Lu Yi looked at Zhou Changgong with a smile.
The seal of the deputy governor of Loulan glowed faintly in his mind. Within a hundred feet around him, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was joyful and agile, transforming into wisps of colorful starlight visible to the naked eye, slowly merging into Zhou Changgong's body, constantly replenishing his consumption and allowing him to maintain his peak condition at all times.
With Lu Yi's cultivation.
With the authority of the seal.
Controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred meters, turning them from "a pool of stagnant water" into "lively and absorbable spiritual charm", this is the limit of what Lu Yi can do now.
This is the authority bestowed by the Taimi Emperor Axe.
If it weren't for the Taimi Emperor Axe that bestowed a hundred times the authority on the Loulan Deputy Governor's Seal, the "range of spiritual charm" that Lu Yi could control would probably be a radius of five or six feet around him.
Through the seal, Lu Yi vaguely realized that the Luoyi where he was now was not his "jurisdiction", so his authority was greatly restricted. If he was in Loulan Pass, then the scope of the spiritual power of heaven and earth that he controlled would reach a radius of ten miles, that is, 1,500 feet!
Within this range, Lu Yi can mobilize the spiritual power of heaven and earth for his subordinates to absorb and use in battle.
The control of power in this world is extremely strict and thorough, with no loopholes that can be exploited - for example, Lu Yi can now only control the spiritual power of heaven and earth within a hundred feet to replenish the consumption of Zhou Changgong and others, but the rhythm of the Tao of heaven and earth is still unable to be mobilized at all!
Can restore mana and stamina.
But if you want to improve your Taoism, you can only rely on "Emperor Money"!
Lu Yi shook his head slightly, and the thirty-six bone relics in his hand flew out silently and sank into the darkness, instantly swallowing up the soldiers killed by Zhou Changgong, leaving only wisps of ashes.
From all directions, there were sounds of armor shattering, shields piercing, and flesh exploding, and the screams of agony continued.
Xu Damabang hesitated, and dozens of heads and leaders of the big families were also trembling, unwilling to take risks in the dark. They just urged their own private soldiers or the rangers of the Ximen Ranger Battalion to go forward and die.
Faced with narrow streets, unfamiliar surroundings, and rapidly attacking and powerful arrows, the only fate for these unfortunate fellows who hadn't even entered the realm of true cultivation was to have their flesh shot and explode, killing them instantly.
More than an hour passed, and the number of private soldiers left in the Big Knife Workshop by various households had exceeded three thousand, and the cavalry of the Ximen Cavalry Battalion had suffered more than four thousand casualties.
A total of seven thousand people filled the Big Knife Workshop, but they didn't even see any members of the Zhou family.
Xu Damabang had a gloomy face. He carried the big pole and strode back to Luo Bo. He slammed the big pole in his hand heavily to the ground and said, "Elder Luo, we can't go in... If we keep charging like this, the people below will rebel before we can fight Zhou Laodao and the others!"
Luo Bo said nothing.
The several Luo family stewards behind him also looked embarrassed and exchanged glances.
They had not had time to count just now, but now the people below had roughly counted the total number of troops lost and reported it to them, and even they were shocked.
The combined losses of private soldiers and cavalry exceed seven thousand?
It's really weird!
Looking around, the heads of the big families all had bloodshot eyes. The private soldiers under their command, especially the rangers of the Ximen Ranger Battalion, had wandering eyes with all kinds of unfriendly looks in their eyes.
We can no longer force them to die.
It was a dark night, and facing the sniper attack of a top archer, rushing into the Big Knife Workshop at night was indeed a life-threatening matter!
These dozens of large and powerful families are all "vassal followers" of the Luo family. If their strength is severely weakened, they will have other thoughts and be forced to get close to the Qin family and the Lin family. This is not a good thing.
The cavalry of Ximen Ranger Camp... they are all top-notch strong warriors, and a lot of money and food are spent to support them... if they are pushed into a corner, even though these guys can't pose any threat to them, it is possible that they will really defect and run to the wilderness to join those bandits!
Luo Bo waved his hand, his face gloomy, and said in a deep voice: "How many people were lost? Count them. For each private army's casualties, the Luo family will pay ten imperial coins as compensation... For the rangers in the Ranger Battalion, for each casualty, we will give ten gold, one hundred silver, or one hundred thousand copper coins as condolences. Their family members will be selected to join the Ranger Battalion to eat food!"
