Over a hundred well-equipped and powerful knights had committed suicide by smashing their heads against the door of his castle. The entire army had been annihilated. This was really a good story.
He would definitely be in the limelight in the circle of nobles. This would be even more interesting than the last time when he repelled the werewolf invasion.
Just as Count Warren was thinking about how to reorganize this battle to make himself more impressive, the black-robed Knight leading the Knight Regiment below finally charged through the gate.
A dull crash sounded, and the smile on Count Warren's face couldn't help but deepen.
He could totally imagine the disbelief on the face of this Knight when he crashed into the gate. Unfortunately, the gate was located in the deep gate directly below the city wall, several meters away from the outside of the wall. Standing on the wall, he couldn't see the scene below, which made Count Warren feel a little regretful.
As the black-robed Knight in the lead charged into the gate, the Knight behind him followed closely behind. Soon, Count Warren's expression stiffened.
Nearly half of the hundreds of heavily-armored Knights had already charged into the gate, and the following Knights were still charging in. But the gate below was only a few meters deep, and even if all the Knights at the front were to squeeze together, it was impossible to accommodate dozens of heavily-armored Knights.
Just as Count Warren's face was filled with disbelief, fierce battle cries suddenly came from the gate below him.
Count Warren couldn't see what was happening at the gate, but the Knight behind Chen Mo could see it clearly.
Just as he was about to hit the city gate, Chen Mo quickly pulled out the long sword at his waist. With lightning speed, he slashed at the city gate in front of him.
The silver sword light flashed through the middle of the city gate like a bolt of lightning. Then, Chen Mo's warhorse crashed heavily into the thick city gate.
There wasn't the splattering of blood and broken bones that Count Warren had imagined. This black warhorse, which was much taller and more robust than the other warhorses, let out a loud neigh. It didn't slow down at all as it smashed open the tightly shut door.
The two halves of the heavy door bolt were sent flying and landed in front of the guards behind the door. This sudden turn of events caused them to be unable to react for a moment. Their sturdy castle gate was broken through just like that?
The Knight behind Chen Mo rushed into the castle, and before the soldiers in front of them could counterattack, they were completely overwhelmed by the charging Knight regiment.
After a short period of shouting and screaming, the Knight regiment all passed through the gate and rushed into the castle without slowing down, leaving behind a mess of messy corpses that were almost trampled into meat paste by the hooves of the horses.
Count Warren quickly turned around and rushed in the direction of the inner wall. Looking at the heavily-armored Knight regiment rushing in from below, Count Warren was in disbelief.
He really couldn't imagine how they broke through the gate. Looking at the speed they rushed in, it seemed that they weren't stopped by the gate at all. Could it be that someone betrayed him, and the gate wasn't closed at all?
Count Warren turned to look at the guard captain beside him with a stern face, but found that he was looking at the Knight regiment below with the same shocked expression, as if he didn't know in advance.
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Count Warren looked at the Knight regiment that began to turn around and rush towards the city wall with a grave and puzzled expression. What are these Knights trying to do?
Not only are they using cavalry to attack the city, they also want to attack the city wall?
Under Earl Warren's incredulous gaze, over a hundred knights braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the bottom of the inner wall. They dismounted from their warhorses, raised their shining knight swords, and rushed up the stairs to the top of the wall.
Count Warren was immediately overjoyed. These stupid Knight, are their brains stuck in the city wall?
On their warhorses, they can rely on the Knight's armor to block the attacks of swords, spears, and arrows, and ride their warhorses to kill to their heart's content.
But once a Knight dismounted from his warhorse, the originally almost invincible armor would become a heavy and clumsy burden. It could be said that he would stagger on the ground and become the best target. The infantrymen could easily pierce through the gaps of the armor and injure or even kill the Knight.
Therefore, most Knights wouldn't wear a full set of heavy armor when fighting on foot, and would only wear a breastplate.
Seeing that the powerful Knight regiment that broke through the gate and rushed in was actually stupid enough to dismount from their warhorses and attack the city wall from below, Count Warren's mood could be said to have taken a turn for the better. His originally despairing heart had hope of winning again.
The archers on the city walls didn't need anyone to command them. They continued to rain arrows down on the heavily-armored knights. Although the arrows were all blocked by the knights' armor and shields, the archers still persevered and continued to shoot.
The soldiers with spears quickly gathered at the stairs to the top of the city wall and tightly guarded it, waiting for the arrival of the heavily-armored Knight.
But no one noticed that although these heavily-armored Knight's steps were slow, they weren't stiff or clumsy at all. Instead, they were very agile.
It wasn't until the two sides actually came into contact that Count Warren realized that he was wrong.
After these Knight left their warhorses, their fighting strength didn't decrease at all. Instead, they were abnormally agile, and the attacks of their longswords were incomparably sharp.
The soldiers at the front had their spears cut off one after another, and were immediately beheaded by the Knight who rushed up. The originally confident defense was easily torn apart by these ridiculously powerful Knights.
What followed was a one-sided massacre. Even the Knight under Count Warren's command wasn't a match for these silver-armored Knights at all. Their longswords directly broke the edge of their armor, but didn't cause any damage to the Knight inside.
But the longswords in the hands of these Knights could pierce through the heavy armor on their bodies and kill them.
The fierce battle soon ended. After Count Warren was beheaded by Chen Mo, the remaining Knight and soldiers gave up resistance and chose to surrender.
The lord they were loyal to was already dead, so there was no need to continue fighting and die in vain.
The Highlord Count Warren was killed, and his vast territory was completely occupied by Chen Mo. With the hundred-man heavily-armored Knight regiment in his hands, Chen Mo became the new ruler of this area.
Without giving the vassal nobles around Count Warren any time to react, Chen Mo rested in the Blackstone Castle for a while before launching an attack on the surrounding territories.
Under the leadership of Chen Mo, the heavily-armored Knight regiment attacked continuously. In half a month's time, they completely recovered the territory within a radius of tens of kilometers. Chen Mo officially became the master of this over two thousand square kilometers of land, as well as tens of thousands of people.
Chen Mo's expansion didn't stop there. After quickly integrating this large territory, Chen Mo immediately launched a new campaign.
A year later, Chen Mo had become the most powerful lord within a radius of several hundred kilometers, ruling over a vast and boundless territory. He also had an invincible heavily-armored Knight regiment in his hands.
With the expansion of his territory, Chen Mo gradually shifted the focus of the battle to eliminating the werewolves. The Knight regiment was used more to protect the territory's security.
The original hundred-man Knight regiment had expanded to over five hundred, but most of them weren't in the territory.
In the past year, Chen Mo had established a caravan. Soap, glass, mirrors, and many other luxuries were sold to more than half of Europe under the protection of a powerful knight group. This earned him a large amount of gold coins, which supported his military construction and the development of his territory. Furthermore, he continued to expand his territory to other places.
Chen Mo, who carried tons of gold in the Space, didn't lack money. The caravan was actually an intelligence organization he formed.
They set up shops in various major cities, shuttling between territories to collect information for him.
A familiar name finally appeared in Chen Mo's sight.
