The raindrops hit the wood, making a crackling sound.
On a rainy night, a soldier wearing a sharp uniform was scattered around the tavern, guarding Wang Xu's safety.
In the room, Wang Xu was leaning on the bedside, reading a travel diary of the world of knights by the light of candles.
The protagonist of this travelogue is very interesting. He describes his adventure in the wild and encountered a layer of fog. After passing through the fog, he came to a world like a fairy tale.
Elves as big as thumbs, big trees with human faces, and various animals that can talk have established a kingdom just like humans.
This man wandered around the animal kingdom, befriended tigers, told stories with orangutans, and made many friends.
One day, by chance, he woke up and found that he was lying under a big tree, looking around, as if everything was just a dream.
"It's a changing of the guard, it's a changing of the guard!"
Wang Xu watched with great interest until he was disturbed by the sound outside.
He sat up from the bed, opened the window and looked outside, and found that it was still raining outside and the soldiers on guard were being rotated.
Twenty soldiers stood scattered around the tavern, working in pairs and on night duty.
Soldiers rotate every two hours. If Wang Xu remembers correctly, this is already the fourth rotation tonight, and it should be late at night.
"As my cultivation level gets higher and higher, my sleep becomes shallower and shallower. With my current physical condition, I can go without sleep for ten and a half months and it will be fine. If I sleep once, it will be over for an hour or two. It really loses a lot of fun.
.In addition, my strength has entered the late stage of the second level, and my physical fitness has increased sharply on the original basis. The next step is to consider the third level."
The world of Liaozhai has entered the second level, and the Magic Mobile World has become the middle stage of the second level. Now, Wang Xu's strength has made another leap, and the third level is not far away.
Although Wang Xu did not test it during this period, according to his estimation, in terms of strength alone, he should be no less than 18,000 tons.
After all, every time he breaks through a realm, his strength will increase by 3.5 times on the original basis.
When he first entered the second level, his power was 1350 tons. After entering the middle stage of the second level, his power was 4725 tons.
In the late stage of the second stage, the power is increased by 3.5 times on the basis of 4725 tons, which is 16537 tons.
Although Wang Xu hasn't tested it yet, based on his feeling, he feels that his power will never be less than 18,000 tons, and it may even be stronger.
This is equivalent to him punching and a 22-story ordinary apartment falling from the sky and hitting him.
Even the destructive power is even greater than this. After all, the area of a building is large, and the impact caused by dispersing the impact on a building is different from the damage caused by gathering it on a fist.
Whoosh!!
Snapped
While he was thinking wildly, a strange noise attracted Wang Xu's attention.
Under the heavy rain, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air and falling to the ground. Although this sound was suppressed very low by the rain, it could not escape Wang Xu's ears.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Shouting sounded from outside, and it sounded like someone was attacking the station.
Wang Xu frowned slightly, wondering who was so ignorant, was he a bandit in the dark forest, or a bandit from elsewhere.
"Master, master!" The door was pushed open violently, and the old housekeeper and the night knights came in and said: "Master, there is someone attacking us outside, and they have already engaged the personal guards."
After saying this, Capas turned to the knights beside him and said: "You guys protect the safety of the master, and any intruders will be killed without mercy."
"yes."
There were six knights on duty, two at the door, two at the window, and two at Wang Xu's bedside.
After the six people stood still, Klein, who had already rested, arrived with the remaining knights.
When he walked in, he saw that Wang Xu was safe and sound. While Klein was relieved, a look of anger flashed across his face: "Leave a few people behind, and follow me for the rest."
Carrying the knight's gun, Klein strode away. After a while, roars came from outside.
Wang Xu leaned on the bed, protected by several knights, and read the book leisurely and contentedly, as if what was in front of him was just a farce.
swish swish
One after another, feather arrows penetrated the wooden boards and flew into the room. They flew in mid-air and were picked down by the knights guarding here.
Green stood among the knights, and while picking off an arrow, he looked at Wang Xu out of the corner of his eye.
