Chapter 5

Of course, Jia Kedao probably also noticed that among this group of cavalry, only the cavalry leader had such strength. The rest of the cavalry were far inferior. Realizing this, Jia Kedao felt much more relieved.

As the wooden door was shattered by the spears, the cavalry following the leader immediately cheered and charged into the town. Victory was now in their hands, and they naturally wanted to share the spoils.

A few nervous merchants standing on the street, upon seeing the cavalry charge, were about to say something when a cold light flashed before them. In the next moment, several heads fell to the ground.

The tightly closed courtyard gates could not withstand the slashing of the sabers. A few cavalrymen kicked and slashed at the gate of a grand courtyard. Soon, the gate was broken open, and the cavalrymen entered one after another, causing a bloody massacre in the courtyard.

In the end, a few cavalrymen, either carrying chests full of wealth or struggling women, walked out of the courtyard with smug grins, their sabers dripping with fresh blood.

Cries, struggles, and screams continuously echoed over the walls, making the low-ranking infantrymen, who were only responsible for guarding, look on with envy.

There was no way around it; in the previous battle, to minimize casualties, they had not put in much effort. Therefore, during this harvest season, they had not reaped any rewards.

Of course, if they waited until the cavalry had finished looting and then went in to clean up, they might get a small share of the spoils.

After all, even in such a dilapidated town, there would not be too little wealth.

Jia Kedao was not particularly moved by the massacre and looting in the town. It was just a conflict among barbarians. After defining this battle, he prepared to leave. He was not a saint who would save everyone he saw.

Of course, this did not mean he was not a little nervous. Jia Kedao's courage was considerable in peacetime. He had no qualms about performing rituals for the dead. However, watching the cavalry burn, kill, and loot, his legs still trembled slightly.

There was no way around it; for someone who had never experienced such things, not trembling upon first seeing them would be strange.

Just as Jia Kedao was about to move to a safer location and wait for the barbarian cavalry to leave before checking on the town, a series of惨叫声 suddenly echoed from the town. A slender and slim figure darted out from a wall, and over a dozen infantrymen on guard nearby immediately surrounded her.

This was a woman fully clad in light leather armor. Although she wore a leather helmet, her curvaceous figure clearly revealed her gender.

The infantrymen's eyes nearly popped out. They had not tasted meat for months, and finding a woman in the desert was difficult. Women were always with the strong!

The sudden appearance of this woman immediately aroused their animalistic desires.

However, the woman was not about to be captured easily. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

As they closed in, the woman drew a slender sword from her back. The sword moved like a gale, and the sword shadows swept out. The two infantrymen at the front immediately dropped their spears, clutching their bleeding throats, and fell to the ground.

This scene made the infantrymen hesitate. Their fighting spirit and strength were far inferior to the cavalry. They were used to smooth sailing, so seeing a lamb suddenly turn into a tiger, some panic was inevitable.

Swish, swish, two more infantrymen clutched their throats and fell to the ground. The remaining infantrymen retreated in fear, and the slender figure took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and sprinted toward the wheat field.

"You cowards! Stop her!"

At this moment, a roar came, and several cavalrymen left outside the town quickly rushed over, closing the distance with the woman at an incredible speed.

But the town was too close to the wheat field. Soon, the woman was less than twenty meters away from the wheat field.

The cavalrymen knew that if the woman entered the wheat field, it would be several times harder to catch her.

"Throw your spears!"

On the command, the cavalrymen removed their short spears and hurled them at the sprinting figure.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, four short spears drew arcs in the air and fell toward the woman.

The cavalrymen's attack was perfectly coordinated, almost sealing off all the directions the woman could escape. Of course, if the woman dodged backward, the spears would not harm her, but then she would face the high-speed charge of the cavalry.

Even heavily armored infantrymen would find it difficult to withstand a cavalry charge without a large shield.

In short, the woman was suddenly in a desperate situation under the pursuit of the cavalry.

At this critical moment, the woman gritted her teeth, her feet never stopping. A faint white light enveloped her body, and her speed suddenly increased several times, like an arrow shooting forward.

With this burst of speed, three of the short spears fell behind her. However, the four spears were aimed so skillfully that even with a violent twist of her body, she could not avoid the last spear.

A soft thud sounded as the spear pierced her shoulder, and blood spurted out.

Hit by the spear, the woman staggered but did not fall. Instead, she sped up and dove into the wheat field, disappearing from the cavalrymen's sight.

"She got away! Quick, chase her!"

"She's injured, she won't get far. Quickly gather more men."

One of the cavalrymen took out a whistle and blew it, the sharp sound quickly spreading in all directions. The other cavalrymen spurred their horses and charged into the wheat field.

Jia Kedao, seeing the woman fall in front of him, was somewhat stunned. This woman had red hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful face, a typical European white person. Even in the 21st century on Earth, where there were many beauties, she could score 85 out of 100. Her revealing leather armor added a wild beauty, making her even more attractive.

However, after a moment, Jia Kedao decided to leave immediately. The reason was simple: he felt that trouble was about to catch up with him.

And the events that followed confirmed Jia Kedao's premonition.

"Take me with you, I am Rosanne, the daughter of the Lord of Lion City! My father will give you many gold coins!"

The injured woman, or Rosanne, grabbed Jia Kedao's leg, thwarting his attempt to leave. Hearing this, Jia Kedao's eyes lit up. The daughter of the city lord? Many gold coins? At the thought of this, Jia Kedao felt as if golden coins were falling before his eyes.
