Wizard's Journey

Chapter 543 Decapitation Sword Muichi

Two years later.

Just as Green had predicted, as the demographic dividend began to emerge, Lingwei City, which had been completely suppressed by Moth Frog City, gradually began to have the drive to launch a counterattack, and it became increasingly fierce.

In ordinary human knightly wars, it usually involves several dozen knights from both sides engaging in a few brief charges, leaving behind a few corpses on each side to determine the victor, and then they leave on their own.

Some knightly wars involving tens of thousands of people could only be formed by a great lord leading a large-scale noble allied knight legion, enough to be talked about by the common people of a small region for a hundred years.

It is precisely because of this that the legendary knight's power is revealed.

After all, most knightly wars are just skirmishes between dozens or hundreds of people.

On the Rocky Mountain iron mine, the mature and resolute Mu Yi held a broadsword. Frequent combat experience had made this legendary knight even stronger than before. The vigorous blood energy on his body seemed to be burning, making those who got close feel a surge of excitement, like a giant furnace.

"Damn it, Ling Weicheng's group is here again."

A knight behind Mu Yi, riding on his warhorse, looked into the distance and spotted a group of over a hundred Lingwei City knights.

Over the past month, small-scale knight wars have frequently broken out in Sawtooth Mountain, with casualties on both sides almost every day. As the wars have become more frequent, the reputation of the decapitation swordsman Mu Yi has spread throughout Lingwei City, making him the number one wanted enemy.

On the vast iron ore workshops in the mine.

Mothfrog City is garrisoned year-round by a knight guard of over two hundred men, who, together with another two hundred men from the Blood Agate Mine, form a defensive alliance. This is the maximum force that Green can mobilize after protecting Mothfrog City.

After all, Green can't keep relying on encouraging and inspiring the unemployed knights in Mothfrog City to selflessly dedicate themselves to the city; passion can only sustain a short-lived burst of enthusiasm.

The other knight behind Mu Yi took out a horn.

With a horn blaring, dozens of knights were quickly assembled in a short while, while the remaining knights rushed over from other directions of the mine, their fine metal armor clanging incessantly.

This is the economic advantage of Moth Frog City transformed into an equipment advantage.

In comparison, the equipment of the Lingwei City knights was far inferior, with only the most basic equipment, and even their warhorses were somewhat inferior in physique to those of the Mothfrog City knights.

"charge!"

Mu Yi raised his greatsword high, shouted, and led dozens of knights who had been urgently assembled behind him as they roared down the hillside.

Although the number of knights that Mu Yi had hastily assembled was somewhat smaller, their advantages in terrain and equipment were enough to make up for it, coupled with the confidence brought by the legendary knight Mu Yi...

Ding!

The broadsword clashed with a warhammer, and feeling the immense power emanating from the warhammer and the raw energy emanating from the opponent, Mu Yi was startled.

Legendary Knight!

Lingwei City also possesses a legendary knight!

After a brief initial exchange of fire, Mu Yi's Mothfrog City Knight squad, with its superior position and equipment, suffered only one injury, while Ling Weicheng lost seven men to their horses, four of whom never rose again, lying in pools of blood.

"Hmph, Decapitation Greatsword Mu Yi, prepare to face the wrath of Lingwei City's Storm Hammer!"

This legendary knight of Lingwei City looked to be in his fifties, with a white stubble beard. He was short but strong and powerful. In the brief contact, Mu Yiqing sensed that his strength was significantly inferior to his opponent's. He only managed to hold his own by charging from a higher position and taking advantage of his warhorse.

However, this time, with the two sides switching positions for the second attack, the other side will have the advantage of a higher vantage point.

The iron hooves of warhorses galloped across the gentle hillside grassland, splashing up large amounts of mud that mingled with the smell of crushed vegetation. The knights of Mothfrog City and Lingwei City once again engaged in a brief exchange of charges.

This time, the result was that five people from each side fell from their warhorses, but only three people from the Moth Frog City side stood up, while four people from the Lingwei City side stood up, highlighting the obvious advantage of the terrain.

Mu Yi's arm, which held the broadsword high, trembled slightly, and his warhorse panted restlessly.

This legendary knight from Lingwei City, nicknamed "Storm Hammer," is indeed stronger than me. It seems he is a legendary knight who has returned from his travels, or perhaps the Lord of Lingwei City hired him from elsewhere through some means.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it, that guy is a legendary knight just like Mu Yi!"

The knights behind Mu Yi stared in astonishment at the Storm Hammer. The power and symbolic significance of a legendary knight over ordinary knights were self-evident.

"Hahahaha, the decapitation sword Mu Yi, we'll be clashing frequently from now on, and the victory in the war will gradually tilt towards our Lingwei City side, hahahahaha!"

After Storm Hammer finished shouting and brandishing his iron hammer, Mu Yi, having gathered another group of mine knights behind him, abandoned his plan for a third charge and led over a hundred knights away.

Mu Yi gritted his teeth, feeling unprecedented pressure.

