Chapter 345: A Desperate Shot
"Give up, you're no match for me at all. Soth watched the old knight raise his sword again, and he also had some admiration in his heart, and out of respect or kindly reminded him, because anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see that this old knight did not want to defeat Soth at all, but to complete the order of his superiors at the moment.
Full of loyalty, this kind of chivalry, which was lost in most of the knights that Soth had seen, he didn't know what the situation was in this world, at least in the world of Wotan, and he thought that the only one who could be called a knight was Kobold Ketuma.
And this old knight named Cromwell made him reacquainted with the knightly class, many of whom may still have very valuable qualities.
"Oh, what should I do, I want this guy to serve me more and more-" Soth muttered in his heart, this old knight is really a little unconsciously liked, both strength and character are undoubted, Soth is already a little resentful in the eyes of the archon at this moment, obviously he has such a good subordinate, but he doesn't even dare to defend his own city.
He originally thought that the strength of the city defense army should be very weak, but looking at the current situation, with the six-member knight order, it was no longer inferior to the adventurer's union, not to mention a thousand well-trained warriors.
The city defense army is definitely a very powerful force, they should have been the existence to change the situation of this riot, but because of this conservative, timid and visionless consul, they huddled here to protect him alone.
Soth didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore, he hugged the old knight with a fist to show respect, his eyes stared at the archon behind him, his fierce eyes made the archon subconsciously shrink his neck, and he didn't dare to look at him at all, this is the posture of the weak in front of the strong, he knows very well what kind of character he is, his behavior has shown everything, his understanding and positioning of himself will always be under Soth.
Soth was even more disdainful, the archon was a straw bale with no use, these knights may have been brought by him from his noble family far away from Sanafria, or he may have paid a lot of money to hire them, but in any case, the fact that such an incompetent fellow could become the consul of Sanavria shows that he must have a strong background.
But such a person with a strong background, he doesn't even have the arrogance that can barely be regarded as an advantage, in front of Soth, he is as clear and transparent as a bacterium under a microscope, everything is seen through by Soth, without reservation, he can't respect Soth at all, and he can't have any good thoughts.
Now Soth just wanted to kick him out and then recover the soldiers as soon as possible and put an end to the riots in the city, so he suddenly moved.
The old knight Cromwell has been on guard against Soth's movements, and according to his previous experience, Soth should have crossed him this time and attacked the archon behind him directly, so the moment he made a move, he retreated backwards, wanting to protect the archon behind him.
But Soth actually knew very well that this old knight must be the kind of person who stinks and is like a stone in a hard pit, and usually people with a strong sense of loyalty will be very stubborn, so Soth has no intention of convincing him here.
The soldiers next to them have long been in a state of watching the play, which also shows how unpopular this consul is, almost everyone does not support him, after all, Sanavria is also their home, of course they don't want to see the riots continue, of course they want to save the people living in the city.
So Soth planned to deal with Cromwell first, but in fact he did just a feint, and when he saw Cromwell retreating, he laughed, and the other party was fooled.
Soth didn't jump, and although he had his feet off the ground, and made the gesture of trying to get past Cromwell and grab the Archon behind him, he still didn't jump into the sky, in fact he just made a step, and then shot it like an arrow, straight into Cromwell's body.
The old knight secretly screamed badly, he retreated in a hurry, because he was afraid that Soth would kill the archon directly, so he didn't have time to take any precautions, after seeing Soth's speed, he knew that he might not be able to catch up even a little bit.
So he almost abandoned all defensive moves, and jumped backwards desperately, but what he didn't expect was that Soth accelerated and dived towards him, and Cromwell expected that something might be bad.
But after all, he has a lot of experience, and experience is always the most important ability in combat, and he makes Cromwell not timid at this moment, he understands that he has no possibility of defending anymore, because at this time, the end of the first rat can only be defeated by Soth without any effect.
So he decided to simply abandon defense, in the face of a large gap in strength, the best way is not to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, but to talk about one thing to the extreme, even if the old knight has always been a steady person, his offensive actions in the battle are actually not much, but at this moment, he completely abandoned the defense and still broke out with a powerful attack.
His shoulders relaxed, no longer in a defensive posture, and then jumped back as a small step for himself, Cromwell actually rushed forward, and was about to crash into Soth, the other knights and soldiers couldn't help but shout in surprise, they didn't expect Cromwell knights to be so decisive, it was like a solo charge in the face of thousands of horses.
Only the Archon behind him felt nothing, he was in a state of panic, and at the moment he only feared for his own safety.
Soth was also surprised, he didn't expect Cromwell to make such a choice, looking at the way the other party rushed forward, Soth knew that this might be stronger than the sword that slashed at his back just now, if he didn't take it seriously, even he might be injured or even lose to Cromwell.
There is no absolute answer to everything, although Sos is strong, he can't ignore all the unfavorable situations, he doesn't want to kill Cromwell, he wants to keep this admirable old bone and let him serve himself, obviously, when the other party is desperate, and you are thinking about how not to hurt the other party to knock him down, this has become your biggest constraint, Soth is tied up by such a constraint at the moment.
He found that no matter what he did, he didn't seem to be able to defeat Cromwell unscathed, unless he stepped back now, gave way, and fought Cromwell again, and next time, without such an unexpected move, it would be almost impossible for Cromwell to put Thros in a dilemma.
But who is Soth, he is the son of God, he has his own pride, and he will never allow himself to retreat at this time, so he secretly made a decision, clenched his fists, and rushed straight over, everyone held their breath, and time froze at this moment.
