* Thud!
Thud! * The black horse galloped cheerfully through the wheat fields, water wheels, and mills.
The wind whistled in his ears, and he could smell the fragrance of the vegetation.
'The smell of freedom …'
Wu Ming looked a little dazed, 'No matter which world it is, there is no true transcendence. Life, death, catastrophes, and the collapse of the universe. Without transcending eternity, who would dare to say that they can do as they please? Even the mortals of this world have to pay a lot for a bit of relative freedom … '
After leaving the town of Niyah, they headed north and entered the wasteland. Terrifying beasts and cannibals frequently appeared, and caravans without hundreds of guards could only resign themselves to fate.
Wu Ming chose to go all the way south and entered the Elite District of the Wind Firefly Plains.
'Howling Castle … That's the center of the Earl of Blue Mountain's rule, and the largest city in the Wind Firefly Plains …'
He wanted to try his luck there and gather more information.
Whether it was holy oil or a way to become a knight, he needed it.
'Especially the holy oil …'
Wu Ming touched his nose.
During this time, he had studied the ordinary plants of this world and found out their common patterns. He was quite confident in his herbology.
Although he knew that there had to be a secret in the holy oil, or it would have been cracked by other nobles long ago, he was still confident in his knowledge.
'I'm afraid that it involves oaths, gods, or other mysterious forces …'
Anyone who was involved with this kind of existence would eventually become very troublesome. Even though Wu Ming hoped to be extraordinary, he didn't like to be restrained.
The horse galloped for a long time and left the territory of the baron.
Wu Ming looked at the sky and stopped in the shade of a tree. He opened his bag and took out a loaf of white bread and a waterskin, preparing to eat lunch.
He never treated himself unfairly, whether it was his main body or his avatar.
However, when Wu Ming ate the second piece of bread, a sneer appeared on his face, "Are they here?"
Even when sleeping at night, experienced soldiers could hear the movements on the ground through their weapons. They would be awakened by a cavalry attack!
His physical fitness had already reached the limits of mortals, and he also had a strong sense of perception, so he would only surpass them!
"From the sound of hooves, there should be five horses! The hooves of the horses are heavy, but they are not as heavy as armor. They are five light cavalrymen! "
Wu Ming guessed that the other party was coming at him aggressively, especially since he didn't hesitate to rush towards him. His lips curled into a cold smile. "I didn't wait for you in vain. It's just the right time to settle this!"
A moment later, a cloud of dust appeared on the north side of the road.
Five silhouettes of horses rushed out, and on top of them were fully armed soldiers.
"Kill William!"
Arthur gritted his teeth. "No one will find out if we disguise ourselves as ordinary bandits. Even if they suspect us, no one will pursue the matter!"
"No problem, but don't forget what you promised after this!"
One of the cavalrymen sneered.
The soldiers of this era would often take on the roles of robbers and bandits. Naturally, they did not have much of a burden when it came to ambushing and killing people.
Even if that person was a free citizen, he was not a noble!
"Of course!"
Arthur agreed, but his heart was filled with hatred. He was the captain of the town guards and originally had ten subordinates. They were more than enough to act in secret and were relatively loyal.
However, almost all of his guards had died this time, and he had no choice but to borrow the strength of other soldiers.
At this time, the price he had to pay and the energy he had to spend to keep it a secret had increased.
It could be said that this was his greatest misfortune!
Because no trusted subordinates had survived, he could not be sure of Wu Ming's true strength!
"But … even if you are an elite soldier, so what?"
Arthur touched his back, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"I see him, he's over there!"
A sharp-eyed scout pointed at the forest and shouted. He urged his horse to quickly rush over.
"Kill him!"
Arthur shouted excitedly.
He had already forgotten how things had gone from a slight jealousy to being instigated to wanting to kill William, to the fear of returning to Niyah Town.
Now, he only knew one thing — if he did not see William's head, he would not be able to rest in peace for the rest of his life!
"Even if this was a mistake from the start, I can only let it continue to be a mistake! I will put an end to all of this! "
Arthur gritted his teeth and suddenly held the weapon on his back in his hand.
It was three feet long, and its arms were spread out like a horizontal longbow. There was a wooden handle and an arrow groove in the middle, and a steel arrow shone coldly under the sunlight.
"That is …"
With his amazing eyesight, Wu Ming instantly saw the thing in Arthur's hand. "A crossbow?!"
Without hesitation, he abandoned the black horse and the bag, grabbed the steel sword, and disappeared into the forest.
Five cavalrymen! Wearing leather armor! And bows and arrows!
With this strength, he could still fight them head-on, but with the crossbow, it was a different story!
