After midnight, the warhorses snorted in the evening wind. Lin Muyu had obtained a set of Silver Exalted Ranger armor, which was made of black iron. Although the level of sophistication was far from being comparable to the Holy Sanctum Battle Robe, it could still add some defense, so she would not be sliced in half by the enemy's blade. Of course, Lin Muyu was not worried about this.
…
The two You Zichen Agents, Luo Yu and Li Qianxun, mounted their horses, raised their weapons, and said in a low voice, "Let's go when we're ready. We don't have much time, let's not waste any more time."
Everyone mounted their horses. In fact, other than Lin Muyu, there were also three Jin Zun Rangers, fourteen Silver Exalted Rangers, and more than five hundred Venerables and Unaffiliated Warriors participating. From the looks of it, it was not an assassination at all, but more like a decisive battle!
Lin Muyu tied the Burning Prairie Sword firmly behind her, and tightened the rope. Her eyes fell on the night sky, the cold wind blowing on her skin, it was a really uncomfortable feeling.
"Let's go!" Li Qianxun ordered, and everyone spurred their horses down the mountain.
A few Jin Zun Rangers followed closely behind the You Zichen Agents, as if they did not care about a new Silver Exalted Ranger like Lin Muyu, or rather, in their eyes, Lin Muyu was already a dead person.
Among the three Jin Zun Rangers, only Long Yan saw Lin Muyu in a different light. He spurred his horse forward and rode side by side with her, laughing, "Lin Yan, I didn't expect you to be promoted to a Silver Exalted Ranger so quickly, but you must be careful on this mission, Nie Yan's Dragon Slaying Palm is famous far and wide, it's powerful and unparalleled, you must live a little longer."
The corner of Lin Muyu's mouth rose, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Long Yan, I will live."
But Long Yan's face was full of disbelief, and he laughed, "Alright then, I also hope that you can live a little longer."
…
The Rangers galloped for about four hours, and arrived at their destination before sunrise, Blue Lake Town. This town was formed around a blue lake, with houses scattered around the lake. At a glance, there were about 200 households, with a total population of between 1,000 to 2,000 people.
"Lord Long Yan, why did the Tian Jing mercenary group choose this village? It doesn't seem to have much profit!" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Long Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't understand. The people of Blue Lake Town rely on fishing and hunting for a living, but the nearby mountains are rich in rare minerals. Even Millennium Darksteel can be dug out, so the blacksmith shops in Blue Lake Town are overflowing with oil, and …"
Long Yan wiped the corner of his mouth. His eyes were full of lust as he smiled and said, "The women of Blue Lake Town live by water. They are especially beautiful, but the women of Lanyan City can't be compared to them. Those wandering mercenaries are all hot-blooded. Who doesn't need women? I think … Nie Yan chose this place to plunder, mostly for the women. Women between the ages of 15 to 30 are treasures to them! "
Lin Muyu took a deep breath, her heart filled with helplessness. This barbaric world!
They did not enter the village. Luo Yu led them directly into the dense forest at the side, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, lie in ambush. No one is allowed to make a sound. Intercept and kill the people of the Tian Jing mercenary group before they enter the village. Lord Lin Yan is responsible for assassinating Nie Yan!"
"No!"
Li Qianxun waved her hand and said, "Envoy Luo Yu is wrong. In my opinion, we should attack after the Tian Jing mercenary group enters the village to plunder."
"Why?" Luo Yu was surprised.
Li Qianxun laughed, "It's very simple. They will only let down their guard after plundering. We attack after these greedy wandering mercenaries have plundered the village. Only then can we convict them, and only then can we show the true character of the House of Chivalry, which is benevolent and righteous. Isn't that right, Envoy Luo Yu?"
"This … Envoy Li Qianxun is right …"
Luo Yu was stunned, but he could only nod his head obediently. Under the moonlight, a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, but it did not escape Lin Muyu's eyes. It turned out that the two great Envoy Li Qianxun did not get along well with each other.
Lying in the snow, Lin Muyu secretly sneered. Allowing the people to be slaughtered, and then attacking, this was indeed benevolent. The House of Chivalry was even more hypocritical than the wandering mercenaries.
Not long after, the sun rose, but there was still no sign of the mercenary group.
Some of the rogue heroes and Venerables looked impatient, and some of them had even taken out dried meat strips and were wolfing them down.
Lin Muyu was still sitting in the snow, like a statue of a general. He did not move an inch, and his aura was at its lowest. He looked into the distance with a deep gaze, not saying a word, and not showing any signs of impatience.
Luo Yu looked at him and could not help but show a look of approval.
It was noon, and finally, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from afar. They were here!
Patches of red appeared in the snow in the forest. It was the mercenary group's flag. The Tianjing Mercenary Group used a blood-red flag. The sound of galloping horses did not stop, and a pure cavalry formation appeared in everyone's field of vision. Moreover, there were more and more of them, as if they were covering the sky and the earth.
"This …"
Luo Yu frowned and said, "At least a thousand people have come, which is more than what we expected. We only brought about 600 people, I think … we should cancel this operation."
Li Qianxun waved her hand and said, "No, since we're here, we shouldn't retreat so easily. Wait until they enter the village and start a massacre, and after they scatter the formation, we'll kill our way over and defeat them!"