Luo Bo gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
As a result, the anger of each family head was immediately calmed down - the loss of three thousand private soldiers could be exchanged for a compensation of thirty thousand imperial coins. This deal was a good deal!
For a moment, some family heads even felt a little regretful. Did they send too few people to fight against the Big Knife Workshop? One life costs ten imperial coins... I really regret it!
And Xu Damabang also became calm.
The Rangers of the Ranger Battalion certainly could not receive the same treatment as the private soldiers. However, the death or injury of a Ranger could be exchanged for ten taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, and a compensation of one hundred thousand copper coins, which was quite generous.
The one hundred taels of silver and one hundred thousand copper coins can be given to the families of those unfortunate people.
And what about the ten taels of gold?
The death of about 4,000 Rangers was 40,000 taels of gold, which was an extremely generous unexpected income even for Xu Damabang. This was enough to buy a very fertile farm outside the city and add a lot to the family's wealth.
So, Xu Damabang picked up the big pole that he had just thrown on the ground, put it on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "We can't charge now... we can only wait until daybreak. After daybreak, no matter how powerful Zhou Changgong's archery skills are, at least he will have room to dodge. Moreover, after daybreak, it won't be so easy for him to snipe and kill in the dark. We can suppress him with a hundred times more archers!"
Luo Bo frowned: "Wait until dawn?"
Xu Damabang nodded vigorously: "Wait until dawn... This, it won't be long!"
Everyone looked towards the east. The sky was pitch black, without any sign of dawn... If it were the standard time of the Yin-Yang period, it would still take at least a day and a half before dawn.
Exhaling heavily, Luo Bo nodded slowly: "Be more prepared. The heavy equipment for siege should also be prepared more... Well, draw skilled archers from every household and prepare more."
The large group of people surrounding the Big Knife Shop stopped attacking.
They lit a bonfire, lighting up the area around the Big Knife Workshop. Heavy carriages came from all directions, with sentry towers and arrow towers erected on them, crossbowmen secretly deployed on them, and heavy crossbows were mounted on them, completely blocking the entire Big Knife Workshop.
The sound of the armor plates rubbing against each other continued to come from all directions.
Each household under the vassal state of the Luo family received a pension of ten imperial coins for each private soldier, and they mobilized more private soldiers and rushed to the Big Knife Workshop.
Among them were some clever people who had been "smart since childhood". They took out a large amount of low-quality leather armor from the warehouse, gathered a large number of slaves and farmers to put on armor, and used these unlucky guys to pretend to be elite private soldiers and rushed over.
Anyway, one private soldier is worth ten imperial coins...as long as he is wearing armor and holding a knife!
Time just passes by little by little.
The whole of Luoyi became restless because of the commotion at the Big Knife Workshop. Many mansions, especially the neighborhoods where the Qin and Lin families lived, became brightly lit, and a large number of elite soldiers continued to gather!
Immediately, a steward from the Luo family brought his elite subordinates and ran to the Qin and Lin families without any concealment, declaring that the Zhou family of the Big Knife Shop was "innocent" in killing the men of Ma Shangfeng's family, but was exposed and reported by their own relatives. The Luo family was "doing justice" for the Ma family, while the Zhou family was resisting stubbornly.
The Qin and Lin families had very ambiguous attitudes towards the explanation given by the Luo family's steward.
Their own private armies, as well as those of the large and powerful families that are vassal states of their clan, are still gathering continuously.
Lu Yi didn't care about this at all.
The thirty-six white-bone gods and demons devoured about seven thousand killed soldiers and elites, and their armor, shields, weapons, etc. were all recovered by the Zhou family. Lu Yi used the Buddha's flame to melt and refine these weapons again. When the sky in the east was slightly bright, more than a thousand private soldiers of the Zhou family and thousands of Zhou family men all wore the fine heavy armor refined by Lu Yi and held the sharp knives refined by Lu Yi.
Because of the material problem, most of the armor and weapons confiscated were made of ordinary alloys, and only a very small number of high-quality goods were mixed with some spiritual gold. The armor and weapons refined by Lu Yi were naturally not as good as those made of spiritual gold in terms of material.
