Chapter 541: Fallen Leaf Sect Dann, Fallen Leaf Fighting Technique!
Ensis City is the hub connecting the Cemetery Plain and the Shadow Altar behind it. It is more like a complex checkpoint than a city.

After crossing the Ailax Bridge, there is an open space full of soldiers' tents in front of you, and further ahead is the city of Ensis.

"Pfft-"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was heard, and Leida thrust the sword in her hand out and then retracted it, and the soldier in front of her fell to the ground.

This was the last enemy nearby, and it was the only one that escaped the heavy firepower bombing of Li You and his men nearby. There were other soldiers who were attracted by the previous explosion, but they had all been wiped out.

Leida wiped the blood off the golden sword, then looked at Li You: "There is no need to waste time with these ordinary soldiers, just go directly into Ensis City."

Li You also agreed with her opinion. Although V's response when breaking through the bridge was handsome, it also attracted other soldiers in the barracks here, so everyone was involved in the battle.

Now that they had finally dealt with the nearby soldiers, they had to move forward as quickly as possible. Because the road here was narrow, Li You naturally gave up the vehicle and everyone moved forward on foot.

After passing through the military camp, a relatively short stone bridge can be seen in front of us. A mountain goblin knight wearing a gorgeous helmet and carrying a giant sword inlaid with blue pyroxene is guarding the other end of the bridge. Behind him, built on the mountain, is the city of Ensis.

All the buildings in Ensis City are built against the natural mountain pass. The city towers and cliffs are staggered, leaving only a rugged upward road. Walking on this road, you can hear the gurgling sound of waterfalls coming from all around.

The defense facilities of the Ensis City Checkpoint are actually very complete, but unfortunately the defensive force is insufficient. Even with a Kalia goblin knight guarding it, it is obviously unable to stop the forced breakthrough of Li You and his party, plus Leida.

"Roar--!!"

The Mountain Goblin Knight raised his giant sword and shook it, summoning three blue magic giant swords, which floated above his head and shoulders, ready to go. Then, he raised his sword and strode towards Li You and his companions!

Facing the roaring troll knight who was running wildly with his sword raised, Leida shook the sword in her hand without hesitation. A circle of light golden flying swords appeared above the troll knight's head and pierced into his helmet. The pain made the troll tremble and his steps naturally paused.

Immediately afterwards, Pandora's rocket exploded above his head. As the flames rose and disturbed his vision, Yuzu had already rushed forward, raised the dragon hunting axe and chopped it hard on the ankle of the goblin knight!
"laugh--"

The body of the mountain goblin was relatively dry, but when Yuzu swung his axe, blood still spurted out of the withered body. The magic giant sword floating above the mountain goblin knight's head automatically locked onto the enemy and flew towards Yuzu, but was completely blocked by the dragon hunting shield.

Li You was the last to attack, and he showed off the Black Knight Axe. This axe not only has special attacks against demons, but its design is also very suitable for fighting large enemies.

So Li You rushed forward quickly and jumped up with great effort!

However, the Mountain Goblin Knight also slowed down at this time, and he immediately swung the giant sword in his hand and swept towards Li You. But a magic array instantly condensed under Li You's feet, pushing him up another level in the air, and then the axe fell!

"Pfft——!!"

After Li You jumped high, the Black Knight's axe fell heavily on the Mountain Goblin Knight with the force of splitting a mountain, cutting a horrible wound on his body from his left shoulder to his right waist!

"Roar……!"

The Goblin Knight cried out in pain, but was no longer able to resist. His powerless body fell heavily onto the bridge he was guarding.

"Boom!!"

The mountain goblin knight fell, and Leida put away her sword. Along the way, she rarely took action, and spent more time observing Li You and his men.

She has roughly judged the fighting power of Li You, V, and Youzi. They are all very powerful, but in her opinion, the threat they pose to her is limited - in case the two sides end up becoming hostile.

As for the last person besides the three of them, judging from her aura, her strength should be a little weaker, but...

"call out--"

Edge, who had been staying behind, suddenly showed a change of expression, and then he quickly bent his bow and drew his arrow, and the dragon-hunting arrow flew out!

The spear-like arrow flew forward and instantly pierced through a magician wearing a stone mask who walked out of the city defense tower at the other end of the bridge, and nailed him to the wall behind him.

