A hint of surprise flashed in the princess's sky-blue eyes.
She seemed completely taken aback by Sun Fei's seemingly absurd question. After a brief silence, she didn't answer but suddenly turned and headed towards the magic carriage in the distance. At that moment, the silver-armored knights who had come to greet them galloped into the Chambord camp. These arrogant knights, their faces filled with murderous intent, didn't even offer a token greeting to Sun Fei and his party, nor did they wish to linger in the camp. They guarded the princess closely as if facing a formidable enemy, boarding the magic carriage and then galloping towards Hot Springs Pass.
The horse's hooves kicked up a trail of dust.
As the magic carriage gently passed by, the tightly closed window suddenly opened, revealing the princess's face. She looked at Sun Fei with a strange smile, her red lips slightly parted, silently uttering two syllables—
"No!"
This is a conclusion Sun Fei drew from observing lip movements.
"Who goes there? Show yourself!" the Scarface Knight leader roared, looking in the direction from which the magic arrow had come.
A stunningly beautiful figure, seemingly Goddess descending from the heavens, gracefully walked from the distant golden grassland. Though appearing slow, her speed was actually incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the hilltop. In her slender hand, she held a battle bow that resembled a withered wild rose branch, yet possessed an eerie vitality. Her beauty was unparalleled, and she stood silently behind Brook.
It's... such a young woman?
The Scarface leader was somewhat surprised.
The woman who suddenly appeared before them looked to be no more than twenty years old. She had a fresh and beautiful face, a shapely figure, long and slender legs, and a supple waist. The skin on her arms and thighs, exposed outside her leather armor, was several shades white, as if it were exquisitely carved from mutton-fat jade. Her fiery red hair Leap in the wind like burning flames. She was covered in a set of strange and powerful armor that the Scarface Knight leader had never seen before. The armor was engraved with mysterious and profound runes, and strange flames flickered, surging with a powerful magical aura. She was like a Valkyrie descended from the sky, heroic and awe-inspiring, unapproachable.
"Who are you?" The Scarface Knight leader's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
In that short time, he incredulously discovered that he couldn't even sense the young woman's strength. Even more bizarrely, the magical elemental power emanating from her was constantly shifting, sometimes as cold as ice, sometimes as scorching as flames, sometimes as sharp as lightning, sometimes as sinister as poison... What kind of power was this?
" Elena, a warrior under the command of the King of Chambord City!"
The Valkyrie answered calmly.
Covered in blood, Gordon Brook felt relieved upon seeing Elena's appearance.
He certainly recognized this stunningly beautiful and powerful female archer, for he had seen Elena countless times beside Sun Fei. Although he didn't know the origins of this powerful female warrior, he knew that she was His King King's most trusted person, and that her strength was unfathomable. Her magical archery skills were superb. Brook remembered Sun Fei once remarking that even His Majesty the King himself was no match for this stunningly beautiful, goddess-like, icy female warrior.
It was truly a stroke of good luck.
"Sir... be careful, this person is very strong!" Brook cautiously warned.
Elena's official position in Chambord City is unclear, but she has always been by King Majesty's side and enjoys his deep trust. Out of respect for Sun Fei, Brook still chooses to address Elena as "Sir".
"Okay." Elena raised the [ Deadly Battle Gate Bow of the Wild Rose ], saying without turning her head, "Be careful yourself too."
Having said that, her slender, fair fingers, as delicate as freshly peeled jade, gently drew back the Wild Rose Branch Bow. Instantly, three icy arrows formed from ice magic appeared on the sky-blue, ray-like bowstring. The arrowheads gleamed with a deadly metallic light, and wisps of white chill emanated from the arrows, filling the space between heaven and earth and causing the temperature in the air to drop rapidly.
Sizzle--!
Arrows flew like lightning, magic surged, and they pierced the sky.
The battle begins.
"Damn it, this woman is also a master under King of Chambord... What kind of bullshit King of Chambord is he? How can he have such a stunningly beautiful master under his command?" The Scarface Knight leader cursed inwardly, not daring to be negligent. His silver Dou Qi aura surged, and streaks of silver sword energy shot out.
Boom boom boom--!
The Ice Arrow and the silver sword energy clashed once more, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy that snapped and broke vegetation wherever it passed.
The Valkyrie's slender, pale fingers deftly plucked the bowstring, conjuring white afterimages as if playing a pipa. Amidst the whistling sounds, magical arrows flew everywhere, their trajectories as unpredictable as a gazelle's horns. Even the Scarface Knight leader, with his Peak Four-Star Class of Sharp Metal Dou Qi Aura and nearly twenty years of battlefield experience, couldn't get within ten meters of the female archer, even when he exerted his full strength.
Silver sword energy and magical arrows collided and exploded repeatedly in the air, releasing large amounts of energy.
"This woman is not only incredibly strong and unpredictable, but how can her fighting rhythm be so precise? It's as if she has experienced countless life-and-death battles; her attacks are truly ruthless..." The Scarface Knight leader became increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
Little did he know what Elena, as a female Rogue warrior, had experienced in the world of Diablo. From the day she was able to pick up a bow and arrow to defend the Rogue Encampment, Elena had to fight countless demons and monsters, walking the line between life and death countless times, brushing shoulders with death. The combat experience she accumulated was far beyond what a 'veteran' like him, who had only experienced human wars, could compare to.
