Chapter 118 A Perfect Sneak Attack
After Zhang Caidong and his friends had eaten and drunk their fill, the plan began to proceed as normal as planned.
Taking advantage of the early morning, these employees from the diesel company slipped out of the city gate and started walking along a more rugged and dangerous path.
They passed through more than a dozen neighborhoods in Balihe Street and even ventured through a few shopping malls shrouded in darkness with undead monsters lingering inside. It was almost evening in the afternoon when they finally returned to the orc tribe where the diesel company was located.
Then they were discovered by the official staff and pig-headed men patrolling on the city wall and arrested.
And we learned that they were people who had escaped from the conquest of the human race's new territory.
He even reported it to his superiors on the spot.
The news was reported directly to the general manager of the diesel company, the orc chieftain in the big tent.
No one dared to hide it at this time.
Because before, even these ordinary employees already knew how angry Xue Zhigang, the general manager of the diesel company, was. Although he did not explode, everyone knew that this was a manifestation of extreme anger.
The loss of more than 1000 pig-headed men can be said to have weakened the armed forces of their diesel company headquarters by half!
The loss of more than 2000 temporary workers has left many of the usual menial tasks unattended.
The entire Orc tribe became dirty.
Very intuitive reflection.
Only one day had passed, and the Orc tribe where the entire diesel company was located seemed to have collapsed on the spot, and it seemed that its situation was deteriorating day by day.
And everyone's face, including those of the pig-headed men, was filled with a look of panic.
It was obvious that they were all afraid and terrified.
Not only did it come from General Manager Xue Zhigang, but also because his own Orc tribe had sent out so many elite Pig-headed People, but in the end they were all wiped out, with only a dozen people escaping back, which caused fear for the new human overlord whom he had never met!
The force sent out by the diesel company is already very strong.
And yet they were completely defeated.
If you think about it this way.
How powerful is the new human leader who has just emerged?
Therefore, no matter whether it is the formal employees of the diesel company composed of these Blue Star humans, or even the pig-headed people in the Orc tribe, the spiritual creatures who usually grunt and only know how to eat, drink and sleep, now dare not be too lazy.
After all, outside the rammed earth walls where they were stationed, in that vast desert terrain, they were attacked by human heavy cavalry.
At that time, they lost hundreds of pig-headed people and spiritual world servants.
They have already seen how powerful the new human leader is!
So when Zhang Caidong and the others said that they had escaped back, they were escorted all the way to the chieftain's tent of the Orc tribe again, and they were all forced to kneel on the ground with their heads pressed down.
"You said that you were resting outside the city wall, and that human lord burned the ramp to the city wall?"
At this time, Xue Zhigang was sitting on his huge chair, with a pair of sharp eyes in his small green eyes that were squeezed unclearly by the thick skin.
He didn't expect anyone to escape back, and he didn't expect the person who escaped back was Zhang Caidong.
He escaped three times in a row.
Every time, others suffered heavy losses, and some even died on the battlefield.
There was nothing wrong with him.
And came back safe and sound.
"Do you think I can really believe this kind of thing?" Xue Zhigang's back teeth were already clenched, which showed that he, who had a bad temper to begin with, was now extremely angry.
But Xue Zhigang was also suppressing his anger.
"Tell the truth!" At this moment, the old Minister of Transport, who had basically retired to the second line, took a step forward based on the tacit understanding they had developed before.
The flail in his hand hit Zhang Caidong with a bang.
A pit appeared on the ground of the pier made of rammed earth.
The old, wrinkled, yet somewhat pig-like face was filled with anger, and he shouted viciously, "You escaped three times, how come you didn't die on the battlefield? Are you a spy sent by that human lord?"
After he said this, the directors and the staff who followed him, from the Human Resources Department, Quality Inspection Department to the Sales Department, all stared at him angrily.
That look seemed to be devouring Zhang Caidong.
Including looking around, the 15 temporary workers who were kneeling there trembling all over, all looked vicious, as if they were looking at dead people.
But they had no way to verify it.
Because the few sporadic spiritual creatures that had escaped back before had all turned into illusions due to the deaths of their respective masters. They were exiled from the Blue Star world by the rules of the Blue Star and returned to the star realm.
But even if they were not exiled, it would be good enough for those spiritual creatures with average IQ to explain the defeat clearly.
