The flames were ignited. Even in the bright daylight, the flickering flames on the spears still represented burning and destruction!

"Gale!"

The powerful command brought by the 'Ten Sages of the Martial Temple' made the soldiers under Shuoyue as calm as machines, and they threw their killing weapons as if they were one mind. Their targets were naturally the enemy's food and supplies, as well as all flammable materials within their sight!

In an instant, the barracks caught fire. Many soldiers were caught in the arms of the fire demon before they could even change their armor. They screamed and turned into charcoal.

Under the lightning attack of Shuoyue and his group, the enemy camp was in chaos, but the white-haired young man didn't even look at the scene behind him, but just turned his horse's head.

"Everyone retreat! Tell the Governor there is a large enemy camp here and have him send in his army to annihilate it!"

They shouted in a loud voice that they wished everyone could hear, and the next moment, the team of more than 30 people started to gallop again. The blood energy rising from the military camp wrapped around them, dispelling the air flow and carrying them quickly towards the exit.

"Stop, stop them!" The centurion in the patrol team drew his dagger and ordered his men to block the only exit.

All the defensive facilities on the road were useless - because the enemy came from behind them. Even so, the patrol soldiers were still well-trained and formed a shield formation. The large shields covered with animal skins were stacked up one after another to form a barrier, blocking the team's way out.

In the burning barracks, the centurions were shouting and reorganizing the troops, gathering the manpower, and vowing to encircle the surprise attack team from both inside and outside and annihilate them here.

The young man in the lead made it clear that they were scouts. If they were allowed to escape, the Roman Empire would definitely send a large army, and then they would be the ones to be killed!

"You take people to put out the fire, and the rest of you come with me. We must kill all these guys! We must not let any of them escape!"

Then the army behind them came in a mighty force, and the patrol team in front built an iron wall. Shuoyue and others had no way out!

But the white-haired young man just sneered, and drew his sword together with the warrior behind him. A dangerous bloody aura condensed on both the sword blades and the four hooves of the war horses.

"Get out of here!"

The team of thirty people turned into arrows and crashed into the shield formation of a hundred people. In an instant, screams were heard everywhere!

Chapter 245 Cutting, encirclement and suppression, the end of the wave

Like a streaking meteor.

It was like being bathed in blood and fire.

The knights who brought the apocalypse were so close. The horses' violent kicks trampled on the man-powered shields, which was as deafening as the impact of a battering ram. The blood from their four hooves easily broke the wooden shields, just as the Celtic sword easily chopped off an arm from a human body. When the bloody sword flashed, a person's shoulder, limbs or head was separated from the body, and the neck was stabbed into a bloody mess, with internal organs scattered all over the ground.

The shield formation that seemed impregnable collapsed the moment it came into contact with the knights. The screams of their dying companions shocked their minds. The soldiers from the United Empire looked at the knights charging in front of them, saw the red color in the depths of their eyes, and their hands and feet could not stop shaking.

Those were not soldiers of the living, for they came covered in a sea of ​​blood and corpses. They came with Morse's will, to cut off the hair of the living and take away their souls!

At the moment they realized this, the messenger of death came on horseback and sent them to Hades in a more direct way.

The brutal engagement was over in an instant. To outsiders, it seemed that the white-haired general had just led his soldiers to charge, destroyed the shield line of defense, and walked away after leaving behind the corpses.

The centurion was furious at the patrol's disastrous defeat. He cursed loudly, abandoned the slow-moving troops, and ordered the cavalry to charge with him, chasing the enemy who was getting farther and farther away.

After breaking the shield formation, Shuoyue's way forward was unobstructed. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at his knights with a gloomy look on his face.

Even though he tried his best to protect them with Blood Evil, two cavalrymen still fell behind and were killed by the patrol soldiers.

Even though Shuoyue had prepared himself mentally, he still found it difficult to accept as he always pursued perfection.

Of course, as long as the war continues, such feelings will become numb sooner or later.

Thinking of this, the young man looked into the distance and caught a glimpse of the enemy officer who was rushing over with a small team, his face flushed with anger.

"It's not a good thing for the opponent to be too stupid, so try to stop him."

Upon hearing this, the cavalrymen took out their spare light spears. There was no need to calibrate them deliberately. They just threw them from a distance based on feel, and dozens of spears fell like rain.

"Attention——!" The pursuers behind had already noticed this round of attack. Although they were shocked, they stopped and used various means to resist.

Except for a few unlucky guys who were injured and fell off their horses, the others quickly avoided this round of impact, but their speed inevitably slowed down. The centurion was so angry that he cursed loudly, but it was of no avail.

At this time, not only the pursuing team, but the large enemy force also chased out of the camp and poured into the trails in the forest, determined to capture all of these "scouts".

"It's time." Shuoyue was always paying attention to his surroundings. After hearing the sudden sharp cry of birds in the forest, he pulled the horse's head and raised the bronze sword in his hand high.

The scarlet blood shot up into the sky and turned into a dazzling signal, catching everyone's eyes.

