Hollow Knight: Hallownest

When Dageno appeared in the sight of all the guards, that statement naturally became an outrageous statement.

Even though they knew that their companions were most likely in danger if they did not return, they would never allow an intruder to openly insult their honor as guards in the training ground.

"You dare to break into the palace and speak nonsense like that? Die!"

The guards who were closer exchanged glances, then attacked in tacit understanding.

They were similar to many of the guards here, practicing with their teammates day and night. Their coordination was not perfect but well-organized. They did not need to speak actively, and one attack would be followed closely by the next.

However, their fate was the same as those guards outside the palace. At the first sight, Dageno took out their hearts and crushed them into a bloody mist.

thump--

Three orderly sounds of falling to the ground seemed to play the chapter of hell again, but this time Dageno was not in a hurry. After looking around, he still stood there, like a towering and insurmountable mountain blocking the exit of the training ground.

Seeing their colleagues turned into three cold corpses lying on the ground, the other guards, no matter how calm they had been in the past, gradually became furious. Some of them were so angry that they ran forward.

"stop!"

Ida was about to open his mouth to dissuade those impulsive guards, but he didn't expect Youchong to drink it out before him.

The resounding voice hit the hearts of the guards as they rushed forward like a hammer, causing them to stop in their tracks and look back.

Guards are different from ordinary warriors. It would be difficult for them to reach their current position without pride. Therefore, although they usually get along with each other as colleagues, they will inevitably compare with each other in private and wrestle with each other in the progress of martial arts. Therefore, there are winners and losers in confrontational training, which leads to the fact that most guards are unwilling to submit to each other.

Of course, there are three exceptions among them. They not only stood out in the guard selection competition, but also stood out among the guards.

Needless to say, Ida was not very strong when he first entered the palace, but he soon showed his potential under Delia's training and was far ahead of the other guards. Then there was Zeruo, who had been the commander for quite some time. Needless to say, his strength was also very strong. It was he who spoke up and stopped the guards from committing suicide.

As for the last one, it was naturally Noais, who had met Ida once before. As the most veteran commander, her position had never been shaken by any guard. With just her melodious singing voice and ghostly attack methods, she could overwhelm every guard. Those who had practiced with her had doubted themselves.

"How did I lose?"

Back to the point, although Noais is very powerful, he has almost lost his combat capability due to the container plan, so he has long left the guard team. Now the strongest members of the team are only Ida and Zeruo.

"All of you retreat, immediately!"

"But......"

"immediately!"

The guard in front glanced at Dageno, then turned back to meet Zeruo's stern gaze, clenched his fists and cursed inwardly, then stood back in the guards' line unwillingly.

They were dissatisfied with Zeruo's words, but they were more regretful about their own lack of strength. The feeling of being powerless in the face of a powerful enemy really made them uncomfortable.

During the brief moment when they were in a trance, Ida had appeared beside Zeruo without him noticing, and said in a deep voice:

"He is very strong, stronger than any enemy I have ever seen!"

"Is it......"

Zeruo's eyes remained on Dageno, never moving away for a moment.

Even without Ida's reminder, he could feel Geno's power. It was an aura that belonged only to the strongest. Even after a long period of time, it would not decay like wood, but turn into stone ore, with a restrained glow.

The reason why he could feel this before they even fought was because this aura was too similar to that of someone he knew, making it difficult for him to ignore it.

It's hard to match.

"You go and tell the knight, I will try my best to hold him back."

Ida shook his head and said with an unpleasant expression: "I've been there, the knights are not here, it seems they have been out for a while."

"What about Bai Shi? Have you contacted him?"

"no reply."

Zeruo sighed softly, looked at Dageno in the distance, and said softly: "Run away."

"what?"

Ida was stunned, thinking that he might have misheard.

"I say, run away, take your brothers and run away as fast as you can..."

"Run as far as you can."

Zeruo's face was calm, but his eyes were full of fear. Even though he had not seen what had just happened, he had a rough guess about Dageno's strength, which also came from his acquaintance, Marcos.

Looking back on their acquaintance, the first meeting between the two different camps must have been accompanied by a fierce battle.

To be honest, the word "fierce" is only a one-way description of myself. For Marcos, that battle was just a small fight. If he had not fought desperately and happened to let the other party find that they shared the same ideals as him, he would not be standing here now. He would have been blown away by the wind long ago.

Ida heard it clearly this time, but did not take any action at the first moment.

He was just like those guards. Even though they usually just interacted as colleagues, they had some feelings for each other over time, and he couldn't bear to leave like this.

He also wanted revenge for the dead guards.

"Guards, listen up! - Evacuate!"

The guards' expressions were all shaken when they heard this, and they were filled with anger and indignation.

"What?! You want us to evacuate?!"

"What about our dead compatriots? What about the palace? Are we just going to leave them there?!"

"Yeah! Are we just going to let that guy leave unharmed?!"

The guards were outraged and protested against Ida's decision. Even though the members of his original team remained silent, the fact that they did not move said something.

So Zeruo repeated the order. Similarly, even though the number of silent people increased, the main force still did not want to move.

You just told them to retreat, and now you let them escape?

Are you kidding me? !

Dageno showed displeasure. As a general, what he hated most was a team without any discipline. No matter whether the decision was right or wrong, as a soldier it was enough for him to execute it. If everyone wanted to say something, how could that be?

So he spread out his palm, and the void matter that emerged from his palm turned into a slender bone nail, and at the same time carved enchanting patterns on the nail.

He casually swung the bone nail forward, and in an instant, a strong wind like a black curtain rushed towards the guards like a murderous ghost.

Ida and Zeruo were both startled and quickly reminded the guards to get out of the way, but some of them were still too late to react, or were so angry that they placed the bone nails across their chests to block.

Thus, a circle of blood was neatly wrapped around their chests.

Dageno retracted the bone nail with an indifferent look in his eyes.

This nail regulates military discipline!
