Chapter 55: Revenge II
"Monster?" Ling Ce's eyes widened, and he looked at the frightened steward and asked: "What monster? There is a demon formation outside Shangqiu City, since the establishment of the Xiaqiu Kingdom, I have never heard of any monsters that can attack Shangqiu City, you can't talk nonsense." ”
The steward's tears were about to come out, and he pointed to the gate with his hands dancing and cursed and swore an oath: "Master, it's true, a guy covered in scales kicked open the gate and killed anyone when he entered the mansion." The brothers in front of you are almost unable to resist, so sir, you and your wife should leave quickly. ”
Seeing that the steward was almost frightened to his knees, Ling Ce slowly frowned.
It's not that he's afraid of how powerful the monster is in the mouth of the steward, although his Ling family relies on nepotism to have today's glory and wealth, but his Ling family is also a martial arts family.
If you want to mix in Xiaqiu Country, a place that advocates force, you can't just rely on a strong back-view, but you also need to have enough force to deter others as the cornerstone of the family, so that you can really gain a firm foothold in Xiaqiu Country.
My Ling family has been based in Shangqiu City for more than 800 years, and even if the demon clan attacked the city gate, my Ling family has not frowned once. The woman did the thing that ran away before she saw the enemy. My hand is carrying a knife that cuts off people's heads. ”
Ling Ce turned his head violently and yelled at Ling Hua coldly: "Gather all the mercenaries in our family and follow me to the front door to see what kind of monster is so bold as to dare to break into our Ling family." ”
"Yes, General!" Ling Hua bowed, he called Ling Ce a general instead of calling his father, a title he only had when he was about to go out to kill the enemy.
Ling Ce put on his armor again, he knew that his housekeeper was also a person who had seen the world, and if he could be a housekeeper in a wealthy family like the Ling family, he would naturally not be frightened by ordinary things. If you can scare the butler like this, it must be that the monster that appears is beyond the limit of what the butler can bear.
Walking past Li Huai, Ling Ce suddenly stopped. This son-in-law, who had always been disgusted by him in the past, suddenly had a much taller image in his heart today, and Ling Ce felt a lot more kind looking at his villainous face.
He smiled at Li Huai: "Go, the sons of the Ling family can't cower at the critical moment." Come with me to the front and see who is so bold and daring to make trouble at home. ”
Li Huai seemed to be blown by the spring breeze all over his body, and there seemed to be someone in his mind who kept shouting at him, your good luck is coming, your good luck is coming, and he can't find the north at all.
When did the head of the family and father-in-law care so much about him, and he spoke warmly. In the past, he was thrown aside as a burden, and he was never treated well in the family. But today, Ling Ce actually asked him to follow him, which is a signal that he is about to soar.
Li Huai was moved to tears, and he was even fantasizing that Ling Ce had tailored a future for him. How many beauties and treasures are beckoning to him, and everyone must respectfully call Master Li when they see him.
Li Huai followed behind Ling Ce, and for a while he looked at the world, and even Ling Hua didn't pay attention to him. He cut off the head of the leopard, and he deserved it. Maybe Sima Hui will reuse him in the future, Li Huai couldn't even close the corners of his mouth with a smile.
The Ling family has been in Shangqiu City for more than 800 years, and has long formed a huge scale. Lingfu occupies an extremely wide area, from the backyard to the front hall, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk.
But Ling Ce heard a terrifying roar from a distance, mixed with despair and poignant. There were constantly frightened families and mercenaries running by, as if they had seen the end of the world, as if countless ghosts had descended on the Ling family on this majestic rainy night.
The rain slammed down on the armor, and Ling Ce pulled out his knife violently. The sword light pierced the night, and a dozen heads with the frightened faces of their masters returned to darkness after that flash of light.
The fleeing crowd finally stopped, and the rain fell on them, and they trembled and looked back from time to time, their legs shaking like chaff. But in the face of the majestic head of the family, they still stopped fleeing like defeated soldiers.
Ling Ce's expression was hideous, and he yelled angrily: "Give me all back, what the hell scared you like this?" The sons of the Ling family can only die on the battlefield, and they must not leave their backs to the enemy, it is simply a shame." ”
"The Ling family has never had such a humiliating thing happen, it has not happened before, and it will never happen in the future. The bloody long knife drew a bright arc in the dark night, and Ling Ce angrily pointed at the dozen or so headless corpses that fell to the ground: "If there are any more people who retreat from the battle, these people will be the end." ”
This was tantamount to giving the final death order, and the mercenaries and family members of the Ling family looked left and right, and they all saw despair in each other's eyes. Going back is death, running away is death, they are really at a loss.
The rain was still falling, and the terrifying roar was getting closer. The escape from the terrifying battlefield made the domestic mercenaries tremble even more, and looking at the momentum of these people, there is a great sense of running away even if they disobey the orders of the family master.
