Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

In the instant he rushed into the darkness, Luo An's gaze locked onto two men dressed as villagers hiding behind the bushes.

They also saw Luo An, and hurriedly turned around and disappeared into the woods.

With nightfall fast approaching, if they were allowed to venture into the forest, they might use their familiarity with the terrain to shake off Luo An.

Upon reading this, Luo An suddenly lowered his body.

Wolf Jump!

Instantly, Luo An's thigh veins bulged, and he burst out along the ground, blocking the two of them.

The villagers were taken aback, and their expressions immediately changed.

"Sir Knight...we were just curious, we didn't commit a crime, did we?"

Luo An shook his head slightly, but did not move aside.

Seeing this, the two realized that Luo An knew their identities, their faces turned ferocious, and they pulled out axes from behind their backs, closing in on Luo An.

They were all dressed in hemp clothing, and I was facing an axe empty-handed. It was two against one, and even a knight would have little chance of winning.

Luo An took a step back and looked the two men up and down. The wolf's howl was too powerful; he had to think of a way to save their lives.

"You're just robbers, do you really want to fight me?"

The robber spat, "Get out of here if you know what's good for you!"

Before he finished speaking, Luo An charged at the nearest bandit. The bandit immediately swung his axe, but Luo An easily dodged it and punched the bandit in the chin, knocking him unconscious.

As he struck the chin, Luo An continued his actions, grabbing the swaying bandit's collar and slamming him down on his companion.

As the two groaned, Luo An picked up a logging axe from the ground and held it to their necks.

"Tell your people."

"We will not betray our comrades!"

This is troublesome; these bandit knights actually have a bit of a knightly air about them.

Fortunately, Roan wasn't a proper knight either.

He raised the axe high and brought it down heavily. Blood splattered everywhere.

The surviving robbers let out terrified screams.

Luo An frowned slightly. "Tell me your number of people, and your personnel configuration."

"I'll talk, I'll talk!" The bandit knight, as if seeing a devil, desperately tried to get away from Roan.

"There are eight more! Six are scattered in villagers' homes, and two are holding the priest hostage in the church! They are—"

A golden light flashed before Luo An's eyes as the [Monkey Typewriter] pieced together knowledge.

Several faces flashed through Luo An's mind; they were indeed the villagers he had seen that morning.

This at least proves that the robber was right.

They probably wouldn't lie.

"Lord Roan!" Jalley gasped for breath as he finally caught up with Roan.

"Did they catch the robber?"

Luo An nodded.

"I know the number of people now."

"As expected of Lord Luo An." Jia Li noticed the twitching corpse on the ground, but only glanced at it before looking away.

"What do we do next?"

"I can handle it." Only Luo An knows the bandits' faces. Handing it over to the guards would not only easily alert them, but also risk killing the wrong person.

It was nighttime, and the darkness provided cover for Luo An.

As for the one on the ground, in principle, he should be sentenced to hanging after trial, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Van Rij.

But bringing these guys back to Lorton would be too much trouble.

"I'll take care of it," Luo An said calmly. "You can go back now."

Jalley took a deep breath, his gaze hardening. "My lord, I'll do it."

Luo An nodded. "As soon as possible."

"Yes."

Jali gripped his longsword and walked toward the bandits.

The robber knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"My lord knight, spare me! Spare me! I was wrong, please spare my life!"

"shut up!"

The robber knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, his forehead slamming into the ground and sending dirt flying.

"My lord knight, spare me! Spare me! I was wrong, please spare my life!"

Jalley gripped his longsword, walked up to him, and looked down at the trembling man. He didn't look at Roan, his voice low and steady:

"shut up."

The robber trembled and dared not utter another sound.

Jalley took a deep breath and slowly began to speak:

"You, a bandit by profession, collude with accomplices, infiltrate villages, plunder the people, threaten their lives, and wield an axe in the shadows to murder knights' squires. You call yourself a bandit knight, disgracing the name of knights and dishonoring the knightly virtues of honor, loyalty, and protection."

"According to the laws of the Kingdom of Vanir, robbery is punishable by hanging, and the body shall not be buried."

Jali raised his longsword, its blade gleaming coldly in the twilight.

"I, Jalley, a guard of Lorton, am acting on the orders of Lady Roan Yunina, the Knight Squire, to carry out this execution."

As he uttered these words, Jalley gripped his longsword tightly.

The longsword fell.

Jalli trembled all over.

"Lord Luo An, I did it."

"Heh." Luo An chuckled. "You go back first and get a good night's sleep."

As for Luo An, he doesn't need to return to the camp.

Before the news leaks out.

With only a small knife, Luo An traversed the thick darkness and knocked on the village gate.

The first household, Josen, pretends to be a missing husband, blackmailing his young son and forcing women into prostitution.

Who is it?

"Routine patrol by guards."

The door opened, revealing a burly man. His face matched the one displayed on the [Monkey Typewriter] screen.

Upon seeing that it was a knight,

"Hello, Sir Knight. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Luo An's gaze passed over the man, and a disheveled woman stared at him expressionlessly.

The man stepped forward, blocking Roan's view. "Sir Knight, I'm closing the door now."

With a swift motion, he slit the man's throat, pressed the man's mouth shut, and gestured for the woman to shush.

The woman covered her mouth tightly, trying her best not to make a sound.

The woman burst into tears when the man stopped moving.

"Thank you, Sir Knight. I thank you on behalf of my child."

Relying on his memory, Luo An groped his way toward the next house.

There were no extra words.

Rather than killing, Luo An felt more like he was cleaning up something dirty.

Until the last household was cleaned up.

Luo An arrived at the church.

Two militiamen blocked Luo An's path.

"Sir Knight, Father Grog is resting."

When Luo An arrived in the morning, he hadn't noticed the two of them yet.

Looking back now, it's quite extravagant that a village church had two guards.

It's more like surveillance than protection.

"I'm here to see you." Luo An brandished his dagger.

The muffled sounds of fighting startled Grog, who was praying deep inside the church.

Those guys are hurting the villagers again.

Grogg frowned slightly and clenched his fists tightly.

"Great and merciful mother, please save this village."

"What wrong have we done? We only saved two wounded knights in exile. Why should we suffer such a trial? If you feel pain, please inflict it on me."

The silent church echoed with rhythmic footsteps, a stark contrast to the bandits' aimless movements.

A new guest has arrived. Could he be a lost traveler like the guards?

Can he save this suffering land?

Even so, Grogg dared not complain to anyone, because the villagers' fates were in the hands of the bandits, and he could not sacrifice any of them.

With a sigh, Grog stood up and saw Lord Roan, one of Levi's knights, carrying two heavy corpses and throwing them into the middle of the church.

"Mother!" Grog exclaimed in disbelief.
