Chapter Eighty-Seven: Hammer vs. Adrian
The two henchmen assigned to Sledgehammer by the Tramp Boss were not comparable to the Brown Bear Tavern's subordinates, they not only had a talent for acting, stealing, but also a talent for hand-to-hand combat at critical moments. Although the physiques of these two people are slightly thin due to insufficient food and clothing, their muscles and bones are still very strong. The dwarf Kai Gong usually fights with the support of those two plate axes, and when he really fights fist to fist, he has no rules, just a random sea beating.
The two men were not in a hurry, but let the brave and unscrupulous dwarf waste a little of his strength and bruise a little of his sharpness, and they trotted back and forth like an angry bull. Kaegon couldn't stop yelling, "Don't run, come on, try your grandfather's fist!"
No one in the bazaar was doing business anymore, and no one cared about the pleasure of shopping anymore, and they all focused on the live drama of the three men.
Albert and Adrian kept there to persuade Cagong not to chase him anymore, but the dwarf could not listen. Adrian was very cautious, and for the sake of safety, he was not prepared to leave His Highness's side without permission.
The two clowns saw that the fire was almost over, and after a whistle, they suddenly grabbed a handful of special powder from their waists like a trick, and sprinkled it around three hundred and sixty degrees, and the two initiators had already held their breath and ran frantically into the distance.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic, everyone choked on the mysterious powder, coughed one after another, many people sneezed a dozen times in a row, and the scene suddenly seemed to be holding an alternative symphony.
The fatal blow was of course delivered by a sledgehammer, and he wore a special mask on his face, both to prevent himself from inhaling the powder and to make it impossible to remember the shape of his face. His nickname is Sledgehammer, but he never uses this weapon, after all, the target is too big and it is not convenient to carry. His hands were powerful enough to crush a man's head. This time, in order to kill the Quartet and increase its power, he brought an iron hook used by others to dredge the sewer, this thing is already sharp, coupled with the strength of the sledgehammer, the lethality can be imagined.
The powder spread through the air, and the whole market became foggy, and those who didn't have time to stop breathing were choked half to death.
Albert and Adrian were no exception, and Kegan had no idea where he had gone.
Under the circumstances, it was difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves.
Adrian was still a little knowledgeable, although he also coughed non-stop, but immediately motioned to His Highness to be like himself, quickly lay on the ground, nose down, and slowly moved out.
Now it was sledgehammer time, he picked up the iron hook and began a frenzied slaughter in the bazaar, whether it was men, women, children, or nobles and commoners, without exception, they were all injured and killed by scratching.
Gradually, the miraculous powder dissipated, and Albert and Adrian, who were lying on the ground struggling to move forward, were immediately exposed to Sledgehammer.
The giant man with the iron hook shouted, "Where to go!
He stepped forward quickly, ready to conduct a frontal sweep on His Highness and the two.
Adrian pushed Albert out of the way, lifted one of the vendors' shops in the bazaar with all his might, and threw it at the sledgehammer with a single thud. Good guy, this mobile shop weighs 100 catties to say the least, if this is smashed, it is estimated that it will not be humanoid.
Sledgehammer was secretly taken aback, not only impressed by this powerful arm strength, but also sweated for his own life. He rushed too quickly, and he didn't expect the other party to come to this point. In a hurry, he hurriedly fell to the ground, rolled over, and finally escaped the catastrophe.
Adrian served as Albert's personal bodyguard, with a spare sword pinned to his waist. But he was not from a professional background, and he did not take advantage of this kind of weapon, he took advantage of the other party's dodge, and quickly picked up a carriage axle from the nearby ground, which should have been used by the merchants when they were rushing to the carriage.
Iron hook against carriage axle, the victory or defeat is indeed difficult to predict.
From the analysis of the physique of the two alone, the sledgehammer is a little taller than Adrian, but the gap is not very big. Both of them are also broad-shouldered and strong, and their strength is amazing. Both men came from poor backgrounds, one spent twenty years in prison and the other served ten years as a hard labor prisoner. They originally had a job that could not be fed or starved to death, but due to some unexpected circumstances, they were thrown into the abyss of justice from which they could never recover. They are all unfortunate, and fate intends to play a joke here, so that they can test their strength and skill to see who is better and who is more unlucky.
The iron hook is lighter than the axle of the carriage and dances more easily. Sledgehammer then took the attacking side, and Adrian waited for the opportunity to move, trying to find the gap and launch a counterattack.
The two of them were now surrounded by an open field, and those who were lucky not to be injured and killed formed a large circle far away, and these people were afraid of the strength of the two big men, for fear that they would be accidentally affected if they got closer.
Kaigen was clearly chasing the two boys, and only Albert and the poor dead and wounded were left in the room.
