"Even if I wanted to completely cut off this thick wooden shield covered with iron, I would have to be in good health. Only then would it be possible..." the baron said with a solemn expression.
"Then what should we do now?" Angelet's expression also changed. Although he can barely be regarded as a peak knight now, he is still far away from the baron in his heyday. Now that he encounters this situation, he feels troubled.
"The round owl and the giant axe, this is the coat of arms of Viscount Candia." The Baron said solemnly, "There can't be any knights around who can cut off this wooden shield. It's probably Saladin's people.
The sex is quite big. Let’s go over and take a look first.”
Angelet nodded. Although he was only a fourteen-year-old boy, he and the Baron were the only ones in the entire team right now. Naturally, age was simply ignored.
After the two of them ordered everyone to be alert, they walked straight towards the wooden shield.
As the distance approached, a corpse covered in black armor fell to the ground. His armor was also engraved with the emblem of an owl and a giant axe.
"It seems to be Ruel..." The baron's face became more and more gloomy. Ruel was the strongest knight-level warrior under Viscount Candia. He strode over, gently opened the body with his feet, and let it turn over.
Got a body.
Amidst the sound of the metal collision of the armor, the corpse turned over. A group of big-headed flies were buzzing away, and the strong smell of blood and corpse smell suddenly filled the air. The corpse's face was pale, with a crack as wide as a thumb, vertically.
Its head is split into two halves.
Angele endured the nausea and stench and took a closer look. This was originally a very burly man, slightly shorter than the Otis knight, but fatter. The crack on his head could even be clearly seen inside.
There were white brain flowers. The grass under the body was stained with dark red blood, and large groups of flies and insects were crawling around on it.
The baron looked through the body carefully. He didn't mind the stench at all. "He was killed head-on." A few minutes later, the baron said in a deep voice. "The opponent should be Ruel who was killed within two confrontations.
"To be able to kill a person who is about to reach the peak of knighthood in such a short period of time must be at the level of a great knight." The baron's face became even more ugly.
"Great Knight?" Angelet asked doubtfully. "Father, what is the level of a Great Knight?"
"To the extent that I can easily kill you and me without getting hurt." The Baron said in a low voice. "I saw the Grand Knight many years ago during the Battle of Purple Flower. I didn't expect Saladin to actually send the Grand Knight as the vanguard this time.
..”
Angelet's expression also changed. "Then what do we do now...?" Angelet didn't finish his words. He was immediately stopped by the baron with his hand.
The Baron lowered his head and looked carefully at the blood on the ground. He strode forward and followed the corner. Angelet quickly followed. The two of them walked forward for five minutes before the Baron pulled Angelet to one side.
He hid in the woods and began to slow down.
At this time, Angelet also noticed something was wrong.
The sounds of fighting and the neighing of horses became clearer as the distance got closer.
The two quickly climbed up a slope in the forest, lay down in the grass and looked down. Down the slope was the exit of the woods, where there was a large open space on the grass.
A melee is going on nervously.
A long-haired man wearing brown leather armor was surrounded by a dozen swordsmen in the middle of the grass. They were all injured. They also had a green silk scarf on their right arm. They were very eye-catching.
Surrounding them were groups of soldiers wearing black armor, numbering at least several hundred. The two knights in white armor were leading them, riding on horses. They were quietly looking down at the long-haired man in the center. There were people lying on the ground around them.
There were corpses all over the ground, some in black armor, some in brown leather armor and tied with green silk scarves. It could be seen that a great battle had been fought previously.
"It's Rudin's black army, and those being surrounded should be Saladin's people." The baron explained to Angelet in a low voice.
At this time, one of the two generals of the Rudin Kingdom on the field began to shout loudly. "Surrender, Martin Ukiyo. As a great knight, it would be a pity for you to die in a corner like this where no one knows."
The general's voice was gentle and calm, giving people a strong sense of confidence.
"Do you think it's possible?" the long-haired man sneered. His accent had a weird accent, and there was an accent at the beginning of every sentence. It sounded like he was reciting poetry. The cadence was very awkward. "I just
The third vanguard commander of the Saladin Empire. There are more than ten other troops entering the country. Hehe, you are finished. Jones, why don't you defect to our Saladin Empire? Our commander Andrei will never treat you badly." The long-haired man
Instead, he persuaded the other party to surrender.
The general named Jones seemed to be afraid of something, and never ordered all of them to go up and kill the opponent. He just had a small-scale fight with the opponent, and then started a war of words with each other.
The Baron and Angele listened for a while, then carefully returned.
"Even a great knight would be dead if faced with so many crossbowmen." The baron said solemnly.
"Crossbow unit?" Angelet thought thoughtfully, "Father, are you talking about the soldiers surrounding the perimeter?"
"Well," the Baron explained, "I was the captain of a scout team on the battlefield. I saw a great knight shot to death by dozens of crossbowmen. He only resisted for a few seconds and was shot to death.
It's one of the most terrifying units on the battlefield. Okay, we must take a detour immediately without any further delay. In this deep forest, even if the opponent is our army, no one will know if he maliciously loots us.
