Chapter 64: Sneak Attack in the Night

"Hmph, I'd like to see how long you Butternut family can be arrogant?" the Church of Light withdrew after such a cruel remark. But the deep feud with the Barthenon family and the two academy youths is over.

Resa and Edlaide were the most depressed. Their purpose in organizing this event is to boost the low morale and bring down the discouraged people. Unexpectedly, in the end, it backfired due to the fiasco of the Church of Light. They could not predict how many forces in the Bicester Kingdom would fall into the arms of the Barthenon family again after this operation.

The arrow has to be sent when it is on the string, and it will change when it is late. Resa and Edlaide gather their men that night. As expected, there have been many forces that have not been able to come on the grounds that they have important matters. Fortunately, the Church of Light was ashamed of the snow and responded positively. The masters of the Church of Light who came to the Kingdom of Bicester this time almost did their best to fully support the opposition's feat of sweeping the headquarters of the Barthenon family.

Countless black figures took advantage of the darkness to hide the Bartnon family's headquarters. Resa and Edlaide felt a little comforted in their hearts. Because it happened to be a dark and windy night, it seemed that the sky was pitiful, and it created the best time for them to sneak attack.

The headquarters of the Barthenon family has been laid to the ground. I saw that the gate was closed, and there was no light in the huge courtyard, and the real black light was blinding. Resa and Edlaide feel a little off. But forced by the situation, he resolutely decided to attack.

The first round, the long-range attack. There was a rain of arrows, and the compound remained silent. The huge, black courtyard seems to have turned into an ancient beast, capable of devouring all things. The ineffective attack made everyone have a bad premonition in their hearts.

It's a pity that the Bicester Kingdom is not strong enough to be worthy of the Demon Bow Team. Otherwise, an attack from a rain of magic arrows could of course turn the huge courtyard into rubble in an instant.

Resa and Edlaide gritted their teeth and signaled a second round of tentative attacks. The sturdy soldiers, dressed in black, climbed the wall with great agility from all directions and leaped into the dark inner courtyard. At first glance, you can see that it is a precious siege force that has undergone rigorous training.

Like a mud cow into the sea, it disappeared without a trace. There were no fights, no shouts, and no screams.

I waited for a long time, but there was no response. Everyone, including the masters of the Church of Light, felt hairy in their hearts. In front of him, it seems to be a secluded mansion connected to the ghost domain. Those who entered fell silently into the Netherworld. Otherwise, how could so many people have disappeared without a trace?

Seeing that the morale of their troops was getting lower and lower, the four elders began to chant incantations in pairs. With a loud "boom", the two hard and heavy metal doors in front and back of the compound turned into dust and disappeared completely. The crowd was thrilled to see such a powerful magic. Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Resa and Adelaide hurriedly ordered the horn of the general attack to be blown.

First the heavy cavalry stormed the dark gates, then the hoplites, then the pikemen, the ordinary infantry, and finally the archers. The magicians of the Church of Light float in the air, ready to provide magical support at any time.

The horses neighed and wailed. The heavily armored cavalry fell into the trap one after another. The pit was supposed to be filled with the carcasses of horses and cavalry before the troops behind could step through the pit and continue their attacks. Moreover, the speed of the horse was very fast, and even if the front cavalry could stop in time, they would be rushed into the pit by the rear cavalry who did not know the situation. The precious heavy cavalry, destined for heavy losses, was fortunate to be saved by the masters of the Church of Light's Earth Fighters who were sneaking underground. The power of the earth passed, and all the deep pits were filled in flat. The heavy cavalry continued to rampage.

Piao Wu sensed the abnormal fluctuations of the earth element and made a timely move. In the soil, bright yellow spears travel through the soil as if they were nothing. Several fighters hidden underground, unsuspectingly, were pierced through the heart by the earth spear. This time, the masters of the Church of Light who came to the Bicester Kingdom have all been buried in the deep soil so far. In the words of the East, it can be regarded as being in the ground. At the cost of the lives of several fighters, in exchange for the lives of hundreds of heavily armored cavalrymen, is it worth it or not? This is the question that the Church of Light should think about.

