Chapter 145 Fighting

The sound of rolling hooves rang out, the pace of the war horses was steady and powerful, and the neat trampling sound made people's hearts surge.

Creak!

The creepy friction sound rang out, the iron chain was pulled and retracted with the wheel, and the thick city gate was slowly opened.

The bustling and lively streets where the nightlife was about to come were now empty. There was no sound except the empty sound of the horn, and the ground was full of various miscellaneous items discarded in panic.

This place was just forcibly blocked by soldiers a few minutes ago.

"It's the knights of the Soros family!" Old Jack recognized the dark red phoenix tail flower on the armor through the gap in the window.

He used to work as a grassroots team leader in the iron smelting factory of the Soros family and was very familiar with this family emblem.

"What era is it? These noble lords are still wearing armor and fighting with long swords. It's really stupid."

"No matter how fast the sword is, it can't be faster than my gun!" Big Jack's eyes revealed contempt and disdain.

"Now is the era of cannons and ships. No matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop my cannons." The thirteen or fourteen-year-old Jack next to him agreed. He was a cannon worshiper.

Old Jack looked at his son and grandson and shook his head secretly. These young people didn't understand the power of knights.

Or they couldn't see through the world. How could these noble lords rule the world and stand at the top of society? It wasn't their wealth and reputation.

It was just the knight's long sword and the black heavy armor on their bodies, which they thought were a pile of scrap metal!

Alas... a faint sigh sounded in the room.

They hadn't seen it, but Old Jack had seen how sharp and ruthless the long sword in the hands of the knight was. It was not something that ordinary people like them could confront head-on.

He once had the idea of ​​sending his grandson to learn the way of knights, but he gave up after learning about the cost. Daily expenses were barely enough.

But the training equipment, various convalescent drugs, knight swords, full body armor, etc. together cost a lot of money.

Especially the potion called knight's faith, which he couldn't afford even if he sold it.

Old Jack was reluctant to let his grandson be loyal to the nobles and become a family knight of the nobles, so in the end, nothing happened.

…

Ent and Mark led nearly two hundred knight attendants to the Stuart Family Manor in Qingdi District.

This manor, which can be regarded as the most beautiful and luxurious in Highland City, has fallen into complete silence. The frequent chirping of insects and birds in the past has disappeared, leaving only the crackling and violently burning torches and the dim lights at the gate.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer and louder, the dense and violent sound swallowed the manor like a storm in the dim night.

Under such strong pressure, the soldiers guarding Stuart Manor swallowed unconsciously, holding the muskets in their hands tightly, and pointing the muzzles into the darkness.

The knights performed much better. Most of them stayed in their own defense areas, holding swords, leaning on swords, or carrying iron guns on their shoulders, slowly accumulating strength, and quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Campas Province is a frontier province, often in conflict with the Sayue Federation, with fierce folk customs and unstable society.

So most of the knights here have experienced wars and participated in fighting, and they belong to war knights.

Knights are divided into several types according to their behavior.

There are guardian knights who protect their families, countries, and maintain justice, ascetic knights who stick to their beliefs and pursue life evolution, and some knights are called war knights, who are dedicated to killing and fighting for war.

There were not so many divisions in the past. At that time, wars were frequent and fighting was everywhere, so basically there were war knights. In the past hundred years, Xizhou has gradually settled down, and large-scale wars have disappeared. Only occasional local conflicts have occurred, so several other types of knights have been born.

Another part of the manor.

The pale moonlight and the blood-red sunset mixed together through the gauze curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the silver-haired old man sitting cross-legged, and dragging a long black shadow on the floor.

There was anger, despair, regret, and the desire to die on his face... It was so complicated that almost every negative emotion of human beings could be found in his eyes.

"Soros family..." The old man smiled bitterly.

He didn't expect the Soros family to come so quickly and so fiercely, and he didn't expect the Soros family to dare to lead the family knights to siege another noble in Highland City.

Aren't they afraid of the punishment of the Noble Council!

Looking at the slightly trembling wooden floor, he knew that the enemy was approaching.

The old man stood up suddenly, took a knight sword with a bright silver luster beside him, and walked out.

This battle may not be lost.

The news from the front was that the Soros family attacked them and the Korif family at the same time, so there was only one knight here at most, and it was very likely that it was the one-eyed Ent. Two to one, they still had the advantage!

...

Ent took the lead and rushed to the front of the knight team.

He didn't plan to use tactics. Facing these garbage, he just rushed forward and killed them all.

Five hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

As he got closer and closer to the gate of Stuart Manor, he saw the muskets and crossbows on the gate...

This bunch of rubbish hadn't attacked yet, probably because they saw that they were wearing full body armor and wanted to wait until they got closer before attacking.