Even if there were still two or three humans from Blue Star, no one paid any attention to what had happened or what had occurred as the heavy cavalry that followed Fatis in pursuit paid close attention.
They were all trying to avoid the heavy cavalry and to avoid being killed, so they crawled into the residential area.
He didn't pay any attention to what Zhang Caidong and the others were doing.
All I know is the great defeat that occurred!
"That's absolutely not the case! That's absolutely not the case! I'm definitely not a spy!"
Zhang Caidong also understood this, so he immediately defended himself with a trembling voice, even with a hint of tears in his voice:
"We attacked the city wall at the time. We looted the wooden furniture in the surrounding communities, leveled the trenches, and paved the ramps on the city wall. We lost a lot of followers in the spirit world to complete this task!"
There is an element of performance involved.
However, it was also because he realized that these diesel companies really wanted to kill them that he felt fear in his heart.
The crying was real and the words were real.
It's seven parts true and three parts false.
But the most critical and important information is all hidden in those three points of falsehood!
"We lost a lot of people at that time, but because we trusted Commander Fu Jian, we gritted our teeth and leveled the trenches and paved the ramps so that Commander Fu Jian could send soldiers to charge forward. We did it without hesitation. Even our followers in the spirit world were all killed, and we used up all the fragments of our spirit world marks. We really tried our best!"
Zhang Caidong then cried out, "General Manager! General Manager Zhigang! We are really not spies!"
But no one in the chief's tent paid any attention to him.
No one cared about his crying.
They have seen this kind of crying and wailing many times.
But weren't most of them just dragged out and beaten to death with flails by the pig-headed elite leaders, and then their meat was divided up on the spot, becoming the fresh meat dripping with blood that the pig-headed elite leaders coveted?
But at this time Xue Zhigang slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Caidong in front of him and the 15 temporary workers of the temporary fleet.
He also felt that some of them looked familiar.
These are candidates for reserve formal employees who have already been arranged by the Human Resources Department in advance, tested and registered.
As long as they have special contributions or their absolute loyalty is close enough, they will be made regular employees.
"What is going on? I will find out the truth." Xue Zhigang spoke slowly at this time. Although his voice contained a hint of anger, it was still quite steady.
It was like a huge hammer hitting everyone's heart.
"Minister Zhao." Xue Zhigang said the name.
"I'm here!" In the Quality Inspection Department, Director Zhao immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "General Manager Zhigang, I'm here. Please give me your instructions."
"Well, I remember that your quality inspection department seems to have the ability to simply detect whether the other party is capable of lying?" Xue Zhigang asked.
“…This.” The director of the Quality Inspection Department was slightly stunned, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Is there really such a thing?" Xue Zhigang frowned immediately, and even raised his fat hands to the handle of the chair and slapped it heavily: "You are so hesitant! If there is, then there is! If there is no, then there is no! I think you, as a minister, are clueless and know nothing! You are just like a waste!"
This statement is like a slap in the face, without any politeness.
Minister Zhao's fat face immediately turned red, but he just lowered his head to hide the resentment in his eyes, and muttered in a trembling voice: "General Manager Zhigang does have this ability. In our Quality Inspection Department, the deputy director of the Exploration Room, Zhang Bo, has this ability."
As he spoke, Minister Zhao lowered his head and stretched out his hand, pointing at the young man who was standing in front of the four or five people in the Quality Inspection Department.
It was the mage of the prophecy school, Zhang Bo.
"I do have some ability to detect whether someone is lying based on their mental fluctuations, but it has not yet reached the level of forming a spell. I can only make a simple judgment." Zhang Bo immediately walked out and explained the situation respectfully.
But now, Zhang Bo spoke very cautiously and politely.
Because Zhang Bo has already noticed that during this period, Minister Zhao of his Supervisory Department seemed to have some opinions about him.
And they didn't get along very well.
"Very good, Zhang Bo." Xue Zhigang glanced at Minister Zhao coldly, then looked at Zhang Bo and said in a deep voice: "Then now, you check for me, whether what Zhang Caidong said is true or false!"
“…Yes.” Zhang Bo’s eyes flickered at this moment, but he still nodded seriously and agreed.
Then he turned around and looked at Zhang Caidong, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, and a hint of complexity appeared in his eyes.
"Director Zhang... Director Zhang." At this time, Zhang Caidong looked at Zhang Bo walking towards him, his eyes full of pleading.
