Chapter 94: Clown

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next day.

At dawn.

After a night of noise and chaos, Glory Sand Town finally calmed down.

It could be said to be a mess.

Seven to eight knights and more than ten soldiers had died. There were also many casualties among the townspeople, and the two murderers who caused all this had actually escaped.

!!

It was said that Viscount Samuel was furious. In the end, he could not care less about Mage Richard’s report and the Eldest Prince’s contempt and personally brought people to pursue them. However, after searching for half a night, he could not find any traces. The two of them seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Even Knight Glenn was gone.

It was really a huge humiliation.

In the end, the wily viscount decided to seal this news. He did not post a wanted order but announced that the two murderers and assassins had already been executed to prevent the people in town from being shaken.

In any case, they had fled in a sorry state and definitely did not have the courage to return.

As long as Lost captured the princess, they could go to the capital in exchange for the Eldest Prince’s reward and favor. They did not have to worry about Goethe’s revenge.

Steady.

Due to this mentality, he carefully but carelessly made arrangements.

They sent patrols to ensure that nothing would happen after the chaos.

He hired a pharmacist to treat the crying commoners who were injured last night to prevent too many people from dying from serious injuries and making things too ugly.

Then, he sent out an employment invitation and invited a famous mercenary team from a nearby large city to station for a period of time to make up for the lack of territory power caused by the deaths of several knights.

However, these arrangements were only to guard against local hooligans, unruly people, and bandits.

The Viscount probably never dreamed that the Cathayan would return.

Moreover, he returned so quickly.

Early this morning, at the Glory Sand Port, Knight Fenos was on duty.

The port was filled with logistics and supply trade. It was one of the important economic sources of the Glory Sand Viscounty, so the viscount naturally had to send people to guard it. Fenos looked at the noisy shouts at the dock. A few tugboats and sailors on the shore were working together to drag the remains of a warship out of the dock and clear its location.

Some greedy sailors were thinking about the resources that had sunk into the sea and wanted to go down and salvage them, but they discovered that the bottom of the sea was surrounded by extremely chaotic turbulence and even drowned a few sailors who were very good at swimming.

For a moment, no one dared to go down.

Many corpses floated on the water and were picked up by the salvage ship.

These were the dead people on this ship.

The viscount had already made arrangements. After the salvage was completed, they were immediately gathered and cremated. On the surface, it was to prevent the plague, but in fact, it was to prevent anyone from tracking down the cause of their death.

Because what happened last night had already been decided.

It was a vicious attack by an unknown faction.

This was because an elf’s arrow had been discovered at the scene.

Knight Fenos knew this very well. He knew what had happened last night because he had also participated in the pursuit of the Goethe people. He did not feel anything about this because he had accepted the duty to serve the Viscount. Of course, he had to fight for him. This was fine.

After that, he felt lucky because he had not met the Cathayan and Goethe people from the beginning to the end, and the colleagues who had bumped into him had been killed.

Including Glenn, that arrogant guy.

Knight Glenn was missing, but everyone knew that he was doomed.

He did not expect that guy to die too…

He did not like Glenn, but he recognized this person’s strength. He did not expect that a powerful knight who had awakened his battle aura would die under the sword of the Goethe people. As expected of the Star Knight of Goethe.

As for that Cathayan… what was his name?

He had forgotten that it was very difficult to remember the name of the Cathayan. He only knew that Knight Lost had given that person an evaluation, and then everyone was used to calling that Cathayan…

Clown.

This nickname was quite catchy—he recalled the scene of the clown talking confidently on the dock yesterday and forcing Glenn to lower his head and apologize. He felt that that person’s mouth was quite sharp. From this point of view, he indeed looked like a clown who made a living talking witty words and making the important figures laugh.

But where was he now?

Suddenly, he sensed something and turned around.

On the other side of the road, a cloaked and hooded person walked toward him.

The goal was very clear. It was to walk towards him.

Knight Fenos sighed. The sixth, he thought, had already sent away five idlers who wanted to approach the port today. They either claimed to be merchants or captains. In short, they were concerned about their business—but the viscount had already ordered that no idlers were allowed to approach the dock until the Penguin was settled. No one.

He said indifferently, “Stop, you’re not allowed to pass.”

The cloaked man acted as if he did not hear anything and continued forward, even walking faster.

Knight Fenos frowned. He suddenly had a bad feeling. He pressed the sword at his waist and said sternly, “Stop and lower your hood!”

That person ran quickly towards him.

Fenos’ eyes turned sharp. He reached out and was about to pull out his sword, but in the next moment, the cloaked man suddenly raised his hand and threw something. The wind was ferocious and flew over!

It was an axe!

With a heavy muffled sound, Fenos’ right arm was slashed by the axe. The blade pierced into his flesh, and intense pain assaulted him. He saw the breeze blow the man’s hood, revealing his black hair and the Easterner’s face!

He shouted, “Be care…”

The other party had already rushed over like a lion. His iron elbow swept up and struck his chin!

