CHAPTER 723: 565 GREEN FOREST PATTERN MEDAL

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The knocking at the door was incredibly rough.

From the sound of the knocking, it was clear that the person outside was an unwelcome intruder with bad intentions.

And indeed it was.

"Come out, those of you inside!"

The person outside shouted loudly, completely devoid of politeness.

Reiger was certain that the knocking was merely a formality; if there was no response from the inside in the next few seconds, the door would be broken down immediately.

But even knowing this, Reiger still had no intention of responding. He just stood by the window, looking at the door being violently knocked, as if waiting for the intruders to start trouble.

"Master!"

At this moment, it was Liz who emerged first.

The little princess had already taken off her coat, and after hearing the knocking, she rushed out from the bedroom, holding a sword in her arms, her face full of panic. To the unaware, it seemed as if she had encountered a villain, and she didn’t at all resemble the highly skilled True Swordsman that she was.

It was then that the people outside finally broke in.

"Boom!"

The door was violently kicked open, emitting a loud crash that allowed the images of Reiger and Liz to be taken in by those outside.

There stood two Knights dressed in the same uniform as the ones who had surrounded the place, each with a regulation knight’s sword at their waists.

On their left and right chests, they each wore two medals.

One was the True Knight Medal.

The other was a medal with a forest pattern.

These two medals told everyone who they were.

They were Oasis Knights, Order Maintainers directly under the command of the City Lord.

Behind them was a Sword Saint.

The force they belonged to was the City Lord’s office.

They were the most powerful official organization in Xin Ye City, contending with the forces of the entire Underworld.

But they had obviously targeted the wrong person this time.

"Swoosh!"

The moment one of the Oasis Knights violently kicked open the door, Reiger flashed in front of the man who had yet to retract his foot.

"Thump!"

With a muffled sound, Reiger delivered a kick to the chest of the Oasis Knight, sending him flying out.

"Guh-cough...!"

The Oasis Knight, who hadn’t yet retracted his foot, was kicked directly against the corridor wall. He hit it hard, causing the wall to crack while he let out a stifled cry of pain.

"Didn’t your mother teach you that if someone doesn’t open the door for you, it means they don’t welcome you?"

Reiger looked coldly at the Oasis Knight collapsed by the wall and spoke indifferently.

"You...!"

The Oasis Knight that crashed against the wall immediately clutched his chest, seething with anger.

Meanwhile, the other Oasis Knight only reacted at this time. Without a second word, he drew the sword from his waist and chopped towards the nearby Reiger.

However, before the man’s blade could reach Reiger, a dazzling golden sword clashed with it.

"Clang!"

Sparks flying everywhere, the Moslo Sword deflected the Oasis Knight’s strike, forcing him back.

"You may not harm the Master."

Liz, who had somehow moved to Reiger’s side without notice, no longer displayed any panic on her face, replaced now by the calm and majesty befitting a battle-ready warrior.

"What?"

The Oasis Knight was shocked that the girl before him could deflect his attack and force him back.

He knew they were likely to encounter a formidable outsider this time, and he probably wasn’t a match, but he had not expected this seemingly beautiful and delicate girl to also have the strength to push him back.

Was she also a True Swordsman?

A True Swordsman so young?

And so beautiful?

How was that possible?

This thought only flashed through the Oasis Knight’s mind for a moment before he realized that now was not the time to dwell on such things.

"Engage!"

He shouted this command and the room welcomed new intruders.

"Bang!"

In the sound of simultaneous shattering, the room’s windows were smashed, the ceiling was broken, the side walls were battered, and even the floor was cracked, allowing several figures to quickly enter from outside, above, below, and the sides, lunging toward Reiger and Liz.

All of them were wearing regulation knight uniforms, armed with standard knight swords, with the True Knight Medal on their left chests and the Green Forest Medal on their right, all belonging to the Oasis Knights under the City Lord’s command.

"Split into two and take on that little girl! The rest come with me!"

The man who fell from the ceiling appeared to be the leader of this team of Oasis Knights; he exuded an aura far stronger than the others, likely a seasoned True Swordsman.

The seasoned True Swordsman gave his orders in a deep voice, and then took the lead, flashing in front of Reiger and slashing down at his shoulder.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

The three Oasis Knights who had entered through the window, the side, and the floor beneath followed the footsteps of the seasoned True Swordsman without hesitation, attacking Reiger. One swung their sword at his lower body, another aimed a cut at his back, and a third stabbed at Reiger’s abdomen, sealing off any escape and leaving no room to dodge.

