The Strongest Knight

Gray finally understood why he couldn't see Knight Fielding after entering the Birch Castle.

Because one day before the recruitment of knight students, Fielding had something urgent to do and took the knight team out.

It took six full days to return to Birch Castle.

When Fielding led his team of knights past the training ground with solemn expressions, Gray, who was practicing the Blackwater sword technique, was a little excited because he saw a knight for the first time. By observing their expressions, he realized that something big must have happened.

Gray didn't need to think too much to guess what was inside the several human-high strips wrapped in white cloth behind the knights.

They were corpses, eight in total.

It was hard to imagine that in Green Town, located in the heart of the Kingdom of Drew, there were still people who dared to be so cruel! Killing a soldier under the knight!

Knights are the backbone of the Dru Kingdom to maintain its strength and peace. In the Dru Kingdom of Norda, knight castles are spread all over the country like shining stars in the sky, protecting the peace.

Among the people of the Kingdom of Dru, the official propaganda about the glory of knights, the spontaneous love and respect of the people for knights, and the fear of knights by bandits and robbers are all the truest aspects.

The word "Knight" can be said to be the signature of the northern country of Dru Kingdom in the Barrow continent.

Just like when people mention wizards in the southern countries of the continent, they will only think of the Balam Kingdom's Balam wizards first; when people mention wizards in the western part of the continent, they will first think of wizards in the Yala Federation...

When talking about knights, people across the entire Barrow continent will subconsciously think of Knight Drew.

Even every knight will be personally received by King Dru when he is awarded the honor of knighthood.

In Drew, the word knight represents glory, and knights hold the fate of the country in their hands. This is why Gray is determined to become a knight after his rebirth.

"Hopefully, it won't affect me..." Gray murmured.

He is still too weak now. He needs time to grow up and someone to teach him. He has no ability to blend in with the splendor of this world.

What happened? Gray chopped the middle hard on the stake.

Gray had finally spent three years saving up enough gold coin to buy knight training, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

A soldier came over and whispered something to the uneasy Instructor Roland.

Roland asked the thirteen students to practice on their own and then strode away.

After all, teenagers are teenagers.

As soon as Roland left, most of the students relaxed, and the count they were reciting jumped directly from 800 to 802, or they just swung their heavy swords without even raising them above their heads...

During these five days, the students did not get a moment's rest except at night, and their nerves were tense for a long time.

Gray has the soul of an adult, so he would not do such a thing as cutting off his own retreat and showing a lack of willpower. He continued to practice the Black Water Swordsmanship seriously.

The bald boy Garu ignored others as usual and immersed himself in his own practice. No, he would pay attention to Gray who had finished chopping early and was practicing the Black Water Sword Technique.

In the past five days, Gray has used the auxiliary system to correct his skills every day, and his Black Water Sword Skill has reached 5.5/100.

The effect is obvious, not only in sword skills. Gray feels that his muscles have been strengthened more significantly in the past five days than in the past two months. He has caught up with or even exceeded the progress of the genius Garu. It is only a matter of time before he surpasses Garu when running laps in the morning.

Gray's behavior put a lot of pressure on Garou.

The red-haired Plan on the side originally wanted to be lazy, but after seeing Gray and Garu's performance, he immediately put the idea of ​​laziness behind his mind.

He is a person who refuses to admit defeat.

......

In the spacious hall on the first floor of the Birch Castle, three top-quality birch coffins have been placed.

Sir Fielding, the chief steward of Birchwood Castle, Sir Fielding's son Duran Fielding and five instructors are the people with the highest status in Birchwood Castle.

Five of the eight bodies have been returned to the soldiers' homes.

The other three bodies had to be buried in Birch Castle because of their special identities.

The servant wiped the body clean and took off the tattered leather armor stained with blood.

It can be seen that a large piece of flesh is missing from the same position on the abdomen of the three corpses, and the black hole is very scary.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother..." Roland said in a sad tone.

He was Fielding's disciple, ranking fifth, and these three corpses had the same disciple status as him, and were all his senior brothers.

In other words, each of these three senior brothers has had a close friendship with him for more than eight years.

Especially the Fourth Senior Brother. Roland remembered that when he first entered the sect, the Fourth Senior Brother taught him almost everything.

"Father, big..., Robin..."

Fielding reached out his hand to stop his son Duran from speaking, and said solemnly: "He has been seduced and corrupted by the alien species and has become a new monster."

"Butler, go find an artist. I will describe his transformed features and inform the entire nation of the monster as soon as possible to prevent more people from being harmed."

The silver-haired old man took the order and left. Fielding sighed. Duran found that his father seemed to have aged instantly. His white beard was particularly dazzling and his back was a little hunched.

Yes, my father originally vowed to strangle any alien species that appeared within his control.

The alien was indeed killed, but four of the most outstanding disciples were lost in one go. In particular, the eldest disciple, whom they were proud of, degenerated into a humanoid monster. This was a huge blow to the father who was dedicated to training a knight to inherit the Birch Castle.

Duran gritted his teeth and said, "I will take people there right away and bring back Robin's head!"

"stop!"

Following Fielding's angry shout, his five disciples, led by Roland, blocked Duran's way.

"What? Can you just bear to watch your fellow disciples die in such humiliation and do nothing?!" Duran pointed at the holes in the abdomens of the three corpses. His face no longer had the usual calmness, but was filled with madness.

Compared to Roland, Duran had deeper feelings for the three corpses on the ground. At the age of eighteen, he grew up almost under the care of his father's several senior disciples, and they were like family members.

Robin, he...he, could actually attack his own relatives. Has he really become a monster?

Roland's chest was heaving, and his eyes were already wet: "You are the teacher's only son, you can't take risks. If anyone wants to go, I will go."

boom!

A gust of air came. It was indeed Fielding who, looking at the incompetent performance of his disciples and sons, angrily stepped on the granite in the living room and made a big hole.

He roared like a lion in anger.

"Everyone, stay in the Birch Castle!"

"Have you forgotten everything I taught you? You don't have to look for him! Monsters will actively seek out beings with knight souls, approach you, kill you, and eat you!! Be well prepared!!"
