Grim did not wait for long as the expected high-grade knights finally appeared.
Hakanth was indeed the largest city in the northern part of the Zambez Empire.
Ever since he stepped through the city gates, even Grim, who was picky and arrogant, had to admit that this was a bustling and beautiful human city.
Tall and majestic city walls stood tall, and the wide and flat bluestone roads outlined the crisscrossing streets. Hakanth had a good drainage system, so the roads were always dry and clean, unlike the muddy and dirty feeling of other cities.
The lively and noisy business district, the busy warehouse district, the elegant and noble noble district, and the Holy Light Chapel that stood tall in the center of the city.
The architectural style of the Zambeis Empire tended to be mellow and gentle. From Wind Spirit's point of view, all the buildings were tall and beautiful, and the top of the buildings were all domed and round.
Once they stepped through the city gates, the most eye-catching thing was probably the towering Holy Light Chapel in the center of the city. Seriously speaking, it was also a strange religious building, and almost every Zambez city would have a basic building.
The Holy Light Chapel was actually the main activity place of the Holy Knights. They completed their daily training, knight etiquette, and integration with the Holy Light there. However, the most important function of the Holy Light Chapel was as a burial ground for the Holy Knights who died in battle.
Below the Holy Light Chapel, there was a huge tomb specifically used to store the remains of the Holy Knights. At a fixed time every week, the Holy Light Chapel would open its doors and allow its believers to enter to pray and praise the Holy Light, as well as the warriors who sacrificed themselves for the holy cause of the empire.
As a member of the Zambez Empire, the Holy Knights trained by the Holy Light Chapel often became an important pillar of strength to maintain security and stability in various places. The regular army of the empire was only the basic strength of the secular rule, and the Holy Knights who worshiped the Holy Light and stuck to their beliefs were the real high-end combat power in the Envic Plane.
So when Grim entered Hakanth City, the first task he assigned to Wind Spirit was to monitor the movements of the Holy Knights in the city.
It had to be said that the Holy Knights were a group of terrifying professionals who had gone through strict training and had strong discipline and combat ability.
As soon as the two wizards entered the city, the Church of Holy Light in the distance opened its door with a loud rumble, and a group of Holy Knights in exquisite armor rushed out. They rode on tall and sturdy warhorses and galloped toward the scene of the accident as fast as lightning, stepping on the rolling thunder.
The leader of the group was a tall knight. He wore an exquisite silver-white full-body armor, and his helmet covered his entire face. Only a pair of steady, calm, and determined eyes could be seen through the cross-shaped visor. The warhorse he was riding on was especially tall and sturdy. As it galloped, the faint sound of thunder and tiger roars could be heard.
Naturally, Grimm did not look at his enemies' physiques and auras. Instead, he scanned the energy within their bodies. Holy Knights would not distort or conceal their energy aura like Wizards, so the data obtained through this method was often the most direct and reliable.
With the help of the Eye of the Wind Spirit, Grimm chanted a few incantations, and the Paladins that were charging towards him turned into red dots of light in his eyes.
There were 304 people in total.
Most of the dots were light red, and based on the intensity of their energy, they should be Grade-1. There were about 282 of them. Other than that, there were 21 dark red dots, which meant that they were Grade-2 Silver Paladins. The leader of the group was a silver-armored Paladin, and his body emitted a bright red light that gave people a terrifying feeling.
Grimm squinted his eyes, and a fierce look appeared on his face.
Grade-3 … I've finally encountered a Grade-3 from the Envic Plane!
Just like how the regular army looked down on the inferior forces, Grimm, who was born in the Sorcerer World, also looked down on the low-magic planes of the same rank.
Holy Knights? In the end, they were just a group of warriors who trained in both magic and martial arts!
In terms of physical strength, they were no match for Anatomy Refinery Wizards. In terms of elemental magic, they were no match for Elemental Wizards. They only relied on the strange Holy Light to force their way into the ranks of high-order Wizards. How could they be compared to an orthodox Wizard like Grimm?
Grimm didn't try to dodge and charged towards the group of Holy Knights with extreme confidence and disdain.
As for Katy, who had been chasing after him, she had mysteriously disappeared after entering Hakans City.
Due to the dense life aura in the city and the complicated terrain, there were too many places to hide, so Grimm did not have the ability to continue chasing after her.
Thunder rumbled, and the sound of hooves thundered.
The originally peaceful street was now filled with frightened people, running in all directions and hiding in houses and shops. When Grimm and the elemental equipment set foot on the wide street that led straight to the Church of Light in Hakans City, the Paladin Order appeared at the other end of the street with lightning speed.
