Chapter 78: The Imperial Guard

  Yukotaro was about to turn his horse's head and leave, just as he coincidentally caught the eye of Han Jin and others at the entrance. Not wanting to cause any trouble, this was the bottom line that Han Jin and others adhered to. However, what kind of evaluation should be made was another matter altogether. The old man had already made things very clear before his death, and the knight named Yukotaro in front of them was absolutely an ungrateful beast. Therefore, there was a hint of disdain in everyone's eyes.

  Yu Ke Duo read the eyes of Han Jin and others, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. To be honest, he wasn't very brave, and in this chaotic world, he just wanted to make a living, his previous master had refused to obey the city lord's orders and was killed on the spot, considering his own future, changing allegiance wasn't something that couldn't be understood.

  The problem is, either be a thorough good person or a thorough bad person. To have it both ways requires a certain ability and wisdom; otherwise, it's easy to make mistakes. If he were willing to be a good person, he would have taken the young master far away long ago. Although life on the run isn't easy, it's still better than being tormented by his conscience every day. And if he were willing to be a bad person, thoroughly ripping off all pretenses and killing the old steward early on, where would all these troubles come from? Young Master Lei Zhe wouldn't have had any chance to escape!

  It turns out that being indecisive is the most undesirable attitude. Why? He didn't want to push things to the limit, wanted to be a little kinder to his former master, but as a result, his former master took advantage of the opportunity and slipped away; he didn't want to kill the old steward, after all, the old steward was also someone he had deliberately tried to please in the past, but as a result, he was scolded severely, losing face completely, so how could he command these knights from now on?

  Now seeing that even some villagers dared to show disdain towards him, Yu Ke was already unable to control himself and shouted loudly: "A group of professionals, why are you sneaking around in this place? Are you spies from Hei Ya City?"

  Han Jin and several others were stunned, how could they cause trouble without making a sound? Before they could explain, Yuduo waved his hand: "Come on, take them all away for me!"

  Several knights rushed over, and upon seeing the warrior's badge on Moshineko's chest, a hint of fear flickered in their eyes as they whispered to Yucodo: "Sir, they..."

  Yu Ke slapped the opponent with a loud slap and roared: "Still not executing orders quickly!"

  The knight gritted his teeth and stepped forward, raising his lance and pointing it at Han Jin and the others. "Put down your weapons quickly, or you will bear the consequences! Did you hear me? Put down your weapons..."

  Han Jin let out a long sigh, this is also too absurd! There were some reasons before, what is it now?

  Everyone's attention, including Mo Xinke's, was focused on Han Jin. First, he used various magic to help Mo Xinke and others cultivate, then voluntarily fell into a desperate situation in times of crisis to ensure everyone's safety. Finally, he proposed a clear goal, or ideal, which although far from reality, pointed out the direction of effort. Time and time again, Han Jin's position in everyone's mind had become unshakeable.

  Han Jin raised his head and stared straight at the knight called Yucodo, saying word by word: "I... go to your mother!"

  "What?" Yuko was taken aback.

  "You're such an idiot! Every time you hear someone scolding you, you always hope others will repeat it a few times... do you enjoy that?" Han Jin said with a sarcastic tone: "Fine, I'll satisfy you, go to your mother!"

  Moxinke slowly took a few steps forward, his face twisted into a cold smile as he gazed at the opposing knights, his massive sword ready to be unsheathed at any moment. Xanier let out a soft sigh and retreated several steps before flipping onto the roof and retrieving her longbow. Sasou grasped his magic staff tightly, first casting a magical shield on himself before quietly waiting for the battle to erupt. Stilberg, Michele, and the others quickly disappeared, all hiding in the cellar.

  Han Jin's small team has already formed a style, at least they are clear about what they should do and where their position is.

  This time is different from the last, the knights encountered last time belonged to the elite troops of Holy Crown City, and there were even Grand Knights who could not be defeated by force. In contrast, the level of these knights in front of them was far inferior, to put it bluntly, they were just responsible for escorting supplies.

  "You..." Yuko was so angry that his whole body was shaking, he also knew that he had been too reckless just now, and only now did he see the warrior badge on the other's chest, but it had already reached this point, there was no way to resolve it except by fighting.

  Yu Ke Duo's warhorse snorted and whinnied restlessly, purely coincidentally stepping on the unconscious person with its hooves. The person let out a faint groan and immediately opened their eyes to see a group of knights approaching slowly with long spears, while on the other side was Han Jin with a cold smile, and Mo Xin Ke carrying a giant sword. Then he knew nothing again.

  "Give it to me!" Yuko shouted angrily.

  Just then, a strong arrow appeared quietly and shot into Yucodo's back, and came out from the front chest, bringing out a burst of blood rain. Yucodo looked at the arrow cluster with an unbelievable gaze, and then fell off the war horse.

  Han Jin was stunned, when did Xian Ni Er's archery skills become so artistic? Could actually turn a big bend and kill the enemy from behind? He turned his head to look at Xian Ni Er on the roof, but saw a pair of eyes filled with shock and tension.

  A group of black things dived down from the air, the creature looked very much like a bat, but was much larger than a bat, with wings spread out to be at least three meters long, and its pupils were red, emitting a faint red glow, looking particularly terrifying, and there were sharp fangs in its mouth.

  That group of things suddenly retracted their wings, one by one falling down, and after landing among the knights, transformed into ugly humanoid creatures. They all had long fingernails that looked soft but were actually razor-sharp. With just a casual swipe, the knights' armor was torn open like paper, and so were their bodies. Even the warhorses couldn't escape.

  Blood gushed everywhere, countless severed flesh and internal organs fell to the ground like raindrops. The entire village was transformed into a hellish scene in an instant. Those monsters harvested lives like farmers harvesting crops, their feet trampling on the squelching flesh mud, their bodies splattered with blood spouting from this or that life. Every time they moved, a sheet of blood would be flung out by them.

  The knights who were just proudly displaying their prowess have now become a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but what Han Jin couldn't understand was that despite those knights being on the verge of complete collapse, they still persisted in fighting.

  They're not unwilling to escape, but they know it's impossible!

  "Heavens... The vampire guard of Zargoned!" Moskino's face had already turned pale.
