Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 9: Transforming Organisms (Seeking Investment and Support!)
"Knight Commander! We're being attacked by monsters." Robin shouted with an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

In this world where sword and magic coexist, the meaning of "monster" is extremely broad. They have various shapes and strange abilities and are often more troublesome than ordinary enemies.

Upon hearing this, Knight Malizzi's expression became more serious. He quickly looked around, trying to catch any trace of the monster.

"Everyone, don't panic. Maintain your formation! Pay attention to your surroundings and follow my instructions."

His voice was steady and powerful, trying to calm everyone's panic.

Eric gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, beads of sweat on his forehead. He lowered his voice and said to Robin: "What on earth is this thing? How can it suddenly appear and disappear?"

Robin shook his head, his eyes never leaving the darkness. "I don't know, but he's definitely not a good person. Be careful."

Lily also approached them nervously, her hands trembling slightly, but her eyes showed a firmness. "No matter what it is, we will face it together."

Thomson hid behind the crowd, his voice trembling: "I hope we can get through this safely."

At this moment, the fog seemed to become even thicker, and the surroundings were eerily quiet; only the nervous breathing of the crowd could be heard.

The next second, another cry of surprise was heard. It was sharp and terrifying, like a blade piercing through the thick fog, clearly reaching everyone's ears. The sound came from the direction of Knight Fitz's team. Then, Knight Fitz's furious roar followed. That roar contained endless power and rage, as if he wanted to tear the enemy before him into pieces.

Then, there was a loud bang, the sound of which made the ground tremble slightly, followed by the sound of a heavy object crashing to the ground. In this silent and fear-filled atmosphere, it seemed particularly abrupt.

"Has the attack been received?" Robin whispered to himself subconsciously, his eyes full of confusion and tension. He stared at the direction where the sound came from, trying to see the situation over there through the thick fog.

However, before he could come to his senses, the next second, the system suddenly sent out a rapid alarm. The sharp sound echoed in his mind like a death spell.

At the same time, a red light kept flashing on the right side of his field of vision, which was extremely eye-catching.

"The enemy is attacking from the right." Robin reacted almost instantly. Out of absolute trust in the system, he did not hesitate to accumulate all his strength in the sword, and with a desperate momentum, he slashed towards the right with the sword.

"Qiang!"

A crisp and loud sound of metal collision was heard. This time, Robin clearly felt that he had hit something, as if he had hit an extremely hard stone, which made his arm numb.

He looked carefully and saw that the sword had only penetrated half an inch and could not move forward any further.

In the hazy fog, a dark shadow could be vaguely seen. It was huge and twisted, emitting a disgusting stench.

The outline of the black shadow was looming in the fog, like a demon from hell, staring at Robin with cold and evil eyes.

Just when Robin and the shadow were in a stalemate, Sylvan, the strongest among the knight apprentices, made a move.

His eyes were as fast as lightning as he locked onto the black shadow. He slammed his feet against the ground and rushed towards the shadow like a streak of black lightning.

The battle axe in his hand was raised high, flashing a cold light in the dim light.

Then, Sylvan roared, and the axe blade, with a tremendous force, chopped down heavily on the black shadow.

The force of this attack was so overwhelming that the air could be heard with a whirring sound.

There was a crisp sound, as if something was being severed. The black shadow was directly chopped away by this powerful force, drawing a black arc in the thick fog, and then fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

"Good reaction, young man!" Sylvan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer. He turned to look at Robin, his eyes showing both admiration and a hint of conceit.

Sylvain is already in his thirties and is at the peak of his knight's apprenticeship.

For many years, he has been working hard to break through that last step and become a formal knight, but he has never been able to take this final step.

Despite this, his strength still stands out among all the knight apprentices.

His muscles bulged high, full of strength, and every movement he made revealed the calmness and ruthlessness of a veteran in the battlefield.

Robin breathed slightly and gave Sylvain a grateful look, "Thank you, Lord Sylvain!"

At this moment, Robin had a deeper understanding of Sylvan's strength.

Based on his judgment of the Knight's Breathing Experience in the system, Sylvan's Knight's Breathing Experience should be above 950.

After all, that thundering blow just now was not only incredibly powerful, but judging from Sylvan's rhythm of exerting force and his control over the force, it was definitely not something that an ordinary knight apprentice could do.

Just when everyone was on edge, the black shadow that was struck and flew in the air rolled over and finally revealed its true face before falling heavily to the ground.

It turned out to be a giant python that had been transformed beyond recognition. Its size was beyond imagination, and it was dozens of feet long.

Its body is like a wriggling hill, winding and twisting, emitting a terrifying aura.

There are sturdy armor and shields nailed on many places on the giant python's body. Those armors have different shapes, some are square, some are round, and of different sizes, but they are closely arranged together, covering most of the giant python's body.

The surface of the armor is engraved with strange runes, emitting a faint cold light, as if telling of some evil magical power.

The material of these armors seemed extremely hard. Robin's full-strength sword strike just now only left a half-inch deep mark on it, and Sylvan's axe, which was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, only chopped it away without causing fatal damage.

The giant python's head was raised high, its triangular skull was twisted and deformed, and two huge fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth, dripping with dark green venom, corroding small pits on the ground.

Its eyes were like two dark green lanterns, emitting an eerie light, filled with endless malice and bloodthirsty desire. It was staring fiercely at the people in front of it, as if looking for its next target to attack.

Robin stared at the giant python that had been transformed beyond recognition, his eyes full of confusion and vigilance. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this a monster?"

His voice was particularly clear in this tense atmosphere.

The other knight apprentices looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion.

They had seen many strange creatures, but they had never seen anything like the one before them.

Everyone's face was filled with confusion and anxiety, and their eyes revealed fear of the unknown.