Ling Ce's cheeks twitched, he thought that after his order was given, the people under his command would rush back desperately to continue fighting. What kind of monster is it, so that the mercenaries under his hands have a faint urge to rebel in their eyes.
At this moment, the sound of a large group of soldiers running towards this place suddenly sounded behind him. Heavy footsteps tread in the rain, with a majestic muffled sound. The sound of steel armor grinding came and went, and there was a deep and powerful roar of soldiers in the dark night.
Ling Ce turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Ling Hua who came with a large group of mercenaries. Tonight was an unquiet night, and Ling Ce had transferred 2,000 men from the troops outside the city into the city early.
Some of them went to besiege the Hu Mansion with the Sima family, and the rest were all in the Ling Mansion. A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Ce's mouth, it seemed that his plan was now coming in handy.
He turned his head, looked coldly at the mercenaries who wanted to escape, and brandished the big knife again: "I don't want to repeat my order a second time, if there are still people who are obsessed, then they will all be executed on the spot." ”
The mercenaries looked at each other, and they finally gave up their resolve to resist. and the large number of new forces brought by Linghua to fight, it is simply looking for death. They looked up to the sky and sighed, turned back in anger, and ran towards the battlefield that could have cost everyone's lives.
"General, fifteen hundred in all. Three hundred crossbowmen and one thousand two infantry, do you want to surround that monster?". Ling Hua was full of murderous energy, and Li Huai, who was hiding behind Ling Ce, suddenly felt that he had never really known Ling Hua before.
He originally thought that Ling Hua was a son of a family, and he usually didn't know anything but eat, drink and have fun. But now at this moment, he completely realized that Ling Hua was definitely a ruthless general who could rush to the battlefield at any time. Compared with himself and Ling Hua, one is heaven and the other is earth, maybe it is even worse.
He secretly planned in his heart that he must be honest in the future, this person is the head of the Ling family in the future. You must be careful in the future, otherwise you will be slaughtered one day in the future and you don't know what happened.
"Surround that monster and kill it!" Ling Ce waved his hand fiercely.
He had already lost face many times tonight, and he was already embarrassed enough in Sima Mansion, but he didn't expect that when he returned home, he was almost mutined by a monster that suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, Ling Hua arrived in time with people, if his subordinates really want to mutiny today, then in the future, his Ling family will be an unprecedented laughing stock in the history of Xiaqiu Kingdom.
Ling Ce already hated the monster that suddenly appeared in his heart, daring to trespass on his mansion, and almost leaving him to stink for 10,000 years. He's going to skin that monster and cramp it, chop it up and feed it to the dogs.
Boom! The white lightning streaked across the sky, and Ling Ce just wanted to take his mercenaries to strangle the monsters, but suddenly countless corpses fell from the sky.
The corpses fell to the ground with a thud, almost all broken. It was as if torn apart by cruel beasts, and even hard armor could not protect these mercenaries.
Ling Ce suddenly felt his cheeks hot, and touched his cheeks lightly with his hand, and the hot blood mixed with the rain split his head and covered his face. The sky was like a rain of blood, and no matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't dispel the heavy smell of blood in the air.
"There, there, that monster there!" Suddenly, one of the mercenaries yelled in horror. Ling Ce raised his head violently, and a bolt of lightning swept across the sky at this time, illuminating the figure on the roof in front of him.
It was no longer a figure, and under the white lightning, he was covered in cyan scales. The glauish face was covered with two large bony protrusions, like two sharp horns. His limbs were bent to varying degrees, and he looked more like a snake with long limbs.
It's just that the corners of his mouth are clearly with a vicious smile, and the claws of human hands tear a corpse fiercely, and immediately the internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground, and it was quickly washed away by the heavy rain.
"That's him, it's this monster. The mercenaries who had fled sat on the ground in fright, as if they had seen ghosts.
These people are all mercenaries who have rushed to the battlefield countless times, and they have never seen such a tragic battlefield. But now they are so frightened by this humanoid monster that they have no combat power, and you can imagine how shocking this monster's every move is.
Ling Ce was the first to come back to his senses from the shock, and he suddenly understood that he absolutely had to be calm at this moment. If even he loses his mind, then the entire Lingfu will really be finished.
"Shoot the arrows, give me the arrows, shoot this monster. Ling Ce waved the big knife, and Ling Hua behind him also reacted at this time.
The three hundred crossbowmen knelt on the ground in unison, and the crossbow in their hands contained four directions: up, down, left, right, and left, even if the monster wanted to escape, it couldn't escape the doom of being shot through the body by the crossbow arrows.
Although the mercenaries of the Ling family are not very famous in Xiaqiu Country, they are all good at one and ten. At this time, they were even more frightened by fear, and everyone wished that an arrow could shoot the cruel monster to death.
"Today, you all have to die!" The man standing in the lightning said the last sentence resolutely against the crossbow arrows in the sky, and the next moment, his body was covered by all the crossbow arrows!
