Chapter 140: Chapter 116: So This Is the Charge of the Knight!

"Clop... clop... clop..."

Lin Ke urged the Gula cattle beneath him forward, followed by his People’s Knight Order.

The Gula cattle were clad in specially made leather armor, which provided some defense without restricting movement.

He wore a helmet with magic fluctuations, and his armor was both lightweight and sturdy, as was his sword.

Behind him were followers, and after the followers was the People’s Knight Order.

Following the People’s Knight Order were other Azanen Guards.

These guards started out just as guards but were later split by Lin Ke into three teams: archers, swordsmen, and spearmen.

These three teams were small, each with over two hundred men, making up infantry and ranged forces.

This was all that was left of Azanen’s forces.

Most other nobles of Azanen had no decent troops, and retraining them was too laborious.

So Lin Ke had those troops engage in odd tasks, selecting some to join the team formed by Azanen Castle Guards.

Following Azanen were the noble guards of other nobles, standing ready at the wall corners to support Lin Ke at any time.

"A few minutes more..." Lin Ke estimated, noting that the time reported by Count Akel’s men half an hour ago was nearing.

Lin Ke gripped a lightweight iron sword, which bore level two magic fluctuations, and his armor was merely ordinary iron, not breathable, but it was thankfully autumn and not too hot.

Before them in the distance, the Great Swamp was already faintly visible.

The stretch from north of the Great Swamp to the Great Wall was rather desolate, with almost no grass growing on the land.

But at the start of the Great Swamp, it became lush and vibrant, with jungles and thickets everywhere, and the distant hills were also green.

Yet at this moment, it was evident that there was movement in the jungle.

The treetops were shaking, and even the earth was trembling, indicating a large mass was moving.

The wild beast horde was coming!

"Prepare!"

Lin Ke tightened his grip on his sword hilt, feeling a bit nervous, a slight sweat breaking out on his palm.

Luckily, he’d followed the old soldier’s advice, binding his palm and the sword hilt with strips of cloth to prevent the sword from slipping.

At this moment, Lamiel seemed to notice everyone’s tension, and as he sat astride the Gula cattle, his energy suddenly boiled.

He let out a piercing howl, then began to recite in a fluctuating and impassioned tone:

"Azaenn, oh, beautiful Azaenn!

Noble princess sang love songs here;

The young Lion King rose here!

Eternal summer still sets up the Great Wall,

Even the sun cannot make everything languish..."

Lamiel’s voice rose and fell, waves of professional power were transmitted through his voice, his tone alternated between highs and lows, delicacy and grandeur.

In just two minutes, he finished chanting a short poem.

[Minstrel] Lamiel’s skill—Victory Hymn!

Poem title—"The Rising Intensity of Azaenn."

This was Lamiel’s latest creation since becoming Lin Ke’s follower, replacing the original Victory Hymn poem.

"So hot!"

Just as Lamiel finished his chant, Lin Ke felt a surge of scholar’s power and knight’s power within his body, continuously and steadily.

At the same time, he could feel his muscles expanding and his body becoming more agile and coordinated.

Lamiel’s skill increased his rate of professional power recovery, physical strength, and agility!

Lin Ke felt he was a mere level three [Scholar], yet possessed the strength of a level four [Scholar]!

Magnificent!

Lamiel truly deserved to be a level ten [Minstrel], the buffs were fantastic!

Lin Ke’s palms no longer sweated, his grip on the sword hilt stronger.

Despite being a level three [Scholar] and level three [Knight], he was only six years old physically.

"Awesome! Lamiel, I love you!" Lolita cheered, bursting with excitement.

The girl wielded two spiked war hammers, her face flushed, her strength continuously bursting forth.

Lamiel smiled slightly, with a charm unique to middle-aged men, leaving Knicks beside him dumbfounded.

Lamiel looked so handsome! I want to learn! Knicks thought to himself.

"Young master, you just charge, leave the rest to me." At this moment, Butler Billy was skillfully riding the Gula cattle, his voice directly reaching Lin Ke’s ears.

Butler Billy had once been by Garoce’s side, even entrusting his only bloodline to Butler Billy’s protection.

It was evident that Butler Billy possessed true skills.

Under the mutual influence of Lamiel, Lolita, and Butler Billy, Lin Ke’s initially tense heart calmed down.

He looked toward the distant jungle, and the beasts were charging out already!

Beasts, they were all beasts!

Without any magic power fluctuations, just all beasts.

However, Lin Ke did not relax one bit.

For there were too many beasts!

Lions, tigers, leopards, buffaloes, wild boars, birds...

Countless animals surged out of the jungle like a tide, sweeping across the sky.

