Chapter 182 The Knights Attack
"Mo Lan, here we come."
Zou Peng suddenly found Mo Lan, sent him a picture, and said with a slightly gloomy expression.
Mo Lan didn't reply. He opened the screenshot and his heart sank.
The screenshot shows a compacted road, which is considered an official road connecting cities.
On the official road, a huge team was coming from the north.
Mo Lan took a quick look and roughly counted the team, and found that there were only over a hundred people.
There were not many people, but the hundred of them were all wearing thick and heavy full body armor, and the war horses they sat on were tall and majestic, with fine and sharp teeth in their mouths, and thick diamond-shaped scales the size of fists growing on their foreheads and chests. They carried the knights in heavy armor without any effort.
Mo Lan didn't need to see it with his own eyes. Just this picture made him understand how elite this knight group was.
At this time Zou Peng continued.
"The one who took the screenshot is the wizard. He told me that the 100 knights came as a whole, like a moving mountain. He could hardly breathe beside them."
Zou Peng’s face became increasingly gloomy.
"These one hundred people...are suspected to be a knight group of one hundred people."
Mo Lan's expression became extremely solemn at this moment.
Even though they had defeated other noble knight teams with ease before, Mo Lan didn't think that he was strong enough.
Although people are talking about how powerful the mage is, that is only a one-on-one fight, Mo Lan understands that.
Once the warriors complete the resonance of their fighting spirit and form a fighting group, the fighting power that can be unleashed is absolutely terrifying.
It seemed like an easy victory in the beginning, but that was entirely because Mo Lan cheated. He forced a group of people who had no tacit understanding at all to complete a group spell by commanding them.
Using a 100-man mage group to fight against a 10-man knight squad, this kind of crushing cannot decide anything.
Whether it is a magic group or a knight group, they all abide by the same rules.
The more people there are, the harder it is to form a group. Similarly, once a group is formed, the power that erupts is extremely terrifying.
One plus one may only be greater than two, but when one plus one plus one plus one plus one equals one hundred, it may already be greater than one thousand .
"What is the current situation of the Nine Ding Chamber of Commerce's magician group?"
Mo Lan turned and asked Zou Peng.
"Now that we have Xu Zongxin's spiritual connection, the training speed has increased a lot, but there are only 31 people in the group, which is only up to the standard of the second ring, and can barely be considered a second-ring magician group.
What about the Mages Guild?"
Mo Lan shook his head.
"The Mage Association has no Mage Corps. It was established just a few days ago, and even the plan for training the Mage Corps has not been formulated yet."
"So how is your Mage Tower now?"
As soon as Zou Peng finished speaking, he saw Mo Lan waving his hand.
“I have been delayed by other things during this period, and I have not yet created a suitable and appropriate fourth-level spell, so there has been no stability.
The most powerful spell in the Mage Tower now is the third-ring Dark Fireball.
Under resonance, the power of a single unit can almost reach the standard of six rings, which should be enough for a single unit, but it is definitely not enough to deal with a knight group of 100 people."
"What should I do? I haven't received a fourth-level spell yet, and I don't think I'll receive one for a while.
But I heard that the God of War Guild has an elite-level extraordinary core. Why don’t we ask Yi Fei to borrow it?
Just this loan will require a huge debt of gratitude."
Mo Lan shook his head.
"Where is this group of knights? Are you sure they are coming for us?"
Upon hearing this, Zou Peng sent another picture to Mo Lan. It was the same picture, but with a circle drawn on it and a flag inside.
“This flag is the flag of the Morse family, the royal family of Morse.
This means that this knight order is directly under the royal family, and the road he took led directly to Red Maple City. There were only seven towns and two small cities on the way, and nothing major had happened in these towns and small cities at the moment.
Although the players jumped and caused great losses to the nobles, at least on the surface the nobles suppressed the players with force and beat them into a panic, without causing any major trouble.
At present, the biggest issue that has caused a stir and made all the nobles feel uneasy is the death of the powerful noble, Earl Red Maple.
If we calculate the time again, it is about the same as expected, so this knight group must be coming for us."
Mo Lan rubbed his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Then how long will it take them to reach Red Maple City?"
"At the current speed, how long will it take to reach Red Maple City?"
"Three days at the latest."
Mo Lan fell into deep thought, and Zou Peng did not disturb him, just waiting quietly .
"What do you think we should do?"
Zou Peng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said.
"We definitely cannot defeat them right now. We can only rely on the Mage Tower for defense."
“No, let’s not talk about whether the three-ring magician tower can withstand the attack of the hundred-man knight group. Even if it can temporarily withstand it, it won’t last long.
As long as they continue their high-intensity attacks for a period of time, the reserve energy in the elemental pool will not last long as the expenditure is greater than the income.
Of course, given the solidity of the Mage Tower itself, it cannot be demolished in a short time. With the help of Sharpness, it should not be a problem to resist several six-ring spells.
But this is not a solution. If you stay in the turtle shell, you will die sooner or later.
I am thinking about a question now.”
Mo Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Are these one hundred people a complete order of knights?
I didn’t think about it carefully before, but when I think about it carefully, I feel something is not right. "
"What's wrong?"
Zou Peng was a little confused.
"As a royal family, isn't it normal to have some background?"
Mo Lan didn't say anything. He went to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower and searched for a while. He found a thick book. Following the table of contents, Mo Lan flipped to the middle.
"The Kingdom of Morse has nine cities, four of which are in the southern region. Red Maple City is the most prosperous and is the territory of Earl Red Maple. He holds the military and political power and is one of the top nobles in the Kingdom of Morse.
The five cities in the northern region, headed by the royal capital Morse City, are the only cities in the Morse Kingdom that are more prosperous than Red Maple City and are directly under the jurisdiction of the Morse royal family.
The Morse royal family, headed by the Marquis of Morse..."
Mo Lan pointed at the word Marquis.
“Although the Kingdom of Morse is called a kingdom, in fact the highest title in the entire kingdom is only a marquis.
According to the atlas, this is because Mors had just split from the Northern Empire and although it was independent, it was not called a duke.
Mo Lan let out a long sigh. In the process of explaining to Zou Peng, he also figured out some things, which made him feel relieved.
“So, as the Earl of Red Maple, whose title is second only to the Marquis of Morse, he is a frontier official, qualified to be in charge of the military and political affairs of the second most prosperous city in the entire kingdom. Within the Morse Kingdom, his relative strength is definitely not weak.
The Marquis of Morse is most likely one level stronger than the Earl of Red Maple, but definitely not much stronger.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to allow Red Maple City, a major economic city, to be controlled by Earl Red Maple.
According to this logic, the Morse Marquis family may have a knight group of 100 people, but they are definitely elite, a national defense level knight group. In this newly split, unstable situation of the kingdom, it is absolutely impossible to send them out to deal with us easily. This is unrealistic. "
The corners of Mo Lan's mouth curled up slightly.
"Besides, why do you think Earl Red Maple can control Red Maple City?"
