Mount & Blade: Pendor Becomes a Dominator Starting with the Creation of a Self-Established Knigh

Stan strode towards Rogge.

In Roger's eyes, it was as if a prehistoric giant bear that had broken free of its chains was approaching!

This pirate leader was incredibly large; in Roger's opinion, he was only slightly smaller than Geese!

Rogge stood still, his hand gripping the longsword unconsciously tightening its hold.

Compared to this pirate leader, he was much thinner, and his once tall and upright figure now appeared rather frail.

The pirate leader stood a head or two taller than his team members, who were generally less than 1.8 meters tall.

Roger's gaze swept over his thick arms, which seemed as thick as his own thighs, and beneath the cloak of armor, there appeared to be a terrifying power capable of easily tearing through steel.

The power and influence this pirate leader wielded was unlike anything he had ever experienced before!

He subconsciously swallowed, and Roger's focus was instantly pulled to the extreme, as if the sounds of battle around him were isolated in another world.

A guerrilla soldier nearby saw the pirate leader pass by, gritted his teeth, and charged forward with his shield.

However, courage seems so pale and powerless in the face of an absolute power disparity.

Stan didn't even lift his eyelids. With a casual wave of his right hand, the gleaming dragonbone axe in his hand cleaved the guerrilla's shield in two.

Amidst the flying sawdust, the guerrilla soldier was terrified. Just as he was about to turn and dodge, Stan's axe caught up and landed heavily on his back...

Blood splattered instantly...

The guerrillas beside him were so horrified that they couldn't help but back away...

Stan didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground, and continued walking towards Rogge without pausing for a moment.

His eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, as if he were looking at prey that had already been marked with the sign of death.

Rogge took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging fear in his heart...

Reason told him that he should run!

But Roger didn't waste any words. He suddenly exerted force with his feet and thrust his longsword straight at Stan's neck.

This sword strike combined all his strength and speed, and the angle was extremely tricky.

However, a higher level is still a higher level.

What Rogge's attack, which was impossible for an ordinary person to dodge, was, in Stan's eyes, utterly insignificant.

Almost the instant Rogge thrust his longsword out, Stan had already seen through his intentions.

He slightly raised the round shield strapped to his left arm, and Rogge's longsword was steadily blocked.

In that split second, Stan's dragonbone axe in his right hand was already aimed at Rogge's shoulder and neck and cleaved down.

Fortunately, Rogge had full insight and clearly captured the trajectory of the axe's attack.

Almost at the same moment the axe blade fell, he jerked back and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

Roger broke out in a cold sweat; his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He had only one thought in his mind: "If I had been even half a second slower, I would have lost this shoulder!"

His speed was already fast enough, but compared to Stan, he seemed so slow.

My body still can't keep up with my intuitive reaction speed!

Simply because the opponent was too fast!

This fifth-tier pirate leader completely overwhelmed him in every aspect, whether it was strength, speed, or combat experience!

It was only at this moment that Rogge truly witnessed the terror of a fifth-tier powerhouse!

He is currently only level 25, merely a third-tier warrior.

There's a difference of two whole major ranks in between...

Stan saw that Roger had dodged his casual attack as if he had anticipated it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His gaze sharpened, his killing intent intensified, and he once again strode heavily toward Rogge.

This time, he was faster and his attacks were even more ferocious.

At that moment, Rogge had only one thought in his mind: "I cannot fight them by force!"

He could dodge one of the leader's casual blows, but he could never dodge such a deadly attack every time!

Rogge's gaze swept quickly across the battlefield, landing on Commander Ivar, who was fighting fiercely not far away. He exclaimed at the top of his lungs, "Ivar!"

He wanted to back out.

Stan gave him no chance to turn around, and the Dragonbone Axe swung like a whirlwind, forcing him to retreat in a sorry state.

Seeing that Rogge was in grave danger, Virgil immediately stopped fighting, turned around, and charged at Stan with his longsword in hand.

With their combined efforts, the two managed to barely withstand several of Stan's fierce attacks.

After all, they had all consumed experience candies, which significantly improved their strength.

Even so, the two were still forced to retreat by Stan, barely managing to hold on and having no chance to fight back.

Ivar also saw the danger on Rogge's side and wanted to rush over to help immediately.

However, several fourth-tier sea pirate warriors were holding him back.

These pirates were fearless and worked in perfect harmony, completely blocking all of Ivar's escape routes.

Not only Ivar, but all four of their core combatants were surrounded by more than a dozen third and fourth-tier sea pirates and couldn't break free at all!

Aino glanced at Roger and saw him and Virgil in dire straits under Stan's fierce attack, and her heart jumped into her throat.

She instructed her teammates:

"I'm going to help the leader. Everyone, hold the line! We must hold this position!"

"yes!"

After saying that, Aino turned and left the Shield Wall team.

She circled around to Stan's side and, taking advantage of the moment when he was fully engaged in dealing with the attacks of Roger and Virgil, launched a surprise attack.

Her swordsmanship was agile and cunning, and she repeatedly stabbed at the gaps in Stan's armor under his ribs.

However, Stan was extremely experienced in combat, and even when facing the fierce attacks of two people at the same time, he still had the energy to pay attention to the surrounding movements.

Faced with absolute power, Aino's speed and agility, which he was so proud of, seemed to have lost their effectiveness.

Rogge and Virgil launched a simultaneous attack on Stan, one from the left and one from the right.

