Chapter 17: Slash - Whirlwind Dance
"You've earned the 'Mark of Killing'! ……”
"Mark of Killing: After a long career in battle, you have proven your abilities to Caligula with your prowess and the heads of warriors that can pile up into a mountain, and you have managed to capture Caligula's attention......"
"Strength +1, Critical Hit +1, "Killing" Knowledge Points +30, and experience points can be increased by ......"
"Caligula is watching you, kill more to get more rewards."
Touching the mark on his hand, the touch of his fingertips transmitted a fiery sensation, such a result is not unexpected by the night, as a warlike and murderous god, as long as he kills enough life, he can gain the attention of this god.
As early as in the gladiatorial arena, he harvested a thousand lives, and he was not an ordinary civilian, but a professional with a professional level, and although his general strength was low, there were enough of them to make the gods who liked to kill notice him.
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to complete the killing of a thousand people, and only a monster like Cangye can do it.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Needless to say, the bad thing is that once you die in battle, your soul will be dragged into the kingdom of God by Caligula's attendants, and you will have to fight for Caligula for the rest of your life.
In the same way, Caligula can naturally give himself a gift, and naturally he can take back this gift, and he has to perform a sacrifice ceremony every year on the god's birthday, with enough soul to sacrifice to this moody god.
Cangye did not feel distressed by this, in the database of "Anpoque", there are no less than a hundred ways to deceive God, of course, it is impossible to do it in this plane, you must leave and go to the higher plane.
……
After killing the eldest prince, Cangye flexibly peeled off the dragon scale armor on the other party's body, and poured blood on the armor, and in an instant, a bloody light appeared, and a terrifying roar was heard.
Item Name: ?? of the armor
Item Type: Half Shoulder Armor (4.5 lbs, Cloth Armor)
Item Level: First Order Enchanted Armament
Item description: A powerful creature suspected of being a dragon accidentally came to the lower plane, passed down the bloodline and three types of equipment made of its own scales, skin and minions, each of which is a first-order enchanted weapon, and after integration, it is a fifth-order enchanted suit.
Restrictions on use: Constitution 4, blood limit
Equipment Effect: Defensive Armor Level 4, Crossbow Arrow Hard-Wounded, Weak Flame Protection (Sealed), Weak Poison Protection (Sealed)
Enchanted equipment is an upgraded version of excellent equipment, every ten levels is one level, enchanted equipment is the standard equipment for powerful supernatural professionals and third-order supernatural professionals, and it is just a waste to wear it now.
After achieving his goal, Cangye casually cut the body of the eldest prince and threw it into the swamp, and soon a crocodile swam to feast on it, and the bloody water stained the muddy swamp red.
The war horse has already run away without a trace at this moment, and there is no time to track it in the night, and his whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later, so it is better to leave as soon as possible during this time.
Nights left the hunting ground as fast as they could, and after half an hourglass, several hounds found the eldest prince's frightened warhorse, and led by the warhorse, found the swamp where the eldest prince's body sank.
The news soon reached the royal palace, and King Antioch was both grieved and outraged to learn that the kingdom's best heir had died in such a tragic manner.
All the wild beasts and slaves of the hunting grounds were put to death, and a nationwide search for the prisoners was ordered.
Night's plan seems to be meticulous, but in fact there are still loopholes, the royal family found the hotel where Cangye once stayed, and found the merchant along the way, no matter how you look at it, only Cangya has such strength and suspicious whereabouts.
All the way to the east, the night has come to the border of the kingdom of Antioch near the eastern desert.
The speed of the night is fast, but the kingdom of Antioch has a way of transmitting messages from the east. The harrier eagle sent the news, and the former oriental aristocracy liked this kind of message transmission, but in the wider and safer inland areas, most of them used pigeons to send news, and in the harsh desert areas, only the fierce harrier eagle could adapt to such an environment and not be disturbed by other birds of prey.
Holding the camel, I saw a long queue in front of the checkpoint in the distance, even if it was a convoy of big merchants, otherwise according to the unspoken rules of the upper level, a large convoy like this would have a special passage.
The death of the prince of the kingdom had a far more serious impact than Cangye had imagined. Although the king had more than ten sons, only the eldest prince was really good, so the king could not forgive the murderer.
The life that has been lost should be let him pass, and it is just a waste to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to get revenge.
Cangye still can't understand the thoughts of human beings, and now, without this level, he can't do without the Kingdom of Antioch, so he can only break through.
……
The guards lazily checked everyone who was ready to leave the city.
Beyond the kingdom of Antioch is the vast desert known as Canaan, where there was a long time ago, but now it is long gone, leaving only a group of Canaanites entrenched in the ruins of the kingdom.
Canaan was the only way to the East, and most of the caravans were prepared to leave the city, and silk, porcelain, tea, spices, and slaves from the Eastern world were the bestsellers of the Western Continent, and among these goods, slaves were the most precious, especially those who mastered special crafts.
Silk weaving and porcelain firing all require craftsmen, and many caravans are responsible for the state, so as to capture as many artisan slaves as possible and bring them to the Western Continent, so that they do not have to travel a long way to the East every time.
