Chapter 0088: A True Knight

Chapter 0088 True Knight

Antophes snorted, took off his shield, drew his sword, and began to speed his horse without saying a word.

Li Xun's heart moved, and he slowed down his dismount by sorting out his equipment, but he still blessed Antofate and himself with protective arrows without losing his duty.

The arrival of the two alarmed the leader of the thieves who commanded on the periphery, and when he saw one of them speeding up towards them, he waved his hand, and the thieves greeted them with a cruel smile.

At a distance of less than a hundred meters, it was quickly approaching as both sides accelerated. The knight of Antophis held a shield in one hand to protect his chest, and tapped the shield lightly with a long sword in the other, and shouted a few prayers such as "tenacity", "bravery", and "courage".

There was a collision that resounded through the wasteland, and one of the thieves in front of him became a stone that had been violently whipped away by a wooden stick, and his mouth spurted blood and passed over the heads of the thieves behind him, and he fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and the arm holding the sword was twisted into shape. Before the frightened thieves could take a closer look, Antophes was already shouting and charging, passing past them and heading straight for the unmoved thief in place. The white light swept up, and the swords of the three thieves on the right hand fell to the ground and fell off the horse's back diagonally, and blood gushed out from the cut in the throat, and they couldn't cover it, and the two thieves on the other side were slapped on the chest by the shield, and they fell off the horse and rolled on the ground.

"Church Knight, it's Church Knight......" Immediately there was a scream of rage from inside the thief.

The thief leader was also shocked, and even exhaled with a sigh of relief, he could actually meet the church knights in such a remote place, was the principality occupied by the church? I didn't have time to think about it, looking at the other party's aura coming straight towards him, the thief leader didn't dare to respond to the enemy, urging a few people around him to go up to intercept, and he hurriedly hit the horse to dodge, and kept scolding his subordinates to come to the rescue.

The knights of the church are indeed famous, known for their ability to fight and fight, and their thick skin and hard life, I can't imagine that I will meet them today, if it is not for the fact that there are few people on the other side, I really can't say that I have to retreat.

The thieves besieging the caravan turned around and rushed straight over, and soon joined the thieves. The five or six thieves who rushed up to entangle the knight of Antophis knew the power of the knight of the church, and would never confront him, and drove their horses to spin non-stop, wandering around the knight, waiting for an opportunity to attack the knight's horse. Antophes relied on his strong armor and relied on the speed of his horse to split two more people in a row, seeing that the remaining few were too slippery, he could only turn his horse's head and prepare to charge the assembled army of thieves.

Li Xun followed behind him, stunned. To be honest, I have been in this world for 9 months, and Li Xun is very disappointed in the so-called knight class, where is the legendary fighting spirit and internal strength? It's just that it's a little more powerful, more skilled, and better equipped than most of the fighters, but is there anything else special about it? Seeing that even the knights of the kingdom were like this, Li Xun had already classified the knight class into the ranks of ordinary people. Who would have thought that today's stunned eyes were opened, an ordinary church knight could obtain such a powerful divine blessing with just a few prayers, killing heartily among the thieves, and now facing an enemy array of more than 60 people and daring to charge head-on, what courage and courage is required!

But it can't be made to be beautiful, the real battlefield sweeper is a mage's patent. Li Xun flicked his fingers, and the magic surged, and a lightning chain pierced the sky, rushing into the group of thieves with the strange sound of "Zizi". In an instant, a scorched atmosphere filled the audience, and there was a faint aroma of barbecue, and more than a dozen people fell silently in the group of thieves. Standing too densely, each with a sharp blade in his hand, and without any magic protection, such a good target fully demonstrates the conductivity of electricity.

"Mage ......" The terrible exclamation frightened everyone, here are mages?

The thief leader couldn't help but burst into tears, what the fucking luck it was to meet the combination of a church knight and a mage, what day the hell is today? Could it be that the goddess of doom drilled into her bed yesterday?

The angry thief turned around and ran without saying a word, not even daring to say hello, the lightning chain just now exploded in front of his eyes, if it wasn't for his sword throwing fast, it is estimated that it would have become barbecue. At this time, whoever comes out on the head will attract the attention of the mage. The usual distinctive fine leather armor now seemed so stupid, it was simply beckoning to the mage affectionately, and he could only leave behind something that was in sight while fleeing.

Before he could run a few steps, a ten-meter-long and two-meter-wide wall of fire suddenly emerged from the firelight in front of him. The thief who couldn't brake screamed and cursed and rushed into the wall of fire, and when he rushed out from the opposite side, he was already a burning man who was constantly screaming and screaming, struggling and rolling on the ground for a few laps before he prostrate and became a charred corpse still burning.

The knight of Antophis had already crashed into the group of thieves at this time, the long sword in his hand flew up and down, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight thieves fell, and the rest scattered in a hurry, and there was no longer any desire to fight. The knight rode his horse and slashed a few more people, and then he stopped his horse, and looked at the wall of fire that was still burning and was silently distracted. The panicked thieves fled one after another, and went around to both ends of the wall of fire, and three more thieves were squeezed into the wall of fire by their own people, becoming a torch of wailing, adding another tragedy to the battlefield.