But he didn't dare to say anything more.
he knows.
Now his life completely depends on Zhang Bo, who came from the same urban village as him, has the same surname and clan as him, but no one else knows about this relationship.
But Zhang Bo didn't even look into his eyes.
She just came in front of him, with her two feet stopping thirty centimeters away from him.
He stretched out his hand and closed his eyes.
Zhang Bo asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Caidong, let me ask you, are you loyal to the Diesel Company and Xue Zhigang, and not someone else's...spy!?"
This question was asked quite concisely.
But it hit the nail on the head.
Inside the chief's tent, everyone looked over here.
Even Xue Zhigang tried hard to open his fat eyelids and looked at Zhang Bo seriously.
"A wizard of the school of prophecy..." Xue Zhigang thought of the time when he was in the Orc tribe in the Astral Realm. The old and dying shaman was so excited when he learned that he had a wizard of the school of prophecy.
He also advised himself to treat this prophecy mage well, as it would be of great help to him.
This is also why Zhang Bo has only joined the diesel company for two years.
He directly appointed him as the deputy director of the Quality Inspection Department, who was solely responsible for the magic crystal ball. If it was not a full-time position in the diesel company, it would need to be a formal employee. Xue Zhigang wanted to support this young man who usually looked timid and like a college student, to become a full-time director, and then serve as the head of the Quality Inspection Department!
But now, because the diesel company’s losses were too great, Xue Zhigang could no longer wait.
He wants to directly promote these capable young people from outside to positions.
Instead, continue to use these old things here that have been serving as corpses since the diesel company days!
Even though there are many people who are only in their forties or fifties, they still look like they are in their prime.
However, Xue Zhigang could never stand the bad habits of taking kickbacks and fighting openly and secretly left over from the diesel company.
More importantly, Xue Zhigang himself came to power through rebellion.
I defeated the old general manager at that time.
It depends on the support of these elderly people.
Now, even though he has become the general manager, these old people still talk behind his back about some things for their own benefit, relying on their previous relationships and interests to point fingers at him.
Xue Zhigang has been fed up with this for a long time!
So he wanted reform.
Or.
Promote young people across the board and let all these old guys step down!
"Wu Hu... Fu Jian, these two pieces of trash!" Thinking of this, Xue Zhigang thought even more about these two newcomers whom he trusted, both of whom he had placed his heart and soul in, but in the end they were defeated miserably and wiped out.
Let him lose face!
"Fortunately, my current strength is enough to hold down these old guys."
Xue Zhigang's eyes flickered at this moment: "As long as I refine the fragments of that artifact and gain extraordinary divine power, I will be able to display even more powerful strength, enough to destroy the weapons controlled by those old guys. By then, the entire Diesel Company will be completely under my control!"
'Om! '
At this moment, a special white light appeared in the palm of Zhang Bo's hand.
At this time, Zhang Bo's face was solemn. He slowly pressed his hand, which was flashing white light, on Zhang Caidong's head.
His tone was quite solemn: "Now, Zhang Caidong, answer me!"
"…I!"
Zhang Caidong opened his mouth and felt the warmth coming from his skull. His soul seemed to tremble because of this feeling.
I feel extremely regretful in my heart.
He had no idea that the Diesel Company had the ability to detect whether someone was lying, just like a lie detector.
If he knew about it, he would definitely take the opportunity to escape and would never come back to the diesel company.
But now Zhang Caidong is in a dilemma.
He could only bite the bullet, grit his teeth, and slowly, as if solemnly, said: "I have definitely not betrayed the Diesel Company! I have definitely not betrayed General Manager Zhigang! I am definitely not... a spy!"
After saying this, Zhang Caidong closed his eyes completely and his whole body was shaking.
The originally tense spirit and energy seemed to be dissipating at this moment.
"Yes, General Manager Xue Zhigang, after my investigation, what Zhang Caidong said is true." Then, just above Zhang Caidong's head, Zhang Bo's steady, affirmative, and quite serious and responsible voice appeared over there.
Zhang Bo also added: "According to my investigation, he has not betrayed the diesel company, nor is he a spy. He has a deep respect for you, General Manager Zhigang."
"..." Zhang Caidong was still kneeling on the ground with his head pressed against the ground, but his emotions were fluctuating like a roller coaster.