But Lu Yi's craftsmanship is here.
The metals he refined were more refined, his smelting techniques were more sophisticated, and the various restrictions he engraved were a hundred times more advanced than those of the most powerful weapon maker in Luoyi.
Therefore, although the weapons and armor used were made of ordinary alloys, their defense and armor-piercing capabilities were infinitely close to the "heavenly soldiers" conventionally recognized by Luoyi.
Lu Yi even "hastily" refined hundreds of "ordinary bows and crossbows".
The materials used and the refining methods of these bows and crossbows are naturally not as good as the "fine product" in Zhou Changgong's hand. Even so, their power and additional attributes are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Hundreds of carefully selected, strongest and most muscular men from the Zhou family, carrying these "strong bows", enthusiastically climbed up to the vicinity of the ancestral hall, and formed a seamless shooting network at the secret high points reserved at the beginning of the construction.
From all directions of the Big Knife Shop, horns sounded and war drums roared.
Large amounts of wine, meat and food were delivered like flowing water, and groups of soldiers began to shout and eat and drink. On several tall arrow towers, senior members of the Luo family and other large families appeared, pointing at various streets and alleys in the Big Knife Shop, gesticulating and discussing the route of attack.
A large number of civilians appeared.
Carrying pickaxes, hoes and other tools, they shouted slogans and began to tear down the walls around the big knife workshop.
With the sound of low collapse, the walls around the Dadaofang were constantly being flattened, and the entire Dadaofang was gradually exposed to the enemies on all sides. Last night, the foreign enemies only had three gaps in the city wall that were blown open for attack, but now, with the disappearance of the surrounding walls, the foreign enemies can attack the Dadaofang from any angle at will.
After a hearty meal, the stewards of the Luo family and the leading figures of the big families such as Xu Damabang began to cheer loudly to encourage the private soldiers and elite cavalry who had gathered together.
Boxes of gold, boxes of silver, and piles of copper coins were piled up on the streets around the Dadaofang. A steward of the Luo family loudly offered a reward. If one could kill an ordinary member of the Zhou family, he would get a certain amount of reward. If one could kill the three brothers of Zhou Laodao, he would get a much higher reward!
Zhou Laodao stood on top of a watchtower, staring coldly at the movement in the distance.
He suddenly sneered: "With such a big scene, isn't the Luo family afraid of losing money this time?"
Zhou Laodao and his two brothers couldn't understand why things turned out like this? With the huge battle that Luo Bo had created, even if they captured the Dadaofang, it would not be worth it in the end!
Given the level of knowledge Zhou Laodao and his brothers had, they really couldn't understand why this was happening!
Lu Yi smiled and shook his head.
At first, no matter what the reason was for the Luo family to attack the Zhou family, in the eyes of the Luo family's top leaders, there was a traitor working together inside and outside, and it was an easy task to break into the Big Knife Workshop and demote all the Zhou family members to criminal labor, and it didn't require too much cost at all.
But with Lu Yi's interference, a strong bow, and a skilled archer with endless physical strength, the Luo family suffered too many casualties. Things started to get out of control from this point on.
Luoyi is not dominated by the Luo family alone.
There are two other powerful families who possess the Emperor's Coin Deed.
If the Luo family cannot extinguish the Zhou family with a thunderous force, if the Luo family cannot break through the Big Knife Workshop at the lowest cost, if the Luo family and the vassal families under the Luo family lose too much vitality here...
hehe!
What happens next is interesting!
Lu Yi had heard that some minor frictions had occurred around .
There were spies who were not part of the Luo family, who wanted to get close to the Big Knife Workshop to find out what was going on... and the scouts stationed outside by the Luo family had already had several small fights with the other side. Both sides had restrained themselves, and no one died, but there were already serious injuries.
If, today, a powerful family like the Luo family cannot destroy the Zhou family with the strongest attitude and the strongest style... then the subsequent events will obviously be out of control.
But...
Lu Yi looked at the three brothers Zhou Laodao, Zhou Changgong and Zhou Tiejiao, who all had their brows tightly furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he felt that these were all small matters, so there was no need to explain them in too much detail, right?
The sound of the wall collapsing outside continued to be heard.
