Chapter 609 - 257: Soul Sand, Baron Knight Order Visit (6200)_2
Including Liu Muxue, everyone also heard the system prompt.
Through the discussions among the survivors over the past two days, everyone knew that these noble forces approaching brought nothing good.
If they weren’t looking for trouble, they were here to collect taxes.
Of course, there were one or two lucky ones who would catch the eye of these nobles and not only would they not be taxed, but they would also be offered a noble’s daughter’s hand in marriage.
But that was extremely rare, as rare as one in millions.
Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing with concern in her eyes.
Cao Xing patted her shoulder and said, “It’s fine, Muxue. Let’s go out and take a look.”
Liu Muxue tightened her grip on her weapon and shield and nodded solemnly.
He clicked ‘Agree.’
Meanwhile.
Outside the territory, a group of knights, riding tall horses and clad in war armor, approached Cao Xing’s land.
“Clop, clop, clop…”
The dense sound of hooves arose.
This knight order was large in number and exuded a strong aura.
Even the subjects who were working heard the sound of hooves.
And Cao Xing, accompanied by Assam, Renice, Andrew, and others, walked out of the territory.
Cao Xing eyed the squad of knights before him.
There were indeed many of them, over a hundred.
These knights wore uniform armor, had swords at their waists, and bore a wolf claw insignia on their chests.
This was Baron August’s trusted knight order.
Before the people even arrived, those knights spotted Cao Yi and Du An gathering resources.
A knight captain immediately shouted angrily, “You bunch of lowly serfs, why haven’t you stopped what you’re doing and come to greet us!”
Upon hearing this.
Cao Yi, Du An, and the others immediately changed their expressions, instinctively pausing their work.
But Cao Xing’s gaze was on the front of the knight order, on someone whose white armor made them stand out from the rest.
At this moment, the person removed the helmet, revealing dark brown hair.
A slight smile graced his lips, and there was a natural aura of authority about him.
Everyone in the territory stopped working, gazing at these knights and that young man.
At this moment, the knight beside him shouted angrily again.
“Who allowed you to look directly at the baron’s son!”
“Why aren’t you kneeling yet, you vile bunch!”
Hearing the words ‘baron’s son,’ everyone’s expression changed dramatically!
The Polar People, the commoners, and the Ascalon soldiers instinctively wanted to kneel down.
But Cao Xing’s voice rang out, “Don’t kneel.”
Hearing the voice, everyone halted their kneeling motion.
However, Cao Yi, Du An, and the rest couldn’t help but tremble.
They looked at Cao Xing with hesitation in their eyes.
Although they were always one hundred percent obedient to their lord’s orders.
But this was a real noble!
Respect for the nobility was engraved in their very bones.
The group of knights immediately shouted angrily, “How dare you! Why don’t you kneel when you see the baron’s son?”
Cao Xing said nothing, but cast a scrutinizing look over this group of knights.
He glanced at the information.

…
Cao Xing felt slightly reassured.
It was alright, just a group of third and fourth-tier knights.
The strongest were the two leaders who were fourth-tier bosses.
With his strength, he could easily take these guys down.
At this moment, the knight captain, seeing Cao Xing silent for a long time, drew his weapon and pointed it at Cao Xing, saying, “You man of uncertain origins, when I speak to you, do you not hear me?”
For these knights, otherworldly lords were a group of beings of uncertain origin.
And in their view, without noble status, they were merely commoners!
However, Assam, seeing him daring to speak to Cao Xing in such a way, directly drew his Broken Sword, “Do not disrespect our lord!”
The knight captain, seeing Assam’s action, immediately showed some confusion in his eyes.
“As a knight, do you dare raise a weapon against us, against the baron’s knight order?”
“Do you know what this means?”
“Are you trying to challenge the baron’s authority?”
But Assam firmly said, “No matter who it is, no one is allowed to disrespect the Lord!”
Hearing this, the knight captain looked at the young man.
He noticed that the young man had an amused smile at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he nodded.
The knight captain seemed to understand what he meant and immediately said, “Very well, you dare offend Baron August’s knight order!”
“Gentlemen, let us teach these rude fellows a lesson!”
Clang! Clang, clang!
The longswords were drawn, and the knights all unsheathed their weapons.
“Neigh!”
The warhorses charged, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and confrontational.
The terrifying aura emitted by over a hundred knights made Dazhuang and Cao Yi tremble in fear!
