Chapter 50: The Tunnel
Imperial capital, Yinshi.
At this time, the night was getting deeper and deeper, the jade wheel was covered by the thick dark clouds in the sky, the darkness flooded the outer city like a thick fog, and only the four walls of the city would burst out one after another, which was the only faint light left in the night.
But the faint light often lasted for a few moments, and then was trampled into a puddle of blood-colored mud by a cavalry with iron hooves, and then, as the fireworks subsided, the cavalry left with a bloody body, leaving behind only the corpses that were quickly buried by the darkness.
"Stop!"
The cavalry stopped under Xu Yue's order, the war horse stopped, the knight was solemn, only in an instant, the entire cavalry team changed from a state of extreme running to a statue-like silence, in the dark street, only the wisps of sparks erupted from the mouth and nose of the war horse, exuding a faint light, reflecting on the cold iron armor full of scratches and cracks, bringing out a touch of bright red.
At this time, Xu Yue and the others had already crushed around the outer city wall for two full circles, killing the originally noisy imperial capital back into a dead silence, as if the entire emperor could hear the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.
Now the contractors who can still survive in the outer city are only those who have been hiding, as for the arrogant, eager, and self-proclaimed smart ones, they should already be lining up to drink Meng Po soup now, and the more powerful part of them are boxing in the octagonal ring in Xu Yue's mental space.
Xu Yue looked up at the sky, estimating that it would be less than three hours before sunrise, and he had to settle all this before dawn.
"Mandel, divide the knights into three teams, each with one side, search for all awake creatures in the imperial capital, and kill all of them."
-
"Elo, you stay with me, and the two of us will clean up the west side."
After Xu Yue finished explaining, he took out three fire beads and threw them to Mandel, and continued: "This thing is distributed to each team, if you encounter a guy you can't deal with, crush it." ”
"Yes, sir."
The cavalry behind him quickly dispersed, the imperial capital was too big, if it was integrated into a team, I don't know how much time it would take, and if it was divided into four teams, the efficiency would be much improved, anyway, now the number of contractors is almost wiped out, the threat is greatly reduced, and the knights of more than twenty horsemen as a team can completely cope with it.
When the cavalry walked away, Xu Yue turned his head to look at El Luo, who was following closely behind.
"Erro, let's get started, and see how many rats are left in the imperial capital."
"Yes, Torch Chief."
Erro nodded yes, then closed his eyes, and faint white ripples began to spread in all directions around him, as the priests of the Sleeping Temple, they have a unique perception of dreams, they can hypnotize the civilians of the whole city to fall asleep, and naturally they can also detect creatures that have not dreamed within a certain range.
After a few seconds, Ero, who had closed his eyes and perceived, opened his eyes, and the staff in his hand pointed southwest.
"Sir, a kilometer away from here, there are three."
"Let's go."
Four minutes later, a house in the outer city exploded.
The two figures were blown away from the house by the air wave of the explosion, fell to the ground heavily, and after rolling many circles in the street, they got up in embarrassment, wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, and looked at the house in front of them that was crumbling in flames, their eyes full of horror.
"Such a violent explosion, he should have been killed, right?"
"Regardless of whether you are killed or not, run first and then talk about it, you still want to go in and see if there is a scarlet card."
Hearing his companion's question, a man in a black leather coat replied angrily, then rolled over and ran wildly towards the rear, as if he were followed by a flood beast.
There was a hint of greed in the eyes of the contractor who was still sitting on the ground in the back, but after recalling the power of the man in the house who had beaten his teammates to pieces with a single blow, the greed in his eyes was quickly replaced by fear, and after shivering all over his body, he also quickly followed, rolling and crawling towards his companions who had already run away.
"Hey, wait......"
Before the words fell, the shouting voice was torn apart by a scream, and a deadly sense of crisis came from behind the contractor, but before he could react, a large piece of flesh and blood had burst out of his chest, and a Fang Tian painting halberd pierced straight through his chest, and with the flying blood flowers slashed obliquely on the marble slab in front of him.
"Ho...... Ho ho ......"
On the street, the contractor looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, and struggled to say something, but all the strength seemed to flow out of the hole along with the broken internal organs, and he could not spit out half a syllable, but his body fell limp, and his knees fell heavily on the ground, and there was no sound.