The Luo family was indeed wealthy and powerful, and they could almost cover the sky with one hand in Luoyi... The number of laborers they recruited was astonishing. In just two or three hours, the city wall of a neighborhood as big as Dadaofang was stripped clean.
The days and nights were long in this world. By the time the wall of the Big Knife Workshop was cleared, the sun in the east had risen to the height of a pole. The soldiers and rangers around had already eaten and drunk their fill, and had rested well. They had prepared all kinds of offensive equipment and were ready for the attack.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Amid the dense sound of war drums, more than a hundred Taoist practitioners, holding specially made thick shields and wearing heavy armor, led the way and slowly advanced into the Big Sword Workshop from all directions, accompanied by large groups of armored soldiers.
The sky is bright now and the visibility is excellent.
On the heavy carts all around, archers on the sentry towers and arrow towers looked down at the entire Broadsword Workshop.
A member of the Zhou family who was scouting on a high place accidentally revealed his whereabouts, and was immediately shot by a skilled archer.
With a muffled groan, the scout from the Zhou family was shot by an arrow and fled back to the ancestral hall in a panic through the secret passage.
With the sound of wheels, these specially made heavy vehicles, driven by animal power, slowly drove into the Big Knife Workshop. A steward of the Luo family, holding a strong bow, stood on the arrow tower and shouted: "Open your eyes, if you see the Zhou family criminals, just shoot them... Hey, originally they were criminals and still had a chance to survive, but now... they are dead, dead!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Changgong had already climbed onto the arrow tower outside the ancestral hall, pulled the bow, and shot an arrow.
The arrow broke through the air, making a sharp and piercing sound.
The Luo family's deacon, who was shouting loudly, was caught off guard. The arrow pierced his wide-open mouth with incredible accuracy, passed through his body from behind his head, and even pierced the heads of the two archers standing behind him, smashing a guardrail of the arrow tower.
Three bodies fell crookedly from the arrow tower.
From all directions, countless archers shouted in unison, the sound of bowstrings vibrating continued, and the roar of heavy crossbows shooting continued to ring out.
Countless arrows pierced the void from all directions and shot towards Zhou Changgong.
Although Dadaofang covers a vast area, it is only less than two miles long and wide. There are arrow towers all around the Dadaofang. An archer with a little arm strength can easily shoot arrows across the entire market.
Arrows whistled towards Zhou Changgong. Suddenly, several members of the Zhou family appeared beside him and quickly raised their heavy shields.
These heavy shields were all forged by Lu Yi using the spiritual gold material in the Zhou family's stockpile. They were of the highest quality among heavenly soldiers. Although they were only as thick as a palm, their defensive power was truly astonishing.
The warm light of the morning sun shone on the shield that was polished to a mirror-like brilliance. Countless arrows pierced the shield fiercely, and there was a continuous "clang" sound. The arrows exploded into pieces, and sparks flew everywhere. However, there was not a single scratch on the mirror surface of the heavy shield!
Even the armor-piercing arrows made of spiritual gold shot by several deacons of the Luo family who were skilled in archery were unable to cause any damage to the heavy shields made by Lu Yi!
These archers were unable to break through the defense, and Zhou Changgong suddenly felt proud.
He laughed wildly, not worrying at all about the arrows shot from all directions. He pulled the longbow with great pleasure and threw out the armor-piercing arrows one after another.
When daybreak came, the visibility of the enemies on all sides became much better. But for Zhou Changgong, these enemies who surrounded him from all sides with great fanfare became the best targets.
The spiritual power of heaven and earth continuously poured into his body, and the consumed mana and physical strength were replenished at any time, and his own mana and physical strength were always maintained at the peak state. Dense arrows swept out like a rainstorm, and on the hundreds of moving arrow towers visible to the naked eye around, one after another archers screamed and fell down after being shot.
In just a dozen breaths, Zhou Changgong fired hundreds of arrows, sweeping away the archers on the hundreds of heavy carriages that were advancing into the Big Sword Workshop. The sharp arrows even shattered many of the important mechanisms of dozens of expensive heavy crossbows that were hard to come by even for the Luo family.
The mechanisms of these heavy crossbows were shattered, and the broken bowstrings were flying around, causing wood chips to fly above the arrow tower. Some archers were beaten to the point of having their limbs broken, with broken bones and blood everywhere. The scene was truly horrific.
