Chapter 45: The Tangulas Assassins (Part I)
[There will be a change later, thank you for insisting on voting, working hard, working hard]
"County Lord, why would someone stop us from advancing!" The question was asked by Juan, who did not know who else in Qin Yin's land would make the emperor's daughter unhappy.
"On the other side of the river is the city of Hadisai, the domain of the Count of Mocolari. This wall grass has finally fallen to the House of Commons, but unfortunately this kind of person still doesn't have enough guts. If he really wants to please my uncle, he should send heavy cavalry to block the bridge, and then I will have to take a detour. Juan, do you understand now?"
Juan shook his head in shame, his family is not a big family, and it is impossible for him to even have a title. He has only seen the deeds of these nobles in books. Since leaving home, he has been studying in Kushui County, devoting himself to magic. It may be okay to let him fight, what Lord Rex said, he can't understand.
"To put it bluntly, someone wants to disgrace me. An earl dares to block the way, if I really take a detour, not only will I arrive in Holy Rock City half a month late, but the House of Lords will also be disappointed in me. I don't think Mokolari is ready to bleed. Lord Rex said calmly, and Saleen had already understood.
It was nothing more than a contradiction between the old and new nobility of the empire, with the emperor holding the upper house and controlling the hereditary nobility. The prince controls the House of Commons and controls the new nobility. Sadly, this was clearly a means for the royal family to weaken the nobility, but the old and new nobility were still at odds with each other and had never been united.
The four empires were founded almost at the same time, only the Qin Yin Empire has experienced more than seven hundred years, and the number of nobles has not swelled to a dangerous number. The other three empires all had serious problems, Skocinia was decaying and degenerating, Tangulas was controlled by the Holy See, and the Yunliu Empire had forgotten the glory of the Fourth Dynasty and had already bought and sold titles.
And Qin because of the empire, the two courts tilted against each other, and the imperial power was stable and abnormal.
The battle at the bridgehead instantly became extremely bloody, with Tinis rushing to the front, and more than a hundred cavalry formed a wedge-shaped charge. Tinis's riding sword was four feet long, and the blade of the sword was more than a foot long near the hilt, but instead made into a rectangle, embedded with a golden magic array, and inlaid with magic cores on both sides.
With a few meters to go, Tinis swung his sword with one hand and slashed forward.
The huge cavalry sword shot out a deep purple flame, more than ten meters long, and slashed right in the center of the thirty or so soldiers at the bridgehead. The five soldiers were slashed by the sword, and their bodies smelled burnt, and blue smoke rose from their armor, whimpering and falling to the ground.
"It's a magic sword, run away......"
Burst......
A sword light swept by, and the screaming man's head flew up, blood spurting from his neck into the sky with a rapid hissing sound.
The cavalry of the Kushui Army successfully cut through the enemy's ranks, and rushed onto the iron bridge without looking back. When their horses stepped over, the corpses of more than thirty soldiers were behind them.
With a bang, a crossbow arrow was fired head-on, but the light cavalry on the opposite bank was too nervous and shot the crossbow arrow in advance. The arrow was shot from more than two hundred meters away, and Tinis did not blink an eye, and the speed of the charge increased to the extreme. A wind shield was formed at the sharp iron horns on the chest of his horse, and the crossbow arrows that were shot were too far away to be lethal, and the wind shield blew and flew into the river.
"Hmph, a bunch of trash. Tinis didn't even pull off his metal mask, and faced the two hundred light horsemen on the opposite bank, brandishing his riding sword, ready to strike a second attack.
The officer standing at the head of the bridge is already stupid, although the soldiers of Hadisai City train hard, but the empire has been peaceful for more than 700 years, and here is deep in the interior, where has I seen such a terrible killing. The more than 100 cavalrymen who rushed over on the bridge had not yet arrived, and the murderous aura first enveloped the two hundred light cavalry on the east side of the bridge.
The horse's hooves made a short clatter on the iron bridge, and the officer did not hesitate to turn around and flee first. Although the other party was not a real heavy cavalry, the armor on his whole body was like magic armor, especially the sword like a fire dragon, which completely shattered his confidence.
The earl only said that he would humiliate the other party, where would he have thought that there would be such a result.
It didn't matter if he ran, the two hundred light horsemen lost their main general, and suddenly scattered like a hornet that had blown up its nest.
Tinis was furious, he didn't plan to slaughter the other party, and the people on the west side of the bridge were disrespectful to the county lord, so he killed him. And the fact that the people on this side abandoned their positions without putting up resistance is simply a disgrace for the soldiers.
He didn't think about it, these soldiers are usually doing training, where can they compare with the bitter water army. The swordsmen of the Bitter Waters were sent out to train, and all of them had been to the Tangulas Empire, and many of them had blood on their hands. Needless to say, killing thieves, there are also some high-level demonic beasts slaughtered, and they have extremely rich combat experience.
For example, the dead Rocky, his team actually killed a green dragon. Although it is the weakest dragon to kill, dragons can fly, and it is quite difficult to kill. Many mercenary groups with mages can't deal with the cunning green dragon.