As for the two Oasis Knights outside, by this time one had already risen from beside the wall, and the other had closed in again, both launching an attack at Liz.

"Master!"

Liz wanted to help Reiger but was intercepted by two Oasis Knights who rushed toward her.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

The next second, the sound of metal striking metal rang out as Liz fought against the two Oasis Knights. Moslo’s sword clashed with the knights’ standard swords, weaving a tapestry of flashing blades.

At the same time, Reiger also engaged with the Oasis Knights who had surrounded him.

"Ding!"

With a clear ring, Reiger first trapped the sword of an oncoming senior True Knight with his fingers, then kicked out, landing a heavy blow on the knight’s abdomen.

"Boom!"

The Qi Force exploded, and the senior True Knight was sent flying by Reiger’s powerful kick, crashing through tables, chairs, and decorative objects like vases, cabinets, and bookshelves, ending up buried beneath a pile of furniture debris.

Then, Reiger’s hands moved swiftly, beating the other three Oasis Knights to the punch and slapping their sword-wielding hands before their attacks could land on him, causing their strikes to veer off course.

"What?"

"Impossible!"

"Quick, fall back!"

The three Oasis Knights’ complexions changed dramatically, completely taken aback that their combined attack had been so easily thwarted by Reiger.

If they had paid close attention, they would’ve seen that Reiger had already activated "A Transparent World," his eyes shining with a transparent luster.

He had already seen through their attacks and, thanks to the outstanding reflex and attack speed granted by "Speed Strike," easily shattered their offense without them landing a single blow.

"I see, so this is the power of the Oasis Knights," Reiger commented with a smile to the shocked knights.

"Your abilities are quite impressive; no wonder the people of Xinely are both respectful and fearful of you."

As he spoke, the smile on Reiger’s face suddenly vanished.

"Unfortunately, you’ve chosen the wrong person to target," he added.

Finishing his words, Reiger pointed a finger at the three Oasis Knights.

"Buzz!"

With the humming in the air, a Red Wave appeared at Reiger’s fingertips and shot violently towards the three knights.

"Magic!"

"It’s magic!"

"He can use magic, too...!?"

The three Oasis Knights were startled and instinctively wanted to use their swords to block.

"Don’t block it!"

The Knight Captain, struggling to stand from the debris of furniture, saw this and his pupils contracted as he shouted out loud.

"...!"

The hearts of the three Oasis Knights were seized with shock, and their movements faltered.

It seemed they trusted their captain’s judgment, for without a word, one dropped to the ground while the other two lunged to either side, desperately evading the Red Wave.

"Boom!"

The Red Wave instantly hit the wall of the room, disintegrating it and causing one side of the room to disappear without a trace.

"Hiss..."

This spectacle had the three Oasis Knights who had narrowly escaped collectively drawing a cold breath.

If they had not chosen to dodge but had continued to block, would they have been the ones to vanish just now?

This thought gave the trio of Oasis Knights a chill down their spines.

"You bastard...!"

The Knight Captain’s expression was extremely ugly as he looked at Reiger with both shock and anger.

"Don’t look at me like that," Reiger said indifferently. "After all, it was you who came knocking on my door first."

The Red Wave reappeared on Reiger’s hand, which hadn’t been retracted, and it was even larger than before, instilling an almost instinctual fear in the hearts of the Oasis Knights.

"He cannot be confronted by force!"

Only the Knight Captain, staying calm, commanded decisively.

"Cast the net!"

At his command, the three Oasis Knights also quickly regained their composure and took out an item from their possession.

It appeared to be a magical artifact, somewhat like an hourglass or a balance scale.

Without hesitation, the three knights crushed the hourglass-like artifact, causing sand to scatter like dust, quickly filling the entire room.

"Eh?"

Reiger, who had been calm, voiced his surprise.

Because at that moment, he felt the Magic Power around him became chaotic, to the point that the Red Wave gathering at his fingertips destabilized and began to warp.

"A disruption-type magical artifact?"

Reiger, observing the room now shrouded in a dust-like fog, showed a curious expression on his face.

"Load the magic bullets!"

The Knight Captain ordered again, and several Oasis Knights took out another magical artifact.

It resembled marbles, looking like black pearls with a fluctuating Magic Power that gave off a burning sensation, making Reiger immediately realize what this so-called magical bullet was.

And at that moment, the Oasis Knights had already thrown the magic bullets.

"Boom!!!"

A massive explosion suddenly erupted in the inn’s room.
