Chapter 1534 439: Another Fate_4
Of course, it is precisely for this reason that his territory is exceptionally poor, to the point where the towering city walls don't even have a decent cannon.
Under his heroic resistance, the rebel army attacking the city finally began to waver. They looked with fear at the blood-soaked god of death, and their offensive gradually weakened.
Just as the dawn of victory appeared before them, and the Wivert family was about to establish a new legend on this land, an almost imperceptible shadow quietly slipped out from the pile of corpses beside Solde.
It was a hunched figure, even shorter than a Dwarf, so that a cloak the size of a bath towel covered his entire body.
Solde sensed the danger and instinctively turned, but the fatigue accumulated from continuous combat made him a step too slow.
A poisoned Dagger silently and precisely pierced through the joint in his right leg's armor.
"Ah—!"
Solde cried out in pain, turning back with eyes wide open.
It turned out that the attacker was not of the Human Clan but a cloaked, hunched monster!
Under the shadow of the hood, a pair of shimmering green eyes stared straight at him, the gleam on its teeth showing both excitement and fear.
"Despicable coward!"
Count Solde let out a thunderous roar and slashed backward with his sword, the boiling qi seeming to warp the very space!
The Ratman Assassin hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late. Faced with the all-out strike of a Platinum Level Knight, he couldn't even scream before being instantly slain!
Looking at the mangled remains on the ground, Solde was about to curse the wretch when his wildly beating heart suddenly clenched.
A numbing sensation spread from his leg.
Instinctively, he glanced down and saw black blood seeping from the joint in his armor pierced by the Dagger, billowing black vapor rising from it.
Feeling his Strength uncontrollably draining from his body, Solde's expression finally changed, a glimmer of solemnity flashing in his steadfast eyes.
At that momentary hesitation, a figure as burly as a bear leapt onto the city wall with heavy steps.
A visible eerie mist emanated from his mouth and nose, and a massive Beheading Knife with a chain rested on his shoulder, the blade still carrying unknown flesh and blood. His entire body was covered in ugly scars, as if he had just come from an execution ground of a thousand cuts.
Seeing the staggering Count Solde, the burly man let out a bestial, cruel grin, swinging his Beheading Knife like the wind.
"Dog of Chaos…" Count Solde propped himself up with his Longsword, trying to steady himself, but the poison had already invaded his entire body.
The burly man gave him no chance to breathe, nor did he give the Priests behind him the opportunity to Casting. Silently, he swung the Beheading Knife in his hand, the chain making a tearing sound as it shot towards the count's face!
With his right leg numb, Solde raised his Longsword to try and block, but he couldn't withstand the overwhelming strike, and he was slashed in half, along with his sword!
Blood stained the city wall.
"My Lord Count—!"
As Count Solde's body fell with a crash, the shouts of the soldiers on the city wall instantly turned into cries of despair.
Solde's eldest son, eyes filled with rage, picked up his father's Longsword and charged forward, but in just two rounds, he was smashed into a pulp by the howling Beheading Knife.
The man as sturdy as a bear grinned ferociously, carrying the blood-stained Beheading Knife on his shoulder, letting the scarlet liquid drip all over him.
"Ah Ka…the Executioner."
Facing the panic-stricken defenders, he uttered his name from his cracked lips, then rejoined the slaughter with his iron chain.
The defenders' morale plummeted.
The scales of victory had already collapsed, and today's blood-soaked epic seemed destined to be one of betrayal rather than loyalty and perseverance.
The remaining seven hundred soldiers and fifty Knights, despite their desperate resistance, were ultimately overwhelmed by the flood of Green Turbans surging onto the city wall.
Griffin Cliff Castle, ultimately fell.
...
The green banners fluttered over the blood-soaked castle.
Tens of thousands of rebels surged into the castle, unleashing their unvented fury on those who survived.
Including the servants and maids in the castle, the Priests and Nuns hiding in the cellar, as well as those who took refuge in the castle for various reasons.
Ah Ka did not stop his subordinates and even participated in their games, adding a bloody joy to them.
The only pity was that Solde's two sons had already died in battle, and his wife had taken poisoned wine with their young daughter.
Together with the Knights who defended to the last moment in the castle, their Souls rose to Saint Sis's Holy Hall after their deaths.
Even if Undead Magic could make them stand up, they would be soulless husks, mere sacks of flesh.
After tiring of the game, Ah Ka hung the bodies on the city wall, forcing them to watch as their castle was desecrated.
He had no grudge against the Wivert family.
He did it purely for the thrill, and the God behind him would enjoy it too, granting him more Strength.
The "banquet" lasted until noon the next day when Ah Ka, estimating it was enough, ordered his men to kill the remaining survivors.
The courtyard of the castle was a river of blood, the stench of the corpses and the calls of crows declaring the complete demise of a historic family.
From then on, the notoriety of the "Executioner" would surely leave a terrifying chapter in the epics of the Ryan Kingdom.
