Chapter 171 The Power of the Knight
Chapter 171
"Attention all directions! Be careful! A high-energy body is detected approaching rapidly!"
The team leader's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel. His tone was more serious than ever before, revealing a hint of vigilance and tension.
Upon hearing this, Lin En and the others looked through the detectors and soon discovered the astonishing scene:
A knight in silver-white armor was riding a warhorse with fluttering wings and shining colors, galloping towards them at an astonishing speed.
His speed was not inferior to the invisible aircraft they were driving! What was even more terrifying was that as he moved forward, a terrifying aura continued to escape from his body, as if the entire space was stirred by his might, and the air was faintly distorted!
Such a terrifying existence was directly captured by the team leader's energy detector.
"According to the realm of the gods, this person has most likely reached the fifth ring..."
However, before the team leader finished his words, the energy fluctuations on the detector suddenly increased, and his originally calm tone instantly became rapid and horrified.
"No! That high-energy entity...is actually his warhorse!"
"His aura is already close to the critical point of the seventh ring!"
"This person is equivalent to our Level 2 wizard. He is only one step away from breaking through to Level 3 wizard!"
The team leader's voice was filled with undisguised fear.
Even though he was a veteran of many battles, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when facing such a terrifying existence that surpassed them all.
After all, if the knight who rushed over was only at the fifth ring level, he would be at most equivalent to an early-stage second-level wizard.
Naturally, their team does not need to worry about safety issues, because they have always maintained a relative distance, so there is a high probability that they can escape safely.
However, if that knight was a powerful warrior at the seventh ring level, it would be completely different!
Moreover, the warhorse under him was actually a five-ring level warhorse, belonging to the second-level wizard level, and was definitely much faster than the aircraft they were riding!
"Retreat! Full retreat!"
The team leader gave the order decisively, and there was no time to even make a plan. The entire team went directly into emergency evasion mode! Therefore, the team leader was very nervous and anxious, and his words were full of fear.
Even through the communication channel, Lin En could still imagine how pale and weak he looked at the moment.
"Evacuate in batches, he's alone!"
As the team leader gave the final order, the entire assault team instantly entered tactical retreat mode!
The eight team members immediately stopped the attack, started the aircraft at full speed, and activated the highest power stealth mode.
“Buzz…”
The eight stealth aircraft increased their speed almost instantly, and scattered like meteors, flying in all directions at an extremely fast speed!
However, the knight riding the winged warhorse looked at the fleeing aircraft with an expression as cold as ever.
He snorted lightly, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Want to run? Can you run away?"
Before he finished speaking, he slowly pulled out a bow from his back.
The bow was red in color, as if it was forged from hot magma. It trembled slightly in the air, releasing terrifying blazing energy!
When his fingers touched the bowstring, a flaming arrow automatically condensed in the air.
The arrow seemed to be born from the flames of hell, and the hot waves caused the surrounding space to slightly distort.
The next moment, the knight's eyes narrowed slightly, locking onto a flying vehicle that was running at full speed. He suddenly sank his arm and gathered strength to pull the bow!
“Buzz!”
The bowstring was instantly pulled to its full length, and the entire bow burst into a dazzling scarlet glow. The air seemed to be trembling from the powerful pulling force! Then!
"call out!!"
The scarlet arrow was like a burning meteor, transforming into a brilliant red lightning, tearing through the air, dragging a trail of scorching flames, and shooting straight towards the high-speed fleeing aircraft!
Its speed was so fast that it crossed a distance of several thousand meters in almost an instant and headed straight for the aircraft!
Upon seeing this, the wizard in the aircraft suddenly turned pale with horror and pushed the joystick frantically, trying to speed up and escape from the terrifying arrow!
However, no matter how fast the aircraft is, how can it be faster than the red lightning? !
"boom!!"
The next moment, the arrow hit the aircraft, and a violent explosion occurred like a red sun suddenly blooming in the sky!
At the center of the explosion, a blazing red storm spread violently, like a tide of fire, instantly engulfing the entire aircraft!
If the temperature in the storm is converted into the energy standard of the wizarding world, the temperature at the periphery is already over 200 degrees, and at the core, it is close to 300 degrees!
