Chapter Forty-Three: Alan's Ambition!
Like Gavin, Constance's seaweed-like hair after turning on Musou mode was windless, and a stream of air lingered around his body, so that the raindrops were clearly repelled by the air flow around Constance's body.
Constance's change fell into the eyes of the gladiators like a shock bomb, and they were stunned at once. Several gladiators muttered to themselves, "Paris is possessed."
Originally, I thought that Constance was just a warrior stronger than them, but I didn't expect Constance to be able to ask Paris to possess him, which is a miracle. The most recent miracle in Paris's history was performed by Goethe, the son of Paris, who was known as the son of Paris hundreds of years ago.
Constance, is he really the prophesied new master of Paris? The idea immediately took over the gladiators of Paris.
In the face of Constance's changes, Leonardo had no fear. Having fought Gavin a few months ago, he knew very well how terrifying Constance's combat power was now, and now facing the same situation, his fighting spirit was even more intense.
It has always been a shame for Leonardo that Gavin was able to knock him away with a random shot. Since fighting Gavin, Leonardo has undergone extremely rigorous training, just waiting for the day to repay the shame of the past.
The power in Constance surged outward, which gave him a feeling that he could easily control life and death.
Leonardo in front of him was not so threatening, and Constance only felt a slight wave of his right hand, and then turned into a stream of smooth towards Leonardo.
Leonardo had already focused all his attention on Constance at the moment, so Constance's every move fell into Leonardo's eyes. Seeing Constance's sword slashing extremely quickly, Leo quickly blocked the knight's sword in front of his chest.
Clang! The two swords intersected and there was a loud clash, which was heard far away through the heavy rain curtain.
Leonardo took a few steps back to ease Constance's strength. Leo licked his lips. A frenzied smile appeared, "Not bad! That's the real power!"
Without waiting for Constance to attack, Leonardo actually attacked Constance first. However, this time, Leo's movements were slowed down several times in Constance's eyes, so that Constance was able to easily dodge Leo's attack, and at the same time, he could also seize the loophole and fight back.
In just a few blinks of an eye, Leonardo had several more wounds on his body. Constance, on the other hand, was unscathed.
Constance raised an eyebrow and said, "You're so good, you're the only one who can hold up three moves under my men." But at this point, I don't have time to play with you. With that, the figure moved through the rain curtain and suddenly appeared in front of Leonardo. At the moment when Leo didn't have time to defend, he kicked Leonardo away. Leonardo flew into the building like a cannonball.
Eren took a deep breath to ease the tension in his heart. The memory of being seriously injured by Jiawen's shot last time is there, but with that experience, I have some foundation now.
Constance also noticed Allen without Leonardo's block. The Essis assault soldiers in front of him simply couldn't stop Constance half a step. Constance wasn't even willing to fight. Directly take a vertical leap and fly several meters in the air. Crossing the line of the assault soldiers, the knight's sword in his hand was raised, and he slashed at Allen.
Although Alan is usually free and loose, it does not mean that he is a scholar who eats and waits for death, or is powerless. In order to cultivate the friendship of the army, Alan often eats, lives and works with the soldiers, and does not relax in the slightest training in swordsmanship. Because he knows that in this backward world. Assassination, stray arrows or food poisoning, among other things, can be fatal. There is no strong body. Maybe a cold would be enough to kill him.
Constance's move came quickly and quickly, but Alan had already been prepared to defend from the beginning of Constance's move. The knight's sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the latter came first to block Constance's slash, although the force forced Alan to take three or four steps back.
However, the next moment, Alan quickly pulled out the hand crossbow that had been prepared and wound up a long time ago. Raising his hand is an arrow straight into Constance's chest.
Although Constance drove the matchless, he greatly improved his physical fitness. But after all, he is still a mortal human being, and he naturally does not dare to resist with his chest in the face of crossbow arrows that can penetrate even heavy armor within fifty meters. One sideways dodged the bolts.
Alan seized the opportunity to take two steps back again, raise his sword again, and face Constance from a distance. Although just that one gear. It had already made his chest ach with a dull ache. The guards on both sides also re-caught up with Constance and surrounded him in the middle.
Constance looked at the crowd around him, a look of mockery. The long sword in his hand snapped and rushed towards Eren again. This time, Constance did not pass the soldiers in front of him, but knocked out all those who stood in his way with a sturdy chariot.
In the face of Constance's charge, the assault fighters knew that they would die at Constance's hands, but they still did not hesitate to use their lives to block Constance's advance. For behind them is their supreme leader, the hope of the Essisians.
However, everything was like a mantis arm as a car, but in the blink of an eye, Constance broke through the soldier's barrier and crashed straight in front of Allen. Allen's hair fluttered under the air currents brought up by Constance, and the strong wind pressure made Allen's eyes narrow. Alan knew very well that if this move could not be stopped, then he might die. Even if you block it, you have to end up with broken bones.
