Chapter 714 Ambush

Chapter 714 Ambush

"This...was killed by you?"

Blake looked at Enzo with a hint of disbelief on his face. A beast of this size was not easy to deal with.

Enzo smiled and nodded.

"My lord, thank you for your recent teachings."

At this time, Grant next to him said, "Enzo, this kid has become a knight. He just split this black bear in half with one knife."

"One knife?" Blake's pupils shrank.

As a veteran knight, he only took one look and knew what kind of fighting power the black bear in front of him possessed. Even if the knight faced it, he would feel pressure. If he could cut it in half with one sword, he might not be able to succeed.

"Have you been promoted to the realm of knights?" Blake raised his head, looked at Enzo, and said with complicated eyes.

Enzo nodded and raised his palm casually.

White fighting energy condensed in the palm of his hand, representing the realm of knights, and the surrounding soldiers showed surprised expressions.

"A fifteen-year-old knight?" Next to him, Knight Sam took a deep breath.

As one of Blake's confidant knights, he knew the meaning of knights very well. Seeing that Enzo, who was only fifteen years old, could be promoted to the realm of knights, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Such talent is probably one of the best in the entire Tucker Kingdom.

Especially when the other party is just a civilian.

In the history of Tucker Kingdom, although there have been fifteen-year-old knights, in addition to their own talents, those existences are more importantly family training, which consumes a lot of resources to advance to the realm of knights.

Blake looked thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then, he shook his head and ordered everyone to light a fire and roast the prey brought back by the soldiers.

Half an hour later, everyone was sitting around the fire.

The skinned black bear had been cut into pieces. Because he was about to return to the royal capital, Black's face was a little absent-minded, so he had a loss of appetite. He only ate a small piece of barbecue and stopped eating.

Next to him, Enzo kept putting roasted meat into his mouth.

Grant and Aylin were stunned. Enzo ate slowly but never stopped chewing. In just half an hour, he had already eaten enough for five or six people.

"You...have such a good appetite lately?" Grant asked.

Enzo smiled silently and continued to put the barbecue into his mouth. The characteristic of the giant whale's breathing method is to convert the eaten food into energy, so Enzo can eat almost all the time, even if he eats all the food, there is no problem.

At this time, Blake also noticed something unusual about Enzo.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and recalling the knightly realm Enzo had just shown, his eyes flickered slightly.

After mortals are promoted to knights, they will show some abnormalities.

Some of them consumed too much physical energy during the promotion process and would eat like crazy. However, Enzo's performance in front of him was too special. He had already eaten food for seven or eight people in just a few dozen minutes.

Fortunately, the soldiers brought back a lot of prey today.

Enzo ignored the strange looks from the people around him and silently ate the barbecue until he had eaten all the prey, then wiped his mouth calmly.

Grant looked dumbfounded.

Several veterans couldn't understand how Enzo's appetite could be so terrifying. He had just eaten hundreds of kilograms of food, even more than his own weight. The food that entered his stomach seemed to disappear out of thin air.

"Okay, everyone, let's go to bed early."

At this time, Blake suddenly spoke and said, "We have to travel tomorrow, so try to regain your strength."

After hearing Blake's order, everyone dispersed.

Enzo also returned to his tent. All the food he had eaten had been converted into energy. He took a deep breath and was directly promoted to the realm of the Great Knight, and the fighting spirit in his body also sublimated.

"In five more days, you should be able to advance to the first level of life form, right?"

A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face. It had been a while since he arrived in the scarlet world. Except for the initial days of recovering his body, Enzo had been spending time in training, and the speed of his strength improvement was terrifying.

Relying on the giant whale breathing method, he has become a great knight.

The legendary knight is only one step away from becoming a first-order life form. In the Tucker Kingdom, the legendary knight is already regarded as the guardian of the country and the top combat power of the four major duke families.

At the same time, the practice of meditation is also in progress.