Countless arrows rained down on the hoplites and hoplites. Unfortunately, they were well-armoured, and neither men nor horses were harmed. The heavily armed forces continued to advance with unstoppable force from both sides into the depths of the compound. The archers who exposed their targets were quickly cleared out by the magicians in the air. Resa and Edlaide finally smiled, and they seemed to see the dawn of victory.

The battlefield is a place full of uncertainties, so we can't rejoice too soon. A rain of purple arrows and colorful arrows of light (the five elements of the same restraint) rise into the sky. Many mages in the air were pierced through their hearts, and their magical shields were as vulnerable as papier-mâché. With a rain of blood, the incredible magicians fell to the ground, trampled into meat sauce by the rushing iron stream. The huge psychological contrast made the smile that Resa and Edlaide had just shown quickly ossified on their faces, neither laughing nor crying, their expressions were complicated and extremely embarrassing.

The sudden attack caused a large area to be cleared in the air. The magicians, who had survived, hurriedly floated down to the horses of the cavalry on the ground, and fearfully hid behind the tall heavy cavalry. Kill them, and don't dare to fly high into the air arrogantly anymore and carry out magic attacks.

The Butternon family was not afraid of death, and they stopped the cavalry with spears in hand. This is definitely the elite of the army, the armor is surprisingly strong, and the war horse was only slightly injured, and the barricade in front of it was trampled into minced meat with an unstoppable force.

There were a few fighters mixed in with the dead. They floated on their horses and fought with great spirit, which brought a lot of losses to the heavy cavalry. However, these people were quickly attacked to death by the despicable magicians who were mixed in, and some were even directly bombarded to slag by magic. The torrent of steel continues to move forward.

Spearmen and ordinary infantry behind the hoplites stormed every room. Unfortunately, almost all the buildings were empty, but there were still a few old and sick people (all servants) who did not have time to evacuate, and they were all miserable and cut into pulp. Because, the soldiers were given the order that no grass should grow, and no chickens and dogs would be left. Then there was the looting of gold, silver, jewelry, and other goods, and finally the burning of the goods.

The headquarters of the Barthenon family, which was second only to the royal palace, was soon in flames.

The torrent of steel soon converged on the vast square in the center of the compound. Such an easy occupation made these brave and good soldiers a little unbelievable. They are attacking the number one family that has occupied the kingdom for a long time! Its strength is absolutely unmatched in the Bicester Kingdom.

The sound of "creaking" alarmed thousands of hoplites and hoplites. They widened their eyes like brass bells, but saw nothing.

With a loud "boom" sound, countless thick smoke rose from all around the square, and it was soon impossible to see. Everyone was on guard with their weapons in hand.

When the smoke cleared, they were shocked to find that there was a metal fence with huge barbs around the square. They have become turtles in an urn. The cavalry angrily rammed into the fence. But the fence seems to be made of special materials and is extremely strong. Many mounts and cavalry had been stabbed by barbs, but the fences were only slightly deformed. It seems that it is extremely difficult to break through in the short term.

The nose is sensitive, and it already smells a strange smell. When I looked down, I found that there was a lot of black, slightly viscous liquid under my feet.

"Whoosh", a red arrow of light, piercing the sky, like a bright star, looks particularly eye-catching in the night sky. The people in the fence saw the arrows of light coming straight for them. The light arrows that ravaged the mages frightened the heavily armored soldiers. According to the trajectory, the target of the attack dodged in a panic, impacting the already crowded crowd. The brief riot quickly turned into a huge panic. Because when the light arrow was inserted into the small clearing that everyone had squeezed out, it immediately caused a raging fire. The black viscous liquid boiled, frantically spitting out waves of incomparably hot tongues of fire.

"Teng, Teng, Teng", the magicians who were mixed in with the heavy armor hurriedly chanted a spell and flew away from the sea of fire.
