readx; Rex gasped slightly, took off the blood-spattered mask from his face, and glanced around to make sure nothing was left alive

Within a five-meter radius of his central point, dozens of black-clothed people were lying corpses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlmost every corpse is mutilated, with internal organs and blood spilled all over the ground, and the scene is as bloody as a slaughterhouse.

Rex had a look of exhaustion on his face that couldn't be concealed, although the strength of these men in black was uneven, most of them were at the level of ordinary soldiers, but there were also many masters, and it was not easy to kill them all.

However, these people were not afraid of death, and they were killed by Rex until only one or two people were left and did not surrender or run away, saving him from chasing them one by one.

And Rex also saw this, so he had no intention of keeping his mouth.

After wiping the blood-stained sword, Rex reached out and patted the blood-streaked warhorse, which was also covered in blood, before pulling the reins and rushing in the direction of the city gate.

He had a hunch that the situation there should have been resolved by now.

When the army of North Sunderland rushed into the city gate, a desperate mood had already permeated the hearts of all the city defenders, and some soldiers even stopped the fierce battle with the traitors in their hands, and looked at the enemy ** team that rushed into the city gate with a dull gaze.

At this moment, all the soldiers already thought that Sand Shield City was hopeless

It will eventually be trampled by the iron hooves of the enemy ** team, cut to pieces by sharp blades, and then completely destroyed in the flames of the sky.

The cavalry passed through the city gates with astonishing momentum, and rushed into the two sides of the city cave that were fighting, like a rampage war machine, the dense blades crushed the powerless enemy, stirring up a bloody atmosphere, leaving only the stumps and broken bones in the ground.

By the light of the torches, the soldiers could clearly see the hideous smiles on the faces of the several enemy non-commissioned officers who led the charge, galloping across on horseback, their silver armor glittering in the firelight, and their heavy swords waving up and down, constantly cutting down all the Lorenzo men in their path, whether they were city defenders or traitors

In just a few breaths, the traitors who were blocked inside had been slaughtered, some of them were killed by the city defenders, and the rest were all at the hands of the troops of North Sunderland, who desperately opened the gates and let them in.

For North Sunderland, whether it is a defender or a traitor, as long as the other party belongs to Lorenzo's people, it is a mortal enemy that must be killed.

This is the status quo between the two countries after the military conflict, and the mutual hatred between the two kingdoms has risen to an abnormal level.

In the face of the momentum of the cavalry, the city defenders could only choose to retreat at this step - perhaps it should be said that the rout was more appropriate, more than a hundred city defenders had no confidence that they could withstand thousands of enemy troops, especially when the infantry faced the cavalry that was already in a state of sprinting, they could only choose to turn around and flee outside the doorway, maybe only in this way could they pick up a life.

However, the only place where the defenders of the city could stop the cavalry was only possible in this narrow doorway, once they entered the more open terrain of the city, then the cavalry could completely spread the formation, and the defenders were even more powerless.

It's just that these soldiers, who have never been on the battlefield, can't understand this truth, and even if they do, they don't have the strength to stop the cavalry from entering the city.

Except for the dozen or so who rushed up and were crushed by the cavalry, the remaining more than a hundred defenders turned around and rushed out of the doorway, and fled in all directions.

"Kill them all"

Andrei rushed almost to the front of the cavalry, waving his sword high and shouting orders to the cavalry.

However, just as Andre led the cavalry out of the doorway, there was a sudden piercing friction on the city wall behind, and then there was a deafening loud bang, as if something huge had fallen from the city wall, and it fell directly to the ground.

André was almost knocked off his horse, and he hurriedly pulled the reins closer, turned his head to look behind him, and his eyes widened in shock.

I saw a wooden horse that was six or seven meters long and more than one meter high smashed down at the exit of the doorway aisle, directly killing seven or eight of the cavalry who were swarming below, and at the same time interrupting the torrent of the cavalry team.

Not only Andrei and his cavalry were shocked, but also the fleeing defenders of the city, and most of the soldiers stopped and turned their heads in shock.

The cavalry crammed into the doorway trampled on each other, and there were many injured people, although the formation and momentum were interrupted by the rejection of the horse, but they were also the elite army of North Sunderland, and immediately many cavalry began to dismount, intending to push away the long rejection in front of them.

But at this moment, there was a strong friction sound on the city wall again, and everyone in the city looked up, only to see that there were many figures hidden on the city wall, and another rejection horse was thrown off the city wall, and smashed directly on the rejection horse below, making a boom.

The second rejection horse directly smashed the first rejection horse, and at the same time suffered a lot of damage, but the wreckage of the two rejection horses directly blocked the exit of the doorway.

