"Wolf, I haven't seen you fight yet. Let me see how you do," Liu Siyi turned and loudly said to the wolfman hero riding the mantis.
Originally, his plan was to recruit the human knight. After all, knights are powerful sixth-tier units, and their combat strength is not inferior to that of the cyclops. However, after obtaining the information about the knight from his inheritance, he abandoned the idea of recruiting.
As is well known, in real life, medieval knights in the West had a certain chivalrous spirit, embodying some positive aspects of the ancient martial spirit of the European people, being brave, fearless, and representing the noble character of the medieval aristocracy.
However, not only in the real world, but also in this world, the knights have their own chivalrous spirit, known as the sacred mission!
Defeating enemies, pursuing light, defending the homeland, for ideals, for light, for the people...
In short, the chivalrous spirit is more important than the knight's own life.
Knights who pursue the sacred mission and possess the chivalrous spirit will almost never swear allegiance to anyone other than the human king. This is the main reason why Liu Siyi decided to give up on recruiting them.
"Hehe, Lord Mayor, the opponent you chose for me is just what I wanted." Wolf looked at the dragon knight with burning battle intent. Only an evenly matched opponent could ignite such battle intent.
"Don't be in a hurry. Fighting knights on flat grassland is the worst choice. We'll lure them to the golden treasure chest behind them. As long as they can't use their mobility, we'll be fine." Liu Siyi looked at the knights' position. Behind them, about a hundred meters away, was a small hill, and on the hill was a fifth-tier golden treasure chest.
This small hill was made up of many stones, and the warhorses couldn't run here, so it was chosen as the battlefield.
"Kazek, Mantises, when the battle starts, your task is to hold back the two elite knights. Remember, just hold them back, no need to kill them. Bill, Rock, God, Ed, you will be at the front, blocking the knights' first charge. The rest will provide magical support. Bru, keep an eye on Bill. If they can't hold on, I allow you to join the battle, ten crystals per dragon. Also, Senna and Renn don't need to participate in the battle." Liu Siyi looked at his subordinates. At this moment, he realized that this battle was completely different from the previous ones where he only needed to use magic. Commanding so many people to fight simultaneously was bound to have some flaws.
This battle had two purposes. One was Liu Siyi's sudden idea to see Wolf's combat ability. The other reason was that Senna and Renn could level up and obtain a high-level skill by killing a knight, while the others could not. Therefore, this time, the evolutionary power of the knights would be distributed more evenly to prepare for the next level-up.
As for the crystal dragons joining the battle, it was really unnecessary this time. However, this was their first battle, and the main purpose was to give them a taste of the sweet deal: they could get ten crystals without much danger, which would make them more eager to fight next time.
"Understood!" Bill and the others didn't think too much; they were just happy to have a battle.
Liu Siyi led his subordinates to fly over the knights and land on the small hill, feeling very satisfied with the performance of the four crystal dragons.
At this moment, the four crystal dragons were circling high above the knights, as if ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow at any moment. Because of their threat, the knights, after seeing Liu Siyi and his group's movements, still had to keep part of their attention on the sky, unable to fully focus on the battle against Liu Siyi and his group.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just as Liu Siyi was very satisfied with his arrangement and ignored the threat of the knights, suddenly, two arrows whizzed through the air, and two arrows rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes.
"Clang! Ding!"
When Liu Siyi's vision was blocked by two tall figures, he heard two distinctly different sounds of the arrows colliding.
The loud "Clang" was Bill cutting an arrow in half with his axe, while the clear "Ding" was Wolf deflecting another arrow with his sharp claws.
Liu Siyi was not the first time facing the danger of being killed, but this time it happened when he was in a position of strength, able to kill the enemy at any time. It wasn't that he lacked the strength or the reaction, but he lacked the battle awareness that comes from experiencing countless dangers and being constantly on the brink of death.
He didn't expect the knights to recognize him as the leader, nor did he expect their first attack to be aimed at him. Therefore, when he saw the danger, he didn't have the awareness to dodge.
Liu Siyi was very self-aware. As a mage, he almost never participated in close combat, but he was not content with being just a mage. Dual cultivation in magic and martial arts was his current greatest dream. However, as he leveled up and his strength increased, his close combat ability became increasingly weak when facing increasingly powerful opponents.
He had to change! But he had no idea where to start.
These chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, seeming like a lot but actually happening in a split second.
After the two elite knights fired their crossbows, they hung them on the side of their horses. They finally decided to temporarily ignore the threat from the crystal dragons and first eliminate the orcs who dared to occupy the golden treasure chest and provoke them.
"Slow!"
Falen, who mastered intermediate earth magic, first cast the Slow spell on the knights. Immediately, the knights felt as if they had put on another layer of heavy armor, and their speed slowed down significantly.
"Stone Skin! Shield!"
After the Slow spell, Falen cast two beneficial spells on himself and his group.
These two spells looked similar, both defensive, and Liu Siyi didn't care much.
"Bind!"
After Falen cast three first-level spells, Qiu Qiu cast a third-level wind spell. A gust of wind blew towards the slowly accelerating knights, forming a wind cage around them. This wind not only didn't speed them up but also slowed them down even more.
"Speed!"
Falen took a deep breath and cast the wind Speed spell without stopping, significantly increasing the speed of himself and his group.
"Good! Stone Skin increases defense, and Shield reduces damage. I was worried that Bill and the others wouldn't be able to withstand the knights' charge, but now it seems my worry was unnecessary." Wolf laughed heartily.
One increases defense, and the other reduces damage, but what's the difference? Liu Siyi still didn't understand. After all, he was in a foreign land, and it was not easy to understand these things.
"Roar!" The crystal dragons, seeing the knights fire their crossbows, realized that they no longer posed a threat to them in the air. They immediately feigned a dive, causing the knights to panic and point their lances at the sky, losing all speed.
When the knights realized that the crystal dragons were just scaring them, they had already reached the base of the small hill. Standing on the hill made of stones, they found it impossible to charge.
However, the inability of the knights to charge did not mean that the dragon knight would be helpless. The dragon horse leaped nimbly, stepping on the stones as if they were flat ground, the dragon lance held horizontally, and the dragon shield protecting half of its body, it actually charged like a knight.
"Come on!" Wolf roared and immediately charged forward, leaping into the air, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and pounced on the dragon knight.
What nonsense! Even Liu Siyi, who didn't understand close combat, knew that being in the air left one vulnerable. Wasn't he just a target for others?
Sure enough, the dragon knight saw Wolf's action but continued to charge without hesitation, raising the front of his dragon lance to aim at the airborne Wolf.
The airborne Wolf pouncing on the charging dragon knight— who would win? Liu Siyi's eyes lit up with excitement.
