Chapter 322: Escape
Leonard watched in horror as Soth easily grasped the fingers of his sword, his shoulders trembled, he shook his head desperately, and muttered to himself:
"It can't be—it can't be, how could you—how could you—"
"How could you grab a sword with all your bare hands?" Soth asked him with a teasing smile, and then his fingers slammed back, and Leonard's whole body flew out along with his sword, and he sat on the ground with his ass on the ground, stretched out his two hands, and stared at them incredulously.
He felt as if he had returned to his infant days, a helpless child, with no resistance to the tremendous force that Soth had conveyed, how could this be possible?
Leonard felt that he was about to go crazy, he obviously did not have the magic of being cast and weakened, and he did not enter a weak state, but he was blown away by someone with his fingers, looking at the sneer on Bruno's face behind Soth, Leonard instantly understood that he might still be too naïve.
His captain has never been a reckless man, if he can really defeat the tall "giant" in front of him, he will never surrender on his knees, and judging from his previous performance, it can be concluded that Soth's strength is unfathomable!
Leonard couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth, he just fantasized about the good life of becoming the captain, and put too many ethereal fantasies into it, but he didn't seriously analyze the strength of Soth, if he could be more serious, he might not attack so rashly.
But it was too late, and Soth stepped forward, bent down slightly, picked up the sword on the ground, and flipped the sword up and down with one hand, as if it were not a murderous weapon, but some interesting toy.
He glanced at the door of the inn not far away, the light was on, Soth remembered how long it had been since he had been out, but he didn't think it would be long, he didn't want Sasha and Gusin to wait, so he simply stepped forward, withdrew his sword, and pressed the tip of his sword against Leonard's throat, who was lying on his back.
The voice was low and deep, and it only spread in a limited area in this dark alley, and Soth whispered:
"Give me all your money, and all your companions behind you. ”
Leonard has recognized the difference in strength between the two, or that sentence, the feelings of any bystander are not worth one ten-thousandth of the parties, Leonard also felt incredible and funny when he saw Bruno surrender, but when it was his turn, things changed, he seemed to have become Bruno in the eyes of others, and before he could fight, he fell to the ground and admitted defeat.
"Okay, my lord, please, please don't kill me!" Leonard tugged at himself as if he was going to turn his panties out, and his voice trembled as he wagged his tail at Soth, begging for mercy, Ken Ball, he didn't want to kill himself.
"No problem – I'm not interested in taking people's lives. Soth looked like he was talking, and he reached out and pointed at his companions behind Leonard.
"And those of yours, don't forget to ask them to hand over the money too. ”
"When—of course! it's the way it should be! No problem!" Leonard hastily responded, turning his head and putting on a stern look as if he were now the leader of the group, forgetting how he had laughed at his former captain, Bruno.
Bruno stood behind Soth, watching Leonard perform mockingly, and the mercenaries all looked at each other in confusion, these two people obviously hadn't fought Soth much, how did they become like defeated dogs, wagging their tails and begging for their new master, this guy - could this guy be a demon?
This was the common thought in everyone's hearts, and their steps began to retreat, and some of them threw away their swords, and there was a not-so-obvious "choking" sound in the alley, which was the sound of swords falling to the ground.
Leonard was in a hurry, and he yelled at his former companions, "Don't run—damn it, where are you going!"
But no one listens to Leonard's orders anymore, or no one has ever listened to them, everyone used to obey Captain Bruno, but now everyone obeys their own inner decisions, but when they need to gather together to resist Bruno just now, they will jointly obey Leonard, the best among the remaining people, Leonard has not seen through this until now.
The mercenaries began to flee with their armor thrown away, and they had already understood that the person in front of them was not something they could deal with, even if they could gather the strength of all of them, because the former captain and the vice-captain had fallen strangely and inexplicably in front of this man, licking each other's shoes like dogs.
They didn't want to lose their lives, and they didn't want to be defeated by the enemy like this, so after giving themselves a simple explanation in their hearts that the other party would know the demon law, the group of people fled.
They threw the swords and long knives they once relied on to live on the ground while running, and some of the guys who were extremely desperate for their lives even took off their protective armor, just to be able to run in front of others, facing a demonic beast may not be terrible for them, but facing a guy whose ability and strength are all unknown, and hitting the strong man in his mind, it is definitely enough to make people scared to this extent.
"Oh, yes, I can't just let you run. Soth carried Leonard's sword and tapped the hilt of his sword on his head a few times, his face relaxed as if he didn't care about the mercenaries escaping.
"My lord—I'll get them back for you—" Bruno saw the moment and immediately stepped forward, kneeling on the ground and begging Soth to let him take all of his former men back for him.
Soth looked at Bruno lying on the ground with some distress, and he wondered if all these mercenaries were so afraid of death, and were they serious patients with persecution paranoia?
He never said that he wanted to kill them, why did they plead with him more actively than one by one not to kill them, he just wanted to rob them of a little money, he didn't plan to kill them at all, he didn't understand it in Sanavria, he didn't want to get into a life lawsuit so easily, although he was sure that the law here might not affect him, but Soth still wanted to keep a low profile, he didn't want to attract too much attention.
But the neurotic performance of these people in front of him made Soth fall into deep distress, and he couldn't help but have a bad impression of the profession of mercenaries, sure enough, this group of professions that are either busy helping other countries fight wars every day, or showing their faces in various wars, are the most prone to psychological problems.
Judging from the fact that they are now extremely afraid of death, regard their lives as extremely important, and at the same time fantasize as if they are persecuted and delusional, everyone who is stronger than them is for the purpose of killing them, this is the case.
These guys have survived in the world of war for a long time and are no longer adapted to the lives of ordinary people.
