Chapter Ten Victory

  Moments later, the pirate camp was engulfed in a sea of flames, with thick black smoke billowing up to the sky, causing the sun in the sky to lose its luster.

  A burst of cheers erupted from the top of Xiniya City at this moment.

  The pirates who were advancing stopped again, with a growing sense of unease in their ranks.

  Ye Feng circled around the campsite and found nothing else to burn, so he threw down the torch in his hand and rode out of the camp from the other side.

  It wasn't until then that the pirate reinforcements came running back, panting heavily and carrying their weapons.

  Ye Feng didn't even raise an eyebrow, riding his warhorse straight at them. It was like a heavy tank entering a cornfield, plowing out a wide path among them.

  These poor pirates were in despair to find that, in the just concluded collision, whether they used knives or swords to slash and stab, not only did they fail to knock him off his horse, but they could not even budge the knight half a step, at most leaving only a white mark on his body.

  The deputy looked at his back and asked his subordinates with a terrified face: "What kind of monster is that?"

  Yefeng's legs kept exerting force, clamping the horse's belly. The warhorse's speed continued to increase, his ears filled with the sound of rushing wind. Like a massive boulder rolling down from the top of a mountain, unstoppable.

  He transferred the long spear to his left hand, and with his right hand drew a long sword from behind his back, made a sword flower, and pointed the long sword straight at the blood-colored skull flag in the pirate array.

  The bugle sounded urgently.

  A small detachment of soldiers, under the strict orders of Turek, hastily detached itself from the troops and barred his path.

  Ye Feng sneered coldly behind his mask. If they had sent out a large troop of soldiers, forming a dense phalanx to block him, it might have been effective. But they were mistakenly formed into a thin formation, trying to spread out to both wings to surround him. This made him wonder if the opponent's commander had an IQ below 30.

  It's not actually their fault, after all none of them had ever seen the might of heavy cavalry before. Before the invention of stirrups and saddles, cavalry was just a joke to everyone. There were more knights who fell off their horses and broke their necks due to poor balance than those killed by enemies.

  Their only knowledge of cavalry is that they run fast - very fast, but nothing more. Someone once said bluntly: What's the use of cavalry? They're only useful when running away.

  The pirates found that the knight did not gallop around or slow down to meet the enemy as people thought.

  He charged directly into the pirates, first using his long spear to open up the pirates' weapons. His war horse directly knocked two pirates who were blocking his way flying, and the dull crashing sound mixed with the sound of breaking bones made everyone who heard it tremble with fear.

  The knight on horseback did not fall off the horse as everyone expected, but his body didn't even sway at all, and he galloped away at an unchanged speed like a mad wind.

  Like stepping across a small brook, splashing up a few red water flowers.

  Ye Feng charged straight into the pirate's main array, his horse trampling and spear thrusting, killing a path through. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived under the skull flag. With a swing of his left hand, he lifted another pirate who was guarding the flag high up in the air. The pirate let out a blood-curdling scream as he flailed about in mid-air, causing the others to retreat in fear. Ye Feng shook his hand and threw the pirate off the spear tip, landing squarely on top of another pirate. The two men's heads collided like two watermelons being smashed open, with red and white fluids flowing all over the ground.

  At the same time, his right hand long sword was raised high and then aimed at the flagpole, flashing down with lightning speed. The flagpole was cut into two segments in an instant. The red skull flag swayed in the wind for a moment before crashing to the ground.

  The battlefield was suddenly silent, then the crowd on the city wall burst into a thunderous cheer.

  Tu Xi was enraged and shouted loudly: "Bring him up, kill him."

  Ye Feng heard the sound and looked at him. Tu Xi saw a cruel smile in his eyes. The gaze was so cold and ruthless that he couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

  Yefeng saw that his goal had been achieved, and not wanting to prolong the battle, he pulled on the reins, and his warhorse sidestepped, drawing an arc, and charged out from where the crowd was sparse. He deeply knew the weakness of heavy armored cavalry, if they lost their speed, they were no more useful than a turtle.

  He galloped out of the pirate's team, broke away from contact, and galloped up a small hill. Only then did he rein in his horse. Standing proudly on the hillside.

  Oola stared blankly at the city head, muttering in disbelief: "He's really a monster."

  The castle erupted in a huge cheer once again, although this knight looked chilling to the heart, he was on our side, and that was enough.

  Toukyuu felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. This was the monster that had emerged from there, a perfect combination of extremely fast impact speed and powerful killing power, and no one understood how he did it.

