Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 50 Secret Room
"Robin, you let Marley and his family go, and are you planning to betray the lord?" Manette shouted at the top of his voice, his voice echoing in the empty streets, with a bit of questioning and a bit of threat.

When Robin heard this, he paused and slowly put the pulley compound bow into the quiver behind him.

He frowned slightly and quickly glanced at the quivers beside him. Originally, both quivers were stuffed with twenty feather arrows each, but now there were only thirty feather arrows left.

He knew in his heart that if more reinforcements arrived, he would be in danger with just these few arrows.

"Betrayal?" Robin sneered. His voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable determination. "I just want to know what exactly happened to Grand Knight Damia's death? And what happened to those knights who practiced Earth Dragon Breathing?"

When Manette heard these two questions, his face instantly turned a little ugly. He knew in his heart that Robin had guessed the trick of the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique, and the lord would never let such a person live.

"You know a lot, don't you?" Manette gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. He knew in his heart that if the stalemate continued, it would only become increasingly disadvantageous to his side.

Thinking of this, Manette waved to the knight apprentices around him, signaling them to retreat the same way they came.

"Go!" he ordered in a low voice, with a hint of reluctance in his voice, but he had to make this decision.

They didn't plan to continue wasting time here with Robin. This battle was far beyond their expectations. They came this time to capture Malizzi's family, so they traveled light and did not carry shields.

At the same time, he needed to bring this news back to let other companions know about the Archer Knights' rebellion.

The knight apprentices turned around quickly as if they had been granted amnesty, and retreated cautiously in the direction they came from. Their steps were hurried but they did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of angering Robin again.

Manette walked at the end. He looked at Robin warily as he slowly backed away. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including fear of Robin and regret for the failure of this mission.

"Robin, you'll soon learn the consequences of betraying your lord," Manette said, suppressing his inner anger and resentment. Without hesitation, he turned and ran, his figure rapidly becoming blurred in the darkness.

His footsteps were hurried and panicked, with a bit of the embarrassment of fleeing in panic.

A few seconds later, Robin slowly walked out from the shadows.

His figure was tall and straight, and the moonlight shone on him, outlining a firm outline.

His eyes swept across the battlefield and quickly locked onto those feather arrows that were still usable.

He walked quickly forward, squatted down, and deftly retrieved the seven feather arrows one by one.

After completing all this, Robin did not stop at all. He put away the feather arrow properly and looked deeply in the direction of the castle.

At this time, the towers of the castle were dim in the night, like dormant beasts. Occasionally, a few lights flickered in the city, like the dangerous eyes of the beasts, revealing a hint of chill.

The cold wind whistled down from the city wall, blew through the streets, and raised a cloud of dust, adding a bit of solemnity.

He turned around, and with brisk but firm steps, he quickly ran out of the city.

The moonlight stretched his shadow very long. All around him was a dead silent wilderness. The wild grass trembled in the cold wind, making rustling sounds.

As Robin fled, Raymond's figure slowly emerged from behind an old, withered tree. He was completely hidden in the shadows, only his eyes flashed with a strange light, and the corners of his mouth were curled up in a crazy and ferocious smile.

"Everything is going according to plan." Raymond lowered his voice, but could not hide his madness. His tone was as if he was standing on top of the world, controlling everyone's fate.

The more men the lord's personal guards sent to capture Malizzi and Robin, the weaker the city's defenses would become, and the greater his chances of breaking through Winston City. In his eyes, Robin and Malizzi's escape at this moment were just two pawns on the lord's chessboard, advancing the situation step by step according to his plan.

"Everyone, take action." Raymond suddenly raised his voice, and the order echoed in the open field.

In an instant, the three knights and more than forty knight apprentices who were secretly controlled by him appeared from all directions. Their figures were dim in the moonlight, like a group of ghosts.

These people moved quickly, their steps hurried but orderly, heading towards the east gate of Winston City.

There was coldness and numbness in their eyes, as if they were about to rush into not a siege but a feast of harvesting lives.

At this time, Robin had no idea that a bigger conspiracy was brewing behind him. He was still running desperately to escape the pursuit and find out the truth.

Malizzi was also kept in the dark and was trying hard to find a way to escape.

As for Malizzi's family, under Thomson's full protection, they have successfully escaped the pursuit in the city and are running towards safety, but they don't know that a more terrible crisis is quietly looming over Winston City.

In the underground secret room of the lord's castle, the dim light flickered, making Lord Blot's figure distorted and weird.

He took a deep breath with satisfaction, a greedy smile appearing on his face, "This is the power of the Great Knight." The voice echoed in the secret room, revealing a hint of madness that was hard to conceal.

Around him, seven knights who practiced the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique were emaciated and swaying like candles in the wind.

Their backs were connected to tubes as thick as babies' arms, the other end of which snaked to the stone chair where Lord Blot sat.

At this moment, their life force was almost sucked away, their eyes were empty, and death was only a matter of time.

"My Lord! Manette has an urgent matter to report." Outside the secret room, the voice of the guard knight broke the silence in the secret room, with a bit of anxiety.

"Speak!" Lord Blot said coldly, his voice carrying the majesty and impatience of a superior.

"Bow Knight Robin has rebelled and has already broken through to become a formal knight. Knights Sylvan and Winda have already died from his arrows." The guard knight said it in one breath, his voice echoing in the secret room, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more solemn.

Lord Blot's expression suddenly became terribly gloomy, and his originally comfortable smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by an expression of anger and as expected.

"That kid has indeed made a breakthrough, but he has been hiding his strength!" Lord Blot's face changed slightly when he heard this, then he knocked on the armrest of the stone chair and asked angrily: "Where is Manette? What is he doing! He can't even deal with a new knight!" His voice rose instantly, full of anger and dissatisfaction with his subordinates' incompetence.

"He is mobilizing men and shields to hunt down the Archer Knight. He suspects Robin has figured out the secret of the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique." The guard knight outside the secret room answered cautiously, fearing to anger the hot-tempered lord.

When Lord Blot heard that Robin had guessed that there was something wrong with the Earth Dragon's breathing method, his pupils shrank slightly and a sense of unease surged in his heart.

He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter. If the secret was revealed, his territory would be doomed.

"I know that we must act according to the plan and must not let Robin and Maliqi escape." He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, his voice full of determination and ruthlessness.

A knight in the corner regained some light in his eyes after hearing Robin's name.

"You're right, but I didn't listen to you."