Even my breathing became much more rapid.
But at this time, Zhang Caidong didn't dare to raise his head to look at Zhang Song, nor did he dare to say anything more.
It was just that he felt like he had survived a disaster, and that kind of wild surprise of being protected filled his mind and made him burst into tears.
"Is that so?" Xue Zhigang slowly leaned back on the chair, his tone somewhat relaxed.
"That's absolutely true." Zhang Bo nodded affirmatively, without even the slightest fluctuation in his tone.
He looked confident.
"What about the others?" Xue Zhigang looked at the other 15 humans from Blue Star.
But at this time, he seemed to be tired, and waved his hand and said, "These people don't need to be tested here. Go to your quality inspection department for testing, and give me a briefing at the end."
"I understand." Zhang Bo nodded.
"And." Xue Zhigang looked at Minister Zhao, who was standing next to him with his head down and silent, and said again in a light tone: "Now, I have decided to appoint Zhang Bo as the deputy director of the Quality Inspection Department and the director of the Magic Crystal Ball Supervision Department. What do you mean?"
"No...no." From Minister Zhao of the Quality Inspection Department to several other ministers, they were all slightly stunned and then all agreed.
"Thank you for your cultivation." When Zhang Bo heard the appointment, he immediately bowed and saluted with an extremely excited tone.
However, the young director of the Personnel Department, the middle-aged director of the Sales Department who had long since defected to Xue Zhigang, and the elderly director of the Transportation Department all looked at Minister Zhao with strange eyes.
Everyone knows what is going on. Now General Manager Xue Zhigang is hinting that the Quality Inspection Department should also undergo a major overhaul.
But no one noticed that when Minister Zhao responded in a muffled voice, there was anger almost like hatred in his lowered eyes.
"General Manager Zhigang! General Manager Zhigang!" Just at this moment, Zhang Caidong's voice suddenly rang out: "I have something to report! I have important information to report!"
"Huh?" Xue Zhigang didn't care at all what these ministers thought.
The discussion he mentioned was the final decision.
Now, Zhang Caidong actually said that he had important information to report, which really made him a little interested: "What important information are you talking about?"
"The human lord who was chasing us was a heavy cavalry, so we fled into the wall of the community. We happened to hear some heavy cavalry dismounting to relieve themselves. We heard their discussion. They said they were planning to gather the heavy cavalry tonight, when it was getting dark and no one was paying attention, to attack our Orc tribe again!"
Zhang Caidong said this quickly.
At the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the sky outside was already half past five in the afternoon.
It was indeed almost dark.
meet as planned.
Shen Mu's heavy cavalry will immediately launch a sneak attack at 5:40!
Then continue for no more than ten minutes and leave immediately.
Basically, it was to carry out a tactical sneak attack, and to coordinate with them to increase the credibility of the double act after they came back!
"Is that so?" Xue Zhigang frowned slightly, looked up at the old Minister of Transportation, and said calmly: "Focus on defending the city gate. If those human heavy cavalry really dare to attack the city gate, let them in, and then close the city gate to keep them!"
"Hmph! Got it!" The old Minister of Transportation nodded humbly at this time: "Then I will get to work."
"Yeah." Xue Zhigang nodded and watched the old Minister of Transport leave.
At the same time, I was very satisfied with him.
Although this old minister had been bossing him around before, ever since he promoted Fu Jian and Wu Hu, this old guy seemed to understand everything all of a sudden and was willing to hand over all the main power, usually just signing.
This is also the reason why Xue Zhigang has now re-employed this old minister.
At least the way he looks now can be considered loyal and can be trusted temporarily.
In the chief's tent, Xue Zhigang briefly talked about the development of the diesel company, that is, the Orc Tribe. Then other ministers made some suggestions.
The atmosphere became cold.
They are all waiting.
The main purpose is to see whether what Zhang Caidong said about the human heavy cavalry launching a sneak attack is true.
Of course, because Zhang Caidong passed the lie test conducted by Zhang Bo.
So everyone regained some trust in Zhang Caidong.
But if the sneak attack by the heavy cavalry was confirmed, it would mean that Zhang Caidong could not only trust him again, but also reuse him when this diesel company suffered a heavy blow!
Or has Xue Zhigang decided to accelerate the reform and make these old guys withdraw from the center of power as soon as possible.
Let young people take over.
