Chapter 274: Siege and Annihilation (Three Updates)

Early the next morning, Luoning received a report that the Bolante Bandit Group had already set off and was continuing to rush toward Jushi City.

This meant that the information blockade had worked; up until now, the other side still did not know that Keruien had been defeated.

Since that was the case, the arrangements Luoning had made in advance could be implemented.

He needed to clear the streets near the south gate of Jushi City and arrange the Noble Allied Forces on the left and right, waiting until the bandit group's army had all entered the city.

By surrounding them from the front, back, left, and right, attacking from four directions, the enemy's morale would surely be thrown into chaos.

Although there were transcendent beings in this world, human hearts could still influence battle.

In a state of panic, even a Golden Knight would find it difficult to perform at their normal level.

At the same time, the Knight Squad led by Maiken, which had already arrived at Kaxier Town via a dangerous mountain path the previous evening, was now stationed in the mountains, waiting for the signal to be sent out by Kaierluosi.

The morning sun was just rising, and the warm sunlight dispelled the morning chill for everyone.

Hum~

With a faint vibration, Aierlong could not help but look up at the sky, only to see a white cloud turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Maiken, look."

Maiken and the others looked up and happened to see this scene.

It was rare enough to see white clouds in the morning sky, let alone this white cloud turning red, which made it even more peculiar.

"This is Kaierluosi's signal!"

Maiken stood up and shouted loudly: "Everyone prepare, we will set off to attack Kaxier Town in three minutes!"

"This is our first battle, and also a critical one. I hope everyone will bring out twelve percent of their spirit and exert fifteen percent of their strength, so the Noble Allied Forces can see the combat power of our Wubei Territory!"

The Knight Squad of Wubei Territory let out a high-pitched cheer; they were also looking forward to this battle.

Soon, they left their station and, under the guidance of Warwick, approached Kaxier Town along a small path.

"There is a scout outpost ahead, usually guarded by two Guards," Warwick said.

As soon as the words fell, two figures emerged from the wooden house in the woods.

Swoosh, swoosh!

Qiaofuli and Luogena both darted out simultaneously; before these two could even see the situation clearly, their throats were slit.

"Continue forward!" Maiken shouted.

The exhausted Warwick had originally wanted to find an opportunity to escape, but after knowing the overall strength of this squad, he did not have any crooked thoughts at all.

"Further ahead is the entrance to Kaxier Town. There are usually a dozen people guarding it, but only two are Primary Knights; the others are all ordinary people."

Maiken gave a hum and ordered: "Dawei, Tangmu, Gelami, Tuomashi, you four take the lead on this place, with one Infantry squad assisting."

After the Bolante Bandit Group occupied Chishan Town, they had moved their main force to Chishan Town. Kaxier Town served as the rear; although there were small paths, with Keruien as an ally, there was no danger here.

Therefore, Maiken's Knight Squad would not encounter any difficulties.

At the same time, the Bolante Bandit Group had already arrived outside Jushi City.

Gilbert pointed at the city gate and said: "When I was observing secretly yesterday, there was still a squad of soldiers here, but now they have withdrawn."

"What use can a squad of soldiers be? They must have known our great army was coming and have joined up with the Noble Allied Forces."

While the few were talking, a rumbling sound came from afar.

Amikusi's heart stirred, and he guessed: "It must be the Noble Allied Forces attacking Jushi Castle!"

"It looks like they knew our great army was coming, and they are anxious."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's join up with our allies early and annihilate the Noble Allied Forces!"

Following Amikusi's command, the bandit group poured into Jushi City.

Once inside the city, although they found the main streets empty and not a single shadow in the surrounding houses, they did not find it strange.

The common people feared war, and upon learning that this place was to become a battlefield, it was inevitable that they would run away in advance.

However, they did not know that behind the houses far from the streets, many knights and soldiers were holding their breath, waiting for the signal to start the slaughter.

When they passed through the main street and could see Jushi Castle from afar.

Clatter, clatter~

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps rang out, and a squad of men and horses intercepted them directly in front.

Amikusi reined in his horse and looked with a smile at the young man leading the other side; that head of silver hair was very eye-catching.

"Hahaha, what, the Noble Allied Forces actually let you lead a small squad to intercept the great army from Chishan Town?"

The Bolante Bandit Group had brought out their entire main force this time!

Besides him, a Golden Knight, there were two Silver Knights, six Bronze Knights, twelve Advanced Knights, and fifty-six Primary and Intermediate Knights.

For Luoning to bring only one small squad was simply overestimating his own capabilities.

But just at this moment, footsteps sounded from the left and right sides, and more men and horses surrounded their flanks.

"This is?"

Amikusi's eyes widened.

"Oh no, we are surrounded!" Lanweisa's happy mood suddenly sank.

