Night.

Under the cool moonlight, the night in the imperial capital today is exceptionally quiet, and the silence makes people feel a little hairy.

"Da Da Da ......"

It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves crashing down the street that the stagnant silence was broken.

"Stop."

With the order, the cavalry stopped in front of a building, which was quite a courtyard.

Then the four priests walked out of the queue, and they thrust their staffs into the ground, and a pale blue magic shroud began to expand around the staff, until the entire building was enveloped, isolating the inside and outside.

At the moment when the magic array was formed, the contractor in the building also reacted quickly, and a strong killing force was rising from the outside.

"It's not right, withdraw!"

A loud shout sounded from the courtyard, and then the gate of the courtyard disintegrated into countless pieces of wood slag, and a man in heavy armor rushed out first, but as soon as he went out of the door, a Fang Tian painting halberd carried a fierce wind pressure pouring in.

"Dang!"

The loud sound was like a bell, and the heavy armor was torn apart under the halberd, and the man flew back upside down at a speed far beyond the previous rush, leaving only a large area of dark red blood along the way.

In the small courtyard, the rest of the companions watched as the meatiest tank in the team was knocked back again just a second after rushing out of the gate, and with just one blow, the protective gear was shattered, and his life was in danger.

When the man landed, another mouthful of blood spurted out from the sky, which also woke up some stunned companions next to him.

"Healing, quick!"

The contractor with the sword was the first to react, shouting at the only healer in the group, but before he could finish speaking, a silver shadow flashed in front of him.

The silver shadow fell to the ground, exploding a scarlet blood flower on the ground, and a bright silver spear was added to the small courtyard, and the tank's head was shattered into a mess of flesh.

"Damn it!"

The longsword contractor turned his head to look out of the door, and through the broken door, he clearly saw a group of cavalry densely lined up outside the courtyard, led by a tall knight wearing a black sword and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd.

At the first glance of the cavalry, he knew that it was over, and with their patchwork of temporary adventure groups, they were no match for the opposite cavalry.

Especially the leading knight, just looking at the knight from afar, he felt chills all over his body, he definitely couldn't resist any of the halberds.

"Surrender, we are willing to hand over our equipment and Paradise Coin to buy our lives."

The Sword Contractor decisively dropped his weapon and yelled at his nearby companions.

"You can't beat it, don't struggle, save your life."

Xu Yue, who was outside the door, looked coldly at the farce in the courtyard in front of him, even if half of the people on the other side began to hesitate to put down their weapons, there was still no fluctuation on his face, he was not here to take money, but to kill him.

"Cast!"

The faint sound of orders was like a biting cold wind, blowing through the entire courtyard, followed by a dense whistling sound, and dozens of silver shadows pierced the air, setting off a wail in the courtyard.

"If you fight, if you can't run away, you will be set on fire and kill the commander first."

It was the contractor who had advocated surrender before, and now he had only one arm left, and now a third of the corpses had been lying in the courtyard, and most of the survivors were wounded.

Their eyes were mixed with the madness of the trapped beast dying, staring at Xu Yue in front of them, since there was no chance of survival, then they had to take one away to not be a loss.

"Then let's die together!"

"Lao Tzu will drag his back when he dies!"

In the roar, all kinds of skills and artillery fire took the lead towards Xu Yue, followed by the scarlet-eyed contractors.

The slight stinging pain of the beast's intuition spread all over his body, but Xu Yue still stood still, he was not fighting alone, but encircling and suppressing now.

"Go."

Another order was given, and the priest's staff behind him was raised, and an energy defense shield was then unfolded in front of Xu Yue, blocking all the long-range attacks that attacked, and sparks of different colors bloomed on the defense cover, but it only made it fluctuate slightly.

The defensive shield quickly dissipated after blocking the first wave of attacks, which Xu Yue had deliberately explained before, and he was mainly trying to counteract the control skills in it.

"Kill!"

When the defensive cover appeared, Xu Yue and the cavalry behind him were ready, the war horse under his crotch was ready to move, and the moment it disappeared, in the sound of thunderous horse hooves, the cavalry began to charge.

"Roar!"

The majestic wave of air set off by the battle cry blew away the thick smoke from the explosion ahead, and along with it were the melee contractors who rushed forward to fight Xu Yue for their lives.

Under the repulsive effect of the battle cry, before they could get close to Xu Yue, they were blown away and smashed against the wall of the small courtyard behind them, waiting to raise their heads again.

What caught their eyes was an armored war horse with sparks spraying from its mouth and nose, and the Fang Tian painting halberd with hunting wind pressure on the war horse.

With a roar, the halberd in Xu Yue's hand swung off, and under the extreme strength and tyrannical weapon special effects, all the objects in the three meters in front of him were shattered, along with the wall and several contractors on the wall, all of them were swept away by the halberd.

Wrapped in flesh and blood, the rubble was thrown at the remote contractors in the small courtyard, and as the contractors hurriedly dodged, the fierce cavalry also jumped over the broken wall and slaughtered into the courtyard.

A minute later, the courtyard returned to calm, and in the midst of the boiling fire, Xu Yue picked up the blood-red card on the ground, which was already the sixth one he had gotten in his hand.

[You get a 'Crimson Card', yes/no use.] 】

[Hint: 'Crimson Cards' are obtained after killing the contractor, and after use, they will be randomly drawn.] 】

[Hint: Each 'Crimson Card' has three chances to draw, and items or equipment will be randomly drawn from the storage space or equipment worn by the deceased contractor.] 】

[Hint: The world of Dragon Nest is a semi-peaceful scene, and when the contractor dies, there is a 50% chance to drop the 'Crimson Card'.] 】

Putting away the card, Xu Yue turned over and got on his horse, so far he had cleared three such contractor strongholds, under the influence of the military and the church, the strongholds where these contractors gathered had long been clearly felt, after all, they didn't have many deliberate hidden ideas.

Tonight was still a long time, and he still had many places to clean, and when he drove his horse out of the courtyard, the horse's iron hooves carried up a few sticky strands of flesh in the minced meat on the ground, and they were soon crushed into the mud.

The cavalry outside the courtyard had re-lined up, and Xu Yue walked to the front of the team, and the evil aura on his body became thicker and thicker.

"Next, let's go."

The cavalry was far away, leaving only a dilapidated courtyard in the rear, but under the effect of the isolation cover, there was not much movement.

Looking at the Divine Heaven from above, the entire outer city was encased in a large transparent cover, but it was difficult to observe the presence of the cover in the night.

On the streets of the outer city, three cavalry teams were galloping around, and after Xu Yue diverted Mandel's men, he led most of the cavalry to strangle the places where the contractors gathered in large numbers, and the other two small troops scattered to strangle the lone wanderers.

On the church tower on the east side of the outer city, a bronze bell engraved with runes vibrated softly for a moment, and the faint sound waves covered the entire outer city, and this fluctuation would make the civilians of the outer city spend the long night in a sweet dream.
