Chapter 92 The King of Last Hit
Slaine, the king of finishing blows, considers himself the leader of the tripartite alliance. He has visited the Green Bamboo and Purple Fruit tribes more than once. In his heart, he has long regarded these two allies as his own possessions.
After getting the news from Lauren, he excitedly led his team here without stopping, both to rescue Jenny and Irene and to annex the Purple Fruit Tribe.
But he never expected that when he rushed into the mountain stronghold with his men, he saw Jenny and Horn walking towards them. Their loving appearance was very dazzling; how could they look like they were imprisoned at all?
"What is this?" Slaine looked stunned.
Mam's expression changed, and he whispered a warning: "Oh no, Jenny is really a liar! My Lord, I suggest you evacuate the village first!"
The three knights and several cavalrymen next to them also changed their expressions, but Slaine sneered.
"What are you afraid of? Can they beat us?"
Just then, they heard hurried footsteps behind them. It turned out that it was Rydar and Tom who led the team and blocked the retreat route behind them.
Slaine looked back and felt something was wrong.
He turned back again, staring at Jenny with a grim look, "Damn bitch, how dare you lie to me!"
Jenny was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled faintly. "I'm sorry, Slaine. I did lie to you. However, I also brought you an opportunity to get rid of your identity as a 'savage.'"
She took a step forward and said, "This is Baron Luo Ning. He is the Lord of Shanlin Town and the bloodline of the Wushan family. He conquered the Qingzhu tribe with his strength and killed Knight Willy. I also led my followers to submit to him. Now it's time for you to make a choice."
"As a former ally, I kindly remind you that being loyal to Lord Ronin is your only choice."
Everyone in the Gray Earth Tribe was shocked by Jenny's introduction, especially Mam. He had imagined that the Purple Fruit Tribe and the Black Collar Tribe would unite, but he never expected that a noble would suddenly appear in the Wubei Forest and that this noble was a family member of the Lord of the Wushan Territory.
"The Baron of Hillwood Town? From the Wushan Family?"
Slaine turned his angry gaze towards Ronin, his brows furrowed.
No wonder, no wonder he felt uncomfortable when he glanced at the silver-haired boy just now. Wasn't the leader of the noble coalition that was chasing them also silver-haired?
However, it is impossible to make him submit to a noble.
Slaine's greatest wish is to become a noble himself or, if he cannot become a noble, to become the leader of a group, which is much more enjoyable than being loyal to others.
Even for him, surrendering to the Black Collar Tribe was more comfortable than swearing allegiance to the nobles.
He slowly pulled out the long sword hanging on Ma Bei, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Silver-haired little devil, you want me to submit to you? Dream on!"
"drive!"
Slaine squeezed his horse's belly hard and launched a charge, not leaving Ronin any chance to negotiate.
Jenny was right; this person is confident, arrogant, conceited, and has no brains.
"My lord, be careful!"
Jenny exclaimed while Knight Horn was next to her, ready to attack.
Their surrender was genuine, and they didn't want to see anything happen to Roning.
But there are people who are faster than them.
McKen, who had been guarding Ronin all the time, took action as soon as the opponent started to charge.
He stomped on the ground hard, and a surging fighting spirit poured out. The ground shook violently, and when the opponent was halfway through the charge, the ground suddenly rose up to form an earth wall barrier.
"Break it for me!"
Slaine roared and slashed with his sword, sending a sharp blade of light slamming into the earth wall, shattering it. At the same time, his fighting spirit enveloped his body and that of his horse, forming a huge galloping armor.
Slain leaped on his horse, stepped over the broken earth wall, and broke out.
Roning's eyes lit up. This Slaine's fighting style was extremely brutal. If he could subdue him, he would be considered to have gained a powerful general.
But soon, his idea was extinguished.
McKen was not afraid at all. Even without a warhorse, his speed was extremely fast in a short distance. The two sides came towards each other and collided almost instantly.
"Die!"
Slaine looked down from above and stabbed McKen with a sword. He didn't expect that this knight was so fearless that he dared to face his sword.
The moment McKenz passed by the opponent's horse, he seized the opportunity to attack and struck the opponent with a powerful sword.
The long swords collided, and tremendous power burst out from the swords.
McKen was knocked back, and Slaine was blown away like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground and spitting out blood.
The warhorse he was riding was also overturned by the force of the blow, and due to inertia it plowed the ground for more than ten meters and stopped a few meters away from Roning.
"Elrond, hurry up and treat this horse!" Ronin ordered hurriedly.
Elrond has finished making the healing spell scrolls in the past two days. In addition to practicing, he checks to see if anyone in the Qingzhu and Ziguo tribes needs his treatment.