The sound of bones shattering sounded, and flesh and fragments sprayed out. Fenos clearly saw a battle aura glow appear on the Cathayan’s body. How could a Cathayan cultivate a battle aura? He did not use it last night!

He did not have the time to think carefully. He raised his intact left arm and wanted to block the other party’s attack, but Kang De raised his hand to grab the axe that had cut into the other party’s right arm and twisted it up!

The pain pierced through his bones and his flesh flew. Fenos let out a muffled scream, but the other party had already pulled out his battle axe and slashed at his chest, shoulders, and head!

In a moment, Fenos was slashed into a blood gourd, and the wounds all over his body were extremely terrifying!

“Stop!”

At this moment, a furious shout sounded from behind. Without a word, Kang De circled behind Fenos who was already on the verge of collapse and stuck his neck, using him as a shield in front. When they heard the sound, a few people rushed over. There were guards holding swords. The person in the lead was wearing a robe and holding a staff. He was actually a young mage.

Flames appeared on the mage’s staff. He shouted, “Let go of Knight Fenos!”

Kang De smiled coldly at him and blocked Knight Fenos in front of him. He slowly retreated. He put away his axe, pulled out a dagger from Fenos, and placed it at the other party’s throat.

Its meaning was obvious.

“You’re that clown?”

The mage said, “Holding a hostage is useless to you. No ship can go out to sea here, but you actually dare to return… Surrender immediately and let the viscount punish you for your sins!”

Kang De retreated step by step until he reached the wall. Then, he smiled gently at the other party.

He raised the dagger high.

Then, it pierced into the top of Fenos’ head.

The sharp dagger pierced through the solid skull.

Then, he twisted.

The mage saw the bloody knight’s eyes suddenly roll back and his entire body twitch abnormally. He had never seen such a cruel scene. His face immediately turned pale and he felt his stomach roll.

Kang De kicked Fenos away and jumped forcefully. His battle aura erupted and he flipped up the nearby structure.

These people were shocked by Fenos’ tragic death and only ran to the other party’s side to see if they could be saved. The scene just now made them subconsciously not dare to chase after him.

Such injuries were definitely hopeless.

A guard turned over Fenos’s body with a pale face, wanting to confirm it again, but he saw a strange thing pressed under him, “…What is this?”

Then, there was an explosion and a violent flash.

Their vision was instantly snatched away. The mage subconsciously opened his magic shield. He heard a whistling sound in the air and immediately understood something.

—That guy did not run!

Kang De descended from the sky and stepped on a guard, crushing his body. Then, he swung his axe and split the head of another guard.

Then, he grabbed the last person’s throat and threw him against the wall.

“Die!”

The curse sounded, and the burning flames shot out in a cone and whistled into his face. Kang De raised the Fire Chaser Round Shield and blocked the incoming torrent of flames, then stretched out his hand.

Burning Fire was a relatively low-level spell of the Flame School.

Element Extraction.

The extremely hot flame stream was broken down into pure fire elements. He took away the round shield and used his right hand to support the continuous flames as he approached this mage.

The other party finally recovered his vision from the destruction of the flash bomb and saw that he had lost control of his spell. A fist wrapped in a combat aura shattered the fragile magic shield and struck his stomach.

The mage was knocked to the ground.

“You’re a spellcaster,” Kang De said. “Why didn’t I see you last night? Where did you come from?”

The mage looked at his calm eyes and for some reason, felt a chill run down his spine. His body trembled as he said in fear, “I… I’m Mage Richard’s disciple! We followed him here…”

“You know this knight, so Mage Richard… is with the Viscount?”

The Cathayan continued to ask.

The mage nodded repeatedly.

Kang De nodded. “I see, I see.”

The mage could not help but say, “I… I’m Mage Richard’s disciple. You… you can’t…”

Kang De squatted down and said gently, “Excuse me, have you heard of the Ghost Rider?”

“Ah?” The mage said in a daze, “I… I’ve never heard of it…”

Kang De’s right hand pressed down on his head. “Oh.”

Enchantment—flame.

Target—head.

Raging fire elements poured into the other party’s head. The mage suddenly let out a scream. His skin turned red visibly, and then countless blisters appeared. His eyeballs suddenly expanded. In the end, countless flames surged out of his seven orifices and completely ignited his head.

“As expected, it can be used like this.”

Kang De took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote down as he walked, “Mage Richard, the new enemy, did not attack last night. Now, he’s in the Glory Sand Castle… Ah, I have to change the plan.”

He came to the wall.

A guard he had thrown here cowered.

Kang De glanced at him. “Scream.”

The guard shivered, not understanding what he meant.

“Sigh… natives of the other world, They don’t understand human language.”

Kang De took out a test tube from his tactical vest, opened the stopper, and poured it into the other party’s face.

Dense sulfuric acid.

Intense screams continued to sound. The other party rolled on the ground crazily and shouted.

“Good. Scream a little longer.”

