Late at night, under the dark clouds, the earth was completely shrouded in darkness, like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open, about to devour all life that dared to provoke.
On the road overgrown with grass, a group of armored cavalry gathered into a torrent and charged forward.
Each of these knights is wearing cold metallic armor. The visor on the helmet is pulled down, leaving only a pair of rock-like cold eyes exposed. The connection between the helmet and the armor is covered with a layer of iron ring mail.
He protected his neck, wore gloves made of wire and hemp rope on his hands, and wore metal combat boots on his feet. Almost every part of his body was covered in metal.
More than a hundred people were marching, but apart from the sound of horse hooves, no other sound could be heard. This silent calm revealed a cold murderous intent.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, three huge shadows suddenly jumped out from the grass on the right, and a disgusting smell blew along the cold wind.
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time as the wolf beast pounced, three crossbow arrows were shot out. Two of them hit the center of the eyebrows, and the silver-laced arrows shot into the head. Immediately, two wolf beasts died on the spot with a whimper, but the last one was wiped.
Flying over the head of the wolf beast, the wolf beast that escaped the disaster roared fiercely and pounced on the nearest knight.
Uh-huh...
The silver sword was unsheathed and drew a graceful arc in the weak moonlight, passing over the wolf's neck. When the ferocious wolf's head flew up, the blood from the severed neck sprayed more than one meter high.
"Paul, it's time to practice your archery skills." The knight who drew the sword put the long sword back into the scabbard and said coldly under the iron mask, without turning his head for a second glance from the beginning to the end.
The knight who missed the crossbow immediately lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, Lord Legion Commander."
These knights are the Holy Light Legion trained by Qin Changfeng.
In addition to the armor that covers the whole body, each person is equipped with a cross sword, a crossbow, a dagger, and a row of throwing knives. It can be said that they are armed to the teeth.
It can be said that every set of equipment is made of silver coins. If Qin Changfeng hadn't led people to hunt down several Death Walker teams and stripped off their equipment for Thomas to recast to solve the material problem, even if the four major
I'm afraid even if the lord's property is emptied, it won't be enough.
Whether it is armor, weapons, horses, or even the shirts and underwear worn by vampire warriors, they are all strategic materials needed by the Legion of Light.
Of course, although the corpses were disposed of thoroughly, the abnormal disappearance of the Death Walker team also attracted the attention of the Vampire Castle, and many people were sent out to investigate at night. However, they always targeted the wolf beasts and never thought about it.
It would be humans doing all this, so nothing would be achieved.
In addition, Thomas, who was upgraded through the Casting Mastery Scroll, also played a vital role in it. With enough people helping him, he could cast equipment as fast as seven or eight blacksmiths by himself.
The current Holy Light Legion has a total of ninety-eight people. Seven of them died while hunting the Death Walker team and the wolf beast. This was because Qin Changfeng personally led the team, otherwise the number of casualties would have been three to five times.
More than anything.
Whether it was good luck or bad luck, during more than half a year of secret hunting, Qin Changfeng never met Victor's daughter Sonia, that elite vampire warrior who was obsessed with running and fighting in the dark.
Legion commander Michael is the boy who once doubted Qin Changfeng. Perhaps because of the hardships he has endured, although he is only eighteen years old, he is mature, steady, brave and courageous, and his loyalty to Qin Changfeng has reached the level of
95%, tied with Thomas.
And even in terms of combat prowess, he is undoubtedly the number one in the entire legion. Even Qin Changfeng can't compare to him in close combat skills. He is also one of the few people who has practiced the indestructible power of the Vajra to the third level.
Here Qin Changfeng has to admire that his talent is really amazing, but their indestructible magic power cannot activate skills, but... the Buddhist internal power unexpectedly has a powerful killing bonus against dark creatures, regardless of whether it is attached to it.
With long swords, crossbows, arrows and flying knives, once they hit a werewolf or vampire, the effect would be like boiling oil poured into ice and snow, greatly reducing the recovery speed of these dark creatures' wounds.
Running in the dark night, whether they encountered wolves or vampires along the way, they were all quickly killed.
In this world that has been shrouded in darkness for hundreds of years, humans have begun to fight back and roar!
Iron hooves were flying, and the soldiers' armor was cold. Among all the people, only Qin Changfeng was holding the scepter and still wearing the pontiff's robe instead of the armor.
He and Thomas rode horses side by side at the front, Thomas was the leader, and Qin Changfeng was observing the nearby situation through his pet demon.
If only as a scout, the Demon God is undoubtedly very good. His rapid speed, powerful tracking and smelling abilities, and telepathy with Qin Changfeng all make him play a decisive role in this attack.
effect.
