Three days later, in the dark night sky, a row of blazing torches suddenly lit on the head of the ruined imperial city, like an aurora in the dark night. The sky was covered with clouds, signaling the imminent arrival of a great war.

The rattlesnake stood at the head of the city, a sly smile on his face. Her smug eyes were looking expectantly into the dark desert in the distance.

"Report, there's a horse approaching ahead." A message came from the lookout, "The people in the lead are still wearing our insignia. ”

"Okay!" Rattlesnake clapped his hands excitedly and laughed, "Is the Black Mamba's army out of the city?" ”

Cyrus replied, "I'm out of town just now." ”

"Very well," rattlesnake commanded, "all of you obey my orders, take off your insignia, and go into ambush at once." When the enemy rushes into the palace avenue, they will be killed together. Remember: Annihilate them all, leave no one alive! ”

Sellers and several other lieutenants shouted obedience and immediately led his men down to prepare.

Under the shelter of the night, the cloudy sky dome hung low, like a huge black canopy, heralding a fierce wind that was coming.

The wind began to rage, with a fierce howl, raging across the desert. Under the spur of the wind, the grains of sand flew in the air, hitting people's faces, and it hurt hotly.

The army of the Red Pavilion is like a long black snake, under the cover of the night, approaching the city wall. The soldiers were silent but determined, their steps in unison, like a well-trained and iron-blooded army. Their armor shimmered in the light of lightning.

The rattlesnake on the rampart smiled smugly, "Haha, it worked. The Red Pavilion Rogue has been deceived by my deception, and is now about to fall into the trap I have prepared! ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly ordered her soldiers to open the city gates.

That ancient city gate, because of the wind and rain for many years, is about to witness this great battle. The soldiers pushed the turntable with great difficulty to the cheers of the military academy, and the huge door creaked and slowly opened.

As soon as the city gate opened, the army of the Red Pavilion poured in like a tide.

The vanguard was silent, only the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the streets, and this solemn atmosphere made the mood tense, and the air was filled with tension and unease.

"Nasian, Eggers, take off your coat of arms." Bud explained to the two in a deep voice.

More than 20 of them, as the vanguard, deliberately wore the coat of arms of her army according to the requirements of the rattlesnake. Now that they have entered the city, according to Buxiao's request, they must immediately kill the city wall and occupy the gate, in case the enemy army cuts off the back road.

While Nacian was still scrambling to undress, Eggers drew his twin knives and swished to cut the coat of arms into pieces: "Can't you men be sharp?" ”

As soon as she began to complain, Maya had already pulled out the scimitar in her hand from behind, "Now is not the time to make trouble, friends, prepare to charge and occupy the castle tower immediately!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Red Pavilion barracks outside the city wall had already issued an earth-shattering military horn. The trumpets sounded in unison, the war drums beat, and a shocking thunderbolt fell from the sky, and the wind swept in, blowing the torches on the city wall like strong grass in the wind, and the soldiers defending the city were frightened and panicked.

Maya swung her scimitar in the wind and shouted, and she had already taken the lead in killing the city wall. Where could the others let her grab the credit first, they all picked up their weapons and launched a fierce charge towards the city tower.

Bard raised his spear and kicked it against the wall with his sturdy body, climbed up to the second floor of a lookout like an agile ape, glanced through the air window, and sneered, "Yo, what about you ambushing inside?" ”

The soldiers in ambush inside were frightened and wanted to rush out to attack, but the wooden door could not be opened. They slammed the door panel, but they didn't expect it to move outside.

"Is there anyone against the door?" They were surprised to lie down on the crack in the door and look at it, only to see Crohn holding a big mallet against the door panel, and smiled innocently, "Why is there such a big movement in this chicken coop, is there some kind of plague?" ”

Nacian took a large handful of straw, bundled it firmly, lit a flame, and threw it to Bud, "The plague is a big deal, and I am most afraid of contagion. It seems that this nest of chickens can't be kept. ”

Bard extinguished the open flame of the straw and shoved the large bundle of smoke into the lookout, and in a moment the smoke billowed inside, and the dozens of soldiers who were ambushed were choked with tears and almost turned their backs.

It was only then that Krohn opened the door. Those ambushed soldiers were so smoked that it was difficult to even stand, let alone fight.

"Surrender, you fools." Nacian kicked over a guy who still wanted to draw his sword, "It's all like this, and you still fart?" ”

Bard jumped down from the second floor, "Strange, what about Eggers?" ”

"Kill people in front." Cron happily pointed ahead, and saw Maya's sword flashing and Eggers dancing with his swords. These two female generals were extremely brave, killing the enemies who were preparing to ambush them.

It was Cyrus who was in charge of guarding the walls, and he had expected that the sergeants of the Red Pavilion would come up amicably and take over the gates peacefully. At that time, he only needs to stabilize these generals, secretly let the soldiers in ambush rush up, and it will be over.

