The Strongest Knight

The atmosphere in Birch Tree Fort has improved slightly in the past few days. At least the expressions on the faces of the patrolling soldiers are much more relaxed.

The blood demon seemed to have lost its trace within the radiation range of Birch Castle.

Roland and the others speculated that it might have gone against the instincts of the Fallen and chose to flee far away.

The threat posed by a fallen monster is enormous.

The news about the blood demon spread throughout the Kingdom of Dru at the fastest speed through the official knights' communication channels.

Fielding has currently discovered that the blood demon has at least two abilities. One is that it can quickly recover from injuries after sucking blood, and the other is blood escape, turning into a streak of blood light and quickly leaving at a speed that even Fielding cannot catch up with.

When they were encircling and suppressing the aliens that day, the blood demon that Robin had fallen into suddenly attacked. After devouring the knight souls of three of his fellow apprentices, Fielding, in a rage, beat him so badly that he was almost dead.

After all, they were the senior disciples with whom he spent every day. While Fielding was hesitating, the Blood Demon seized the opportunity and quickly devoured the two soldiers who were close to him. His injuries were almost instantly healed.

Then, the Blood Demon launched a blood escape and disappeared from the spot in an instant. The furious Fielding chased the Blood Demon's breath for dozens of kilometers until he could no longer find its trace. He had to choose to return and make defensive arrangements.

It was precisely because of these two strange abilities that the Blood Demon was able to escape from the hands of the official knight Fielding.

After becoming Fallen, the Knights' strength cannot be estimated in the normal way. Under the influence of the rioting ancient bloodline, their strength will exceed the limitations of their bodies.

Fielding estimated that after devouring three knight apprentices, the Blood Demon's strength was likely to be infinitely close to that of a lower-level knight.

Even with the blood of a close relative, it would be dangerous for Gray to encounter it.

Based on this, when the knight apprentices of Birch Castle go out to verify the news about the blood demon sent back by people, they often act in groups of five.

Unfortunately, all the news that was sent back was false. Roland and his companions went out at least ten times, and they always came back disappointed.

......

Passing by the horse farm, Gray had an idea and wanted to go and see his own horse, Drugao.

After becoming Fielding's disciple, Fielding gave Gray three gifts.

The same Black Water Sword Skill 2, the same complete set of knight heavy armor worth more than two gold coins plus a four-meter knight lance, and the last thing is this pure-blooded Drugo horse.

Armor, spear, and mount, only with these three things can a knight exert his combat power to the maximum extent.

On the battlefield, when a knight holding a four-meter-long spear launches a charge, the scene is bound to be bloody.

"Sir, your horse is here." After verifying his identity, the caretaker of the stable, a sturdy man with a red neck, led Gray to a pure black Dru horse.

It is 1.85 meters tall at the shoulder and over 2.2 meters tall at the top of its head, which is considered an excellent body shape even among Drukgamari.

The Drugao horses in Birch Castle are all free-range and very wild.

"I'll try." Gray was delighted to see the prey.

"Please feel free to do as you please, sir." Redneck was very respectful. Although Gray looked very young, he had no doubt that a knight's apprentice could easily tame the fierce horse.

Gray stepped on the stirrup and jumped up. The black horse under him roared and raised its head.

Gray's strength was already great, and after becoming a knight's apprentice, his strength continued to grow rapidly, not to mention the assistance of the Knight's Soul.

It directly shook the knight's soul, and a surge of energy flowed into his arms. Gray fiercely subdued the fierce horse with his absolute strength.

This was a good show of force. After snorting and shaking its head a few times to express its dissatisfaction, the horse finally acknowledged Gray.

"go!"

After pulling the reins, the horse leaped out at an astonishing speed!

After running around the racecourse several times, Gray returned to his starting point contentedly.

"From today on, your name will be Redback." Gray named his beloved horse.

The reason for this name is that when Gray was riding the horse just now, he found a red birthmark in the middle of its back.

"Take good care of Redback for me." Gray handed Redback to Redneck, touched Redback's horse face, and turned to walk towards the armory.

If he wanted to ride around in the Birch Castle on horseback like Roland and the others did, he would have to continue training with Redback for some time, completely succumbing to his wild nature and being able to communicate with him in mind.

Otherwise, if Redback misunderstood, the destructive power of a Drugau horse would be incredible, and it would be bad if it brought trouble to Birch Castle.

From some distance away from the armory, Gray heard the sound of iron hammering.

Gray had heard that the blacksmith shop in Birch Castle was managed by a dwarf from the east of the continent. When he actually saw this dwarf, he was still amazed by his appearance.

With a height of 50 meters and an arm circumference of over cm, you can imagine how rough the dwarf looks.

Gray needed to keep his head down to communicate with him properly.

"Are you the Jazz's new disciple?"

The dwarf Shanlie spoke with a humming sound.

"Yes, I'm Gray Christian." Gray did not look down on the dwarf and showed enough respect in his tone.

"A heavier one?"

Shan Lie stretched out his hand, and Gray handed him the heavy sword. He took the heavy sword and shook it lightly in his hand. He was indeed very strong, but this scene was a bit funny...

Gray put away his thoughts and said in a serious tone: "Well, I feel that swinging 80 kilograms can no longer stimulate my body well."

Shan Lie raised his head and looked at Gray, "Come here."

Shan Lie brought Gray to a corner of the blacksmith shop, pointed at a row of heavy swords and said, "Pick one for yourself."

Gray didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, finally choosing a heavy sword weighing about 120 pounds.

After becoming a knight's apprentice, because he had the Knight's Soul combined with the Knight's breathing training method, the practice of the Black Water Sword Technique, which was of little help to the physical body, was mainly to better master the use of the Knight's Soul energy.

However, Gray still did not completely ignore the most basic physical training. In addition to changing the heavy sword to increase stimulation, he would still complete a number of crazy anaerobic exercises with the heavy sword on his back during the intervals of training every day while waiting for the energy of the knight's soul to recover.

With cheats and unimaginable diligence, it is difficult for Gray to slow down his pace.

After changing their heavy swords, Gray and Shanlie said goodbye and left.

Passing by the training ground, the knight trainees of the No. 1 sub-fort were still diligently wielding their black swords.

Gray's deeds gave them great encouragement and stimulation.

Especially Garu and Plan, one has always regarded Gray as an evenly matched opponent, while the other has always regarded Gray as the next goal to surpass.

As a result, Gray emerged as a rising star within a few days and became a knight's apprentice at an early stage, which was a great stimulation to the two of them.

As usual, Roland was not at the training grounds. Only a few soldiers were responsible for supervision and protection.

Plan was the first to notice Roland watching nearby, and he couldn't help but wink at Gray.

Gray was about to respond with a smile when his pupils suddenly shrank.
