Chapter 61: Rondo Arrives
"Hmph......" Agnus let out a muffled snort of pain, although intuitively Kordak's level was only one level higher than him, but there was a big gap between the physical fitness, nerve reflex speed, age gap, Dou Qi quality, and Dou Qi attribute purity of the two people.
Therefore, although Agnus is a fifteenth-level high-level warrior, he is even more experienced than Kordak. But there is not much suspense in the duel between the two, Cordak is not an overwhelming advantage, but it is far from difficult to fight with Agnus.
Kordaq lifted his thick thigh and slammed a knee into Agnus's chest, and the battered Agnus took a few steps back, and then the old warrior couldn't hold it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Let your warriors go along, you're no match for me. Kordak slung the greatsword over his shoulder, then spread his left hand and said. He sighed: "But if I continue to fight, I will no longer guarantee mercy." ”
"But you can't guarantee complete victory over us. Agnus sighed and said, "I think the most likely outcome is that we will suffer heavy casualties and then subdue Your Excellency." ”
"Do you have to do this?" Kordak admonished, "I don't want to kill the warriors of the Empire. ”
"But it's an order. Agnus said very stubbornly: "If your strength is beyond our ability, we will naturally have a reason to retreat, but now that you don't have this ability, we can only bite the bullet." ”
"You're a knight, aren't you?" asked Kordak helplessly.
"This is the honor I received during the Founding War, in fact, I am also a knight now, I have my own family, this is my family crest. Agnus proudly raised his two-handed sword, and near the hilt of the sword was a shield-shaped insignia of a long sword, either the insignia of his ancestors or the one he had made for himself when he became a knight.
"But because my family doesn't have much background, I can only rely on serving the empire to support my family. Agnus explained, and then asked a little strangely, "How did Your Excellency know?"
"It would be a shame if you don't have a knight of your Excellency's character. Kordak teased, and then he stopped rambling. He raised his two-handed sword, and then said loudly, "I am for my survival, you are for your family." Again, since each of us has a reason to fight, then don't talk nonsense and come to fight!"
"I'm sorry. Agnus, a little ashamed of using such a tactic as bullying the less, bowed his head apologetically, and then said, "All warriors, listen to my orders and attack!"
......
Kordak didn't know how many Hawk Empire soldiers he had slashed and killed, and they could have become good brothers who fought side by side with him, ate and slept together, and could entrust their backs to each other. But now, for some reason, the only thing they want to do is to stab their weapons into each other's bodies. Although Kordak couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't hesitate in the slightest. Because he had to live, he had to find Vera, and for that woman, he could kill a lot of people, if they dared to stand in his way.
But Agnas was not wrong in his prediction, Kordak's individual strength was indeed stronger than any of them, but Kordak was no match for the siege of these dozens of people. New sword scars reappeared on Kordak's already scarred body, most of them shallow, but a few were already visible to the bone.
The increasing scars and the constant drain of physical strength had greatly reduced Kordak's combat effectiveness, and if it had been delayed for another fifteen minutes, a new pursuer would likely have arrived. This time, Kordak was afraid that it would be really difficult to escape.
"Let's give up...... Cordak thought to himself with a wry smile, and at this point, there was nothing he could do. Since it is destined to be impossible to escape, it is better not to add any more senseless killings. As for Vera's question, he could go and ask Regna, but if he ignored it......
Kordak shook his head, he knew Regna's character very well, he might not care about his life or death, but if it was related to Vera, Ragner would still not refuse.
Thinking of this, Kordaq took a step back, and after breaking out of the encirclement, he staggered two steps, but just as he was about to speak, a rough roar rang out from behind him.
"Rondo's coming! Hold on!"
Kordak turned his head in shock, and then saw Rondo rushing towards him menacingly. I don't know what happened to this man, but he didn't look much better than Kordak anyway: his face and armor looked dirty, and his hair was tied in a dead knot with the perfect combination of dust and snow, and if he didn't cut it, he wouldn't want to straighten it out again.
The sudden addition of Rondo was obviously a lifesaver for Kordak, and this big man was even better than Kordak in terms of physical fitness and physical strength. Although the level of fighting spirit and combat spirit are a little weaker, it is still very easy to clean up these pursuers who have suffered heavy casualties.
