Magic Industrial Age

On the battlefield, the first to collide with these knights were naturally the fleeing Mad Wolf Bandit Gang.

These beast-kin were agile and swift, instinctively running towards familiar territory, naturally along the slope, intending to escape into the forest.

But their luck was clearly not on their side!

The knights charged out just as they were running head-on, and without any further ado, or even hesitation.

Greatswords swung, directly cutting through them.

Warhorses with demonic beast bloodlines possessed incredible stamina, able to leap even through forests, carrying powerful knights who charged, crashed, and slashed…

Almost everywhere they went, wolf corpses littered the ground, soaked in blood.

With a howl, the wolf king of the beast-kin could no longer bear it, howling and driving the pack to evade.

However, the knights did not let them off, but split into twenty or thirty riders, scattering and chasing them everywhere.

Their speed was swift, their attacks ruthless, showing no mercy.

Even more knights drew bows and notched arrows, bowstrings vibrating, arrows piercing the air, directly killing the wolves that had fled the farthest.

At this point, the wolf king realized that these knights truly intended to exterminate them, leaving none alive.

He could no longer restrain himself, anger rising from his heart, standing upright and transforming into a half-human, half-wolf form.

Then, he howled to the sky.

Woo-ooh!

Woo-ooh-ooh!

In response, countless beast-kin wolves echoed his call.

They no longer fled, but with the howls, their eyes suddenly turned crimson, and bloodthirsty madness replaced their limited rationality.

Beast blood coursed through their bodies, veins bulging as their forms rapidly expanded.

These wolf beasts were originally only about one meter twenty or thirty in height, and two meters in length, like larger wolfhounds.

But now, they all swelled to nearly two meters tall, three to four meters long, covered in thick fur, looking terrifying and dreadful!

However, upon closer inspection, blood seeped between their fur, clearly indicating that this form was a desperate measure.

Immediately afterward, the group of wolf beasts rushed from all directions, their speed greatly increased, and their strength greatly enhanced.

Whether charging, tearing, or clawing, they swarmed forward, and finally achieved some results.

Not all the knights were above Tier 2, and two or three apprentice knights were caught off guard and directly knocked down.

Falling from their warhorses, their heavy armor made it difficult to get up, and they could only wave their longswords on the ground, struggling to escape the wolf beasts.

However, this successfully angered the knights who hadn't yet attacked, and after someone issued an order, the other knights spurred their horses to charge.

They wielded their knightly greatswords like the scythes of death, repeatedly reaping the lives of the wolf beasts.

Until finally, a knight led a five-man squad, directly crushing the wolf king's guard and beheading the wolf king.

By this point, only ten minutes had passed since the knights had appeared, and these beast-kin bandit groups had been almost completely wiped out.

The strength shown was evident!

On the other side,

The outbound cavalry squad and heavy infantry had already returned, but they did not relax in the slightest.

Under the command of Commander Sike, they simply cleared away the wolf corpses, reinforced the wagon formation, with heavy infantry defending each position, and cavalry waiting in the inner circle.

The spears were raised again, turning back into a battle hedgehog.

At this moment, Luo Yi rode forward to the side of Commander Sike Francis.

Sike tilted his head slightly, his rugged face furrowed with a frown, and he asked, "Lord Luo Yi, are these knights friend or foe?"

"I don't know either!"

Luo Yi shook his head slowly and added: "However, they are more likely to be enemies than friends, here to take my life!"

Sike frowned even more tightly: "Our wagon formation can stand firm against those beast-kin, but against the charge of heavily armored knights, I'm afraid it won't hold."

"If the wagon formation is broken, in such open terrain, we will be lambs to the slaughter."

Even though Sike had prepared himself mentally, he did not expect to be facing a knightly order so soon.

Luo Yi pursed his lips slightly and said, "Commander Sike, don't worry, if we really face them, I have some preparations."

"Can you reveal a little, so we can coordinate later."

"You'll know when the time comes."

As they spoke, the corpses of the wolves were scattered all over the ground, and with the flow of blood, it seemed that the beast-kin virus was also thinning out.

As a result, each wolf beast turned into a broken human corpse, all with distorted faces, wide eyes, and blood overflowing from their features, dying tragically.

When they were wolf beasts, it didn't feel like much, but when they were all turned into human corpses, densely packed and dilapidated, it looked terrifying.

Of course, the knights didn't feel uncomfortable at all, they spurred their warhorses again, lined up and moved forward, constantly approaching the wagon formation.

They were clearly just spurring their horses forward, but the sound of the hooves on the ground was like thunder, and the knightly order of a hundred people exuded the iron-blooded aura of thousands of troops.

Luo Yi felt his breath catch in his throat.

At this moment, he realized the power of the knightly order. Although in the Habsburg Empire, they were dismissed as remnants of the old era.

However, they had their own merits to maintain the foundation of the Old Continent's rule for countless years.

