Once he entered the floating state, it meant that he entered into Du Yuqi's rhythm. He immediately sent out a blood cross, aiming at Captain Kras and cutting it. Then, before Captain Kras landed, he jumped into the air, holding the sword with both hands and stabbed hard downwards!

Silver blade falling!

The stab directly hit Captain Krass, triggering the passive effect of the weapon: additional fire damage, causing flames to burst out of Captain Krass's body. At the same time, when it touched the ground, it generated a strong shock wave in the surroundings. At this time, several modified humans had gathered around and wanted to come over to intercept and help, but they were hit by the shock wave and lost their balance and fell to the ground.

After Du Yuqi landed on the ground, he immediately fired another Earth-Splitting Wave Sword. The weapon he held, "Kulan's Flame Shadow Sword", had the ability to strengthen the Earth-Splitting Wave Sword, making it even more powerful. This attack was like a gust of hot wind, which blew away the still struggling Captain Kras with a bang.

When Captain Kras was hit by the Earth-Splitting Wave Sword, the flames enveloping him became more and more intense as he rolled over. Then there was a series of violent explosions, and then the reserve ammunition in his body began to detonate in a series of ways. Finally, he was completely surrounded by flames while struggling, completely motionless, and there were constant crackling sounds and thick black smoke coming out from inside.

Du Yuqi was extremely surprised that Captain Kraus was killed so easily. In his estimation, it would be good enough to escape unscathed from this guy. After all, this guy had powerful firepower and could fly. More importantly, he had a group of fearless minions who listened to his orders.

To be honest, this was mainly because the "+11 Kulan's Flame Shadow Sword" in his hand was extremely powerful. Du Yuqi was racing against time and did not dare to delay any longer. He did not even dare to distract himself to get the other two secret treasures hidden in the Earl of Ratnis's Mansion. He rushed out directly according to the information he had collected before.

When Du Yuqi climbed over the wall and came to the street, he was stunned. It seemed to be early morning. A cool and crisp air blew in his face, which lifted his spirits. The scenery in front of him was completely different from that of Huttonmar.

The entire street in front of him was very wide. The entire long street looked dark, as if it was made of cold steel. The houses on both sides of the long street were also the same color, and they were square and neatly arranged, exuding a serious and dull style. However, Du Yuqi knew that this was only because when the city of Xiatli was built, the local specialty black granite was used, so the tone of the entire city was this solemn black.

There are no street lights on the long street, but about ten meters above the center of the street, there are balls of light floating in the air. Each ball of light is six meters apart and arranged very neatly. It looks quite beautiful. The light emitted by these balls of light is enough to illuminate all the ground.

If you look at it during the day, you will find that the body of the light ball is just a translucent cube about the size of a fingernail hovering in the air. It hovers in the air using a principle similar to magnetic levitation. Its core function is a small colorless crystal. If you don't look carefully, it will be difficult to recognize.

When this crystal lighting technology became popular, it received a considerable degree of opposition. However, with the popularity of crystal heating and crystal pots, more and more people have begun to adapt to and use this more convenient and faster technology.

However, it does not include the Bantu people.

The Bantu people are strong warriors living in the snowy mountains. They are good at taming animals and ice magic. They are the collective name of all the indigenous people living in the snowy area of ​​​​Ston. They are divided into several major factions that worship wolves, hares, and bison as totems. Because they have to fight against the cold all year round, most of them are strong, addicted to strong liquor, and have violent personalities.

The Bantu people also produce various specialties from the snow-capped mountains, but when trading with people living down the mountain, they are often deceived and blinded, so it becomes normal for them to fight over a disagreement, and eventually the transaction turns into robbery - unfortunately, most of the merchants on the empire's side are victims.

For a long time, trade between the Bantu and the Empire was almost completely cut off. The Bantu would come down the mountain as bandits to plunder and rob, taking away everything they wanted. However, even the powerful Delos Empire was almost helpless against them...

Because, if you want to wipe them out, the Bantu people live in the high snowy area of ​​​​Ston. Fighting in such a special environment, the Bantu people can exert extraordinary strength. Although the elite of the empire are very powerful, fighting in such a high-altitude and cold zone, altitude sickness and frostbite are the least of their problems. If there is an avalanche, thousands of people will not be enough to bury them.

Therefore, the empire could only passively defend itself helplessly. The city of Shatli was originally a militarized fortress. The troops stationed in the fortress, to a certain extent, existed to suppress the Bantu people.

It was not until later that the empire implemented a strategy of clearing the countryside, evacuating civilians from around the snow-capped mountains and abandoning the fields, leaving the Bantu people with nothing to rob when they came down the mountain. Only then did the unruly Bantu people finally become much more obedient and willing to sit down and negotiate with the empire.

Abandoning a large amount of fertile land and clearing the countryside is also a great harm to the empire, and it not only damages the prestige, but also damages the actual interests. At the same time, the domestic demand for special products from the snow-capped mountains is also huge, and the food, spirits, etc. that the Bantu people need are not really great things.

Under such circumstances, the empire put aside its arrogance and negotiated with the Bantu people, and finally incorporated them into the empire's territory. It seemed that the problem was solved once and for all. However, strictly speaking, the high degree of cohesion within the Bantu people meant that they were impenetrable. The officials of the empire could not rule them effectively at all, so they were still in a state of autonomy.
