Chapter 646 Public Security Issues
"Speaking of the Kaiyuan Kingdom, it is really chaotic."
At this time, the bearded man spoke again, sighing, "The first Kaiyuan King O'Quinn was such a powerful existence that he alone oppressed the surrounding kingdoms and even had to form an alliance to fight against them."
"Unfortunately, since the first king disappeared mysteriously, the Kaiyuan Kingdom has fallen from grace. Not only has it been suppressed by the surrounding kingdoms, but even the kingdom has been in chaos."
"The new king Dylan is not even ten years old."
"I really don't know how he will deal with Prime Minister Edgar in the future..."
After hearing the bearded man's words, Enzo's heart moved, and he suddenly raised his head. At the beginning, he said, "The first king is missing?"
"Yeah, you don't know?"
The bearded man showed a trace of surprise on his face, and said, "Hasn't this matter been known to everyone for a long time? O'Quinn, the first king of Kaiyuan, broke through the realm of the Sky Knight 30 years after establishing the kingdom. He planned to cross the continent, but ended up disappearing strangely."
"Until now, his disappearance is still an unsolved mystery."
"Some people speculate that several major kingdoms joined forces to assassinate him, but some people say that the first king was tired of worldly power and went to the end of the world. Some people even said that after he broke through the realm of the Sky Knight, he was inspired by the gods to go to the kingdom of God..."
The bearded man narrated carelessly.
Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of thought appeared on his face. He originally thought that O'Quinn had died of exhaustion, but now it seems that this is not the case.
In an abandoned place with scarce resources, O'Quinn actually broke through the realm of the Sky Knight.
After entering the extraordinary realm, he has become a first-order life form. Perhaps he is indeed qualified to sweep across the entire abandoned land and build a huge empire. However, when he was about to start to show his strength, he suddenly disappeared.
In the abandoned land, the history of the first king of Kaiyuan came to an abrupt end.
No one knows where O'Quinn went, and no one knows the mystery of O'Quinn's disappearance. It is only known that after O'Quinn's disappearance, Kaiyuan, which had been growing stronger, began to decline.
Seventy years ago, the Kaiyuan Kingdom was at its peak.
In the area around the Cold Plain, no kingdom was qualified to compete with Kaiyuan. Under the oppression of the extraordinary knight O'Quinn, several kingdoms even had to join forces to fight against Kaiyuan's attack.
If O'Quinn had not suddenly disappeared, perhaps he would have had a chance to unify the continent.
"Hey! This man, is this your first time to the Ice Plains?" As Enzo was thinking, the bearded man said casually, "It seems that you are also a mercenary, right?"
"Are you going to the Ice Plains to join the Prime Minister or the new king?"
"I haven't decided yet." Enzo shook his head. Before going to the Ice Plains, he didn't know that there was a civil strife in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan. Now that he knows, if the new king Dylan is really the blood of O'Quinn.
Then, as the grandfather of the new king, Enzo will naturally help.
The power of the Wanling Wizard is stronger than that of the gods in the wizard world. If Enzo is willing, destroying the entire abandoned land will only take some effort. As for the extraordinary knights who can sweep across the entire abandoned land, they are just ants.
While several people were talking, there was a sudden noise outside.
"What's going on?"
The bearded man felt a little uneasy, and vigilantly grabbed a scimitar, opened the car door and looked outside.
"It's a gang!" The bearded man's face changed.
The brigade's convoy had stopped and was heading to a forest. A gang of several hundred people was blocking the way. Several bandit leaders who were obviously knights were constantly shouting something.
In the carriage, two women dressed as men also grabbed whips.
Enzo raised his eyebrows and complained helplessly in his heart.
It has been a hundred years since he left the Abandoned Land, and the security here is still so bad. Why can he be intercepted by gangs every time he is in the wild? This kind of luck is really unique.
"Damn, this is trouble."
The bearded man's face was gloomy and nervous. It is normal to encounter gangs in the wilderness of the Abandoned Land, but if the strength of both sides is similar, they usually just pay a toll to pass safely.
