The Strongest Knight

Early in the morning, Gray and his two men led fifty cavalrymen to Stoneclaw City.

The murder case that Garu was responsible for was most likely committed by a mage apprentice who had just arrived in Stoneclaw City. It was not an easy task, so he walked into the city with a serious look on his face.

Gray and his companions met up with the Stoneclaw City support team in front of the city gate, and then headed straight for the bandits' location.

This group of bandits has recently been lingering in the mountains north of Stoneclaw City, robbing merchants traveling between Birchburg and Elianburg many times.

The Stoneclaw City garrison attacked several times but failed to capture the bandits.

The Kingdom of Dru is in a peaceful era. In such an era, those who choose to be lazy and become bandits are often truly vicious and cruel criminals, and they deserve to be killed.

Gray's old friend, Stoneclaw City's garrison commander Deva, also followed the Birch Castle team to the entrance of the mountains.

"Lord Gray, this group of bandits is hiding in this mountain forest with hundreds of square kilometers of land. More than twenty merchants have died at their hands."

"Unfortunately, my senses are not sharp enough to find their hiding place, but with your superb strength of condensing six knight souls, Lord Gray, they will pay the price of their lives for their actions this time!"

Deva spoke excitedly.

"Are there any professionals among them? Knights, mages, or wizards?" Gray asked as he looked at the lush mountains.

Deva shook his head in shame: "I haven't had any direct contact with them yet. I only know that this group of robbers came all the way from the east near the South Cook border."

"A merchant who escaped provided information that there were about 30 robbers, all riding horses and with their faces covered."

"There are at least a dozen knight castles along the way from the South Cook border to Birch Castle. It seems that they have some skills to leave traces along the way to here." Gray said while riding on Redback, patting the hilt of the longsword at his waist.

"Gray, what should we do?" Plan was a little nervous. First, it was his first time to carry out a mission. Second, he would have to kill the robbers this time, and he had never seen blood before.

"Let's do a carpet search."

"Everyone line up in a row and spread out in a line, keeping a distance that people next to you can see, and start to search the mountain."

At Gray's command, the fifty cavalrymen of Birch Fort dispersed as quickly as possible and faithfully carried out the order.

As Gray gradually became the most powerful knight apprentice in Birch Castle, coupled with his reputation as a genius, his prestige also rose rapidly.

Fielding was also happy about this and wanted to train Gray to be the successor of Birchwood Castle.

A crow flew across the sky.

Gray raised his head as if he sensed something, frowned slightly, stopped his horse, drew his bow and put an arrow on it.

"Swish!" The arrow infused with the knight's energy shot towards the black crow at a rapid speed.

However, when the arrow was about to hit the crow, a whirlwind suddenly blew around it, and its speed increased dramatically! It barely avoided the arrow!

This is an elemental fluctuation, a magic pet, there is a mage in the bandit team!

No wonder this group of bandits could safely rampage throughout the territory of the Dru Kingdom. With powerful mages on guard, it was indeed difficult for any knight to approach them.

Before being surrounded by the knights, the bandits probably managed to escape under the wizard's alert.

Seeing that the crow was about to disappear from his sight, Gray made a prompt decision to dismount from his horse, activated his 'agile steps' which consumed relatively less energy, and leaped through the mountains and forests in the direction where the crow had left.

"Don't disperse, search and advance slowly in my direction." Gray turned around and gave instructions.

Deva and Plan had been watching Gray's movements. Seeing this, they looked at each other and led the cavalry to adjust the search direction.

......

Gray dared to pursue alone because he was confident in his own strength.

The knight apprentice who has condensed six strands of knight soul has amazing physical fitness. Even without using the knight soul, his pure physical strength is close to a thousand pounds.

Killing a cow with bare hands is something that a knight apprentice at this level can actually do.

Master?

A mage without a meat shield won't be able to last long against a knight.

Compared with mages, wizards are more troublesome for knights.

Wizards practice magic power, which can not only perform various mysterious witchcraft, but also passively improve the wizard's physical fitness. The physical fitness of a formal wizard is no worse than that of a knight's apprentice.

The mage tempers his mental strength and communicates directly with the elements, and the stronger the spell model, the stronger it will be. However, as long as the knight gets close to him, the weak mage will face a catastrophic disaster.

Gray wanted to see what this wizard who had fallen into banditry looked like.

Gray was incredibly fast and stayed firmly behind Crow, not being thrown off.

After running for more than ten minutes, the crow fell into a canyon.

There was a stream in the middle of the canyon, and a pair of masked bandits, numbering about thirty, were repairing by the river.

The crow landed directly on the shoulder of a masked man holding a staff and patted the crow's head. The masked mage said, "We will set off immediately. The nearby knight's castle has already started searching the mountain. The looted property this time is almost enough, so we can set off and return."

Surprisingly, this masked wizard with a clear and beautiful voice was actually a woman.

The thirty vicious bandits seemed to have great respect for the female magician. After hearing the news that they could return, they all cheered.

The robbers' horses were loaded with all kinds of valuables, which showed that they had gained a lot from the looting.

Although carrying a large amount of property affects the horse's speed and endurance, this is understandable.

"Hmm? The warning array has been triggered!"

The masked wizard had just climbed onto his horse when he suddenly felt a wave in his head and cried out in surprise.

The warning array is only a hundred meters away from the base, which means that the enemy is already within a hundred meters!

The robbers looked around but found nothing.

"In that direction!" The masked wizard pointed to the place where the magic circle was triggered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the masked wizard chanted a spell, "Water elemental spirits playing in the mist! Heed my call and gather here! ... Water Arrow!"

The water elements in the air rioted at the wizard's summons, and countless tiny water arrows formed in the air in front of the masked wizard. Under her manipulation, a water arrow network with a diameter of ten meters was formed and shot towards the target location.

"The ambush and assassination plan failed."

"However, the mimicry potion that Angelet gave me is really useful."

Gray activated the instant, and as soon as he activated the knight energy, he automatically exited the mimicry state of the mimicry potion.

The robbers saw a burly figure in knight armor suddenly appear in a place where there were originally grass and trees. The figure flashed several times in succession, not only avoiding the coverage of the wizard's water arrows, but also shortening the distance between them!
