Chapter Seven, The Longwind Knight

"Xue Ying, you can rest assured. With the physique of the Six-Armed Serpent Demon, such a level of injury will heal in a month or two." Tong San remained very calm; they had long been accustomed to walking on the edge of life and death. "By the way, Zong Ling, how did you get such serious injuries? You took an entire battalion of soldiers with you. Is the leader of the Curved Blade Alliance really that formidable?"

It is time to discuss these matters with you. "Zong Ling said, "After all, the affairs of the Snow Eagle Territory will ultimately be entrusted to you.

Now, regardless of them, once my strength is sufficient, I will definitely eliminate this malignant tumor

The resounding sound of the bronze triad echoed nearby. In the entire Yuxian County, there are only four Meteor Knights and one Meteor-level Grand Mage! Among the bandits, there is only the leader of the Curved Blade Alliance. This time, the leader of the Curved Blade Alliance was injured and witnessed the power of the Starbreaker Crossbow... It is estimated that he will not dare to take risks again. Because next time, we will be even better prepared. The Curved Blade Alliance does not dare to attack, and the other bandits are even less likely to come.

Changfeng Academy recruits boys no older than ten years old! This age is full of potential for development, especially during the period of physical growth. It is the most critical moment for knight training; some who develop early may experience significant growth spurts by the age of ten. Therefore, the academy's decision to set the age limit at 'ten years' is not without reason.

Changfeng Academy is the most powerful force in Anyang Province! The president is the most formidable existence in the province!

Dong Bo Xue Ying felt a wave of fear. Uncle Zong was struck by three blades; had luck been less favorable or if the battle had lasted a bit longer, he might have lost his life

Hmm. Dongbo Xueying let out a sigh

Snow Eagle, you can rest assured

Dong Bo Xue Ying's eyes turned red from listening

"Zong Shu, are you alright?" Dong Bo Xue Ying observed closely; Zong Shu had changed into a clean white robe, appearing to have no visible injuries, but his complexion was pale

Dong Bo Xue Ying nodded

I have thought for a long time and have made a decision said Dong Bo Xue Ying

At that time, when I rushed over to trace the tracks of the bandits, I never expected that the leader of the Curved Blade Alliance, the evil chief 'Gai Bin', was hiding alone in the slaughtered village and suddenly launched a surprise attack on me. "Zong Ling sighed, "At that moment, we were caught off guard, and the three hundred soldiers were somewhat disordered; I could only hold him off first.

These damned bandits! What have those civilians done to provoke them

Dong Bo Xue Ying felt a tremor in his heart, spitting out blood. Was it an internal injury

"By the way, Xueying, have you made up your mind about the matters concerning Changfeng Academy?" Zong Ling suddenly asked

Dongbo Xueying fell silent

Dong Bo Xue Ying is also very aware of the destructive power of his family's Broken Star Crossbow. His father and the others initially equipped five hundred Broken Star Crossbows

In terms of strength, among Father, Uncle Tong, and Uncle Zong, Uncle Zong is the strongest. Although he is also merely a Heavenly Tier Knight, he belongs to the royal family of the Serpent People! As a Six-Armed Serpent Demon, he possesses great power, and during combat, he can attack with all six arms simultaneously. Moreover, the presence of his serpent tail allows for greater agility and swiftness in his movements. Therefore, even when facing opponents of a higher tier, such as Meteor Knights, he can endure for a certain period.

Zong Ling smiled and said, "The leader of the Curved Blade Alliance is indeed formidable. If it weren't for the alchemical inner armor protecting me this time, I might have truly lost my life... cough, cough, cough..." As he spoke, he began to cough, covering his mouth with one of the handkerchiefs beside him. The white handkerchief quickly turned red as blood spread across it.

This, this ... ...

The depths of the destroyed mountains are too dangerous

I received news that a battalion of three hundred soldiers, all mounted and armed with crossbows, rushed over, but over five hundred civilians had already been killed and plundered.

"As a Meteor Knight, what is he doing that is not good? Why become a bandit?" Dong Bo Xue Ying said

"Xue Ying!" beside him, Tong San said anxiously, "This Changfeng Academy is the foremost university in the Anyang Province and also the most powerful force. It is much stronger than your mother's Mo Yang family! The head of Changfeng Academy, the 'Changfeng Knight' Chi Qiubai, is the strongest in the entire province... Your qualifications and abilities give you a solid chance of being admitted to this academy. It is already winter; if you do not register now, it will be too late."