"Damn, dare to beat the head of your Uncle Rondo like this? You grandsons don't want to live anymore, do you?
Scolding while fighting was a habit that Rondo had for a long time, and he always cursed when he killed enemies on the battlefield. This made Cordak wonder if this guy was also the kind of scum who spits on people while fighting when he was a kid......
Rondo's spectacular appearance apparently stunned everyone, including Kordak. By the time Cordak reacted, Rondo was already fighting Agnas . The middle-aged knight seemed to want to prevent more casualties among his subordinates, so he tried his best to hold back Rondo.
But who is Uncle Rondo? He is the number one fierce general in the independent army, a man who is more fierce than seafood. And Agnas has been seriously injured by Kordaq, and now he is playing against Rondo, who is almost in full form, and the situation can be imagined. So, in just two minutes, Agnas was already in decline, and on two occasions he was afraid that Rondo would have had his head cut off if he hadn't dodged in time.
Rondo was also angry at this time, and the person he admired the most after living for so long was Kordak. After two years of getting along, Rondo has long made up his mind to follow his leader. So seeing that the leader was beaten like this, how could Rondo still show mercy to his subordinates?
He planned to kill them all and then leave with Kordak. And in the current situation, Rondo can do it completely!
"Rondo, stop!" Cordak snapped up.
This saved Agnus's life, as he was beaten to the ground by Rondo's powerful slash. When Kordak spoke, Rondo had already raised his greatsword, which, if it fell, would cut Agnas in half.
"What's the matter, boss?" Rondo turned his head in amazement, and then suddenly realized that this place was not the place to speak, so he raised his greatsword and muttered, "What's the matter, wait until Rondo chops up these pieces first." ”
"I just won't let you cut them down......" Cordak seemed to have known what he would do with Elondo's character. So he quickly added.
"Don't let you cut it?" Rondo put down his greatsword and scratched his head a little strangely, "Why?"
"Anyway, don't let me cut it, you come here!" said Kordak, laughing.
"Oh......" Rondo nodded, and then obediently walked over. After two years of getting along day and night, Rondo had long developed the habit of unconditional obedience to Kordak's orders, so although his head was full of doubts at this time, he still did as Kordak said.
"Thank you, Lord Kordak. Agnas was a veteran of the war, and although his own life had just hung by a thread, he did not look panicked when he stood up, but calmly thanked Kordaq.
"I now have the strength you can't contend with, can you go?" said Kordak coldly, though Rondo's sudden appearance was something he hadn't expected. But since he can be used to make others retreat at this time, it is also a very good choice.
"Boss!" was the first to cry out to Rondo, no matter how idiotic he was, Rondo knew that he couldn't let go of these pursuers: "They know your location, and they will ...... when the time comes."
"I know!" Kordaq was actually struggling internally, for he knew that if Agnus was released, it would be a lot of trouble for them to go back and report the news. But he couldn't bear to let such an upright and kind knight die like this, he also had his own family, and he was also fighting to protect something, so Kordaq was not angry at all that Agnas did it to him. Because as he said, everyone has their own reasons for having to fight, then the reasons are just reasons, there is no right or wrong. There is a reason, just go to the fight.
"......," Rondo said no more.
Agnas looked at the two people not far away, and after estimating that Rondo's strength was far from being able to compete with his own people, Agnas nodded: "We will retreat, but before leaving, I have a question for Your Excellency." ”
"Mr. Agnus, please. ”
"Why did Your Excellency betray the Empire?"
"Because I had to do it for the sake of some people. ”
"Then I respect Your Excellency's choice. I will leave and pledge in my honor not to reveal your whereabouts. ”
"I believe in your reputation. "Kordak is also very pleased with this assurance.
"However, your Excellency had better not let your guard down because of this, for I have heard that His Highness Joffrey is also involved in the hunt for you, and he should be in this area now. ”
"I see, thanks for the reminder. Kordak nodded earnestly.
But just as they were about to leave, two unexpected voices rang out again.
"Oh, I suppose if I had come any later, someone would have let this important fugitive wanted by the Empire go, wouldn't I, Yumir?"
"You are right, Your Highness. ”