Although this army of North Sunderland was cavalry, they were all light cavalry, and it was only possible to break away from such a rejection with heavy cavalry.

The two repulsive horses completely interrupted the cavalry's attack, and André recovered from the shock, he found that the tide of battle had been completely reversed, and the five or six of their cavalry who rushed into the city were no longer victors, but completely surrounded prey.

Most of the defenders of the city who had fled had already turned around and surrounded their dozen or so cavalry.

Andre could almost see the hatred and murderous intent in the eyes of these defenders, he hurriedly beckoned his companions, turned his horse's head and tried to rush back, as long as he climbed through the two rejection horses, these defenders should not dare to continue the pursuit.

But as soon as Andrei made this move, the stairs leading to the top on both sides of the city wall rushed down a lot of people, there were nearly a hundred, except for the city defenders who were guarding other places, everyone else was wearing all kinds of equipment and clothing, and it didn't look like an army, but like a group of mercenaries and adventurers.

And the more than ten people in the lead, each wearing a red and white armor and a black cloak, made Andre feel cold in his heart with his majestic appearance.

He recognized that it was equipment unique to the Titan Holy See.

Could it be that the Holy See has intervened in this war, and the edict has arrived?

Andrei suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and he knew very well that this siege operation had failed.

When Susan and Esilia returned to the hotel, they did not stop in the hall, but went directly to Esilia's room and waited.

Ecilia is waiting for Francis to return after finding Captain Blue, while Susan is waiting for Elwin.

She estimated the time, and it was not far from what Elwin had agreed.

The two closed the door and sat face to face at the table and looked at each other without saying a word, Susan was expressionless and silent, while Ecilia opened her mouth, trying several times to find something to talk about, but in this situation, she didn't know what to say.

After a while, she took a deep breath, then looked at Susan's face and asked cautiously, "This...... Miss Susan, where are you and Mr. Erwin from? ”

"I'm from the Kingdom of Gaston." Susan glanced at Esilia, then thought for a moment and replied, "As for Erwin, he must be from Wadi Ferran."

"Gaston, Wadi Ferran?"

Esilia frowned, she could casually name any of the Titan Sect's powers, but Gaston and Wadi Ferran clearly made her feel strange.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized, and her eyes widened in surprise: "You are from the Southern Continent?" ”

Although there are many large and small countries in the northern continent, there are not two countries, Gaston and Wadi Ferran, but in the camp of the Nature's Breath Alliance in the southern continent, there is a very famous Gaston Kingdom.

Susan nodded, although the Titan Holy See and the Breath of Nature Alliance are now in a subtle state of hostility, but that is not a matter of concern to the general public, even if it is the people of the main country, if they meet someone from the opposite camp, their first reaction is usually curiosity, not hostility.

Therefore, Susan and Erwin would always answer truthfully when asked by others, because it would not cause them any trouble.

After receiving Susan's exact answer, a subtle smile unconsciously appeared on Esilia's face, her eyes were full of curiosity, and she couldn't help but say: "Miss Susan, can you tell me about the things of the South, I used to know about the things of the South only from books or some big businessmen. ”

Susan was thinking about something else, and when she saw Ecilia say this, she couldn't help but have a little headache.

She didn't want to refuse Eicilia's request, but her own experience was mediocre, and she had spent more than ten years of her life in the border cities of the Kingdom of Gaston, and there was little to talk about.

As for the living habits of ordinary people on both sides, apart from some subtle differences, many places are actually similar.

"I'd love to tell you," said Susan, shaking her head, "but unfortunately, I've always lived in my hometown, and haven't been anywhere, so I don't have anything interesting to tell you." ”

Esilia was a little disappointed at once, but she soon noticed the word "herself" in Susan's words, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't Miss Susan and Mr. Erwin come from the south to the north all the way?" ”

"I haven't known him for long, so to speak, only a few months." Susan was a little surprised when she said this, she felt as if she had known Erwin for a long time, but in fact it had only been a few months since he had been dug up from the tomb

"It's only been a few months?" The expression on Ecilia's face was obviously a little disbelieving, "But you seem to be in a good relationship?" ”

"Really? I guess I fit in with his personality......"

Susan suddenly felt a little blushing because she remembered that the two of them had slept in the same bed for a long time in order to save money.

However, the two have only known each other for a few months, and their relationship can become so harmonious and deep, probably related to the fact that the two have experienced many life and death dilemmas in the Shadow Mountain Range, and they have crossed such a long distance together, directly from the south to the north, and they can only help each other and support each other in unfamiliar places.

