The moment Brandt Knight's Greatsword penetrated the barbarian's chest, Ryan had already rushed out. Don't forget that he was not only a noble, but also a powerful Bronze Knight, a knight more powerful than all the Bronze Knight here.

The Mithril Armor he wore made him fearless of the sharp weapons around him, but his power made the enemies in front of him tremble with fear. Knight's Greatsword quickly swung to kill one enemy after another, and the blood made his blood boil.

Seeing a nobleman coming towards him, these soldiers were already weakened, not to mention that Ryan seemed to be fighting harder and harder.

"Casto!"

Ryan roared and rushed towards Casto. The son of the earl was still immersed in the death of Gray.

A barbarian with Golden Knight strength died like this?

He died in Zero Crossing Prefecture. In such a remote place, someone could actually kill Gray alone.

Casto I can't figure it out, why?

Golden Knight, even in the entire empire, they can be regarded as nobles or not. They have the power to destroy a small town, and even the nobles will respect them.

Nobles like Baron must be respected even more, because according to the past classification, the center of the territory owned by Baron is nothing more than a small town.

But now, Gray died in the hands of a Baron.

Ryan No matter what Casto was thinking, he was so fast that he crossed a distance of 70 to 80 meters in three to five seconds and slashed towards Casto.

At this moment, a cold light was exposed from behind Casto's war horse, and it stabbed Ryan's throat in an instant. The sense of crisis at this moment made him familiar and made his heart beat wildly. At the moment when the rapier was about to touch him, he appeared sideways on the other side of the war horse.

The rapier penetrated the war horse's head. Because Casto and his war horse were in the middle, Ryan narrowly escaped the sword.

Then he saw the Catfolk assassin exposed from the shadows. After the exposure, the Catfolk assassin should have fled away, but the presence of Casto prevented him from retreating.

At the same time, Casto was shocked to realize that death had passed him by, and he fell to the ground.

"Assassins lose the advantage of shadow, what's the point?"

Ryan stared at the Catfolk assassin, but did not move rashly. The opponent seemed to be at the level of Bronze Knight. The previous sword almost killed him. Apart from that, he didn't know what the assassin had other abilities.

"Kill him!"

Casto was still frightened. Just now Ryan actually came to kill him. At this moment, he was extremely angry.

The Catfolk assassin came towards Ryan, but his superb sword skills allowed Ryan to catch the Catfolk assassin's disadvantage.

"Your strength is too weak."

Once he was alert, Ryan only needed to protect a few vital points to become invincible. The Catfolk assassin's rapier combined with his strength could only make a scratch on Mithril Armor.

Even Ryan's speed was not slow. In a moment of opportunity, he directly punched out, and the Catfolk assassin flew out and hit Casto's side, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

If it were a Apprentice Knight, he would not lose his combat effectiveness after receiving this punch, but the Catfolk assassin could only stand up with difficulty, and even his steps became messy.

Looking at Catfolk who had no fighting power, Ryan finally understood why they could only be assassins.

He raised his long sword and charged. The Catfolk assassin hesitated for a long time and still did not dare to escape. But this time, Knight's Greatsword's strength and sharpness cut off the thin sword in his hand and also cut off his head.

Blood fell on Casto's face. The earl's son was not weak himself. Bronze Knight's strength meant that he shouldn't be in such a mess, but it could be seen that he really had not experienced a few fights.

The long sword fell in front of Casto's neck, and Ryan announced the outcome of the war.

Nearly five hundred people dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground. Even now, Casto's army still had few casualties. If they continued, they would win the war, especially after Brandt also killed Gray and became extremely weak. However, this army was defeated because of the threat to Casto's life.

"Your biggest mistake is being too far away from your army and too close to me."

After Ryan finished speaking, the soldier beside him had already taken out the reins and tied up Casto.

Perhaps he is overconfident in the barbarians around him. If Casto wants to rely on victory in the war, he should not leave his army at all. Even here, if he lets his soldiers fight Ryan's soldiers head-on and hides behind, it will be difficult for Ryan to rush in front of him.

But the key is that this is an extraordinary world. Brandt and Gray, the battle between the knights and the barbarians vacated a large area of the battlefield, and Ryan found an opportunity and passed through the battlefield as if it were no one's land.

This war was not won by Brandt killing Gray, but by the outcome between the two nobles.

Boom!

The stone blocking the middle of the canyon was pushed down, and Ryan led hundreds of prisoners through the canyon to the front battlefield. The shouts of death here were also coming to an end. When Ryan arrived, it was completely over.

"Lord Ryan!"

Lynn, covered in blood, came to Ryan and looked at him with blazing eyes.

"Well done."

Ryan patted Lynn on the shoulder. Before that, he needed an army commander with strong opinions and status to stay to ensure that the soldiers did not collapse and flee. Lynn was The only candidate, after all, just like Casto's army has no grassroots officers, Ryan's army also has no grassroots officers. If no one steps forward without his command, the army will be scattered.

"Where is the Viscount? Call him down."

In this war, Kristan also has a mission, which is to throw stones above the canyon.

Soon, Kristan, whose face was flushed with excitement, came to the battlefield. He looked at the restrained Casto, his eyes full of pride.

"Mr. Casto, I have cut off your escape. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Hmph!"

Casto snorted coldly, unwilling to pay attention to Kristan at all.

"You don't think this war was directed by you, do you?"

Kristan hesitated, but Ryan looked at Casto.

"I asked the Viscount to personally judge and direct the most important part of this war, and the result was just as the Viscount thought. If the Viscount hadn't blocked your army, how could we have won?"

"The Viscount is the one who made the most contribution to this war, and I am just a soldier."

Kristan After listening to this, my whole body felt a little higher.
