The Knights' Annihilation

In this era of war, warhorses were an extremely scarce resource, considered top-tier strategic materials. Nobles who owned large numbers of warhorses would never sell them, and even those with sufficient wealth would find it difficult to acquire a large quantity of warhorses.

Among the nearby territories, only the Great Lord Count Valen possesses a large number of warhorses. Chen Mo's offer to purchase a large number of warhorses at a high price and his request for them to send escorts suggest that Count Valen might agree in order to ascertain his background.

As Chen Mo had predicted, Count Valen not only agreed to his request to purchase warhorses, but also sent nearly half of his elite forces to escort him. The moment Chen Mo saw the escorting Knight, Chen Mo already knew Count Valen's plan.

Chen Mo only showed a slight weakness, and these arrogant Knight, blinded by gold, couldn't wait to attack him.

This was exactly what Chen Mo hoped for. Since the surrounding nobles had already set their sights on him, there was no need to remain in hiding any longer. In any case, he was almost ready and could begin the next phase of his plan.

Even if they didn't make a move, Chen Mo wouldn't let them leave. In Chen Mo's plan, this group of Knight would be the first step in Chen Mo expansion outwards.

However, compared to them leaving Chen Mo voluntarily only to be intercepted and killed, this current approach is clearly more in Chen Mo's interest and more conducive to mobilizing public morale.

Chen Mo had also witnessed the performance of Andrew and the territory guards. He was very satisfied with their loyalty and quick thinking, which showed that his training and development had been effective and that his observations of them had not been wrong.

The enemy had launched their attack as Chen Mo had planned, and all their objectives had been achieved. Naturally, Chen Mo would not watch his loyal soldiers die at the hands of the enemy.

Although their strength, under Chen Mo's training, was not much inferior to that of their opponents, cavalry had a natural advantage over infantry. The powerful impact of Mercedes-Benz warhorses was something that ordinary people could not withstand. Coupled with their advantages in speed, height, and armor, Chen Mo's soldiers would inevitably suffer heavy casualties in a head-on collision.

The group of Knight were only a dozen meters away from Chen Mo, and it only took a few seconds for the horses to start and charge over.

From the moment the Knight drew their swords and launched their attack until Andrew and the others reacted, only a short time had passed.

At this moment, dozens of warhorses, driven by Knight, had just begun their charge with neighing. Andrew and his companions had just reached Chen Mo, and the guards had only managed to rush forward a few steps.

Just then, Chen Mo suddenly moved.

With a powerful push off the ground, Chen Mo leaped diagonally forward, soaring over the heads of Andrew and the others blocking his way, covering a distance of more than ten meters, and landing directly in front of the charging Knight.

The two Knights at the front of the group, seeing Chen Mo charge forward, didn't have time to be surprised by Chen Mo exaggerated jumping ability. They instinctively slashed their raised swords down at Chen Mo.

Facing two longswords slashing at him from both sides, Chen Mo's expression remained calm, but his eyes flashed with a cold and sharp light.

With a thought, the King's Sword instantly appeared in his hand. Ignoring the two sharp swords that were rapidly slashing towards him, Chen Mo unleashed a horizontal slash through the air.

The incredibly expensive Knight Longsword and sturdy armor were as fragile as paper before the indestructible King's Sword. The longsword swept across, cutting the two Knights, along with their swords and heavy armor, in two.

As the warhorses jolted, their upper bodies fell off the horses' backs, while their lower bodies remained on the steeds, galloping forward together.

However, they had only just begun their charge, and their warhorses hadn't even gotten going yet. Now that the Knight were no longer in charge, the two warhorses began to slow down and soon came to a stop, carrying two half-corpses on their backs, snorting in confusion.

Chen Mo's figure did not pause at all, and he continued to swing his sword and kill the Knight behind him.

Although these Knights were riding warhorses, it did not give them any advantage. Chen Mo was tall and had long arms, and his King's Sword was more than a meter long, so he could easily hit the Knight on their warhorses.

While dodging the charging warhorses, Chen Mo relentlessly hacked and slashed through the group of Knight.

The Knight who had just begun their charge were completely disrupted by Chen Mo's sudden attack. Seeing Chen Mo charge into their midst, they all reined in their horses, turned them around, and surrounded and attacked Chen Mo.

However, this meant they lost their greatest advantage: they could no longer utilize the speed and impact of their warhorses. Instead, their agility was greatly reduced as they were grouped together and hindered each other, making it easier for Chen Mo to attack.

The Knight crowded together, trying to surround Chen Mo and hack him to death with their swords. But Chen Mo neither dodged nor forced his way in. He slashed at all the weapons that came at him and cut them in half. Before they could change their weapons, he would launch a powerful attack with each sword strike, each one capable of taking at least one life.

Normally incredibly sturdy armor, capable of withstanding almost any attack, proved as fragile as paper under Chen Mo's sword. Every Knight who died was killed instantly by having his armor pierced.

In an instant, swords flashed among the Knight, and countless drops of blood were scattered everywhere with the sword light. The neighing of warhorses, the shouts of humans, and the pitiful screams of the dying echoed throughout the entire manor.

The battle began suddenly and ended just as quickly. By the time Andre and the others reacted and rushed up with the soldiers of the territory's guard, the battlefield was already a river of blood.

Dozens of warhorses wandered aimlessly, carrying corpses with only legs and half of their torsos on their backs. The blood flowing from the corpses had already stained their backs red.

The ground was littered with broken weapons, shield fragments, and dozens of Knights' corpses, their armor and bodies cleaved in two.

A powerful Knights, consisting of more than twenty fully armed Knight and more than forty Knight squires, capable of fighting against more than a dozen werewolves, was completely wiped out by Chen Mo in an instant.

Nearly half of Count Valen's Knight force was thus wiped out, and nearly two hundred excellent warhorses were given away for nothing.

With warhorses, a cavalry could be formed. In addition to Andrew nine men, who already possessed the strength of Knight, the hundreds of guards were no less capable than ordinary Knight' squires.

It must be said that Chen Mo outsmarted Count Valen quite well this time, and through this scheme, he achieved several goals in one fell swoop.

That year, in addition to training his soldiers, Chen Mo did a lot of other preparatory work. Now the time is ripe, and it's time to start his plan.
