Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 104 The Battle of the Great Knights! (2nd update, 3800 words, please subscribe!)

The year 1010 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the month of Blazing Fire.

This summer in Icewind City seems to be cooler than usual.

Although the weather was comfortable, Li Wei knew it was not a good sign.

The cooling of the climate is most likely due to the "magic tide".

Perhaps one day in the distant future, the entire Northern Territory will be plunged into a state of extreme cold, like that of the far north!

And then there were those troublesome snow demons. Thinking of this, Li Wei felt increasingly anxious.

I must become a wizard as soon as possible, enter the realm of the unbelievers, and stay away from these dangers.

During this period, Earl Silvermount's army has been conducting high-intensity patrols in Icewind City every day.

Regardless of whether the Wilderness Brotherhood's army arrives or not, they are already prepared to fight the enemy.

Meanwhile, the Silver Mountain Earl's vassal territories were continuously sending troops and supplies to Icewind City.

Li Wei rented a house and quietly began his spiritual practice.

Because the breathing techniques of the Siren, Giant Rhinoceros, and Spider-Man are all at their current limits, and there are no secret medicines for the Giant and Planarian, Li Wei spends most of his time practicing the Black Serpent and Blood Whale breathing techniques, as well as the Golden Cross Slash.

He would still visit the Shining Tavern regularly, hoping to find what he needed, only to be disappointed time and time again.

On this day, Li Wei was returning from the Shining Tavern, on his way back to his lodgings.

Suddenly, the sound of bugle calls for assembly came from the direction of the city wall.

Li Wei's heart stirred.

"It seems the Wilderness Brotherhood's army has arrived."

He put on the white wolf mask, changed his posture, and used his superior agility to head towards the city wall.

On the city wall, squads of soldiers gathered, their faces solemn as they gazed at the approaching army on the wilderness. The army was densely packed, and at a rough glance, it seemed to number nearly ten thousand.

Earl Silver Mountain personally donned armor and led the army. His red cloak paired with Leviathan armor made him look imposing and extraordinary. He held a long spear in his hand and gazed intently at the approaching army.

The army stationed in Icewind City numbered only two thousand men—the entire army of Earl Silvermountain. They were elite, fully-trained soldiers. In addition, along the city's main road stood a two-hundred-man squad of heavy cavalry mounted on high mountain steeds—Earl Silvermountain's elite "Silver Assault Team." These heavy cavalrymen, all armed with spurs and accompanied by cavalry squires, would break through enemy formations with unparalleled ferocity once the battle began, then, in conjunction with elite infantry, reap the lives of the enemy.

Outside the city, the Wilderness Brotherhood's army looked rather meager. At the front of the army was a shield-bearing square formation, responsible for providing cover for the soldiers behind and protecting them from arrow attacks. Apart from this shield-bearing force, behind them was a bunch of seemingly vulnerable ragtag militia.

However, at the very rear of the army were four colossal beasts clad in heavy armor. These beasts had single horns, stood over four meters tall, and weighed over ten tons. They were the "Icefield Rhinoceroses," unique to the northern plateau. All four Icefield Rhinoceroses were clad in heavy armor tailor-made for them. Combined with their already tough and thick-skinned physique, they were the Wilderness Brotherhood's trump card and a powerful weapon for attacking the city!

Clearly, Earl Silver Mountain hadn't expected the Wilderness Brotherhood to be able to acquire such a rare war beast.

Although the Icefield Rhinoceros is gentle and rarely harms people, that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Its massive size alone is enough to overwhelm most knights below the rank of Grand Knight. If it weren't for the fact that its defense and attack power are inferior to the Earth Dragon Beast, this guy's fame might not be much less than that of the Earth Dragon Beast.

Now that these giant rhinoceroses are heavily armored and their defensive weaknesses have been addressed, things might get a little tricky next.

The four giant beasts shook the earth when they walked, which was terrifying.

The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Seemingly sensing the soldiers' fear, Earl Silver Mountain frowned slightly, then shouted, "No need for panic, everyone! I will personally kill these four behemoths!"

When Earl Silver Mountain spoke, the soldiers' morale was boosted, and the situation improved somewhat.

Li Wei had already slipped out of the city and was hiding in the wilderness, feeling the earth vibrate.

