Chapter 49 Sky Knight
West of the Cold Plains, Black Crow City.
The black walls were stained with blood, the ancient gates had long been shattered, the flames spread like a plague in the city, the wailing of civilians and soldiers rose and fell, and people were crying and running everywhere, like a purgatory.
The fighting outside the city continued, and the corpses of giant elephants as big as a hill were full of arrows and spears.
O'Quinn was pale, and the broken giant sword in his hand was struggling to lean on the ground. The black armor on his body was already tattered, and a deep wound on his chest was bleeding, and his left eye, which was completely scrapped, looked even more hideous and terrifying.
Not far from him, the knight Bam fell to the ground and his life or death was unknown.
As for the Lord of the Golden City, Rovlai, he had died in battle half an hour ago. His head was cut off by a long sword and his body fell in a pool of blood.
"I'm really surprised that you can hold on until now."
Not far away, a man in gorgeous clothes smiled and whispered. His body was standing in the air, and the white silk in his hand was meticulously wiping the bloody long sword. His elegant movements left the most picky nobles speechless, and the smile on his face was even more calm.
O'Quinn didn't speak. His face was pale, his arm holding the sword was trembling slightly, but his back was straight.
"To be honest, I really don't want to kill you."
"It's a pity that I can't. Your talent is too strong. You can hold on to the realm of a great knight in my hands for so long. Within five years, you will become a heavenly knight. If I don't cut the grass and root it out today, it will sooner or later pose a threat to me."
The man in gorgeous clothes smiled and shook his head, with a little regret in his tone.
"Have you become a Sky Knight long ago? Philip." The wound on his chest hurt so much that O'Quinn couldn't help but pull his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Before on the battlefield, I killed two Black Crow City Knights in a row, but you were indifferent. Just to bet everything on today?"
"Winning or losing for a while is meaningless. Only the final winner is the king!" Philip smiled calmly and shrugged indifferently. "Although we lost two Knights, as long as we can annihilate the 30,000 troops of the Four Cities Alliance in one fell swoop, then everything is worth it."
O'Quinn gritted his teeth, his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
In the war not long ago, the Allied forces captured Black Crow City like a hot knife through butter, and then the army marched straight in. O'Quinn thought he had won the battle, but the wildfire buried deep under the city rose into the sky, burning Black Crow City, which accommodated 30,000 Allied troops, into a sea of fire.
Countless soldiers were burned to death by the flames, and O'Quinn led the remaining troops to escape from the city at the risk of his life.
But at this moment, the Black Crow City army hidden in the wilderness had been waiting for a long time and surrounded the severely injured Allied Corps. It was rumored that the former Black Crow City Lord Philip, who had died of illness twenty years ago, suddenly appeared and showed a desperate and terrifying strength.
No one expected that the Black Crow City, which had been silent for many years, actually had a Sky Knight!
A fierce battle was inevitable. Philip, who had the peak fighting spirit, faced three great knights at the same time, but he was still not afraid. He killed the Golden City Lord Luo Fulai and the Giant Elephant Leader Bam with strong means, and seriously injured the Kaiyuan City Lord O'Quinn.
"Okay, it's time to end." Philip sighed faintly, the blood on the long sword had been wiped off, and he threw away the blood-stained white silk.
"If you want to kill me, then come!" O'Quinn grinned, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, he took a deep breath, held the broken giant sword with both hands, and the fighting spirit in his body burned like a raging fire.
"Is there no news yet?" Enzo frowned and stood in front of the window, muttering to himself.
He looked into the distance, feeling inexplicably uneasy. The wilderness was calm, but Enzo always felt that it was the quiet before the storm, as if something was about to happen.
"I hope everything goes well." Enzo turned around and sighed.
News just came back from the battlefield last night that O'Quinn had gathered 30,000 troops and planned to capture Black Crow City in one fell swoop today, completely ending the pattern of five cities coexisting in the Cold Plains and opening up a new era.
Thirty thousand troops attacking Black Crow City should have won.
But for some reason, as time went by, Enzo's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He had sent rangers to the battlefield to inquire, but the news was delayed, which made him more solemn.
"Don't be in trouble," Enzo's eyes flickered, and he prayed in his heart: "Father!"
Click! A flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. The wilderness, which was calm before, suddenly began to be covered with dark clouds. With a few dull thunders, a storm came without warning, as unpredictable as the situation on the ice field.
Boom! Another thunder.
The lightning dragged a long tail across the sky. In the forest on the ground, a figure in broken armor staggered forward. His burly body was already scarred, and his bloody arm dragged a half-broken sword.
"Cough! Cough!" O'Quinn coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood with his chest heaving.
"Is it the limit?" O'Quinn held a dead tree with his trembling arms, and a trace of miserable smile appeared on his face. "The power of the Sky Knight is really strong. Even if I have broken my own limit, I am still not his opponent."
Not long ago, when fighting with the Sky Knight Philip, O'Quinn had no power to fight back, but in desperation, he burst out with fighting spirit beyond his own limit, and injured Philip unexpectedly, and it happened to be raining heavily.
O'Quinn took this opportunity to rush into the forest and run for his life.
"After passing through this forest, we will enter Kaiyuan's territory." O'Quinn's consciousness began to blur, and his body felt a little cold under the rain. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to cheer up, "I must survive, I can't die yet!"
