Outside Black Rock City, thirty miles.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a human cavalry of about 100 people galloped out between the sparse trees.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are the leads. Beside Bai Xiaowen, there was also a slender troll hunter riding a velociraptor - he was the target that Bai Xiaowen controlled with the Mind Confusion Charm, and his loyalty was no problem.

Among the knights who followed, except for the elite members of the White Rock Army such as Bernita and Kitts, most of them wore white armor, and the armor had Cecilia's family crest on it.

This cavalry team is composed of carefully selected elites from the White Stone Army and Cecilia Army.

It is worth mentioning that Cecilia did not accompany her. She commanded the remaining infantry and archers of the White Stone, Cecilia, and remained on the walls to defend themselves.

As a leader who specializes in long-range shooting, Cecilia's [Sniper] ability allows her to kill the most threatening rare elite targets in the Remnant Army, and she has the [Motivation] skill that can significantly increase the damage value of her archers.

Given that Cecilia had a greater role in staying behind to defend the city, Bai Xiaowen tried his best to convince her.

Maybe if you don't have it around, the growth of affection will stagnate. However, before Bai Xiaowen figured out the meaning of the degree of affection, it was impossible for him to affect the completion of his main quest because of this unknown benefit.

Just last night, after reporting the information to Prince Nicholas, under Bai Xiaowen's initiative, another elite-level side quest was opened, and then shared with Li Shuyi.

【Surprise Attack Behind Enemy Lines】

[Mission Objective: Destroy at least four rear supply strongholds of the Remnant Coalition Army, and destroy all war materials in the strongholds.] 】

[Mission duration: 24 hours]

【Difficulty: A】

【Reward: Unknown】

It should be noted that this kind of task, if it weren't for Bai Xiaowen's active excavation, would not have appeared. It was he who provided Nicholas with the corresponding intelligence and made that suggestion that the conditions for triggering the mission were met.

Don't underestimate the A-level difficulty of this task, because it has the prefix of "elite"! Compared to the S-level task of "Raid on Le'an" that Bai Xiaowen excavated in the Three Kingdoms Plane World, the difficulty is not much worse.

Last night, after returning to the Black Rock Fortress and avoiding the sight of Cecilia and other plot characters, Bai Xiaowen also opened the golden treasure chest of the green-haired Mohican troll Tedious.

After killing the level 6 boss Tedious, Bai Xiaowen and the two only got a B-level score, and they had two chances to draw. This is because both of them have been promoted to level 4 and are intermediate awakened people.

In these two extractions, the luck was not bad, and a piece of gold equipment was drawn, which was the blood spear used by Tedicius, and the attack power was quite high, but it was a pity that the two of them couldn't use it, so they were temporarily handed over to Li Shuyi.

Another special item that was drawn was a nameplate with crooked text engraved on it. After identification, Bai Xiaowen confirmed the origin of this green-haired Mohican troll - he came from the Bloodspear tribe and was the son of the "Bloodspear Overseer" Khalhan.

For this reason, Li Shuyi also teased, Bai Xiaowen can be regarded as killing his brother (younger brother?) - after all, before entering the Kane Plane World, one of the two cut-in identities was the "Son of the Blood Spear Overseer".

For this little coincidence, Bai Xiaowen didn't care. After the battle of Black Rock began, he led his cavalry to the first supply base of the remnant coalition.

Based on accurate intelligence, Bai Xiaowen's army quickly found the target, and animal skin tents came into view.

"Kill everyone! burn all the food, hides, and if you have enough time, destroy all the equipment you can find!"

Bai Xiaowen shouted loudly. Led by Kitts and four other knights, the cavalry quickly surrounded the stronghold with superb maneuvering speed and rushed into the interior of the camp.

There were bursts of exhortation and cries, accompanied by the curses of the remnants. The blades intersected, the blood spilled, and the originally peaceful stronghold of the remnant army suddenly became a hell on earth.

Five stout orcs rushed out, brandishing their battle axes and launching a counter-charge. However, one of Bai Xiaowen's deterrent skills fixed them all in place, and then his cavalry and summoned creatures swarmed up and hacked the five orcs to death.

