Lord of War

Rough roars resounded in a house, but soon came the angry roars of men and the screams of women. ? Hunting? ? Text ?? ???????

Not long after, another chaotic noise sounded one after another, as well as the sound of tables and chairs being overturned, pot lids falling to the ground, and porcelain breaking. Immediately afterwards, the woman's scream quickly turned into a pleading cry, and then turned into a mournful cry.

Several burly men rushed out of the house in no time.

These people had ferocious expressions and crazy eyes on their faces. They moved violently and looked around with vicious eyes, as if they were picking the next target. They carried several packages on their backs, and carried different weapons in their right hands: rolling pins, kitchen knives, and wooden sticks, but the most threatening one should be a double-edged sword that was clearly sharpened.

In normal times, thugs like them would definitely not have any chance of looting houses.

But now it is different.

The flames lit up everything around. Just on both sides of this street, several houses had already been engulfed in flames. There were fleeing crowds and thugs taking advantage of the fire.

A few pretty girls were caught up by another group of thugs during their hasty escape.

The two men who should be the husband and the eldest son quickly turned around and tried to protect their wife and daughter. However, the stalemate did not last for a minute before the two men were knocked to the ground. It should be the husband's middle-aged man. The man was stabbed in the abdomen, and blood gushed out; while the young man who was supposed to be the eldest son was stabbed in the chest by a dagger, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, motionless.

A woman was crying on top of them, but was quickly pulled away by the thugs. No matter how hard they struggled, they were only torn off by the thugs in the end.

But soon there was an old man next to him to defend it, but the old man was obviously too old, and he fell to the ground after being waved roughly by a thug.

The shrill wailing, the crackling of flames, and the crazy roars of the thugs resounded throughout the city like a doomsday symphony.

This is the border city of Ganesh, Saitan.

The most proud knight army in the Kingdom of Gness, the Holy Knights of Gness, was raided by the Punisher Legion of the God of War Kingdom, and it was only reported from the front line five days ago. However, at that time, the front-line report only said that the two sides were at a stalemate in military strength, and several small-scale battles had each won. big advantage,

Because the main army of the Kingdom of Gness has arrived at the main battlefield.

Everyone knows that it must be the Void Empire Expeditionary Force on the main battlefield that determines the fate of the Kingdom of Genes.

But just when all the people of Gnese thought that the war would not break out so soon, in fact the Void Empire Expeditionary Army had already launched its first attack on the Gnese Kingdom's army the next day. By the time the border city of Gnessy received the news of the outbreak of the border war, it was already three days later. At this time, the main force of the Gnessy Kingdom had been completely wiped out, and the Void Empire Expeditionary Force had already driven straight in.

In the next two days, although Gnessy's front line was constantly gathering routs and trying to block the entry of the Void Empire's expeditionary force, the effect was minimal.

By the time Saitan heard the news of the frontline rout, the vanguard of the Void Empire Expeditionary Force had already arrived at Saitan's city gate.

What happened next is a well-known story.

After the Void Empire's persuasion failed, a siege battle officially started, but Saitan's fighting power was not as strong as the city lord imagined. This siege battle could not even last for half a day. In less than an hour, the city wall was completely lost. Immediately afterwards, the city gate was opened, the Void Empire Expeditionary Army captured the city wall, and the city lord Saitan turned the battle For street fighting.

But by this time, the entire city of Saitan had completely turned into chaos.

A large number of civilians began to flee towards the north gate, and the thugs who fished in troubled waters also began to do evil in the city, and soon the whole city became a doomsday scene.

There are not a few civilians who died of being hijacked by mobs.

Similarly, death by thugs' crazy and blatant rape and adultery is not uncommon.

At this time, even nobles, if there is not enough deterrence, there will still be thugs who dare to die.

On the only road leading to the north city gate, there are no less than five noble carriages that overturned and inlaid with family crests, and there are not a few wealthy people who died on the side of the road in luxurious clothes.

"Whoosh—"

There was a whistling sound in the air.

The thug who knocked the old man to the ground and then rode on a plump woman was instantly knocked off half of his head by a feathered arrow, and the red and white liquid was sprayed on his crotch in an instant On the woman, the frightened woman who was already naked let out an even more shrill scream.

Several thugs saw the tragic death of their companion, especially the lustful expression on his face, which made them even more terrified and scalp numb.

Regardless of other things, these people immediately got up and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.

They are very clear that with the military quality of the city guards, it is absolutely impossible to have such a strong combat power. After all, they are all natives. How can they not know what the city guards of Saitan City are like? .

But soon, several sharp whistles sounded in the air one after another.

The few thugs who tried to escape were immediately shot and killed by the arrows shot from the heart of their backs, and they didn't even have time to run five steps away.

The surrounding sight quickly followed the arrow shooting position, and then saw a group of twelve soldiers running out of an alley.

The twelve soldiers were wearing black leather armor. Judging from the material, it should be leather armor processed by special craftsmanship. But this does not prevent them from being able to see that the soldiers wearing these leather armors are definitely well-trained and elite soldiers. This can only be seen from the spirit and spirit of the twelve soldiers and the city guards they usually see It can be clearly seen by comparing the spirit and spirit.

