Two years later.
Sure enough, according to what Grimm had thought, as the population dividend began to appear, Dawn Protector City, which was originally completely suppressed by Moth Frog City, began to gradually counterattack, and it became more and more ferocious.
Ordinary human Knight wars were often fought by dozens of Knights on both sides after a few short charges, leaving a few corpses to determine the winner and loser, and then they would leave on their own.
Some Knight wars with tens of thousands of people could only be formed by a large-scale aristocratic Knight Legion led by a feudal lord, which was enough to be praised by the civilians in a small area for a hundred years.
It was also because of this that the power of a Legendary Knight was revealed.
After all, a normal Knight war was just a conflict between dozens or hundreds of people.
On the Rocky Mountain Iron Mine, the mature and resolute Muyi held a broadsword in his hand. The frequent battle experience had made this Legendary Knight stronger than before. The vigorous Qi and blood in his body seemed to be burning, making people who were slightly close to him feel their blood boiling, like a huge furnace.
"Damn it, Dawn Protector City is here again."
A Knight behind Muyi, riding on the back of a warhorse, looked into the distance and found a team of more than a hundred Dawn Protector City Knights.
Over the past month, small-scale Knight wars frequently broke out in the Sawtooth Mountain, and there were casualties on both sides almost every day. As the war gradually became more frequent, the reputation of Muyi the Beheader also spread throughout Dawn Protector City, and he became the number one bounty enemy.
On the large iron mine workshop in the mine.
There were more than two hundred Knight Guards stationed in Moth Frog City all year round, and the other two hundred or so people in the Blood Agate Mine formed a triangle. This was the largest force that Grimm could mobilize after protecting Moth Frog City.
After all, Grimm could not always rely on instigating and encouraging the unemployed Knights in Moth Frog City to selflessly contribute to Moth Frog City. Their passion could only last for a short period of time.
The other knight behind Muyi took out his horn.
"Woo!" The horn sounded, and after a short while, dozens of Knights gathered urgently. The rest of the Knights rushed from other directions in the mine, and the fine metal armor on their bodies clanked non-stop.
This was the equipment advantage that Moth Frog City's economic advantage had transformed into.
In comparison, the equipment of the Dawn Protector City Knights was much more backward. They only had the most basic equipment to protect them, and even the warhorses they were riding were weaker than the Moth Frog City Knights.
"Charge!"
Muyi raised his greatsword high and shouted loudly. He took the lead and led the dozens of knights behind him, who had gathered in an emergency, down the hill.
Although the number of knights that Muyi urgently gathered was a little less, the terrain and equipment advantage was enough to make up for it. Furthermore, there was the confidence that Muyi, a legendary knight, brought …
Ding!
The broadsword collided with the war hammer. Sensing the powerful force coming from the war hammer and the vital energy and blood energy bursting forth from the other party, Muyi was shocked.
Legendary Knight!
Dawn Protector City also had a Legendary Knight!
In the first round, after a brief charge against each other, only one person from the Moth Frog City Knight team led by Muyi was injured, while seven people from Dawn Protector City fell from their warhorses. Four of them never got up again and fell into a pool of blood.
"Hehe, Beheader Sword Muyi, prepare to welcome the wrath of Dawn Protector City's Storm Hammer!"
This Legendary Knight of Dawn Protector City looked like he was in his fifties. He had a white stubble beard and was short but strong. In the brief contact just now, Muyi could feel that his strength was obviously weaker than the other party's. It was only by relying on the advantage of the charge from a higher position and the warhorse that he barely managed to tie.
However, this time, the two sides had exchanged positions for the second time. It would be the other party who had the advantage from a higher position.
The iron hooves of the warhorses galloped on the gentle hillside lawn. A large amount of soil splashed up, mixed with the smell of crushed vegetation. The knights of Moth Frog City and Dawn Protector City once again carried out a brief charge against each other.
This time, the result was that each side had five people fall from their warhorses. It was just that only three people from Moth Frog City stood up, while four people from Dawn Protector City stood up. The advantage of the terrain was self-evident.
Muyi's arm that was holding the broadsword high was trembling a little, and the warhorse under him was panting uneasily.
This Legendary Knight of Dawn Protector City, nicknamed the Storm Hammer, was indeed stronger than himself. It seemed that this was a Legendary Knight who had returned from his travels, or perhaps the Dawn Protector City Master had hired him from other places through some means?
"Damn it!"
"Damn it, that guy is the same as Muyi, he's also a Legendary Knight!"
The knights behind Muyi looked at the Storm Hammer in shock. The deterrence and symbolic significance of a Legendary Knight to an ordinary knight was self-evident.
"Hahahaha, Muyi the Greatsword Beheader, we will fight often in the future. The victory of the war will gradually lean towards our Dawn Protector City, hahahahaha!"
After the Storm Hammer carried the iron hammer and shouted, as a group of Mine Knights had gathered behind Muyi again, he did not plan to charge for the third time and left with more than a hundred knights.
Muyi clenched his teeth and felt an unprecedented pressure.
Suddenly, Muyi could not help but think of Grandmother Vivian's kind face and the question, "Are you really willing to be a Legendary Knight in Moth Frog City forever?".
Muyi exhaled the frustration in his chest.
"I can make use of this Storm Hammer Legendary Knight to make myself stronger!"
