Chapter 365: Bloody Night

It is a mountain snake common in the Deep Blue Mountains, and its yellow-brown body makes it almost impossible to spot when hiding in the cracks of the stones. But now, the snake, which was supposed to stay in the mountains, appeared on the wall and swam silently towards the soldiers on duty.

Nearly every soldier on night duty was targeted by a snake, which may have been of different species, but had a surprisingly consistent purpose, as if they had received the same order.

Soldier Sam's eyelids were too heavy to lift, he was a young hunter. However, in this conscription/campaign in Storm City, it was inevitable that he would be forcibly recruited into the army, and after more than a month of training, he was sent to Storm City like everyone else. Sam's last thing to do was to go home, but for now, he could only stand on the wall as tired as the rest of the soldiers, waiting for the night to pass.

In the darkest hours before dawn, the Sandman lures him to sleep. Seeing that Sam was about to give up his resistance and let himself fall asleep, something suddenly passed by him. He barely opened his eyes, but suddenly he didn't feel sleepy. In the firelight, he could clearly see a snake with its head held up, and on its triangular head, two eyeballs were glinting with a cold light.

Sam wanted to scream, but the snake suddenly reached at him like lightning. The snake sniffed wide open and bit the soldier's throat. Sam reached out to tear the snake away, but it was wrapped around his neck and tightened, preventing the soldier from breathing fresh air. And the more he struggled, the more the faster-flowing blood sent the venom that the snake had injected into his body to his heart.

The soldier's face began to turn blue, and he finally struggled powerlessly. One stumbled, and fell down from the wall with the serpent. At the same time, several guards on the guard wall were not spared, and they were unsuspectingly strangled and poisoned by the sudden appearance of poisonous snakes.

Alan immediately made a gesture, and the army left the mountain forest and quickly passed through the wilderness. A fishy wind suddenly set off in the mountains and forests, and two clouds of yellow light appeared in the darkness of the forest. Shiro swam out of the mountains and forests as quickly as the serpent's body appeared near the army, and everyone was shocked by its massive body and demonic scales.

The king snake swam up behind Eren and arched his head to let Eren ride on top of it. Then it accelerated, like a high-speed train through the wilderness, sending Eren to the city. Bai raised his head and had already crossed more than half the height of the guard wall. The rest of the height was no help to Allen, and with a bent knee, he jumped directly over the wall and landed lightly on top of the guard.

Belmode was the second person to approach the wall, and he jumped three or four meters without a king snake. A chain blade shot out of the sleeve, hooked onto the wall, and swung upward, and Belmode landed on the wall with ease.

At this time, a voice was heard from under the city gate, but it was the soldiers who heard it came to check. A few flickering torches made them the most striking targets, and Allen and Belmode threw themselves off the wall without saying a word. After a few screams, the torches were extinguished. Alan walked back to the city gate with Qian Jun in his hand, and opened the gate a moment later. Roy immediately rushed in from outside the city with his soldiers, and Alan pointed in the direction of the barracks, and the big man understood, leading the soldiers towards the barracks in Storm City.

Eren ordered the Mountain King's troops, plus Belmode and Regers to form a team. The team burrowed into the vast night of Storm City and forced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Eventually, Lucy and Adele led the flaming soldiers to take control of the wall and push several carts of cannonballs from the warehouse. As a result, the two repeating guns on the head of the city are in a state of readiness to fire at any time.

Some residents began to notice that the atmosphere in the city was not right, especially the refugees who were stranded in the city, and they hid under the eaves of their houses, or spent the night in some of the remote alleys, and even more easily noticed that Allen and the others were outsiders. When they saw their swords and the iron warhammer that could smash their heads lightly, the people chose to be silent.

No one wanted to be killed by their careless words, so the adults covered the children's mouths tightly, and everyone retreated to the deepest part of the corner as much as possible to avoid attracting attacks.

But a few minutes later, a fire fainted in the direction of the barracks, followed by sporadic weapons clashing and screams. They seemed so abrupt in the silent night that even a few guards of the City Lord's Mansion who had already dozed off noticed the anomaly.

Maud was still asleep in his bedroom, next to his recently found lover. He wasted a lot of energy on this young, energetic woman tonight. The night was dark, and Maud was dreaming. A sudden knock on the door woke him up, his chest heaving violently, he cursed and yelled at the door, "Crazy? What time is it now, and what will happen tomorrow! ”

After that, I want to embrace the beauty and then sleep.

The guard outside the door hurriedly said, "My lord, the barracks have been attacked. We're under attack! ”

"What?" Maud jumped to her feet and threw herself at the window. The heavy curtain was opened, and suddenly, the firelight outside the window jumped into his eyes. The direction of the barracks was already in flames, and the low-hanging night was also reflected in the corner, as if the waves of fire were about to lick the sky, and Maude was horrified to see it.

