"Black Wind Thieves? What is their background?" Yang Feng frowned slightly and followed the butler, Liu, towards the castle's wall.
The butler then began to explain the background of the Black Wind Thieves in detail to Yang Feng.
The Black Wind Thieves were a band of thieves active near Boulder City, entirely composed of cavalry. They moved swiftly and were extremely cunning, raiding caravans and villages everywhere.
Boulder City had sent out troops several times to suppress them, but each time they were defeated by the Black Wind Thieves. After several failures, everyone learned that the leader of the Black Wind Thieves, Baru, was a terrifying strongman with the strength of a knight.
A knight is a title given to a powerful individual who has broken through the limits of a human body by practicing knightly secret techniques. An ordinary knight could easily wield weapons weighing 200 kilograms and, when wearing full-body knight armor, would be like an invincible tank, unmatched in combat.
In the town of Red Leaf, there was not a single knight-level strongman among the hundreds of people.
The strongest warrior in Red Leaf Castle was the guard commander, Zhao En, who was merely a mid-level warrior. Without the protection of the city walls, a knight could easily kill everyone in Red Leaf Castle.
Generally, strongmen with knight-level cultivation would be recruited by the major nobles. However, some knights, for various reasons, fell into becoming thieves and criminals. These fallen knights were undoubtedly the most terrifying existence.
As Liu the butler described the terrifying nature of the Black Wind Thieves to Yang Feng, he secretly glanced at the four burly bodyguards standing beside Yang Feng, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Red Leaf Town was a small, isolated town, and the arrival of strangers would certainly cause a significant stir. Yang Feng had four distinctive, burly bodyguards with him after his trip, which made Liu the butler suspicious. However, Liu also knew that it was a dangerous time and did not ask any inappropriate questions.
As soon as Yang Feng reached the top of the wall, he saw over a hundred cavalrymen dressed in black cloaks, riding fine warhorses, and fully armed, galloping towards them.
At the head of the cavalry, a warrior clad in full knight armor, riding a warhorse, exuded a powerful aura, like a tank.
Yang Feng looked around the wall.
On the wall, there were thirty-six warriors, including ten archers, eight初级 warriors, and only one mid-level warrior, the guard commander Zhao En.
This force was sufficient to maintain the peace in Red Leaf Town, but to deal with the Black Wind Thieves, who had a knight, it was like hitting a stone with an egg, a dream of a fool.
The warriors on the wall, seeing the approaching Black Wind Thieves, all had pale faces, and some even trembled, their hands shaking as they held their weapons. If not for the six-meter-high wall, these warriors would have already lost their morale and been unable to fight.
All the warriors in Red Leaf Castle had only experienced maintaining the peace and could not be compared to the Black Wind Thieves, who had experienced countless life-and-death battles. Each member of the Black Wind Thieves was a low-level warrior, but they were low-level warriors who had experienced countless battles. In a one-on-one fight, even the strongest Zhao En in Red Leaf Town might not be able to kill a Black Wind Thieves warrior.
The over a hundred Black Wind Thieves, like a whirlwind, quickly arrived at Red Leaf Castle.
Baru, clad in full black knight armor, easily dismounted his horse and, through the gaps in his helmet, coldly looked at Red Leaf Castle.
The over a hundred members of the Black Wind Thieves also dismounted their horses with great skill and stood behind Baru, looking at Red Leaf Castle with mocking expressions.
Without any unnecessary words, Baru drew a huge knight's greatsword from his back and strode towards Red Leaf Castle.
Behind Baru, the hundred Black Wind Thieves followed, charging towards Red Leaf Castle.
"Fire! Fire! Kill him! Kill Baru!" Zhao En, pale-faced, shouted loudly.
The ten archers on the wall desperately shot at Baru.
Ten arrows immediately rained down on Baru.
The ten archers were clearly not well-trained, and nine of the ten arrows missed, with only one hitting Baru's shoulder and being deflected.
Baru continued to charge towards Red Leaf Castle like a terrifying tank, completely unaffected.
Seeing this, all the warriors on the wall were terrified, and their morale plummeted. The second round of arrows did not even graze Baru.
"Amazing! This is a heavy knight, indeed powerful!" Yang Feng, watching Baru charge through the rain of arrows, had a look of admiration in his eyes.
In a few breaths, Baru arrived directly at the base of Red Leaf Castle's wall. He suddenly burst with a terrifying aura, leaped up with a powerful kick, and cleared the six-meter-high wall, landing on the wall. With a single swing of his sword, he cut a warrior in half at the waist, blood splattering and organs spilling.
The Red Leaf Castle warriors on the wall, who had never experienced bloody battles, saw this terrifying scene and immediately lost their morale, scattering in all directions.
"Baru! Baru!!"
"Baru! Baru!"
"..."
Below the wall, the members of the Black Wind Thieves raised their weapons and cheered wildly and excitedly.
Baru coldly scanned the scattered Red Leaf Castle warriors, waved his hand, and ropes were thrown down from the wall.
The Black Wind Thieves below quickly grabbed the ropes and climbed up with great agility.
Liu the butler, trembling, looked at Baru, who seemed like a god of death, and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, let's escape!!"
"No matter how high your martial arts, a single shot can bring you down! A mere knight, in the face of guns, is just a piece of trash!" Yang Feng smiled coldly, drew a 9mm pistol from his waist, aimed at Baru, and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The reckless Baru was hit by six bullets. The 9mm large-caliber bullets penetrated Baru's knight armor, creating six bloody holes in his body, blood gushing out.
"You actually injured me!! Damn yellow-skinned bastard! You dare to harm the great Knight Baru! I will crush your bones inch by inch and feed you to the dogs!"
Baru, hit by six bullets, had bloodshot eyes, filled with boundless ferocity. With a roar, he burst with a terrifying force, and the six bloodied bullets were forcibly ejected from his body.
