"I wonder which sixth-level knight is really looking forward to it!" Roland's eyes gleamed with excitement.
According to the system's nature, Roland will most likely be given a level six hero that has appeared in history. However, the world of heroes is very complex. There are fake heroes that are not worthy of their reputation, and there are also heroes who can successfully defeat five people at once. It can be said that the gap between the upper and lower limits is also astonishing!
…
At this moment, a knight, approximately thirty years old, wearing seemingly ordinary heavy armor with black and white stripes, suddenly appeared a few miles south of the city of Rapids, riding a plain black horse. But this was all appearance. A closer look at the knight would reveal with astonishment that his armor was woven from fine dragon scales! The black scales were taken from the Black Dragon Clan! The white scales were taken from the White Dragon Clan! And the warhorse he rode was even more extraordinary. The heavy, five-meter-long, adamantine, conical armor-piercing lance resting flat on his saddle and the broad knight's tower shield beside him revealed the horse's terrifying endurance and astonishing load-bearing ability! This was none other than the high-level magical beast known as the Abyssal Warhorse!
In the long wind, the cloak embroidered with the Lagrande dragon emblem sets off his majestic back!
…
"Caslo! Go ask old man Radil to come over, and find some workers to repair this castle!" While Nyx's attention was not on him, Roland quickly moved to Caslo's side, his face full of embarrassment.
Roland hadn't thought much of it before, living here alone. But now that a beautiful woman was about to move in, he was suddenly at a loss. What? You want Nyx to move out? Consider her status. Even if she was only a nominal Grand Duke, she needed to be received with the highest courtesy. The best living environment in all of Rapid City was the two-story castle filled with various supplies (and it was a bit dilapidated).
Looking at Nyx's surprised eyes and the twitching corners of her mouth, Roland felt for the first time that it was a mistake for him not to repair and expand the castle. He had embarrassed himself in front of the Duchess.
"Dragon God, Your Highness Roland, do you usually live here?" Nyx stared at the large tent set up in the open space in the middle of the castle in shock.
"Pa!" Roland immediately covered his face. It was so embarrassing...
"It's okay. I've also been traveling with the army for a long time, sleeping in the open air. Living in a tent is no problem for me." Nix, who had a very high EQ, noticed Roland's embarrassment immediately and quickly spoke to resolve it. In Nix's heart, he actually admired a noble like Roland who was a hard-working man. Roland knew what was most needed at the current stage. Unlike other lords who just built castles to show off their wealth, he used most of his resources for development. This kind of pioneering lord generally would not have a bad future.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you during this period, but I have already asked them to start expanding this place. I was too busy some time ago and didn't pay attention to it. Your arrival just reminded me that my castle needs to be repaired and expanded! Hahaha!" Roland quickly took over the conversation.
"Your Highness Roland! Lord Van Erwei wants to see you for something important! He seems very anxious!" said a guard.
"Let him in." Roland was a little curious about what had happened that made this quasi-elf king so restless that he came to him in such a hurry.
Vanerwey and his people have been temporarily living in the city of Rapids. He is waiting for the right opportunity to summon the grassland elves who are scattered outside and then find a land that can accommodate them to establish a kingdom.
"Roland! A sixth-level warrior is approaching the Rapid City!" Vanerwei's face was extremely serious.
"Hmm?" Roland was stunned. This guy Van Erwei was quite something! It had to be said that the passive skill of the sixth-level hunter, Patrol Perception, was incredibly effective! He could actually sense the approach of a sixth-level professional! However, it was probably related to the new hero's leaking of his aura. The aura of a sixth-level professional who didn't deliberately restrain his aura was terrifying. A sixth-level professional of the same level who was skilled in perception and reconnaissance could easily sense the opponent's presence from kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away. Among them, Dragon Riders were the best. Every Dragon Rider was a mobile light bulb on the battlefield. With the exception of a few Dark and Space Dragon Riders, the dragon might of other Dragon Riders, even after deliberately restraining it, could be easily sensed by their sixth-level counterparts from dozens of miles away.
