Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 53: One vs. Three

A dazzling red light appeared on the left side of his vision. His combat experience during this period made him rush to the right without thinking.

Almost at the same time, a black energy bullet whizzed like a small cannonball and hit the place where he had just stood.

With a loud bang, the battlements were shattered, bricks and stones flying everywhere. Robin was thrown to the ground by the blast, and a lot of dust and debris fell on him.

"Wizard!" Robin's heart trembled. He quickly turned over and stood up, searching the crowd with eyes as vigilant as a hawk.

In the blink of an eye, all the doubts that had been lingering in his mind were completely resolved at this moment, like the sun shining through the clouds.

He instantly understood why Lord Blot was so obsessed with hunting down the wizard.

The reason why the Black Bear Thieves' Gang had wizards to help them was no accident. It all stemmed from the fact that both sides were in a life-and-death situation from the very beginning.

As for the death of Grand Knight Damia, it was merely a victim of the power struggle between the two sides, mixed with the ridiculous and fragile balance among the nobles.

The next second after this thought flashed through his mind, Robin stood up from the battlement more than ten meters away like a ghost.

His movements were clean and neat. The pulley compound bow in his hand was already fully drawn, the bowstring was as taut as a full moon, and it made a buzzing sound.

The feather arrow on the string actually contained a faint ochre light, and as the light flowed, it revealed a mysterious and powerful power.

"Earth Explosive Arrow!" Robin shouted softly. Although his voice was not loud, it carried an indomitable momentum.

"call out!"

The feather arrow, which contained great power, shot out like a meteor, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and flew accurately towards the giant python approaching Knight Malizzi.

These giant pythons are modified creatures driven by wizards. Their appearance is posing a huge threat to Malizi and others.

The feather arrow instantly hit the giant python's vital point, as if a bomb exploded in its body.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar echoed, and the powerful impact spread outward from the explosion point. The giant python's body was instantly blown in two, blood gushing out like a fountain, and its huge body collapsed to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

Malizzi and the others were startled by this sudden turn of events, but soon realized that it was Robin who came to their aid.

They did not dare to delay for even a moment, and took advantage of the brief chaos in the bandit group caused by the death of the giant python to quicken their pace and continue fleeing south.

Robin stood on the city wall, watching their receding backs with a determined gaze, silently praying in his heart that they could escape safely.

The next second, Robin felt a strong energy wave coming. He turned his head and saw a black energy ball wrapped in a breath of destruction, flying towards him like a black meteor.

Robin's eyes flashed, but he didn't panic. His figure flashed like a ghost, and he avoided the fatal blow with a seemingly nonchalant gesture.

The black energy ball flew past the corner of his clothes and slammed heavily into the city wall behind him. Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and a huge gap was blasted out in the wall.

Immediately afterwards, Robin quickly moved to another location and quietly appeared on another city wall.

Scanning the battlefield, he finally saw the two spellcasters.

It was the same wizard he had fought before, only now, beside him was another wizard also dressed in black robes. A strange aura emanated from both of them, their black robes rustling in the wind, like messengers from the dark abyss.

"Two wizards!" Robin couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself that something was wrong.

Facing one wizard is already difficult enough, and now with two wizards joining forces, this is undoubtedly a battle that is almost impossible to win.

"Now you're scared." At this moment, Raymond also climbed onto the city wall. He had a smile on his face, but that smile was as cold as the frost in winter, and his eyes flashed with dangerous and greedy light.

Obviously, with the city gate breached, their goal has been achieved. In Raymond's eyes, there is no point for Robin to continue living.

"Haha, what a generous deal!" Robin smiled bitterly and shook his head, his heart full of helplessness and unwillingness.

He knew he was in a very difficult situation, with little chance of success. He slowly put the pulley compound bow into the quiver, his eyes still firm, without the slightest fear.

"Still resisting?" Raymond's cold, mocking voice echoed from the city wall. He waved his hand dismissively. Three knight puppets, their eyes hollow and radiating a strange aura, charged at Robin without hesitation, like controlled killing machines. Their steps were heavy and measured, their weapons flashing with cold light, piercing the air with a sharp whistle.

Robin's face was solemn, but his eyes were as firm as iron.

Without any hesitation, he quickly drew out the Tang sword from his waist.

The blade was unsheathed, making a crisp sound, which was particularly eye-catching on this tense and depressing battlefield.

Taking a deep breath, Robin's eyes swept over the swordsmanship in his mind that showed he had entered the second level. A complex emotion surged in his heart, including confidence in his own strength and a clear understanding of the desperate situation in front of him.

He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and tried to isolate his heartbeat and breathing from the chaotic rhythm of the battlefield.

Gradually, his breathing became steady and deep, and every breath seemed to be accumulating endless strength.

At the same time, he mobilized the life force in his body, just like when he condensed the earth-explosive arrow.
Carefully but decisively, he covered the Tang sword with the life force.

This Tang sword carries Robin's countless efforts and expectations.

Robin took great pains when forging it.

Not only did he utilize the exquisite craftsmanship of Damascus steel to give the blade its unique texture and toughness, he also spent a great deal of time and energy experimenting with dozens of metal materials. Through countless attempts and failures, he sought only to find a material that would minimize the consumption of Life Force and provide the best Force-conducting effect.

When the life force and the Tang sword were perfectly integrated, the blade emitted a faint glow, as if it was given life.

Robin suddenly opened his eyes, with a sharp light flashing in them. He gripped the Tang sword tightly, with his feet slightly apart, in a fighting stance.

At this moment, he was like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey, exuding a chilling aura.

The first knight puppet rushed to Robin first, raised the sword in his hand high, and slashed at Robin with great force.

Robin's eyes flashed, but he remained calm. He slightly turned sideways and avoided the fierce attack at an extremely clever angle.

At the same time, he swung the Tang sword in his hand, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, heading straight for the throat of the knight puppet.
