Chapter 315: Siege

"Are you crazy?"

The one speaking was a woman with a beautiful face among them; she wore a sky-blue long dress and had long golden-brown hair similar to Blanche's.

However, Luoning was certain that besides the eldest Princess Xuelun and the second Princess Julia, who had already married out, His Majesty Bruno only had this youngest Princess, Blanche.

Therefore, the person before him was definitely not any princess.

Luoning glanced at the other party indifferently and provoked, "Why, can you only find your confidence from your weak Knights?"

He looked at the red-haired man: "Either nod and agree, or shake your head and refuse; letting a woman stand up for you, what kind of man are you?"

"You!"

The red-haired man was clearly enraged by Luoning's words, "I would like to see just what kind of ability you have to dare to be so arrogant!"

As he spoke, his figure flashed and he charged toward Luoning.

His entire body was covered in Battle Qi Armor, and he arrived in front of Luoning at an extremely fast speed.

Battle Qi surged, flames erupted, and he smashed a fist fiercely toward Luoning's face.

Not weak strength.

A trace of coldness flashed in Luoning's eyes; he did not dodge, nor did he use his sword, but instead met the red-haired man's fist with a strike of his own.

The two fists collided, emitting a muffled sound.

The red-haired man's expression changed; he felt as if his fist had struck a mountain wall, not only feeling unbearable pain but also being shaken into retreating repeatedly.

In contrast, Luoning stood where he was, not moving even an inch.

"This..."

A trace of shock flashed in the red-haired man's eyes; he truly did not expect the other party to be as powerful as the rumors said.

And at this moment, the people nearby were also stunned.

They had originally thought Luoning would pay the price for his arrogance, but they did not expect that the one at a disadvantage upon the first exchange would be their own side.

"It seems I underestimated you!" The red-haired man took a deep breath, reached out his hand, and the Knight under his command presented Along sword.

A trace of gravity flashed in his eyes, "However, you are not qualified to be arrogant in front of the Vila Family!"

Luoning's heart stirred.

This red-haired man actually came from the Vila Principality to the right of Wushan Territory; no wonder the other party mentioned his grandfather earlier.

"Back then, it was Andrea who provided false intelligence, which caused my uncle to die in battle and left my grandfather severely injured."

Luoning sneered: "Now you have injured my attendants at the Jinyu Palace and slandered my reputation; heh, you are truly a grandfather and grandson pair!"

"You are courting death!"

This time the red-haired man was truly angry; he brandished his long sword, slashing out an overwhelming sea of flames, as if wanting to burn Luoning into flying ash.

"This is the Battle Technique Instant Burn that only a Silver Knight can use."

Luoning had a rough judgment of the other party's strength; Andrea's grandson still had some ability.

He used the same move; the monstrous flames met in the air, emitting a deafening roar, and the heat wave swept in all directions, causing the surrounding landscape plants to rustle loudly.

"What happened over there?"

"Are there Knights fighting?"

"That's impossible, this is the Jinyu Palace; who would be so reckless?"

The various nobles and guests who had come to attend the birthday banquet were almost all arranged nearby, and after hearing this roar and the rising flames, they walked out one after another.

At the same time, the Knight Squad of the Wangong had already quickly rushed toward this side.

The Battle Qi flames clashed and devoured each other, but Luoning's move was stronger; it not only suppressed all of the opponent's, but also crushed forward with remaining force.

"Not good!"

The red-haired man secretly cried out and hurriedly raised his sword to release Battle Qi to resist.

But the speed of the Battle Technique impact was very fast, and before he was ready, it had completely covered his body.

Fortunately, the Battle Qi Armor played a role and defended against the remaining force.

However, the punch Luoning followed up with smashed directly into the other party's chest, and the huge force sent the red-haired man flying out.

"Puff!"

The red-haired man fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood; he could feel that several of his ribs were broken.

He truly did not expect that he would actually fail in an instant.

"You should be glad you didn't agree to a life-and-death duel just now; otherwise, what hit you just now wouldn't have been my fist, but the long sword in my hand."

