The rain was slowly falling. In the outside world, the heavy rain was still spreading, and was now coming to an end.
"The rain's about to stop!"
Looking at the sky outside, the warriors on guard in the camp raised their heads and shouted.
Soon, after the rain gradually stopped, a group of cavalrymen walked out of the camp and quickly galloped in a certain direction.
Among them, Adil rode a tall white horse, silently following beside Knight Prahl. He didn't say anything, just silently moving forward.
The group was all warriors on horseback, and they were hurrying at full speed, marching very quickly. Soon, a village appeared in the distance.
It was a village built next to a forest. It didn't look very large, and at the moment, thick smoke was slowly rising from the village, as if indicating something.
"Be careful! Prepare for battle! "
Seeing the thick smoke rising up ahead, Prahl's expression turned cold, and he pulled out the sword hanging on his horse as he shouted.
For a moment, the sound of swords being unsheathed rang out, but was buried in the sound of hooves.
They quickly rushed out of the village, and saw the scene inside.
Inside the village, a pile of wreckage had fallen to the ground, and there were faint flashes of fire.
Outside the wreckage, a group of bandits wearing all kinds of clothes were wreaking havoc, and hadn't had time to retreat.
On the surface, it was obvious that they were a motley crew. When they saw the army gradually advancing in the distance, their first reaction was not to prepare to resist, but to immediately flee.
They quickly ran into the forest not far away, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in this area.
… …
The battle quickly ended.
In the center of the village, Adil walked into one of the rooms.
In the room, Prahl stood in Silence in front of a wooden table, looking at a map spread out in front of him, thinking carefully.
"Lord Prahl, I've more or less figured it out."
Adil looked at the tall knight in front of him, and said slowly, "This village was attacked this morning. According to the survivors, some wandering orcs came and wiped out all the warriors stationed in the village, and then the bandits followed to loot."
Hearing Adil's report, Prahl subconsciously frowned, "Is it a coincidence?"
"That should be the case," a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Standing beside Pilar, a middle-aged warrior said, "According to the information from the surroundings, that group of wandering orcs should have just come from Baron Afra's territory. Calculating the time and distance, it should almost match up."
"Let's think of a way to find where the orcs are stationed." Prar rubbed his forehead, looking a little helpless. "There have been more and more bandits and orcs sneaking in from the border recently. There's a shortage of warriors everywhere. We need to take care of this place as soon as possible and go to the next place."
At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask, "Is there any news from the frontlines, Sir Cadilla?"
"Yes." The middle-aged warrior nodded. "The battle at the frontlines is about to end. According to the people sent by Lord Acadilla, he will be able to bring people back in a month at most."
"That's good." Prahl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes. "With his Black Knights, we won't have to hold on so hard."
The Black Knights were one of the strongest armies in Count Poria's territory. Led by Cadilla, who was rumored to be the strongest knight in the north, they were in charge of external campaigns.
Among Count Poria's subordinates, only the personal guards, who were stationed in the castle all year round and led by Count Poria himself, could rival this army.
However, the personal guards were required to guard the castle all year round, and only Count Poria could mobilize them personally. So in reality, the Black Knights were one of the main forces in the territory. In this battle, they had been mobilized to the frontlines, leading the noble allied forces in battle against the orc allied forces.
As the commander of the castle's personal guards, Prahl could actually only mobilize a small number of the elites. There was no way he could compare to the Black Knights.
Time passed quickly.
At night, Adil sat in Silence in an empty space, looking at his stats in Silence.
Name: Adil Farcus. Strength: 4.2 (5.5). Agility: 4.1 (5.4). Physique: 4.2 (5.7).
After a few days, under the constant effect of the crystal core, Adil's physique had greatly improved once again. Nourished by that unknown power, his body's injuries were also rapidly recovering.
According to Adil's own estimates, his injuries would be completely healed in about four or five days.
At this thought, he stretched out his left hand and opened his tightly clenched palm, revealing a black crystal core within.
The black crystal core was now almost completely used up. After a few days of continuous absorption, it was now only the size of a grain of rice.
"It's almost used up."
Looking at the grain-sized crystal core in his hand, Adil sighed softly.
Compared to the one he had used before, the benefits this crystal core brought him were obviously much smaller.
Admittedly, this was because the energy it contained was much less, but it was also because Adil's current physique had been raised to another level. If he wanted to improve further, he would need to expend more energy.
Of course, the injuries on his body were definitely one of the reasons. If not for the fact that he had to quickly heal the aftereffects of the Seed of Life, Adil could have improved much more.
Standing in place and thinking, Adil took out another black crystal core from his waist and held it tightly in his left hand.
The familiar warmth increased in an instant and continued to flow into his body.
Adil stood up and picked up the sword beside him. He stood in place and trained for a while, feeling the changes in his body.
During this time, he could clearly feel the changes in his body. There seemed to be a new power in his body that was beginning to grow and was affecting his body.
According to the A.I. Chip's examination, there were some new delicate organs slowly growing in his body. The life energy in his body stimulated the increase of his vitality, and he was about to enter a new period of transformation.
This was the adaptation process when a Knight was about to break through to a Grand Knight. The body was slowly adjusting and undergoing a change in the nature of life.
"A.I. Chip! Check the data of my body and analyse the time needed for the adaptation period. "
After training, Adil stood in place and ordered the A.I. Chip in his mind.
In an instant, the A.I. Chip in his mind responded.
Streams of data flashed in front of his eyes, flowing rapidly and finally forming a three-dimensional map in front of him. On it were all the organs in his body, as well as detailed data analysis.
