Chapter 21: The Secret Art of the Mu'en Tribe

  "Keep formation! Don't panic! Don't panic!" Just in the midst of chaos, Robert's stern voice came through, giving some composure to these frightened soldiers.

  Robert's armor was all broken, his hair disheveled, and there were some bloodstains on him. He grabbed one of his subordinates with a forceful push and shouted: "Form ranks! Protect the master!! Form ranks to retreat! No running allowed!"

  The lions of the sky dived down one by one, bringing with them loud roars that indeed had a dizzying magic power. Several of Roland's subordinates who heard it felt their heads buzzing and their bodies swaying, and they couldn't even hold onto their swords.

  Robert snatched the bow and arrow from an archer lying on the ground, swiftly shooting it at a Griffin swooping down from the sky. The arrow imbued with fighting spirit transformed into a beam of light as it shot out, but this ordinary standard-issue bow and arrow seemed unable to withstand the knight's fighting spirit. As soon as the arrow flew into the air, it exploded, transforming into a burst of light.

  Fortunately, the lion-like creature also seemed to be frightened, Robert then hastily retreated, he barely organized a dozen people to surround him, holding up their swords and long spears for self-protection.

  At this moment, more lions and eagles descended from the sky, and from time to time, people were injured by the sharp claws and beaks of the lions and eagles. The sound of miserable cries could be heard all around, and from time to time, people were caught up by the lions and eagles and thrown into the air. Then several lions and eagles would fly up immediately and use their sharp beaks and claws to tear the person apart in mid-air!

  Such a scene made everyone's heart chill!

  Sir Spens' sword was left with only half of its length, he had just been attacked by a Griffin and rolled on the ground to dodge it, but his thigh was covered in blood and he could hardly stand.

  Whether it's Spahn or Robert, there is nothing but terror and utter shock in their minds!

  How could a large number of terrifying and ferocious magical beasts like lions suddenly appear in the southern part of the empire?!

  Under Robert's loud cry of "Protect the lord!", more and more of the Rowling cavalrymen gathered around, rushing towards Duwei in a swarm.

  And those vultures in the sky were still like terrible killers, every time they dived down, a miserable cry would be made immediately, and every attack by the vulture would take away a soldier's life.

  The ground is already filled with blood, and there are some frightening corpses that have been torn apart. Many people died in a terrible manner, and in the face of this ferocious beast, many people didn't even leave behind intact corpses!

  Du Wei just saw a lion eagle pouncing towards him, after being knocked to the ground by Ruo Lin, he heard a loud cry coming from behind, and then although he was lying on the ground, he seemed to feel a yellow light flashing in front of his eyes...

  "Master, get up quickly, we must leave here immediately." Yolyn's anxious voice came, and then Yolyn pulled Du Wei up with force, and then grabbed him to lean against a big tree.

  At this moment, many of the Rowling family's guards had already gathered around, and Robert rushed over with quick big strides. The Rowling family's guards were after all possessed of extremely high family honor and loyalty, and in the face of this crisis, they still hadn't forgotten their duties, nor did a single one of them flee. Although every single person was afraid, they still bravely held their weapons and approached their master.

  "Sorschia! Sorschia!" Duvy's furious roar.

  "I'm over here." Beside him, a reply came from the ground as Solstice awkwardly crawled up from the dirt, his robes already dirty and his face covered in dust. During the Griffin's first wave of attacks earlier, he was the first to dive into the bushes.

  "What the hell are you doing?!" Du Wei stormed over, grabbing the magician's collar with a furious face: "My men are bleeding! Why aren't you using magic?! Hurry up! If you want to live, use your magic to attack now!"

  The wizard's hat was shaken off by Du Wei, he quickly nodded and then swiftly raised his hand to shoot several fireballs into the sky... No way out, Solstice's abilities were limited, and for now, his direct attack magic only had the lowest level of fireball technique. As for slow-down techniques and the like, facing a group of Griffin Lions, it was likely to have little effect.

  At this moment, the Griffin is driving away the soldiers of the garrison troops under Spahn's command, while the people of the Roline family are gradually gathering and merging into a considerable force. Although the Griffin continues to attack, each time it attacks, it faces rows of swords and spears, and although it seems that the Griffin does not dare to collide head-on, it keeps circling around the periphery, suddenly grabbing one or two people, but after all, this magical beast is very powerful, and the soldiers of the Roline family are still dying quickly! The Griffin's every attack almost takes away a life!