If there was, he would cast a healing spell, which could not only help the injured person get up but also spread the Lord's kindness.
Now, I didn't expect that his healing skills would be used on horses.
Well, horses are a bit expensive.
"As you wish, sir!" The light magician gladly accepted the order.
When they started to rescue the horses, Slaine crawled out of the dust. His face was filled with fear, and his expression changed drastically. This Baron was a little bit strong.
"Mamu, attack; everyone come together, kill this noble, and we will still be the king of the forest!"
The roar woke up Mam, who was shocked by the battle just now, and his mind raced.
Surrender was also not an option for him because he was betraying Jenny.
Now that Jenny surrendered to Ronin first and offered such a good strategy, she must have won the Baron's favor. If he surrendered now, he would most likely be asked to be executed by Jenny.
At that time, the young Baron would most likely agree to the request.
"Slaine is dead, so what? As long as I lead my men to break through, I can be the leader of the Grey Earth Tribe! Then, I can cooperate with the Black Collar Tribe and rely on the power behind them. I don't have to be afraid of this Baron."
In an instant, Mam thought of a way to retreat. "Bablin and everyone else, Slaine is already dying. If you want to live, rush out with me. Those who stay behind will die! That Baron and Jenny will not let you go!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed outside instead of following Slaine's words and charging at Ronin.
Baburin, three other junior knights, and five cavalrymen were stunned for a moment, then without hesitation, they turned their horses' heads and followed Mam to charge outside.
Many things in the Gray Earth Tribe are arranged by Mam, and they trust each other's judgment.
"Betrayal, damn it, you actually dared to betray me!"
Slaine roared; his eyes were red, and his fighting spirit became extremely violent, "Kill!"
He couldn't care less now. The only way for him to survive was to break through McKen's defense and capture Roning as a hostage.
However, no matter how he charged or how he changed his offensive, he was firmly guarded by McKenn and could not move forward at all.
On the other side, Mam and others who were about to rush out were greeted by a large cloud of fire.
The fire cloud was like a red cloth covering the sky, covering them!
The warhorse neighed in fear and immediately lost its pace.
The cavalryman on horseback lost his balance and immediately fell to the ground. Mam, who reacted a little faster, raised his sword and slashed with his fighting spirit, but was blown away by the impact of the fire cloud and fell off his horse.
Rydar swung his sword, "Take them down!"
Tom, Wharton, Dandy, and others led the guards and militia to surround them immediately.
The battle ended quickly. Under the leadership of Redar, none of the ten people, including Mam, escaped. They were all taken out and forced to kneel on the ground. Two swords were placed on their necks, and they dared not move.
At the same time, Slaine was completely defeated by McKen and was knocked to the ground, unable to stand up.
Jenny and Horn looked at the battle in front of them in shock. They didn't expect that Roning could win so easily against the people of the Gray Earth Tribe.
Their eyes flickered between Macon and Rydal.
The fighting power these two people just demonstrated was too strong. They definitely have high-level peak strength and can even be compared with bronze-level knights.
On the other hand, Roning did not make a single move from beginning to end. His calmness showed that he was very clear about and trusted the strength of his subordinates.
Jenny and Horn were very glad that they surrendered voluntarily that night.
Roning walked up to McKen and asked, "I let you use your fists and feet this time. How do you feel?"
McKen smiled with a lingering feeling: "Thank you for the opportunity, sir. But this guy is too weak. I'm afraid I could have defeated him when I was an intermediate knight."
Slaine, who was standing next to him, heard Roning approaching and turned his head to stare at Roning.
A few hours ago, he was still enjoying the service of others and was a leader who could decide the life and death of hundreds of people, but now he has become a prisoner of others.
The instigator of all this is the silver-haired guy in front of him.
"I'm going to... kill you!"
Slaine tightly grasped the sword on the ground. His extreme hatred made him unable to let go of his obsession. If he had not been unable to stand up, he would definitely pounce on Ronin.
"Should I praise you for being a real man, or should I say you are ignorant of the current situation?"
Roning took the sword from McKen's hand.
He originally wanted to try to see if he could recruit the other party for his use, but now there is no need.
Firstly, the opponent was not strong; he just charged without thinking;
Secondly, and most importantly, Slaine's extremely hateful look just now made Roning feel very uncomfortable. This kind of hatred cannot be eliminated by measures such as restoring his status as a free man.
Taking all factors into consideration, even if such a person stays, he may become in trouble in the future.
Puff!
Ronin pierced the opponent's throat with a sword, ending Slaine's life.
["King of Slaughter" achievement achieved, attribute points +80, energy essence +160]
"Please call me the king of last hits." Luo Ning thought to himself.
