Chapter 53: Stronghold

The city of Winter is very restless tonight.

At the Marquis Umas's residence, the sound of a banquet could be heard, disturbing people's hearts.

But not long after, the residents of the city suddenly discovered that there was a burst of neat and loud footsteps coming, the sound of armor and weapons colliding with each other was rapid and loud, and on the streets, the sound of thundering horse hooves trampled past, and the sturdy knights were covered in steel armor, exhaling streams of hot air from their mouths and noses.

"What happened?"

"I do not know..."

"Come and take a look."

Some people talked in low voices, then mustered up the courage to open the door, and then they saw soldiers pouring out, gathering and rushing towards a location outside the city.

The starting point of everything is the residence of Marquis Umas.

"Something's going to happen, something's going to happen..."

Some well-informed residents knew something about the situation. They quickly closed the door, leaned against it, looked nervous, and breathed heavily with lingering fear.

Everyone knows that something big is going to happen this night!

Morin rode on a sturdy black warhorse, his body was not moving at all. He was wearing simple leather armor, and there were little torches beside him, casting a faint flame. Morin's face was very calm. He turned his head and looked at the Marquis Umas next to him, and said, "Umas, how far is it?"

"We're almost there, the stronghold of Feren is not far ahead!"

Umas wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face showing an unconcealable excitement.

By now, the Marquis has figured out that he will have to face Feren and the mysterious man sooner or later. Instead of stalling for time, it would be better to attack directly now. This way, he would catch the enemy by surprise and have a greater effect.

A few hours later, Morin and his friends appeared outside a castle.

The people in the castle had tried their best to discover these uninvited guests and were shouting loudly, trying to defend themselves, but there was chaos inside.

"Go!"

Marquis Umas raised his broadsword and let out a loud roar.

Suddenly, the soldiers roared and rushed forward continuously. Archers were shooting arrows, and the arrows cut through the air with a whistling sound. Sharp arrows were shot near the castle, making the soldiers of Furen scream and be nailed to death in front in pain.

But before long, the situation in the castle gradually stabilized, and the soldiers inside began to fight back against the Marquis' soldiers. The two sides fought back and forth, and gradually there were casualties.

"ah!"

"Ahhh!"

"Help, help me...ah!"

Suddenly, the soldiers' terrified shouts were heard. Morin looked over and found a young man in a blue silk robe appeared near the entrance of the castle. He looked around with a smile on his face, and tiny wind blades kept appearing in his hands, which he quickly released, killing the nearby soldiers easily.

The Marquis' soldiers looked at the young man, retreating continuously with a look of fear on their faces.

"Kane."

Maureen said softly.

There is no doubt that the young man is Kane, the mysterious man beside Viscount Feren.

Morin grabbed the horse's reins and suddenly swung them hard. The warhorse, in pain, immediately accelerated and rushed towards Kane.

Just when Kane discovered the galloping warhorse, Morin suddenly moved his body, jumped directly towards the warhorse, raised the cross sword high, and slashed heavily at Kane.

call out!

The cross sword flashed with cold light and made a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"You're really looking for death." Kane also noticed Morin. He sneered, opened his palm, and a huge light blue wind blade appeared on his palm.

With a whoosh, a light green wind blade flashed and appeared in front of Morin's chest almost in an instant, as if it was going to kill Morin instantly.

"Do you think I just rushed up here stupidly? That's ridiculous."

Morin curled the corner of his mouth, and a faint red light suddenly flashed in front of his chest. The huge light blue wind blade made a sharp crackling sound in front of the red light, but it did not last long and slowly dissipated.

However, Morin's sword slashed down without any hindrance.

"What!"

Kane's eyes widened.

boom!

Kane was like a cannonball, spitting blood from his mouth. He crashed heavily into the city wall, making a loud noise.

"Kane, I know you. So, let's just get to know each other." Morin looked at the dust flying around in front of him, and Kane who kept coughing and staggering to his feet. He curled his lips and said, "I am Morin."

