"Speaking of this, the Kingdom of Kaiyuan is really in chaos."
At this time, the bearded man spoke again, with a sigh on his face: "O'Quinn, the first King of Kaiyuan, was such a powerful being that he single-handedly oppressed the surrounding kingdoms and could not breathe, and even had to form an alliance to fight."
"Unfortunately, since the first king disappeared mysteriously, the Kingdom of Kaiyuan has plummeted. Not only has it been jointly suppressed by several surrounding kingdoms, but there has also been constant chaos within the kingdom."
"Today's new king, Dylan, is less than ten years old."
"I really don't know how he will deal with Prime Minister Edgar in the future..."
After hearing the bearded man's words, Enzo's heart moved. He suddenly raised his head and said, "The first king is missing?"
"Yeah, you don't know?"
A trace of surprise appeared on the bearded man's face, and he said, "Isn't this matter already known to everyone? O'Quinn, the first king of Kaiyuan, broke through the realm of the Sky Knight thirty years after the establishment of the kingdom. He originally planned to overthrow
He came to the mainland, but ended up disappearing mysteriously."
"To this day, his disappearance remains an unsolved mystery."
"Some people speculate that several major kingdoms joined forces to assassinate him, but others say that the first king was tired of worldly power and went to the end of the world. Some even said that after he broke through the realm of the Heavenly Knight, he was called by the gods to go to the Kingdom of God..."
The bearded man told the story carelessly.
Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of thought appeared on his face. He originally thought that O'Quinn had exhausted his life and died, but now it seems that this is not the case.
In an abandoned land with few resources, O'Quinn unexpectedly broke through to the realm of the Sky Knight.
After entering the extraordinary realm, he has become a first-level life form, and may indeed be qualified to sweep across the entire abandoned land and establish a huge empire. However, just when he was about to start showing off his fists, he suddenly disappeared mysteriously.
In the abandoned land, the history of the first king of Kaiyuan came to an abrupt end.
No one knows where O'Quinn went, and no one knows the mystery of O'Quinn's disappearance. They only know that after O'Quinn's disappearance, Kaiyuan, which had been growing in national power, began to decline.
Seventy years ago, the Kingdom of Kaiyuan was at its peak.
In the area around the Cold Plains, no kingdom was qualified to compete with Kaiyuan. Under the pressure of the extraordinary knight O'Quinn, several kingdoms even had to join forces to resist Kaiyuan's attack.
If O'Quinn hadn't suddenly disappeared, maybe he would have had a chance to unify the continent.
"Hey! This man, is this your first time going to the Cold Plains?" While Enzo was thinking, the bearded man said carelessly, "It seems like you are also a mercenary, right?"
"Going to the Cold Plains, are you planning to join the Prime Minister or the new King?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Enzo shook his head. Before going to the Cold Plains, he didn't know that there was civil strife in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan. Now that he knows, then if the new king Dylan is really the blood of O'Quinn.
Then, as the new prince's grandfather, Enzo would naturally want to help.
The strength of the All-Soul Wizard is more powerful than the gods in the wizarding world. If Enzo is willing, destroying the entire abandoned land will only cost some energy. As for the extraordinary knights who can sweep the entire abandoned land, they are nothing more than ants.
While several people were talking, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside.
"what happened?"
The bearded man felt vaguely uneasy, grabbed a machete vigilantly, opened the car door and looked outside.
"It's a gang!" The bearded man's expression changed.
The brigade's convoy has stopped and is heading into a forest. A group of several hundred gangsters is blocking the front. Several gang leaders with obvious knightly fighting abilities are constantly shouting something.
In the carriage, two women dressed as men also grabbed whips.
Enzo raised his eyebrows, feeling helpless to complain.
It has been a hundred years since I left the abandoned land, and the security here is still so poor. Why do I encounter gangs intercepting me every time I am in the wild? No one is so lucky.
"Damn, this is trouble."
The bearded man's face was gloomy and nervous. It was normal to encounter gangs in the wilderness of the Abandoned Land, but if the two parties were of similar strength, they could usually pass through safely by just paying a toll.