Aino understood immediately and planned to bypass Stan's round shield and launch a sneak attack from behind.

Just as she circled around to Stan's side, preparing to draw her sword, Stan roared and forcefully swung his axe, simultaneously cleaving through the attacks of both Rogge and Virgil.

Without even glancing at Aino behind him, he turned around and kicked his right leg out backward.

The kick was swift and powerful, landing squarely on Aino's entire chest.

Aino felt as if she had been struck hard in the chest by a heavy hammer, and she flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

In the face of absolute power, any clever tricks and sneak attacks seem utterly ridiculous.

"Aino!" Roger exclaimed in a low voice.

Just then, several pirates burst in from the side and moved closer to Stan.

Roger's heart sank, and a chilling despair gradually crept into his mind.

I was too confident and too careless...

The two of them were already no match for the leader, and then came the reinforcements...

"Are we all going to die here today?"

Just as Rogge was about to order his men to retreat, shouts of battle suddenly came from afar.

"Kill them... fight these pirates to the death!"

"Charge!"

Roger looked up sharply and saw Old Kui leading thirty or forty militiamen, charging towards them from behind, shouting battle cries.

These villagers all had fierce expressions, their eyes filled with anger and determination.

Some of them carried simple round shields and one-handed swords.

Some were carrying one-handed axes.

Even more extreme, some carried wooden shields shaped like door panels and charged forward.

They fought fiercely with the pirates.

However, the huge gap in strength cannot be bridged by courage alone.

Most of these militiamen were only at the first level of strength, fighting solely out of sheer courage.

Many people were cut down by the ruthless pirates as soon as they started fighting, their screams echoing everywhere.

Fortunately, the Shield Wall under Rogge fought desperately and managed to stop at least half of the pirates from pouring in, which prevented the militia from collapsing instantly.

Seeing that Roger and Virgil were in grave danger in front of Stan, Old Quai immediately rushed behind Stan to relieve some of the pressure on them.

Stan noticed the commotion behind him.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he swung the dragon bone axe down at Old Kui.

Old Kui was startled and, in a panic, hurriedly raised his iron sword to parry.

"clang!"

A piercing sound of metal snapping rang out.

Stan's dragonbone axe first severed Old Quay's iron sword, then cleaved his round shield in two.

The axe blade continued its momentum, striking Old Kui's left hand with tremendous force.

"what!"

Old Kui let out a piercing scream as his entire left hand, which was holding the shield, was severed by the dragon bone axe, and blood gushed from the broken wrist...

The excruciating pain turned Lao Kui's face deathly pale, and he staggered back a few steps.

Before they could finish off the annoying fly, Rogge and Virgil attacked Stan again.

Stan blocked a combined attack from Rogge and Virgil, then used his arms to force both of them back several steps.

Stan's face was full of disdain, and his eyes were filled with contempt.

He licked his lips, turned around, and prepared to deal with the old man with the missing hand behind him first...

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Stan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and a searing pain shot through his ankle.

He felt his legs buckle, his center of gravity instantly lost its balance, and his massive body uncontrollably fell to the ground...

……

Aino had already rolled to the side. She had been enduring the sharp pain in her chest after being kicked away, and she was squinting as she looked for an opportunity.

While the pirate leader was completely unaware of her presence, she quietly grabbed the fallen longsword, and with the last of her strength, slashed it down at Stan's ankle...

The girl's longsword slashed deep into Stan's ankle, hitting him squarely!

Aino finally exhausted herself; the longsword had reached its limit, cutting into bone. Without hesitation, she abandoned the sword, leaving it stuck in Stan's ankle bone.

With a few quick rolls, she instantly left the center of the battle and reached the edge. Her mouth was full of blood, and the pain in her chest was so intense that she could barely breathe...

Rogge had already foreseen all of this!

A glint flashed in Roger's eyes. From the moment Aino quietly picked up the longsword, Roger was already prepared to go all out.

Without the slightest hesitation, Roger used all his strength to aim at Stan's exposed neck and thrust it out!

Stan, whose center of gravity was unstable, had no way to stop this sword strike!

Losing his balance and falling due to inertia, no matter how strong he is, without a point of support, he could never turn around and block in mid-air!

Rogge aimed his longsword at Stan's exposed neck and plunged it in hard!

This sword strike was as fast as lightning!

A tearing sound rang out as Rogge's longsword plunged effortlessly into Stan's neck, emerging from the back of his neck.

Stan's body stiffened abruptly as he lay on the ground. He tried to raise the dragonbone axe in his hand in a final struggle, but his body was no longer under his control.

The massive body convulsed violently.

Virgil seized the opportunity to deliver the final blow, aiming for the neck, and plunged the longsword in once more...

Only a dead enemy is a harmless enemy...

Looking at the nicked sword stuck in the neck of the pirate leader,

Roger glanced at the "Dragon Bone Axe" in the pirate leader's hand.

Rogge silently stepped forward and pried the heavy dragonbone axe from the tightly clenched hand...

He tried it out; the dragon bone axe's blade gleamed with a cold light, and it felt quite good in his hand...

As the light in Stan's eyes dimmed completely, a message suddenly popped up deep within Rogge's consciousness:

[Assist in defeating the level 45 pirate leader to gain 50% experience points: +11250 experience points!]

"Over 10,000 experience points?"

"assist?"

"Only 50%?"

"Virgil! What have you done?!"
