our family is gone

Chapter 766: A surprise attack by fast horses, taking advantage

"Don't move, just stay still and nothing will happen."

The other soldiers at the door were also controlled almost at the same time. They were really not on guard at all. Years of stability had made them lose their vigilance.

Faced with knives and guns pointed at him, he had no intention of resisting at all. With only this little money a month, why would he risk his life?

After controlling those guys, they immediately sent people to rush to the high place and hang up a bright red curtain as a signal.

After hearing the signal, a scout outside immediately turned around and ran to find the cavalry hiding in the distance, while another one went to notify the infantry...

"They succeeded, now it's our turn, let's go!"

After receiving the news, Reynard, who was waiting outside, immediately led his cavalry to charge without much hesitation.

The most important thing about this plan is speed, so fast that those people cannot react. This way, we can control the situation before the enemy reacts.

Just like this group of cavalrymen galloped wildly, their figures pointed directly at the town like sharp swords, without any concealment at all, their main focus was speed.

After the infantry received the news, they also began to march quickly. The neat formation was not in disarray at this time, and everyone moved forward at once...

"coming!"

The soldier who climbed to a high place to give the signal also saw the smoke and dust raised by the cavalry and immediately signaled downwards.

The soldiers who were trying to seize the gate finally stopped disguising themselves, quickly tied up a few soldiers, and then took out their equipment from the vehicle.

There must have been many people near the gate who noticed this scene, but they did not dare to step forward. Instead, they quickly ran towards the town, perhaps shouting something.

"The bandits are coming!"

"Run away!"

"..."

Chaos had begun to spread, and no one tried to retake the gate, so they just left it to the soldiers.

These guys have been living in peace for too long that they were not prepared for war at all, and had no reaction at all when the attack came.

In order to conceal their whereabouts, the cavalry seemed to be far away, but with the bonus of the light cavalry charge, they soon appeared here and rushed directly into the wide open gate.

The noise made by hundreds of cavalrymen charging at full speed was so loud that it caused a lot of panic among people as soon as they rushed in.

As soon as they came in, they shouted loudly.

"The lord of this place has colluded with a cult to rebel, and Hamlet's army has arrived to suppress the rebellion!"

"Everyone go home immediately, without any harm!"

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Directly label these guys as rebels and colluding with cults. In any case, we should occupy the public opinion first. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not.

Fortunately, these people did not dare to step forward to intercept them. Most of them scattered and fled away from the place. Only a few brave ones dared to hide in the buildings and secretly spy on the charging cavalry.

Long before arriving, everyone had already identified the buildings in the town and knew the route to go.

"Go and capture that noble and control the situation. Be quick and kill anyone who stands in your way!" Reynard waved his hand and sent half of the cavalry to control the local nobles, while he led the rest straight into the church.

The cavalry galloped wildly in the town, scaring the ordinary people so much that they crawled and tried to escape from there, but they were not stopped.

But as a noble mansion, there are still guards, and their equipment is quite good. After all, it is related to their own safety. Their quality is also better. They have formed a formation when they sensed the chaos.

Can you see that they are wearing armor and holding halberds? Even if they encounter the enemy, they can organize a defense line to stop them...?

The charging cavalry saw the gathered halberd soldiers from afar. The rows of halberds combined with the dense formation could indeed block the cavalry, but Hamlet's cavalry were not traditional.

"be careful of bombs!"

After one man shouted, he threw several bombs directly from horseback. Before the guards could react, the continuous explosions caused the formation to collapse.

The fragments may not be able to tear through their armor and cause fatal injuries, but the shock is enough to make these guards dizzy and confused, and the bloodstains scattered on the ground also show that the damage is not small.
At this time, a charge directly defeated them, leaving only the guards lying on the ground. The blood that gradually began to spread showed that the shouting just now was not a joke.

One cavalryman dismounted, picked up their weapons and rushed into the building, while the other troop hovered around to prevent anyone from escaping and, of course, to prevent rescue from outside.

