Chapter 2: A slap in the face

"Two and a half kilometres long? This canyon is comparable to the one in that theme park in terms of length."

After seeing the exit of the canyon, Xiao Yu took a short break and turned his head to look at the mileage on the electronic sports watch at his wrist.

After loosening the shoulder straps of his backpack, Xiao Yu took a dozen steps quickly before his entire body was exposed outside the canyon for the first time.

Immediately, Xiao Yu some hairy, can't believe looking at the wilderness in front of them, that is like a big point of ants in general in front of their own eyes running to and fro small people.

After gazing again and again, convinced that these are small people moving rather than insects, Xiao Yu lowered his head and noticed that there was actually a group of small people under his feet that had gathered underneath him.

Based on visual inspection, Xiao Yu estimated that most of these little people would not be more than two centimetres, smaller than the toy soldier models he played with as a child.

That is to say, himself and the opposite side of those small people have a hundred times the gap, his own height of one metre eight in their view is one hundred and eighty metres high horror giant, right.

Xiao Yu noticed the commotion of the small people under his feet, and also vaguely heard their shouts of unknown significance.

Xiao Yu was not really disturbed by this, he just leaned down, wanting to try to see what the little people looked like, curious if there was any difference between them and himself outside of their body shape.

The absolute advantage in body shape and the sense of security that his equipment brought to Xiao Yu made him less worried about what would happen to him by these mole-like villains.

Xiao Yu, however, did not know that his stooping down in the face of Anrik, the King of Steel Capital, had actually inspired those Anrik followers to cheer at once.

In order to appease the army, Anrik had once informed his followers of the secret royal news by adding a little more flavour to it.

Xiao Yu's appearance had already hinted at the credibility of the royal secret, and this stooping down was even more in line with the content of the oath mentioned by Anrik!

Thus, while the main Lord Anrik was still in a daze, his followers couldn't help but cry bitterly and screamed that Xiao Yu was the son of God and had come to fulfil his oath to help the King of the Steel Capital to restore his kingdom.

There were followers who were not afraid of death, but even fell down in front of Xiao Yu's eyes and kowtowed continuously.

"This is the rhythm of kowtowing at the drop of a hat!"

"Are you afraid to beg for forgiveness? Or do you take me as a god?" Xiao Yu felt amused watching the villain's behaviour and could not help but ponder.

At this time, those pursuers were in deep trepidation, neither up nor running.

"Fake! It must be an illusion! How could there be such a tall giant in this world!"

The knight leading the chase came back to his senses from the initial shock, and thinking of the great achievement slipping away from his eyes, and of Archduke Yannan's punishment for the losers, he couldn't help but shout out loud:

"If the Kingdom of Steel Capital really has this kind of AoA, it can still be forced by my Lord to this level!"

"Everyone, don't be afraid! This must be some sort of illusion!"

The knight looked around at his men who were still afraid, and wanted to shoot his horse to charge forward, but he didn't want his horse to be unable to lift its hooves to move forward due to fear as well.

"Hateful!" The knight cursed and simply dismounted and ran towards the terrifyingly shaped giant alone.

He was a knight under Archduke Yannan's command, how could he be deterred by the enemy before he could fight?

The knight ran with all his might, and a faint white flame of light even emerged from his armour.

Looking at the knight who ran with all his might and was even faster than a warhorse galloping, the bow cavalry captain's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

"That's a fighting aura light flame that only a knight level powerhouse has! By the way, this image ... is that Knight Master Soma who is guarding the north! He is one of the ten strongest knights under Grand Duke Yanan! A true knight level powerhouse!"

The bow cavalry captain couldn't help but lament, "The kingdom's millions of people only have 30,000 armour-clad war soldiers!"

"But how many knights have been selected amongst the 30,000 soldiers? Just seventy-five! Each knight has the kingdom's best equipment, the best supplies, and the most suitable martial arts, and their physical bodies have already surpassed the limits of mortals, with the strength to easily fight one against a hundred against terrifying magical creatures!"

"This is a true killing machine that only truly great powers are equipped with and can afford to raise!"

"Hiss ..." A few people around the captain of the bow cavalry stared wide-eyed at the strong figure mentioned in the legend with envy: "Is this the Lord Knight that the old people have been talking about? He's really fast!"

"But, my lord, can he fight against that giant?" A bow rider fearfully meowed at Xiao Yu the giant that blocked the sunlight and timidly asked.

"This ... probably can it ..." The captain of the bow cavalry is also somewhat less confident, even if years of education are informing him that the knight adults are the strongest force in the kingdom!

But ... God, this giant monster in front of me is also too huge!

Perhaps ... this giant is really just an illusion, as the Knight Lords said?

Thinking of this, the bow cavalry captain looked at the knight-sama who was getting closer and closer to the giant, and quietly gripped his hand at the hilt of his sword.

He planned to wait for the Lord Knight to break through the illusion, he would hurry to follow him over and redeem his honour!

The knight came to the bottom of Xiao Yu's feet and he had to stop, gritting his teeth and raising his head to look at Xiao Yu.

He sadly realised that even though he was that close, he was still unable to find a break in this giant, as if it was a real giant!

At the same time, the knight also finally heard the contents of those stragglers' as if they were ghost horns.

"Pledge? Son of God?"

"Ridiculous!" The knight angrily drew his sword and leapt to his feet, his body's light flame then grew brighter and brighter!

"This kind of light! This knight chasing me is at least the peak of the first rank, right, and is also a top expert in the Steel Capital ...." Anrik was stabbed in the eyes by the light flames, and when he came back to his senses from his daze, he saw the figure of that knight leaping high into the air, and he couldn't help but say with a complicated expression:

"It's a pity that such a warrior is willing to be used by that rebel ..."

"What the hell!"

Xiao Yu was curiously observing the little people when he suddenly realised that there seemed to be a little bug leaping up to jump onto himself.

Thus, Xiao Yu instinctively waved his hand.

In an instant, the knight who leapt up high in the air found a black leather object bigger than his lord's training ground slapping at him in mid-air!

It was too late to react! Just the wind pressure between the swing of that object had caused the knight's figure to stop swaying in mid-air!

And then, as the knight watched with a struggling expression frozen on his face from the chill of despair ...

Snap!

There was a crunching sound!

Xiao Yu as if he was swatting a fly sent this Lord Knight flying, and this Knight instantly fell to the ground after drawing a beautiful arc like a shooting star.

Boom!

The bow cavalry captain felt the earth roar sadly and hurriedly turned around, looking back to where the knight lord had landed.

"Soma ... Knight Lord ah!" The bow cavalry captain couldn't help but tremble out.

Because he saw that the Kingdom Killing Machine that he had just envied, that Knight Lord had already turned into an unnamable pile of steel and a collection of crushed flesh in the approximately half-metre deep pit that had been smashed out.

"Team, captain is this the Knight Lord?" The bow rider captain's men looked at the pile of rotten meat and only felt a chill rise in their hearts.

And on the side of the stragglers, amidst the loud cheers, the King of the Steel Capital, Anrik, couldn't help but open his mouth wide and half-heartedly spit out his breath.

"The first order knights ... kingdom was not more than a hundred when it was strongest, how could it be like this, just like this ... dead?"

"Ancestor ah! Such a horrible existence, how did you snub it in the first place?"
