Chapter 200: Riding Alone (Part II)
The Clark Palace was already in chaos, full of sky-high fires, and everywhere there were soldiers burning, looting, raping and plundering.
Angel bit her lip and looked at all this, she knew that these were inseparable from her, she wanted to save those maids who were violently screamed by the rebels, but she was now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it was difficult to protect herself, if it weren't for Tang Jie, her fate would not be much better than those maids.
Killing from Kirk's study, there were indeed many eyeless soldiers along the way to stop him, but where were these soldiers Tang Jie's opponents, the double knives in Tang Jie's hands were like a huge grinding plate, constantly rotating, and anyone who hit the light of his knife would immediately be crushed into pieces of powder, and flesh and blood would fly!
Killing until he was approaching the inner walls of the palace, Tang Jie finally encountered a group of regular troops, which were a group of Fernandez troops who quickly rushed to Clarke's palace to arrest Kirk's invitation.
When the soldiers in silver light armor and armed with long swords and long shields saw Tang Jie and the woman on his back, an officer immediately shouted and asked, "Stop! Who are you?"
What answered him was Tang Jie's blood-red eyes that arrived in the blink of an eye and the red-hot double knives in his hands.
Where did these soldiers think that this person was still ten meters away when he asked just now, and as soon as the words fell, he rushed to his eyes like thunder, and the double swords in his hands were raised high, like thunder and lightning slashed down!
The officer who was the first to ride on a tall horse bore the brunt, and was nailed to death on the horseback by Tang Jie's hand-free knife, his body shook, and before he could fall, Tang Jie kicked the officer off the horse, and sat on his back with Angel on his back.
As soon as Tang Jie got on the horse, the war horse immediately stood up in shock, kicking his hooves in the air, if it weren't for Tang Jie's legs clamping the horse's belly and his hands pulling the reins tightly, he would have almost been thrown off.
Angel behind him was even more frightened into a cold sweat, just now, Angel felt as if she was about to fall from the top of the cliff, her body suddenly sank down, and her hands and feet let go of Tang Jie's body, fortunately, Tang Jie's cloth was tied tightly enough, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After Tang Jie killed the officer in an instant and captured the war horse, the other soldiers reacted, some quickly turned around and ran backwards to ventilate the news, and some roared and rushed towards Tang Jie.
Warriors with war horses and without war horses are two completely different combat effectiveness, there is a war horse condescending, others can only cut his legs when he stands, even if he goes to cut off the horse's feet, it is equivalent to an extra layer of protection, without a war horse, others cut it from a high place, the momentum is heavy, and it is extremely difficult to resist.
Tang Jie raised the knife in his hand, and took a life with a knife, some soldiers were cut off by his weapons and arms, kneeling on the ground and covering the broken arm and wailing, the sound was terrifying, and some soldiers were slashed by Tang Jie from the shoulder to the waist and hips, most of the body was split, and blood and internal organs flowed out.
Tang Jie slashed to death three soldiers who stepped forward with three knives, and the other soldiers didn't dare to trouble him directly, some soldiers went around the back to find the horses to start, but they didn't pay attention Tang Jie stabbed the horse's buttocks with the tip of the knife, and suddenly the horses rushed forward quickly, leaving them behind.
"Where are we going?" Angel asked loudly as she hugged Tang Jie tightly, and beside her, there was the sound of whirring fires, women's screams, and men's wild laughter.
Tang Jie turned his head and said loudly: "I don't know, do you have any good ideas?"
It happened suddenly, Tang Jie really didn't have a good plan to escape, Angel's mind was like a lightning flash, these days she looked at the military map of Garcia every day, and knew the distribution of troops in the city well, she thought about it and said: "Go to the east gate! The south gate is now full of Fernandez's soldiers, the west gate is a parish, the north gate has iron-blooded guards, and only the east gate is relatively lax!"
Tang Jie nodded, and then asked loudly, "Where are Christina?"
Angel pointed in the direction of the other side of the palace: "Over there, I don't know how they are now!
Tang Jie said loudly: "Of course, one more person means more strength!"
Angel nodded: "Okay, I know the road!"
Tang Jie's legs clamped the horse's belly, and suddenly the war horse galloped away in the direction pointed by Angel.
Along the way, Tang Jie blocked the killing, the Buddha blocked the **, all the way to the original Angel residence mansion, the building was already empty, Tang Jie sat on the horse, and shouted loudly: "Christina, where are you?"
Tang Jie's voice was empty, but there was no response, and there were several corpses on the ground not far in front of him, which made Tang Jie very ominous: "Nothing will happen to them, right?"
Angel was unusually calm at this time: "No, they must have gone to find me." ”
"Looking for you?" Tang Jie looked back in surprise, "They know where you are?"
Angel sighed and said, "In the previous duel between Kirk and Fernandez, if they rushed out to find me, they would have ended up miserable, because at that time, there was a clear distinction between the enemy and us, and once they met the enemy, they were easily rushed to nothing. ”
"But now......" Angel's slender eyelashes trembled, and her blue eyes looked fixedly at the blazing Garcia, "now the whole of Garcia is in chaos, and no one can tell who is the enemy or not. In such a chaotic situation, their chances of survival are even greater!"