This terrifying force was comparable to the full force of a Level 2 wizard, not to mention that the wizard inside was only a Level 1 wizard! He didn't even have time to scream before he was completely annihilated in the red storm, leaving no wreckage behind!
"One."
The knight whispered indifferently, as if he had just casually crushed an ant, his eyes as cold as a knife, without any ripples.
However, he did not stop.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows! His horse was still galloping in the air at high speed, and his bow was constantly opening and closing.
Arrows burning with fire were shot out one after another, transforming into merciless scythes of the god of death, sweeping up a storm of death and hitting the fleeing aircraft one by one.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Every hit is a devastating explosion!
Every rise of a fire storm means the death of a wizard.
There is only one fate for these aircrafts, and that is the destruction of the aircraft and the death of the people on board! In the distant army of goddesses...
At the other end of the battlefield, the huge and mysterious Fire Knights had an army formation as big as a mountain, and an aura of murderous intent filled the sky and earth.
Among them, standing in the center was the leader of the Knights—the ninth-level knight, Cindy!
Beside him, several senior knights wearing red-gold armor were also watching the hunting scene on the battlefield intently.
Among them, an eighth-level knight looked at the figure with amazing archery skills and couldn't help laughing: "Sir Cindy, your disciple Fao's archery skills are simply impeccable! I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire knight group who can beat him!"
Another knight nodded slightly, and said with emotion:
"Yes, Fao's talent is extremely amazing. Given time, it won't be long before he can surpass us 'old guys'."
Faced with everyone's compliments, Cindy's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and it was obvious that she was in a very happy mood.
"Fao...is destined to be extraordinary."
He looked at the disciple with a sharp figure and superb archery skills on the battlefield, his eyes revealing a hint of deep satisfaction.
From the moment he accepted Fao as his apprentice, he knew that this apprentice was different from others, and even had the potential to embark on the true "path to godhood"! Because of this, Fao's status in the Knights was far higher than that of his peers, and he even received his special permission to leave the Knights at will without any constraints.
…………………………
Among the assault team, only two aircraft are still safe.
These two aircraft, one belongs to the team captain, and the other is Lin En's plane.
However, they survived for very different reasons.
The captain's aircraft is relatively more advanced in structure, especially in terms of burst speed, which far exceeds ordinary models.
As soon as the battle broke out, his plane accelerated instantly, surpassing the other team members and leaving a safe distance, so he did not become the enemy's primary target.
Lynn's aircraft was no different from that of the other team members, and was even relatively simpler.
Because this aircraft was a "plain aircraft" he had just received from the war fortress and had not yet undergone any additional modifications, while the aircraft of other team members had mostly been enhanced to varying degrees.
But even so, he still survived.
The reason is simple. From the very beginning, he did not get too close to the main force of the Goddess' army.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If the other team members kept a safe distance of ten kilometers, then Lin En kept a full fifteen kilometers! Even though his attacks almost ninety percent failed to cause effective damage, he didn't care.
Anyway, those high-ranking wizards had already evacuated on the war fortress, and no one would come to punish him for his "cautious behavior."
Perhaps, some of the team members who had fought bravely before would be dissatisfied with his "caution" and even secretly call him a "coward" in their hearts.
But it turns out that only those who are alive are qualified to think about the future.
Now, all those brave members who charged forward have been killed in the battle, without even leaving their bodies behind.
Lin En suddenly pushed the aircraft's joystick at the first moment and rushed backwards like a gust of wind!
"On the battlefield, a level one wizard is simply the lowest level unit..."
Lin En gripped the joystick tightly, staring coldly at the fire in the distance, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"In a large-scale battle, among ten first-level wizards, it would be good if one survived."
He adjusted the angle of the plane, increased the speed to the maximum, and sped along the predetermined retreat route.
Originally their assault team consisted of eight first-level wizards, but now, six of them have died in battle. The loss rate is terrifyingly high!
What's more, this was just a small-scale conflict, not even a full-scale war! "You can imagine how tragic the massacre will be when the real 'day of war' comes..."
Of course, there aren't only first-level wizards on the battlefield.
Those weaker wizard apprentices and even mechanical puppets are the real "battlefield trash". They are treated as disposable consumables and have no hope of survival.
