Chapter 83 Breaking Out of the Imperial Capital

As blood spurted out, the entire battlefield fell silent for a moment.

The melee contractors who had rushed to the front row turned around and glanced behind them. Their expressions were dull and their pupils trembled slightly.

In a pool of blood, there stood a silver figure holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, surrounded by a few crispy creatures in the distance who had managed to survive. Fortunately, their previous location was not within the coverage of the halberd.

Although they managed to survive, they were still shaken by Xu Yue's brutal attack and were now crawling away from the killing god in the middle.

The melee fighters in the front row were stunned, but the knights of the Guards Knights were not stunned. Now that the enemy's rear had been defeated by Xu Yue, and the long-range attacks disappeared, Mandel decisively ordered to lift the defensive shield.

More than a dozen priests thrust down the short-handled staffs held high in their hands, and the defensive shield in front of them disappeared. Instead, an isolation shield used to trap the enemy appeared. The white light shield expanded rapidly with the entire knights as the center. After just a few breaths, it expanded to a range of hundreds of meters, including everyone present.

After the isolation shield appeared, the thunderous sound of horse hooves also sounded behind the knights. The two cavalry teams rushed out from the cracked gap in the metal city wall at the rear, charging towards the melee contractors in the front row with an outflanking charge. .

The battlefield situation quickly reversed in more than ten seconds. After the long-range contractors were almost wiped out by Xu Yue, the melee contractors were also on the verge of despair at this moment.

A few minutes later, the battle in the isolation barrier came to an end. Xu Yue stood in the center of the battlefield, shaking off the blood on Fang Tian's painted halberd. Looking around, the land in front of the metal fortress was already littered with corpses. , the members of the Knights were walking around, checking if anyone was not dead, and the sound of spears piercing flesh could be heard from time to time.

This group of contractors who originally wanted to become fishermen, when faced with the sudden appearance of Xu Yue and many cavalry, had changed from fishermen fishing to fish and shrimps who took the initiative to enter the urn, and died quite simply.

With an advantage in terms of high-end combat power and numbers, the battle ended quickly, and the Knights annihilated the enemy without even suffering many casualties.

"Lord Xinhuo, everything has been cleaned up and no one has escaped."

Mandel approached from the side and respectfully reported the battle situation to Xu Yue. After fighting side by side for many times, he was now completely convinced of Xu Yue.

"Okay, assemble the team immediately. More than half of the night is over, and we have to speed up the progress next."

"yes!"

After a while, the knights of nearly a hundred people lined up. Xu Yue was at the forefront on his horse, with Mandel and Elro on his left and right hands. Now the entire knights were enveloped in the strong smell of blood, and among them was the leader. Xu Yue is the most exaggerated.

Just as he was waiting for the order to set off, a cold female voice suddenly came from mid-air.

"The imperial capital is closed. The Knights of the Guard want to kill all outsiders. If you don't want to die, work together to rush out of the sacred heaven!!"

Xu Yue raised his eyes and saw a rather handsome-looking falcon hovering over the knights. If he looked carefully, he could clearly see that the falcon was holding a small black square in its sharp claws. Box, the shout just now came from this, and it was repeated over and over again.

After listening to the shouting above, Mandel's expression changed. He pulled out the short spear hanging on the horse and prepared to shoot down the falcon in mid-air. However, before the short spear could be shot, an arm stretched out from beside him. He stopped his spear-throwing action.

"Sir Xinhuo?" Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Mandel looked at Xu Yue in front of him doubtfully.

"Be calm." Compared to Mandel's eagerness, Xu Yue seemed much calmer. He calmly looked at the falcon flying away in the sky, and then looked carefully at other directions in the imperial capital. Sure enough, in addition to this falcon, there were at least four or five more birds above the entire outer city, all holding a small box and broadcasting this message to the whole city.

"There's more than one to kill, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's hard to find a hidden rat, but as long as the rat can escape on its own, it's much easier to solve."

After listening to Xu Yue's words, Mandel quickly reacted, and the look of confusion on his face became clear. There were two difficulties in cleaning up the entire outer city.

The first is the collective counterattack of the contractors. They are not lambs to be slaughtered, but after half a night of killing by the knights, this threat has been greatly reduced.

The second is that it is difficult to find the contractors after they are scattered and hiding. The outer city is very large. Even with the help of the priests' detection spells, it is not easy to find all the hidden contractors.

If a large number of contractors play hide-and-seek and engage in guerrilla warfare with them, it will only make Xu Yue and the knights exhausted.

Now that all the contractors in the city are gathering at the outer wall through this broadcast, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, after the explosion just now, most of the contractors have realized that something is wrong, and it will be easy to block them in the stronghold later. Not many possibilities left.

As for whether the contractors can really break out of the outer city after gathering, Xu Yue, Mandel and others expressed that they are not worried. This is a sacred paradise, and the person responsible for guarding the outer city is Cook and the hundreds of people he led. A member of the Knights, in terms of hard power, is far stronger than their team of less than a hundred people.

Xu Yue's eyes grew colder as he listened to the broadcast sound spreading and the surrounding outer city becoming more and more lively.

"It's not lively enough. In that case, let me lend a hand."

After saying that, he looked at Elro, who had changed into a priest's robe beside him.

"Elro, can you spread my words throughout the outer city?"

"It's just a sound amplification technique, a little trick."

Elro nodded, then moved the tip of the staff with a blue glow closer to Xu Yue. The next moment, Xu Yue's cold announcement resounded throughout the outer city.

"All outsiders who surrender can live, and those who resist will be killed!"

The voice spread, and the contractors who were skeptical because of the previous broadcast suddenly looked up. Now they had completely lost their fluke mentality. One after another, figures rushed out from all parts of the outer city and rushed towards the four walls. The entire imperial capital was completely boiling.

"Commander Xinhuo, what should we do now?"

Xu Yue moved his eyes away from the birds falling from the sky and moved to the metal barrier behind him.

"Wait, go back and rest for a while. When the rats have gathered, we will plow along the four walls."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Mandel led the troops back to the metal barrier to rest. After fighting for half the night, even though the members of the Knights were all professionals, they would still be tired and exhausted.

Xu Yue jumped onto the high wall again, standing on the high ground and looking at the flashing black shadows on the street towards the four walls, with evil spirit surging on his body.

…………

As time went by, more and more contractors began to gather at the four walls of the outer city of the imperial capital, and the number of people on the western wall was the largest.

This is the location where monsters invaded during the day. The destroyed walls have not been repaired so far. The wall defense system of the imperial capital includes complex inscriptions. Earth and stone walls are easy to build, but the inscriptions are extremely troublesome to burn and connect.

Therefore, this is the weakest point in the outer city wall defense. Relatively speaking, it is also the most tightly protected place by the Guards Knights. Cook even guards it personally.

Now, the environment at this section of the city wall is becoming more and more tense. After just experiencing the invasion of monsters, this place will face the second round of battle - the massive breakout of the contractors.

In front of the crack in the city wall, Cook looked at the pairs of malicious scarlet eyes in front of him and remained unmoved, but his voice became colder.

"I warn you one last time, mercenaries, leave! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
