Chapter 153: The Seizure of Parn's Family
Chapter 153: The Seizure of Parn's Family
Campbell Dao stood there like a stone pillar, looking at Rodburg. He was nearly 3 meters tall, as majestic as a hill. He stood beside a huge rock, naked, without armor, with clear and exaggerated muscle lines all over his body. He had an expressionless face and cold eyes, giving people an indescribable coldness.
The defenders of Rodburg watched him nervously on the city wall. The huge figure made them feel uneasy. At such a height, was the other party really a human being?
They saw Campbell whisper a few words to an officer beside him, who nodded and then shouted to the city wall: "Lord Campbell promises that those who surrender will not be killed!"
This sentence caused a commotion among the soldiers on the city wall.
"They didn't bring any siege weapons, so there's no need to be afraid!" The captain of the city defense team immediately swallowed his saliva and encouraged everyone.
Then he shouted down below:
"We swear to be loyal to Lord Parn until death and will never surrender!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Campbell bending down. Just as he was wondering, the other party growled, suddenly grabbed the huge rock beside him, exerted force suddenly, and threw the stone towards the city wall.
The boulder drew an arc in the air and came crashing down with a whistling sound. Before the captain could even scream, he was hit and smashed into a pool of mud, blood and flesh. The defenders who witnessed this were immediately terrified and no longer wanted to resist, so they surrendered one after another.
When Campbell entered the city, all the surrendered soldiers knelt there to greet him. He glanced at everyone coldly and took steady steps, and every step seemed to step on their hearts.
After a while, a handsome young man in white suddenly rode up to him on horseback.
"We are late~" the boy said, "Paen's mother and sister have been picked up by Alia first."
"Then chase him." Campbell said in a low voice.
But the young man shook his head and said:
"Impossible. They've been gone for a while. No normal person can catch up with them."
"Frande, am I a normal person?"
The young man named Fland smiled and shook his head. Soon everyone saw Campbell riding his equally ridiculously large black horse out of the city again...
A carriage was moving rapidly among the woods, escorted by Alia and her Fire Rose Guards.
Everything was done just in time. They had taken the lead in rescuing the Parn family before Campbell's army arrived. Now, as long as they were safely sent back to Candlekeep, the North Fortress would at least be stable. Suddenly, she heard a roar similar to that of a wild beast behind her, accompanied by the sound of heavy horse hooves approaching. Just as Arya was thinking this, she suddenly heard a roar like that of a wild beast behind her. When she looked back, she saw Campbell riding alone like a wild beast. This made her very surprised. The other party's speed was very fast, almost beyond her imagination, and the equally exaggerated was the huge body. Not only was the man huge, but the horse was also ridiculously large. It was no exaggeration to say that he was an orc.
However, Alia did not have time to think about this. She made a prompt decision and shouted:
"Fire Rose Guards, escort the carriage away, I will stop him!"
Then he turned to face Campbell, drew his sword, and rushed forward as well.
Campbell's horse rushed to Arya like thunder, but his subsequent actions surprised Arya. He suddenly jumped off the horse and punched. Arya was shocked by this outrageous attack, but she did not hesitate with her fighting instinct. She sent out her sword at the same time. The sword collided with the opponent's fist, and the tip of the sword pierced into the opponent's flesh, and then broke under the impact, turning into several fragments and piercing into Campbell's fist. But the fist did not stop, but directly hit Arya's mount, hitting the horse's head firmly. The horse let out a tragic neigh and staggered to the ground.
Arya was shocked and immediately jumped back, getting away from her horse before it fell. Then she rolled on the ground, put some distance between herself and the opponent, and drew out the halberd behind her.
Looking at Campbell again, his hands were covered in blood, but he seemed fine and didn't care about his injuries at all.
What kind of monster is this? Alia wondered.
The two of them were facing each other, and the air was filled with tension. Then Campbell roared again, and rushed towards Alia, punching like a hammer. However, Alia was not to be outdone. She was agile, quickly dodged sideways, and thrust out her halberd, aiming directly at Campbell's side.
What surprised her even more was Campbell's reaction. When the halberd was about to pierce his abdomen, he suddenly grabbed the halberd blade. The sharp blade was still cutting his palm, but he did not move.
Arya was surprised again, but the other party did not give her too much time to think. Campbell suddenly shouted, and then he lifted Arya and her halberd over his head with one hand, and then smashed her to the ground!
The girl screamed and forced herself to let go, her body hitting the ground heavily. She felt a pain in her back, then gritted her teeth and rolled a few times, barely releasing the force.
When he stood up again, he saw Campbell holding his halberd, with his hands cut by countless wounds. Then he threw the halberd far away, and it fell into the woods and disappeared.
"You have no weapons left." Campbell said in a low voice, "Hand him over or die."
What kind of monster is this? Alia couldn't help but frown. She was sure that the other party was definitely not human, or had some strange bloodline. What were her chances of winning against such a monster? But no matter what, she had to hold Campbell back, and the Parn family must not be lost. Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly. There was no other way, so she had to use that trick.
Thinking of this, she suddenly pulled out a grenade from behind her. This was a trial product that Carl had made before he was kidnapped. She didn't make many at the time, just a few. She was very foresighted to carry one with her. She didn't expect that she would actually have the chance to use it. Thinking of this, she lit the fuse with a tinder.
"What else do you want to do?" Campbell did not attack her but just looked at her coldly, as if he felt that she was no longer a threat.
And this would become his biggest mistake.
"I'll give you a taste of what's in store for you!" Seeing that the fuse was almost burned out, Alia threw the grenade at the other party.
Campbell looked at the flying grenade, then caught it and was about to watch when there was a loud "boom". The huge explosion and shock wave sent his huge body flying, and countless fragments continued to pierce his body.
After the explosion, Campbell fell to the ground in the smoke, his body pierced by various iron pieces, and his right hand was blown away. The forest was filled with smoke, but there was no sign of Alia.
"Cough... cough..." He coughed up some blood, then muttered to himself, "What is that?"
He didn't know how long it had been before he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, followed by Farand's anxious voice:
"Lord Campbell is injured, military doctor, call the military doctor!"
