Chapter 52: Tough Enemy’s Arrival
It wasn’t certain when the mysterious man under the black cloak had appeared beside the silver masked knight, but he wasn’t affected by the silver masked knight at all. A black cloud of energy loomed around him, bending the light around him. The white thin horse he was riding on was snorting and chewing on grass on the ground.
“Pass on my command – ready the armour piercing arrow formation. Make sure to cover the entire front half of the bridge. I will nail those dogs onto the bridge no matter what I have to pay……” The silver masked knight commanded in rage. His eyes were all red and looked terrifying.
“Master, there……There are our soldiers on the bridge……They might be accidentally injured……”
All the black knights were surprised. Those metal beasts had charged into their formations, and the two groups had mixed together. If they shot their armour piercing arrows at them, the opponent would probably be killed, but so would their 100 plus soldiers.
“Soldiers? Soldiers need to sacrifice their blood and lives to build the honour of their commander. It’s their duty; if they can on die on the battlefield for me, they should be considered lucky.
The silver masked knight didn’t even turn around. A single sentence had determined the fate of the hundreds of soldiers.
The tiniest bit of consciousness hanging on in the silver masked knight’s fiery rage made him feel like he needed another plan B. The series of losses gave him more awareness of the situation, as well as some fear. The man that was charging at the very front gave him too much of a shock; it made him feel like even the armour piercing arrows couldn’t kill those ferocious beasts.
He sat on his frozen horse sculpture for a while, then turned around and said gently to the mysterious black cloaked man, “Teacher, if……If the armour piercing arrows aren’t effective, please help me and use your ruthless magic to wipe out those hard to deal with dogs!”
The mysterious black cloaked man nodded. His movement allowed the wind to slightly lift up his cloak, revealing a wand that had many complex and cryptic engravings.
He didn’t reply to the silver masked knight right away, but whispered to himself, “Amazing……I’d never believe that it could be possible to switch between a wild physical strength, a gloomy magic power, and a divine holy power. It looks like that man has acquired some mysterious skill……Although all three powers aren’t that strong, it’s interesting……I have to obtain his secret. That way, maybe I can advance to the next rank and my strength can increase a ton, hahaha……”
After he thought about that, he turned his head and said to the silver masked knight in his cold, hoarse voice: “I can help you, but that man has to be captured alive; he is useful for me.”