At this critical moment, an explosion was heard from the wall that had been smashed by Leonardo, followed by a knight's sword with a cold light that burst out with masonry.
The knight's sword was impartial, and just as Constance was about to crash into Alan, it shot at Constance's head.
A strong sense of crisis reminded Constance that it was very likely that he would kill himself this time, so Constance twisted his body in the air at the last moment, and the knight's sword in his hand moved sideways, knocking away the knight's sword that flew over. Alan took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly retreated. Stay away from Constance.
After flying the knight's sword, Constance suddenly stopped killing Allen, and looked solemnly at the direction where the knight's sword was flying.
I saw Leonardo slowly walking out of the rubble step by step, Leonardo's eyes were blood-red, and waves of qi radiated from his body, bending the grass under his feet. Leonardo ripped off the chain mail from his body. The lean upper body was exposed, the muscles were protruding, and the green tendons were bulging.
Roar! Leonardo roared, and the next moment rose from the ground at a speed no less than Constance's, like a large bird flying over Constance. Make a fist with both hands and hit out!
Constance seemed to be under great threat, and raised his spirit of twelve, and the knight's sword in his hand was crossed.
The fists collided with the knight's sword with a clattering sound like a bell. It was a loud sound. So much so that the soldiers around had to cover their ears.
"Okay, I didn't expect you to step this far!" Constance exclaimed excitedly, seemingly very pleased with Leonardo's performance.
However, the next moment, Constance suddenly said regretfully: "It's a pity that now is not a good time, otherwise we have to have a big battle."
After saying that, Constance reflexively ran back and killed the gladiators. Then Constance shouted, "Brothers, come with me!"
The next moment, on the right side of the manor, that is, to the west, a sudden fire rose into the sky. Then the sky exploded, brilliant and dazzling on a black rainy night.
As if planned. Constance immediately led the gladiators towards the light.
Leonardo yelled, as if he was dissatisfied with Constance's escape, and quickly caught up, wanting to fight Constance.
Constance laughed: "Next time, let's fight!" The knight's sword in his hand flicked, and this flick used almost all the strength of Constance, and the knight's sword **** came out like lightning. The target is not Leonardo in pursuit. Rather, it was Alan who stood in the distance.
At this moment, Leonardo didn't have time to help Eren block the unstoppable sword, and the soldiers around Eren didn't have time to react. This sword is like that
Tremendous pressure and fear of life and death pressed on Allen's heart. At this moment, what beauty and blush, what king wants to dominate, all disappeared in Allen's mind. Only this sword flew towards him with an unstoppable momentum. And it's very likely that at the next thought, you will end your own life.
It's really unwilling to die like this. Originally, I wanted to see how much career I could make, but I didn't expect it to end like this. That was Alan's first thought.
This knight's sword looks really frustrated, and it is still pitted on it, and it is not beautiful at all. This is the second thought.
If I die this time, will I be reborn? Maybe I'll see the Lord God or something, and tell me. It's just a thought of separation, a life experience. This is the third thought.
Maybe it's just a dream. This is the fourth thought.
Dream? Eren seemed to have something in mind. There seemed to be a white-bearded old man, who lowered his body and said to himself, "Little Allen, you are going to have a long, long dream next, are you ready?"
Leonardo watched Constance throw the sword at Allen, and his mind cleared instantly. I was crazy before, and I didn't notice that Lord Duke needed protection. Could it be that because of this mistake of his own, he is going to cause the fall of the Duke?
At this moment, in a private house in the city of Tulga, a hooded man sat quietly in a small courtyard, and the civilians around him had fallen asleep, and there was a brilliant starry sky above his head.
The man sat quietly, blending in with the night. But the next moment he broke the calm, and when he looked up, the stars were still so bright. But the star map reflected in his eyes turned rapidly.
The hooded man suddenly let out a chuckle, like an elf in the night, as if he heard it, but as if he didn't hear it.
The stars in the sky suddenly lit up at this moment, and the starlight overshadowed the moonlight, illuminating the entire city of Tulga. Also illuminating the hooded man's face was John.
In a house in the city of Esis, a young girl stood with a spoon in front of a boiling pot. The pot was filled with a stream of green liquid, and from time to time two gurgles bubbled out. Next to the girl stood an old man with white eyebrows.
The girl pounded the liquid in the pot back and forth with a spoon, and complained to the old man, "Grandpa, is it okay?" It's been boiling for an hour, and the pot will burn through if it continues to boil. ”
The old man was unhurriedly flipping through a tattered ancient book in his hand, and said without looking back: "It's almost time, I'm waiting."
