According to the previous process, they should spread out their positions and greet each other, then talk about their respective needs, and finally have a long and friendly negotiation.
But he didn't expect that he wouldn't even have a chance to speak during this meeting, as the leading knight attacked them wielding a flaming sword.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting rang out across the wilderness.
For Ronin, although Rapids Island is not his now, with Bruno's promise, the future will definitely belong to him.
It would be better if there were more obedient people in his territory.
These troublemakers should be fixed.
Even if we want to talk, we will wait until we have defeated them head-on.
The knights brandished their swords and charged at the rebels.
Some of them are from the royal knights, some are from the knight squad of Pointed City, and some are teams stationed on Rapids Island all year round. Each team has received professional training and has a natural advantage in facing this group of rebels.
With the two silver knights Karada and Luchi taking the lead, the two sides became one-sided almost as soon as they came into contact.
Puff! Clifford slashed the knight who rushed towards him with a sword, and kicked away the two people who rushed towards him, with a flash of panic in his eyes.
"No, if we continue to stay here, we will die!"
He no longer hesitated and quickly fled to the rear.
At this moment, there was a rush of wind, and a shadow swooped down quickly, with the griffin's sharp claws aimed at his shoulder.
After all, Clifford was a golden knight and had some combat experience. Although he did not turn his head, he reacted subconsciously and rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Griffin!"
Clifford's ghosts are everywhere. Although some great nobles also own griffins, the appearance of this creature is generally associated with the royal family of Alduin.
If Rapids Island is a place that must be fought over, or a place that can bring in huge economic benefits, once trouble occurs, the attention of the great nobles will quickly turn over.
But this is where prisoners are held. Although there are good timber resources, the annual output is just so-so.
For the kingdom, this income is just a drop in the bucket and can be made up from many sources.
He couldn't understand why the royal family sent people as soon as there was a little trouble on Rapids Island, and they were very precious Griffin Knights.
This is like playing poker. You just played a three and your opponent threw down a royal bomb. How can you play this game? Run, he must run! However, how can a human's speed compare to that of a griffin?
Moreover, just as Clifford was running away, a figure blessed with extreme speed magic flashed in quickly and stabbed the opponent with the Flame Sword.
In panic, Clifford raised his sword to meet the attack.
Under the impact of the huge force, Clifford couldn't bear it and the sword in his hand was shattered.
Luo Ning stood in front of the other party and said, "I have never heard of a knight as powerful as you appearing in the White Flower Society. Tell me who you are!"
Just now, the opponent was able to repel the siege of several knights including Vali with just one attack, which shows that the opponent has strength beyond the bronze level, at least the silver level.
But according to Wally's introduction on the way, the strongest fighter of the White Flower Society is only the bronze knight Marcelo, and it is impossible for a silver knight to emerge in such a short time.
The series of embarrassing situations made Clifford feel desperate. He released all his fighting spirit into a torrent like an endless tsunami, and rushed towards Roning with unstoppable force.
He wanted to use this attack to repel Ronin, break through the blockade and escape from this dangerous place.
Even hiding in the mountains is better than being captured.
Melonica, who was roaming the battlefield not far away, was moved. "This is the sixth-level water-attribute fighting skill Tidal Frenzy. This guy is a golden knight. Ronin is in danger."
Lu Lan Si arranged for him to come and protect Ronin. He would not interfere with the latter's normal battles. However, once there was danger, he had to protect Ronin from harm in the first place.
But just as he was about to act, an extremely compressed flame burst out from Roning's Flame Sword, piercing through the opponent's surging tide like a flash of light and bombarding the opponent's armor.
"Ronin actually used the sixth-level fighting skill Fire Flash. Is he able to use it across levels like Karada, or is he already a Golden Knight?"
I can’t imagine that the eldest grandson of the Marquis, who was not favored by everyone at the beginning, has grown to this level now.
In a moment, Clifford was hit hard and flew away, and then he crashed into several trees on the roadside and collapsed under them. With several mouthfuls of blood spurting out of his mouth, he had lost the strength to resist.
Luo Ning put away the Flame Sword and turned his gaze from the opponent to the battlefield.
The battle was nearing its end at this time.
In the last round of fighting, more than half of the Baihua Society's members were killed or wounded, and the smell of blood filled the mountain forest road.
With Clifford and Marcelo being captured, the remaining people no longer had the courage to continue fighting. They laid down their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.
The knights and foot soldiers put their swords on the necks of these people and held them in place.
Although this one-sided battle was won without any suspense, there were some casualties on this side, most of whom were Wally's subordinates, and some were members of the knight team of Pointed Horn City. As for the dozen or so professional knights led by Missy, there were no casualties.
Valli ordered his men to bring Marcelo to Ronin.
He looked at the troublemaker who had been fighting with him for several years kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help feeling a sense of relief in his heart.
"Marcelo, the person standing in front of you is Ronin Wushan, the Count of Wubei Territory, who has come here on the orders of His Majesty the King to destroy you!"
"Haha, now you know how vulnerable the group of people you gathered are, right?"
Marcelo raised his head, looked at Ronin with difficulty, and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Kill him if you want to, don't show this disgusting face in front of me!"
Knight Vali wanted to curse a few words to vent his anger, but Roning raised his hand to stop him.
"You are quite brave, but don't worry, we won't kill you."
His purpose of coming to Rapids Island this time was just to gain some merit so that Bruno would have a reason to confer the title upon him.
Prisoners are the best proof of merit.
He will bring Marcelo and other key personnel back to Golden Feather City to report to His Majesty the King.
Roning signaled Tom and David to carry the unconscious Clifford over.
"Before I interrogate you, I really want to know, who is this person?"
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the person carried by Tom and David. In the previous battle, not everyone noticed Clifford.
Marcelo's eyes were evasive, and after a brief silence he said, "Like me, he is just the descendant of a criminal imprisoned on Rapids Island."
Ronin looked at Knight Vali, "That is to say, your information is wrong. There is a golden knight hidden among the natives of the White Flower Society of Rapids Island."
"Impossible, the White Flower Society cannot possibly have a golden knight!"
Wally was very sure, "If they had the Golden Knight, no, if they had the Silver Knight, they would have dared to kill me and occupy the dock of Rapid Island when I came to collect the wood last time!"
He looked at Clifford who was still unconscious, frowning deeply: "This man's skin doesn't have the yellowish color that is unique to Rapids Island. I think he is definitely not from Rapids Island!"
Vali put the sword on Marcelo's neck. "Tell me, who is he?"
Marcelo snorted coldly and still did not answer.
"In that case, let's keep them in custody and interrogate them after they wake up."
Luo Ning said: "Before that, we can search the Baihua Society's territory carefully to see if there are any suspicious places." (End of this chapter)