After breaking up the resistance of the stronghold, groups of old and weak women and children among the remnants were driven to the open field, about two or three hundred people.

Just like the pre-war intelligence, among the logistics troops in these supply bases, there are remnant children who are dissatisfied with the height of the wheels, although there is horror in their eyes, but more of them are piercing hatred and tyrannical killing intent, and they are still talking about something.

"What are they talking about?" asked Li Shuyi.

Bai Xiaowen understands the language of the relics and can understand it. He couldn't help but shake his head: "It's not for nothing that humans call the remnants of the Northern Sin Domain beasts. Even a kid of this age is shouting that he will kill and eat you all......"

"Your Excellency, the enemies in the entire stronghold have been cleared, what should we do with these captives?" a white-armored knight rode his horse in front of Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen had an impression of this person, one of the three main knights under Cecilia, Tim.

"My order is to kill them all. If you don't have a problem with your hearing, go and execute the order immediately!" Bai Xiaowen said.

"But they're all old and weak, women and children!" Behind Tim, two other white-armored knights, Marco and Phil, also rushed over and questioned.

"That's right, when we were knights, we swore that we would be kind to the weak, brave to the strong, and honest and merciful......" said the three knights.

"Gentlemen, I'm not discussing knightly dogmas with you,"

Bai Xiaowen said coldly, "There is no justice in war, mercy and mercy are the privileges of the strong!"

"Remember our current situation - we are in the rear of the entire remnant coalition of 100 cavalry troops!"

"Not only are we on the weak side, but even the human alliance in Black Rock City is also on the weak side!

"If the Black Rock Fortress falls, all humans will become the souls of the remnants, and even be used as food!"

"However, these have nothing to do with killing the old and weak, women and children, they don't have much combat effectiveness. Bernita said.

"The old and weak women and children in your mouth, every one of them will eat people," Bai Xiaowen said in an indifferent tone, "Do you know how they went all the way south and passed through human villages?"

Bai Xiaowen obtained the fragments of the memories of this controlled troll warrior, including the scene of the Sin Domain Alliance leveling the human village and feeding on humans.

"Our small force, if we want to survive in the rear of the remnant coalition army and complete the mission, keeping our whereabouts secret is the most important criterion!" Bai Xiaowen looked at the knights in silence and said:

"You don't want your hands to be stained with blood, and I don't want to! But, gentlemen, I must make it clear that this is a war, and it is a war of extermination between races, and you can only survive the war of extermination! If you get your hands dirty, you can increase the chances of victory for mankind even a little, and I will not hesitate to do it!"

Bai Xiaowen raised his gun, and a bullet was fired, and an elderly half-orc was shot in the center of his eyebrows, and he fell to the ground on his back.

A wild scream sounded, and more than two hundred remnants, old and weak, women and children, were ignited with wildness in their bones, their eyes were blood-red, and they rushed towards the knights like crazy, and even the youngest child picked up a short spear taller than him and charged desperately.

"Kill!"

Bai Xiaowen shouted the order, so that the human cavalry team in the confusion got the order, raised their weapons one by one, and instinctively rode their horses and slashed and killed.

Soon, blood was pouring from the camp.

The atmosphere in the field was a little silent, and although they were victorious, the knights' expressions were silent, like stone statues. The creed they had adhered to for many years was trampled on, and the painful and distorted feelings in their hearts at this time can be imagined.

However, Bai Xiaowen further ordered that every fallen remnant should be mended with a knife, and no living mouth should be allowed!

"Let Kitts come to them. Li Shuyi glanced at the knights with some reluctance. She and Bai Xiaowen regard the spirit plane as a copy of the game, and the psychological pressure is relatively small—of course, there will also be psychological pressure.

As for Kitts and others, they were originally born as robbers, so they shouldn't care about this kind of thing.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "The whole army, carry out the order!"

The silent knights put down their spears, dismounted, drew their swords, and methodically looked through the corpse-strewn field, and when they saw that there was no death, they mended their swords and killed them completely.

Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and ordered Kitts and the others to pour the prepared grease on the pile of corpses, tents, and grain, and set it on fire.

The fire was accompanied by black smoke rising into the sky.

