The lower part of the floating city suddenly disappeared, and thunderous hoofbeats came from the direction of the valley entrance, which made Nightingale feel nervous. The soldiers of Ash City also took action, picking up swords, guns, bows and crossbows to prepare for battle.
Xia Lei arrived before the cavalry team from Hades City arrived at the mine. Shenyue Ruyi did not show up, but stayed in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.
Seeing Xia Lei falling from the sky, Nightingale immediately said excitedly: "Dragon King, your city..."
Xia Lei interrupted her, "It's just hiding for now, don't be nervous."
Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief, "It'll be good if you come back. Who is here?"
Xia Lei said: "A group of cavalry, carrying the flag of doom, is probably the cavalry of the King of the West."
Nightingale's expression changed instantly, not only nervous, but also fearful.
Xia Lei said calmly: "There are only a thousand people, why are you so nervous?"
Nightingale said: "Even if there is only one person here, it represents Diaro, the King of the West. I... no one is not afraid of Diaro."
Xia Lei actually understood her feelings. Six meals a day, each meal requires hundreds of living creatures, and has the terrifying title of the God of Death. Who wouldn’t be afraid of such an existence? But what worries her the most is Diallo's status as a core member of the royal family. Under this status, going against Diallo's wishes would be tantamount to going against the royal family of the Black Sun Empire and becoming the enemy of the entire Black Sun Empire! How could she, the mayor of a small border town, be able to shoulder such a huge pressure
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xia Lei comforted her.
Nightingale smiled bitterly. Such comfort obviously could not relieve her tension and fear at the moment.
Rumble…
The deafening sound of hooves got closer and closer, and a thick cloud of dust rolled up in the canyon. Under the thick dust, a black lightning rushed straight over, and its momentum was invincible!
The black doomsday flag appeared in everyone's sight. That flag represented death and fear. Although there were 10,000 people in Ashes City, which gave them an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, they were the one that was completely crushed in terms of momentum. At this moment, many of the Ashes City soldiers’ hands holding weapons were shaking!
ssssssssss—
There was a neighing sound, and black lightning stopped a hundred meters away from the mine.
The knight riding the horse came with more than a dozen cavalry. Before the people arrived, a voice said, "Everyone put down their weapons, otherwise they will be punished for violating the royal authority and the whole family will be executed!"
Holding weapons is an offense against the royal authority, and the entire clan will be executed. How tyrannical this is!
Some timid Ash City soldiers put down their weapons, and then more people put down their weapons. It takes great courage to challenge the royal authority, but most people don't have such courage.
Nightingale wanted to stop, but before she could say anything, Xia Lei leaned close to her ear, "Don't worry, let's see what these guys want to do."
Nightingale had completely lost her idea and just nodded subconsciously.
"Who is the Nightingale?" the knight on horseback roared.
Nightingale couldn't help but tremble.
Xia Lei gently shook Nightingale's hand and said, "Go, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Nightingale glanced at Xia Lei, as if she had found courage from him. When Xia Lei let go of her hand, she walked out, "I am Nightingale, the Lord of Ashes City."
The knight in charge snorted coldly, "The city lord of Ashes City? The city lord of the West must be appointed or dismissed by the King of the West. I don't remember when the King of the West appointed you as the city lord of Ashes City. What kind of city lord are you?"
Nightingale said: "According to the laws of the empire, after the death of the city lord, the city lord's wife and son are eligible to inherit the city lord's title and city lord's position. I am the wife of Guye City Lord. Before his death, he had already transferred his title and city lord's title to the city lord. The position has been granted to me, so I am the Lord of Ashes City, Earl Nightingale."
"Hahaha..." The knight in charge laughed, and the laughter was full of contempt.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at you when you are about to die, but you still want to be the city lord! Inherit the title of Gu Ye!" The knight in charge said coldly: "You killed Young Master Blood Moon of Lava City and seized the blood crystal belonging to the King of the West. Mine, no matter which crime is committed, it is a capital crime!"
Nightingale protested: "I'm not guilty! This is the land of Ashes City!"
The knight who was riding the horse snorted coldly, "Humph! Whether you have sinned against the King of the West has the final say! I now announce the King of the West's decision. Nightingale kills nobles and seizes the royal property. He will be executed immediately! Anyone who participated in the mine war will Escorted to the underworld as a slave!"
As soon as this ruling was announced, the 10,000 soldiers in Ash City suddenly turned pale. Being escorted to the underworld as a slave, doesn't that mean becoming Diaro's food? This ruling is more terrifying than killing them now!
And it's not just the 10,000 Ash City soldiers here, but all the soldiers who participated in the battle to seize the mines, that is, the 190,000 soldiers who returned to Ash City also suffered the same fate. That is the military power of the entire Ash City. Most of the families in Ash City will lose their sons and husbands because of this ruling!
Anger spread among the soldiers of Ash City, and some soldiers who put down their weapons also picked up the weapons on the ground.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with the ruling of the King of the West? Do you want to resist?" The knight on horseback sneered: "It's not impossible to resist, but I have to tell you the consequences. Once you dare to take up arms to resist, your family members will be killed. If he is executed, the city of Ashes will be razed to the ground!"
