Chapter 6 – Knight Rank Powerhouse
Translator: Xaiomoge
“Black Wind Bandits? Who are they?” Yang Feng creased his eyebrows, and then followed the butler Liu towards the top of the castle city wall.
On the way to the city wall, the butler Liu gave Yang Feng a detailed explanation about the Black Wind Bandits.
The Black Wind Bandits was a group of bandits active in the vicinity of the Giant Stone City. It was entirely composed of cavalrymen, coming and going alike the wind. It was extremely cunning, and plundered towns and caravans all over.
The Giant Stone City had dispatched troops on several occasions to get rid of the Black Wind Bandits. After a number of failures, it became known that Barry, the leader of the Black Wind Bandits, was a shocking powerhouse with Knight rank strength.
Knight was what experts that practice Knight secret methods and broke through the limitations of the mortal body were called. An ordinary Knight could wield 200-kilogram-heavy weapons as they pleased. After wearing an armor covering their entire body, they would feel more like invulnerable tanks. They had extraordinary combat ability, having no equal.
There was not a single Knight rank powerhouse among the Autumn Leaf Town’s several hundred people.
The strongest powerhouse in the Autumn Leaf Castle was the guard commander Zhao En and ,was merely an intermediate Warrior. Without the protection of the city wall, a Knight could easily massacre everyone in the Autumn Leaf Castle.
In general, experts with Knight rank cultivation base would be recruited by greater aristocrats. However, due to various reasons, some Knights would become bandits or criminals. Knights who turned into criminals were undoubtedly the most terrifying existences.
The butler Liu described to Yang Feng the horror of the Black Wind Bandits. Meanwhile, he secretly glanced at the 4 brawny bodyguards beside Yang Feng, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer of doubt.
The Autumn Leaf Town was a closed-off town with a low population, so the arrival of strangers would certainly cause a great sensation. The butler Liu felt doubtful when Yang Feng returned with 4 eye-catching, brawny bodyguards from a trip. However, he knew that this was a dangerous time, so he didn’t ask too many questions.
When Yang Feng reached the top of the city wall, he saw over 100 cloaked black, armed to the teeth cavalrymen galloping their way atop first-rate war mounts.
Leading the cavalry was a warrior covered in heavy armor riding a wildebeest. As if a tank, he exuded a strong sense of oppression.
Yang Feng examined the surroundings. Atop the city wall, there were 36 guards, including 10 archers, 8 junior Warriors, and a single intermediate Warrior, who was the guard commander Zhao En.
This lineup had no problem to maintain the Autumn Leaf Town’s public order. However, to deal with the Black Wind Bandits, which had a Knight, was certainly a pipe dream.
The guards atop the city wall had pale complexions as they looked at the Black Wind Bandits in the distance. Some guards even had their legs and arms tremble. Were it not for the protection from the 6-meter-tall city wall, the morale of these guards might have already collapsed, unable to fight.
The guards in the Autumn Leaf Castle had only upheld public security until now. There was no comparison between them and the Black Wind Bandits who went through numerous life-and-death battles. Every Black Wind Bandit was at least a junior Warrior. Moreover, if pitted against anyone of those junior Warriors who went through numerous life-and-death battles, even the strongest person in the Autumn Leaf Town, Zhao En, might not necessarily be able to kill them.
Over 100 Black Wind Bandits, as if a whirlwind, quickly arrived before the Autumn Leaf Castle.
Covered in a black heavy armor, Barry dismounted his mount with ease and, through the visor of his helmet, looked coldly at the Autumn Leaf Castle.
The over 100 Black Wind Bandits dismounted their mounts skillfully, took their places behind Barry, and looked at the Autumn Leaf Castle with ridicule.
Without any nonsense, Barry drew an enormous sword from his back and strode towards the Autumn Leaf Castle.
The more than 100 Black Wind Bandits followed Barry and charged towards the Autumn Leaf Castle.
“Release the arrows!! Release the arrows!! Shoot him! Shoot Barry!!” Zhao En looked pale as he shouted.
The 10 archers desperately fired at Barry from atop the city wall.
Shortly after, ten arrows shot at Barry alike raindrops.
The 10 archers obviously weren’t well trained as nine of the ten arrows missed. Only one arrow hit Barry in the shoulder, and then ricocheted. free webnov el.com
Unaffected, Barry proceeded towards the Autumn Leaf Castle like a terrifying tank.
When they saw this, the guards atop the city wall had their courage and moral plummet. The second volley of arrows didn’t even brush against Barry.
“Amazing! That’s a heavy-armored Knight for you, amazing indeed!” When Yang Feng saw Barry charge amid the rain of arrows in an unrestrained fashion, his eyes flashed with admiration.
Within a few breaths of time, Barry arrived at the bottom of the Autumn Leaf Castle’s city wall. He erupted with a shocking aura and, with a vigorous step, jumped up, then landed atop the 6-meter-tall Autumn Leaf Castle’s city wall, slashed down with his sword, and chopped a guard in twine, scattering blood and viscera all over.
The guards atop the Autumn Leaf Castle’s city wall had never experienced a bloody battle. Seeing this terrifying scene, their morale crumbled and they scattered. fre(e)webnov(l).com
“Barry! Barry!!”
“Barry! Barry!”
“...”
At the bottom of the city wall, the Black Wind Bandits raised their weapons and burst into feverish and excited cheers.
Barry swept the Autumn Leaf Town’s guards with a cold glance, then dropped down ropes from atop the city wall with a wave of his hand.
The Black Wind Bandits at the bottom grabbed the ropes and swiftly climbed up.
The legs of the butler Liu trembled. He looked at the death-god-like Barry and said in a shaky voice: “Master, we should escape!!”
“No matter how high his martial prowess are, he can be felled with a shot! A mere Knight doesn’t count for much in front of a firearm!” Yang Feng sneered, pulled out a 9 millimeter pistol from his waist, aimed at Barry, and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The unbridled Barry was shot six times. Hit by the 9 millimeter bullets, Barry’s heavy armor was ran through, and six bloody holes appeared on his body, and blood gushed out.
“You injured me!! Fucking yellow-skinned son of a bitch! How dare you injure the mighty Knight Barry! I’ll crush your bones inch by inch, mince you, and feed you to the dogs!” Barry was shot six times, yet his eyes turned bloodshot and flashed with a savage glint. With a furious roar, a terrifying power erupted from his body, and the six bloody bullets were ejected.