After clearing out the threats from the chariot arrow towers, Zhou Changgong smiled and shot arrows at the enemies that were clearly visible in the streets and alleys around him.
Without the threat of the archers on the arrow tower, the Zhou family members who were ambushing on high ground also stood up one after another. Under the protection of the heavy shield bearers beside them, they pulled their bows and shot arrows in all directions.
The arrows of these Zhou family members are far less lethal than Zhou Changgong.
Even so, dense arrows rained down from high above, still causing huge casualties to the enemies advancing towards the Big Sword Workshop from all directions.
The arrows easily tore through the armor of the soldiers and cavalry, shattered the shields in their hands, and penetrated their bodies fiercely - the strength of these Zhou family members was limited, and their arrows could not shatter human limbs like Zhou Changgong's heavy arrows, but they were enough to leave transparent wounds on the enemy's body.
In less than a cup of tea, the foreign enemies who advanced into Dadaofang suffered heavy casualties.
A rough estimate showed that at least two thousand soldiers and rangers were shot dead, and the number of wounded was several times that. The streets and alleys were full of wounded soldiers covered in blood, howling and struggling, while those who were lucky enough not to be shot hid behind the corners of the walls, not daring to stick their heads out.
In fact, when the Big Sword Workshop was first built, it was designed according to the specifications of a war fortress.
The Zhou family members near the ancestral hall can shoot at the enemies around them as much as they want. Although there are many archers among the external enemies, it is not so easy for them to shoot the Zhou family members in the high fortress from the ground.
When the heavy vehicles came up, the archers in the arrow towers were swept away by Zhou Changgong, and the enemies on the ground had no way to do anything except to take the beating.
Amid the angry roar, the hot-tempered and uncunning leader of the big family jumped up with a heavy shield on his shoulder. Relying on his speed of true cultivation, he forced his way into the street leading to the Dadaofang ancestral hall, intending to rush forward and engage in a fight with the Zhou family.
But just as they jumped up, Zhou Changgong, whose cultivation level had greatly improved, had already responded. He pulled the strong bow in his hand and rained heavy arrows down. Several Taoist practitioners who were jumping around screamed in agony. The heavy shields of spiritual gold in their hands that were stacked up for several layers were broken fiercely. The heavy arrows pierced into their bodies, and five or six people were shot in the vital parts and died on the spot. Several others fell to the ground with their limbs covered and blood like fountains, twitching and howling miserably.
Zhou Changgong was too lazy to reload his arrows. He let these unfortunate guys fall to the ground, twitching and wailing, and shouted at the outside with a hoarse voice: "My dear friends, please don't come here to die, okay?"
"Everyone knows who I am, Zhou Changgong... Don't you all know what kind of person my elder brother, Zhou Laodao, is? We are all from the same hometown, don't you know?"
"The crime that the Luo family accused us of was that we killed Ma Shangfeng's entire family!"
"Is this something our Zhou family did? I, Zhou Changgong, am not good at speaking and can't explain it clearly. Anyway, the truth is in their hands, right?"
"However, I, Zhou Changgong, know one thing - every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If the Luo family wants my Zhou family dead, then let the Luo family come up themselves...How many of you have been killed or injured from yesterday to today? Is it worth it for you to risk your life for the Luo family?"
"Look, look, look at those people lying on the ground."
"Hey, the one whose thigh was shot off must be the eldest son of the Qiu family, right? Look at you, look at you, you are the only one in the Qiu family who has entered the Dao and practiced Taoism, why are you risking your life? If you die here, your beautiful wives and concubines...tsk tsk!"
"Boss Qiu, if you die here, your property will become someone else's property; your wives and concubines will become someone else's wives and concubines; your women will also become someone else's wives and concubines... What about your son... Do you think your son can survive?"
"Also, the one whose shoulder was shot off, is he the second son of the Hou family?"
"Hou Lao Er, I heard that your boss has been coveting your wife for quite some time... If you do that, haha... your boss will climb into your bed tonight and take care of your wife for you, do you believe it?"
We are all from the same village, so who doesn’t know about the dirty things going on in each other’s families?
