Hidden Danger

Every corner of the Castle bears the marks of their happy moments.

They met and fell in love here, secretly met, practiced swordsmanship together, and promised to become Knight together to eliminate werewolves.

Although he left, she believed that he would definitely come back. She would wait for him here, waiting for him to become a great Knight and come back to marry her!

But now, not only are her territory and Castle in jeopardy, but she herself is also coveted by this powerful Lord. She has no choice but to fight back with all her might!

At worst, I'll just die!

But Andrew, Amelia may not be able to wait for you to come back!

Thinking of this, Amelia suddenly stood up, drew the magnificent Knight Longsword from her waist, and looked at Chen Mo with a resolute expression, a fierce and determined aura emanating from her.

Chen Mo hadn't expected such a strong reaction from the other party; they were ready to turn hostile before he could even finish speaking.

Despite being pointed at with weapons by nearly a hundred Knight, he seemed completely unfazed, remaining calmly seated in his chair. He gazed serenely at Amelia, who had stood up, and stated the purpose of his visit directly.

"As the Lord of Knight Andrew, I have come here to propose marriage to him."

Chen Mo's words stunned everyone present.

"Knight Andrew?"

"Could it be...?"

All eyes were on the Knight who had been standing silently behind Chen Mo.

Amelia looked over with even greater excitement. Could it really be him?

Andrew was also somewhat bewildered. Chen Mo had brought him here alone, and he had originally thought it was to persuade him to surrender, but unexpectedly Chen Mo suddenly said he wanted to propose marriage.

He initially thought that his Lord had been captivated by Amelia's stunning beauty and wanted to possess her. Just as he was feeling tormented and conflicted, he heard Chen Mo say that he was proposing marriage to him.

Only then did Andrew realize that the Lord in coming here was not to persuade him to surrender, and even the purpose of this expedition was not to occupy the Marquis Leonard's Fief, but simply to propose marriage for him.

Thinking of this, Andrew was filled with excitement and strode over to Chen Mo.

After removing his helmet, Andrew knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and gave Chen Mo a solemn Knight salute.

Looking at this brave Knight who was so loyal to him, Chen Mo slowly nodded to him.

Andrew stood up solemnly, turned around, and strode towards Amelia was seated at the head of the table.

Upon seeing his face, the aloof and noble Amelia trembled involuntarily with excitement. Her beautiful eyes instantly turned red as she stared intently at Andrew's weathered face, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

Equally excited, Andrew quickly walked up to Amelia and stopped in front of her. After a deep gaze, Andrew, with tears in his eyes, embraced the woman he had longed for day and night.

Amelia's body stiffened, then went completely limp, burying her head in Andrew's broad shoulder. Even through the cold armor, the two could still feel the warmth and passion in each other's hearts.

After enduring the bitter wait following the departure of her lover, and facing the difficult situation of being attacked by a powerful enemy after her father's death, she initially thought that Chen Mo was using his power to force her into marriage. However, she never expected that her lover would return as Knight to marry her.

In Andrew's arms, Amelia felt a sense of security, as if she had finally found someone to rely on. All her grievances welled up in her heart, and at this moment, Amelia let go of all her strength, rested her head on Andrew's shoulder, and shed two lines of clear tears.

In the end, Amelia joined Chen Mo's forces with her nearly one hundred Knight. Like Victor, Chen Mo allowed her to continue commanding his troops.

Although the territory was still taken back, Chen Mo still preserved the Castle for her.

This time, besides carrying out missions such as escorting caravans and eliminating werewolves, and the Knight left behind to guard Blackrock Castle, Chen Mo only brought a little over two hundred people with him.

After some rest and reorganization, the group grew much larger, with Knights of over three hundred men, and set off again to return to Blackrock Castle.

Several days later, the Knights arrived at a valley. Unlike when they came, they were not in a hurry and chose an easier path.

Chen Mo rode his tall black Mercedes-Benz at the very front of the procession, while Andrew and Amelia rode side by side behind Chen Mo. Although they did not speak, their eyes, which occasionally turned to look at each other, still revealed a deep affection between them.

Behind them were four Knight whose armor was engraved with bronze emblems, one of whom was Victor.

After being forced to join Chen Mo's forces, Victor truly understood Chen Mo's power. In addition to his terrifying strength, the secret workshop in the Castle constantly produced all sorts of magical and powerful things. Some of these were sold at high prices through caravans as treasures and luxury items, while many more were only used and equipped within the Castle.

