There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

There were no passionate pre-war speeches, only one simple purpose - to quell the rebellion.

He rode his horse, drew his flag, pointed it to the west, and shouted:

"March!"

"Madam, is this really okay?" Aurora asked under the eaves where rain kept falling, forming a curtain of water.

She and Alei have now changed into their respective armors, just like before, and even Xia has put on light armor.

"Aurora, do you believe Domi?"

Xia finally adjusted her equipment, speaking as she did so.

"Your Excellency is the person I trust the most."

"Then we just need to follow him closely and silently support all his decisions."

Take a day off

I'm really stuck in a writer's block, so I'll take a day off to find some inspiration.

Chapter 282: River of Blood

Chapter 282-281- A River of Blood

There used to be countless small countries between the Empire and the Central Plains, but due to geographical limitations, these countries have never been able to expand into medium or large countries, and this has been the case for hundreds of years.

These small countries that attract attention are more like a buffer zone between the superpower and multiple powers.

But the nature of the empire changed when it began to annex these small countries and connected the borders with the Central Plains.

The big countries in the Central Plains had to smile on the surface and provide assistance secretly.

It’s a pity that the company was unable to reverse the decline in the end.

So much so that now they have to face Lionheart head-on.

However, the fate of the emperor is uncertain, and the three princes and two princesses are fighting for the throne. This is a great opportunity for them to make trouble. Although they haven't torn their faces apart yet, the Central Plains Kingdom has never stopped assisting and instigating the conquered country...

At this time, in the conquered area, on the city wall of a city a little further away from the mainland of the empire.

The soldiers with determined eyes are sticking to their posts meticulously, watching every move outside.

Outside the city wall is an uneven hilly area. It would be fine under normal circumstances, but the clouds are too thick tonight, blocking all the moonlight, making visibility low, so they have to be extra careful.

Just then, a man wearing clothes that were obviously superior to theirs and wearing a T-shaped helmet came from the direction of the city wall.

They quickly saluted him:

"Sir!"

The man nodded slightly.

But just as he passed by the soldier, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared! Like a poisonous snake hiding in the bushes, the deadly blade stabbed into the soldier's soft neck!

puff-

The sharp dagger was ruthlessly pulled out from the neck.

The hot and sticky blood was mixed with the soldier's fearful and desperate sobs, and finally he fell to the ground silently.

This scene was played out simultaneously on the entire city wall.

In this way, the defense of the city wall collapsed and the city gate was opened from the inside.

Domi stood on the highest city wall, looking down at the city that had long been devoured and occupied by the indigenous rebels, and snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a huge and eerie black portal rose from the ground on the originally empty hill, and thousands of heavily armed cavalrymen of uncertain shapes and sizes appeared out of thin air.

The iron hooves trampled the earth, like thunder coming from far away.

Countless civilians and soldiers who were dreaming of restoring their country were awakened from their sleep, but before they could react, the cavalry broke through the city gates and galloped freely on the central avenue.

The spears burning with will-o'-the-wisp fire pierced through the garrison tents, and the dark blue flames instantly swept across the entire city, as if it had fallen into a sea of ​​fire.

The souls from the underworld callously plunge their spears into the flesh of the living, killing and nourishing themselves.

For a moment, the roar of soldiers and the cries of children resounded throughout the city.

The commanders' heads had already fallen into the hands of assassins, and the rebels' defense line was in chaos, like fish on Domi's chopping board.

He opened all the city gates on all four sides and allowed the civilians to escape, but cruelly did not let a single soldier go. He just watched everything below with cold eyes.

The sound gradually subsided...

The bloody and brutal battle lasted until dawn the next day.

All that was left of the city were ruins, debris, and countless cold corpses.

Domi jumped off the city wall. At this time, the soldiers of Sword of the Kingdom were searching for all the usable supplies in the city and piling them into a high hill in the central square.

His previous experience in war simulations told him that if he wanted to defeat all the rebels with a lightning offensive, these baggage would only slow him down and the cost would outweigh the gain.

So he immediately issued an order:

"Everyone should resupply a little, and all the unused materials should be destroyed, leaving only the valuables."

He had already contacted the people from the nearest Four Seasons Chamber of Commerce in advance and asked them to come overnight with a horse-drawn carriage to transport the valuables away as military expenses.

Fight to support the war, replenish supplies and plunder wherever you fight, and then turn it into strength to continue the next battle. This is Domi's current overall combat strategy.

At this time, Afu came over.

She was originally much older than Duomi, but after all this time of hardship, she has grown into a strong woman with a tough and iron fist.

There is not a single soldier in Kingdom Sword who is not afraid of Afu.

Not only is her management methods and punishments extremely harsh, but her appearance also adds a lot to this.

She unfortunately lost her right eye in a battle, and ever since then she has been wearing a half black eyepatch, like a female pirate.

Following behind her at this time were Xia and three others.

They didn't say anything. Afu just looked at Duomi deeply for a while and then returned to her usual expression. She summarized it in the simplest words:

"Domi, all the pre-planned plans have been implemented in this city. Looting supplies, self-supplied, and looting everything valuable... It took two hours in total. It will probably be faster next time."

