Two seemingly ordinary figures, with the force of thunder and wind, blocked the Rock Horn Wolf King who was only one step away from Ryan, and the other Rock Horn Wolf King who rushed towards the mercenaries at high speed.
Immediately afterwards, the two seemingly ordinary figures did not use any weapons.
Instead, like an arrow from a string, it turned directly into a phantom, directly facing the Rock Horn Wolf King in front of them.
Next, a shocking scene happened.
Boom! Boom!
Hearing only two shocking loud noises, the two surging Rock Horn Wolf Kings were without any suspense, and were sent flying by the two bare-handed figures.
The huge impact caused the two giant wolves to fly backwards, breaking several thick trees in succession, and then crashed to the ground, stirring up a burst of dust in the sky.
When the dust gradually dispersed, everyone present opened their eyes and noticed in disbelief.
The two rock-horned wolf kings, who were originally unstoppable, had their hard long horns on their heads smashed to pieces.
The two huge wolf heads were dented inwards over a large area, completely changing their shape.
It can be imagined that at the moment of impact, these two rock-horned wolf kings, who were about to enjoy a delicious meal, had completely lost their breath before they had time to scream.
"You actually managed to kill a level 3 monster that was charging with all its strength with just one strike using your bare hands?!"
After seeing this scene, the people present who had just reacted opened their mouths and fell into a state of sluggishness uncontrollably.
There is no doubt that in their world view, the strength of third-level monsters is already terrifying.
And how terrifying is the strength of a strong man who can easily knock away a third-level monster like an ant is trampled to death? This is simply beyond imagination!
The most important thing is, why does a top powerhouse of this level appear here?!
Among them, only Ryan, who survived the disaster, reacted immediately after being stunned.
He will never forget that indifferent voice, it was Lord Chensha who helped him solve his financial crisis before!
"Just now, the image of this gentleman appeared in my mind. Now he appears beside me and saved my life. I am afraid that I will not be able to fully repay this kind of kindness in this life."
Thinking of this, Ryan's body was trembling with excitement, and he looked straight in the direction of the sound.
There, a young man with a gentle face walked over slowly, surrounded by a group of servants.
Needless to say, this young man is Lei Xiao, and the two people who just took action are naturally Huzhang and Hongye.
Bonnie on the side, while feeling the joy of surviving the disaster, looked at Lei Xiao who was walking slowly, and her heart started beating wildly again for no reason.
It turns out that in the real world, there really are heroes that only appear in fairy tales and legends!
In other words, from the moment this hero appears, she will become an insignificant supporting role in this huge legend!
What an honor and honor this is for you?
Thinking of this, Bonnie's starry eyes flickered, her mind went blank for a moment, and she almost fainted with excitement.
"Boy, who are you? Do you know who I am?"
On the other side, Clifford, who also saw Lei Xiao's figure, had already lowered his eyes.
After the shock, he was surprised to find.
At some point, the many ice blades he had used on the necks of the mercenaries had been silently resolved.
However, he was not too nervous. Even if the opponent was superior in strength, what could he do?
This is their family’s territory! He is a son of a noble nobleman!
His father is the lord of a city with a large number of soldiers, and he has many strong men under his command!
The most important thing is that there is also the second prince as His Highness's backer!
Therefore, if they want to run wild on their home territory, in this eastern area of Leng Yan, I am afraid that no one can do it!
The withered old man next to him turned his cloudy eyes again and again, but in the end he still didn't speak.
Those who can kill the Rock Horn Wolf King with one blow with bare hands must be at least a fourth-level strength expert.
Even if the opponent has two strong men of this level, they probably wouldn't dare to directly oppose Master Clifford.
After all, behind this noble young master stands a city with a garrison of more than 10,000 people, enough to rival a fifth-level powerhouse!
Facing Clifford's question, Lei Xiao did not answer. Instead, he walked directly in front of Ryan and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you okay?"
"Sir, there's nothing wrong with me, but those mercenaries over there..."
Ryan nodded excitedly, but hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can touch you, and no one can touch those mercenaries."
After gently patting Ryan's shoulder, Lei Xiao nodded and signaled Ye Cang and Ju Bai to come forward for treatment, while taking his own steps again.
"Boy, can't you hear what I am saying? I am the son of the ruler here!"
Seeing Lei Xiao directly ignoring him, Clifford, who had never suffered such cold treatment before, became angry and said: "If you kneel in front of me now and admit your mistake, maybe I will let you go!"
After Clifford finished speaking, he gave a vague wink to the withered old man beside him.
The latter immediately understood, and with the help of the shield, he secretly took out a crossbow with an arrow on the string from behind, and was about to aim at Lei Xiao.
At this time, Clifford raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a sinister arc.
As long as you kill the leader and rely on your noble status to make others surrender, it is obviously not a problem.
He had succeeded in this move many times before, just like this time when he was preparing to seize the position of leader of the Broken Blade Knights.
However, just when the withered old man smiled sinisterly and just raised the crossbow in his hand.
A golden long sword had pierced him from behind, causing his withered body to freeze and become completely motionless.
The next second, the long sword was drawn out, and the bright red color splashed directly on Clifford's face, causing him to freeze on the spot for an instant.
This time, the one who took action was naturally Lian, a former divine servant.
"how so?!"
Feeling the warm and rich smell of blood on his face, Cliffor turned pale, panicked for a moment, and collapsed directly on the ground.
When had this young man, who had been under the connivance of the city lord's father since he was a child and no one dared to offend him, ever seen such a scene?
