Chapter 86 Authentic
The imperial capital, Yinshi.
The night is getting darker and darker at this time, the moon is covered by thick dark clouds in the sky, and the darkness submerges the outer city like a thick fog. Only the four walls of the city will explode with fireworks, which are the only ones left in the dark night. Faint light.
But this faint light often lasts for a while, and is trampled into a pool of bloody mud by a cavalry team with iron hoofs. Then, the fireworks fade, and the cavalry leaves with blood all over their bodies, leaving only the vast patch of land behind them. A pile of corpses that was about to be filled by darkness.
"end!"
The cavalry reined in their horses and stopped under Xu Yue's order. The horses stopped, and the knights were solemn. In just a moment, the entire cavalry changed from an extremely dynamic running state to a statue-like silence on the dark street. , only the wisps of sparks sprayed from the war horse's mouth and nose emitted some faint light, reflecting on the Senhan armor full of scratches and cracks, bringing out a bright red.
At this time, Xu Yue and the others had already crushed two full circles around the outer city wall, forcing the originally noisy imperial capital back into a dead silence. It was so quiet that the entire empire could hear the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
The only contractors left in the outer city are those who have been hiding. As for the arrogant, eager, and smart ones, they should be queuing up to drink Meng Po soup by now. The more powerful ones are in Boxing in the octagonal ring in Xu Yue's spiritual space.
Xu Yue looked up at the sky and estimated that there would be less than three hours until sunrise. He had to solve all this before dawn.
"Mandel, divide the knights into three teams, assign one to each, search for all conscious creatures in the imperial capital, and kill all they encounter."
-
"Elro, you stay with me. The two of us are responsible for cleaning up the west side."
After Xu Yue finished explaining, he took out three fire beads and threw them to Mandel, and continued: "Distribute this thing to each team. If you encounter someone who cannot deal with it, crush it."
"Yes, sir."
The cavalry behind them dispersed quickly. The Imperial Capital was too big. If they were integrated into one team, it would take a lot of time. If divided into four teams, the efficiency would be much improved. Anyway, the number of contractors was almost wiped out now, and the threat was greatly reduced. A team of more than ten knights can completely handle it.
After the cavalry walked away, Xu Yue turned to look at Elro who was following behind him.
"Ello, let's start and see how many rats there are in the Imperial Capital."
"Yes, Chief Xinhuo."
Elro nodded in agreement, and then closed his eyes. Faint white ripples began to spread in all directions with him as the center. As priests of the Sleeping Temple, they have a unique perception of dreams and can hypnotize civilians in the city into dreamland. Naturally, It can also detect creatures that are not dreaming within a certain range.
A few seconds later, Elro, who had closed his eyes for perception, opened his eyes and pointed the staff in the southwest direction.
"Sir, there are three of them one kilometer away from here."
"Set off."
Four minutes later, a residential house in the outer city exploded.
The two figures were blown away from the house by the blast of air and landed heavily. After rolling many times on the street, they stood up in embarrassment and wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths. They looked at the house in front of them that was constantly collapsing in the flames. Houses, eyes full of terror.
"Such a violent explosion should have killed him, right?"
"Whether you're killed or not, run away first. You still want to go in and see if you've exploded the scarlet card."
Hearing his companion's question, a man in a black leather coat responded angrily, then stood up and ran towards the rear, as if he was followed by a ferocious beast.
There was a trace of greed in the eyes of the contractor who was still sitting on the ground behind him, but after recalling the power of the man in the house to beat his teammates into mincemeat with one blow, the greed in his eyes was quickly replaced by fear. After trembling all over, he also He quickly followed up, rolling and crawling on the ground to chase his companion who had already run away.
"Hey, wait..."
Before he finished speaking, the shouting voice was torn apart by a scream, and a fatal sense of crisis came from behind the contractor, but before he had time to react, a large piece of flesh, flesh and bone had exploded from his chest, and a Fangtian painted halberd penetrated straight through it. Through his chest, there were splashes of blood stuck diagonally on the marble slab in front of him.
"Ho... ho ho..."
On the street, the contractor looked down at the big bloody hole in his chest, struggling to say something, but all the strength in his body seemed to flow out from the hole along with the broken internal organs, and he couldn't vomit. After half a syllable, he could only collapse, his knees hit the ground heavily, and there was no more sound.