From Thomas's description of the death of the previous pope, it can be inferred that the Crohn family probably betrayed them to vampires during the pope's lobbying, and then used the power of vampires to kill all the top leaders of the Holy See, and finally occupied
The fortress of the Holy See.
It can be seen that compared to lords like Jonnar who want to resist, the Crohn family is undoubtedly the most loyal lackeys of vampires.
Therefore, this attack must not be leaked in advance, so that Crohn Castle can receive vampire reinforcements, at least not before they capture the castle. Otherwise, if dozens of them are to capture a castle, the casualties will be unacceptably high.
The night was dark, and a few hours later, it started to drizzle.
The raindrops hit the armor and made a dripping sound, and then gathered into water and flowed along the gaps in the armor's joints, soaking the lining inside bit by bit, and then the wetness stuck to the skin, which was not only uncomfortable.
, and will also greatly test the knight's endurance.
But from beginning to end, no one spoke alone, and no one shouted tired. They all seemed to be carved from stone, without consciousness or emotion.
I don't know how much time passed, and Qin Changfeng didn't remember how many miles he ran. Finally, in front of the people, when the sky was darkest, Thomas reined in the reins and stopped.
"Are we here?" Qin Changfeng asked calmly. This test was not worth mentioning to him.
Thomas nodded on the horse, then pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said: "The castle is hidden on the top of the mountain. The terrain is very dangerous, with cliffs on three sides. The Crohn family must have sent people to the only side facing the passage.
I'm guarding it, but I know a secret passage that can directly enter the castle. Crohn probably never imagined that the castle he worked so hard to capture would become his cemetery!"
Qin Changfeng could hear the unforgettable hatred for the Crohn family in his voice. Apparently, the death of the previous pope had always made him brood.
"Guardian, I guarantee that the blasphemers who betrayed the Holy Light will receive due punishment!" Qin Changfeng comforted Thomas, then turned to Michael and asked: "My legion commander, vampires cannot be dispatched during the day.
, do you think it’s better for us to attack now, or wait until the sun rises?”
Michael said in a hoarse voice: "This is not a vampire's castle, so we don't need to wait."
There is endless confidence in this calm voice!
"Then I'll leave this battle to you. I won't take action except when necessary."
"Michael will live up to your instructions!"
After the Master of the Legion saluted His Holiness the Pope with impeccable movements, he turned around and shouted to his knight: "Mia, take ten people to take care of the horses, and the rest of the people will follow me on foot up the mountain!"
There was no reply because everyone had already started taking action.
…………
Half an hour later, when Qin Changfeng followed the knights up the mountain carefully and pulled away a lot of bushes and vines, he finally saw a castle on the top of the mountain behind the woods.
This is a castle made entirely of stone. The huge shadow of the castle stands high in the night. It is indeed a cliff on three sides, and the front is also firmly blocked by a wall more than ten meters high. Even if a wolf wants to rush up to such a castle,
The city wall is not a simple thing either.
No wonder the Crohn family is attracted to this castle. It is indeed a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
However, there are always invisible weaknesses in a strong fortress. The secret passage through which Thomas escaped from the castle has now become a shortcut for them to invade the castle.
Qin Changfeng did not follow Michael and the others into the secret passage, but waited at the edge of the woods.
If a small castle with only human handles cannot be captured in a sneak attack... Qin Changfeng would really have to consider giving up on this group of losers and find another way out.
Fortunately, these warriors who grew up in a cruel environment did not let him down.
Only a dozen minutes later, a fire suddenly burst into flames in the dark castle. When the wind blew it, the flames immediately shot up into the sky, and screams and wails suddenly filled the night sky.
In less than a minute, chaos broke out on the city wall in front. Knights could be vaguely seen rushing up the city wall. Under the wave of their long swords, there were almost no enemies. Under the light of the torch, only the cold metal was reflected.
luster.
"The door is opened, Your Majesty the Pope, let's go in." The blond Elizabeth said softly. She was the only one not wearing a helmet. This is a privilege given to her by Qin Changfeng. In fact, as a woman, she really practices
Without the internal strength of King Kong's indestructibility, she failed to become a powerful warrior in the Holy Light Legion as her father Jonna expected. Later, she stayed with Qin Changfeng and acted as an attendant.
Role.
"Cron, when you stepped on the blood and corpse of the Holy See and walked into this castle, did you ever think that you would also use the blood and corpse to atone for your sins tonight?"
When Qin Changfeng walked into the gate of the city wall, he heard Thomas's voice roaring like a night owl in the night sky.
