Fragments, gravel, and wooden blocks fell to the ground.
Kang De carried the princess to the ground.
With the strength of his current body, this drop was already nothing. Moreover, with the strengthening of the strength potion, Head Maid Bedolla and Cleveland had also landed beside him.
Kang De looked up and his heart sank.
There was a large flower bed and grass in front of the main building of the Glory Sand Manor. The professional soldiers he had seen in the day were already waiting in formation. They surrounded the group on both sides, and at the end of the straight road of the manor were more than ten cavalrymen.
The knights he had seen during the day did not appear at the banquet. Instead, they appeared in the midst of the killing intent. These knights had excellent weapons and good training. Their warhorses were strong. Once they flew, they could destroy everything easily. They were the most terrifying power in the era of cold weapons.
The person leading the team was Knight Glenn.
Kang De could see his expression. It was cruel, teasing, and filled with bloodthirsty pleasure.
They were surrounded.
Tina looked up in disbelief.
She looked at Viscount Samuel, who had appeared through the crack in the window.
She muttered, “Uncle Samuel, why…”
“Tina, Tina.”
Viscount Samuel held a sword and sighed, “I’m sorry. I wanted to resolve this matter peacefully. There’s no need to bleed or die, but it’s all my fault for having a daughter who made decisions on her own…”
He looked at Kang De, “This Cathayan is not mediocre.”
“Hannah…” Tina’s face was pale and shocked. She could not believe all of this and shouted, “Uncle Samuel, why? No matter who you have an agreement with, no matter what you want to do, didn’t I tell you about that matter? What happened to the Curtain is true! How can you…”
“Tina.” Viscount Samuel sighed. “On account of the fact that you still call me uncle, let me teach you something. You’re very smart and intelligent, but you’re still too naive. This is not your fault, because politics is dirty. It’s something a little girl like you doesn’t understand. Let me teach you a lesson.”
“It’s true that you brought news of the Curtain. I believe that’s true too.”
“But that was only a warning, a possible threat, not something that had already happened, right? Then, let me tell you what politics is.”
The Viscount slowly said, “The so-called politics is that unless the Curtain Invasion has already happened and ruined the world, devouring countless living beings, destroying the rulers and country, and causing countless noble people to die, it’s possible for the various races of the continent to unite again! Otherwise, the war will still continue and not change their will with this small piece of news. Goethe’s fate has already been decided. It’s not something an innocent girl like you can change!”
He slowed down his tone and said indifferently, “A girl like you shouldn’t have to bear such a fate. Fortunately, a big shot has taken a fancy to you. Even if the country falls, you can live a rich life… Therefore, give up resisting, Tina. I can guarantee your safety.”
Tina said firmly, “Never!”
“Tina, why do you have to do this?
Another window was pushed open and Viscount Samuel’s children appeared by the window. Hannah’s expression was still so sad and shy. She said, “You don’t have a way out anymore. It’s useless to resist. If you surrender, we’ll guarantee your safety. If you don’t, your friends will suffer…”
She said sadly, “Just like Captain Oswald and the others…”
There was a commotion in the annex building. The guards dragged the Goethe sailors out. The majestic Goethe men lay on the ground dispirited. Their limbs were weak, their faces were pale, and there were bloodstains on their bodies. Their legs kept twitching.
“Hannah!”
The princess’s nails dug into the flesh. She said sternly, “What did you do to them?”
Hannah looked horrified and shrank back.
Then, she stopped acting.
The woman chuckled, “I was afraid that they’re not used to the food of Glory Sand, so I added some ingredients to them. These gentlemen of Goethe are very cooperative, unlike someone who’s mischievous and picky…”
She smiled at Kang De and even winked.
Kang De said coldly, “B*tch—”
He looked around and thought of a way to escape.
After discovering that the wine was poisonous, he did not waste a second. He had already planned it well and quietly left the Glory Sand Castle with Tina and the others. As long as he came to an empty space, he would return to Earth and go to the street to carry a car back. Before the Goode family could react, he would drive far away and let these idiots eat the exhaust gas.
However, Viscount Samuel did not waste a second.
After discovering his daughter’s arbitrary actions and hearing the butler report that Kang De had once glanced outside, he decisively activated the plan, even if it was a little rushed.
