Chapter 152 Circles on the Ground
One can only imagine how sturdy the ground of this giant shield city must be.
However, this hard ground was easily cut into a circle.
Most importantly, after this circle was cut out, the knight's sword was still as good as new.
What an incredible thing this is!
While Loon was drawing circles, the knights outside the circles stopped fighting and followed behind Loon, watching him draw circles.
During this process, some people tried to emulate Lo'ang by drawing their swords and stabbing them into the ground—but very few actually managed to pierce through it.
After all, although knights do possess a certain degree of "extraordinary" power, their extraordinary abilities only mean they are stronger, more powerful, and more agile than ordinary people... Their power still follows the laws of physics.
They might be able to swing the branches, turning speed into power to break iron swords and pierce armor—but after breaking the iron swords and piercing the armor, the branches would inevitably break and shatter.
This will not change regardless of the knight's strength.
That is purely determined by the physical properties of matter itself.
Just as a knight might be able to cut through rocks with an iron sword, the iron sword he uses will inevitably be damaged.
This is why knights are always pursuing sharper and more durable weapons, stronger armor, and faster horses...
Therefore, among those knights who tried to pierce the ground with their longswords, most of their attempts ended in failure.
But in the end, there were still some people who, whether because they were stronger, had better weapons, or were just luckier... in short, they managed to stab their weapons into the ground.
Then, at this point, a new problem arose.
This ground is no ordinary thing.
Especially here, which is the location of the royal city, the ground was compacted again and again during its construction.
Therefore, the hardness and compactness of the ground far exceeded the knights' expectations.
Thus, after plunging their weapons into the ground, these knights who had plunged their weapons into the ground became distinct.
Some of the knights, when they tried to pull their weapons from the ground, were surprised to find that they could not pull them out.
The other group of knights noticed something was wrong as soon as they planted their weapons into the ground.
Even the sharpest weapons are still ordinary matter, things that need to follow the laws of physics—but what are the laws of physics?
The simplest examples are collisions and the interaction of forces.
When they use their weapons to harm other things, whatever those weapons come into contact with will naturally also harm their weapons.
The knights practiced the skill for this purpose—to kill their enemies from a more advantageous angle when facing them, making the enemy's counterattack weaker and reducing the damage to their own weapons.
In addition, after each battle, the knights had to use special methods and materials to maintain their weapons.
—For knights, their weapons are their second life, a companion more trustworthy than their wives.
But what have they done now?
They inexplicably, because of a sudden idea, used the most brutal means to damage their own weapon—yes, damage!
There is no doubt that this brutal method of directly stabbing the weapon into the ground causes immense damage to the weapon!
In fact, many knights noticed the "groaning" of their weapons the moment they pierced the ground.
……
Even after Loon effortlessly drew a circle on the ground, some people were still incredulous at the sight. Ignoring the damage their weapons had sustained in previous attempts, they thrust their weapons into the ground again, trying to leave a mark...
However, to 'slash' a mark on the ground with a burst of speed is something that a human can do.
You can first stab the weapon into the ground, where it will be bound, and then 'drag' it out in a trajectory.
That would be another kind of unpredictable difficulty.
None of the knights around could do such a thing.
Therefore, this one scene alone made everyone realize the difference in strength between them.
But when Loon drew his sword, the knights looked at the incredibly smooth sword tip and another thought arose in their minds.
Is it possible that the reason he was able to draw such a circle was not because of his great strength, but because the weapon in his hand was too sharp?
The reason for thinking this way is quite simple.
The knight's power is still within the limits of the laws of physics—even if this knight from the Lake Mountain family is incredibly strong and can stir up the hard ground like water, what about his weapon?
How could his weapon remain intact without leaving a trace after such "ravages"?
The only possibility is that it was a weapon so sharp it was unimaginable!
The friction from the ground was shattered by the weapon's sharpness before it could even cause any damage.
An incredibly sharp weapon—capable of easily slicing through the ground without leaving a single scratch—can also easily cut through an enemy's defenses.
So sharp.
Such material.
This also means that when using this weapon to attack the enemy, the greatest results can be achieved with the least amount of force and the fewest changes.
Such a weapon, if it fell into the hands of any knight, would be enough to increase that knight's strength by ten times or even dozens of times.
A mid-ranking knight wielding this weapon even dared to challenge the national knight.
If this sword were wielded by a knight of the nation, he could easily kill any other knight of the nation!
One can imagine how valuable such a weapon is.
At the same time, if the credit for that circle is attributed to the weapon, it means that the knight who drew that circle with the weapon was not as strong as people imagined.
Of course, those "national guardian" knights mixed in with the crowd had also come into contact with the mysteries of life force, and they could also sense the life field on Luo Ang's body... but naturally, they wouldn't talk about how strong Luo Ang was at this time...
As a result of greed and indulgence, everyone's gaze toward Luo Ang changed.
What began as shock and awe turned into unprecedented greed.
Luo Ang also clearly sensed the sweeping greed and the malice within it.
But he didn't care about it.
He simply stood before this 'boundary line' and spoke slowly.
"Anyone caught in the flames of war who enters this circle will perish!"