"Wow, the Wilderness Action Club is really showing some strength this time."

He quietly awaited the outbreak of the great battle. Once the battle broke out, he could take advantage of the chaos to capture some people, inquire about the whereabouts of the Boar Rider, and then go to seek revenge on the Boar Rider. He could also rescue Old Toby, which would be a way of giving the hardworking Milan a proper explanation.

The leader of the Wilderness Brotherhood was a top-tier knight. He wielded a meteor hammer and stared coldly at Earl Silver Mountain, seemingly not very afraid of this great knight.

Before long, a fierce battle broke out.

In the wilderness, the boulders launched by the catapults thundered away.

On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city rained down arrows.

The four giant rhinoceroses of the ice plains, like tanks, charged towards the city gate and walls, braving countless arrows.

Earl Silver Mountain leaped down from the city wall, like a silver war god, and charged towards the four giant beasts.

Once these four behemoths are dealt with, his heavy cavalry can easily break through and divide the enemy's formation, and then things will be much easier.

While the two sides were locked in battle, Li Wei also made his move. White Wolf Mask appeared on the dusty battlefield and then easily disappeared with one person.

"Tell me, where is the Boar Rider?" Levi asked coldly, staring at the bewildered Wildlands Brotherhood soldier.

"Huh? I don't know."

With a snap, the soldier's head was turned 360 degrees.

Li Wei found another new person, who seemed to be a captain and had the strength of a near-knight.

Of course, in front of Li Wei, it was still like crushing a chick, completely powerless to fight back.

"Tell me, where is the Boar Rider?" Levi asked.

"Who are you? Let me go! Do you want to die?" the captain struggled.

He only calmed down after Li Wei crushed his shoulder blade.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is the Boar Rider? My patience is limited, don't disappoint me," Levi asked coldly.

"I'll talk, I'll talk... Don't kill me. The Boar Rider, it seems he was sent out on a mission by our vice president. I don't know exactly where he went. I'm just a squad leader, while the Boar Rider is the head of the equipment department. I really don't know his whereabouts..." the squad leader said hurriedly.

"Where is your vice president? What's his strength?" Li Wei asked.

"Our vice president is on the battlefield; he has the strength of a Grand Knight."

"Okay, you can go die now."

Li Wei strangled the squad leader to death and then hid in the wilderness.

"Wow, when did the Wilderness Brotherhood become so strong? The vice president is already a Grand Knight?" Levi wondered.

"Why is it so hard for me to get revenge on the Boar Rider?" Li Wei said, speechless.

"Never mind, let's wait and see what this vice president's strength is. Since he's on the battlefield, why didn't I see him earlier?" Li Wei secretly observed the battlefield situation.

At the same time, his sharp eyes noticed that the Silver Mountain Knight, who was fighting with four Icefield Rhinoceroses, was completely unaware that in a corner of the battlefield, a bald figure riding a heavily armored warhorse, wearing armor and wielding a giant axe, was advancing savagely, sending Silver Mountain soldiers who blocked his way flying one by one, some of whom were directly split in two by the giant axe.

"die!"

A bald, burly man ambushes Earl Silver Mountain!

An axe struck Earl Silver Mountain in the back.

Although Earl Silver Mountain had dodged in advance, he was still hit.

The axe, wreathed in black mist, failed to cleave through Leviathan's armor.

However, the enormous impact sent Earl Silver Mountain flying, spitting out blood on the spot. Upon seeing this, the other commanders immediately opened the city gates, and hundreds of heavily armored cavalrymen, gripping their spurs, charged in with earth-shaking force.

Even a bald, burly man had to temporarily steer clear.

Earl Silver Mountain's face was gloomy. He took the opportunity to stand up, holding his silver spear, and looked at the smug bald man.

"Who are you? I didn't expect there to be a great knight I don't recognize in the North." Earl Silver Mountain coughed, feeling a tightness in his chest, and asked.

"Hehe, it's normal that a great knight as noble as Earl Silver Mountain doesn't recognize an unknown like me. But soon, you nobles will know my name."

"Remember this: I am the gravedigger of your nobility! Warrior Athos!"

The bald, burly man dismounted, leaped over the crowd, and with a sweeping, earth-shattering axe, charged towards Earl Silver Mountain.