Everything was connected at this moment, and Maude muttered, "We have been tricked, what kind of thugs are the bandits, it turns out that they are trying to lure our main force away." Damn it! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gunfire sounded downstairs, and Maude's face changed, obviously the other party had attacked the City Lord's Mansion.

It came so fast!

"Armor!" Maud said with a gloomy face.

The battle outside the City Lord's Mansion was short and fierce, and several guards fired at Alan and the others who were attacking from the front of the street from a distance. The warrior of the Mountain King immediately rushed forward, forming a barrier with his shield. The steel barrier quickly pressed forward, and when it was still a few meters away from the guards, a dozen or so warriors of the Mountain King jumped out from behind the iron curtain, and they protected the key points with shields, and rushed forward with fine iron war hammers, and engaged the guards in hand-to-hand combat.

By the time Alan and Belmode reached the gate, the battle was over. Behind the gate was a square, and the main building behind the small square was dark, as if the people inside did not know what had happened outside. Alan nodded to Belmode, who silently burrowed into the darkness and vanished. Only then did Alan raise his voice and shout: "Baron Maude, I know you're inside, come out!" ”

The lights in the lobby of the main building suddenly turned on, and a figure appeared in the firelight. Maud was dressed in polished knight's armor and carried a two-handed greatsword in his hand. The sword body is engraved with graceful lines and curves, and is inlaid with gorgeous gemstones, making Maude look noble and solemn. In contrast, Allen, who only carried an inconspicuous black knife, was as poor as a hillbilly.

However, under the shape in front of him, Maude's luxury has a faint taste of the end of the road.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I know you, knight of Sur City. How dare you attack Storm City, do you know that under the Imperial Constitution, such behavior is not allowed! ”

"Lord Baron, you and I both know that the Empire's constitution is binding, and it is difficult to reach this frontier land. Otherwise, how could you have attacked my Sur City with such fanfare before? Alan shook his head and smiled, "And now, what we do." According to the aristocracy, it was just a reasonable revenge. Don't say that the Imperial Constitution can't control this, even if this matter goes into trouble in the Imperial House. You should be aware that we are not breaking certain rules. ”

"Whatever you think, Lord Sir. The current situation is that your main force cannot save the fire from far water. As for your barracks, you should be charged by us now. So you see, you don't have any chance of winning. Your best bet is to surrender! ”

"Fart!" Maude sneered: "I have another choice, and that is to kill you!" ”

Alan said secretly: I want you to do this.

If Maud did surrender, it would be a headache for him. Because if he still forcibly kills Maude at that time, this matter will greatly violate the bottom line that the imperial nobles can tolerate, and in addition to attracting criticism, it will also attract the intervention of the imperial military department. But if they don't kill, according to the rules of the game among the nobles of the empire, Maude only needs to pay a ransom, even if he gives up part of the territory to Sur City, then Alan and the others will have to retreat.

In this way, the entanglement between the two sides will be endless, and it is better to take the initiative to challenge Maude now, but you can take the opportunity to fight and kill, and you will have a hundred.

Maud himself is a level 17 knight, and now the source power is coming out of his body, and the dazzling flame, coupled with the armor of full armament, also has a bit of the taste of the regeneration of the god of war. Eren made a gesture to tell the Sanwang warrior not to act rashly. This unit has no problem dealing with enemies of the same level, and even individual strong people who are one or two levels higher can be defeated by relying on joint tactics.

But Maude's level is too much higher than that of the Mountain King, even if it is theoretically possible to use the crowd tactic to kill Maude, but after all, the sacrifice is too great. Now there are only about thirty warriors left in the mountain king, and one less one is dead, and Alan cherishes it very much.

Maude saw the Mountain King warrior retreat, and on the vacant field, Alan and another sword-wielding boy looked particularly dazzling. He snorted and ignored Allen, who clearly planned to have a two-on-one. At that moment, the great sword was raised, and the baron rushed towards the field with the light flame of the source power all over his body, like a meteor. The source force wrapped around the greatsword, and the greatsword slashed away, and the sword momentum immediately enveloped both Eren and Regess.

Alan smiled faintly, facing the vast sword momentum attacked by Maude. The Qianjun blade in his hand was dyed with its own rippling red light, and the heavy knife bounced up, turning into a black lightning and heading straight for Maude, like a black tide in the storm, counterattacking.

As for Regess, he pressed his toes to the ground, and after the man had flashed, he instantly broke away from Maud's sword momentum. The iron slashing sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and with a sword roar, it turned into a flash of light that pierced the night and soared towards Maude.

Suddenly, Maud was attacked on both sides. R1058
