Chapter 1310: First Strike

Those lowly people in Shizhoutou really made him spend money!

Just at this moment, two giant rocks suddenly flew out of the dense forest, each eight feet square, smashing toward City Guardian Liu with a whistling wind! Extremely accurate.

They fell in a parabolic arc, and the generals around shouted "dodge," while the confidant grabbed the reins of City Guardian Liu's mount and pulled outward.

*Bang, bang*, the giant rocks landed and rolled a few times, dust flying.

"Enemy attack ahead!"

Immediately after, a horn sounded from the dense forest.

Long, vigorous, and powerful, like the roar of some ancient giant beast, making even the gravel on the ground jump non-stop.

At least City Guardian Liu had never heard it before.

Just this sound made everyone feel their blood surging and their heads dizzy, feeling uncomfortable for a long time.

Seven or eight warhorses were originally suffering from diarrhea and physical weakness; shocked by the horn sound, they actually softened their four hooves and collapsed directly to the ground. Two cavalrymen were unlucky, pressed under the horses and unable to move.

Immediately after, dozens of cavalrymen stepped out of the forest, all in black armor and long blades, as if they had melted into the dark mountain forest and night sky.

Every rider was wearing a ferocious mask.

"Who are you!" City Guardian Liu was both shocked and suspicious, "Why block my way!"

The black-armored leader wore a dragon-head mask, and his low voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Liu Shuheng, you are full of evil, your time is up!"

As soon as he spoke, the cavalry behind him didn't move, freezing into several human walls, and even the horses under them didn't snort or shake their heads.

Clearly there were only a few dozen riders, but they displayed the strict aura of over a thousand people.

"Who asked you to come? Zhao Guangzhi or Yang Meng?" City Guardian Liu tried to persuade with profit, "If you let me go, I am willing to pay with ten years of tax from Shizhou City and Chun City!"

Did this person have no concept of ten years of tax? City Guardian Liu immediately changed his words: "One hundred thousand taels of silver! No need for ten years, I will pay the down payment first, and pay it all in half a month!"

If it were half a day ago, if someone told him that a few dozen riders could block him to a dead end and force him to spend one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy his life, he would definitely laugh his teeth off. Now, sigh, the situation is stronger than people.

Save his life first, money can be found slowly.

The other party was leisurely, "To extort one hundred thousand taels from such two small cities, you really are hard on yourself."

City Guardian Liu hurriedly said, "Not hard, not hard, I have plenty of ways!"

"But you forgot, Shizhoutou is no longer yours." The dragon-head leader said, "Soon, even this life won't be yours."

The other party was impervious to reason, so City Guardian Liu had to shout: "Rush over!"

He had at least two hundred people around him, and the other party had only a few dozen; even if he couldn't beat them, he could always rush over, right?

Rush out of this open space, and behind it is the road to survival.

The dragon-head leader only raised his left hand and pointed forward: "Kill!"

The black-armored cavalry took out their bows and arrows from behind, and dozens of arrows were fired at once, their movements neat and uniform, as if they had practiced countless times.

Then they tapped their horses' bellies, put away their bows and held their weapons, and rushed out like a whirlwind.

City Guardian Liu's hope was shattered the moment the two armies collided.

His soldiers had just raised their shields when the other party charged, with strength, angle, and technique that were far superior to ordinary cavalry. City Guardian Liu watched as the soldiers directly in front were picked up by a black-armored rider with a spear, and they actually flew over his head, drawing a perfect parabola before landing with a *thud*.

Accompanied by blood splashing, screams were endless.

These two hundred defeated soldiers of City Guardian Liu were not even a match for the other side, and were scattered in two or three moves.

Several personal guards covered his retreat toward the northwest dense forest.

There seemed to be a black shadow moving in the forest, and two giant rocks were thrown again. This time the distance was too close, and a general beside City Guardian Liu was directly smashed off his horse.

Fortunately, his own horsemanship was not weak, so he pulled the reins and ran to the side.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind, and City Guardian Liu looked back, only to find that the black-armored knight leader had actually chased him personally!

"Kill him!"

He shouted twice in a row, but the personal guards around him just turned their heads, and no one turned back to intercept.

Just kidding, those black-armored soldiers were fierce enough, and their leader looked even more brutal; what could they use to kill him?

No one wanted to die.

In the end, everything had to be done by himself. City Guardian Liu was furious, and threw three earth-yellow round beads the size of pigeon eggs at the pursuers.

One of them hit the ground, and *bang*, it turned into a tall stone wall, four feet wide and two zhang high, with an uneven surface; anyone who hit it rashly would have their head broken and blood flowing.

The other two accurately smashed toward the black-armored knight leader, turning into two giant stone puppets in mid-air, with fists the size of millstones wanting to beat him and his horse together.

The stone wall happened to be right in front of the black-armored knight leader, and the two stone puppets blocked his way left and right.

The black-armored knight leader tapped his horse's belly, and the warhorse suddenly accelerated, charging forward with its head buried, brushing past them before the stone puppet's arms could swing down.

He himself took out a dark red meteor chain hammer and threw it toward the front.

This thing was covered in sharp spikes; the model in his palm looked normal, but as soon as it left his hand, it expanded rapidly, the size changing from an old coconut to a millstone, smashing heavily into the stone wall.

With a *bang*, dust flew, and the stone wall shattered.

This meteor chain still had momentum, and it flew out energetically, smashing two personal guards behind City Guardian Liu!

City Guardian Liu happened to look back, and seeing the meteor chain coming toward him, he let out a strange cry and hurriedly lowered his head.

His neck felt a gust of wind, and then the horse neighed, and his body lost balance—

The meteor chain hit the horse's neck, and the whole horse fell over.

City Guardian Liu on the horse couldn't escape either, and was thrown three zhang away by inertia.

But he didn't turn into a rolling gourd, because a long spear arrived first, *thud*, piercing his right arm and pinning him firmly to the tree behind!

"Ah—"

City Guardian Liu's scream went straight to the clouds, scaring the birds circling in the sky so they didn't dare to return to their nests.

The two stone puppets behind lost their master's command and fell back into two small dirt balls.

Watching the black-armored leader galloping toward him, City Guardian Liu cried with snot and tears:

"Spare me, you and I have no grievances..."

Another rider rushed from behind and reported to the leader: "Liu's subordinates are useless, those who fled fled, those who surrendered surrendered, all scattered. This one—"

He looked at City Guardian Liu: "What do you plan to do?"

City Guardian Liu's screaming was too loud, disturbing the conversation between the two, so He He Lingchuan, wearing a dragon-head mask, said: "Noisy."

Wanqifeng understood, grabbed a dagger, walked to City Guardian Liu, and stabbed his neck directly.

Blood flowed out immediately.

However, City Guardian Liu didn't die; Wanqifeng just destroyed his vocal cords. So no matter how miserably he screamed, he would only make a few *ho-ho* sounds.

However, City Defender Liu was not dead; Wanqifeng only destroyed his vocal cords. So no matter how miserably he screamed, he could only emit a few wheezing sounds.
