The soldiers whipped their horses ceaselessly without the slightest bit of pity.
Stimulated by the pain, the horses galloped faster and faster.
Still, the soldiers felt like they were still slow.
A reward of 100,000 and a promotion of three ranks was enough to excite the soldiers who were stationed at the outskirts of Herl City, causing them to go into a frenzy.
Now that there was no war, any military merit that could raise their rank was worth the risk.
That was because it represented more than just honor.
More so, a reward of 100,000!
For the soldiers who received a monthly allowance of 200, it was an astronomical figure.
Hence, when they received the order, the soldiers couldn't wait to set off.
One man, two horses, galloped under the starry night.
Dak Dak Dak Dak
The concentrated galloping sounds were like a storm beating on the banana leaves. It didn't stop for even a moment, it was fast and hurried.
It seemed to have transformed into the burning desire in every soldier's heart.
It made them disregard everything and forget everything else.
It made them only remember the reward and the military merit.
The one who stood in their way.
Naturally, they would destroy everything.
Looking at the figure that walked out from the darkness, the soldiers didn't have the intention to stop. They whipped their horses again, their mouths were filled with killer intents yet unclear growls.
Then, the growls stopped abruptly.
A dark red two-handed greatsword sliced the night sky. The soldier who was charging at the front was slashed in half together with his horse.
Then, the soldiers who followed behind.
The second one.
The third one.
The fourth one.
One after another, the dark red two-handed greatsword slashed left and right.
The one wielding the greatsword kept stepping forward.
The charging warhorses continued their charge.
Both sides clashed without backing off.
In the end.
The 500 soldiers who were chasing Kieran were split in half.
It was like a raging river crashing into a river.
However, unlike the raging river that went around the boulder and merged back into one, behind Kieran, the bodies of the soldiers and warhorses were strewn all over the place.
However, the appearance of the bodies didn't scare the soldiers.
Quite the contrary, it made them even more agitated.
"Fire!"
A loud shout sounded.
The flintlock pistols of the riders were shining with gunpowder and thick black smoke was rising.
Bang Bang Bang!
Lead bullets were fired at Kieran's body after he activated it.
To no avail
Not to mention the lead bullets of flintlock pistols, even modern firearms would have a hard time penetrating a Powerful level defense.
However, when faced with such a despairing reality, these soldiers actually did not care at all.
He threw away the flintlock in his hand, pulled out the cavalry sword on his waist, and charged towards Kieran again.
The irritable aura emanating from these soldiers was becoming more and more distinct.
A familiar feeling surfaced in Kieran's heart.
"As expected, his mind has been affected by something similar to the Eye of Chimeras?"
Kieran thought.
At first sight of these soldiers, Kieran had already noticed that something was wrong.
It wasn't a group of Nights or Mutants that were chasing after Kieran. It was a group of real humans, but something was not right about them.
Having communicated with the Beast of Desire before, Kieran was able to make some guesses.
After his speculation was confirmed, Kieran quickly changed his original plan.
Now, he followed the altered plan and started to scan his surroundings with an anxious and doubtful gaze.
A layer of blood mist started to spread around.
From shallow to deep.
After a breath's time, the blood mist enveloped the whole battlefield. Not only did it devour Kieran, but it also devoured the rest of the riders as well.
A huge, ugly figure started to faintly appear in the blood mist.
"Hahahaha!
You guys only realized something is wrong now? It's too late!
What a foolish human! "
Mozorc laughed out loud when he saw everything that was happening on the battlefield through a crystal.
He was commenting on Kieran with a disdainful tone.
Especially when he emphasized the word "human".
It wasn't just targeting Kieran's strength, it was targeting Kieran's judgment as well.
At first, Mozorc didn't think there was a noble other than himself that could have killed Benz, and now, he was even more certain.
Kieran was not even worth a mention.
Killing Benz was just a moment of luck.
It might even be because of Benz's weakening period, allowing a human to take advantage of the situation.
"Edgar, inform Contly to make her move."
Mozorc ordered a pale, scrawny man beside him with a commanding tone.
The man wasn't like the other Nights who had an ugly face. He didn't look like a human either, but every single one of them was extremely arrogant.
Even though his face was pale, he was still handsome and gentle.
Edgar didn't say anything, he nodded and took out a crystal ball.
A holographic image appeared on the crystal ball the size of a pinky finger.
The image was spinning and shaking a little.
But it was very clear, so was the sound.
Even the sound of Contly's breathing could be heard clearly by the Nights and Mutants on the spot.
More importantly, the image was from Contly's first person perspective.
In other words, Contly saw something.
The Nights and Mutants were able to see something.
"Contly, bring Herbert back!"
Edgar ordered.
Right away, the image in Kieran's first person perspective started to move.
Not long after, he found something.
Herbert was hiding in the shadows, waiting patiently.
With the darkness and shadows of the night, the place looked very safe.
However, the sneering expression on Mozorc's face was getting heavier.
"Take him down!"
The Mutant leader ordered.
The image moved again, proving that Contly was closing in on Herbert rapidly.
However, there was one figure that was faster.
Before Contly could react, the figure stood in front of Herbert and blocked his way.
More importantly, another figure appeared beside Contly without a sound and knocked her out with lightning speed.
The scene shook violently.
However, the Nights and Mutants were able to see who the two figures that appeared out of nowhere were.
But it was precisely because of this that their expressions all became strange.
The sneering expression froze on Mozorc's face.
He stared at the last still image with a ferocious gaze.
"Sventrian!
How dare you betray me! "
A loud roar sounded. A strange aura emanated from Mozorc's body, causing the Nights and Mutants around him to back off in fear.
At the same time, an unusual atmosphere appeared among the Mutants in a subtle manner.
The news of Kieran being a high tier noble wasn't a secret among the Mutants, it was just that they couldn't confirm it.
However, Sventrian and Leen's betrayal seemed to prove something.
Huuhaa! Huuhaa!
Mozorc calmed down as he panted heavily, suppressing the rage in his heart.
His abilities allowed him to instantly grasp the subtle atmosphere.
Mozorc made a quick decision and pointed at the other crystal, saying, "If he is a noble, how could he fall into such an insignificant trap? He is nothing but a lowly human …"
KABOOM!
He didn't even finish his words.
A loud explosion came from the void and interrupted Mozorc's words.
Kak!
The crystal before him suddenly exploded with a clear noise, cracks spreading all over it like a spider web.
Faraway!
The wicked aura swept across the scene.
