The front yard of the Baron's mansion was a small area, less than 500 square meters. Matos's team walked slower and slower as they approached the door. He let the two hostages walk beside him and asked two low-level warriors to watch them with swords.
All the mid-level and low-level fighters spread out in all directions, ready for battle.
"Martos, there doesn't seem to be any magic circle." Dionok looked around.
"I always have a strange feeling." Matos whispered, holding the sword.
"how?"
"Everything went so smoothly and it was so quiet. I grew up here and this town was not like this at night," Matos said. "It was so quiet that there was no sound of anyone."
"What should we do then?" Dionok asked.
Matos grabbed his arm and said, "Let the others go in first. We'll wait at the door."
However, Matos asked the two hostages to stop as well, as he felt that these two people could give him some sense of security.
Led by several mid-level warriors, the team broke into the front yard.
At this moment, a dark shadow emitting fighting spirit rushed towards Matos from the side wall.
"I've been discovered." Matos growled. This was what he had been waiting for. His tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment. His fighting spirit burned through his body like a flame, and he swung his sword hard to cut at the opponent. Dionok beside him also fired an ice arrow that he had prepared long ago, and a ray of ice-blue light followed Matos' sword.
But what neither of them expected was that the black shadow rushed straight towards Matos's sword, and his sword light passed through the black shadow without any hindrance, and then Dionok's ice arrow also passed through it.
When he got closer, he could see clearly that it was actually a large robe, but it was wrapped with a bunch of horse grass and infused with fighting spirit, so in the night it looked like a warrior with fighting spirit. All this happened in a flash, and when Matos realized that it was a trick, his sword moves were already old, and the long sword split the clothes in two, raising countless grass scraps in the air.
But behind the clothes, another curled-up figure jumped out and rushed straight towards the two low-level soldiers guarding the hostages.
It was Chang Yujie who wanted to save people. He held a Type 54 pistol in one hand and a sword in the other. He emptied the entire magazine in mid-air and directly hit the unsuspecting soldier a little further away, causing his brain to burst. A soldier nearby reacted more quickly and blocked Chang Yujie's attack with his sword. However, Chang Yujie's powerful sword still knocked him back two steps. Chang Yujie seized the opportunity and used his fighting spirit to smash the pistol in his hand on the soldier's head. The soldier was unable to dodge and was hit on the temple by the gun, and fainted directly.
While the people around him were still not able to react, Chang Yujie grabbed Aunt Delia's clothes with both hands and threw her outside. Aunt Delia was thrown out by him with his soft force.
Matos and Dionok turned around and were about to attack Chang Yujie. But at this moment, a loud roar came from the roof of the Baron's Mansion: "Explode!"
Chang Yujie knew that this was a hint from Wang Zifeng. He ignored the attacks of Matos and the other man, and threw Macaya to the ground. As soon as the two fell to the ground, a loud noise came from the crowded area in front of them, and a fierce flame broke out from the ground. The fire was like a crack from hell. Many figures could be vaguely seen being torn and swallowed by the flames in an instant. Along with the flames, there was also smoke and dust that filled the entire yard. The scene was like a red and gray monster with its bloody mouth opened wide, and the food was Matos's team.
More than fifty people were all enveloped by billowing smoke and dust, and the guards hiding behind the beds on the roof appeared one after another, ready to shoot in the middle at any time.
Xu Tianle could see clearly from inside the house that Chang Yujie fell towards his position.
"I'm going to rob someone, you guys cover me!" He pushed open the window and jumped down from the second floor of the house.
Based on the direction he just remembered, he rushed into the billowing smoke and dust, but when he rushed to the place where Chang Yujie was knocked down, he did not find his figure.
He took a few random steps and saw an enemy soldier lying on the ground. Without hesitation, he aroused his fighting spirit and broke the opponent's neck with one foot.
That's right, it must be the shock wave. He bent down and looked in the opposite direction of the explosion. After walking seven or eight steps, he finally saw Chang Yujie and Makaya. They seemed to have been blown over by the shock wave and were lying on their backs, both unconscious. Makaya didn't look injured, but there were a lot of blood marks and holes on one side of Chang Yujie's body.
Xu Tianle hurriedly grabbed one of them and dragged them out of the battlefield.
The smoke and dust had dispersed somewhat, revealing the figures inside. Some powerful soldiers survived, but what greeted them was a barrage of bullets like water.
As Xu Tianle retreated, he was hit by two stray bullets. If he hadn't had his fighting spirit to protect him, he would have been seriously injured. When he was about to leave the area covered by smoke and dust, he found a figure rushing towards him.
It was Matos. Although he was covered in blood, he was still very fast. When Xu Tianle was busy dragging people away, the only melee weapon he had was a dagger on his calf.
"Grenade!" A weak voice came from below. Chang Yujie woke up. "On your waist."
Xu Tianle came to his senses, untied the only grenade from his waist and threw it at the opponent's feet. The grenade exploded and slowed down the opponent's speed. Finally, he walked out of the smoke.
"Open fire! Cover me!" he shouted to the rear.
When Matos was only seven or eight meters away from him, the militiamen finally saw his position and started shooting at Matos. The dense bullets were not something a wounded mid-level soldier could withstand. Even though Matos used his arms to protect his head and face, he was still beaten back step by step. Moreover, the places on his body that were not protected by his fighting spirit in time were also hit and had bloody wounds.
"Xiao Xu, we're here to help." Several people rushed up from behind. Xu Tianle looked and saw several militiamen coming over to take over the two wounded, and several other soldiers from the escort team stood in front of them and shot continuously with their guns.
Perhaps Matos felt that it was difficult to break through here, so he retreated into the smoke again. He wanted to find another direction. However, at this time, the pneumatic cannon that had been prepared for a long time finally fired. The first round of shells were solid bullets, and the second round were shotgun shells.
After each of the four guns fired ten rounds, the gunfire finally stopped.
When the smoke finally cleared, the entrance to the Baron's mansion had turned into a hellish scene. There was no intact person here anymore. All the ground had been turned over, and the soil had been dyed red with blood plasma.
Wang Zifeng and several other warriors started searching for survivors with guns and swords. Behind a collapsed wall, he found Matos, who had only half of his head left. The Baron's only remaining eye was still open, and he looked like he had died with his eyes open.
"Brother!" Jenny's cry came from behind Wang Zifeng. She was about to pounce on the bloody body, but was held back by Wang Zifeng.
"I, I just want him to close his eyes." She said with trembling lips.
"Let me do it for you." A limping man came behind them. It was Chang Yujie who had woken up. He walked to the corner and closed Matos' eyes with his hands. Then he walked back to Jenny, squatted down and said, "I'm sorry, we couldn't do it, but this is war."
Jenny ignored the blood on his body, hugged him and burst into tears.