Now, however, this is obviously not the case.
There are hundreds of bandits blocking the road in the forest, and there are seven or eight strong knights. This force can almost rob the town, and there are only a dozen people in the brigade. Even the captain of the brigade's guard is not
knight.
In the carriage, the two bearded brothers looked serious.
Enzo noticed, however, that the two women disguised as men were not nervous. Although there was a hint of solemnity on their faces, there was no trace of fear in their eyes.
"interesting."
Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly and felt the surroundings with his spiritual power. In the two women, he actually felt a trace of extremely thin divine power. This seemed to mean that the two women were believers of gods.
However, this divine power does not come from the goddess of the night.
"Haha! You little fat sheep, just surrender and capture them!"
In front of the forest, the gang leaders laughed wildly and waved their scimitars, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
"Masters, please let us go!"
The travel group owner looked pleading and said, "We are members of the Gina family of the Silver Moon Kingdom. As long as you can let us go, the Gina family will be grateful."
After saying that, the tour group boss quickly called his men to bring two boxes of gold.
However, the gangsters did not accept this trick.
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't care about your Gina family!"
The gang leader cursed, looked at the brigade's goods, a glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes, and said with a ferocious smile: "This is not your Silver Moon Kingdom. Stop fooling me with those brain-dead nobles."
After saying that, everyone in the gang swarmed forward.
The brigade boss's expression changed and he hurriedly got under the carriage in fear. Seeing this, the brigade guard captain quickly called his men to resist, while the two bearded male brothers looked at each other and drew their swords and roared angrily.
Since the problem cannot be solved peacefully, the only option is to fight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As adventurers who have been in the wild all year round, the two bearded men know this group of gangsters very well. They are not just as simple as robbing property, they are involved in everything.
At the end, all captives will be sold as slaves.
Maybe men will have better luck and be recruited by gangs if they are strong enough. As for women, the fate is hard to describe.
The battle is about to break out.
On one side was the frightened brigade, on the other side were the wolf-like gangsters. The outcome seemed to be doomed. Enzo picked up a branch from the ground at random, with a trace of playful interest on his face.
At this time, the two women in the carriage had already rushed out.
Each of them held a long whip, which was covered with thorns. When they waved it hard, the skin and flesh of several gangsters were immediately torn apart, showing their extraordinary fighting power.
However, Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly.
The fighting power of these two women is comparable to that of knights, but their skills are very poor. It feels like they have been forcibly infused with power by the gods.
At the same time, the performance of the two women also attracted the attention of the gang.
The leader saw the strength of the two women, and immediately gave up the brigade guard captain, and called on several gangsters to start besieging the two. He kept waving his whip, but because there were too many gangsters, the two women began to be unable to resist them.
"Mother, what should we do now?"
Seeing more and more gangsters around her, a look of panic appeared on the young girl's face, and the speed of swinging the whip in her hand slowed down.
"Don't be afraid, Nicole!"
The older woman also showed a trace of fear on her face, but she pretended to be calm and said, "All the sufferings in the world are tests given to us by the goddess. As long as we have firm faith, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."
Bang bang bang!
The thorn whip kept waving, but the surrounding space became smaller and smaller. Both women were a little panicked. At this time, the bandit leader suddenly laughed ferociously, and then suddenly grabbed the whip.
"come on!"
The gang leader pulled hard, and the woman, who was a mother, immediately fell to the ground and was controlled by several gangsters.
"Haha! There is also an unexpected gain."
A hint of surprise appeared on the gangster leader's face. He saw the woman's disguise, showed a lustful smile, and said, "Now I'll have some fun."
"Mother!"
Next to her, the girl Nicole became anxious. Her flaw was exposed in her panic. The gangster took away the long whip in her hand and kicked her to the ground.
Not far away, Enzo's eyes narrowed slightly.
After this period of observation, he has been able to determine that these two women are believers of gods. On the premise of giving up their faith, they have received blessings from the gods, so they have strength beyond ordinary people.
However, that trace of divine power is too weak.
So much so that the two god believers couldn't even deal with a few gangsters, and due to their lack of combat experience, they were quickly controlled.