No one dared to resist.
The death of one person or the death of the whole family is not a multiple-choice question.
The fear of the King of the West among the people of the West has penetrated deep into their bones. This is also the reason why this cavalry team dared to rush here to announce such a verdict. Who dares to defend against Diaro, the God of Death? No!
"Take her down and chop off her head!" the knight on horseback roared.
The two cavalrymen dismounted and strode towards Nightingale.
There were only two choices before Nightingale. One was to accept the verdict and save Ash City from the fate of massacre. One is to resist and fight to the death. But she made the third choice. Just when the two fierce cavalry were walking towards her, she suddenly turned back to look at Xia Lei and whispered: "Help me."
Xia Lei nodded and said in a gentle voice, "Come behind me."
"Yes." Nightingale responded softly. She walked towards Xia Lei, and Xia Lei walked towards her.
The two passed each other and stopped at the same time. Nightingale stood behind Xia Lei. Xia Lei faced the domineering knight and a thousand cavalry from the underworld.
The two cavalrymen who were about to capture Nightingale and chop off her head stopped, and then looked back at the knight on the horse.
The knight in charge had no new instructions. His eyes fell on Xia Lei, "Are you that dragon?"
Xia Lei said: "I am the dragon. I will take your people out of here. From now on, this is no longer the territory of the Western Region. It is independent. Then the place where we are now is the territory of the Ghost Kingdom. As the king, I give you a goodwill Reminder, your behavior is a military invasion, and I can execute you."
Everyone was stunned, whether it was the cavalry from Hades City or the soldiers from Ashes City.
Is Ember City independent
Is this the territory of the Ghost Country
How dare someone dare to challenge the royal power and majesty of the King of the West like this!
Nothing like this has ever happened in this land, and there has never been such a bold and arrogant person.
But now he appears and he is standing here.
"Hahaha..." After a short and weird silence, the knight riding the horse suddenly laughed loudly, "You are the funniest guy I have ever seen. People in Lava City say you are very powerful, but in my eyes you are already A dead man.”
Xia Lei said calmly: "To each other, it seems that you don't plan to leave, right?"
"Kill him!" The knight in charge suddenly waved the Doomsday Rider in Xia Lei's direction.
One thousand cavalry suddenly activated.
Nightingale roared: "Get ready to fight—"
This time, the soldiers of Ash City failed to enforce the order. The seeds of fear sown in their hearts by Diaro, the God of Death, have already taken root and sprouted. How can they be eradicated at once
"Tell your people not to move." Xia Lei said, "You also need to step back."
Nightingale hesitated for a moment and finally retreated.
Black lightning composed of a thousand cavalry struck Xia Lei.
A blue light suddenly fell from the sky, and all the cavalry in the front row were cut off, including their men and their horses. Human corpses and ghost horse corpses fell to the ground, blocking the charging route of the cavalry behind them. For a time, there were constant rear-end collisions, and people were turned upside down!
Just when the chaos started, Xia Lei jumped up, flew over the head of the riding knight, and punched him down. On the fist, the colorful energy light is as dazzling as a rainbow.
Boom!
The flag bearer who was directing the cavalry charge just now was instantly blown to pieces along with his men and horses, and a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground!
Xia Lei's punch blasted not only the flag-bearer, but also dozens of cavalry around him. At his current evolutionary level, killing these night watchman cavalry is actually no different from trampling to death ants.
"Kill!" Hundreds of werewolf warriors rushed out of the forest on one side of the mine, led by Qingteng and Senpo who were responsible for patrolling.
These werewolf warriors all turned crazy. They were several meters tall, had wolf claws like sharp swords, and were faster than ghost horses. If the cavalry team in Hades is like a black lightning, then the gathering of hundreds of werewolves is a torrent of wild beasts!
boom-
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the cavalry team in Mingdu suddenly fell on their backs. Many cavalrymen were chopped into several pieces without even returning their hands! And even if there is a block, it will only live for one second longer. The werewolf's claws can tear even the armor of a tank, and their weapons can be chopped like sugar cane.
However, the blue energy body still easily took the crown of the murderer king. Shenyue Ruyi slaughtered almost half of the cavalry by himself. Qingteng, Senpo and the crazy werewolf hadn't had enough of killing them, so there was only one cavalry left.
There were a thousand cavalry when they came, but in a blink of an eye there was only one cavalry left. The result was full of drama.
"That guy is mine!" Qing Teng roared and jumped forward.
But just when her wolf claws were about to split the last cavalry into several pieces, one suddenly came from behind, grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back alive. She turned back angrily, and was about to get angry when she saw Xia Lei's face, and all the anger in her heart was extinguished.
"What are you going to do after killing him? Leave him alive and I want him to take a message back." Xia Lei said.
"Yeah." Even the crazy Qing Teng seemed like a gentle little woman in front of Xia Lei.
Xia Lei said to the last cavalryman: "You, go back and tell Diallo that this place is independent and I am the king here. Don't mess with me, or I will fight to his underworld."
The last cavalryman still seemed to be in a dream.
"What are you doing standing there? Get out!" Xia Lei scolded.
The last cavalryman trembled, turned around, and galloped away.
