nChapter 48: Disciplinary Knights

nEven if a magic like acid spray was only a 1st-circle magic, it still inflicted a lot of negative effects.

nSkin would blister so much that it would putrefy. If it got in the eyes, it could even make someone permanently blind!

nThis was a caster’s horrifying strength. Even if it was a 1st-circle spell, it still had quite a bit of firepower!

nBut Marvin was already prepared for it.

nAt low level, acid spray was the second favorite spell of Sorcerers and Wizards, the first being Circle of Ice.

nMarvin tilted his body and simply rolled away, dodging the acid spray.

n

"Bang!

"

nAs he evaded, he stunned a gnoll standing nearby with the handle of the dagger, sheathed it, grabbed the gnoll, and held it in front of him while he ran toward the Sorcerer!

nThe gnoll Sorcerer was really panicking this time!

nMarvin’s actions were quite obvious, using that gnoll as a shield!

nAn Arcane Missile flew toward them.

n

"Bang!

"

nMarvin swiftly threw the gnoll at the Arcane Missile to block it.

nMarvin suddenly sped up, reaching a ghost-like speed, and finally reached the Sorcerer!

nCutthroat!

nEven though the gnoll Sorcerer was wearing a low level mana armor, it would directly crumble in front of the powerful cutthroat.

nThis move fiercely sliced the Sorcerer’s head due to Marvin’s 17 strength.

nIt was like a hoe in a vegetable field!

nThe gnoll Sorcerer’s neck was missing a part, from which blood was spurting. The gnolls in the surroundings were thoroughly stunned!

nTheir leader died like that?

nThough, they’d all had a faint premonition when Marvin charged to the Sorcerer.

nBut when it became reality, they still received quite a bit of shock.

nEven a pack of dragons without a leader would turn chaotic, let alone a pack of gnolls!

nAs for the human side, they burst into a loud cheer!

nThe archer Joey was also displaying a proud expression. After all, without his mark, Marvin wouldn’t have killed that gnoll Sorcerer that easily.

nHe also contributed to this!

n...

nThe next instant, a bloody Marvin revealed two daggers.

nHe didn’t wait and kept fighting, thoroughly taking care of the remaining gnolls!

nThey began to scatter and flee toward the castle, frightened!

n‘Still one minute of Dragon Strength left…’

n‘Can’t miss this pack of exp!’

nMarvin had never been soft-hearted. He roared and started swinging his daggers!

nThese gnolls were thoroughly defeated!

n...

nThe gnolls in the camp also turned into a mess.

nThey began to flee and throw their armor and helmets away!

n

"We chase!

" Anna decisively ordered.

nNow was the time!

nThey had to take advantage of the gnolls fleeing to pursue and behead a few more.

nAndre roared and all White River Valley garrison members took the lead in chasing after them!

nThen the adventurers followed. They didn’t really mind something like chasing gnolls.

nIn any case, these things had already turned into headless chickens. Their morale was pitifully low and their resistance was merely a front; they were only waving their weapons in panic.

nEven though there was a huge difference in numbers, a massacre had already begun.

nOf course, even if this side of the battlefield was a slaughter, they didn’t have Marvin there!

nThe adventurers and the garrison all saw Marvin chasing more than thirty screaming gnolls, alone!

nHis speed was frightening, and the short-legged gnolls couldn’t outrun him!

nDagger rising, dagger plunging!

nRepeating the same action over and over again.

nCorpses were spread across the hill a few minutes after!

nNot one escaped. They all became dead bodies.

nThis was Masked Twin Blades’ strength!

nThey were all deeply shocked!

nHe stood alone on top of the hill, motionless. They couldn’t clearly see his expression.

nBut the eyes of all those onlookers were full of reverence!

nIt was thanks to his strength that they turned the battle around.

nHe first killed his way into the army and created an empty spot inside. He then beheaded the gnoll adjutant. Finally, he took advantage of the chaos to forcefully eliminate the gnoll Sorcerer.

nThis achievement was amazing enough.

n‘Such an abnormal guy…’

n‘That young White River Valley noble definitely can’t invite this kind of powerhouse. Looks like Masked Twin Blades didn’t trick me…’

n‘That guy really has someone more powerful behind him.’

