Chapter 121: Advance to Grand Knight! (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Green Forest Seven Sons, Blue Sea Seven Heroes, and all sorts of strange names were endless, and behind them might be some ordinary knights.

In short, chasing fame and fortune was human nature.

This was especially true for mortals, whose lives only lasted a hundred years.

The average lifespan of people in this era might not even be 50 years old. Hence, most people preferred to lead timid and mediocre lives.

No heroic and epic characters could make major contributions and become legendary in such a short time.

As people often said, there were only dead legends in this world.

As the war gradually intensified, the Royal Family began to recruit remote areas, asking their vassals to support their troops and financial resources.

The remote Black Water Valley was no exception.

Baron Black Snake was the king’s direct vassal.

Naturally, they had to provide support for the Royal Family.

The emissary from the kingdom quickly sent the news of the conscription to the Black Water Valley.

Generally speaking, given its size and wealth, Black Snake needed to provide 10 to 30 cavalrymen or several times the number of foot soldiers to support the king during wartime.

Or 50 to 100 gold coins per cavalryman.

Levi had told the butler before he entered seclusion for his transformation process.

If the higher-ups came to recruit soldiers, they would have to pay the money accordingly.

With Levi’s current wealth and strength, he would happily hand over the money to not cause trouble.

In front of Black Snake Castle, the emissary frowned at the butler and asked,

“Where is Baron Black Snake?”

The butler looked at the official knight and smiled apologetically, “My lord has something on recently and is busy. He said that our territory doesn’t have that many people for now, so we can only provide financial support.”

This emissary was a high-level knight. He also brought a small team to prevent nobles who harbored evil intentions from trying to get away with it or refuse to fulfill this sacred obligation.

The emissary said coldly, “This war is different from the past. His Majesty has said that all the vassals under His Majesty must personally lead the troops to battle.”

The butler stuttered, “But our lord….

The envoy questioned loudly, “Shut up. Your lord was conferred by His Majesty. His Majesty also conferred this land. Go and call Baron Black Snake out immediately! Otherwise, we will punish him for desertion during wartime and strip him of his title. Can you bear the consequences?” The butler kept quiet and was thinking about how to quibble.

Suddenly, he heard the voice of the lord.

“I’ll go,” Levi said.

The emissary looked at the thin man, who looked quite capable, “You are Baron Levi.”

“That’s right. I’ll fulfill my obligations. When do we set off?”Levi said.

The emissary responded, ‘Very good. We will set off now. Bring your soldiers and gather at Earl Coulomb’s territory. Prepare to head to the battlefield at the northern line of the Lush Forest.”

Not long after, under the leadership of the emissary, Levi led a team of soldiers toward Earl Coulomb’s territory.

Levi looked at the emissary in front of him. He was a high-level knight with a team of cavalrymen who were Quasi-Knights.

When the Black Snake Castle had disappeared behind them, the team came to a

small road in the wilderness. In front of them, two stalwart figures in heavy armor blocked their way.

These two figures did not say a word as they silently watched the emissary and the others.

“Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?”

“I’m the kingdom’s emissary; quickly move aside!”

The emissary’s expression changed drastically. The two figures blocking the way did not hide their powerful auras at all, as well as their sinister and cold auras.

“These might be two grand knights….”

“How is this possible? How could we meet two grand knights on the way?”

There might not even be a hundred grand knights in the entire Emerald Kingdom.

Two grand knights blocked him on this secluded path.

Moreover, these two people looked dead. Their deep blue eyes stared at him, making his hair stand on end.

In the next moment, the two grand knights suddenly exerted their strength!

Boom!

The two giants swung their greatswords and axes.

The high-level knight narrowly dodged the attack.

The cavalrymen behind him were not so lucky.

“Enemy attack! Retreat!” Levi shouted at the soldier.

The soldiers had never seen Magic Shark and Demon Mountain before, so they thought some random enemy had come to attack them.

Under the lord’s orders, they quickly fled.

Those two people were too terrifying. They were even more terrifying than the Giant Bears of the Northern Territory Levi raised.

Levi also slowly retreated. He watched as the two brothers, Demon Shark and Demon Mountain, tore the emissaries and the cavalrymen into pieces.

In the end, none of them survived. “Initially, I wanted just to pay the money peacefully.”

“But why do you have to force me?”

“My father was a powerful grand knight, and his brave soldiers all died on the battlefield of the Holy War. How can I repeat the same mistake?” “Money is fine. But to sacrifice lives? That’s impossible!”

“I’m a grand knight now. The world is so big; I can go anyvvhere.” Levi used the Seal of Flame to burn the corpses to ashes.

His philosophy was clear. He would never go to war for the king.

Today, he had successfully advanced into a grand knight.

A Black Snake broke out of the cocoon at his heart, and a mighty and extraordinarily large Black Snake Seed coiled around Levi’s heart like a dormant dragon.

The level 8 Black Snake Seed had a powerful aura and was incomparable.

In front of the Black Snake Seed, whether it was the Blood Whale, the Giant Rhinoceros, Siren, or the Man-Faced Spider, all paled in comparison. They feared and worshiped the transformed Black Snake Seed, their king.

The black gas wrapped around Frostmourne, making it as black as ink. The viscous fluid flowed, shining with the luster of asphalt.

“I’ve mastered the Black Gas Entwined skill!”

Levi looked at all of this and felt his powerful self.

After becoming a grand knight, his strength underwent a tremendous change.

The black gas that covered his entire body gave him a sense of security.

The level 8 Black Snake Breathing Technique was already extraordinary.

Transcendent Defense.]

“Let’s go home.”

Levi muttered and left with his two companions..
