Chapter 714 Ambush
"This... you killed it?"
Blake looked at Enzo, with a hint of disbelief on his face. A beast of this size is not easy to deal with.
Enzo smiled and nodded.
"My lord, thanks to your recent teaching."
At this time, Ge Lan next to him said, "Enzo has become a knight. He just cut the black bear in half with one knife."
"One knife?" Blake's pupils shrank.
As an old knight, he only took a glance and knew what kind of combat power the black bear in front of him had. Even if a knight faced it, he would feel pressure. He could cut it in half with one knife, even if he could not succeed.
"Have you been promoted to the knight realm?" Blake raised his head and looked at Enzo, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Enzo nodded and raised his palm casually.
The white fighting spirit condensed in the palm of his hand, representing the knight realm. The soldiers around him all showed surprised expressions.
"A 15-year-old knight?" Knight Sam next to him took a breath of cold air.
As one of Blake's trusted knights, he knew the meaning of knights too well. Seeing Enzo, who was only fifteen years old, could be promoted to the knight realm, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Such talent was probably one of the best in the entire Tak Kingdom.
Especially the other party was just a civilian.
In the history of the Tak Kingdom, although there were fifteen-year-old knights, those beings were not only gifted, but also cultivated by their families, and consumed a lot of resources to be promoted to the knight realm.
Blake looked thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then, he shook his head and told everyone to light a fire and roast the prey brought back by the soldiers.
Half an hour later, everyone sat around the fire.
The skinned black bear had been cut into pieces. Because he was about to return to the capital, Blake's face was a little absent-minded, so he had no appetite and only ate a small piece of barbecue and stopped eating.
Beside him, Enzo kept putting barbecue into his mouth.
Glenn and Aylin were stunned. Enzo ate slowly, but he never stopped chewing. In just half an hour, he had already eaten the amount of food for five or six people.
"You... have such a good appetite recently?" Glenn said.
Enzo smiled and continued to put the barbecue into his mouth. The characteristic of the giant whale breathing method is to convert the food eaten into energy, so Enzo can almost keep eating, even if he eats all the food.
At this time, Blake also noticed Enzo's abnormality.
A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and his eyes flickered slightly when he recalled the knight realm that Enzo had just shown.
Mortals will show some abnormalities after being promoted to knights.
Some of them will eat frantically because they have consumed too much physical energy during the promotion process, but Enzo's performance in front of him is too special. He has eaten seven or eight people's food 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 ate the barbecue silently until he had eaten all the prey, then wiped his mouth calmly.
Ge Lan was stunned.
Several veterans couldn't understand why Enzo's appetite was so terrible. He had just eaten hundreds of kilograms of food, even exceeding his own weight, and the food that entered his stomach seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Okay, everyone, let's rest early."
At this time, Blake suddenly spoke and said, "We still have to travel tomorrow, try to recover your strength."
After hearing Blake's order, everyone dispersed.
Enzo also returned to his tent. The food he ate had all been converted into energy. He took a deep breath and was directly promoted to the Great Knight realm. The fighting spirit in his body also sublimated.
"In another five days, I should be able to be promoted to a first-level life form, right?"
Enzo's face showed a trace of thought. It has been a while since he came to the Scarlet World. In addition to the initial days of recovery, Enzo has been practicing, and the speed of his strength improvement is terrifying.
Relying on the giant whale breathing method, he has become a great knight.
He is only one step away from becoming a legendary knight of the first-level life form. In the Tucker Kingdom, the legendary knight is already the guardian of a country and the top combat force of the four duke families.
At the same time, the practice of meditation is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Relying on the knowledge in his mind, Enzo practiced the phantom crows and thousands of spirits while mastering many kinds of zero-ring witchcraft. In the cognition of this body, the scarlet world does not seem to have any spellcasters.
"Red Moon..."
Enzo muttered to himself on the spot, 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 descended into the scarlet world, Enzo saw a red moon.
As a fourth-level all-spirit 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 this world, and it was very likely related to the 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 stand firm in this world now."
Enzo shook his head, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. The scene of the red moon in the sky is likely related to the origin of the world. Before reaching a certain height, he can't know more information.
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 Kingdom of Tucker. 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, Black was unwilling to take responsibility for anything.
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 that 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 there was also 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 did the Western Region take action against him? Although among the forces of the Tucker Kingdom, the third prince supported by Blake and the fourth prince supported by the Western Region were in a hostile relationship competing for the throne, but this alone did not seem to be enough to achieve such hatred. degree.
"Sorry, Senior Black."
Kevir 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 Glenn 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 battle 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 Territory, Blake was already injured when fighting the orcs on the front line. At this moment, he could not exert the combat power of a great knight at all. Coville alone was enough to deal with him.
In fact, it was true!
The injuries he suffered in the battle with the orcs on the front line had been suppressed by Blake. Now that his opponent was also a great knight, he had to go all out to deal with it. Therefore, in a few moments of confrontation, Blake's injuries broke out.
"Ahem!"
On horseback, Blake coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, barely raised the cross sword, and blocked the spear stabbed by Coville.
"Lord Blake!"
Seeing Blake injured, veterans such as Ge Lan exclaimed. Their loyalty to Blake almost made them forget their own strength.
Several veterans immediately rushed up to help.
However, before they took a few steps, a figure stopped them, with an extremely cold expression on his face.
"Knight Karl?" Ge Lan was slightly stunned.
The knight who blocked several people on the opposite side was also one of Black's three confidants, but at this moment, his face was cold and he drew his sword at his own people.
"Traitor?"
Enzo's face showed a trace of thoughtfulness. No wonder the West knew the whereabouts of Black 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."
Carl 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 Covel not to kill you."
"Traitor!" Ge Lan was furious and rushed up.
There was a trace of murderous intent in Karl's eyes. He had no feelings for several veterans. He could even betray Black, who had been loyal for many years. Killing Ge Lan and others was almost no psychological burden. The reason why he advised was also because of the half-month relationship.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Karl said coldly, thrusting out the cross sword in his hand. The sword blade wrapped with fighting spirit could end Ge Lan's life in an instant.
However, at this moment.
Enzo flicked a stone and hit Carl's sword blade, breaking the opponent's cross sword directly, causing Carl to stagger.
"You!" Carl was shocked.
The next moment, Enzo disappeared from the spot. Before everyone could react, he had come to Carl, casually swung the cross sword, and drew a bloody mark on his throat.
"Uh..." Knight Carl covered his throat, his face full of disbelief, but he finally fell to the ground slowly.
