Caobis Fort, one of the three major military fortresses, is home to the famous Knights of the Thorn Birds.

On the day of the eclipse, the Thornbird Knights also suffered heavy losses, but compared to other places, the Thornbird Knights quickly pacified the entire Kaobisburg, killing all the ghouls on the ground.

Therefore, this loss is nothing, and the strength of preservation is also extremely considerable.

Now, the Thorn Bird Knights have a total of 100 powerful knights, more than 300 knight apprentices and 2,000 elite soldiers, especially in this dark age, it is the pillar of the entire Thorn Bird Kingdom.

And Barak, the head of the Thorn Bird Knights, was the chief of the guard of the Grand Duke of the Thorn Bird when he was young, and was once given the surname Owen for his meritorious service, and now he is nearly 50 years old, but he is still vigorous and energetic.

Barak was six feet nine inches tall, weighed two hundred pounds, had short dark hair and eyes, a full beard that stood on end like a steel needle, a deeply wrinkled forehead, deep-set eyes, and always squinted his eyes, which were particularly eerie against the backdrop of his hooked nose, and seemed to have a cold light in his eyes, like a knife stabbing at others.

He received a call for help, and without hesitation, the loyal commander of the legion led half of his army to reach St. Aobie five days later.

Now he was at the gates of the city.

"Rocket, ready!"

At his command, two hundred longbowmen bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows soaked in fire oil were ignited, aiming at the mass of carriages blocking traffic at the city gates.

"Launch!"

Woohoo......

The carriage was hit, and the long-withered carriage burst into flames.

Ghouls sprang out of it and were nailed to the ground with bows and arrows.

"Grenadier, up!"

More than 50 sturdy soldiers, all of them strong, armed with iron helmets, cuirasses, a short sword, and three cans of fire oil, stepped out.

This is a new class created by Barak for the times, and they are especially effective in clearing the city of ghouls.

The Grenadier has a very strong arm, they can throw the oil bottle for 70 yards, the attack range is a little farther than the javelinman, and the fire oil bottle has a very large attack range, even if the accuracy is poor, so the attack power is also very strong.

More than 50 grenadiers rushed towards the city gate, and in the process did not forget to light the oil bottle in their hand, and when they were 50 yards away from the city gate, they threw the oil bottle in their hand.

More than 50 oil bottles swirled in the air, bringing a few hints of warmth to the air illuminated by the icy sun.

Cracking sound!

The oil bottles smashed into the carriage, the ground, and the city walls, and then shattered, and the flames of the oil inside exploded, turning the entire city gate into a sea of fire.

Several ghouls ran out in panic, screaming in terror as they burned with flames, and were killed by the crossbowmen with arrows.

Barak narrowed his eyes as he looked at the burning city gate, and after a while, the fire at the city gate was a little smaller, and then waved his hand: "Forward!" ”

The soldiers slowly advanced, and more than 30 soldiers with long-handled scythes ran a few steps to the city gate, and used their scythes to drag the burning carriages to both sides of the road, and then a group of heavily armored knights rushed over, accompanied by a splash of sparks, they passed through the city wall, trampling and extinguishing most of the flames.

They were followed by 150 knightly apprentices who served as hussars, whistling by, bringing up a wind that swept up the flames, and then the Goblet of Fire was trampled out.

Further back, it was a group of heavily armored and heavily shielded infantry armed with huge shields, pushing forward with heavy shields to extinguish the flames.

At this point, the flames could no longer affect the army, and they lined up neatly and quickly passed through the city gates.

As soon as he entered the city, Barak jerked his head up and looked at the treetops in the distance, where the branches swayed slightly, and a leaf fluttered down.

"Commander, what's wrong?"

A knight commander asked in a whisper, and Barak shook his head, his brow furrowed, "Tell everyone, be careful." ”

The chief knight nodded solemnly, retreated, and exchanged words with the rest of the chief knights, passing on the order.

"Barak is in town!"

Looking out through the crack in the window, the dust and smoke billowed in the distance, and the young man's face was gloomy.

Why is the Grand Duke of the Thorn Bird of the Emerald Palace so arrogant, forcing everyone to death, and he is not afraid of them at all, not only because of the reputation of the Owen family for a hundred years, but also because the Grand Duke of the Thorn Bird has strong military capabilities, and this Barak is the first lackey of the Grand Duke of the Thorn Bird in their eyes.

Their hatred of Barak is second only to that of the Owen family.

Simona sat cross-legged on the ground, with a look of hatred on her face, and kept stroking the bow in her hand, and said, "What should we do, go ambush him?" ”

If there was anyone present who hated Barak the most, it was Simona.

Simona's father was killed in prison because he was sent by Barak as bait in a war, and that war was Barak's battle for fame.

For this father-killing enemy, Simona has always wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

"No... No! They are too powerful. ”

The middle-aged blacksmith's eyes were full of horror, and unlike the young man, he and Simona, as once a good citizen, were more afraid of the powerful.

Facing a famous big man like Barak, before he faced it, he was already afraid of three points in his heart, and when he really faced it, he might not be able to get fifty percent of his combat power.

"Simona, don't be impulsive." A glint flashed in the young man's eyes, and he knew more about Angela and Barack than anyone present: "Balack will not be the opponent of that one." ”

"But ......"

As soon as Simona spoke, she was stopped by the young man: "Simona, listen to me, Rock City is not a good place, there are countless people there who are more vicious and cunning than Barak, but where have they gone so far?" ”

"I've heard some merchants who were lucky enough to leave Troubled Stone City early say that the one who alone played with everyone in the entire Troubled Stone City in applause, and made them run around like a clown, that one has more than just great power, very wisdom, she can't be unguarded against Barak."

Simona fell silent, slowly closed her eyes, calmed down for a while, and said, "Barak, they're coming, seal the windows, don't look outside." I have assassinated Barak, but I have not succeeded, not only because Barak himself is extremely cautious, taking several powerful guards with him every time he goes out, but also because he is very powerful, and his instincts are extremely sharp, sometimes he can even detect the eyes of voyeurs and sense the killing intent of others. ”

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and Simona said such a thing, which meant that she had calmed down.
