BXBX NOVEL Chapter 531: 434, Killing the Bandits_1
As the notification appeared,
1010 Lionheart Knights appeared in front of Fang Hao.
The knights rode on brown horses, stepping out in a magnificent manner.
Upon recognizing the situation, the knights dismounted in unison, took a knee and greeted,”Our respects to you, Lord.”
“Good, welcome to the team.” Then, Fang Hao called out to the distance: “Aseti.”
Aseti quickly walked over. “My Lord.”
“Aseti, these cavaliers are under your command for now. When we go to Lyss City this time, we can’t take so many people. Some need to stay behind to help Fu Lei with the defensive duties,” Fang Hao said.
The group of 1010 knights was not large.
But there were indeed constraints on the number of people going to Lyss City.
If they really approached the city with 1000 well-equipped cavalrymen, alarm bells would likely be raised immediately, with the whole city entering a state of alert.
Even if they announced their identity, they would not be allowed to enter the city with a thousand knights.
Therefore, most of the 1010 knights recruited this time will be left to Fu Lei to perform peripheral patrol tasks.
“Yes, My Lord,” Aseti responded.
Next, he said to the entire team of knights, “Everyone, bring your steeds and gather outside the gate.”
All the knights responded, bringing their horses out of the city.
Fang Hao also began inspecting the Lionheart Knights’ attributes.
[Lionheart Knight (Tier 8)]
[Allegiance: Human]
[Racial Traits: Living creature, Learning]
[Skills: Royal Knight, Unstoppable Steed]
[Innate Skills: Advanced Horseback Riding Mastery, Advanced Halberd Mastery, Advanced Swordsmanship Mastery.]
[Royal Knight]: A cavalry signal corps trained strictly under royal doctrines, familiar with diverse cavalry formations, capable of immediately executing them.
[Unstoppable Steed]: In the mounted state, any slowing effects are reduced by 50%.
(Description: Lionheart Knights, composed of the Kingdom’s most elite knights. They hold high positions, achieve extraordinary feats, uphold the knight’s honor, and adhere to the codes of the Kingdom’s knights.)
The Lionheart Knights only had two skills.
But the Tier 8 attributes combined with mobility and charging abilities of the Royal Cavalry make it a formidable soldier unit.
It could perfectly meet the shortage of cavalry in the territory.
Coming to the outside of the city, he saw Aseti addressing the knights.
Fang Hao didn’t bother them but started crafting equipment for the knights on the side.
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 202 Temple Guardian sets.]
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 202 Thunderblade Halberds.]
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 202 Thunderblade Cloaks.]
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 808 Storm Fine Iron sets.]
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 1010 Thick Leather Horse Masks.]
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 1010 Sturdy White Steel Horse Armor sets.]
[One hundred times enhancement triggered, obtaining 1010 Black Iron Stirrups.]
Fang Hao stood in the open area outside the city, and many pieces of equipment fell from above.
Due to the insufficient amount of fine iron,
he only made 202 Temple Guardian sets; for the rest, he was only able to equip the blue Storm Fine Iron sets.
Apart from the soldiers’ equipment, this time they added equipment for the horses.
The horse armor and horse face masks were obtained quite a while ago but were only created now.
“Aseti!” Fang Hao called.
Aseti rode on the Wind Demon over to him, “My lord.”
“This is the equipment made for the knights. You organize everyone to put them on. After you’re finished, we should set off as soon as possible,” Fang Hao continued.
Their outing this time was to go to Lyss City, and they couldn’t afford too much delay in the middle.
“Yes, My Lord,” Aseti answered and started organizing the knights to distribute the equipment.
The biggest advantage of living soldiers over undead ones is their wisdom.
After the order was issued, the knights voluntarily put the equipment on their horses and picked up their own weapons and gear.
Half an hour later,
The knights, escorting the vehicles, set off again.
…
A fishing village in the south.
Fu Lei stood at the entrance of the village, looking sternly at a group of individuals across from him.
“What is your intention? You’ve been causing trouble here again and again. Do you think we’re easy targets, bullying us as you please?” Fu Lei said coldly.
Across from Fu Lei and the villagers was a bandit group composed of humans and orcs.
These bandits’ weapons were a hodgepodge of cleavers, machetes, sticks, even wooden forks – they had it all.
These people only came here recently.
At first, they just robbed the fishermen of the goods they fished up.
Now that their number of bandits have increased to over 300, they not only rob things but have damaged many fishing boats and tools over these last two days.
This has made the fishermen afraid to go out and work, and Fu Lei has had to bring troops over to deal with this situation.
When he came, he wasn’t aware of the bandits’ numbers and brought only 50 heavy sword infantry and 100 militias.
Also, the village guards from the village gathered nearly 300 people, almost equaling the number of bandits.
The situation was stuck in a stalemate.
The leader of the bandits was a human, a bulky figure with a scar on his face and a thick beard.
After sizing up Fu Lei, he said, “Boy, are there no adults in your home who let you come out to make a stand? Don’t piss your pants if a real fight breaks out.”
Ha ha ha!
As soon as the bandit leader finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from behind him.
Fu Lei was still a school student. Even though he had been helping the fishermen with their work recently, he still looked much younger.
