stable.

However, since their name does not appear in the [Battle Agreement], they will not interfere with the battle itself.

We should quickly consider the current situation. How should we choose among the four paths, and how should we deal with the state of the [43] lost knights?”

“Bernal, with your highest experience outside the city walls… the supreme command should be yours. We three are willing to follow your arrangement.”

Bernal nodded and took on the heavy responsibility of supreme commander:

“Good.

First, I would like Dr. Landon Castinov to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on the lost knights, after ruling out the physical body, I will shield their thoughts with [Field of No Light].

I personally suggest not letting them participate in this battle, it’s best for them to rest in the hub area of the ruins.”

“Hmm.”

The special doctor who stood at 185 centimeters tall with golden curly hair and wearing a mask walked towards the isolated lost knights amidst the crowd… These lost scout knights had been in Toad City for at least one hour, and it was uncertain what they had suffered during this time.

Dr. Landon Castinov

The physician with the highest surgical skills in the Scarlet Knights, also nicknamed the [Butcher]… serving as the head of surgery at the Red Cross main hospital, he was also involved in live demon dissection.

[Blood Knight-Lucius] followed this Dr. Castinov, learning the “cutting skills.”

This second platoon leader of the Scarlet Knights was a considerably dangerous individual, both outside and inside the city walls.

Although all the patients he took over survived, seeing Dr. Landon for these patients was scarier than encountering demons…

Even though the Scarlet Knights were positioned as a reserve force, if they were sent to the battlefield, this doctor’s killing speed was certainly not slower than other platoon leaders.

Han Dong, who was mingled in the crowd, stealthily glanced at this person.

In addition to sensing a dense evil Qi akin to a sea of blood, there was also a breath of madness similar to [Mad Laugh], which to some extent shared a slight resemblance to Han Dong himself.

“Nicholas, this guy… he’s quite formidable,”

Even the Count, upon sensing this person’s presence, spoke with a hint of ‘timidity.’

Dr. Landon didn’t bother with too many surface examinations; his method of examining these [Lost Knights] was rather direct.

Shhh~

A silver-white scalpel popped out from his fingertips, slicing down the middle of the back.

With no blood spillage, it laid bare the knights’ spines.

Then, from the tips of Dr. Landon’s fingers, a mass of blood threads extended, merging with the knights’ spinal nerves to perform a full-body check.

“Hmm?!”

There was an anomaly.

Over a dozen different types of scalpels emerged from between Dr. Landon’s palms, immediately performing laparotomy on the knights who had a dazed look in their eyes.

One after another, exceptionally hidden ‘toad larvae’ that had merged with the organs and the body were meticulously excised with the scalpel.

Even in the frontal lobe of the brain, many such eggs were discovered… Fortunately, they were blocked outside of the cerebellum by the knights’ strong will and the Talent Tree’s innate defense; otherwise, even if they were saved, they would slowly become servants of the demons.

Correspondingly,

The Lost Knights, who underwent such major surgeries and whose bodies suffered contamination, completely lost the ability to act, rendering them incapable of entering the battle.

After confirming the basic situation, Dr. Landon immediately instructed the accompanying Scarlet Doctor to join in the surgery.

The hub area instantly transformed into a large-scale surgical site.

And in the instant that all surgeries were completed, [The Pillar of No Light] descended, leading their consciousness to another peaceful and serene world without light.

It ensured that the knights believed they were still alive and happy, which slowed the physical death process, prolonging the optimal treatment period.

Once the battle was over, they would be sent back to the barracks for ‘Blood Replacement Therapy’ from Captain Shaia.

Just like that.

All the ‘hidden threats’ within the Knight Regiment were eradicated.

Now, it was time to officially commence the battle.

It was necessary to pinpoint the appropriate roads, while simultaneously launching assaults on various land deeds.

[The First Path] was dark and profound, stretching towards a canyon outside the ruins, which always gave one an unsettling feeling of being watched when looking into its depths.

[The Second Path] gave off the impression of a primitive jungle, with various green and vibrant plants growing on either side of the road.

Trunks marked with smiling faces, and the swaying branches in the wind, seemed to welcome the arrival of outsiders.

[The Third Path] led to the depths of the ruins, with the air permeated by a plague of spores, and the path overgrown with all sorts of mushrooms… Even a sika deer, with its skin covered in a mushroom colony, zipped past the onlookers.

[The Fourth Path] led to the lower levels of the ruins, with moist ground where various-patterned spotted toads hopped around.

Now, it seemed that selecting knights with corresponding attributes to head for these domains would suffice.

Is it really that simple?

One must understand that the Knight Regiment in this battle was extremely passive.

Han Dong took the opportunity to approach the passageway leading to Greenwood, which should be relatively close to the Scarlet Manor land deed… However, standing at the intersection for a long time, the land deed in his head showed little reaction.

Then, after approaching the other intersections one by one, the land deed remained unresponsive.

“Indeed, once in the territory of others, one can only become increasingly passive… Gaining the initiative is exceedingly difficult.”
