The Moqiu State soldiers seemed to have never thought that Phoenix City Pass users could break through in this direction. After all, they were backed by the vast world, so why couldn't they just charge through on their own?
Kong Sheng was betting on his opponent's mentality.
Over a hundred light cavalry soldiers, under the cover of the night, were like black clouds flying past the tents at the edge of the Moqiu State army formation. Some of them were jolted awake and stuck their heads out to see. In the end, a steel spear had pierced through their chests and even their heads, and with a thump, they fell to the ground, dead. On the other hand, those who were sleeping soundly had luckily escaped death. However, this calamity was not that easy to avoid. In order to block the pursuers, the knights at the back of the hall used their spears to pick up the brazier lighting from the tents and used their flames to cause some trouble for the enemies.
The night sentries were unlucky, too. From the moment they saw the enemy cavalry invading to the moment they issued their warning, the horses were even faster. He touched the whistle when he saw the other party. By the time the whistle was in his mouth, the other party was already in front of him. By the time the whistle was blown, all that could be seen was the other party's horse butt.
The two wings of the Moqiu State were in chaos, and Chen Chu were caught off guard, and more importantly, they were underestimating their own enemies. Fortunately, the two of them did not have the intention to stay and fight. Otherwise, they would not have lost so little over a hundred men.
Kong Sheng's body was pressed tightly onto the horse's back, his left hand held onto the reins, while his right hand held onto the long blade. His eyes followed the horse's neck and continuously adjusted the direction he should go. Along the way, he rushed out of Moqiu Army Camp, not daring to stay at all, and flew towards the north under the cover of night.
Kong Sheng's target was Blue Moon Pass at the west side. After half a day, he only had half a day, so he had to rush to Blue Moon Pass before daybreak. If the Blue Moon Pass were to be occupied, when day broke, when the Demon Army in the fortress found out that they had come for a surprise attack, they would launch a pincer attack against the Demon Army in the encirclement.
Therefore, Kong Sheng had to be fast, so fast that the enemy could not react.
When the first ray of sunlight shone onto the city walls of Blue Moon Pass, Kong Sheng led his hundred over Knights into the city.
The current Blue Moon Pass was not surrounded, nor was it occupied. There were no Devil Kingdom Soldier s to be seen, no Fire Phoenix soldiers to be seen, and not even a single citizen of the Blue Moon Pass or merchants to be seen.
Riding slowly in a city where no one was in Blue Moon Pass, Kong Sheng's heart was filled with shock. The inside of the city was covered with blood, the broken doors, windows, and chairs proving that a fierce battle had happened here, but there were no limbs or corpses, as though after the soldiers and citizens of Blue Moon Pass had fought a desperate battle with the enemy, only their own blood was left, and their own lives and bodies had evaporated along with it. Not a single trace of blood was left for Kong Sheng and the others.
"Old Kong, something doesn't seem right." Zhao Handong, who had taken the initiative to request a Red Camp guide for Kong Sheng, came over and said.
"Nonsense!" Kong Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What I mean is, this doesn't seem like the doing of demon bastards."
Kong Sheng nodded his head lightly. What Zhao Handong said was not wrong. Although the Fire Phoenix Country of Black Hill Village and the Fire Phoenix Country fought nonstop on a daily basis and their soldiers fought to the death on the battlefield, to be honest, the soldiers of Moqiu State were never this brutal outside of the battlefield. Sometimes, the merchants of Fire Phoenix Nation would head towards the Moqiu State Trade Area. If any accidents were to happen on the road, not only would the soldiers of Moqiu State help, they would even escort them back to the corner of the horse path. As for the soldiers that were caught in the battle, neither side treated them maliciously. Most of them would only stay in place for a period of time before letting them go.
Kong Sheng and Zhao Handong both viewed Moqiu State as an enemy and an opponent, but they had never considered it to be related to Tu Cheng's executioner. So when Zhao Handong said that this matter was not like the Devil Kingdom Soldier doing it for him, Kong Sheng expressed his agreement.
But if the Blue Moon Pass in front of them wasn't caused by the Devil Kingdom, then who was the one who committed such a beast in the Blue Moon Pass? Immediately after, Kong Sheng thought of another terrifying question. Since Blue Moon Pass were already like this, what about Liehyang Pass?
"There isn't much blood, it's more like these people were kidnapped than slaughtered." After hearing the reports from the soldiers, Zhao Handong turned to Kong Sheng and said.
Kong Sheng frowned, and instructed: "Let the brothers search more carefully, maybe they will be locked up somewhere, and pay more attention to places like Castellan Mansion."
Zhao Handong slowly nodded his head. He understood the second half of Kong Sheng's sentence that he had not said.
Kong Sheng brought along Zhao Handong and gave the horse to a cavalry leader. A few of them held onto knives as they walked along the city wall slowly, no one said a word, the atmosphere was a little tense. According to their original plans, they should be heading towards the Liehyang Pass by now. Firstly, to work together, and secondly, to understand the situation of their Liehyang Pass in time so that they could come up with a response. Kong Sheng forced everyone to search the city, hoping to find a few survivors or corpses.
