Chapter 283
Chapter 283: Coolly composed
Before Han Shuo’s arrival at the Northern Guards, thunder archmage Killua had been the leader of the Northern Guards magic corps. However, due to Han Shuo’s appearance, he could only take Han Shuo’s orders now.
Killua had originally been a bit reluctant, but after Boris spoke a few words to him, he immediately understood that Han Shuo only come to the Northern Guards to gain some military achievements, and that the magic corps of Northern Guards would be just a jumping board for Han Shuo. After that, not only did that remove any complaint he might have had, he would even intentionally curry Han Shuo’s favor in hope of a little bit of help when Han Shuo became successful.
“Be careful, they have twenty something people and they’re all pretty strong!” Han Shuo said quietly when he returned to Emily’s side after giving his orders.
“I understand, what do you think we should do?” Emily nodded in reply, then asked for Han Shuo’s opinion.
“When the hundred knights surround this area, immediately use magic to destroy all obstacles. Capture the experts if you can, otherwise, it’s fine if you kill all of them. As long as we can find the blueprints, we’ve essentially finished this mission!” Han Shuo thought about it and said quietly.
“We’ll do as you say. Those Northern Guards seem to trust you very much. You have to command them well, so that they don’t mess up!” Emily said docilely in front of Han Shuo, she had already become used to having him in charge.
“Then alright, pay attention to Yoland, don’t let him escape!” Han Shuo replied before slowly floating into the air.
Han Shuo quickly passed through the knights and mages like a ghost. Using the three hundred and sixty degree surveillance of the three yin demons, Han Shuo continuously gave orders to the surrounding knights. He had them discard their horses and hide in the surroundings. The contingent of knights slowly surrounded the other party, keeping a hundred and fifty meter buffer.
Han Shuo stood proudly in the sky and calmly commanded the knights and mages of the Northern Guards. He made sure to put suitable men in every location. In the meantime, everyone lowered their voices and quietly approached the dirty and broken down building.
Han Shuo could determine that these people were all death sworn from their reactions and strength. They probably hadn’t had any thoughts of surviving after entering the Lancelot Empire. It was an unrealistic notion to capture these people alive. Thus, after a bit of hesitation, Han Shuo suddenly commanded, “Everyone, don’t hold back any longer, just kill them all!”
“Brothers, rush out with all your might. Even if you can’t, you have to bring several of them down with you!” shouted Yoland after hearing Han Shuo’s merciless orders,
“You have no more chances!” Emily’s cold voice sounded as she glared at Yoland from her black robes, “The technicians in the military factory were all helpless civilians. All of them were killed savagely. You guys truly do deserve to die today!”
“Haha, since they were not people from my empire, so what if they died!” Yoland laughed maniacally as he raised a huge broadsword and rode atop of his tattooed beast. He dashed directly towards Emily. “Woman, are you stop me by yourself?”
“Foolish!” Han Shuo’s thick murderous aura spread out with lightning speed before Emily could chant a spell. The Demonslayer Edge shone with crimson light as the blood red sword aura cleaved down towards Yoland from the sky with unparalleled ferociousness.
Yoland had been dashing towards Emily and hadn’t thought that Han Shuo would suddenly attack like this, not to mention from above. Although he had the strength of a sky rider, he still found it a bit difficult to face this sort of sudden attack. The broadsword that he was holding horizontally had to quickly rise to meet the Demonslayer Edge attacking down from above his head.
Clang!
Sparks exploded everywhere and a clear crack appeared in Yoland’s broadsword. He snorted as his shoulder trembled, while the four short legs of the tattooed beast underneath him snapped, unable to withstand the force. The tattooed beast fell onto the floor as its wolf-like head continuously spat out blood.
“Haha, don’t think of obtaining the blueprints even if you kill me. All of the technicians were killed, you won’t be able to create the war chariots without the blueprints!” Yoland looked tragically at the tattooed beast underneath him first before laughing savagely with a grimace. Since he had no way of attacking Han Shuo in the sky, he could only sprint quickly towards Emily.
“Isn’t it just hidden in the gap in the walls? What’s so hard to find about that!” Han Shuo said with contempt. Han Shuo ignored Yoland as the latter’s expression drastically changed and dashed towards the room the targets had originally been hiding in with lightning speed.