No, it's only Susan who is unfamiliar with life, and Erwin can live no matter where he goes

"Miss Susan, can you tell me a little bit about how you got to know Mr. Erwin, and how you got to this place in the north......

Curiosity burned again in Ecilia's eyes, and she thought that her favorite thing was to listen to adventurers and mercenaries tell stories about their adventures.

Susan sighed, she could finally understand Erwin's usual fear of trouble.

In this case, she was really in no mood to tell a story to Ecilia, and at the same time, she was a little reluctant to tell others about her and Erwin, especially such a girl who was much more beautiful than herself.

But Ecilia's eyes widened with curiosity, and her face was full of expectation, like a little sister who wanted to listen to a story from her elders before going to bed to sleep peacefully, and Susan couldn't bear to refuse her, so she had no choice but to tell her some irrelevant things.

It's just that when Susan said that the two of them were chased by necromancers to the Ruins Fortress in the Shadow Mountains, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the room

Susan's face immediately sank, and she grabbed the wing bow on the table with her backhand, and then reached out to pull up Ecilia, who had not yet noticed anything.

Ecilia was listening attentively, and Susan's sudden action made her stunned for a moment, her ears were not as sensitive as Susan's, but she soon became nervous when she heard footsteps in the corridor outside.

"Could it be that Francis is back?" Ecilia whispered.

Susan's slender willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then she shook her head: "If he came back, he wouldn't walk like this." ”

Susan spent a day in the inn and learned that the true owner of the group was a young man named Francis, an impetuous and timid apprentice knight.

Pulling Ecilia behind her, Susan pulled a bow and arrow from her quiver, then stretched out her winged bow and aimed it at the closed door of the room.

The footsteps outside the hallway stopped outside the door, and seemed to notice the silence of Susan and Ecilia in the room.

The whole hotel was extremely quiet for a while, and the two sides confronted each other through the door.

As the minutes passed, the people in the corridor outside the door suddenly reached out and grabbed the doorknob as if they didn't want to wait any longer, and pushed the door inside.

The moment the door was opened, Susan's hand hooking the bowstring had already been released, and the extremely taut bowstring pushed the bow and arrow on it violently, and the sharp arrow pierced the air and made a sharp whistling sound, which instantly swept through the room, hitting the door that had not yet been pushed open, shooting through the thin door panel, and continuing to shoot towards the people standing outside the door.

The next moment, there was a "grab" sound from the hallway, the sound of the bow and arrow nailed to the wall, and when she heard this sound, Susan knew that her arrow had not hit the target.

With a loud bang, the whole door was pushed open suddenly, and the half-squatting person outside rushed in like a snake ready to attack, rushing towards Susan, and the sword light in his hand was like a continuous exercise.

Susan was about to pull another bow and arrow from her quiver, but the rushing figure stopped her movements with a furious attack.

Susan could only push the hand that was about to draw the bow and arrow back, pushing Ecilia away from her, and at the same time used the wing bow in her hand as a weapon and threw it forward.

The bow arm of the winged bow slammed into the sudden sword light, and the tremendous force made Susan's palm holding the bow and arrow tremble, as if holding a red-hot iron rod in the palm of her hand, and the whole arm became sore.

Fortunately, the wing bow is a high-grade equipment, if it is replaced with an ordinary longbow, it will be cut off by the sword light at this time, and even so, a deep knife mark has been left on the bow arm of the wing bow.

The figure's assault was interrupted by Susan, who paused in his movements, and immediately revealed himself - a grim smile on his face.

He pulled the short knife back in his hand, and then took advantage of the bent position to continue stabbing at Susan's chest.

Susan raised her winged bow to block Gegil's dagger, and with her other hand pulled out the dagger strapped to her thigh, stabbing it hard at Gegill's face.

Gegil raised his other hand and gripped the dagger that was stabbing at his face, ignoring the dagger's cut palm, and immediately used his short knife to pick up the entanglement of the wing bow, and the blade slashed downward.

Susan made a quick decision, let go of the dagger and dodged back, narrowly dodging the attack of the knife light, but in this way, Susan also had no weapons for close combat.

"Go, jump off the balcony."

Seeing that Gegil's gaze fell on Ecilia's body, Susan immediately stood in front of her and shouted to Ecilia in a low voice.

Ecilia gritted her teeth, shoved the sword she had been carrying into Susan's hand, and then turned and ran towards the balcony.

Having fought with Gergil once, Ecilia was now self-aware, and she knew that if she held on, she would only get in the way of Susan, who wanted to keep her safe.