However, at this moment, Luo Yi also entered a strange state.

He could clearly feel the resolute killing intent coming towards him.

The orders those knights received were definitely not to relieve him or escort him, but simply to kill him.

He could also clearly distinguish the frantic heartbeats, the frantically secreted sweat, the heavy breathing, and the unease in the hearts of the surrounding mercenaries.

Even Commander Sike on the side seemed to have a hint of fear in his heart, but he hid it well.

Almost instinctively, Luo Yi knew that this was the special ability that the [Lion King's Peerage] had brought him.

[God's Sigh] had various effects, and this [Lion King's Peerage] naturally had them as well, but they manifested in a more peculiar way.

It seemed that only on this battlefield, among the army, feeling the emotions in everyone's hearts, did he have the ability to mobilize them.

At this moment, Luo Yi suddenly thought of the Raymond family's motto.

The Lion Family: brave, fearless, steadfast, heroic, and invincible!

If he wanted to, he could make his heart extremely firm, and he could do the same for others.

This ability was somewhat similar to the aura of the knightly order?

Various thoughts surged in his mind, but before Luo Yi could think deeply, he saw that a hundred knights had stopped their horses a thousand meters away.

Although there were only a hundred knights, just the pause alone made him feel their discipline.

It was also at this time that the knight spurred his horse and flashed to both sides, leaving a wide enough passage.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a fierce but strange howl came.

Snort!

Snort, snort!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the end of the field of vision, another knight spurred his mount and strode forward.

However, his mount was actually a demonic beast in the shape of a wild boar, huge in size, comparable to an elephant, with a pair of fangs turned outwards, like two long knives, with traces of blood on them.

Its four hooves looked short, but they were extremely thick. Each time it stepped on the ground, its astonishing weight pressed down, bringing the vibration of the earth.

And the knight who could drive this kind of demonic beast mount naturally had his extraordinary qualities.

Although the Wild Boar Viscount was fat, wearing plate armor, he looked a little strange, like a canned good.

But his weapon, the square-headed hammer, had thick barbs on all four corners, and the pure steel handle was extremely long, a typical heavy-headed and light-footed weapon.

Such a weapon would be difficult for an ordinary knight to pick up, but in this person's hands, his short, thick fingers held it as if it were a light blade of grass.

He rode the wild boar, seemingly casual and leisurely, but when the hundred knights saw him, their morale rose like oil on a raging fire, constantly climbing.

But he did not stop, but crossed the knightly order and continued forward, constantly approaching.

It was also at this moment that the maid of the Norman Grand Duchess, the pretty girl Eva Freke, appeared beside Luo Yi.

She said: "Viscount Joey Evans, the owner of the Bamboo Territory in Redwood Province, and the strongest viscount in Redwood Province, without exception.

The Evans family has a complete inheritance of the Wild Boar Breathing Technique. If you are successful in cultivation, you can get the power of the wild boar. The charging and brute force are one of the best knight breathing techniques."

"However, all the Evans Viscounts are known for being unreasonable. Once they are sure of something, there is no changing it. They belong to the stubborn faction among the stubborn!"

"The Duchy placed him here to a large extent to guard against the Habsburg Empire.

If the Empire makes any movements, with this person's character, he will definitely not give an inch."

Luo Yi tilted his head slightly and asked: "Do you think he can stop the Empire's army?"

The pretty girl answered without hesitation: "How is that possible?! But with him, he should be able to buy some reaction time for the Duchy."

Luo Yi said again: "Then what do you think he is here for?"

"Of course to kill you!"

The pretty girl still answered without hesitation, paused, and then said: "And kill us! He won't let any of us go!"

"Then, he will erase all traces and will not admit that we passed by here."

"So there is no proof of death?!"

Luo Yi was not surprised at all and asked again: "Is he not afraid of the Norman Grand Duke's pursuit and liquidation?"

"Young master, you still don't understand the rules between nobles. A vassal's vassal is not my vassal.

Therefore, this Wild Boar Viscount only needs to give an explanation to the Marquis he is loyal to.

Moreover, the Raymond family's affairs involve the Old Noble Union and Magitech.

Those people will definitely protect him, even the Grand Duchess can hardly blame him!"

"The Wild Boar Viscount acts rudely, but under the rudeness, there is enough shrewdness and strength."

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again: "Then what do you think I should do now?"

"Drag it out!"

The pretty girl Eva said directly: "Believe me, if you drag it out for a certain amount of time, there will be changes."

"Drag it out?"

Luo Yi nodded, thoughtfully: "I understand, I just hope that he can give me the opportunity to delay!"

It was also at this time that the Wild Boar Viscount had already arrived nearby and shouted loudly: "Luo Yi Royfitz, the bastard of the Raymond family, a little guy who wants to become a lion,

Do you dare to come forward and let me have a good look at you?"

Second update, being revised, wait a moment!