Edge put down his bow: "There are no other enemies around here."

Li You nodded: "Okay, I'll leave the vigilance to you."

"no problem."

Leida watched silently and completed her assessment of Edge: a very professional scout.

After defeating the Goblin Knight, Li You picked up the door-like giant sword that he dropped, intending to burn the spiral sword later.

But at the same time, he was also a little curious: "Why are there Kalia's mountain goblin knights and magicians from the magic academy here? It can't be a branch of the magic academy, right?"

If Li You had gone to the Kalia Castle where Lani was before, he would have encountered another goblin knight who was in charge of guarding a key place - just like the one who was just knocked down.

Leida answered his question: "That's because the owner of this castle was the former Princess Kalia, the 'Double Moon Knight' Lailana."

Li You: "?"

Who? Laelana?
What is her relationship with the Full Moon Queen Lenara?
Leida saw his confusion and explained: "It's just as you think. Lailana is Lenara's sister."

Li You: “…Ah?”

"In the past, Laylana was a princess of Kalia, but she abandoned her family and chose to stay with Queen Marica's son, Mr. Messermo, and followed him to join this holy war."

Leida continued to explain, "She is inseparable from Mr. Messermo. I don't know when it started, but 'Messermo's Sword' became her nickname. And this Knight of the Two Moons now guards the city of Ensis."

This was not the first time Li You had heard the name Messermo. This name had appeared in the previous conversation between Freya and the Horned Man.

Li You was not surprised that Queen Marika had another unknown son. He was more curious about who the father of this new demigod was and why he had no name in the main game content?
Although he understood this very well, at the moment, the answer to the question was probably closely related to the "holy war" that was repeatedly mentioned.

But that was a story for later. The person standing in front of them now was the Twin Moon Knight Laylana that Leida had mentioned, so Li You said, "Then let's go meet her."

Leida nodded: "Let's go, I will lead the way."

Of course, Li You also thought of one thing at the same time: Since Lailana is the sister of the Full Moon Queen, then she is Lani's aunt?

If you round it off, they are also family members?
Then maybe there is no need to fight to the death...

But Li You thought again, this Lailana had left the Kalia royal family for that Messermo, and she might not show mercy because of Lani.

"Come to think of it, is the Kalia royal family a family of love-minded people? The Full Moon Queen is one, and the Twin Moon Knight is another? Even Lani can be considered half a love-minded person..."

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't hold back. How come all the women in the Kalia royal family were infatuated? Was it engraved in their DNA?

Although Li You was thinking wildly, the group was not idle. Leida led the way in front, and Li You and others cooperated. They quickly passed through the passage between the mountain passes, circled up, and finally arrived in front of the checkpoint of Ensis City. As for the few guards on the road, they were naturally sent away. When they came to the top, the main gate of the checkpoint of Ensis City came into view.

The entrance to this level is a wooden gate. In front of the gate stands a knight wearing black armor and holding a black iron hammer and a large shield, with some soldiers supporting him from behind.

But the first thing everyone looked at was not the guards, but the shining cross next to the wooden gate.

"Found another one." Li You compared it with the map in his memory and had an idea in mind.

At the same time, through Leida's explanation, Li You also learned that the knight in black armor in front and those soldiers in black chain mail were all subordinates of Messemo and the backbone of the Crusade Army back then.

"...They are called the Black Knights," Leida said finally.

"Black Knight? Are they worthy of this?" Upon hearing this, Li You sneered, "I don't approve of this title."

As he spoke, he drew out the Black Knight's axe and prepared to move forward.

Come, come, let me show you what weapons the real Black Knight uses.

But at this moment, a man in a brown robe and a unique wide-brimmed hat suddenly jumped down from the top of the nearby city wall.

He leaped and landed behind the Black Knight of Messemo. Some kind of energy gathered in his hands and legs, which was quickly released as he punched and kicked!
"No! No! No!"

The man's attacks were extremely fast, and although he appeared to be unarmed and had no decent protective gear, he was able to easily break through the shields of the Messermo soldiers and pull out the people in the back to fight.

The soldiers behind the knight were taken care of with just three punches and two kicks. When the Black Iron Knight turned around, none of his men were left standing.

