Chapter 8: The Enraged Heinrich
.
Heinrich said that he was now very manic, and based on his own experience, he followed the trail left by the chase in the forest, and when he was desperate, he heard the sound of fighting before he found this hidden canyon. Pen %Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info but thankfully he finally caught up at the last minute, Heinrich loosened the string in his heart that was about to break, and the next thing was to vent his accumulated anger on the mercenary who looked disgusting on the other side, Heinrich felt that if he didn't vent again, he would be burned by the erupting volcano in his heart.
That's right, mercenaries; The old-eyed Heinrich could see at a glance where Artam came from: fierce and cruel, undisciplined, and forgetful of money (Heinrich looked at the body that was obviously hacked to death with an axe, and it was obvious that Arthur was the only living person at the scene with an axe), even if he sniffed Heinrich with his nose several kilometers away, he could smell the stench of this filthy guy coming out of his bones. As a servant of an authentic military aristocracy, Heinrich and these mercenaries were incompatible. Not bothering to talk nonsense with this guy anymore, Heinrich pulled out his greatsword, which was somewhat like the Kramer longsword, and put on a standard starting hand posture to approach Assam and prepare to start fighting.
"Damn, that's a hard idea." Arthurm roared inwardly; In this era, any nobleman who is proficient in swordsmanship is an extremely dangerous opponent, because most of the nobles who are proficient in swordsmanship have not been corrupted into sissies who only know how to perform sword dances due to the threat of barbarians; Their swordsmanship is rigorous and deadly, and ten years of hard training have created a distinctive temperament, and the training they have received since childhood has also made them extremely experienced in martial arts. However, commoners are not in the condition to spend a lot of time honing their swordsmanship ability like nobles from an early age, after all, swordsmanship requires a long time of training and precipitation before it can show the demeanor of the king of weapons; Therefore, soldiers of civilian origin often rely on their own talents to use weapons such as giant axes and spears, which are extremely crude and simple and straightforward; Even if some civilians want to use the long sword as a weapon in the later stage, they will be seen at a glance because of the lack of training time, and that lack of calm temperament. And now Arthurm is facing one of the best among those elite noble swordsmen, and one of the most dangerous.
The sound of the collision of the axe and the sword suddenly sounded, and Carolan was truly relieved at this time, he really felt that he was going to die just now, and his last thought just now in despair was to hope to die a decent death; And now he knows that he doesn't have to die, although Arthur is very strong, but Carolan, who knows Heinrich's strength, is not worried about him at all, you must know that you have heard such words about Heinrich from many people: "From Ireland to the Turks, Heinrich is one of the best warriors, and the only one who can defeat him is your father!" ”
"Maybe we have to add Rudolph now." Remembering the mad power of her savage brother, Carolan touched her shoulder with trepidation, he had suffered a lot of Rudolph's losses; Caroline, who had relaxed her spirit, now felt that her whole body was empty and had no strength, not even the strength to support her body, so he simply sat down on the ground, and this sudden action frightened Lisa, who had just climbed down the tree when she saw Heinrich appear, and stood behind him, Lisa hurriedly rushed up to serve her; She didn't know why Caroline didn't let him say anything and went down the tree to face that terrible creature herself, but she knew that if it weren't for Caroline, she would have died in some unknown corner of the forest.
At this time in the Klose manor, Rudolph paced up and down his room like an angry lion in anger because he was not allowed to go out to find his brother by Madame Canossa; He wasn't stupid, just because he didn't bother to think about those complicated things, he was very clear about the dirty methods between the nobles, in fact, combined with the knowledge that Caroline gave him last time, he easily knew what his mother was worried about. He secretly swore in his heart that this time the matter would never be over, and he would make everyone who dared to attack his brother pay enough price! And Lady Canossa, who had been praying in her room, suddenly felt that the depression that had been lingering in her heart disappeared, as if the clouds had dispersed after a storm and the sun finally appeared. "Blessed Virgin Mary, do you want to reveal to me again that Carolan has returned safely?" Thinking of this, Lady Canossa began to pray more sincerely.