He nodded after listening: "Well, that's good. For us, speed is everything."

"So what's the next goal?"

"Go straight to the royal city. That's where the rebel leaders of this country gather. All the towns along the way should follow this pattern."

"Then I will give the order first."

After saying that, Afu mounted her horse and left in a swift and decisive manner.

After she left, Xia got off the horse. As soon as she saw Domi's eyes, she knew what he was thinking. She walked up to him, stood beside him and whispered:

"If you feel you have done nothing wrong, then go ahead and do it. At least we trust you absolutely, no matter how confusing and hateful your actions may be."

"Thanks……"

Duomi lowered his eyes and seemed to feel relieved.

Soon he raised his head again, his eyes became firm again, and he began to supervise the army and give orders.

Under the command of him, Afu and Lancelot, the 5,000-man army cleaned up the mess in an orderly manner and tried to be ready to go again in an hour.

As the military flags fluttered in the wind, a long expeditionary dragon filed out of the city gate, with the tips of their guns pointed directly at the target that Domi wanted to strike!

The rebels' organizational structure is not as tight as that of the kingdom, and it often takes longer for information to be conveyed quickly and accurately.

In addition, Domi has absolute numerical superiority in controlling the land, sea and air forces, making it even more difficult to send out the intelligence.

It was this information vacuum that caused all the rebels defending the city to be captured one after another by Domi's elite army before they could even react. They crushed the enemy like a god of war, and in just three days they reached the royal city from the border.

Even when the army was approaching the city, the rebels in the royal city had just reacted.

"The Imperial Army is coming!" Although the soldiers were panicked, they still stayed at their posts.

The rebel general slammed the table and stood up, shouting in shock: "What?!"

But he soon calmed down:

"Immediately order the entire army to prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time have the logistics personnel transport the ammunition for the city defense equipment to the city wall!"

"Also, send a team to the palace to protect the upper echelons as they leave."

The royal city was worthy of being called a royal city. The number and quality of the rebels inside were incomparable to those in the surrounding cities. Even though they were a little slow in reacting, they still managed to temporarily organize a defense line.

With the tall city wall behind me, my life is safe for the time being...?

It was still daytime, so the night attack method obviously would not be effective yet.

Domi didn't waste time with them. He waved his hand and the underworld appeared. The undead knights occupied all possible places to stay like a tsunami.

The mountain-like Susanoo drew his long bow and with three arrows he smashed the seemingly indestructible wall.

Legend has it that a dragon swooped down from the clouds, pouring its destructive breath down upon the city walls.

The skeleton horse under Domi raised its front hooves and neighed from its soul.

As Susanoo's arrows pierced the sky and knocked down the rebel flags on the city wall, countless iron hooves galloped at the same time, merging into a steel torrent that was unstoppable!

Domi rushed directly to the front, and the three warriors of the Night Villa who had become small bosses led the Undead Knights to follow behind. Aurora and Alewei were next, and they protected Xia in the innermost part with the force of three horns, so that she could cast illusions without worries to confuse the enemies in front.

When he rushed to the bottom of the city wall, he raised the crystallized command sword and roared:

"Kill!!! Find all the rebels and leave no one alive!!"

Chapter 283 Six Nations Alliance

Chapter 283-282- Six Nations Alliance

"Master Pete! Come on, we should go!"

The palace, which had long been occupied by the rebels, has now become the residence and command base of the rebel leaders.

A middle-aged man named Pete is the leader of a rebel group that wants the country to regain independence.

"What happened that makes you so flustered?"

The team leader said anxiously: "The Imperial... Imperial Army has already attacked the city! The general asked us to come and cover you and the other adults to leave."

"what?!"

"How come we only know about such a big commotion now? What about the cities outside the royal city? Didn't anyone come to the royal city to report the news?"

After saying this, Peter realized that those cities might have been reduced to ruins under the empire's iron cavalry, and even information could hardly be transmitted...

"Let's go!" He said without hesitation: "The palace has an underground passage specially used for escape! Let's go through there!"

The largest number of soldiers were used to cover the departure of leader Pete, but this also made the team bloated, and the group was extremely conspicuous when they walked out of the building.

Then, as expected, an accident happened.

"Everyone, please stay."

On the road that everyone had to take to escape, a handsome man in black light armor stopped them. The black cloak engraved with the mark of the Sword of the Kingdom fluttered slightly in the wind, and his temperament was extraordinary.

"Excuse me, who is Mr. Peter?"

His voice was calm and polite, as if this was not a battlefield but a street coffee shop.

The team leader knew that this guy was coming for Pete behind him, so without saying a word, he told the team members to stand in the middle.

Their actions speak for themselves.

"It seems that you are Pete, the rebel leader of this country."

"Protect Master Pete!! Master Pete, run!"

The captain roared, then he and his teammates drew their swords from their waists and rushed towards Domi regardless of their own safety!

"Amazing courage."

No one saw Domi move, nor did anyone see any fluctuations in his magic, so what was going on with the deep blue blade that appeared in the air?

Those blades have no handles or grips, simply stripping out the sharpest part of a knife, full of irregular yet violent beauty.

"People like you should come and work in my underworld."
