Chapter 33: Round-up
However, the situation outside did not disappoint him, and really gave him a big surprise.
I saw that the outside of the house was full of people, the torches illuminated the surroundings brightly, and the weapons in everyone's hands were all aimed at the small house, and the sharp blades reflected cold light, which made people shudder.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, quickly put on a fighting posture, and secretly said bad in their hearts.
It's not that I didn't expect the other party to chase after me, but I didn't expect their whereabouts to be discovered so soon. It seems that they have been waiting for them in ambush here for a long time.
Could it be that the waste young master told the secret? But this time, the uncle who came to find Kevin was only temporary, why could the other party ambush here in such a short time?
Could it be the villagers here?
But they arrived in the morning, and it was impossible for them to arrive in a short time.
But whatever the reason, it is now a fact that they are surrounded by each other. Now that the other side is outnumbered, it seems that it ...... This time there is more luck than luck.
Heywood stood in front of the room, his naked upper body still covered with water, his longbow tight, and his target was fixed on the man in the middle.
Du Yuhan secretly thought, it seems that this should be the mastermind of this operation - Robert Charles.
"Long time no see, dear third brother." The man in the gorgeous suit smiled brightly at Heywood.
Haywood gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?" ”
"Why?" The man chuckled, as if amused by his question, "No why, you can only blame your dear second brother." But it doesn't matter, he won't live long anyway. ”
Hearing this, Heywood's pupils shrank, and he endured the monstrous anger in his heart, "What happened to your second brother?!" ”
"Heh, what I do to him, it depends on your appearance." Robert's treacherous hook at the corners of his mouth.
"......" Heywood clenched his fists, and the longbow crackled. What exactly do you want to do? ”
"It's not good, go back with me, and this matter will be settled." Robert showed a triumphant look, "As long as you swear allegiance to me, and remember that you and I are brothers, I will let you live." ”
"Don't fall for it." Du Yuhan held the sword in both hands and said to him calmly.
Although the situation is very bad now, if you think about it, you will find many doubts.
Du Yuhan was very self-aware, according to the strength of the three of them, the other party only needed to send one or two subordinates of the sixth order or so, and it would not take five minutes for the battle to end. But now the other party not only did not attack them, but instead said a lot of nonsense, and the intention behind this is very intriguing.
It seems that the other party does not want to kill them, or rather, not to do so for the time being.
Could it be that the other party wants to know something from their mouths?
A hint of calculation flashed in Du Yuhan's eyes, and he turned his head sideways and whispered something to Heywood.
Listening to Du Yuhan's words, Heywood was stunned, and his face was half incredulous. Then he took aim at Robert, and with a flick of his finger, the off-string arrow shot at the other man.
Robert was stunned, and the guards around him reacted quickly, and immediately put up a large shield and easily blocked the arrow. Even so, he did not order the guards to attack.
Seeing this, Heywood showed a sudden expression, and then he straightened his chest, swaggered and found a random target, and shot an arrow, and the other party dodged again, but still had no intention of attacking.
- Sure enough, as he expected, the other party did not dare to make a move.
Du Yuhan, who was standing on the side, hooked the corners of his mouth, but his expression was still very grim.
Now although he has Heywood as a shield, he can only delay time, and finally he has to find a way to escape. Otherwise, when they are exhausted, they will have to be caught.
But under heavy surrounding, it is simply a matter of time to escape.
What to do?
Du Yuhan turned his head sideways with a sad face, "Kevin, do you have any authenticity or something?" ”
"Authentically?" Kevin frowned and shook his head slightly.
Also, this is just an ordinary person's house, where does it come from?
Straight to the top?
That's a death sentence. Not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered, the opposite side only needs to send two people over, and one will be defeated.
Stick to it?
That's even more impossible. If it drags on like this, it is only a matter of time before he is caught.
Kevin, who was standing behind him, was silent, and for a long time, he gritted his teeth and pulled the sleeve of Du Yuhan, "I have a way." ”
Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, "What way?" ”
"I'm a relatively high level, and I also have self-preservation spells, so I can hold on for a while. I'll rush over and distract them later, and then you'll take the opportunity-"
"What are you talking about?!"
Du Yuhan was furious, "How could I leave you alone and run away?" ”
"But......" Kevin was anxious.
"No more talk, I don't want to hear it." He turned his head angrily and stopped talking to the other party.
How could he possibly let Kevin do the bait? His physique is not as good as his own, and it is estimated that he will not survive a few attacks from the enemy before meeting directly. Besides, the other party's target is only him and Heywood, and he is the right one to do the bait.
Thinking of this, Du Yuhan seriously thought about how high the probability would be that the other party would let Kevin go if he took the initiative to surrender.
But he quickly rejected the idea - how foolish it was to entrust one's life to the mercy of one's enemies!
Tsk, what the hell should I do?
While the three of them were pondering how to escape, Robert on the other side was about to go crazy.
As Du Yuhan guessed, Heywood's second brother was not in his hands at all. Knowing that his third brother was impulsive, he attached great importance to his second brother, so he tricked the other party into preparing to capture Heywood alive, and then brought it back to ask about the whereabouts of the second brother, otherwise he really didn't care whether Heywood was dead or alive.
But in the current situation, it seems that the other party has obviously seen through his plan, and is ready to use Heywood as a shield. Although it was only a matter of time before he caught them, something was out of his control, and he still felt angry.
Since he was a child, he has been the pride of the sky, and he has grown up under the favor of everyone, and has always been smooth sailing.
Until his father's concubine gave birth to his second brother, Landon Charles.
