The warhorses galloped, the golden swallowtail flag fluttering in the wind.
The eagle on the flag was vivid and lifelike, as if it could soar into the sky at any moment.
Below the flag, a hundred Aïtantin imperial guard riders sat neatly on their horses, their bodies moving up and down, even the horses' rhythm was exactly the same.
Anyone who saw the group of riders would exclaim how elite and terrifying they were.
A hundred men as one.
It wasn't something that could be achieved easily.
It required a huge amount of money and a long period of training.
More so, the group of riders wasn't just for show.
This kind of faint murderous aura would only appear on some veterans of the battlefield.
Therefore, as the leader of the group, Felix was very proud of himself.
As the trusted aide of the king, he had helped the king clear the obstacles in the dark more than once.
This time?
It was no exception.
More so, the mission this time was too simple.
It wasn't an assassination.
It wasn't a forceful assault.
It wasn't even a battle.
It was just an 'escort'.
The mission was to escort the new lord of Sicar safely to Aïtantin Castle.
Felix couldn't hold back his laughter when he thought about the contents of the mission.
Felix, who was born a noble, understood the king's intention: to keep the baroness under his control. Otherwise, the king wouldn't have sent him, the youngest and most handsome captain, here.
As a matter of fact, he had heard about the baroness, who had lost her husband at a young age.
She didn't fit in with the circle of nobles.
She loved to read and was knowledgeable.
Of course, she was also a famous beauty when she was young. If it wasn't for her weird personality, which caused her to reject the royal family, she might have become the wife of one of the royal family members.
Now?
The baroness was only 30 years old.
Her looks wouldn't change much.
She had the beauty of a young girl and a young married woman.
Felix liked this kind of woman.
Let alone the huge amount of inheritance that she brought with her.
"If I can really take down this widow, I might not be a captain anymore!
"And my family will definitely rise because of my advancement."
I might even build a mansion in Aïtantin Castle. "
Felix was filled with energy as he imagined the beautiful future.
He couldn't wait to appear in front of the baroness in an instant and display his elegance and charm to capture her heart.
As for his fiancée?
He couldn't care less.
If the other party was willing to follow him anonymously after he completed this important step, he would be more than happy to accept the other party. But what if the other party minded?
I'm sorry, but she's just a fiancée. How could she be more important than his future and his entire family?
Having made up his mind, Felix's eyes were filled with determination.
At this moment, even if there was a lion blocking his way, he would still have the courage to fight.
However, a lion would never appear in Sicar.
The ice and snow here could only nurture creatures with great cold-resistance and adaptability.
For example …
Rats!
These rodents appeared silently in the dense forest on both sides of the main road along with a huge cloud of mist. They were extremely adept at hiding themselves. They stared at the Aïtantin royal family guardians who had slowed down because of the thick mist.
There were no orders.
Naturally, he didn't attack.
The rodents were like bystanders, watching the scene unfold.
The sudden appearance of the fog caused the entire team to slowly move forward for a while before coming to a stop.
Felix, who was sitting on his horse, couldn't help but chuckle coldly when he saw the mist a dozen meters in front of him.
After accepting the mission, of course he paid close attention to everything that happened in Sicar.
Of course, he knew about the so-called Mist religious sect.
However, Felix didn't care about it.
Because behind him was the Aïtantin royal family!
"Just a demigod that just descended, does he really think he can do whatever he wants?
If he can't even deal with a demigod … "
"The Aïtantin royal family has been wiped out a long time ago!"
With a cold laugh in his heart, Felix raised his right hand up.
Right away, the riders unsheathed their swords one after another.
The blades of the swords shone coldly, lines after lines of unusual patterns appeared on the broad ridge of the swords. Under the morning sun, the patterns were emanating their own radiance.
Magical weapons!
It wasn't just a single magical weapon!
There were hundreds of sets of magical weapons!
The magical weapons resonated with each other, buffing each other.
