Hidden Corners

Havina's disappearance soon attracted a group of scholars from the Knowledge Tower to investigate.

After three weeks of continuous investigation, the scholars had suspicions, but without evidence, they could not find any evidence of Li Chengyi's crime, so they had no choice but to leave.

Not only that, the White Tower Master's investigation team also lingered around for a long time, and summoned Li Chengyi to assist in the investigation.

But it is a pity that at this time, Li Chengyi had already gone to the barbarian front line and began to formally fight against the barbarians.

According to imperial law, fighting against the barbarians is the first obligation at all times, and all other chores must be compromised.

The investigation was therefore shelved.

Outside Green Screen Town.

The soldiers belonging to the Black Fort held heavy shields, and there were crossbowmen at the rear to take aim. Forming a square array, moving forward continuously.

On the wide snowy plain in front, groups of tall barbarians were also in the same formation, and they were also ready.

The appearance of the barbarians is like a primitive man with a height of 2.5 meters. They wear animal skin skirts, both men and women have their breasts exposed, and they hold huge sticks that are simply polished from trees. Most of the people had their teeth turned out and their nostrils turned upward.

From a distance, you can smell the strong stench of feces mixed with sweat.

"Kill!" Knight Milton and the other three knights were all riding on horseback, holding huge lances in their hands, aiming at the barbarians.

Suddenly, the phalanxes moved slowly towards the opposite side.

There are only ten people in each square.

There were only twenty square formations in total, spread out. From a distance, they looked very different from the battles in Li Chengyi's memory, like children playing house.

But this is indeed the war of this world.

Li Chengyi stood far behind, using the telescope made by the mages to look at the battle situation.

Although he doesn't need it, his powerful eyesight will eventually cover up.

Ordinary people in this world do not have any extraordinary abilities, and there are no cases that exceed their limits.

Only different races will have huge differences in physical fitness, such as barbarians and ordinary imperial people, elves and imperial people.

The old butler Buck was beside him, and there were several guard soldiers not far away to protect his safety.

"Is this a barbarian? He looks quite strong," Li Chengyi said thoughtfully.

After gaining enough new knowledge from Havina, the flames in his sword furnace were further improved, and he was very close to two-tenths.

"Yes, these are barbarians. They are extremely powerful, slow, and not very intelligent, but they have powerful beast instincts and are very difficult opponents." Old Buck replied.

At this time, the military formations of both sides were officially close together.

ah! ! !

The barbarians roared and rushed towards the Black Castle army. They were carrying pieces of crossbow arrows, and their bodies were pierced by arrows from time to time, and they fell to the ground.

But these barbarians have nothing to fear.

Even under the sharp crossbow arrows, their powerful bodies could not resist the piercing arrows.

But the casualties and pain only made them more violent.

Without food, they would still starve to death. Instead of doing so, it was better to work hard and leave more supplies for their descendants.

Robbery is the only way.

The clanging collision began, accompanied by the muffled sound of a giant stick hitting the heavy shield.

The barbarians fell one by one, but they rushed forward one after another without fear at all. They quickly rushed forward through the gap where the crossbowmen had finished shooting their arrows.

The heavy shield soldiers were smashed open one by one, and the barbarians grabbed them with one hand and smashed them to death.

However, the Black Fort Army was also from local residents, and most of them had blood feuds with the barbarians. At this time, they also resisted desperately and did not know how to retreat.

The roars and the shouts of the barbarians were heard together.

Li Chengyi looked at this scene and frowned as he watched soldiers being smashed to death with their shields raised.

"Without the crossbow arrows, we can't defeat them," he said solemnly.

"The knights are ready to charge." Old Buck looked calm as he was used to.

Soon, in the specially reserved side gap, four knights holding lances sprinted over.

The horses were fat and strong, and when they sprinted at full speed with their whole body covered in armor, and the knights were fully armed with heavy armor, the overall collision force was enough to weigh tons.

This first impact killed four barbarians on the spot.

Throwing away their lances, the four began to use the throwing lances hung on the sides of their horses to extend the distance and carry out projectile attacks.

Throwing spears and flying shots killed the barbarians one after another.