By the way, he, Xue Zhigang, made the diesel company and the Orc tribe his one-man show.
After he refined the artifact fragments and gained powerful strength, he formed a more powerful new army, which he could command like an arm and obeyed all his orders.
"The black tide will come more often, and it will be more frequent. By then, the spiritual world scenes in the star realm will fall completely into the blue star world."
When Xue Zhigang thought about the news he had heard from the old and dying shaman, he became so excited that his heart was shaking.
Especially when he thought about the artifact fragment he had obtained, which was a part of the real artifact of the former gnoll god Noguye, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and calm himself down in anger:
“If I can refine the extraordinary divine power inside, then it is possible for me to replace those former gods and become a new god in this era when the gods disappear and the spirit world replaces Blue Star!”
The word "god", just thinking about it, brings with it words of nobility, mystery and omnipotence.
This made Xue Zhigang really eager for it.
‘Woo——’
Just at this moment, a long horn sounded suddenly outside the big tent.
All the senior executives of the diesel company who were still waiting in the tent, all of whom had their own ulterior motives and were thinking about something, suddenly raised their heads and subconsciously looked outside.
At this time, the sky had gradually become gloomy, and the light of the setting sun was shining outside the tent.
What it brought was like the world that the Blue Star Rules gave to itself, a layer of dim yellow gauze that was scattered over it in sorrow to commemorate the upcoming ending.
However, the Blue Star humans of the Diesel Company, who have already completed the soul level and resonated with the spiritual creatures, don't care about these things at all.
Even those ordinary humans on Blue Star who have no spiritual creatures following them don't care.
They are all struggling to survive.
As for the Blue Star World?
I have fallen to this point. Does the continuation of the Blue Star world and the survival of the Blue Star rules still have anything to do with them?
No one cares.
I just care about this long horn sound, which seems rather strange.
Because the sound of the horn did not sound like the dull horn sound that was often heard from the top of the city gate in the Pig-headed Tribe of the Orcs.
In other words, this was not the sound of the horn blown by the pig-headed man from the Orc tribe at all!
"Here they come!" At this time, Zhang Caidong suddenly said, "The human heavy cavalry are coming!"
There was excitement in his eyes.
Isn’t the horn sound that is coming now the same horn sound that the new human overlord blew on the city wall before?
He heard it clearly at that time!
"It's really coming..." Inside the tent, all the management and department backbones were whispering to each other.
The look he gave Zhang Caidong also changed from anger at first, to doubt later, and then to trust now.
They have indeed believed Zhang Caidong.
"Yeah." Xue Zhigang's eyes also showed some satisfaction. He looked at Zhang Caidong and spoke again lightly: "Zhang Caidong, you are very good. You have always been loyal to the diesel company and you have not deceived me. This makes me very happy."
"This is what I should do! Before, General Manager Zhigang made me a full-time employee and promoted me to deputy commander-in-chief. I have no way to repay the diesel company and General Manager Zhigang. I am extremely grateful!"
Zhang Caidong could hear the satisfaction in Xue Zhigang's tone at this time. He knelt down on the spot, kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said loudly: "Diesel Company is my home! General Manager Zhigang, you are my second parent!"
"Hahahahaha!" These words made Xue Zhigang even happier.
Then, the fat hand slapped the handle of the chair and ordered loudly: "Now, since the Ministry of Transport is short of young people, Zhang Caidong looks good. Let him be the deputy minister, and then he will be responsible for the regularization of contract workers. I will give you three regular fleets and five temporary fleets, and let you lead them!"
"This..." Inside the tent, those senior ministers and backbones of various departments suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xue Zhigang.
Everyone was stunned, obviously extremely surprised by Xue Zhigang's arrangement.
This has never happened before.
Not only is the authority to become a regular employee given to an outsider, but even if he becomes a formal employee, he is no longer an outsider who has always been distinguished as one of the insiders before the advent of the undead rules.
He was also given the command of three official fleets and five temporary fleets.
This is simply a massive decentralization.
as well as.
A special signal.
"Thank you, General Manager!" Zhang Caidong was extremely ecstatic at this time. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly.
Tears and snot were streaming down her face, and her voice was choked with sobs:
"Zhang Caidong is here! I will never forget you! You are my second parent!"
But in the eyes of others, such a funny look is indeed ridiculous.
This is also because of the jealousy in my heart.