When he saw Wang Xu reading without changing his expression in the face of the incoming arrows, even Green, whose eyes were higher than his head, flashed a bit of admiration in his eyes.
The Art of War says that if your heart is filled with thunder and your face is like a flat lake, you can worship the general.
Green had never thought that the earl, who was about the same age as himself, could be so calm in the face of danger.
I don’t know if he is a brave person because of his skill, or if he is just naturally bold, and he is not afraid of feathers and arrows.
It should be the latter, Green thought.
After all, in everyone's perception, Wang Xu is a powerless nobleman. We have never heard that the earl of his family has practiced any breathing techniques or that he has any martial arts.
Naturally, Green, who knew nothing, regarded Wang Xu as an ordinary person who knew nothing.
As for why ordinary people can control knights and even silver knights, this is easy to explain.
After all, not all restaurant owners know how to cook.
"Something's wrong. Why does the battle sound more and more intense?"
After lying on the window and listening for a while, Capas whispered incomprehensibly.
You must know that those who followed Wang Xu to the royal capital were carefully selected personal guards. Although they were not knights, each of them had the ability to kill ordinary soldiers in an instant.
100 Guards soldiers, ten palace knights, plus Klein, a quasi-Golden Knight master, let alone bandits and bandits, they can break into even a viscount's territory.
But it sounds like after Klein led the palace knights to join the battle, the battle not only did not calm down, but actually became more intense.
Bang!!
There was a roar, and a knight in armor broke through the wooden board and came in from the outside. He fell to the ground without moving.
Several knights swarmed up and caught the knight who came in. Many people were shocked: "Sir, it's Bennett!"
"Bennett?" The old butler squeezed in, and his expression changed as soon as he saw it.
Bennett is also a member of the palace knights. In terms of strength alone, he is not at the bottom among the palace knights.
But now, Bennett opened his eyes angrily, unable to die any longer.
What's even more shocking is that Bennett's breastplate was smashed to pieces. He seemed helpless and was killed by heavy weapons.
Woo woo woo
A gust of cold wind blew through the opened gap, sending chills down everyone's backs.
Everyone couldn't help but look up and saw that the members of the Guards were fighting with a group of men in black, and the palace knights led by Klein were also restrained by masters wearing black tights and masks.
Just one glance at "this" made the old housekeeper's heart skip a beat.
Judging from the scene, not only did our side not have the advantage, but we were being suppressed and beaten by the men in black.
Even the golden lion Klein, who was invincible in his heart, was currently fighting with a burly man holding a giant axe. He looked like he was evenly matched.
"Where did these enemies come from?"
The old housekeeper became suspicious and couldn't help but look back at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu himself was also wondering. A leader who was comparable to Klein, thirty knight-level masked men, and hundreds of elite soldiers were quite powerful.
He has no enemies in the knight world, so how could someone send such an elite regiment to intercept and kill him.
"You guys also come up and support Klein." Wang Xu didn't know the answer, but it didn't delay him from commanding the battle.
"My lord, your safety"
After hearing Wang Xu's order, the knights guarding the room looked at him worriedly.
Wang Xu waved his hand nonchalantly, saying there was no need to worry about his safety, and replied casually: "Just let Green and the housekeeper protect me. You go ahead."
The old butler Capas also came from a noble family. Although he took the butler route, it did not mean that he did not know martial arts.
In fact, few people know that in addition to being a butler, Capas is also a powerful knight.
Although he cannot compare with Klein, he has initially reached the Silver level and is stronger than many palace knights present.
"Yes." This time, the ten palace knights didn't say anything and started to kill from the gap.
Wang Xu glanced at everyone's backs, then looked up at Green, and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, it's a joke."
Green pretended not to care, but his trembling calves had already betrayed him.
It's no wonder that although Green's strength is comparable to that of a formal knight, he is a flower in the greenhouse after all and has never participated in actual combat, let alone killing people.
Let him do it with real swords and guns. If he can show his strength to the best of seven or eight, it will be a good achievement. Practicing martial arts and killing people are two different things.
