In the dark red firelight, Guhuas swung his giant ax and swept across with all his strength, splitting apart the charging cavalry, both men and horses.
But it was just the two people in front.
The following cavalrymen swung their swords one after another, and the enchanted extraordinary weapons connected together in the firelight. As the cavalrymen galloped past, they picked up pieces of flesh and blood on Gu Huas' body.
The originally invulnerable bronze skin could now be seen with white bones, and the attacks still did not stop.
After continuous resistance and impact, the giant ax swung again, sweeping slowly, but due to the loss of flesh and blood in the arm, it was no longer possible to lift the heavy giant axe.
Suddenly, the ax fell, Guhuas was also knocked away by the attacking cavalry, and fell heavily to the ground.
In the midst of blood and ruins, the strong man seemed to have no breath.
Seeing this, the officer was still worried and asked his men to attack again. The galloping horse's hooves were raised high and stepped towards the body on the ground.
Just as the horse's hooves that were strong enough to trample bones were about to fall, a whooshing sound shot down across the night sky and stuck directly in front of the military horse, causing it to jump away in fright.
When these people took a closer look, they discovered that they were long steel swords.
As if they were brand new, these long swords flew down in the air and penetrated the ground one after another, turning the originally loose ruins of the streets into a forest made of steel.
In the shadows of the street, an unknown armored knight slowly walked out.
The armor made a slight friction sound, and he stepped on the fine iron pieces and debris on the ground. Every step he took with his steady steps left clear footprints on the ground.
Looking at the unknown knight in front of him whose armor was illuminated by the firelight, the captain of the cavalry frowned. He noticed the powerful extraordinary magic power, which was the flow of magic power that only high-level extraordinary people could have.
"Who are you?" Facing this mysterious person who suddenly intervened, the cavalry captain asked in a low voice.
But the other party didn't seem to want to answer. 'He' walked up to Guhuas' side, poured a tube of medicine into the other party's mouth, then picked up the sword again and pointed it at the cavalry.
"Are you an accomplice of the rebels? I can't keep you here, enter!" Then there was a sharp shout, and these cavalrymen in full gear attacked again.
The matte black sword blade was raised diagonally, and it was swung quickly and unpretentiously, so that no trace of magic flow could be seen.
But what is surprising is that this unknown knight caught every incoming blade, broke the opponent's blade, and shattered the armor.
The cutting edge of the sword was decisive and swift. There was no sign of any superb skills, it was just crushing with speed and power.
One by one, the cavalrymen were thrown off by the blade of their swords and rolled to the ground. Their sabers also broke into pieces, rolling down and sliding to one side along with their horses.
Facing these charging cavalry, the nameless knight advanced step by step, moving forward against the current. The continuous blades of the sword separated in front of him like a tide, turning into shapeless waves and falling on both sides.
"Damn it!" Gritting his teeth, the cavalry captain became anxious when he saw that everyone was outnumbered.
This was the first time he had seen such a difficult person during a mission, so much so that he couldn't see the other person's depth at all.
Sequence 7? Or Sequence 8? Which side is he from? If he is a rebel, why should he be merciful and not kill his own cavalry directly? If he is a knight of noble origin, why should he help these people who started the rebellion at this moment?
Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer to him, and there were fewer and fewer cavalry beside him, the captain almost shouted an order to retreat, but as if the opponent knew what was on his mind, he suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward.
At this point, the cavalry captain also recalled his men and looked at the other party quietly, wondering what the other party's plan was.
But what is unexpected is that this unknown knight chopped down the houses on the street with one sword and disappeared among the collapsed ruins.
"Chase, go and take a look ahead." In response, the cavalry captain looked at the ruins gloomily and ordered.
Then the cavalrymen crossed the obstacle and came to the rear again. The figure of the unknown knight was gone, and Gu Huas, who was originally lying in the corner, also disappeared.
"Did you let them escape?" Seeing this scene, the officer could only accept the reality.
"Continue to search the whole city!"
"Sir, what about the previous order?" the adjutant beside him asked. He wanted to know whether to continue the previous killing order.
After a moment of silence, the captain replied in a low voice.
"Focus on search."
"Yes, sir." The others also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. They had a vague feeling that if they killed like before, the powerful unknown knight would appear again.
In the night, these cavalrymen once again searched the whole city with torches, but this time the action was far worse than the last time. Rather than looking for people, they were more like allowing the residents to escape, even if they saw the people appearing in front of them.
Adult men would just pretend to chase and drive them away, and then give up after running for a while.
Anyway, the order from above was that there should be no living adult men in the city. As for those who escaped into the mountains and outside, they couldn't care about them. How could they have so much time to hunt them down one by one? This was not what elite legions like them should do.
The shouts in the city gradually stopped, and the fire that was originally burning also became quieter. When daybreak, only a lonely ruin with green smoke was left.
