Bloodline Wizard's Dragon Transformation Diary

Chapter 153 The Shield Knight

As Luo Ang spoke, the night outside the circle grew even colder.

The knights who had gathered outside were initially indifferent, but then erupted into a clamor.

A moment later, a cold laugh rang out.

"So, he really is a virtuous knight who wants to protect the weak."

"Then let me see if you, the virtuous knight, have the strength to protect the weak."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a heavily armored knight charged toward Loen.

The knight was fully armed, his entire body encased in heavy armor, and he held a large shield in his left hand, concealing himself behind it.

This entire outfit, including the armor and shield, weighs well over several hundred pounds.

On the battlefield, even a "National Guardian" knight would not want to encounter such an opponent—just three or five such knights, armed with shields and heavy armor, could trap a National Guardian knight.

At this moment, the shield knight, who was huddled behind his shield, charged towards Loon with his heavy armor. The sound of his thunderous footsteps hitting the ground was as awe-inspiring as the beating of drums, and it instilled a sense of fear in people. It made people feel that even if it was a city gate that stood in front of this knight, it would be smashed to pieces by this impact.

Everyone else on the path, whether knights or ordinary people, and regardless of which faction they belonged to, moved aside to make way for the shield-bearer as he charged—leaving no further obstruction between the charging shield-bearer and Loon.

The force generated by this charge, although it is also a material force, is the type of force that wizards hate and despise the most: impact, vibration, and crushing.

The damage caused by this type of force is very unique—before the force reaches a certain level, the damage is not as great as a slash or stab, nor is it as obvious.

However, once it exceeds a certain limit, it will damage a person's very nature and can crush a person into mincemeat.

Even wizards might not be able to withstand this kind of damage.

In data terms, it means instantly depleting a living being's health bar while simultaneously applying a negative status effect such as "severe injury and crushing".

No matter how much you quantify things, no matter how much you don't care about the damage on the 'material' level, and no matter how high your recovery ability is, what good is it if your physical body is crushed?

Such damage is like suffocation, capable of touching the soul and spirit.

Therefore, even if the one charging at him was a wizard, he would choose to avoid it rather than take the charge head-on.

Of course, if it were a wizard, the way he would deal with this charge would be very simple.

With just a slight nudge of one's mental power, and a little interference with reality, one can transform the smooth path of charge into a rugged road full of traps.

All it takes is a mental strike to trip the charging knight's leg... and the knight will fall to the ground...

However, now that everyone is watching, it is clear that Luo Ang cannot use his mental power to 'cheate'.

Therefore, given his current physical condition, he had no choice but to dodge the charging knight.

But he couldn't hide.

He stood on the circle, and behind him, within the circle he had drawn, were the refugees who had taken refuge there.

Even if he yields, the shield-wielding knight charging forward will absolutely not adjust his course, much less stop his charge.

Instead, they would charge directly at the refugees.

One can only imagine how horrific the scene would be.

—And Loon had just declared his protection of this circle a moment ago, and the next moment, he let this shield knight rush into the circle and plow through the refugees in a day of bloodshed... This will definitely have a great impact on Loon's reputation and rationality.

Therefore, facing the charging shield knights, Loon could only confront them head-on—and he couldn't use the wizard's mental power to cheat.

It's easy to imagine how difficult this situation is.

The fact that this shield-wielding knight could create such a situation in an instant speaks volumes about his experience in dominating the game.

It's easy to imagine how strong the desire of these people outside is to drag the Hushan family into this mess.

"Strange." Seeing everyone making way for the shield knight—and even the presence of wizards' mental energy causing those who were less willing to give way to 'push aside'—a new question arose in Loon's mind.

Those "neutral" "independent nobles" wanted to push the Lake Mountain family out as a scapegoat, and wanted to use the Lake Mountain family's power to keep everyone independent and neutral—Luo Ang could understand this.

The Xulun family, which is being strangled, needs to drag these 'neutral' nobles into the mess, a point that Loon can understand.

After all, they needed to create more chaos to cover their escape.

But what about the four noble families supported by the wizards? What are they after?

What are the four wizards behind them up to?

Surely they don't want to use this opportunity to completely divide the Kingdom of the Shield into four parts, making all the nobles in the Kingdom of the Shield, except for the four major nobles, vassals of the four major nobles?

This was a significant event for the four noble families, but what significance did it hold for Ralph the wizard and his companions?

Surely this isn't their "compensation" to the nobility?

"Never mind, I'll get the answer from Ralph the wizard after I meet him."

"As for now..."

"Let's deal with the current situation first." Lo Ang looked at the shield knight charging towards him, unsheathed his longsword, and held it up to the charging knight.

As the shield-bearer charged closer, the unfolding life field naturally enveloped him.

Along with this life field, Loon's perception encompassed the entire body of the shield knight.

The shield in his hand was extremely thick.

The edge of the shield has some semi-circular "notches"—but in reality, they are not notches.

Instead, it is a specially designed round hole.

Behind the shield of this shield knight lies a short iron spear. When charging, he only needs to place the short iron spear at the semi-circular hole, and an extremely sharp iron spike will immediately "grow" from the shield, piercing through everything.

Behind the shield and spear, the shield knight's armor was a full suit of armor, covering every corner of his body completely.

Even the eyes were not ordinary slits or holes, but countless tiny, translucent dots, each only a few millimeters in diameter.

The knight used these translucent dots to observe his surroundings while charging—this also prevented his enemies from piercing his skull with a sword through the eyeholes in his helmet.

The best way to kill such an enemy is to use a heavy weapon like a mace, whose immense force can directly crush them through their armor.

But at this moment, Luo Ang only had a long sword in his hand.

Even an ordinary knight, or even a "national knight," would find it difficult to pose any threat to the charging shield knight with this longsword.

Fortunately, Loon is not a simple knight either.