However, now, the situation is obviously not the case.
There are hundreds of gangs blocking the road in the forest, and there are seven or eight knights. This force can almost rob the town, and there are only a dozen people in the brigade, even the captain of the brigade's guard is not a knight.
In the carriage, the two bearded men had serious faces.
Enzo noticed that the two women dressed as men were not nervous. Although they looked solemn, there was no fear in their eyes.
"Interesting."
Enzo narrowed his eyes and used his mental power to sense the surroundings. He actually felt a very thin divine power on the two women, which seemed to mean that the two women were believers of gods.
However, this divine power did not come from the goddess of night.
"Haha! Little fat sheep, just surrender!"
In front of the forest, the gang leaders laughed wildly and waved their scimitars, as if ready to attack at any time.
"My dear uncles, please let us go!"
The boss of the brigade pleaded, "We are from the Gina family of the Silver Moon Kingdom. As long as you can let us go, the Gina family will reward us handsomely."
After that, the boss of the brigade quickly called his men to bring two boxes of gold.
However, the gangs did not buy it.
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't care about your Gina family!"
The leader of the gang cursed, looking at the goods of the brigade, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and grinned: "This is not your Silver Moon Kingdom, don't use those brain-dead nobles to fool me."
After that, the gang rushed forward.
The boss of the brigade changed his face and got under the carriage in fear. Seeing this, the captain of the brigade guards hurriedly called his men to resist, and the two bearded men looked at each other and drew their swords and roared.
Since the problem can't be solved peacefully, we can only fight.
As adventurers who have been in the wild for many years, the two bearded men know this group of gangs very well. They are not just robbing property. After everything is over, all captives will be sold as slaves.
Perhaps the men's luck can be better. If they are strong enough, they will be absorbed by the gangs. As for the fate of women, it is hard to describe.
The battle is about to start.
On one side was the frightened brigade, and on the other side was the wolf-like bandit gang. The ending seemed to be doomed. Enzo picked up a branch from the ground casually, and a hint of interest in play appeared on his face.
At this time, the two women in the carriage had already rushed out.
They each held a long whip covered with thorns, and when they swung it vigorously, several bandits were torn to pieces, showing extraordinary fighting power.
However, Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly.
The fighting power of these two women was comparable to that of knights, but their skills were very poor. It felt like they were forcibly infused with power by the gods.
At the same time, the performance of the two women also attracted the attention of the bandits.
The leader saw the strength of the two women and immediately gave up the captain of the brigade guard. He called on several bandits to start besieging the two people, and the long whip kept waving, but because there were too many bandits, the two women began to be unable to resist.
"Mother, what should we do now?"
Seeing more and more bandits around, the young girl's face showed a trace of panic, and the speed of waving the long whip in her hand also slowed down.
"Don't be afraid, Nicole!"
The older woman also showed a trace of fear on her face, but she pretended to be calm and said, "All the sufferings in the world are tests given to us by the goddess. As long as we have firm faith, we can definitely overcome the difficulties."
Snap!
The thorn whip kept waving, but the space around them became smaller and smaller. The two women were a little flustered. At this time, the bandit leader suddenly laughed grimly, and then grabbed the whip that was swinging.
"Come here!"
The bandit leader pulled hard, and the woman, as a mother, immediately fell to the ground and was controlled by several bandits.
"Haha! There is an unexpected gain."
The bandit leader showed a trace of surprise on his face, saw the woman's disguise, showed a lewd smile, and said, "This will be fun for a while."
"Mother!"
Beside him, the girl Nicole was anxious, and her flaws were exposed in panic. The long whip in her hand was also taken away by the bandits and kicked to the ground.
Not far away, Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly.
After observing for a period of time, he was sure that the two women were believers of gods. They received the gift of gods on the premise of paying faith, so they had strength beyond ordinary people.
However, that trace of divine power was too weak.
