Prologue The beginning of the story

Next Chapter

At dusk, the sunset is like blood.

In the thick white smoke of gunpowder, tattered military flags flew stubbornly.

Gunfire and cannon rumble.

A group of Europa Imperial soldiers in red shirts and uniforms, under the command of the lieutenant, fired a volley at the rushing Assyrian legions on the opposite side.

On the high ground behind the flanks, twenty 12-pounder guns were firing gradually, and under the impetus of gunpowder, the 12-pounder solid bullets tore straight lines through the barbarian ranks, and fell to the ground and bounced again, smashing the Assyrian soldiers who stood in their way into meatloaf.

The Assyrians, who consisted mainly of barbarians, seemed undaunted, and they continued to advance under artillery fire, meeting the dense barbarian bullets.

This was the defensive position of the 17th Infantry Division under the sequence of the 21st Army Corps of the Europa Empire. The situation was not good, they had already learned that the entire northern group had collapsed and the 21st Infantry Division was alone.

Taking advantage of the favorable terrain and relatively ample supplies, they had held out here for a month, and the entire division had lost half of its strength. Thankfully, the place where they were stationed was not the focus of the barbarian legion's breakthrough.

Under normal circumstances, such a force would have collapsed a long time ago, but they had no choice, they did not even have the possibility of surrendering, and all kinds of terrible rumors made them prefer to die here.

Most of the barbarians were armed with huge shields, swords, and short spears, while a few were armed with rifled guns——, which was a shocking thing when the defending side was mainly armed with smoothbore guns.

These rifled gunners shot Europa soldiers, especially officers, with impunity at greater distances.

The bronze barrels were already hot, and one of them blew up, killing a squad of artillerymen on the spot. The artillery command had to temporarily stop the bombardment, and the Europa soldiers had to temporarily retreat, using the deep trenches that had been specially built to block the barbarian attack.

At this time, Sergeant Sean and his comrades will attack decisively, these hunters are a small number of Europa Imperial soldiers armed with rifled guns, and all of them have good marksmanship. When the barbarian soldiers managed to climb out of the trench and show their heads, it became Sean's best target.

Shooting ten or twelve, Sean didn't know and didn't care, he just wanted to load, aim, and shoot as fast as he could.

However, just when they thought that the barbarians would retreat like last time, a black torrent rushed from the opposite side.

"It's the Blood Samurai!" one of the officers yelled, "Artillery, artillery!"

The artillery sounded again, risking to explode, but the black torrent had already crossed the first trench, and with great care, it dodged the landing point of the solid shells and rushed towards the second trench.

These warriors, who were far more powerful than ordinary people, rushed as swift as horses and leaped like lions, easily crossing the second trench and killing the third trench defended by soldiers.

In the blood mist, two rows of soldiers have already raised their bayonets to meet them, and they want to use their flesh and blood to fight these super strong blood warriors.

At this time, the mortar cannon had also fired, and the sound of the cannon was deafening, pouring out its anger in the direction of the Blood Samurai, but this still could not stop the Blood Samurai's attack.

Heavily armoured, with only two bloodthirsty eyes, a shield in one hand and an iron spear or mace in the other, these Blood Samurai were the beginning of a nightmare when they came close......
