Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Gate of the Abyss! Chapter 30: Variables (continued)

After a night of fighting and hard work, the raid battle can be said to be a great success, the second attack of the Monks did not expect that the second attack of the Monks would come so quickly, and the Alex knight led by the Cel people with extremely strong combat effectiveness, under the surprise attack, the outpost of about 100 people stationed was breached, and the commander was also killed on the spot, Τ

However, at this moment, there was an atmosphere of unease in the hall of Vendsburg. [No pop-ups.]

The head monk of Barbrosa arrived just after an hourglass hour after Alex's attack, and the gray-haired old friar's face was very tired, and the old wrinkles and loose muscles were more prominent, and the patches of age spots were very glaring.

In more than forty years as the chief monk, this is the second time that he has ridden his horse for three days and nights in a row, but he is no longer the energetic and vigorous knight of the past, and the years have worn away his physique, and it has also diluted the glorious brilliance that once shrouded his body.

He is already old, in order to make the family more prosperous, in order to maintain his reputation and status, he has already calculated the merits of this attack in his heart, everyone brought by the family can be promoted in this campaign without accident, and this battle with the Council of the Dead is an opportunity, so he sent the Knight of Colin to stop the knights of other factions from adventuring, ready to slowly harvest these fruits.

How did he know that after he arrived in a hurry, someone would still wantonly break his plan, which really made him angry in his heart.

He looked at Alex and Cyril Knight with a stern expression, and said in an unusually stern tone: "The two of you are still attacking on your own under the persuasion of Knight Colin, and you may even disrupt the overall plan of the Alliance, and what you have done is not at all in line with the discipline that a knight should abide by. In this position, Barbrosa still has the grace and majesty of a superior person.

Alex, who was standing in the middle of the hall, was not afraid, sneered, and said, "We have not received any orders that do not allow us to attack, and of course we must go out in time to catch the fighter." ”

Knight Colin stepped forward, and he sharply accused, "Knight Alex, don't you know that Lord Barbrosa is coming, have you forgotten my warning to you?"

"I'm sorry," Alex pouted disdainfully, sneering, First, I didn't receive any orders not to allow me to fight, and second, the Monk would not be absolutely binding on his subordinates, and the Alliance did not give the Grand Knight of Barbrosa the rights it deserved, so I don't think I violated the iron rules of the Alliance, and I was a great success in this operation, occupying an important outpost of the Council of the Dead, where the Knight of Colin was almost wiped out, not counting the delays, and causing the Alliance to suffer a lot of losses, I don't know if I'm right?"

Knight Colin's face suddenly turned ugly, and he took off his glasses and wiped them vigorously, not saying a word.

Barbrosen squinted at Alex. He nodded and said, "Since Knight Alex is so insistent. Then there must be a reason for it. Presumably, you have already thought about how to act in the future. It's good. We are about to take this opportunity to expand our gains. Then please explain to us the next plan. ”

"What's next?" Alex froze. Said: "There is no plan...... he originally wanted to fight for the land. That's because I know that I don't have a chance to do it myself. And he didn't have any information on what to do later. Not to mention any plans.

Barbrosa said lightly, "Really?"

Alex's eyelids jumped. He knew that this old guy was going to make a fuss about it. But he still replied loudly and with great force: "Yes!"

Barbrosa's cloudy eyes stared at Alex for a moment. Said slowly: "Alex Knight." I command you to lead the knights of your headquarters into battle at once. Take advantage of the victory to pursue. Expand the results. ”

Alex sneered: "If you give this order, Lord Zen, three hourglasses, then I absolutely support it." But now the Council of the Dead must be ready. We have missed the best time. ”

Knight Colin sneered, "Oh, didn't Knight Alex say he had no ideas, why do you have so many excuses now?"

Alex glanced at him disdainfully, looked up, raised his chin, and said, "I didn't receive an order from the Alliance, and I refuse to fight." ”

"It was an order from the Alliance," Barbrosa smiled incomprehensibly, took out a parchment, slowly untied the red belt on it, and said, "This is the Alliance's appointment to me, and all the knights of Vendsburg are temporarily at my disposal." ”

Just as Bablosa took out the parchment scroll, Alex felt that something was wrong, the other party didn't take out the appointment letter just now, but now he came like this, obviously setting himself up. At this moment, the situation could no longer allow him to refuse, and he said in a stiff voice: "Subordinates take orders." ”

Barbrosa let out an "um", stood up with a blank face, and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." He walked out of the chamber without looking back.

Knight Colin gloated at Alex, left a few sneers, and followed Barbrosa all the way out.

"Ordering us to attack the council of the dead's prepared garrison is a self-defeating one, my lord. After returning to his residence, the captain of the guard said to Alex anxiously.