On the outskirts of the forest, a heavily armed guard, led by Werner, the eldest son of House Salian, hurried into the forest; "Quick! Don't miss any traces of the forest! Find my hapless brother as fast as you can. Werner looked worriedly into the depths of the forest, he was the only adult man in the Salian family, so everything was not hidden from him, of course he knew what was going on this time, and he even had a rough inference about who was the one who did it; But now it's too late to think about this, so I can only try my best to find my unlucky brother as soon as possible.
In Memleben's palace, Herman was in his office giving some papers; When he heard the hurried attendant breathlessly tell him about Caroline's whereabouts, he didn't stop his movements, but no matter who saw the sudden bruises on his hands, he knew that his mood was not as calm as his expression; After quickly approving the rest of the paperwork, Herman immediately got up and took the cloak from the royal servant who had been standing near the door, and told him that he had something to return to his home.
When Henry heard the chamberlain report Herman's whereabouts to him, he waved him down, and he looked at the handsome face of his son Otto, sighed, and said, "My son, you must know that Caroline is in danger because of your throne. When Otto heard this, he actually gave a thumbs up and showed a trademark smile like Naruto's Xiao Li: "An! Father, you have to believe that Carolan is a talent I like, and she will definitely turn the corner! Those scum in the shadows can't hurt him. "Well, I hope so," Henry sighed helplessly, as he seemed accustomed to his son's incoherent answer. Otto scratched his head, as if wondering why his father showed such a heavy expression, and Henry sighed after seeing his son's performance, and did not continue to pay attention to Otto's words, but looked at the already dark sky outside the window and said to himself: "The wind and rain are coming, those jumping clowns should all jump out, so that those who have forgotten how the Saxon lion killed people can recall the feeling of forgetting, and they will know what awe is, This can be regarded as the opening ceremony of a large-scale move that will leave a name in history. ”
Assem, who was already wounded, was no match for Heinrich, who was already superior to him, and soon, the bear hunter who had threatened to kill Carolan just now was turned into a cold corpse, and there was not even a whole corpse left; Because Heinrich cut off his head with a fatal blow at the end, Heinrich always believed that only an enemy without a head could not get up and attack him again. Heinrich, on the other hand, was only breathing heavily after this struggle, and did not suffer even the slightest injury.
As if he had no intention of taking a break, Heinrich summoned his own warhorse; Then he turned back to Carolan and said, "Little master, we must get out of here as soon as possible, only when we return to the manor can we be considered completely safe." Looking at Caroline, who nodded and understood what she meant, and struggled to get up, Heinrich motioned for Lisa to help Caroline get on the horse.
As soon as Carolan climbed onto the horse, he saw an axe and a short spear in the leather pocket of the horse's buttocks, and he looked at Heinrich, who seemed to him to have always been proficient in swordsmanship; Heinrich followed his line of sight and said clearly after discovering Carolan's puzzled eyes: "A qualified warrior must be proficient in all kinds of weapons, there are not so many weapons for you to choose from on the battlefield, after all, weapon damage on the battlefield is very serious." Caroline nodded and stopped talking, instead closing her eyes and concentrating on regaining her strength.
Since the crossing, Carolan found that the new body seemed to have been greatly strengthened in every way; Eyesight, hearing, strength, physical fitness, and resilience are like the gap between a farm tractor and a Formula 1 car compared to the body that was previously permitted in the 21st century. Caroline only rested for a while, and then felt that her physical strength, which had already bottomed out, had recovered four or five layers.
Caroline, who has the strength, can finally take a good look at the scenery of this forest that she had inadvertently missed because she was hunted down; Although it was already dark, the forest stretched on a hill, and it still had a different flavor when viewed from high to low, and the dark forest gradually faded with the elevation of the terrifying black, and then seemed to be connected with the starry sky above the sky; Lisa, who seemed to have forgotten her previous experience, began to chatter again, talking about the beautiful legends of this forest for a while, and talking about interesting stories from her childhood, as if this dangerous pursuit of life and death had never happened at all.
