The originally neat castle turned into a sea of fire, with cries of grief and shouting everywhere. Deep in the castle, several knights in heavy armor blocked the passage.
They held greatswords and faced straight ahead, while behind them, a group of crossbowmen were holding crossbows high, aiming at the passage ahead.
"Hah." There was a sound of bricks breaking, and then a strong man wearing an iron helmet walked out from the ruins.
He was holding a double-edged axe with a layer of cloth tightly wrapped around the steel handle to prevent it from slipping and to facilitate use. The axe was covered with scratches and small dents from bumps, which showed that this weapon had been used for quite some time.
"The Bull Guhuas?" The knights recognized this famous local adventurer.
"Even you are rebelling?" The butler hiding behind the guards showed disgust and displeasure on his face, and just wanted to kill this brute force guy quickly.
"Of course it's the other way around. Isn't that very interesting? Haha." This strong extraordinary man had skin as white as tung oil. In the light of the brazier in the corridor, his huge muscles were like a python. People could feel the powerful force emanating from him just by looking at him.
"Actually, I don't have any ideals, but this happens to be a chance to beat you up and take some things at the same time. It's a pretty fun thing." He dragged the axe slowly across the ground. The axe tip rubbed against the floor, making a friction sound and leaving shallow grooves.
Looking at the powerful warrior who was gradually approaching, the knights and guards in the hall couldn't help but swallow their saliva, feeling nervous and under great pressure.
Rumor has it that this Gu Huasi has hunted multiple Sequence 6 monsters, possessing such immense power that he's practically unrivaled in Dragon Horn Province. To truly defeat him, one would likely have to seek out the military's top Transcendents.
"Order is collapsing, order is collapsing, hahaha." Looking at the frightened noble lord in front of him, the warrior smiled with joy, then strode forward, swinging the giant axe in his hand with a terrifying scream.
"Shoot! Shoot!" A sharp cry came from the butler's mouth, and then a dense stream of black rain of steel arrows was shot.
"Useless, haha."
He swung the axe regardless, letting the arrows hit his body, making clanging sounds.
"Damn it." The butler's feet couldn't help but tremble a few times, and he almost couldn't stand, and the knights in front of him also rushed out.
The sound of weapons clashing suddenly echoed in the hall. Although these knights were only Sequence 4, fortunately there were nearly ten of them, and with a coordinated effort, they barely managed to hold off this powerful warrior.
Bang!
The axe hit the ground, causing bricks and stones to fly. Then he stood up and chopped again, cutting down several surrounding figures. In an instant, a gap appeared in the encirclement formation.
Gu Huas broke through and rushed straight towards the archers guarding the door. The axe swept across and chopped down these people like cutting vegetables.
Then he kicked the door open, revealing a luxurious bedroom.
Inside the room, the local viscount was hugging his lover, and in front of them was a trembling noble girl, who was the viscount's child.
"It's really shameful, Your Excellency." He swept his hand behind his crotch to block the sudden attacking swords, and then knocked these people away again.
"What are you going to do..." The Viscount stepped back in fear on the bed. Looking at his well-maintained skin covered with white powder, it seemed that he seldom went out and his body was not very agile.
"Of course it's killing, hahahaha."
With a sharp blow of the axe, the noble viscount, whose family had held the throne for centuries, perished. Seeing the man they had pledged their loyalty dead, the other knights fled in fear, leaving the hall in chaos, and the butler had disappeared without a trace.
Amidst the raging flames and the clamor and shouting, the castle finally slowly burned and collapsed, with the crowd cheering enthusiastically below.
"Hero, Guwas!"
"Hero, Guwas!"
The local rebels greeted the strong new leader by shouting out the name.

On the mountain road, a carriage was moving slowly forward, and the driver seemed to have noticed something and gradually led the carriage to the side of the road and stopped.
After a while, a series of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded on the road, which was the sound of cavalry passing by.
Wearing steel armor, dark red cloaks and decorations, these elite cavalrymen were like sharp sabers, marching on the road with murderous intent.
"What happened?" Yiena heard the dense sound of horse hooves outside, and curiously stuck her head out to take a look.
"Don't come out." Loran Hill's voice sounded in her ear, and then the girl stayed obediently in the carriage until the sound outside completely disappeared.
The heavy curtain was lifted, revealing the figure of Loran Hill. She first comforted Iena before telling her what she had just seen.
"Those should be the elite troops of the empire."
They were wearing dark red cloaks and decorated with clothes ropes, and their fine steel breastplates were forged using improved technology in recent years. Even in a flash, the girl could clearly see the sabers on the waists of these people, and they were all of the same type of wound-removing blades.
This is a Silver-rated transcendental artifact, now widely distributed to new-style legions. Those who receive it are essentially the Regent's diehard followers. The soldiers of these elite legions are exceptionally powerful. A single individual can easily slay a Sequence 3 beast. A Sequence 4 beast, coordinated by two or three, can easily handle it. When formed into a formation, they can even take on top Sequence 6 and 7 beings.
Thinking back to the wolfsbane potion he had brewed during the Emenas period, if he gave these soldiers a short-term boost potion, their lethality could even be taken to the next level.
