Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 47 Strong Attack

From the fishing village of Oridon to Crow's Nest, you'll pass through a village that the Bloody Baron has a few men guarding. But it's a challenge to put them on guard duty; they usually hide in the tavern drinking.

As for why he was nicknamed the Bloody Baron, Li Wei remembered that when he went out to fight, one of his men kicked over some red dye, and there happened to be a river nearby.

As the story spread, it became increasingly outrageous, eventually earning the nickname "bloody."

But that doesn't matter. Li Wei pulled out his wet, unenchanted scythe, intending to show them what a despicable outsider really is.

It's also a good way to practice stealth, since that's Ash's job. An Ash who can't backstab isn't a good Ash.

The small sickle is a semi-circular hook, a deadly assassination weapon. Just cover a person's mouth, insert it straight into the back of their neck, and gently twist it; it will destroy their brain, and even the King of Hell would have to shake his head in despair.

However, as soon as Li Wei stepped into the village, before he could even find his way around, he saw an armed man holding a chicken in front of a house and kicking over a peasant woman who was pulling at his trousers.

This scene made Li Wei frown. Although he was a bit of a hypocrite, seeing this scene still made him somewhat unhappy.

Sure enough, I can't be a nice guy, but I can't be completely bad either. So what if I'm a double standard? As long as I'm happy, that's what matters.

Just as Li Wei was mentally planning a dramatic way for this guy to die, the guy turned around and saw Li Wei standing there staring at him.

I was going to call out to you what you're looking at, but Li Wei's Asian face was so rare that he changed his mind.

"Brothers, come out quickly! The foreign bastard who killed the two Kiz brothers has appeared!"

Li Wei was suspicious. Who was Kezi? In the world of Witcher, aside from the water ghost, he had only killed two bandits.

Good heavens, it was you guys who killed two brothers. With the old grudge of robbing him still there, Li Wei has another reason to kill them.

However, Li Wei still wanted to practice his backstabbing skills, so he started to play dumb.

"Friends, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just traveling in this country. How about I buy you a drink?"

At this moment, three people came out of the tavern. There were probably many people, and Li Wei wasn't carrying any weapons.

He threw the chicken in his hand aside, drew his long sword and slung it over his shoulder. With a wicked grin, he approached Li Wei and said something to him.

"That's unfortunate, you've traveled to the wrong place. Blame it on the fact that you're all yellow-skinned. Anyway, I'm face-blind, so if we kill you, we'll take your money and go have a drink ourselves."

Things never go as planned, but it doesn't really matter.

Li Wei flashed the same smile, causing the other person to pause in their tracks. A jolt went through them; could this person be some kind of monstrous wizard?

The Easterner pulled out a strange-looking little sickle. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the man raise the sickle behind him, as if to throw it at him. Just as he was about to block it with his sword, everything went black.

Seeing the handle of his small sickle embedded in the other person's face, Li Wei cursed inwardly. He realized he needed to practice how to use throwing knives, otherwise all the throwing knives he had bought would be useless.

Facing the three loudmouths, he drew his street dance sword, crouched down to charge up, and pointed the sword diagonally at the three.

Master Kang once said that killing all the witnesses would make for a perfect assassination, and Li Wei decided to follow suit.

Two craters appeared beneath his feet, and Li Wei shot out like an arrow, soaring seven or eight meters away. Newton was probably turning in his grave. He stabbed one of them with his sword, and before they could even cry out, they began an awkward dance.

With a dagger, he slashed the neck of the man in front of him, twisted his waist twice, and cut the man into three pieces. He then leaped two meters high, spun around in the air, and used his greatsword to cleave the other man, who was blocking with his sword, in half from head to toe.

With a push off the ground, he created a two-meter distance and looked back at the remaining one.

The guy had already thrown his sword aside, and he was running away as fast as he could, yelling "monster!"

What monster? This is the proper Undead Wolf Sword Technique!

Li Wei felt that this guy might not be entirely satisfied with how he died, since being dismembered by a greatsword was a bit gruesome. He put away his street dance sword and pulled out a handful of throwing knives.

Although my accuracy is poor, I can win by sheer quantity.

.........

"You're crazy! Aren't you tired?"

"You should shout, 'We're all crazy! And I can run around with you all day!'"

huh~

A throwing knife flew past two meters away, accompanied by a sonic boom.

Fueled by adrenaline, this guy's legs were swinging like wheels of fire, and he hadn't stopped for two hours.

Li Wei was hanging about 20 meters behind him, constantly throwing him.

As for accuracy, the fact that this guy is still alive says it all.

As he charged towards the crow's nest, a glimmer of hope for survival appeared in his eyes, and he increased his speed once more. However, Li also doubled the speed at which he threw the dagger.

"Help!"

The four guards at the bridge noticed that it was one of their own and immediately rang their alarms, watching warily in the direction Li Wei was walking slowly from. However, the guy who had called for help didn't even stop.

The four guards also noticed that the man's back was covered with daggers; if it weren't for his armor, he would have been dead long ago.

However, with the dagger embedded in the armor, it must have required considerable force. As seasoned veterans, they exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, followed him back.

"Close the city gates immediately!!!"

Li Wei's smiling face fell. This was not what he expected. Shouldn't it have alerted the guards and then a large group of people rushed out to fight him?

What's the meaning of you just backing away like that? Are you not giving me face?

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to launch a direct attack. I changed into the superior knight armor I had taken, walked to the outer gate, listened to the chaotic sounds of fighting inside, and pushed the door open, but it was blocked tightly.

"Grab your spears! Crossbowmen, get ready! If that unlucky fellow is right about cutting people in half, armor and all, this wooden door won't last long!"

A crowd had gathered at the entrance, intending to surprise Li Wei, but Li Wei, looking at the log wall that was no more than three meters high, decided to surprise them instead.

He took two steps back, then climbed over the wall and went inside.

"above!!!"

They were noticed as soon as they peeked out, but the crossbowmen were all aimed at the gate, and it was too late to raise their weapons.

Li Wei leaped and cleaved an unfortunate man in two from the crowd. He then planted his dagger in the ground and spun around with his greatsword, severing the legs of everyone within a three-meter radius. Shorter people were cut in half at the waist.

"Help!"

"monster!!!"

"Don't fight head-on, spearmen!"

He stood up and swung his sword at the spear thrusting towards him, using a cross slash to cut off the spear tip, and then used the second sword to dismember him.

He brandished his greatsword and danced through the crowd, killing anyone who grazed him or touched him. In less than a minute, half of the thirty-odd people were lying dead, their deaths extremely gruesome. The rest threw down their weapons and scattered and fled.

The smarter ones ran towards the houses and hid inside. Li Wei really didn't plan to look for them; it was too much trouble.

Those who ran haphazardly into the fortress, Li Wei guessed, were probably playing hide-and-seek with them inside.

Carrying a greatsword, he arrived at the fortress, tilting his head to dodge the incoming crossbow bolts. The mesh-like gate with steel nails was already closed, and several crossbowmen inside were hurriedly cocking their weapons.

They charged toward the fortress walls, and then, under the disbelieving gazes of the guards on the city tower, they climbed straight up the walls.