In the end, all of them gathered on Felix.
An awe-inspiring aura appeared on Felix's body.
Felix couldn't help but take in a deep breath when he felt the power of a hundred men.
Although it wasn't the first time he felt this kind of power, Felix was still in awe of himself.
Powerful!
Incomparably powerful!
What were the pagans compared to this kind of power?
Aside from those that didn't complete their descent, even those that did, Felix had killed two of them in his current state.
As for a demigod?
Felix couldn't help but reveal a sneer filled with ridicule and killing intent on his face.
He grabbed the golden swallowtail flag tied to his back.
Perhaps he might still be a little weaker than a demigod, but he came with a war flag.
Without a second thought, Felix infused all his power into the flag.
Yee!
An eagle's cry that could shatter metal echoed in the sky.
The eagle on the golden swallowtail flag came to life!
It first moved its neck and turned its head to look at the fog. Its sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the shroud of the fog and see everything within.
Then …
It directly flew out from the war flag.
Without the eagle, the golden color of the war flag dimmed, but a moment later, an even denser golden color appeared on the eagle's body.
Just like a slowly rising sun, an eagle could not help but soar into the sky.
It absorbed the sunlight.
The light and heat from the sunlight gathered on its body. After two breaths, the golden figure became so bright that it couldn't be looked at directly.
Radiance. Warmth.
Radiance. Blinding.
It was just like the second sun that had risen.
It was still rising.
Not just its body, but its aura as well.
When it reached the peak visible to the naked eye, the eagle swooped down like a bomber and plunged straight into the fog.
Wuuu!
The strong wind that came from the dive blew at the cheeks of Felix and the others. They couldn't help but squint their eyes. No matter how well-trained the warhorses were, they couldn't help but back off.
The mist in front of them started to rumble like boiling water.
The next moment …
Boom!
A huge explosion blasted into the sky.
The golden radiance swept the surroundings.
The ground trembled for a few seconds before it stopped.
When the ground stopped trembling, the fog dissipated just like that.
Along with the mist, a figure disappeared.
It was blurry.
Very blurry.
Felix saw it.
Several of his godly archers also saw it.
Felix and the other Godly Archers were not surprised by this.
It was normal.
After all, this war flag was prepared for those so-called 'demigods'.
Sunlight shone over the land once again.
Every member of the Aïtantin royal guards could clearly see a huge crater with a diameter of 10 meters in front of them.
Not only the main road, but the woods on both sides were also affected.
"Dismount!
Take a detour! "
Felix gave a new order.
The two-meter-deep crater was not something a warhorse could cross.
Even though their warhorses were carefully selected, it was still the same.
All the Aïtantin royal guards jumped off their warhorses and led them around the edge of the crater.
In order to speed up the journey, Felix split the group into two groups and went around the crater from both sides.
Although it wasn't crowded, the group was in a mess.
Felix didn't stop her at all.
That was because he knew very well that no matter how elite a team was, it was impossible to maintain unity at this moment.
Besides, the biggest enemy had already been killed.
As for the rest?
It was time to collect the spoils of war.
Felix thought of the baroness again and started to formulate a plan.
As a young man of noble birth, not only did he have many ways to woo a girl, but he also knew which method was the most suitable for him.
When he thought of the situation, the Aïtantin royal guard leader couldn't help but smile.
What he didn't notice was some small, grayish-black figures were quietly approaching them.
Felix's attention was then attracted by the terrible surface of the ground.
Because of the high temperature from the explosion, the frozen ground had softened. Mixed with the snow and water, the ground under Felix's feet was like mud.
Felix frowned when he saw the mud on his clean boots, but in order to prevent himself from falling, he had to concentrate on walking along the edge of the crater step by step.
Felix wasn't the only one, his subordinates were the same.
Even the most vigilant veterans were no exception.
After all, their biggest enemy had been eliminated, right?
