The points collection in the first stage is mainly to test the [strength] of individual knights and each team.

A knight who can complete high-intensity tasks in a short period of time, or a knight who can perform outstandingly in various industries, will pass the assessment of the "Basic Requirements of the Expeditionary Force" and enter the next stage of assessment.

The second stage - [Will and Courage]

Compared with the previous stage of evaluation.

The second stage is more important, and is an important assessment that determines whether an individual can face the Great Expedition directly.

The Great Crusade may last for years, or even decades.

It was the first time for the Knights to move forward in "Eternal Night" for such a long time, and the first time in human history.

Every breath,

Take every step forward,

Every time you eat,

All will increase the risk of individual degeneration.

Even if those with weak will have strong strength, they will be excluded from the ranks of the expeditionary army.

Therefore, the corresponding test in the second phase will be a super high-intensity "stress test"... The Holy City senior management has been discussing how to implement it.

Dozens of solutions were rejected due to insufficient intensity, high risk and time issues.

The final test plan was finalized three days ago.

The test site for [Will and Courage] is set to be below the Hades ladder, and is directly managed by the Knights of Hell and the Knights of Death, which is called Tartarus Prison.

Dangerous places that are prohibited from being disclosed to the public in the Holy City.

In the National Royal Knights Academy, all records of Tar Prison were erased, and the name of the prison was mentioned in some classics.

Taal Prison is not something that ordinary people can enter if they want. Even if an ordinary person commits a serious crime in a civilian area, he will only wait for three ways - exile outside the city, lifelong labor or timely death penalty.

Only individuals who reach the level of knight have the right to be detained in Tar Prison.

Totally betray the chivalrous spirit.

The knight who abandons, betrays, and traits his companions and falls into depravity will be imprisoned.

At the same time, some knights who were irreversibly polluted had completely degenerated their minds, and even the fallen knights who had "human loss" in their body but did not exceed the limit will be locked in.

The purpose of setting the Tar Prison is no longer mercy, and no longer one day these knights can regain the spirit of the knights and return to the Knights.

They were permanently removed from the moment they entered the prison and no longer enjoy all rights of citizens of the Holy City.

But... this group of people can still become the special combat power of the Holy City in a special situation or at a certain moment.

For example, the upcoming Great Crusade.

A few months ago, the Parliamentary Judicial Department decided to jointly manage the Supreme Prison Management Headquarters ([Knights of Hell-Demon Creation] and the [Knights of the End-Styx Dead] department), and jointly manage the Steam Knights, a special force added - "Brain-Recovery Dead Soldier".

The basic personnel of this special forces are the Fallen Knights from Tal Prison.

The same is true. At present, many empty spaces are vacant in Tal Prison, which just allows the test of [Will and Courage] to be carried out here.

...

First day of testing.

Knights who require points of more than 60 points will be gathered in the "Darcissus Square" in the dungeon.

Even without Han Dong's thigh, all the team members met the standards within two months... The five people made an appointment to come to this super giant square surrounded by magma.

Such a square gathering reminds Han Dong of the first space of destiny he participated in when he first arrived in the Holy City.

"Wow, there should be thousands of knights?"

Apart from the Knights Conference, Wen Li has never seen such a grand occasion.

Abel, who had been hiding in the Knights for many years, immediately explained to the team: "The only ordinary knights gathered here.

Like the Knight Wino who was working on the investigation mission with us last time, since he was affiliated with the [Combat Sisters] department, he did not need to participate in this assessment and directly participated in the Great Crusade.

Special departments, elite knights, soldiers with commanders and above are not required to participate.

They have rich experience in expeditions and their own ability to withstand pressure is far beyond that of ordinary knights.

But... I didn't expect that Nicholas, you actually want to participate."

As Abel looked at Han Dong, his furry little ears swayed slightly.

After all, Han Dong has been certified as a "pollution-free constitution" similar to Captain Hugo.

Han Dong whispered: "Maybe because I am still a new knight, or maybe this test is not just a test of pollution and stress, but there are probably some more special situations."

The assessment time is up.

Rumble... A giant demon's head rose in the center of the square, and the sharp-toned mouth completely opened corresponded to the only passage to Tal Prison.

ti-ta~ti-ta~

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves came.

Hot black iron armor with demonic patterns.

The special forces of the Knights of the Hell, the Demon Creation Team surrounded the outer edge of the square.

He took off his helmet, exposed his terrifying face with "devil horns", lowered his head, and waited for the arrival of a big man.

The king comes in person.

The square area where the knights stood immediately turned into a scorched earth of hell... Among the gatherings, the people affiliated with the Knights of Hell knelt down immediately, including Wen Li, the little sister.

Han Dong also knelt on one knee at the first time, insisting on the highest respect to Captain Ma Long.

"Captain Ma Long... seems to be stronger again? This pressure made my head hurt a little."

The Ashes Crown is ten centimeters above the head and rotates on its own.

Commander Ma Long came in person to read out the rules for the assessment of [Will and Courage].

It was not an inspiring speech, and Ma Long did not have the eloquence of Captain Roland, and he sighed at the beginning.

“Oh… it’s really troublesome.

Since you knights can stand here, it means that you have enough skills. I am too lazy to say more nonsense.

The following assessment intensity is approximately equal to the stress intensity of an individual staying in the territory of the old king, and the individual's safety cannot be guaranteed.

Just say it directly, you may completely degenerate in the assessment and become the "permanent residents" of "Tal Prison" without trial.

Although you all want to sacrifice your life for the Holy City, you must have self-knowledge.

I will give you five minutes to consider.

Five minutes later, the Knights who continue to stay in the square will perform "cell allocation."

The pressure of the Hell Monarch carried by Captain Ma Long himself, coupled with this almost intimidating notice, made some knights' determination shake.

Wen Li and Mia in the "Crow's Word" team also flashed a hint of timidity in their eyes.

After all... Once you really fall into prison during the assessment, you will be imprisoned, the knight's way you pursue will completely collapse and everything will end.

Just then.

A laughter sounded in the heads of both of them, and a palm rested on their shoulders.

"It's okay, Captain Ma Long has this kind of personality... If both of you can't stand it, there may be some knights here who can't hold on.
Chapter completed!
