Knight Captain Job rode at the front of his army of fourteen thousand Knights. Behind him, the Knights were all very aggressive. They had easily conquered Neking City, and they had received enough rewards to make the Knights optimistic about the future of this war.
A scout stopped in front of Captain Knight Job and shouted, "Report!"
"Speak!" Head Commander Job did not slow down, so the scout had no choice but to increase the speed of the horse to the same level as him.
"Sir, a Knight legion has appeared in front of us!" The scout bowed and reported.
"What? The Duchy of Carmel is reacting so quickly? " Captain Knight Job was shocked. He did not expect the Duchy of Carmel to move so quickly. It had only been a day, and the Knight legion was already here.
According to Captain Job's estimation, it would take at least a week for the Duchy of Carmel to react and mobilize the Knight legion. By that time, he should have already led his army to the edge of Harvest City.
He wanted to fight the Duchy of Carmel's army at the edge of Harvest City. That would be the perfect time for him to lead the army of the five kingdoms to destroy the Duchy of Carmel's army in one fell swoop.
Knight Job did not expect the Duchy of Carmel to mobilize their army through the Sky Ships. Of course, they were not as slow as they were on the ground.
Abel did not use the teleportation circle. It was not that he did not have enough energy, but he wanted a normal war, one that would allow the Duchy of Carmel's army to grow.
The three Sky Ships would remain in the Duchy of Carmel and become part of the Duchy of Carmel's army. Therefore, the speed at which the Sky Ships moved the army could provide a good example for future generals to study.
"How many Knights are there in the Duchy of Carmel?" Captain Knight Job asked again.
"Sir, more than three hundred Knights!" The scout replied.
"Haha, the Duchy of Carmel has prepared an army of three hundred Knights for us!" Captain Knight Job laughed and turned to the Knights behind him.
With a "boom", all the knights behind him burst out into laughter. Additionally, as this news spread, more and more knights knew about it. Therefore, all the knights burst out into laughter.
Knight Ewell, who had been a little worried at first, was relieved. It seemed that the Duchy of Carmel did not have a strong military force other than Abel. Fourteen thousand Knights and wizards were enough to crush Abel...
Head Commander Ewell wasn't the only one who felt this way. All the other head commanders felt the same way. Victory was right in front of them.
Fourteen thousand against three hundred. No matter how this battle was fought, there would only be one result.
"Victory!" Captain Knight Job took the opportunity to roar.
The Knights' morale also skyrocketed, and they roared with all their might, "Victory!"
It was noon when Captain Knight Job led the five allied armies to the outskirts of Morley City. The sun shone directly on the three hundred Knights in front of them.
The armor of the three hundred Duchy of Carmel Knights reflected a strange light. In the hands of each knight, whether it was the knight's greatsword or shield, they all had the same strange light.
"Is the Duchy of Carmel crazy? Three hundred Knights are all equipped with magic Knight equipment! " Captain Knight Job murmured as he stared at the equipment of the Knights.
He suddenly remembered that Abel was a Grandmaster Blacksmith. He couldn't help but envy the Knights of the Duchy of Carmel. Even a captain like himself only had a Knight's greatsword and shield. The rest of his armor was just ordinary armor.
Even the Knight's greatsword and shield were just the work of an ordinary Blacksmith. They were not even close to Abel's work.
"Rob them!" Captain Knight Job's eyes were a little red as he yelled.
"Rob them of their equipment!" Head Commander Armand's eyes had also turned red. All he could think about was those magic gears, so he yelled.
"Abel is crazy. There are three hundred sets of magic Knight equipment, and he's giving them to these Knights!" Captain Knight Ewell also yelled. He couldn't believe his eyes.
The news quickly spread among the fourteen thousand Knights, and the eyes of all the Knights turned red.
The most important things in a Knight's life were the warhorse, knight's greatsword, shield, and armor. These were all important companions of a knight. Every knight had to learn how to get along with a warhorse and how to maintain a knight's greatsword, shield, and armor since they were apprentices.
It was precisely because they had been exposed to it since they were young and had entrusted their lives to the protection of the knight's equipment as they grew up that they had an extraordinary love for the knight's equipment.
Now, there were three hundred sets of magic Knight equipment in front of them, in the hands of a group of Knights who weren't very strong.
