Lord Wizard

Chapter 86 Guarding the Temple

"Wow, that's fast!"

Erwin stared grimly at Lin Meng, who burst out of the jungle.

Lin Meng didn't pay attention to Kidd, who was entangled in a battle with two great knights. He wouldn't be in any serious trouble for the time being. On the other hand, Zuoqiu was only a mid-level knight, but he had to face Nicole, a high-level knight, and another knight at the same time.

With the addition of several knights who had been providing cover on the outer perimeter, he was already struggling to hold on for only a short time.

Lin Meng deflected several swords that were simultaneously slashing at Zuo Qiu with his sword, and instantly grabbed a trainee knight by the neck with his left hand, twisting it forcefully.

"Snap!"

Neck fracture.

The apprentice knight was tossed aside by him like a chick.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Erwin sensed the life force field emanating from Lin Meng and hurriedly shouted.

Upon receiving the order, everyone stopped fighting and quickly retreated to his and Richie's side.

"Your Excellency, this is a misunderstanding. We previously thought you were just outsiders, but it turns out you are fellow members of 'Light of the Sky.' It's truly a case of 'no fight, no friendship.' We are under the command of Lord Isaacs, the 'Guardian of the Temple,' and he even knows your Guild Master Locke!"

Erwin said to Lin Meng with a smile.

"Isaacs, the 'Guardian of the Temple'?"

Lin Meng knew about this guardian temple.

It's a game studio in the neighboring city of Shire. The studio isn't very strong, with only one official wizard, Isaacs. His strength and background are far inferior to Blue Flame's, so in the wizarding world, they didn't try to occupy territory for long-term development. Instead, they survived as mercenaries and adventurers.

"Just because you're from the 'Guardians of the Temple' doesn't mean you can freely enter our 'Light of the Sky' territory and kill people?"

"It's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Besides, your 'Light of the Sky' suffered no casualties, and we are willing to compensate for any other losses."

"Irwin said."

"compensation……"

Lin Meng remained expressionless.

In the real world, companies have never cared much about the lives of natives in the wizarding world. Those with stronger abilities might have some value, but ordinary people are really like ants.

There were once psychologically disturbed individuals in the wizarding world who took pleasure in killing.

"My lord, we are currently at war with the 'Flame Tower,' and it is indeed not advisable to antagonize the 'Guardian Temple' as well."

Zuoqiu whispered from the side.

Lin Meng stared at the dozen or so people opposite him. If they really made a move, his side only had Kidd, Zuoqiu, and a knight—four people in total. They might not be able to stop everyone on the other side, especially considering the formal wizard behind them…

"Since you want compensation, leave the scaled beast hearts in your backpacks, and I will not pursue the matter further."

"You guys are being way too ruthless."

When Richer saw that Lin Meng wanted to take the heart of the scaled beast they had worked so hard to obtain, he immediately became angry: "You're just a bunch of local knights. If you die, we can just recruit you again. We're already willing to apologize. Your demands are outrageous."

"Indeed, your request is excessive. A few apprentice knights are all you need. How about this, we are willing to offer 10,000 gold coins as compensation. This amount of gold coins is enough for you to recruit a dozen or so apprentice knights to your service."

Erwin was also somewhat displeased with Linmon's impolite demands.

"Ten thousand gold coins..."

Lin Meng glanced at Erwin and his group: "It seems you think you're giving us face by apologizing and compensating us even though you have an absolute advantage?"

Erwin did not speak.

Their side had two great knights and several knights.

Although Lin Meng is also a Grand Knight, his age is deceptive. In addition, they have also tested Kidd's strength and found him to be just a newly promoted local Grand Knight. If someone with such power dares to fight them to the death...

"very good."

Lin Meng instantly sprang to his feet, charging towards Erwin and the others: "Since you're unwilling to compensate... then apologize with your lives!"

"How dare you! You really think we're afraid of your 'Light of the Sky'?"

Seeing Lin Meng rushing towards him, a cold glint flashed in Erwin's eyes.

They guard the temple without fixed territory, so the Light of the Sky has no way to attack them. Their previous concessions were simply because they didn't want to offend a big company like Blue Flame.

If they really wanted to kill Lin Meng and the others, as long as they left the territory of the Light of the Sky, what could the Blue Flame people do to them?

The game of strategy at the wizard level is not something that a few knights or grand knights can influence.

"clang!"

A loud clang of metal clashing together rang out!

Just moments before, Richel had been so arrogant, but after a single exchange, he was forced back three steps. With a lightning-fast kick from Lin Meng, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ritchie!"

Erwin's expression changed.

Richard was about to be promoted to a mid-level Grand Knight, yet he was defeated by Lin Meng in a single move!?

"call out!"

His sword flashed, swiftly intercepting Lin Meng's pursuing figure.

"Don't fight him head-on. This person is at least a high-level, or even a peak, Grand Knight."

"Ritchie shouted hurriedly."

"Peak Grand Knight!"

Erwin's face turned pale, and a look of disbelief crossed his eyes.

Lin Meng looks to be under twenty, how could he possibly have cultivated to the peak of a Grand Knight?!

Could it be that this body was only ten years old when he descended into it?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lin Meng unleashed three consecutive sword strikes, directly repelling Erwin.

Relying on the recovery buff in his territory, he unleashed powerful sword techniques continuously, confronting his opponent head-on in a fair and square manner. After several strikes, although his sword techniques were blocked one by one, they were enough to injure his opponent.

"Everyone, evacuate. Do not stay."

Richer roared and went to help Irwin.

He felt a vague sense of regret.

Lin Meng's strength exceeded their expectations. If they had known he was a peak Grand Knight, they would have simply handed him the Scaled Beast's heart back then. Now...

It won't be that easy to resolve.

"It's too late to leave now!"

Kidd drew his sword swiftly.

He had been overwhelmed by Richie and his group because of their superior numbers, and he was seething with anger. Now that Lin Meng was fighting two great knights alone, he was free to attack Nicole and the other knights.

"Two of you come with me to block him, let the others go first."

Nicole shouted.

Two knights rushed out and joined her in intercepting Kidd.

"Hehe, weren't you guys just stopping me from leaving? Why are you running away now?"

Zuoqiu and another knight also stopped their respective opponents.

"Damn it! Don't get too entangled with this."

Richer shouted.

"Still dare to get distracted? Die!"

Lin Meng's sword flashed, deflecting Erwin's sword, while simultaneously striking Richer's scimitar with a swift motion.

"clang!"

With his hand severely injured, Richel could no longer hold onto the scimitar, and Lin Meng used a shockwave to knock it from his hand.

Richel retreated in horror, but Lin Meng, who was prepared, would not let him escape so easily.

His Agility Attribute 5 made his swordsmanship extremely fast; the longsword whistled as it fiercely thrust out along his retreating figure.

Swift as lightning!

"No!"

Richer roared, and the sharp sword light magnified in his pupils.

In the moment of life and death, he unleashed the Great Knight's life force to its fullest extent, and at the same time clasped his hands together, grasping the sharp sword that had pierced his body in the nick of time.

"Bang!"

"It's blocked!"

A look of wild joy flashed across Richie's face.

But before this ecstasy could fully bloom on his face, Lin Meng's sword trembled, and the longsword he had been holding with his clasped hands suddenly broke free, slashing fiercely...

"laugh!"

Blood splattered.

"what!"

Richel let out a piercing scream as his hand was severed.

The scream lasted less than half a second before Lin Meng's longsword pierced through his throat between his hands.

A spurt of blood gushed from the tip of the sword behind his neck and spilled onto the ground.

The sound stopped abruptly.