"The crossbow is a weapon that even a real knight would be afraid of! How could Arthur have this? "
With a gloomy face, Wu Ming quickly moved through the forest. "He must have stolen it from the baron's storage … He is not afraid of being found out and punished. Obviously, he wants to kill me!"
"He runs so fast!"
In an instant, the five cavalrymen rushed to Wu Ming's campsite.
Arthur dismounted and saw the scattered bag, the black horse tied to the side, and the dense forest. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dismount and chase!"
"Wait!"
At this moment, the knight beside him said, "The battlefield of the cavalrymen is on the plains. We should not enter the forest. It is very dangerous there, and there might be traps!"
For all soldiers, it was a wise saying not to enter the forest.
"Traps?"
Arthur laughed and said, "Look … he looks like a bird that escaped from its cage. There is no time for him to set up a trap!"
"Also, there are five of us! And leather armor and arrows! "
He shook the crossbow in his hand. "Why should we be afraid of him?"
This convinced the knight. He hesitated for a moment, and then saw that Wu Ming was about to disappear. He gritted his teeth and chased with the other cavalrymen.
"William, die!"
Arthur ran quickly towards the figure in front of him and suddenly pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
Swoosh!
An arrow light shot out at an incredible speed, instantly disappearing into the shadow of the man.
"No!"
Another cavalryman walked closer and used his sword to pick up a coat. "Trap!"
Pu!
The next moment, the tip of a sword protruded from his neck. He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Idiot! I didn't think you would dare to chase in! "
If it was on the plains, it would be a very difficult challenge for even Wu Ming to deal with these five fully armed cavalrymen.
But now that they had delivered themselves to his doorstep, it would be a pity if he did not kill them.
"William! How dare you kill the Baron's guards! "
Arthur was stunned.
He did not expect William to be so decisive.
But Wu Ming could not be bothered to answer him. Instead, he fiercely charged into the crowd, and with a turn, he drew an elegant silver circle with his fine steel sword.
Arthur only heard two cries of pain, and a strong force surged into his hands. He could not hold on to the crossbow, and it fell to the ground.
Pu pu!
Two flowers of blood appeared, and the other two cavalrymen fell at the same time.
"Knight!"
The expression of the remaining cavalryman became extremely serious. "You have the power of a Knight?"
He could not think of any other person who could kill so many people one-on-one, except for a Knight.
However, this poor cavalryman didn't know that Wu Ming's physical fitness had reached its limit. Although Wu Ming had obtained a transcendent seed, it was only an enhancement in one aspect. In terms of combat power, Wu Ming was not inferior to any of them when he put on his armor.
"You can't kill me!"
Seeing the coldness in Wu Ming's eyes, the cavalryman broke down. "I'm the deputy captain of the guards in Niyah Town, and I also …"
Pu!
The next moment, Wu Ming stepped forward gracefully, like an elegant gentleman inviting a lady to dance. He extended his right hand respectfully and played the music of death.
"You talk too much!"
After this person fell, Wu Ming turned around and looked at Arthur. "Any last words?"
"No! You can't kill me! The town of Niyah will know. The sheriff is my uncle … "
Arthur spoke without thinking.
"Haha … You came out to kill a freedman. Do you think everyone will know? I'm afraid you snuck out? "
Wu Ming looked at Arthur mockingly and exposed his lie. "If that's the case, I'll kill you and destroy your corpses. How many people will know about this?"
"Spare me! Please spare me! I'm willing to apologize to you. Ten! No! Fifty Gold Delons, and I'll even become your servant and slave! "
Seeing Wu Ming walk forward with his sword dripping with blood, Arthur wept bitterly and knelt on the ground in repentance. He no longer had any of his elegant demeanor.
"The ending of all this has been decided from the moment you instigated Gail and Heim!"
Wu Ming did not give Arthur any chance. He struck down his last resistance and beheaded him with one strike.
Half a day later, in the same place, Wu Ming looked at the five military horses in front of him and sighed. "What a pity …"
The value of these military horses was undoubtedly much higher than his black horses. However, they all had Baron Terry's brand emblem on their butts. Daring to sell them would be courting death!
Of course, as long as the profits were large enough, there were many desperadoes in this world. As long as he cut off the skin on their butts, Wu Ming was confident that he could sell them in the black market.
"But … it's too troublesome!"
Wu Ming did not care for these mounts and equipment, but he was reluctant to part with the crossbow. After rubbing off the emblem, he carried it on his back.
Shortly after, he stabbed another five military horses to death with his sword.
The smell of blood quickly spread. Before long, a large number of wild beasts would be attracted and devoured the horses and their owners, leaving only a pile of bones.
