Chapter 30: One-sided
From Wushan Fort to Shanlin Town, the guards spent ten days with Luo Ning.
During these ten days, Ronin completely established the image of a "lord" in the guards' minds by promising them high salaries, allocating sufficient food, and training them in discipline and obedience.
So when he ordered an attack, the guards all grasped their swords and followed the knights in the charge.
The tense situation broke out with Roning's loud shout, "Kill!"
The distance between the two groups of people on the mountain road was only a few dozen meters. With the horses galloping, McKen and Princet came into contact in almost the blink of an eye.
The long swords collided, fighting spirit exploded, and the two men's mounts neighed violently.
Under the huge impact, Princet's horse seemed in bad condition and staggered to fall. The horse's owner did not expect the knight in front of him to be stronger than himself!
He kicked the horse directly, and the whole person flew up, passed the crowd, and landed outside the battle group.
As Princet retreated, his men surrounded him. Two knights besieged McKen, and the remaining two attacked Roning and David, respectively.
Roning had tried to fight on horseback when he was sparring with McKen, but he still didn't have enough experience.
Fortunately, the opponent's knight's level does not seem to be very high.
After just one confrontation, the opponent was unable to withstand the power transmitted from Roning's sword.
"It's a bit intimidating, isn't it too weak?"
Roning is now a primary perfect knight. If it were not for the limitation of his characteristics, he would have broken through to the intermediate level long ago.
The opponent was still far from perfection, so in a head-on confrontation, he was no match for Roning.
"I have already given you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it."
At the moment when the two swords collided, Roning pressed forward, and the huge force directly forced the opponent's sword to hit his chest!
Roning raised his sword again, and at the moment when the two horses crossed, he directly cut the opponent's throat vertically, cut the opponent's chin, and killed him off the horse.
"Everyone, charge!"
After a successful strike, Ronin pulled the reins and shouted loudly. The guards saw that the lord had killed one man, and their morale was greatly boosted.
They quickly passed Ronin and rushed down.
The infantry of both sides fought together.
Close combat is dangerous and terrifying. Roning's guards have eaten well, drunk well, and trained well during this period, so they are all very strong. On the other
On the other hand, the other twenty infantrymen must have just wasted a lot of energy running all the way out from Shanlin Town, and now they are at a complete disadvantage because they are fighting on a high slope from a low slope.
As soon as the infantry of both sides came into contact, Roning's side quickly suppressed the opponent.
Roning glanced at David quickly. He was quite worried about this boy who had just broken through and become a professional knight.
Fortunately, although this guy was suppressed by his opponent, he can still hold on and should not be a problem in the short term.
Then, the key to deciding this battle lies with McCann.
Roning immediately turned his horse around and prepared to help McKen.
But before he could move, McKen repelled the besieging knights with two moves. At the same time, he jumped off his horse and rushed towards Princet, who had left the battle group.
"Impossible. How can you have such a strong knight by your side!"
Princet was horrified and screamed while grasping the hilt of the sword with both hands. The fighting spirit rose from the sword and turned into flames, slashing towards McKen.
Roning's eyes lit up. This Princet was a professional knight with fire attributes, so this move should be a fighting skill.
Seeing his opponent using fighting skills, McKen used his backhand to pull the iron shield off his back.
He let out a roar, and like a warrior fighting back, his fighting spirit burst out from his whole body, and even his shield began to glow with an ochre-coloured light.
"boom!"
The flame slash hit the shield and shattered into countless sparks, but McKen actually managed to block the attack with his shield.
The huge impact force forced McKen to retreat. He thrust his sword into the ground to stop his retreat and, at the same time, injected the earth with his earth-attributed fighting spirit.
Suddenly, a spiked earth spear shot out from the ground and pierced into the opponent's calf while Princet's attention was diverted after his attack!
"ah!"
Princet screamed in pain and tried to pull his legs free in an attempt to escape, but soon a cold sword was placed on his neck.
"Surrender!"
McKen said coldly, "If it weren't for Lord Roning's mercy, which allowed me not to kill you, your head would be at your feet now!"
Princet's eyes widened, totally unable to believe that he had failed and failed so quickly.
