Chapter 36 Victory
Anthony's death caused an uproar in the Iron Scythe family's army.
The Kaiyuan Cavalry Regiment, which was originally at an absolute disadvantage, was greatly encouraged. Under Clarence's roaring call, it launched a Jedi counterattack, which made several knights belonging to the Iron Scythe family on the battlefield somewhat at a loss.
"Next, it's time to end this battle!" Enzo's eyes left Anthony's cold body and looked at the battlefield calmly.
In this world, it is often the high-end combat power that can determine the direction of the war. After Anthony's death, no one in the Iron Scythe army could pose a threat to Enzo, so when he cast his eyes, several Iron Scythe knights felt their whole bodies tremble.
The next moment, Enzo turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.
"Ah! Help." An Iron Scythe knight in the center of the battlefield suddenly screamed. Without any warning, a dark short blade suddenly appeared, cut his throat like a ghost, and made his body fall from the warhorse.
"Be careful, Morgan!"
"Get out of the way, he's coming for you!"
After the knight's body fell off the horse, the shadow attacked the next target again. The surrounding Iron Scythe Knights screamed, but it was too late. Before the knight named Morgan could react, a short blade had pierced his chest from behind.
Puff! Blood gushed out, Morgan opened his mouth with difficulty, but his body was shaky on the horse's back.
For a moment, the Iron Scythe Knights were in danger.
"Run! Retreat to Giant Wolf City!"
"Scatter! Everyone, scatter!"
Two companions died in a short moment. The remaining Iron Scythe Knights shouted in a hurry and fled in different directions. The Iron Scythe family's army also fell into chaos at this moment and gradually began to flee towards Giant Wolf City.
So, a strange scene appeared on the vast ice field.
Countless armies of the Iron Scythe family fled frantically, while the Kaiyuan City Cavalry Regiment, which was less than 500 in number, rode on war horses and chased them relentlessly. Clarence personally held the black dragon flag and bravely rushed to the front. The cavalry regiment that was originally crushed became a unilateral massacre of Kaiyuan City after Enzo killed Anthony!
This war lasted for a full three hours.
The Iron Scythe army fled all the way, and after leaving behind nearly 5,000 corpses, it finally fled back to Giant Wolf City in a mess.
The originally snow-capped ice field has been stained with a layer of scarlet, and the smell of blood permeates the wilderness. The corpses have attracted a large number of monsters to eat, and the figures of ghost claw wolves and hard-haired rats can be seen everywhere.
"It's almost done, prepare to retreat." Looking at the Giant Wolf City in the distance, Enzo said in a deep voice.
"As you wish, Master Enzo!" Clarence stood straight and punched his chest hard with his fist.
Afterwards, Clarence gathered the remaining troops of Kaiyuan City, ordered the cavalry to clean up the battlefield, and personally found the body of the Great Knight Anthony, cut off his head as the most precious trophy of this war.
When Enzo led the army back to Kaiyuan City, it was already close to night.
Tyron ordered people to open the city gate and personally welcomed Enzo into Kaiyuan City. When he saw that there were only more than 300 cavalrymen left, he sighed slightly, but when Clarence took Anthony's head off the horse, Tyron was shocked and couldn't close his mouth.
"You can actually kill him!?" Looking at Anthony's stiff head, Tyron's expression was complicated.
"Just luck." Enzo raised the corners of his lips and said lightly.
Tyron looked at Enzo deeply and said nothing. Others may not understand the strength of Ghost Blade Anthony, but he knew very well that the two had fought three years ago, and there was no winner after more than ten rounds, which meant that Enzo already had the combat power beyond the average Great Knight.
In the evening, O'Quinn, who was supporting the Golden City, also led his army back.
When O'Quinn entered Kaiyuan City in high spirits, Enzo knew that he had won the war without asking. Since suppressing the curse, this man has been eager to show his strength to the outside world, and now, he finally got his wish.
On the battlefield of the Golden City, O'Quinn led 5,000 troops to face the Iron Scythe Family head-on.
Andrew, the lord of Iron Horn City, personally fought against O'Quinn. After twenty-seven rounds, he was defeated and fell off his horse. Fifteen Iron Scythe Knights desperately rescued him, and then hurriedly ordered the army to retreat. After paying a huge price, they finally fled back to Iron Horn City.
"Moore, give the order, I want to prepare a banquet to celebrate!"
After defeating Andrew on the battlefield, O'Quinn was in high spirits. After learning from Tyron that Enzo killed Anthony, he was even more excited and directly ordered the castle to prepare a banquet to celebrate the victory of this war.
"Follow your orders, master." Old Moore, the castle steward, bowed and saluted.
The banquet soon began in the castle, and all officers above the centurion level were eligible to attend.
The spacious hall was brightly lit, with two long tables on the left and right. Many maids shuttled between them, serving barbecue, drinks and other things. Those who could attend the banquet had already taken their seats in turn, among whom O'Quinn sat in the front seat, and Enzo and Tyron were next to him.
The celebration banquet was not too particular. After O'Quinn encouraged the knights who performed well in the war, he announced the start.
However, not long after the banquet began, Enzo left the hall with a glass of wine. He did not like this atmosphere.
Walking through the corridor, Enzo came to the courtyard of the castle. Feeling the somewhat cold evening breeze, he took a sip of the red wine in the glass. The aroma flowed down his mouth and throat. His eyes lit up and the corners of his lips rose.
"How is it? The specialty ice wine from the northern Silver Moon Kingdom, is it suitable for your taste?"
A hearty voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Enzo couldn't help but look over. Not far away, a handsome blond young man was walking slowly. He was wearing a luxurious dress with golden stripes and a friendly smile on his face.
"It tastes very good, mellow and refreshing, but the taste is not as sweet as ordinary red wine." Enzo smiled slightly and raised his glass to the blond young man who was walking towards him.
The blond young man was named Rocasi. He was the eldest son of Rovlai, the lord of the Golden City. After forming an alliance with Kaiyuan City to defeat the Iron Scythe Family, Rovlai attached great importance to O'Quinn, the ally, and specially sent his eldest son to Kaiyuan City to show his sincerity.
"I'm glad you like it. I'll prepare more for you next time the caravan goes to the Silver Moon Kingdom."
"Thank you very much." Enzo nodded slightly and asked casually, "Does Mr. Rocashi often go to the Silver Moon Kingdom?"
"Not very often." Rocashi touched his nose and chuckled, "I've been to many places with the caravan over the years. I have traded with the Silver Moon Kingdom in the north several times a year."