Although the young highness has received formal martial arts training since childhood, he can also perform some small tricks. But these things didn't play a particularly big role in the duel between the two giants. The aura of those two people was too strong, and it would be futile for anyone to go in and interfere.
The sledgehammer's hook had come close to breaking through Adrian's axle defenses several times, and he was tall and long-armed, matching the weapon itself. He tried all the upper and lower three ways, and finally came to the conclusion that he should start from the other party's low position. The sledgehammer played the iron hook like a whip, and the axle of the carriage was stronger, but it did not have a sharp head, and even if it was accidentally touched hard, it would not be a big deal. The sledgehammer occupies this advantage, getting closer and closer, getting closer and higher.
Albert sweated in the back, ready to rush to help his guards.
Adrian saw that this would not work, and he deliberately threw the axle of the carriage aside, revealing the flaw, so that the other party's iron hook would have a chance to hit him in front of him. Of course, the sledgehammer is not welcome, such a heavy gift must be accepted in full. As the hook was about to hit Adrian's face, the former 24602 convict unleashed a jaw-dropping skill of flexibility, bending his waist backwards like a loach and propping his hands on the ground in the shape of an arched bridge. Just before the sledgehammer could react, Adrian took advantage of the situation and leaned back again, using the force of bending just now, his hands were propped on the ground, and his legs were raised high, just kicking the sledgehammer's chin. One of the most vulnerable parts of a person is the throat and neck, and no matter how good you are, you can't help but suffer a heavy blow here.
The sledgehammer stumbled, and the iron hook in his hand was unstable. Adrian seized the opportunity to snatch the deadly weapon in his hand, and he did not hesitate to return the favor with his own way, and immediately aimed at the vital part of the sledgehammer and began to move.
Of course, the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after he came to his senses, he saw that he had fallen behind completely, so he simply gave it a go. At the moment when the iron hook pounced on it, the decisive cat bent down and threw Adrian to the ground with a sweeping leg.
The sledgehammer swooped up, using his huge and sturdy body as a weapon, and pressed heavily on Adrian, so close that the iron hook could not be used, and the two scuffled on the spot. You punch me in the nose, and I'll give you a slap in the mouth, back and forth, it's hard to tell the winner.
Albert walked up from behind, pulled out his long sword at his waist, ready to give Sledgehammer a fatal finish. The homeless man knew that there was someone behind him, so he used Adrian as his shield, just not to show his figure.
The duel between the two giants has come to this point, and there is no particularly exciting scene. Their tremendous strength suppressed each other, making it seem as if they were children fighting. Their faces were covered in dust and sweat, and they smelled of savagery.
Adrian knew that His Royal Highness Albert wanted to help him from behind, but the other party's arm strength was really amazing, and he could only barely fight with him to a draw, and it was not easy to turn him over like this.
At the critical moment, he thought of the spare long sword at his waist. Although this weapon has a long character, it is actually only slightly more stretched than an ordinary short sword, and it is a forging method unique to the Duchy of Borot, which is specially used to distribute the garrisons of the Duke's palace. These swords may not be very useful on the real battlefield, but they can be very affordable to use as a guard sword. It is of a relatively good length, which is not only easy to carry, but also easy to quickly withdraw in hand-to-hand combat.
Of course, even so, Adrian still had a lot of trouble pulling out the long sword. He took several punches in a row, his eyes were red and swollen, and his nosebleeds kept flowing out. By the time he had the blade in his hand, he had almost no strength to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
Sledgehammer saw Adrian pull out the long sword at his waist, and his heart suddenly panicked. He slammed his opponent with a rain-down fist as he tried his best to get out quickly.
At this moment, the Imperial Guard and the city defense troops of Cesar City had arrived in due time, and they dispersed the onlookers, and quickly moved away the unlucky ones who were lying on the ground and could still be healed.
At the head of the pack was General Iros, who loudly warned the two men who were scuffling together to quickly stop the fight and accept the Empire's justice.
Sledgehammer immediately expressed his willingness to arbitrate, and Adrian had little strength to fight again.
Iros habitually stroked the beards on both sides of his face and smiled weirdly: "Take both of them away!"
"Your Excellency, General, he is my personal bodyguard Adrian, and thanks to him, I was able to survive this incident, how can you capture him?" Albert hurriedly stopped.
"Your Highness, this is the capital of the Tambolance Empire, no better than your Solo City. Since there has been an open brawl and so many people have been killed, how can you persuade the public without a trial? How can you sort it out? Your Highness, don't panic, you are not afraid of shadows, as long as your guards do not do anything out of the ordinary, they can be released in a few days. ”
When Iros said this, there was not the slightest hint of respect on his face, as if Albert was just a flat-headed commoner.
The young highness knew that the other party was justified in this matter, so he stopped arguing, and he returned to his temporary residence alone, ready to discuss with his father about follow-up measures.
To find out what happens next, let's move on next time.
