Chapter 32: Proudmore (II)
"How is that possible!" Gianna and the others came here to realize that something was wrong. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a militarized post station is not guarded by a single soldier outside, and it feels empty from a distance. There is no smoke and war and even like no one lives,
"It's very clean~?. It seems to be...."
"The army has been transferred?" said Melwin, who guessed that it might be the best possibility, but for now, the odds were low, and it was denied by Falik, who had just gotten involved in managing military affairs.
"The king has no order to transfer troops at all!
"Where's that guy?"
"I don't know, maybe...."Sasarian, who usually has a smiling face, also showed a vigilant look, he wanted to express everyone's tacit fear, yes, this can only be achieved by a clean sneak attack, and the perpetrator can only be the gray sideburns Gilneth troops.
I think everybody knows that. As for his motives, he signaled not to go on.
Perhaps my best bet now would be to go back and report to the royal city, but seeing Gianna's anxious and worried face, I knew that I had better not make such an evasive order now, after all, there was still a reception for her father, who knows if this scene was going to 'receive' him, or if he had already been killed there?
But it wouldn't be realistic to get around here and go to Gilneth to find out what they were going to do, so we had to go inside.
In the past, a few of us would not have been afraid of such a threat to humanity. But we had come to greet our guests and Gianna's father and daughter, and we didn't even have a weapon to defend ourselves with the sword that Clarsus had given him, with him.
"Wen Leisa, can you see the details inside?" I said to the ranger beside me, for the ranger, the innate advantage of eyesight can indeed help us a lot, but she shook her head when I asked.
"No," said Winresa, who was a little regretful, and then he made a suggestion that made me feel cheated. "I think you should go in and have a look. ”
"How can this be. ”
"To who knows what danger is there. ”
When I made the offer, my fellow paladins immediately objected, as it was their duty to protect me. As for their rejection of the proposal, I was not surprised at all, and as for Wenlesa's proposal, I really couldn't understand it, but I didn't think deeply about what was wrong with it, and with my personality and the Gianna around me, I knew I couldn't refuse, so I went along with her.
"Then listen to the rangers, I'll go," in order to make them no longer have an opinion, I also said the advantage of my going. "He's not targeting me...", I gave a silent look at the eager Gianna, and then said it tactfully. "If it's bad, the only one who can do that is the Greysideburns Guard, but he's certainly not so stupid as to even want to kill me. With that, I jumped off my horse, and just as I wanted to break in alone, Gianna was still holding my hand tightly....
"Let's go together...."Gianna stared at me with moist eyes, I could understand her mood right now, and indeed if the worst-case scenario became, that is, after the loss of a loved one, she would not want to lose something more important....but I still vetoed it.
"If I'm in danger, your spells can still be used from afar. I broke free of her hand as I said that, and then Falic threw my only weapon, the sword of Crassus, at me, and I ducked in without my head heading forward.
As I walked, I felt that something was wrong, not from the empty outpost in front of me, but from the feeling that everyone gave me. First of all, I think the best person to come and explore the information is Winlessa, after all, we are far inferior to her in terms of agility, speed, and observation, but she suggested that I go here to find out, and I don't think she is a death or selfish elf. And Gianna's spells, maybe they should have a skill called invisibility....Is it only for static individuals?I just thought to myself, but I'm more concerned about what's going on inside the outpost.
I walked around and entered the barracks after feeling that there was nothing out of the ordinary, and just as I stepped through the gate, suddenly a masked human figure with a sword rushed out of the main hall house with a giant sword wrapped in black cloth. I knew that the comer was not good, but seeing that he was only one person, I did not choose to run away, so I drew my sword and rushed over to cut him.
We collided with each other, and although its blade did not touch me, the impact of his greatsword was like a strong wave hitting my face, so I immediately recognized the true body of this sword....
"Tideblade of Proudmoor?!"
I wondered about this, but the masked man didn't answer my question, in fact, he didn't admit that I knew that I didn't misunderstand the identity of the sword, and if the sword was on this person's body, it only meant that the original owner might .....
"No!" I was angry at the thought of this. Although the greatsword in his hand is extremely powerful, my sword is also not a vegetarian, and he can definitely feel the burning sensation, for example, the first time we collided, my Red Dragon Sword completely burned all the camouflage wrapped around the sword, and the bare eyes on his face from time to time have already shown that its fire effect also affected this human.
The gap between swords is equal, and so are our skills.
He is better at experience and skill, but the greatsword in his hand gives him strength but also affects his ability in this area, for example, every time he dexterously wields a weapon and tries to rely on his agile skills to sneak up on me, the huge mass of the sword still exposes his path and gives me time to react, so all his sneak attacks cannot succeed.
I'm better at strength, especially me, but my saber doesn't show its own strength when it comes to fighting it. Whether I cut horizontally or vertically, he could easily block it as if he were holding a strong shield. After a dozen rounds, neither of us achieved anything, but we were still staring at each other.
I know that the situation will only depend on the speed of our teammates. That's what I'm worried about, I'm sure at the beginning of the fight, I'm sure the sighted rangers will see that I'm fighting a stranger, but they've not shown up yet. On the other hand, this human, although his combat power can be said to be the best among humans, I still can't imagine that he will wipe out the entire army camp.
And there can only be one explanation for the intersection of these two things. That is, he must still have men, and it is likely that they have already done it to my unarmed best friends by now, and they have succeeded....
I thought of this and turned my head sharply to look back, but I couldn't see anything.....
"They didn't come?" I said silently, and I couldn't help but get nervous. I know that they are not the ones who will not be saved, so the only explanation is that he has actually succeeded.
I looked back at him, and by this time he had already swung his sword at me, and I could only hurry to deal with the uneasiness of my friend, and at this moment, his greatsword directly knocked my saber away. Indeed, the experienced masked man knew that this was the best chance to defeat me, and he did not hesitate to take it.
And I didn't feel sorry for the loss of my weapon, but I didn't feel sorry for not being able to concentrate just now. After all, I'm sure he has other men. Yes, even if I continue to hold on like this, when they are all together, I will still lose to him in the end, but now it is a little earlier.
At this moment, he was stabbing at me with his sword, and I knew that this was a move to take my life, but there was no need for me to resist, and he didn't even spare me, let alone my dear and best friends, and without them, I didn't even need to win a reprieve.
The moment the sword touched my armor, it froze, and the masked man withdrew the blade of his sword and removed his mask. Soon a familiar face appeared in front of me, and all that followed was doubt.
"Proudmoor....?" Just as I wanted to call out his full name, I stopped saying that he was also my elder, so I called out his honorific title. "Your Excellency Admiral. ”
