Chapter 40, Flying Wings and Vibrations

The Ika knight rode his horse, and he indeed looked very energetic. Although the flying wings on the horse were artificial fakes, the wide flying wings were painted with colorful feathers, which still looked very good-looking.

"If he wore this and walked around the streets of Organ Castle, he would be thought to be an actor from the theater running out in costume. Haha."

Baron Kendall teased, and then calmed down to watch the waiting Ika Knight's 'performance'.

Since the priest knew that the other party was not relying on his true ability to compete, he became less nervous.

Although the Baron had traveled to many places in the Northwest Province, this was the first time he had left the province and came to a different place. He was also worried that his strength was not enough to cope with various situations.

But now seeing the other party's arrogant look, he felt relieved.

The third match will make the other party give up.

Unless the other party is dying.

-

Amid the cheers of the surrounding crowd, Knight Ika happily came to stop his horse a little distance from the river bank. After all, he needed some distance for the horse to run, and he also had to have time to release the power of the wind. The great power of God.

"I'm ready, everyone, please watch my performance!"

He shouted loudly, causing the crowd around him to shout loudly.

At this moment, more people placed their coins on the Kendall merchant's gambling plate. This situation made Kendall merchants smack their lips, but the quiet and steady Kendall senior management made them grit their teeth and feel relieved.

They thought very well, but it didn't work out. There was Kendall's army nearby, and the baron probably wouldn't hand it over anyway. If it made a big fuss, the worst-case scenario would be for the merchants who followed him to cross the bridge and return to the Northwest Province.

After all, everyone has made a lot of money traveling through the Northwest Province these days.

-

Beside the open river bank, the early spring wind became stronger again.

However, this time it was different from the usual east-west wind, instead it was blowing from south to north.

The wind gradually increased abnormally, and this strange scene made the onlookers scream loudly. Everyone looked at the young knight on the flying-winged war horse with burning eyes.

As for Knight Ika, he grabbed the reins with one hand and pulled back, telling the horse not to move forward for the time being, because the surrounding wind was not enough. The other hand held a metal war hammer that logically should not be carried on his body.

At this time, the translucent power on the war hammer was being released from the hammer head to the surroundings. This strong wind blowing from south to north was caused by the Ika knight who controlled the war hammer.

However, the power of this weapon is limited and cannot be compared with some well-known weapons in legends. Therefore, at this time, the Ika Knight himself needs to whisper a prayer to the God of Wind.

"Wind, strong wind, blow."

"Hunting noise, hunting noise, rolling up."

"Your divine power, your power, please follow my wish."

"Let the trees bend down, let the flowers and grass fall, and let people open their arms and fly in the wind."

He repeated it several times until he felt something, and then he shouted: "Pay attention to me!"

Then he flicked the reins and slammed his feet into the belly of the war horse. The war horse, which had been unable to hold back for a long time, immediately neighed, swung its hooves rapidly, accelerated and accelerated, and rushed towards the river bank in front.

If it was the first time, it would slow down and stop near the river bank, but it has already played like this with its owner many times in a deserted place, so this brave guy knows what to do at this time. .

Speed ​​up, speed up, don't stop.

Not only that, a sudden strong wind blew close to the ground and blew through the crowds on both sides. The men stretched out their arms to hug their companions and barely stood firm, while the women leaned on the men and used their strength. His hands held down the flying skirt, but everyone's eyes were panicked but not panicked at this time, and they were all staring closely at the young knight galloping on the horse.

As the knight got closer to the river bank, the strong wind blowing from the south became faster and faster, catching up with the knight, then pushing him and his horse, and gradually lifting them up.

The four hooves of the war horse were trampling the grass and flowers on the ground all the way, but as the wind gradually increased, the four staggered hooves gradually could no longer touch the flowers and weeds on the ground.

He and it were blown up by the wind! ! !

-

Keir was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect to see 'artificial flight' in this inconspicuous place, on an ordinary day.

Especially the wooden wings that look unreasonable were added to the war horse. They were not a carefully calculated streamlined structure, but simply imitated the structure of bird wings, and were enlarged and pressed into weird flying wings.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing that would have been ridiculed in comedy competitions in previous lives actually took off.

Is there any mistake?

Oh, it's the magical world, that's okay.

Kil quickly realized that it was not that the other party really relied on the pair of flying wings attached to the horse's back to fly or glide. The thing that really made the two of them fly was actually the young knight and the metal war hammer that the other party had been holding in his hand.

The people exclaimed and screamed loudly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. At the same time, his face was flushed with excitement, and he shouted the name of Knight Ika loudly, even if the wind was blowing around him, he couldn't hear anything clearly.

The knight of Ika cheered, laughed and waved the war hammer in his hand, letting the strong wind driven by him blow diagonally towards him and his horse from behind.

The war horse neighed loudly, full of excitement. It also liked the feeling of flying.

In this way, after flying off the ground on the grass near the river bank, they quickly flew over the steep river bank and entered the sky above the Angry River.

