Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Counterattack
Chapter 9 Counterattack
In just a few breaths, Roning was the first to enter the woods beside the road.
Taking advantage of the trees and the small slope blocking his view, he immediately called up the seven-day login interface and collected the first day's reward.
Suddenly, countless beams of light rose from the ground in front of him. The scene was as fascinating as the Tyndall effect formed by the light.
These light beams outlined a complex, obscure and mysterious summoning array on the ground, emitting a faint aura of power.
A strong wind blew, and a figure slowly emerged from the beam of light.
The man was as strong as a mountain. Under the simple leather armour were a broad chest and strong arms. His expression was firm and calm, and he would not change his expression even in a storm.
"Macken Sallyton greets you, my lord!"
With a loud voice and a respectful attitude, the man summoned by the magic circle slapped his left chest heavily with his right hand and performed a standard knight's salute to Ronin.
"It's nice to meet you, Mikan, but our situation isn't very good right now."
As soon as Roning finished speaking, the group of guards who had stabbed him in the back caught up with him.
They looked at the strange blond man in front of them in astonishment, unable to understand why a person appeared in the forest in less than ten seconds.
"Who are you?"
The leader of the backstabbers looked at McKen warily, the uneasiness in his heart growing stronger.
McKen sensed the intentions of this group. He flipped his left hand, took up the shield, and drew the long sword from his waist at the same time: "Anyone who dares to harm the master must step over my body first!"
Roning, who was standing one step behind McCann, stared at him. He found a small attribute panel appeared on his side with very simple content:
[Macan Saliton]: Primary Knight Earth (0/100) +
It was obvious that Roning could add points to McCann, and what was consumed was energy essence.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents in this battle, he consumed all his energy without thinking too much.
[McCann Sallyton]: Junior Knight (0/100) → (60/100)
McKen was stunned for a moment. He felt that his strength had been greatly enhanced in an instant. The Dou Qi seed in his heart seemed to come alive and was beating very vigorously!
He couldn't help but look back at Luo Ning. He was sure that such an improvement was definitely the work of his master.
The moment he turned around, the betrayers seized the opportunity.
"kill!"
Ronin drew his sword and shouted, "Macken, deal with these traitors!"
"Yes, Master!"
McKen took a step forward, and with his huge explosive force, the dirt on the ground was splashed away, and his figure was incredibly fast.
These traitorous guards were all ordinary people. At most, they caught thieves and beat ordinary people. How could they have ever fought against professional knights?
Mikan was not only a knight but also a knight with natural fighting instincts. In front of him, these traitors were like lambs to be slaughtered.
"puff!"
The long sword pierced through the chest of the fastest backstabber, killing one person instantly!
While drawing his sword, McKen dodged the incoming sword with his agile footwork. At the moment of dodging, he kicked out and kicked the two people who rushed up and sent them flying.
One round of attack crushed the betrayers' momentum.
Before they could react, Macon had drawn his sword, dashed, swept, and slit the throats of two more traitors.
The smell of blood spread through the woods with the wind.
Roning originally thought that he would have to go up and help, but he didn't expect Knight McKen to be so ferocious. He killed three in an instant and kicked down two.
The death of the three traitors broke the defences of the remaining people, and the fear of betrayal by the nobles and knights once again occupied their minds.
All thoughts of escape and resistance had been forgotten by them at this moment. All they could think of was to throw away their swords, then kneel on the ground and wag their tails to Roning like dogs and beg for mercy.
"Please spare my life, sir!"
"Please spare my life, sir!"
The courage to betray just now disappeared in an instant.
"Hehe~"
Roning sneered and ignored the group of traitors, instead giving McKen a thumbs up.
"Knight Macken, your abilities really open my eyes!"
The betrayers turned pale when they heard this. As expected, this cruel man was actually a knight!
They suddenly felt ridiculous for being so naive as to think that the baron had no knights protecting him.
"All this is your gift, master!" McKen stood aside and did not continue killing.
"Master, how are you, Master?"
The servant Chahar stumbled into the woods, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
"Chahar, I have witnessed your loyalty. You have performed well!"
Although Chahar did not provide much help in such a desperate situation, the servant did not betray him and even wanted to rush up to help.
Just for this loyalty, Roning has to give a thumbs up to the other party.
Holding a long sword, he slowly approached the leading traitor. As he watched the other person kneel on the ground, begging for mercy, his eyes were full of coldness.
"You instigated and planned this betrayal, didn't you?"
Luo Ning frowned and said in a cold voice, "What gave you the courage to betray?"
The man didn't dare to look up, his body trembling with fear, "Sir, I didn't expect... I didn't expect you to have a knight with you."
"Oh~"
Ronin let out a long, teasing tone, "If you knew there was a knight, you wouldn't have betrayed me, right?"
"Please spare my life, Sir. I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again!"
"Actually, there is one thing you may not know yet." It was hard to tell whether Roning's voice was filled with joy or anger.
"What?"
The kneeling traitor couldn't help but raise his head. From his perspective, Ronin was taller than ever before, so tall that it suffocated him.
"Actually, I'm a knight too!"
"Even without Mikan, you are still no match for me!"
The sharp sword pierced through the opponent's chest from top to bottom, causing the traitor to open his eyes wide. He probably didn't expect that he would die.
Luo Ning was still a little hesitant about killing. On the one hand, his previous incarnation had never killed anyone, and he was even more so after travelling through time.
But when you come to another world, as a lord, sometimes you have to make choices.
If he had nothing, he would be the one to die today, and the enemy would show no mercy.
Seeing the other person lying in a pool of blood and breathless, Roning's mood fluctuated violently. After all, this was the first time.
But soon, I felt a little more joyful amidst my anxiety and uneasiness because a line of words was jumping into my sight:
["King of Slaughter" achievement achieved, attribute points +10, energy essence +20]
The content of the achievement of King of Killing is to kill any unit. The traitor is an ordinary person, so he is naturally included in this category.
He glanced at the achievement panel, and the achievement of the King of Slaughter had been updated:
[King of Killing]: Kill any level 1 extraordinary unit, rewards: attribute points +30, energy essence +60
"The achievement is indeed advanced in nature, just like when I designed the game system."
The first-level extraordinary units refer to junior knights, junior magicians, and first-level monsters. It is a bit difficult for Ronin to complete this achievement now.
Although he also has the level of a first-level extraordinary person, he has no practical combat experience.
What he just said to the betrayer, "He can fight back even without McCann," was actually a bit of bragging.
If he really took action, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. It would be impossible for him to scare the enemy instantly as McKen did.
He needed time to hone his fighting skills.
Now that he had McCann, he had a teacher.
"Master, you don't need to take care of the rest. Let me take care of it!" McKen volunteered.
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at the remaining five "elite soldiers" who were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
