Chapter 677 - Shadow Grand Knight - Part 2

—Destroy the gate with my skill, [Destructive Slam]. That should be enough to demolish this gate.

Lilliana interjected in her head. Viona rarely used Lilliana\'s skill, and of course, it was under Lilliana\'s instructions. The main reason was that their integration was just temporary. When Viona caught up with the others, Tang Shaoyang would not use [Spirit Fusion] anymore on her. So she had to get used to how Shadow Knight fought by not using Lilliana\'s skill.

"I see," Viona nodded her head and was about to cast the skill, but she heard footsteps from behind. She turned around, and a big group of knights rushed toward her. She positioned herself to have another round of the fight and raised her sword.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" The knight in the front immediately called when he noticed Viona raised her sword. "We are the knights of the Tang Empire. Look at our armor; we have the same armor!"

When the knight reminded her that, Viona observed their armor carefully before she looked down at her armor. Even though her armor was covered in fresh and dried blood, she could tell that they were wearing the same armor as hers.

Viona nodded her head and lowered her guard. She turned around toward the gate once again. The Captain was relieved that Viona lowered her sword and came to her side. "I saw you from afar, and you were incredible. You killed more knights than my squad in total, I think." Captain Robert complimented Viona.

"Thanks." Viona tonelessly responded as she tried to locate the right spot to hit the gate with the skill. Captain Robert was surprised to hear the woman\'s voice. Who would expect the valiant knight who fought alone in the frontline was a woman.

"I guess we have to wait for General Goldien or General Goran to destroy the gate-" Before Captain Robert could finish his words, he noticed the woman knight\'s shield was glowing in red. Then he witnessed the woman knight slam her shield toward the gate.

Bang!

The deafening noise shook his ears. He could tell that the slam was so strong, but he noticed the gate did not budge. Captain Robert was about to say something when he witnessed the gate shattered into pieces. The cloud dust rose and blocked the view of the city, and his eyes widened in shock.

\'This Empire is crazy. Who knew there\'s someone like her in our rank.\' Captain Robert thought to himself. \'Wait, I thought only low-leveled knights that joined the battle. How can someone like her be a low-level knight?\'

Viona did not know what was in Captain Robert\'s head as she directly entered the city after the gate ruptured. She walked through the cloud of dust, and the city came to her sight. The thorny fences were used on the street into the city, and rows of knights were standing behind the thorny fence.

"Surrender, then you will be spared! Resist, then you will be killed!" Viona yelled toward the knights. Upon closer look, she realized that only the first row was the real knights. Behind the knights were the militia, the civilians with armor and sword. She could tell that with a quick observation. Those people were trembling in fear even though it was just her alone. She just did not know that she was the source of their fear.

The sturdy gate crumbled with one hit, and a female knight in bloody armor suddenly entered the city with a sword that still dripped in fresh blood. That scene alone was enough to deter the civilians who were never holding a sword.

"Throw your weapons, kneel, and put your hands on your head if you want to surrender!" Viona warned them once more. If they did not give, she would not hesitate to charge at them. She had given them a chance to save their lives, and if they wanted to fight to the death, she would give it to them.

Clank!

A civilian threw his sword, kneeled, and then put his hands on the back of his head. "I surrender! Please don\'t kill me!"

"What are you doing? You will be killed by these beasts even if you surrender. Fight for your survival! Don\'t surrender!" The last Captain Knight of Yoram City shouted. However, his shout could not deter the civilians as more and more threw their weapons and kneeled. "I surrender! I have a three years old daughter and five years old son. I don\'t want to die here!"

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

After one surrender, more and more surrendered, throwing their weapons away. Just like that, only the first row of knights remained standing. The Captain Knight bellowed furiously. "If they don\'t kill, then we will kill you! We have fought to protect the city, and you surrender like this? No way! I am going to kill all of-"

Pop!

Before Captain Knight could finish his words, his head exploded. The civilians were screaming in fear as a figure appeared next to Captain Knight. The figure caught the body before it fell, and the crimson flame burned the dead body into nothingness.

The figure looked to the side and asked. "Do you still want to fight, or do you want to surrender?"

The remaining knights immediately threw their weapons and kneeled as well. The civilians might not feel it, but the knights could feel it. The figure\'s aura was too strong for an average like them to handle.

Viona was surprised to see the figure. The figure was Marshal Alton, and she did not expect to see him here. She thought she would just wait in the camp until they met with the Lionax Kingdom and Revolution Army\'s main force.

Marshal Alton turned around and walked toward Viona. When he arrived in front of her, he tapped her left shoulder twice. "You are better than I thought. Maybe Lord Tang can see what I don\'t see in you. Good job!" After saying that, Marshal Alton disappeared.

Then Captain Robert entered the city with his squad… "What are you doing? How could you be that reckless to enter the city alo-" He stopped midway upon noticing the surrendered knights.