Therefore, the dragon knights' fighting style is always bold and aggressive. They are always one of the most dazzling presences on the battlefield. Their dragon power with its inherent taunting attribute means that they can only be active in the center of the battlefield instead of hiding in the dark to deliver a fatal blow.
Ahem, I've strayed off topic. However, this also demonstrates that once a professional reaches level six, it's very difficult to be ambushed. Even a level six assassin wouldn't be able to easily kill a level six mage. Their wide variety of detection skills and their own perception abilities allow you to be undetectable from hundreds of meters away.
"I wonder who's coming. I'm really looking forward to it!" Roland climbed up the city wall with Vanwei and looked into the distance, daydreaming. But then Roland saw Vanwei's black face, which looked like he had eaten a fly, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.
By this time, Vanerwei's palms were already sweating. This was his first time facing an opponent of the same level. He just hoped they were also fragile. If they were a heavily armored class... lacking armor-piercing abilities, he'd be in big trouble! Any other elves would have turned and fled at this moment. But facing Roland, who had done them a favor, would the wandering grassland elves just walk away? No, no, no! They would just charge in headfirst! Never underestimate the grassland elves' determination to attack!
"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!" The emergency call horn blew, the city gates quickly closed, and all the soldiers within scaled the walls. Once the war horn, perched in the heart of the city, sounded, it signaled the impending destruction of the city! Furthermore, this horn was a magical item, boosting the defenders' morale by 50%!
"Swish!" Yun Feng flashed back from the plantation in an instant.
"What's going on? Why is the war horn blowing?" Sage Yun Feng's face was as pale as the bottom of a pot. He was doing an alchemy experiment, but who knew that the war horn would suddenly blow.
"There are sixth-level professionals heading towards Jiliu City!" Van Erwei said it before Roland could speak.
"Dragon God!" Yun Feng narrowed his eyes. Although the attack power of the alchemist profession was not strong, Yun Feng was still willing to be loyal to this energetic king, even if it meant blood on the battlefield!
"Uh!" Roland really wanted to tell them not to panic, because they were our own people. But seeing how the entire city was acting like they were facing a major enemy... forget it, let it be a misunderstanding, just treat it as a pre-emptive defense drill.
The civilians outside the city who had not yet entered the city ran north without looking back under the command of the soldiers who also remained outside the city. They would stay on the farm and wait and see what would happen, and by the way, go to Iluber, Losenniel and River Valley for help.
"Damn it! Light and shadow hero! Heavy armor unit!" Vanervi's sharp pupils shrank in pain.
"Hero? Dual elements of light and shadow? Big trouble!" Yun Feng's face changed drastically. This guy who came here can really fight an entire city (country) alone.
"Roland! Lead you and my people out of the north gate. Kaslo and Yunfeng stay behind. We will stop this uninvited guest and buy you some time." Obviously, in Vanerwei's mind, the three of them against one could only fight against this knight.
In Verwei's perception, the knight before him was as unfathomable as a black hole, yet as dazzling as the sun. A hero embodying the opposing attributes of light and shadow was no ordinary rank-six professional could face. Attack with light! Defense with shadow! He was a miniature Holy Evil Hero! (Knights with both holy and evil attributes, capable of both good and evil, can switch between Paladin and Black Knight states at will, or coexist in both states simultaneously. This represents one of the ceilings for advancing to the Knight class.)
"Omsk!" Roland couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see his equipment clearly! The black and white dragon scale plate armor was so recognizable!
Omsk, leader of the Teutonic Knights, a thousand-man standing knight order of the Lagran Empire! Hailed as the Empire's top spear and shield hero! A true all-around attacker and defender, his damage output isn't exceptional among heroes, but his attack range is undoubtedly among the strongest under the Dragon Knight! His attack range encompasses the attack range of most classes, a true hexagonal knight!
