Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Luo An didn't respond, but instead turned to Levi's.

"Sir Knight, may I make a request of you?"

Levi nodded regretfully; he had indeed misjudged the person.

The young stable boy in front of us, at the last moment, recognized reality and made a wise move—choosing to give up.

However, this move also led Levi to give up on Roan.

A stable boy is ultimately just a stable boy.

"Little guy, ask me anything." Levi's attention was no longer on Roan.

Luo An raised his head and stared directly at Jia Li, his gaze frighteningly bright.

"Sir Knight, if I can defeat this gentleman in three rounds, could you also let me be your second-in-command?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the militiamen erupted in uproar.

They could hardly believe what Luo An was saying and whispered among themselves.

"Is this little guy crazy? Jally could take him down with one punch, and he's saying something like that."

"Jiali's so petty, he'll be furious!"

As the militiamen said, Jalli was so angry that his face turned red. He had never been insulted like this before. He swung his wooden sword, making a whooshing sound.

"You little brat! What are you saying?! Take back your words and apologize to me, you blind slave!"

Roan glanced at Jally and cautiously confirmed with Levi.

"My lord knight, did I misspoke?"

"No. Quiet down, you bunch of idiots." Levi also snapped out of his daze. He waved his hand to silence the noisy militiamen and turned his gaze to Roan.

Only then did Levi truly begin to look at the stable boy.

"No, what I said applies to you too, but little one, are you—are you sure?"

"No, I'm not sure," Roan shook his head. He was telling the truth. It would be unwise to rashly provoke someone stronger than him.

"But I will do it."

"Very good, little one."

Reeves's eyes were filled with appreciation. After teaching the militia for so long, he had finally discovered a true gem.

"I've said it before, the best men here can become my squires. Jally, what do you think?"

Jalley was panting heavily. If it weren't for Levi's presence, he would have definitely taught this arrogant little guy a lesson.

"Let him come, my lord!"

"Very good. Jally, remember, don't kill anyone," Reeves said, taking a few steps back to give the two men more space.

"As for you, little one, go ahead and do it. Let me see what you can do... Once you're ready, the competition can begin anytime."

Back to the center of the contest, this time, Jally transformed from a foolish youth into a panting bull, eager to attack.

However, it made no difference to Luo An.

Taking a deep breath, Luo An stepped out with his left foot and stepped back with his right leg, keeping his body as low as possible. He slowly raised the hilt of his sword above his shoulder, level with his line of sight, and pointed it at Jia Li's throat.

Ok?

Levi's expression brightened, and Roan's movements changed to a standard stabbing stance.

This little guy actually abandoned defense and chose to attack.

The instant he assumed his starting stance, Jalley stepped forward. Though angry, his breathing was remarkably rhythmic. His imposing stature made him appear like a fortified wall, closing in.

Luo An kept his body low to the ground and held his breath.

Just as Jalli was less than three steps away from Roan, he raised his wooden sword high and, with a whooshing sound, slashed it down hard at Roan's forehead.

However, Roan was faster. His wooden sword suddenly thrust out and struck Jali's sword-wielding arm. Jali felt the pain and his sword-wielding hand became crooked. Roan easily dodged the attack and quickly retreated.

A thrilling contest.

Levi couldn't help but nod. Utilizing one's own strengths to exploit the enemy's weaknesses wasn't difficult for a warrior.

For a stable boy, this was enough to be called genius.

Fortunately, it was a wooden sword; if it had been an iron sword, that blow would have pierced Jali's hand. The outcome would be decided immediately.

Levi didn't stop the match; he was more interested in seeing what Roan would do after Jally became more prepared.

Jally's face turned even redder from the injury. His hand, where he had been stabbed, hurt terribly, but he was more furious at being hurt by Roan than at the pain.

Fortunately, he also figured out Luo An's trick, changing his attack from slashing to sweeping, using his arm and wooden sword to deliver a sweeping blow that far exceeded Luo An's reach. He continued to close in on Luo An.

After several sweeping attacks, Luo An had already expended a lot of energy just dodging them, and his breathing had become somewhat heavy, but he was not injured at all.

On the contrary, Jalley was breathing more heavily.

"Come on, little mouse! Are you scared? You don't even have the courage to look me in the eye."

Luo An wasn't in a hurry; he just needed to wait for an opening...

At that moment, a prompt suddenly sounded in my mind.

Fight against giants and boost all attributes...

It's here! Luo An suddenly felt that his strength and speed had increased a lot; this was the power of the entry.

At the same time, Jiali swung his longsword, but instead of dodging, Luo An strode forward and swung his sword as well.

court death!

Everyone saw Roan swing his sword at Jalley, and given the huge difference in their sizes, Roan's sword was as fragile as a fire poker.

With this sword strike, Luo An would surely be cut down by Jia Li, sword and all.

Boom!

The two wooden swords collided violently, producing a sound that made one's teeth ache.

After a brief stalemate lasting less than a breath, Jiali took a half step back, his longsword was knocked away, and the force of the blow caused him to stagger and fall to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, his longsword fell into his hands.

Jali immediately grabbed the longsword, but before he could get up, a wooden sword was placed against his neck.

You lost.

Luo An was breathing heavily, and even had some energy left. He gestured to Jally with his eyes not to move, and then turned to look at Levi.

"Sir Knight. I—"

Clap. Clap clap clap clap. After a brief moment of surprise, Levi applauded sincerely.

"A brilliant battle. Little guy, no, I should call you Roan."

"Congratulations on becoming my second-in-command. My name is Levi Inter. Black Iron Knight, Levi." Levi placed his right hand on his shoulder, bowed slightly, and gave a standard knightly salute.

This means he truly approves of Luo An.

Even though the militiamen were reluctant, they all applauded. From this moment on, this lowly serf, like them, became a militiaman.

No, no, even taller than them.

Roan is the knight's second-in-command, or squire, and will most likely be their leader.

"Congratulations, Lord Luo An..."

Roan hadn't forgotten Jalli. He turned and looked down at the tall militiaman.

Jalley looked away.

His face was deathly pale as he faced the mocking gazes of his companions and the eyes of Luo An. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

It wasn't until Roan removed the sword from Jally's neck and reached out first that things began to unfold.

"Do you need help? My name is Roan. Roan Yunina. I don't have a surname; that's my adoptive mother's name."

This unexpected move made Levi nod in approval; he had not only discovered a warrior, but also a true knight.

"Luo An, are you hungry? You can go and have something to eat first. Tell the maids to share the meat I was given with you, I don't need it."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Roan's throat was a little dry; he had used up a lot of energy that morning. He definitely needed to eat.