In the distance, another contractor who was escaping heard the movement behind him and turned around to look. He saw his teammate kneeling in a pool of blood and hanging his head. A blood-stained Fangtian painted halberd was stuck in front of him. , his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he quickly increased his speed and ran away like crazy.
"call out!"
There was an imperceptible sound of breaking through the air. The contractor, who was originally a frightened bird, quickly crushed the jade pendant in his hand. The oval energy shield took shape instantly, but in front of the flying red light, it only blocked one. The moment he breathed, he was completely pierced by the red light, and a shrill scream spread. The man fell to the ground holding his thigh, with a long metal arrow covered with flame patterns stuck in it.
The severe pain came and went quickly. In just a few breaths, the pain in the man's leg faded and turned into numbness. He watched in horror as he was steaming, covered in grease, and could even smell a faint scent of meat. His thighs, he found that his thighs seemed... ripe.
In panic, he reached out to grab the arrow on his leg, but as soon as his palm touched the arrow body, the sound of sizzling barbecue sounded from his hand, and signs of carbonization began to appear around his thigh, and the entire arrow At the moment of contact, it turned into a red-hot iron, burning all flesh and blood that came into contact with it.
He let go of his hand in pain, and looked at his lower body, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes. He turned over his hand and took out a short knife and chopped it into the thigh. The sharp blade cut through the muscles and bones, and the broken leg was thrown away without even a drop of blood. When it comes out, there is only golden grease oozing from the white cooked meat at the cross section.
"I surrender, I..."
After dealing with the severed limbs, the man, knowing that he could not escape, decisively surrendered loudly. Halfway through his words, another beam of red light flashed. This time, an arrow penetrated from the mouth, the skull exploded, and the corpse fell to the ground.
After the two people 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. He calmly stepped over the kneeling corpse in the center of the street, and the purple flames rose. , the body disappeared quickly. Xu Yue pulled out the halberd on the ground. After shaking off the flesh and blood stained on the halberd, he looked at the shadow in the corner.
"Ello, go ahead."
"yes."
In the shadows, Elro led the war horse out of the darkness. Just when he was about to close his eyes and sense it, he was stopped by Xu Yue again.
"etc!"
After stopping Elro, Xu Yue looked up to the east, where a fire bead was touched.
"Let's go over there for support first."
The two got on their horses and hurried towards the east.
…………
To the east of the border city, in a small courtyard close to the city wall, explosions of fire and bright holy light exploded one after another in the courtyard.
Now that the walls of the entire courtyard have been completely destroyed, the knights clothed in holy light charged towards the center of the courtyard again and again, but each charge was blocked by a roaring giant bear and a huge tower shield. Block it, and then be forced back by heavy fire.
The leading knight's eyes jumped over the giant bear in front of him and looked at the deep pit with no bottom in the middle of the courtyard. He became more and more anxious. That thing might be leading to the outer wall, but the defense on the other side was too strong. They Lack of sufficient ability to attack difficulties, no effective results were obtained after several charges, and they were repeatedly repulsed. The opponent did not rush forward, and just stayed around the potholes.
‘I hope Commander Xinhuo will arrive in time, otherwise the opponent may really escape. ’
Thoughts flooded his mind, and the rhythm of the knight's attack he led continued unabated.
"cast!"
More than a dozen silver shadows whizzed down, but they were all stopped by a tower shield glowing with golden light. The short spear pierced the tower shield, but it could only make it tremble slightly, and then it was bounced away.
The tall and strong man stood behind the tower shield, looking at the members of the Knights in front with a mocking tone.
"Have you guys not eaten? With this little strength, if you still want to break through my high defense, you have to go back and practice for a few more years."
The sarcastic words reached his ears. The leading knight's face was ashen, and he was about to burst out with strength to punish the opponent, when suddenly a large wind and wave roared around him.
"when!!"
There was an explosion from the front, and a heavy hammer hit the golden tower shield. The violent sound waves produced stung the eardrums of everyone present. The hammer and shield connected, and the complexion of the tall man behind the tower shield changed. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and was then thrown backwards by the tower shield in front of him.
The heavy hammer bounced back to the ground, creating a dent in front of the knights. The silver palm held the handle of the hammer, and a playful tone sounded on the quiet battlefield.
"Oh, that's it?"