nCat was killing gnolls on the side, absent-mindedly looking at Masked Twin Blades.

nHe was suddenly deeply worried.

nBecause just two days ago, he had stealthily sent a carrier pigeon.

nThat pigeon flew toward River Shore City.

nIf he didn’t get the time wrong, that person should have sent people over...

n‘I hope it’s a 2nd rank class holder, at least two of them, or more.’

nOtherwise Cat would really feel frightened.

nMasked Twin Blades was quite fierce, he wouldn’t overreach himself, right?

nBut things already reached this point. He also didn’t have any other way. Since he had already sided with that person, he had to take some risks.

nBeing an adventurer for a lifetime was definitely not his goal.

n...

nThe majority of the gnoll Fighters were soon killed by the humans. The gnolls became defenseless when they started fleeing.

nThey weren’t particularly fast, so only a few gnolls managed to escape.

nAs the war completely settled, White River Valley’s recovery was a success!

nUnder Anna’s orders, everyone took a quick rest and burnt the gnoll corpses.

nThey then kept moving toward the castle.

nMost of the gnolls inside the castle didn’t have any fighting ability.

nThey were all elderly or young.

nTheir fighters had already been cleanly eliminated. And their leader had already been beheaded by Marvin.

nThis only left them with one end. Death!

nThis world was this ruthless.

nIn wars between races, they wouldn’t leave any seed behind. Even if it was a newborn, they would also cut off its neck.

nThis was even more of a massacre than the earlier pursuits.

nIt was already common for the adventurers.

nAs for the garrison, they had been living in Feinan world since they were born, so they naturally knew this kind of rule. Moreover, the gnoll invasion had also caused a lot of civilian casualties.

nThey had no reason to show mercy.

nMore than two hundred gnolls were tied up before being slaughtered.

nTheir corpses were piled up on the hill and completely burnt in a raging fire in the middle of the night. There were still some embers left the next morning.

n

"We won!

"

n

"We made it!

"

n

"We are home!

"

nStanding on the castle walls, the White River Valley garrison members were crying tears of joy.

nEven if the castle and the surrounding farmhouses were still deserted, they knew that those civilians that left to take refuge in the mountain would soon return after their lord called!

nWhite River Valley would definitely recover its past glory!

nThe adventurers rested for the night and were also full of vitality. They stood on the walls, enjoying the morning breeze.

nAnna just settled their commission, and there were no casualties. This mission was really worth it.

nThe reward of a mission with no casualties would normally be quite average.

nBut the casualties of this mission had disappeared thanks to Masked Twin Blades!

nThe most serious injury was a White River Valley garrison member who had gotten a sprain because he was too excited when he chased and stepped on a gnoll head.

nThe rest was slight pulled muscles, bruises and other such things.

nThis kind of enjoyable task, with large rewards and not too dangerous battle, adventurers wouldn’t see them often.

n

"Many thanks for helping us.

"

nAnna emotionlessly said to the adventurers,

"I now formally announce that everyone has fulfilled their duty. You can leave at any time.

"

n

"We will of course welcome you, should you wish to stay. But you’ll have to comply with White River Valley rules.

"

nThe three solo adventurers left after receiving their money, as they had no interest in White River Valley.

nAs for the two teams, they stayed.

nCat squinted, looking in the distance, apparently waiting for something.

nSoon, a few shadows appeared in the distance.

nIt was a few knights!

n

"Where are those knights coming from?

" Anna frowned.

"Andre!

"

n

"Got it!

"

nAndre gave a meaningful glance to one of the garrison members.

nThe latter immediately drew a bow, swiftly aimed at those oncoming knights and shot three arrows!

nThese guys had quite ordinary shooting skills, not as good as Joey’s when it came to long range. But it was still useful as a warning!

nSure enough, due to the warning arrows, the three knights slowed down and slowly arrived at the bottom of the castle’s hill.

nOne knight among them walked in front and loudly yelled,

"We are River Shore City’s Disciplinary Knights!

"

n

"We have come to catch the wanted criminal Masked Twin Blades!

"

n

"We hope that everyone would not obstruct us from carrying out the law!

"
