Lord Victor
A powerful Knights of over a hundred well-equipped men committed suicide by ramming the gates of his Castle, resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire army. It's quite a story.
I'm sure I'll make a big splash in the circles of the great nobles, which will be even more talked about than the last time I repelled the werewolf invasion.
Just as Count Valen was imagining how to adapt the battle to make himself even more imposing, the Black Robe Knight leading the Knights below finally rushed into the doorway.
A dull thud rang out, and Count Valen's smile deepened.
He could easily imagine the Knight's incredulous expression as he slammed into the city gate. Unfortunately, the gate was located in a long, deep archway directly below the city wall, several meters away from the outside of the wall. Standing on the city wall, one could not see the scene below at all, which made Count Valen feel somewhat disappointed.
As the lead Black Robe Knight rushed into the city gate, the Knight behind him followed closely behind, rushing in one after another. Soon, the expression on Count Valen's face froze.
Nearly half of the hundreds of heavily armored Knight had already rushed into the city gate, and the Knight following behind were still rushing in. However, the city gate was only a few meters deep, and even if all the Knight in front were squeezed together, it would be impossible to accommodate dozens of heavily armored Knight.
Just as Count Valen was filled with disbelief, fierce shouts of battle suddenly came from inside the city gate below him.
Count Valen couldn't see what was happening at the city gate, but the Knight following Chen Mo could see it clearly.
Just as he was about to crash into the city gate, Chen Mo swiftly drew his longsword from his waist and, with lightning speed, slashed vertically at the city gate that was right in front of him.
A dazzling silver sword light flashed like lightning across the center of the city gate, and then Chen Mo's warhorse crashed heavily into the heavy city gate.
Contrary to Count Valen's expectations of blood splattering and broken bones, the black warhorse, far larger and stronger than any other, let out a loud neigh and charged forward, forcefully smashing open the tightly closed gate.
The heavy bolt, cut in two, was thrown out by the impact and landed in front of the soldiers guarding the gate. This sudden turn of events caught them off guard, and their sturdy Castle gate had been breached.
The Knight followed closely behind Chen Mo and charged into the Castle. Before the soldiers in front of them could retaliate, they were completely overwhelmed by the still-charging Knights.
After a brief burst of shouts and screams, the Knights without slowing down, rushing through the gates and heading into the Castle. Behind them, all that remained was a chaotic mess of corpses, almost trampled into a bloody pulp by the horses' hooves.
Count Valen immediately turned around and rushed towards the inner wall. Looking at the Knights charging in below, Count Valen looked on in disbelief.
He simply couldn't imagine how they had broken through the city gates. Judging from the speed at which they rushed in, it seemed that they hadn't been stopped at all by the city gates. Could it be that someone had betrayed him and the city gates were never closed?
Count Valen turned to look at the captain of the guard beside him with a stern expression, only to find that the Knights below with a shocked expression, not as if he had known beforehand.
Putting aside his doubts, Count Valen looked at the Knights who were turning their horses around and charging towards the city walls. His expression was solemn and puzzled. What exactly did these Knight want to do?
Using cavalry to attack a city is one thing, but do they really intend to breach the Upper Manhattan?
Under Count Valen's incredulous gaze, hundreds of Knight braved a hail of arrows and charged to the inner city wall. They dismounted, raised their gleaming Knight Longsword, and charged up the steps toward the wall.
Count Valen was overjoyed. Had these foolish Knight lost their minds?
On horseback, they can withstand attacks from swords, spears, and arrows with Knight armor that covers them from head to toe, and ride their warhorses to fight and kill to their heart's content.
Once Knight dismounts, his once almost invincible armor becomes a heavy and cumbersome burden, making him stagger on the ground and an easy target for infantry to thrust their weapons through the gaps in his armor, wounding or even killing Knight.
Therefore, Knight generally did not wear a full set of heavy armor when fighting on foot, but only equipped themselves with breastplates.
Seeing that the powerful Knights who had broken through the city gates and rushed in were foolish enough to dismount and fight on foot, and even attack the city walls from a low position, Count Valen's mood took a dramatic turn for the better. His previously despairing heart was now filled with hope of victory again.
Without any command, the archers on the city wall relentlessly rained down arrows on the heavily armored Knight charging upwards. Although all the arrows were blocked by the knights' armor and shields, they continued to fire relentlessly.
The soldiers wielding spears quickly gathered at the stairs Upper Manhattan, forming a tight defense, ready to face the arrival of these heavily armored Knight.
However, no one noticed that although these heavily armored Knight moved slowly, they did not appear stiff or clumsy at all; on the contrary, they were very agile in their movements.
It wasn't until the two sides actually made contact that Count Valen realized he was wrong.
These Knight, after dismounting from their warhorses, did not lose any fighting power; on the contrary, they became exceptionally agile, and their longsword attacks were incredibly sharp.
As the spears of the soldiers at the forefront were cut in half, they were then slain by the charging Knight. Their once confident defenses were easily torn apart by these ridiculously powerful Knight.
What followed was a one-sided Carnage. Even the Knight under Count Valen were no match for these Silver Armored Knights. Their longswords were broken when they struck the armor, but they did not cause any harm to the Knight inside.
However, the longswords in the hands of these Knights could pierce through their heavy armor and kill them.
The fierce battle ended quickly. After Count Valen was beheaded by Chen Mo with a single sword stroke, the remaining Knight and soldiers gave up resistance and chose to surrender.
Their Lord is dead; there's no point in continuing the fight and wasting their lives.
With the death of the great Lord Count Valen, his vast territory was completely seized by Chen Mo. With his hundred-man heavy armored Knights, Chen Mo rose to become the new ruler of this region.
Before the surrounding Count Valen's vassal nobles could react, Chen Mo rested briefly at Blackrock Castle before launching an attack on the surrounding territories.
Under Chen Mo's leadership, the Knights launched a series of attacks and, in half a month, completely recovered the territory spanning dozens of square kilometers. Chen Mo officially became the master of this land of more than 2,000 square kilometers and tens of thousands of people.
Chen Mo's expansion did not stop there. After quickly consolidating this large territory, Chen Mo immediately launched a new campaign.
A year later, Chen Mo had become the most powerful Lord within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, ruling over a vast expanse of land and commanding an invincible, unstoppable heavy armored Knights.
As the territory expanded, Chen Mo gradually shifted his focus to eliminating werewolves, and the Knights were used more for protecting the territory.
The original Knights of over a hundred men has expanded to over five hundred men, but most of them are not in the territory.
During this year, Chen Mo established a caravan, and many daily necessities and luxury goods such as soap, glass, and mirrors were sold to most parts of Europe under the protection of the powerful Knights. This earned him a lot of gold coins, which supported his military construction and the development of his territory, and he continued to expand to other places.
Chen Mo, who was carrying tons of gold in his caravan, was not short of money. The caravan was actually an intelligence organization he had set up.
They opened shops in major cities and traveled between territories to gather intelligence for him.
A familiar name finally came into Chen Mo's view.
Lord Victor!
