242 Royal Knight

That lightning sword was for sure not belonging to the Templar Knight. This was the old man's first time to see that, and none of the available Templar Knight could use that skill.

The same for the Supreme Blessing of the Radiant Temple, Templar Knight was a class that was bestowed by the Goddesses to their followers with a certain aptitude.

There were only seven Templar Knights in Waskin City, and the old man never witnessed such a skill from seven of them. The answer was one, that skill just now was Tang's skill. By now he should realize how strong Tang was, but comparable or even more powerful Templar Knight? He never thought about that.

"See, you don't need to worry about our Boss. He's so strong that I don't even know how strong he is," Cao Yuntai tapped Chief Rick's shoulder and smiled. That was an honest thought from him, he truly did not know how strong his Boss was. He never saw his Boss struggling to finish off his opponent, not even once.

"Just who are you?" The old man was sure that these people came from a big background. Cao Yuntai smiled, "You should ask that to our Boss. I don't want to be scolded by my Boss."

"Boss? He is not just a normal party leader, but your Boss?" Chief Rick was struck by a sudden realization that they were calling Tang with the Boss, not just because he was their leader or the strongest amongst them.

There was one group that would call their leader with that name, Bandits. The bandits would call their leader with the Boss. Then suddenly the Church was targeting them, the dot was starting to connect to create a shape in his mind. These people were the most wanted bandits in the kingdom, Blood Bringer.

"You guys are Blood Bringer?" That was the best the old man could come up with, but that was certainly wrong, "Blood Bringer? What's that? Don't mix us with a strange name like that, the Boss will not like it. You should ask him instead, I do believe he will tell you the truth since you are getting involved with our matter."

"And Chief Rick, you should get your people ready, we have guests for us," Cao Yuntai and Fan Rui sheathed out their swords. The old man turned around, a big group of knights came into his sight.

If the Guardian Knight was wearing silver armor, these knights were wearing bright red armor with a yellow cape on the back. A black crow was embedded on the cape, a crest of the Waskin Family.

"Royal Knight? What are they doing here?" Chief Rick recognized in one glance that the group was part of the Royal Knight, an exclusive force under the Waskin Family, "Did you also offend the Waskin Family?"

"Stop with your nonsense Chief Rick. I don't even know why the Church is targeting us, let alone this Waskin Family," Cao Yuntai retorted.

The leader of the Royal Knight stepped forward, "Surrender yourself, Tarrior Party! You have broken the law of the Waskin city for murder! Surrender and atone your sins with the Royal Trial!"

"Did you kill someone?" The old man immediately turned toward Cao Yuntai but the latter shook his head, "Kill? We have conflict, and our Boss almost killed someone indeed but he did not kill the person. Those were saved by the Guild Master and Arina the Cleric could be a witness for that, she was part of their party. If I am correct, you should have listened to the rumors about our Boss already, a Wood Rank defeated two Platinum Rank Adventurers! That was the reason why you were so excited back then, right?"

Chief Rick was not a fool, when he heard that, he instantly understood the Royal Knight was falsely accusing Tang and his party. It should be the Church and the city lord were working together to capture Tang and his party.

"But how do they know our location so fast? Only me and my people know the secret passage. And only us who know this abandoned village, why could the Royal Knight reach this place so fast?" Chief Rick realized something amiss too.

They moved to the abandoned village a few hours ago through the secret passage and path. They did not even use the gate to come out of the city. So how did the Royal Knight know this village? There was something amiss about the issue.

"That's not our main issue now. There are many of them, you go escort the villagers out. We can't win against them without our Boss," Cao Yuntai noticed that the number of these Royal Knights were too many for them to handle.

"No mercy for everyone who resists the arrest! Put your weapon down and Surrender now!" The captain of the Royal Knight warned Cao Yuntai.

Cao Yuntai ignored the warning, of course. He pushed the old man into the abandoned village, "Leave them to us!" As someone who involved these innocents in their matter, he felt responsible for them. The older man put himself as the bait so the villagers could leave unscathed.

Meanwhile, not far from the north gate, where the Templar Knight and Tang Shaoyang battled. A big crater formed after the four gigantic swords made of lightning descended.

In the center of the crater, there was a body with tattered silver armor, laying down while facing the sky. Henry was aware that he was not going to live longer, his breathing weakly but also calmly. In the face of death, he was surprisingly calm.

"Goddess of Harmony~ I have failed you, I can't finish the task you have given to me…" at the last of his breath, the Templar Knight was still thinking about his Goddess.

"No wonder Old Man Rick called you guys brainwashed-lunatic, even in the face of death, your useless Goddess what you think," Tang Shaoyang appeared above the dying knight.

The handsome look could no longer be seen as the lightning burned his face. His shiny hair was burned as well a gruesome scalding mark replaced his hair. Henry moved his pupils to the man, the target he should kill.

Instead of fear or fury, the Templar Knight smiled. The burned lips curved upward as a hoarse voice flowed out of his lips, "I failed to kill you… but what about your people? Your women?"

The grin on the knight's face became apparent as blood started to seep out from his face, but it seemed the pain was not a problem for him, "The Royal Knight of the Waskin Family is dispatched to capture your people–"

Before Henry could finish his words, Tang Shaoyang raised the battle-ax and slammed down toward the neck. The Templar Knight could not finish his words as his head rolled over.

Tang Shaoyang immediately left the place and headed toward the northwest.

Not long after he left, a big group of guards approached the crater. The battle was too big to remain unnoticed.

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang charged forward with his maximum speed. After three times of [Lightning Flash], he managed to reach the abandoned village in three minutes.

However, the abandoned village was in a mess as a big group of red armored knights invaded the abandoned village. There was no need for him to identify who's the opponent or friend, it was as clear as the sky.