"You worthless rat! Die!" Earl Silver Mountain remained fearless, raising his spear to kill!

As the spear and axe flashes clashed, no one dared to approach the spot where these two great knights clashed; to get close and be struck meant certain death.

The responsibility of dealing with the Icefield Giant Rhinoceros ultimately fell to the "Silver Charge" and several other high-ranking and top-ranking knights guarding the city. They were all Earl Silver Mountain's right-hand men and extremely powerful.

Li Wei was sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight. His original intention was not to let Icewind City be breached. If the defenders couldn't hold out, he wouldn't mind taking action and killing those beasts.

However, the situation is not too bad yet. It is obvious that even though the bald vice president launched a sneak attack first, causing Earl Silver Mountain to be slightly injured, he is still no match for Earl Silver Mountain. After several rounds of fighting, the bald man has fallen to the bottom.

"This must be the difference in breathing techniques. Actually, that bald giant's fighting skills are in no way inferior to Earl Silver Mountain's, but Earl Silver Mountain's breathing technique is of perfect quality, while the bald giant's is definitely of excellent quality. That's where the difference comes in," Li Wei commented.

After observing the fight between the two men.

Li Wei was now confident, even without using the Frost Giant's Sigh.

With his current top-tier defense, speed, and strength, plus the Golden Cross Slash, he should be able to go toe-to-toe with a burly man like the bald giant.

With the addition of his mastery of magic seals and poison techniques, his chances of winning should be over 70%.

If I use Frost Giant's Lament, my chances of winning are 99%.

The reason I didn't say 100% is because Li Wei is rather conservative and worried about unforeseen circumstances!

Even so, Li Wei will not underestimate his opponent; he will go all out and launch a saturation attack!

Li Wei continued to observe the battlefield. He didn't want the bald giant to die here. He still needed to interrogate him to get him to reveal the whereabouts of the boar rider.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the bald giant realized he couldn't defeat Earl Silver Mountain. His breathing technique was inferior, and his armor was no match for Earl Silver Mountain's Leviathan Armor. In just a few moves, Earl Silver Mountain's mithril spear pierced through him, and he was also stabbed in the abdomen, bleeding profusely.

This made Earl Silver Mountain realize even more deeply how invincible the armor forged by Master Terra was!

Meanwhile, Atos, the vice president of the Wilderness Brotherhood, simply decided to retreat, letting the Icefield Rhinoceros continue its charge to hold off the Silver Mountain Knights.

He then disappeared into the army.

He thought that after advancing to the rank of Grand Knight, he should be about the same level as the Silver Mountain Knight, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the strength of the Silver Mountain Knight, especially the Silver Mountain Knight's battle armor, which was far superior to his own and was clearly a work of artisan level!

This infuriated Athos. If it were ordinary battle armor, his initial axe strike might have severely injured the opponent!

He wasn't originally the commander-in-chief of this battle; he was only there to carry out a decapitation strike. Now that the decapitation strike had failed, he had no choice but to retreat and make further plans.

Li Wei mingled among the army, hiding in the shadows. He needed to get close to the bald man in order to unleash the Sigh of the Frost Giant.

Soon, the vice president had led a small team away from the battle area.

"Damn it, this Silver Mountain Knight must have been hiding his strength all along."

Athos, riding his horse, was very dissatisfied.

Just then, the great knight's keen senses detected an aura rapidly approaching.

At the same time, the sound of arrows whistling through the air could be heard.

He turned his head and saw that all his men had fallen.

A figure wearing a white wolf mask rushed over at an exaggerated speed.

A cross-shaped sword light struck, which Atos blocked with his giant axe, which was also wreathed in violent black energy!

"You're from Yinshan? Die!" he roared, unleashing his full power!

The clang of metal on metal echoed as Li Wei's figure grew taller and stronger amidst the crackling sounds, white vapor billowing through the woods.

Beneath the white wolf mask, Li Wei smiled.

A cold wind howled, and behind him, the majestic phantom of a frost giant rose up amidst a sigh. The giant looked at Atos with the gaze one would give an ant, and snapped his fingers.

I woke up with a fever of 38.6 degrees Celsius this morning. I took the day off from work, took fever reducer, and will sleep all day.

Thank you all for your support and donations. There will be another update tonight.