With the knowledge in his mind, Enzo also mastered many kinds of zero-ring witchcraft while practicing Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits. In this body's perception, there seemed to be no spell caster in the scarlet world.

"Red Moon..."

On the spot, Enzo murmured to himself, then walked out of the tent, looking at the bright moon in the sky, with a trace of thought on his face.

When he first came to the scarlet world, Enzo saw a red moon.

As a fourth-level all-spirits wizard, he could clearly feel that the strange energy contained in the red moon in the sky seemed to be related to the origin of the world, and was probably related to the original twelve all-spirit wizards who were lost in the scarlet world.

But at this moment, the moon in the sky showed a soft silver light.

"Forget it, let's let the world stand on its own feet now."

Enzo shook his head, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. The scene of the red moon in the sky was probably related to the origin of the world. He could not learn more information before reaching a certain height.

Therefore, Enzo's most important thing now is to improve his strength.

If the top combat power of the Tucker Kingdom is the Glory Knight, it means that Enzo must become at least a second-level life form in order to do whatever he wants in this kingdom without using his original power.

…

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Black led the remaining 100 soldiers of the Seventh Army towards the capital of the Tucker Kingdom. According to King Andel's decree, they only had seven days. If they exceeded this period, they would be punished with treason.

At this time, Blake was unwilling to bear the responsibility.

On the vast plains, the sun hung high in the sky, emitting light and heat, making the ground restless.

Blake and others moved forward.

The outline of a forest appeared in the distance. At the end of the team, Enzo suddenly felt something in his heart and noticed an unusual smell.

"ambush?"

Enzo raised his head and looked forward. In the great forest, there seemed to be an enemy hiding in ambush. It looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

There were about two hundred people in this group, led by three great knights.

They were well hidden, even Blake was unaware of it, but for Enzo, who had the chip, it seemed too clumsy.

Enzo's eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word to remind him.

"It seems like there are people in the kingdom who don't want Blake to go back." Enzo's mind flashed with thoughts, and a trace of thought appeared on his face.

In the Tucker Kingdom, the great knight is already super powerful.

Apart from the kingdom's ruling class, who else could mobilize three great knights at the same time? The force behind them was at least a duke family.

"It's really bloody..." Enzo complained helplessly in his heart.

At this time, the team was already walking towards the forest. As a high knight, Black, although he seemed a little uneasy because of being recalled by the king, he still felt something in his heart the moment he approached the forest.

The next moment, arrows struck quickly.

Behind the team, Enzo's eyes flashed, and his mental power turned into invisible telekinesis, deflecting all the incoming arrows. Brian, who was about to release his fighting spirit to resist, was stunned, but still shouted loudly.

"There is an ambush, everyone, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the enemies in the forest had already surrounded everyone, and as many as two hundred elite soldiers wearing iron armor appeared here.

"People from the Western Region?"

Black's pupils shrank for a moment, and he recognized the clothing of these soldiers. They belonged to the Clark family in the West, one of the four major duke families in the kingdom.

"Long time no see, Senior Black!"

At this time, three knights came out of the depths of the forest. The leader of them looked to be about the same age as Blake, but he had a scar on his face, adding a bit of murderous intent, and a hint of indifference in his eyes.

"Keville!" Blake's eyes narrowed slightly.

The figure that appeared in front of him was Keville, who was known as the Cyborg Knight in the West. He was a confidant of the Duke of the West. He had studied in the same knight academy with Black for a long time, so the other party called him senior.

The two people next to Kevir are also the great knights of the Western Region.

"What do you mean, Kovir?"

Blake's face turned cold and he put his palms on his waist. The soldiers of the Western Region were ambushing the only way back to the capital. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.

However, Blake didn't understand.

Why does the West Region take action against itself? Although among the forces of the Tucker Kingdom, the third prince supported by Black and the fourth prince supported by the West Region are in a hostile relationship competing for the throne, but this alone does not seem to be enough to achieve such hatred. degree.