“Uhhhhhh——!!”

The Black Iron Knight also growled upon seeing this, and charged forward with his shield raised, as if he wanted to take advantage of the unarmed man.

However, the man just stood still, raised one hand, gently held it in front of him, and began to gather strength.

Li You and the others were very familiar with the power flowing through him.

"Is that... energy?" V asked in surprise.

"Very similar, but also different. His energy is much stronger." Edge has a better understanding of energy and his judgment is more accurate.

"The method of use is also slightly different." Li You finally said, "The output power is much higher than that of Qi."

As he spoke, the Black Iron Knight had already rushed in front of the man, and the man had already finished accumulating strength.

Facing the black knight charging at him with his shield raised, he suddenly pushed his right hand forward!
The air with a faint golden glow then condensed into a ball, flew out along his arm, and immediately exploded after hitting the Black Iron Knight's shield!

"boom--!!"

The energy released by the man achieved an almost explosive effect, and the energy flowed, instantly lifting the Black Iron Knight's huge shield!

The Black Iron Knight's defense was wide open, and the man quickly stepped forward and launched a series of violent blows. There was a faint glow on his fists and feet, and the sound of "swoosh" was endless. Soon, the Black Iron Knight's armor was dented and he collapsed completely, unable to get up again.

After the combo ended, the man raised his fist, and there was no wound at all.

Then he looked at Li You and others.

Li You's companions immediately became slightly alert, but Leida said, "Don't be nervous, this is also our companion, his name is Dane."

"He has served Lady Mikaela for much longer than I have. He is a meticulous person, an outstanding martial artist, and a trustworthy companion. Apart from never speaking, he is excellent in other aspects."

Then, Leida walked forward, nodded to Dane, and asked, "How is it going?"

As expected, Dann didn't say anything, but handed a letter to Leida. The letter paper was exactly the same as the one Li You got and Kara left behind.

Leida took the letter, read it carefully, and then understood: "So that's it."

She then turned to Li You and the others and said, "Just as you and Ampah guessed, Lady Michaela's destination is the gate of God in the tower sealed by the shadow. And we have to burn the sealed tree to reach that place. To burn the tree, we need fire."

Li You: Ah?

Burning trees again?

Do you have giant cauldrons of fire and the flames of doomed death in your shadowy land?
However, Leida did not explain in depth. After she exchanged a few words with Dann, Dann nodded, then his figure flashed, and with a few leaps, he disappeared on the other side of the level.

"Dan has other things to investigate, so he won't be joining us." Leida explained simply, "I'll leave a letter here for the others, and then we'll go find the mechanism to open the door."

Li You said, "Is Mr. Dane a fighter? There are indeed all kinds of people among the companions following Master Michaela."

Hearing this, Leida stopped what she was doing and looked over. "I forgot to mention this before. You also met my companions. I think you must be surprised. Everyone's background is very different. It's not surprising even if there is a conflict."

“It was originally like this, but now, we are all deeply attracted to Lady Michaela, and because of this, we can work together with each other - this is truly a miracle.

"As for Mr. Dann, he is a monk of the Fallen Leaf Sect. He is indeed good at fighting and the use of Qi."

Leida looked at Li You and the others and said, "I see that you seem to be very interested in his fighting skills. This is a coincidence. Dann has always welcomed competitions between companions. Next time you meet, you can try to invite him."

"Oh?" Li You's eyebrows moved. "Then I'd like to learn from you if I have a chance."

That's enough of the small talk. Leida quickly finished writing the letter for her companions and placed it next to the cross sign in front of the level. Li You lit up the blessing next to it, as if it was a teleportation point.

"Let's find out how to open this door." Leida looked at the path on the other side of the door. "From here we should be able to..."

“Hey——!!”

A shout interrupted her words. Leida turned her head and was shocked to find that Yuzu had thrown down his axe and shield, and walked forward and pulled hard, lifting the entire wooden gate!
Leida: “!?”

"Roar--!!"

Yuzu roared with all his strength, and with both hands holding the wooden gate, he pulled the right half of the gate off, leaving a large hole that was completely accessible. Although they had not yet found the mechanism to open the gate, the way forward was clear.

Li You immediately turned around and looked at Leida who was very surprised, and said with a smile: "No need to bother, let's just go."
