Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 70 Accident
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Robin opened the door and found Monroe standing outside with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Robin, there's an incident at the mine!" Monroe said hurriedly, "An expedition team has discovered a high-level magical beast deep within the mine. The situation is extremely dangerous, and we need your support immediately!"

Robin's eyes instantly became sharp. He quickly grabbed the Damascus steel sword and the pulley compound bow, and said firmly: "I'll be there right away!"

Monroe nodded, turned and led the way.

Robin followed closely behind, his heart full of fighting spirit.

This mission is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity.

He planned to use global experience to improve his basic meditation method. If possible, he would have to rely on global experience to improve his meditation method in the future.

Robin stood at the entrance of the mining area, his eyes scanning the gathered crowd, and he was slightly startled.

Twenty-four knights have gathered here, including two great knights. Their auras are calm and powerful, and each one is stronger than the great knight Damia.

What surprised him even more was that the third-class wizard apprentice with a weird temper also appeared at the scene. He was standing aside, holding a crystal-inlaid staff in his hand with an indifferent expression.

"It seems that the situation this time is more serious than we thought." Robin whispered to Monroe.

Monroe nodded, his tone solemn. "That high-level monster is incredibly powerful. It's said to have injured several knights. The mine supervisor had to call in all his men, even wizard apprentices."

Robin's gaze lingered on the wizard's apprentice for a moment, as he pondered something in his mind.

The power of wizards is crucial when dealing with high-level monsters, especially those wizards who can cast area magic, who can often turn the tide of battle at critical moments.

At that moment, the mine supervisor approached. His face was grim, and his tone was filled with anxiety. "Everyone, this is an emergency. I won't waste any more time. That high-level monster is a Rock Armor Earth Dragon. Not only does it have extremely strong defenses, it can also manipulate rocks to attack. We must deal with it quickly, otherwise the safety of the mine will be compromised."

"Rock Armor Earth Dragon?" Monroe was startled. "I've seen descriptions of this monster in books. It lives deep within mineral veins, feeds on ore, and can manipulate rocks for attack and defense. It's an extremely formidable opponent."

The supervisor continued, "We've formulated a battle plan. The two great knights will be responsible for holding the enemy from the front, while the other knights will attack from the flanks. The wizard apprentices will be responsible for casting magic to weaken the Rock Armor Earth Dragon's defenses. Everyone, be careful and don't act alone!"

"Robin, join me." Monroe patted Robin's shoulder with a hint of trust in his tone.

Robin nodded and looked at Monroe with a firm gaze: "Okay, let's act together."

Monroe patted Robin's shoulder, a trusting smile on his face. "With you by my side, I feel much more at ease. This mission is not easy. That Rock Armor Earth Dragon is not easy to deal with."

Robin clenched the Damascus steel sword in his hand, and said with a hint of confidence: "Don't worry, if you can't beat me, I will take you away with me."

"Haha, how come you said what was in my heart?" Monroe smiled and put his arm around Robin's shoulders.

The two quickly joined the knights and headed deeper into the mine.

The light in the mine was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth. Occasionally, low roars could be heard from afar, as if reminding them of the threat they were about to face.

As Robin walked, he adjusted his breathing rhythm and practiced the Dragon-Devouring Breathing Technique to keep the life force in his body full.

"Robin, have you noticed?" Monroe whispered, a hint of caution in his tone, "The roar of that Rock Armor Earth Dragon is getting closer, and the frequency of the ground shaking is also increasing."

Robin nodded and looked around: "It may have sensed our presence. Everyone be careful and be ready to fight at any time." At this moment, there was a sudden violent vibration in the mine ahead, and then a huge rock fell from the top of the cave, directly blocking their way.

"Oh no! It's coming!" a knight shouted.

Robin quickly pulled the pulley compound bow and stared straight ahead.

The huge body of the Rock Armor Earth Dragon slowly emerged from the darkness. Its body was covered with thick rock armor, its eyes flashed scarlet light, and it spewed hot steam from its mouth, like a monster crawling out of hell.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" The two great knights shouted the order and then rushed forward first.

Robin didn't hesitate, quickly drawing his bow and aiming his arrow at the Rock Armor Earth Dragon's eyes. He knew that this monster had extremely strong defenses, and only by attacking its weak points could he inflict effective damage.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew through the air, heading straight for the Rock Armor Earth Dragon's eyes. However, just as the arrow was about to hit the target, the Rock Armor Earth Dragon suddenly raised its front paws to block the arrow.

The arrow hit the rock armor with a crisp sound, but failed to cause any damage.

"He's really not easy to deal with." Robin muttered to himself, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

At that moment, the Rock Armor Earth Dragon let out a deafening roar, then raised its front claws and slammed the ground. The ground instantly cracked, and countless sharp rocks pierced out from the ground, attacking the knights.

"Be careful!" Robin shouted, dodging quickly. His movements were agile and swift, and the effect of the Snake Breathing Technique was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Monroe and the other knights also dodged, but several knights were still stabbed by the rocks and screamed in pain.

"I can't go on like this!" Robin thought to himself. He quickly pulled the pulley of the compound bow and aimed at the Rock Armor Earth Dragon's eyes again.

This time, he injected the life force in his body into the arrow, and the arrow suddenly appeared with a faint ochre light.

"Earth Explosive Arrow!" Robin shouted in a low voice, then released the bowstring.

The arrow shot out like lightning, heading straight for the Rock Armor Earth Dragon's eyes. This time, the Rock Armor Earth Dragon had no time to block it, and the arrow hit the target directly.

"boom!"

The arrow exploded in the Rock Armor Earth Dragon's eye. The huge impact force made it roar in pain and stagger backward.

"Well done!" Monroe shouted loudly, then rushed forward waving his sword.

Robin didn't stop, and continued to draw his bow and arrow, aiming at the other eye of the Rock Armor Earth Dragon.

Only by completely depriving it of its eyesight can we create more opportunities for the knights.

"Whoosh!"

The second arrow flew through the air and hit its target again. The Rock Armor Earth Dragon completely lost its sight and frantically waved its front claws, trying to attack the surrounding knights.

"Now!" The two great knights shouted orders and then led the knights to launch a fierce attack.
