Chapter 138: The Wrath of the Holy Light
Da, da, da......
In the middle of the night, under the dark clouds, the earth was completely shrouded in darkness, like a giant beast with a bloody mouth, about to devour all life that dared to provoke.
On the grassy road, an ironclad cavalry condensed into a torrent and rushed forward.
Each of these knights wore metallic cold armor, the visor on the helmet was pulled down, leaving only a pair of rock-like indifferent eyes exposed, the part where the helmet and the armor were connected had a layer of iron ring chain mail to protect the neck, the hands wore gloves made of wire and hemp rope, and the feet were on metal combat boots, and almost every part of the body was covered with metal.
More than 100 people marched, except for the sound of horses' hooves, they couldn't hear the slightest sound, and in this silent calm, there was a cold killing intent.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, three huge shadows suddenly swooped out from the grass on the right, and a disgusting fishy smell blew down the cold wind.
Woohoo!
Almost at the same time as the wolf beast pounced, three crossbow arrows rushed out, two of which were in the center of the eyebrows, and the arrows mixed with silver shot into the head, and immediately two wolf beasts were killed on the spot with a whimper, and the last one flew over the head of the wolf beast, and the wolf beast that escaped screamed and pounced on the nearest knight with a fierce roar.
Swish......
The silver sword came out of its sheath, drawing a graceful arc in the faint moonlight, sweeping over the neck of the wolf beast, and when the hideous wolf head flew up, the blood in the broken neck splattered more than a meter high.
"Paul, it's time for you to practice your archery." The knight who drew the sword inserted the sword back into its scabbard, and at the same time said coldly under the iron mask, without turning his head to look at it from beginning to end.
The knight who missed the crossbow arrow immediately bowed his head slightly and said, "Yes, Legion Chief." ”
These knights are the Holy Light Legion cultivated by Qin Changfeng.
In addition to the armor that covered the whole body, each of them was armed to the teeth, with a crosssword, a crossbow, a short dagger, and a row of throwing knives.
Each set of equipment can be said to be made of silver coins, if it weren't for Qin Changfeng leading people to hunt down a few Deathwalker squads, and ripping off their equipment and recasting them for Thomas to solve the material problem, even if all the four lords' family funds were emptied, I am afraid it would not be able to make it up.
Vampire warriors, whether they are armor, weapons, horses, or even the shirts and underpants they wear, are all strategic materials that the Holy Light Legion needs.
Of course, although the corpse was thoroughly processed, the abnormal disappearance of the Deathwalker team also attracted the attention of the vampire castle, and sent many people to come out to investigate at night, but they always targeted the wolf beast, and never thought that it would be humans who did all this, so they never found anything.
In addition to this, Thomas, who has been upgraded by forging mastery scrolls, also plays a crucial role in this, and with enough people to fight, he can forge equipment as fast as seven or eight blacksmiths alone.
The current Holy Light Legion, a total of ninety-eight people, seven of them died while hunting the Death Walker Squad and the wolf beasts, this was under the condition that Qin Changfeng personally led the team, otherwise the number of casualties would probably have increased by more than three or five times.
I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, in more than half a year of secret hunting, Qin Changfeng has never met Victor's daughter Sonia, the vampire elite warrior who is obsessed with galloping and fighting in the dark night.
The legion commander Michael is the boy who once doubted Qin Changfeng, perhaps because of the hardships and tempering, although he is only eighteen years old, he is mature and steady, brave and resolute, and his loyalty to Qin Changfeng has reached 95%, side by side with Thomas.
And even in terms of combat effectiveness, he is also a well-deserved number one in the entire legion, and his melee skills are not even comparable to Qin Changfeng now, and he is also one of the few people who has cultivated the Vajra Incorruptible Divine Skill to the third layer.
Here Qin Changfeng has to admire his talent is really amazingly good, it's just that their Vajra is not bad and the magic skill can't open the skill, but ...... The internal force of Buddhism unexpectedly has a strong killing bonus to dark creatures, whether it is attached to a long sword or a crossbow arrow throwing knife, once it hits a werewolf or vampire, the effect is like boiling oil poured into the ice and snow, so that the wound recovery speed of these dark creatures is greatly reduced.
Running in the night, whether it was a wolf beast or a vampire along the way, they were quickly strangled.
In a world where darkness has been shrouded for hundreds of years, humanity is fighting back and is starting to roar of its own!
Iron hooves flying, armor cold, among all of them, only Qin Changfeng was holding a scepter, still wearing the Pope's robe, not armor.
He and Thomas rode their horses side by side at the front, Thomas was the leader, and Qin Changfeng was looking at the nearby situation through the pet demon god.
