Chapter 16 - Chapter 15 Recovering the Old City

The crowd gathered on a hillside not far from the gate of Garden City. The members of the Scorpio Mercenary Regiment all boarded the unicorns brought by Tankaga for replacement, while the Fire Lizard were not accustomed to riding horses and ran fast enough, so they had no mounts.

And the overall commander is handed over to KK, who has had a lot of formal combat experience. Because the Ranch City Cavalry Regiment was at best established after the Black Sheep Cataclysm and only swept away some small bandit groups. Before the Black Sheep Cataclysm, KK participated in many battles and was an excellent warrior in Garden City.

The few people gathered in front looked at the deeply closed door, all of whom knew that the other party must have known that the enemy was attacking. And there must be a considerable defensive force waiting for their attack behind the gate and on the city wall.

KK said, "Miss, do you want to lead some people to sneak into the city through the secret passage we escaped from in the past, and then cooperate with the Pegasus cavalry to launch an attack from the air, with a pincer attack on both inside and outside?"

Xia Zina shook her head and said, "No way! It's been ten years since I last returned to Garden City, and I don't know if the secret passage is still intact. If they discover the secret passage, there will definitely be a considerable number of traps. And the other party will definitely be prepared with archers, which is a great threat to the aerial combat power of the Pegasus cavalry."

Because the news of Yerong and others about to attack had already spread before Xia Zina and others arrived at Kangwang, the method planned by KK beforehand could not be used. But with the addition of the Ranch City Cavalry Regiment, the combat power of over 200 people and an additional three Seven Warriors, the attack style will have more flexibility.

Jack said on the side, "I have a good idea!"

Everyone looked happily at Jack and asked, "What's a good idea?"

Jack smiled maliciously and said, "Attack from the main entrance, break through the door, and kill them off guard. As long as there is a considerable momentum that shakes them, coupled with the call of the Genji clan, I believe that both the former subjects of Garden City and the new ones entering Garden City can achieve the action of attacking with minimal casualties.". This is the so-called Shockwave Combat Method. "

Jess clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Alright! Alright! This way, the fight feels more enjoyable."

Jack gave Sally, Mifar, and Monica a strange look. The four of them tacitly lifted Jess's hands and feet up.

Jess exclaimed in fear, "Hey! What are you doing?"

Jack said, "Hehe! Don't talk! Jimmu."

Sally smiled and said, "Mifar told us about the skull of the Sky Tower."

Jess shouted, "That's just a coincidence! No! That was a misunderstanding! Wait a moment! Wait a moment..."

No one cared about poor Jess's defense. Monica turned her head and said, "Xia Zina, remember to follow me! Don't be fooled by it from behind."

Kuta laughed on the side and said, "Haha! It's so interesting. I'll help you clear the way and sweep the arrows."

After speaking, I saw four people... three people, a kangaroo puppet carrying one person, and a lizard rushing out.

Iva saw it from the side and shook his head, saying, "Only the Seven Warriors can control the Seven Warriors!"

Xia Zina also shook her head and asked KK, who was scared and stunned, to come back to her senses and give the order.

KK raised his hand high and shouted in an instant, "Let's charge, move forward at maximum speed." The team of over two hundred people rushed down the hill like this.

A few unknown people, accompanied by a kangaroo puppet and a lizard, rushed towards the front. There are teams of Pegasus from the air and unicorns from the ground not far behind. The formation of hundreds of people is a rare scene of war on the mainland since the Black Sheep Cataclysm.

The soldiers defending the city walls probably didn't expect to witness most of the battle formations on the mainland before the Black Sheep Cataclysm in their lifetime. The other party is not a small bandit who occasionally attacks, of course, they try to use any destructive weapons as much as possible. Be sure to eliminate the opponent before they approach.

Arrows like falling rain, occasional giant rocks strung across the field, such strength cannot stop the few people charging ahead. If anyone knows that they are facing characters on the mainland who are eligible to be listed at the "Demon King level", and even the legendary Seven Warriors are there, then how many people will still stay in their original positions is really an interesting question.

Kuta only plucked the arrow that greeted them, and the boulder with insufficient accuracy never disappointed them, always creating a stunning sound effect from afar. Perhaps among this group of people who enjoy the taste of battle, only Jess has a vastly different mood. But the other five people who were smirking simply ignored complaints or praised him, and no one cared about his life because it was just an unnecessary act.