  He furiously waved his large knife, uncontrollably starting to use the blade instead of the back of the knife to drive away the mob of followers, "Up, get up. Everyone surround him together and chop that guy into pieces for me. Whoever dares to retreat one step will be killed without pardon!"

  The pirates exchanged uneasy glances, no matter how he scolded them, they refused to take a step forward.

  Yefeng stood on the high ridge, seeing that these guys were still maintaining their formation and queue type in an orderly manner even though they were burned in the camp and their war flag was destroyed. He was greatly surprised in his heart.

  Because, the only troops that can achieve this in such a situation are the exceptionally strong and invincible People's Army of legend. In fact, he didn't know that this was mainly because his previous attack was too fast and too unexpected, so the pirates hadn't recovered from their shock yet.

  Seeing Ye Feng standing there, motionless and unyielding. The pirates, who had gradually calmed down from the unexpected blow, discovered that he was alone, without a single helper, and couldn't help but feel a little restless again. Under Tu Xi's loud curses and promises of heavy rewards, they slowly closed in on him.

  Ye Feng couldn't help but secretly sigh, the intense battle had exhausted the warhorse. It was carrying over 200 kilograms of people and armor, running back and forth for five or six miles. He could even feel the warhorse's sweat seeping through the heavy armor, its muscles trembling nonstop.

  He now has no way out except to put on a very strong posture, and can only hope that every bit of rest is a bit, accumulating some strength to break through the siege.

  Suddenly a loud trumpet sound came from the distant sea. Everyone's heart tightened, and they all turned around to look. Several tall three-layer paddle warships flew in quickly from the horizon, but the flags on the warships were too far away to be seen clearly.

  The battlefield was silent for a moment, and everyone's heart was weighed down by a heavy stone. It was also unknown which side the decisive force that could change the fate of the battlefield was on.

  The warship is getting closer and the battle flag is fluttering in the wind. Someone shouted loudly: "The golden eagle battle flag hanging above, it's the Imperial Navy, our reinforcements have arrived."

  The city of Xi'nia was suddenly filled with joy.

  The pirate ships anchored at sea ignored the attacking troops on the shore and fled in a hurry. Despite this, many ships were destroyed or capsized by the navy's tall warships.

  The pirates were finally crushed by this last straw, and they no longer paid attention to any orders. They scattered in all directions like an avalanche, fleeing into the surrounding mountains and forests, with swords and knives thrown all over the ground. Only that siege engine was left standing alone on the spot.

  The gates of Xiniya City opened, and the guards rushed out. Behind them were hundreds and thousands of militiamen who had appeared from nowhere, armed with kitchen knives and wooden clubs.

  Everyone shouted loudly and rushed towards the defeated pirates with great enthusiasm, giving Ye Feng a feeling that it was like the aunties were participating in a department store's limited-time discount activity.

  It's also no big deal, because by this time, if they still don't know to come out and take advantage of the situation, then even pigs would look down on them.

  Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, and only then did he realize that his entire body was also drenched in sweat. He gently nudged the stirrups with his feet, and the warhorse, as if understanding human nature, slowly walked down from the mountain ridge, heading towards the city gate.

  Whether the fleeing pirates or the chasing soldiers, as soon as they saw him, they avoided him like a plague god. There was no one within tens of meters around him.

  A group of soldiers, led by General Lei and others, walked over to Ye Feng, their faces filled with shock and unease as they gazed at the knight who was covered in blood from head to toe, his appearance like that of someone who had crawled out of a bloody pool from the depths of hell.

  Seeing the other's slightly fearful gaze, Ye Feng finally came to his senses. He slowly took off his helmet and mask, revealing his true face, and the crowd was in an uproar.

  Diana and Nina both took two steps forward at the same time, saw each other's identical movements, and simultaneously stopped. They stared at each other in embarrassment, the atmosphere was very awkward.

  Luckily at this moment, Ouyang shouted and rushed over, dissolving the subtle atmosphere between the two.

  Ye Feng burst out laughing and jumped off his horse, lifting Oola high into the air.

  "Hurrah, hurrah......" The crowd raised their weapons in hand and cheered loudly. At this moment, all words seemed pale and powerless, only loud shouting could express the emotions after their victory.

  The cheers rose like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the other, echoing across the land.

  A loud bugle call sounded.

  As the crowd turned to look, the navy's tall three-masted warships were slowly entering the harbor. On the bow of the leading flagship stood a slender middle-aged man in magnificent attire.

  "Is... is it Duke-sama?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

  ……………

  Signed works, everyone can rest assured to collect, and there will be more wonderful ones in the future.