  The troops were slowly retreating, and Solksya's fireball technique also brought some obstruction and intimidation to the Griffin, but more and more Griffins surrounded them - they had completely solved Span's cavalry. The ground was littered with corpses, and even Span himself, the knight, was lying motionless in the distance, dead or alive unknown.

  Robert's face was ghastly pale, his knuckles white with tension as he gripped the hilt of his sword. In a hoarse voice, he said: "Master, I'm afraid today..." The knight shook his head vigorously, then suddenly pulled over the female knight Yorin and whispered: "In a moment, I'll lead the charge up there, you immediately take Master down the mountain road! Go fast! Must go fast! I'll try to draw their attention. Master... is in your care."

  "Are you going to go die?"

  "Robert's voice was hoarse: "I understand this kind of thing, they like to hunt and kill, we are now their prey, the road from here to the foot of the mountain is too far, in this state, we can't retreat at all. We can only think of a way to stir up trouble and let the master slip away quietly."

  "But..."

  "What the... Yolyn! Don't forget you're a knight now!" Robert suddenly flared up, glaring with his eyes and shouting: "You're not that little mercenary from before! If you still can't understand the spirit of a knight, then you don't deserve to be one! I'm injured, I won't run fast anymore, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to let you escort the master away! Do you want to be a true knight? Yolyn?! Then prove it to me!!"

  Yolyn's body shook, and she stared at Robert in surprise. At this moment, Yolyn's eyes revealed a hint of turmoil, and she raised her long sword with force, shouting: "I will prove it!"

  Robert burst out laughing loudly and then turned his head to look at his master.

  Du Wei, however, kept his eyes narrowed, watching the lions that were flying around, looking for an opportunity to attack the human formation. He was so absorbed in the scene that he seemed to have forgotten everything around him, including Robert and Yulin's conversation earlier. This little guy had no idea what was going on in his mind at this moment.

  Ruo Lin's face suddenly swept away the previous shock and turmoil, and a strange calmness appeared on this beautiful face!

  Under Robert's astonished gaze, the female knight suddenly stretched out her palm and grasped the blade of her sword with force, pulling it out with a jerk...

  Her palm was immediately cut by the sharp blade, and blood gushed out!

  "What are you doing!" Robert shouted. Yolanda didn't answer, she slowly took a few steps forward and gently parted the guards in front of the Roland family.

  Ruo Lin stood at the forefront of the team, watching as a lion eagle charged over. The female knight suddenly opened her hands and pinched a strange finger print, after which a yellow light circle flashed around her entire body!!

  In the light circle, the wound on her palm suddenly burst out with fresh blood! In this light circle quickly dissipated! Immediately a huge beam of light shot out from her arms! The eagle that was diving towards her was enveloped by the beam of light, it didn't even have time to let out a cry, its body in the beam of light... Bang! Disappeared!

  Turned into countless light dust, this one lion eagle suddenly disappeared!

  Everyone was stunned! Not just the Rolin family's guards, but also Robert and Solksya were all stunned! The only one who was still in a daze was probably Duwei.

  This female knight... Could it be that she is using magic? Could she be a female magician?!

  After Yolanda made the lion disappear with this strange magic, her body seemed to flicker, and then she loudly chanted a strange and difficult-to-understand sentence. At the same time, the yellow light circle surrounding her grew larger... and the speed of the fresh blood flowing from Yolanda's hands also accelerated!

  When the yellow halo gradually enveloped everyone, the surrounding lions and eagles were all roaring, but they seemed to dare not approach the halo! With the protection of the halo, the people of Luo Lin's family finally came down safely. However, the female knight's body suddenly softened, almost falling down.

  Among the stunned crowd, Robert was the first to come to his senses. He rushed forward a few steps and supported the weak female knight with one hand, shouting loudly: "She's injured! Who has medicine on them? She needs hemostasis!"

  Robert was stunned by the wound on Jolin's hand!

