"Gollum—" After staring at the green eyes of the old gnoll man on the other side, who was not much the same size as himself, Rod couldn't help but squirm in his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to stare at the other man, and tightened his grip on his weapon.

If it were changed to the Earth Celestial Empire, Rhodes would not be able to hold a weapon and stare at each other like he is now, and be ready to kill it with the weapon in his hand at any time!

After all, in the harmonious and abnormal environment of the Celestial Empire on Earth, the vast majority of ordinary people have rarely seen the scene of real battle, and those who kill people with knives or wooden sticks are mostly hot-headed, and it is quite rare to be able to calmly realize that they are carrying cold weapons in their hands and really want to kill each other.

To put it simply, there are weapons to kill, but do you have the courage and consciousness to dare to really kill!

It is obvious that there are not many people who can have this kind of psychological element and courage in the environment of the Celestial Empire on Earth - at least when it was Zhang Ye, Rod didn't have the courage to kill people with a knife.

In this world, Rod Ernst has experienced more than ten years of understanding the magical world, and at least understands that if he wants to inherit the family of Baron Ernst, this level is unavoidable!

The extravagant, decaying, and lewd aristocracy of YY novels or similar movies has never been seen in the magical world in which Rhodes now lives - at least, it is impossible for the first heir of the Ernst family!

Through rebirth to the present, Rhodes himself doesn't want to say anything about bullying men and women, idleness and the like, being a gentleman and a noble child, and the situation that he doesn't even have much time to study and exercise every day after the age of three is simply tearful.

No way, if you want to be a rotten aristocrat and a parasite, it also depends on the place and the people!

The wandering monsters that break into the barony's realm from time to time and the mercenaries who die from time to time in the Far North Mountains tell Sù that Rhodes is lucky enough to be reborn as a descendant of a nobleman, the dangerous and cruel side of this magical world. And even if he becomes the first heir to the Ernst domain, it does not mean that Rhodes can sit back and be a baron when he becomes an adult - even in ancient and modern times, a title or a large family inherits intrigues, and in the magical world, there are corresponding rules and conditions for the succession of a barony's domain!

First of all, it is an inevitable condition to have the blood of the Ernst family!

Secondly, the heir must show his talents or force!

Of these two points, the latter point is the most important for people in the magical world.

If you just have blood, and don't have the corresponding abilities and especially the all-important force to support them, then let alone the rest of the family, even the people will not believe that you can continue to protect them!

If Rhodes himself wanted to be a parasite, then Baron Ernst would not hesitate to give up on him, at most, so that he could grow up in the territory to adulthood and then directly give him some money to fend for himself.

Therefore, now facing the old jackal on the other side, Rhodes, who is facing the battle for the first time, does not dare to retreat even if he is nervous in his heart - if he retreats now, he will have a waste title on his head in the future! As for the future treatment, don't say anything, the words of the loser are not very popular no matter where they are.

After understanding his current situation, Rhodes quickly took a deep breath and calmed down, watching the old jackal on the other side clench the stainless steel longsword with a small amount of black iron added to it and the small round shield of the same material.

"Kill it!!"

Looking at the old gnoll, this was only one thought in Rod's mind.

There is no distinction between good and evil, just because only by killing the other party can you prove yourself, and it is also the inevitable process of growing up on the road of knighthood in this magical world!

"Kill !!" After making up his mind, Rhodes shouted without hesitation and began to step forward, the round shield and long sword in his hand were placed in positions suitable for defense and slashing according to the training he had been training for several years.

To be honest, after several years of knight training, Rhodes, who had only seen cold weapon combat in movies and anime on Earth, became a person who was quite proficient in cold weapon combat. In the process of charging the old jackal, the small round shield held in his left hand was hidden in front of him, and the one-handed longsword in his right hand was slightly flat. And in the process of charging, Rod's pace is quite steady and average, without the slightest hint of reckless charge.

After all, Rhodes himself is really fighting for the first time, compared with the previous confrontation training, although Rhodes has the belief and consciousness to kill, it is better to be cautious and save some strength to adapt at any time in the case of the first battle.

On the other side, the old jackal, who was the opponent, also roared angrily when he saw Rod make a move, and then leaned down and rushed towards Rod on all fours.

For the veteran gnolls who are experienced in combat, the sooner they can escape under the gaze of many powerful enemies, the better.

