Lauder Snowtim, Viscount of Blackcrow Castle, nicknamed "The Butcher", has been accompanied by the continuous deaths of those around him throughout his life. He was a large man who was born with his own mother bleeding to death. It was the first person to die because of him, and the last person he had inadvertently caused.

Powerful and agile, the combination of these two points is enough to make a good samurai. However, if you add a gloomy mind and fierce cunning, that is an important basis for him to become a butcher. This is a pure guy who likes money, power, women, and prefers to kill to get these things for himself. Before reaching adulthood, it had already become the runner-up of the Aria jousting tournament and was loved by the Grand Duke as the heaviest and sharpest giant axe in his hands. It was this affection that allowed him to be exonerated after purging all his older brothers and his father, who had always been unwilling to let him inherit the noble status.

This is a robber, all the nobles understand, but no one can find a living witness. And even if you find it, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Fort Laco, for example, is clearly a small castle that could not hold back a large army, and there is indeed no sign of a battle on the walls, gates, or anywhere, indicating that it either surrendered outright or was taken by bloodless soldiers. But just like this, everyone in the castle set themselves on fire in the arrow tower?

It is more likely that they were all imprisoned in the arrow tower by Lauder the Butcher, doused with oil, and then burned down. I still remember what the knight in the courtyard said - the arrow tower burned so fast, and it used ignition materials, and it could not be extinguished, so it could only wait to burn out. It's so convenient that the people are dead, the castle is intact, and all the money and food have been preserved.

After Fort Laco, he was sent to the parliamentary city of Nahir. If you just want to rob it, it doesn't matter what Fitch does. But when he appeared in front of Andrew, with a giant axe in his hand and a fierce glint in his eyes, it had something to do with Feige.

"Attack!" Fei Qicai didn't care what the two sides were fighting each other for, his only thought was to solve the problem, or solve the person who created the problem. Therefore, he didn't have the idea of listening to the explanations of the two sides at all, and he didn't even want to listen to his brother's words, so he directly drew his sword and pointed at Lauder Snott: "Follow me! Forward! Charge!"

"You're crazy!" exclaimed several knights who had been on the road all night, but after a second or two of hesitation, they drew their weapons and joined the charge. The Count had told them to listen to the beaked mystery's orders, and what was needed now was obedience, not understanding.

On the other side, Andrew didn't see Feige, his attention was all on "The Butcher" Lauder. "Get out of the way! These people are going to take refuge in the Temple of Truth Thunder, they have surrendered and are prisoners of war. ”

"They are clearly enemies, and at worst they are spies. Lauder squinted his eyes and shook the axe in his hand: "I don't care if the priest wants to go to the temple, these people can't go." If you want to go, you have to go through an inspection, my inspection! Make sure they really surrendered, and there are no spies!"

Andrew frowned: "Then how can it be considered a real surrender?"

"Of course, I do what I tell them to do. Obedience is true surrender. Lauder turned his head slightly, secretly glanced at the more than thirty cronies "little butchers" behind him, and then clenched the long handle of the giant axe in his hand: "This knight, although I recognize your banner, this banner cannot replace orders. If you want to enter the temple, feel free. But these people behind you can't. At least...... At least I'm going to check to make sure they don't have contraband on them. ”

"There are women and children in there!"

"I'm not blind. Lauder's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to a man behind Andrew and shouted, "Wait a minute, who are you! Aren't you the wanted criminal wanted by the Grand Duke! You are the traitor who eats inside and out! Come out! You come out for me!"

"Who?" Andrew was just about to turn his head, and Lauder had already raised his axe in his blind spot. At this time, the blessing of the goddess made her paladin feel bad, but it could not speed up the paladin's movements, let alone replace the human limit of "observing and reacting".

"The Butcher" Lauder has mastered this whole set of moves, and he can always cut off his head. Only this time, he encountered an unexpected surprise. As he swung his axe, he saw the charging knight, a masked creature wielding a greatsword and his eyes glowing red, like a devil from hell. He felt that he had only one chance with an axe, either to slash at Andrew and fulfill the Grand Duke's orders, or to block the knight's attack. Choose one of the two, but anyone has only one life, and there is really no choice.