Kong Sheng stopped at an intersection and looked around. This Blue Moon Pass was a dead city, and other than the sounds of the armor made by the other knights, the entire city was completely silent.
Zhao Handong took out a cigarette pouch from his waist, pressed down the tobacco leaves, and lit it with a flint. Before he could swallow the first mouthful of smoke, a flopping sound suddenly came from a room five steps away from him, and a black shadow jumped out from the half-closed door.
Zhao Handong was a veteran, his martial arts skills might not be exceptional, but his ability to react in battle was definitely top-notch. He quickly sat back and threw out the pipe in his right hand. The copper smoke pot shot out like a meteor and struck the black shadow with a loud 'pa'. "He already had a lot of strength, so he had to use all his strength to push the shadow down to the ground without making a sound.
After Zhao Handong threw out the tobacco pouch, he twisted his waist with force and immediately started rolling around. As he rolled, he had already pulled out the knife from his waist, and just as the black figure landed on the ground, he swung the blade forward. Zhao Handong's actions were as quick as flint. Before anyone could react, he had already cut the black shadow into two.
"What is this?" Zhao Handong casually picked up the thing on the ground and repeatedly sized it up: "Is it a goose or a duck? "Why is his mouth still tied?"
Bind your mouth? Kong Sheng was startled, then suddenly shouted: "Be careful!" With that said, the blade in Kong Sheng's hand turned into a streak of white light, flying towards Zhao Handong like a dragon.
Zhao Handong was first stunned, then he subconsciously dodged to the side, just in time to let Kong Sheng's blade pass through his waist.
The sabre made a loud sound as it stabbed into the door frame. In the next moment, a worn-out wooden sabre came out from the door and directly slashed at the sabre, producing a crisp dang dang sound.
Zhao Handong was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. If Kong Sheng had not thrown his long blade over to protect himself, the wood knife would have hit his back!
At the same time, Kong Sheng had already snatched the sword of a knight, both he and his blade rushed to Zhao Handong's front, with a flick of his wrist, his long blade had already entered the door, followed by a furious shout: "Come out!"
The door was slowly opened, and light shone into the room. Zhao Handong finally saw clearly that the person held in place by Kong Sheng's long blade was actually a youth who was only about ten years old.
The youth's clothes were tattered and his face was covered in dust. An indescribable stench was emanating from his body. It was a kind of gaze that lost all life and was full of the will to die. Other than on the Devil Kingdom Soldier who was on the verge of death, it had been a long time since Kong Sheng had seen such a gaze.
"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate us? Also, where did all the people from Blue Moon Pass go? " Kong Sheng asked harshly as the tip of his blade stably stopped a few centimeters away from the youth's neck.
The youth did not answer. After walking out of the room, he stood there in a daze, staring fixedly at Zhao Handong, as if he was regretting that he did not kill this person just now. Zhao Handong felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he ruthlessly threw the duck head to the side, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat up this youth.
Right at this moment, the sounds of horse hooves came from the distance. Three to four Knights who heard Kong Sheng's angry roar rushed over.
Seeing the few riders in red mail holding onto spears, the young man was suddenly startled, and after that, he sized Kong Sheng up carefully, and even tilted his head to look at the riders who were leading the horses, and asked hesitantly: "May I ask, Sir, are you guys Fire Phoenix Army?"
Kong Sheng frowned: "Yes, we are Fire Phoenix Army."
The youth then asked, "Then why don't you wear red armor?"
Zhao Handong shouted from the side: "Is that what you should be asking too? Could it be that you still have to report what the Fire Phoenix Army is doing to a brat like you? "
Kong Sheng looked at the young man's expression, waved his hand to stop Zhao Handong, then replied the young man in a deep voice, "We are the Red Camp s who are stationed in the Phoenix City Pass, I am the Phoenix City Pass s, the Red Camp s, the Red Camp s, and the s that carry Kong Sheng. The reason I had my Fire Phoenix Army break through the encirclement was to rescue the trapped citizens of the Blue Moon Pass army. I've already answered your question. Now, if I ask you, who are you? "
When he finally heard the answer, the young man suddenly cried out, and then kneeled on the ground, "Lord Kong! I beg you to avenge the people of Blue Moon Pass! "
Kong Sheng was shocked by the child's actions. He reached out his hands to pull the child away, "Get up first, tell me slowly what happened?"
"Promise me first, then I'll get up!" The young man sobbed as he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed over and over …
Kong Sheng took a deep breath, and said slowly, "The purpose of our trip here was to rescue the citizens and soldiers of the Blue Moon Pass. But if you keep kneeling down and kowtowing and refuse to tell me the whole story, who do you want me to take revenge on? "How do I take revenge?"
He slowly straightened his body, used his sleeve to wipe the tears and dirt on his face. Looking straight at Kong Sheng, he said to Kong Sheng with a slightly trembling voice, "Lord Kong, my surname is Ming, all the elders call me Child Ming, I am Young Dong of the Chamber of Commerce of Ming Family."