Each of these soldiers has a black longbow, a quiver at the back of the waist, three small axes pinned to the right waist, a combat broadsword at the left waist, and an iron round shield on the back. The prominently protruding handle on the boot was obviously a dagger for protection.

This is simply a group of elites armed to the teeth!

This army is the famous Cecilia Guards—almost no one in the southern continent knows the uniforms of this army. Basically, they only need to look at this pair of equipment that is armed to the teeth. An army of terror.

Because of the direct showdown between Hella, Alfred, and Clover, Clover had already recognized the current situation in the empire, so he did not express any objection. After all, he himself knew very well that no matter how much he did, if Cecilia really didn't intend to be the emperor, then everything would be in vain. And most importantly, Cecilia is not the kind of puppet that can be manipulated at will, she has extremely strong strength, if Clover really wants to force the palace, then there is only one final result.

So after recognizing the situation, Clover transferred all his motivation to the battlefield.

This time, he and the legion under Alfred's command took turns as the vanguard of the attack on the Kingdom of Gness.

The Lion of Thunder is currently in charge of defeating the remnants of the Kingdom of Gness, and by the way cooperates with the Punisher Legion from the Kingdom of War God to encircle and suppress the Holy Knights of Gness, so the important task of conquering Saitan, a border city of the Kingdom of Gness, naturally falls to Cecilia's bodyguard.

Right now, although the Gnesians didn't know which unit these elite soldiers belonged to, all the thugs present knew very well that they absolutely could not be the opponents of these soldiers.

The leader of the twelve soldiers was a young man with an indifferent expression.

He doesn't look very old, he should not be more than thirty years old, and his appearance is not very handsome - especially at the corner of his right eye, there is a line that falls straight from the corner of his forehead, and if he deviates just a little bit, his right eye will be completely wiped out. The hideous and blind scars ruined his appearance even more. But in contrast to his slightly ferocious appearance, this young man has a very sharp aura, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

He glanced around at the miserable scene, and many thugs felt a sense of panic that made their hearts palpitate from his indifferent eyes.

These thugs didn't want to stay here for even a second, but for some reason, they couldn't move to leave here.

As if, it was like being fixed here by a magician who cast a body spell.

"Shoot and kill all the thugs." The young man said coldly, and he was the first to untie the string and shoot an arrow.

With a sharp whistling sound, the feather arrow directly pierced through the heart of a thug holding a wooden stick, and then firmly nailed to the wooden door of the wooden house he just ran out of after robbing. The strong penetrating power even made Yujian's arrow penetrate the thug's body, and then penetrated into the wooden door three minutes deep before stopping, leaving only the quivering arrow feather at the end shaking.

The thug looked down at his chest in disbelief, a three-finger-wide blood hole was clearly exposed in his chest.

The next moment, his consciousness was immersed in the darkness, and then he slowly knelt down on the ground, and the belongings contained in the cloth bag on his back were quickly scattered all over the floor.

This arrow seemed to sound the horn of attack, and the eleven soldiers around immediately started a new round of free fire.

Almost all the thugs present were shot and killed on the spot in less than ten seconds. Even though a few thugs were very smart to find temporary shelters to hide, but with the advance of Cecilia's guards, it was impossible for these thugs to escape the fate of being shot. Occasionally, a few thugs tried to take hostages as a shield, but these methods did not pose any threat to the soldiers of the Cecilia Guards, who were already hostile. The possibility of mercy.

However, although this behavior frightened the hostages, they soon discovered that these enemy soldiers in black leather armor were very good at archery, because the thug who held them was dead, but they still survived.

The only troublesome ones were those thugs who saw that the situation was not good, so they ran into the nearby houses.

However, this is just a little troublesome, far from being tricky - and the so-called trouble does not refer to the difference in combat effectiveness, but the current Cecilia Guards team has only twelve people.

After all, the Cecilia Guards are an all-terrain and all-round combat force. Whether they are in the field or on the plains, street fighting, indoors, etc., there is no environment where they cannot fight. Even without the use of bows and arrows, they had shields and broadswords, and even protective daggers and fine hatchets for throwing.

And as more and more Cecilia Guard soldiers arrived at the only way to the north gate, it became easier to sweep up the mobs in the house.

"The 15th Squadron of the 7th Division of the Cecilia Guards, report to Commander Speen!" Another group of soldiers from the Cecilia Guards arrived here and were already occupied by the young man. The frontline command center has been established, but there are only five soldiers in this team of Cecilia's Guards. Obviously, the battle along the way is extremely fierce. "The captain and deputy captain have been killed. I will take the position of captain temporarily."

"Do you need to rest?" The young man named Speen asked in a deep voice.

"No need!" The soldier acting as the captain replied.

"At present, only you and the eighth and eleventh teams of the seventh branch have arrived. You temporarily form a team and advance 500 meters west of the city, and then set up a temporary stronghold to rescue civilians and kill mobs and city guards." Speyn nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "The rescued civilians are temporarily placed in a temporary stronghold, waiting for new orders."