Hearing the old man's perfunctory tone, the girl pursed her mouth. But she still carried out the old man's orders.
Suddenly, the old man's hand as he turned the pages stiffened, and then returned to its original state. I saw that the old man carefully put down the ancient book in his hand, turned his head to look at the pot of liquid, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay." Okay, what a time!"
Constance threw the sword. Like a shooting star. The crowd at the scene didn't have time to react. And Leonardo, the only one who could react, was not by Allen's side, and Constance was almost smiling at the moment. The next moment, however, he couldn't laugh.
At the moment when the long sword reached his body, one hand firmly pinched the tip of the long sword. The long sword trembled constantly in his hand, as if he was unwilling to stop it, and wanted to go further. But in the end, it didn't go any further. It was a pair of fair, well-maintained hands. But it was also a hand with absolute power.
Alan looked at the long sword in his left hand, suddenly showed a mocking smile, and then raised his head to Constance who was departing in the distance. Firmly and forcefully raised his right hand. The right hand is clenched into a fist, and then, the middle finger is raised.
Constance raised an eyebrow, although he didn't understand why Eren was able to take the sword, and he didn't understand what Eren meant by this gesture, but he understood Alan's smile.
"Wait, we'll see you again someday." Constance muttered in his mind. After that, he no longer cared about Allen's affairs, and quickly took the gladiator behind him. Climb over the wall from the west side of Allen Manor.
After that, he took the lead, before the royal guards guarding the outside reacted. Quickly break through the encirclement and lead his gladiators to the path of freedom.
"Lord Duke! Are you alright, just ......" Leonardo regained consciousness and immediately stood beside Alan. Allen's move just now was too much for Leonardo to expect. The Duke obviously doesn't have such a strong strength, how can it be?
Alan held out his hand to stop Leonardo from continuing, and he shook off his sword. Ignoring the pouring rain outside, I walked into the rain.
Raindrops fall, blooming beautiful rain flowers on Alan's armor. In the distance, a bolt of lightning pierced the dense black clouds and pierced the dark night sky. And Allen's assault soldiers, although they were seriously wounded. There was still blood, but they still stood stubbornly in front of Allen.
"Line up!" Alan roared, and the sound was like that lightning bolt, lighting up the entire night sky.
Hearing Allen's order, the assault soldiers sprang into action, even though many were still wounded. But they did not have the slightest scruple about this, because in their eyes, the order of the great lord, Alan Ouranos, was the most important.
Alan looked at it and saw that there were only about 300 of the 500 Essis Assault Fighters left, and nearly half of them were wounded. However, Alan did not show a trace of distress.
Alan looked at the group of soldiers in front of him and shouted, "You have done a good job, you are the most loyal guards of my Alan Ouranos!" I promise you! Today you have protected me with your life, and tomorrow I will use my life to protect you, to protect every one of the people of Essis, and to protect our common home, Essis!"
Allen's soldiers were carefully selected and came from the families of the citizens of Essis. They weren't the muddy serfs, or the cheating city scumbags. They entered Allen's army, received Allen's patriotic education and the ideas of the cult of personality, and each of them was a valuable asset to Essis.
Alan looked at the resolute and brave eyes of these soldiers, and thought that many of them had already paid for their precious lives. Alan suddenly felt that he couldn't be selfish any longer. This world is not its own playground, but a real world. As the Duke of Essis, he is not only responsible for himself and his surroundings, but also for the hundreds of thousands of people in the territory.
If it's none of your business, then what's the difference between you and those nobles who eat and wait for death and only know pleasure?
Allen's words came very suddenly, but everyone was not unfamiliar, because when they were in the army, the officers taught everyone in this way.
And the one who felt it the most was undoubtedly Leonardo. As some of Allen's closest generals, although their loyalty to Allen is unshakable, they also know that Allen's behavior is just better than that of other nobles. Although Eren has led them to many victories and even defeated the Kingdom of Lorraine, they have always felt that Eren has a game mentality. For this reason, they can only think that Alan is too talented, so everything is just a game in his eyes.
However, hearing Allen's declaration at this time, Leonardo's heart suddenly felt a warm current welling up, as if he had found the true meaning of serving Allen for the first time.
"I am willing to die for the Duke!" Leonardo couldn't help but shout.
"I am willing to die for the Duke!" The soldiers behind him shouted after Leonardo, perhaps the shouts of more than three hundred people were too small compared to the noisy battlefield sounds that Eren had experienced, but they were the loudest in Allen's ears.
Alan is full of confidence at the moment, and he has the confidence to face all the difficulties ahead.
Let me see what the world is really like! Neither the church, nor the magicians, nor the nobles, could stand in my sight. (To be continued.) )
