The Strongest Knight

After leaving Holm's mansion and returning to Grey Knight's Castle, Grey still seemed very relaxed.

There was no sense of tension at all as if a big war was about to happen.

Although it has been confirmed that we will take action against Longnei Highlands, the preparations will take at least two to three months or even longer.

Exploring, provoking conflicts, looking for opportunities, and then actually intervening, this kind of regional battle that aims to kill the opponent with one blow is different from the mithril mine battle that is mainly based on interest disputes. It has to be done step by step.

Even the Mithril Mine Battle launched by Huangyan City took more than half a year, and finally a bandit group was won over before deciding to officially launch the battle.

However, the main reason why Gray remained calm was due to his increasingly powerful strength.

In Holm's study, the four congressmen met privately to analyze the benefits of launching a campaign to the Red River Valley region.

One is the increase in territory.

Another reason is that Longnei Highlands is adjacent to five other Central Region forces. Establishing a city lord in Longnei Highlands can greatly expand the trade routes of the Red River Valley.

As for the reason why the Mage Corps of Candy Canyon launched the campaign, it was because of the purple-eyed dragon people of Longnei Highlands' desire for magic stones.

Compared to the demand for magic stones by mages, the demand of purple-eyed dragon people may be even greater, because the main way for purple-eyed dragon people to improve their strength is to use magic stones to enhance the dragon blood in their bodies.

The Mage Group of Candy Canyon and Longnei Highlands originally chose to establish their regions in their respective locations because there were many magic stone mines in their respective territories.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the magic stone mines in Longnei Highlands have been exhausted, while the magic stone mines in Candy Canyon are still abundant.

The magic stone mines in the Longnei Highlands territory have been exhausted, and the extremely xenophobic Purple-Eyed Dragon people do not engage in trade, and will even intercept and kill caravans passing through the territory.

If this continues for a long time, the Purple-Eyed Dragon People will face extinction.

Therefore, their only chance was to occupy the Candy Canyon and use the magic stone mines in the Candy Canyon to continue to develop and expand their own race.

The members of the Mage Corps of Candy Canyon are not fools. They see all the actions of the restless purple-eyed dragons.

Originally, Longnei Highlands was an excellent backing for the Candy Canyon to separate the other five central regions and avoid disputes. Now the backing has become a volcano. The second-level wizard Wells made a prompt decision to contact the Red River Valley in the north, which has been in the limelight recently.

......

Grey Castle, an open-air training ground in the main castle.

The cold air in Gray's body was retracted into his body, announcing the completion of another round of ice tempering.

The two body-tempering prescriptions had long lost their effectiveness. Now Gray's normal practice was basically the Knight's Breathing Method combined with Ice Body Tempering, alternating between the two.

Gray put on cloth clothes, and the monster Robert stood aside obediently.

The last meeting with the general under the command of the eleventh envoy of the divine realm made Robert completely believe what Gray said.

After learning about the existence of a huge organization composed of mutant races like himself, and that Gray's position in it seemed to be quite high, Robert's thoughts immediately disappeared.

"Robert, during this time, you go to Huangyan City to attract some attention." Gray said.

Robert nodded, "Return within ten days?"

He was not opposed to going to another area. On the contrary, he was somewhat happy about it because the Red River Valley was Gray's territory. Even when faced with all kinds of food in the city, he could only suppress his desire.

"No." Gray shook his head, and ten stones flashing white light escaped from the storage bag.

This is the product Gray got after filling the empty magic stone with holy light. Gray named it Holy Light Stone.

One Holy Light Stone can help Robert wash away his negative emotions once. Ten Holy Light Stones are enough for Robert to last at least three months.

"Before we take over Longnei Highlands, you have to stay hidden near Huangyan City to keep them from making any moves." Gray said.

"You mean, let me pretend to be you?"

Gray deliberately told Robert about how he had previously used his graying state to kill the elder of Huangyan City, so Robert quickly understood what Gray meant.

Gray nodded, "Remember to be careful and lurk, don't expose yourself. If they know you are just a pawn, the knights of the Huangyan City Elders will not be pushovers."

Robert took the ten Holy Light Stones, carefully put them into his chest pocket, bowed to Gray, and turned to leave.

"As long as Robert maintains the illusion that the powerful fallen monster is still near Huangyan City, the Huangyan City Elders will never dare to interfere with the battle launched by the Red River Valley against Longnei Highlands."

Gray muttered to himself as he looked at Robert's leaving back.

Gray secretly planned a plan that the other three congressmen could not know about.

Although we may look down on the enemy on the surface, we must not take him lightly in our strategic arrangements.

If the Red River Valley mobilizes all its forces to deal with the Longnei Highlands, and Huangyan City suddenly trips up and causes losses, then the gains will not outweigh the losses.

"Next, we have to wait for the envoy from Candy Canyon to come and discuss the details in detail."

During the training, Gray placed Robert as a hidden chess piece. He took a short break and then sat on a stone bench. He closed his eyes and began to explore the 'Acupoint Body Tempering Method' in his body without wasting time.

In Gray's memory, his father, an old Chinese medicine practitioner, once told Gray about the so-called "five golden acupuncture points" that are most effective for strengthening the body.

They are the "Qi Hai Point" located on the abdomen; the "Bai Hui Point" located between the back of the head and the top of the head; the "Yong Quan Point" on the sole of the foot; the "Lao Gong Point" in the middle of the palm; and the "Tan Zhong Point" between the two chests.

In an environment where there is no special energy in the previous life, these five golden acupoints can greatly help in strengthening the body.

What's more, what about the Barrow continent that has the energy of knights?

In fact, Gray has proven its effectiveness.

The 'Five Golden Acupoints' constitute the most basic conceptual source of Gray's 'Acupoint Tempering Method'.

Based on this, Gray tried again and again. Although he found dozens of acupuncture points that could be integrated into the enhanced "Blood Vessel Tempering Method", the auxiliary system had not recognized it.

It seemed that his skills had not yet reached the level that could be recognized by the auxiliary system, so Gray had no choice but to persist and explore further.

Because of the auxiliary system, Gray is not in a hurry. He spends a fixed time every day studying knight martial arts without taking up his own practice time.

Without the auxiliary system, Gray would have to rely on his half-baked knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine to create his own martial arts knowledge. It would be amazing if he could invent one or two martial arts skills in his lifetime.

Moreover, it is estimated that it will delay his training and his strength will not improve at all, let alone becoming the founder of the Knight's Martial Arts...

After studying the 'Acupoint Tempering Method' for a while, Gray continued to practice the Ice Tempering and Knight Breathing Method several times before stopping to eat dinner.

"My Lord, these are the expedited documents sent over from Councillor Holm."

In front of a long table full of food, Gray was stuffing a piece of beef into his mouth when Giroud, the steward of the Grey Knight Castle, appeared. After a salute, he handed over a document.