The people in the car array were already desperate, but they didn't want to be just a hot tea, the thieves who were still mutilating them just now had already run away, and the corpses that had been left on the ground had disappeared over the dirt slope without looking back.

For a while, there was a thunderous roar of joy, and people kept waving their arms in salute, and several caravan leaders in costume got out of the car formation with the support of the guards, trotted towards the two, and bowed when they were far away.

Li Xun immediately went to have a conversation before he understood the reason. This caravan is composed of more than a dozen small merchants, who specially come to these remote places to buy local souvenirs, but they did not expect to be targeted by the thieves and blocked in this place. Ignoring everyone's gratitude, he refused the merchant's offer, and escorted the caravan to a nearby town, where Li Xun asked for the path before greeting the knight of Antophis, and re-embarked on the road amid the shouts of "God of Justice Rende" and "Long live the mage".

Riding side by side again, the two of them became much more intimate, and they were both amazed by each other's methods, and they inquired about each other to satisfy their curiosity. Only then did Li Xun know that the church knights were the main force of each church's guard, and unlike the church priests, they did not need to preach and preach, and they usually prayed in good faith in addition to honing their martial arts, only in this way could they obtain some divine graces, and they could obtain divine blessings through short broken prayers during the battle.

Depending on the charisma obtained, the ranks of Church knights can be divided into knightly squires, knights, grand knights, holy knights, and Templars. In terms of combat power, secular knights cannot be compared to charismatic knights at all, but charismatic knights are servants of the gods and will never serve the local lords and nobles, so they are not liked by the noble group.

Antophis has been serving the Church of the God of Justice for 27 years, and is still just an ordinary church knight, so he has only mastered the blessings of 7 individual charismas, and he can't be blessed as a group like the Great Knight. According to Antophis, he is still far from the Grand Knight, and it will take at least ten years of tempering to have the slightest possibility.

This kind of difficult process is no longer inferior to the promotion of the mage, which makes Li Xun speechless, and he is deeply glad for himself.

However, when it was Li Xun's turn to tell, it was inevitable that he would be mixed with water, and the experience of becoming a level 8 mage in 9 months was comparable to a knight's novel, so he couldn't say anything. Li Xun, who searched his stomach and scraped his stomach, started from a poor child in the Kingdom of Brightland, with little talent but a poor family, who was sold by his family to a mage as a slave, experienced the destruction of countless magic realities but was lucky to survive, escaped by luck and traveled all over the world, worked hard to hone himself and finally realized his dream of becoming a mage.

After making up a set of lies, Li Xun's mouth foamed everywhere, and Antofate was embarrassed to hear it, but it relieved the loneliness of no one in the wilderness. Li Xun even considered whether to make this lie complete again, and treat it as his true life experience, otherwise there will always be people who will continue to ask later, he makes up different things every time, and sooner or later he will leak out flaws, so it is better to find a suitable one and wash his identity as a black household.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, and at noon on the 9th the two entered the port of Ancona.

When they arrived at their destination, the two of them had to go their separate ways. After exchanging respects and waving at the city gate, Li Xun stayed directly in the inn last time, and the knight of Antofate went to the temple of justice here to report.

When he entered the port of Ancona, Li Xun found that there were many more people dressed as knights, and although many of them were covered with cloaks and smocks, the fine armor and gorgeous lining were still eye-catching, and the church badge on the chest could not be hidden.

It seems that the religious policy of the principality has undergone a major adjustment.

Due to the speed of riding alone this time, there were still 4 days before the other party's agreement, Li Xun didn't have the heart to wander around, he didn't take half a step out of the room, and began to figure out the fourth-order spell in his hand.

Immersed in the study of spells, you will not be aware of the passage of time, and in the blink of an eye, the appointed moment will be reached.

Port of Ancona, Pier 7, Freight Warehouse.

It was late at night, and the port had become quieter after a day of hustle and bustle, and most of the laborers on the wharf had been reduced, and the rest were squatting or wading in twos and threes, waiting for the call in the shore rest area. The bright magic lights of the lighthouses at the two headlands swept across the nearby shore from time to time, and every quarter of an hour a patrol of 30 men walked around the docks in full gear.

Basar was anxiously pacing at the door of the warehouse, the appointed time was approaching, he wouldn't not come, right? Standing on tiptoe and looking out at the streets leading to the place, I couldn't see anything under the dim streetlights, which added to the irritability.

It's a big man who came today, and if he wasn't familiar with that person, the head supervisor would never give him the lead. If this matter is done well, it will save the merchant house two years of sea clan service, and he will not have to run with the ship all the year round, and he can become a supervisor in a certain place. At that time, Emma and Sally were brought in, and the family could be together every day. Thinking of the beautiful place, my heart is warm, and I rub my hands with joy, which can make the cool night breeze of the harbor blow and return to reality.

Why haven't you come yet?
