(Volume Three: Eyes of Judgement)

Brass Town, situated southwest of Ice Rock City, derived its name from an underground brass vein.

The local residents in the town are not many, most of them are slaves toiling in the mines.

But now, these slaves who should have been exploited in dark mines wander leisurely through the streets like freemen.

If they weren’t so listless and skinny, there would hardly be any difference between them and the freemen.

The reason for this situation is not that the mine owners had a crisis of conscience and whimsically gave the slaves a holiday, but because the mine owners had fled.

They had to flee, else they would lose their lives.

All the commoners in Brass Town with a bit of savings have also fled, let alone the town’s officials and mine owners.

Under the ravage of famine, Brass Town has now become a powder keg. The starved slaves wouldn’t care about the supervisor’s whip anymore – they were on the verge of death by starvation, how could they still work?

So, the starving slaves launched a rebellion. They smashed their shackles, killed the supervisors, drove away the town’s defense army, and successfully seized the town.

After this rebellion, the once prosperous town gradually became desolate and oppressive.

The slaves, their eyes turned green from hunger, began to rummage the town for anything they could stuff into their bellies.

But they were still hungry!

At this time, a few slave leaders were gathered in a tavern in the town center.

They must solve the food problem, otherwise, this town will indeed become a ghost town.

“You said you can find food?” A slave leader looked at the stranger across from him and asked cautiously.

Sael nodded confidently, “Of course, as long as you listen to me, you can surely sate your hunger.”

“Then where can we find food?”

Sael pronounced each word: “Ice Rock City!”

The slave leaders were stunned, then burst into laughter.

“Kid, are you playing us?”

“That’s the nobles’ castle! There are knights in there!”

“Not only knights, but a large army, too. Are you asking us to go there to die?”

Facing everyone’s skepticism, Sael remained calm and slowly raised a finger:

“Firstly, the army in Ice Rock City is not large. Most of the Angler family’s private army was laid to rest on the Sky Ice Plain, and the rest was taken to Silver Moon City by Viscount Angler.

Although a batch of new soldiers was enlisted, their combat power is weak.”

Without waiting for the slave leaders to rebut, Sael raised another finger:

“Secondly, Viscount Angler is not in the city at the moment. Of the three knights in the city, one followed him to Silver Moon City, another was sent to quell the rebellion in Ice Lake Town, leaving only one knight guarding Ice Rock City.”

The slave leaders looked at each other, seemingly somewhat moved.

A triumphant smile appeared on Sael’s face as he raised another finger: “Thirdly, I have already coordinated with the slaves in the city. They will launch a rebellion tomorrow night!

So, what are you still afraid of?”

At this point, the slave leaders couldn’t sit still, and commenced discussing among themselves.

In the end, one of the slave leaders suddenly asked Sael: “Why should we believe you?”

Sael spread his hands: “Do you have any other choices? Either you stay in Brass Town and gnaw on ore, or go to Ice Rock City with me and take a chance!”

These words finally changed the faces of most of the slave leaders, a flame of ambition ignited in their eyes.

After fierce debate, the slave leaders finally reached a consensus:

“Fine, we’ll go with you!”

The faint light of dawn slowly seeped out from the east, gradually tearing up the darkness shrouding the earth.

The dim light reflected on the snow-covered ground, shimmering with crystalline brilliance.

The slaves of Brass Town had gathered in the north of the town before dawn, starving and eager to head to the place promised by their leaders—a place filled with food!

Seeing more than five thousand slaves gathered behind him, Sael was filled with ambition.

Like a true general, he pointed towards Ice Rock City and commanded loudly:

“March!”

Unfortunately, the weak response from the slaves made his performance somewhat ridiculous.

Yet, this little embarrassment couldn’t extinguish the flame of ambition in Sael’s heart.

He felt like a true lord, leading an army that belonged to him, marching towards glory and victory!

However, before they could go far, the ground started to tremble slightly.

The grasses began to sway, and the dewdrops fell one by one, finally sinking into the soil.

The quivering of the earth became more severe, the leaves of the grass broke off one by one, fell helplessly, and tightly stuck to the earth.

Clatter clatter clatter…

It seemed as if rolling spring thunder had split the ground, as if a raging flood was surging.

The dry wild grass and shattered gravel on the earth were trembling as if boiling water had started to bubble.

The continuous sound of galloping hooves came from afar, as if ripping the entire earth apart.

Sael turned around abruptly, only to see countless shadows suddenly appearing from the east, immediately covering the whole earth without leaving a single crack.

The sky and earth changed color, and even the just-risen sun was blocked by the black flag.

The dense cavalry, with an overwhelming momentum, swept towards the slave rebel army of Brass Town!

The tall war horses did not care about the existence of wild grass and gravel at all, galloping freely on the land still covered with a thin layer of snow.

The un-melted snow shattered under the hooves and shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

Whoo

The harsh sound of the military horn rang out, giving the command to attack!

In an instant, Sael felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his mind went blank, and he stood there stupidly, as if he had become an ice sculpture.

The ambitions, resentments, dreams, and the beautiful figure buried deep in his memory, in front of the earth-shattering cavalry charge, all melted away like ice and snow.

“It’s the lord’s army! Run!”

In the face of such an offensive, the slave rebel army didn’t even dare to think about resistance and scattered in panic.

However, such behavior was no different than committing suicide.

Even if each of these slaves was given two extra legs, they could not outrun the charging cavalries.

“Kill!”

Countless cavalrymen roared, rushing into the slave rebel army like wolves among sheep, and a bloody slaughter began.

Blood flowed freely, skulls flew in all directions.

In front of the unstoppable force of the Dark Cavalry, the five thousand rebel slaves were no different from five thousand pigs.

Colin casually cut down a rebel soldier who seemed to have been dumbfounded by the charge of the Dark Cavalry.

It was not until the soldier’s head was flying in mid-air, illuminated by the faint morning light, that Colin suddenly realized that the head looked somewhat familiar

Wasn’t this man the one who was always filial to his parents?

With a cold smile in his heart, Colin did not hesitate at all and galloped forward.

It was as if he had just casually crushed an ant.
