Chapter 77 Since they won't submit, then they'll become resources!
Wang Yang and Li Bin exchanged a glance.
They both saw the ruthlessness in each other's eyes.
"Let's do it!"
Wang Yang spat and followed after them, carrying the Blazing Battle Axe.
Li Bin gripped the highly venomous piercing weapon tightly in his hand, his figure silently disappearing into the shadows.
As for Zhong Chengyu, his roommate, and the two girls, Jiang Ming told them to stay where they were and meet them.
The distance is rapidly closing.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
The indigenous cavalryman who was putting out the fire finally extinguished the flames on his body.
He turned around, cursing, and prepared to fetch the horse.
Sudden.
A gust of wind swept in from the bushes on the side.
He instinctively tried to raise his spear to block.
But it was too late.
A silver-white figure rushed towards them like a steel chariot.
Jiang Ming gripped the black iron horse-slaying sword tightly with both hands, unleashing all 15 points of his strength at this moment.
This sword strike lacked any fancy techniques.
Only pure, violent speed and power!
"die!"
The black blade cut through the air with a mournful whistling sound.
puff!
The native cavalryman didn't even have time to scream.
The man and his spear were cleaved in two by this sword!
Blood mixed with entrails was sprayed onto the holly trees in the green belt.
The scout cavalryman who had been cut in half at the waist was still twitching at the waist, his internal organs spilling out onto the ground, emitting a nauseating stench.
[Defeat the human scout cavalry (Lv.8) in Locke Town and gain 800 experience points.]
Jiang Ming ignored the text on the panel because he noticed that the remaining native cavalryman seemed to be terrified by him.
The native cavalryman was also staring at the monster in front of him, which was covered in silver-white steel, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
In Locke Town, only the esteemed Knight Commander possesses full plate armor, but even the Knight Commander's armor is not as exquisite or imposing as the one before us.
"Demon...devil..."
The native cavalryman let out a strange cry and turned to try and disappear into the depths of the bushes.
But he forgot that he had just broken his leg.
He had barely taken a step when the excruciating pain caused him to lose his balance and tumble awkwardly into the mud pit.
Before he could even get up, a heavy metal combat boot had already stepped on his back.
Click!
The crisp cracking sound of the spine breaking was clearly audible.
Jiang Ming remained expressionless, reversed the black iron horse-slaying sword in his hand, aimed the tip at the back of the native cavalryman, and stabbed it down fiercely.
puff!
The blade pierced his heart, pinning him to the ground.
[Defeat the human scout cavalry (Lv.8) in Locke Town and gain 800 experience points.]
Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv.7!
[Gain 1 free attribute point to allocate!]
Jiang Ming didn't even glance at the upgrade notification that popped up on his retina.
On the edge of this battlefield where every second counts, any unnecessary movement is tantamount to suicide.
"Don't just stand there! Do it!"
Jiang Ming drew his blood-stained sword and shouted back.
Wang Yang and Li Bin, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, immediately rushed out from the bushes behind them.
Their movements were so skillful it was heartbreaking.
Wang Yang kicked aside the corpse of the native cavalryman, and the blazing battle axe in his hand now served as a boning knife, severing the leather armor straps in a few strokes.
"Great stuff! This leather armor isn't as good as yours, Brother Jiang, but it's much better than the leather armor we make ourselves!"
Wang Yang excitedly stripped off the leather armor, which was still warm from his body, and even took the leather boots from the native cavalryman's feet.
Li Bin, on the other hand, was more concerned with weapons.
He picked up the two spears and also searched the native cavalryman's waist for the short blade and money pouch.
"This is a spearhead made of refined iron. Although the craftsmanship is rough, it is still quite lethal." Li Bin pushed up his glasses and quickly assessed the value of the spoils. "This money bag contains silver stone coins, which should be the currency used in that indigenous town."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
Jiang Ming did not participate in looting the corpse.
His gaze was fixed on two warhorses not far away, which were snorting restlessly.
In this alien world where transportation is scarce, two trained warhorses are worth even more than two sets of leather armor.
Mobility often means the right to survival.
Jiang Ming strode toward the chestnut warhorse closest to him.