How many Knights did they have? Fourteen thousand Knights. Victory was inevitable, but there were only three hundred sets of magic equipment. The only problem now was to see who could act the fastest.
Luckily, the knights were still very disciplined. They were waiting for Head Commander Job's command, and as soon as he gave the command, they would begin their charge.
However, Captain Knight Job didn't do that. He waved his hand in the air, signaling the Knight army to stop.
"Captain Knights, in order to reduce casualties, let's form a formation to attack the Duchy of Carmel Knights in front!" Captain Job said to the Great Knight commanders beside him.
This proposal immediately received the approval of all the Great Knight commanders. How could they not agree?
Fourteen thousand Knights fighting for three hundred sets of magic Knight equipment and fifteen Great Knights fighting for three hundred sets of magic Knight equipment were two completely different things.
In the end, it would be difficult to guarantee that each Great Knight commander would get a set of magic Knight equipment. However, if fifteen Great Knight commanders rushed forward, each Great Knight commander would get many sets of magic Knight equipment.
If these magic Knight equipment were really made by Abel, then each set of magic Knight equipment could be passed down for countless generations. Each set could allow a Knight to unleash power beyond his ability.
The Great Knight commanders' words made the Knights behind them curse. The loot that originally belonged to them had become the personal property of the Great Knight commanders. This kind of change made them very unhappy.
However, these Great Knight commanders were the leaders of the Duchy, so the Knights didn't dare to cross the line. Still, they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
Captain Knight Job had no choice but to do this. If the normal knights got their magic Knight equipment, what would the Great Knight commanders do? Would they have to fight for it?
If they did, the entire Knight army would be divided. The reason why the Knights participated in this kind of war was to ensure that their loot would not be stolen.
This had always been a tradition in the Holy Continent. The Knight's loot would go to the one who killed the enemy.
Of course, Captain Knight Job was only defending himself. He didn't want to admit that he was greedy.
Soon, the 15 Great Knight commanders formed an arrow formation and rushed towards the 300 Knights of the Duchy of Carmel.
Abel connected with Grand Knight Of The Bodley through his identity card, "Bodley, tell the Knights to back off. I'll kill them with the Sky Ship!"
With the existence of the Sky Ship, the spirit on the Sky Ship could use the formation on the Sky Ship to cover the surrounding area within the range of the Communication Card. In this area, the Communication Card could be used to communicate.
Therefore, Abel could easily communicate with the Grand Knight Of The Bodley, the commander of the 300 Knights on the ground.
Grand Knight Of The Bodley lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, can you let the Knights fight against the 15 Knights? I'm sure the 300 Knights can stop them!"
He knew Abel was worried about the loss of the Knights, but he thought differently. It had been almost 2 years, and these Knights had been trained by him. They had the best equipment and the best benefits, but they had never been in a real war.
They didn't know what a real war was, so it didn't matter how good their training was. They needed a real battle, a battle of life and death. Although there was a chance of death, it was still very beneficial for the growth of these Knights.
Abel thought for a moment and said, "Bodley, I trust you. Let's do as you say!"
"The king is watching us from the sky. We have the best resources in the Holy Continent. We have the king's handmade magic equipment. We ride the best war horses in the human world. Everything is the best. But why should we have them?
Because we are the king's Knights. We will fight for the king. We have given our lives to the king! "Grand Knight Of The Bodley yelled at the 300 Knights he had trained.
"We are the king's Knights. We will fight for the king. We have given our lives to the king!" The eyes of the 300 Knights began to shine. They had been training non-stop. Although they were the most elite Knights, they didn't have any achievements to back them up.
In Harry Castle, there were even more powerful Griffin Knights. Almost all the enemies were killed as soon as they crossed the border. There was no chance left for them.
Now, they could finally make a move. They could fight for King Abel in a battle of life and death.
"Honor is my life!" Grand Knight Of The Bodley yelled. His body began to glow with powerful combat qi. Behind him, the 300 Knights began to glow with combat qi as well.
A rhombus-shaped battle formation was quickly formed as the war horses galloped. It was a rare Knight battle formation.
The reason why Head Commander Bodley was valued by Abel was because of his leadership skills. Countless knights and wizards trusted him in the orc battlefield. They trusted him with their lives because of this.
The difference between the Grand Knight Of The Bodley and Knight Of The Bodley was that the Grand Knight Of The Bodley had always been fighting with the wind. He rarely fought with opponents who were on par with him.