The impact caused by the four of them in a short period of time actually suffocated the momentum of the entire barbarian army.

But the barbarians were not fools. They quickly wrapped the gravel in animal skins and threw it out fiercely.

One of the four knights was soon hit and his horse fell to the ground.

The knight staggered to his feet, drew his sword, and retreated under the cover of the soldiers.

Fortunately, knights are different from ordinary soldiers. In a short fight, even without horses, he stabbed two barbarians to death with his sword skills alone.

"How many barbarians are there in total?" Li Chengyi asked with a frown in the distance.

"According to the scouts' judgment, there are about three hundred people, and there are already half the number here. But the key is that the barbarian warriors haven't appeared yet." Old Buck replied in a deep voice.

"What was the situation before?" Li Chengyi asked.

"In the past, attacks would usually be led by a barbarian warrior, and a tribe would divide many forces to attack many surrounding territories. We are just one of them. Mainly, Viscount Tislan will bear more pressure. The barbarians Mages and so on will go that way." Old Buck said.

"Barbarian mage." Li Chengyi thought thoughtfully.

Bang!

At this time, facing the intermittent killings of the knights, although the barbarians had few casualties, their formation was obviously disrupted and their rhythm was disrupted.

So they began to get confused.

At this moment, in the center of the barbarian battle formation, a three-meter-tall black-skinned barbarian, wearing simple hard leather armor and an ox bone helmet, rushed out of the camp holding a huge white shield studded with bone spurs in both hands.

"Kill! For the tribe!!"

The barbarian roared and rushed towards here. Its huge size caused slight earth vibrations just by sprinting.

"Warrior! Warrior! Warrior!!" The barbarians cheered.

On the Black Fort Army side, most of them changed their colors.

"The barbarian warriors are coming!"

Milton and the three of them got on their horses and adjusted their angles at the same time, accelerated their sprint, and crashed into the warrior.

Bang! Bang! Bang! !

The full-speed collision of the three knights only made the warrior take a few steps back, and then raised his shield to resist.

Li Chengyi watched the knights and barbarian warriors fight from a distance, observing their movements, tricks, and reaction habits.

We have a rough estimate of its approximate strength and speed protection.

"About three times the strength of an ordinary person, more than twice the speed, and the protection is equivalent to cowhide." He judged in a low voice.

Old Buck was a little confused and looked at his lord talking to himself.

Bang!

There was another loud noise, and one of the three horseback knights was unable to dodge, and was hit hard on the shoulder by a giant shield from the warrior. He half-knelt on the ground and screamed in pain.

"No! Knight of Hammer!!" Old Buck's expression changed drastically.

The four knights in the territory are the cornerstone of the entire territory. Once one is lost, a lot of power will be lost to deal with the barbarians.

Although the barbarian warrior was also hit with a sword in the chest and abdomen, and was stabbed with a hand-deep bloody wound, he casually grabbed a piece of soil and stuffed it into the wound to stop the bleeding, roared and continued to fight.

The frozen soil in the snow is solid and hard, and it is also cold and has a paralyzing effect, making people unable to feel pain.

Without one knight, the remaining three could only follow the previous tactics, surrounding the surrounding warriors.

"Forget it, it's too slow."

Li Chengyi looked at it for a while and felt that he understood it almost.

He walked forward casually and drew the double-edged sword from his back.

"Wait a minute, Lord Baron! What are you trying to do!?" Old Buck was startled and quickly stepped forward to try to stop him.

But as soon as the figure flashed in front of him, Li Chengyi suddenly disappeared.

Looking back, he saw that Li Chengyi had entered the battlefield ahead and was walking lightly through the Black Fort Army formation, as if in a deserted land, no one could touch him.

Not long after, he rushed out of the imperial army formation and entered the front line of strangulation.

A barbarian roared and swept over with his giant stick.

The huge tree sticks brought out the howling cold wind, wrapped in the wind and snow, and smashed down on his head and face.

"It looks strong, but is actually weak."

Li Chengyi stepped aside and accurately avoided the blow, and he casually slashed the giant sword in his hand.

laugh.

A huge gash was opened in the barbarian's chest and abdomen, and his internal organs flowed out.