The taxes in the territory of Xueyingling are low, and the people greatly admire their lord. Over the years, the lives of the territory's inhabitants have been quite good, attracting the envy of many bandits. Zong Ling said, "Your parents have been captured, and they are restless. Finally, the most powerful bandit group in Yishui County—the Curved Blade Alliance—has entered our territory to plunder.

Who is the leader of the Curved Blade Alliance, and what is their background? Dong Bo Xue Ying was completely puzzled.

When your parents were alive, your mother was a Celestial Mage, and with the support of a powerful mage, the army could exert even greater strength. Moreover, our Snow Eagle Territory is equipped with a large number of Star-Breaking Crossbows, making it so that no bandits dare to offend within the entire Yushui County. " Zong Ling said, "After your parents were captured, those bandits have likely been watching and are also quite wary of the Star-Breaking Crossbows.

"Zong Shu." Dong Bo Xue Ying sat down by the bed

Indoors

Dongbo Xueying is also aware

More than 500 people have died

On the bed, Zong Ling was half-reclining, leaning back, while Tong San sat on a nearby stool. The two of them looked towards the door as Dong Bo Xue Ying ran in.

Dong Bo Xue Ying nodded

He has also contemplated for a long time

Zong Ling also said: "In the past, his reputation was quite poor, but no one had ever caught him in the act! He has committed many evil deeds, and there will always come a day when he is exposed. Ultimately, he was exposed and wanted, but he is powerful and hides within the Destruction Mountains, leading a large group of desperate individuals... That is why he has been so arrogant until now. Forget it, this is not something we need to worry about; even if we wanted to intervene, we would not be able to."

"It's nothing, I won't die from it." Zong Ling said with a smile as he tossed the handkerchief into the basin beside him, "This little injury is nothing. Back in the day, when I was out adventuring with your parents and Uncle Tong, we faced much worse injuries many times."

"Ten years old is the final limit; beyond ten years, Changfeng Academy will no longer accept students." Zong Ling also looked at Dongbo Xueying

The disciples cultivated by the academy enter as ordinary youths, but graduate as at least Celestial Knights! Many are able to reach Meteor Level, yet the entrance examination for the academy is quite rigorous. However, with Dong Bo Xue Ying's physical condition and marksmanship, it is very easy for him.

Zong Ling looked at Dong Bo Xue Ying: "As a lord, possessing control over one's territory also entails the responsibility to protect it and safeguard all the subjects within! If bandits invade your territory, committing murder and plunder, they must be exterminated!"

Hmph. Tong San let out a snort, "Xue Ying, even in this world, some formidable experts prefer to gain without effort, relishing in plunder! It is said that Gai Bin killed a noble out of greed and attempted to seize treasures from a library, ultimately exposing himself and becoming a wanted criminal. That is why he simply turned to banditry."

It cannot be managed

Hiding in the Destruction Mountains, some city guards of the empire are also reluctant to launch an attack. It is important to note that the Destruction Mountains stretch over 100,000 miles, connecting four provinces, and are the largest mountain range in the entire empire, inhabited by countless terrifying magical beasts. Many desperate individuals take refuge in the Destruction Mountains, particularly in the outermost regions of the range.

These broken star crossbows alone require 50,000 gold coins! ... This amount is enough to purchase the entire Snow Eagle Territory, so in the whole Yushui County ... . ... The Dongbo family of the Snow Eagle Territory is still quite renowned.

"It is quite formidable, even more so than I anticipated. Truly, it is the strongest bandit within the Yishui territory," said Zong Ling.

The leader of the Crescent Blade Alliance, Gai Bin, is a meteor-level knight! In the past, I have faced meteor-level knights and could generally hold my ground for a moment. "Zong Ling exclaimed, "But Gai Bin's swordsmanship is incredibly fast, much faster than that of a typical meteor-level knight... I suspect he must possess some special techniques of fighting spirit.

My swordsmanship is swift, but his is even faster. I was unable to block him and was struck by three blows in succession! Fortunately, I had the alchemical armor for protection, sustaining only some internal injuries. The three hundred soldiers also began to attack with their broken star crossbows, forcing the leader of the curved blade alliance to flee, and he sustained some minor injuries as a result. Zong Ling sighed, saying, "His swordsmanship is fast, and his movements are quick as well; no wonder he has such a fearsome reputation."
