Unknown Knight

The pursuing enemies were frightened when they saw the woman holding the giant sword in the team ahead. They had witnessed how powerful this woman with the giant sword was during the whole process of chasing them. Her sword was like a white silk thread, with broken arms and limbs flying everywhere, and her screams and cries were endless. She was like a god of death.

Although they had received a death order to kill their target, Mrs. Tsuna, at all costs, their lives were their own and no one wanted to die in vain.

Later on, whenever the woman with the giant sword came forward to block the attack, they did not dare to rush over to fight easily, because that would be tantamount to seeking death.

A small leader who was rushing in front was about to organize an attack, but when he saw that it was Sophia holding a giant sword who was responsible for the rear, he was so scared that his soul was scared to death. He called on the people around him to form a shield formation as if facing a great enemy. When he saw her rushing over with two giant swords like door panels, he exclaimed in horror:

"Hurry! If you don't want to die, hurry up and put up a shield formation for me."

Not to mention that the shield formation they formed looked quite professional and was obviously rehearsed. Their posture looked very similar to that of the territory's array infantry, and there was an obvious suspicion of stealing skills. However, they were not the same in temperament and fighting spirit.

Moreover, they came here to assassinate, so it was impossible for them to carry the broad shields used in formation, or even the giant iron-clad shields. All they carried was a light wooden shield, which was mainly used to defend against arrows. This kind of shield was no different from a paper shield in front of Sophia's demigod-like power and giant sword.

As expected, at just one encounter, the enemy's fragile shield formation was cut open by Sophia's giant sword, and she easily broke into the formation and started killing indiscriminately.

She was seen in the crowd. Every time she swung the giant sword, the white mist of the sword would bring up a bloody storm and a burst of screams like ghosts crying and wolves howling. The giant sword in her hand was like the scythe of the god of death, and no one dared to face its edge.

This caused the following pursuers to flee back to the mountain road, trying to use the rugged rocks to block the giant sword swung by Sophia. They no longer dared to come down the mountain road to the flat ground easily, but just hid behind the pile of rocks near the foot of the mountain, shooting arrows at Sophia and the people who were left behind from a distance.

The two sides were in a stalemate, but as more and more people came down from the mountain, the arrows they shot became more and more frequent. Sophia was fine, as her heavy Wootz steel armor and broad sword could effectively defend against the arrows shot by the other side. But the others who were left behind were not as lucky as her. They were shot and injured one after another, and two of them were shot and fell to the ground like hedgehogs and died.

Seeing that if this continued, all the people left behind, including herself, might die here, Sophia had to give the order to retreat.

Seeing Sophia and the others retreat, the enemies who were chasing them rushed down, rushed to the flat ground, and continued to shoot with bows and crossbows while chasing.

Seeing people around her being shot and falling to the ground, Sophia became more and more anxious. If the people responsible for covering the rear were all dead and she was the only one left, no matter how powerful she was, she would be alone and could not stop the enemy's pursuit. This made her extremely anxious and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Just as she was hesitating whether to turn around and rush into the enemy group, sacrificing herself to buy a better chance for Sister Tsuna to escape, the rumbling sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Soon, a cavalry team of no less than a hundred people rushed over, led by the returning Lady Gand, and following closely behind her was the second lady of the territory, Cress.

It turned out that Tanda went out of the city yesterday to avoid bad luck. The three ladies in the city had agreed on a division of labor. Sophia, who had the highest martial arts value among the three, was responsible for protecting Mrs. Tanda's safety, while Cress, who was famous for his fierceness, was responsible for staying in the city to look after the house.

Cress was born in a poor family. The dignity of aristocracy did not exist for her. If Katia dared to curse in public, she would go up and slap her. So she took the initiative to ask to stay in the city. In addition to staying in the city to prevent any unexpected situations, she also had plans to target Katia. She wanted to have a fight with her and find trouble with this bitch.

What was beyond her expectation was that not long after Mrs. Tanda's cavalry left the city, Katia did come. However, after entering the city, she found that Mrs. Tanda was not there. She did not curse or even smash things as usual, but left angrily without saying anything.

But when she left, Kress discovered that the woman was not angry about her missed target. Instead, when she turned around, there was an almost imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth. Kress was standing in front of her at the time and could see it very clearly.

At first, Cress didn't think much of it, but Katia's abnormal behavior today made her feel that there was something wrong. As a person who could see through people's hearts, the more she noticed the slight difference in the corner of Katia's mouth when she turned around, the more uneasy she felt.

That night, Sister Gangde did not return to the city. She just sent someone to tell her that she would not be returning to the city that night and would stay in the manor outside the city. This message made Cress even more worried.

As the one in charge of territory intelligence, she had learned from Aix's words and deeds that when looking at a problem, one should not only pay attention to details but also take into account the overall situation. Considering the causes and consequences of Katia's disturbance this time, she felt that the matter was more and more strange. Thinking of the serious consequences that might arise, Cress immediately panicked. Yesterday, she suggested that Sister Tsunde go out of the city to relax and avoid the city.

Cress could no longer stay there and summoned all the cavalry in the city to go out of the city and head towards the manor where Gand was staying overnight to meet him.

It was also thanks to her long-term experience in intelligence that she had developed keen insight and was good at grasping some details. If someone was a little more careless today, an irreparable mistake would have been made.

The cavalry ran all the way out of the city and ran into Tsunayoshi who was unable to dodge with several wounded soldiers.

Seeing the reinforcements coming, Tsuna's first thought was not to return to Kudan City, but to take the reinforcements to rescue Sophia who was left behind.

Thanks to Mrs. Gangde's guidance, the cavalry was able to return as quickly as possible. If she had been a moment later, Sophia might have lost her mind and rushed into the enemy group. Although she was born with supernatural powers and her martial arts skills were quite good after years of practice, she was still a flesh and blood body. No matter how powerful a flesh and blood body was, it could not withstand the swords, spears, and halberds coming from all directions.

Under the leadership of Gangde, the galloping cavalry immediately stunned the pursuing enemy. After another bloody battle, the cavalry finally repelled the pursuing enemy.

But no one knew how many enemies there were. Although the enemies nearby had been repelled, there were still enemies in the distance coming in an endless stream with torches, and they seemed to be fighting to the death.

In addition, it was night time and visibility was unclear, so accidents could easily happen. So the cavalry took Sophia and the five surviving guards and hurried to Kudan City.