In the distance, another contractor who was fleeing heard the movement behind him, turned his head to look, and saw his teammate kneeling and hanging his head in a pool of blood, with a bloodstained Fang Tian painting halberd stuck obliquely in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he quickly increased his speed and ran away like crazy.
"Whew!"
There was an imperceptible sound of breaking the air in his ears, and the contractor who was originally a frightened bird quickly crushed the jade pendant in his hand, and the oval energy shield took shape in an instant, but in front of the red light that flew in, it only blocked the time of breathing and was completely pierced by the red light, and the terrible scream spread, and the man fell to the ground holding his thigh, with a long metal arrow full of flame lines stuck in it.
The intense pain came and went quickly, but after a few breaths, the pain in the man's leg faded and became numb, and he looked at himself in horror as he was steaming, greased, and even could already smell the faint smell of flesh in his thighs, and he found that his thighs seemed to be ...... It's already cooked.
Frightened, he reached out to grab the arrow on his leg, but as soon as his palm touched the arrow, the sound of roasting meat sounded from his hand, and signs of carbonization began to appear around his thighs, and the whole arrow turned into a red-hot iron at the moment of contact, scorching all the flesh and blood that came into contact with it.
Painfully letting go of his hand, the man looked at his lower body, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he turned his hand and took out a short knife and chopped it towards his thigh, the sharp blade cut the musculoskeletal bones, and the broken leg was thrown away, but not even a drop of blood came out, and there was only golden oil oozing from the white cooked meat at the section.
"I surrender, I ......"
After dealing with the severed limbs, the man who knew that he could no longer escape decisively surrendered loudly, and halfway through his words, another red light flashed, this time the arrow penetrated through the mouth, the skull exploded, and the corpse fell to the ground.
After the two died one after another, Xu Yue walked out of the burning house, the golden-red flames burned through the silver skin, but did not leave any traces, and calmly stepped over the kneeling corpse in the center of the street, the purple flames rose, the corpse disappeared quickly, Xu Yue pulled out the halberd on the ground, and after shaking off the flesh and blood stained on the halberd, he looked at a shadow in the corner.
"Elo, go on."
"Yes."
In the shadows, El Luo led the war horse out of the darkness, and was about to close his eyes to perceive, but was stopped by Xu Yue again.
"Wait!"
Stopping El Luo, Xu Yue looked up in the direction of the east side, where a flame bead was touched.
"Let's go, let's go over there for support first."
The two men turned on their horses and hurried away in the direction of the east.
…………
To the east of the border city, in a small courtyard close to the city wall, exploding fires and brilliant holy light exploded one after another in the courtyard.
Now that the walls of the courtyard had been completely destroyed, the knights clad in holy light charged towards the center of the courtyard again and again, but each charge was stopped by a roaring bear and a huge tower shield, and then forced back by heavy artillery fire.
The eyes of the leading knight jumped over the giant bear in front of him, looking at the deep pit in the middle of the courtyard, and his heart became more and more anxious, that thing may be leading to the outer wall, but the defense on the opposite side was too strong, they lacked sufficient ability to attack fortifications, and after several charges, they did not get any effective results, and they were repeatedly repulsed, and the opposite side was not greedy for merit, so they stubbornly guarded the hole.
"I hope the Flame Commander will come in time, otherwise it is really possible to let the other side escape." ’
Thoughts flooded through his mind, and the rhythm of his leading knight's attack was still non-stop.
"Cast!"
More than a dozen silver shadows roared down, but all of them were stopped by a tower shield glowing with golden light, and the short spear stabbed at the tower shield, but it could only make it tremble slightly, and then it was bounced out.
The tall man stood behind the tower shield and looked at the knights in front of him, his tone mocking.
"Haven't you eaten? With this little strength, if you still want to break the defense of my high base, you guys have to go back and practice for a few more years. ”
The mocking words came to his ears, and the leading knight's face was pale, and he was about to burst his strength to the opposite side, when a large wind and waves suddenly roared beside him.
"When!!"
There was an explosion in front of him, and a heavy hammer slammed into the golden tower shield, and the violent sound wave produced pierced the eardrums of everyone present, and the hammer and shield were connected, and the tall man behind the tower shield changed his complexion, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and then was thrown backwards by the tower shield in front of him.
The hammer bounced to the ground, smashing a pit in front of the Knights, silver hands gripping the hilt of the hammer, and a playful tone resounded in the silence of the battlefield.
"Oh, that's it?"
