Chapter 753 Behemoth
Clearly, only Cheng Tian had deep doubts about the current situation, since only he knew what types of troops and bosses were supposed to be encountered in the original fifth, sixth, and seventh levels.

While players found it novel that the enemy's final boss chose to shrink the battle lines and concentrate its forces, they didn't really sense anything wrong with it.

As for the British Expeditionary Force, they felt even less worried. The large number of knights and servants even thought it was a good thing for them, since fewer encounters along the way would increase their chances of survival.

It is worth mentioning, however, that some of these knights who accompanied the expedition secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with Arthur, and the reason was the "military discipline" of the Knights of the Round Table, which was far superior to that of other legions.

Arthur upheld chivalrous virtues and extended them to the Knights of the Round Table, to the point that his servants could not profit by plundering the Roman people.

The Romans have invaded our homeland, committing atrocities of burning, killing, looting, and plundering. Why can't we treat their people the same way?!

This is what these servants find most unacceptable.

Arthur offered no explanation for the discontent that reached his ears through various means, and simply led the way onward.

The deeper they went, the more confused Cheng Tian became. He desperately wanted to know what exactly was dark about the "Dark Ages" mentioned in the dungeon description. However, even after the expedition team arrived at the outer edge of the Golden Fortress area, Cheng Tian did not see anything dark.

Oh, if I had to pick the worst thing that's happened to me so far, it would probably be not having any toilet paper to wipe my butt...

Okay, just kidding. Actually, the space isn't stingy in this regard. If players have any hard needs like toilet paper or sanitary napkins during long-term missions, the space can provide them directly as long as they apply outside of combat, without needing to prepare in advance.

We can't expect players who fight tooth and nail in various dungeons to have to worry about such trivial matters, can we?
There's absolutely no need for that.

The British expedition, having traveled a long and arduous journey but encountered almost no battles, did not rashly attack the Golden Fortress.

Although it is also called a fortress, it is significantly larger than the Silver Fortress and can be considered a city-state.

The city-state was surrounded by sturdy walls, and inside there was a strong sense of daily life. From an aerial view, one could see a large number of low-rise houses of different sizes lined up among them. In addition to a large number of Roman soldiers, there were also a considerable number of people walking back and forth in the streets.

However, the atmosphere is far from normal, suggesting that we have likely entered a state of war.

The real golden fortress castle is located in the very center of the entire city-state.

The problem facing the British Expeditionary Force now is undoubtedly the siege. With the supplies that have been transported smoothly and the large number of knights and servants who can find some wood and other materials on the spot, it is not impossible to make siege equipment. However, this would not only waste time, but there is also a high probability that they will face an attack from the Golden Legion.

After all, all the troops that should have been encountered along the way had gathered at the Golden Fortress, and there was no reason for Grand Duke Garibaldi to just watch the British expeditionary force cause trouble there.

For Britain, there was no turning back at this point; the Golden Prince had to be surrendered!

The Sun Legion, which had a cooperative relationship but was actually independent of the Knights of the Round Table and did not need to obey Arthur's orders, actually had a relatively pleasant journey.

The players initially thought they would encounter intense battles, but it turned out to be a simple medieval simulator. Along the way, they witnessed the scenery of the Middle Ages and experienced the medieval way of life firsthand.

Thanks to their status as members of the Sun Legion, they were granted the equivalent of knights, not only having wild knight servants vying to serve them, but also enjoying a luxurious diet of "refined" dishes such as white bread, turkey legs, vegetable salads, and fruit platters, instead of having to eat sawdust bread so hard it could be used as a hammer with chickpea soup like their servants. However, the players did not let their guard down. In a sense, the player community was the one who best understood the adages of "you get what you pay for" and "there's no such thing as a free lunch."

The more favorable the weather in the early stages, the greater the chance that it will turn into a storm later on.

As long as the final boss isn't killed and the results screen doesn't pop up, anything is possible.

"Something's wrong, something very wrong."

Cheng, who had stopped acting, simply hovered in mid-air on his pterosaur, stroking his chin and muttering to himself.

Like other more experienced players, he also felt something unusual about the smooth sailing in the early stages, and it wasn't just neurotic; it had escalated to a dangerous warning brought about by high mental strength.

As Cheng Tian got closer to the Golden Fortress, he could feel his mental scan being suppressed by some external force, especially when it spread into the Golden Fortress, the resistance felt by his Taiji Heavenly Eye became more and more obvious.

Cheng Tian was actually somewhat prepared for this, because unlike Prince Allen, who was essentially a pure warrior, Grand Duke Garibaldi was a powerful magic warrior!

He not only possesses a powerful physique capable of wielding super-heavy golden armor, but also wields extremely powerful destructive magic, making him the undisputed strongest boss in the Knights of the Round Table dungeon.

Therefore, this Grand Duke Garibaldi might also be able to use large-scale shielding scanning barriers or something similar.

Suddenly, Cheng Tian shuddered and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

It is dusk, and the sun is slowly setting towards the horizon. At this time, the sun appears particularly round and large, yet it is not as dazzling as it is in broad daylight, allowing one to look directly at its outline.

Strangely, when Cheng Tian looked at the sun, which was originally perfectly round, a faint black gap appeared in its lower right corner, which gradually spread to the entire sun over time.

"eclipse……"

Looking at the sun, whose center had been "swallowed" by blackness, leaving only its glowing edges, Cheng Tian suddenly had an almost tangible sense of foreboding.

Meanwhile, at the highest point of the main city of the Golden Fortress, Grand Duke Garibaldi, clad in incredibly heavy golden "power armor," was staring intently at what he held in his hands.

It was a strange red, egg-shaped object with a lifelike nose, eyes, and mouth carved on it, except that all the facial features were scattered in an unusual way.

As the solar eclipse occurred, these scattered facial features miraculously rearranged themselves into a grotesque human face, with blood-red tears slowly streaming from its eyes.

Grand Duke Garibaldi, his eyes locked with the grotesque human figure in his hand, slowly uttered four words.

“Be... Black... Light…”
