Even these knights, who had received high-intensity combat training since they were young and stood at the peak of human strength, were equipped with the sturdiest armor and the sharpest longsword, could not rely on their individual strength to defeat a powerful werewolf alone.
Even if this mysterious Lord was stronger than them, it was impossible for him to kill dozens of werewolves by himself. This was simply not something a human could do.
So they concluded that this matter was a hoax. Those piles of werewolf corpses were not killed by a single person.
It was very likely that the invading werewolves and the original Lord's troops perished together, and in the end, this young man in front of them took advantage of the situation and wantonly proclaimed that he killed all the werewolves, successfully deceiving these foolish civilians and seizing this territory.
Unfortunately, their Count Valen, like the other nobles in the vicinity, was frightened by this shocking rumor. In addition, the pile of werewolf corpses that were piled up like a small hill, and the number of werewolf corpses was too great a deterrent, so he didn't dare to act rashly for a long time.
Until not long ago, Count Valen received a letter from this mysterious Lord.
And so, they came here this time.
For Count Valen, this was a rare opportunity to find out more about Chen Mo.
Before they set off, Count Valen personally explained the purpose of this trip to them. In addition to completing the task mentioned in the letter, they also wanted to take the opportunity to find out the origin of this mysterious Lord, and how strong he was.
If he was really as strong as the rumors said, they must rope him in. Even if they couldn't use him, they must not become enemies.
At this time, this legendary powerful Lord was in front of them. Just from appearance alone, although he was tall and strong, he was not much different from them, and even slightly weaker than many of them who were very strong.
It was hard for them to believe that he was able to kill over fifty werewolves without a warhorse and with only a sword on his own.
In their hearts, the idea that Chen Mo was a liar became even stronger.
Originally, as a Knight, in front of a Lord, they should dismount and salute. This was the most basic etiquette.
Even if this Lord was not the master they were loyal to, his status was much higher than theirs. This was the difference in status.
But these Knight in front of Chen Mo who was walking on foot, Enron was sitting on a horse and looking down at Chen Mo. This was very unreasonable behavior, and could even be said to be a provocation.
Looking at the group of arrogant Knight sitting proudly on the horse, Chen Mo's expression was indifferent, without any displeasure. Instead, he reached into his arms and took out something, and directly threw it at the leading Knight.
Seeing Chen Mo's action, the knight nimbly stretched out his hand and caught the object Chen Mo threw at him. However, he felt a weight on his wrist and almost missed it. Looking down, he saw that it was a thick and heavy gold brick that weighed about ten kilograms.
"Leave my warhorse behind and you can go."
Chen Mo's indifferent and dignified voice was heard.
It turned out that in the letter Chen Mo sent to Earl Warren, he offered to buy a hundred warhorses at a high price. At this time, the deal had been reached, and these Knight escorting the warhorses had completed their mission and could return to report.
But after receiving the gold, the opposite Knight didn't have the slightest intention of leaving. Instead, he revealed a greedy look and looked at Chen Mo mockingly.
The leading Knight saw that Chen Mo, the Lord, didn't have any reaction to their rudeness, and instead gave them the gold honestly. This made him even more certain that Chen Mo had been bluffing all along, and wasn't as strong as the rumors said.
As for throwing the ten kilograms of gold more than ten meters away, these powerful Knights could basically do it. This also showed that Chen Mo's strength was actually about the same as theirs.
When Earl Warren sent them here, he told them to find a way to test Chen Mo's strength. If they found out that he wasn't as strong as the rumors said, and that all this was just a scam, then they were to directly kill this bastard who dared to deceive him!
It was also because of this that Earl Warren sent nearly half of his Knight and squires to escort the warhorses to Chen Mo's territory to carry out this transaction.
At this time, these Knight had already judged Chen Mo's background. Seeing that Chen Mo took out so much gold so easily, their desire for money made them somewhat impatient.
Under the lead of the leading Knight, the Knight regiment unsheathed the longswords at their waists and charged towards Chen Mo in formation.
Ferocious smiles bloomed on their faces. Even if it was a werewolf, facing such a large cavalry charge, he would only be slaughtered, not to mention this human who didn't even wear armor and was standing in front of them defenseless.
Did he really think that the Earl completely believed in the lies he made up and didn't dare to attack him?
How naive!
Seeing this, Andrew and the others behind Chen Mo were shocked and hurriedly unsheathed their longswords to block in front of Chen Mo.
At this time, their position was between the group of Knight and the wall. There was no place to hide at all. Since there was no way to retreat, then they could only face it head-on. Even if they were to die, they had to kill a few of them!
Andrew and the others blocked in front of Chen Mo with a dignified expression but incomparably resolute. Chen Mo saved them from the werewolves and taught them profound swordsmanship. They absolutely couldn't abandon Chen Mo and run away.
So what if they died? At most, they would return this life to the Lord.
The soldiers of the territory's guards were the same. The long training did not go to waste. Facing a large group of Knight charging towards them, the soldiers did not panic at all. Instead, they maintained a neat formation and fearlessly charged forward with their weapons in hand. They wanted to stop the cavalry charge before Chen Mo was attacked.
Chen Mo eliminated the threat of the werewolves for them, reduced their taxes, and allowed their families to live a stable life. This was already the greatest kindness to them, who were living a difficult life under the exploitation of the Lord.
Even if it was for their families to continue living a stable life, they were willing to risk their lives to protect the Lord!
Chen Mo looked at the group of Knight under Earl Warren who suddenly launched an attack with their longswords and spears raised high. Instead of being surprised, he revealed an expression of 'as expected'.
He had already expected that these nobles would not be frightened by a pile of werewolf corpses for a long time. As time passed, they would definitely have other thoughts. Instead of passively waiting for them to make the first move, he might as well take the initiative to test them.
That was the reason why they were purchasing warhorses from the Highlord, Earl Warren.
