Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 180 Can You

Madam Aisha turned her wrist, and the bauhinia flower suddenly exploded, turning into light spots scattered all over the sky.

Every time a point of light fell into the body of the Bauhinia Knight, the vine patterns on their breastplates suddenly came alive, pulsating like blood vessels.

“But to harvest.”

The corners of Lady Aisha's lips curled up in a chilling arc.

"Duke Hawke is colluding with the remnants of the Mechanicum and intends to bring disaster to the Western Territory. For the sake of the Western Territory, we must take action."

In response to her, the Bauhinia Knights collectively drew their swords and pointed them toward the sky.

The brilliance of the bauhinia flowers was reflected in Leo's white pupils. He snorted coldly and suddenly plunged the heavy sword into the ground.

"Click——"

With the sword as the center, spider-web-like cracks instantly spread over a hundred meters. An underground water channel was pierced, and groundwater shot up into the sky like a fountain.

"Knights of the Knights Guild!" Leo's single eye swept over the two second-level warriors behind him, "Three hundred years ago, we were able to drive the Mechanicus out of the West."

He drew his sword and pointed it at the crumbling castle ahead, a pale flame burning on the blade.

"Today we can crucify Duke Hawke at the gates of Upper Obedi! For the West, for glory! For the Knights Guild."

"For the West! For the Knights Guild! For glory!"

Lady Aisha and Leo looked at each other, and the two leaders raised their hands at the same time.

"Redbud Knights, listen to my orders!"

"Guild Knights, listen to my orders!"

The aura of fifteen legendary strongmen exploded, and the sky and the earth changed color.

Four second-level warriors stepped into the air, and the energy surrounding them distorted the space.

"From today on!" Lady Aishaer pointed her redbud staff at the figure of Duke Hawke at the highest point of the castle. "There will be no more mechanical disasters in the West!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

The roar of three thousand cavalrymen shattered the clouds, and the storm caused by the charge crushed the huge rocks along the way into powder.

The spears of the knights in the front row were wrapped with redbud poison mist and star marrow flames. Wherever they passed, the ground cracked and the air burned.

At the forefront of the charge, Lady Aisha and Leo transformed into two streams of light, one purple and one white, and were the first to rush into the temporarily summoned star gate.

The decisive battle begins now!
The scene of the awarding ceremony.

"From today onwards, the Western Territory will usher in a new life!"

Duke Hawke's speech spread throughout the city through the energy of the astral marrow.

In the square, the newly promoted knights were forced onto the mechanical transformation platform, and glowing star marrow crystals were implanted in their spines.

The nobles watching the ceremony had not yet realized that the crystals were quietly releasing energy fluctuations that rewrote consciousness.

Suddenly, bauhinia patterns appeared on the square's floor tiles.

"Now," Lady Aisha's voice echoed from all directions, "please enjoy the true meaning of destruction!"

Twelve purple-gold beams of light shot up into the sky and accurately hit twelve hidden nodes in the square.

As the earth's crust shook violently, a star gate made of pure energy rose from the ground.

This is a simple star gate that can only transmit short distances, but it can determine the direction of the war at critical moments.

Duke Hawke looked at everything before him and roared, "Knights Guild, have you forgotten who helped you in that critical moment?"

Duke Hawke's roar had not yet dissipated when twelve purple-gold chains suddenly shot out from the star gate and wrapped around his limbs like poisonous snakes.

Lady Aisha stepped out of the twisted rift of space and time, a strange light emanating from the tip of her redbud staff. "Give us a hand?" she sneered, tapping her staff. "Are you talking about using the astral marrow to control my three legendary knights?"

"Pfft!"

The chains suddenly tightened, and the Duke's mechanical armor groaned under the heavy burden.

The star marrow crystal on his chest flickered wildly, trying to break free from the restraints, but he saw Leo's figure stepping out from the other side of the star gate, and the heavy sword with pale flames chopped down on his head!

"clang--!"

At the critical moment, the mechanical wings behind the Duke suddenly spread out, and six alloy blade limbs held the heavy sword.

The newly transformed knights on the viewing platform suddenly turned around collectively, with golden light shining in their eyes, and launched a suicidal charge towards the star gate.

"Array up!"

The three legendary warriors of the Bauhinia Knights formed seals at the same time, and the bauhinia vines growing wildly on the ground formed a wall of thorns.

The first mechanical knight who crashed into it was instantly pierced by the vines, but the star marrow energy exploding in his body also blasted a huge gap in the thorns.

"Second team, switch to armor-piercing arrows!"

The sharpshooters in the rear of the Knights Guild's knights quickly occupied the commanding heights.

The moment the arrow tail was ignited, the temperature of the entire square dropped sharply, and wherever the arrow passed, the moisture in the air condensed into ice crystal trails.

"Swish swish——"

Three arrows pierced through the head of a mechanical knight at the pinnacle of legendary knighthood, nailing him to the bronze pillar of the ceremonial platform.

The frozen star marrow crystal cracked open with a snap, revealing the beating human brain inside.

On the other side of the square, inside the Duke's residence.

Robin's Tang sword silently slashed across the throat of the last guard.

Feng Ling's eyes glowed with a faint blue light in the darkness, and her fingertips tapped the wall of the corridor, and the data stream spread like ripples.

"The account books are in the triple-encrypted cabinet in the main study." She lowered her voice, "But Duke Hawke's personal butler is a bishop of the Mechanicum, with terrifying power reaching the second level. He monitors the entire mansion. We only have a three-minute window."

Robin's pupils shrank slightly. At the end of the corridor, the remains of a headless mechanical knight were twitching strangely, and the star marrow crystals on its spine were flashing a dangerous red light.

"That thing is sending an alarm." He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly. "We must act quickly."

The mechanical interface of the wind chime pierced the door lock, and the sound of the gear turning had just sounded for the third time when Robin suddenly pulled her back!

"boom!"

The spot where he had been standing was smashed to pieces by a metal spike cage that fell from the ceiling.

The study door slid open automatically, revealing a suffocating scene inside. Hundreds of account books were suspended throughout the room, each wrapped in a star marrow energy field, and the ground was covered with sophisticated gravity-sensing traps.

"Typical Hawke style." Feng Ling sneered, "Displaying the evidence like a work of art."

"Found it!" She pointed to the black leather ledger in the center, which was inlaid with a gear emblem. "But the moment you take it out, the Night Watch will..."

Robin's knife was faster than her words.

The Tang sword flew out of his hand, and the star-like patterns on the blade shone brightly.

When the tip of the knife pierced the cover of the account book, the entire room's defense system suddenly fell into a strange stillness.

Robin caught the fallen account book, flipped through a few pages, and confirmed that this was his target this time. "Now we can retreat."

The alarm suddenly sounded throughout the mansion.

The alarm from the Duke's Mansion was immediately transmitted to Duke Hawke. Duke Hawke's face changed instantly and he looked at Lady Aisha and Leo.

"You still have extra manpower."

Lady Aisha smiled proudly and said, "He's a second-rank knight. I wonder if the night watchman in your mansion can stop him."
