Chapter 600: 598 destruction_1
“First squadron, North City, Mufaka!”
“Second squadron, South City, Axum!”
“Third squadron, South City, Skarte!”
“Fourth squadron, East City, Mijadi!”
…
Standing at the fork in the road at the city gate, the Knight Logh was dispatching troops to carry out the cleaning mission with a list in his hand.
As per Colin’s request, after he entered the city, he did not want to see any noble troll still alive on that list.
Then, Knight Logh dispatched two more teams to take control of the sacred place of the Troll Tribe – White Wolf Tower, and the power center of the Troll Empire – Royal Palace.
The sky gradually darkened, but the slaughter in the Troll Royal City had just begun.
Squadrons of Blood Knights tore down the wide streets on their warhorses, mercilessly dispersing any trolls who dared to stand in their way.
In fact, they encountered less resistance than expected after entering the city.
The state of the Troll Tribe had truly reached its last gasp. In the entire Troll Royal City, there were hardly any young people between the ages of twenty and thirty-five left. Aside from women, children, elderly, and the infirm, the rest were stricken with disease and disability. This made the Blood Knights feel a diminished sense of honor in conquering the capital of their archenemy.
It felt like they were bullying a weak opponent who couldn’t fight back.
But in reality, just four or five years ago, the Troll Empire was still a formidable enemy that the North Territory went all out against. Even in history, during its prime, the Troll Empire came close to seizing Winterfell City on a few occasions.
But now, at long last, they galloped through the streets of the Troll Royal City, trampling their former foes underfoot.
Boom!
The iron gate of a grand manor was blasted open by the Blood Knights, and chaos ensued inside.
A tall, majestic-looking troll forced himself to stand in the face of fear and yelled:
“What do you think you’re doing? I am Prince Mufaka Volkin of the Troll Empire’s West! Where is Count Angler? Take me to see him!”
“You are Mufaka Volkin?” A military officer from the Blood Knights walked over with his blood-dripping sword.
“Yes. I demand treatment as a defeated noble, I demand…”
Swipe!
Once the officer confirmed his identity, he unhesitatingly sliced off his head, paying no heed to any noble rights.
The trolls left in the manor stared in dumbfounded shock at Prince Mufaka turned into a headless corpse that they forgot to scream.
“Kill all the males, leave the females!”
With one order, the Blood Knight soldiers immediately rushed into the manor. Shouts of killing and screaming rose all around.
Similar scenes played out in turn at all the manor houses of the Troll Royal City’s nobility. The once haughty troll nobles fell under the merciless blades of the Blood Knights like helpless lambs.
Of course, the Blood Knights did not massacre all the high-ranking trolls; as long as they were not on the “death list,” the knights left them untouched.
However, those high-ranking trolls had no knowledge of this. They hid in their manors and passed the night in anxiety and fear.
The White Wolf Tower and the Royal Palace fell easily into the control of the Blood Knights, but Knight Logh did not sweep through these two places. He was not authorized and had to wait for Colin to arrive to take further action.
Since there was not much resistance, the Blood Knight Army took less than three hours to gain complete control over the Troll Royal City.
The ruckus in the city gradually settled down, and the trolls hid in their homes, peeping at the patrolling Blood Knights on the streets, anxiously waiting for an unknown fate.
No one in the Troll Royal City slept this night.
…
The next morning.
Colin finally arrived at the Troll Royal City with the rest of his troops.
He stood outside the city gate on his white horse, looking at the lofty city wall, feeling a sense of nostalgia.
He remembered the last time he led his army to this city, where he cunningly took out the previous Troll Emperor, Modo the Second, but failed to enter the city.
But this time, he had finally wished to enter the heart of the Troll Empire.
This empire which had been entangled with the North Territory for thousands of years, had finally lowered its arrogant head before him.
“Enter the city!”
Colin lightly touched the horse’s belly and entered the city.
The streets of the Troll royal city were quite empty.
The bloodstains from the slaughter last night had not yet been cleaned up, and the smell of blood in the air was very thick.
“Have all the trolls on the list been killed?” Colin asked the incoming Logh Knight.
“Yes, sir.”
“Good.”
Colin slowly moved forward, looking around at this rough, even ugly city in human aesthetics.
He could clearly feel the eyes from the shadows, perhaps in the eyes of these onlookers, he was the most terrifying demon in this world.
However, Colin was not shaken by this.
The upcoming “transformation plan” for the Troll Empire was bound to be written with more blood and corpses, but it was for longer-lasting peace and stability.
Upon arriving in front of the White Wolf Tower, Colin looked up at this holy land of faith in the hearts of the trolls. His expression was indifferent as he nodded to the Logh Knight next to him:
“Begin.”
The Logh Knight took the command and quickly heard the neighing of the war horses and the creaking of the wood breaking.
This magnificent building dedicated to the God of War, swaying like being drunk, finally fell completely to the north.
Boom!
In the midst of the huge rumbling noise, dust and smoke rose, completely obscuring the sky within a hundred meters.
The imprisoned troll witch doctors stared blankly at the scene before their eyes, thinking they were in a nightmare—a nightmare.
But soon, they woke up, and screamed at Colin as if they were crazy:
“Demon! You demon! Divine punishment will come soon!”
Of course, Colin didn’t care about the so-called divine punishment, he pointed at the group of witch doctors coldly, ordering:
“Kill them all.”
“Yes!”
Fresh blood quickly converged into streams, flowing on the holiest land of the Troll Empire.
The collapse of the White Wolf Tower was gradually discovered by the nearby troll commoners. Some crazy believers charged towards the Blood Knight Army, trying to make the humans pay for their blasphemy, but unfortunately, the ones who ended up paying the price were those overconfident trolls.
Colin ignored the small disturbance in the city, these unorganized troll commoners could not cause much trouble to the Blood Knight Army.
Whipping his horse lightly, Colin continued to move forward.
He arrived outside the Troll Royal Palace.
It had to be said, this magnificent palace was the most eye-catching building in this ugly city.
“Is it all cleared inside?” Colin asked the Logh Knight beside him.
“Yes, Count, it’s all cleared out.”
“Good, burn it all.”
“Yes!”
This day was destined to be the darkest day in the history of the Troll Clan.
Countless desperate trolls, watched the devil from the North Territory, completely destroy their two most sacred buildings.
And the destruction of these two buildings seemed to be just the beginning. The faith symbolized by the Troll Clan and the glory of this ancient empire will also, under the devil’s control, step by step towards collapse.
