Chapter Forty-Eight: Rushing Out of the Imperial Capital
Blood gushed out, and the entire battlefield was silent for a moment.
The melee contractors who had already rushed to the front row turned around and glanced behind them, their expressions glazed and their pupils trembled slightly.
I saw that in a pool of blood, there was a silver figure standing holding Fang Tian's halberd, surrounded by a few people who had survived in the distance, and their previous position was lucky not to be within the coverage of the halberd.
Although Gou survived, they were also shocked by Xu Yue's brutal blow just now, and now they were crawling in the direction away from the killing god in the middle.
The melee fighters in the front row were stunned, but the knights of the Knights of the Guards were not stunned, and now that the enemy's rear had been broken by Xu Yue, the long-range attack disappeared, and Mandel decisively ordered the defensive shield to be lifted.
More than a dozen priests thrust down the short-handled staff held high in their hands, and the defensive shield in front of them disappeared, and instead appeared an isolation shield used to trap the enemy, and the white light shield expanded rapidly around the entire knight order, and after just a few breaths, it expanded to a range of hundreds of meters, including everyone present.
After the Barrier appeared, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves echoed in the rear of the Knights, and the two cavalry teams rushed out of the cracks in the metal walls behind them, charging at the melee contractors in the front row in a flanking position.
The situation on the battlefield quickly reversed in more than ten seconds, and after the long-range contractor was almost wiped out by Xu Yue, the melee contractor was also on the verge of despair at this moment.
A few minutes later, the battle in the isolation shield came to an end, Xu Yue stood in the center of the battlefield, shaking off the blood stained on Fang Tian's painting halberd, and as far as the eye could see, the land in front of the metal fortress was already covered with corpses, and the members of the knights were walking around, checking if anyone was not dead, and the snort of spears piercing into flesh sounded from time to time.
This group of contractors who wanted to become fishermen, when facing Xu Yue and many cavalrymen who suddenly appeared, had changed from fishermen to fish and shrimp who took the initiative to enter the urn, and they died quite simply.
With the advantage of high-end combat power and the comparison of numbers, the battle ended quickly, and the Knights wiped out the opposing dough without even suffering many casualties.
"Lord Flame, it's all cleaned up, and no one escapes."
Mandel approached from the side and respectfully reported the battle situation to Xu Yue, and after many battles side by side, he was now completely satisfied with Xu Yue.
"Okay, let's get the team together, it's more than half past tonight, and we're going to speed up the progress."
"Yes!"
After a while, the knights of nearly 100 people were lined up, Xu Yue was at the forefront on a war horse, and the position of the left and right hands was Mandel and El Luo, and now the entire knight order was shrouded in a strong smell of blood, among which Xu Yue, the leader of the team, was the most exaggerated.
Just as he was about to give the order to leave, a cold female voice suddenly came from mid-air.
"The imperial capital is closed, the Knights of the Guards want to slaughter all outsiders, and those who don't want to die should quickly rush out of the Divine Heaven!!"
Xu Yue raised his eyes and saw a handsome-looking falcon hovering over the Knights, and if he looked closely, he could clearly see that the falcon's talons were holding a small black box, and the shouting just now came from here, and it was repeated over and over again.
After listening to the shouts from above, Mandel's face changed, and he drew the short spear hanging on his horse and was about to shoot down the falcon in mid-air, but before the short spear could shoot, an arm reached out next to him to stop his spear throwing.
"Captain of the Flame?" Holding back the anxiety in his heart, Mandel looked at Xu Yue in front of him suspiciously.
"Rest easy." Compared with Mandel's eagerness, Xu Yue seemed much lighter, he calmly looked at the falcon that was gradually flying away in the air, and then looked carefully at the other directions of the imperial capital, sure enough, in addition to this falcon, there were at least four or five more birds above the entire outer city, all holding a small box, and were broadcasting this passage to the whole city.
"There is more than one that can't be killed, and this is not necessarily a bad thing, it is difficult to find a mouse that hides and does not move, but as long as the mouse can escape on its own, it will be much easier to solve."
After listening to Xu Yue's words, Mandel also reacted quickly, and the puzzle on his face changed, if he wanted to clean up the entire outer city, there were two difficulties.
The first is the collective counterattack of the contractors, they are not lambs to the slaughter, but after half a night of slaughter by the Knights, the threat of this has been greatly reduced.
The second is that it is difficult to find the contractors after they are scattered and hiding, and the outer city is very large, even with the help of the priests' detection spells, it is not easy to find all the hidden contractors.
If a large number of contractors played peek-a-boo and guerrilla warfare with them, it would only make Xu Yue and the knights exhausted.
Now that the contractors of the whole city are gathered at the outer wall through this broadcast, it is not necessarily a bad thing, anyway, after the explosion just now, most of the contractors also realized that something was wrong, and there is not much possibility of easily blocking them in the stronghold after that.
As for the question of whether the contractors could really break out of the outer city after gathering, Xu Yue, Mandel and the others said that they were not worried, this was a sacred paradise, and now it was Cook who was in charge of guarding the outer city, and the hundreds of knights he led, in terms of hard power, it was far stronger than their team of less than 100 people.
After listening to the sound of the radio spreading, the outer city around him began to become more and more lively, and Xu Yue's eyes became colder and colder.
"It's not lively enough, in that case, I'll give you another hand."
With that, he looked at Elo, who had changed into a priest's robe at his side.
"Elro, can you spread my word throughout the outer city?"
"Amplification, little trick."
Arrow nodded, and then approached Xu Yue with the tip of the staff glowing with blue light, and the next moment, Xu Yuesen's cold announcement resounded through the outer city.
"All outsiders, those who are tied up, can live, and those who resist will be killed immediately!"
The voice spread all over the city, and the contractors who were suspicious of the previous broadcast suddenly raised their heads, and now they were completely out of luck, and one after another figures rushed out from all over the outer city, galloping towards the four city walls, and the entire imperial capital was completely boiling.
"What do we do now, Sir?"
Xu Yue took his gaze away from the birds that fell from the sky one by one, and moved to the metal barrier behind him.
"Wait, let's go back and rest for a while, and when the rats are almost gone, we'll plow along the four walls."
"Yes!"
After that, Mandel led the troops back to the metal barrier to rest, and fought for half the night, even if the members of the Knights were all professionals, there would still be fatigue and exhaustion.
Xu Yue jumped onto the high wall again, standing on a high place and looking at the black shadows flickering on the street towards the four city walls, and his body was surging with evil energy.
…………
As time passed, more and more contractors began to gather on the four walls of the outer city of the imperial capital, among which the western wall had the largest number of people.
This is the location of the monster invasion during the day, the blown up city wall has not been repaired so far, the imperial capital's city wall defense system contains complex inscription burning, the earth and stone city wall is easy to build, but the inscription burning and connection is extremely troublesome.
As such, it was the weakest part of the outer city walls, and relatively the most heavily defended place for the Knights of the Guards, and Cook even guarded it himself.
Now, the environment at this section of the city wall is becoming more and more tense, and after just experiencing the invasion of monsters, this place will face the second round of battles - the big breakthrough of the contractors.
In front of the crack in the city wall, Cook looked at the pair of scarlet eyes with malice in front of him, and his voice became more and more cold.
"One last warning, mercenaries, leave! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. ”