"This is an opportunity."
Enzo's heart moved. In order to get information about the core of Orain, he had decided to infiltrate the Church of the Night Goddess. Although the two women may not be followers of the Night Goddess, they must have some connection with the Night Goddess.
brush!
The branch was swung like a cross sword, instantly knocking a gangster away and beating him to pieces. The dark energy even invaded his internal organs, and he vomited a few streams of blood. It was obvious that he would not survive.
The gangster leader's expression changed.
The next moment, Enzo had jumped off the carriage. He did not show much strength, but could disguise himself as a knight. He kept waving his branches and eliminated all the gangster leaders in a matter of seconds.
"Great Knight!!"
Among the gangsters, someone seemed to scream. In the abandoned land, the great knight was already a top-notch combat power. He could become the lord of a city. For the knights, it was an even more difficult mountain to climb.
"Oh my god, it's actually a great knight!"
Not far away, the two bearded male brothers also showed shocked expressions. They had performed bravely in the battle just now, so they were slightly injured.
Enzo said nothing and continued to wave the branches.
In a short period of time, dozens of gangsters were killed by An Jin, but Enzo always had a calm expression on his face.
"Are you OK?"
After solving a group of gangsters, Enzo came to the girl Nicole, helped her up and spoke gently.
At the same time, the gang had dispersed.
In front of the big knight, the numerical advantage was gone. The smart gangsters all ran away like crazy. Only some fools were killed by Enzo with branches.
"Thank you, sir, for coming to the rescue."
The boss of the brigade crawled to his knees in front of Enzo, with a hint of happiness in his eyes as he said, "Thanks to you, otherwise we would have been dead."
"It's just a small matter." Enzo shook his head.
Next to her, Nicole also showed a grateful look. A hint of blush appeared on the girl's face. Because of her special belief, there was a palpitation in her heart.
"Thank you for your life-saving grace."
At this time, Nicole's mother, a woman who had taken off her disguise, also came over and said with a grateful tone.
Enzo smiled politely and looked at the two of them.
The Abandoned Land has not had a god come to it for a long time, but now, not only has the Church of the Goddess of the Night flourished, but other gods seem to exist. These two women obviously believed in certain gods and thus gained power.
However, it is not clear what their beliefs are.
But since it is a god in an abandoned land, there must be some connection with the Church of the Night Goddess. Enzo plans to use the two women as an entry point to join the Church of the Night Goddess in order to find traces of the Night Goddess.
Afterwards, the tour group owner began to clean up the scene.
The brief disturbance only lasted for more than ten minutes. Apart from the initial panic, almost no one in the brigade died. As for the gangs, there were no less than a hundred gangsters who were killed by Enzo with tree branches.
Everyone looked at me with respect.
Only a great knight could easily kill gangsters with tree branches, and Enzo, who looked so young, already had the cultivation of a great knight, was simply unbelievable to the people of the Abandoned Land.
"The sorrow of the frog in the well."
Enzo sighed in his heart. The abandoned land lacked resources and could hardly receive information from the outside. Therefore, in their eyes, the knight master was already a superior being, and the great knight was even rarer.
The Heavenly Knights are almost the guardians of a country, and the higher-level extraordinary knights are all living in legends.
The people in the abandoned land did not know that in the wider world, there was such a behemoth as the wizard civilization. Even the extraordinary knights were just slaves and consumables in the eyes of wizards.
In that original expedition to the forest world, countless extraordinary knights died.
And they are all just cannon fodder. In Fortress World, as long as they undergo systematic training, almost everyone has the qualifications to become an extraordinary knight, and there is no need for any talent restrictions.
After everything was cleared, the convoy continued on its way.
Wild beasts were rampant in the forest, and the smell of blood might bring more danger, so the brigade speeded up and passed through the forest a few hours later, arriving on a broad plain.
And here, it is not far from the Cold Plains.
Because Enzo showed his identity as a great knight, the carriage originally occupied by five people became a carriage with three people. The two bearded brothers left voluntarily, and because they were injured, they stayed in the carriage at the end of the convoy.