But obviously the river of anger, the river of anger, how could He possibly tolerate someone flying over His head on horseback?

Immediately, a cool wind filled with water mist blew up against the river surface, mixing with the strong wind controlled by the Ika Knight, confusing it, and weakening the other party's control.

In an instant, the war horse could not maintain its balance and swayed left and right in the air.

Seeing this scene, not only the angry people on the Nanguan side were worried and scared, but also the curious people, merchants and soldiers on the Beiguan side also exclaimed.

No one wants to see such a young knight who can fly on the wind have an accident.

Everyone shouted loudly, hoping that shouting the name of Knight Ika would give each other strength.

Maybe that's the case, maybe the Ika Knight had already expected this to happen. Soon, the young knight swung his war hammer, and the river wind that disturbed him was suppressed by the stronger wind he controlled.

He roared loudly on the empty river, demonstrating human wisdom and power.

Once again, he flew across the River of Anger!

And it was the first time that he did this in front of not only tens of thousands of people, but at least thousands of people.

He thought with excitement that perhaps this feat would be taken away by businessmen traveling from north to south and mentioned repeatedly in taverns everywhere. In the story, the young and brave knight of the Ika family defeated the honorless middle-aged knight from the northwest border region in a competition.

Thinking about this situation, he quickly jumped to the north bank of the river.

No way, compared to flying, the Angry River is still too narrow.

It seems that there is a lot written on it, but in fact it only takes a few deep breaths. It only takes less than 20 seconds for the Ika Knight to fly up, shake in the air, and then land.

-

The horse's hooves swinging in the air soon came into contact with the green grass on the north bank of the Angry River.

The war horse, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly swung its four legs to make the running speed match their current speed. Then gradually slow down.

"Oh oh oh!"

As soon as the Ika Knight slowed down and landed, the onlookers gathered around him excitedly.

Although the people still maintained their respect for the powerful knight, they were so excited that they unconsciously gathered around the Ika knight and touched the wooden wings on both sides of the horse with their own hands.

People were so excited that they even rubbed the paint off the wooden wings.

The knight of Ika had to swing his war hammer and control a strong wind blowing from above to drive the crowd away.

"Calm down, everyone! The competition rules, I have to go back!"

Amidst the continuous scolding, the people had to stay away from the knights, but some bold businessmen who took the opportunity to pick off some of the knight's horse hair immediately began to sell the horse hair in their hands to the people around them in a low voice, but they did not know whether it was genuine or fake.

Hearing the sounds around him, Knight Ika couldn't help but smile bitterly. He then came to a distance, once again summoned the strong wind through his war hammer, and once again prayed to the God of Wind.

This time, he found that his prayers were answered much faster, and the God of Wind brought more winds under his control.

He was so overjoyed that he forgot about the hair of his horse and the copper coin lying around. He cheered loudly and shouted the name of the God of Wind to the people around him.

Then he accelerated the horse and started running on the grass again.

The young and brave war horse started running excitedly. It also liked the feeling of flying, even if it could not fly itself. But it’s okay, as long as the master knows how to do it.

A strong wind blew up from behind, carrying a man and a horse and flew up on the flying wings.

It seemed that he knew that nothing could be done to this bold human being, so this time it was smooth sailing across the Angry River, and the Ika Knight successfully landed on the land under his rule.

The people around him gathered around like crazy, but this time with experience, Knight Ika called on Potoris to immediately ask the soldiers to isolate the surrounding people.

While accepting the cheers from the people around him, the young knight proudly raised his head and looked at the Kendall man who was waiting to make a fool of himself.

-

Knight Crow looked at the young knight who flew over and then returned successfully with a smile on his face, as if he saw a part of his life in him.

However, he would not explain to this young and proud knight that unlike the local nobles, the knights of the kingdom and empire already had flying knights and combat methods based on this organization.

Not to mention just flying across this river, he followed the knight captain of the then Guards Knights more than ten years ago. Together with six people, they flew long distances through the air via griffins, and then parachuted into the rebel noble castle to capture the rebels. The local nobles who rebelled against the King of Rebellion.

Not only that, during his several years of service in the Imperial Border Knights, he also mastered how to jump off a gryphon flying at extremely high altitudes, relying on the gliding knight armor that resembled a bird and a bat, to fly silently in the night. Raid alien leaders who are hostile to humans outside the human border.

It was a thrilling and unspeakable experience that I could only silently recall and savor by myself.

Seeing such a young knight at this time, he only thought that the other party was really interesting.

Young people's enterprising spirit is vigorous and public, which is endearing.

It would be better if the other party's pride was not unleashed on him.

After saying a few words to the people around him, and after Knight Ika calmed down, Knight Crow came out on his war horse.

Knight Ika looked at the still thick steel knight armor on Knight Crow, and the heavy armored horse on his crotch. He frowned tightly: "Are you going to admit defeat? It's not impossible, but the merchants' customs duties must not be reduced at all!"

But Knight Crow just shook his head: "I'm not as light as you, but of course I have my own way of jumping across the river!"

