Flames and smoke engulfed Blackson Castle.

Amid the shouts of slaughter, 6,000 Byzantine hoplites armed with sharp battle axes and sturdy shields swarmed through the gaps in the walls of Blackson Castle.

Compared with these well-armed and armed hoplites, the 'Nightblade Leopard' bandits were already inferior to their bosses, and the bandits had only experienced a rebellion, and their morale fell to the bottom, so under the onslaught of the hoplites, they were quickly defeated and did not organize any decent resistance.

This battle in Blackson Castle can't be called a battle at all, it's a purely one-sided massacre.

Screams, wails, curses, moans, and begs for mercy filled every corner of Blackson Castle.

At this moment, in a quiet and elegant courtyard in Blackson Castle, Ravnia was looking at the fire and the billowing smoke in the castle, looking at it at a loss.

She didn't know what was going on, but she could vaguely guess that it was the Byzantine army from outside the castle that had come to her rescue.

"What's going on?Stephanie told me this morning that she'd send me out of the castle as soon as she handed over the damn werewolf to me in the afternoon!Didn't she say that she had also greeted the Imperial army outside the castle?Why did the Imperial army attack the castle?" After the blank look on her face finally disappeared, Robonia became shocked and angry when she came to her senses.

She knew very well in her heart that as soon as the imperial army attacked like this, she suddenly put herself in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Who ordered the attack on these bandits? Isn't that intended to harm me, and when I get out, I'll make sure to get to the bottom of it!" said to Ravnia, gritting her teeth.

She knew that something was strange about today, and she also sensed that it was very likely that someone was trying to harm her.

Then, at the same time, Robnia was also mentally prepared for Stephanie to escort her to the front of the Imperial army.

However, to Robnia's surprise, after a long time, Stephanie had not sent anyone to escort her, as if she had forgotten her entirely.

Ravonia felt that she was getting more and more confused about this today.

Just when Ravonia was secretly surprised in her heart and looked down in contemplation, she didn't notice that danger was quietly coming!

There was a sudden and silent fluctuation in the air. This air fluctuation, since the appearance of the door of the small courtyard where Robnia was, has been slowly approaching Robonia with a clear goal.

If Robonia had looked up and noticed the unusual fluctuations in the air, she might have reacted immediately to the fact that it was a stealthy thief approaching her. And when this stealthy thief moved, the air fluctuations caused by it were so large that they could even be seen with the naked eye, indicating that this was just a very low-level thief. Robonia only needs to cover the entire courtyard with the simplest detection magic, and the thief will not be able to hide.

However, Robonia, who was bowing her head and pondering, was obviously careless, and she was unaware of it.

The stealthy thief cautiously circled behind Robonia and took shape, only to see the five fingers of his right hand clasped together in the shape of a knife, raised high.

The thief's raised knife slammed down, striking the artery on the right side of Robonia's neck. Robonia snorted and fainted to the ground.

When the thief saw that Lophnia had fainted, he immediately took out a rope and a sack that had been prepared from behind his back, tied Lophnia firmly with the rope, stuffed it into the sack, and then carried the sack on his shoulder, and ran away.

Shortly after the thieves robbed Robnia, Hughes arrived at the courtyard with Enteus and a dozen bandits.

When they searched the entire courtyard and found no trace of Ravnia, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

"No, Rovnia ran away!" exclaimed Enteus.

Hughes didn't speak, but there was a look of despair on his face.

At this time, a group of Byzantine hoplites who had entered Blackson Castle also arrived.

The two sides met, and a scuffle broke out in an instant.

Eventually, the gang of 'Nightblade Panthers', including Hughes and Enteus, collapsed in a pool of blood.

......

In the direction of the west gate of Blackson Castle, a roadway no more than six meters wide and no more than a hundred meters long, corpses covered almost the entire road.

A Byzantine hoplite roared and slashed his tomahawk at Ward's head.

Seeing this, Ward hurriedly raised the big axe in his hand and put it sideways on the door of his head, trying to use the handle of the axe to hold the falling tomahawk.

Although the two of them used the same axe weapons, the quality of the big axe in Ward's hand was obviously inferior to the military tomahawk of the hoplites, and it was actually cut off by the tomahawk at once.

The Tomahawk's fall continued unabated, threatening to split Ward's head in half.

At this moment, Ward was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, but the hoplite suddenly flew out sideways, and slammed into the wall of the alley three meters behind him, and with a 'click', all the bones under the heavy armor of the hoplite were shattered. After hearing the hoplite's scream, he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, not moving. Soaring Chinese

Ward, who was the rest of his life, felt a collapse and weakness all over his body, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground.