On the other hand, the Grand Knight Of The Bodley had been fighting with the elite orcs on the orc battlefield for a long time. There was a huge difference between the two.
On the other hand, when the Grand Knight Of The Bodley yelled out, "Honor is my life!" Knight Of The Bodley wanted to yell out the same words, but he couldn't.
His heart was filled with greed, plunder, and injustice. He had invaded the duchy of Carmel, so no matter how much he tried to justify himself, he couldn't do it with passion when he wanted to yell out the knight's language.
The 300 Knights of the Duchy of Carmel channeled their combat qi through the rhombus-shaped battle formation to the Grand Knight Of The Bodley, who was at the front of the formation. His combat qi storage increased dramatically. Part of his combat qi instantly turned into an ice armor and formed an ice shield around the Knights.
The other part of his combat qi turned into a giant flaming sword and raised it to the sky.
"Grand Knight Of The Two Elements!" Knight Job saw the Grand Knight Of The Bodley use two types of combat qi, and his eyes were filled with horror.
The reason why a Grand Knight Of The Two Elements could be the most terrifying was because an ordinary knight was either the strongest in defense or the strongest in attack. However, a Grand Knight Of The Two Elements could be the strongest in both aspects.
In a Knight battle formation, this could greatly increase the power of the Knight battle formation.
On one side was a rhombus-shaped battle formation formed by 300 Knights. On the other side was an arrow-shaped battle formation formed by 15 Grand Knights. The 2 battle formations collided on the battlefield.
The Grand Knight Of The Bodley's giant flaming sword heavily slashed down. Captain Job, who was at the front of the 15 Grand Knights, raised his shield. With a loud bang, a light flashed on Captain Job's shield. In an instant, the terrifying force and fire element attack was transmitted to the 15 Grand Knights.
Although the combat qi of 300 Knights was powerful enough, it couldn't do any damage to the 15 Grand Knights.
Knight Job's sword was flashing with flames. He didn't condense a giant combat qi sword because they were too few in number. Instead, he condensed all the combat qi on his sword. The 15 Grand Knights gathered together and slashed towards the Grand Knight Of The Bodley.
Head Commander Bodley raised the shield in his left hand. Head Commander Job's Flaming Knight Greatsword landed on his shield. If it were a normal shield, it would've shattered on the spot.
This was a concentrated attack from 15 Grand Knights. However, the Grand Knight Of The Bodley's shield was forged by Abel. It was made of fine iron. Coupled with the attribute of reducing physical damage, it didn't break the shield.
In other words, the Grand Knight Of The Bodley's shield didn't even leave a mark on it. Captain Job's attack only made the 300 Knight in the rhombus-shaped battle formation shake a little, and the terrifying attack was dissolved.
When Captain Job was about to attack again, he suddenly realized that his speed had slowed down. He didn't know when, but his body was covered with frost.
"Change formation!" He yelled and quickly retreated. Captain Armand stepped forward to lead the battle formation in his place.
The slowing effect on his body came from the ice armor of the Grand Knight Of The Bodley. When he attacked the ice armor, he would naturally be attacked by the ice armor. This was the ability that Ice Knights were proud of. Although it wasn't as good as a Fire Knight, it could slow down the opponent.
Fortunately, Captain Job reacted quickly. When the Grand Knight Of The Bodley's second attack came, Captain Armand blocked it with his shield.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared on the battlefield. 300 not-so-powerful knights under the lead of a double attributed head commander were fighting against 15 head commanders. It was hard to tell who had the upper hand in a short period of time.
This battle fully indicated that the use of battle formations was sometimes more important than personal force in battles between knights. Additionally, personal force could be used as an auxiliary to battle formations.
Abel was watching the battle from the sky ship. He felt that it was worth it to bring the Grand Knight Of The Bodley to the Duchy of Carmel. In the future, the family of the Grand Knight Of The Bodley would have a second Grand Knight Of The Bodley, or even more.
Don't underestimate the power of a family's inheritance. Normal family inheritances could only allow one knight to become a head knight, and that was the limit. That was unless a king like Abel gave the head knight training methods and resources.
However, the family of the Grand Knight Of The Bodley had the complete inheritance of Knight Of The Bodley, which was what Abel valued the most.
