Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Roar"

An angry roar shattered the tranquility of the winter forest, and the strong sound wave shook the ice slag on the surrounding treetops and fell down.

"Bear Crossbow Squad, withdraw!"

"Iron spearmen, get ready!"

Following a burst of brief orders, several stout men in leather armor quickly dragged away a large crossbow nearly two meters away. Then several burly men in strong outfits stepped forward with two-meter guns.

A four-meter-long giant bear chased out from the hole. A big and thick crossbow bolt was inserted into the giant bear's back. Blood flowed continuously from the wound, dyeing half of the bear's body red.

"Don't poke from the front, go around to the side!"

The giant bear covered in blood rushed out of the cave, it was so angry that it just wanted to tear the human in front of it to pieces.

It's a pity that this group of people are all skilled veterans. The iron gunmen walked around the sides and behind the giant bear, trying their best to avoid confronting the giant bear head-on. While dodging, some people found opportunities to inflict a few more wounds on the giant bear.

"Don't love to fight, go around with it!"

The commander is very clear that the giant bear looks extremely fierce now, but it has been hit by a special bear hunting crossbow, and the crossbow bolts are full of blood. Now as long as it is induced to use force indiscriminately, the bear will lose too much blood in a short while. With the ability to resist, it is not a wise choice to fight with him now.

"Little Peel! Dangerous."

It's a pity that in this forest, hunters and hunters are always changing.

A young gunslinger stabbed his spear in and didn't have time to back off. The giant bear slapped the gun barrel with a palm, and the tough hemlock wooden gun barrel couldn't bear the huge force and instantly broke into two pieces.

The young Iron Gunner also fell to the ground under this force.

The giant bear turned its head and jumped at the young man who fell to the ground amidst the exclamation of the crowd.

Several Iron Spearmen around rushed forward to try to rescue him, but the giant bear decided to kill the young soldier regardless of the number of holes in his body.

The young soldier named Peel crawled upside down in the snow for two steps in an attempt to avoid it, but the giant bear had already pounced in front of him.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Peel also became ruthless, picked up the half of the gun head that was broken on the ground, and headed towards the giant bear, preparing to die with dignity.

The huge paw raised by the giant bear was already in front of him, and Pierre raised the half of the gun barrel in his hand to block it in vain.

Facing the fear of death, Peel closed his eyes unconsciously.

However, a few seconds passed, and death did not come, instead, there was a burst of cheers from around.

"Long live Master Li Cha!"

Peel opened his eyes slightly amid the cheers, and a figure in a white cloth mask appeared beside him.

A sharp knight sword has been pierced straight into the bear's brain from the eye socket.

"Thank you, thank you, Master Li Cha."

Li Cha glanced at the soldier in front of him and nodded. Turning his head, kicking on the giant bear's body, he pulled out the sword violently.

"boom"

The bear carcass fell to the ground, and the heavy bear made a mark on the snow.

Li Cha casually wiped off the blood on the sword, and retracted the long sword to his waist.

"Bring up the bear, today's harvest is good, go back early."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the horse not far away.

"Okay", several soldiers moved in response to the sound, and they worked together to lift the bear corpse to the wooden frame that had been prepared and began to keep up with Li Cha's pace.

This kind of forest giant bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely powerful. Even an elite soldier in heavy armor will be flattened by a palm. Ordinary arrows can't penetrate its thick fur. Hunters can only go around when they encounter it. If they are unlucky, they will lose their lives.

Only the bear hunting team led by Richard, with the special bear hunting crossbow, has the chance to cause greater damage to it.

…………

"Peel, this month's salary will be confiscated, and I will receive ten lashes when I return to camp."

"Yes." Peel narrowly escaped death, and just recovered. Under the rule of Master Li Cha, the rules are strict and the rewards and punishments are clear. Just now he made a serious mistake and almost lost his life, but he was saved by Master Li Cha, so naturally he dare not complain.

...

