Magic Industrial Age

With the Kingdom Knights escorting them, the journey afterward was much smoother.

Even though they were traveling within the territory ruled by the Carlisle family, where almost all nobles were loyal to the Carlisle family,

no noble dared to take action now!

They had all witnessed the miserable state of Baron Wild Boar, and besides, two hundred Wyvern Knights could directly crush them.

However, if you thought the danger was gone?

Then you could only be described as too naive!

With direct attacks gone, Loya experienced three assassinations.

The first time was by Gray Mist Assassins, who came in three waves, using 'distraction' tactics to lure away Commander Sike, Knight Astelle, and Oliveira.

And the one who finally made the move was Hector Hunt, or rather, a Gray Mist Assassin disguised as Hector Hunt, who approached Loya.

Unfortunately, under the 'Deadly Danger' talent, Loya saw through his disguise, attacked directly, and killed him on the spot!

Because it was Hector Hunt who was killed, the mercenaries almost turned against Loya, until the real Hector appeared, resolving the misunderstanding.

The second assassination attempt occurred when they were passing through a city, and they encountered a Hell Bard.

After spending a long time camping in the wild, everyone was exhausted, and their supplies were almost depleted.

So, when passing through a city called 'Carodo', they discussed it and chose to enter the city for a day of rest.

For safety's sake, Commander Sike led a group to enter first, randomly picked a hotel, and then booked the entire place, clearing out all outsiders.

Immediately afterward, the others entered the city one after another.

Those who wanted to bathe bathed, those who wanted to eat and drink ate and drank, those who wanted to rest rested, and those who wanted to replenish supplies replenished supplies.

After some rest, they relieved some of the fatigue from the days of travel.

Until evening, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby, and Commander Sike ordered a drink for each person, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

It was also at this time that a real bard arrived.

He had handsome and weathered eyes, an expression that was gloomy yet full of smiles, and exuded an aura of laziness and fatigue.

His singing voice was full of stories, and even a soft hum could make people intoxicated.

His flute music was melodious and winding, as if telling a story in a娓娓道來的 way, able to make people recall the saddest things and shed tears.

His appearance even captivated the entire hotel, making them mesmerized and unable to extricate themselves.

Loya, too, was the same!

Only Oliveira, with a will as firm as steel, was unaffected, and stood in front of the bard with his sword.

His fighting spirit surged around him, his eyes were like blades, staring coldly, saying nothing and doing nothing.

Oliveira allowed the bard to play, only staring at him, and eventually, the bard retreated.

Afterward, Loya looked through the ancient scrolls left by the Raymond family and discovered that this was a very rare Hell Chanter!

Hell Chanter is both a profession and represents a Hell Bard.

Legend has it that the one who could be called the envoy of hell on earth traveled the continent as a bard, and when he played his flute, he could even directly take away the souls of all mortals in the entire city.

His power and terror were well-known in the Old Continent!

The Church of the Sun God had sent many strong men to encircle and suppress him, but the final result was always inconclusive.

It was unknown whether they won or suffered heavy losses, but that Hell Bard almost never appeared again.

Instead, a rare profession, Hell Chanter, appeared in the eyes of the great nobles.

They are good at music, and with their singing and flute playing, they can make people fall into extremely sad emotions, thereby losing their ability to resist.

Although this profession is rumored among bards, and only bards can take the job, no one knows the specific method of inheritance.

The number is so small that it is almost invisible!

But who would have thought that this time, they would be invited by some people to assassinate Loya.

Unfortunately, although Hell Chanters are powerful, they are most afraid of warriors with steely wills.

They have experienced countless battles, and their wills are already like steel, and even life and death will not move them.

Not to mention, just emotional fluctuations!

If there are such warriors, coupled with sufficient strength, then they are the nemesis of Hell Chanters.

Their power is still based on a specific environment. If they really lose their singing and flute playing, you can't expect them to fight warriors in close combat!

Therefore, the Hell Chanter retreated after realizing that Oliveira did not take a step back.

The reason why Oliveira didn't chase was because he was afraid that this was another 'distraction' tactic. After all, Loya now has no ability to protect himself.

Even Loya felt lingering fear after this attack!

Indeed, the transcendent development of this world has been going on for so many years, and there are all kinds of strange abilities. It is really difficult to say that you can definitely take care of everything.

However, in terms of danger, the third time was the most dangerous!

Because this time, the one who took action was a Fourth Order powerhouse.

That was a Catastrophe-level being supported by the McKinley family, a Fourth Order Wanderer who awakened Wind-type fighting spirit, known as 'Hurricane'.

Although nobles have resources, no one dares to say that a powerhouse will be born in every generation, so almost every family will deeply bind themselves to some famous cultivation geniuses.

First, they provide resources to exchange for force, and when the genius shows a high enough talent, they will bind the other party to the family through marriage, titles, and territories.

