Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 92 Knight's Justice

It was not uncommon for soldiers to impersonate bandits and rob caravans.

Ordinary adventurers, unless they are as strong as a Grand Knight, have absolutely no ability to resist when facing a standardized army.

A few volleys of fire would turn these adventurers into pincushions; the army's combat capabilities were far superior to those of these idle adventurers.

More importantly, there are also powerful individuals in the army, and Grand Knights are not uncommon.

Since this army dares to come to Dragonspine Highlands to plunder, they must have a Grand Knight in command.

"No one is allowed to make a move without my order." The speaker was Luo Kui, the owner of this caravan and the most authoritative person. All the guards were hired by him.

Luo Kui knew very well that negotiation was the only way out when facing the military.

If they dared to resist, they would surely die.

The Dragon Ridge Highlands are a remote place, far from any villages or shops. If three or four hundred people were to die, no one would know, and it would be very difficult to find out who did it.

Even if they find out, so what? No one will fight with the Violet Kingdom's army for their sake.

A few minutes later, the caravan members finally saw what the army looked like.

They then realized that they had been surrounded. Due to the white fog, they did not know the exact number of the army, but it was definitely more than them.

The soldiers opposite them were all on horseback, and about 60% of them were fully armored. They all stared coldly at the caravan.

"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Roque Dormer. I am acquainted with General Terraton, and I have been paying military aid on time every year. Could you please let us off the hook?" Roque stepped forward and said with a fawning smile.

A man rode out from the opposing army on a tall horse. Because he was fully armored and wearing a helmet, his appearance was not clear. He said, "General Traton? Sorry, we don't know him. We are just a bunch of bandits."

The armor worn by this group of people was unmarked, and it looked like it had just been made and had not yet been marked with the distinctive insignia of the Violet Kingdom.

Luo Kui continued, "My lord, this batch of goods needs to be transported to the Kingdom of Doris to be sold and converted into cash. How about this: when I return from the Kingdom of Doris, I will personally present you with 100,000 gold coins?"

The man opposite scoffed, "Do you think I'm stupid? Enough with the nonsense, hand over anything valuable you have, we want the goods too!"

"Sir, could you leave us some? It wasn't easy for us to make this trip, and we have a whole family to feed..." Luo Kui pleaded.

"I don't care if you're dead or alive! Hand over your valuables now! Right now! Otherwise, we'll come and take them ourselves!" The man drew his longsword, and the other soldiers also pointed their weapons at the caravan.

Luo Kui, his face ashen, waved to the people behind him and said, "Give them the goods, sigh!"

The caravan workers behind him hesitated for a moment, but when they looked at the army poised to attack, they felt a chill run down their spines and immediately turned around to move the goods.

"etc!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and everyone looked to see that it was Kalim who was speaking.

He stepped forward with a grim expression, looking at the leader opposite him and saying, "You're Ivis, right? The Knight Commander under Duke Theodore. Aren't you afraid the Duke will find out what you're doing here?"

Ives was silent for a moment, then said, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

Kalim laughed, "Mistaken identity? Just a few months ago, you came to talk to me at the banquet. What, have you forgotten so quickly? I'm standing right here today, and if you dare touch our caravan, I guarantee you'll be hanged by Duke Theodore!"

Silence fell over the scene. The caravan members hadn't expected Kalim to be so powerful, daring to directly threaten the opposing army.

Ives actually remained silent, as if he was genuinely wary of Kalim.

Hearing this, Herag sighed, "Idiot!"

Luo Kui glanced at Kalim, his face clearly showing some panic.

After a long silence, Ivis raised his longsword: "Everyone, listen to my command! Kill them all!"

"You!" Kalim looked incredulous. He hadn't expected Ives to dare to defy him, not only to kill him but also to kill everyone else to silence them.

Kalim was furious: "You'll pay for this!"

Ives sneered, "You're the one who will pay the price for your stupidity. Remember, I didn't kill these people; you did."

His soldiers began to charge the caravan's defensive lines, and the guards, of course, would not sit idly by and immediately launched a defensive counterattack.

They still possess considerable strength, and Ives's forces cannot defeat them in a short period of time.

Kalim stood at the forefront of the battle line, wielding a greatsword. With sweeping, powerful strokes, he sent heads flying high into the air.

He quickly cleared the area in front of him, where the bodies of seven or eight soldiers lay on the ground.

Even with their full suits of armor, these soldiers were no match for his greatsword.

Arrows immediately rained down on him, but Kalim was also fully armored, and the quality of his armor was exceptional; the arrows did not cause him any harm at all.

Kalim braved the volley of arrows and wielded his greatsword to cut down soldier after soldier.

Before long, no one dared to approach the place that Kalim was guarding.

Ives glanced over, slowly rode over, then dismounted and stepped out from the crowd: "I'll take care of him."

Kalim stared at him, his muscles tense.

He was only close to becoming a Grand Knight, but not a true Grand Knight yet, and his strength was still far inferior to Ivis's.

But he showed no fear, his eyes were firm, and his hands gripped the greatsword firmly, ready to attack at any moment.

Ivis, longsword in hand, slowly walked up to Kalim: "If I were as rich as you, I'd be staying home and lying in bed. Why would I come out here to die?"

"I am a nobleman but also a knight. I will never indulge in a decadent life. Upholding justice is the truth I follow." Kalim said these words firmly, and then swung his greatsword to strike Ivis.

This sword strike was powerful and fast.

Ives held the longsword in one hand and blocked the blow in front of him.

He stood the whole time without swaying at all, showing that he only used a little bit of strength.

Seeing that his sword strike had been blocked, Kalim immediately changed the direction of his sword and launched several attacks in succession.

But Ives caught every one of Kalim's swords with ease, as if it were a game.

Everyone could see that although Kalim was very strong, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and Ivis.

"The Great Knight is far more powerful than you imagine. You must have never witnessed the true power of a Great Knight, otherwise you wouldn't be foolish enough to come and challenge me," Ivis sneered.