For Zhang Caidong himself, he realized at this moment that he had been promoted so much and it was obvious that he was going to be reused. He felt almost heartbroken.
no way.
It was because of him that he personally killed the commander-in-chief Fu Jian at that time.
He also brought others to surrender.
And first of all, he asked, are you willing to be an insider and a spy to cause trouble in the diesel company?
With such an improvement now, Zhang Caidong is even more frightened.
If Xue Zhigang knew the truth about these things, then it would not be as simple as just dying. I would probably be unable to die and be tortured to the point of my last breath!
That's why Zhang Caidong is so excited now, because he is really scared.
But no one cares about him now.
Instead, he cared more about the fact that the old Minister of Transport led more than 300 pig-headed people and ambushed inside the city gate, intending to meet the sneak attack of the human heavy cavalry!
‘Rumble—’
At this time, just outside the gate of the Orc tribe, Shen Mu took the lead, with Fatis and Ailen on the left and right, all riding armored Swadian horses, galloping quickly on the desert-like ground.
Following behind were 10 Holy Tree Knights, 10 Swadian Knights, and 150 Swadian heavy cavalry who were also heavily armored.
Let these war horses inlaid with horseshoes run quickly, hitting the ground step by step.
While making a huge rumbling sound.
It also brought a terrifying momentum!
"rush!"
Shen Mu raised the Holy Tree Lance in his hand and stepped forward, looking at the city gate in front of him that was not closed, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Then he pointed forward, commanding the knights and heavy cavalry to charge forward.
However, during the rapid run, the 150 Swadian heavy cavalrymen began to slowly slow down the pace of the charge and began to distance themselves from Shen Mu, Fatis, Airen and the 20 knights in front.
And tighten the reins, slowly forming two circular arcs.
From the left and right sides of the city gate, they drew a circle in the direction of the charge, and then retreated!
Because just over there on the retreat route, 50 Holy Tree cavalrymen wearing Holy Tree chain mail, holding lances, but riding Holy Tree horses without armor but only covered with a layer of cloth, were providing support there.
There is nothing to respond to.
Faced with such a large number of nearly 220 heavy cavalrymen.
No infantryman dared to come and provoke.
More than 220 heavy cavalry.
Or it's a shock-type heavy cavalry armed with lances.
For many infantrymen, if the formation is scattered and they fail to form formations such as spear phalanx or shield wall to effectively curb the charge of heavy cavalry.
Then even if there were tens of thousands of infantrymen, they would be forced to break through a section of the area by these 220-odd heavy cavalrymen.
It is impossible for them to suffer too many casualties, and they can even rely on the advantage of armor to charge out!
In fact.
These Holy Tree Cavalry and Swadian Heavy Cavalry are now responding to the 22 knights who are still charging in front!
"Follow me closely!" Shen Mu held the spear tightly in his hand and looked at the wide-open city gate.
It was as if those pig-headed men had no time to notice their charge and looked careless. The sarcasm on Shen Mu's lips became more and more obvious.
He is very clear.
There must be an ambush inside!
After all, when he and Zhang Caidong discussed the specific content, Zhang Caidong took the initiative to say that he would inform them of their sneak attack in advance.
Then he let the pig-headed man from the Diesel Company ambush inside in advance and pretend that he wanted to severely injure him.
This is also a very reasonable arrangement after knowing about the sneak attack.
"Everyone, pay attention!" Fatis and Airen also held lances at this time, looking at the familiar Swadian heavy cavalry around them, as well as the unfamiliar but equally powerful Holy Tree Knights, their faces gradually became serious.
They charged across the desert at such a fast speed that they arrived at the city gate in a flash.
Looking at the wide open city gate.
And in front of him, Shen Mu, who was still charging inside, gritted his teeth and followed him closely, without any fear on his face!
They knew that Shen Mu was about to lead them into the city gate.
"Switch, one-handed weapon!"
Just in front of them, Shen Mu's voice appeared in their ears.
"Understood!" They responded in unison.
No matter whether it was Fatis, Ailen, the Holy Tree Knight or the Swadian Knight, at this time they all hung their lances on hooks on their thighs, saddles and horse necks, and skillfully drew out their knight swords or half-swords from their waists, which flashed a cold light in the dim sunlight.
Without hesitation, he followed Shen Mu, who had also drawn his knight's sword, and rushed into the city gate that was within reach.