"Bang bang bang!"

Sporadic gunshots were heard in the building, and finally the guards who were able to stand fell down. They also seized the mansion and controlled the local leader.

At this time, no rescue force could be organized outside.

There was no way. The cavalry was too fast, and with their efficiency they had no time to react.

On the other side, Leonard also rushed straight to the church in the middle of the town.

"Disperse those people. If you notice anything unusual, don't hold back. These people are almost as irrational as the cultists.

The rest of you follow me in and capture those people!"

Leonard rushed to the front and spoke blatantly and treasonously when he got closer.

Because he had been fooled by the church, he knew clearly that those fanatical believers had no fear of life or death, but they were only a minority. Most people lived in a muddle-headed way and preferred to shrink when their own interests were not involved.

Therefore, as long as the clergy in the church were cut off from the outside world, and without anyone to take the lead in inciting them, most of the so-called believers would simply stay at home to avoid the war.

Leonard led dozens of riders and rushed towards the main gate of the church. He did not seem to feel any pressure at all and did not care about his former identity at all.

Or maybe it was his original identity that made him so decisive!

The church in this small town is not very powerful. Intelligence also shows that there are only a dozen of them, and the rest are believers.

Among them were two priests who could perform divine magic, some Crusaders as guards, and the rest were ordinary people.

The disturbance caused by the cavalry should have been noticed long ago, but what was strange was that the church did not react at all and just left its doors wide open.

If Hamlet's school had been invaded, they would have closed the gates and distributed weapons to the young men who had received militia training to guard the school.

As expected, he lost his ability to react in a safe environment, but what was even more outrageous was that someone actually came out and scolded Leonard and others who broke in.

"How dare you storm the church! Could it be..." A man in monk's robes hurried out, and before he could finish his words, Reynard swung his sword and knocked him to the ground, without even stopping.

The man fell to the ground, holding his chest with his hands. His face turned red and he started coughing violently. It was obvious that he had a stitch in the side. He almost suffocated himself. Only after he exhaled did his complexion improve slightly.

It was because Reynald held back and hit him with the blade of his sword, otherwise he would have been broken into two halves on the spot. However, his mind was in a mess at the moment, and he could not care about the cavalry rushing in.

It’s no wonder that people in the church are so outrageous, because you yourselves are shouting slogans about suppressing rebellion and eradicating cults.

You must know that the church will not get involved in the struggles between the nobles, and the nobles will not offend the church. This is a rule tacitly accepted by both parties. Who would have thought that you would not abide by the rules!
The sword just now also made the man feel scared. He glanced at the cavalry outside, then looked at the people who had already broken into the church, and simply lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead!

There was no way to stop them. Leonard and his group rushed in on horseback. After crossing the open space in front, they dismounted and went directly into the main building.

The malice he showed just now was clearly revealed, so how could the clergy of the church not react?

The remaining crusaders had already put on armor and were holding swords in the front. Behind them were two monks wearing more refined monastic robes than the previous one. On the steps in the background was a group of nuns in plain clothes.

It's hard to say what the configuration of this team is. There are a few crusaders and a priest, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, as well as magic to heal.

Although the last ones were not combat nuns, an indescribable feeling emerged when they chanted something during the ceremony.

Those people all gained an increase in divine power; this is the church's confidence!

However, one can imagine the strength of the cultivators who can be arranged in such a small place. Even if one plus one equals three, it is no more than one hundred.

Leonard entered the scene without giving them any time to react, and rushed forward with sword in hand.

Those crusaders wanted to stop him, but the legendary Leonard showed his terrifying strength at the first move.

The seemingly bulky body showed far more flexibility than that of an ordinary person. The long sword in his hand was swung and it cut off the long swords of those guys directly when it touched them. It was so exaggerated. This was the fate of an ordinary long sword meeting the legendary long sword [Final Holy War].

Leonard did not kill them indiscriminately. After cutting off their swords, he hit the helmets of those guys with the end of the hilt, causing them to fall to the ground in dizziness.

