The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

Chapter 95 Baptism of Blood and Fire

The battle continued, and the knights' charge killed at least twenty magical beasts. The fully armored knight squads were incredibly effective at charging.

In an instant, the mini-demon tide shrank by one-fifth.

Leo, mixed in with the team, felt his blood boiling, and his secret technique—Heart Steel—was quietly stacked on his entire chest and back.

"Change formation!"

Pluto's shout, clearer than any other roar, rang out: "Circular formation! Form ranks and fight!"

The knights quickly regrouped and formed a circular formation, with their backs facing inwards and their horses' heads facing outwards.

The fearless monsters swarmed around them.

The leader of the velociraptor-like Shadow Beasts, glowing with blue-purple light, roamed around the perimeter. It wasn't very bright; despite the Shadow Impact being ineffective against the knights, it kept looking for opportunities to launch Shadow Impact again and again.

With the Shadow Beast's physical strength, its melee combat effectiveness far surpasses that of Shadow Impact.

But it was precisely the Velociraptor leader's flawed fighting style that suddenly reduced the pressure on the Little Demon Tide.

After the knights formed a circular formation, they slowly and methodically killed the monsters.

Raise your guns!

Swing your sword!

Holy light battle aura frequently bloomed at night, and the three great knights, adorned with holy light battle aura, specifically filled the most intense directions of the attack. Their battle auras, shrouded in white light, were almost as bright as Leo's glowing body.

Leo not only had holy light emanating from his gleaming armor.

The secret technique—Heart Steel—was also constantly stacking up, spreading from the torso to the limbs, and after a moment, the hands, feet, and head were also stacked up.

Moreover, he would occasionally draw his sword and unleash a swirling sword beam.

This sword beam can fly more than ten meters away, and even if a magical beast dodges, it will still be caught up and struck by the sword beam.

It was none other than the secret technique—Sharp Light Slash.

While fighting, the old knight Rhodes still had the energy to observe his surroundings. He was astonished to see Leo easily unleash a sword strike.

"Such a fast Glimmering Slash! Young Master Leo's talent in martial arts probably surpasses that of Young Master Neant." The more he watched, the more incredible it seemed. "How come it feels like—it's even a few degrees faster than the adult's Glimmering Slash?"

Although Rhode doesn't know the ancestral secret technique of the Glowing Mushroom family—the Glimmer Slash—he has seen it too many times.

Comparing the two.

I increasingly feel that the glitter slashes that Leo unleashes are faster at condensing than those unleashed by Baron and Neander.

As for its power, it varies from person to person, so it's difficult to judge.

However, in terms of speed, Rod firmly believed that Leo's Glimmering Slash was faster.

Moreover, Leo clearly possesses another secret technique, a unique technique that Rhode has never seen before.

It can actually form a protective shield similar to a fighting aura on its body.

Although this secret technique will likely become useless by the time you reach the Grand Knight stage, it is really useful at the Knight stage.

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid the world has misjudged him. Young Master Leo may have mediocre talent in cultivating battle qi, but his mastery of martial arts is genius-level—if Young Master Leo had the opportunity to contract a phantom beast—"

Just then.

A demonic beast had already silently rushed over, its blood-red maw tearing through Rhode's battle aura. Although its mouth was also mostly corroded by the battle aura, the remaining half of its mouth still viciously bit towards Rhode's neck.

pat!

A long spear pierced through the monster's gaping maw, exploding its brain and killing it instantly.

Harrison's voice then drifted over: "Lord Rhodes, don't get distracted."

Rhodes then came to his senses and was startled. Although he was wearing armor, the armor had gaps, and if he were bitten by a monster, it wouldn't be pleasant.

"Thank you, Mr. Harrison."

After thanking him, he composed himself and quickly threw himself into the battle.

In a short while, hundreds of magical beasts were quickly wiped out by the knights' circle, which was like a meat grinder.

The Little Demon Tide crisis was quickly resolved.

Only the last Velociraptor Shadow Beast leader remains.

"Roar!" The velociraptor roared, seemingly wanting to call on the monsters to attack, but unfortunately there were no monsters left on the field that could stand up.

It attempted Shadow Strike again, but without success.

So it finally began to fight for its life.

However, the knights changed formation again, forming an inward-facing circle that surrounded the velociraptors, thrusting their lances wildly to block the velociraptors' attack from all directions.

The velociraptors are becoming increasingly agitated.

Suddenly.

Its short forelimbs swung, and its sharp, knife-like claws instantly grew more than ten times their original size, piercing towards the surrounding knights like sharp arrows.

"Be careful!"

Pluto roared.

Rhodes and Harrison quickly switched positions with the ordinary knights, using their battle aura and dark armor to block the attack of the long, nail-like spikes.

Take this opportunity.

More attacks surged towards the Velociraptor, the spears piercing its body like machine guns.

Leo was no exception; he abandoned his secret technique—Sharp Light Slash—and instead used the most primitive spear to plunge it fiercely into the Velociraptor's body.

The only female knight, Camille, had lost her lance in the battle, and her mount, the Shadow Horse, had died in the monster's charge. But she bravely gripped her sword with both hands, charged to the velociraptor, and unleashed a fierce barrage of sword strikes.

From top to bottom, it's a common guillotine move in martial arts.

Click.

The velociraptor's head was thus severed.

With the Shadow Beast Leader's head severed from its body, the battle ended, and Bruto quickly ordered the knights to scatter and finish off the remaining enemies.

Then, he walked sternly to Camille and said, "You've made a grave mistake. You acted rashly. Do you think this is a display of bravery? No, you've disrupted the knight squad's formation. In a real battlefield, your actions would have killed all your comrades!"

Camille opened his mouth, unsure how to refute.

She's not very bright.

Just now, I was driven entirely by my fighting instincts, thinking it was a good opportunity to decapitate someone, without thinking too much about it.

So after a long pause, he could only manage to stammer, "I'm sorry."

Leo rode over on horseback, his secret technique—Heart of Steel—dissipated, and acted as a peacemaker: "Lord Pluto, the battle has just ended. Let Camille have some fun, and we'll teach her a lesson when we get back."

"Yes," Pluto nodded.

Then, forcing a smile, he patted Camille on the back: "Go, help the knights clean up the battlefield."

O

Camille grinned foolishly and ran away quickly.

Old Knight Rhodes also came over: "Young Master Leo, today was truly a glorious victory. Our knight squad won a complete victory against a small demonic tide in our first battle, losing only a few Light and Shadow Warhorses."

"Indeed, a glorious victory." Leo looked at the monster corpses scattered on the ground from his horse, feeling great.

Although the battle aura resonance disappeared after the battle, the body felt extremely tired after the excitement.

But the results were brilliant.

Hundreds of magical beasts can contribute hundreds of magical beast crystals, not to mention that there is also a Shadow Beast that can take out Shadow Stones.

Moreover, after the fierce battles, the Swamp Manor Knights Squad has undergone a baptism of blood and fire, successfully transforming themselves from rookies into knights capable of fighting tough battles.

Rod smiled and reminded him, "Young Master Leo, would you like to give it a try? Before the Shadow Beast leader's corpse solidifies, you can remove the Ghost Whip from its body."