."
Angelet nodded with a heavy heart.
"This time the Saladin Empire invaded the kingdom and actually sent a powerful knight-level warrior. It seems that they are ready to take action. The Kingdom of Rudin and Saladin have thousands of kilometers of territory bordering each other. If they are serious about it, they will use it together.
Two to three powerful knights or above will serve as the vanguard, and there are not many knight-level guys. If even the Forest Knights are sent, then the situation is really decided..." The baron whispered as he walked.
Angelet said something he didn't quite understand, and his face seemed a little sad and melancholy.
Angelet also somewhat understands this feeling. In a rural corner like the border Rio Territory, a peak knight level is already considered very powerful. But for the regular legions that the country can call at will, he is considered an elite at best.
That's it. The level of the peak knight level is not in the thousands but in the hundreds, and the Rudin Kingdom has been weak for a long time. Now Saladin invades in a large scale. It is estimated that he is really very sure to swallow up the Rudin Kingdom directly.
The two of them hadn't gone far when they heard a volley of crossbows behind them. Then there was a loud roar not long after. Angele had a chip and immediately recognized that this was Saladin's weapon from before.
The cry of the knight.
"Preliminary judgment on the level data of the Great Knight: Strength: 7-9. Agility: 6-7. Physique: 5-8. When the explosion occurs, the overall quality is greatly improved." The chip came up with the remote analysis just now under Angelet's instructions.
Judgment data. From the opponent's fighting conditions, gravity, physical impact, and other laws, it is possible to roughly analyze the range of its data.
When Angele heard the data, although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but gasp. "This... this is no longer human..." His expression changed and he bit his lower lip.
, my heart felt heavy.
Even the data of the Violent Mountain Bear is nothing more than this. And if calculated on average, this kind of data is far stronger than that of the Violent Mountain Bear. After all, humans still have skills and tactics. When used, the strength will be increased exponentially.
Only at this moment did Angele feel a shock all over his body. The slight sense of pride he felt for killing several knights suddenly disappeared. The physical fitness of the great knight level that was roughly detected just now does not require any skills, it is just
The strength and speed can completely crush him to death. If they meet him casually, his end will not be any better than that of Luer who died on the roadside.
"It's still too weak...Although the great knights can already hold the position of captain in a legion, there are not many of them." Angelet's heart became heavier and heavier.
"Don't worry. Angelet, although your physical limit is too low, as long as you practice swordsmanship and archery well, at least you will not be a weakling. Those great knights are not comparable to us. They all have strong forces behind them.
Support." The baron comforted him. Although he didn't know how Angelet improved his physical fitness to the knight level. After all, he had tried to plant seeds for him before. He knew that Angelet's body could not be trained no matter what.
He gave birth to the seeds of life. But no matter what, he could not let his son become depressed.
Without the life seeds, it will never be possible to enter the level of a great knight. Because there is a limit to the improvement of a person's physical fitness. When it reaches a certain level, there is no way to continue to improve. At this time, if the life energy seeds in the body can be sublimated,
This can produce what is called fighting spirit.
Angelet also read records of this in the books in the library.
"Long live Saladin!!!" Suddenly a tragic roar came from far behind.
Angelet and the Baron were both shocked, and turned to look in the direction of the battlefield. They all heard it. It was the roar of the great knight, which should be the roar of death. A great knight, in any place,
The country's strong men, who also belonged to the high-ranking elite, were sacrificed like this.
The baron had a gloomy face. "If I hadn't been injured this time, maybe within ten years, I would still be able to reach the realm of a great knight. Unfortunately..." This is also the fundamental reason why he is so strong and arrogant. What a pity.
, the current body, not to mention the great knight, even the original strength is probably difficult to maintain. "Everything depends on you, son..." The baron's eyes fell on Angelet in front of him.
As if he noticed the Baron's gaze, Angelet paused slightly. Without turning around, he quickly continued walking forward.
"No. 0, how much agility can the stored radiation energy increase?" Angremo asked.
"It is expected to increase agility by 2.1 and physical fitness by 0.3. The end time is: eleven days. The remaining energy is expected to be one-twelfth of the original." No. 0 gave a precise answer.
"Remaining energy?" Angelet was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"The body enhancement is about to reach its limit. The final enhancement of the genetic sequence is limited. It cannot continue to be enhanced. Special energy will remain." Zero's mechanical voice quickly replied.
Angelet's face froze. "In other words, my body will never be able to reach the level of a great knight, right?"
"Correct rate 94.53%." Automatic feedback from the chip.
Angelet's hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist tightened suddenly. He suddenly stopped and raised his head to look up at the sky.
The dense leaves blocked the dazzling sunlight, leaving only fine golden particles hitting the ground. The scorching light fell on the back of Angelet's hand, forming a golden spot. But he could not feel any warmth.
"What's wrong? Angele?" the baron asked from behind.
"It's okay, I just thought of something." Angelet forced a smile on his face and said, "Come on, father, we have to leave this area immediately."
"kindness."
Angelet suddenly remembered that ring. That mysterious emerald ring. The weird characters on it.