"Good idea..." Ente's one eye flashed with murderous intent, and he gently patted the warhorse under his crotch.

The warhorse was like chicken blood, speeding up, and rushed out in an instant, approaching within a hundred meters of the gate in the blink of an eye.

The enemy on the gate tower was stunned at first, then he aimed at Ente and fired arrows quickly.

Ente did not panic. He calmly drew the long sword from his waist and swung it forward.

Boom!

A huge sword energy slashed out from the sword, swept across the ground, and fiercely chopped the gate tower of the manor that was more than ten meters high. In the horrified eyes of the crowd, the gate tower was dismembered into pieces of rubble under the sharp sword energy and collapsed.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and the gate tower had completely disappeared, and the guards on the tower also disappeared, leaving only a deep gully in the middle, emitting a hot breath.

"Ente!!!"

The silver-haired old man climbed up from the ground in a panic, looking at the approaching Ente with bloodshot eyes.

He was almost hit by this sword energy just now. Judging from the power of the sword energy, he would be seriously injured if he was not killed.

The main reason was that the old man did not expect Ente to start fighting without saying a word. He came to the main gate, thinking about whether he could solve the problem through negotiation, and not fight if he could.

"Ente, listen to me first..."

Tear!

A sword energy made a sharp sound, tearing through the air and slashing towards him vertically.

The old man's pupils shrank, and he rolled on the ground to avoid it.

Boom!

The position he was in just now was instantly shattered, leaving only a vertical and horizontal sword mark.

But before he had time to rejoice, he saw Ente's legs kick the saddle hard, his body jumped up, and slashed towards him in the air, with a cold luster in the knight's sword in his hand.

The moment he left the warhorse, the warhorse was crushed to the ground by the huge force, and all the horse legs were broken.

"Master!"

Seeing that the master was in a dangerous situation of head-on confrontation with the one-eyed Ente, Oliqi did not care about organizing troops to resist the knights charging from behind, he immediately drew the long sword at his waist and prepared to go forward to support.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and turned around reflexively, and at the same time, he slashed, showing his excellent fighting qualities.

Clang!

The two knight swords slashed together, and sparks burst out in a crisp sound.

Mark smiled awkwardly, and the sneak attack failed.

Then he put away his smile, snorted coldly, and his arms burst out with extreme strength, knocking Oliqi away in an instant.

Oliqi turned over to resist the force, and the soil sank when he stepped on the ground, and then he was pulled back several meters by inertia, leaving two deep scratches on the ground.

"You are..."

Halfway through the words, a cold light flew towards him at a very fast speed in his pupils.

Without time to think about why there was suddenly an unfamiliar knight, Oliqi subconsciously narrowed his eyes, suddenly took a step, and sprinted out, attacking against attack!

In a short breath, his sword hit the knight's sword thirteen times.

Completely weakening Mark's offensive, the last few strikes forced Mark to return to defense, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed instantly.

Mark took a breath lightly, and the energy in his body surged and stirred his flesh and blood. The energy emerged from his body, lightly covering the black heavy armor and entwining the knight's sword.

The air in front of the sword tip was slightly distorted by the stab.

Ente looked at the Stuart family head who was blocking and dodging on the ground, and the bloodthirstiness in his eyes became heavier.

"Ente, stop first, and talk about it."

"Ente! You are committing a crime, openly murdering the viscount of the empire, the noble parliament will not forgive you!"

"The coachman Mark was promoted..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man's heart flashed with warning signs, and Ente in front of him suddenly burst out with powerful energy.

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and countless sword shadows spread all over every corner of the space around him, slashing towards him.

The sword energy in the sky blocked all possible directions for him to evade, and the old man knew that he had to fight desperately.

Plop plop plop!

His heart beat rapidly, making a sound like a deafening drum, the myocardium contracted and relaxed rapidly, pushing blood out, and the blood in the blood vessels surged.

The old man stimulated the blood and qi in his body, burning his vitality, and his old body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ente's one eye was smiling, and his steps suddenly flashed like thunder. In the blink of an eye, he was close to the old man, and the long sword in his hand avoided the old man's silver sword at an extremely tricky angle.

With a puff, the long sword cut through the waist, and the gushing blood was mixed with intestines and other internal organs.

"Garbage is garbage!"

Ente said the first sentence after arriving at Stuart Manor, but unfortunately the silver-haired old man could no longer hear it.

He took off the heavy armor full of bullet holes and arrows, pulled up his shirt, revealing muscles that seemed to be made of steel, and looked at the gorgeous manor under the moonlight with a cruel smile.

Ignoring the fight between Mark and Oliqi, he dragged the long sword and slowly walked towards the manor.
