Chapter 278: Luo Ning's Mind
The sudden cold touch on his neck instantly extinguished the high-spirited fire in Raels's heart.
This knight in silver armor is no more than a high-level warrior. In the challenge thirty days ago, his weapon could not touch a single hair of Luo Ning's hair, and he was knocked unconscious by his sword from behind. As the spear condensed, his mind suddenly flashed back to the ugly scene he had seen thirty days ago, and his mood was imperceptibly shaken.
But then, he became extremely determined, and filled the gap with self-confidence. Because in his eyes, the flame spear was certainly sharp, but neither speed nor strength was inexplicable. Among the tactical rules he remembered were the tactics of solo combat, and three of them were applicable to this situation.
The tip of the flame spear glowing red flew closer and closer, and the Silver Armored Knight didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously chose the most impressive strategy! I saw his body move half a step like lightning, and at the same time slightly deviated the shield to the left, forming a seemingly ordinary angle with his body, and piling up all the fighting energy he could condense on the shield and long sword. Days of adversity have taught him a truth: In the face of such an enemy with a huge disparity in strength, he has only one precious chance! No matter whether he wins or loses, the battle will end after this move.
The next moment, the piercing sound of metal grinding hit the eardrums of the Silver Armored Knight, and Luo Ning's flaming spear collided with the standard square shield covered with a thick fighting spirit without any fancy fancy. Judging from the strength of the two of them, it only takes less than a second for the Silver Armored Knight to be pierced with the shield and arm, and it is even possible that Luo Ning will be hit in the heart.
However, this is not the case. The flame spear pierced through the shield and failed to continue to break through the defense and pierce his arm, but was squeezed by the shield that was seven or eight centimeters thick and the fighting qi covering its surface, and was stuck on the surface of his gauntlet, only stabbing his gauntlet into a dent. When Luo Ning tried to pull out his spear and attack again, he was thwarted by a flash of silver. I saw that the long sword in the right hand of the Silver Armored Knight suddenly attacked, like a poisonous snake that shot out from the shadows to launch a surprise attack, stabbing Luo Ning in the heart. The opponent's sword has reached his chest, and our spear has not been withdrawn. In just an instant, Ronin fell into an absolute crisis.
After seeing this operation, Luo Ning's eyes couldn't help but light up. He didn't panic, but let go of his right hand, dispersed the flame spear formed by the condensed fighting qi, and instead re-condensed a dragon tooth shield on his left arm, and knocked the opponent's long sword away from the side.
"Okay!" The continuous rapid offensive and defensive transitions made everyone on the sidelines excited. But this scene fell in Raels's eyes, but he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, these twelve are still too young! they've made a lot of progress, but they're still no match for Captain Campbell!"
Sure enough, once the situation in the field was reversed, there was no suspense. Instead of giving his opponent another chance, Ronin ended the match with a set of short combos similar to those of an assassin.
"Whew, it's so cool!" Luo Ning stretched his arms, and his tense expression softened. When he saw the silver-armored knight fall to the ground, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Good job!
The Silver Armor Knight was originally sullen because of the failure, but when he heard Luo Ning's evaluation, a warm current flowed through his heart, and he only felt that all the pain he had endured during this time was worth it.
It's not okay to scream and be tired, and if you resist, you can't beat it, and even the option of picking a son and not doing it was ruthlessly strangled by Princess Lena from their respective families. After just ten days, everyone stopped complaining or doubting. Like Raels, obedience became their only option.
Of course, it wasn't just the intense pressure that greeted the knights, but also the rewards that all thirteen coveted. Before the start of the third day of training, Luo Ning suddenly pulled out the Amethyst Demon Sword from Raels's waist and put the "Luo" character emblem on the bottom of the hilt in front of everyone.
"In thirty days, I will personally judge your progress. Princess Lena promised me that the five who have made the most progress will receive an epic weapon that is more valuable than the Amethyst Magic Sword, as well as an accessory of the same quality!"
"Suck ——", including Raels, all the knights were suddenly so excited that they clenched their fists tightly and let out a heavy breathing sound. With their family background, an epic weapon is not too valuable, but it is different if you add an epic cosmetic item with a market price of three times that of a weapon of the same level. What's more, this isn't your average epic piece of gear. Because each piece of equipment is engraved with three powerful magic patterns, and the number is extremely rare, the equipment engraved with the "Luo" insignia has now become a powerful and precious symbol! In the large and small markets of the Morrowind King Capital, a piece of equipment with the "Luo" insignia can often be more than twice as expensive as the same type of equipment, and it has always been priceless! With such precious equipment, the five people with the best performance can get three pieces of it alone! With such attractive conditions, who is not excited? Who does not sell their lives?
As the saying goes, "The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit!" Thirteen people got Princess Lina's promise, and suddenly they took out twelve points of enthusiasm and practiced desperately, which startled Luo Ning.
On the thirtieth day of training, Luo Ning sat on a green grassy low knoll, next to him two docile amethyst war tigers. Perhaps because he was stained with too much of Fanya's scent, from the first day he arrived here, these Amethyst War Tigers behaved exceptionally well-behaved, showing a bowing appearance to Luo Ning.
In the gladiatorial arena not far away, Raels and the other five knights were sweating profusely and their faces were slightly pale, and they were dealing with eight Daredevil assassins. At this time, there was not even a trace of fighting spirit left in their bodies, and they all relied on the strength to not admit defeat. And their opponents were ordered by Luo Ning to use their fighting spirit to attack with all their might, and they couldn't show any mercy. Under the advantages of the other, the five of them could only surround themselves back to back, blocking the vital parts with shields and struggling to support.
However, it was this embarrassing situation that made Luo Ning see good growth!
It turned out that these five people seemed to be simply standing together, but this position had something else. Raels, in particular, stood slightly closer than the other four, seemingly fearful, but in fact he was working wonders - no matter what direction the eight Assassins were attacking, he was always able to turn the direction in time to cover the other two to block them. At the same time, the other two knights who blocked the attack also cooperated with each other, always one of them blocked in front, and the other person drew his sword and waited for the opportunity to sneak attack, no matter the timing, direction or strength were just right, both offensive and defensive could not be prevented.
