"Chapter Forty-Nine: Capture the Flag"
Man is indeed the king of beasts, his cruelty is greater than all animals, we live by the death of other creatures, we are all graves, I swore at a very young age that I would never eat meat again, and one day people will consider killing as murder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The predicament of the Doge's Guard Bai Feng was anxious in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do, judging from the current situation, none of the other armies in Rome City had the strength to save the Doge's Guard, who let them surprise the core of the enemy army from the very beginning.
Witnessing the death of the elite division he had formed on the battlefield was one of the most painful things for a military commander; Bai Feng didn't know if he was a military commander or not, but he deeply felt the pain in his heart.
Especially this governor's guard is still commanded by his most trusted general, Antio, from the Roman world to this world, how many times Antio has rushed to kill the enemy army without hesitation, how many times he has been seriously injured but has not hesitated, Bai Feng is in pain when he thinks about it.
Perhaps Antio has never had the genius of Carabes, nor the bravery of Spartacus, nor the strategizing of Luquis, but he has always been one of Bai Feng's two favorite generals, Antio and Licinius, the two great generals of the Augustan Empire.
Could it be that Antio, one of the two great generals of the Augustan Empire in the past, really wanted to die in this small eastern region? Thinking of this, Bai Feng subconsciously clenched his hands, and in the next second, Bai Feng resolutely took out the Starfall Divine Bow behind him with his backhand.
After aiming the first Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow at the enemy soldiers besieging Antio in one go, Bai Feng did not hesitate to shoot this Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow, and then Bai Feng drew out the second Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow and aimed at the enemy soldiers on Antio's left.
Antio, who was still fighting to the death, his head had already become a little confused from excessive blood loss, and even he no longer looked back to see how many soldiers were left behind him, his only goal was to move forward, move forward, and be sure to kill the enemy general!
Suddenly, Antio seemed to see a silver light flashing in front of his eyes, and Antio, who was trying to see this silver light, shook his head fiercely, and when he opened his eyes again, two more silver lights flew out.
How could Antio, who was Bai Feng's favorite general, not be familiar with this silver light? Turning around with difficulty, Antio really saw the silver figure shooting a bow and arrows in the distance;
"Brothers, I can't say anything else, I just want to tell you one last thing: even if we all die in battle, the city of Rome will still exist!
"Even if we all die, the city of Rome will still exist! Kill!" the two hundred or so soldiers of the Doge's Guard, led by Antio, burst out with their last roar, and when they had finished shouting the final 'Kill', they once again rushed forward desperately.
Perhaps the potential of human beings can always allow human beings to burst into unimaginable strength in desperate situations, and the Governor's Guard, which had almost run out of oil, actually shouted this declarative roar, and the whole army once again launched an energetic attack on the enemy army in front!
Bai Feng, who was still sitting on his horse, had already shot the seventh Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow, and nearly a hundred enemy troops surrounding Antio and the others were killed by his Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow, but Bai Feng's was still unswervingly continuing his shooting.
With Bai Feng's strength as an eighth-level intermediate sword master, he could only shoot at most thirty Starfall Chasing Wind Arrows, and in today's battle, he had already shot twenty-seven times, and these last three were simply not enough to escort Antio to the goal of killing the flag.
It's not that Bai Feng doesn't want to directly aim at the enemy main general and use the Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow to shoot the enemy main general, but with the strength of Bai Feng's own intermediate sword master, the Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow shot by Bai Feng's own intermediate sword master has limited lethality to senior swordsmen and above, and the enemy main general may not have this strength?
In fact, with Antio's current state, even if he got close to the enemy general, he didn't have the strength to kill the enemy general, Bai Feng was just doing his best to help Antio fight, that's all.
Bai Feng, who was going all out, had already frantically activated the source of spiritual power in his own dantian, the last time he was so desperate was in the forest of the Sunset Mountain Range, that time it was to save Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, and this time Bai Feng was for Antio!
The twenty-eighth Starfall Chasing Arrow, the twenty-ninth Starfalling Chasing Arrow, the thirtieth Starfalling Chasing Arrow, and the thirty-first Starfalling Chasing Wind Arrow...... The source of spiritual power in Bai Feng's dantian was already running rapidly under Bai Feng's desperate urging, and even the eight spiritual power beads surrounding the source of spiritual power were also running rapidly, generating new spiritual power for Bai Feng as much as possible.
When Bai Feng used his slightly trembling right hand to pull out the Starfall Wind Chasing Arrow that had returned on its own from the quiver behind his back again, a familiar figure appeared on the battlefield in the distance, it was the battlefield ghost Adrian who had disappeared for nearly half an hour!
The reason why Bai Feng could clearly see his figure was because he suddenly jumped high in the dense battle formation of the enemy army, and tore the enemy's handsome banner with his dagger;
No one would have thought that the commander of the Eastern Alliance's 55,000 southern invasion army would be a young man with only the strength of a high-level swordsman.
If the enemy commander is a strong man with the strength of a great sword master, he doesn't need to retreat at all to kill himself head-on, why would he suddenly retreat under his own attack? Also, how can the enemy commander be so young, no matter how you look at it, he is only in his twenties.
What made Adrien feel even more tired was that when he flew to attack the enemy's commander, behind the enemy's commander, several great swordsman-level powerhouses suddenly rushed up to protect their commander; after being besieged by several great swordsmen, Adrien did not give up the attack on the enemy's commander, but used his flexible background to dodge the attacks of the enemy's strongmen.
Just as he pretended to run away and leaped forward, the enemy swordsmen caught up with him, and then he once again performed the same trick he tried with Webster, twisting his body at an incredible angle in the air, and then turning back to kill the enemy commander.
Before the enemy commander could react, Adrien slit his throat with a bloody dagger, and he completed the thrilling capture of the flag alone, and Adrien immediately rushed into the crowd of enemy soldiers and quickly disappeared without a trace.
In full view of the public, the commander of the army sitting on his horse was killed on the spot, the banner was taken away by the enemy, and the morale of the enemy army suffered a near-devastating blow; more importantly, the enemy army that was fighting separately had lost its unified command!
