The Fire Knights are the secret weapon of the dwarf King Glenn in the free city of Zenda. He is reluctant to use this army on weekdays.
Because these 1,200 fine knights, from weapons to equipment, use the most exquisite technology of the dwarves and use the highest quality ores.
Of course, what really takes this team to the next level is the fiery horses that the knights ride, specially tamed by the dwarves.
Fire horses are generally B-level animal monsters. Because they have a certain characteristic, Glenn's men will raise them.
That is, every fire horse is not only extremely fast, but also has an S-level fire resistance. It is truly born out of fire. The ground they step on is a piece of scorched earth with no grass growing.
Therefore, wherever the Fire Knights go, they are almost invincible. At least among the cavalry, the only ones that can compete with them are the Hellfire Legion in the Demon City and the Pegasus Archer Army of the Elf Tribe. Advanced arms.
Another reason why King Glenn treasures his Fire Knights so much is that the Fire Horses cannot be mass-produced on a large scale. Relying on the natural reproduction of such monsters, the survival rate and growth rate are extremely low.
You have to know that it is difficult to conceive a calf when two hot horses are together, because the survival rate of sperm is too low and it will burn to death before being ejaculated.
Therefore, every loss of a fire horse is equivalent to the loss of a fire knight. He cannot bear such a heavy loss, so the dwarf king uses his secret weapon with extra caution.
If it wasn't an emergency this time, he wouldn't have summoned the Fire Knights. Once the other armies were assembled, the Fire Knights would have to take a back seat.
Who knows, at this juncture, the imaginary enemy, the Demon King Lu, would come to his door.
To be honest, for dwarves, both demons and humans are treated equally, and they do not want to get involved in the ongoing battle between the two sides.
But because this forbidden forest is too close to the free city of Zenda City, and the Adventurer's Guild sent news that the demon had snatched the A-level death magic equipment, King Glenn was extremely shocked, and he was afraid of the other party. It will harm your own people in the future.
From this perspective, Grundgers is a good king. Of course, such upright people are often easily deceived, because they are sometimes stubborn and do not listen to other people's dissuasion and explanations.
This also led to the tragedy of the three extremely talented dwarf brothers in Zenda City, which also indirectly helped Lu Xidong's plan to build the country.
Of course, there is no point in talking about it now. What Lu Xidong wants to solve is the immediate crisis.
These fire knights, even if they are dismounted from the fire horse, are the elites of the dwarf kingdom. They are well-trained and strong warriors equipped with the most sophisticated equipment and weapons. The weakest individual combat power is above A-.
On this side, Lu Xidong only brought... two guards - a female magician and a dark elf archer. In terms of number and quality, the gap was too big.
Fortunately, Lu Xidong was still calm. He was here to negotiate, not to fight. He immediately dropped his sword to defend himself, raised his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, we don't mean any harm. I'm here to see the respected Dwarf King." —Grundgers’s.”
"You came to see our king?" Hippocut, the leader of the knights, looked surprised and somewhat undecided.
The order he received was just to prevent the demon and his men from taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into Zenda City, so that they could act as internal agents and play a bad role in future wars.
King Glenn sent them here because of confusion and fear about the opponent's strength. Logically speaking, Hippocut had no right or room to make a choice. He just had to resolutely execute the order and eliminate Lu Xidong and his party. .
But seeing that the other party was so confident, his naturally cautious character reacted immediately. The other party had a back-up plan, and I was afraid that if he took action here, a large army of monsters would rush out of the woods.
Hippocut was not afraid of fighting, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not think that war could solve all problems. This was the true heart of a veteran.
Is it different from what many people think
Many people may think that soldiers are the most eager for war, but in fact, the ones who are most tired of war are those who have been fighting with swords and blood for many years.
Soldiers are an ominous weapon, and saints use them as a last resort.
Hippocut was not a saint, but he had seen too many cruelties of war, so he was eager to solve the problem peacefully, so he hesitated.