"How is that possible? Don't say that your war horse can leap more than sixty meters! Unless it has a strong bloodline."

Knight Crow shook his head: "No need, the bloodline of the giant bull is really suitable for our knights' horses, and there is no need to replace it with other bloodlines. Young man, watch carefully. What is the real strength!"

After saying that, Knight Crow stopped talking, and the Baron also sent people to clear the area where the river was leaping, and blocked the people on both sides so as not to block the way for the horses to sprint.

Seeing how confident Kendall Knight Crow was, the people did not leave, and there were even more people. Everyone was waiting to see how this middle-aged knight could defeat the Ika Knight who had just flown across the Angry River.

The performance of Ika Knight has greatly raised their appreciation threshold. If they failed to cross the river, even if they succeeded in crossing the river, but the performance was not wonderful, they would probably think that Ika Knight would win.

If the Ika knights who are angry at Nanguan win two games in a row, then there will be no need for the third test. The Kendall people from the north can just pay their dues and pass the test.

No one will underestimate the Kendall people. After all, these people still bring wonderful stories that are rare to tell in boring days.

-

After the venue was cleared, Knight Crow waited for a place to be vacated on the other side of Beiguan on the other side of the river.

At this time, Knight Crow raised his right hand high.

This move immediately attracted everyone's attention. Knight Ika blinked, not knowing what this dishonorable guy was doing.

Knight Rumi swallowed. His strength was second only to Knight Crow. Before Knight Ika could feel the reaction, he already knew what Knight Crow was going to do through his body's induction.

"No way, he's only so young. But that's not right. He doesn't say what Crow's strength is, and no one knows. There's no way he can reach this level."

Knight Rumi became excited and quietly informed Baron Kendall of his speculation.

After hearing this, the baron also looked happy. Not only was he more confident about the war on the southern border of the kingdom, he was also more confident about the war that would inevitably break out in Kendall County in the future.

"In this way, within a few years, we must make that guy look good!" the baron murmured to himself in a low voice.

On Knight Crow's side, he raised his right fist high into the sky and kept it like this for a while, but strangely, no one among the people around him dared to speak and discuss at this time.

When the Ika Knight was preparing just now, they talked a lot and speculated non-stop.

But at this time, everyone around them didn't know why. They wanted to say something in their hearts, but they couldn't open their mouths.

It seems like something bad will happen if you speak.

At the same time, Knight Ika also felt that something was wrong. His brave horse gradually became restless, and he also felt that a force continued to gather around him. Different from the violent wind controlled by him, it is a more secretive and powerful thing.

He looked around, but the surroundings were peaceful, even too peaceful.

Everyone stared at Knight Crow, but no one spoke, or even encouraged him.

Moreover, the insects in the grass are particularly quiet, without the chirping and restlessness of early spring. There were no birds flying in the sky, and those lawless little things didn't know why they didn't come over at this time.

Just when he was confused, he suddenly stared at the ground.

Then he felt it.

The ground is gradually shaking!

The vibration gradually expanded and then quickly emerged.

Because everyone present felt that the ground beneath their feet was gradually shaking. For a moment, the people could no longer control it. They all shouted in panic: "Mother Earth is angry! Mother Earth is angry!"

"Please calm down! Please calm down!"

The people panicked. At least they knew that there was no danger of earthquakes in the open space at this time, and they didn't need to run somewhere to take shelter.

But the Ika Knight saw Angry South Pass not far away. It was calm there, and even the flags on the pass did not wave. Obviously, the vibration was very strange.

The only answer is naturally the Crow Knight who is preparing to fly across the river.

Could it be him?

-

Of course it's him.

Although it was the first time for Knight Crow to use his new power at full strength, for a skilled knight like him, although it was a new ability, he was still able to control it securely.

He directly retracted his raised right fist, and then yelled: "Look at me!"

Then he galloped forward with his hands empty.

Everyone's attention was attracted by his roar, especially many people who noticed that as soon as Knight Crow moved, the vibration under everyone's feet immediately weakened and disappeared quickly.

At this moment, everyone still doesn’t understand that this earthquake-like phenomenon is just like the strong wind summoned by Knight Ika just now. It is the power summoned by this taciturn middle-aged knight.

Is it really so?

Knight Ika knew that it was not a summoning power. When Knight Crow was ready and began to run toward the river bank, he clearly sensed the power that originated from Knight Crow himself and caused the ground to shake.

"How can it be!"

He couldn't believe it and screamed loudly.

Then everyone saw Knight Crow driving his war horse and leaping hard on the steep river bank, jumping high towards the other side of the river.

"Impossible! He can't get through!"

Knight Ika didn't believe that the opponent's take-off strength and angle could leap across a river dozens of meters wide in one breath. After all, tens of meters was nothing to him flying over, but he couldn't jump even half of this distance without any weapons. Not to mention someone who jumped across the Angry River wearing two to three hundred kilograms of steel armor, hundreds of kilograms of war horse armor, and a war horse weighing at least half a ton.

But what those on the river bank couldn't see was that magical changes were also taking place in the Angry River at this time.