Langdon, who looks like his mother, is very handsome, and he not only steals the attention of his clan, but also the favor of his father, the resources of the family, the lover he likes, and even the life of his mother.
Langdon's birth made his father love his second aunt very much, but his noble mother was left out in the cold and finally died of depression.
At this point, Robert turned all the pain of losing his mother into hatred for Langdon. He swore that he must get control of the family, and then let the other party taste this endless pain!
glanced at Du Yuhan fiercely, and Robert's eyes were half-narrowed.
When he cooperated with Zia Garcia, the other party made it clear that Du Yuhan must be killed. Although he couldn't move Heywood now, crushing the little worm had no effect on him. Originally, I wanted to use them to threaten Heywood, but now it seems that there is no need for this.
Throwing a look at the magician next to him, the magician who had been ordered immediately recited the spell silently, and in an instant, a fist-sized fireball condensed in his chest, and with a whoosh, it shot straight in the direction of Du Yuhan.
The three of them were startled, but they didn't expect the other party to suddenly attack. Fortunately, Kevin reacted quickly, and with a flip of his palm, a milky white divine light shield immediately appeared in front of Du Yuhan.
But under the suppression of the level, even a small flame impact could shake the Divine Light Shield a lot darker, and even a slight crack appeared.
Seeing that the small Divine Light Shield could no longer withstand the next attack, Kevin immediately laid two more Divine Light Shields in front of Du Yuhan.
It seems that the other party is already in a hurry, since he can't catch Heywood for the time being, let's start with the people around him first. Du Yuhan's hands holding the big sword began to sweat, and he kept thinking about how to escape, but there was really nothing he could do.
Heywood was furious, the other party's actions were obviously provocative, so he bent his bow and arrow, and shot straight at the magician, but the power of the arrow did not even break the fire shield in front of the magician, and it was blocked.
The flustered look on the faces of the three pleased the angry Robert. He had planned to kill them outright, but then he thought it was too cheap for them, and he should torture them to give those few bastards a taste of fear.
Those two magicians originally had a high status in Charles's family, and they were usually pampered, and they didn't suffer anything at all. This time, they were all miserable, but it was an order from the eldest young master, and they didn't dare to disobey. was already dissatisfied, but now he is even more ruthless against the culprit who caused them to run around and work hard.
So, at his signal, the two magicians behind him intermittently released magic at the three of them, and the spell level was not high, but every time it was enough to shatter the divine light shield in front of the other party.
"Robert! You treacherous villain! Heywood yelled angrily.
"Third brother, didn't the second aunt teach you to be respectful when you talked to the eldest brother?" Robert looked at him with a smirk.
The other party's cat-and-mouse banter made Heywood angry, but the power of his attack was completely ineffective. As a melee attack, Du Yuhan could only stand in place aggrievedly, watching Kevin chant incantations and cast a shield in front of him to resist.
Looking at Kevin, whose face was getting paler and paler, Du Yuhan was full of anger.
It's all to blame on him, if he hadn't pulled Kevin out, the other party wouldn't have encountered such a danger to his life at all, and he could still enjoy a peaceful life on campus; If it weren't for his lack of strength, he wouldn't have let the other party fall into this predicament at all; If it weren't for him......
But it's too late to say anything.
The fighting spirit in his body slowly stirred up due to the fluctuations of his feelings, and the big sword in his hand shone slightly, Du Yuhan glared fiercely at Robert who was standing in the middle, eager to rush up and eat his flesh.
In the end, under the continuous consumption, Kevin's mana was completely exhausted. His hands were cold and his legs were weak, but he still recited the incantation silently, hoping to squeeze out the last bit of mana and put a layer of protection on Du Yuhan.
The transitional use of mental power caused layers of ghosting in front of Kevin's eyes, and he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, forcing himself not to faint.
No, he can't fall yet! He wants to protect Han, and he also has to tell him his heart.
"Kevin!" The eyes were quick to hold the weak Kevin, Du Yuhan was anxious and angry, unwilling, powerless, and desperate so that he couldn't breathe. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word of relief.
Say what?
Say I'll protect you?
He can't protect himself at all, is it useful to say such empty words?
After coming to this world for so long, he finally realized what it means to respect the strong, what the law of the jungle is, and what it means to eat the strong.
Seeing that Kevin's face began to soften, Robert ordered the two magicians to stop instead. There was a desperate and desolate atmosphere in the air, which made him lick the corners of his mouth subconsciously.
He just wants to press step by step, and now it is easy to take the lives of a few people, but if they see the people around them slowly falling, that kind of desperate collapse must be very exciting.
Being able to take the life and death of others into his own hands, and all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows are at his command, this refreshing feeling of absolute control makes him extremely happy. Seeing that the warrior's face was already as dead as ashes, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement in his heart. That priest is about to die, so let me give him a ride and help you end your suffering as soon as possible.
Oh, I feel very kind when I think about it.
He gave another look to the archer who was standing by, and the archer immediately bent his bow and aimed Kevin with an arrow.
Seeing this, Heywood immediately sent out an arrow, and with a crisp sound, the opponent's arrow was stopped without a mistake.
The archer's eyes moved, and he immediately fired another arrow.
Heywood bent his bow again to stop it, but this time the arrow was filled with ferocious fighting spirit, and although Heywood's feathered arrow hit the opponent's arrow, it could only make it lose its accuracy slightly.
Du Yuhan wanted to dodge sideways, but he thought that Kevin behind him would definitely suffer if he did so. He immediately raised his sword to block the opponent's attack, and because the power of the arrow was so high, even though he had taken a defensive stance, he was still forced to retreat several steps.
