Section 6: Bloody Battle
Just when Harvey was weighing what to do with Orn, suddenly there was a noisy voice from outside, a stout man strode in, looking very anxious, Harvey felt very strange but did not make a sound, she just moved quietly to the dark corner, her affairs in the dungeon were only known to a few henchmen, but when the man's figure was illuminated by the light of the torch on the wall, Harvey saw clearly that it was his faithful deputy.
"Is something wrong?" Harvey emerges from the shadows, but even in the face of her most trusted lieutenant, her hand is always near the handle of the dagger, ready to draw the sharp dagger at any moment, not to trust anyone she learned in the Guild of the Villains.
"Oh no, Chief, we're under attack, and a large number of soldiers are attacking us." The deputy couldn't see Harvey's movements, and he warned Harvey loudly, the sound echoing through the dungeon, humming loudly.
"Soldiers?" Harvey was also surprised, although the villain's guild is notorious, but it has nothing to do with Duke Mason, for why there will be soldiers attacking, and how they sneak in through the labyrinthine channels and villains' secret whistles, thinking of this, Harvey hurriedly walked out of the dungeon, as soon as she got out of the dungeon, she heard the collision of weapons and the screams of the villains, these noisy sounds filled the entire tunnel.
"Hmm." A villain with a bloody face suddenly pounced on Harvey's body, he was slashed in the face, the knife marks were deep into the bones, and the flesh turned out and could no longer see the vitality, but the villain's vitality was extremely strong, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something to Harvey. Harvey put his ear close to his lips and heard him say in a staccato voice, Count Lausitz.
"Count Lauzitz? Is he attacking us? Harvey swallowed as he watched the villain say this, and placed his men on the ground, her brow furrowed, and her heart was full of questions as to why Count Lautz would attack her guild.
"What about the chief?" The deputy swallowed, he knew the hacked scoundrel, this was the first-class thug in the guild, and he was a sergeant before he became a villain. Able to kill an old sergeant. The incoming enemy must be tricky.
"Follow me." Harvey had a twitch of hatred in her eyes, and she pulled out her dagger and held it in her palm, and walked quickly towards the place where the sound of weapons was most dense, where a group of soldiers armed with spears and swords were besieging the villains. Several of these soldiers wore heraldic smocks of Count Lautz. Normally, it was not possible for all of the nobles' private soldiers to wear the smock coat of arms. Only the veterans and elites were able to mix up a coat of arms representing the family, and the private soldiers took advantage of the outnumbered number of people to greet the villains with their weapons.
But the villains are also fierce people who are not afraid of death. The weapons in his hands are also varied, and there is no fair duel at all to attack the enemy, lime powder, crotch swords, flying stones and other insidious tricks can be used, although the number of people is small, but it actually curbs the offensive momentum of the private soldiers, which makes the commander of the private soldiers extremely angry.
"Whoosh, whoosh~~~." The private archers also joined the battle, and many villains were killed by random arrows in the fight with the private soldiers, and the arrows flew into the chaotic crowd like locusts, killing the private soldiers and villains almost indiscriminately.
"Hmph, it's so vicious, I thought we were already the worst in the world, but I didn't expect the nobles to be even more despicable." Harvey watched the arrows shoot indiscriminately at both sides of the enemy, sneered and cursed, and at the same time did not stop, she lowered her body against the wall and moved quickly between the shadows, the gray and black clothes and leather armor on her body played a protective role, completely integrated with the surrounding dark environment, the noble private soldiers were attracted by the attacks of the villains, and did not notice Harvey's approach.
"Kill them, shoot the arrows." A noble private commander wearing an iron helmet with a few colored bird feathers stuck in his helmet gave orders to the archers with his sword, and the archers followed the direction of the sword and bent their arrows to aim at the privates and villains who were already fighting and rolling in front of them.
"Puff~~~." At the moment when the archers were about to release their arrows, suddenly Harvey rushed out of the shadows with a dagger, the dagger emitted a cold light and cut into a bloody ray of death, and the neck of one of the outermost archers spurted a pillar of blood, the archer screamed and fell to the ground, Harvey's dagger came out quickly and accurately, after the first archer fell, and then drilled into the ranks of archers, and suddenly the ranks of archers became a bloody hell of slaughter, daggers accurately cut people's throats, pierced hearts, and cut leg tendons, But the archers could not find an opponent to attack them, no, even if they did, it was no opponent, and in fear the archers threw down their bows and fled.