"The search is over, sir."
In the center of the square, these cavalrymen gathered together again and reported one by one.
"How's it going?"
"The unknown knight who escaped was not found, and the other rebels have also been 'cleaned up'."
"Is this so?" There was no joy on the cavalry captain's face, only calmness, as if he had been mentally prepared.
"In addition, we also discovered the daughter of the deceased Viscount Wenlani."
"Viscount Wenlani's daughter?" I can't think of this character in my mind. Isn't that Viscount a lecherous playboy? He actually has a daughter?
"Bring her here."
"yes."
After saying that, two dismounted cavalrymen brought a noble girl wearing a crow-blue dress. She had long black hair and a well-developed figure. She looked like a rare beauty.
"Oh, it seems that Viscount Wenlani's bloodline is not bad, or maybe this is their family's consistent style, haha."
Looking at this noble girl with better appearance, the cavalry captain felt hesitant and wanted to take it for himself.
If it were in the past, he would naturally not dare to offend a viscount's daughter, but now, with smoke and smoke everywhere in the south, the situation is chaotic, and no one will pay attention to this matter.
As for the people around you, it's easy to keep silent. You just need to bring them along. I don't think these guys will refuse this beautiful piece of meat that comes to their mouths.
Thinking like this, the cavalryman's mouth cracked into a smile again. This operation was not in vain.
However, a harsh shout like a drake broke the cavalry captain's illusions.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, for finding our eldest lady." A man dressed as a housekeeper strode over from the side of the street, waving the handkerchief in his hand as he walked.
His cheeks covered with white powder and his pretentious movements all showed his identity. As he appeared, a few of Atomic Lord's men who had escaped also gathered around him.
Now that the Viscount is dead, they have no backbone, but these people do not dare to flee to the mountains like the rebels. They can only hide in the corner and wait for news. Now they have discovered the same kind.
"Who are you?" The cavalry captain frowned deeply as he looked at this intrusive butler, wondering why his men didn't kill these moths at night.
In the eyes of the new army, these old-fashioned aristocrats are just like the blood-sucking bugs attached to the thighs of the empire. They are not good things.
"Sir, I am the butler of Viscount Wenlani. Look, this is my identity certificate." He took out the crumpled appointment letter from the lining of his clothes, which was stamped with the seal of Viscount Wenlani and also
Written with signature.
[....I hereby entrust Mr. Bulworth to be my steward.
——Kurd Kite Winrani]
You don't need to read the large amount of nonsense in front of it carefully, but the following line clearly states your identity. After finishing speaking, the butler took out the badge from his collar, quickly pinned it on himself, and shouted hello.
"Sir, thank you for leading the troops to save the Wenlani family. I think the eldest lady will never forget this kind of kindness in her life." He said loudly and flatteringly, attracting the Atomic Lord's men who were hiding in the street.
Seeing that the fighting was gradually stopping, these people also came out in twos and threes.
Looking at these "mixed soldiers" uniformly dressed in smocks and armors, the cavalry captain felt a little disgusted and loudly stopped the steward.
"Shut up, you noisy guy."
"Yes, yes, sir, I will shut up right now." As he said this, the butler quickly came to the side of the noble girl and stood behind, as if he was her guardian.
Facing all this, the noble girl lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was waiting for arrangements.
"Humph." Looking at the scene in front of him, the cavalry captain who originally planned to kidnap this noble girl couldn't help but give up the idea.
It's a good thing that few people know about this kind of thing. With such a big fanfare now, it's hard for him to come out in the open, so he still has some scruples.
"Now that the rebellion has been suppressed, we need to repair for another day. During this period, we will have to worry about the housekeeper."
He glanced at the butler. Although his meaning was vague, the other party understood it perfectly.
"I understand that the Wenlani family will definitely take good care of all the officers." These people probably want gold coins and treasures, but spending money to eliminate disasters. Anyway, the master is gone and the eldest lady can be manipulated. It's not all my fault.
Forget it, hee hee.
The butler agreed wholeheartedly, then turned around and kicked the iron knights.
"Quickly, arrange a place to stay and prepare food for all the officers."
"In addition, you, you, and the rest of you are coming with me." He named a few knights and guards with whom he was familiar.
With these people, the housekeeper dived into the ruins of the castle. There should be a lot of good things hidden in there. Those barbaric guys must not know where the master has put the things, haha.
In the early morning, everything in the city became busy again. A bit of green smoke rose, some guards began to drag corpses and clean up the ruins, and the cavalry who were rushing towards them also dismounted and began to rest.
On a distant hillside outside the city, a knight covered in armor stood quietly, watching everything that happened in the distance.
After a while, a weak and rough voice sounded from behind.
"Is it you who saved me?" Even though this barbarian almost died at night, his words had a rough taste, which made it difficult for people to feel comfortable.
