Crimson Servant

The reunion of the Daystar squad added a lot of energy to the camp. Following Galahad's suggestion, they chose a clean area in the ruins to light a campfire. After several flashes, the Rider brought back the supplies that had been abandoned by the adventurers.

When preparing dinner, the adventurers were surprised to find that the best cooks here were Barnes and Crowe. The two newly joined ladies did not master cooking-related skills. The eldest lady of the Adelac family had never cooked before. Vivian, who had regained her passion, had a strong interest in this work, but the sharp-eyed John saw that She only has interests. The other three men's food requirements were barely enough to keep them full, and their ability to survive in the wild was comparable to this level.

The two shouting chefs got into an argument over the limited amount of seasonings. Amidst the wafting fragrance, Vivian's eyes were often fixed on Galahad, which even made her Pixion friend a little concerned.

"Is that really your inversion?" The warlock who was cleaning up his memory heard Vivian's voice. He opened his eyes and saw Vivian sitting unceremoniously next to him, pointing through the flames to Galahad on the other side who was close to Bella.

John realized that this was the first meeting between Vivian and Galahad. After she was kidnapped by Gawain at Lake Avenro, Galahad joined the group of adventurers. Being together for a period of time has made others accustomed to the face of Glorious John, but for Vivian, it may still take time to adapt.

John turned his head and saw Raven and his female companion on the other side. The soldier who was originally helping to add firewood had become calm because Morena's head was leaning on his shoulder. He had lost the ability to move the left half of his body as if he was paralyzed. His right hand mechanically added dry wood sticks, and his expression changed. Like a demented child.

Upon seeing this, the warlock let go of his legs that were sitting cross-legged, placed his palms behind his back, and leaned his body away from Vivian, ready to stand up at any time. He did not forget to answer.

John laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe, I know, it's a bit strange to see a knight as sunny as Galahad holding my face."

This answer did not satisfy Vivian, as her raised eyebrows and frequent shaking of her toes showed.

"That's not the face I'm talking about."

what is that? Inside? John couldn't help but laugh at the thought that came to his mind.

"Then what are you talking about?"

Vivian said: "Smell, I don't like his smell."

The warlock didn't expect the vampire to give such an illogical answer. He looked at Galahad and thought about the reason why Vivian was so sure.

"Maybe it's because of blood-sucking, Vivian."

Vivian remained silent.

"You sucked my blood, and the power of crimson has had a certain impact on your senses. After all, I am different from him. Maybe the power of the Corruptor made you hostile to my inversion."

Vivian didn't answer. When the warlock turned her head, she saw the vampire observing her slender fingernails. On her pale, frosty skin, her sharp nails turned from pure white to deep red.

John could feel a trace of crimson power. The vampire was transforming into his own kind little by little. The crimson ritual performed by the mind flayer had a catalytic effect on her corruption.

"I have a feeling that I should bite him and taste the blood." Vivian said coldly.

John reminded her, "Bella will fight you tooth and nail."

Vivian repeated, "So it's just a feeling."

The delicious meal cooked by the captain temporarily brought everyone back from their chaotic thoughts. They sat around the fire, enjoying the warmth brought by their companions and the flame while their lips and tongues were satisfied. Except for Arlington, who was kicked out of the dinner circle because of the high temperature and pungent smell.

After eating, John stopped a few people who were about to rest and discussed the battle after leaving the ruins.

They have penetrated deep into the ruins and defeated the blocking mind flayers. Now they are not far from the tower of Morgan in the royal city. The Knights of the Round Table and their queen are now the last enemies standing in the way of the Morning Star team.

"Ms. Morena, the Chamber of Tranquility will be a relatively safe stronghold. According to Galahad, the remnants of divine power there can resist Morgan's charm on the Knights of the Round Table. Morgan will definitely not allow the Knights of the Round Table to approach the Chamber of Tranquility. So our safety can be guaranteed there. Leaving the Quiet Room and entering the inner city is where the battle begins."

Morena nodded in response. She had no objection to John's arrangement. "I have not experienced combat training. It is the most appropriate way to let you get rid of a non-combat burden like me. However, I have learned marching strategies in my family." , I hope Mr. John can allow me to provide some help in tactics."

"No problem." Using retreat to gain the power to participate in the plan, John took a few more glances at this smart woman to see what she was trying to do. John moved his eyes and noticed Raven with a calm expression. Are you worried that I will arrange for soldiers to step into the trap? John twitched the corners of his mouth.

The Warlock signaled Galahad, who knew more about the strength of the Knights of the Round Table, to stand up and introduce the situation. The former Knight of the Round Table did not refuse.

"Our enemies include the six knight lords under Queen Morgan, namely the Doom Knight Gawain, the Forbidden Knight Aguen, the Balance Knight Bose, the Transformation Knight Tristan, the Worship Knight Percival and the Eternal Knight Gareth. And more than 150 knights of the round table with strong martial arts."

"The Forbidden Knight Ag's rules can incapacitate the person who resists him, restricting the body and senses, but not including vision and mana."

"Balance Knight Boss will strengthen his personal combat effectiveness based on the number of enemies, but his abilities will deteriorate when his own side is at an advantage."

"Tristan, the Knight of Transformations, will deflect attacks against him personally, and he often joins forces with Bowes."

"Worship Knight Percival can enhance the combat effectiveness of other Knights of the Round Table and enhance their ability to command and dispatch."

"The Eternal Knight Gareth can prevent surrounding friendly forces from feeling tired."

"And Gawain, I don't think I need to introduce Gawain. The Doomsday Knight's ability is pure destructive power."

Vivian also complements Queen Morgan's abilities, vanity, extreme charm and dominance over her subordinates.

The Morning Star team couldn't help but feel a headache after learning about the Lord Knight's abilities. They realized that the gap between the enemy and ourselves was too great, and fighting against the group army was undoubtedly an impulsive approach.

At this time Galahad also proposed his plan.

"All the Knights of the Round Table and several knight lords are prohibited from entering Queen Morgan's tower without authorization. If we can sneak into the tower, the opponents we need to face will be reduced to Queen Morgan herself."

"And Gawain, he is the knight lord closest to the queen on standby."

Vivian expressed to John her determination to fight Morgan. She couldn't wait to show Morgan the sword skills she had perfected from Merlin, and was ready to use the Sword in the Lake to avenge her shame.

His status as a foreigner almost offset Morgan's ability to blaspheme prayers. In a purely martial arts competition, John did not feel that his companion would lose.

"Then Gawain is left..."

The warlock couldn't help but think of the confrontation with the Doomsday Knight at Lake Avenro. The power of the Sun Blasphemer made John decide to take action himself.

"I have a proposal, Mr. John."

John was about to speak when he heard Morena's voice.

"You can give the knight Gawain to Raven."
