Before the city guards could react from their stunned distraction, Xia Lan, who led the Templar squad to charge, drove straight into Cologne with a fierce momentum. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Hurried horses' hooves, flying smoke and dust, the sun poured through the thin clouds on the silver armor, reflecting a dazzling light, the streets in the early morning, the stranded people sat up in shock, vaguely, someone heard the shouts and declarations outside the city, and suddenly the long-lost impulse and excitement suddenly appeared in their hearts!

It turns out that the Templars have not forgotten them!

Le Ma stopped abruptly and looked around, Xia Lan's eyes saw the fleeing townspeople dragging their families everywhere along the streets, their embarrassed and tired faces were full of numbness, and the eyes of a few people even showed fear and anger. Ironically, who would have thought that they would one day swap roles with real refugees while enduring even more difficult circumstances.

"Templars! I am Grimm, the Ninth Brigade of the Templar Knights! ”

Facing the stares of the people, Xia Lan raised his long sword with an awe-inspiring expression, and his voice was calm and solemn.

He emphasized his name because he needed people to remember it.

"The revolt of the refugees has disrupted the century-old city of Cologne, and countless good people have suffered their doom, where are the town halls and noble armies you trust when you need protection the most? See! They were there to let the thugs run amok, burn and loot! There they seal the gates of the city and cut off any hope of your escape! Why are they not on the front line of suppressing the enemy? Why didn't they protect your lives and property? Why are they derelict in their duties and perfunctory? ”

A barrage of questions silenced the streets, and a look of confusion appeared on the numb faces of the people, when a man in the crowd shouted angrily, "And the templars? Where were you when we needed you most? ”

"We're here!"

Xia Lan, who was riding on a war horse, glanced at the corner of his eye, and condescendingly, he instantly saw the angry man who opened his mouth to question.

"Why are we so late? Why did we only come eleven? ”

Xia Lan didn't give the other party room to reply, but continued to speak loudly on her own.

"Because! The regime and church in Cologne have been infiltrated by a group of heretics! They secretly controlled the town hall and the army, blinded the church's request for rescue, and without the explicit official order of the bishop of the church, the Templar brigade stationed outside the city could not be dispatched at all, this time we came to Cologne in violation of the ban to obtain the bishop's order to send troops, completely quell the chaos in Cologne, and crush the hatch conspiracy! ”

"Now the gates are open! Those who wish to seek refuge in the search for escape should proceed to the Templar quarters outside the city, and this time, no one can stop you from dying for the right to live! ”

Xia Lan pulled the horse's head, and the long sword pointed at the city guards gathered in the direction of the city gate and shouted angrily.

"Those who dare to stop people from leaving! No mercy! ”

Xia Lan's last warning spread to the ears of everyone nearby, especially the soldiers who were blocking the direction of the city gate, and their faces changed drastically. They saw the power of the other party throwing a spear to smash the city gate just now, not to mention that he was accompanied by a powerful and well-equipped Templar team, and it would be tantamount to self-destruction to confront such a team head-on.

"Bold! Did you know that sealing the city gates was a joint decision between the town hall and the church? Don't listen to his slander and incitement full of evil words to confuse the public, and the Templar will definitely not let him go after the fact! ”

A man in the form of a commander stood up from among the city guards and shouted at the surrounding people.

"I only ask you one thing, let's, it's not that you don't let it!"

Xia Lan rode his war horse slowly to the front, he didn't want to talk to the other party too much, and his straightforward tone was mixed with a strong threat.

"Array! Defend the gates to the death! ”

When the commander heard this, he decisively retreated to the city guard in front of him and ordered.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Follow me to fight your way out! ”

It wasn't just the other party, Xia Lan was even more so, with his command, the members of the Templar squad who followed showed their long swords in unison, and then launched an unstoppable charge towards the city guards' position!

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! ”

Seeing this, the commander-in-chief, who was hiding in the rear, hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen on the city wall to shoot!

In an instant, feather arrows rained down on Xia Lan from the top of the city, but this attack did not hurt them at all, but some innocent people who were panicked and scattered were mistakenly missed. Without waiting for the second round of arrow rain to come, Xia Lan and the others had already killed in front of the formation with great momentum, facing the neat array of spears, the bright sword blade in Xia Lan's hand drew an arc-shaped sword qi, instantly sweeping the enemy in front of him, taking advantage of the other party's panic, with this breakthrough, everyone behind him immediately swarmed in, like a hungry wolf into a flock, killing the enemy in the blink of an eye.

It was a very unequal battle, and for the Templars, who were able to use even overkill, their enemies were never an army trained by mortals, but an evil heresy above mortals.

