My name is Rob. Duca OSIA, is a level three bronze knight conferred by the Steel Arms Empire. Currently, he works for the old Duke of the southern province of Morondor, Phil. Roosevelt’s subordinate!
Two years ago, he was seconded by the old Duke to his fourth son, Phil. Baron Troth’s flower town as the head knight.
This treatment was considered a better distribution for a commoner knight who did not have any background. Most of his contemporaries had died in the battle against the orcs when they were serving in the army, the few who survived were not as lucky as him and were recommended to the Knight Academy by Shangguan.
After receiving special secret skills training in the Academy, Rob spent three years to become a regular bronze knight. After graduation, he decisively chose to pledge his loyalty to the Roosevelt Force where Shangguan was originally recommended to him, after two years of training, he finally got such a job.
This job might not be a desirable place for many hot-blooded young people who had just joined the army. After all, although being a knight-in-chief for the descendants of the nobles was free, it was difficult for them to rise again.
However, Rob was very satisfied. He had joined the army at the age of 14 and had been in the army for nearly ten years. His hot-bloodedness as a pioneer had long been worn away. Those who had not experienced war would not understand how terrifying orcs were.
The Orcs were the collective name of a foreign race. In fact, there were many classifications, such as the vicious gnolls and the giant ogres. However, to humans, the collective name was a race that evolved from wild beasts.
In the stories of many bards, there were stories of warriors defeating the leader of a certain tribe of orcs. However, most of them were made up. The physique of humans was naturally inferior to that of the orcs, even for a bronze-level rank 3 knight like him who had undergone secret training, it was very difficult for him to defeat an ogre head-on.
It was difficult for an ordinary soldier to face a goblin who was called a scumbag race by the orcs. A soldier who could fight a gnoll alone was considered an incredible soldier in the army. However, when facing an ogre who was more than three meters tall.., it usually required a team of twenty fully armed soldiers to have a chance to take him down.
Ever since the founding of the First Emperor, Cavan. Since the founding of Augustus, the Steel Warrior Empire had gone through more than 740 years and still did not have the ability to fight the orcs in the wild, even the fourth generation King Grom, who had the strongest military achievements in the past, was unable to win a head-on battle with the orcs of the large tribes in the wild!
Indeed, the empire had quite a generous reward for land development. Many people could even rely on this to rise to the top and step into the ranks of the nobles with fiefdoms from then on. However, Rob did not want to give it a try, having experienced war, he knew very well how small the probability was. Every year, thousands of knights would graduate from the Knight Academy and go to the north to expand their territory. What was the result?
It was unlikely that a noble would be born in two or three years. Instead of fighting for a tiny hope, it was better to retreat and find a job that could provide for his old age.
He was very satisfied with his current job. Flower town was a high-quality town in the inner circle of the force in the Majestic City of Molundo. The town was not big, but it had a high profit with its unique perfume made of purple tulip flowers, although the Lord was a little stupid and almost did not know how to manage it, fortunately, the town was full of experienced flower farmers who knew how to best cultivate the most profitable projects in the town, the town’s perfume workshop and merchants were ready-made, so the Duke’s silly son only needed to sit and collect money!
The tax was high, so the lord naturally treated his subordinates well. At least he knew not to criticize his subordinates, which made rob very satisfied.
His current savings were enough to buy a small house in a big city, but he didn’t want to do that. The environment here was good, so he actually planned to settle down here and marry a wife who had studied and was a little educated, he would buy a small manor, and when he was old and could not carry a sword, he would quit his job and live the life of a small landlord.
Thinking about it, it was about time for him to live this life…
So recently, he had been continuously pursuing Miss Annie, who was in charge of imparting knowledge in the local church!
The other party’s family was in the spice business, and their family was relatively well-off. Therefore, they had read some books when they were young, and were invited by the old nuns of the church to teach the children in the small town.
Girls who had read books naturally had higher standards than girls from other families. They were not very satisfied with the blacksmiths, gardeners, or merchants that their parents knew, so they stayed single until they were nineteen years old.
The moment Rob learned about her information, he knew that his wife had already been booked. This girl was his ideal model. As for whether he could woo her, Rob was not worried. A businesswoman.., a knight could be said to be the highest threshold she could marry!
Not to mention a knight like him…
Rob was not very handsome, but he could be considered valiant. His two-meter-tall tall and sturdy figure was in line with many young ladies’fantasies of a hero Knight.
