Chapter 92: 92. The King of Finishing Blows

Sileiyin considered himself the leader of the Three-Party Alliance and had visited the Qingzhu and Ziguo tribes more than once; in his heart, he had long regarded these two allies as his own possessions.

After receiving the news from Lauren, he excitedly led his team to rush here without stopping, both to rescue Jennie and Ailin and to annex the Ziguo tribe.

Yet he never expected that when he led his men to charge into the mountain stronghold, he would see Jennie and Huoen walking toward them, their affectionate appearance extremely glaring—where was there even a shadow of them being imprisoned?

"This is?" Sileiyin looked bewildered.

Mamu's expression changed, and he whispered a warning: "Oh no, Jennie was indeed lying! My lord, I suggest we withdraw from the stronghold first!"

The three Knights and several cavalrymen beside him also changed their expressions, but Sileiyin sneered.

"What is there to fear? Do you think they can even beat us?"

Just then, rapid footsteps came from behind them; it was Ruidar and Tangmu leading a team, blocking their path of retreat.

Sileiyin looked back and felt that things were not looking good.

He turned back again, staring at Jennie with a grim gaze, "Damn bitch, you actually dared to lie to me!"

Jennie was not angry at this; instead, she wore a faint smile, "I am very sorry Sileiyin, I did indeed lie to you. However, I have also brought you an opportunity that can allow you to shed your 'savage' identity."

She stepped forward, "This is Baron Luoning. He is the lord of Shanlin Town and, furthermore, of the bloodline of the Wushan Family. He has already conquered the Qingzhu tribe with his strength and killed Knight Wili, and I have also led my followers to submit to him. Now, it is time for you to choose."

"As a former ally, I kindly remind you that pledging loyalty to Lord Luoning is your only choice."

The people of the Huitu tribe were shocked by this introduction from Jennie, especially Mamu. He had envisioned the Ziguo tribe and the Heiling tribe uniting, but he never expected a noble to suddenly appear in the Wubei Woodland, and that this noble was a family member of the master of the Wushan Territory.

"Baron of Shanlin Town? Of the Wushan Family?"

Sileiyin turned his angry gaze toward Luoning, his brows locked in a frown.

No wonder, no wonder he felt a sense of discomfort when he had just swept his eyes over this silver-haired youth. Wasn't the leader of the Noble Allied Forces who had hunted them down back then also silver-haired?

However, wanting him to submit to a noble was an impossible thing.

Sileiyin's greatest wish was to become a noble himself, or if he couldn't be a noble, to be the leader of a faction; that was much more enjoyable than pledging loyalty to others.

To him, even surrendering to the Heiling tribe would be more comfortable than pledging loyalty to a noble.

He slowly drew the long sword hanging at his horse's side, narrowed his small eyes, and said coldly: "Silver-haired brat, wanting me to submit to you? Dream on!"

"Giddy-up!"

Sileiyin violently kicked the horse's belly and actually launched a charge directly, not leaving Luoning even a chance to negotiate.

Jennie was right; this person was confident, arrogant, conceited, and had no brains.

"My lord, be careful!"

Jennie exclaimed, and Knight Huoen beside her was already prepared to act.

Their surrender was real, and they did not want to see anything happen to Luoning.

However, someone was faster than them.

Maiken, who had been guarding Luoning's side the whole time, had already moved the moment the opponent began to charge.

He stomped the ground violently, and surging Battle Qi poured out; the ground shook violently, and halfway through the opponent's charge, the earth rose abruptly to form an Earth Wall barrier.

"Break for me!"

Sileiyin let out a roar, slashing out a sharp Sword Radiance that slammed into the Earth Wall, shattering it. At the same time, Battle Qi enveloped his and his warhorse's bodies, forming a huge, galloping armor.

Leaping with his horse, Sileiyin crossed the shattered Earth Wall and broke through.

Luoning's eyes lit up; this Sileiyin's fighting style was very savage. If he could subdue him, it would count as gaining a fierce general.

But soon, this thought of his was extinguished.

Maiken was not afraid in the slightest; even without a warhorse, his short-range burst speed was extremely fast. The two sides came toward each other and collided almost in an instant.

"Die!"

Sileiyin was high above, stabbing his sword toward Maiken. He did not expect this Knight to be so unafraid of death, daring to deliver himself under his sword.

The moment Maiken brushed past the opponent's warhorse, he seized the opportunity to attack, meeting the opponent with a powerful sword strike.

The long swords clashed, and a massive force erupted on the blades.

Maiken was shaken back, while Sileiyin was knocked away like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The warhorse he was sitting on was also overturned by the force of this blow, plowing over ten meters on the ground due to inertia, stopping a few meters in front of Luoning.

"Aierlong, quickly, go heal this horse!" Luoning ordered in a hurry.

Aierlong had already finished making the Healing Spell Scrolls over the past two days; apart from cultivating, he would look to see if anyone in the Qingzhu and Ziguo tribes needed him to heal them.

If there were, he would cast a Healing Spell, which could both let the injured person get up to work and spread the kindness of the Lord.

