Brook's pupils contracted sharply; the enemy was yet another Four-Star Class level expert.

To make matters worse, behind this suddenly appearing Four-Star Class expert, there were over a hundred unscathed and energetic black cavalrymen galloping forward, their swords gleaming coldly.

"It's finally here!"

Brook recognized this Four-Star Class expert, the very same one named Guluo who had been sent to the rear of the column by the Dou Qi Knight leader to prevent the Chambord Archers from harassing them. Now, he had finally shaken off the Chambord Archers who were following him and arrived just in time.

The appearance of this Four-Star Class expert instantly shattered the delicate balance that existed on the battlefield.

The situation for the Chambord Army suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

Frank Lampard and the Heng and Ha Generals who could only hold off Guluo had not yet arrived, and Valkyrie Elena was being held back by the Scarface Knight leader, making it difficult to determine a winner. Chambord City had sent out all its experts, and at this point, no one could withstand a fresh force from a Four-Star Class opponent, especially since this Four-Star Class expert was accompanied by hundreds of Black Riders. Judging from the current situation, even if Brook had extraordinary wisdom and strategy, he would probably be powerless to turn the tide without the necessary resources.

Desperate situation!

Chambord City seems to have suddenly found itself in a desperate situation!

Unfortunately, the situation didn't give Brook any time to think things through.

He paused to take a breath of fresh air, then wiped the wet blood from his forehead, gripped the King's Sword tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination.

"We'd rather die than retreat! Kill!"

The next instant, the military leader of Chambord City roared and, without the slightest hesitation, launched an attack. His longsword trembled, and he accelerated forward, his Dou Qi spirit surging. Like a moth drawn to a flame, he resolutely charged towards the suddenly appearing Four-Star Class expert Guluo!

"A cornered beast will fight on, how laughable! His crime is unforgivable, he shall die!" Guluo unleashed One Sword strike, his Dou Qi surging wildly, unstoppable.

Just as Brook was about to be engulfed by the enormous yellow sword energy, a sudden change occurred.

A mysterious black figure appeared out of nowhere, silently appearing on the battlefield like a ghost. Along with it came a series of sharp sword energies that swept across the sky, intercepting all the attacks of the four-star expert, Guluo.

"Who is it?" Guluo asked in shock and anger, sensing the formidable strength of his opponent.

However, the mysterious man in black remained silent, his body flashing with incredible speed. He charged forward like Black Lightning, and while still in mid-air, a golden sword light burst forth from his hand, tearing through the sky like a startled swan. Guluo's sword stance shifted abruptly, his earth-yellow Dou Qi rapidly gathering, turning offense into defense to try and block his opponent's sudden attack. But the golden sword qi shattered the Earth-Element Dou Qi, which was good at defense, with overwhelming force. A cold light pierced through his body, and blood spurted out. Guluo's body stiffened instantly, standing frozen in place, his expression filled with disbelief and utter shock.

puff--!

A black figure flashed past Guluo, who stood frozen in place, as if picking a melon. Amidst loud laughter, the figure reached out and plucked the head of this Four-Star Class expert before speeding away. His departure was as sudden as his arrival; his figure dimmed and became transparent in the distance, as if melting into the endless void and gradually disappearing completely.

Instant kill!

It was a one-second kill!

Who is this person? He actually managed to kill a Four-Star Class expert with ease, appearing and disappearing like a dragon, utterly mysterious! Especially that sharp golden sword aura that pierced through Guluo's body earlier, although it has now disappeared, is still imprinted in the minds of every spectator, unmatched!

The entire battlefield was desolate and silent; no one knew where this mysterious man in black had come from or where he had gone.

Brook was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

"This mysterious expert seems to be acting for the sake of Chambord City, but why have I never seen him by His Majesty's side? But it's alright, since Guluo is dead, His Majesty's last trump card left behind before his departure doesn't need to be revealed... The outcome of this battle is already decided!"

Seeing that the twenty-odd Urban Management around him were almost exhausted from the fighting, and that the situation on the battlefield would not change any further, Gordon Brook raised his longsword and made a pre-arranged signal.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!

Suddenly, countless multicolored magic arrows shot out from the grass a hundred meters away. The sound of them piercing the air was sharp and piercing, and they shot into the more than one hundred Black Flag Army soldiers who were rushing towards the battle, following the four-star expert Guluo, but had not yet joined the battle.

Boom boom boom boom--!

The sound of an explosion echoed across the sky, and a surge of powerful magical energy erupted.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs Broken Blade filled the sky.

This was a one-sided massacre. Under the dense barrage of magical arrows, more than a hundred cavalrymen had no chance to struggle. Their sturdy black armor offered them no protection whatsoever. The scorching flames, the freezing cold, the biting electric current, and the omnipresent poison instantly claimed their lives.

More than twenty young girls dressed in strange armor appeared on a grassy hill a hundred meters away. Each of them held a bow and arrow and was surrounded by magic elements between One-Star Class and Two-Star Class. Fire, electricity, ice and poison magic appeared. The girls' eyes were cold and their bowstrings vibrated. In less than ten breaths, they completely destroyed a hundred-man elite cavalry team.

Magic archers are indeed the bane of cavalry.

