Hollow Knight: Hallownest

On the long bridge, the laughter of travelers is still melodious. Laughing at one's companions is also one of the pleasures of traveling. The latter remain unannoyed and just look at the sky by themselves.

It is said that if you keep thinking about something, there will be a response. In the clouds and mist, suddenly two figures broke through their cover and appeared in his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, look what that is?"

As if he had seen something extremely new, he quickly called out to his companions to stop laughing and guided them to look up into the air.

They were not the only ones who noticed the sudden change. Almost all the insects passing by on the long bridge raised their heads, and even half of the residents of Dirtmouth did the same.

There was no way. The earthquake-like noise could hardly fail to attract their attention, especially the insects crawling around the cemetery.

One of the traveling bugs with excellent eyesight narrowed his eyes, as if trying hard to get the answer before the other bugs recognized it. However, when he saw the outline of the white shadow clearly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he rubbed them hard and looked over again, muttering:

"No way, no way, I must have seen it wrong..."

"Hey, what did you see?"

His friend obviously knew that he had the best eyesight here, so he hurried over and asked.

"There are two bugs on it..."

"Nonsense, everyone here has seen it, one is black and the other is white."

"We should all know the white one..."

"We know each other?"

The travelers looked at each other, all puzzled.

"Who?"

The insect's face was full of fear, its Adam's apple kept rolling up and down, and its breathing was so heavy that it seemed like it could hardly breathe.

He saw it. He saw that the white insect had almost no ability to fight back. It was held high up by the neck, like a prey to be slaughtered.

“Yes…Yes…”

"Who are you talking about? Are you stuttering?"

The other travelers looked anxious and kept urging them.

"Yes...it's the Knight of Orgrim!!!"

As the screams were heard, two figures in the air suddenly changed direction and flew down towards the long bridge at a rapid speed!

"Run!!!"

Someone shouted, and the insects and insect carts that were leisurely walking on the long bridge began to run in panic, rushing among the insect swarms without choosing their own way. The disaster that was like a falling meteorite had not yet arrived, but the trampling caused by the chaos had already caused many screams.

In mid-air, Orgrim had already stretched his body and put his arms in front of him to block Shadow's torrential blows.

The pure white armor he was wearing was already covered with scars, which was shocking to the eye. There were even a few fresh cracks that still made a sizzling corrosion sound. Originally, there was a bright white light on the armor surface that flickered like breathing, but at this moment it was extremely dim, as if it had lost its charm, and was no different from an ordinary armor.

Orgrim only glanced down and was filled with rage.

This armor is a symbol of responsibility, and it is also a recognition of himself by His Majesty the King. Even though it was originally used to defend against enemies, he has never let this armor look as miserable as it is today.

"The weapon in your hand is what the bone nailsmiths of this land have pursued throughout their lives. It is also what His Majesty the King expects of you. However, you not only betrayed His Majesty the King's trust, but also blasphemed the gift His Majesty gave me. You..."

"Unforgivable!"

Orgrim's eyes were wide open and bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty beast that had broken out of a cage. His reason was dominated by anger, and his muscles suddenly bulged, making his already strong body even bigger.

As one of the only two unarmed knights among the five, Orgrim already possessed excellent fighting skills. However, he later discovered that his enemies had no way of surviving a collision, and his training also tended towards the latter, so he became rusty in his boxing and kicking skills.

At this moment, he was in mid-air with nowhere to gain support, and those deadly skills from the past gradually emerged in his brain, and then issued commands to his limbs.

The sharp claws on both sides were raised like lightning, transformed into two bone saws, changing their postures and attacking towards Ying frantically. Although the speed was fast, it did not lose method. Every move was carried out according to his heart, and for a while, he was fighting back and forth with the latter.

But perhaps it was because of the anxiety brought about by anger, seeing that every attack of his was blocked by Ying, Orgrim finally lost his patience, and curled up with his arms folded again. He didn't know where the force pushed him, which turned him into a white ball and smashed towards Ying with great force.

The blow did not land on Ying, but its huge force was poured onto the bridge deck connecting the two mountains.

Boom-! ! !

The mottled long bridge, which had stood for who knows how long, suddenly broke at this moment. Under the huge force of the white ball's impact, it instantly began to collapse and fell towards Dirtmouth below.

The traveling insects that were chatting and laughing just now had already fled in fear, and disappeared in the rushing insect swarm.

Although the long bridge was gradually collapsing from the center to both sides, its unimaginable length made the insects near the center of the bridge feel cold all over. They could only watch the collapsing bridge deck that supported its own weight catch up with their steps, and finally fall down in despair.

"It's over. We are dead. We can't escape."

"Why, why me again, why me again?!"

"Aren't the knights supposed to protect us? Why are they the ones who brought disaster upon us?!!"

The wailing sounds echoed throughout the long bridge. Some insects recognized Orgrim's identity and cursed him mercilessly. Many insects looked at the gradually expanding white ball, and the image gradually overlapped with the kingdom's knight in their minds.

With the god of death's scythe at their necks, they stopped worshipping and started to curse.

"It was him. He broke the bridge. He killed us!"

"Damn Knight! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!!!"

It’s a pity that no matter how vicious the curses were, it seemed unable to change their fate. Instead, those voices soon fell into the clouds.

Because of the reaction force brought by the collision, Orgrim's confused brain cleared up for a moment, and he instantly realized how great a disaster he had caused.

But a knight is a knight after all. He will not avoid the sins he has committed, but try his best to make amends.

The dust has not settled yet, there is still room!

Orgrim no longer paid attention to the shadow behind him, and stepped on the broken pieces of the collapsed bridge and headed downwards. He spread his arms and gathered the still falling insects into his arms, trying his best to save as many people as possible.

But he was outnumbered and no matter how hard he tried to save people, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the number of people who fell off the long bridge.

Looking at the numerous insects falling like raindrops, flailing their limbs wildly, he looked anxious and guilty, and gradually, despair arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what did I do..."

At this moment, a delicate cry suddenly burst out from below, like the sound of nature, and reached his ears.

A large number of thick vines rose from the ground and suddenly turned into lotus pods, dyeing the gray below into emerald green and injecting new life into his gray heart.

"Orgrim, I'm here!"