Finally, Hippocut decided to give Lu Xidong a chance to meet the dwarf king Glenn, and the three of them were surrounded by him and his men. Could they still be able to escape through the sky and the earth
The orderly knights confiscated the weapons of Lucidong and the others, leaving enough people to monitor the movements in the woods. The remaining people, led by Hippocut, escorted Lucidong to the palace of the Dwarf King. .
It was said that they were escorted, but in fact, there were several people behind them with weapons pressed against their backs, and the rest were closely monitoring them from the front, rear, left, and right. Walking slowly towards the tallest building in the city.
After all, Lu Xidong is now also the leader of the monster town. Hippocut feels that he should treat this monster with courtesy and not lose face too much, otherwise it will be difficult to meet him in the future.
Even if we meet on the battlefield, there is no need to be too harsh. This is also the experience Hippocut has accumulated in the officialdom over the years.
The palace of the dwarf king is located in the center of Zenda City, a city in the cave. It is divided into five floors. King Glen lives on the fourth floor from bottom to top. The fifth floor is the castle tower. The huge building highlights the dwarves. The majesty of the king.
The last time Lu Xidong went to Zenda, he experienced many surprises. Apart from prisons and taverns, there were also cemeteries and tunnels. He had yet to take a direct look at this city, which is known as the richest city in Calradia.
An endless stream of traders and tourists of all ethnic groups shuttle through the low but well-connected streets, looking for opportunities to make a living.
These people obviously knew about the Knights of Fire. They looked in this direction from time to time. A few bold ones pointed with their fingers and covered their mouths not knowing what they were talking about.
"Hey, Master, is this the purpose of your coming here?" Aisha shrugged, making the dwarf knights nervous for a long time before confirming that she meant no harm.
Although dark elves are rare, they are an advanced race after all, and the warriors of the Knights of Fire did not dare to neglect them. They carefully observed her movements to prevent her from breaking out and hurting people at any time.
They didn't know that Ai Xia, who had been subdued by Lu Xidong, was now a sheathed sword. Without Lu Xidong's order, she couldn't be bothered to deal with these boring dwarves.
"Hey, you don't know, the last time I came here was much worse than this." Lu Xidong was the most relaxed. He believed in his own judgment about the dwarves, because he had four dwarves living with him day and night. He also heard many anecdotes about Zenda from Rolf and others.
Including the matter of the dwarf king Glen Geddes, after all, the three Dorum brothers were all officials in Zenda City in the past. Lu Xidong felt that he could already briefly outline the character of Glen.
Therefore, he was confident to stop this meaningless war. No matter who wanted to start it, Lu Xidong would not let him succeed.
Along the way, Lu Xidong vividly told about the experience of the last time he came to Zenda, which made Yundi and Ai Xia listen with open ears, and also piqued the interest of the Fire Knight.
They heard that this demon was once imprisoned here as a provocateur, and they smiled proudly. This is the secret of the long-term prosperity of the free city - strong deterrence and the fairness of the law. Those who have done wrong will People will be punished.
When Lu Xidong mentioned the bad behavior of Finance Minister Boruote, these young warriors became doubtful. Some even wanted to reprimand Lu Xidong for talking nonsense, but Hippocut stopped him. Come down.
He knew the story of the three Dorum brothers, and he also knew Boruote's character. Hippocut was not a newbie, full of longing and beautiful imagination for the palace career. He knew that Lu Xidong was not lying.
Hippocut was even happy that the three of Dorum had a good home, but he couldn't say anything. Being in the circle, he couldn't detach himself from the outside.
There are some things that young subordinates need to understand on their own, so that they can remember them firmly and understand them clearly, even if it comes at the cost of a big somersault.
Because no matter what he says now, these little guys full of fantasy will not believe it.
Just thinking like this, the adjutant beside me reminded: "Captain, the king's palace has arrived."
Hippocut looked up, and sure enough, the five-story palace where the Dwarf King Glenn was located had arrived.
Lu Xidong and his guards had already discovered that the demon had already shut his mouth, and heard the leader of the Fire Knights say softly: "I wish you good luck!"
The palace door opens...
