Chapter 285 Blood-Stained Hands (Two in One)

Outside Heiyan City, thirty miles away.

The dense sound of horse hooves sounded, and a human cavalry team of about a hundred people galloped out among the sparse trees.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are the leaders. Beside Bai Xiaowen, there was a slender troll hunter riding a raptor - he was the target Bai Xiaowen controlled with the Charm, and his loyalty was no problem.

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

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

It is worth mentioning that Cecilia did not accompany him. She led the White Stone Army, the remaining infantry and archers of Cecilia's Army, and stayed on the wall for defense.

As a leader who is good at 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 [Inspiration] skill, which can significantly increase the damage value of the archers under her command. .

In view of the greater role of Cecilia in staying to defend the city, Bai Xiaowen tried his best to persuade her.

Perhaps without being around, the growth of the affection will stagnate. However, it is impossible for Bai Xiaowen to affect the completion of his main quest because of this unknown benefit before he understands the meaning of the degree of devotion.

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

【A surprise attack behind the enemy】

[Mission goal: Destroy at least four rear supply bases of the Remnant Allied Forces, and destroy all war materials in the bases. 】

[Task duration: 24 hours]

[Task difficulty: A]

[Quest Reward: Unknown]

It should be noted that this kind of task would not have occurred if Bai Xiaowen hadn't actively excavated it. It was he who provided Nicholas with the corresponding information and made this suggestion, which fulfilled the conditions for triggering the mission.

Don't underestimate the A-level difficulty of this task, because it has the prefix "Elite"! Compared with Bai Xiaowen's S-level task of "raid on Le'an" in the world of the Three Kingdoms, the difficulty is not much less.

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 moxican troll Tedius.

After killing the Level 6 leader Tedius, Bai Xiaowen only got a B-level score, and they had two chances to draw. This is because both of them have risen to level 4 and are intermediate-level awakeners.

These two draws were pretty good, and I got a piece of gold equipment, the blood spear used by Tedius, which had a very high attack power, but unfortunately the two of them couldn't use it, so I gave it to Li Shuyi for the time being.

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

For this reason, Li Shuyi also made fun of it. Bai Xiaowen killed his brother (brother?) - after all, before entering the plane world of Kane, one of the two cut-in identities drawn was "the son of the blood spear governor". .

Bai Xiaowen didn't care about this little coincidence. After the battle of Black Rock City, he led the cavalry to the first supply point of the Remnant Alliance Army.

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

"Kill everyone! Burn all the food, animal skins, and if you have enough time, destroy all the equipment you can find!"

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

There were bursts of exclamations and cries, accompanied by curses in the language of the survivors. The swords intersected, blood splattered, and the originally peaceful remnant army stronghold suddenly became a hell on earth.

Five burly orcs rushed out,

Swinging a battle axe launched a counter-charge. However, a deterrent skill of Bai Xiaowen fixed them all in place, and then his cavalry and summoned creatures swarmed up and hacked the five orcs to death.

After disintegrating the resistance of the stronghold, groups of old and weak women and children among the survivors were driven to the open space, about two or three hundred people.

Just like the pre-war information, in the logistics army of these supply bases, there are remnants of children who are dissatisfied with the height of the wheel. Although their eyes are terrified, they are more biting hatred and tyrannical killing intent, and their mouths are still What are you saying.

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

Bai Xiaowen understands the remnant language and can understand it. He couldn't help shaking his head: "Humans call the remnants of the Northern Sinland beasts for no reason. Even such a big child is clamoring to kill you all and eat them all..."

"Lord, all the enemies in the entire stronghold have been eliminated, what should I do with these prisoners?" A white armored knight drove his horse to Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen has an impression of this person, one of the three main knights under Cecilia's command, Tim.

"My order is to kill them all. If there is no problem with your hearing, go and execute the order immediately!" Bai Xiaowen said.

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

"That's right, when we were named knights, we swore to treat the weak with kindness, to face the strong with integrity, and to be merciful..." The three knights said each and every word.

"Gentlemen, I am not discussing the dogma of knighthood with you,"

Bai Xiaowen said coldly, "There is no justice in war. Kindness and compassion are the privilege of the strong!"

"Remember our current situation - we are a cavalry team of only 100 people, harassing the rear of the entire Remnant Coalition Army!"

"Not only are we the weak side, but even the human coalition in Black Rock City is the weak side! Do you still want to give away your excess mercy at this time?"

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

"However, these have nothing to do with killing old and weak women and children. They don't have much fighting power." Bonita said.

"Every one of the old, weak, women and children in your mouth will eat people," Bai Xiaowen said indifferently, "Do you know how they do it all the way south, passing through human villages?"

Bai Xiaowen obtained the memory fragments of this controlled troll warrior, including the scene of the allied forces in the sin area razing human villages and feeding humans.

"Our small force, if we want to survive in the rear of the Remnant Allied Forces and complete the mission, the confidentiality of whereabouts is the most important criterion!" Bai Xiaowen looked at the silent knights and said:

"You don't want your hands to be stained with blood, and I don't want to! But, gentlemen, I have to make it clear that this is war, and it is between races. Dirty hands can increase the odds of a human being even a little bit, and I will do it without hesitation!"

Bai Xiaowen raised his gun, and a bullet was fired, an old orc's brow hit, and he fell to the ground.