Before the enemy could react, the sound of charging and killing suddenly rang out from both sides of the woods. Led by a group of generals, the two armies penetrated into the pursuing force like sharp knives, breaking the formation into pieces.

"Oh no, it's an ambush! Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The officer who led the pursuit finally realized the crisis and shouted loudly, but it was too late.

The number of enemies hiding on the hills was far beyond imagination, as if they were not ambushes, but the main force of the enemy. At the same time, they had already planned to divide the battlefield, and any soldiers who looked like leaders were immediately targeted and killed in the chaos.

The soldiers without the command of their superiors were like a group of scattered sand, unable to organize an effective defense. However, the army of the Roman Empire was ready to go. First, a wave of javelins were thrown, and then the young soldiers rushed forward with swords, fighting in the chaos. By the time the enemy reacted, the young soldiers had retreated to the second formation. The strong young soldiers stood in the front and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, while the young soldiers behind them and mercenaries from other areas followed suit, using arrows and stones to kill the dangerous enemies first.

Even if some enemies managed to escape and gather together, they would be further separated and defeated one by one by the well-trained teams.

The dying wails echoed in the forest, and the splattered blood dyed the leaves red and was greedily absorbed by the soil.

It was clearly a battle of equal strength, but now it has turned into a complete massacre.

First, they pretended to be weak, then launched a blitzkrieg to break into the enemy's stronghold, destroyed the gate, and burned the tents; then they used intelligence information as a threat to force the United Empire Army to go out and hunt them down; then they took advantage of the terrain to ambush the enemy in reverse, and the army broke in, cut off, encircled and suppressed, and the wave was over.

The overall situation has been decided.

While the generals were directing their men to advance, they could not help but look at their governor, the young man with white hair and bloody eyes, with admiration.

While waiting for the order, they also discussed the battle plan. If they had the same strength, they could only think of leading the army to break through the checkpoint, and before the enemy's camp was set up, invade the village as quickly as possible and attack the enemy. The city battle turned into an encounter, and pairs began to be consumed.

As the saying goes, great efforts bring about miracles. They just need to work hard and leave the rest to the miracles.

As long as they could catch the enemy off guard and strike them head-on before they could react, they would have a great chance of winning.

But in that case, a lot of soldiers would inevitably be lost, and it would never be like the current situation, where the enemy has no power to resist at all and the entire forest has become their hunting ground.

Such achievements were all made by the newly appointed governor.

Shuoyue, who had already gained the loyalty of the generals, led dozens of his own light cavalry to make a surprise attack when his own army, which had been lying in ambush, rushed towards the officers who had been chasing them just seconds ago.

At this time, the fighting in the forest has begun. Whether they are prey or hunters, injured or dead, their blood and resentment are all absorbed by Shuo Yue's spiritual base, so——

"What on earth is this?!"

The officers stared at the cavalrymen who turned around and rushed towards them, at the blood-red heavy armor that gradually took on their bodies, and at the increasingly sharp and terrifying weapons in their hands, and they were stunned.

This is not a so-called scout team, it is clearly a bloody pagoda wearing heavy armor!

The bloody aura filled with hatred rushed towards them. The war horses began to feel afraid, the soldiers began to riot, and the officer tightly grasped the dagger in his hand, opening his mouth to speak, but had nothing to say.

Escape? He was in dire straits, and there were countless enemies who were eyeing the little bit of military merit on his neck.

Charge? They came in a hurry, some of them didn't even put on their armor, how could they fight against this group of heavy cavalry?

It didn't take long for the officer to stop thinking, because Shuoyue came with a sword and skillfully cut off his head.

It was like a bloody heavy cavalry galloping from hell, defeating the officers and hundreds of cavalry behind them with great ease. Then they drove straight in, transformed into tigers and wolves and rushed into the flock of lambs, killing any god they saw and any Buddha they saw, as if they were in an empty space, further undermining the enemy's will to fight.

Afterwards, the Roman Empire's army joined forces. After leaving a part of the troops to guard the prisoners, the rest of the soldiers filed out and swarmed towards the broken camp which had no protection at all. They controlled the soldiers inside and completely cut off any possibility of resistance from the United Empire.

The ambush of two thousand men against two thousand men ended with a great victory for Shuoyue's side.

Should I ask for some votes?

Chapter 246 Young man, the star of death above your head is shining

After a morning of fierce fighting and cleaning up the mess, the enemy camp completely fell into Shuoyue's hands.

At lunch time, the army was divided into three teams: one for garrison, one for guarding the prisoners, and one for enjoying lunch.

The tense battle was over. The soldiers in the camp smiled with ease, enjoying the rare and sumptuous meal that the treasurer had brought in an hour ago.

As for the supervisory team who could only patrol miserably at the camp gate or temporarily act as jailers and guard a team of thousands of prisoners because of their failure in the centurion drawing lots, they could only stare at the cheese and bacon in the hands of the soldiers in the camp, as well as the fruits that Shuoyue personally led people to pick, with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

"Governor, don't you want to eat?" Rosario, with a scar on his face and a mouth full of oil, asked respectfully to the white-haired young man who was looking into the distance.

