The knight in red armor frowned, not knowing what Lu Ban meant.
He only felt a surge of anger, after all, no civilian had ever dared to disobey him before.
In this territory, as a dispatched member of a small detachment under the Duke's guard, he is even more powerful than some barons who bought their titles.
Whoosh——
He raised the whip, causing it to break through the air with a sound.
The whip was about to fall on Lu Ban, but this time, Lu Ban did not dodge.
The whip hit Lu Ban, and his whole body felt like it was cut by a knife. The whip sank into his flesh and blood, and then the wound healed suddenly, binding the whip directly into Lu Ban's body.
Seeing this scene, the knight in red armor widened his eyes. This shocking and bizarre scene directly damaged his sanity. Behind him, those elite-looking soldiers became confused, and even the horses took a few steps back uneasily as if frightened.
As for the townspeople, they didn't seem too surprised. It was probably because they were on the border and were already accustomed to seeing monsters wreaking havoc and killing humans. They had seen all kinds of deaths, so it didn't cause too much of a stir.
Of course, it is also possible that due to the long-term pollution of water and land, the level of pollution they themselves are exposed to is already high enough. The strange appearance that Lu Ban is now showing is already within their threshold and cannot lead to a decrease in sanity at all.
But the knights were not so lucky.
These knights, who may have never fought a real monster and only knew how to bully others by taking advantage of their power, saw Lu Ban's appearance at this moment and could almost see the reminders of [Sanity -1][Sanity -1] constantly popping up above their heads.
Especially the knight in red armor, he tried to pull back the whip, but the whip seemed to have taken root in Lu Ban's body and did not move at all.
The knight's face looked as if he had seen a ghost. He immediately let go of the whip and drew his sword instead.
The long sword shone with a cold light and was obviously sharper than the best sword in the town.
"Demon, monster, it's a monster, catch him quickly!"
The knight in red armor shouted, trying to suppress Lu Ban with his numerical advantage, but behind him, his men were already trembling in fear. If the horses under them had not been much braver than them and did not run away, they would have probably thrown away their armor and weapons and fled in all directions.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here!"
The knight in red armor suddenly revealed a ferocious expression on his face, just like Bu Jingyun.
He wanted the horse to turn around and run away, but without the whip, there was no way he could do that with just the reins. He could only stand there in a daze and watch Lu Ban come up to him.
"Die, die, die!"
The knight in red armor began to swing his sword wildly, trying to stop Lu Ban, but before that he was afraid that his sword would hurt himself.
Then, the gentle Lu Ban materialized the silver pen [Last Words] in his right hand, and at the same time, the knight in red armor paused.
Lu Ban grabbed his sword-holding hand.
It was as if some vines stretched out from Lu Ban's palm, and the man could no longer wave his hand. He could only look at Lu Ban with tears in his eyes, begging him to let him go.
"It doesn't hurt. It's over in a moment."
Lu Ban put down his pen as if he was coaxing a child to sleep, and countless information about the man jumped out like pages of a book.
[The captain's wife is really awesome. No wonder the captain looks so bad every day]
[Should I eat chicken legs or pork chops tonight? I’ve been eating too much meat lately and it’s a bit greasy]
[His swordsmanship is basically at the level of an elementary school student picking up branches. He has not inherited any of his father's martial arts at all.]
[It is common for him to be lustful and have sex with married women]
[At least I haven't killed anyone yet, that's good news]
Lu Ban simply read these words and felt that it was quite an achievement for a person to survive to this age in this chaotic Kingdom of Darkness.
Apart from being physically strong and having a good father who allowed him to inherit the position of knight, his biggest advantage was that he had no advantages. If he had some strengths, he would have had some advantages.
Such people, let alone fighting against the demonic tide and monsters, will cause trouble to everyone even in peacetime.
Not to mention that he is actually considered good, at least he doesn't kill people indiscriminately. Lu Ban estimated that there are many people like him, who may have already used violence to kill many guys who disobeyed them.
How can we save the Kingdom of Night together with this group of insects?
After thinking about it, Lu Ban did not interfere too much.
He only wrote one sentence in his messy message.
【I want to be Mr. Lu Ban’s dog】
Then, all the information was retracted.
The knight in red armor, a guy named Brown, quickly came to his senses.
He saw Lu Ban, then looked at the sword in his hand, and was so scared that he immediately dropped the sword. Then he jumped off his horse and knelt in front of Lu Ban without caring about the muddy ground.
"Lord Lu Ban, Lord Lu Ban, I am blind, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
He pretended to kiss Lu Ban's shoes, but Lu Ban moved his foot away and let him stand up.
"Tell me in detail what the Duke wants to build."
Lu Ban asked.
Knight Brown, who was wearing red armor, immediately told the Duke in detail how he had already built several palaces and was planning to build another one, and how he was forcing these people to work as laborers everywhere.
When his subordinates saw that their boss suddenly became so well-behaved, they were quite confused at first, but soon, they followed suit, dismounted, surrounded Lu Ban, and answered every question he asked.
Lu Ban quickly realized that the nobles of this kingdom probably didn't do anything practical.
Besides enjoying themselves, it was all about enjoying themselves. Moreover, perhaps due to the terrifying demonic tide itself, these noble lords had already developed the concept of living and dying in a day. They believed that they should enjoy life to the fullest and enjoy themselves to the fullest today, without worrying about tomorrow's terrible flood. Therefore, these noble lords were all very good at sustainable fishing and even digging out some gold from the mud.
Again, how can we save the Kingdom of Darkness by being with this bunch of insects?
Lu Ban looked at these soldiers who had equipment but no combat experience, and then at the townspeople who were numb and unmoved. He felt that if he wanted to evolve these people into a powerful army that dared to fight and win in a short period of time, the difficulty would be only slightly easier than asking Charlotte or Leopard to help him win the battle.
Thinking of this, Lu Ban believed that education could not save the Kingdom of the Night.
If they want to complete their mission, they can only resort to more destructive and thorough means.
Soon, Lu Ban remembered what he had seen in the Silent Department Store.
