"I... I'm going to die?"
Knight Mars stared at his chest, his face filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that a confident conspiracy to kill a commoner would lead him to this predicament!
"Goodbye and best of luck, thanks for your experience!"
Sulu said something he couldn't understand and then withdrew.
Whoosh!
He was incredibly fast, and he also had Shadow Clone as cover.
In an instant, his shadow seemed to fill the entire swamp, wantonly slaughtering the knights bound by vines.
"No!"
Andrews, entangled in the vines, roared in despair.
After the effects of the two spells wore off, only a pile of corpses remained on the ground.
How dare you?
His right hand trembled as he pointed at Sulu.
This is a company of the Northern Knights! That's almost a tenth of the entire Knights' strength!
It can be said that this loss has reduced the Duke of Wolf Castle's strength by almost one-tenth!
Isn't this Wizard afraid of the Duke's wrath?
"Why wouldn't we dare? Killing one is the same as killing them all... Since you dare to surround and kill me, you should be prepared to be wiped out."
Sulu toyed with the dagger in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at the Attribute Panel.
"Villain!"
Andrews was at a loss for words.
In reality, his biggest problem with Sulu was that their values were incompatible.
We're from completely different worlds, so how can we possibly use the same rules of conduct?
"Are you the Bronze Knight?"
Sulu glanced indifferently at Andrews: "It's a pity... the ' Silver Hand ' of the Northern Knights didn't come in person."
"If Lord Rophis were here..."
Andrews roared angrily, sword in hand, and lunged forward.
After witnessing Sulu's speed, he realized he had no chance of escaping!
Sulu flashed to Andrews' side, presenting him with a dagger.
"Drink!"
Andrews neither dodged nor avoided, his waist gleaming with a bronze hue.
Sizzle!
The tip of the dagger grazed the skin, barely breaking through, but not penetrating much deeper.
Instead, the other party roared and swung his sword in retaliation.
When!
The dagger clashed with the greatsword, producing a crisp sound. Although it managed to chip a nick in the greatsword, Sulu's figure floated backward like a piece of paper.
"A great opportunity!"
Andrews' eyes lit up. "Although your speed is unpredictable, your strength is still not as great as mine! The Savage Bear Secret Technique!"
He roared, and the sound waves spread in all directions, carrying a somewhat intimidating effect.
At the same time, his previously bulging muscles taut and bulged, transforming him into a humanoid bear, charging towards Sulu with unstoppable momentum. "Secret Technique - Cross Star Sword!"
Although he didn't know why the Wizard had gone mad and engaged him in close combat, Andrews immediately seized the opportunity and unleashed a terrifying burst of power!
Sizzle!
The terrifying blade pierced the air as he swung his greatsword in an instant, the tip seemingly enveloping the entire space around Sulu.
Ping pong!
The greatsword and dagger clashed once more, Sulu's figure flew into the air.
"Court death!"
Upon seeing this, Andrews was overjoyed, thinking that his opponent had made a foolish move!
After all, being in mid-air and unable to change direction quickly makes you the perfect target!
Even if the opponent is Wizard, or even someone who can fly, they will certainly not be very agile at the beginning!
This is the opportunity!
"Secret Technique - Slaughter Slash!"
He accurately predicted his opponent's location, and a wisp of blood-red battle aura appeared on the blade, like an octopus tentacle, continuously emanating outwards.
Battle aura leaves the body!
This is a realm accessible only to Silver Knight!
Swish!
A smile also appeared on Sulu's lips as he hovered in mid-air. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, as if stepping on a transparent step in the void, and used it to gain momentum for a turn.
The next moment, Andrews made a desperate gamble, his confident sword strike missing its mark, the crimson aura of battle light slicing through the void.
"What happened?"
Andrews was shocked, and then felt a sharp pain in his back as a dagger was plunged into a vital spot.
When he was using his full power to unleash the secret technique of separating his battle qi from his body, he could no longer use ' Temporary Solidification ' to protect his body.
[XP+180]
Sulu glanced at the Attribute Panel. Earlier, after accumulating 400 experience points, he had upgraded the passive skill of Agile Footwork to LV4!
[Agile Footwork LV4: Increases Shadow Stealth and Aura Concealment abilities; gains the ' Air Dance Step ' effect!]
The so-called "Air Dance Step" is the ability that Sulu used to trick Andrews earlier; it allows one to freely use momentum to dash or change direction in the air.
Although due to level restrictions, one can only make about three turns during a single aerial maneuver, a single misjudgment is enough to kill someone, let alone three?
With his current passive ability [Agile Footwork LV4], Sulu is confident that no city wall in the world can contain him!
"Really... why bother?"
He gazed at Andrews's corpse, sighed, selected a fine warhorse, a set of armor and a knight's sword, and continued his journey south.
King's Road gradually returned to calm.
Soon, a passing traveler saw this scene and was first so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Then, his eyes lit up as he rushed over, searching every gold coin, copper coin, and piece of armor on the dead bodies... If he had encountered a greedy farmer, he might have even stripped them of their clothes.
Of course, this passenger wasn't having an easy time either.
He arrived at Wolf Castle along the main road and was immediately arrested and subjected to rigorous interrogation because of some items on his person bearing the insignia of the Northern Knights.
Before long, a group of knights hurriedly arrived at the battlefield.
The leader was a knight in silver armor, only about thirty years old, handsome, with long platinum hair that shimmered in the sunlight, making him look like a god cast in silver.
His name and title were renowned throughout the Northern Territory.
' Silver Light ', ' Silver Hand ', ' Baron Bia ', 'The Most Talented Knight in the Northern Territory ', ' Northern Knights '!
He is Rophis Bia!
A third-tier Silver Knight!
But at this moment, the frosty expression on Rophis's face frightened the attendant beside him, who stammered, "My lord... we have found the bodies of Lords Andrews, Mars, and Roli..."
Andrews ' squadron was wiped out, and another jazz player was also killed!
One-tenth of the entire Northern Knights ' military strength was lost, perhaps even more!
"How many years has it been..."
Rophis's voice was icy, like the cold of the North: "How many years has it been since such a heinous incident occurred in the North? The murderer must be punished!"
"In the name of the Silver Light!"
"Grown ups!"
At this moment, more detailed intelligence was delivered. A Black Iron Knight approached and bowed humbly. "Based on the scene and the corpses... we found signs of witchcraft injuries on them. There are also signs of combat. Judging from the wounds, the opponent used a short weapon such as a dagger, and was very agile!"
"So, the murderer was a Wizard? Or perhaps a Thief as well?"
Rophis said calmly, "Andrews' rash decision to lead the entire squadron into battle must have some purpose. I need answers by tonight!"