"Sorry, Senior Black."

Keville shook his head and said coldly: "The Duke of the West does not want you to return to the royal capital alive. I am also acting under orders. I hope you will not blame me."

After saying that, Keville waved his hand.

The surrounding Western soldiers rushed forward without any hesitation. Nervous expressions suddenly appeared on the faces of Grant and other veterans.

"Meet the enemy!" Blake shouted.

Although it is unclear why the Western soldiers attacked, since the opponent has appeared here, it is obvious that today cannot be properly resolved. Fighting has become the only option, and Blake will not show mercy because of the opponent's identity.

"Protect Lord Black!"

Knight Sam pulled out his cross sword and contracted with the surrounding soldiers. The well-trained soldiers of the Seventh Army quickly formed a protective circle.

"Come on, Senior Black."

At this time, a trace of fighting spirit flashed in Keville's eyes, and he said loudly: "It has always been my regret that we couldn't compete in the academy. Now let's have a good fight."

With that, Coville charged.

Blake looked slightly cold, and raised his cross sword, fighting fiercely with the opponent, and the two immediately began to fight.

Among the crowd, Enzo looked calm.

His mental power has spread, locking onto all enemies, and he can kill this group of Western soldiers with just a thought. The reason why he didn't do this was just to see what they were planning to do.

Black and Cowell battled together.

The two knights who came with Kevir did not help, but calmly watched. In order to surround Black this time, the Western Region sent a total of two hundred elite soldiers and three knights.

With this absolute advantage, Black had no chance of comeback.

What's more, according to the intelligence obtained from the West, Black was injured while fighting the orcs on the front line. At this moment, he was unable to exert the fighting power of the Great Knight. Coville alone was enough to deal with him.

In fact it is so!

The injuries he sustained while fighting the orcs on the front line had been suppressed by Black. Now his opponent was also a knight, and he had to go all out to deal with it. Therefore, within a few moments of the confrontation, Black's injuries exploded.

"Ahem!"

On horseback, Black coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and reluctantly raised his cross sword to block Covel's spear.

"Lord Black!"

Seeing Black being injured, Grant and other veterans exclaimed. Their loyalty to Black almost made them forget their own strength.

Several veterans immediately rushed to help.

However, before they could take a few steps, a figure stopped them, with an extremely cold expression on their face.

"Knight Carl?" Grant was slightly startled.

The knight blocking several people on the opposite side was also one of Black's three confidants, but at this moment, the other side had a cold face and drew his long sword towards his own people.

"Traitor?"

A trace of thoughtfulness appeared on Enzo's face. No wonder the Western Region knew the whereabouts of Blake and others. It turned out that a chess piece was planted in the team.

It was Knight Carl who delivered the news to the West.

"Lord Black must die here today."

Karl had no expression on his face and shook his head and said, "The siege of the three great knights is meaningless even if you help, so don't waste your energy. After everything is over, I can ask Lord Kevil not to kill you."

"Traitor!" Grant was furious and rushed forward.

There was a trace of murderous intent in Karl's eyes. He had no feelings for several veterans. Even Blake, who had been loyal to him for many years, could betray him and kill Grant and others with almost no psychological burden. The reason why he offered words to persuade him was because he had only half a month to go. For the sake of getting along with each other.

"Since you are looking for death, then I will grant your wish!"

Karl said coldly, and stabbed out the cross sword in his hand. The blade wrapped with fighting spirit could end Grant's life in almost an instant.

However, at this moment.

Enzo casually popped up a stone and hit Karl's sword blade, directly breaking the opponent's cross sword and causing Karl to stumble.

"You!" Carl was shocked.

The next moment, Enzo disappeared from the spot. Before anyone could react, he had already arrived in front of Karl. He waved the cross sword casually and drew a blood mark on his throat.

"Uh..." Knight Carl covered his throat with disbelief on his face, but in the end he slowly fell to the ground.