The iron wood forest is completely filled with snow in winter, a small team is marching in an orderly manner in the forest, Li Cha is walking in the middle of the team on horseback, and the mountain beasts like a team of more than 20 people have to avoid it all the way. There is no danger either.

However, the entire team still strictly enforced the marching order and maintained a high degree of vigilance. The entire team had no other sounds except the friction of footsteps and armor and clothing.

When it was getting late, a small city appeared in front of them. This was their home, and it was also the fiefdom of Li Cha's family - Ironwood City.

Li Cha walked into the city gate swaggeringly with his team. Several soldiers guarding the gate saluted him respectfully. The people who were entering and leaving consciously moved out of the way to let the bear-catching crossbows dragging and the huge bear corpses on their backs. Several soldiers were able to enter.

"Master Li Cha actually brought someone back after hunting such a big bear, it's amazing."

"That's because you don't come to Ironwood City very often. The last time I met Master Li Cha, the bear carried by the bear hunting team was bigger than this one."

"It's bigger than this? The forest giant bear that even quasi-knights don't want to provoke easily, Master Li Cha can fight back every now and then. I'm afraid Master Li Cha is also a knight."

"I don't know if it's a knight, but it's definitely more than a quasi knight."

"Tsk tsk, we have another knight besides Lord Hunter in Ironwood City."

There was a sense of pride in the speaker's tone, as if he was the knight on the horse.

Sitting on the horse, Li Cha's extraordinary hearing enabled him to fully hear the whispers of two villagers more than ten meters away.

Of course he is not a knight, but he is indeed stronger than most quasi-knights. A knight in this world is not just a profession or a title, but a real power and the cornerstone of the kingdom's rule.

In this world, there is a strict distinction between ordinary soldiers, quasi-knights, and knights. The quality of ordinary soldiers varies from good to bad. There are elite full-time soldiers, and they can also be conscripted farmers and soldiers.

A quasi-knight has undergone rigorous training and uses different breathing methods to continuously strengthen his body. When his physical fitness is three times that of an ordinary adult man, he can be recognized by the lord as a quasi-knight. In the lord's army Become a mini-boss.

The knight has risen to another level, and this breakthrough is promoted from many aspects such as life level and social class.

A quasi-knight can try to break through to a knight after polishing his body to the peak. By sensing the qi between heaven and earth, he can introduce it into his body, withstand the energy of qi with his own tough body, and finally turn it into his own use, forming the unique vindictiveness of a knight.

After being tamed, qi will nourish itself, gradually resolve the dark wounds left by knights when polishing their bodies, and delay aging. In this era when the average human age is 40 years old, knights can usually live to over a hundred years old and maintain their combat effectiveness for a long time.

Even a knight who has just been promoted can defeat a squadron of about 50 people head-on. These 50 people do not refer to the kind of peasants and soldiers who have just put down their hoes and picked up weapons, but well-equipped and well-trained full-time soldiers. professional soldier.

The law of the kingdom also stipulates that all knights can automatically obtain the title of quasi-baron, and they can be granted the title of nobleman for their meritorious service in battle.

Nobles who already own territories can only be inherited by their children who have become knights. If the lord of a certain place dies and there are no knight-level powerhouses among his children, a knight will be selected from among his relatives from near to far according to the inheritance law To inherit, if no knight can be found among his relatives, then the kingdom will legally take back the fief.

It can be said that becoming a knight is half a foot away from the civilian class and stepping into the gate of the nobility.

…………

Li Cha has good talent, and as the eldest son of Viscount Hunter, he has received good knight training since he was a child. His body has already reached the peak of a quasi-knight, and his physical fitness has reached 5 times that of ordinary people. He is only a step away from being a knight.

Perhaps he will be promoted to an official knight in the near future, become a young talent in the kingdom, and then be favored by the only daughter of a certain nobleman, and reach the pinnacle of his life from then on.

Shaking his head, Li Cha stopped his divergent thinking, beat his horse and led his soldiers to the tall castle in the city.
