Section 58: Abduction
Bruce cut off the head of the knight of Count Ivan in one go, and the headless knight sat on the ground and his body trembled, Bruce knew that this was an instinctive reaction of nerve endings, but blood spurted from the knight's broken neck, and he didn't know why Bruce suddenly remembered the whole sheep he had eaten.
"Uh-huh." His stomach turned upside down, and Bruce couldn't suppress the acid water gushing out of his throat any longer, and he vomited on the side of his face.
"Tong~." The Headless Horseman fell like half a piece of wood, and Bruce felt that his arms were so sore that he felt cramps in his calves.
"Whew, whew, whew." Bruce hurriedly stuck the sword in his hand on the ground, and leaned over his own sword, as if all his strength had been drained at this moment.
"Kill him." Count Ivan's body trembled, his face contorted, he pulled the beard from his lips with force, turned his head and ordered the two family knights beside him.
"Yes, Lord Count." Seeing that their companions were killed, the two knights were ready to do so, even without the orders of Count Ivan, they threw away the spears in their hands, drew their swords directly from their waists, and kicked them with the golden spurs of their heels, and their mounts neighed and carried the knights out.
"Quack, quack, quack." Bruce saw the two knights rushing from a distance, he wanted to move, but found that he couldn't move, this sixteen-year-old body was still too immature, gritted his teeth, and tried to raise the sword in his hand, but this was completely symbolic.
"Revenge~~." The two knights of Count Ivan, wielding the swords in their hands, were fully sure that they could take off Bruce's head in an instant.
"Ma Dan, the old paper is going to die here." Bruce smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he was too impulsive as a time-traveler, if someone could write a time-traveling novel, I am afraid that Bruce would be the shortest-lived time-traveler in history.
"Boom~~." Just as Bruce could gradually see the snort of the war horse under the knight's crotch, the snowy sword in the knight's hand, as well as the bright and sophisticated armor, and a pair of sharp eyes staring at him in the bottle helmet, but Bruce could only instinctively clench the sword in his hand.
But at the moment when the two knights rushed towards Bruce, a figure rushed forward and threw Bruce aside, and the two rolled together, but they were able to dodge the knight's sword.
"Whew." Bruce rolled into the bushes, and he saw that it was Stukov who had knocked him aside, and the one-eyed man rolled over and stood up, slapping the dirt off Bruce's body hard.
"Why are you stunned?" Stukov asked reproachfully, but seeing Bruce's face, he seemed to understand that this battle was too bloody for Bruce, who was only sixteen years old, although the young Bruce often made people forget his age.
"I can't move my legs anymore." Bruce struggled to his feet, smiled wryly and said to Stukov.
"Ah, it's good to get used to it later." Stukov nodded, patted Bruce on the shoulder, and said.
Just as the two of them dodged the knight's attack, the two knights of Count Ivan gradually grabbed the reins of their mounts and slowly stopped, and then they jumped off their horses in unison, and walked towards Bruce and Stukov with their swords in hand.
"Damn, can you still hold the sword?" Stukov stood in front of Bruce, holding his horned dagger in one hand and a longsword in the other, and asked Bruce without looking back.
"Yes, it would be much better." Bruce held his sword in both hands, and after dodging the knights' attacks, his body seemed to feel threatened, and he was able to move, although he still felt a little weak, but he was finally able to move.
"Wow~~." Knights usually did not like to get off their horses and walk, as they were proud to think that soldiers on foot were very lowly, but if it was to kill the enemy more securely, then walking was undoubtedly the best way to use the knights' strength, and keeping their feet on the ground would allow them to fully develop their combat skills.
The two knights flanked Bruce and Stukov left and right, believing that the death of their companion at Bruce's hands was the result of complete carelessness, so they were now more cautious.
"Goo." Bruce and Stukov were back to back, they looked at the outflanked knights, Bruce couldn't help but swallow his saliva, to be honest, it was pure luck to just kill the knight on horseback, these knights specially trained for killing, whether it was physical strength or combat skills, they were actually above him, even if they added Stukov, I don't know if they could escape it.
"Ping~~." One of the knights preemptively attacked Stukov, his sword colliding with Stukov's with a loud sound, and Stukov used his long sword to block the knight's sword, but instead used his horned dagger to see the opportunity to attack.
Just when Stukov and the knight were fighting, another knight also attacked Bruce with a sword continuously, forcing Bruce to dodge and block at the same time, his fighting skills all came from Bruce's old memories, but unfortunately Bruce was not very interested in fighting before, so Bruce was so embarrassed that he had to go around a big tree to escape from the knight.
"Stop, stop." At this moment of noisy fighting, suddenly a high-pitched voice came out, and the people who were fighting each other heard the sound, and couldn't help but look at the place where the sound came from, and the knights of Count Ivan turned their heads and were stunned.
I saw that the invincible Count Ivan was holding a sword around his neck at this time, and the hands holding the sword were a pair of powerful women's hands.
"Eve, it's Eve, well done." Bruce was playing "hide and seek" with the knight around a big tree, and he was overjoyed when he saw Eve kidnapping Count Ivan.
"Damn fellow." Seeing that his earl was kidnapped, Ivan's knights panicked, you must know that the knights are all vassals of Count Ivan, if the earl has any three advantages and two shortcomings, they are at least guilty of protecting the unfavorable, and in serious cases, they will even be deprived of the fief and expelled from the territory.
"Stop." Eve grabbed Count Ivan with her sword and held him hostage, shouting at the knights.
"Woo woo, let go, let go of me, you, what are you going to do?" Count Ivan's face was bloodless at this time, it was even whiter than the face of the pale knight, don't look at him just now, but at this time he looked like a bad seed.
"Make your knights lay down their weapons." When Eve saw Bruce rushing towards Count Ivan, she was smart and immediately realized Bruce's thoughts, in the case of the disparity in combat power between the two sides, only by catching Count Ivan, they could get out of here alive, but Count Ivan was protected by a knight by his side, and it was very difficult to catch him, but at this moment, the knight who attacked Bruce was killed, and the enraged Count Ivan was dizzy, and actually sent the only remaining knight around, so Eve's opportunity came.
"Bastard, if you dare to hurt the Earl with a finger, we'll nail you to a wooden frame and pull your intestines out alive." Count Ivan's knights surrounded him in a rage, and they roared and threatened Eve with death, but Eve didn't care.
"Z~." Eve raised her chin and stared at the knights with her pretty eyes contemptuous, and with a slight force on her wrist, the blade cut through the skin of Count Ivan's neck, and blood flowed out at once.
"Ah, blood, blood, bastard, lay down your weapons, do you want me to die?" Count Ivan screamed like a chicken pinched by the neck, and he cherished his life more than anyone else, so he commanded the knights with a loud voice.
The knights were also nervous, but they put down their weapons and let them be slaughtered, they looked at each other and didn't know what to do, at this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and it seemed that another group of horses was approaching them quickly, even Bruce and the others were nervous, not knowing what was happening.