Rushing to the city gate, Kuta flickering to the side is enjoying the hot oil pouring down from the city wall. And that temperature is not hot enough for Kuta, even for bathing water.

Jack and Sally, who were holding Jess's left and right hands, kicked up the city gate with one foot, jumped back, and the four of them forcefully threw Jess out of their hands. The result was very satisfactory, and Jess's head smoothly made a considerable hole in the thick city gate.

Just as Jess, who was thrown into the city alone, was feeling dizzy and disoriented, a group of people from all around gathered around him. With weapons and a fierce expression, he thought the other person was a lone prey, but who knew he was actually a lone "falcon".

The unclear mind couldn't distinguish the real culprit outside the door, and the group of people who thought they were hunters surrounded immediately became a pitiful tool for venting their anger.

While Jess was grabbing a gun from the east, grabbing a sword from the west, and throwing it recklessly, Jack and others slipped in through the opened hole. A few hands rushed to the gate mechanism, while Sally was using a whip to throw the attacking person into Jess's circle of battle, letting Jess have something to do, so as not to hinder their opening of the door. With the trigger of the mechanism, the gate opened in response, and KK was leading his team towards the city gate.

KK stormed into the city, holding up the "Genji" and shouting, "The remnants of Duke Bai Lieming, Miss Xia Zi is back. Put down your weapons! Those who surrender are exempt from death!"

The city guards, who had died or injured many people, heard such a life-saving word, regardless of whether the other party was truly a remnant of the Duke of White Lenin. They threw down their weapons and squatted in place. And in order to stop Jess from going crazy, Jack stepped forward.

I saw Jess step on the tip of the sword that someone else had thrown on the ground, grabbed the bounced sword Bing, and then swung it towards Jack. Jack was startled and quickly crouched down, his hands clasped together, gripping the sword that was being struck.

"Hello! It's Jack!"

"Don't worry! I can see very clearly," Jess answered briefly and released the sword that was caught. Jumping to the side, he picked up the abandoned weapon from the ground and shot it at Jack.

At this moment, Mifar walked towards KK and said, "Don't pay attention to the two of them for now. Let's go into the Duke's Mansion before we talk. When things here come to an end, they may not be over yet."

KK nodded in agreement as if he had understood something, and then led everyone towards the location of the Duke's Mansion.

A group of people stormed into the Duke's Mansion, and KK dispersed the crowd into four teams to search for the Duke's Mansion. The remaining three Seven Warriors and Kuta were also scattered among the various teams. Sporadic resistance, the opponent quickly gave up the desire to continue fighting and surrendered one by one. Xia Zina searched everywhere in the Duke's Mansion for the traces of her enemies.

"Black stocks, come out!"

"Hehe hehe! You have finally returned, Miss Xia Zina." On the throne in the hall, Black Jigu, surrounded by more than ten knights, faced Xia Zina's team.

"Traitor Hei Jigu, today I will avenge my father." Xia Zina pointed a sword at Hei Jigu.

"It depends on whether you have the ability to take my life," said Hei Jigu and the knights beside him as they approached Xia Zina.

A desperate blow from over ten knights is not something that ordinary people can do next. If it weren't Monica standing next to Xia Zina, they would definitely succeed. Unfortunately

"My servant! Listen to my call, appear quickly, clear the obstacles I detest."

Monica recited a strange spell... The tone and content were more like an order, and a skull jumped out of the bag on the kangaroo puppet's belly. It was the guy who caused them a lot of trouble during the Clear Sky Tower. But under the control of Monica, he unleashed the attacking power that had given them a headache at the time.

Waving a peculiar wide sword, the skeleton was enveloped in light blue armor, and a blue glazed swordsman appeared, wrapping the skeleton inside. Although the transparent swordsman is not as big as when he was in the Clear Sky Tower, the huge creature that envelops the skull is also frightening. Although the skeleton wielding the strange sword in his hand is still some distance away from the enemy, the sword in the glass swordsman's hand can also attack the enemy.

It's not that the knights on the same team as Xia Zina are too weak, but that the skeletons manipulated by Monica are too strong. No one dared to enter the attack range of the skeleton. When the skeleton appeared, everyone was just desperately escaping. Although he is controlled by Monica today, who knows that she can restrain him 100%, so it's better to stay away, as she doesn't need much help anyway.

