There was a commotion at the city gates.

"What are you doing! This is a rebellion! ”

No one answered. The inner line that Xi Shangjue had planted in advance had already changed into the clothes of the territorial guards, and took advantage of the night to hide in the shadows near the city gate, and when the killing sound roared outside the wall, he immediately took action, killing all the guards in the blink of an eye.

The huge deadbolt was solved. This is the advantage of the civil war, as long as you use your brain, what do you want to storm the city or the ladder? Are not your gates, and my gates, the gates of the kingdom? Say no, just open it?

Thousands of heavily armed men and horses rushed into the city with torches like a tidal wave, and the few guards who arrived turned around in fright and fled before they could run a few steps, and were trampled to death by the horses in the front.

"Be careful, sir!"

"Humph!"

He put down his heavy knight's spear and instantly switched to a sword and shield, raising his head to meet the arrows from above the city walls.

The good end of the city wall was naturally guarded, and despite the panic and fear, they still shot arrows below. Arrows shot by about fifty or sixty people...... Not even a single enemy was killed, and at most a dozen people were slightly injured. I saw Xi Shangjue raise his shield and swing his sword, and three or four arrows ended without a problem.

Without any general's orders, the well-trained army immediately divided into squads of about three hundred men and rushed up the walls from the stone steps on both sides.

"Mom! Enemy attack, enemy attack! "The guards saw that the disparity in numbers was too great, and they didn't even have a second round of archery, so they just threw their bows and ran away. I saw that someone really threw away his helmet in order to increase his escape speed, and he literally threw away his armor.

Although he despised archers, he also required his infantry to be equipped with light crossbows for the sake of tactical diversity. One hundred and fifty men on the left and one hundred and fifty men on the right, each pursued and killed twenty or thirty guards who were frightened and fled, and the half round of crossbow arrows was leveled out by a salvo.

In the blink of an eye, the gates were breached, and the walls were occupied, in a total of only two minutes.

As if he smelled something, Xi Shangjue subconsciously put his index finger under his nose...... He was thinking about something.

Before he could think of an answer, he first swung his sword according to the plan and shouted, "Find the evil goblins, and kill them all!" All human beings who dare to harbor will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

Huge torches poured out in the night and spread like trees in the main street. They began to kick open the door from house to house, digging through it. Prior to this, private permission had been obtained for the soldiers to keep the looted belongings for themselves.

All civilians who are lying on the ground with their heads in their hands are spared, and all those who shout more and move more are killed. The actual situation was even more tragic than expected, most of the civilians panicked and were not wise, or hugged their wives and children and shouted for the soldiers' lives, or hid under the bed in the cabinet, or cried and screamed in fright, or pushed the soldiers to ask who you are and what are you going to do?

Entering ten households, burning ten households, killing eight and a half households, and the sound of crying and begging for mercy came from five households, which could not be stopped for a long time.

Killing people without seeing them is already the mercy of the nobles.

The deep night quickly became noisy and filled with fire. This situation is not only the case in the West City Gate, but also in the four directions, after all, it was negotiated in advance by the four nobles.

“…… Does a common enemy prompt an alliance? Sishanjue touched his beard and muttered to himself. The last time the Quartet Shangjue joined forces didn't know it was hundreds of years ago, which is really ironic.

Suddenly, a soldier ran to the horse of Xishanjue and reported: "My lord! Catch a live mouth! ”

Sishanjue beckoned, and the soldiers immediately dragged the captives over. It was the guy who shot an arrow at the gate wall just now, and he was also the fastest to escape, and he was lucky enough to escape in the first round of crossbow arrows. But where can we escape from today's situation? The guy fled along the city wall, found that the north gate was also on fire, and immediately turned around and ran back, so he was caught red-handed by the enemy who came to shoot a crossbow in the knee.

Xi Shangjue felt uneasy in his heart. Although the plan has gone smoothly so far, it seems to be a little too smooth. More than ten minutes passed, and apart from the painless resistance of more than two hundred guards in total, no characters related to the Heavenly Mage showed their faces.

…… It's kind of weird.

"Wow, my lord, spare my life, spare my life! I'm a recruit, so I don't know anything! The arrested guards were really crying, and there was a faint smell of urine coming from their bodies.

Sishanjue grabbed the captive and brought him to him. The former straddles his horse, and the latter now has his feet off the ground and has difficulty breathing.

The roaring light of the fire dyed Xi Shangjue's steely face with a layer of fierce light, which made people shudder: "Say, why are you running away?" ”

"If you don't run, are you going to die?"

"As a guard of the kingdom, you will die at your post! Why did you run away so decisively? ”

"I've only been a city guard for three days, my lord, woo woo ......" The captive had snot and tears streaming down his face, and his teeth were fighting, "The city is particularly sluggish, and I am a soldier who eats with a mouth, thinking that no one dares to touch the territory of the Heavenly Mage, who knows that I am so unlucky!" ”

The corners of Xi Shangjue's mouth twitched: "Why are there so few guards guarding the city tonight?" Didn't your lord have a prophetic mage to inform him of a bad omen tonight? ”

"Wronged, my lord! Everyone has a rumor that celestial mages hate prophetic mages, and in fact, there are indeed a few prophetic mages who have mysteriously disappeared! Everyone heard that the lord was injured and would not come back, so they were all lazy! ”

Xi Shangjue's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

As the saying goes, it's hard to buy money. What nobleman doesn't keep a few prophetic mages around as an early warning? Even if you can't see it as clearly as the Prophet, you can estimate the good fortune.

In fact, the Prophetic Mage is one of the important reasons why the Starfall Continent, which is underpopulated and has a shallow history, has been able to barely gain a foothold in the world to protect itself. She? This mother-in-law actually despises the precious prophetic mage?

"Haha, you idiot!" Xi Shangjue looked up to the sky and laughed, not only laughing at the stupidity and ignorance of the Heavenly Realm mage, but also laughing at how redundant it was to be cautious. Recalling that when the four nobles conspired, they thought of countless strategies to hinder the prediction, for fear that the powerful Yu Hankou was also proficient in the prediction, so that the sneak attack would come to naught. It's ridiculous, it's funny!

The captive sniffed and grinned, "Great, are you willing to spare your life?" ”

Xi Shangjue nodded, and casually threw the adult man who was more than 1.7 meters high into the air, and a wail pierced the sky.

Xi Shangjue stepped on the saddle, jumped fifty or sixty meters above the ground, held the sharp one-handed sword above his head, and swung it down vigorously. The weight of the fall, the strength of the arm to swing the sword...... Xi Shangjue split the person into two in the air!

The light metal armor of the captives and the half-burned houses were all easily split with the sword of the old man in his twilight years, and the raging flames even opened a gap for a moment, and it could not be closed.

"Lord Xishangjue is mighty! Lord Xishanjue is mighty! ”

The soldiers who witnessed this astonishing scene immediately stopped what they were doing and cheered in unison, resounding through the heavens and the earth, as if they had completely forgotten that this was still the enemy's main formation.

Scold.

Xi Shangjue smiled softly, and turned over on his horse again, and the sword body was not stained with blood.

His ancestors were warriors, and although he didn't know magic, he knew a lot of amazing skills. He also has a small magic crystal in his body, which combines with that weak mana to form a unique sword technique, slashing the sky and the air. The title of the ancestor was won on the battlefield and has been passed down from generation to generation.

"Main force, come with me!" With a smug smile, the Lord rode straight into the depths of the city. Why should you be cautious when dealing with a guy like a celestial mage who is more powerful and less strategic?

Ridiculous, ridiculous!