"In the name of the Holy Light … Knights, charge!"
"Charge!"
A series of earth-shattering roars and roars filled the air. The Holy Knights, who had adjusted their formation, galloped on their horses while raising their double-edged greatswords high up in the air. They chanted a short holy prayer.
"Valiant!"
"Tenacious!"
"Glorious!"
"Bless!"
"… …"
Following a short and loud shout, rays of dazzling divine light began to surge from their bodies. Layer upon layer, layer upon layer, they were embedded and fused with each other, causing every single one of them to be mighty and sacred to the point that others didn't dare to look at them directly.
Grimm could not help but frown as he watched this scene.
If it was just an illusory effect, Grimm would not have to frown. With the help of the A.I. Chip's scanning ability, he could sense a powerful magical energy within the holy light.
Valiant buffed himself with Spirit Defense …
Tenacious buffed himself with Intermediate Magic Resistance …
Glorious buffed the recipient's Strength, Vitality, Agility, and Spirit …
Protection also prevented the Holy Knights from being affected by Mortal Strike …
… …
Previously, Grim didn't pay much attention to those extremely ordinary LV 1 black iron knights. But now, under the effects of the holy light, their strength had skyrocketed to a point where even Grimm could not help but sigh.
As for the Tier 2 Silver Knights, they had grown to a point where they could even pose a threat to Grimm.
However, this was not the end of it!
Apart from the individual holy buffs, the Holy Knights also had a frightening AOE buff!
The leading Grade 3 Golden Paladin roared and raised the greatsword in his hand. A milky white holy aura appeared under his body and immediately covered all the Paladins with a brilliant layer of holy light.
Holy Protection!
A Tier 3 Holy Knight skill!
It gave all the Holy Knights within 60 meters of the holy halo a Holy Light Shield with a defense of 400 degrees.
Apart from that, the Grade 3 Golden Knight chanted the Holy Orison aloud as he charged forward. Almost all of the combat skills he used were AoE.
Holy Strike … This increased Vitality and Critical Strike!
Holy Shock … This increased Strength and Physical Damage!
Holy Dawn … This reduced elemental damage!
… …
Honestly speaking, the hundreds of Holy Knights buffed themselves and their teammates with all sorts of Holy Protection as they charged forward. The dazzling light that soared into the sky was enough to blind their enemies.
In Grimm's eyes, the Holy Knights were just a bunch of weak lambs when they charged forward. However, when they reached the middle of the street, they had already turned into a group of ferocious tigers armed to the teeth.
Grimm's expression finally changed!
At this moment, the Tier 3 Gold Knight's berserk aura had far surpassed his own.
Name: Unknown
Gender: Male
Profession: Gold Knight (Tier 3)
Base Attributes: Strength 34
Agility 16
Vitality 35
Spirit 28
Seeing the A.I. Chip's feedback, Grimm immediately felt a headache coming on.
After receiving so many Divine buffs, the Tier 3 Swordsman's Basic Attributes had actually exceeded 30 points in two of his Basic Attributes. The shock Grim felt was indescribable.
One had to know that even Grimm, an orthodox Elemental Sorcerer from a higher plane, only had one attribute that exceeded 30 points. This was after he transformed into a Balrog. Otherwise, the difference between him and the Tier 3 Gold Knight would be even greater.
Damn it, I can't fight this guy head on!
As soon as this thought appeared in Grimm's mind, he suddenly slowed down a little. The Elemental Magic Equipment that was advancing beside him roared and charged forward. Terrifying magical energy gushed out from the slits of its huge metal body.
As the two sides approached each other, the Elemental Magic Equipment roared and suddenly charged forward under the impetus of the powerful magical energy. The Elemental Magic Equipment's iron fist that was wrapped in dazzling red light smashed towards the Gold Knight.
The Gold Knight also roared. His entire body was wrapped in a holy halo that was so dense that it could not be looked at directly. He raised his greatsword high up on his horse and fiercely slashed at the Elemental Magic Equipment's fist.
* Boom … *
An earth-shattering explosion sounded. A ring-shaped energy shockwave spread from the point where the fist and sword collided. In an instant, the entire street and all the creatures nearby were swept away.
The Elemental Magic Machine's huge body suddenly sank, and its two thick metal legs silently sank into the bluestone floor beneath it. The sound of blood splattering could be heard from the Gold Knight's full mask. Both the Gold Knight and his horse slid backwards rapidly.