"Damn bed bugs." The commander of the aristocratic private army looked at Harvey in front of him angrily, the blood dyed the leader of the villainous guild red, she was wearing long hair, the blood was condensed into beads and dripping down, she stood in front of the commander of the noble private army, with a cold smile on her face, but the face stained with blood was particularly hideous and terrifying.
"It's your turn." Harvey raised his hand and pointed the red dagger at the commander of the noble private army, her eyes already seeing the nobleman dressed in fancy clothes as a dead man, and then slowly approached forward.
"Bed bugs, do you think these little tricks are going to beat me? I'm the son of Sir Abel, from a noble knight's family, how can I be defeated by a stinky bitch like you. The commander of the aristocratic private army clenched the sword in his hand, and he also stepped forward with the sound of the chain mail on his body, and under the protection of such fine iron armor, and the military training he had received since childhood, he was confident that he would take down this arrogant stinky woman, and he would cut off her and kill his men, and then throw her to the soldiers to manipulate until she died.
"That's a lot to talk about." The corners of Harvey's mouth twitched, and suddenly his feet kicked and stabbed forward, the noble private army commander let out a wild cry, and stabbed the sword in his hand at Harvey, but Harvey's movements were too fast, the sword almost grazed Harvey's cheek, as long as he moved a millimeter slightly, the sword blade could split Harvey's face in half, but Harvey was not moved, her body disappeared in front of the eyes of the noble private army commander, and the dagger stabbed silently from the commander's jaw.
"Hmm, no, it's impossible~~~ poof." The noble private commander opened his eyes in disbelief, he didn't believe that someone's movements could be so fast, as fast as a lightning bolt in the darkness, didn't this woman have the slightest fear, the dagger pierced through the jaw without armor protection, and the blood immediately overflowed the commander's mouth.
"That's a lot, phew." Harvey slowly revealed her face from below, the face stained with viscous blood, she said again close to the commander's ear, and then the hand holding the dagger pushed and turned, the commander's throat made a clicking sound, his eyes rolled and he was pushed to the ground by Harvey, and his body fell to make the sound of metal hitting the ground.
"Retreat, retreat." Seeing the commander of the noble private army being killed by Harvey, the private soldiers fled the battle, but they did not dare to retreat completely, but retreated to the completely occupied area, and these private soldiers seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here.
"Damn it." Harvey gasped and wiped his dagger against the corpse, the enemy's actions were completely unexpected, the private soldiers were determined to attack, almost unstoppable, and they blocked the only exit.
"Can the chief negotiate with the nobles?" The deputy suggested that this was also the idea of many people, who felt that the nobles would not suddenly be interested in them to survive in the sewers, that there must be something that caught the attention of the nobles, and that perhaps as long as they handed over what they were interested in, the nobles might let them go.
"Impossible, they are going to kill us, and if they were to negotiate, they would definitely have made contact with us before the attack, but to take such a sudden attack, it is clear that they want to kill us all." Harvey didn't think about negotiation or surrender, but then she reasoned down the veto, because Count Lauzitz has always been known for being ruthless, not to mention that she had heard some news, Count Lauzitz, the third in line to the throne of Duke Mason, the pretender to the ducal throne seems to have been moving frequently recently, and Harvey has been keenly aware that he and the villainous guild seem to be involved in a huge conspiracy.
"Chief, where are you going?" Suddenly, Harvey turned and walked into the dungeon, and the deputy watched in confusion as she wrung Orn out of the dungeon, and at the height of the battle, Harvey lifted Orn out of the dungeon.
"Say, do you really know Arrod of House Wendell? If you dare to lie to me, I'll cut your nose off. Harvey pointed a dagger at the tip of Orn's nose and said in a threatening tone, in fact, she didn't need to say threatening words, the smell of blood on her face alone was enough to scare Orn.
"Yes, yes, yes." For the first time in his life, Ou En encountered such a terrible thing, and he didn't even dare to say anything, just nodded desperately.
"Good." Harvey straightened up with satisfaction, as a villain in the lower echelons of society, she was very well-informed, she knew the contradictions between Count Lauzitz and the Wendell family, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, if you want to survive from the ruthless Count Lauzitz, you can only get the protection of the Wendell family, which is gradually rising, and the little blacksmith Orn in front of him who has a friendship with Arold is the best bargaining chip.
"Where are we going?" The deputy watched as Harvey led the remnants of the villains into a stinking sewage ditch that filled the entire ditch with black sewerage, where the villains defeit, and no one would come here on weekdays except for convenience.
"The chance to escape is here." Harvey tucked the dagger into her sheath as she looked at her men and said to them. (To be continued......)
