Chapter Ninety-Three: Sudden Change
Even these knights, who have received high-intensity combat training since childhood, and who stand at the pinnacle of human strength in martial arts, wear the strongest armor and carry the sharpest long sword, they cannot defeat a powerful werewolf alone with their own strength.
Even if this mysterious lord is stronger than them, it is impossible to kill dozens of werewolves by himself, which is simply not something that humans can do.
So they concluded that this matter was a hoax, and that the werewolf corpses that had piled up were not killed by one person at all.
It is likely that the invading werewolves were killed by the original lord's forces, and in the end, the young man in front of them picked up the leak, and trumpeted that he had killed all the werewolves, and successfully deceived these stupid civilians and plotted to seize the territory.
Unfortunately, their Earl, like the other nobles in the vicinity, was frightened by this astonishing rumor, and the growing number of werewolf corpses piled up like a small hill was too intimidating for him to act rashly for a long time.
Until recently, Count Valen received a letter from this mysterious lord.
So, they came this time.
For Count Valen, this is a rare opportunity to find out the details of Chen Mo.
Before leaving, Count Valen personally explained to them the purpose of the trip, in addition to completing what was said in the letter, but also to take the opportunity to find out what the mysterious lord really came from and how strong he was.
If it is really as powerful as the legend, it must be well wooed, even if it cannot be used by him, it must not become an enemy.
At this time, the legendary and powerful lord was right in front of them, and although he was tall and strong in appearance, he was not much like them, and even slightly inferior to many of them who were very able-bodied.
This made it hard for them to believe that he could kill more than fifty werewolves by himself with a single sword and without even a war horse.
In their hearts, the idea that Chen Mo was a liar was even stronger.
Originally, as a knight, you should dismount and salute in front of a lord, which is the most basic etiquette.
Even if this lord is not the master he is loyal to, his status is much more noble than him, which is a difference in status.
And these knights sat peacefully on their horses in front of Chen Mo on foot, looking down at Chen Mo, which was a very unreasonable behavior, and it could even be said to be a provocation.
Looking at the group of unruly knights sitting proudly on the horse, Chen Mo looked indifferent, and did not have any displeasure, but reached out and took out an object from his arms and threw it directly at the knight led by him.
Seeing Chen Mo's movements, the knight quickly stretched out his hand and caught what Chen Mo threw over, but he felt that his wrist sank, and he almost flashed, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a heavy gold brick, weighing an estimated weight of ten kilograms.
"Leave my horse behind, and you can go."
Chen Mo's indifferent and majestic voice followed.
It turned out that Chen Mo had proposed to buy a hundred war horses from him at a high price in the letter he sent to Count Valen, and at this time the deal had been reached, and the knights who escorted the war horses had already completed their task and could go back to resume their lives.
But after the knight on the opposite side got the gold, he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, but instead looked at Chen Mo with greed in his eyes and sneered.
The knight at the head saw that Chen Mo, the lord, had no reaction to their rudeness, but honestly gave them gold, and even more determined that Chen Mo had been bluffing all along, and was not as powerful as the legend was.
As for throwing ten kilograms of gold for more than ten meters, these powerful knights can basically do it, which also shows that Chen Mo's strength is actually similar to them.
Count Valen had explained when he sent them here, asking them to find a way to test Chen Mo's strength, if they found that he was not as powerful as rumored, all this was just a scam, then kill this bastard who dared to deceive him directly!
It was precisely because of this intention that Count Valen sent nearly half of the knights and attendant cavalry in his hands to escort the war horses to Chen Mo's territory for this transaction.
At this time, these knights had already judged Chen Mo's details, and seeing that Chen Mo took out so much gold so easily, their desire for money made them a little impatient.
Without having the heart to make other unnecessary temptations, under the leadership of the leading knight, everyone in the knight order drew out the long sword at their waists and charged towards Chen Mo in formation.
A hideous smile bloomed on their faces, even if it was a werewolf, in the face of a cavalry charge of their size, it would only be slaughtered, let alone this human who was standing defenseless in front of them without even wearing armor.
He wouldn't really think that the Earl had completely believed the lies he had made up and would not dare to attack him?
What a naivety!
Andrew and the others behind Chen Mo were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly pulled out their long swords and blocked them in front of Chen Mo.
At this time, their position is in the middle of this group of knights and the wall, the surrounding is empty, there is no place to dodge, since there is no way to retreat, then they can only resist, even if they die, they must kill a few of them!
Andrew and several people stood in front of Chen Mo, their faces were solemn but extremely firm, Chen Mo rescued them from the werewolf's mouth, and also taught them advanced swordsmanship, so that they could throw Chen Mo and escape, they would definitely not be able to do it.
What about death, it's a big deal to return this life to the lord.
The soldiers of the territorial guard were the same, such a long training time was not in vain, in the face of the large group of knights who charged, the soldiers did not panic at all, maintained a neat formation, and rushed forward with weapons in hand, wanting to block the impact of the cavalry before Chen Mo was attacked.
Chen Mo eradicated the hidden danger of werewolves for them, reduced taxes, and enabled their families to live a stable life, which was already the greatest favor for them who were originally precarious and lived a difficult life under the exploitation of the lord.
Even if it is for the sake of their family to continue their current stable life, they are willing to fight to protect the lord!
And Chen Mo looked at the group of knights under the command of Count Valen who suddenly attacked, holding high swords and spears and rushing towards him, there was no surprise on his face, but he showed an expression that was really like this.
He had expected that these noble lords would not be able to be frightened by a pile of werewolf corpses all the time, and after a long time, they would definitely have other ideas, rather than passively waiting for them to make a move first, it was better to simply take the initiative to test it.
So there was this move to buy a war horse from the great lord Count Valen.
Taking the opportunity of buying a war horse this time, not only can he test the attitude of the surrounding nobles, but he may also be able to take the opportunity to start his plan directly.
