Even these knights, who have received high-intensity combat training since childhood and stand at the pinnacle of human martial arts, wear the strongest armor and the sharpest swords, cannot defeat a powerful werewolf alone with their own strength.
Even if this mysterious lord is stronger than them, it is impossible for one person to kill dozens of werewolves. This is simply not something humans can do.
So they concluded that this matter was a scam, and the piled up werewolf corpses were not killed by one person at all.
It is very likely that the invading werewolves and the original lord's troops perished together. In the end, the young man in front of them picked up the leak. He boasted that he had killed all the werewolves and successfully deceived these stupid civilians and tried to seize this piece of land.
territory.
It's a pity that their Earl, like other nobles nearby, was frightened by this shocking rumor. In addition, the werewolf corpses piled up like a small hill and growing in number were really too intimidating.
It made him dare not act rashly for a long time.
Not long ago, Count Warren received a letter from this mysterious lord.
Hence, their arrival this time.
For Count Warren, this is a rare opportunity to find out the details of Chen Mo.
Before setting off, Count Warren personally explained the purpose of his trip to them. In addition to completing what was stated in the letter, he also wanted to take the opportunity to find out the origins of this mysterious lord and how powerful he was.
If he is really as powerful as the legend says, he must win over him carefully. Even if he cannot be used by him, he must not become his enemy.
At this time, this legendary and powerful lord was right in front of them. Judging from his appearance, although he was tall and strong, he was not much different from them, and even slightly inferior to many of them who were very strong.
.
This made it difficult for them to believe that he could kill more than fifty werewolves by himself with a single sword and without even a horse.
In their minds, the idea that Chen Mo was a liar became even stronger.
Originally, as a knight, you should dismount your horse and salute in front of a lord. This is the most basic etiquette.
Even though this lord is not the master he is loyal to, his status is much nobler than his. This is a gap in status.
However, these knights sat calmly on their horses in front of Chen Mo who was walking and looked down at Chen Mo. This was a very unreasonable behavior and could even be said to be a provocation.
Looking at the group of unruly knights sitting proudly on the horse, Chen Mo looked calm and showed no displeasure. Instead, he reached out and took out an object from his arms and threw it directly to the leading knight.
Seeing Chen Mo's actions, the knight quickly stretched out his hand and caught the thing thrown by Chen Mo. However, he felt his wrist sinking and almost missed it. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a thick gold brick, estimated to weigh ten kilograms.
"Leave my horse and you can leave."
Chen Mo's cold and majestic voice came next.
It turned out that Chen Mo had proposed to buy one hundred war horses from him at a high price in a letter sent to Count Warren. At this time, the deal had been reached, and the knights escorting the war horses had completed their mission and could go back to resume their lives.
However, after the knight opposite got the gold, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he looked at Chen Mo with greed in his eyes.
The leading knight saw that the lord Chen Mo had no reaction to their rudeness and instead honestly gave them gold. They were even more convinced that Chen Mo had been bluffing and was not as powerful as the legend said.
As for throwing ten kilograms of gold more than ten meters, powerful knights like them can basically do it. This also shows that Chen Mo's strength is actually about the same as them.
Earl Warren told them when he sent them here that they should find a way to test Chen Mo's strength. If they find that he is not as powerful as the rumors say and that this is all just a scam, then they will kill the person who dared to deceive him.
Just kill the bastard!
It was precisely because of this plan that Count Warren sent nearly half of his knights and attendant cavalry to escort the horses to Chen Mo's territory for this transaction.
At this time, these knights had already judged Chen Mo's background. Seeing how easily Chen Mo took out so much gold, their desire for money made them impatient to wait.
Not in the mood to do other unnecessary tests, under the leadership of the leading knight, everyone in the knights drew out the swords at their waists and lined up to charge towards Chen Mo.
Feral smiles bloomed on their faces. Even the werewolves could only be slaughtered in the face of such a large-scale cavalry charge, let alone this human who was not even wearing armor and stood defenseless in front of them.
.
Doesn't he really think that the earl completely believed the lies he made up and didn't dare to take action against him?
How naive!
Andrew and others behind Chen Mo were shocked when they saw this, and quickly drew out their swords to block Chen Mo.
At this time, their position was between the group of knights and the wall. They were surrounded by empty space and there was no place to dodge. Since there was no way to retreat, they had no choice but to resist. Even if they died, they had to kill a few of them!
Andrew and the others stood in front of Chen Mo, their expressions solemn but extremely determined. Chen Mo saved them from the werewolf and taught them advanced swordsmanship, asking them to leave Chen Mo and run away. They absolutely couldn't do it.
It doesn't matter if he dies, the worst case scenario is to return this life to the lord.
The same goes for the soldiers of the Territory Guard. Such a long period of training was not in vain. Facing the large group of charging knights, the soldiers did not panic at all. They maintained a neat formation and rushed forward resolutely and fearlessly with weapons in hand. Wanting to
Block the cavalry attack before Chen Mo is attacked.
Chen Mo eliminated the hidden danger of werewolves for them, reduced taxes, and enabled their family to live a stable life. This was already the greatest favor for them who were originally precarious and struggling to live under the exploitation of the lords.
Even if it is for their family to continue their current stable life, they are willing to risk their lives to protect the lord!
Chen Mo looked at the group of knights under Count Valencia who suddenly launched an attack, holding their swords and spears high and charging towards him. There was no surprise on their faces, but an expression that showed that they were just like that.
He had already expected that these noble lords would not be frightened by a pile of werewolf corpses all the time. Over time, they would definitely have other ideas. Rather than passively waiting for them to make a move first, he might as well take the initiative to test it out.
Hence the move to purchase war horses from the great lord, Earl Warren.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to purchase a war horse, not only can he test the attitude of the surrounding nobles, but he may also be able to take the opportunity to directly start his plan.
