Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience Chapter 401 - 2: The Flames of War Are Unleashed
"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"
The sharp sound of breaking wind echoed, as a volley of arrows suddenly attacked from behind, catching the Pola family’s army off guard. Instantly, screams resounded, and many soldiers on the outskirts fell.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Pola Knights, realizing what was happening, quickly swung their Cross Swords to regroup and change formation.
The soldiers, who were originally surrounding the adventurers, scattered in all directions and soon assembled into a square battle formation on the plain.
With a cold face, the Pola Knight ca to the front of the formation, glaring ahead.
In front, a hurried sound of hooves echoed continuously, as a battalion of hundreds charged rapidly towards them.
This was a troop of light cavalry, all uniformly dressed in standard tal armor emblazoned with dragon patterns, appearing exceptionally magnificent. Equipped with short crossbows and Cross Swords, they looked formidable under the sunlight.
The Pola Knight shouted sternly: "This is the territory of the Pola family. Who are you? Do you intend to start a war?"
He clearly saw the emblem of Feiyan City on the opponent’s attire. However, Feiyan City had always adopted a reclusive policy over the years. They’ve been capturing adventurers at the border for quite so ti, but Feiyan hadn’t retaliated before.
Because of this, even now when he saw the army from Feiyan City appearing, this knight did not think Feiyan would take real action.
However, clearly, the Pola family’s calculations were wrong this ti.
"Draw your swords!"
A cold voice responded, followed by the resounding chi of tal as the knights on the plain simultaneously drew the Cross Swords from their waists.
When the shimring cold light finally shone on his face, the Pola family’s knight finally awakened.
Yet now it was clearly a bit too late, because in the next mont, the knights of Feiyan City were already pounding onto the Pola family’s troops like a torrent.
"Boom!" A loud crash resounds.
The Pola family’s formation of a hundred was as fragile as paper at this mont, soldiers getting thrown up into the air and down on their horses, the formation was completely broken in an instant.
The Pola Knight was shocked: "Knights!!!"
If it were only ordinary soldiers, they could never bring such a massive impact, but these cavalry were clearly all blessed with Fighting Spirit—a regint entirely composed of knights!
"Whoosh!"
Before this Pola Knight could recover from his shock, the chilling sound of slicing wind arose in his ears, as a Cross Sword shattered the air, aiming straight at him from above.
The Pola Knight instinctively raised his Cross Sword to parry.
He was a veteran knight in the family, his prowess as a Mid-level Knight even having a bit of fa throughout the Jade Land.
Yet at this mont, facing the cold light sweeping towards him, with just a single clash, his Cross Sword was split open. The cold light continued with uninterrupted force, slicing through his throat and windpipe, severing his head entirely.
As the world spun, before consciousness faded, the Pola Knight’s last sight was the gold flash before his eyes.
"Ah!!"
"My hand, my hand!"
"Knights, damn it, they’re all knights!"
"The lord is dead!"
Panic-stricken screams mingled with sounds of slaughter echoed across the plain; a battle had begun here.
No,
To be more precise, it couldn’t be called a battle, but a massacre—a one-sided massacre.
In front of hundreds of knights, the Pola family’s troop had no room for resistance, each falling one after another on the battlefield, eradicated swiftly.
A few minutes later.
The chaotic battlefield suddenly turned silent, and none remained standing among the hundred-plus mbers of the Pola family.
The knights took out handkerchiefs and cleaned the blood off their blades after the slaughter, enemy blood sprayed all around, dyeing their armor crimson.
At this mont, Claude was just recovering from shock.
He and his fellow knights exchanged glances, none of them expecting the situation to suddenly reverse.
Originally, they thought today would turn dire, even preparing to fight desperately. Who would have guessed that suddenly a troop would charge in, annihilating the enemy in an instant?
"That emblem... could it be..." Just then, one companion recognized the emblem on the chest of these troops—a blade burning with flas.
This emblem in Feiyan City only symbolizes one thing: Blood.
"It’s the Blood Knight Order!"
"They’re our people!"
Adventurers were not unfamiliar with the Blood Knight Order, they’ve been established for quite so ti already, mainly training within the city, occasionally assisting the City Guard in security missions, but deploying in formation like this was a first.
At this mont, the leading Blood Knight rode over and asked Claude: "You all, are you okay?"
Claude hurriedly expressed gratitude: "Thank you, sir!"
"If it weren’t for you guys, we’d be dead at the hands of the damned Pola family by now."
The Blood Knight chuckled: "Things like this won’t happen again."
Claude’s heart jumped sharply.
A thought flashed through his mind, regarding the recent rumors about changes in the situation, spreading throughout the city for quite so ti, though never verified.
But at this mont, upon hearing what the Blood Knight said, combined with those city rumors, a bold notion arose in Claude’s mind.
He asked boldly: "Are you saying..."
The Blood Knight nodded, declaring with understated yet emphatic words: "Yes, war has begun."
War... war has begun!
Listening to the Blood Knight’s casual words, Claude couldn’t help but tremble.
It was hard to describe the feeling—fear and nervousness, as the coming of war ans slaughter and death. Within such a broad scope, no individual could stand unscathed.
But more than that, a sense of excitent and anticipation was spreading swiftly.
Those folks up north had bullied them for far too long, nurous adventurers fell victim to their attacks, either being captured into mines for endless digging or sent to unknown places with no trace left...
Today, Claude personally experienced the tactics of these scumbags, if not for the appearance of the Blood Knights, his fate would’ve matched those unfortunate adventurers.
They had tolerated those northern bastards for far too long.
After the brief tension ca an overwhelming sense of excitent, Claude clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "War! War!"
The other adventurers cheered loudly too:
"War! War!"
"War! War!"
...
In September, Wizard Calendar year 10072.
Karina Orendale of Feiyan City formally declared to Henry Orendale of the North.
War!
