The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Suddenly, a rapid and intense sound of gongs and drums rang out from behind the fleet, like throwing a stone into a lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of the fleet.

And this sound conveyed the signal that the fleet was under attack and in distress.

It only took Soran a moment to react, because it reminded him of the sea monster named Nidhogg.

However, the first ones to take action were Butler Mark and Master Oliver, two powerful knights of the Pillar State.

Master Oliver was of a calm disposition, devoted to cultivation, so from the moment he boarded the ship, he had been hiding in his room, resting his eyes and practicing diligently, refusing to see outsiders and caring about external affairs.

Although Butler Mark was having fun with everyone, he did not let his guard down and remained relatively alert.

Therefore, the two powerful Pillar Knights sensed the unique aura of the super-class monster Nidhogg almost at the moment when the gongs and drums sounded.

Especially Butler Mark, he had fought with the sea monster [Nidhoggr] and beat the opponent so badly that he escaped!

So he was naturally very familiar with the aura of this sea monster!

After the two of them reacted immediately, they jumped to the highest peak of the ship in tacit understanding and looked towards the rear of the fleet.

At the end of the fleet, the sea monster [Nidhoggr] still stretched out its long, snarling tentacles from under the water, and used the suction cups on its tentacles to suck up a large transport ship. Then all the tentacles entangled with the hull, using its huge force to crush the large transport ship, causing it to creak.

The sailors on the ship were in a panic and looked around desperately. They either shouted hoarsely in fear or actively or passively fled into the sea to fight for a chance of survival.

Even the nearby sea area was stirred into chaos, with undercurrents surging.

"Mark, is this the sea monster you mentioned before?" Master Oliver subtly felt the breath of the sea monster [Nidhoggr] and asked the butler Mark next to him.

After the fleet went out to sea, Butler Mark secretly found Master Oliver once and told him about the sea monster.

The purpose is that when the fleet is attacked by the sea monster [Nidhoggr], the other side can take action to help repel or even kill the sea monster to reduce the losses of the fleet.

The reason why Master Oliver asked this now was just to confirm it.

After all, this was the first time he had seen such a super-large, super-class marine monster since he was a child!

"Yes! Senior! That's it!" Butler Mark looked at the sea monster and said calmly: "I have fought with it before, cut off several of its tentacles, and beat it so badly that it fled!"

"But from what I can see now, it should have recovered from its injuries! That's why it came here specifically to take revenge!"

"Please join us, seniors. Let's fight it together!"

Although Master Oliver and Butler Mark are equally powerful, both are powerful Knights of the Pillar State, and have both reached the entry level in their understanding of the laws of nature.

But Master Oliver is already over a hundred years old this year, more than four times older than Butler Mark who is in his forties, which means he is equivalent to Butler Mark's grandfather.

So in order to show respect, Butler Mark respectfully called the other party "Senior".

Of course, the Knight Continent is also a world where strength is respected.

The two are now almost equal in status and strength, so if Butler Mark doesn't want to, it's not impossible to call him "Old Deng".

As for this sea monster [Nidhoggr], why did Butler Mark say to repel it instead of killing it?

Because we are now in the sea, which is the home ground of the sea monster [Nidhoggr], and the opponent can dive deep and escape at any time.

So let alone killing them, it would be good enough if we could repel the enemy and prevent them from harassing the fleet.

After all, this fleet has tower ships, so its speed is not fast and it is easy for the enemy to outrun it.

"Okay!" Master Oliver didn't say much, just replied with one word indifferently.

At this time, Sauron and the others heard the noise and ran out of the ship!

They were also crowded around the railing on the second floor, looking back expectantly, wanting to see the true appearance of the sea monster [Nidhoggr].

"Countess, that sea monster is attacking the fleet!" Butler Mark suddenly came to everyone and began to report the situation.

"Well! Butler, what do we need to prepare? Or, how can we help you?" Countess Katis nodded and expressed her doubts.

Countess Katis naturally knew about this super-class monster, [Nidhoggr]

Therefore, she is now very clear that the only one she can rely on is Butler Mark, the powerful knight of the Pillar State.

As for the others, they are temporarily unreliable, including Sauron, and even Sauron himself can hardly protect himself.

Butler Mark then expressed his thoughts: "Master Oliver and I will go and repel it right away! You just need to wait obediently on the boat and don't make any noise!"

Countess Katis nodded upon hearing this.

Then Butler Mark was about to deal with the [Nidhogg], but was suddenly stopped by Soran.

Soran also put forward his own opinion: "Butler Mark, I think it would be better for you to send the two of us to the pilot boat driven by Adrien Brody first!"

Adrian Brody is the leader of the [Second Transport Fleet] appointed by Countess Katis. He now drives the fleet's pilot ship and always sails at the front of the fleet.

So it can be said that the pilot boat driven by Adrian Brody is the ship farthest from the [Nidhogg] sea monster.

Therefore, the reason why Sauron proposed this idea was not only because of this, but also because the sailing speed of the ship under his feet was indeed a bit slow!

If the [Nidhogg] sea monster is vengeful and wants to chase the fleet, this ship will definitely not escape.

Therefore, it would be better to stay away from the battle scene and get on a faster ship, and the chance of escaping would be greater.

[Note: Soran and his companions still drove this ship when they fled from the port of Ganise City. The main reason was that it was built specifically to serve the nobles' seafaring trips, so the various basic settings on the ship were also more complete and comfortable.

After all, people like Countess Katis and Prince Mercristin were all pampered and spoiled, and they certainly didn't want to be crowded in the dark and damp cabin with those sailors. 】

After thinking about it for a while, Mark Daguan understood what Soran wanted to express.

Then he looked at Countess Katis beside him and asked for her opinion.

Countess Katis also understood the meaning, so she nodded again to show her agreement.

So Butler Mark no longer hesitated, and the majestic fighting spirit gushed out from under his feet. He jumped up with the two of them, passing over the ships like a dragonfly skimming the water, and flew towards the pilot boat in the front.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the pilot boat driven by Adrian Brody.

After dropping the two off, Butler Mark did not stay and flew directly to the back of the fleet.