For example, their sturdy armor, sharp longswords, stirrups that make it easier for Knight to ride their warhorses, telescopes that allow them to see distant scenes, as well as many other amazing things they had never seen before, such as crossbows, pulleys, cement, and clocks, all of which were invented by their mysterious Lord.

The longer Victor stayed under Chen Mo's command, the more unfathomable Chen Mo seemed. In particular, his terrifying strength in splitting city gates with a sword and taking on a pack of werewolves single-handedly made him feel awe. Gradually, he completely accepted Chen Mo's status Lord and devoted himself to him wholeheartedly.

Victor sometimes wondered, what was the origin of their mysterious, powerful, and incredibly magical Lord? If the concept of aliens didn't exist in this era, Victor would definitely believe that Chen Mo was an alien!

In fact, many people in the territory regarded Chen Mo as a god and worshipped him.

Before Chen Mo appeared, they had been suffering from the ravages of war and the threats and slaughter of ferocious werewolves. They lived in hunger, hardship and fear every day, and their lives were extremely difficult.

Until Chen Mo appeared, the rampant werewolves were continuously wiped out, and they hadn't seen any werewolves around for a long time. Even if werewolves appeared anywhere, they would be quickly eliminated by their Lord.

War and famine were far removed from them. The Lord's Knights was incredibly powerful, and the territory continued to expand outward. The locations of wars were getting farther and farther away from them, and would never happen near them again.

The new agricultural tools and extremely low taxes have greatly improved their living conditions, making their current life something they never dared to dream of.

Everyone felt genuine gratitude and reverence for the Lord had brought them all this. In particular, the various miraculous legends about the Lord that circulated in the Castle made them regard Chen Mo as a god. How could an ordinary person be so powerful and magical?

The Lord must have seen the suffering of humanity and come here specifically to save them!

As Victor rode behind Chen Mo, he pondered whether Chen Mo was truly a god. It was hard for him to accept that a real human being beside him was the legendary god. But if not, how could he explain the many wonders Chen Mo possessed?

Chen Mo, who was at the very front of the group, had no idea what Victor was thinking behind him.

Now, two of the three vampire elders from Underworld have appeared, and he has brought them both under his command. Chen Mo feels that the appearance of the true Progenitor Vampire — Marcus —should not be far off.

He was Chen Mo's first real target, and the most important first link in Chen Mo's core plan.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Chen Mo, who was galloping, shouted loudly and reined in his warhorse. With a high-pitched neigh, the powerful black warhorse, which was much larger and more imposing than the other warhorses, quickly went from being extremely active to being extremely still, and stopped in a very short time.

This warhorse was originally one of the more than two hundred warhorses brought by Count Valen's Knights. In order to successfully break through the city gate, Chen Mo specially enhanced it with Improved Serum beforehand.

Although Chen Mo cut the bolts, the two doors were still very heavy. At the speed of a charging warhorse, an ordinary warhorse would have been smashed to pieces and died on the spot, making it impossible to quickly break open the doors.

However, this warhorse, after being enhanced, can...

So although it looks much bigger and more magnificent than an ordinary warhorse, its strength, speed, endurance and even intelligence are several times greater than those of an ordinary warhorse.

Chen Mo often rode it alone to places where large numbers of werewolves were found to hunt them down, and also to hone his swordsmanship.

When it runs, its speed easily exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, and its top speed can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour. Once its speed is fully unleashed, it can completely outrun modern cars.

Of course, in medieval Europe, ordinary cars couldn't even run that fast, and off-road vehicles were far from reaching such speeds. It can be said that this warhorse, Serum Enhancement, had surpassed all automobiles, with much greater acceleration and agility.

Chen Mo pulled on the reins, and the warhorse quickly came to a stop with its four strong legs exerting force.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had already created some distance between himself and the rest of the group, and since he had given the order in advance, the Knight behind him did not collide with him.

With the neighing of warhorses, the Knights stopped in unison behind Chen Mo and quickly went into alert mode, drawing their weapons and cautiously observing their surroundings, demonstrating extremely high combat prowess. It must be said that Chen Mo's training and cultivation of them had not been in vain.

After the group stopped, Chen Mo looked up at both sides of the valley. Countless tall and lush trees grew on the hillsides on both sides, and the scene inside could not be seen due to the dense branches and leaves.

But Chen Mo's expression was extremely solemn. This was the first time he had shown such a solemn expression since he transmigrated to the world of "Underworld".

It is clear that a great danger must be lurking in the forest.
