Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 926: Night Of Chaos (4)
Late at night, in the mountain city, the lights of every household lit up. The sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the barracks made people unwilling to sleep, and they even boldly pulled three or five neighbors to the streets near the barracks to watch. On a long street far away from the barracks, the rooftops of high and low buildings were gradually filled with people. Everyone looked in the direction of the barracks, where the fire was bright. One could see that the army of Mountain City had formed a battle formation and was fighting with someone.
Not long after, a flood poured out from the barracks. Those inhuman figures constantly reminded people of each other's identities.
"An outsider?"
"Heavens, is that the Devil Cultivator?"
"Look at those big guys. Those are Berserkers."
"Why are these things in Mountain City?"
"Didn't you know? I heard that there was something strange in the Independent Camp. It's true."
"You mean …"
"It's good that you know. Don't say it out loud."
Be widely discussed by.
After the outsider army, the soldiers of Mountain City also split up to chase them out of the barracks. On the battlefield of the barracks, the remaining soldiers surrounded and killed dozens of Berserkers who were in charge of the rear. Almost every few decades in the history of the Bailey Empire, war would break out with the Shadow Duchy. Especially as the empire expanded, such wars became more frequent. Almost all the outsiders in the Shadow Principality were bloodthirsty and easy to kill. Villages and small towns invaded by the Shadow Legion rarely had survivors. Food would be torched, and no matter if it was men, women, or children, they would not be able to escape the slaughtering knives in the hands of outsiders. Moreover, some of the savage outsiders even fed on women and children. Hence, the hatred of humans towards the outsiders was imprinted in their bones. Although they did not know why, when they saw the outsiders flee like stray dogs, the onlookers did not hesitate to cheer to the army of Mountain City.
Gonza hatefully glared at the people who were cheering on the roof of the building. His eyes were filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Tonight's change was unexpected.
The Duchy of Shadows had an agreement with Daniel that the Duchy of Shadows would fund this man and make him a viscount from an unknown commoner. On the other hand, Daniel had to cover up for the invasion of the Shadow Duchy. Among them were some important materials and powerful weapons that would flow into the empire through Daniel, so that some foreign experts could use them immediately after entering the empire secretly, without attracting the attention of the empire in advance.
However, the Shadow Principality had never expected Daniel to die in battle. Moreover, some of the important items, such as the Blood Hidden Saber and the Heart of the Fire God, had been taken away by outsiders. This was undoubtedly a blow to the plans of the Shadow Principality. The Shadow Duchy took a back seat, found Rackett, and re-entered into a contract.
Gonza and his army would be the vanguards of the invasion of the southern border of the empire. Everything was going according to plan. Seeing the winter snow melt, it was the day Shan City sent its troops. At that time, the foreign troops would use Mountain City's troops as cover to quietly invade the empire's territory. When the empire reacted, it would have to take down three or five important territories. With this as a foothold, the Shadow Legion would continue to advance. Just imagine, apart from the strength of an Iron Spear Hoey in the southern region of the Empire, which other Lords would be attracted to?
As for an iron spear Hoey, no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to stop the army of the Principality. At that time, he would be able to occupy the Southern Domain with lightning bolts, so he could sit and look north and south. If they continued to operate step by step, it wouldn't be difficult for them to threaten the northern capital of the empire.
Tonight, however, the plan was about to collapse. First, Rackett and Yopuni were killed, then Remington defected, and then a mysterious expert jumped out from nowhere, leaving Gonza helpless. He could only flee the city with his army. Thinking of this, Gonza's heart ached.
The heartache was naturally that the plan he was about to complete had gone bankrupt for no reason. As for the pain in his body, it was all thanks to the mysterious expert. The two short blades that Gonzalez had used to fight his enemies looked inconspicuous, but they were essentially the quintessence of Gonzalez's body. The special physique of the Blade Demon Cultivator made their bone blades sharper than ordinary blades and swords. Gonza was an expert who had undergone a metamorphosis, and those two short blades were the products of the metamorphosis.
That pair of short blades could easily cut through the metal barrels of the cannons, but it was unable to cut through the saber light of the opponent's saber. In fact, the mysterious expert had even cut through his two blades. The two blades were like an extension of his body, and they were more important parts of his body. Even though Gonzalez's life was still alive, his vitality was greatly damaged. This was also the reason why he didn't dare to receive that person's last saber. Even his two blades were shattered, so what else could he use to receive the other person's saber?
Hatred was hatred, but Gonzalez was helpless. He could only bring his troops out of the city and report this matter to General Andhra, who was in charge of the south invasion. As for the humans who betrayed the contract and Mountain City, they were waiting for Andhra's revenge. Gonza's lips curled into a gloomy smile. That general had always been vindictive. After suffering such a huge loss this time, there was absolutely no reason for him to let go of this mountain city. Gonza had even begun to imagine that after the army captured Mountain City, he would cut off the heads of the humans who had cheered for the army and hang them on the city wall so that they could watch their own city fall.
The city gate was in sight.