"Yes." The soldier gave a salute, then turned around and led the people away. After meeting with his new teammates, he immediately pushed out towards the west of the city.

Along with Speen's continuous integration of the soldiers of the Cecilia Guards who arrived at the command point here, and then continuously issued new orders to these soldiers, with this stronghold as the center of the circle, the soldiers of the Cecilia Guards The troops quickly spread the control area to an area with a radius of one mile. If you count the completely captured South City Gate and the route that is constantly advancing from the South City Gate to the command center, it can be said that two-thirds of the entire Saitan City has fallen into Cecilia's vicinity. In the hands of the guards.

At this moment, only three hours have passed since the start of Cecilia's guards attacking the city.

And when the time turned to the fifth hour after Cecilia's Guards started the siege, the entire city of Saitan had completely fallen into the hands of Cecilia's Guards, and the city defense forces retreated to the City Lord's Mansion. . However, there are still many city defense forces and some sporadic resistance forces composed of civilians in the city who are constantly fighting, which still causes a certain degree of trouble for the Cecilia Guards.

And when night began to fall, nine hours had passed since the siege battle broke out, and the city lord's mansion was officially declared to have fallen. The city lord and the commander of the city defense army were killed in battle. Basically difficult to become a climate.

Later, with Clover taking command of Speen, Cecilia's Guards began a city-wide manhunt. And all of this is due to the fact that Saitan City, a border city, only set up two city gates at the beginning for the convenience of control, so except for those residents of Saitan City who escaped from the north gate early in the morning, when After Speyn took down the North City Gate, the entire city of Saitan was actually a prisoner in a urn.

As the work of thoroughly investigating, mopping up, hunting down, and killing the area continued, at dawn the next day, all living resistance forces in the entire city of Saitan had been completely wiped out. All those who are unwilling to surrender and obey the assignment and command will be beheaded by Clover's order - Clover's name of "butcher" is obviously not a joke.

The only difference from the previous situation was that those soldiers who were willing to surrender were not slaughtered by Clover, but were all sent to prison after their weapons were confiscated.

Afterwards, after resting for two days and one night, Clover did not waste time, but ordered Speen to lead the Cecilia Guards to move on.

Because after the previous diplomatic rhetoric requesting military access was completely rejected by the Kingdom of Gness, this all-out war involving the Kingdom of Gness was completely unavoidable. After all, the Kingdom of Gness is a country that believes in the God of Dawn, and they are naturally the most loyal watchdogs of the St. Jors Empire. Facing the Void Empire, which is incompatible with the St. Jors Empire, it is naturally impossible to have any possibility of peace talks .

Therefore, once it is decided that the war will break out, Hela will certainly not give the Kingdom of Ganesh any breathing room.

Especially after the Kingdom of Ganesh dispatched the main army of the entire kingdom to the frontline battlefield, it was even more impossible for Hella to let go of the Kingdom of Ganesh who was so empty in the rear. With the strength of the Expeditionary Force of the Void Empire, after capturing the first border city of the Kingdom of Gness, they can pull up a blocking line to completely prevent the legions of the Kingdom of Gness from leaving the front line and returning to the kingdom's currently empty rear. .

This is also the reason why Hella asked Clover to lead Cecilia's guards to start the vanguard battle.

As for Clover, apart from the problem of not obeying Xiao En, he is actually a very clever military commander. Therefore, he naturally knows how to cooperate with Hela so that Hela's strategic plan can be more likely to succeed and bring greater war benefits to the entire Void Empire.

...

In just seven days, the news of the complete fall of Gness's border quickly spread throughout the surrounding kingdoms.

Although it is one of the three major legions of the God of War Kingdom, the Punisher Legion, but the terrifying combat power of the Void Empire is enough to shake the small and medium kingdoms around the Kingdom of Gness. Especially after Gness, the other two kingdoms listed as the advancing route by the Expeditionary Force of the Void Empire fell into a state of panic. They really wanted to send troops to assist the Kingdom of Genes, but not all the kingdoms adjacent to them were all allied countries that supported the St. Joels Empire.

The intricate and intertwined situation in the Northern Continent is far more complicated than any area controlled by an empire.

However, soon, a piece of new news appeared, which once again shocked all the countries on the entire Miracle Continent.

An unknown super strong man tore through the space barrier and returned from outside the void.

On that day, people in the entire Miracle Continent could clearly see that a huge crack appeared in the southern sky—even people in the North Continent could see that the void opened by this crack was almost As big as a thumbnail, it's not hard to see how big this broken spatial barrier actually is. According to the description of the person closest to the incident, the broken space has a radius of almost one kilometer.

With such a grand and powerful momentum, it is impossible to deceive anyone.

Especially when many people know that the place where this super powerhouse appears is near the Void Empire, it is said that many people are holding the mentality of watching the show.

It's just that this mentality of looking forward to a good show became extremely depressed after a few days.

Because this new super powerhouse is said to have come to deliver a letter for the missing spiritual leader of the Void Empire, Sean Connery. (To be continued.)