This is the way that nobles have dealt with geniuses and powerhouses for thousands of years, and it has been tried and tested.

And for those geniuses, doing so is not a loss!

After all, without these resources, their cultivation speed would be much slower, and without their leadership, it would not be easy to get into the noble circle.

This is a win-win situation!

For example, that Half-Giant Bane has a deep relationship with the Norman family, and that is why he was dispatched by Grand Duchess Afra.

And this Hurricane Higgins is a powerhouse supported by the McKinley family.

He has taken action, and no one would believe it if they said that it was not instigated by the McKinley family.

However, this one ultimately has the arrogance of a Fourth Order, and did not act secretly, nor did he hide his tracks, but directly rushed over, driving a tornado.

It was also this time that Loya witnessed the true strength of the top Knight Order.

Astelle led the two hundred Kingdom Knights and directly activated the power of the aura, with a full five fighting spirits released, connected, and linked all the knights' auras together.

You must know that these knights are not the watery goods of the Wild Boar Knight Order, and none of them are below the Second Order, all of them are official knights.

Although they cannot release their fighting spirits, they have become a whole under the connection of the fighting spirits of the five transcendent powerhouses.

Then, these fighting spirits gathered and were used by Astelle.

A fighting spirit slash, although it was just a pure fighting spirit slash, but under the exaggerated quantity, it was actually tens of meters long, showing the power of dividing the world.

Even the Fourth Order powerhouse's tornado was split in half.

The gathering of the power of two hundred people actually threatened a Catastrophe-level powerhouse. Loya was both surprised and felt it was natural.

The Knight Order can deter the continent for a reason.

However, relying on the Kingdom Knight Order alone is obviously not enough to stop Hurricane Higgins. He is alone and has high flexibility.

As long as he is unwilling to confront head-on, the Kingdom Knight Order can't do anything to him.

And facing a highly mobile Catastrophe-level powerhouse, Loya's magic energy cannon was also ineffective.

Without the coverage of the fire saturation state, the magic energy cannon may not even be able to deal with the Third Order, let alone the Fourth Order Catastrophe.

Reluctantly, Oliveira and Sike Francis greeted him, and the five transcendent beings in the Kingdom Knight Order also drove their Wyverns forward.

This battle was a full seven transcendent beings besieging one Fourth Order.

Even so, Loya was still helping from the side, using the long-range sniper rifle he got from Teacher Gary Mills, coupled with armor-piercing bullets.

Taking a cold shot when he had the chance, even the Fourth Order had to be careful.

More importantly, with him there, this Hurricane Higgins always had to spare some thought.

In this way, the pressure on Oliveira and the others would be greatly reduced!

Furthermore, this Hurricane Higgins was actually a bit hesitant to attack. He didn't care about Oliveira and Sike Francis,

but he couldn't ignore Astelle and the other four transcendent knights.

Especially Astelle, behind her was still a Half-Giant Bane. If he really made a ruthless move, that Half-Giant Bane would definitely fight him to the death.

Besides, the four transcendent knights each had a bunch of entanglements behind them. He also had to hang out in the Norman Duchy, and he would have a headache if he saw them.

In this way, the battlefield showed a bit of a stalemate.

Loya even directly detached from the convoy, constantly looking for cover and shooting points, and taking cold shots when he had the chance.

During this process, he also discovered it.

If it wasn't that Earth-type Oath Knight who was chasing Oliveira at the beginning, but this one, Oliveira would definitely not be able to escape.

That Oath Knight, strong is strong, but speed and flight are weaknesses.

This one, with a hurricane roll, flies extremely fast. Oliveira can't do anything to him, and Loya actually can't either.

This battle was finally ended by the intervention of another Fourth Order powerhouse, a swordsman who awakened Fire-type fighting spirit forcefully intervened.

When Hurricane Higgins left, six of the seven transcendent beings were already paralyzed on the ground. The only one standing was Oliveira.

He finally calmed the 【God's Sigh · Behemoth Heartbeat】 that was about to be activated, and silently watched the departing Catastrophe, his expression inexplicable.

You think this is the end?

In fact, from that day on, although no one came to disturb the convoy's progress, there were often violent fighting spirit and magic fluctuations around the convoy.

In the corners that everyone couldn't see, those people's fights have been more than once or twice.

Obviously, the original assassination has turned into a fight between two camps!

So much so that Loya was a little flattered, thinking that this was too much?

But a word from the pretty girl Eva solved his confusion.

"Instead of letting the young master reach Oser City and then change, it is better to use assassination methods to let you die on the road."

"This is the least costly way."

"As for developing into the current Fourth Order melee, you are just a fuse. The real reason is the accumulation and outbreak of conflicts between the two sides."

However, in any case, after a journey of twenty days, they finally arrived at the end of this trip.

Oser City, here we are!

Phew, it's a bit late, it's past twelve o'clock, sorry!