If it was just as a servant, the Demon God was undoubtedly very good, its swift speed, powerful tracking and olfactory abilities, and telepathy with Qin Changfeng all made it play a pivotal role in this rush.
From Thomas's description of the death of the previous Pope, it can be deduced that the Crohns probably betrayed them to the vampires when the Pope lobbied, and then used the power of the vampires to kill all the upper echelons of the Holy See, and finally occupied the fortress of the Holy See.
It can be seen that compared to the lords who want to rebel against Jonna, the Crohn family is undoubtedly the most loyal lackeys of vampires.
Therefore, this rush must not leak the news in advance, so that Crohn Castle can get vampire reinforcements, at least not before they capture the castle, otherwise if they want to capture a castle with dozens of them, the casualties will be unacceptable.
The night was dark, and a few hours later, it was drizzling.
The raindrops hit the armor and made a ticking sound, and then gathered into a stream of water flowing down the gaps in the armor connections, soaking the inner lining a little bit, and then sticking to the skin wetly, in addition to being uncomfortable, it will also greatly test the knight's endurance.
But from beginning to end, no one spoke, and no one shouted tired, as if they were all carved out of stone, without consciousness or emotion.
I don't know how long the time passed, and Qin Changfeng couldn't remember how many miles he had run, and finally, before Li Min, when it was darkest, Thomas grabbed the reins and stopped.
"Arrived?" Qin Changfeng asked calmly, this test was not worth mentioning to him.
Thomas nodded on horseback, then pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said: "The castle is hidden on the top of the mountain, the terrain is very dangerous, cliffs on three sides, and the only side facing the passage must have been guarded by the Krohn family, but I know a secret passage that can directly enter the castle." Crohn probably never imagined that the castle he had taken so much trouble to occupy would become his graveyard! ”
Qin Changfeng could hear the unforgettable hatred for the Crohn family in his voice, obviously the death of the previous Pope had always made him haunted.
"Guardian, I promise that the blasphemers who betray the Light will be punished as they deserve!" After Qin Changfeng appeased Thomas, he turned to Michael and asked, "My legion leader, vampires can't be dispatched during the day, do you think it's better for us to attack now, or wait until the sun rises before attacking?" ”
Michael said in a hoarse voice, "This isn't a vampire castle, so we don't have to wait. ”
There is a lot of confidence in this calm voice!
"Then leave this battle to you to command, and I will not strike except for the necessary moments."
"Michael will live up to your promise!"
After saluting His Excellency the Pope with impeccable movements, the Legion Captain turned to his knight and shouted: "Mia, you take ten men to take care of the horses, and the rest all of them will hike up the mountain with me!" ”
There was no reply, because everyone had already started to act.
…………
Half an hour later, when Qin Changfeng followed the knights up the mountain cautiously and pulled out a large pile of bushes and vines, he finally saw a castle on the top of the mountain behind the trees.
This is a castle made of all stones, the huge shadow of the castle stands high in the night, sure enough, it is a cliff on three sides, and the front is also firmly blocked by a wall more than ten meters high, even if a wolf beast wants to rush to such a city wall, it is not a simple matter.
It's no wonder that the Crohns are tempted by this castle, it is indeed a good place to defend and difficult to attack.
However, there are always invisible weaknesses in a strong fortress, and the secret passage that Thomas used to escape from the castle is now a shortcut to the castle.
Qin Changfeng did not follow Michael and them into the secret passage, but waited at the edge of the woods.
In the case of a sneak attack, you can't capture a small castle with only human handles...... Qin Changfeng really had to consider giving up this group of waste materials, and then find another way.
Fortunately, these fighters, who grew up in a brutal environment, did not disappoint him.
After only a dozen minutes, I saw a sudden fire burning in the dark castle, and when it was swept by the wind, the flames immediately rose into the sky, and then the screams and wails suddenly shattered the night sky.
In less than a minute, there was chaos on the front wall, and a knight could be seen rushing up the wall, and under the swing of the long sword, there was almost no enemy, and the light of the torches reflected only a cold metallic luster.
"The door is opened, Your Majesty, let's go in." The blonde-haired Elizabeth whispered that she was the only one who did not wear a helmet, which was the privilege that Qin Changfeng gave her. In fact, as a woman, she really couldn't cultivate the internal skills of Vajra is not bad, so she didn't become a powerful warrior in the Holy Light Legion as her father Jonah expected. In the later time, more people stayed by Qin Changfeng's side to play the role of an attendant officer.
"Crohn, when you stepped on the blood and corpses of the Holy See and walked into this castle, did you ever think that you would also use blood and corpses to atone for your sins tonight?"
When Qin Changfeng walked into the gate of the city wall, he heard Thomas's voice roaring like a night owl under the night sky.
