Chapter 455: Green-Skinned Monsters, You Can't Escape!

"Boom!"

A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and the Bloodthirsty Bat Knight along with his mount vanished from Gervas and the others' sight.

"This…" The remaining three Bloodthirsty Bat Knights were stunned.

Earlier, they had been able to trade blows evenly with so many Gryphon Knights and Bloodthirsty Bat Knights.

Their confidence was full.

But how could it be that in an instant, with just one strike, their companion had simply perished?

And besides, how had that black iron pipe appeared?

"Long live my lord!"

Compared with the bat knights' shock, Mike and the others were wildly excited.

These Bloodthirsty Bat Knights had earlier beaten them until they had no temper left.

Yet now they had been killed in a single strike by their own lord — this was absolutely something that lifted the spirits.

As for how the cannon had appeared, they did not care.

In any case, it was perfectly normal for their lord to have some secret.

As his subordinates, things they shouldn't ask about naturally didn't need to be asked.

"Let's go!"

At this moment, the remaining three Bloodthirsty Bat Knights dared not linger any longer.

What a joke — that black iron pipe was actually that powerful, why would they still fight?

Naturally, the faster they could flee, the faster they fled.

"My lord, those guys want to run!" Mike and the others, who had been in high spirits, changed expression and immediately cried out anxiously.

"They can't escape!"

Gervas gave a cold laugh and directly controlled Chasing Moon to give chase.

In just an instant, Gervas had come alongside one of the Bloodthirsty Bat Knights, riding level with him.

This Bloodthirsty Bat Knight was greatly alarmed and, gritting his teeth, slashed a blade toward Gervas.

Unfortunately, Gervas was even faster.

A black iron pipe appeared in his arms in an instant.

Rumble rumble!

Pfft pfft pfft!

The Bloodthirsty Bat Knight's body stiffened; his long blade was still raised in midair, yet he no longer had the strength to bring it down.

Because his body was already riddled with bloody holes, and the Bloodthirsty Bat beneath him was the same.

Immediately after, this Bloodthirsty Bat Knight likewise began to fall along with his mount.

Boom!

With another muffled thud, the second Bloodthirsty Bat Knight crashed to the ground.

"Long live my lord!" Mike and the others cheered once more.

The remaining two Bloodthirsty Bat Knights, meanwhile, were scared out of their wits, their eyes full of terror, desperately urging their mounts to speed up.

But this Bloodthirsty Bat was hardly known for its speed — even a Demon Swifthawk could be half a beat faster than it.

So how could it possibly outpace Chasing Moon!

"You can't escape!"

Gervas caught up with another Bloodthirsty Bat Knight.

Looking at Gervas's smile, the Bloodthirsty Bat Knight only felt cold air rushing all over his body.

Seeing that Gervas had already made an embracing motion, this Bloodthirsty Bat Knight went deathly pale.

Gritting his teeth, he directly controlled his mount to dive downward in a high-difficulty plunging maneuver toward the ground below.

Rumble rumble!

And in the very instant he dove, the cannon roared out.

Pfft pfft pfft!

"Eh?"

Gervas gave a startled exclamation.

His cannon shot had actually missed the Bloodthirsty Bat Knight he had been aiming at, and instead struck his teammate.

That teammate was also unlucky — originally he had been hiding at his side, with the idea of using his body to block Gervas's attack.

But who could have known that when the Bloodthirsty Bat Knight in the middle suddenly dodged, the cannon's target became him.

At once, this Bloodthirsty Bat Knight's eyes went wide, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Boom!

A moment later, another cloud of dust rose from the ground.

"Long live my lord!"

"Mike, you all keep up the chase! I need to stop and reload!" At this moment, Gervas suddenly slowed down.

"Yes, my lord!"

Mike and the others also knew that a cannon indeed needed reloading.

At once, each of them once more rushed forward desperately, wanting to entangle this last Bloodthirsty Bat Knight.

And this last Bloodthirsty Bat Knight only now secretly wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.

Having narrowly escaped death, he saw that Gervas had actually stopped, and at once felt that the chance to escape and ascend to the heavens had finally come for him.

Gritting his teeth, he directly used a short blade to stab into a vital acupoint on the Bloodthirsty Bat beneath him.

"Roar!"

The Bloodsucking Bat Steed, feeling pain, actually accelerated its flying speed in an instant.

"Ruthless!" Mike and the others hadn't expected this beastman to actually bring himself to harm his own mount.

However, his method really did work, and Mike and the others could only watch helplessly as he sped away.

……

As for Gervas, after landing swiftly, he immediately began reloading the cannons.

This contraption was, after all, something Gervas had "invented" himself.

Therefore, the initial reloading was also something he personally experimented with, and then taught the cannon squad the mature reloading technique hands-on.

Although his speed now certainly couldn't compare with the cannon squad that trained all day.

But the standard reloading was still not in Huaxia.

Five or six minutes later, the three cannons were reloaded once more.

Gervas repeated the same trick with the lengthened fuse, then quickly lit it.

While the fuse was burning, he once again stored the three cannons into his storage space.

"Zhuiyue, let's go!"

Afterwards, Gervas once again set off in pursuit with Zhuiyue.

At the same time, the Bloodsucking Bat Knight who had fled earlier, with the potential his mount had been forced to unleash, finally caught up with his other group of teammates.

"Eh! Balini, why are you back? Isn't it not yet time for the rotation? Also, where are Kekadi and the others?" This group of teammates was somewhat startled, after all they had agreed on the rotation time, but that limit had not yet been reached.

"Captain! Kekadi and the others are dead… all of them are dead…"

"Dead? How is that possible? It's not that I look down on those griffin knights and demon-swift eagles—if their numbers were sufficient, killing one or two of our Bloodsucking Bat Knights would still be possible!"

"But right now their numbers aren't that many, and I already told you all to be extremely cautious, not to clash head-on with them—why would this still happen?"

The Bloodsucking Bat Knight squad leader was utterly shocked.

"Captain, it wasn't those griffin knights and demon-swift eagles, but their lord, that noble called Gervas—he rode a flying horse and caught up to us, and then…"

Immediately, this Balini reported everything that had happened before to the Bloodsucking Bat Knight squad leader.

"Damn it!" Hearing that this Gervas not only possessed an extremely fast flying horse, but had also used that peculiar black iron tube as a weapon against them, the Bloodsucking Bat captain was both shocked and furious.

"Captain, just now that Gervas seemed to say something about reloading ammunition—I took that chance to wound my Bloodsucking Bat, forcing out its potential to escape. Let's run now! Otherwise, if that damned human noble catches up, it'll really be terrifying!"

Balini recalled the fate of his three companions earlier, and even now couldn't help shivering.

The Bloodsucking Bat squad leader, hearing this, had just been about to say something.

But suddenly heard a long warhorse neigh from behind.

He turned his head to look back, and instantly the faces of the Bloodsucking Bat Knight squad leader and the others went pale.

Because that long neigh was precisely emitted by the flying horse Balini had mentioned.

And on that horse's back—wasn't that the human noble Gervas?

"Green-skins, you can't escape!" Gervas curled the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of cold intent!