But in Lin En's opinion, a first-level wizard is at least still a human being and can still fight hard.
And wizard apprentices and mechanical puppets, in a sense, are not even "people". They are just cannon fodder, consumables that can be replenished infinitely...
"For the weak, the living environment of dark wizards is unsafe, but the living environment of white wizards is not much better..."
Lin En looked at the battlefield behind him and the destroyed aircraft, and his faith was reaffirmed in his heart.
Only strength is the only guarantee of survival.
Whether in the realm of dark wizards or the realm of white wizards, the fate of the weak remains unchanged.
No matter where they were moved to, they were just fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at will and devoured by the battlefield.
At this critical moment, a cold voice came from behind Lin En, like a ghost demanding his life, and it went straight to his ears.
"The last one..."
The voice used the wizard language, but it sounded stiff and stumbling. It was obvious that the person speaking was not good at using this language.
But Lin En already knew who the owner of the voice was.
That terrifying knight on a warhorse, at the seventh ring level! Hearing this eerie whisper, Lin En felt a sudden chill on his back.
There was no need to think about the outcome of the assault team. Now, he was the only one left! His heart sank, but he had no intention of surrendering.
Knight of the Seven Rings?
It's really scary.
For the other members of the assault team, facing such an enemy is almost a dead end.
But for Lynn, this may not be the case!
Before the Spirit of the Blue Sky replenished its power of faith, he was already able to briefly burst out the power of a third-level great wizard.
Now, the Spirit of the Blue Sky has obtained enough power of faith, and his trump card has been improved again!
Not to mention the Seven-Ring Knight, even if it is the Nine-Ring Knight, as long as the opponent has not yet stepped into the legendary stage and has not yet come into contact with the mysterious realm of the gods.
Lynn has a chance to deliver a fatal blow!
After one strike, life or death is still unknown! We can't fight here...
Lynn's eyes darkened slightly, and he instantly weighed the situation in his mind.
"This place is too close to the goddess' army..."
At this moment, he is using the Spirit of the Blue Sky to suppress his own blasphemer aura. Once he uses the Spirit of the Blue Sky, this aura will inevitably leak out.
In this way, the entire goddess army will be alarmed! At that time, the legendary wizard above the sky will probably not mind taking action personally and directly annihilating this blasphemer! Therefore, we must keep our distance!
At least, we have to stay away from this battlefield...
However, just as Lin En was thinking, the crisis suddenly came! The figure of the knight suddenly moved.
Bend the bow, nod the arrow! Whoosh! A red arrow suddenly broke through the air, sweeping like thunder, pointing directly at Lin En's aircraft! Before the arrow arrived, the surrounding air had been completely distorted by the fiery energy, like a falling meteor, once it hit.
The only result is that the plane crashes and everyone on board dies!
Lin En's eyes suddenly turned cold, without the slightest hesitation!
He suddenly opened the aircraft door, at the same time.
Starfall Boots, activate! This pair of boots carefully crafted by the Warhammer Master of the Mechanical City finally ushered in its first use in battle! Starfall Boots has three energy storages, and each time it is released, the wearer's speed will increase dramatically, just like a meteor flying through the sky! Buzz!!! In an instant, the starlight suddenly bloomed!
Lin En's figure turned into a dazzling stream of light and instantly left the aircraft! Boom!!!
The next moment, the scarlet arrow hit the aircraft with a bang! A violent explosion broke out in the sky, and flames and shock waves swept in all directions, instantly setting off a monstrous red storm!
In the distance, the knight Fao fixed his eyes and stared coldly at the aftermath of the explosion.
But he soon noticed something was wrong! Through the light of the explosion, he clearly saw that the wizard in the aircraft was not killed!
Instead, he turned into a beam of starlight and fled at high speed! "No prey targeted by Lord Fao can escape!"
He snorted coldly, and clamped his legs against the horse! Throw!
The warhorse became spiritual, and its wings suddenly spread out, carrying with it a storm-like airflow, and its speed increased dramatically again!
Fao rode on horseback and chased after Lynn!
Soon, the two of them completely rushed out of the goddess army's sight and entered a more distant place...