Only a loud "bell" could be heard, and Feiqi's pit sword and the butcher's giant axe collided together. This collision shows Feiqi's lack of martial arts, and he can't fully exert the power of the Pit Divine Sword. Lauder twisted the axe, avoiding the sharpest part of the sword, striking only from the side, writhing his body and slamming into the side of the horse. The war horse that had been running all night was already tired, and then when he reached the limit, he was hit by the side, so he was silent, and he didn't even have room to resist, and he was killed instantly.

Feige was carried to the side by the war horse and fell on Andrew, and the two of them fell like dominoes, with the two horses crooked together. At this time, Lauder's axe was also overwhelmed, and several cracks appeared with the sound of "click, click, click". After all, the Pit Excalibur is an inferior artifact, and Fei Qi struck with all his strength without reservation, and it was good that the giant axe was not directly broken. Seeing this, Lauder roared angrily and was about to pursue, but was rushed up by the knights behind Feige.

Why lead the knight to charge instead of casting magic? Although there were only five knights, they were the most elite of the count's men, and the victory was evident with five cavalry fighting one broken infantry. In just one shot, Lauder was struck three times, knocked to the ground, and then trampled by the horse's hooves. "Keep attacking, don't stop!" Feige shouted as he pulled Andrew off his horse. As a result, the five knights could only bite the bill and continue to attack.

"Feige?" Andrew heard Feige's voice. I was dizzy and dizzy just now, and I didn't know what was going on and lay on the ground, and my mount was also crushed by a dead horse that "fell from the sky", and I kept struggling to get up. "Is it Feige?"

"Let your men attack, kill the butcher's men, and not a single one of them will be left. Feige said, "The Grand Duke is going to kill you." ”

"What?" Andrew was still a little confused. "Pull me up first, I don't understand. ”

"Then you can slowly understand for yourself, I'm going to kill someone!" Feige pressed Andrew to the chest, and then pushed him back to the ground to his feet. "If you can't figure it out, let your people protect you first!"

The five knights charged into Lauder's regiment of thirty, which was already in a chaotic battle. Fei Qi stood up with the Pit Sword, just as the other person also stood up. Lauder, the butcher, was not actually dead, and it didn't even look like he was fatally injured. Admittedly, there were very few strong men who could wear a piece of leather armor and chain mail under the breastplate, so it is understandable that he was not hacked to death.

"You broke my axe!" Lauder roared, "I want you dead!"

This reason is really rough and easy, and it can be used casually. Fitch swings the Pit Excalibur to make a move to block the response, then casts lightning with his other hand. He can fight in close combat, but that honor is for a warrior who can break through his magic and succeed in getting close to him.

"Divine Punishment Lightning!"

Four bolts of steel whip-like lightning shot out from Feige's four fingertips, illuminating the dawn for a moment. The armor of steel transmitted the power of lightning to the flesh without loss, and Lauder's movements instantly stiffened. It was a battle between magic and brute force, or mana and physics, and Lauder the Butcher held his axe aloft, in a posture ready to swing, but he just couldn't swing it forward. This scene is like a sculpture frozen in time, and the composition from every angle is full of power and beauty.

"No one can stop me!" Lauder's muscles swelled, and the force of the rage forced the body to obey the will, instead of succumbing to the objective laws. The great axe began to swing forward, faster and faster, and the approaching shadows gave the impression of a guillotine gate. Feige gritted his teeth and shouted something that no one could understand at the time: "I'm just nobody!"

This sentence was like a spell, making the lightning triple stronger in an instant. Instead of four flashing steel whips, it's now a red ball of lightning. Lauder was knocked into the air, crossed over the heads of the crowd on all fours, pierced through the window of the roadside shoe store, and crashed into it with a thud. Everyone only felt that their ears had lost their function, and they were all buzzing noises, and they couldn't even hear the voice of the person opposite. Everyone was shaken to the ground, and Andrew even slipped and fell again, crushing his mount again.

The horse simply didn't want to get up again.

Feige was also very uncomfortable, but he was the initiator and prepared for this effect of magic lightning, so his symptoms were much milder than others. He looked left and right, then beckoned to Shane and Beni, and then pointed to Andrew, who was trying to get up again. The meaning is obvious, and Benny can understand it, which is: you two guard him, don't let him kill anyone.