The battle had been going on for 20 minutes. The Grand Knight Of The Bodley was commanding the battle formation in an artistic way. Under his command, the 300 ordinary Knights didn't die in the last 20 minutes. They were fighting against the 15 Grand Knight Of The Bodley.
However, ordinary Knights were just ordinary Knights. Their combat qi reserves were so low that they couldn't sustain it for long.
The Grand Knight Of The Bodley sensed this and asked Abel through the communication card, "Your Majesty, the Knight Of The Bodley wants to withdraw!"
"Good job, Bodley. Withdraw!" Abel replied immediately.
He was very satisfied with the knight legion's first battle. He needed all of them alive. They were the seeds of the duchy of Carmel's knights.
The Grand Knight Of The Bodley suddenly yelled. The Knight Of The Bodley's sword in his right hand was ignited again. The flame instantly became huge and formed a huge sword of fire.
He swept the huge sword of fire towards the enemy. At the same time, the diamond battle formation changed direction. During the change, each Knight on the opposite side of the battle formation took turns to attack with their sword. Although they weren't Grand Knight Of The Bodley, when they attacked with their sword, they gathered the combat qi of all 300 Knights.
The sword of combat qi continuously shot towards the battle formation formed by the Knight Of The Bodley. First, it was the sword of fire, then the sword of combat qi. In a short time, the combat qi of the 300 Knights was depleted.
However, it also gave the battle formation a chance to turn around and quickly retreat.
The battle formation formed by the 15 Grand Knight Of The Duchy of Carmel was suddenly attacked. When they saw the 300 Knights Of The Duchy of Carmel retreating, they wanted to chase after them, but it was too late.
However, Grand Knight Armand didn't want to let go of this opportunity. He waved his hand, and the combat qi of the Knights in the battle formation flashed. Soon, the combat qi of the Knight Of The Duchy of Carmel wrapped around the war horses.
This was a way to consume the stamina of the war horses. It could be used to increase the speed of the war horses from slow speed to extreme speed in an instant.
However, just as Grand Knight Of The Duchy of Carmel increased the speed of the war horses, three huge flying objects suddenly appeared in the sky. He could clearly see a young man in a wizard's robe standing on the head of the flying objects.
Although they hadn't seen Abel in person, all the Grand Knight Of The Duchy of Carmel had seen Abel's portrait. Although Abel had grown a lot in the past two years, his face hadn't changed much.
This was a must. He had become an official wizard when he was still a minor, so his face would not change much. Plus, he had drunk countless bottles of Full Recovery Potion, so the changes would be even less obvious.
Then, 14 Griffin Knights flew out from the three flying objects. Four of them were obviously Grand Knight Of The Duchy of Carmel.
Abel's appearance surprised all the Grand Knight Of The Duchy of Carmel. They didn't want to chase after the 300 Knights Of The Duchy of Carmel anymore. The three huge flying objects were giving them a lot of pressure.
"I'm very angry!" Abel's voice spread across the battlefield through the magic circle on the sky ship.
"Eight hundred and fifty-three people have been killed in Neking City. One of them was Knight Captain Harlow of the Hari family of Gamba. I appointed him as the Lord of Neking City. You killed him!" Abel sounded like he was talking to someone. It didn't sound like he was angry, but the fourteen thousand knights on the battlefield felt like they were being oppressed.
"I need someone to bear my anger!" Abel raised his voice. A faint murderous aura rose from his body.
If there were any dragons here, they would know what kind of energy this was. It was the dragon aura of the dragons. Although Abel didn't want to reveal his dragon aura, his soul had merged with the dragon aura after so many times of being transformed by the dragon crystal. He now had some of the characteristics of a dragon.
While Abel was talking, the five intermediate wizards had already flashed towards the sky ship. The sky ship wasn't very high. It was only 150 meters high, which was within the range of an intermediate wizard's "instantaneous movement."
The five intermediate wizards had been waiting for Abel to show up. Now that Abel was here, their chance had come.
The commander spirit on Abel could warn him of any threat, but the five intermediate wizards weren't even a threat to him. Even the commander spirit didn't see them as a threat to Abel's life.
How fast was the 'instantaneous movement'? When an intermediate wizard cast a max level 'instantaneous movement', they could stop in place for half a second and then continue to 'instantaneous movement'. The distance of each 'instantaneous movement' was different according to the power of the will of each wizard, and the distance was different.
