Chapter 169 Ten-Meter-Long Sword Energy

With Frank's death, the cavalry regiment of the Third Legion of Peter City finally began to collapse.

Most people retreated to the town of Kavri in the rear and returned to the city under the cover of their own infantry regiment.

A small number of people were so angry that they chose to fight to the death, attacking but not defending, and did not mind dying together. They killed the enemy like crazy. Although this behavior was crazy, it made the enemy fearful and also gave their teammates a chance to escape.

But the final result of these people was to become a corpse, forever sleeping in this land.

In the end, only less than 400 of the more than 2,300 knights and infantry regiments belonging to the Third Legion successfully escaped back to the city, and the rest were either killed or captured.

For a legion, this is a big loss.

Bang bang bang!

Dense gunshots rang out.

Lu He looked over and then smiled helplessly.

It turned out that some of them were also so angry that they chased the remaining enemies all the way and rushed to the city wall.

They were repelled by the infantry firepower net on the city wall. Fortunately, they were protected by heavy armor and no one died, only injured.

The enemy artillery also fired a few shots symbolically, but stopped after not achieving any results.

The artillery in this world is also developing rapidly. It can be roughly divided into cannons, howitzers, mortars, etc. The shells used include solid bullets, grenades, shotguns... There are many types, and the lethality is also good.

Artillery is indeed a great threat to ordinary infantry, especially when the infantry forms a dense formation to launch an attack, facing artillery always suffers heavy casualties.

But for knights who have embarked on the extraordinary road, the threat of artillery is not as great as that of muskets.

Muskets can form a cross-fire net, covering 360 degrees without dead angles, so knights can only resist.

However, artillery is clumsy and heavy, and it takes half a day to adjust the firing angle, and the firing rate is even worse.

Moreover, although the shells fired are lethal, they are extremely slow and can be easily avoided.

Unless the knight takes the initiative to attack the city wall or trench defended by artillery, the artillery can exert its power. Otherwise, in the wild, it is just a pile of scrap metal for the knight.

However, it is impolite not to return the favor. Since the other party has fired the artillery, he should at least say hello.

Lu He picked up a sword from the ground and walked towards the city wall, stopping when he was fifty or sixty meters away from the city wall.

At this distance, the power of his sword will not decrease.

"What does that man want to do?" On the city wall, an infantryman pointed at Lu He and asked in confusion.

"He doesn't want to attack the city alone, does he?" His companion next to him guessed.

"Who cares what he does, watch me shoot him!"

A sergeant raised the musket in his hand. It was difficult for ordinary soldiers to hit at this distance, but he was a famous sharpshooter in the regiment, and it was easy for him.

"The fire stick is useless, watch me shoot him." An artillery lieutenant stopped the sergeant.

He was upset because he had fired several shots but had no results. This person was standing there motionless. He was a very competent target and deserved a single shot.

Hearing the lieutenant's words, the sergeant did not refute, but put down the gun in his hand and helped adjust the angle of the cannon. The man was obviously a transcendent, and the gun was really useless.

Lu He did not move because he was holding back his big move.

It takes time to release the big move.

The sword in his hand continued to vibrate, causing the air around the sword to produce ripples like water waves.

At the same time, the mental power in his mind was also rapidly deriving invisible runes. The runes attached to the sword body, forming a complex formation, absorbing the energy particles in the void.

"Cut!"

Feeling that it was almost done, Lu He whispered softly, and the knight's sword suddenly slashed forward with a trajectory that had been tempered by thousands of hammers.

Whoosh!

The sound of the sword breaking through the air resounded through the void.

A huge, ten-meter-long energy sword energy slashed out from his sword, and the air in the void was directly cut open. The sound of the sound barrier breaking suddenly sounded, sharp and piercing.

Boom!

The sword energy slashed on the city wall, and directly cut the city wall that was tempered and attached with steel like a dead tree.

The violent burst of sword energy filled every corner of the city wall, killing, disintegrating, and crushing all the soldiers, turrets, arrow stacks... all the defensive forces on it!

A cannon that had just been ignited and not yet fired exploded violently, and then triggered the ammunition behind it. The hot flames and splashing fragments destroyed all the objects around.