Lisa's happiness seemed to be able to infect everything, and Caroline's own somewhat heavy mood became surprisingly better; He listened to Lisa's nagging while laughing and teasing Heinrich's giant sword, which was claimed to be indestructible but became pitted because of the short battle with Assem, Heinrich also said that he was helpless, after all, the smelting technology in this era is really bad, especially in Europe, where almost all iron-making is used, and high-temperature iron-making technology has not yet been invented, which causes the toughness of iron to be more than enough and the hardness to be insufficient; This has made the development of farm tools and giant weapons extremely slow. So even a good warrior like Heinrich did not have a good enough weapon to arm himself. During the chat, Caroline and the others joined a few of the Crozier guards, who had arrived after being dumped by Heinrich, and as the strength of the guards increased, everyone seemed to be a little relaxed, after all, they were almost out of the forest.
Just as he was about to walk out of the forest, Heinrich suddenly stopped Lisa, who was nagging all the way, and stopped everyone. "Ahh Caroline felt that it was fortunate that she didn't have a heart disease, otherwise she would have hung up without others doing it in such a joyful and sad toss as she did today, and it would save others from spending such a big battle to wish she died early. Lisa, on the other hand, was simply stunned by the scene.
It turned out that on both sides of the mountain path, there were suddenly a lot of figures, not to mention hundreds of people; And they were all armed, and if Heinrich hadn't discovered them in advance, the group would have completely surrounded Carolan and them, and even so the group still blocked them in the road; Finding that he had been discovered by Heinrich, there was a commotion among the group of people who seemed to be from all over the world, and then a black-robed man walked out and said proudly in an obviously deliberately suppressed tone: "Our master invited Young Master Carolan to his castle for a talk, I don't know if Young Master Carolan is here to appreciate his face." ”
"Ma Dan, when did I become so popular," Carolan looked at this formation speechlessly, judging from the language of the group of people at the time of the commotion just now, there were Bavarians, Saxons, Lorraine, and even Slavs, who did he provoke whom; Unless Heinrich and these warriors are reincarnated by the god of war or a Pandora fell from the sky, they all have to be planted here today. But it seems to be okay, this group of people waited for the rabbit here and did not release arrows, and it seemed that they had no intention of killing him immediately; Carolan thought for a moment when she was just about to tell Heinrich to let her go with them and let him find a way to break through and find helpers; Heinrich stopped Carolan and spoke: "Despicable black-robed rat, I give you one last chance to tell you what you mean; Otherwise, I will make you regret coming into this world. Heinrich said as he assumed an offensive posture.
", Uncle Hai, are you going to open a matchless?" Carolan looked at Heinrich's position, which was about to be head-on, speechless; The black-robed man was just about to say sarcastic about whether Heinrich was in a daze, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him and looked back first.
At this time, Caroline also heard a noise in the distance, and he looked up as best he could. I found that I had indeed sighed early when I had just lamented the great battle; A group of warriors with bright armor in the distance formed a triangular formation and killed, their division of labor was clear and tacit cooperation, the people inside released arrows, and the people on the outside fought hand-to-hand, and the rabble surrounding Carolan was not an opponent at all. Soon approached Carolan's side; And the handsome guy in the center of the formation, Carolan, couldn't be more familiar: his mother's cousin Werner.
The collapse came without warning, and this group of inexplicable people came in a mess; The troops who resisted Werner's brought in were inflicted heavy losses in a short time, and Heinrich suddenly rushed into the crowd and single-handedly rushed at the black-robed rat who seemed to be the leader; Soon the group of people basically fled, and they were almost caught and cleaned up. However, Heinrich did not find the whereabouts of the black-robed man, and it seems that he fled as soon as he saw that the situation was unfavorable.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Werner walked over and looked at Caroline a few times. Laughing out loud, he patted Caroline on the shoulder and said, "I knew you were still alive, good luck Carolan." Caroline also laughed and hugged Werner, who knew he could no longer think of himself as a passer-by in this world; Because there are also people in this world who are worthy of his concern.
