The Strongest Knight

Five hundred kilometers south of the Red River Valley.

Among the nameless mountains, inside a mountain that looks no different from the surrounding mountains, dozens of figures are active inside.

They all wore black robes and their faces were different from those of ordinary humans, with pointed ears and exposed sharp teeth, but they all wore bronze badges with dragon heads carved on them on their chests.

From the outside, this mountain is inconspicuous among the other mountains, but its interior has been hollowed out by this group of figures and transformed into an extremely hidden base.

In the distance, two figures wearing bronze badges drove a team of more than a dozen people through the narrow and winding mountain road to the entrance of the base, a dark and deep upward passage.

If Gray was here, he would be able to recognize the identities of the two figures. They were Lan Luo and Hei Wen, members of the Divine Realm.

The dozen or so figures they drove away were all men, and judging from their aura, they were all lower-level knights who had condensed the soul of a knight.

Lan Luo looked at the knight apprentices in the team and swallowed.

These knight apprentices were captured and abducted by it and Heiwen using various means.

It’s a pity that this is the mission quota. In his divine state, Lan Luo is still able to restrain his own desires and prioritize completing the mission.

The knight apprentices had terrified looks on their faces. They were strung together by long, thick iron chains. They seemed to have accepted their fate and let the black lines pull on the chains, leading them into the deep and upward entrance to hell.

Not long after walking up, dim oil lamps illuminated the passage.

The road became straight, and a huge interior space appeared in the eyes of the captured knight apprentices.

"Pa pa pa!" The sound of the iron whip kept coming into my ears.

The knight apprentices were horrified to find that in the huge space before them, thousands of figures were silently doing exercises to strengthen their bodies, driven by a dozen figures wearing the same clothes as Lan Luo and the others!

Push man-sized boulders or lift heavy exercise equipment.

Thousands of figures had numb eyes, and they just kept driving their numb bodies to repeat the exercise movements.

It can be seen that they are all in their teens, very young.

From time to time, someone fell down and was then whipped by members of the Divine Realm with iron whips.

If he can wake up, it will be fine. If he cannot wake up, the members of the Divine Realm will judge that he has no talent as a knight and will open their mouths wide to swallow him without any hesitation.

"Oh my God!"

“This…this is hell!”

"I have fallen into hell!"

The numb knight apprentices finally collapsed again.

Lan Luo and Hei Wen were not surprised. This was something that every branch of the Divine Realm had to do in order to be self-sufficient - training knight apprentices.

It would be difficult to meet the self-expenses of a branch of the Divine Realm simply by capturing knight apprentices, not to mention the need to regularly send quotas to the far north.

They captured knight apprentices, most of them as food, and a small number were selected as breeding humans to mate with the large number of female humans captured in the base. The males produced were used as reserve rations and gradually trained as knights from a young age, while the females continued to be reduced to reproductive tools.

Continuing forward along the passage beside the huge space, various spaces were imprinted in the eyes of the frightened knight apprentice.

There is a space filled with only female humans.

There were babies all around them, some with more than a dozen, some with five or six.

Basically, all of them have bulging stomachs, and it is obvious that there is life growing.

There is a space filled with half-grown children who do some less strenuous physical training and are treated better than the teenagers in the outermost space.

Lan Luo led the knight apprentices to the innermost part, the deepest part of the mountain.

On a platform more than ten meters high, there sat a man with blue hair and a deep aura.

The man's body continuously emanated waves of strange aura, enveloping everyone in the audience.

On both sides of the platform are rows of 'storage rooms'.

At least hundreds of knight apprentices were imprisoned on both sides.

Black-robed men whose auras were no weaker than Lan Luo Hei Wen's, or even stronger, landed on both sides. Under the influence of the man's aura on the platform, they all had calm expressions, without any of the tyranny, cruelty, and uncontrollability that a fallen person should have.

"Lord Bluebird, mission accomplished." Arriving at this place, Lan Luo and Hei Wen did not dare to act recklessly. After putting the fifteen knight apprentices into a food storage room, they came to the platform to report.

The figure on the platform opened his eyes slightly. There was no emotion in those blue pupils, and they were so dead silent that it was scary.

"Do you want a divine reward or a food reward?" Bluebird said indifferently.

"We choose divinity!" Lan Luo and Hei Wen said without hesitation.

The messenger Blue Bird flicked his hands slightly, and several fluorescent rays fell in front of Lan Luo and Hei Wen.

Each of them will receive five strands of divinity, which is the reward for this mission.

After the reward was given, Bluebird was about to close his eyes again, but suddenly his gaze fluctuated slightly.

“To the north, in the Red River Valley, there is a new species of God with graying aura appearing. We need people to guide the new God species.” A man with blue hair and blue eyes spoke from the high platform.

As soon as the words fell, dozens of figures in the audience opened their eyes.

The task of guiding the divine species is easy and the rewards are not low, so everyone likes it.

Lan Luo hesitated for a moment, but still spoke first: "Lord Blue Bird, half a year ago we reported the discovery of a subordinate of the Eighth Divine Envoy Garcia. He is in the Red River Valley, disguised as the leader there."

"It is very likely that the newborn God has been guided into Garcia's service by him."

On the high platform, the divine messenger Blue Bird was silent for three seconds, then spoke out, "The Central Region is divided into eight blocks. The fifth block belongs to me, Blue Bird. The Red River Valley is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the seventh block to which Garcia belongs. It has nothing to do with Garcia. Garcia's hand is too long."

"If he has the ability, he can go to the Dru Kingdom and seize resources like the White Scorpion did before."

"God General Gu, you go with Lan Luo and Hei Wen and convey my intentions."

Under the stage, a skinny figure slowly stood up upon hearing this.

"Garcia seems to have a problem. He hasn't handed in his quota of supplies for several months."

"He is a talented person who can disguise himself as a leader in the human world. I will ask this general about Garcia's situation and see if I can bring him under my wing."

From beginning to end, Blue Bird's tone was very calm. After issuing the task, Blue Bird closed his eyes, as if he was entering into some kind of practice.

The other black-robed Fallen below the platform also closed their eyes.

......

"Then let's set off." Gu, a general under the command of the Blue Bird God, said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, General." Lan Luo and Hei Wen looked at each other, then followed Gu out of the base.

In the Red River Valley, on a mountain peak dozens of kilometers away from the mithril mine, Gray looked out in the distance.

"Sir, I have a doubt..." Robert, who had just exploded, opened his mouth.

"Push aside your unnecessary doubts." Gray turned around and glanced at Robert.

The latter shut his mouth obediently.