One sword!

It was just one sword, although the sword was ten meters long.

After one sword, the creatures within dozens of meters were extinct and the city wall collapsed. Its power made all the people nearby, not only the remaining soldiers in Kafri Town, but also the knights of Highland City behind Lu He, completely sluggish and scared.

The battlefield gradually quieted down, and the indescribable mood spread to everyone's heart. The throat seemed to be choked, and the emotions that needed to be vented were blocked there and slowly brewed.

"The Soros family must win! The Empire must win!"

After a moment of silence, Dutan was the first to shout, leading all the knights, whether they were Soros family knights or highland city knights, to shout loudly.

The surging momentum of the legion commander in front made everyone's heartbeat violently.

This generation of legion commanders, the head of the Soros family, refreshed their understanding of strength.

The intense cheering injected new strength into their exhausted bodies. The suspicion of Sauron in their hearts when they came here not only completely dissipated, but after this sword, their trust and admiration for the Soros family and the head of the Sauron family rose to a new level!

The soldiers of Kafri Town on the opposite side were completely the opposite. They looked uneasy, their hearts were shrouded in a huge haze, fear was growing, and panic spread rapidly in the army.

Some conscientious officers shouted loudly and reorganized the soldiers to fill the defense line, fearing that the enemy would take the opportunity to rush in.

"My lord, please accept Du Tan's loyalty!" Du Tan knelt on one knee, holding his knight's sword in both hands.

Behind him were a large number of knights and attendants who knelt down.

Lu He nodded with satisfaction.

...

Five minutes later, Lu He saw Bol again.

Very miserable.

He lay on the ground, missing an arm, with wounds all over his body, motionless. If it weren't for his chest still rising and falling slightly, Lu He would have suspected that he was already dead.

"Sauron, you colluded with aliens, associated with half-elves, and harmed humans. You are extremely evil!"

"You also wantonly provoked the war between the Sayue Federation and the Crescent Empire. Can you bear this responsibility!"

Boer no longer had the arrogance at the beginning, but his mouth was still as hard and broken as ever.

"Is your brain okay?"

Lu He mocked, and then looked at Selya who was looking bitter, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, but it hurts." Selya pouted her little mouth, and her tone was very much like being a spoiled child.

There was a scratch of about ten centimeters on her white, delicate and smooth arm, and there were spots of blood on her skin.

This wound was caused by Boer's sudden outburst. She was inexperienced in close combat and was almost cut off her neck. At the critical moment, she was blocked by a red line that suddenly burst out from the tip of her hair.

Then her arm was scratched.

The wound was not deep, and it was almost healed now.

Boer looked at this pair of dogs and bitches, hatred, jealousy, fear...filled his heart, extremely complicated.

He didn't die after the passionate outbreak of risking his life, so he didn't want to die now, he wanted to live, because this colorful world still needed him to participate, and the heinous crimes of the Soros family still needed him to destroy personally.

At this moment, a huge survival instinct occupied his mind.

Bol's thoughts were flying, and suddenly he said: "Sorron, if you let me go, this conflict still has... umm!"

"Keep an eye on him, I still need him." Lu He kicked his mouth and signaled Mark to take him away.

The experimental materials for the knight class are available.

...

The earth trembled, and the sound of rolling horse hooves sounded again.

Lu He led the Knights away.

Behind him was the ruined and bloody battlefield, and the soldiers of Kavri Town who survived the disaster.

That sword destroyed the city wall, creating a huge defense gap, although rushing in could easily take down this military town standing in the north of Highland City.

But Lu He didn't, he just left.

Because the purpose of his trip was achieved, there was no need to continue killing, there was no point in doing so.

He had no intention of expanding his territory, nor was he interested in the black coal in the Kambala Mountains.

It was useless to continue attacking and taking over Kafri Town, so he might as well go back and have lunch early.

Of course, there was another reason, that although this operation was not a solitary advance, it was also within the sphere of influence of Peter City, and enemy reinforcements might appear around at any time.

If he stayed here, he would be surrounded.

He was not invincible, and if there were too many knights and he was besieged, there would still be a little danger.

So he quickly returned to Blackstone Fortress and hid.