It's not that the opponent's knights are too weak, who said they would encounter the skeletons under Monica's command. The uncertainty and cautious attitude towards unknown things lead to their faster death. Due to simple defense, it was impossible to withstand the attack of the Glass Swordsman. Even if they invade the range of the Glass Swordsmen, they have no way to defeat the undead skeletons. Facing the direct attack of the skeleton, the destructive power is even stronger.

The killer who intentionally left one person behind returned to the bag of the kangaroo puppet. And the only one alive, due to long-term extravagance and indulgence causing obesity, was pierced by Xia Zina's sword. Suddenly appearing, Xia Te was given several fatal injuries by Xia Zina's command. The artery of the neck spurted out a relatively bright red blood. The open belly flows out of the intestines and stomach. There are countless dirty and unpleasant excretions at the bottom of the pants.

"Haha!... I didn't lose!... I didn't lose! I died for the holy war... and I... will be able to go to heaven... because the bishop won... heaven... is the true angel..." Black Jigu ended his life through the Black Sheep catastrophe with ambiguous words.

After pacifying various resistance forces, the group should gather in the square in front of the hall to receive the surrender of others. Xia Zina, who had avenged her father, had a look of relief on her face, exuding a radiance she had never seen before.

After gathering the crowd, Xia Zina said, "KK, you lead the original Scorpion Mercenary Corps to stay in the city to handle the aftermath. I will accompany Yerong to Rockstone with Xia Te, Gui, Mei, Jack, Sally, and the Kutar Elder."

KK exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, we just recaptured Garden City. It's really not suitable for you to leave at such a time!"

Xia Zina stopped KK's advice and said, "That's why I want you to stay in Garden City. Yerong is willing to help us, and we can't ignore them and only focus on completing our own tasks. According to the surrendering people, the people of the Angel Church have long retreated to Lockstone. Lockstone's current combat power must not be inferior to the defending forces of Garden City just now."

Xia Te appeared and knelt in front of Xia Zina, saying, "Miss..."

Xia Zina immediately blocked Xia Te's words and said, "Don't worry! There are five out of the seven warriors. Although their personalities and legends are different, their strength has not changed. Don't worry about me."

KK and others listened to Xia Zina's words and felt a little relieved. Jess and Jack suddenly jumped off the wall on the east side of the square.

"Damn it! Don't run!" Jess took out something from somewhere and one by one appeared in his hand, shooting at Jack again. But Jack used a very strange posture and made clever angles to avoid the various weapons that Jess shot.

"If you say don't run, then don't run! Hehe! I can't shoot!" Jack ran away and occasionally turned around, making a face at Jess. The eyes pulled down and the tongue sticking out, occasionally squeezing the cheeks, causing the face to deform, all of these actions truly angered the person chasing them. It wasn't until the two of them jumped out of the other wall that the farce in front of everyone ended.

KK looked at the direction in which the two people jumped out of the wall and said, "Not quite the same?"

And Iva turned to Xia Zina and asked, "Xia Zina! You really plan to rely on those two living treasures."

Xia Zina awkwardly smiled and glanced at the people on both sides.

The group took a brief rest and headed straight to the Great Plains in front of Lockstone.

"Oh! Oh my goodness!" Tankaga exclaimed in surprise.

But no one would pay attention to him, because what was in front of him was a rather rare grand scene. In front of the entrance and exit of Lockstone, that area should also belong to the Great Plains, filled with tens of thousands of soldiers.

Xia Zina looked at the heads of over ten thousand people and said in surprise, "Why do they have such strength?"

"Because there are quite a few to make up." Everyone looked at Jess who was making a sound. He continued, "If you look closely, you can notice that many people are just standing there with bamboo poles tied to kitchen knives to recharge."

"Are they ordinary people?" said Zao Nv's

Jess nodded and said, "I guess so! But excluding those people, there are still over a thousand people who can be called combat power. Because they are all scattered in the crowd, I'm too lazy to count the correct numbers."

Sally commented on the side, "This is the power of religion."

Yerong said, "What should we do? They're like taking ordinary people hostage like this."

Just as Jess was about to speak, a voice came from the sky: "Foolish person! Why did you come to disobey me? I am the messenger sent by God."
