Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 284: Chapter 0284: Attack (Third Update, Asking For Subscription)

Translator: 549690339

Early dawn.

Su Lu went to the stables, led away the old horse that had been fed, and left the inn.

He changed into a clean set of rider’s clothes, a favorite decoration of the aristocrats on the Dragon Continent when they went hunting as it facilitated activity.

Adding to that, the cross sword hanging around his waist and the package on the back of the horse, he really looked like a wandering knight about to take a long journey.

“After all, the North Territory is too remote… The real core of this era is still in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, not to mention the Dragon Tomb there…”

Su Lu planned to take the King’s Avenue directly to the capital!

Being a carefree person, embarking on a journey the moment he decides to, is just as simple as that!

He rode out of the gates of Wolf Fort just like that.

The city wall was still covered in thin snow.

Andrew and Mas just watched his back fade into a black speck in the distance.

“Why… It’s just a civilian. Just find a Public Security Officer, make up any excuse…” Mas looked at Andrew, somewhat puzzled.

In his opinion, this would be the safest way.

If Su Lu dares to resist, then it would mean a violation of the laws of the Northern Land! It would mean being against the entire Wolf Fort. Anyway, the knight team of the North Territory is stationed here, so there’s no way to escape.

And if he doesn’t resist and is thrown into the dark prison, he could easily be killed off.

In this era, the words of nobles are the law, and a human life isn’t worth much.

“If it were to deal with any ordinary civilian with no background, perhaps this would be enough, but after all, he is a black iron-level knight, and he has even met the Duke… If things go south, how do you think the Duke would view us?” Andrew shook his head.

Mas couldn’t help but think of the reputation of Duke Frank.

The duke was known for being old-fashioned yet fair, the kind of true ‘honor nobility’, and Mas couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat.

“So… the best way is to make him die quietly.” Andrew smiled: “I’ll take my squad—we’re supposed to patrol with crossbows… Due to Madam Monfali, the Duke requested the knight team to strengthen the security around, we are completely justified… by that time, we will intercept him and directly execute him in the name of bandits.”

A chill ran through Mas’s heart.

Each official knight from the Knight team of the North Territory has four or five attendants. Although they aren’t of the black-iron level, they’re pretty strong regular knights all the same.

A middle squadron has five official knights. Adding him, an outsider, and a squadron leader!

Just the attendant knights alone are more than thirty, enough to fight a small war!

“So many people, coupled with crossbow arrows. A black-iron level… No, even a bronze-level knight, if he is stuck, he’s probably going to die in the end.”

He looked at Andrew, feeling as though he needed to take him more seriously.

Such deceit and this level of dedication, it was truly horrifying.

Su Lu rode on the horse, unaware of the conspiracy that was nearing him.

Or shall we say, even if he knew, he would simply laugh it off.

His attention is now focused on the constitution in the attribute bar.

Under his gaze, the 350 points in the experience column became semi-transparent, as if they were about to reduce to zero in the next moment, but the constitution of 4.3 remained lofty and immovable, like an unmelting glacier for ten millennia.

“As I thought… Using experience to increase attributes is the most unprofitable…”

After half a day, Su Lu gave up trying and sighed.

From the beginning, he knew that the ‘versatility’ of experience points, not only can they upgrade skills and passives, but they can also directly upgrade attributes.

But the consumption is too horrifying.

At a low level, upgrading 0.1 requires about 100 experience points, and when the various attributes break through the peak, the demand is even more skyrocketing.

Until now, more than three hundred points of experience can’t even upgrade 0.1 of constitution, it’s completely not worth it.

And this is only the third attribute of constitution!

The thought of the main attribute of spirit and the auxiliary attribute of agility was utterly despairing!

“Indeed… Elevating skills through experience points, thus leading to attribute enhancement, is indeed the most economical method.”

“Huh?”

The spread out inspiration suddenly sensed danger.

Whoosh!

Su Lu dodged an arrow by tilting his head.

The next moment, thrum! Thrum!

A large number of knights appeared, surrounding him from all sides. There were more than forty of them, each wearing armor.

Although most were clad in iron-plated armor, seven of them were fully armed knights!

Most of them wore white robes, moving with disarray, but emanating wild vigor. A rider was holding a flag, on the blue surface of which was depicted a pale rushing wolf!

“The North Territory knight team?”

Su Lu stared at those seven vocational knights, recognizing a familiar face: “Knight Mas…have you come to kill me?”

Mas lifted his face helmet: “Citizen Su Lu Pottery! On Duke’s command to eradicate local security threats, we suspect you of colluding with the Mountain Tribe. Come back with us for interrogation immediately!”

It certainly was a lie; all the knights had received orders before setting out that once disarmed, Su Lu was to be killed on the spot!

“From your eyes, I see hatred and jealousy. Can you tell me why?”

Su Lu was certainly no fool, but out of curiosity, he still had to ask.

“Ha-ha… Maybe it’s because you’re too young, your face is more handsome than his. Our Sir Mas has never been a generous man.”

In the middle of the knights, Andrew laughed loudly, “Crossbow ready!”

Beside them, at least a dozen knights raised their crossbows, aiming at Su Lu.

“Even if you are a speed-based knight, you can’t escape under this kind of no-blind-spot shooting…unless you are a Silver Knight.”

Andrew introduced himself: “Introduce myself, I am Andrew, the captain of the North Territory knight team… When your soul is dragged away by the Ice Ghost, you can mention my name.”

In a North Territory legend, Ice Ghost symbolizes not only natural disasters and horror but also the infamous notion of being servitors of death, dragging each deceased’s soul into the underworld, forbidding them to ascend to God’s Domain.

“Start!”

Knight Mas signaled.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Over ten crossbows roared.

The speed triggered by this device, along with the peripheral shooting, could lead any rank-three or lower vocational person to a bitter end.

Just like in the main world, even though first-tier and second-tier vocational persons are in possession of some extraordinary powers, they too must face a miserable end when confronted with firearms.

Puff! Puff!

One by one, the arrows stabbed into Su Lu, but deflected at a critical spot, forming a circle around him on the ground.

“Sigh…”

Su Lu sighed lightly: “I originally didn’t want to reap, and yet you deliberately come to me!”

In his hand, a Trick Card had already turned to ash.

This was a tier-three ‘Shift Field’ card. In the main world, it could even withstand an attack from firearms. In this world, though weakened, it had no problem deflecting some crossbow arrows.

“Wizard!”

“He’s a wizard!”

Amidst the knights, someone suddenly shouted, his voice filled with inescapable fear.