The other party was the grandson of the Grand Duke of Vila; despite the conflict, if the other party had not agreed to a life-and-death duel and there were no outsiders to witness it, it would be too unwise for Luoning to kill him.

On the contrary, just breaking two of the other party's ribs was still justifiable.

"Can you tell me your name now?"

"I..."

"Forget it." Luoning interrupted the other party's words, "There is no need to remember the person defeated by me."

"You..."

The red-haired man was so angry his face turned red, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Luoning, however, turned his gaze to the remaining ones: "Who else is the one who injured my attendants?"

The remaining two men and two women had somewhat evasive gazes; they did not expect Luoning to be so strong, and even less did they expect that he would truly dare to use such heavy force.

The grandson of the Grand Duke of Vila, just like that, was injured.

"What a coward!"

Luoning sneered: "If you don't dare to fight me, then obediently apologize to my Knights. Also, given that their injuries are so severe they still cannot stand up, I need you to pay five thousand gold coins each for medical expenses!"

"Don't talk nonsense with him, attack together!"

The red-haired man shouted loudly; what Knight spirit, what noble face—now he only had anger, and only by beating Luoning to the ground could he calm the fury in his heart.

"Charge!"

The remaining few did not hesitate, immediately drawing their longswords and pouncing toward Luoning, instantly creating a nine-against-one situation.

Luoning used a Flame Whirlwind, instantly sending five of them flying; only four broke through this Battle Technique and came to kill Luoning from four directions.

"Too weak."

Although Luoning was not strong, at this moment, one look was enough to see that the movements of these four were full of openings.

As their longswords clashed, Luoning relied on his lead in strength, speed, and technique, and he was surprisingly at ease while facing the close-quarters siege of the four.

Seeing that the siege was ineffective, the four joined forces to use Battle Techniques.

Battle Techniques like Storm Blade and Flame Slash were all unleashed toward Luoning.

At the same time, one of the women who had not yet joined the battle was actually a Magician, and she cast a Water Arrow Technique, hurling it toward Luoning.

At this moment, the guard squad of the Jinyu Palace had already arrived at the scene, and upon arrival, they saw such a spectacular scene.

Which noble bigwig was this, actually fighting five... no, six, seven, eight, nine?

"Vila, Fleming, Auduin, Greg, Wushan..."

The captain of this Knight Squad felt his scalp tingle instantly.

"Quick, hurry and stop this fight!"

He took the lead and charged forward.

The others did not dare to be careless either, all erupting with Battle Qi, transforming into a firewall as they rushed toward the center of the battlefield at the fastest speed.

Their speed was not slow, but how could it be faster than Battle Techniques and Magic?

Facing such a siege, Luoning did not dare to be careless, nor could he count on the arriving Knights to help him block it.

At the same time, he needed to respond cautiously, because using a move that was too strong, such as Explosive Flame Slash, might accidentally cause death or injury to the opponents.

"Whirlwind Cross Slash!"

Rumble—

The attack of the Whirlwind Cross Slash was more concentrated, and relatively speaking, it was somewhat stronger than Instant Burn.

Even so, the combined attack of the five was still stronger, shattering Luoning's Battle Technique.

Seeing that the Knights of the Jinyu Palace had already arrived, and seeing that the remaining power of the opponents' combined attack was not too strong, Luoning simply gave up resistance and let the remaining power impact his body.

Bang!

His whole body shook, and he could still feel a sense of discomfort.

Accompanied by the impact, plus the fact that he pushed off the ground with a little force, his whole person was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground.

"My Lord!"

Tangmu and Dawei crawled over in a panic; they had never seen the Lord suffer such a heavy injury.

"Everyone... stop!"

The Knight Commander and the others finally blocked the center, stopping the conflict that might have continued to escalate.

"I ask that you all stop!"

Luoning propped himself up and sat on the ground.

"This Knight, you arrived just in time!"

He coughed, as if he were very heavily injured: "If you had been any later, I fear I would have been killed by their combined efforts!" (End of chapter)