A burst of mad screams sounded, more than 200 survivors, old and weak, women and children, the wildness in their bones was ignited, their eyes were blood red, and they rushed towards the knights like crazy, even the youngest child was picked up. The short spear charged desperately.

"kill!"

Bai Xiaowen's loud shout gave the bewildered human cavalry an order to raise their weapons one by one, and instinctively drove their horses to slash.

Soon, blood was everywhere in the camp.

The atmosphere in the field was a little silent. Although they were victorious, the expressions of the knights were silent, like stone statues. The creed that they have held to for many years has been trampled, and the pain and distortion in their hearts at this time can be imagined.

However, Bai Xiaowen further ordered that every survivor who fell to the ground should be filled with a knife, and no survivors will be allowed!

"Let Kitts and the others come." Li Shuyi glanced at the knights with some reluctance. She and Bai Xiaowen regard the plane of the spiritual world as a copy in the game, and the psychological pressure is relatively small - of course, there will be psychological pressure.

As for Kitts and others, they were originally from robbers, so they shouldn't care about such things.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "All the army, execute the order!"

The silent knights put down their lances, dismounted from their horses, drew their swords, and looked through the field where the corpses were littered with corpses.

Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and ordered Kitts and others to dump the prepared grease on the corpse piles, tents and grain piles and set them on fire.

The fire burst into the sky with black smoke.

There is a reason why Bai Xiaowen did not hand over the repair work to Kitts, but ordered Tim, Marco, Phil and other real knights to do it together. In the rear of this dangerous remnant coalition army, the slightest carelessness will cause the entire army to be annihilated. There is no time to slowly do the thought work of these knights, who must be made to overcome their moral guilt in the very first battle.

The sound of hoofs rang out, and the human cavalry team sped away, leaving only a corpse all over the ground, the burned ruins.

frontal battlefield.

The main force of the Remnant Coalition, the Orc Wolf Cavalry and Harpy Archer units, have joined the battlefield.

The harpies caused considerable trouble to the combined human army. Although these birdmen flying in the sky could only fly at low altitudes, they were also much higher than the city walls. Needless to say, the benefits of condescending shooting, but human archers want to counterattack, but they must shoot at an angle, with little success.

Fortunately, the strength of the harpy archer is low, and the short bow used is much weaker than the standard bow. And Cecilia used sniping to kill several elite harpies one after another, which made this group of unscrupulous bird people have scruples in their hearts and did not dare to get too close.

The thunder behemoth slowly climbed to within 100 meters of the city wall under the guard of groups of remnant soldiers, and the single horn on the tip of the nose began to condense electric light.

Lightning bolts of the thickness of buckets exploded on the city walls and arrow towers, like powerful bombs. Wherever the lightning struck, the soldiers of the Human Union Army became coke, even the city walls and arrow towers made of black rocks. All fell apart.

The good news is that the lightning attack of the thunder behemoth is terrible, but the frequency of the attack is relatively slow. After each lightning strike, it takes a short period of time to recover before the next attack.

The human coalition army was not idle either. The large trebuchets placed on the city walls started to operate, and the rumbling sounds continued one after another. The stones the size of the washbasin, wrapped in incomparably powerful kinetic energy, smashed into those giant beasts.

Both sides suffered casualties, and the Allied Forces of the Remnants, as the siege party, suffered even more casualties.

The Orc Chieftain, the commander-in-chief of the coalition, Abu Solon, was unmoved by this. Most of the dead were half-orcs, just cannon fodder troops.

After paying casualties, the Allied People's Army achieved a lot of victories. The fierce battle reached the afternoon, and all the twenty-four arrow towers outside Heiyan City had been pulled out. Numerous orc corpses filled the ravines and piled up into hills under the city walls.

"Charge, charge!" Absolen roared, urging the giant wolf under his crotch to lead the charge in person.

The Remnant Allied Forces rushed towards the broken city walls as if they had been beaten with blood.

Hongye City, underground research institute.

"Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it..." A zombie with an unusually large head, a short stature, and blue skin was walking in the backyard of the lord's mansion, watching a huge projection screen, tsk tsk sigh, " It's been like this on the first day, the boss has to wait 10 days...well, there are six days left, and that's pretty difficult. No wonder he wants to use that crazy idea."

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

It was Dr. Zombie that came out.

The person responsible for protecting Dr. Zombie is Harvey, the newly promoted housekeeper by Bai Xiaowen.

"Mr. Polymath, it's time to let loose, it's time for you to work." Harvey said.

"What, I just came out for less than a minute..." Dr. Zombie angrily.

"Lord Lord said, you don't need to rest." Harvey said respectfully, but his attitude was very firm.

"What do you know! Scientists... The work of learned scholars requires inspiration. Inspiration, do you understand?" Dr. Zombie shouted.

"However, Lord Lord said that the research work has been completed. What you have been doing now is to supervise and guide production... This does not require inspiration." Harvey is not so easy to fool.

"That guy... I have already completed all the three orders this month! You still support me like this! What are you talking about in advance of the number of orders for next month... Shameless! Shameless! Hypocrite!" Dr. Zombie complained angrily.

But after complaining, Dr. Zombie could still recognize the reality. After venting a bit, he supported his head: "Let's go, go back to the factory... Without me, those stupid pig-like workers would screwed everything up!"
