Astonishing Strength

Chapter 69 Astonishing Strength

What shocked Count Mujik even more was that along with the dwarf, a large troop of men also charged in.

Like the dwarf, a faint mist of blood rose from everyone's bodies.

Count Mujik recognized the soldiers by the family crests printed on their vests.

They are soldiers from the Cold Wind Territory!

Wasn't it said that Alphonse, that lowly country bumpkin, couldn't fully control his soldiers?

It should have been expected that Mia, as a knight of the Tartarus family, would suddenly side with the Swood family!

I had heard that the soldiers of Cold Wind Territory were veterans who had retired from the battlefield, experienced in many battles, and had rich combat experience.

But the scene before him was completely beyond Count Mujik's expectations.

The soldiers of Cold Wind Territory charged into the crowd like tigers among sheep.

The family's army was no match for them.

Like a crimson wave surging, it was impossible to tell whether it was the blood mist on their bodies or the blood sprayed by their soldiers, resulting in heavy casualties.

Originally, the demonic creatures formed from those shadows were already being annihilated and could not change the course of the battle. Unexpectedly, the army of Cold Wind Territory attacked again.

"Could it be that the person who knows strange summoning magic is Alphonse?" Ferren asked in disbelief, his voice trembling.

He still remembered that in the honor duel between Keberi and Alphonse, Alphonse's strength was only greater than Keberi's, who possessed first-level battle qi.

He completely forgot that he too had once been knocked down and subdued by Alphonse.

Count Mujik's anger was already raging.

The destruction of the two magical weapons is a foregone conclusion, but if the Swood family can be defeated, everything can still be salvaged.

All we need to do is wipe out the army of Coldwind Territory!

He still had something to rely on, and he firmly believed that he could turn the tide.

"Make way!" Count Mujik roared, spurring his horse forward at full gallop, shoving aside several soldiers as he charged towards Taisi, who was leading the charge.

Upon seeing Count Mujik charging towards him, Tessie was already on guard. Seeing the knight's lance thrusting down with a menacing edge, he quickly raised his large shield to block.

The burst of fighting spirit instantly enveloped the shield.

when!

A deafening clang of metal clashing.

Taisi's body sank in, his feet sinking into the mud, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his arms going numb from the shock.

Count Mujik's lance pierced through the large shield, but ultimately blocked the attack.

Just as he was about to swing his longsword at the horse's leg, a burst of fighting spirit shot out from the tip of the lance.

Taixi's chainmail on his chest and the leather armor underneath were instantly pierced through, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft".

Upon seeing this, Simon, who was following closely behind, was enraged and slashed at Count Mujik on horseback.

Count Mujik simply drew his lance and sent him flying with a single thrust, cursing viciously, "You lowly commoners!"

At that moment, Feren cried out in alarm, "Father, watch out!"

Upon hearing his son's warning, Count Mujik also sensed something was wrong. A loud whooshing sound came from above and to the side, and he quickly parried his gun.

With a "clang".

Mia slashed down with her sword from mid-air.

She arrived at the critical moment.

The immense force cleaved a notch in the knight's lance. Count Mujik's warhorse could no longer withstand the weight, letting out a mournful whinny as its leg broke and it tumbled to the side.

Count Mujik, however, had already abandoned his lance the moment his warhorse fell to the ground and rolled away.

He spun around in mid-air, drawing the longsword from his waist. With a flick of his wrist, he deflected the rapidly thrusting blade.

Mia let out a soft "Eh," seemingly somewhat surprised, but without hesitation, she rushed forward again.

The soldiers of Coldwind Territory quickly seized the opportunity to pull out Taisi and drag her back.

Ding ding ding ding ding!!

Amidst the continuous sounds of parrying, the azure light flashed incessantly. Mia's attacks were like a whirlwind, but most of them were blocked by Count Mujik. The attacks that slipped through the net struck his armor, but remained unharmed.

Despite the fact that Count Mujik was seemingly in dire straits, Mia was unable to harm him in the slightest.

Mia instantly realized what was wrong; Count Mujik's strength was far beyond the realm of third-order battle qi.

Both in speed and strength, it surpasses that of a third-tier swordsman.

However, his fighting spirit did not have any attributes attached, which indicates that he has not advanced to the fourth rank.

Combined with the fact that the sword blade struck his armor, it seemed as if the power of his battle aura had been absorbed.

Mia had already realized the truth.

There is only one explanation.

The full-body armor worn by Count Mujik is a magical armor with full-body enchantment.

It not only enhanced his strength but also accelerated his reaction speed.

The armor has extremely high defensive capabilities and is also enchanted to absorb impact.

Suddenly, the longsword in Count Mujik's hand shone with a blazing crimson light, and the speed of his horizontal slash increased even further.

Mia quickly swung her sword to block the attack, but a large cloud of fire suddenly erupted from Count Mujik's longsword.

With a loud "BOOM!", a huge explosion erupted.

Caught off guard, Mia was instantly engulfed by the fiery cloud and tumbled out amidst raging flames.

A chorus of exclamations erupted.

Count Mujik burst into arrogant laughter. With the help of his magical weapon, he was finally able to ambush his formidable enemy, Mia.

After chuckling twice, Count Mujik was astonished to find that an amazing scene was unfolding before his eyes.

The fiery cloud enveloping Mia seemed to be torn apart by countless invisible hands, instantly vanishing into thin air.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

As the flames subsided, Mia's figure appeared, still unharmed.

However, a visible storm barrier appeared around her.

Mia's pretty face grew even colder. "Your armor is quite nice! Your sword is quite nice too!"

Count Mujik felt a chill run down his spine, and his confidence crumbled like the tide.

He had already seen the sky-blue battle aura surrounding Mia's longsword change, becoming increasingly intense.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mia flashed over, her speed much faster than before.

Its incredible speed even produced a piercing shriek.

They could no longer even see the longsword in Mia's hand; all they could see were the sword beams formed by battle aura blooming before their eyes, like flowers vying to bloom.

Count Mujik felt a stinging pain in his eyes; the chilling sword light could only leave afterimages in his vision.

Without time to think, he instinctively raised his sword and swung it, trying to block the fierce attack in front of him.

At first, he was able to barely block a few blows, but he took countless hits after that.

"Surrender! Or die!" Mia shouted coldly.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding!

Like rain pelting banana leaves, Count Mujik was forced to retreat repeatedly amidst the continuous heavy blows, his body trembling like a leaf.

His magical armor, which he relied on, was showing signs of breaking down.

The powerful tremors caused blood to flow from his mouth and nose.