Alex had a gloomy face, he came here to win merit, not to kill himself, he saw very clearly, Barbrosa wanted to exclude dissidents, but he was helpless, he said in a cold voice: "I know what Barbrosa is thinking, he wants his grandson to replace my credit." ”

Standing here was also the Cyril Knight, who was silent in the hall just now, and said disdainfully at the moment: "I saw that kid just now, what kind of high-level knight, knight chief, but he just has a gorgeous fighting spirit that is useless."

If such a man can lead us, and become the succession of the chief monks, the alliance will be ruined in their hands. ”

Alex said in a deep voice: "There are also many excellent knights in the alliance, but they are all suppressed by those old nobles, and they can't come out at all. ”

Cyril sighed and said helplessly: "So what, we can't change this situation. ”

"No, it can be changed. ”

"Oh?" Cyril looked at his friend suspiciously, his heart beating unconsciously.

Alex's eyes seemed to have a sharp knife flash, and his voice leaked a trace of cold air like ice, and said, "There is a way, clean!"

"Cleansing?" Cyril felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat, took a few steps back, and said in shock, "You, what do you want to do?"

Alex smiled strangely, and a few words popped out of his teeth, "Kill Bablosa." ”

Cyril's face turned pale.

Alex suddenly reached out and put his arm on Cyril's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Old friend, you'll help me, won't you?"

"But, but, after all, Barbrosa is a great knight, he is not something we can fight, and ......" Cyril's head was cold sweat, he felt that his hand was full of strength and murderous energy, did he really have to make such a hasty choice?

"Don't worry, I've inquired, Barbrosa has been running for three days in a row, and his physical strength has been seriously overdrawn, and although he looked very energetic during the conversation just now, I secretly noticed that he has been wheezing slightly, indicating that his state has not fully recovered," Alex glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn soon, this time is the most likely time to get tired, his physical condition should be at its lowest ebb, which is extremely beneficial to us, and ......" He pulled the corners of his mouth and said, " If Barbrosa were twenty years younger, then I would never dare to use this brain today, but he is old, he is an old man in his eighties, and he is just a title, how long do you think he can last under our raid?"

Cyril struggled in his heart, and he said bitterly, "Are you sure you have thought about it?"

"Don't worry. Alex said very calmly: "After all these years, when have you seen me do something that I am not sure of?" Barbrosa left his guards behind in order to hurry, and only brought a few personal guards led by his grandson, except for Colin's guards, the whole castle was full of our men, and we had a good chance of winning. ”

Cyril was silent and did not speak.

Alex glanced at him, let go of the hand holding his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "This is an opportunity given to us by God, if we don't grasp it well, it will be us who will die, if you want to die, I will definitely not stop you, but I will definitely not accompany me, my fate needs to be controlled by myself." ”

Cyril was shocked, he thought of this most severe and immediate fact, gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and said, "Okay, I'll do it with you!"

As if he had already guessed that the other party would agree, Alex nodded calmly, he stood up, and said, "Let's go." ”

Cyril followed him without saying a word.

The captain of the guard heard the conversation clearly word for word just now, but he had no choice, took a deep breath, and followed behind the two of them.

The roads in the castle were already familiar to Alex, and the guards knew their identities, so no one stopped them, and they soon came to the door of Barbrosa's room, and the two guards looked at them warily, and just as they wanted to speak, Alex pulled out his short sword from his wrist and swung it hard.

A bright light flashed in front of them, and before the two guards could react, a large hole had been cut in their throats.

Alex threw the dagger to the captain of the guard behind him, then held the bodies of the two guards, and then carefully lowered them to the ground, the whole movement was clean and did not make a sound.

The captain of the guard walked towards the exit of the corridor without command, and stood there.

Cyril nodded, and it seemed that he could quietly deal with Barbrosa, but Alex's next move was unexpected.

"Bang!"

Alex kicked the door open, then rushed in in a rage.

Barbrosa was resting on the bed, when he heard the sound, he raised his upper body, touched the sword beside him, and said angrily: "Alex, what do you want to do?"

Alex seemed extremely angry and said, "I ask you, why did you confiscate all my soldiers' horses?"

Bablosa was stunned, he had never given such an order, but after thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be his grandson's favorite thing to do, although he faintly felt that something was wrong with the things in front of him, but he was tired and had just woken up from his sleep, and he couldn't remember so much at all, frowning and saying, "I...... What are you doing?"

This was the second time he had asked, but the voice had turned to anger, surprise, unbelievability, and more horror.

As he spoke, Alex had already taken two steps forward again, pulled out his sword and slashed at the old man in front of him.

This angle is right in the corner, making it impossible to avoid at all, his attack is perfect in terms of distance and speed power, and he can't do a better job in this position with other high-ranking knights.

Barbrosa raised her sword, parried, and struggled to deflect away from her body.

"Boom!"

Despite the hasty parry, the physical reaction over the years still allowed him to block the sword in time, but although he blocked it, the power of the pure upper body could not resist the blow of the opponent's driving body power at all, and with a muffled snort, his arm was numb, and the sword body was knocked back, and the blade body "pounced" and stuck into his shoulder.