Suddenly, Mu Yi couldn't help but recall Grandma Vivian's kind face and the question, "Are you really willing to remain a legendary knight in Mothfrog City forever?"

Mu Yi exhaled the pent-up breath in his chest.

"This is a perfect opportunity to become stronger by taking advantage of this legendary knight, Stormhammer!"

…………

one year later.

"Damn it, during last month's rotation, Lord Green only sent fifty knights here. At this rate, we can forget about defending this iron mine!"

The flames flickered in the night, and Mu Yi's trusted knight, who was eating roasted meat and drinking strong liquor, complained.

No wonder, not only has Ling Weicheng been harassing and attacking more frequently over the past year, sometimes even two or three times a day, but the number of knights appearing on the other side has also been gradually increasing.

"If it weren't for Commander Mu, I wouldn't have been confident that I could have held on until now. Look, these iron workshops are starting to close down. It's obvious that these guys don't think the situation here is promising either."

The slightly thin but shrewd knight also complained.

Glug, glug, glug, glug...

An old knight gulped down several mouthfuls of strong liquor, then chuckled drunkenly, "Stop complaining! You'd be better off eating more meat and taking down another Ling Weicheng guy tomorrow, hmph hmph hmph."

Mu Yi remained silent, his broadsword slicing the roasted meat into perfectly even slices, each only half a centimeter thick, the aroma of the fat filling the air.

"Bring some chili peppers over."

This was the only sentence Mu Yi uttered that night.

…………

Inside the city lord's mansion of Mothfrog City, Green smiled as he scrutinized the three legendary knights.

That's right, they are three legendary knights!

Green issued high-level mercenary missions to the merchant guilds connected to Mothfrog City, allowing these guilds to find suitable high-level mercenary groups outside the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy. With Green's high bounty, three mercenary groups with legendary knights came to apply.

These three legendary knights represent not only themselves, but also the mercenary groups they formed, and dozens of knights who have been living on the edge of death for years.

"Tell me about your respective mercenary groups."

Green sat in the high chair and spoke calmly.

Competition?

The first legendary knight stepped forward, his white eyebrows framed by a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes. He seemed to be the most experienced of the three legendary knights.

"The Blazing Flame Mercenary Group consists of one active legendary knight, fifty-seven elite knights, and a legendary Blazing Bird!"

When the legendary knight leader spoke of the Flame Bird, his voice rose noticeably. The three-meter-long Flame Bird that circled high above the city lord's mansion had indeed astonished many people in the small town, who looked up in awe. The large bird's figure was as light and graceful as flames, and it possessed the power of fire.

Even for the Strange Knight, this Flame Bird can be considered a powerful support partner, as its fire attack can reach a temperature of over forty degrees.

The second legendary knight stepped forward. Standing two meters tall with a large belly, his massive body creaked on the wooden floor of the hall, exuding an indescribable aura of oppression.

"The Roaring Earth Mercenary Group has one active legendary knight and eighty-four elite knights."

Green nodded.

Clearly, this mercenary group was just an average mercenary group with nothing special about it; its only advantage was its numbers.

Green looked at the third mercenary group, and the third legendary knight was a woman.

"The Magnolia Will Mercenary Group consists of one active legendary knight, thirty-four elite knights, and one magic apprentice!"

Ok?

Not only Green, but the other two legendary knights also looked at the female knight in surprise. She had a wizard apprentice!?

Green narrowed his eyes, trying to discern deeper information from the female knight's appearance.

Although both are legendary knights, this female knight is noticeably weaker in developing her bloodline power. It even seems that some external force is helping her to activate her bloodline power, similar to the initial auxiliary steps for a wizard apprentice learning bloodline magic.

Moreover, the female knight's physique was actually stronger than the other two legendary knights, but judging from the soul fire of hers, Green was only about twenty or thirty years old, which was obviously only possible with the help of some magical potions.

In that case, it must be the favor of that wizard apprentice.

"A wizard's apprentice?"

Green's gaze drifted out of the hall, where he saw an old wizard apprentice whose soul fire was waning and dissipating, whose aura bore a striking resemblance to that of the female knight.

It seems that this female knight must be a descendant of the old wizard's apprentice.

The legendary knights of the Roaring Earth Mercenary Group and the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group turned pale. They never expected this unknown mercenary group to actually...

It seems there's no hope for this mercenary mission.

But this was unavoidable. Having a wizard apprentice, and this wizard apprentice was definitely the most powerful kind, far superior to the Flame Bird and dozens of knights.

Just as the two were feeling disappointed and sighing, Green smiled faintly and said, "Good, Flame Mercenary Group, Roaring Earth Mercenary Group, and Magnolia Will Mercenary Group, you have all passed the test. For the next two years, Mothfrog City will provide you with the corresponding rewards according to the contract."

What?!

They've all been hired!?

Does Mothfrog City possess such wealth?

Hiring a mercenary group of this caliber would cost a considerable amount of resources. Even though Mothfrog City has developed somewhat in recent years, it clearly cannot afford such compensation.