For a time, the two were evenly matched.
At this moment, several King wearing golden crowns led more than four hundred black cavalrymen who had survived the fire and finally charged up the hill, brandishing long swords Sharp Sword to meet them head-on.
"Kill--!"
Covered in blood, Brook roared and was the first to charge forward.
His body had also been tempered and modified by a large dose of the [ Hulk Potion ], giving him an astonishing recovery ability. After his brief teasing, he had recovered most of his strength. He might seem vulnerable to a master like the Scarface Knight leader, but against ordinary soldiers, he was an absolute killing machine. With a flash of his sword, the heads of the first two cavalrymen who charged forward flew off, and pillars of blood shot into the sky.
"Kill--!"
"Smash these bastards... Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
On the hilltop, seeing their commander, covered in blood yet still appearing heroic, the other twenty-odd Chambord City had previously feigned panic and fled to lure the enemy were instantly filled with fervor. Wielding their exaggeratedly large axes, which resembled door panels and could serve as both shields and weapons, they roared like wolves as they charged towards the black cavalry, who outnumbered them several times over. They unleashed a barrage of chilling, furious slashes, sweeping past like Whirlwind.
In an instant, blood rained down on the hill, and severed limbs and broken blades flew everywhere.
Although these Urban Management had never formally experienced such a bloody scene, they had been on the battlefield during the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army's siege of the city, experiencing the Death Energy atmosphere firsthand. Moreover, Sun Fei had set up an arena in the [ City of Heroes ] within the Underground Grotto Labyrinth City Chambord Mountain, Summon [ Fallen ] and [ Fallen Shaman ] within it. Almost every Urban Management, after being secretly modified with the [ Hulk Potion ], was sent to this extremely dangerous 'Demon Arena' to face life and death in gladiatorial combat. Having undergone the Bloody test of life and death against the terrifying demons of the Diablo World, these Urban Management possessed a psychological advantage and boldness that others could not understand when they stepped onto the battlefield, showing no fear of battle.
Twenty-three men wielded giant axes, like twenty-three bloodthirsty deep-sea sharks cutting through the waves, invincible in their path.
For a time, the more than four hundred black cavalrymen were unable to subdue these twenty-odd people, and both sides were locked in a stalemate.
"Charge! Charge through and Chambord City!" The king, crowned with gold, roared furiously under the protection of his guards.
"Pah! Go to hell..." A blood-soaked Chambord City roared, sweeping his axe and cleaving two soldiers beside the King in two at the waist.
"Well done!" Another Urban Management, with a broken arrow stuck in his body, was oblivious to the pain. He spun around on the spot, and with two large axes in his hands, he cleaved through the air, cutting the black cavalrymen riding towards him from both sides into eight pieces, limbs flying everywhere, and blood shooting into the sky like pillars.
Brook, charging at the forefront, wielded the King's Sword bestowed upon him by Sun Fei, unleashing countless sword beams. With One Sword thrust, an enemy lay dead on the spot. He grew stronger with each battle, and almost no one could withstand a single blow from him. His fighting Dou Qi circulated wildly throughout his body, gradually becoming smoother and smoother, showing a faint tendency to break through the Two-Star Class barrier.
"Chamberlains of Chambord, follow me to fight! We shall die rather than retreat a single step!" Brook roared.
"We'd rather die than retreat a single step!" The Chambord City, engulfed in a sea of blood and a mountain of knives, shouted in response to their commander.
The aura generated by the twenty-odd people was in no way inferior to that of their enemies, who numbered dozens of times greater. A fierce killing intent permeated the heavens and the earth. At some point, the Sun in the sky seemed unable to bear watching the carnage on the earth any longer, and quietly hid behind the mountains, disappearing without a trace, and the world became dark.
Gradually, the black cavalry began to retreat in disarray.
Their remaining courage was quickly eroded by the frenzied, beast-like enemy before them. These Chambord people were utter madmen; a blow to their body was met with the same indifference and pain as if it were someone else's. They didn't even flinch, but instead roared and laughed wildly as they swung their axes backhand. Even as blood gushed from their bodies, as long as a sliver of blood remained, they would not retreat Banbu.
Facing such an enemy is no different from facing a demon.
The three crowned King, protected by their guards, were under considerable pressure. They exchanged bewildered glances, their faces paling, and fear gripped their hearts. They regretted provoking such an enemy; King of Chambord and his warriors were nothing but a bunch of freakish Barbarian!
"Fight to the death? A bunch of lowly criminals, then all of you will die here!" Suddenly, another change occurred, and a violent roar rang out.
With a furious roar, a figure suddenly rushed out from the black embers of the great fire in the distance.
Enveloped in a ball of orange-yellow Dou Qi aura, this figure soared through the air with a piercing whistling sound. Before even arriving, the sword wind preceded the attack, causing the earth to crack and dust to fill the sky. Brook, at the forefront, felt the immense and terrifying power, like a mountain collapsing, bearing down on him. He couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of Resist, and even the ground beneath his feet trembled...
Seeking various kinds.