The horse seemed to sense the strong smell of blood and killing intent emanating from Jiang Ming, and it neighed uneasily, pawing the ground with its hind hooves.
When Jiang Ming reached out his hand, covered in metal gauntlets, to grab the reins.
Herod!
The warhorse suddenly reared up, its two large front hooves carrying hundreds of pounds of force, and stomped hard towards Jiang Ming's face!
"Brother Jiang, be careful!" Wang Yang exclaimed.
Jiang Ming did not retreat but advanced.
He didn't dodge, but instead snorted coldly, his left hand suddenly shot up, accurately grabbing one of the warhorse's front legs in mid-air and pulling it down sharply!
Although he doesn't have the [Beast Taming] skill, he has a whopping 15 points of Strength!
boom!
The warhorse lost its balance and fell heavily to its side, letting out a painful whinny.
Before it could even struggle to get up, Jiang Ming had already stepped on the horse's head.
"A beast is a beast; it doesn't know what's good for it."
Jiang Ming snorted coldly, showing no pity whatsoever.
Since it can't be used for my own purposes, then let it become a resource!
He held the sword high in his hand, drawing a cold arc in the sunlight.
puff!
The massive horse's head was severed, and scalding blood sprayed all over Jiang Ming, making his silver-white armor look even more ferocious.
[Defeat the chestnut horse (Lv.4) to gain 400 experience points.]
Jiang Ming flicked the blood off his sword, turned around, and walked toward the second gray horse with an even more terrifying aura.
The gray horse witnessed the entire brutal murder of its companion.
It was also anxiously trying to break free of its reins and escape.
But when the blood-covered steel monster approached, it froze.
Its animal instincts told it that resistance meant death.
Jiang Ming walked up to the gray horse, stretched out his blood-stained iron hand, and grabbed its reins.
The gray horse trembled all over, its huge eyes filled with fear, and its four legs seemed to be made of lead, rooted to the spot, not daring to move an inch.
It lowered its proud head, let out a low, ingratiating whimper, and even nuzzled against Jiang Ming's gauntlet.
"That's right."
Jiang Ming flipped over and mounted the horse.
Despite wearing heavy full armor, the warhorse only slightly bent its knees and steadily bore the weight.
"Old Wang, are you done?"
As Jiang Ming spoke, he turned his horse around and looked at the battlefield in the neighborhood not far away.
"Get out of here quickly, the main target is about to find us."
The battle at Xingfu Jiayuan residential community has reached a stalemate.
Flames spread between the buildings, and billowing black smoke shot straight into the eerie dark red sky.
In the central fountain square of the neighborhood, Rorschach, the scout captain of Locke Town, was on the verge of exploding in rage.
"Damn it! Those lowly farmers!"
Luo Xia used his spear to knock away a travel gas cylinder thrown by a man standing on the second floor of the stone tower. He was then hit by the blast wave from the explosion of the travel gas cylinder, which made his hand hurt.
He had initially thought it would be an easy robbery.
These humans, who lived in strange stone towers, were oddly dressed, physically weak, and didn't even have decent weapons.
But he was wrong.
That's completely wrong.
The terrain here was a nightmare for these mounted warriors.
Everywhere was paved with those hard, black stones; although smooth, they were too slippery.
Moreover, the roads between those towering stone towers are ridiculously narrow, and all sorts of messy metal boxes (cars) block the way.
The most deadly thing is that these "farmers" have incredibly bizarre methods of killing.
Just now, before his adjutant could even enter the interior of a "stone tower," he was struck on the head by a black object that fell from the sky and died!
He'd never even seen one before!
"Captain! Let's retreat! The brothers can't fight effectively!"
A cavalryman, his face covered in soot, approached and shouted, "This place is too eerie! Is that the fire of the gods? How come water can't extinguish it!"
He was referring to the oil fire caused by homemade Molotov cocktails.
Luo Xia gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.
As the most elite scout captain in Locke Town, if he were to retreat in such a disgraceful manner, he would surely be hanged by the lord upon his return.
He needs a reason.
A respectable, tactical reason for retreat.
or……
A new, more valuable goal.
Just then, a cavalryman responsible for perimeter security stumbled over, pointing towards the outside of the residential area and shouting:
"Captain! Outside! That's...that's..."
