The journey was very peaceful. Ten days passed very quickly. They were already halfway to Spirit City.
The 500 royal knights were enough to be compared to the royal family. Wherever they went, any city would receive them in the best way possible. They did not encounter any trouble on the way.
Today was the eleventh day of their journey. Of the Shrek Seven Devils, only Xiao Wu remained in cultivation mode. Xiao Wu was already very close to breaking through the fiftieth rank. The others did not want to disturb her, so they gave the entire carriage to her.
Right now everyone was hoping that Xiao Wu would be able to break through the bottleneck before the finals, and then quickly find a suitable spirit beast to obtain a spirit ring. As long as Xiao Wu also entered the fiftieth rank, the Shrek Seven Devils 'strength would once again have an overall increase effect.
"Boss Dai, why do you keep looking at those knights? Do you want to become a warrior?”Ma Hongjun curiously asked Dai Mubai.
Because of their outstanding performance in the ranking competition, right now Shrek Academy was arranged to be in the middle of the entire team heading to Spirit City.
"We Spirit Masters are originally the best warriors. What was there to be envious about? I was just observing them. The Imperial Knight Corps was worthy of being the Heaven Dou Empire's trump card. Not only was the army neat and tidy, but they were also extremely disciplined. He didn't have any arrogance at all. This was too rare. Even though knights were only the lowest level of nobility, they were born into the royal knights, their status in the Heaven Dou Empire was quite extraordinary. The fact that he was able to be strict with himself along the way was completely the result of his usual training.”
"Alright, why are you talking like you're a military strategist, I don't want to hear this." There were still ten more days! Boss Dai, how about we walk around the team? Even though there weren't many female Spirit Masters participating, most of them were top grade. Especially those from Skywater Academy, they are the best of the best. Don't tell me you're not interested.”
Dai Mubai fiercely glared at Ma Hongjun, I'm a decent person and I've never done such a thing.”
Ma Hongjun turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing not far away, suddenly understanding: "Understood, I understand. You're a decent person. I'll definitely lower my voice next time.”
"Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death." Dai Mubai already clearly felt two cold and flickering gazes fall on his back. These days the relationship between him and Zhu Zhuqing already had a heaven and earth turning change. Dai Mubai was filled with excitement. But he still clearly remembered the words Zhu Zhuqing had said to him in the camp. He knew that Zhu Zhuqing was absolutely a person who would do what she said, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill.
Just as Dai Mubai was preparing to go to Zhu Zhuqing's side to explain a few words, Suddenly, a cold aura came from not far away.
Most of the people in their team took the official road. They would only take some remote roads where they could take shortcuts. At this moment, it was the time for the super shortcut. It was located between two hills that weren't very high. It was said that they could save dozens of miles by passing through here. Although the mountain path was a little narrow, it could be considered flat. The carriage passed by without any problems.
The cold air came from the mountains on both sides of the path. Dai Mubai naturally wasn't the only one who felt it. The captain of the Royal Knights shouted," Everyone, stay alert. There's a situation."
The Imperial Knight Regiment members guarding the Spirit Masters immediately raised the knight spears in their hands. But those Spirit Master Academy participating team members had relaxed expressions. With so many genius Spirit Masters here, what did they need to worry about? In terms of numbers, these students were much fewer than the Royal Knights. However, if they really fought, their strength would not be proportional at all. Even more, the teachers leading the teams from the various academies had no lack of powerhouses, at least a dozen sixty or seventieth ranked Spirit Masters. Such a team was enough to face a large army of more than ten thousand people.
At this moment, countless falling rocks rolled down from the hills on both sides like raindrops. Not only did these falling rocks appear very abruptly, but they also appeared very orderly. He quickly descended.
The terrain in front of them was very unfavorable to the entire team. The captain of the Royal Knights hurriedly gave the order to speed up. As for the falling rocks, they were handed over to the 500 members of the Royal Knights.
At this moment, the overall quality of the Royal Knights was displayed. Even though they weren't all Spirit Masters. However, their overall strength was very strong.
The hills on both sides were not too high, which made the gravity of the falling rocks not irresistible. The knights of the Royal Knights took a few steps back, leaving only a passage in the middle. He raised his spear high. He faced the falling rock.
The spears moved the rocks, and they used the spears in their hands to continuously push the falling rocks to the side. The spears of the 500 warriors formed a steel defense line. In such an unfavorable terrain, they actually did not let a single rock pass in front of them in a short period of time.