Huoerdan asked in a deep voice: "You all came to attack us, aren't you afraid of Keruien attacking from behind?"

Luoning spread his hands very relaxedly, "Jushi Castle was taken by us yesterday, don't you know?"

As the words fell, there was a stir among the bandit group.

Lanweisa shouted: "I knew that letter was fake!"

The other three also realized this, but it was too late.

Amikusi looked at the formation all around, and a desire to retreat had already sprouted in his heart.

Taking advantage of the chaos to escape should be possible.

As for these troops, they weren't cultivated with his own heart's blood anyway; if they were lost, they were lost, and at worst, he could just gather more later.

"That small path in Kaxier Town."

Luoning looked at Amikusi and spoke slowly: "It is said that Keruien's Knight Squad used that path to return to Jushi Territory from Chishan Town, avoiding the sight of the Wushan Castle Knight Squad."

Amikusi's eyes widened into perfect circles: "How do you know?"

"It was Warwick, it was definitely Warwick!" Lanweisa shrieked again.

"Damn it!"

Luoning offered a friendly reminder: "Warwick is truly a good man; it is precisely because of his help that my Knight Squad was able to take over Kaxier Town from you all so smoothly."

"You..."

For a moment, it wasn't just the four giants of the bandit group; the crowd of Knights and soldiers behind them all became restless.

Losing Kaxier Town meant they had lost their rear; there was nowhere left to retreat!

Originally, they had intended to sandwich the Noble Allied Forces, but now they were the ones being sandwiched instead!

Having succeeded in disrupting the enemy's morale, Luoning raised the Liuyan Sword high: "Everyone, listen to my command: annihilate the enemy army!"

"Kill!"

A deafening roar of battle cries erupted, and right there on the wide streets of Jushi City, a bloody battle began.

Upon hearing the sounds of slaughter, the rear army immediately swarmed over.

In an instant, the main force of the Bolante Bandit Group was like a dumpling being wrapped; enemies were everywhere—front, back, left, and right.

The Infantry squads in the back were directly and brutally slaughtered by the charging Knight squads, blood spraying and staining the ground red.

Battle Qi of various colors flared up as the battle between top-tier Knights began.

Amikusi's heart was trembling; now was not the time to consider how to make a comeback, but rather how to survive this slaughter.

"Kill!"

Because they knew of Amikusi's strength, Tolu, Mawen, and Talun charged straight at Amikusi;

Ruidar took on the Silver-tier Peak Deputy Commander Huoerdan in a one-on-one duel;

The remaining Gilbert and Lanweisa were dealt with by Deputy Commander Feilipu and Suoerstan.

This kind of street fighting and alley combat was a true meat grinder.

Influenced by this murderous atmosphere, Luoning ignited his Battle Qi Armor and charged into the crowd.

"Pfft!"

The Liuyan Sword sliced through inferior armor, carving long wounds into the enemies' bodies.

He delivered a flying kick, sending his opponent flying; the immense force caused the bandit group members to collapse in a row.

With Silver-tier Peak strength, he was simply invincible as long as he avoided the four giants of the bandit group.

"Kill, kill him!"

The Bronze Knights in the bandit group saw Luoning join the fray and immediately swarmed toward him.

If they could kill or capture someone from the Wushan Family, they might still have a glimmer of hope for survival.

Luoning also wanted a hearty, unrestrained battle, so he cast Speed and Light Body Technique on himself, moving as fast as a phantom.

"So fast!"

The Bronze Knight only felt a gust of wind brush past him, then sensed a chill at his neck; his carotid artery had been severed, and his consciousness rapidly blurred.

"Kill! Kill!"

Several Bronze and Advanced Knights closed in on Luoning; Luoning coordinated his movement technique with a spin, and a dense, fiery tornado expanded outward, sweeping away those weaker Advanced Knights.

"Damn, this kid Luoning is actually this strong!"

Mawen, who had been kicked away, stood up just in time to see this scene and couldn't help but curse in anger.

Compared to Luoning's wide-open, aggressive battle with the bandit group, his own contest with the Golden Knight Amikusi seemed cautious; at times he couldn't even engage head-on, and could only assist Tolu from the side along with Talun.

Moreover, it wasn't hard to see that Tolu was no match for Amikusi either.

After all, the latter was Along-renowned Golden Knight, while Tolu had broken through less than a year ago.

"Pfft!"

Ruidar pierced Huoerdan's throat with his sword, becoming the first person to kill one of the four giants of the bandit group.

"You are weaker than I imagined," he remarked.

Huoerdan's throat gurgled, but he couldn't make a single sound.

If not for this lapse in performance, he wouldn't have been defeated so easily; the key factor was the news Luoning brought, which had disrupted his fighting.

In the moment before his consciousness faded, he already knew that the Bolante Bandit Group was finished this time. (End of chapter)