Besides, none of them wanted to fall in the mud and become the laughing stock of their comrades.
Until …
"Aaaah!"
Suddenly, an agonizing scream came from the group.
All the royal guards drew their swords and looked towards the source of the scream.
One of the royal guards was holding his wrist, and under his feet was a squashed rat.
"Damn it, the rat!"
The member cursed under his breath, then signaled to his colleagues that he was fine.
"You must have put honey on your wrist, otherwise, why would the rat bite you?"
"Yeah!"
What followed was a series of laughter.
Felix wasn't too concerned when he heard the laughter.
However, an unknown sense of danger rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but size up his surroundings.
Then, the captain with excellent eyesight noticed something was wrong.
His face changed drastically.
"Attention!"
He warned his men loudly.
But it was too late.
Hordes of rats swarmed towards them.
150 rats were divided into two groups, and their roles were clear.
Each rat would rush towards one of the royal guards, and the remaining 50 rats would go after the horses.
Harrumph!
The rats bared their sharp teeth and bit the horses' necks and butts. After a few bites, they would switch to the next horse.
The pain caused the horses to twist their bodies, and the ones who were affected the most were their riders.
The guards standing beside the warhorses were already flustered by the sudden appearance of the rats. At this moment, they were either knocked to the ground by their own warhorses or carried to the ground.
Originally, with the royal guards' strength, they shouldn't have been so weak.
However, after the enemy was eliminated, they relaxed and let down their guard.
Coupled with the mud on the ground, their strength was greatly restricted.
Thus, such a strange scene appeared — — — -
A group of mice won a short victory against the most elite troops of the Kingdom of Aïtantin.
The reason why it was a temporary victory.
Naturally, it was because the rat's teeth could not deal any fatal damage to the team.
Unless the neck was bitten open.
And the probability of that happening was too small.
It could basically be said to be negligible.
But it wasn't just the rats that appeared.
Felix, who was fully aware of this, roared loudly.
"Assemble!"
"Assemble!"
That mouse had already been pinched to death by him.
However, Felix did not let his guard down. He knew very well that the mouse was just a tool to disrupt the enemy's rhythm. The real killer move was yet to come.
At this time, they naturally had to gather their troops and gather their strength again.
However, before the group could gather, the shadow under Felix's feet twisted. Bloody Mary broke out from the shadow and grabbed Felix's neck with its palm.
Puff!
Blood gushed out, Felix clutched his throat and fell to the ground in disbelief.
From the moment the mice appeared, Felix, who had been on high alert, couldn't believe that the enemy was hiding in his shadow.
Looking at Felix on the ground, Bloody Mary, who had been hiding for a long time and created a mist with its illusion, smirked.
It was much easier than it thought.
These bastards came prepared.
Their target was very clear.
To most people, it wasn't good news, but to Bloody Mary, it was good news.
Since they came prepared, they had a specific target.
In simple words, it was much easier to deal with a group of people with preconceived notions than an enemy that was on high alert.
However, the enemy's strength still exceeded Bloody Mary's expectation.
"Being able to build a kingdom on a land with a God, he really isn't a simple bastard."
Bloody Mary muttered softly.
Bloody Mary would never underestimate the battle style that gathered everyone's strength and fused them into one person.
It shared the same viewpoint as its boss: quantitative change would lead to qualitative change.
This was just a hundred men.
What if it was a thousand men?
Even with its immortal trait, it would suffer irreversible damage.
What if it was ten thousand men?
God of War, Lady Calamity, and the others would have to avoid the sharp edge.
Of course, its weakness was obvious as well.
That 'one person' was not randomly chosen.
Not just the person, but the sword as well.
Bloody Mary, who possessed sufficient mystical knowledge, picked up Felix's sword without a second thought and smiled at the royal guardians that charged at it. It waved its hand and vanished on the spot.
Then …
The mist appeared again.
The angry shouts turned into fear.
Then?
Silence.
