Chapter 618: Mine outside the city (Part 2)
Since becoming the captain of the personal guards, Silk has become one of the closest confidants to their king.
In this process, their familiarity with their king naturally increased day by day.
Now considering the situation, Silk basically knows the general idea with just one look from their king.
During this time, Zhou Xu naturally heard the shouting from both sides clearly, but he did not intend to care.
As the captain of his own personal guards, Silk also needs some ability to handle things independently. Especially since Silk himself has certain command talents, he should be given some opportunities to train as much as possible.
Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that he really did not take the opponent's military strength seriously.
Although the cavalryman said he didn't believe what Silk had just said, he whipped his horse more vigorously when he rode back to report the news, and basically rushed all the way back to the mine.
There are only a few dozen soldiers stationed at the mine, and the one in charge is just a minor military officer.
After hearing the news brought back by his subordinates, his face suddenly changed.
Although the subordinate said that the other party's words might not be credible, he still couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
They gave up resistance and surrendered. If what the other side said was a lie, they would be dead once their large army arrived.
On the other hand, if the other party is telling the truth and they choose to resist, they will be dead once the enemy's large force arrives.
He was a minor official with little ability, and faced with this deadly problem of "either way or the other", he really couldn't figure out a solution for a while.
Ten minutes is neither long nor short, but for a small official in the mine who could not figure out a result at all, it passed in a flash.
Counting the time silently in his mind, as the advantaged party, Silk didn't care about accuracy. When the time was up, he gave an order and the elven knights of the royal guard rode their horses closer while taking down the bows and arrows hanging on the saddles.
【Tracking Arrow! 】
The next second, a round of tracking arrows flew out.
Faced with this extraordinary method, the enemy archer who was on the arrow tower and taking advantage of his height to aim at this side didn't even understand what was happening before he was mercilessly shot by the tracking arrow.
Then, with a shout of "gig", the elven knights led by Silk quickly drew their silver-steel swords and charged towards the mine in the distance.
At the same time, hearing the sudden screams coming from above the arrow tower, before they could figure out what was happening above, the elven knights who launched a charge in the distance quickly drew their attention over.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
The archers who received the order immediately drew their bows and shot arrows.
However, with only a dozen or twenty archers, their attack could not form a scale at all. Facing the sparse arrows, Silk and his men did not even need to activate the "air barrier". They could easily resolve them with a wave of the silver steel sword in their hands.
At the same time, inside the mine, in order to prevent the convicts from causing trouble when a fight broke out, the foreman who received the order was waving his whip and driving the convicts back to their cells.
One of them was a thin young man with black hair that had grown long enough to cover his eyes. He undoubtedly noticed the commotion outside, so he turned his head to look towards the exit of the mine.
The foreman happened to see this scene, and without hesitation, he whipped the young man with a whip! With a "snap", a bloody mark suddenly appeared on the young man's skinny body.
"What are you looking at?! Why don't you get back to the cell? Do you want me to whip you a few more times?!"
With an angry shout, the foreman whipped the young man again without saying a word.
As for these hard laborers, they always beat them whenever they wanted, it didn't matter at all.
Unexpectedly, when the whip was swung out, the young man suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the whip.
Then he exerted force, and under that skinny body, there was unexpected strength. He pulled the whip in the foreman's hand and roared at the same time...
"If we don't act now, when will we act?!"
Following the young man's angry roar, many laborers showed murderous eyes and rushed directly towards the foreman closest to them.
How many people did the foreman have? Faced with these violent slaves, they were knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye. Many slaves were still not satisfied and picked up the big rocks at their feet and smashed them on the heads of the foremen.
The stone hit their heads and smashed them directly, and their brains were splattered all over the ground.
However, the young man had no interest in venting his anger on the foremen. He must have considerable appeal in the mine, so he rushed to the mine exit with a group of laborers, wanting to cooperate with the troops outside to break into the mine.
Unexpectedly, before they could get close enough, a sky-blue slashing sword easily broke through the barricades outside the mine entrance and cut in. Even the spearmen who were guarding the barricades with spears in hand were cut in half on the spot.
At that moment, under the almost dazed gaze of the crowd, the boiling hot blood splashed directly onto the faces of the surrounding guards.
The defense they relied on was completely vulnerable in front of the enemy. Led by Silk, the elven knights holding silver steel swords filed in!
Any guards around who tried to resist or do anything were stabbed to death without mercy.
From that nonchalant attitude, what was revealed was an overwhelming gap in strength.
At the same time, the hard laborers, led by the young man, who had originally planned to rush to the entrance of the mine, were all stunned where they were.
Riding on mighty war horses, the metal armor of the elven knights shone brightly in the sun, setting off their handsome faces. The knights before them looked as if they had walked out of a fairy tale, giving the convicts a sense of fantasy.
In order to deal with their charge, the guards of the mine were basically concentrated at the entrance, which made things easier for them. With one round of charge and Silk's Wind Slash, they killed most of them directly.
After scanning the surroundings and confirming that there was no threat, Silk raised his hand, and the elven knights rode their horses to both ends, leaving a path in the middle.
At the end of the road, Zhou Xu, also dressed in military uniform and looking very mighty, rode his horse calmly inside.
"Who's in charge here?"
I don't know if it was because their display was too shocking, but the mine was now completely silent. Everyone, including the laborers, even held their breath.
Only the young man stepped forward at this moment and knelt in front of Zhou Xu's horse.
"He is dead."
The young man pointed at the body of the mine official that had been separated, and then kowtowed to Zhou Xu.
"I am Bai Tu, a humble servant, and I am willing to follow you, sir! Please take me in!!"
“…”