"Sir, my family has many golden dragons and some magical equipment. As long as you let me go, my father will give you whatever you want! My father is the city lord here!"
In a panic, Clifford lowered his head and said to Lei Xiao repeatedly. However, his hand holding the staff tightly did not let go, obviously still looking for opportunities.
"The father of the city lord who opens his mouth, the father of the city lord who shuts his mouth, I don't even pay attention to your father, let alone you."
After casting a glance at the other party, Lei Xiao naturally would not continue talking nonsense with this kind of useless trash, and then nodded to Lian.
Naturally, Lei Xiao would not show mercy to the guy who almost took away his future subordinate life and was planning to secretly kill him.
The next second, the long sword in Lian's hand flashed, and everything became completely quiet.
"Hongye, clean up all these corpses and don't leave any traces."
Turning around again, Lei Xiao nodded towards the dragon woman.
"As you command! Sir."
Hong Ye understood, and scorching flames immediately rose from her raised palms.
On the other side, under the powerful treatment of two fourth-level powerhouses, Ye Cang and Ju Bai.
Everyone, including the mercenary captain who had fainted just now, woke up and looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Even the heir of the highest authority in this area has not been taken seriously. The power of this young adult is a bit too scary, isn't it?!
The most important thing is that this young adult saved their lives with just one move!
Thinking of this, pairs of eyes looked at Lei Xiao who was standing calmly with awe and gratitude.
"Thank you very much for your life-saving grace!"
Excited voices rang out, and Ryan knelt down directly in front of Lei Xiao, saying sincerely: "If the adults hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the six of us would have been buried in the wolf's belly."
After a pause, Ryan's face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt again, and he asked: "By the way, sir, why are you here?"
"Of course I came here just for you."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded.
Next, after instructing Ye Cang and Ju Bai to continue treatment, Hong Ye, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue cleaned up all traces around them.
Lei Xiao took other subordinates and Ryan to a secluded place near the lake in the center of the forest.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to stand beside the rippling blue lake under the bright sunshine.
Ryan, who was wearing black armor, knelt down in front of him respectfully again and swore: "My subordinate Ryan Yangong is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
For a moment, the reflections of the commoner young man and the black-armored knight in the lake complemented each other's figures of Lei Xiao and Ryan on the shore, creating a rather epic feeling.
"Very good, just as I promised Tina and Tiya, it won't be long before the flag of the Yangong family will be raised again on the walls of Gray Rock City."
He nodded with satisfaction, holding a Lei Xiao with a shining silver metallic luster of the third level recruitment order, and began to sign a contract with the other party.
After a while, the prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the third-level nine-star bow knight Ryan Rock Bow has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao casually opened the opponent's attribute bar while helping him up.
[Skill 2: Piercing Continuous Fire "Active" (accelerates shooting speed, long-range physical single target attack)]
[Skill 3: Crossbow Mastery "Passive" (When using a crossbow, the damage will be moderately increased)]
"Archer Knight? It's a brand new type of soldier."
After closing the opponent's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully: "It just so happens that my half-elf wolf cavalry archer unit is being formed. It is currently being trained by Lin. I will ask Ryan to guide me later."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao followed the usual practice and first gave Ryan a three-piece equipment set of the fourth-level heavy longbow, the fourth-level long sword, and the fourth-level light armor.
Another invisibility cloak, 10 high-level pyroblast pill scrolls, and 300 second-level healing potions were given for daily use by the knights.
As for Ryan's original equipment, Lei Xiao has not upgraded it yet and still lets Ryan wear it on a daily basis.
After all, there is only one set. Once the appearance of the equipment changes after upgrading, it will easily attract the attention of others.
"I would like to thank you very much, Lord!"
After completing all of this, Ryan, in ecstasy, once again lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.
"No big deal."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao asked about the other party's Broken Blade Knights.
After some understanding, Lei Xiao learned.
The Broken Blade Knights are based near Gray Rock City, and the situation is not much different from that of the Blue Rose Knights.
The specific strength is a light cavalry brigade, an infantry brigade, a mixed cavalry and archer brigade, plus an elite second-order cavalry archer squadron.
As for the number of third-level powerhouses, including Ryan, there are still six. They all hold important positions in the Knights, and their loyalty is very reliable. They are basically former retainers of the Ryan family.
"About my future plans, this is..."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao described to Ryan what he had told the Tinatia sisters once before about the backstabbing of the second prince's forces.
"Lord, please rest assured, once the Gray Rock City is empty, my subordinates are very confident that they can capture the city quickly!"
Ryan looked solemn and nodded solemnly to Lei Xiao.
Speaking of this, Ryan's face showed a hint of uncontrollable excitement and excitement again, and he sighed: "Being able to take back the former fiefdom of my subordinate family is just like a dream..."
"This is just the beginning."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, took a deep breath, and relaxed his body.
At this point, the goal of conquering the two independent knights has been successfully completed.
This also means that his total military strength has once again increased to more than 6,000 people.
The backstabbing layout of the Second Prince's forces in this eastern region has been basically completed.
"Next, will only Luolong City remain?"
After pondering this point, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at the sparkling lake, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something again, and couldn't help but frown and said: "By the way, that was the youngest son of the Lord of Gray Rock City just now, right?"
Pouting his lips slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "Although we have completely eliminated all traces, will this incident arouse the vigilance of the Lord of Gray Rock City and further suspect the Broken Blade Knights?"
"Don't worry, Lord, my subordinates have already made plans regarding this matter."
On the other side, Ryan smiled slightly, bowed and responded.