On the other side of the battlefield, five to thirty, it seems that the number of people is at a disadvantage, but this is not counting the horses. If you count the horses under the crotch, that's ten or thirty, and it's a lot better in an instant, right? If you count a horse with four hooves that can attack, or by weight, it can be said to be an advantage. Of course, in reality there is no advantage, and the scene is just to maintain the balance of power. The balance of power is also good, as long as there are no surprises at this time, such as the situation of high morale.

Or for example, the butcher Lauder crawled out of the shoe store again, covered in blood but still not dead......

"I'm going to kill you! you're going to die! you're going to die!" Lauder tugged at the shattered breastplate, pulled it off the shoulder strap, and slammed it to the ground. "My axe! Look you've got half of my axe left!"

Indeed, the original beautiful double-sided axe has now become a broken and dilapidated single-sided axe, but is this enough to shout and scream? Fei Qicai didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and raised his hand to be a bolt of lightning that struck Lauder again.

The lightning did hit, but this time the effect was far worse than the last time, not only did it not fly away, but it couldn't even delay his movements. The giant monster didn't seem to care about the wounds on its body, it was a completely efficient weapon of war, and it still charged at Feiqi.

"What if there is a ghost in this talent!" Fei Qi twisted his wrist, ignoring the hidden magic matrix, and cast a greasy spell on the ground. No matter what the monster force is, the force always has to rise from the ground, and the sudden slippery will immediately interrupt this force, causing it to lose balance. Lauder rushed over with a hideous face, and fell down with a hideous face, and his face was comical and-gnawed. It still didn't beat him, but at least it bought some time.

Andrew came to his senses during this time.

"Feige, I can't give the order to kill them, it's against the precepts of the paladin, I can only order to defend and retreat slowly. Andrew said, "Let's retreat to the temple together, where the terrain is better defended. ”

"Only by killing all the butcher's men will we have a way out. Feige shook his head: "Andrew, my mana is starting to be unable to keep up with the consumption, this guy stands up, I can't beat him in hand-to-hand combat." Hurry up, you hurry up and ...... at this time"

"No, I can't. Andrew said to his men, "Take these innocent citizens who have surrendered into the temple and come back to fight!

A group of people took the opportunity to leave, but Andrew didn't. He came to Feiqi's side, holding the paladin's sword in his hand: "I'll block, you attack, let's kill this guy together." ”

"Damn, he's here to kill you, you block a fart!You can't block it with that strength!" Feige rolled his eyes, but at least Andrew didn't retreat with his men first, but stayed to face the strong enemy together. "Shani, Beni, you are not allowed to melee with the butcher, I think that guy is weird, and he is definitely not a normal human. ”

"He smells of half-blood," Shani said, "I've observed that his wounds heal is definitely not human, and his muscles and bones are weird. ”

"Kind of like me. Beni was not going to use her fists this time, but instead held a dagger in each hand. "Be careful, it's definitely not good news like me. ”

Andrew was confused, but Feige certainly wouldn't explain it to him. Beni is of six-armed snake demon blood, and she says that "like her" means having demonic powers involved. However, as a devil, Feige didn't feel any demonic powers, but he felt a little strange and inexplicable, like some kind of strange foreknowledge of the future.

He suddenly raised his head.

Without warning, a meteor suddenly pierced the sky and fell towards Feige. It was a strange meteor with a blue trail, its black core rubbing against the air, burning violently. It was silent, or rather the sound was left far behind it. Feige opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say, only to watch as it continued to accelerate and fall.

Then it accurately hit the castle in the southern part of the city of Nahir.

The shockwave razed the entire castle to the ground, and the walls collapsed outwards like broken hedges, reducing the guards to pieces. Feige was trying to figure out how to keep a few of his people alive from the meteor blast — his mind was full of Tunguska explosions and various nuclear bombs — only to find that the meteor had only destroyed the castle, much less powerful than he had expected.

Only, through the global vision of Hawkeye meditation, Feige saw a gigantic monster with wings and strong limbs, and its entire body burning, rising from the ruins, its eyes glowing blue in the black shadows.

Compared to it, the butcher is simply weak.