Now, they were already surrounded.
The plan to return to Earth to retrieve the car did not work. It would take at least three minutes to descend from his house, go out of the district, start the car, and bring it back. Cleveland and the others would definitely not last three minutes. Moreover, even if he brought the car back, he might not be able to leave. At that time, when the Goode family saw that he had actually done such a magical thing… it would be even more dangerous.
When Hannah heard his words, her expression froze, and then she smiled even happier, “Alright, alright. I like proud people like you, Kang De. I wonder if you’ll still be so proud and unyielding after drinking the wine carefully concocted by me?”
“You’ll never know.”
Kang De said calmly, “But you can know one thing—I want to kill your entire family.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Hannah was stunned, then burst out laughing.
“Lord Kang De, sometimes you speak arrogantly and say things that you can’t do at all. It’s very funny.”
Lynch stuck his head out and said with a smile, “No wonder Eldest Brother called you a clown. Your serious appearance is indeed very similar to a clown. I like it very much.”
“I’ve always wanted a servant from Cathay, but unfortunately, Father refused to give me Hong San. Do you want to serve me? As long as you make me happy every day, I won’t let Sister bully you. How about it?”
Before Kang De could speak, Knight Lost, who had been standing proudly behind the siblings, said indifferently, “Little brother, this clown has very hard bones. If you want him to be a slave, you have to break his bones first. He’s like a wild dog that can be raised, but if you want to raise him, you have to tame him well.”
Lynch’s expression was innocent. “Then, Brother, what should I do?”
Lost said indifferently, “I can teach you. You’re young, so you can take your time to learn.”
The viscount’s family stood high on the third floor and looked down at the prey in the cage. They commented on them like spectators sitting in the VIP room of the Bestial Battle Arena.
Viscount Samuel did not speak either.
As nobles, they knew the technique of hunting very well. When they completed the encirclement and victory was in their grasp, they did not attack casually. Instead, they slowly wore down the fighting spirit and courage of their prey.
It would continue until the other party completely collapsed.
Hannah suddenly said, “I’ve thought of a good idea!”
She took out a small bone flute and blew it. After only blowing two syllables, the Goethe sailors who had been lying on the ground and could not move screamed and struggled.
Hannah stopped playing and shouted, “Does it hurt? There’s a way not to hurt. I know you’re loyal to Goethe, so I won’t force you, but this Cathayan has nothing to do with you. If you go forward now and take him down, I won’t play the flute anymore and will remove the poison in your bodies. Otherwise…”
She bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she threatened, “Your intestines will rot and you’ll die!”
“Interesting.”
Lost waved his hand.
The sailors were picked up, their faces filled with pain and… fear.
They looked at Kang De with complicated expressions.
He subconsciously took a step back.
They had been poisoned during the banquet just now… Moreover, they had endured unimaginable pain and torture. This torture was enough to destroy the will of the bravest.
Kang De looked at these sailors with a gloomy expression.
With Captain Oswald in the lead, he knew most of these sailors. They chatted, bragged, and told jokes together. Along the way, they got along very well.
But now…
He could not wait any longer.
His right hand touched the handle of the axe beside him and whispered, “Follow me later…”
At this moment, the knight stood in front of Kang De and faced the remaining Goethe sailors.
This was what the Goode family was happy to see. They smiled as if they were watching a show.
Captain Oswald slowly walked in Kang De’s direction. The sailors dragged their feet, terrified, struggling, and hesitant. Their mortal bodies were tortured by the dilemma.
Cleveland slowly drew his sword.
The Goethe sailors were unarmed.
Oswald stopped and whispered, “Are you ready?”
The sailors were stunned, then slowly nodded.
Cleveland moved.
He reached out and threw the sword in his hand to Captain Oswald.
The captain received the sword.
He shouted and swept his sword. The surrounding Goethe sailors were stabbed in the neck. Blood shot into the sky. They did not dodge or stop him. They stretched out their necks and let the captain kill them. Oswald swept through like a whirlwind and killed the dozen or so Goethe sailors present.
The light of the battle aura was dyed red.
“May the Sea God forgive my sins just this once. The weapons of the Goethe people will definitely not be aimed at their friends.”