…
One year later.
"Damn it, last month's rotation, City Master Grimm only transferred fifty knights here. If this goes on, we won't be able to defend this iron mine!"
The flames swayed in the night, and the trusted knight beside Muyi who was eating barbecued meat and drinking hard liquor complained.
It was no wonder that in the past year, not only did Dawn Protector City's harassment attacks become frequent, sometimes as many as two or three times a day, but the number of knights that appeared was also gradually increasing.
"If it weren't for Commander Muyi, I wouldn't have the confidence to hold on until now. Didn't you see that these iron workshops are starting to close? Obviously, these guys are not optimistic about the situation here."
The slightly thinner and more shrewd knight also complained.
Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp …
An old knight gulped down a few mouthfuls of hard liquor and laughed with the help of the drunkenness, "What are you complaining about? If you have the energy, you might as well eat a few more mouthfuls of meat and f * ck up that Dawn Protector City guy tomorrow, hmph hmph hmph."
Muyi was silent and did not speak. Under Muyi's exquisite control of the broadsword in his hand, the barbecued meat was sliced evenly. Each slice was only half a centimeter thick, and the fragrance of the grease filled the air.
"Bring some chili over."
That was the only sentence that Muyi said that night.
…
In the Moth Frog City's governor's residence, Grimm smiled as he examined the three Legendary Knights.
That's right, three Legendary Knights!
Grimm issued high-level employment missions to the chambers of commerce that had connections with Moth Frog City, allowing these chambers of commerce to find suitable high-level mercenary groups outside of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy. Under Grimm's high bounty, three mercenary groups with Legendary Knights came forward to be recruited.
These three Legendary Knights not only represented themselves, but also represented the mercenary groups that were established behind them, representing dozens of desperate knights who lived on the edge of a knife all year round.
"Tell me the information about your respective mercenary groups."
Grimm sat on the high chair and said calmly.
Competition?
The first Legendary Knight stood up. Under his white eyebrows was a pair of sharp eagle eyes, and he seemed to be the most experienced Legendary Knight among the three.
"Flame Mercenary Group, one active Legendary Knight, fifty-seven Elite Knights, and one Inherited Flame Bird!"
When he mentioned the Flame Bird, the Legendary Knight leader's voice raised a few octaves. The three-meter-long Flame Bird hovering in the sky above the governor's residence had indeed shocked many people in the small city. The big bird was like a flame, light and elegant, and it had mastered the Power of Flame.
Even for the Legendary Knights, this Flame Bird could be considered a powerful support partner. The degree of Flame Attack was enough to reach more than forty degrees.
The second Legendary Knight stood up. He was two meters tall with a big belly, and his huge body squeaked on the wooden floor of the hall, giving off an indescribable oppressive aura.
"Roaring Earth Mercenary Group, one active Legendary Knight, eighty-four Elite Knights."
Grimm nodded.
Obviously, this mercenary group was just a regular mercenary group. There was nothing special about it, and the only advantage it had was the number of people.
Grimm looked at the third mercenary group. The third Legendary Knight was a woman.
"Magnolia's Will Mercenary Group, one active Legendary Knight, thirty-four Elite Knights, and one Magic Apprentice!"
Huh?
Not only Grimm, but the other two Legendary Knights also looked at this female Knight in surprise. She had a Sorcerer-Apprentice?!
Grimm squinted his eyes, trying to find some deeper information from this female Knight's appearance.
Although they were both legendary knights, this female knight was obviously weaker in the exploration of the power of Qi and Blood. It seemed that some kind of external force was assisting the female knight to stimulate the power of Qi and Blood, similar to the early auxiliary steps of sorcerer-apprentices learning Blood Witchcraft.
Moreover, the physique of the female knight was slightly stronger than that of the other two Legendary Knights. However, Grimm could tell from her Soul Fire that she was only in her twenties or thirties. It was obvious that she could only achieve this with the help of some magic potions.
If that was the case, it should be the Sorcerer-Apprentice's favor.
"Sorcerer-Apprentice?"
Grimm looked outside the hall and saw an old Sorcerer-Apprentice whose Soul Fire was already weakening and dissipating. His aura was actually somewhat similar to the female Knight.
It seemed that this female Knight should be the descendant of this old Sorcerer-Apprentice.
The Legendary Knights of the Roaring Earth Mercenary Group and the Legendary Knights of the Flame Mercenary Group had ugly expressions. They really did not expect this unknown mercenary group to actually …
It seemed that there was no hope for this mercenary mission.
However, this was also something that could not be helped. They had a Sorcerer-Apprentice, and this Sorcerer-Apprentice was definitely the most powerful kind of Sorcerer-Apprentice. It was not something that Flame Bird and dozens of Knights could compare to.
Just as the two of them were sighing in disappointment, Grimm smiled faintly and said, "Alright, Flame Mercenary Group, Roaring Earth Mercenary Group, Magnolia's Will Mercenary Group, all of you are qualified. For the next two years, Moth Frog Town will give you the corresponding remuneration according to the contract."
What!?
Hired all of them!?
Did Moth Frog Town have such wealth?
The resources spent to hire such a level of mercenary group was not a small number. Even if Moth Frog Town had some development over the years, it obviously could not afford such remuneration.