Tinis kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the horse's head deflected, and he charged sideways towards the fleeing soldier, his sword swept sideways. Another fire dragon more than ten meters long. This attack was very effective against the frontal defensive position, and the pursuit of the deserter did not work, unleashing the magic on the mounted sword, Tinis shouted, and the cavalry behind him scattered like a flank.
In fact, there is no need to have any tactics against the enemy who has collapsed, as long as they are given a way to live, these light cavalry simply do not have the courage to stop and resist. The more than 100 cavalrymen simply put away their swords, drew their short javelins, and threw them one after another.
After chasing for miles and killing more than fifty people, Tinis stopped. Despite looking down on his opponent, Tinis still didn't dare to chase too far, after all, Hadi Sai City was too close to here, and the other party was a first-class earl, so it was still possible to raise a few thousand swordsmen.
Regrouping the group, Tinis returned to the bridgehead, and asked the soldiers to pick up the double-bowed crossbows abandoned by the light cavalry and hold the bridgehead, before blowing the whistle. The sharp metal whistle pierced more than a mile away, and the brigade of the Bitter Water Army restarted and drove towards the iron bridge.
This is a big road, and there are a lot of pedestrians, and when they saw a battle happening, they all ran clean. The Bitter Waters were still on guard, escorting Lord Rex's carriage to the iron bridge.
Lord Rex's carriage slowed down, flanked by cavalry protection, as if facing a great enemy. These soldiers are people with rich combat experience, and they know that they must be cautious after victory, and if they slack off, they may be attacked by the enemy.
As he passed the bridge, Lord Rex sighed softly when he saw the corpses on the ground.
"This is not the time to be soft-hearted. Faren said suddenly. He knew very well that he would face a lot of trouble when he returned to Yanjing this time, far more troublesome than here in Hadi Saicheng.
"I just thought, these soldiers are dying worthless, Garudan is going to be in chaos, the dark mages are infiltrating the border, and mages alone can't completely eliminate these people. It's all Imperial soldiers......"
"If they think of themselves as Imperial soldiers, they shouldn't stop the county lord. Juan looked at the corpses and said coldly.
Lord Rex knocked on the window of the car and said to the soldiers outside, "Leave a hundred people and clean up the corpses." ”
Salin looked at Lord Rex's frowning brows, not knowing how sincere her pity was.
When the carriage reached the middle of the iron bridge, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the river under the bridge, broke through the bridge plank, and rushed up. This black shadow is like a sharp arrow, and it wants to assassinate the Lord of Rex directly from under the carriage.
Rumble!
It was only then that the river exploded, spreading a mist that enveloped the carriage.
The Assassin's timing may not have been the best, but his tactics were ingenious, and when his sword stabbed at the bottom of the carriage, the mist created just in time blocked the view of the soldiers around him.
The assassin's sword was swarthy, only a finger wide, and the blade flashed with cyan sword light, which was the sword qi that would burst out at any moment. Even if he is not a sword master, he has reached the peak state of a sword master.
The driver of the car seemed to have known that someone was going to assassinate him, and he suddenly increased his speed. The Assassin's blow had deviated from the position of Lord Rex. At the same time, the bottom plate of the carriage cracked left and right, and Fei Lun reached out and grabbed the assassin's thin sword, lifting the assassin up, and the sword qi on the thin sword was directly pinched and dispersed by Fei Lun.
More than a dozen spells hit the assassin at the same time, as well as a boomerang. The assassin's body suddenly had several more holes in his body, and none of these shocking wounds were bleeding. Sika's boomerang spun around the Assassin's neck and flew back into Shika's hand.
The floor of the carriage remerged, and as soon as Feron let go, the body of the Assassin lay to the ground, dead in a very thorough manner.
The mist outside the car cleared, and everyone was a little embarrassed. Saleen didn't make a move, and with Faeron here, he didn't need their help at all. Fei Lun actually held the thin sword with his hand, and naturally he was not afraid that the assassin would have any ability to fight back.
Lord Rex snorted and said, "What a good living mouth, let you perish." Hey......"
The mages' faces were flushed, their usual training, they only thought about how to kill and injure the enemy, the combat coordination was still good, and they were quick enough to shoot, and almost all of them cast two instantaneous magics. The problem is, as Lord Rex said, this man died so thoroughly that it was impossible to ask anything.
"It's not an internal annihilation, the assassin doesn't know about your promotion, and he doesn't know ......"
"Well, although we didn't stop in the city all the way, we walked in a straight line, and it didn't matter if someone could guess the time we got here. The Assassin had been lurking for less than half a day, and Mokolari was to blame. It is better to do this, lord of the county, lest he take the death of those soldiers to the House of Commons. Feren held the sword in his hand and looked at it as he spoke to Lord Rex.
"It's just that I'm going to sleep in the countryside again. Lord Rex looked at the corpse in the carriage in disgust, his feet shrinking back.
"County Lord, it's better to just rely on Mokolari's head and ...... directly"
"Juan, I don't have the time. Lord Rex closed his eyes, leaned back on the cushion, and said nothing. Juan was a little embarrassed, and there was still some calculation in his heart.
"This place is too far away from Bitterwater County, and even if you kill Mokolari, it won't be the turn of the county lord to manage it. A male mage next to Juan said, stabbing Juan with his hand, suggesting that he should stop talking. Juan realized and scratched his head.