Bai Xiaowen did not hand over the work of mending the knife to Kitts, but ordered Tim, Marco, Phil and other genuine knights to do it together, and there was a reason. In the rear of this dangerous coalition of remnants, the slightest carelessness will wipe out the entire army. There was no time to slowly do the mental work of these knights, and they had to overcome their moral guilt in the first battle.

The sound of trampling horses' hooves sounded, and the human cavalry rode away, leaving behind only a corpse strewn of burned ruins.

Frontal battlefield.

The main force of the remnant coalition, the orc wolf cavalry and the harpy archer troops, have joined the battlefield.

The Harpy Archers have caused considerable trouble for the Human Combine, and these birdmen flying in the sky, although they can only fly at low altitudes, are much higher than the height of the city walls. Needless to say, the benefits of shooting from a high altitude are needless to say, but if a human archer wants to fight back, he must shoot at an upward angle, with little success.

Fortunately, the strength of the Harpy Archer is low, and the short bow used has much weaker attack power than the standard bow. And Cecilia used sniping and killed several elite harpies one after another, which made these originally unscrupulous birdmen have scruples in their hearts and didn't dare to get too close.

Under the arch of the remnant soldiers, the thunder beast slowly climbed to a distance of 100 meters from the city wall, and the single horn on the tip of its nose began to condense electric light.

Bucket-thick lightning exploded on the city walls and arrow towers, like powerful bombs, and where the lightning struck, the soldiers of the human combined army were charred, and even the city walls and arrow towers made of black rock were loosened and collapsed.

The good news is that the lightning attack of the Thunder Behemoth is terrifying, but the frequency of the attack is relatively slow, and after each lightning strike, it has to regain its breath for a short period of time before it can continue with the next attack.

The human coalition was not idle, the large trebuchet arranged on the city wall began to operate, and the rumbling sound continued to sound, and the large stones of the basin, wrapped in extremely powerful kinetic energy, smashed into those giant beasts.

There were casualties on both sides, and the remnant coalition forces, as the besieging side, suffered heavy casualties.

The Great Chief of the Orcs, the commander of the coalition forces, Absolon, was unmoved, and the vast majority of the dead were half-orcs, just cannon fodder troops.

After paying the casualties, the remnant coalition army has achieved considerable results. By the afternoon, the fierce battle had already uprooted all the twenty-four arrow towers outside Black Rock City. The corpses of countless orcs filled the trenches and piled up into hillocks under the walls.

"Charge, charge!" Absolon roared, urging the giant wolf under his crotch to lead the charge himself.

The remnants of the coalition rushed towards the broken walls in many places.

Momiji Castle, Underground Research Institute.

"Hey, it looks like I'm afraid I won't be able to keep ......" A zombie with a big head, short stature, and blue skin walked in the backyard of the lord's mansion, watching a huge projection screen, and sighed, "It's like this on the first day, and the boss has to keep it for 10 days...... Well, there are six days left, and that's pretty difficult. No wonder he would want to use that crazy idea. ”

On the projection screen, the scene of the defensive battle of the Black Rock Fortress is displayed.

It was Dr. Zombie who came out.

On the side, who is responsible for protecting Dr. Zombie, is Bai Xiaowen's newly promoted housekeeper Harvey, and the combat effectiveness of both of them is scum.

"Mr. Erudito, it's time to let off steam, and it's time for you to work. Harvey said.

"What, I've only been out for less than a minute......" Dr. Zombie indignant.

"Your Excellency says you don't need to rest. Harvey said respectfully, but firmly.

"What do you know!...... Erudito's job is to be inspired, inspiration, you know?" exclaimed Dr. Zombie.

"However, the lord has said that the research work has been completed. What you have been doing now is to supervise and guide the production...... This doesn't require inspiration. "Harvey isn't that easy to fool.

"That guy...... I have already fulfilled all three orders for this month, and I am still being ordered to do so! What kind of orders are advanced for the next month...... Shameless!Rippy!hypocrite!" Dr. Zombie grumbled, grunting.

But complaining is complaining, Dr. Zombie can still recognize the reality, and after venting, he helped his head: "Let's go, go back to the factory...... Without me, those stupid pig-like workers would have messed everything up!"