Kang De turned around and left. Before anyone paid attention to this place, he flashed away.

Soon, the sailors and guards discovered the situation here.

The corpse of a knight, a mage, and a few guards.

Their deaths were extremely miserable.

The nearby patrol team rushed over. A knight led the team and 20 elite soldiers looked at the mess on the ground with a gloomy expression, “No one saw the murderer?”

“Yes… yes…”

The sailor who was questioned replied, “I only saw a cloaked person…”

The knight looked around and then at the side. This building was a warehouse. The surrounding houses in the dock area were in a mess. It had been a long time. The murderer had long fled. How could he chase after him?

He had to report it to the Viscount!

He made up his mind and suddenly heard a low rumbling sound.

The knight tilted his head in confusion and asked the soldier beside him, “Did you hear something?”

The soldiers looked at each other.

There did seem to be.

A soldier closest to the warehouse looked at the wall beside him in a daze and hesitated, “Master Knight, this voice seems to be coming from this warehouse…”

The knight asked the person in charge of the port, “What’s in this warehouse?”

The other party replied, “There’s nothing. The port has been sealed for the past two days. There’s nothing, only…”

At this moment, the knight’s expression suddenly changed because he heard the rumbling sound suddenly become intense as if a roaring beast was approaching!

There was a loud bang!

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the wall of the warehouse was suddenly knocked open. A white steel monster rushed out. Its entire body was covered in sharp sword spears!

Kang De stepped on the accelerator and drove the SUV out. The front of the car, the window, and other parts were welded with sharp steel bars and iron plates. They were all attached with sharp enchantments. More than half of the wall of the warehouse had been cut off by him with extraction enchantment, leaving only a thin wall.

After he killed, he did not leave!

Instead, he returned to Earth and took out this car.

This SUV was like a fully armed war beast that instantly rushed into the patrol team. The doors on both sides were welded with sharp long knives. Sharp spears were everywhere in front of the car. The car sped and swung its tail in the empty space beside the warehouse. With just a drift and swing, more than ten soldiers were cut in half. The remaining soldiers were pierced by the spears in front of the car, along with the knight!

Kang De still stepped on the accelerator.

The car roared forward and ran in the direction of the town along the main road of the dock. The spear forest in front of the car was wearing a few bloody corpses and a struggling knight. That knight was wearing armor and there were soldiers blocking in front of him, so he was only pierced and not dead. He struggled with all his might and kept stepping on the ground, trying to stop this violent steel beast by himself.

He saw the person in the car.

Although he did not know what this strange machine was, he recognized the person in the car!

The Glory Sand Knight shouted hoarsely, “C—clown—”

Kang De smiled brightly at him.

The knight waved his arms and pounded on the hood. Kang De shook his head. He took out another shotgun with his right hand and shattered the front window. He raised the gun and struck.

Rubber bullets flew and struck the knight’s head, calming him down. Kang De drove forward. In a short while, he rushed to the center of the Glory Sand Town.

The pedestrians watched all of this in shock.

They looked at the strange steel beast, the corpse skewered on the iron spear, the struggling knight, and the black-haired Cathayan who got out of the car.

Kang De walked to the car.

The knight tried his best to punch him. Kang De shook his head and casually broke an iron spear. He kicked him to the engine and stabbed.

Left hand.

Another iron spear.

Right hand.

Two more.

Legs.

The knight let out a tragic roar and cursed, “You d*mned Cathayan clown…”

Kang De reached into his mouth, pulled out his tongue, and cut it off.

“How noisy.”

He opened the back door and took out two barrels of gasoline.

A bucket was poured on the car, and a bucket was poured on the knight’s body from head to toe.

The knight was still cursing, but he did not understand what he was saying. Kang De patted his cheek and said softly, “I came to the other world to do some cultural export. We have many advanced cultures here. I’ve always wanted to do this. Then let’s start from now… You call me a clown. I like this nickname very much.”

“Then, let’s start from now.”

He smiled and said, “Today, I’ll redefine the clown to you.”

Kang De turned around and shouted at the townspeople who were retreating in fear, “Fellow villagers! My name is Kang De! I’m Cathayan! I came back to do three things! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

He dragged down the locomotive tied to the roof and clicked on the lighter. “Therefore, you can run if you want to. If not, you can stay and wait for death!”

Then, flames rose and flames burned. The Glory Sand Knight’s scream was heartbreaking. He struggled desperately in the flames. Kang De started the locomotive and blew a kiss at the stunned townspeople. “Bye! Those who are hungry can eat when it’s roasted later!”

He twisted the accelerator and the locomotive roared as it sped away.

The news quickly spread.

Not long after, Viscount Samuel’s expression was gloomy as he flew out of the manor with a few knights.

However, what he did not know was that on a hidden tree, Kang De saw all of this with his binoculars.

Old fellow, that was just the appetizer.

Don’t worry, my plan has been arranged.

Now…

He cast his gaze at the quiet and elegant Glory Sand Manor.