Zhou Changgong looked at the unlucky guys who were lying on the ground twitching, and casually mentioned the biggest hidden worry in their family... For a moment, the screams of the unlucky guys became much quieter, and the attacking teams hiding behind the corners on all sides suddenly became chaotic. Then, one after another, the true practitioners carrying heavy shields retreated silently.
Zhou Changgong's words may sound crude, but they make sense!
You are from a small family, and there are only two or three people in the family who have entered the Dao and practiced Taoism, or even just one person. If someone in your family dies here and the family strength suddenly declines, do you still expect the Luo family to help you take care of your family business?
In the early morning, the cool breeze makes people feel cool all over.
Along with the breeze, Zhou Changgong's laughter and scolding also reached Luo Bo's ears... Luo Bo and the Luo family's senior leaders behind him were heartbroken about the deaths of their own archers, but at the same time they were so angry at Zhou Changgong's words that the three corpse gods jumped up and down!
A deacon from the Luo family even brought up the question that had puzzled them since last night.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong. Just now, that bastard Zhou Changgong shot at least hundreds of arrows... Even if he had a body made of iron, even if he had enough emperor coins to spend at will, he couldn't have shot so many arrows in a row!"
"There's something weird, something really weird!"
Luo Bo's face was gloomy, and he whispered hoarsely: "No matter what's strange, today, we must capture the Big Knife Shop and hang the heads of all the Zhou family members at the city gate... Otherwise, what face will my Luo family have?"
Several Luo family leaders exhaled at the same time, only to feel a bloody smell rising in their throats.
Luo Bo muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the Zhou family would be so difficult to defeat... It's really..."
Shaking his head, Luo Bo gave a few instructions to the senior members of the Luo family behind him.
The sun rises slowly.
Inside Luoyi City, the temperature slowly rose, and countless flies and insects flew in from all directions, landing on the corpses on the ground and on the large pools of blood.
Those who were shot by Zhou Changgong lay on the ground in despair.
Blood was constantly flowing, mosquitoes were biting their wounds, and they could feel their life force slowly slipping away.
Some clever private soldiers threw ropes with iron hooks from a distance, put them on their masters, and dragged them away like dragging a bundle of firewood.
Zhou Changgong originally wanted to kill them all, but after Lu Yi gave a few instructions, he put down the bow in his hand and allowed the wounded to be pulled out of the Dadaofang little by little with the help of those clever guys.
After the seriously injured were rescued, the enemies gathered around saw their miserable condition and their morale dropped. Many people began to inquire about the cause and effect of the siege of Dadaofang. Some people began to tell the story of the Luo family, but many people were unsure whether to believe it or not... The Luo family's authority in the hearts of these people was weakened little by little.
The sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard.
A large group of cavalry came galloping from the direction of the old city. They were all carefully selected tall horses, each wearing a vest. The horseshoes made of fine steel knocked frantically on the stone street, splashing countless dazzling sparks.
More than a mile away from the Big Sword Workshop, the knight on horseback pulled the reins, then jumped off the horse and silently adjusted his armor.
This team of knights carried a faint, cold sense of death.
As they moved, the noise of private soldiers and slaves from the surrounding households inexplicably became lower. Gradually, the surroundings became completely silent. Many people tensed their faces and watched the team of no more than a hundred knights with constricted pupils.
They put on armor and picked up long swords.
The lines of the armor on their bodies were smooth and graceful, with exquisite reliefs of animal heads on the front and back of the armor. The edges of each piece of armor flashed with a faint rune halo, and when they moved, it seemed as if extremely fine starlight particles were floating in the wind.
These armors are exactly the same in shape. If you put any two sets of armor together, even with the eyesight of those who have truly practiced Taoism in Luoyi, they cannot tell any difference at all.
There is no doubt that this is some kind of standard armor.
The starlight flowing on these armors is so strange, which also means that the power of these armors is by no means comparable to that of ordinary heavenly soldier-level armors.
The long swords in the hands of these hundred or so knights are exactly the same in shape as the armor they are wearing.
The black three-foot-long handle and the six-foot-long blade shaped like a seedling, the blade back is as thick as a finger, and the blade has a faint blood-red starlight. Two knights gently swung the long sword, and the long sword broke through the air, making an extremely sharp and extremely long "squeak" sound, as if a hawk flew quickly over the head and made a high-pitched cry.
