Chapter 850: Chapter 850 Supplementary Treaty

Toad oil candlelight illuminated the hall.

The various gems embedded in the head of the Ancestor Toad Statue actively directed reflections of the candlelight, casting the image of a “toad-shaped woman” in the center of the hall.

1. A spotted toad crouched on the woman’s head, breathing out a cold, poisonous gas with every breath.

2. Her damp, curled hair fell in front of her face, covering more than 90% of it, revealing only a vague outline of a melon-seeded face with a hint of allure.

3. Her graceful body was wrapped in a light, translucent silk dress that fluttered and shimmered with the candlelight.

4. Her lower body was immersed in the water of the pond (the pond and its ripples were also formed through the reflection of gems).

A voice imitating human speech came from all around the Toad Palace, “Human knights who have come from afar, I salute your courage in journeying to the Toad Palace.

I am the mistress of the Toad Palace, Maritzis, and am pleased to meet you here… It seems that there are some very special knights among you.”

The pale yellow eyeballs hidden in the hair moved quickly, seeking out knights with unique auras.

“I am very opposed to conducting what is called war in a brutish and chaotic manner.

For you who have come from afar, I have specially set up a rather interesting ‘war mode’… Here, I will sign with you a ‘Battle Book-Additional Treaty.'”

With that,

A piece of parchment fell from the mouth of the Ancestor Toad Statue, an addendum to the Battle Book.

At the same time, a total of 32 stone doors opened around the walls, each leading to a different area of the Toad Palace.

Supplementary Treaty:

“The war to be conducted in the Deed-Toad Palace will be further restricted, with battles divided into thirty-two different areas.

1. Ensure that the strength disparity of demons in different areas does not exceed 10% (strength indices evaluated by World Rule).

2. Squads victorious in various areas can use the ‘Shortcut’ to move to the nearest battle zone.

3. The battle ends when one side’s forces are annihilated.”

“Of course, you also have the right to choose not to sign the Additional Treaty and to damage my palace in the most barbaric way.

As the Lord here, I naturally have to kindly remind you,

Should you recklessly destroy the palace and awaken certain beings, I will not be responsible.

Once you sign the Additional Treaty, you will also be protected by the ‘World Rule’… Everything will proceed in a ‘fair and just’ manner, and thirty-two paths to different minor battle zones within the Toad Palace will open simultaneously.”

The light reflection ended.

The toad woman’s projection disappeared.

The decision was passed to Dark Eye. Macefield.

These toad variants are sly by nature, as can be seen by the various traps laid out in the wetlands.

Currently, the Lord has set a battle method similar to a game format.

He intends to further divide the knights into thirty-two squads, sending them into different areas for small-scale battles to conclude the war.

What needs to be clarified is,

What is the purpose of the opponent adding a temporary treaty?

Is he intending to divide the Knight Regiment and lead the different squads into trap areas throughout the Toad Palace?

Or is he trying to use the division of squads to target someone individually?

“The probability of traps is high.

However, if we do not accept such a treaty, we will also be confined here… We can only proceed to different areas of the Toad Palace by forceful destruction.

This is demon territory, and forceful destruction is also very likely to trigger traps and some unknown hazards.

Without enough clues, I can’t make a judgement… Since that’s the case, let’s decide whether to accept the temporary treaty by voting.”

The cold, damp air in the Toad Palace was constantly weakening the knights’ condition.

The voting process ended quickly.

There were a total of 302 people in the Knight Regiment headed to the Toad Palace… Of these, 180 agreed to proceed to different areas as small squads according to the ‘Additional Treaty’.

A total of 32 battle zones meant that each team would consist of about 8-10 people.

The squad distribution also aimed to be as “balanced in strength” as possible.

Besides himself being a “Second Order Knight,”

the other three members were all “First Order Knights,” considered to be the weakest team… Meanwhile, Abe was a candidate leader of the Behemoth Knight Group, and Han Dong was also a council candidate; these important young knights must not encounter any mishaps.

According to the method of “balanced in strength,”

Dark Eye. Macefield planned to form a joint squad with a few elite assassins, together with Han Dong and the others.

Just then, Han Dong, with a deadpan expression, raised a suggestion.

“Platoon Leader Macefield, there’s actually no need for ‘balanced in strength’… This supplementary rule here is different from the overall battle rules.

The supplement treaty mentioned a point—teams that achieve victory in a certain area can immediately provide support to another team in a different area through the ‘Quick Passage.’

I suggest that you, Platoon Leader Macefield, take a few elite knights who can quickly execute enemies.

Sweep the target area swiftly, then use the ‘Quick Passage’ to aid other teams.

Expand our advantage in a manner similar to a ‘snowball effect.'”

The one-eyed, limping Dark Eye stared at Han Dong, “The plan is feasible, but you… may die.”

“Just team up Knight Meridis with us, as long as we can hold out until your support arrives, that would count as victory… Distribution by average always feels like falling into the opponent’s trap.”

Although Han Dong made sense, in terms of individual value,

Han Dong and Abe were considered crucial pillars of the Holy City; Dark Eye would bear a heavy responsibility if they perished here.

At this moment, Dark Eye. Macefield suddenly utilized a power.

He shifted his eyepatch slightly, revealing the ‘Dark Eye’ hidden inside—a dark, desiccated eyeball tortured with curses and full of cracks, possessing a curse power from the Fate Space.

‘Assassin’s Curse Eye’—For targets whose ‘level’ is equal to or lower than the host, it can perceive the opponent’s ‘weakness,’ and all subsequent attacks automatically target that weakness. (Higher-level targets require a certain period for locking on.)

When Dark Eye opened,

the weaknesses of the majority of the knights in the hall were clearly seen.

Only Han Dong, who was looked directly at, did not reveal any weaknesses, or rather, Dark Eye was unable to see through… The only special points visible were only two:

The slightly rotating Black Vortex Trunk,

and the mysterious head shrouded in haze,

“It’s possible…”

Dark Eye smirked to himself and accepted Han Dong’s suggestion.

Separating a powerful squad indeed seemed more fitting for the Toad Palace’s rules.

It was also because of Han Dong’s proposal.

A poet with brown curly hair dressed in light blue and green, Bard. Meridis, approached with his unique lute on his back.

Meridis was also a very special knight.

He seemed to get along with many people in the Expeditionary Army, but didn’t belong to any squad, acting independently… He recited poetry among different knight groups, told interesting stories, or sang pleasant tunes.

As Meridis arrived,

a knight draped in bear skin, broad in stature with primitive tribal patterns painted on his face, joined him.

In his hand, he held a battle axe crackling with lightning, while some ancient small totems hung from the leather around his waist.

“Teacher Asamo.”

“Abe, I must take good care of your safety… If anything happens to you, the captain would probably kill me with one slap.”

The newcomer was Asamo Thunder Caller, a member of the Shaman faction in the Behemoth Knight Group, who was one of Abe’s real combat training instructors.

As for Asamo’s teammates, they did not follow, simply because as older knights they all had undergone real combat exercises with Abe… In these wild knights’ eyes, Abe was not a newcomer.

But a Beast that they were somewhat wary of when it went berserk.

As for Nicholas, even stronger than Abe, the victor of the Knightly Conclave, a Dual Cultivation Breaking the Breed akin to the Great Plague Chief, his strength naturally speaks for itself.

The keen senses of a Beast allowed this Asamo knight to sense a feeling of Danger from Nicholas.

Together with this enigmatic Bard, the team’s strength was not to be underestimed.
