On a lonely high slope, a few crooked trees were sparsely distributed on the hilltop. In the middle of an irregular open space, someone was making a fire. The light of the fire shone on a young face. A young man with a baby face was humming a popular song of the Empire, "Aria in the Night". He used a branch to scoop up a cleaned pheasant, and then placed it on the fire to roast.
The pheasants were roasted until their fat dripped onto the bonfire. Every time a drop fell, the bonfire in the bonfire would soar a little higher and burst into sparks. The young man smacked his mouth, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth as he wiped it from time to time.
At this time, the bonfire suddenly swayed violently and a person appeared next to the fire. The young man sniffled and said, "You're injured?"
He had just finished speaking when the chicken on the branch, a fat and delicious chicken leg, suddenly disappeared. Then someone sat down beside him and the fire illuminated a woman's face. This face, or half of the face, looked beautiful and indifferent. The other half of the face was blocked by a mask that flowed with a metallic luster. It didn't look like it was worn on the face but directly embedded in the skin. With the help of the fire, it could be seen that there was a dark red scar between the edge of the mask and the woman's face. The ugly scar contrasted sharply with the beautiful half of the woman's face.
There was blood at the corners of her mouth and the blood stains hadn't been wiped dry when she ate the chicken into her stomach. The woman silently ate the roast chicken and didn't speak. The baby-faced man sighed. "I told you not to join in the fun. In any case, we will bring the message to him. What he does has nothing to do with us. You see, he didn't kill the person and he was injured. "
"You talk a lot of nonsense." The woman's voice was hoarse and she sounded a bit out of breath.
The baby-faced man smiled and said, "This isn't the first day you know me. Don't you know that I talk a lot? Even so, I don't see that you are impatient. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been partners for 10 years. "
"That is because you are in my ear? Close? Slap a piece of salt on the table, Yi Yue tamp enough to twist!
The man said with a bitter face, "So this is my role." He shook his head and tore off another drumstick, handing it to the woman. "Speaking of which, that person's combat strength isn't weak, but even you failed. He really isn't simple."
"It's more than that. I used the Phantom Incarnation to escape. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire." The woman frowned. "You didn't put salt in the chicken?"
"Did you just eat it?" The baby-faced man smiled. "You were actually forced to use a phantom incarnation. It is really amazing. Hearing you say that, my hands are starting to itch. "
"If you go there now, you might be able to fight."
"I'm not going."
"Afraid of death?"
"No, I'm afraid that I'll ruin Milord's plans. If that happens, it'll be worse than death." The baby-faced man reached out and flicked the iron mask on the woman's face. "You have already eaten such a loss. You are hopeless."
The woman snorted and swept his hand away. She said in a low voice, "I don't need you to care about me."
"Yes, yes, yes. Even the adults can't control you. How could I, your partner, have the ability to do so? Hey, don't eat anymore. Be careful not to get fat. "
The woman glanced at him and said, "What did I say just now?"
The man immediately raised his hand to surrender.
The battle at the bottom of the slope was over.
When more than half of the cavalry were killed or injured, their fighting spirit began to dissipate. Coupled with the fact that Allen, the God of Slaughter, was sweeping through the arena, the other party was defeated like a mountain. Allen didn't look at the other side's powerhouses and only attacked the ordinary Knight. Gojoseon drank the enemy's blood. Except for the assassin who interrupted him for a moment, the rest of the time Gojoseon didn't have an enemy under his knife. Being targeted by Allen meant that half of his foot had already stepped into the coffin.
In addition to Allen, there were also Fares and Rick who rushed to kill the enemy. However, they didn't kill as many people as Adele. Using the top of the slope as a sniper position, the sniper rifle in Adele's hand fired repeatedly. Every time she fired, a Knight would explode in the head and die. Coupled with the Inch Fire Archer's strafing, the Horse team's defeat was even faster. After all, it was a battle that was evenly matched. Being suppressed and beaten was a massacre.
No one was willing to be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The quality of these cavalry was already quite good, but when the battle damage ratio was severely tilted, even the most elite army would lose all fighting spirit.
When the last cavalry fell, the leader of the Horse team was thrown at Allen's feet by Lola. In order to keep him alive, Lola had spent a lot of effort to break his hands and feet, and she had suffered some injuries. Allen squatted down and looked at the other party. "If I ask who ordered you to do this, I guess you probably won't answer?"
The leader smiled bitterly, snorted, and turned his face away.