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
Lin Muyu was secretly puzzled. They were both Envoy Li Qianxun, but why did Luo Yu always listen to Li Qianxun's words? Why? Perhaps finding the answer would be greatly beneficial to her.
Whistles echoed in the distance, and the people from the Tianjing Mercenary Group killed their way into the village. Very soon, the sounds of fighting and cries could be heard. Not only did they plunder, but they also set fires. The periphery of the village seemed to be on fire, and Blue Lake Town was soon covered in flames.
Lin Muyu gripped the Burning Prairie Sword tightly, and her killing intent was clear. No matter what the mission was this time, just the actions of a group of mercenaries were enough to kill them.
"Get on the horses!" Li Qianxun shouted, "Prepare to attack, no one is allowed to retreat, and those who cower will be killed!"
Everyone got on the horses, and with a swoosh, the flags of the House of Chivalry fluttered. If she did not know the evil behind it, perhaps Lin Muyu would really think that this was a battle for justice.
Li Qianxun held her spear and said, "Lord Lin Yan, you're the executor of this assassination mission, so you'll be the vanguard. Charge!"
Lin Muyu frowned and spurred her horse forward. As expected, the real purpose of this mission was probably to be cannon fodder, right?
"Lin Yan, be careful!"
Luo Yu's voice came from behind, and it made Lin Muyu feel a sense of comfort.
…
The horses galloped on the snowy ground, and in the blink of an eye, they had entered the village. However, the scene that greeted their eyes was a little too horrible to look at. The long bridge into the town was full of corpses, and they were all militia. The weapons in their hands were only crude weapons like harpoons, so how could they be a match for the fully armored mercenaries?
A woman's heart-wrenching scream came from a house at the side.
Lin Muyu did not stop. She pulled out the Burning Prairie Sword and rushed forward. With a slight shake of the blade, a sword aura condensed by the True Dragon's Primary Fire fell among the attacking mercenaries. Instantly, three mercenaries were cut in half at the waist, and their blood splattered on the ground. The warhorse neighed. Lin Muyu did not stop for a moment, and continued to kill into the town.
"It's the people from the House of Chivalry. Stop that guy. Archers, shoot him to death!" A mercenary leader shouted.
Seeing that she had already left the sight of the group of rangers, Lin Muyu quickly spurred her horse forward. She opened her palm slightly, and the Green Gourd Martial Soul was activated. The Mystic Tortoise Shell and Dragon Scale Wall were successfully activated, and she and her warhorse were not hurt as she rushed forward. In the distance, under the battle flag of the Tianjing Mercenaries, a martial artist holding a long saber stood there, and there was a golden badge on his collar. It was the third leader, Nie Yan!
"Bastard!"
Nie Yan saw that Lin Muyu was killing his own people, and he could not care so much anymore. He spurred his horse and rushed over. The saber was full of strong True Qi, and with a sharp whistling sound, it slashed toward Lin Muyu's head.
Lin Muyu had made up her mind to kill. She released her palm, and the Burning Prairie Sword swept forward with lightning. With a "dang" sound, it forcibly shook off Nie Yan's slash. At the same time, the Dou Qi in her palm was dense, and the stars of the common people condensed around her palm. With a roar, she blasted out!
Chaos of the Common People!
Nie Yan was also stunned, "Dou Qi? Heaven … Heaven Realm … "
His long saber had been shaken off, and he hurriedly pushed his palms out, and shouted, "Polar Dragon Slaying!"
There was a faint sound of a dragon's roar, and this Dragon Slaying Palm seemed to be really good.
However, the disparity in strength was too great. How could a third-rate martial art like the Dragon Slaying Palm be compared to the Chaos of the Common People? With a "peng" sound, the Dragon Slaying Palm was instantly swallowed and disintegrated by the Seven Luminaries Xuan Energy. The bones in Nie Yan's palm were all shattered, and he and his horse quickly fell back.
Without waiting for him to have a chance to turn around, Lin Muyu condensed her left hand into a finger, and suddenly waved it with lightning. Violent Thunder Wave!
"Puff!"
Blood splashed out, and the Burning Prairie Sword penetrated Nie Yan's chest, nailing straight into the wall behind him.
"Ah …"
Blood gushed out of Nie Yan's mouth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and disbelief. He did not want to believe that he would die here, and even more could not believe that he would die so easily, and in the hands of a nobody.
"Kacha!"
Lin Muyu called back the long sword, directly cut off Nie Yan's head, and raised it high. At the same time, she withdrew her Dou Qi and the wall of the gourd, and shouted, "Nie Yan has been beheaded, do you still want to resist? Put down your weapons, and maybe I will spare your lives! "
The group of mercenaries was stunned, and many of them put down their weapons. It was a nightmare for them to be enemies with a Heaven Realm expert.
At this time, Li Qianxun, Luo Yu, and the other rangers also rushed in. Before the mercenaries could react, Li Qianxun directly ordered, "Kill, kill them all for me!"
Cruel!
Lin Muyu stood at the side with Nie Yan's head in her hand, and witnessed the massacre. Less than 30% of the 1,000 + mercenaries from the Tian Jing Mercenary Group escaped from Blue Lake Town, and the rest were killed by the sword.
Retribution!