Many of the heads and chiefs of the wealthy families around them suddenly saw these knights and subconsciously took a deep breath.
Some people couldn't help it and started showing off their knowledge, whispering to those around them about the origins of this group of people!
The Luo family, which is so powerful that it can almost cover the sky with one hand in Luoyi City and is also considered a top force in the entire wilderness, is nothing more than a tiny ant that can be wiped out at will when facing higher-level existences.
Every few years, the Luo family would select true practitioners from the clan and send them to "serve" in higher-level superior forces.
Many members of the Luo family went there and never returned.
And some lucky ones will return to the Luo family with cultivation levels far exceeding the average level of Luoyi City, carrying all kinds of magical weapons, fine armor, even various elixirs and various treasures that the country bumpkins of Luoyi City cannot even imagine.
These guys who have just returned from the outside world are the real foundation of the Luo family.
However, for many years, the Luo family had no need to use these people.
These guys usually live a life of luxury in the Luo family, and there is nothing worth their deployment.
But today, it was obvious that the unusually fierce counterattack of the Big Sword Shop made Luo Bo and the Luo family leaders behind him feel a little uneasy and threatened, so they actually brought out these real family backgrounds.
The hundred or so knights adjusted their armor, gently swung their swords, and after a few clangs, they put down their heavy visors.
The people around exclaimed again.
The armor on these knights had two blood-red chips embedded in the areas where their eyes should be.
The pitch-black armor, the ferocious animal head reliefs on the chest and back, the ferocious faces of ghosts and gods on the visors, plus the two chips that shine with a faint blood light in the sun, these knights, who are already murderous, exude an even more intimidating aura that makes people dare not look directly at them.
Luo Fu and other senior members of the Luo family bowed and saluted to these knights.
One of the knights leading the team turned his head to look at Luo Bo and said solemnly, "Let's go in first... and collect their bodies in a quarter of an hour!"
Luo Bo smiled and bowed to the knight leading the team: "Thank you, Seventh Uncle!"
The knight snorted coldly and strode towards the sword workshop.
Behind him, a hundred or so Luo family knights slowly spread out, with an average distance of about ten feet between them, and lined up in a straight line. They approached the Big Sword Workshop slowly and casually, step by step, and then rushed in without any dodging.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes. He stood on the wall of the Luo Family Ancestral Hall, looking at the knights who barged in without hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "These guys are quite interesting! You better be careful!"
Zhou Changgong let out a long whistle, and he put all his strength into pulling the bow in his hand as far as he could. With a loud bang, an armor-piercing arrow shattered the air, bringing up several white air explosion rings. Almost the moment it left the bowstring, it shot straight in front of the Seventh Uncle mentioned by Luo Bo in the front.
The long sword in Seventh Uncle's hand swung violently.
A faint blood-red blade light flashed by, and with a "clang" sound, sparks exploded, and the arrow shot by Zhou Changgong was actually split into two pieces by the long sword in the seventh uncle's hand.
The broken arrow shaft hit Seventh Uncle's shoulder armor at an angle. Accompanied by sparks and collision sounds, the two arrow shafts spun rapidly and were bounced dozens of feet high.
The upper body of the Seventh Uncle shook slightly. He turned his head to look at the two deep scratches on his shoulder armor and hissed, "What a strong bow... Bastard, where did you get such a good thing?"
Swinging the long knife in his hand forward fiercely, the Seventh Uncle said sternly: "Go in, capture them alive, and torture them to find out where they got such a powerful weapon!"
More than a hundred members of the Luo family roared in unison and suddenly accelerated, like more than a hundred black arrows, rushing into the Big Knife Workshop at an incredible speed.
The next moment, dozens of young and strong men from the Zhou family who had blocked their direction opened their bows and shot arrows at random. Dozens of arrows fell with a sharp whistle and hit a dozen knights who were rushing in the front.
Amid the harsh sound of metal friction, some arrows were refracted by the armor, only splashing a few sparks.
Some arrows pierced through the armor of the knights and pierced their arms and thighs.
With a muffled groan, five or six knights who were shot in the thighs suddenly tilted their bodies, staggered and fell to the ground, and rolled forward a long distance.
Luo Bo and others who were watching the battle with smiles in the back suddenly changed their expressions.
"How is that possible?"