  What a wound! The wound has opened almost twice as large, and the skin around it has already turned pale! This is clearly a sign of excessive blood loss! But how can such a small cut bleed so much? Even now, Yolanda's fresh blood is still flowing rapidly! The speed of this flow makes Robert feel chilled to the bone!

  "No! It won't stop bleeding." Yolyn bit her lip hard and whispered, "My magic needs my fresh blood to sustain it. Quick, retreat quickly while you still can."

  Although he didn't know what kind of magic this was, Robert also knew it wasn't the time to ask questions. He immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone retreat! We're leaving here!"

  "Let everyone be careful not to expose their bodies beyond the light circle." Yolanda added.

  But just as everyone was retreating, the only one who didn't move was Du Wei. Robert furrowed his brow and pulled on this dazed little master, thinking that perhaps he had been frightened silly.

  "Master, let's leave here! Quickly!"

  "No." Du Wei's body didn't move, but his eyes still held a thoughtful gaze as he looked at the lions in front of him.

  "Robert was getting impatient: 'If we don't leave now, we're dead for sure!'"

  "No." Du Wei still shook his head, seemingly still in a daze.

  Robert couldn't help but get annoyed!

  His soldiers are bleeding, and the female knight beside him is sustaining her magic with her own blood! If they don't stop the bleeding soon, she'll probably die!

  But what on earth is this foolish young master doing now!!

  Just as Robert was getting impatient, Du Wei finally smiled...

  Good grief! This guy, he's actually still smiling!

  Du Wei turned his head to look at Yu Rong, saying: "Yu Rong, withdraw your magic, the Mu En tribe's 'Broken Magic Domain' is indeed a nemesis of all magic, but it comes at the cost of fresh blood. I appreciate your sacrificial spirit, however...it seems we've been played by someone else."

  Robert was taken aback, had this little master gone mad? He spoke but couldn't understand his own words.

  "Robert! Quickly stop the bleeding of our female knight, do you want to see her bleed to death?" Du Wei shouted, this time's command was much clearer. Robert was stunned for a moment, but Du Wei had already gone up and grabbed Yolyn's hand, pushing Robert with force: "What are you spacing out!"

  Then Du Wei looked at Ruo Lin and said in a low voice: "Thank you, your courage today is admirable!"

  After finishing speaking, Du Wei suddenly pushed away the guards in front of him and loudly laughed at the group of lions outside: "Come on! Come and let me see what other skills you have!"

  In the midst of everyone's astonishment, Du Wei suddenly ran a few steps forward! Robert was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he hurriedly went up to hold back his master. But at this moment, the lion eagle, who had been anxiously searching for an opportunity outside the yellow light circle, saw Du Wei running out by himself, and immediately one of them swooped down quickly!

  Robert tried to save Du Wei, but the lion eagle's body rushed over, and he only had time to use his long sword to block it once, and then he was knocked open! In the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, the lion eagle's sharp claws easily pierced through Du Wei's thin body! It was as if piercing a thin sheet of paper!

  ！！！

  All of the Rollin family's guards felt a blackness before their eyes, Robert almost fainted, and the weak female knight let out a loud cry, her body going limp.

  Watching Du Wei being thrown out like a leaf by the golden eagle, his body flew across the air and crashed to the ground, everyone felt as if their hearts had fallen to the bottom of the valley!

  It's all over! It's all over!

  The young master died here, and all these people are finished! Even if they can return alive, but the master they were responsible for protecting is dead. This crime will surely be put to death by the family!

  Robert has been stunned on the ground, and he didn't even notice that the sword in his hand had fallen to the ground. At this moment, the knight was also disheartened...

  "Hehe..."

  A strange laugh echoed, followed by Du Wei's "corpse" suddenly getting up from the ground, swaying unsteadily!

  This scene made everyone's eyes almost pop out!

  Du Wei's body was a mess of blood and flesh, with a huge bloody hole in his chest that almost pierced through his entire body! Fresh blood flowed non-stop, but Du Wei merely furrowed his brow, looked down at his wound, and chuckled: "This feeling, it really does hurt quite a bit. Heh heh... just like the real thing!"

  He touched the fresh blood on his wound again, lifted his hand to his eyes and took a sniff, muttering to himself: "Hmmm, it's really realistic, even the blood seems real..."