Moreover, the arrows fired by these twenty-odd beautiful and youthful magical archers not only contained considerable magical power but were also incredibly accurate. In addition to their overwhelming barrage of arrows, their pinpoint kills were also top-notch. Arrows imbued with magical power shot out one after another, piercing the sky. Other Black Riders caught in the melee fell from their horses one after another with screams of pain, while the Chambord City, who were also in the midst of the battle, remained completely unaffected.

[ Jebe ]-level powerful magic archer.

In the blink of an eye, the invading Black Cavalry was completely wiped out.

"How could this be? Why are there so many experts in Chambord City?"

The three King, wearing golden crowns, were terrified and screamed. Under the protection of their guards, they turned and mounted their horses to flee, but were shot down by a hail of magical arrows. The guards of Chambord City swarmed forward, beat the three men until they were black and blue and their teeth were knocked out, and then tied them up with cowhide ropes like pigs being slaughtered.

The fierce battle gradually subsided.

A bolt of silver lightning streaked towards them from afar, its powerful aura filling the air. Frank Lampard, having defeated his opponent, had finally arrived.

Further away, two roaring, charging level-four magical beasts, the Crimson Flame Beast, with their manes flying like burning flames, sped toward the hill. On their backs rode the anxious [ Heng and Ha Generals ] Drogba and Pierce, two big-headed men.

At the same time, the surrounding Chambord City also ended their fight, covered in blood and holding battle axes, all looking in the same direction.

At this moment, only one battle remained on the entire battlefield, with sparks flying – the Scarface Knight leader and Elena of the [ Flower of the Rogue ] were locked in a fierce and evenly matched struggle, exchanging swords and arrows.

Judging from the scene, Elena has the upper hand. Her body is constantly changing and surging with four different magical powers, which is a strange phenomenon that is hard to understand. Few people can possess four types of magic at such a young age and switch between them so freely and easily.

However, having an advantage does not guarantee victory. Although the Scarface Knight leader was suppressed by the powerful magical arrows flying through the air and unable to get within ten meters of his opponent, he was not in any life-threatening danger.

This person is the strongest among the four Four-Star Class experts who attacked this time. His peak combat power is already close to breaking through the Peak Four-Star Class and reaching the Five-Star Class Initial Stage. If Elena [ Flower of the Rogue ] had not combined the power of Sun Fei's other six major mercenary professions, possessed the four magic elements of Diablo World (ice, electricity, fire, and poison), and had not followed Sun Fei in [ Barbarian Mode ] to complete all the quests in the second act of the world map [ Lut Gholein ], and had already leveled up to 35, she probably would not be a match for this scarred warrior.

The two sides were evenly matched in strength, but Elena had a slight edge in combat experience, which allowed her to steadily suppress her opponent with just a bow. However, killing her opponent quickly was extremely difficult.

Boom boom boom boom--!

The Scarface Knight leader unleashed several silver sword strikes, shattering the oncoming fire magic arrows. Suddenly, he retreated sharply, making a pause gesture, sheathing his sword, and standing still. A proud smile played on his lips as he glanced at the surrounding Chambord Army Urban Management and said calmly, "How audacious! A bunch of criminals! You are truly courting death, daring to besiege the Imperial Knights' Hall! Does your Kingdom of Chambord not fear being annihilated by the Judgment Knights?"

" Imperial Knights' Hall?" Brook parted the crowd. "You're actually Imperial Knights' Hall Templar?"

"Hmph!" The scarred knight leader tossed out a black waist token. "Open your lowly dog eyes and see clearly who you've been besieging! You're truly courting death! You dared to kill three elite knights of the Knights' Hall — Dick, Allen, and Guluo— and then bind three King — King of Black Rock, King of Thrace, and King of Red Water— causing such a colossal disaster! Even King of Chambord won't escape the Knights' Hall's punishment, hahahaha..."

Is he really a Imperial Knights' Hall?

Brook and the others looked at the black waist badge on the ground. Sure enough, it was engraved with a double-headed bear emblem and a metal armored knight holding a sword and riding a horse. Anyone with a little status in the Zenit Empire and its vassal states knew very well that this symbol was the identity of a Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall.

If the charge of besieging the Imperial Knights' Hall were truly upheld, it would be a serious matter, one that even the King of a vassal state would find difficult to bear.

Upon realizing this, those present who understood the gravity of the situation changed their expressions.

"Since you are Imperial Knights' Hall, why are you attacking my Kingdom of Chambord? Is there an imperial decree from Emperor Yassin?" Brook asked, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Who do you think you are?" The Scarface Knight leader raised his head and sneered, angrily rebuking, "You dare ask me such a question? You have ten breaths to immediately release the three King, bind your own hands and feet, put shackles on these murderers of the Imperial Knights' Hall, and escort them to the capital to be tried by the Knights' Hall. Otherwise, within ten days, the Knights' Hall Judgment Knights your Kingdom of Chambord, reducing it to ashes, and even the King of Chambord will be sent to the Knights' Hall's stake for execution! Hmph!"

The leader of the Scarface Knights sneered inwardly.

He said this out of desperation, using the prestige of the Knights' Hall to intimidate the Chambord people before him. But what could he do? He was a high-ranking Knight of the Knights' Hall, a great figure who followed the promising Golden Sun Knight, Kersley Sutton. He could kill a few lowly people from vassal states as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs. What could they do? Would they dare to kill a noble Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall?

Despite being surrounded by a large crowd, he remained completely unafraid.