Alex let out a loud shout and stepped forward

, the muscles all over his body burst out, and he rose up and slashed the sword with all his strength and pressed down.

Bablosa snorted and had to retreat, but behind him was a corner, and his body was suddenly forced against the cold stone wall, and despite the blood flowing, he still held the sword firmly and refused to let go.

Alex's forehead was bruised, and he exerted his strength again.

The old body in front of him seemed to be unable to support it, as if it would be crushed if it had another strength, but it was full of resilience and refused to fall.

Alex let out a loud shout, he suddenly withdrew his sword, raised it above his head, and immediately burst out of a dark red fighting aura on his body, and then slashed hard.

Like the sound of metal clashing, Barbrosa's body also burst into a cyan light, but it trembled heavily under the impact of the red rage.

"Fighting Qi Barrier?" Alex sneered, he raised his sword again, and slashed!

There was a crashing sound, and this time it was not only the cyan light, but even Barbrosa's whole person was trembling.

Alex didn't stop, he repeated the simple action again like chopping wood.

"Boom!"

The third exchange caused Barbrosa to spit out a mouthful of blood, and the cyan fighting qi faintly showed signs of collapse.

He was a skillful knight, and he was extremely unaccustomed to this method of pure competition of fighting spirit and strength, not to mention that he was now old and frail, and he was still extremely exhausted.

"Kill!"

With a bang, the cyan light shattered completely like glass, and Barbrosa's mouth was no longer blood, but shattered internal organs, and his eyes were completely devoid of brilliance, and his mind had fallen into a coma.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, it was the guards who had heard the sound, but Alex did not attack immediately, he glanced at the old monk in front of him with pity, his eyes narrowed, leaving only a thin slit that was steaming with cold light.

"Grandfather!" a young knight who rushed into the room let out a roar of grief and drew his sword and charged at Alex with his back.

Cyril, who had been hiding behind the door, suddenly dodged out.

Although he has the title of a high-level knight, there is a lot of water in it, and whether it is the experience of combat or the training of martial arts, the young knight who came smoothly all the way is not Cyril's opponent, plus the anger and excitement at the moment caused too many emotional fluctuations, Cyril easily held his wrist, and then stretched out his foot and gently hooked it, and immediately knocked him to the ground, and the sword brush was put on his well-maintained neck, and he turned back to Alex and asked, "What should I do?"

Alex didn't move, glanced at it casually as if he was going to slaughter a pig or sheep, and said, "Kill." ”

"Flutter!" a stream of scorching blood spurted out, and the young, life-filled blood instantly spread across the ground.

Alex took a deep breath, threw away the sword in his hand, then bent down and pulled out a short sword from the young knight's waist, walked up to Barbrosa in two steps, checked it with his hand, and grabbed the old monk's hair with the other hand, and then pulled his face closer, and said coldly: "Sitting in this position depends on strength, and it depends on merit......"

His arm slammed forward, and it stabbed into Barbrosa's throat, and he could feel the violent spasms of the old body under his strong arms, and with a cold smile, he pulled out the blade of his sword, letting the bright red blood spray out, and muttered to himself, "And iron blood." ”

It was only two people, and they had completed an assassination of the chief monk, and although the sound of the fierce battle between the captain of the guard and those guards was still ringing, it was already insignificant.

Cyril fiddled with the sword in his hand, sighed strangely, and said, "I thought it would be difficult. ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Alex's mouth, and said, "He died, which means that he is the one who is destined to be eliminated by the law of fate." ”

Cyril sighed and said, "What do we want to do?"

Alex said unusually calmly: "It's very simple, the grandfather had a dispute, and finally the grandfather was killed by the grandson, we came in to stop the young man's atrocity, and we had to kill him, what do you think of this excuse?"

Cyril smiled bitterly: "There is a big loophole. ”

Alex said nonchalantly: "Now I am the highest-ranking person here, on the eve of this great war, it is absolutely impossible for the alliance to send anyone higher than me to investigate this matter, as for after that," he smiled coldly and said, "Do you think they can still figure out the truth?"

The sound outside gradually stopped, and at this time, the captain of the guard ran in sweating profusely and said, "My lord, I just got the news that Knight Colin led a group of people out of the castle half an hourglass hour ago. ”

But Alex frowned and said, "Oh, no wonder he didn't show up, I wanted to kill his ...... easily."

"Your Excellency!" said the captain of the guard in a hurry, "the guard of the head of the Holy See Morgowatts has arrived outside the castle, and Colin is there to greet him......"

The muscles in Alex's face twitched.

"What, so fast?"

"Don't panic!" Alex walked back and forth a few steps, then Huo Ran turned back and said, "Wait and invite Brother Morgowards to the living room to rest," he glanced at Cyril and said, "You go, just act as if nothing happened." ”

Cyril hesitated for a moment and said, "You want to ......"

Alex said coldly: "Don't care what I think, you can just go." ”

......