Perhaps Princet's strength is not much worse than McKen's, but it can be seen that McKen's combat experience is far ahead of the other.
In addition, the opponent did not anticipate McKen's strength at all, causing him to lose control of his emotions after being defeated by just one blow, which allowed McKen to crush him completely.
"This guy..."
Roning couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. He would never use his shield to take the opponent's flaming slash if it were him. What if the shield broke?
It can only be said that McKen was extremely brave in battle and had a strong intuition.
"Political Officer Princet has been defeated!"
Luo Ning shouted loudly, "The rest of you, put down your weapons and lie on the ground, and we will spare your lives!"
His voice spread far away, and Princet's infantrymen were stunned when they heard it. After a moment of trance, Ronin's infantrymen pierced the enemy's body.
After a brief one-sided massacre, the infantrymen of Shanlin Town finally reacted. They dropped their weapons in fear and lay on the ground, wailing and begging for mercy.
They no longer had the courage to fight on.
Although some of Ronin's guards did not stop their actions and hurt several surrendering enemies, most reacted quickly and clamped their swords on the necks of others without continuing to attack.
The chaotic battlefield suddenly became quiet, with only the wailing and neighing of horses.
Seeing that things were going badly, the two remaining professional knights under Princet's command jumped on their horses and fled.
They did not flee back but wanted to escape from Shanlin Town by heading south along the mountain road.
"Still want to escape?"
Roning slapped the horse's butt hard, and the warhorse neighed and galloped towards the opponent.
"It would be great if I were an intermediate magician." Roning thought as he chased.
If he could use the wind-blade spell, he could easily strike the opponent from behind.
Fortunately, his mount was of very good quality and accelerated very quickly, so even if he gave the opponent two seconds to escape, Roning quickly caught up.
"Stay!"
His long sword went straight into the opponent's vest from behind, and the man had no choice but to turn around and fight back.
During the confrontation, the knight, who was already in disarray, was cut on the arm by Roning's sword. He fell off his horse and rolled in the dust.
Regardless of anything, Luo Ning chased after the other person and intercepted him using the same method.
David walked up and placed the sword on the neck of one of them to control him, while Roning controlled the other one.
At this point, Princet and all his men were either controlled by Ronin's men or lying on the ground, losing the courage to resist.
"David, you did a great job~"
Luo Ning praised. He didn't expect that this novice, who had just made a breakthrough a few days ago, could actually beat the opponent in the first battle.
David was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Sir, I can't beat that man. But when he heard your call, he dropped his weapon and surrendered on the ground. That's how I was able to get away."
"Oh?" E'ning raised his eyebrows.
He turned his head and saw that the knight who had just fought with David was indeed lying on the ground, very well-behaved. It turned out that there were still people who knew how to act.
As he looked around the battlefield, the magician Elrond was moving among the wounded, continuously casting healing spells to quickly heal the wounds of the injured and bleeding guards.
Roning gathered the five professionals together. He came to Princet and asked with a smile, "Is this ending a little different from what you expected?"
As he spoke, he waved to Elrond, "Give his wounds some healing. I don't want him to die now."
"Good sir, you are so kind to the prisoners!"
Elrond came up and pulled out the earth thorns on Prinster's leg, then cast two healing spells over.
The rate of blood outflow was reduced significantly due to the treatment, but perhaps the injury was too severe, and the wound showed no signs of healing.
"Sir, the earth thorns have injured the bones. Healing alone cannot completely heal the wound."
Luo Ning waved his hand, "That's enough, as long as you don't die."
Princet looked at Ronin with a pale face, "I didn't expect that you not only have a mid-level knight by your side but also a mysterious light magician!"
He gritted his teeth, unwillingly suppressing his anger at failure, "I never expected that the legendary good-for-nothing grandson of the Marquis is actually a professional knight."
"Political Officer, there are many things you didn't expect, and they are also very deadly."
Luo Ning smiled faintly and said, "I'm curious. Who told you this information about me?"
Princet lowered his head as if considering whether to answer the question.
At this moment, the knight who was controlled by David and kneeling beside him whispered: "Don't forget your oath!"