Roughly counted, there are nearly ten thousand!

The beasts charged with a certain rhythm, not in panic, but purposefully heading straight for Lin Ke and their team’s side.

Seeing this, Lin Ke took a deep breath, and when the time was right, he raised his sword high and shouted, "People’s Knight Order, charge with me!!!"

Lamiel followed with a long howl, as if echoing Lin Ke’s words, and everyone was stirred up with excitement.

Lin Ke urged his Gula Bull forward, a thin aerodynamic shield forming on him and the bull.

Skill—Aerodynamic Pressure Shield!

At the same time, another of Lin Ke’s bloodlines, the "Leader" bloodline, began to glow faintly, continually channeling energy into Lin Ke’s body.

[Knight] Skill—Charge!

In recent times, Lin Ke had not made much progress in [Scholar], but he had advanced to level three in [Knight], reaching parity with [Scholar].

And he had carved the "Charge" skill in his first skill slot.

During this time, he had never slackened in his training.

[Scholar] relies best on meditation, while the best return for advancing a [Knight] lies in training and combat.

Every day was filled with training, meditation, handling castle affairs, and managing the Great Wall project.

Thus, what others achieved in a year or two, Lin Ke accomplished in just a few months.

Like Laplace, who is only a level three [Mathematician] now!

"Awoo! Charge! Charge charge charge!"

Following Lin Ke’s command and Lamiel’s howl, there came Lolita’s strange shout.

Originally, Lolita’s main profession was [Charming Beauty], reaching as high as level eight, even higher than Butler Billy.

However, it was heard that the feedback method for [Charming Beauty] is somewhat special, a bit mature in nature.

And after taking on the [Knight] role, Lolita completely devoted herself to supporting the [Knight], abandoning the [Charming Beauty] profession.

"Vast... horizon..." At this moment, Sophie was also trying to imitate Lamiel by using her singing to boost everyone’s morale.

She was employed as a [Singer].

[Minstrel] focuses on poetry recitation, while [Singer] focuses on singing.

However, she was too nervous, and the energy channeled from her bloodline couldn’t harmonize with her voice, causing her to be interrupted after only two sentences.

"Little Sophie, just try a few more times." Lamiel was beside Sophie, comforting her.

Just as Sophie was about to say something, Lin Ke let out a shout, "Prepare!"

These words immediately snapped everyone to attention, and they all gripped their weapons tightly.

Meanwhile, Butler Billy, just one position behind Lin Ke, suddenly stood up on the bull’s back, straight and steady without a hint of shaking.

Butler Billy opened his arms, and streams of invisible energy shot out from his ten fingers, connecting with each member of the People’s Knight Order.

[Butler] Skill—Coordination!

In an instant, what previously appeared as a ragtag group of knights became a spear thrusting forward!

They were dispersed before, but now they had become a cohesive entity!

The reason they were known as the battlefield kings of Naseng until now was that when the knight order charges, they can coalesce into a single entity.

In battlefield terms, their function was equivalent to a heavily armored tank, but with super-fast speed!

By now, they were very close to the beasts.

Once Lin Ke and the knights’ power behind him merged, he shouted again, "Charge!"

All [Knight] profession’s first skill, Charge!

"Boom!!!"

In the People’s Knight Order, the [Knights] instantaneously unleashed all their energy, forming a shockwave.

Butler Billy centrally regulated it, forming an unrivaled force.

With Lin Ke as the spearhead, the entire People’s Knight Order plunged into the beast tide.

The entire beast tide seemed like Gula cheese, while the People’s Knight Order was akin to a divine artifact dagger enveloped in Phoenix flame.

Flesh was instantly sliced open, and the scorching blood covered the ground.

In one encounter, the entire beast tide was split into two by Lin Ke’s People’s Knight Order.

As for Lin Ke...

At this time, the energy on Lin Ke’s body and the energy of the bull under him merged together.

The knight and the steed were one.

Amidst a flurry of flesh and blood, Lin Ke could only use the pressure shield to protect his head and vital areas, while his arm wielded the iron sword.

The flanks also featured two thin aerodynamic blades to slice the beasts.

Armor was covered with beast eyeballs, intestines, innards, and mixed blood, among other things.

The most abundant was still flesh and blood.

Bloodthirsty, hazy, howling.

Lin Ke, at that moment, forgot everything, but the notion of charging forward.

In the Soul Space, the "Leader" bloodline glowed faintly, and the [Knight] profession continued to supply Lin Ke with vast energy to support his "Charge".

Moreover...

Lin Ke felt he was one step closer to reaching level four [Knight].

[Knight] Charge doesn’t get trained on training grounds; it’s trained through flying flesh and blood!