After hearing this, Tang Jie immediately turned the horse's head, Angel grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
Tang Jie said: "Of course, the palace is looking for Christina!"
Angel exclaimed: "Are you crazy? There must have been a large number of rebels there now, you are looking for death now, both of us will die!"
Tang Jie said angrily: "Then leave them alone?"
Angel also said loudly: "Christina has followed me since she was a child, believe me, this woman is much smarter and more cunning than you think! She will definitely be able to protect herself! Now we must rush out of the imperial capital before the rebels completely control Garcia, otherwise, when the situation calms down, it will be difficult to leave!"
Tang Jie no longer insisted on his opinion, he thought for a while, and then turned his horse's head and ran towards a place.
"Where is this going?" asked Angel in surprise when he saw that he was not running in the direction of the East Gate.
Tang Jie didn't look back, and said, "Gladiatorial arena!"
Angel was confused: "What are you going to do there?"
Tang Jie said: "There should be imprisoned gladiators there now, and if these people are released, it will definitely help us." ”
Angel nodded and said no more.
At this time, the underground prison in the gladiatorial arena of the imperial capital was already a nightmarish hellish scene.
The gladiators in the cage were clamoring wildly, some of them frantically pulling and smashing the hard steel cage, and some of them strangled a guard who was unfortunately caught, and after strangling the guard to death, they hurriedly dragged the soldier into the cage, then took off his clothes, drenched them with urine, and then made a simple winch with the spear in his hand.
Under the vigorous twisting of the gladiators, the hard iron cage was opened with a large opening, and a gladiator drilled out of the middle, which immediately aroused the loud cheers of all the gladiators.
Then a second gladiator came out, fending off the guards who pounced on them, and quickly opened the cages of the others.
More and more gladiators were released, and soon the underground prison was filled with swords and swords, and the roar of the gladiators shook the torches on the walls.
Just when the guards were killed and retreated, suddenly a group of soldiers wearing exquisite armor and holding Xueliang scimitars poured in from the door, and these soldiers poured in and stood in place like sculptures.
The gladiators quickly fell silent, some of them wiping their blood-stained swords from their hands as they watched the soldiers warily, and some let go of their hands tightening around their necks and stood up from them.
There were about fifty of these soldiers, which was not a large number, but their neat formation gave these gladiators a strong oppressive force.
Immediately afterwards, an officer stepped out of the group of soldiers, and he exclaimed: "Now that you have been requisitioned by the great Emperor Kirk, he will grant you free life and money and women, as long as you are willing to serve him!"
As he spoke, he took out a bag full of gold coins and said in a loud voice, "Who was the first to pledge allegiance?"
The gladiators were silent, and someone shouted: "Isn't the Emperor Kriza XVI?"
Kirk stood up at this time, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were slightly panicked, but he still had a royal demeanor that ordinary people could not reach: "Now is Kriza XVII! Follow me, I will take you to my territory, as long as you are willing to be loyal to me, then you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
The officer next to Kirk poked his hand into the gold bag at the right time, grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them into the sky: "These are yours!"
The glittering gold coin was more convincing than Kirk's empty promises.
Immediately, a gladiator stood up and said, "I'll join!"
"I'm joining too!" the gladiators responded, they were precarious gladiators one minute, and the next second they could be free and rich, why not?
Crudia huddled in the crowd, he approached the man-wolf Morgan, and whispered, "Are we really going to owe allegiance to this guy?"
Morgan, the human wolf, made a "whew" sound in his throat, he bared his teeth and looked at Krudia with a hideous expression: "You, dirty and lowly human, like your so-called emperor, get out of here! No human can command the great orcs!"
Krudia was accustomed to Morgan's behavior, and he pursed his lips and stepped back a little: "Okay, well, great Lord Morgan, but don't you know that people have a better hope of survival when they come together? Kirk has come here to requisition us himself, what does that mean? You know what?"
Morgan's eyes showed a trace of disdain and awe-inspiring: "This shows that your human world has fallen into infighting again, hum...... You aggressive race!"
Krudia sighed: "Okay, whatever you want, but I'll still say the same thing, we all have to get together to have any hope of survival, even if we encounter a large-scale legion, there is a little more chance of rushing out, right?"
The corners of Morgan's mouth twitched, revealing bright red teeth: "This is the only nonsense you say in a pile of nonsense that is not nonsense." ”
Krudiaha smiled, "I'm glad you're still in the mood to say tongue twisters, Lord Morgan!"
The gladiators were quickly armed, and their number was about two hundred, and in the chaos of the imperial capital of Garcia, these people, together with their own guards, were already a large force, and it was enough to use themselves to protect themselves from the chaos.
Kirk was a little more settled at this point, but as the group rushed out of the arena, he suddenly saw a man, the last person he wanted to see.
The man rode on a tall horse, carrying a spear wrapped in cloth on his back, a blood-dripping knife in one hand, and a reins in the other.
