Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode’s remarks left the crowd stunned. Not only did the crowd stared blankly at Rhode, but even Andre and his troops also sulked with ashen expressions. Even though Rhode appeared seemingly casual and polite in his tone, everyone clearly heard his insult to the Magician Knights behind those words! He only brought one other companion and wished to take on the entire team of Magician Knights!

The crowd had witnessed the formidable strength of the Magician Knights in the military exercise previously. Even though there were only a hundred of them, the might that they displayed was nothing weaker than a thousand Cavalrymen. Moreover, they were donned in Mage Equipment and riding on Alchemy Warhorses. They were a group of powerful existence that couldn’t be ignored no matter where they were. But now, Rhode declared that he had totally disregarded them!

In an instant, the crowd jumped to their feet and gazed at the tense commotion with distinct emotions. They widened their eyes while awaiting the start of the battle.

“Mr. Rhode, you seem to look down on the strength of us Magician Knights.”

Since both sides were on the battlefield already, there was no need for them to mince their words anymore. Andre gritted his teeth and glared at Rhode fiercely. On the other side, Rhode lifted his head and welcomed his stares with a warm smile.

“Mr. Andre, it’s important for one to have accurate self-assessment and not utter nonsense. Since you’re asking for it, I don’t mind sending you to your deathbed.”

“Great!”

Andre couldn’t keep his wrath in any longer. He abruptly swung the pike in his hand.

“Alright then. Show me the true strength of the Mercenary Overlord! Assault Formation! Get ready!”

“—!”

The Magician Knights behind Andre immediately got into positions. In the blink of an eye, they formed their attack formation as swiftly as flowing water and pointed their razor-sharp pikes at Anne and Rhode on the other side. In an instant, the entire plaza was filled with an aura of murderous intent. The cheers and applause on the tall platform had also weakened significantly. However, Anne and Rhode remain unfazed. They grinned widely as though it wasn’t a team of fully-equipped Magician Knights before them, but a group of clowns instead.

“Attack!”

Andre roared at the top of his lungs. The Magician Knights urged on their warhorses and charged toward Anne and Rhode!