Seeing this scene, Ma Hongjun who had previously heard Dai Mubai's words and still somewhat disapproved couldn't help but be shocked. The fifteen Spirit Master academies swiftly moved out of the hill under the lead of their teachers. In order to speed up, they abandoned the carriage. All the students got off the ground and hurried. As long as they left this unfavorable terrain, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Right now everyone wanted to know just who dared to attack this Imperial Knight Regiment. This was Heaven Dou Empire territory. Could they really be bandits? Did they not have eyes?
Xiao Wu's cultivation had no choice but to stop. The Shrek Seven Devils plus the four substitute team members followed Liu Erlong and Flender quickly.
Liu Erlong originally wanted to rush up the mountain to kill, but was stopped by Flender.
"Boss Fu, why are you stopping me? These blind thieves, let me kill them.”Liu Erlong said discontentedly.
"Things aren't that simple. Don't you find it strange? Even though the Heaven Dou Empire also had some large bandit groups, they were still very well-informed. How dare someone attack a team like ours? What right do they have? Looking at the falling rocks on the mountain, it was obvious that they were prepared and not unintentional. Regardless of what they want to do, our priority is to protect the children. Without Xiao Gang, we can't fight to the best of our abilities. The most important thing is to protect the children.”
Hearing Flender's words, even though Liu Erlong was somewhat disapproving in her heart, she couldn't refute.
The Royal Knights were gradually unable to hold on any longer. Some especially huge rocks had already smashed into the team.
At this time, it displayed the strength of the soul masters. These elites of the Heaven Dou Empire's various advanced Spirit Master academies basically didn't panic, each releasing their own spirits, protecting the auxiliary system Spirit Masters inside, power attack and defense system outside. The stone flew over and was immediately shattered. It did not even affect the speed of the team's advance and retreat.
They were about to pass through the road between the two hills. The Royal Knights behind them had also begun to retreat.
At this moment, a whistle sounded out from somewhere. Thousands of men in black suddenly appeared on the hills on both sides and rushed down at an astonishing speed. Right now, the royal knights were still in the process of retreating, and the spirit masters of the fifteen academies could only rely on their own strength to protect themselves.
Dazzling lights of all colors began to appear on the Spirit Masters 'bodies. Their spirits were released, and their spirit rings shone. They were ready for battle.
Although there was no cooperation between the various academies, each academy had formed a small group. The appearance of the enemy had stimulated their blood. Instead of retreating, they advanced. They did not need anyone to organize them. They had already rushed towards the enemy.
However, something unexpected happened to these young Spirit Masters. Just when they thought they could easily defeat their opponents, they were hit on the head by their opponents.
There were more than 200 teachers and students in the 15 academies, and the number of bandits coming down the mountain was about 1,500. The moment the two sides came into contact. These bandits actually displayed amazing teamwork. Usually, three or four people would attack one person. The attack was simple and powerful. The Spirit Masters were caught off guard. After all, their actual combat experience was built on fighting a small number of people. This was the first time they had fought such a large-scale battle.
Dazzling spirit abilities began to appear, but those black clothed men were extremely crafty. Relying on rather decent speed and coordination, ordinary first or second rank spirit abilities were unexpectedly very difficult to deal with them. Moreover, there were actually Spirit Masters among these black clothed people. There were at least thirty powerful Spirit Masters above fiftieth rank. Once a powerful spirit ability appeared, they would immediately rush forward. On average, each academy had two Spirit Masters. In this way, the bandits 'wolf pack tactic played a considerable role. The situation was in a stalemate.
The opponent Spirit Master's appearance made Flender even more certain of his guess. This was an organized attack. Thirty fiftieth ranked Spirit Masters. This was not a power that any faction could possess. How many soul masters were there in this world? The total number was no more than 100,000. There were even less than five thousand Spirit Masters above the fiftieth rank. 5,000 might sound like a lot, but if it was distributed across the entire continent, it would be pitifully little. A group of bandits being able to launch such an organized attack, moreover possessing so many high level Spirit Masters, this was practically unimaginable.
What did rank-50 mean? Not only did his title become Spirit King, it also meant that he could obtain his first ten thousand year spirit ring.
"Conserve your spirit power and defeat your opponent." Flender immediately gave this order.