Tang Jie, why is he here? Angel, why is she with him?
Kirk had all the old and new hatreds coming to his head at this time, if it wasn't for this black-haired pirate, how could he have ended up like this?
"Angel, come to me, I'll take you away!" Kirk couldn't help but say loudly as he looked at the beautiful face that poked out behind Tang Jie.
She's his, she's his fiancée, why do you have to be with this pirate?
But the answer to Kirk was a cold and mocking sentence: "Dear Highness Kirk, if you could have said this earlier, I think I would be even more grateful, now...... I'm sorry, follow you, I'm afraid I'll die faster!"
What the?
She actually rejected me! rejected me in front of so many people?!
Kirk burst into a rage: "I'm still the emperor of the empire!
Angel laughed, "Emperor of the Empire, who admits it, your dear brother, you should discuss with him before you say this!"
Kirk was so humiliated by Angel that he lost his mind, his face was distorted, and his eyes were full of angry flames: "Kill that guy, kill that pirate, bring Angel to me, I want her to see my success with her own eyes in the future, I want her to live in pain and regret forever in the future!"
The officer next to him was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "My Majesty, isn't it too suitable to trouble this guy now......?"
He wanted to say that after all, he was the one who had defeated the Sword Master.
Kirk suddenly turned his head and roared, "Are you going to disobey the order too!!"
The officer stopped talking, sighed secretly in his heart, he raised his hand, and said to the gladiators who had just been recruited behind him: "Warriors, as long as you kill this man, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins!!"
A thousand gold coins, which is an absolutely astronomical amount in the eyes of these gladiators.
But no amount of money can ever be compared to one's own life.
Who is this man on a horse in front of you?
Other soldiers may not know him, but these gladiators, which of them doesn't know this man?
This is the man who destroyed the phalanx of four integrated soldiers in the gladiatorial arena with the power of one person!
This is the man in the gladiatorial arena, who shot a thousand-pound carriage with one shot!
This is the man who punched the monster Bawen in the gladiatorial arena, confronted the giants, and then fought to win!
This is the man who defeated the invincible Sword Master with two swords in his hand!!
Such a man who has become a bottomless myth in the hearts of gladiators, where do they dare to step forward to provoke and fight?
For a while, the scene was extremely quiet, Tang Jie sat proudly on the horse, staring at these gladiators coldly, and although these gladiators had an absolute advantage in numbers, but under Tang Jie's gaze, none of them dared to take a step forward!
They were silent, their eyes constantly probing each other, as if asking what to do?
Only Kirk jumped up and down like a madman and yelled: "What are you afraid of? This guy is also a human being, and he will die! As long as you kill him, I will make you a viscount, a baron, an earl, a marquis!"
Before Kirk could finish speaking, he saw a figure emerge from among the gladiators, and this person was none other than Morgan.
Morgan's two green eyes stared at Tang Jie without saying a word.
When Kirk finally saw someone respond to his words, he was immediately ecstatic, and said loudly: "You, you orc, as long as you are willing to kill him, I will make you the first orc nobleman in the human world!
Morgan didn't seem to hear him, his eyes just stared at Tang Jie, and after a while, he said slowly, "Do you know where to escape from this ghost place?"
Tang Jie turned up the corners of his mouth at this time, and said with a slight smile: "Nonsense, isn't this here to run away with you?
Morgan smacked his mouth and said, "As much as I hate humans, you're not bad." Okay, count me in!"
Immediately after that, a fat man was squeezed out of Morgan's side, and a smile was piled up on his face full of fat, it was Crudia: "Count me in too!"
Morgan immediately turned his head and glared at him, "Get away, filthy human!"
Krudia suddenly smiled and left him like a ball of meat.
"Count me in!" The gladiators who had fought side by side with Tang Jie suddenly stood up one after another.
There was an uproar in the gladiator camp, and the remaining gladiators exchanged heads, and more and more gladiators stood up, and the calm pirate on the tall horse was obviously a better choice than the so-called Kriza XVII, who had lost his mind.
They are the purest warriors, and the stronger warriors are more likely to earn their allegiance.
Kirk was stunned, he looked at these gladiators who had been collectively rebelled against the past by Tang Jie in a single word, he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
"You, you ......" Kirk's mind was blank, he didn't understand, why did these people put money and status, powerful women don't want it, let him, the emperor, not follow, but follow the pirate?
The officers and soldiers around the emperor didn't even dare to stop these gladiators, they were afraid that these gladiators would fight back and destroy them all!
But they didn't, and these people are now only looking at Tang Jie's horse.
Tang Jie rode on his horse and looked at Kirk coldly, and he suddenly remembered what this guy said when he forced himself to express his position on the balcony of the banquet.
It's really this time, that time......
Tang Jie raised his head and laughed, then turned the horse's head and waved the long knife in his hand: "Go!!"
Man like a tiger, a horse like a dragon, Tang Jie and these brave gladiators quickly disappeared into the shadows, leaving Kirk and his men standing alone, like a group of lonely stone sculptures......