Before the barbarian fell down screaming, Li Chengyi walked through and appeared in front of the second barbarian.

The sword flashed and another person fell.

In less than two seconds, two people died.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth

His speed is getting faster and faster. At first, it was one speed per second. Later, he was almost sprinting. As long as he touched the side, he would fall to the ground instantly.

In the wind and snow, Li Chengyi was like a thin silver-gray line, penetrating straight through the entire barbarian army formation, and soon came to the front of the barbarian warriors.

"Get out of the way!" He raised his sword to shake off the blood on it, and stopped when he was still five meters away from the warrior.

Knight Milton and the other three were stunned at this time.

Although they had previously estimated the strength and talent of their lord, when they actually saw this scene, several people could not help but tremble in their hearts.

too fast!

In just ten seconds, nearly twenty barbarians fell to the ground and died!

At this rate, are you afraid that your own lord alone will be able to completely wipe out all the barbarians here? ?

Don’t need help from others at all? ?

"Milton?" The other knights looked at Milton, who was leading the team.

"Guard the surroundings, trust your lord!" Milton was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and chose to trust his lord.

Li Chengyi was taught by him little by little, but he had not been able to see through his strength a long time ago.

Anyway, very early on, no one in the Black Castle could force the Lord to his full strength.

In the Black Castle, Lord Baron's strength is like a mystery, bottomless.

It can be said that Baron Carlos is the strongest knight master he has ever seen. His terrifying skills and physical fitness, which are as bottomless as a deep pool, made him choose to believe it at this moment.

The other knights hesitated for a moment, and then dispersed according to the order, directing the soldiers to fight against the other barbarians to avoid disturbing this side.

At this time, Old Buck in the distance also clenched his palms and looked at this place from a distance, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Humans and barbarians are fighting against each other. This is not unprecedented, but it is mostly ordinary barbarians.

Those who can challenge the barbarian warriors in a one-on-one fight are basically the extremely powerful brilliant knights in the empire.

Another title on the knights is the Brilliant Knight, which is an honorary title given by the empire to some extremely powerful knights.

The Brilliant Knight is also known as the Grand Knight in many places.

He is a master who has honed his skills to the pinnacle.

But how old was Baron Carlos at this time? No matter how talented he is in his skills, he can never reach the peak.

Old Buck wanted to yell angrily and ask the other knights to help call the lord back.

But he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing the showdown between the lord and the barbarian warriors.

He never dreamed that Baron Carlos, who had only agreed to come and just watch the battle, would actually draw his sword and enter the scene after a disagreement, and then rushed to the opponent's strongest barbarian warrior for a duel.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have dared to bring the Baron to watch the battle!

Unfortunately, it was too late at this time.

‘The ancestors bless you. The ancestors of Lord Okla bless you. Please make sure Lord Carlos comes back alive! ! ’ Old Buck was trembling all over and kept mumbling to himself.

The center of the battlefield at this time.

Li Chengyi observed the barbarian warriors in front of him with great interest.

"You have a very good physique. Do you want to follow me from now on? As long as you obey, I can promise not to kill you."

He spoke clearly, but what he said made the knights who were closer around him look at each other, not knowing what to say.

The barbarian warrior couldn't understand what he was saying at all. He roared angrily, raised his big shield and smashed it down at Li Chengyi.

Uh-huh!

Li Chengyi was as light as a fallen leaf and accurately avoided the heavy blow of the big shield.

"Don't agree? Still don't understand?"

The giant sword in his hand easily turned out a sword flower.

What responded to him was the barbarian warrior's angry sweep.

Amid the roar, the giant shield swept across Li Chengyi's position, but missed the person.

Li Chengyi did a somersault and landed lightly behind the barbarian warrior.

Jumping more than three meters.

This exaggerated jumping ability stunned the surrounding knights and soldiers.

"Don't you want to? Then just go and die."

The giant sword stabbed backhand in his hand.

Poof!

The leather armor on the barbarian warrior was like paper and was easily pierced by this sword.

The tip of the sword penetrated the flesh, flesh, and bones, and emerged from the warrior's chest, and then was pulled out calmly, making a slight friction sound.