He seriously injured Kane in an instant. It seemed easy, but in fact, it was not that simple.

"Ding! The energy of the Blood of Thorns is consumed!"

"The energy consumption of the Thorn Blood Seal, then, it seems that Kane's wind blade witchcraft attack just now was at least 6 degrees." Morin thought silently, and made an assessment of Kane's attack just now in his heart.

"You could actually seriously injure Kane?" At the gate of the castle, a tall and handsome young man looked at Morin with disbelief in his eyes.

"Ferren?"

Morin looked at the young man and tilted his head slightly.

"Yes, I am Feren." The tall and handsome young man took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Mysterious One, you are very powerful. Please join me. Together we can overthrow Marquis Umas, and you can get everything you want!"

Morin glanced at Ferran and slowly raised his hand.

"Hey, young mystic, you know, I am not rebelling against Umas for myself, but for the people of the entire fiefdom. Umas is a devil. He has done many evil things. He..." Feren looked at Morin and kept persuading Morin with a sincere attitude.

"Simmons-Sado!"

Maureen uttered a witchcraft spell.

boom!

A flaming fireball shot out from his hand and hit Feren, causing him to explode into endless pieces of flesh and ashes.

Morin glanced at the place where Ferran had just stood, then looked ahead and continued to chant the spell.

"Amra-kes!"

"Simmons-Sado!"

Explosive fireballs and acid missiles kept appearing and bombarded Kane who was barely standing up in front of him. It was a crazy attack. After all, at this time, of course, the goal was to take the opportunity to kill Kane instead of giving him a chance to rest and recover.

As Maureen's witchcraft was released, Kane, who had already stood up, gradually shouted and staggered, and was about to disappear under the light of the fire.

Suddenly, Kane's body shook and rushed towards the forest next to him. His speed was very fast, at least twice as fast.

"Ding! The target's speed increased, and his body functions recovered in a short period of time. He seems to have taken a blood-boosting potion!"

The sound of the chip came over.

"You want to use the blood-boosting potion to recover in a short time and then escape?" Morin laughed, but the smile on his face was very cold. He said, "You think I will be defenseless? How ridiculous!"

"Hand of negative energy!"

Maureen growled.

Kane, who was running non-stop, suddenly let out a loud scream. In the darkness in front of him, a hand that seemed to melt in the shadows appeared and grabbed his calf heavily. Immediately, green smoke rose. Kane's calf was corroded for more than half, revealing a black wound on the flesh.

But Kane did not dare to stop. He endured the severe pain in his feet and ran desperately towards the woods ahead.

"Can you still run?" Morin frowned.

But it doesn't matter, Kane can't escape.

"I'm going to go after Kane, Umas, I'll leave this place to you."

Morin glanced at Umas, who had a dazed look on his face, and rushed towards Kane's identity.

Morin was not worried at all about what would happen next. Kane and Feren were both dead anyway, and without a leader, it would be easy for Marquis Umas to handle the situation.

The mountain roads were rugged and the forests were dense, constantly blocking the way and making it very difficult to pursue.

But for Morin, everything was very easy. He walked lightly, using the chip to sense the dangers around him while his body leaped forward quickly.

"Patton, Patton..."

Kane appeared outside a cave and shouted into the cave, sounding anxious.

Soon, a handsome young man in a moon-white silk robe walked out of the cave. He looked at Kane in front of him, frowned, and said, "Kane, didn't I ask you to help the noble named Feren on the surface, and then ask him to send a living person to me? It's not time yet, why are you..."

"Patton, help me, someone is trying to kill me!"

Kane staggered as he ran, his voice revealing panic and fear.

Patton was about to say something, but suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from the forest.

call out!

A silver cross sword shot out, causing Kane's body to fly up, and he was nailed to the trunk of a big tree.

Morin walked out of the forest, drew his cross sword, looked at the gloomy Patton, and said in surprise, "You are Kane's accomplice, right? I didn't expect that there would be one of you?"