Without any hesitation.
Just rush forward!
Because Shen Mu had already discussed the next plan with these knights before the battle, as well as the skills and spells he was about to release -
"A powerful group attack!"
"Group Stoneskin!"
Shen Mu's thoughts also instantly connected to the Mount and Blade system.
Skills are released instantly!
'Om! '
The power of the Mount and Blade rules began to take shape along with the magical power from the spiritual world.
And in an instant, according to Shen Mu's wishes, it turned into a red light and attached to the swords of himself, Fatis, Ailen, and the seven knights closest to him, imprinting them with a special terrifying red light.
At the same time, a gray-black color, like rock, appeared on the bodies of these 22 people.
Even the warhorse under his crotch appeared to have a black and gray luster.
It's like a piece of extremely pure rock sculpture that can move!
The horseshoes of the war horses under his crotch will hit the ground more violently, the sound will be more terrifying, and the visual impact will be stronger!
It was just that the running speed of these war horses with the stone skin spell had slightly decreased.
But it has little impact on the results produced.
They are equally fast.
Then, when attacking the city gate, Shen Mu took the lead in raising the knight's sword in his hand that was flashing red light, and chopped heavily at the wooden city gate.
‘Crack! ’
'Boom! '
The powerful blow was applied to the knight's sword, which was of fine quality and sharp, and instantly cut through a section of the city gate made of three-finger-thick wood.
Then Shen Mu rode his horse further towards the depths of the city gate, and heard a similar sound in his ears.
'Crack, crack, crack!'
It was Fatis and Ailen, as well as the knights whose swords had been strengthened by a powerful blow, and they were slashing at the city gates on both sides!
'boom! ’
Then, the city gate, which was wide open with its hinges exposed to attack, was chopped off by the knight's swords with a powerful blow.
The city gate, which was originally built with the skills of pig-headed men and had a rough texture and simple style, was chopped into pieces the moment the knights passed by, turning into useless wooden boards that scattered all over the ground.
"Keep moving forward! Follow me!" Shen Mu reconnected with the system in his mind at this moment.
'Om! '
The power from the Mount and Blade rules has re-emerged.
It immediately transformed into countless red lights that blessed the knight swords in their hands, adding the effect of a powerful blow to them again!
And this time, Shen Mu did not hesitate to use his skills which could be released 10 times without consumption and without interruption every day.
"A powerful group attack!"
It was not only added to the knight swords of himself and others, but also to the knight swords of other knights, all of which were illuminated with red light that gave the effect of a powerful blow.
Looking at the astonished faces of the people in front of him, they never expected that Shen Mu would be the first to break down the city gate and rush in with the pig-headed man.
Shen Mu had a grim smile on his face.
"kill!"
He raised the knight's sword in his hand, and relying on the group stoneskin spell on his whole body, he slammed heavily into the pig-headed men in the front.
These knights are like heavy marble sculptures.
He slammed into the ambush formation of the pig-headed men, swung his knight's sword, and began to chop wildly, turning these pig-headed men who had never expected it and were not prepared at all into pitiful creatures to be slaughtered!
A group of pig-headed people who were hastily organized really didn't expect this.
Shen Mu will break down the city gate first.
He also used the innate spell that these pig-headed people were usually proud of, and cast a group stoneskin spell on themselves.
No fear of ambush.
Instead, it caught them off guard!
"Swarm harassment!"
But at this time Shen Mu once again released the huge killer bee from the spiritual world, and the knight sword in his hand directly pierced through the chest of a pig-headed man.
Relying on the charge and four hooves of the Swadian warhorse under his crotch, he trampled on those pig-headed men.
Just turn the horse's head around.
He shouted to the knights around him who were also fighting and trampling the pig-headed men: "Now! Get out of here! Let's go!"
Now that he had succeeded, Shen Mu had no intention of staying.
Just a sneak attack.
Killing twenty or thirty pig-headed people will be enough.
Anyway, they have already rushed into the city gate.
Already arrived inside the city wall.
Shen Mu was not sure whether the specific task was completed or not.
But since we have already mastered the bug-like skills, we have met the conditions for completing the task.
Then it's time to go!
If you are trapped inside the city gate, you will be surrounded by the pig-headed men that are swarming over you.
That would be an absolutely dangerous situation where one would put oneself at risk!