Shuoyue just waved his hand. As a servant, his desire for food was not as strong as that of a certain Daimao.

"Instead of that, why don't you tell me how many casualties the army has suffered? How is the food and supplies harvested, Lieutenant General?"

Yes, after confirming Rosario's loyalty, Shuoyue decided to let him take over the position of that idiot Goering and handle many trivial matters on his behalf.

"Yes!" The middle-aged uncle's face flushed with the word 'deputy general', and he told the battle situation he had remembered for a long time, "Forty-two of our people were killed in the battle, and 312 were injured. Most of them were slightly injured. The seriously injured have been sent to the camp commander's tent for emergency treatment, and they will be sent to the main camp in the afternoon."

"Well, is there any news from the camp?"

The main camp, which is Shuoyue's base in Pisa, is basically an empty city with only a few messengers stationed there.

"Not yet, but when I asked, those guys seemed to be a little..."

"what?"

"No, it may be my illusion." Rosario paused and continued to report, "As for the seized materials, most of the cloth robes and food were burned by the fire. Only a part of them was rescued, but the damage to the weapons and equipment was not serious. They can be put into use after rest."

"Well, it seems that this is a resource point built by the United Empire," Shuoyue nodded, then turned around and gave a few instructions before walking towards the location of the captives.

Pisa is located near the Mediterranean Sea. Although the winter is mild and rainy, it is extremely hot in the summer. Not to mention that the Mediterranean climate has different periods of rain and heat, and the air is extremely dry. This is why Shuoyue easily set the camp on fire with a fire attack.

The weather was fine today, which was good weather for those who were out traveling, but it was pure hell for the captives who had to kneel on the ground with their hands on their heads.

The scorching sun licked their skin, the lack of moisture made their lips cracked, and the scorching air rising from the earth made people dizzy and eroded their thinking and rationality bit by bit.

Some people could not bear it and fell to the ground, but under the command of Shuoyue, the soldiers of the Roman Empire just watched coldly and shouted at anyone who was about to make a move.

In such a heavy and depressing atmosphere, the sky suddenly darkened.

Is it going to rain?

Some captives looked up in ecstasy, but then their pupils suddenly shrank and they fell into great fear.

That was an endless, surging sea of ​​blood.

Resentment is hard to dissipate, and the blood left by countless humans killing each other was also absorbed by the young man. Before time had time to heal the scars, they were reopened by Shuoyue.

The raging blood evil obscured the sky and blocked the sunlight, but no one felt at ease, because the materialized hatred was right above their heads, cursing all living beings and wanting to drag them into eternal suffering.

"I ask you, are you willing to surrender and become part of the Roman Empire again?"

In this hellish scene, a white-haired young man slowly walked up to the platform and asked calmly:

"Do you admit that the United Empire is a heresy that should be tried? Do you admit that our Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus is the sole owner of this land?"

"Answer me, soldier, if you have the heart to praise the glory of Augustus, then come forward, bend your knees, and receive grace."

The prisoners were in a commotion because they saw the soldiers spread a long table before the young man and the quartermaster placed bread and fruit on it.

Food, water.

Hope of life.

Their bodies groaned with hunger, the beasts in their hearts pounded against the dam of loyalty, the bloody resentment in the sky still regarded them as enemies, and the colleagues falling beside them seemed like a preview of their end.

Take a step forward.

Just take one step forward to stop this cruel torture and usher in relief.

So, what are you hesitating about!

Then, someone collapsed. A limping man crawled out of the queue, howling and banging his head on the ground. After his blood dyed the stones on the ground red, the soldiers in front finally mercifully made way for him, allowing him to rush to the dining table and feast on his food.

Once there is a first, there will be a second. All it takes to detonate a barrel of explosives is a small flame. After the lame man, more captives stumbled to their feet, their eyes revealing a desire for life. They bowed deeply to the young man standing on the platform to show their loyalty.

The blood-red clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sun once again filled the world. The surrendered soldiers greedily absorbed water and meat, as if they were reborn.

"Eat this sacrament and shed tears of gratitude for the forgiveness granted to you by His Majesty the Emperor."

After Shuoyue said this calmly, his bloodshot eyes passed over the group of defeated dogs with broken spines and locked onto the remaining captives who were loyal or still holding on to a lucky hope.

"As for you guys, do you want to die to prove your integrity? Very good."

Seeing that the prisoners were still silent, the young man gave an unusually bright smile.

"Then let's dig a hole."

Isn't it because of that famous massacre that the servant possessed him became so notorious?

What's more, after clicking on restore, everything will return to its original state, so Shuoyue will have no psychological burden when doing such things.

Digging?

In the young man's pitying eyes, the captives seemed to realize something, and fear was revealed in the depths of their eyes.

Before anyone could beg for mercy, a passionate voice as bright as the sun rang out:

"Hmm! I thought I could still ride with the soldiers to kill the enemy, but I didn't expect to win the victory so quickly. You are worthy of being the Governor!"

As soon as he heard that iconic interjection, Shuoyue knew which immortal had come running over. He sighed deeply, and his aura of authority disappeared in an instant, and he turned his head helplessly.
