Just then, a large group of Byzantine armored cavalrymen surrounded and attacked Lin Mo.
Although the armor of the other Imperial Guards was magnificent, compared to Lin Mo's, it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.
Upon seeing this extremely luxurious armor, even a fool would know that Lin Mo was a very important figure in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king." If we can capture this important figure, the battle might turn around.
On the other hand, Lin Mo had his reasons for dressing this way.
He wanted to attract the attention of the Byzantine cavalry and get them to surround him.
Has Lin Mo gone mad?
Of course not!
He wanted to use this to test his own abilities.
According to Zhao Wushi's information, a high system growth rate and strong enough faith value can greatly enhance the host's abilities.
Although the previous god was defeated and imprisoned, the system has been updated.
However, the previous system growth value is still there.
Lin Mo's faith value has now completely surpassed Lin Wenzhong's, and is even approaching the level of Zhao Wushi's when he founded the Great Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, the new system determines that Lin Mo's current personal combat strength is about to surpass that of the four-star general Xu Chu.
But while the assessment was valid, Lin Mo had no idea how strong it truly was.
This is a great opportunity to test my individual combat skills and satisfy my fighting desires at the same time—the best of both worlds!
As for safety, there's absolutely no need to worry.
With five hundred Imperial Guards by his side, they could surely break through the chaos and rescue him with just a single command from Lin Mo.
The next moment.
A Byzantine armored cavalryman thrust his lance toward Lin Mo.
Lin Mo grinned, and with a slight tilt of his body, he dodged the spear. Then, with a backhand slash, the Divine Weapon Dragon Slayer swiftly severed the head of the Byzantine armored cavalryman.
"Is it that easy?" Lin Mo was overjoyed.
He discovered that he was able to pierce through the armor of armored cavalrymen using only 50% of his strength.
Another spear came flying at him, and Lin Mo swung his sword to slash it away.
The armored cavalryman panicked and quickly dodged, but the Dragon Slayer cleaved the spear in two.
In a split second, the armored cavalryman raised his round shield with his left hand and smashed it toward Lin Mo's head!
This round shield is quite heavy. If it were to hit Lin Mo's head solidly, even with a helmet, he believed it would leave the enemy dazed and confused. At that point, he would only need to finish him off with a spear thrust!
However, just as the round shield was about to strike, Lin Mo raised his left hand and actually managed to grab the shield with his bare flesh.
A contest of strength unfolded between the two, but the armored cavalryman discovered that Lin Mo's strength was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo snatched the round shield from his hand!
"Die!" Lin Mo shouted, gripping his round shield tightly and smashing it towards the face of the armored cavalryman.
A horrible collision left the armored cavalryman mangled beyond recognition, causing him to fall from his horse and die instantly!
Seeing this, Gareth was both angry and anxious.
He let out a steely shout, then raised his Roman dagger and charged forward.
As the short sword came slashing down, Lin Mo calmly raised his shield to block.
"Bang!"
Another loud bang was heard.
Lin Mo couldn't help but take it seriously, because he knew that the newcomer had some strength.
"Hmph, again, again!"
Lin Mo grabbed the shield and hurled it at Gareth, but the latter dodged it.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mo raised the Dragon Slayer sword high and fiercely cleaved it down towards Gareth's head!
The two attacks were so swift and precise that Gareth struggled to react correctly.
He instinctively raised his Roman dagger to parry, but the blade of the dragon-slaying sword slashed his right arm, causing blood to gush out.
Seeing this, Lin Mo struck again with his sword.
This time, Gareth was powerless to stop them.
His right hand, or rather his entire right arm, was completely immobile. The intense pain caused him to sweat profusely and his body to tremble like a leaf.
Faced with the slashing dragon, he had no time to dodge and could only hope that his helmet could withstand the attack!
But he knew that the other side's weapons were very sharp.
Or perhaps, that divine weapon is so powerful that few suits of armor in this world can withstand it.
With Lin Mo's strength now comparable to Xu Chu's, the combination of the two made the sword strike like a falling meteor!
A loud "bang" was heard.
As expected, Gareth's helmet was cleaved open!
The head inside the helmet had been cleaved open with a horrifying wound.
Despite such an attack, Gareth was still alive.
His eyes widened suddenly, and his body began to convulse uncontrollably.
The bright red blood flowing down his cheek made Gareth look extremely ferocious.
"Hey, you tough nut?" Lin Mo grinned. "Then give me a few more hits!"
After speaking, Lin Mo raised the Dragon Slayer Sword and slashed it down one after another.
In the end, Gareth's helmet was completely cleaved open, and his head was smashed beyond recognition. As red blood mixed with white brain matter flowed out, Lin Mo immediately began searching for the next victim for his dragon-slaying mission!
Upon seeing this, all the Byzantine cavalrymen were terrified.
That's Gareth!
The Byzantine Empire is also known as the Eastern Roman Empire.
During the Roman Empire, the Roman army expanded outwards relentlessly, waging countless wars. Countries surrounding the Roman Empire suffered numerous invasions, and the European continent bore the marks of the Roman hooves.
Countless victories in war ignited the very blood of the Romans, gradually setting a raging, indescribable madness within them.
This period led them to embrace violence, which resulted in the world-famous Colosseum in ancient Rome!