An intermediate wizard's "instantaneous movement" was about 150 meters. Although the five intermediate wizards weren't very powerful, they had been worshiped by their duchies for a long time, so their power of the will wasn't weak at all.
After flashing out of the carriage, they flashed among the 14,000 Knights and arrived below the sky ship in just a few seconds.
In front of the 10,000 Knights, the five intermediate wizards turned into white light and flashed onto the sky ship. They were about 10 meters away from Abel and quickly began to draw spell patterns.
They were drawing spell patterns at full speed with their power of the will. They wanted to finish drawing and cast before Abel could react. They wanted to finish drawing and cast before Abel finished his spell pattern.
However, something that made them happy happened. Abel didn't cast a spell. Abel didn't even move. He just stood there and looked at them.
What they didn't understand was that Abel had a weird smile on his face. It was like he was laughing at them.
Wizard Malory had a bad feeling. He had seen this smile before. It was a smile that looked down on his opponent like they were nothing. It was a smile that caught him like a child. It was a smile that had always been his nightmare.
Now that he saw it again, the spell pattern in his hand stopped for a moment. It was like everything in front of him had stopped. All he could hear was the sound of his heartbeat.
Afterward, a few bolts of lightning appeared. No one was faster than lightning. Lightning spells were the scariest in the wizard world.
Wizard Mallory saw it, but it wasn't Abel who did it. Instead, it was the lightning that was ignited by the balls of light on the pillars in front of the sky ship.
"Is there someone who can engrave lightning spells on the mechanism?" A question popped up in Wizard Mallory's mind, but no one could answer it.
Wizard Malory and the other 4 intermediate wizards were surrounded by lightning. The lightning was too fast, and they were too close to the lightning spirals. They didn't even realize how dangerous they were until they were hit.
The five intermediate wizards were not as strong as Abel, so they didn't even have a chance to scream before they collapsed on the deck of the sky ship with their bodies charred black.
The entire battlefield was silent. Those were intermediate wizards, the most powerful beings in every duchy. They could move in a flash, and they were almost impossible to kill. However, 5 intermediate wizards had just been killed in front of tens of thousands of people.
It was different from the legendary elite wizards that Abel killed. No matter how scary the legends were, it was not as real as what they saw in front of them.
Head Knight Captain Job's heart sank. He couldn't imagine what would happen if the duchy of Tex lost an intermediate wizard. The duchy's power would drop drastically.
However, there was no need to think about that. He was thinking about how many Knights he could bring back to the duchy of Tex today.
There was no way they could attack the 3 flying objects in front of them. There were also 14 Griffin Knights. It was time to see who could run faster.
His eyes began to spin as he tried to think of a way to get out of this place. Then, he turned around and looked at the enemies on the battlefield.
"Enjoy my anger. Attack!" Abel's voice echoed across the land. As soon as he gave the order, the crossbowmen on the sky ship fired their bursting crossbows. One after another, bolts flew towards the Knights.
The lightning spirals on the sky ship were ignited again. This time, their target was the 15 Knight captains.
"Defend!" Head Knight Job yelled. He saw the lightning spirals were glowing, and he knew things were not going well.
He didn't think about running. No matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun an intermediate wizard's "move in a flash." Even an intermediate wizard couldn't escape, let alone a Knight on a war horse like him.
His yell was timely. At least before the lightning spirals arrived, they had successfully erected their defensive formation.
However, it was all in vain. The 15 Knight captains had merged into one. If the lightning struck one of them, it would be like striking all of them.
Abel didn't dare to take the lightning spirals head-on even with his lightning resistance, let alone those Knight captains who were born with low lightning resistance.
In just one strike, the 5 weakest Knight captains were burnt black. Five combat qi smoke rose from the battlefield.
The other 10 Knight captains had lost their ability to fight back. According to the Knight's code, they should be captured and ransomed by their families.
But what they did was wrong. They had lost the protection of the Knight's code.
The second strike of the lightning spirals struck down, and 10 more combat qi smoke appeared on the battlefield.
The continuous bolts from the City-Bursting Crossbows shot into the battle formation of 14,000 knights. However, at this time, the knight battle formation no longer had a commander. After the bolts shot into it, it turned into a pile of scattered sand.
