A moment later, James sat dazedly on his warhorse, a bit stunned, because in fact Hannet was somewhat rude, but the great wizard still agreed to accompany him.

  Especially when the great wizard said "the hero of the future", he immediately had a different view of Hanite Knight, as if there was a mysterious halo surrounding him.

  The crisp and loud sound of horseshoes shook the ground, fog scattered everywhere, and pedestrians were driven to walk on the road.

  Isador Hagt sat in the carriage, a place having been specially made for him. He narrowed his eyes and watched as Hannett followed slowly behind, the long sword at his waist clanking against the knight's half-plate armor with a dull thud.

  His eyes were calm and quiet, yet not dull. His waist was straight as a pen, seemingly the heavy armor did not show its weight on him. A stern and majestic aura extended from his body.

  "He is a good knight and a difficult one to persuade, a very dangerous knight!" Isidore Hagt thought.

  "Hannett Knight, why are you bringing these peasants back?"

  "Isador, Master, whether we are knights or nobles, we must rely on these peasants to survive and thrive, don't you think? All the grain, all the crafts, even all the castles and manors, it's all obtained from the peasants. If one gains the peasants, one gains power. I believe our lord Eli will be overjoyed, of course, if she doesn't want them, I'll be more than happy to take this batch of people - although my manor is small, with only thirty households now, but if developed well, it can accommodate three hundred households." Haniet heard these words and replied, saying that at this time, he seemed to have lost all his indifference, his face without a helmet wore a warm smile.

  "You are a wise knight, I believe your manor will prosper." Isadore Haggarty also smiled and said: "And in the future, you will become a great and benevolent lord."

  "This is too far away, we are now barely surviving, can't think of going that far, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, has Count Brieman's attack begun?"

  "Yes, I think what you said is true. The war that occurs once every ten years has begun, and this time, unlike before, I see from the magic that they will destroy everything." The magician said seriously: "However, we have two hopes. The first one is that the timing of his attack is not right. Now it's early spring, followed by scorching summer and autumn, and the sunlight will weaken some of the dark powers - rather than starting in late autumn as usual."

  "Secondly, I see from magic that you have a radiant light of hope on your body, and you will be our hero!"

  "Is that so? If the nobles and people need me, I will fight for them." Fang Xin said simply.

  At this time, someone brought food. Fang Xin got off the horse and also got on the carriage, which creaked under the weight. He took over the food handed over by the servant, a bowl of stewed rabbit meat that was tender and fragrant, two slices of bread spread with butter, and a small jug of grape wine.

  "Come, let's have a drink for the future!" Fang Xin said, and at this time, the two of them were enjoying their rare delicious meal. However, after a moment, Fang Xin stopped in his tracks and revealed an enigmatic smile: "It seems we have another guest, Master Fa, I hope to see your strength in this battle."

  After finishing speaking, Fang Xin got up and got off the carriage. He didn't take off his armor, wearing dozens of kilograms of armor, without needing attendants' help, he directly jumped onto the war horse. His movements were quick and powerful, showing his formidable strength. At this time, the scout had already quickly returned.

  "Who is the intruder?"

  "There are about thirty cavalrymen led by a Dark Knight and around three hundred Dark Soldiers, they are about twenty-five kilometers away from us."

  "Hmph, it's actually a high-ranking Dark Knight, and they've arrived so quickly, without any delay?" Fang Xin thought to himself, but this was already within his expectations. With so many women and children in tow, the group couldn't move quickly, and would also leave behind many traces.

  "Up the hill!" Fang Xin immediately issued the command, and instantly, a relatively flat highland was found. This highland even had a stream, which, of course, is the most basic knowledge in classical military science.

  From the ox cart, pull down the already sharpened thick wooden stakes. These thick wooden stakes are not high or many, only about one meter, and there are only about twenty roots, but they are enough. The soldiers work hard to dig a hole first, and then use an iron hammer to knock down the thick wooden stakes, forming a simple defensive circle.

  Innumerable oxcarts were dismantled, planks were flipped over and tied to thick wooden stakes, forming a small screen-like barrier.

  They brought with them and obtained from the estate fifty sets of bows and arrows, each soldier went up first, shooting arrows from a height.

  The tenants were all driven to a low place on high ground, and although there were only a few temporary boxes around them, they were surrounded. This was both to protect them from the harm of flying arrows and to guard against - dare to make a disturbance and kill without hesitation.

  Isador Haggarty, who had been watching all along, fixed his blue flashing eyes on them tightly, and after a long time, he asked: "Knight Hannit, were you prepared for this?"

  Removing wooden boards from a cattle cart is easy to say, but rough wooden stakes must be prepared in advance, and these organizations have already been quick and effective, not improvised on the spot.

  "This is naturally, isn't preventing surprise attacks the most basic knowledge when going back?" Fang Xin looked at him strangely and said with a cold smile.

  "What about these cows? What do you want to do with them?" Isador Haggerty asked thoughtfully, seeing the cattle being driven forward, sharp knives or spikes tied to their horns and oil applied to their tails, lined up in a row.

  "This is simple, what if thirty-one cows rush down? " Fang Xin smiled and said: "Although I am reluctant to have so many cows, this is a great wealth, but if the situation is really critical, I will not hesitate to let these cows rush down. I think that even the strongest dark legion can't withstand such a charge!"

  Isard Hagt shuddered at the thought of a head-on charge by three hundred cattle, equivalent to a knight's charge. So many cows rushing down from the high ground would turn the area below into a bloody mess. If combined with a cavalry charge and followed up by a sweep, those three hundred men might lose half their numbers in an instant.

  No wonder he chose the high ground with few obstacles, Isador Haggarty looked up and Fang Xin revealed a hint of a smile, which was full of confidence and control. His eyes involuntarily sank: "You are a person who is good at creating miracles, but you don't have to, my magic can also achieve this effect!"

  "Really? I'm looking forward to it. If your magic can achieve such an effect, then of course I won't have to waste so many cows. Is that right, great wizard Isador Haggarty?"

  From that moment on, Isard Hagt realized deeply that the knight in front of him would not be blinded by his former prestige, he had his own means and did not mind seeing his magic - if he wanted to gain enough respect, he must show enough strength.

  Just then, a blackness appeared in the distance. I don't know why, but even from afar, it made people feel the chilling cold hidden within the blackness, and it inspired fear.

  As they arrived, the thick fog that had originally dispersed seemed to have strengthened again, quietly obscuring its connection with this world.

  The entire forest suddenly fell silent and became still, with no bird chirping sounds to be heard, nor even the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze.

  Fang Xinmu's expression was emotionless, but he could feel the dark power, especially that Dark Knight, so strong that just seeing him could already evoke fear.

  Is a high-ranking Dark Knight? Already one of the top martial forces in this world.

  Fang Xin immediately understood that his own strength was still insufficient to fight against such a knight, but it didn't matter, he still had the Jade Like Intention.