There were about two or three hundred soldiers gathered at the city gate, and due to the narrow terrain, they could not deploy a large-scale formation, and could only intercept Xia Lan and the others through a certain range. Although the concentration of numbers can effectively exert the hardness of the defense, once the enemy breaks through the lineup and the front line is defeated, it will inevitably seriously affect morale and cause a large number of casualties.

This city guard that resisted Xia Lan was not as elite and strong as an elite army, and it could be said that it was well-trained, otherwise the ordinary army would not even have the courage to confront them.

The blood stained the robe, and the murderous cold clothes were piercing.

The ruthless sword, the terrible scream, the panic like a contagious virus continues to spread, and countless soldiers who died tragically are declaring a cruel and bloodthirsty massacre with their lives, even if they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, they can't escape the fate of cutting their throats.

War is never merciful, and only death is the best destination for the enemy.

Although his enemies were compatriots who lived together on the same land.

After a few round-trips, the soldiers at the gate were already scattered, as soldiers, they were not afraid of war, but they were afraid of an enemy who would never be invincible, because it meant that no matter how much you struggled, you could not change the outcome of defeat and death.

People are afraid of death, and soldiers are no exception.

The commander in charge of commanding them in battle saw that the situation was wrong and immediately fled, and when Xia Lan was close, the other party had already disappeared.

The hearts of the people who witnessed this killing seemed to have been greatly shocked, and when Xia Lan returned victoriously, everyone dared not retreat in fear involuntarily, and their eyes did not dare to aim at this group of cold-blooded and murderous executioners.

"No one will stop your freedom anymore! No one can stop your hope of survival. ”

Xia Lan rode slowly from the middle of the street with a blank face, he knew that the people were afraid, afraid that he would become a member of the corpse at the city gate, he understood this mentality, but he did not deliberately appease it. In the future, they will witness even more tragic images than this, but I don't know how many of them will live safely until that day.

"Run! Flee before the heretic-controlled army arrives! ”

Leaving these words, Charan ignored the panicked people and galloped away in the direction of the church of Balia.

Vomit -

As the sound of horses' hooves faded away, the last wisps of smoke fell, and all the fleeing people who saw the tragic situation at the city gate vomited violently. The stinging blood completely stained the white stone pavement, and a corpse with fragments twisted and hideous faces, blurred flesh, colorful and dark internal organs, and viscous brains all constructed the prototype of the so-called hell on earth.

"Mom's ......"

Nina's little face was pale and she snuggled up to Joanna's side, her eyes filled with deep horror.

"Nina, don't be afraid, with her mother here, no one can hurt Nina!"

Joanna crouched down and comforted Nina with both hands in her arms.

"Mom...... That brother just ......," Nina said with a shaky slurred voice. "He's the ugly uncle I said last time!"

"Huh?" Joanna was stunned, and her mind quickly remembered the appearance of the young Templar not long ago, but unfortunately she couldn't make any connection with Xia Lan, and in the end, she could only take this as Nina's whisper. "Nina, you recognized the wrong person, he's not an ugly uncle."

"Ahem-" At this time, a muscular man beside Joanna coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Joanna, I also met that man just now, he is the young man I met with Nina in the restaurant last time, I didn't expect him to be a noble Templar." ”

"I see, no wonder Nina would recognize the wrong person." Joanna said suddenly.

"Nope! Nina definitely didn't recognize the wrong person! He's really an ugly uncle! Seeing that her mother didn't believe what she said, Nina was so anxious that her eyes were flooded.

"Good, good! Nina don't cry, let's do it, we'll go to the Templar quarters outside the city to seek refuge, and when that brother returns, we'll go to him to see if he's really ugly, okay?" Joanna easily soothed Nina's emotions, after all, she knew her daughter's personality too well.

"Good! I hope Uncle Ugly will come back and see us soon. In Nina's heart, she still stubbornly recognized Xia Lan, who had changed greatly after resurrecting the corpse, as her ugly uncle.

"Dane, I'm sorry for you along the way." Turning around, Joanna didn't forget to thank the man next to her.

"You are too polite, now everyone is sympathetic to each other, and it is appropriate to take care of each other and support each other." Dane touched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.

"Let's hurry up, the young knight just said that he should leave before the army in the city arrives, I'm afraid it's too late." Joanna said.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you all the way!" Dane patted his chest and said.

Packing their bags, the trio finally left Cologne with the fleeing people.

After experiencing the turmoil of exile again, Joanna couldn't help but sigh in her heart for the chaos of the world, thinking that she might be able to start a new peaceful life when she came to the town ruled by the Templar Revelation Mountain, far away from the war, but who would have thought that in less than a year, she would be reduced to the status of a fugitive.

Look back at Cologne.

That cold, blood-stained young knight, could you really be him? (To be continued.) )