At the same time, with the conquest of the Eastern Kingdom by the Blood Alliance, a long corridor across the east and west is being built, called the Road of Seris, which is the "silk" in the Western Continent.
From Antioch to Canaan to the Eastern Realm, twenty military towns have been built along the way, as well as nearly fifty trade towns, and in the past hundred years, only seven medium-sized city-states have been built, and the enclaves ruled by satraps sent by the Blood Alliances.
Due to the backwardness of the means of information transmission, the governors who rule the enclaves are all for life, and some countries are even hereditary, and it is rare to receive a summons from the motherland in the past year, so as long as the night leaves the checkpoint and enters the Canaan region, the kingdom of Antioch must send a cavalry team of nearly 5,000 people if it wants to chase and kill, and the king's anger is temporary, as long as he calms down, it seems a little unrealistic to ask him to pay such a big price to avenge a dead man.
"Hey! It's your turn! ”
The guard pushed the night impatiently.
"Take the mask off!"
Cangye pretended to take off his mask while quickly surveying the surrounding city defenses.
There were two groups of crossbowmen and two groups of archers on the city wall, numbering about four hundred; There were four infantry guards at the city gate, six teams at a distance of five hundred meters, three hundred Antioch rangers on the left, a total of nearly 2,000 garrisons within a kilometer, and a total of 17,000 troops from the Antioch garrison on the eastern border.
A map of the city's defense was quickly presented in the mind of the night.
Seeing that the other party was indifferent, the guard was a little annoyed, and when he was about to teach the other party some lessons, Cangye quickly drew his knife.
The gem set in the hilt of the scimitar dazzled the guard's eyes for a moment, and the next moment, his neck had been sliced open, and the blood was delayed for two or three seconds before splattering out.
And at this moment, four soldiers had died at his hands from the time Cangye went from the violent murder to the time he rode a camel and forcibly broke through the level.
"Enemy attack!"
A sharp horn sounded, and the arrows on the city wall flew down, but when they touched the night, they were strangely bounced away, and even the crossbow arrows could not work.
However, the night is not comfortable, although the dragon scale armor claims to be able to defend against the shot of crossbow arrows, but the impact force cannot be removed, just like body armor.
Two or three rounds of arrows rained down, and Cangye accumulated 20 points of damage, and the camel under the crotch was also hit by several arrows, but it did not receive much damage under Cangye's interception.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the Antioch rangers had already charged, and the desert horses were much faster than camels.
After chasing for more than ten minutes in a row, seeing that the checkpoint was no longer visible, the night turned, the scimitar was withdrawn, and the anti-scale war saber was held with one hand and rushed into the cavalry group.
At this moment, Cangye almost turned into a killing machine, and the combination of extremely calm reason, unwavering will, and far more computing power than ordinary people expounded, and the explosion of deterrence was enough to make people tremble.
Every two seconds pass, a rider is cut off. Night's form had completely detached itself from the camel, and it walked through the cavalry like a ghost, its strength bursting to the limit, and it waved its scales despite the tearing muscles.
"Beheaded!"
"Cut in half!"
"Heavy split!"
"Cross Slash!"
Yue Yue's skillful swordsmanship allowed Cangye to comprehend two advanced combat skills in a few rounds of blows, namely [Heavy Slash] and [Cross Slash].
[Cross Slash] is a wide-ranging sweeping sword attack, and the night can kill at least twelve horsemen in a split second.
This time, however, the enemy was a formidable regular army, outnumbered, morale-driven, and cooperative, and the battle lasted for several minutes, with Night's physical fitness significantly declining and the accumulation of injuries on his body increasing. Finally, the first critical point was reached, and the skill of [Fight to the Death] was activated autonomously.
When he was dying, he counterattacked, and seven or eight horsemen were instantly beheaded by Cang Ye.
"Come on, little cubs, he's dying!"
The cavalry commander shouted excitedly. Although there have been a lot of casualties, as long as he can kill the other party, he can hope to become an official and become a knight.
The growing severity of the injuries did not affect Night's thinking.
The scimitar is unsheathed again, and the attack speed decreases with dual wielding, but the killing efficiency increases considerably, until the health drops to the second critical point, and the ability to fight to the death is increased again.
After nearly twenty minutes of fighting, more than 100 horsemen had already lost their lives in the hands of Night. The mortality rate was more than a third, and morale had dropped significantly, and everyone looked at the night in horror, not like they were looking at people, but like looking at a monster.
The cavalry commander was afraid, but the desire to become a knight forced him to command his soldiers to attack again and again, fear and longing were intertwined, and at the same time, Cangye's health was less than 20 points left.
19/89 [Life is in danger]
After triggering the last tipping point, Nightnight directly adds all the experience points to the Sword Fighter class.
"Consume 800 XP! ……”
"Spend 1 Potential Point! ……”
"Sword Fighter Level Up ......"
"HP +15, gain 1...... attribute points"
"Unlock the skill [Slash - Whirlwind Dance]."