So that the two believers of gods could not even deal with a few bandits, and they were quickly controlled due to their lack of combat experience.
"This is an opportunity."
Enzo's heart moved. In order to get the news of the core of Orain, he had decided to infiltrate the Church of the Goddess of Night. Although the two women were not necessarily believers of the Goddess of Night, they must have some connection with the Church of Night.
Swish!
The branches waved like a cross sword, instantly whipping a bandit away, directly beating the opponent's skin and flesh, and the dark power even invaded the internal organs, spitting out a few streams of blood, obviously he could not survive.
The face of the bandit leader changed.
The next moment, Enzo had jumped off the carriage. He did not show too much strength, but could disguise himself as a great knight. The branches kept waving, and in a moment, he solved all the bandit leaders.
"Big Knight!!"
Someone among the bandits seemed to scream. In the abandoned land, the big knight was already the top combat force, and could become the lord of a city. For the knight, it was even more difficult to climb the mountain.
"Oh my God, it's the big knight!"
Not far away, the two bearded men also showed shocked expressions. They were brave in the battle just now, so they were slightly injured.
Enzo said nothing and continued to wave the branch.
In a short moment, dozens of bandits were killed by the dark force, but Enzo's face was always calm.
"Are you okay?"
After dealing with a group of bandits, Enzo came to the girl Nicole, helped her up and said gently.
At the same time, the gang had also dispersed.
In front of the big knight, the advantage of numbers disappeared, and the smart bandits fled frantically. Only some fools were killed by Enzo with branches.
"Thank you for saving us."
The boss of the group knelt down in front of Enzo, with a look of relief in his eyes, and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise we would be dead."
"It's just a small matter." Enzo shook his head.
Beside him, Nicole also showed a grateful look, and a blush appeared on the girl's face. Because of her special faith, she felt a little throbbing in her heart.
"Thank you for saving my life."
At this time, Nicole's mother, a woman who had taken off her disguise, also came over and said gratefully.
Enzo smiled politely and looked at the two of them.
It has been a long time since the gods came to the Abandoned Land. Now, not only has the Church of the Goddess of Night risen vigorously, but there seem to be other gods. These two women obviously believe in some gods and thus gain power.
However, it is not clear what their beliefs are.
But since they are gods in the Abandoned Land, there must be some connection between them and the Church of the Goddess of Night. Enzo plans to use the two women as a starting point to join the Church of the Goddess of Night and find the traces of the Goddess of Night.
Then, the boss of the brigade began to clean up the scene.
The short-lived turmoil lasted only more than ten minutes. Except for the initial panic, almost no one in the brigade died. As for the gang, there were no less than a hundred bandits who were killed by Enzo with branches.
Everyone looked at them with respect.
Only a great knight can kill the bandits easily with a branch, and Enzo, who looks so young, has already possessed the cultivation of a great knight. This is incredible to the people in the abandoned land.
"The sorrow of a frog in a well."
Enzo sighed in his heart. The abandoned land is short of resources and can hardly receive information from the outside world. Therefore, in their eyes, the knight master is already a high and mighty existence, and the great knight is even rarer.
The sky knight is almost the existence of a country's protection, and the higher-level extraordinary knights live in legends.
The people in the abandoned land don't know that in the wider world, there is a behemoth like the wizard civilization. Even the extraordinary knight is just a slave and consumable in the eyes of the wizard.
In the expedition to the forest world, I don't know how many extraordinary knights died.
And they are just cannon fodder. In the fortress world, as long as they have undergone systematic training, almost everyone is qualified to become an extraordinary knight, and there is no need for any talent restrictions.
After everything was cleared, the convoy began to continue on the road.
Wild beasts roamed the forest, and the smell of blood might bring more danger, so the group sped up and crossed the forest a few hours later and came to a wide plain.
And here, it was not far from the icy plain.
Because Enzo showed his identity as a great knight, the carriage that originally had five people on it was reduced to three people. The two bearded brothers left consciously, and because they were injured, they followed in the carriage at the end of the team.