Unexpectedly, the army of the Red Pavilion seemed to have heavenly eyes, and attacked all his ambushes as soon as they came up. He hurriedly shouted: "Stop, we have surrendered, it's friendly forces!" ”

"Who's friendly with you?" Eggers retorted, "Is anyone going to ambush a friendly army?" ”

Maya also shouted coldly, "Don't think that we are so easy to deceive, and you dare to show off your little trick of coaxing children in front of the non-smiling general?" ”

Seeing that Maya and Eggers were menacing, Sellers hurriedly ordered his soldiers to fight with all their might. But are they the opponents of these two?

The Mayan scimitar shimmered with cold light, and the enemy troops in close proximity fell in pieces like mowing grass, and Eggers's twin knives spun at high speed, like a wind and clouds, and the flesh and blood were blurred everywhere after the sword light.

As soon as Cyrus drew his sword, he heard a simple voice sound: "Hey, here comes the hammer!" ”

He turned sharply, and saw a large mallet sweeping like a huge wave. The blow was so powerful that the sword in Cyrus's hand was like a mantis arm blocking the car in front of him, and he couldn't parry it at all.

Boom!

Cyrus's body flew into the air like a bird...... The wall was more than ten meters high, and it fell to the ground and plunged into the sand.

"Yikes!" The Black Mamba exclaimed. Even if you are a general, you will still be surprised if you suddenly fall and die in front of you.

She originally planned to come out to cut off the retreat of the Red Pavilion, but she didn't expect Cyrus to die in front of her. She already had a bad premonition in her heart: the plan to surrender might not be so smooth.

Fortunately, her hunch was quickly confirmed. I only heard the neighing of a chocobo in front of me, and a spear had already been killed in front of me.

"Oh no, it's the 'Princess of Fire' here!" Someone in the army recognized Lydia and shouted in panic.

Lydia led the cavalry team to go around the city gate - no smile thought that Tsukihime would send two groups of men and horses to attack from both sides of the city gate, but he didn't expect that Tsukihime only arranged for the Black Mamba to go all the way, and it came slowly, so that Lydia was easy to find.

This time, Lydia found the Black Mamba's ambush and threw a few bombs for them to taste.

There were several loud bangs in the Black Mamba army, and Lydia's explosives instantly shattered the fighting spirit of those soldiers: "Oh no, it's 'Nine Thunderbolts'!" Run! ”

Run?

How could the infantry escape the pursuit of the cavalry?

Lydia's Iron Cavalry descended like tigers, in hot pursuit, their charge as sharp as razor, mercilessly cutting through the ranks of the Black Mamba. Under the iron hoof, both the enemy and the grass and trees turned into a mess.

Seeing this, the Black Mamba's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled out his double axes from his waist to fight Lydia. "Purple Lightning Twin Thunder Slash!" She let out a loud shout, and purple thunder and lightning suddenly intertwined between the two axes, as if the thunder god had descended into the world.

You must know that this is her famous stunt, and when she fought against Lydia before, she was suppressed by her marksmanship and couldn't use it. Now that it's unfolded, it's really powerful. With a roar of electric lightning, the twin axes lunged at Lydia.

"Is your trick a trick?" Lydia shook her head with a sigh, "It's good that I'm prepared. ”

The spear that Buxiao made for Lydia was made entirely of steel, and the steel was electrically conductive—even someone like Lydia who didn't study very well knew this common sense. But wood is not conductive, so in order to face the Black Mamba, Lydia specially prepared a wooden spear.

The Black Mamba's twin axes slashed through the air in purple arcs, clashing with Lydia's spear with a thunderous sound. But even though her twin axes slashed left and right like a whirlwind, they still didn't hurt Lydia in the slightest.

She couldn't help but feel messy in her heart: "The people in the Red Pavilion are just a bunch of bandits, how can there be such a powerful character." If such strength is in the army of the six kingdoms, it must also be a general-level figure. ”

In fact, the Black Mamba was not wrong at all, Lydia was ranked eighth in the "Temple Crusade" in the Shendu, and not only did she not have to kneel when she met the archbishop in the Shendu, but she could even be rewarded with a seat.

With Lydia's military exploits, she is fully qualified to receive a title such as a general, but she knows that she is from a low background, and if she competes with those nobles for something, she is afraid that she will be on fire.

In the end, she gave up a lot of power, and in the end she just obeyed the arrangement of the priest with the sword, and took on the false position of commanding the army. Of course, there are many benefits to the false position, for example, she has been out of the god capital for five or six years, and no one has ever cared about her.

"Is this the level of the 'God of War' of your 'Wild Sand Empire'?" Lydia asked casually as she parried the Black Mamba's attack.

In fact, Lydia is only relaxed on the surface, and in the face of one of the five war gods of the Wild Sand Empire, she does not dare to slack off in her heart. I saw that her figure was as elegant as the wind, and a spear came out of nowhere, making the black mamba split into the air again and again.

After more than a dozen rounds of fierce fighting, and being so provoked by Lydia, Black Mamba couldn't help but feel a little anxious. But looking back, most of his troops had been lost, and the imperial city had already burst into flames.

She knew she couldn't fight any more, and in a flash of lightning, she suddenly pulled Lydia's spear, and the axes staggered with a deafening thunderclap, and she immediately fled.