In a flash, the captain continued to swing his sword, killing the stunned guard and snatching his sword. He threw the knight’s sword back and roared as he rushed towards Hannah on the third floor like a cannonball.
The sudden situation shocked everyone present.
Tina shouted, “No!”
The knight took the sword and said sternly, “Let’s go!”
Kang De’s body trembled slightly. He looked at the captain who soared into the sky. He was not familiar with this Goethe person, and their usual conversation was polite and polite.
However, today, he would forever remember this person.
He said that the Goethe’s weapons were definitely not aimed at their friends.
Kang De said sternly, “Let’s go!”
He stepped forward and rushed towards the straight road, rushing towards the team of knights guarding the main door.
The captain’s sword slashed at the window on the third floor.
Knight Lost said indifferently, “That’s right.”
He attacked and his battle aura erupted, colliding with the captain’s sword. The above attack had already gained the upper hand.
The captain was struck and smashed to the ground. He wanted to jump again, but the wind rustled in the sky. Lost descended from the sky and slashed down.
The captain raised his sword to block and was knocked back three steps. He urged his battle aura and wanted to swing his sword again. Hannah blew the bone flute, and Oswald roared in pain, his eyes red. Lost swung his sword and attacked quickly. He knocked away the captain’s sword and then cut off his head.
“Pointless bravery is like a praying mantis waving its knife arm at a lion.”
Lost shook off the blood on his sword and raised his voice, “Other than the princess, everyone else is fine as long as they’re alive.”
As the eldest son of Glory Sand and the Eldest Prince’s squire, he disdained to participate in such a boring battle.
Otherwise, why would he raise these knights?
The ground shook. The knights urged their horses to speed up. It was Glenn in the lead.
The soldiers aimed at these ridiculous lunatics.
They actually dared to clash with the cavalry.
Glenn smiled sinisterly at the running Cathayan. This lowly commoner, this lowly bastard, actually dared to humiliate him and embarrass him. Lord Lost said that as long as he was alive, it could not be better.
He wanted to break this guy’s limbs with his warhorse and pull out his tongue.
Glenn sped through the night wind. He looked at his prey. It was getting closer. He could not wait to hear the scream of this Cathayan clown and…
“Get lost!”
Kang De took a deep breath and exhaled. His voice was like thunder.
The warhorses the knights rode were all good breeds. They were smart and brave and even dared to charge into the dense spear formation. Now that they had crushed a few preys, they should have succeeded, but the Cathayan only shouted. These warhorses seemed to have seen a huge dragon and cried out in surprise as they dodged and suddenly darted to the side.
The carefully arranged charging formation suddenly became chaotic. The horses jumped and ran around. The “horse disaster” of the cavalry sounded. The war horses that had been carefully nurtured either lost their footing and knelt, stood on their feet or jumped around. The front was like a ravine. They were unwilling to take another step forward. The knights were either thrown to the ground or shaken until they could not maintain their balance. No matter how they shouted and comforted them, the horses refused to stop.
Kang De did not stop.
He had already chosen his goal.
“Grab the horse!”
He shouted and the fire axe that had been accumulating strength for a long time flew out. A knight was desperately comforting the horses that were standing up when he suddenly heard the wind. He looked up and the axe cut into his head.
Kang De flew over, grabbed the handle of the axe, and pulled hard. His brain, eyeballs, and flesh stuck to the blade and were directly pulled out. His expression did not change as he pulled the knight down. “Come here!”
Head Maid Bedolla was sprinting with the princess on her back and could not free herself. Seeing this, she immediately jumped onto the horse and picked up the knight’s sword. Cleveland also snatched a horse. “Kang De!”
Kang De held the axe in one hand and pulled out his gun with his right hand. He raised the gun and fired. Flames flashed. With three explosions, within ten steps, the heads of the three knights who were pressed under the horse and struggling to get up exploded with blood before falling to the ground. This huge sound and flames also attracted the attention of the Goode family on the main floor.
Kang De searched for his target and wanted to kill again. Cleveland rode over and shouted, “Kang De!”
This call woke him up. This was not a place to stay for long. Kang De grabbed the knight’s armor and flipped onto his horse. He shouted, “Let’s go!”
The horse neighed. There was no need to urge it. It spread its hooves and ran out of the manor!
