Chapter 84 The End Is Near
After hearing Cook's warning, there was a commotion among the gathered contractors, but they still seemed to have no intention of retreating.
After the commotion lasted for a while, a charming woman with a graceful figure walked out of the contractor group. She was the most charming person among all the people.
The woman walked to the front of the team, spread her hands to Cook, smiled softly, and indicated that she was not a threat. Then she spoke softly:
"General, we have no ill intentions, we just want to leave the city. We can guarantee that during this time in the Holy Heaven, we have never done anything that violated the laws of the imperial capital or infringed on the interests of the imperial capital. Why should the general kill us?"
Cook looked at the woman in front of him with an indifferent expression. The high-attribute charm seemed to have no effect on him.
"I said, leave!"
This time the warning was shorter. The charming expression on the woman's face froze, and then quickly returned to normal. When she was about to say something else, she suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.
After noticing that Cook on the opposite side had already grasped the spear, she immediately stopped talking and retreated with a smirk.
"General, don't be angry, I'll leave now, I'll leave now."
Under Cook's cold gaze, the woman slowly retreated back to the crowd. As soon as she returned to the crowd, her smirk immediately turned into anger. She waved her hand towards Cook in front of her, and a beam of pink light flew out immediately. The soft tone disappeared, and instead, a fierce scolding appeared.
"The Guards Knights are so great, but they dare to be mean to me. If you don't give us a way to live, then we'll fight to the death!"
"Looking for death!"
Facing the incoming beam, Cook snorted coldly and threw the spear in his hand. The spear turned into a white light, first shattering the pink beam, and then stabbed towards the position of the woman in the opposite crowd.
"Dang!"
As soon as the spear came close, it was bounced away by a shield that was slapped horizontally. The contractor holding the shield took a few steps back, looked at Cook in surprise, stood still, and shouted.
"Since negotiation is useless, then force your way in and kill!"
The sound of killing suddenly rose, and all kinds of attacks flew out from the group of contractors, overwhelming the Knights guarding the city wall.
"Defend!" "Throw!"
Cook's orders spread one after another, and dozens of priests raised their short-handled staffs and deployed a protective shield to block all attacks.
Then hundreds of short spears shot out, splashing blood in the group of contractors, but fortunately, most of the contractors in the front row were melee or tanks, and after spending some effort, they also blocked most of the short spears, and the number of casualties was not large.
The battle became fierce in an instant, but the Knights were all defensive counterattacks, and did not take the initiative to attack, so the battle slowly fell into a stalemate, groups of contractors attacked in waves, but were repelled in waves, and this situation was not only on the west wall, but also on all four walls, but the scale here was the largest.
While the two sides were in a stalemate, at the back of the battlefield, the sound of horse hooves like thunder gradually became clearer. The contractors at the back heard the noise and turned their heads immediately, and saw a torrent of steel rushing in the smoke and dust with a monstrous murderous aura.
"Throw!"
The whistling sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and nearly a hundred short spears were first inserted into the battlefield, causing a bloody storm behind the contractors in the back. There were no large numbers of soldiers and tanks in this direction.
"Fall!"
The killing of the short spears had just stopped, and the sky full of thunderclouds began to emerge above the crowd, rolling, and a few crackling thunders exploded in the sky, followed by countless thunders dancing wildly, and the dazzling lightning illuminated the entire section of the city wall, and the screams of the contractors were also heard at the same time as the lightning.
Under the lightning chain that continued to spread and burst, nearly one-third of the contractors fell into a state of paralysis, and fell straight to the ground. Under the attack from both sides, the originally orderly attack quickly fell into chaos. The contractors in the front row could not care about attacking the wall in front of them, and turned back one after another, but they collided with the crowd rushing up from the back, and became a mess.
When the other side fell into chaos, Xu Yue finally rushed to the front of the crowd, swung the long halberd in his hand, and a large piece of blood and flesh gushed out. The wailing and crying were crushed by the roar of the iron hooves. Once the cavalry started to charge, the corpses would be turned into mud.
The whole cavalry team rolled out surging blood and water in the crowd like a steamroller. Xu Yue was the first to lead the cavalry team. There were continuous bullets, bows and arrows, flames and frost rushing towards him, but most of them were smashed by a halberd in his hand. The few that missed and hit him also seemed so powerless in the face of the extreme defense, causing only some painless damage.
Along with the various attacks, all the bodies that blocked the way were also smashed. With the power of the warhorse charging, he brought the shattering effect of the Fang Tian Hua Ji to its extreme. The blood mist that kept bursting left and right was pulled into long strips by him. In the eyes of the contractors facing him, the knight in front of him seemed like a nightmare from the abyss.
The tall warhorse with strong armor was spewing sparks from its mouth and nose. On it was a silver demon wielding a weapon in the swirling blood mist, with purple flames roaring in its eyes and a wide cloak condensed from blood dragging behind it.
"Roar!!"
Xu Yue, who had already rushed to the center of the crowd, roared, and the surging air waves exploded with sound waves, suppressing the noise of the entire battlefield. All the contractors around him flew out in all directions mixed with the smoke and dust on the ground under the impact, clearing a large open space in the center of the battlefield.
Xu Yue reined in his horse in the middle of the open space, with the upper body of his warhorse raised high. After a neigh, he dropped his iron hoof to the ground. The knights behind him followed from behind, and divided into two balanced teams with Xu Yue as the center, killing the scattered contractors on the left and right sides.
Xu Yue stood in place and looked around. After nodding to Cook not far ahead, he drove his horse back to slaughter again.
At the crack in the wall, Cook's tense body relaxed after seeing Xu Yue turn around. After he exhaled, he realized that his palm holding the spear was full of sweat.
The might of Xu Yue's wanton killing in the crowd just now not only frightened his opponents, but also Cook, who was watching the battle from a distance, felt a chill like a venomous snake wrapped around his heart, and even breathing became a little uncomfortable.
"I underestimated him before. Can Lord Bethcode really control such a person?"
Cook fell into deep thought, while Xu Yue's killing never stopped. A mess of scattered infantry could only be trampled into blood foam when facing a hundred knights in an organized manner. Fighting, they could not win, and running, they were even more impossible opponents.
Ten minutes later, only running horses were left on the battlefield. All the contractors on the scene were killed. The only evidence that they had ever existed was the pools of blood and flesh on the ground that were trampled into mud by horses' hooves.
After the battle, Xu Yue said hello to Cook, and then led the cavalry to the next battlefield surrounded by the feast fire. This night has come to an end, and it is time to end this battle royale.
