Lord Wizard

Chapter 16 Peak Knight

"kill!"

Knight Harvey, leading the charge, wielded a silver spear and swiftly thrust and slashed with the speed of a dragon, clearing away any obstacles that had been hastily erected along the way.

The other knights, relying on the armor on their horses, charged wildly, tearing apart the battle formation. Soldiers in their path were sent flying by the immense force that even regular knights had to avoid, leaving rivers of blood.

"Your Excellency, is there some misunderstanding? Viscount George has not offended Marquis Alfonso!"

Kovis stopped the charging Knight Harvey and hurriedly asked.

"George sent men to assist his brother Johnson in wiping out Baron Bell's entire family. This shows that Lord Leylin is the Marquis's most valued talent, and the Marquis is seeking justice for Lord Leylin this time."

Seeing that the Silver Armor Legion had broken through the defenses of Kovis and his men, Gerald said with no more concern.

"We were unaware of this matter, if we had known..."

"Further words are useless; I'll deal with you."

Before Kovis could finish speaking, Noah, seeing Harvey at a disadvantage, immediately followed up and stopped the high-ranking knight for him.

Seeing this, Harvey decisively gave up on getting entangled with Kovis and went to find Captain Duncan.

Eileen and Jerak also began searching for their own opponents.

"Leylin, Johnson has long since left the Viscount's mansion. His actions have nothing to do with us. Your constant harassment is nothing more than an attempt to seize my Ubabo territory. Aren't you afraid I'll take your trickery to the Noble Council?"

George strode out of the lord's mansion and angrily rebuked him.

"My Bell family was destroyed by you. Even if you take it to the Council of Nobles, I am not afraid."

Upon seeing George appear, Lin Meng immediately ordered the other knights, "Kill all the rebels and seize the lord's manor."

Having said that, he drew his sword, leaped from his wildebeest, and charged toward George.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

George moved swiftly. Seeing Lin Meng charging towards him, he was unafraid of Lin Meng's longsword. His silver spear shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, aiming straight for Lin Meng's head.

Lin Meng knew the principle that "an inch longer, an inch stronger," and with a quick movement of his sword, he changed his attack into a block.

"Bang!"

Lin Meng blocked George's shot, used the momentum to turn around, and nimbly pounced on George, closing in on him and striking again.

George took a step back, pulled his spear back, and used the hilt to deflect the sword. At this moment, his body was fully extended, like a drawn bow. With the force of the step back, his right foot kicked directly at Lin Meng.

Although the effort was hasty, the knight's strength was so great that the air seemed to make a soft sound as he kicked out.

Just as George's kick was about to hit Lin Meng, Lin Meng suddenly accelerated, dodged the kick with a flash, and thrust out his long sword like an arrow released from a bow.

"not good."

Before George could react, the sword, gleaming with a chilling light, pierced through his chest.

"laugh!"

The sound of a longsword piercing flesh rang out.

"you……"

George's eyes widened suddenly, a look of despair on his face.

Just as Lin Meng was about to draw his longsword, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

At the same time, Irene and the others shouted, "Watch out!"

A shadow closed the distance to Lin Meng like lightning, the resulting wind pressure and the friction between the air in the void creating a whistling sound.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Lin Meng had always been the one to suddenly burst out with speed to assassinate his enemies, but now, faced with a similar attack, he instantly realized that he was at a disadvantage.

Once struck by a sword...

He will die!

In that life-or-death moment, Lin Meng's thoughts raced at lightning speed.

The Grand Knight-level agility not only made him more nimble, but also enhanced his neural responses.

"Bang!"

All the power in his body surged from his feet, and with a tremor in the ground, Lin Meng retreated violently, narrowly escaping from the sword light.

"Zira!"

"Bang!"

The sharp sword light struck Lin Meng's shoulder armor. Although it did not sever his arm, the power contained in the sword sent him flying backward. He landed on the ground and staggered back six steps before crashing into an obstacle that had just been cleared by the Silver Knights before finally stopping.

Without even a chance to retaliate, Lin Meng lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, and retreated at top speed, instantly escaping the knight's attack range.

The mysterious knight looked at Lin Meng with some astonishment, seemingly not expecting that Lin Meng would dodge his sure-kill sword strike.

His explosive speed in that instant...

Even the Great Knight is nothing special!

"Henry, it was you?! Count Farrell, how dare he assassinate the Marquis's men!"

Gerald exclaimed upon seeing the unfamiliar knight.

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about. Viscount Barton and I have been friends for many years. Now that I see you daring to attack the Viscount's territory without cause and kill Viscount George, Viscount Barton's son, how can I let you have your way?"

Henry, the knight at the pinnacle of his career, was unaffected by Gerald's words and directly brought up the deceased Viscount Barton, leaving no room for further evidence.

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword again, charging towards Lin Meng: "A blood debt must be paid in blood!"

"Damn it!"

When Covis saw Henry appear and charge at Lin Meng, a bead of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

Henry the Bear! He's one of Count Farrell's four great knights, a figure who has been a peak knight for nearly ten years.

Now that Lin Meng clearly has the support of the Marquis of Alfonso, what does it mean that Count Farrell still sent Henry to assassinate him?

This is a game between the Marquis of Alfonso and the Earl of Farrell; perhaps Linmont and Henry are both pawns in their game.

Now that Viscount George is dead, if he rashly intervenes in the struggle between Marquis Alfonso and Earl Farrell, the consequences could be disastrous if either side pursues the matter!

"Sir Noah, one should fulfill one's duty in one's position. I am Viscount George's knight, and it is my duty to fight for Viscount George. Now that Viscount George is dead, I have no reason to be an enemy of Baron Linmon. Please allow me to leave."

"Kevsky said in a deep voice."

Noah glanced at Henry, who was chasing Lin Meng, and his sword strike slowed down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kovis withdrew and retreated rapidly. With a few leaps, he quickly left the battlefield and fled towards the outskirts of the town.

"Keep an eye on him as he leaves!"

Noah gave an order to one of his subordinates, then drew his sword and charged towards Henry, shouting, "Henry! I am your opponent!"

"Covis!?"

Henry watched as Covis abandoned Noah and fled, a flash of anger crossing his face.

He intended to bypass Noah's interception and pursue Lin Meng, but Lin Meng was too agile. Even without Noah's intervention, killing Lin Meng would not be an easy task.

"Damn it, a mere baron actually possesses such a secret technique!?"

Henry had no choice but to turn his sword against Noah: "I don't believe his secret technique can last long. I'll kill you first, then Lin Meng!"

"Your Excellency, you may proceed!"

Noah shouted.

Henry was a pinnacle of knighthood, only one step away from becoming a Grand Knight. His confidence was not deterred by his status as a high-ranking knight.

"Walk?"

Viscount George's territory was within his grasp, how could he possibly just leave like that?

Lin Meng felt the ring she was wearing close to her skin...

With this enchanted item, I'm quite confident I can kill Henry in one blow; however, I'll use my trump card in a life-or-death moment...

He looked up, his gaze immediately falling on the lord's manor.

The World Fragment can strengthen itself by acquiring new territories. In other words, if it can occupy this territory, gaining an additional 16,000 square kilometers, its body will inevitably be strengthened again. At that time...

"Eileen, take over the Viscount's mansion as quickly as possible."