The soldiers guarding the city fired a few symbolic shots and quickly retreated, exposing the open city gate to Gonza. Outsider armies poured out from the city gates, and Gonza was among them. Just as they passed through the city gate passageway, a few black threads hung down from the top of the vault and covered Gonza's neck.
Gonzalez suddenly felt a strong sense of danger as he looked at the vault above his head. One could only see a human figure attached to the vault like a gecko, and a few black threads were rapidly closing in on him. Gonzalez screamed as he slashed out with the bone blades in his arms. This pair of bone blades couldn't compare to the short blades between fists, but they were exceptionally sharp. Not to mention the thread, even the armor could be easily torn open. However, when he landed on the black line, he felt a little weak. At this moment, the black line suddenly contracted, pressing down on the bone blade and closing towards Gonza's neck.
Gangsa sneered and exploded with Origin Energy. The two blades split left and right, eventually breaking the black lines. However, after the black line broke, it dissipated, and strands of black gas intertwined with each other, returning to normal in an instant. At this moment, no matter how fast Gonzalez was, he couldn't change things like this. In the end, he was wrapped around his neck by those black threads. The black line suddenly tightened, and Gangsa's skin actually started to flicker with sparks.
The outsider expert's body spun wildly, using his many armored thorns as weapons to cut apart the black lines hanging from the vault. He was furious, but he couldn't care less if he was still in danger. The tip of his foot pressed down on the ground, creating a pit on the ground, and the people bombarded the city gate like cannonballs. The bone blades on his arms swirled and he was about to slash that person when a black mist suddenly exploded around his body. Gonza slashed into the black mist and felt nothing. He had a slight feeling in his heart. He twisted his head and looked outside the city gate. A ball of black mist exploded outside the gate, and the man emerged from the mist. Gonzalez let out an unpleasant laugh. He pressed his hands and feet on the top of the vault and used his strength to pop out of the city gate to kill the human who dared to intercept him.
Belmord smiled slightly. The mist and fire between his arms flourished. He then kneaded the fires into threads and gathered the threads. In the blink of an eye, a hundred black threads were wrapped around his arms. Black threads twisted and twisted like snakes. Belmord's newly born ability, Black Snake, was able to be flexible and resilient as he wished. This was the method he relied on to kill the dozens of riders on the Absolute Shadow Highland. Now that Black Snake was facing Gonza, Belmord quickly drew up a plan of action. Seeing Gonza pouncing towards him, he did not welcome him and instead crashed into the outsider army.
Whether it was colliding with Saber Demon soldiers or other alien beings, Belmord waved his arms. The black snakes on his arms swam and wrapped themselves around them. Once they caught their prey, the black threads snapped and the alien soldiers were instantly dismembered. As Belmord passed, a large wave of blood rose, causing Gonzalo to be extremely enraged. Gonza shouted for the soldiers to stay away from the human, and he also crashed into him.
For a moment, Gonzalez could not see Belmord. He could only see waves of blood exploding from time to time in the crowd, or limbs thrown up. He kept cursing the human in his heart as he tried to move in Belmord's direction.
But he didn't know that Belmord was a killer, not a warrior. Killers never faced their enemies head-on. While Belmord was attacking ordinary soldiers to attract Gonza's attention, he secretly split out a few black snakes and swept them towards the ground. The Black Snake swiftly circled around the outsider soldier's body and swam to Gonza's side, suddenly wrapping around his legs. When Gonzalez noticed, the black snake pulled him back and threw him to the ground. Belmord immediately rushed forward, dived into a ball of exploded black mist, and instantly arrived at Gonza's head.
The two-armed black snakes shot out, and black lines twisted together in midair, appearing like short cones. Two short black cones pierced into Gonza's chest. Gonza shouted loudly, waving his arms left and right as he opened the short cone. The man bounced and broke the black string around his feet, then grabbed Belmord with both of his hands. Belmord smiled and slid back. The short cone scattered into thousands of black snakes. The black snakes wrapped around Gonzalez's arms. The latter felt as if his hands were wrapped in countless fine blades, and every second, his hands were torn open by a hundred wounds.
The black snake shrank and wrapped itself around Gonza. Belmord shook his hands and lifted Gonza into the air from the crowd. Gonza looked down at Belmord and was about to retaliate. Suddenly, a red light lit up at the corner of his eyes, and his soul instantly dissipated. He only saw the red light coming from above the city gate, and then everything was over.
When Remington rode his horse out of the city gate, he happened to see a scarlet saber light rising from the city gate and hovering in the air like a resplendent red rainbow amongst the outsider soldiers. Following that, a ravine split open on the ground, rumbling into the distance, outlining the trajectory of this slash, causing Remington's heart to beat rapidly.
The saber Qi surged for a thousand meters, causing a series of thunderous rumbles. Wherever the scarlet rainbow passed, the outsider soldiers turned their horses upside down, and countless people fell into the ravine that had been slashed by a type of lightning. At the end of the ravine, Alan raised his saber and landed on the ground. The blood on Red King instantly evaporated, and a head fell from mid-air and rolled under the knife.
Gonzalez's eyes were wide open, his expression forever fixed on the moment before he died.
