Chapter 948: Chapter 946: Magic Knight vs Wizard
Looking into the distance, he saw three squads of Magic Knights, each consisting of ten people. They rode on sturdy horses, dressed in deep blue armor, and rapidly rushed forward, maneuvering to surround the two Wizards in the distance.
Richard speculated that these should be the Pompo Family’s most numerous Three-pattern Magic Knights, the basic members among the Magic Knight ranks.
In addition, every squad had two Black Armored Cavalry leading the way, with an even stronger presence, their mounts half a head taller than ordinary horses.
These should be the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, possessing the strength of Five-Pattern Elite Magic Knights… Richard continued his speculations.
Moreover, there was a solitary Golden Armored Cavalry at the rear of all the cavalry, riding a snow-white horse, fearlessly approaching the two Wizards.
This must be the so-called Deputy Commander Sed of the Magic Knights.
Richard speculated as three Magic Knight squads advanced rapidly, thoroughly surrounding the two Wizards. They then started to tighten the encirclement. It stopped at a distance of fifty meters from the two Wizards, remaining vigilant and not advancing further.
Deputy Commander Sed urged his horse to the front of the two Wizards, watching them for a long while before slowly speaking, his tone surprisingly polite: “Master Wizards, I wonder why you’re causing a disturbance in Saint Louis City?”
“Are you aware this city is under the management of the Pompo Family? I am willing to believe this is a misunderstanding and hope you can accompany me into the city. Inside, members of the Pompo Family are waiting for you, hoping to communicate with you and resolve this misunderstanding. What do you say?”
“Haha, trying to trick us into going into the city?” The Grey-eyed Wizard chuckled sinisterly, his laugh somewhat eerie. His eyeballs appeared exaggeratedly white, like a corpse staring at Sed, “You really think we’re kids? Outside the city, by fighting we might still find a chance to survive; if we really enter the city, whether we live or die will be completely under your control.”
“I am willing to guarantee with the honor of the Pompo Family that as long as you cooperate, I will absolutely not harm your lives.” Sed replied earnestly, “The Pompo Family has always welcomed talents, as long as you…”
“Ptooey!” The Brown-eyed Wizard spat, interrupting Sed’s words, and rolled his eyes, saying, “Just what kind of behavior does the Pompo Family have, there’s no need for you to say, we know well enough. Rather than believing in the Pompo Family’s honor, we would sooner trust a dog.”
Sed’s face changed, he took a deep breath and said: “So, are you completely unwilling to cooperate?”
“What do you think?” The Grey-eyed Wizard looked at Sed, continuing in his sinister tone.
Sed fell silent, about three seconds later, with a “bang”, he jumped off his horse and gave the order.
“Everyone dismount, prepare for battle!” Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
Thirty-six Magic Knights from three squads dismounted in unison, each drawing the longsword from their waist and pointing at the two Wizards in the center.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
The Magic Knights from the three squads stepped steadily, approaching the two Wizards, their eyes fixated on them cautiously against the deployment of spells.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
Their steps gradually quickened, the Magic Knights got closer and closer to the Wizards, soon reaching a distance of forty meters.
The two Wizards exchanged a glance, whispered a few words to each other, as if reaching a consensus, “Swish,” raising their hands, spells unleashed.
The surrounding air quickly surged, moisture drawn from all directions, then cooled and condensed.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
A circle of thick ice walls appeared around the two Wizards, blocking the Magic Knights from advancing.
Sed saw this and shouted: “Knock it down!”
“Push!” The squad leaders of the three Magic Knight squads followed suit.
The Magic Knights pressed their hands against the ice wall and exerted force, purple light glowing from their shoulders, with a “boom,” they pushed the ice wall down.
The Wizards behind the ice wall didn’t appear too shocked, clearly having anticipated this result, albeit not as quickly. The two exchanged a few more whispered words, waved their hands, and multiple fist-sized fireballs flew toward the Magic Knights, each with an intense temperature that scorched the air until it seemed somewhat distorted.
Sed observed this and commanded: “Dodge!”
“Dodge!” The squad leaders of the three Magic Knight squads shouted.
The boots of each Magic Knight exploded with undeniable blue light, significantly boosting their speed and jumping prowess. Whether by rolling or leaping, they swiftly evaded the fireball attacks, then accelerated toward the two Wizards.
The two Wizards exchanged a look, furrowed their eyebrows, a chill flashed in their eyes, and simultaneously pulled out a ring set with a blue gemstone from their chest and gripped it.
A massive amount of mana was poured into the ring, and the ground beneath them suddenly cracked, with numerous clods of soil flying up. In the rising dust, they compressed into hundreds of sharp stone cones, whistling toward the Magic Knights, who were already ten meters close.
This was the true killer move of the two Wizards, meant to severely injure the Magic Knights.
Now that the Magic Knights had advanced to ten meters, the distance was too close, the reaction time too short, making it hard to dodge.
Indeed, this was the case.
By the time Sed realized the Wizards’ attack, it was already too late to issue an order.
However, at this moment, the squad leaders of the three Magic Knight squads shouted, and in a grave tone: “Charge!”
While speaking, the squad leaders of the three Magic Knight squads took the initiative to rush forward, crossed their arms fiercely in front of their chests, silver light flashed brilliantly, and a silver-white energy shield emerged.
The silver-white energy shield was thin, far less robust than the Defensive Shield cast by Official Wizards, under the attack of the stone cones, it only held for a second before shattering, but successfully fragmented more than half of the stone cones, making the attack sparse.
Without hesitation, the squad leaders and their squad members braved the sparse stone cones, charging towards the two Wizards like tigers pouncing on a herd of sheep.
A few seconds later, at the cost of two lightly injured and one severely injured, they successfully reached the attack range, swinging their swords for a strike.
The two Wizards’ expressions changed, slightly surprised by the valor of the Magic Knights. With a low shout, they jointly cast powerful Wind Magic, forcibly repelling the Magic Knights who had gotten close to them several meters away, to gain a moment to breathe.
But now blood-spattered, the Magic Knights were like wounded tigers, without any pause, immediately pouncing again. They knew full well that giving Wizards time to breathe would only increase their own peril.
Roaring furiously, the Magic Knights closed in on the Wizards again, swinging their swords heavily.
Grinding their teeth, the two Wizards re-cast Wind Magic to repel the Magic Knights again.
Then the Magic Knights lunged a second time.
The two Wizards strained out the little mana they had left, casting Wind Magic for the third time to repulse the Magic Knights and used Wind Blades mixed in the strong wind to cut through the bodies of two Magic Knights.
Driven mad, the Magic Knights charged again, impervious to the strong winds and unafraid of the Wind Blades.