He didn't expect that his Healing Spell would be used on a horse now.

Well, a horse was indeed a bit expensive.

"As you wish, my lord!" The Magic user accepted the order happily.

While they began to save the horse, Sileiyin crawled up from the dust; his face was filled with terror, and his expression changed drastically. This Baron was a bit strong.

"Mamu, attack! Everyone, go together! Kill this noble, and we will still be the Kings of the Mountain!"

The roar woke Mamu, who had been shocked by the battle just now, and his mind raced.

For him, surrendering was also not a good choice because he had betrayed Jennie.

Now that Jennie had surrendered to Luoning first and had also offered such a good strategy, she must have won the Baron's favor. If he surrendered now, it was very likely that Jennie would demand his execution.

At that time, this young Baron would very likely agree to that request.

"If Sileiyin dies, he dies. As long as I lead the men to break out, I can completely be the leader myself once I return to the Huitu tribe! Then, by cooperating with the Heiling tribe and relying on the power behind them, I won't have to fear this Baron."

In an instant, Mamu had already thought of a way out, "Babulin, and everyone, Sileiyin is finished. Those who want to live, follow me and charge out! Those who stay will only die! That Baron and Jennie will not let anyone go!"

He had almost no hesitation, immediately turning his horse's head to charge outward instead of following Sileiyin's words to launch a charge at Luoning.

Babulin and the other three Primary Knights, as well as the five cavalrymen, were stunned for a moment, but then they also did not hesitate, turning their horses' heads to follow Mamu and charge outward.

Many things in the Huitu tribe were arranged by Mamu; they trusted his judgment.

"Betrayal, damn it, you actually dare to betray me!"

Sileiyin roared, his eyes bloodshot, and the Battle Qi on his body became incomparably manic, "Kill!"

He could no longer care about anything else; only by breaking through Maiken's defensive line and capturing Luoning as a hostage would he have a chance at survival.

However, no matter how he charged or how he changed his offensive, he was defended against tightly by Maiken and could not advance a single step.

On the other side, Mamu and the others, who were just about to charge out, were met with a massive cloud of fire.

This fire cloud was like a red cloth covering the sky, descending upon them to blot out everything!

The warhorses let out terrified neighs and immediately lost their footing.

The cavalrymen on horseback were unsteady and immediately tumbled to the ground; Mamu, reacting slightly faster, raised his sword to strike out a Battle Qi Slash, but he was sent flying by the impact force brought by the fire cloud and fell off his horse.

Ruidar swung his longsword, "Take them down!"

Tangmu, Wodun, Dandi, and the others led the Guards and militia to immediately surround them.

The battle ended very quickly; under Ruidar's leadership, not one of the ten people including Mamu escaped, and all of them were captured and pressed to kneel on the ground, with two swords held to their necks, not daring to move at all.

At the same time, Sileiyin, who had been thoroughly toyed with by Maiken, had already been beaten to the ground and could not stand up.

Jennie and Huoen watched the battle before them in shock, not expecting that Luoning could win so easily in a head-on confrontation with these people from the Huitu Tribe.

Their gazes shifted between Maiken and Ruidar.

The combat power these two had just displayed was truly too strong; they definitely possessed Advanced Peak strength, and could even rival a Bronze Knight.

Looking at Luoning, he had not made a single move from beginning to end; this calm and composed state showed that he was very clear about and trusted in the strength of his subordinates.

Jennie and Huoen felt very fortunate that they had surrendered voluntarily that night.

Luoning walked to Maiken's side, "How does it feel to have stretched your limbs this time?"

Maiken smiled, still wanting more, "Thank you, my lord, for this opportunity, but this guy is too weak; I could probably have defeated him when I was an Intermediate Knight."

Nearby, Sileiyin heard Luoning approach, turned his face, and stared fixedly at Luoning.

A few hours ago, he was still a leader enjoying the service of others and deciding the life and death of hundreds, but at this moment, he had become someone else's prisoner.

And the culprit behind all of this was this silver-haired guy before him.

"I will... kill you!"

Sileiyin gripped the sword on the ground, extreme hatred making him unable to let go of his obsession; if he hadn't been unable to stand, he definitely would have lunged at Luoning.

"Should I praise you for being a real man, or should I say you are ignorant of the times?"

Luoning took the sword from Maiken's hand.

Originally, he had wanted to try and see if he could take the other party into his own service, but now there was no need.

For one, the other party was not strong, just charging mindlessly;

Secondly, and most importantly, the look of extreme hatred in Sileiyin's eyes just now made Luoning feel very uncomfortable; this kind of hatred could not be eliminated by measures like restoring his status as a Free Citizen.

Considering everything, even if such a person were kept, he would very likely become a source of trouble in the future.

Pfft!

Luoning pierced the other party's throat with one sword strike, ending Sileiyin's life.

【"King of Slaughter" achievement unlocked, Attribute Point +80, Energy Essence +160】

"Please call me the King of Finishing Blows," Luoning thought to himself.