As for the enemy who rushed over? Well, this kind of guy who has no danger and no bloody aura in the old Gnoll experience is easy to deal with, and if it weren't for the fact that it is now aging and surrounded by strong enemies, it is easy to deal with Rhodes

"Huh-" After watching the old jackal rush into his three-meter range, the one-handed long sword in the hand of Rod, who was also charging, was directly aimed at the vital position of the opponent's body that rushed over.

"Poof-" But the cunning old gnoll man was obviously prepared for Rod's moment, and in the face of the fierce stabbing sword, the old gnoll man directly used his two front paws on the ground to suddenly use his strength to distort the angle of his body in the process of sprinting, avoiding the angle of the one-handed long sword, just after opening a wound on his body that was more than twenty centimeters long and less than two centimeters deep, he rushed directly to Rod, and then suddenly bit directly at Rod's throat.

In the face of the old gnoll's stinking (the gnoll in the magic world definitely doesn't have the habit of brushing his teeth) and has a mouthful of rotten yellow and scarce teeth, as long as humans with normal IQ and habits will not have the intention of trying it, as Rhodes himself, who has no habits beyond the standard of ordinary people, even if the other party is not critical to his throat, he is not happy to be bitten by this old gnoll - God knows if he will get rabies, tetanus or something if he is bitten!

So Rod simply raised the small round shield in his left hand while retreating, and aimed it at the old gnoll to meet him!

"Peng !!"

The old jackal's expected bite did not succeed, and his head hit the small round shield of stainless steel mixed with a small amount of black iron on Rod's left hand, and directly made a dull sound. But the old gnoll man has also narrowed the distance with Rod this time, and even the two paws in front of him have been on Rode's arms and thighs!

This is the true purpose of the old gnoll!

The old gnoll who had experienced a lot of battles certainly understood that those prey attached great importance to their vital parts. If it were replaced by an old jackal, when he was still at his strongest, of course he wouldn't care too much about Rod's strength just now, and he could easily tear open his throat. However, when the old gnoll's body was now aging to the point that he could not even maintain the standard of the gray iron rank, he could only rely on his experience to put the real target on the opponent's limbs.

"Zla-z-la-"

In the next moment, the old gnoll's two claws aimed at Rod's arms and limbs, but the obviously dull claws did not bother Rhodes at all, except for a few marks and less obvious scars on Rod's tough, special leather armor and clothes. And because of this action, the soft belly of the old jackal was exposed in front of Rod.

Although Rod's current long sword in his right hand and round shield in his left hand can't cause effective damage to the old jackal who tries to bite with his bloody mouth from time to time, this doesn't mean that Rod can't attack the old jackal!

When Rod, who was holding the old gnoll, noticed that the other party's soft abdomen was exposed in front of him, he did not hesitate to raise his leg and hit the old gnoll's soft abdomen with one knee.

"Bang-"

"Whew-"

With a dull but unusually loud sound, the old jackal's terrible howl, which had turned sour several paces away, proved how good Rod's knee was to be.

On Earth, it has been proven that human elbow and knee strikes are some of the most powerful parts of the human body, and the soft abdomen is one of the most vulnerable parts of most creatures. Unfortunately, as a gnoll, it inherits the most vulnerable weakness of the waist and abdomen of canine creatures.

Not to mention, the old jackal is almost in the stage of old age and weakness, and Yan zhòng's weakened physical condition is absolutely not comparable to that of the jackal who is in the prime of life.

With the addition of three conditions, the damage that Rhodes, who is the inferior strength of gray iron and even exceeds the average level of normal adult men on the earth, can be described as devastating to the old jackal. Looking at the way the old gnoll still can't get up and blood foams appear at the corners of his mouth, I can understand how much damage Rhodes has done to it just now!

Seeing that the opponent was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, after more than ten years of instilling the concept of the other world and understanding his current situation, Rod directly held the idea of "taking advantage of his illness to kill him" and did not give the other party a chance (although depending on the situation, the probability that the other party can get up is not large), stepped on it quickly, and then slashed at the opponent's neck with a fierce sword!

"Click-" The sharp refined one-handed long sword, under the effect of the lower strength of Rhodes' gray iron, easily cut off the head of the old jackal who was still struggling!