"What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and die?" Blade roared angrily when he saw him sitting on the ground in despair, after kicking the hoplites and saving Ward.

This roar immediately woke Ward from his distraction. He hurriedly got up from the ground and picked up the tomahawk that had been abandoned on the ground by the recently dead hoplite.

Looking at the dense corpses in the alleyway, Ward only felt his scalp tingle. Most of these corpses belonged to the 'Nightblade Panther' bandits, while the other half belonged to the elite Imperial hoplites.

Ward involuntarily glanced at the blade beside him.

It was the first time he had seen such a savage and bloody killing!

At that time, after the Byzantine army began to attack Blackson Castle, Blade carried Stephanie and Ward on his back and followed a group of bandits in the direction of the castle's west gate. However, when passing through one of the lanes leading to the west gate of the castle, the Imperial hoplites appeared here.

Blade's heart sank sharply, knowing that the west gate of Blackson Castle had fallen into the hands of the Byzantine Empire. It seems that it is impossible to rush out of the West Gate without a hard fight.

The Byzantine hoplites blocking this alley were only fifty or sixty people, while the 'Nightblade Leopard' bandits retreated here numbered hundreds. Seeing that they had the advantage in numbers, the bandits immediately charged the hoplites in the alley.

The battle was short and intense.

Five minutes later, the bandits, of more than a hundred men, had been wiped out, while the hoplites had lost less than ten.

Blade and Ward frowned slightly after witnessing this at the entrance of the alleyway, and Ward's legs and stomach trembled uncontrollably.

A hoplite spotted the blade and Ward at the mouth of the laneway, only to hear him roar, pick up the battle axe in his hand, and use the martial art 'charge', and the whole person rushed towards the blade as if he were sliding on the ice.

The hoplite saw that the blade was carrying an unconscious woman on his back, and apparently thought that he was a burden and easier to deal with.

The sharp blade snorted coldly, and the cyan fighting aura on his body flashed instantly, and he stepped back with his right foot suddenly, and also used a move to 'charge' towards the hoplites.

The sword flashed, and the two staggered by.

The head of the hoplite flew high into the air, and the hot blood splattered high. However, the headless body, which had no head, only collapsed after rushing out of a distance of four or five meters.

The blade stood in the alleyway, holding Stephanie tightly behind him with one hand, and 'purgatory' with the other, while his movements remained in the posture of swinging the knife.

When the rest of the hoplites in the alley saw this, they were immediately shocked and angry, and they all rushed forward with a roar.

With a low roar, the blade took a step forward, and swung 'Purgatory' in his hand at one of the hoplites who rushed to the front.

When the hoplite saw the long knife coming, he immediately raised his shield to block, and just as he was about to use the shield to block the knife and swing the axe to counterattack, a scene that made him extremely frightened happened.

The long knife slashed at the shield made entirely of stainless steel, as if it had been cut on a rotten piece of wood that had rotted for many years, easily splitting the shield in half, and then going down with the trend. The sharp blade slashed diagonally from the hoplite's left shoulder blade to the base of the right thigh, splitting the hoplite's company and armor diagonally into two.

The hoplite had his eyes wide open in fear before he lost his last consciousness, and he looked at the left half of his body, which had been separated from his body.

The blade then flicked its wrist, and more than a dozen substantial-like sword qi shot out, crisscrossing and scraping over the several hoplites who pounced on them. The hoplites were shaken all over, and their footsteps stopped suddenly, and then they heard several sounds of 'puff puff', but seeing the flesh and blood flying and the organs rushing, the bodies of the hoplites were split into more than a dozen pieces in an instant.

The screams echoed in the alleyway for a long time.

With a sharp blade in hand, he pushed forward with an unstoppable momentum, and the hoplites who stood in front of him fell one by one on his path.

There was a bloody storm in the roadway.

The blade fully showed the most savage and murderous side of the orcs, and the hoplites could not resist it, so they had to retreat one after another, and the clever point saw that the situation was not good, and quickly pulled out, and changed the target to Ward, who was still standing at the mouth of the lane.

And so, the opening scene happened.

Ward had barely gasped for breath when he saw the blade slash at the remaining hoplites. He gritted his teeth, swung his battle axe, and slew it behind the blade.

Blade and Ward continued to push forward at a rapid pace.

Finally, after a bloody battle, Blade and Ward wiped out all the hoplites in the tunnels.

However, just when there was no one in the alleyway to block the road, there was another sonorous footstep outside the alleyway.

"Oh no! there's another one, let's go!" Blade snorted, lifting Stephanie up on his back, and then hurried out of the alleyway with Ward.
