Chapter Eighty-Four: Captain Kevin's Guard
"Ah...... Damn, damn it! Sooner or later, I'm going to gouge out your eyes and eat them! "The one-eyed owl that broke through the walls of the castle finally regained its eyes with his unrivaled recovery ability.
He looked around vigilantly and saw that the kid hadn't caught up, which was good. He needed more time to catch his breath and continue to digest the black crystal that had not been fully absorbed in his body.
"Who's there! I order you to come out from behind the trees in my capacity as the captain of the castle guard......" Kevin, the captain of the guard, led a group of guards from the castle gates, and the panicked nobles told him that the Lord had been assassinated in the castle.
He kept going, but there was still some distance between the city gate and the hinterland of the castle, especially the panicked crowds and carriages crowded, and he had to command the guards who were in a mess to maintain order. Now the whole castle is a complete mess!
With the powerful explosion and fire coming from inside the castle, the frightened horses under his crotch almost threw him off. But his whole person is almost out of control, if something happens to the Baron, what kind of face does he have as the captain of the guard. Looking at the collapsing castle, he struggled inwardly.
But when he saw a huge figure flash through the ruins, a gut told him that it was the culprit he couldn't let go! Even if something happens to an adult, if you can catch this thing, you will have an explanation.
So he sent all the elite guards around him to the castle, leaving only three or two people to go with him to track down the traces of the "assassins". I believe that if adults were still alive, they would understand what he did.
And now that he had finally found the man, he hid in the bushes in front of him, and Kevin and his guards drew their swords and prepared to attack.
"Hehe, I really don't know whether to live or die. I wanted to spare you your life, but you struck me in the mouth like a lost lamb. The one-eyed owl hiding in the corner of the bush didn't expect these bedbugs to really follow, and one of them was still familiar to him.
Click...... Bang! A humanoid monster that was much larger than Kevin had imagined smashed the waist-thick tree trunks, appeared with lightning speed, and blasted his guards away.
"Ahh......h
After becoming a knight, Kevin's willpower is indeed much stronger than these guards! But even so, he was still shocked into a cold sweat, and he now regretted that he had taken too many guards.
Could this monster be an adult troll? No, it's more like a mutated ogre. It stands to reason that a qualified low-ranking knight should have no problem dealing with an adult ogre, but the swiftness and strength of the ogre in front of him made him feel threatened like never before.
Escape? No, he believed that his strength was no longer that of an ordinary junior knight, and if he hadn't been too careless just now, he would have even thought that he could save those two guards.
"Hehehe, Kevin, I'm still the same after all these years. Don't you feel like you're overconfident? You see how clever that guard behind you is, he has long since fled. The one-eyed owl turned slowly, and the hideous, ugly face of the dried corpse squeezed out a terrible smile at Kevin.
"Don't you think you're overconfident", this sentence is like a hammer ringing a bell, echoing in Kevin's head, why is it so familiar?
"What, don't you remember me?" The one-eyed owl didn't seem to be planning to do it right away.
"Doto, master. You...... You're still alive! Kevin couldn't believe why this ogre-sized monster had turned into Doto, the former captain of the guard. It was also the same master who trained him and taught him all the skills of knighthood.
A fear deep in his bones made his hands and feet cold in an instant, and he knew that he no longer had a chance of winning, because what he knew was taught to him by the hands of the man in front of him. Unless...... The pair of elite guards he had taken back rushed back to his aid.
"I prefer people to call me the one-eyed owl, you know. And are you thinking that your guards still have a chance of winning if they arrive? Hahaha, I'm sorry to tell you that even if they come, it's completely impossible for you to defeat me like last time! Again, you'll never have that chance to pierce my heart again! ”
The one-eyed owl bent over Kevin, then stretched out two fingers and pinched his sword, and with a little force, the steel longsword was cut in two. Kevin, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief, froze in place as if he had given up, still clutching the hilt of the broken sword in his hand.
"Ever since the rumors of the resurrection of the dead began to appear, I knew that you would come back after the grave was hollowed out. It's just that what I didn't expect was that you actually sent the whole castle to the sky, haha. Kevin, who has a dead heart, prides himself on being never a coward, and he doesn't want to do anything more to beg for mercy knowing the character of the one-eyed owl, and he will not give up the knightly dignity he deserves.
"Do you know where you lost? In my eyes, you have always been the most courageous and gifted knightly squire. But what I appreciate the most is that you, like me, have great ambitions and desires, but know how to tolerate infinite tolerance only to burst out one day. That's why I chose you! ”
"But you have forgotten what I taught you, that you can't have both in everything, but you always want to hold everything in your hands. You could have ignored me to save your Baron, and what do you think you have left? ”
God knows if the one-eyed owl didn't kill Kevin decisively, is it because he hasn't been a "master" yet, and he met this uncompetitive disciple before and wanted to "educate" him well?
Bang Bang Bang ...... A few sudden applause were very inconsistent.
"Wonderful teaching. I wondered if the old man had been willing to do the same to me, at least I would have brought him two more bottles of his favorite wine every year. At some point, Oran, who was sitting on the top of the tree, stretched out and stood up.
God knows what Oran thinks, and after patiently watching the "warm interaction" between master and apprentice, he applauded and praised with grace.
"Oh? Do you know what old Morgan dog likes to drink? I think you should bring him a bottle of ......," but what was even more strange was that the one-eyed owl replied to Orlan as if nothing had happened.
"Stop! Stop, I'm not interested in knowing what the old guy likes, and I've always bought him the cheapest wine anyway. It's a pity that I haven't had a chance to ask him what kind of wine he likes since then...... Why don't I send you down and ask him how it is? Heheha! ”
"Hmph, you little madman like an old madman!"
The fierce light in the one-eyed owl's eyes flashed, his whole body was exposed, and the creaking sound of bones rubbing made Kevin beside him shudder. It seems that he has completely absorbed the energy of Sombra, and the stronger the prey Orlan likes, of course, the better!
In the next second, before Kevin could react and scream, his head had already sunk into the giant palm. Probably with the strength of the one-eyed owl, his cervical vertebrae had already been broken in two during the throw.