It was a bright and beautiful afternoon. He successfully invited her to have afternoon tea. Before he came, he had prepared for a long time. He deliberately found an excellent tailor and tailor-made a fitted shirt for himself, he perfectly displayed the advantage of his burly and smooth figure.
Sure enough, during the afternoon’s conversation, Anne would steal a glance at his strong chest muscles from time to time. Rob smiled slightly, feeling more and more confident that he could take Anne Down.
Just when he was about to invite Anne to visit his newly bought Small Manor, a loud wolf howl suddenly interrupted this beautiful afternoon!
Rob instantly revealed an incredulous expression. He was very clear that there were no wolves in this place, and this was not an ordinary Wolf Howl.
Having been in the army for nearly ten years, he was very familiar with this sound. This was the howl of the gnolls when they launched an attack on the horn!
Following that, a dense group of gnolls attacked the small town and verified his guess. Beside him, Miss Annie was even more frightened to the point of her face turning pale!
However, Rob still did not react.
How could this be?
This was the inner ring of Molendor!
The so-called inner ring town referred to the towns within the Majestic City of molendor that were located in the direction of the Empire. This was on a completely different level from those towns that were developed outside without safety guarantees in order to increase agriculture. Due to the terrain.., mo Lun duo was stuck at the pass of the Doran mountain range. It was impossible for the inner ring town to be threatened by the orcs.
There were only two possibilities for these gnolls to come in. One was that they had long wings, and the other was… “… !”! Molun duo had fallen!
The moment this thought popped up in his mind, Rob was shocked. Something Big had happened! !
Thinking of this, he did not dare to delay any longer. He rushed towards the Lord’s manor. Even Miss Annie, who was beside him, was left behind!
How could a weak woman like Annie be able to keep up with the pace of a level 3 bronze knight? Very soon, she was left behind. She could only sit on the ground and cry in despair. In the end, she was dragged away by a Gnoll who was passing by!
Rob did not have the time to pay attention to her. In his heart, there was always a chance to find a woman again. However, if the noble that he was responsible for protecting were to make a mistake, his life would really be over.
He rushed all the way to the manor. The manor had almost fallen. He clearly saw his lord’s head chopped off and hung in the crotch of a wolf knight.
This situation made him feel a chill in his heart. Fortunately, he sneaked into the basement of the manor and found the woman and three children hidden by the Lord.
This made him slightly comforted. As long as he could protect the Lord’s bloodline and get out, he might be able to make up for it. When the time came, he would say that the Lord asked him to protect his family and escape, yet, he chose to protect his own territory and bravely face the brutal orcs!
This statement not only reflected the lord’s bravery and made the Duke’s grandfather proud, but also reduced his responsibility to the greatest extent.
After making up his mind, he protected these women and fought his way out of the small path, arriving at the thorny forest on the southern mountain!
As for why he chose to escape here, there was a reason. The other party had Wolf Knights from a large tribe. Even if he escaped alone, it was impossible for him to escape without a horse, not to mention bringing so many burdens, it was definitely impossible to take the empire’s main road.
On the contrary, the thorny forest’s terrain was complex, and it was a godforsaken area. The entire mountain forest had been reborn with thorny vines, and basically no one had set foot here. Taking this road would allow him to avoid the pursuit to the greatest extent.
These orcs would definitely have a large army burning, killing, and plundering along the empire’s main road. They probably wouldn’t split up to hunt him down just for a few people. Even if there were, they should be small fries, and he might be able to deal with them.
He thought that he would come out after hiding in the bramble forest for a few days with the Liege’s wife and the others. After the empire’s main force chased these orcs away, he would be able to protect the Liege’s bloodline and perhaps retain his knighthood.
However, he did not expect to meet an elite species in such a place!
The bronze battle Qi that he was so proud of could not even last a single round in the other party’s hands. Such terrifying individual battle strength made him realize that this was probably not an ordinary elite species. It might even be a royal descendant of some gold tribes!
At this moment, the women and children who were being held captive by Rob in the cage were comforting the lord while looking around curiously. There were actually so many elite species along the way?
What kind of tribe was this? Frost Wolf Clan? Black Rock clan? Or was it the fire tribe clan that was rumored to be rich in Sword Saints in the Beast Clan?
Weren’t these large tribes all in the north? Why would they suddenly appear in Molundo?
Rob felt that this matter was not simple, and he was afraid… … ! It was a premeditated large-scale operation!
