Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Chapter 124 Third Cavalry Regiment, Charge!

Su Qing placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Otto Clair.

The moment the sword was drawn, the patterns on the blade lit up, and a warm yellow light spread from the center of the blade, instantly illuminating an area of ​​several meters around it.

The white monsters wriggling underwater seemed to sense something, and those monsters that approached the area of ​​light all swam back to avoid it.

Su Qing gripped his sword, glanced at the dense white figures in the darkness, and muttered something.

"So you're just trying to outnumber everyone, huh?"

The sword was raised, and light exploded.

Golden phantoms emerged from the light.

First, there was a horse.

The outline of the warhorse was formed from condensed golden particles, its hooves pounding the water, the splashes of water shimmering. On the horse's back, a tall human figure slowly solidified.

He wore heavy armor, a silver-white cloak, and held a long spear in his hand.

Old General.

The Grand Master of the Third Knights.

Behind him, rows of knight phantoms appeared one after another, and golden light spots converged into warhorses, spears, and banners.

The entire Third Knights were arrayed in this sunken underwater city.

The old general on horseback lowered his head and glanced at Su Qing.

"What's going on, kid Su? Trouble again so soon?"

Su Qing looked up at the old man on horseback, a smile playing on her lips.

"I've always had a lot of trouble, and there will definitely be more in the future."

Su Qing raised Otto Claire, the tip of the sword pointing at the tall building at eleven o'clock.

"We'll have to trouble the old general again this time."

The old general snorted, then grinned and pointed his spear forward.

"Su boy's troubles are my troubles."

After he finished speaking, his warhorse neighed.

Behind him, the phantoms of the entire Third Knights raised their weapons in unison.

The charge began.

A golden torrent of cavalry swept past Su Qing from behind.

The warhorses' hooves pounded the water with a dull thud, and the monsters in the front row didn't even have time to react before being pierced by spears and crushed by the horses' hooves.

The grayish-white liquid exploded on the water's surface, tearing a path through it.

The old general took the lead, sweeping his spear across the battlefield, leaving no survivors in his wake.

The moment Su Qing saw the knights charge out, she didn't hesitate at all.

"Keep up! Full speed ahead!"

Wang Yao retracted his shield and switched to a sideways cover stance.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Li Daniu ran in the middle, carrying his staff.

"The old general is awesome!"

Su Qing knew very well that the gap the Knights had created wouldn't last long. These phantoms of the Third Knights had a limited lifespan. The monsters on both sides were still frantically trying to emerge from the water, and several were attempting to intercept the flanks of the formation. However, the rear cavalry of the Knights split into two columns and precisely blocked them from entering.

The water was already up to my knees, and the resistance was getting greater and greater as I ran.

"Almost there!"

Selena ran to Su Qing's left. She raised her hand and threw a bottle forward. The bottle exploded upon landing, releasing a cloud of white mist that blocked the senses of several monsters ahead.

Taking advantage of this gap, the team rushed through the last stretch of distance.

The entrance to the high-rise building was a rusty iron gate, half-open, with large patches of seaweed hanging on the door frame.

Su Qing was the first to rush in, her feet landing on the hard ground.

It's a cement floor!

The sensation startled Su Qing, but he didn't stop. He turned around and shouted outside.

"Everyone, come in!"

Su Qing glanced around the building.

The concrete staircase has a half-floor turnaround platform between each floor, and the walls are cast in place, making it almost identical to the architectural structure of Blue Star.

This discovery stirred something in Su Qing's heart, but there were more important matters to attend to.

"Go upstairs!"

The group rushed up the stairs, their footsteps echoing in the enclosed corridor.

The water is still rising.

Every time Su Qing passed through a window, she could see the water level outside rising visibly.

When you reach the seventh floor, the stairs end, and there's a large iron door leading to the rooftop.

Without saying a word, Li Daniu smashed his staff against the lock on the iron gate, breaking the lock and pushing the iron gate open.

This is a rooftop that is quite large.

Everyone ran up to the rooftop and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qing walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

The water level has now reached about the third floor and is still rising.

Beneath the surface, a large number of white figures can be seen swimming.

They are much more agile in the water than on land, and they move extremely fast, like a school of fish weaving between buildings.

Occasionally, two or three monsters would suddenly spring out of the water and fly straight toward the rooftop.

A monster that had sprung up had barely peeked out from the edge of the rooftop when Li Daniu swung his staff at it.

Bang!

The monster was sent flying backward, tumbling several times in the air before falling back onto the water, splashing up a large spray.

"Good grief, this is like playing whack-a-mole." Wang Yao leaned against the low wall on the rooftop, watching Li Daniu take them down one by one with a stick, and his lips twitched.

Another monster shot up from the water.

Li Daniu took a step to the right and swung his staff in a wide arc.

Bang!

Another one flew away.

The third one bounced up from the other side. Li Daniu turned around, stopped using his staff, and kicked it directly.

"Damn it, keep going!"

Li Daniu wiped his sweat, complaining under his breath, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

The new crew members also joined the defense, with guards stationed in each of the four directions of the rooftop. Whenever a monster bounced up, they would immediately rush to its aid.

Su Qing did not participate in the defense of the rooftop. He stood on the rooftop, staring down at the water.

The water level is still rising.

The water level has now reached the fifth floor.

At this rate, it won't be long before the rooftop is submerged.

Once submerged, these monsters' fighting power in the water will increase dramatically, and that will be troublesome.

Selena walked over to Su Qing and glanced down as well.

"At this speed, it will take at most ten minutes."

Su Qing nodded, his mind racing as he planned their retreat.

But at this altitude, where can we retreat? We're surrounded by water on all sides.

Just as he was about to speak up and tell everyone to prepare for the worst.

"clang!"

An extremely distant and heavy chime came from the direction of the clock tower, echoing throughout the entire sunken city.

All the monsters stopped the moment the bell rang.

At the edge of the rooftop, a monster that was launching upwards got stuck in mid-air before falling straight back into the water.

The white figures beneath the water all swam in the same direction.

Stay away from this tall building, stay away from Su Qing and the others.

"clang!"

The second chime signaled the water level to begin receding.

Wang Yao lifted his faceplate, revealing a face covered in sweat.

"What happened? They withdrew?"

No one could answer him.

Li Daniu, carrying his staff, gasped for breath; his arms were covered in grayish-white liquid.

"Never mind why, just leave."

The atmosphere on the rooftop relaxed, and several new crew members sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Su Qing did not let her guard down.

His gaze passed over the vast expanse of ruined rooftops, through the dim underwater light and shadow, and landed on the distant clock tower.

The hands on the clock face are still moving.

Tick, tick.

The skeleton on the base of the clock tower has changed its posture.

It used to be sitting, facing the water.

Now, its head has turned around.

Two clusters of eerie blue flames were facing Su Qing from inside his empty eye sockets.

Then, the skeleton raised its right hand.

A skeletal finger slowly beckoned towards Su Qing.

That gesture is saying, "Come on."

Selena saw it too.

"Captain..."

""

Su Qing stared at the skeleton captain sitting under the clock tower in the distance, without responding.

The skeleton's finger hooked again.