Judging from the dented helmet and the oozing blood, lying down came at a price, and they fell so quickly that the two monks didn't know whether they should save them or attack.

Then, one of them cast holy light on the fallen Crusader Knight, and the other sent a flash of light at Reynard.

It was even more ridiculous to use divine magic on him. Do you know where this ancient armor he was wearing came from? It was taken from a legendary knight of the church.

As for the Flash, did you know he has the Daylight Ring on him?

Not to mention that your holy light is really terrible, repent in the sun!
Reynard raised his sword in front of him, and the next second the sword burst into light like the scorching sun...

Most of the cavalry spread out and wandered around the church, casting cold glances at anyone who dared to approach.

"Oh! My holy light!"

"No! You can't do this!"

"Evil guy..."

But as Leonard said, their approach to the church immediately caused dissatisfaction among some people, and they raised all kinds of accusations towards the cavalry.

Especially after seeing Leonard knock down the monk with a sword and break in, they became even more angry, even though they didn't know that no blood was seen.

The power of faith is very strong. When those fanatical believers saw this scene, it was as if what was broken was not the church, but their home.

"The Holy Light will punish you!"

"Go to hell!"

"Ahhhh!"

Amidst these angry shouts, the first person to rush out was not a young man, but an old man.

You have to know that young people are the most crazy, but don’t forget that the old guys are the most stubborn and craziest.

The reason is very simple. For old people who don't have much time left, they have endured half of their lives' suffering just to go to the sacred place to enjoy themselves.

The Ascension Sect emphasizes ascending to heaven and not being afraid of death. Similarly, the church also has the concept of entering the Kingdom of God after death, which is vaguely similar.

All I can say is that everyone is pretty much at the same level when it comes to religion, and everyone is just copying each other.

Under the instigation of the old man, the others were also ready to move, especially the young people, who were quite determined to join the holy war as Leonard had been when he was recruited by the church.

The cavalry had fought with the cultists before, so they were not surprised by their fanaticism and would not be frightened at all, not to mention that Leonard had already warned them and gave them permission to do so.

A round of gunfire caused several old guys to fall down. They did not have the twisted and painful flesh and blood strength of the cultists. The wailing and screaming and the spreading blood immediately intimidated those guys, and their original trend of moving forward suddenly turned into retreating.

However, just as the cavalry was reloading, a blond old man among the people staggered to his feet.

In the previous round of shooting, everyone else fell, but the bullet aimed at him just grazed his right ear. Although blood stained half of his face, it did not hurt any vital parts.

This situation made the old man even more fanatical. He believed that he was unique and protected by the holy light, so he clenched his fists, waved his hands and shouted.

"I'm fine! The Holy Light is protecting me!"

"We will not surrender to evil!"

"Keep fighting! For the Holy Light!"

The man shouted encouragingly, and the blood on his face made him look even more crazy, but the believers were fooled by him, and their originally retreating steps were suddenly controlled by fanaticism, and they all launched an attack on the cavalry.

Just a few steps later, another gunshot rang out, and the blond old man who had been shouting just now burst into blood from his chest, and he fell to the ground...

The cavalrymen were a little confused as to why these people were so excited just because a shot missed the target.
You have to know that the accuracy of a musket is average, and a pistol is even lower than a rifle. Basically, only sharpshooters can accurately aim within ten yards, and it's already amazing if they can aim within five yards.

Not to mention that these cavalrymen were firing on horses and aiming at moving targets, so missing the target was purely a matter of probability. How could it be linked to the Holy Light?
These soldiers are basically young and have received education from Lance, so they don't buy into this at all.

If one shot doesn't kill, shoot again.

But now it seems that I don’t know whether your holy light has chosen you, but my bullet has chosen you.

The death of that person made the originally tense situation suddenly become awkward. Should he go forward or not?

Fortunately, they didn't need to make a choice, because Leonard had already finished and walked out.

Church, take it!
