Chapter 177: "The First Soup" (I)
With Alto Bellini's cold order, more than a dozen wandering knights walked into the street behind him, unhurriedly drew their swords at their waists, and quickly approached in a scattered formation.
The black-haired wizard with a smile on his face half-grasped the hilt of his sword in his right hand, the blade hanging in front of his feet, and his black pupils calmly swept over the enemies in front of him one by one.
The principle of separating the veteran from the rookie is simple: an overwhelming number of people in a street fight can win the advantage, but too many people will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of; it is better to gradually approach and narrow the enemy's space for maneuver and "strangle" them little by little.
The pace, the movements, and the look in the eyes when approaching the enemy, the cooperation between each other - these wandering knights are all masters in the true sense of the word, and none of them will be much inferior to Leonardo at the beginning.
If Loren was still the same wandering knight who had just arrived in Gumu Town, if he was really alone, there would be no second way to choose now except to turn around and escape.
Even...... This may also be a trap left by the other party, judging from their skills alone, the space left between each other is likely to be a trap, and the end of being fooled is to be caught by three long swords at the same time.
Surely death!
"I have a question. Looking at the wandering knights who were gradually gathering and surrounding themselves, the black-haired wizard was still stalling for time: "Why would you want to kill Isaac Grantham?"
"That's the last question you want to ask before you die?"
With a chill in his eyes, Aalto Bellini sneered: "Very good, even if it is the last 'gift' before you go to hell - there is no reason, just because he is too smart." ”
Loren raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised:
"That's it?"
"That's it...... Hehe, only people like you can say this. Aalto's eyes were cold, and his expression gradually distorted: "You can't see it, you can't see how terrifying this guy is!"
"Do you know how much energy I put into the research of the Holy Blood Elixir, how many resources, how much manpower I spent to complete this grand plan?!
From the initial idea to every drop of effort...... I didn't even leave the lab for a whole year for it, and it took me almost four years to crack the final rune build... An answer that I have been asking for for for many years... This guy who came out of nowhere, he's... It only took one night to solve it!
Do you know how unwilling I am?!"
"Bang!" Aalto Bellini crushed the skull of a corpse at his feet.
"Holy Blood Elixir... My years of hard work are a joy and a toy in his eyes...... You stupid people can't understand that kind of frustration, you can't see that high level, in your eyes this guy is a genius at best, so you can never see the horror of this guy, he's a devil, a devil!"
"Any research, calculation, inheritance, knowledge, wisdom...... It's all a bunch of bullshit and jokes in front of this guy's unreasonable talent! Even the mere idea that he's alive makes me sleep!
I'm the real genius!I'm the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, the hope of the entire wizarding world!As for this guy...... He's just a monster who takes pleasure in destroying other people's hearts and minds, and every day he lives is a heavy blow to the entire wizarding world!
Isaac Grantham...... He must die, and so will you!"
Alto Bellini, who was growing frenzied, was about to take another half step forward, but was stopped by another wandering knight beside him, who whispered something in his ear.
.................. "Steady." ”
In the attic, the indifferent Edward spoke softly to the people behind him, staring at the black-haired wizard who was surrounded by layers and Alto Bellini under layers of protection.
"We're outnumbered, and our only chance is with Aalto Bellini – if we can't take him out all at once, those wandering knights won't give us a second chance. ”
"What is going to be done?" the female elf tensed her nerves.
Edward, who quietly drew his sword, turned his gaze to the little wizard behind him little by little:
"Come as planned. ”
In the middle of the street, the black-haired wizard who was surrounded still didn't move, waiting patiently - half of the people in the south of the city were almost dead, and the Void Power of the entire Ebolden had never been as large and complex as it was now.
It's only a matter of time.
"Are you waiting for something?"
The wandering knight beside him stepped back, and Aalto, who was gradually recovering from extreme madness, smiled playfully: "Do you want to delay until the Holy Grail appears, Lord Loren Turin?"
Or ...... What are you ambushing for?"
The black-haired wizard's face turned cold:
"I don't understand what you mean. ”
"You're not alone, are you?" Aalto stared at him, "at least three or four more people, waiting to meet you for a breakout or ...... Raid?"
"Discovered?!"
Vera, who exclaimed in a low voice, gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Alto Bellini in the middle of the street: "It's not too late to kill this guy!"
"Calm down. ”
Edward raised his eyes, his expression unchanged, "They didn't find out where we were, they just knew we existed.
"We still have a chance. ”
"Why don't you let your friends and I come out to meet you, why are you so shy, you already know each other well, aren't you?" Aalto's sharp voice echoed through the streets:
"Raiding banquets, intending to commit murder, kidnapping, assassination...... Isn't it rude to sabotage my plans several times in a row, such an enthusiastic group of people, and I still don't even know their names?"
"How long will it be?!" the female elf couldn't help but ask.
"Wait until the other party is sure of our position. Edward lowered his voice, and the unsheathed bayonet sword was slowly raised, "As they expected, launch a surprise attack." ”
What the?!
Vera and Leah looked stunned almost at the same time, as if they thought they had misheard.
...... I see, right above that attic?
Alto's gaze swept over a house beside the black-haired wizard - indeed, from that vantage point he could see what was going on around him, and it was perfect for a surveillance and sneak attack.
But rats, you've been discovered!
With a bit of confidence, Aalto Bellini raised his chin and stared at Loren Turin with the same eyes as if he were dead:
"Again...... I want to live!"
In the next moment, more than a dozen wandering knights moved almost at the same time, and the cold long sword was like a noose, surrounding the black-haired wizard who didn't seem to react yet!
"Do it!"
At the moment when Edward roared, the spear that fell from the sky had already pierced the first wandering knight to pounce!
Edward and Vera, who cooperated tacitly, moved at the same time, and the stabbing sword pierced the enemy's cheek, and Vera's figure swept by, tacitly blocking the two guys who sneaked up.
The moment the wandering knights joined in, the black-haired wizard was gone!
Where is he...... Alto Bellini's eyes widened, and a black afterimage was rapidly rushing towards him, his hands clenched at Gangfeng!
In an instant, he was still full of confidence, and he panicked suddenly, and dragged the wandering knight beside him: "Stop, stop him, stop him!"
These wandering knights were hired by him at great expense, and they were the best and most loyal mercenaries of the Bellini family—impeccable in terms of loyalty and strength.
A sword pierced through the wandering knight who pounced on him, and Loren did not pull out the long sword with any further effort, but took out the "bright silver" behind him.
"May the void be with you!"
The moment he saw the gray-blue light, Aalto Bellini saw Loren's eyes almost at the same time, and they looked like dead men.
"Stop him ——!!!!"
The wandering knights around them were ordered to march on the corpses of their impremented and beheaded brethren and launched an attack on Loren Turin, who was alone.
Their eyes were cold, they couldn't see the extra smile on the black-haired wizard's lips, and they didn't know that this moment was waiting for him - there was finally no cover left by Aalto Bellini's side.
Raise the bow, draw the arrow, and wind it...... The little wizard half-crouched behind the attic window was pale, but his hands were as steady as steel......
And then hit!