Allen wasn't surprised. He simply sat down beside the leader of the Horse team and said, "Let me guess again. You didn't say it because you still have a wife, children, and relatives. If you say it, then your relatives won't be able to live, right? "
"But do you know who I am?" Allen looked up at the night sky and said, "I think the person who ordered you probably didn't mention this. After all, publicly attacking a viscount of the Empire is not a small crime."
The leader's entire body trembled, and his expression was surprised. Although he did not admit it, the expression on his face had already explained everything. Allen sighed, "In other words, the one who ordered you treated you as abandoned from the beginning." No matter what the outcome of your attack tonight is, you are destined not to return. Once the murder of an empire's viscount was exposed, even a general would find it difficult to escape. After all, the first emperor had once said that an Sir of the Empire could die in a territorial dispute, but he was never allowed to die in a conspiracy. Being killed in a territorial dispute is called the strong preying on the weak. But murdering an Sir of the Empire is shaking the foundation of the country. Those are two completely different things. "
Ellen looked at the leader again and said, "Do you want to make a bet with me? Even if you die here. Even if you die here, your family will not be spared. As long as all the related people are cleaned up, he can truly stay out of this matter. "
The leader of the Horse team cried out in alarm, "Impossible, he promised us …"
At the end of his words, his entire body suddenly twitched. His eyeballs protruded, and veins popped out under his skin. A few black auras could vaguely be seen swimming on the surface of his body like vipers. Allen was shocked and shouted, "Tell me, who sent you."
"It's …" Just as he was about to shout out a name, the leader of the Horse team suddenly stopped breathing. The veins on his body quickly turned black, and his death was terrifying. Edward came over when he heard the sound and narrowed his eyes when he saw this situation.
"They should have buried some kind of ability in advance when they set off. When needed, they can use it to silence people. " Allen nodded and said, "They are indeed cautious. I don't think you found any marks on the corpses, right?"
Edward grunted and asked, "How do we deal with the corpses?"
Allen stood up and patted his knee. "Bury them all. As for the armor, swords, and guns. Recycle whatever you can and sell them at a low price when we reach Satin City. As for the warhorses, keep them for later use. "
"That's a resounding slap." Edward smiled and turned to leave.
A moment later, Regis, Fares, and a few other experts took action together. They quickly dug a large pit in the wilderness and threw the corpses of the dead into it. After that, the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and retrieved more than a hundred sets of armor and swords, more than forty intact guns, and nearly a thousand bullets. As for the warhorses, apart from those who were seriously injured or dead, there were seventy or so warhorses that were intact. Just this batch of warhorses would be able to sell for a good price.
As for Allen's side, there were three people in the King Of Mountains who were seriously injured, while the others were mostly superficial wounds. Four of the infantry soldiers died in battle, seven were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. This battle damage ratio was shockingly small. This was thanks to the long-range suppression of the Fire Fighting Rifle from the beginning. In addition to the large number of experts on Allen's side, he suppressed the enemy's army experts as soon as the battle began. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a beautiful result.
After resting for four hours, the caravan left the wilderness at daybreak. However, everyone was silent when they passed by last night's battlefield. After all, more than two hundred people were buried here forever. Silence was the minimum respect for the dead.
It was already afternoon when he saw the city walls of Satin City. Allen rode his horse and walked leisurely beside the team. He used his hand to block the dazzling sunlight that fell from above his head and looked in the direction of Satin City. From afar, he could see a scale pattern on the city gate. That was the symbol of Satin City. Satin's city gate was magnificent. The gate was tens of meters tall and arched. On both sides were stone statues of Knight holding swords and sabers, and then the city wall extended from the left and right. The city wall was made of grayish-white boulders, and it was covered with arrow mounds and shooting ports. There's one every hundred meters? On the watchtower, there were several defensive cannons set up at the commanding heights.
Under the sunlight, the rough barrels of the cannons were refracting golden light.
When the caravan arrived at the city gate, it temporarily stopped. Edward, Sean, and the others went forward to handle the formalities for entering the city. Allen was dozing off in the shade of an old tree when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the direction of the city gate. He raised his head and yawned. He gestured to Lucy, who was next to the carriage, and then carried Gojoseon and two soldiers of the King Of Mountains to see what was going on.
At the city gate, a few infantry soldiers formed a half-moon formation, protecting Edward and Sean behind them. In front of the infantry soldiers was a group of imperial soldiers. These soldiers were facing each other with their swords. They wore dark green battle suits and fine iron armor, and there was the symbol of the Bucks Army on their chest. It was the symbol of the Emerald Bucks Army.
The soldiers on both sides were in a stalemate, but both sides restrained themselves and did not start fighting immediately. Allen pushed through the crowd and walked to Edward's side. He asked softly, "What happened?"
