Chapter 654 Knight
A deafening roar echoed through the forest, stunning both the adventurers and the crazed monster rats.
Red Fox was also stunned, but compared to the others, the loud noise had a much greater impact on him. Stunned, he looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of him and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Are you okay?"
A moment later, the other side spoke first. The knight who had suddenly appeared turned to Red Fox, seemingly concerned about his injuries, since Red Fox looked really bad.
"No...it's okay..."
Red Fox responded instinctively, showing considerable shock at the knight's appearance, not only because he had saved him, but also because of his immense strength.
Red Fox looked past the knight's figure and behind him. He saw the giant rat that had been preparing to attack him standing on the ground in a miserable state. There was a huge hole in its chest, and the life in its eyes had long been gone.
The body that was still standing seemed to have been caught off guard by the knight's sudden attack, leaving it no time to react.
Even though Red Fox couldn't see the knight's attack clearly, she was still shocked by his powerful strength.
Returning to his injuries, he was certainly not truly unharmed. After the intense battle, most of his armor was damaged, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises, bleeding profusely.
However, as long as he survives, he's already fine.
Thinking of this, Red Fox felt he had to thank the other party. After expressing his gratitude, he also checked the attire of his savior.
The first thing that catches the eye is the full-coverage knight's armor. The front breastplate features a slightly raised golden lion emblem, while the shoulder armor and helmet seem to be inspired by the fantastical creature, the griffin.
The armor is predominantly silver-white with subtle gold accents, giving it a luxurious yet understated look.
Although she didn't recognize the guy in front of her, just by looking at his clothes, she knew that this person's identity was definitely not simple. Having lived for so many years, Red Fox still had some basic identification abilities, and she could tell that the knight in front of her was no ordinary person.
Combined with the ability to kill the giant rat in one strike, could he be a Gold-rank expert?
However, his voice sounded rather young. Was he really such a young Gold-rank expert?
As he was thinking, a ray of sunlight pierced through the forest and shone on the knight. Looking at the imposing figure of his savior, Red Fox was stunned for a moment.
Hiss! Roar!
However, at that moment, a series of roars came from all around again. The red fox came back to its senses from its daze and found that the giant rats that were still alive had begun to roar loudly in unison, as if they were still calling for something.
Oh no! I forgot we're still on the battlefield!
"Oh no! Those giant rats are calling for their companions!"
"Sir Knight! We must evacuate immediately, or we'll be in danger when the other monster rats arrive!"
Since she didn't know her savior's real name, in this emergency, the red fox could only refer to him by his appearance.
This also shows that the situation was really urgent. After saying this, Red Fox quickly organized the teammates who were still able to move and prepared to leave with the wounded.
The remaining strange rats were wary of the mysterious knight, so they dared not advance rashly before their companions arrived. This gave Red Fox and his group a chance to retreat. Although they didn't know if they could escape, they couldn't just wait to die in the same spot!
However, after Red Fox had organized his men and prepared to retreat, he suddenly discovered that his savior had not left, but was standing still.
"Sir! We have to retreat!!"
Red Fox didn't know what he meant, but he couldn't possibly abandon his savior.
"You guys go first. I can sense a large enemy force approaching. There's no way to escape by running away directly. I'll stay here to cover your retreat. You guys retreat first."
Upon hearing the knight's words, Red Fox was immediately startled. After the series of events that had just transpired, he was terrified of these strange rats to the core, and he immediately began to persuade him:
"No! You don't need to do this. Let's retreat together. There are many strange rats in this forest. Even if you are very powerful, you can't possibly fight so many by yourself. If we leave now, we still have a chance!"
Red Fox wanted to pull the knight away, but in his current state, he wasn't even sure he could leave on his own, let alone pull the knight away.
This back and forth took up time, and soon enough, pairs of red eyes reappeared in the forest.
When Red Fox saw the sheer number of them, he was almost scared to death. Countless strange rats filled the entire forest, knocking down all the surrounding trees. They looked like a dark, surging tide.
"Hurry up! You've seen it yourself, there are just too many monsters to handle. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
The red fox's words of advice reached the knight's ears. Looking at the vast swarm of strange rats, and the enormous creatures within the rat colony, even he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Has it already reached this scale?"
Although there was some annoyance in his tone, the knight didn't seem to have any intention of retreating, which made Red Fox extremely anxious, but he also knew that he couldn't persuade the other party.
Therefore, in the end, he could only let the others retreat first, choosing to stay behind and fight alongside the knights.
"you......"
"Don't try to stop me. I can't just stand by and watch a hero like you fight alone!"
Before the knight could speak, Red Fox blocked his way. Red Fox was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and it was impossible for him to abandon his savior and run away.
The other wounded have already retreated, and by staying with this knight, he might be able to buy some time.
The red fox was not afraid. Perhaps it was because it thought that it was fighting alongside a hero that its fear of the monster rat was greatly suppressed.
However, just as he was pondering his next move in the battle, his benefactor suddenly grabbed him by the collar.
"Sir, what are you doing...?"
Before the red fox could figure out what was going on, it suddenly heard a sentence in its ear.
"Don't worry about me, after all, I am..."
call! ! ! !
Before the other party could finish speaking, they suddenly exerted force and threw the red fox. The fox felt a dizzying sensation and when it came to its senses, it was already a hundred meters in the air.
"I......"
The red fox's expression immediately turned extremely terrified, but before he could say anything, a hawk's cry came from beside him.
Watching the red fox being carried away by someone, the mysterious knight finally relaxed. Then, turning to the monstrous rats preparing to attack, he finally uttered the unfinished words:
"But I am..."
"Hero!"
