Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 186 Crazy
"Shoot!" Robin gave the order, and thousands of arrows were immediately fired from the Viscount's city walls, colliding with the enemy's arrows in the air, making crisp sounds one after another.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air and shattering were intertwined. A stray arrow brushed past Robin's ear, lifting a few strands of hair.

The knight scouts were well-trained and after a brief exchange of arrows, they quickly launched a charge.

The horses' hooves crushed the ground, raising clouds of dust, and they pounced towards the wooden wall like ferocious beasts.

"Activate the magic trap!" Feng Ling shouted, and the magic wand in her hand shone brightly.

In an instant, the runes on the ground burst into dazzling light, and the knights in the front were suddenly caught in a psychedelic mist.

The warhorses neighed and stood up, their iron hooves crushing the shields of their companions beside them. Some knights were knocked to the ground and were immediately trampled into a pulp by the following horses' hooves.

Robin seized the opportunity and ordered the reserve troops to attack. The militiamen armed with spears shouted and rushed out from the flank. The spears were like a forest, piercing into the gaps in the Chaos Knight's armor.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mad waved his sword and tried to reorganize the team.

"Don't panic! They are just a mob!" he roared, "Charge! Break through this line of defense!" He kicked his horse hard, and his long sword swept up a bloody wind and went straight for a militia leader.

At the critical moment, Robin's dragon-slaying spear came out like a poisonous snake from a hole, and the tip of the spear accurately hit the spine of Mad's sword. The huge impact force caused Mad's tiger mouth to crack.

Mad roared, threw away his sword and drew the battle axe from his waist, and the axe blade, wrapped in the force of thunder, chopped towards Robin's face.

Robin dodged sideways and swept his spear across, hitting the hind leg of Mad's mount.

The warhorse fell to the ground with a loud bang, screaming, and threw Mad heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, several other knights thrust their spears at Robin at the same time.

Robin roared, and used the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique to its fullest potential. The Dragon Slaying Spear danced out a golden spear shadow, and the spear tip was like a dragon's tongue, instantly knocking three knights away.

The hot blood splashed on his face, and the smell of blood stimulated his pupils to contract, making him even more courageous.

At this moment, Wind Chime waved his magic wand, and an ice wall rose from the ground, cutting the remaining knights in half, giving Robin the opportunity to kill the enemy leader.

"This is impossible!" Mad stood up from the mud with blood foam in his mouth. The sparks from the battle axe hitting the ground made his face look like a ghost.

This legendary warrior, who had challenged seven noble knights in a row in the Imperial City Tournament, now had his mail armor askew and his cloak riddled with arrows, like a hedgehog. "A country bastard, are you worthy of me—"

The roar stopped abruptly.

Robin's dragon-slaying spear had already torn through the air, and the gilded lines on the spear body flowed like a living thing.

Mad raised his axe to block reflexively, but saw the tip of the spear suddenly change its shape, turning into a strange arc, bypassing the axe blade, and accurately piercing below his throat cartilage.

A fountain of warm blood gushed out and splashed on Robin's visor. Mad made a hoarse sound in his throat, like a vicious dog with its neck strangled.

Robin turned his wrist and pulled out the silver spear with half of his throat bone.

Mad's battle axe fell to the ground with a clang, his huge body shook twice, and he fell into a pool of his own blood, his wide-open eyes still showing disbelief.

The battle cries of the remaining knights instantly turned into screams of terror.

When someone turned his horse around, the reins got tangled around his neck, strangling him so much that his face turned purple.
Someone panicked and knocked over his companion, and both he and his horse rolled into the fog of the magic trap.

Robin slammed the Dragon Slaying Spear into the ground, sending gravel flying. "Don't leave any one alive!" Three hundred knights from the territory rushed out of the city gate like arrows, their horses' hooves crushing the twilight.

Robin took the lead, and the tip of his spear lifted up the fleeing knight's shield, and the sound of metal collision exploded across the field.

One knight tried to turn around and shoot an arrow, but Robin suddenly took off his helmet. The dragon scale pattern on his neck glowed fiercely in the moonlight, and combined with his bloodstained face, he looked like a god of war crawling out of hell.

The fleeing cavalry completely collapsed.

When Robin's spear pierced the back of the last knight, a shrill wolf howl was heard in the distance, and the evening breeze, carrying the smell of blood, rushed towards the broken wall of the Viscountry.

Feng Ling stood on the top of the city wall, the runes on her wand flickering. Looking at the devastation on the ground, she whispered, "Where did this army come from?"

Robin wiped the blood off the tip of the gun and said, "We'll know after we interrogate him."

On the makeshift torture rack in the center of the parade ground, the captured knight's chains made a harsh sound as he struggled.

Robin leaned the Dragon Slayer against a wooden pillar, and the gilded patterns glowed strangely in the light of the torch.

The captured knight's helmet fell off, revealing his blood-stained face, but his eyes still showed unwillingness.

"Tell me, which legion do you belong to?" Robin squatted down, his fingers rubbing the crevices of the knight's blood-stained armor, his tone terrifyingly calm.

The knight spat out a mouthful of blood: "Pah! Don't dream, the royal knights won't do that."

"Bang!" Feng Ling's magic wand suddenly slammed heavily on the torture rack, and the rune burst out with a faint blue light, instantly wrapping around the knight's neck.

"I can make you feel the bones shatter all over your body while you're awake," she said in an icy voice. "I can also make your tongue covered in barbs, so that every word you speak feels like swallowing broken glass."

The knight's pupils suddenly shrank and a whimper came from his throat.

Robin raised his hand to signal Feng Ling to stop, picked up the dagger beside him, and gently scratched the knight's cheek with the blade: "You probably don't know yet, I just came back from the burial ground." He leaned close to the knight's ear and lowered his voice, "There, even dragons can be skinned and dismembered, let alone..."

The blade suddenly pressed against the knight's eyes, "A mortal like you."

The knight trembled, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "I say! We are the Black Crow Scout Knights, directly under the command of Duke Lamia of the Imperial Capital. This time... this time, we are here under secret orders from the royal family to test the strength of the Western Territory. We are not targeting anyone, but it's nightfall, and we are planning to stop here. Seeing that your territory's defenses are rudimentary..."

"What is the content of the secret order?" Robin moved his dagger towards the knight's throat.

"Purge all nobles in the Western Territory. No surrender will be accepted. All nobles in the Western Territory, regardless of gender, age or status, will be beheaded."

The runes on the Wind Chime Wand suddenly lit up: "Who gave the secret order?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! He said that as long as the nobles of the Western Territory are destroyed, the nobles of the kingdom will have new fiefdoms, and the subsequent army will..." Before the knight finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, a large amount of black blood gushed out of his mouth, his body twitched violently several times, and he was no longer able to breathe.

Robin frowned and squatted to examine the remaining purple marks at the corners of the knight's mouth. "Venomous fangs. It seems someone doesn't want him to reveal more." He stood up and looked towards the Imperial City, his eyes growing colder. "The Emperor has indeed gone mad."

Feng Ling looked at the corpse hesitantly.

"I don't know if Ray Barton is crazy, but I'm sure the nobles in the Central Province are all crazy. You have no idea of ​​the plight of the nobles in the Central Province."
