Chapter 752: Chapter 684: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Facing the fierce approaching enemies and still able to smile, this person is either a fool or very confident.
The leader of the bandits, Dilan, didn’t think the son of a duke would be a fool, but with the arrow already on the bow, he couldn’t think too much and could only charge forward with all his might. He raised his knight’s lance and shouted loudly:
“Brothers, form the Blood Wolf formation, follow me to kill everyone ahead, leave no one alive.”
“Kill kill kill!”
The bandits responded with an even louder battle cry. The armor on their bodies made a series of mechanical transformations, and in an instant, all the armors had two wolf-head shoulders, and wolf-shaped deep patterns appeared on the helmets, breastplates, and waist cinchers.
A thin, blood-like glow spread from the armor and connected together, then condensed into a roaring wolf shadow.
It turned out that they were facing the notorious and large-scale bandit group — the Blood Wolf Bandits.
This time, it seemed like the entire bandit group was in motion, and just in front were nearly two hundred people. Seeing the numerous bandits on both sides, many people could feel a cold chill in their hearts.
“Sir Sami, shall we retreat to the train first and use it as a barrier to defend against these Blood Wolf Bandits?”
“Protect Shirly well, I will go face them.”
There were of course guards loyal to Sami on this train, but more were stationed in Black Flame City; currently, the guard numbers were far inferior to the Blood Wolf Bandits.
The situation was precarious.
Sami left a word behind, and after donning his armor, he leaped high.
Under many disbelieving gazes, his armor rapidly transformed, turning him into a Steel Flying Tiger, full of majestic tiger might, with flames and clouds coiling around its sharp claws.
The Steel Flying Tiger was a full six to seven meters long, appearing as a massive being.
“No, this should be the noble’s legacy Divine Armor.”
“Shut up! Whatever armor it is, it’s no match for our Blood Wolves.”
Witnessing this scene, some chaos arose among the Blood Wolf Bandits, but under Dilan’s angry rebuke, they quickly calmed down.
The Steel Flying Tiger over there flapped its wings and charged forward at an unexpected speed. Dilan realized that the duke’s son in front of him would be hard to deal with and couldn’t help but curse the person who gave him the information.
He tightly gripped his lance, gathering all kinds of strengths to its tip.
“Roar!”
As the distance between both sides grew closer, the Steel Flying Tiger let out a deafening roar, spewing thick fiery smoke from its mouth, sweeping towards the front, overwhelming in momentum.
Dilan and his gang never expected the Steel Knight to launch such an attack, caught off guard, they were engulfed in heavy star fire and grey smoke.
The Steel Flying Tiger, taking advantage, rushed into the fiery smoke, under the thick smoke immediately came screams of pain.
“Look! Look!”
“It’s Lord Sami.”
“This lord is so powerful, could it be the duke family’s Divine Armor on him? Lord Sami’s recent rise is visible to all, regaining the Virginia family’s recognition is understandable too.”
Amidst the smoke, the Blood Wolf Bandits could still be seen being thrown out by massive strength one after another, which shocked those on the train secretly observing the battle, making them forget there were other fierce attackers on the other side.
The train guards, upon seeing this, were uplifted in spirit, and tried to engage with the bandits on the other side under the command of their squad leader.
Before long, a Steel Flying Tiger burst out of the significantly thinned smoke, moving towards the other side of the train, leaving behind lifeless bodies and panicked horses.
“Victory!”
“Victory!”
“Lord Sami is mighty!”
“Lord Sami is mighty!”
In the face of absolute strength, the vicious Blood Wolf Bandits soon perished completely, dead or captured.
Compared to the slow-reacting train guards, Sami, who hadn’t shown much skill previously, saved the day this time, earning cheers from everyone, including the surviving passengers.
Subsequently, the damaged tracks were repaired, and the train was put back on track section by section.
The train set off once again.
“Brother, isn’t that the family’s Divine Armor?”
“You guess.”
“I understand. Brother Sami must have another inheritance, a very ancient and great inheritance. Brother is really, not even a hint to Shirly, causing her so much worry for you.”
“Shirly is really smart.”
“Brother, what is your actual level of power now?”
“You guess.”
“——”
Sami garnered major admiration, especially from his sister Shirly.
Looking at his lively sister in front of him, a hint of amusement flashed in Sami’s eyes; how could the family’s Divine Armor compare to the Hundred-Change Armor created by a Divine Venerable, to date, he had only shown a fraction of the Hundred-Change Armor’s power, like the tip of an iceberg.
As for his power level, if he erupted with full force, the whole country would tremble, and his sister Shirly might even be dumbstruck.
“Brother, brother, are you listening to me?”
“I am listening.”
“You tell me, how are these Blood Wolf Bandits so bold, daring to rob our Virginia belongings.”
“The reason is simple, someone is supporting them from behind.”
“Huh?”
Sami didn’t bother with his sister’s astonishment, deep in his eyes grew a trace of coldness.
Those targeting him this time weren’t just the Blood Wolf Bandits, but some hidden Death Soldiers, whose overall strength even surpassed the bandit group, ending up the same anyways.
As for who sent them? He didn’t even need to interrogate them; he could guess most of it.
He hadn’t expected that even after leaving for the frontier regions, there’d still be people coveting his belongings, just like when he was very young, did they really think he was made of clay?
