Chapter Ninety-Six: Temptation
"Despised in turn?"
Norman only heard Sophie muttering inexplicably, and saw the little girl in the blue and white apprentice knight's robe rush out at a faster speed, leaving another sentence in Norman's ear: "Wait for the opportunity to be beheaded." ”
"Are you as crazy as he is?" Norman angrily jumped straight to the feet.
"Don't forget, I'm also a knight, albeit a trainee ......"
Although he looks like he hates iron but not steel, the reason why Norman is Norman, and the reason why he was able to make Poker-faced Jestis hand over his back to him is because Norman knows the way of survival better than anyone else, if a group of people encounter a desperate situation of death, who else has any hope of survival, Jestis will not hesitate to say: Norman.
Because of this, Jestis gave Norman the task of rescuing the captives, even if he was just an orc assassin hidden in the shadows, but his thirst for life was stronger than that of any other person, so as long as Norman rescued people, there must be hope of successfully bringing the captives out of this mountain forest.
Looking at Sophie's moth-like figure, Norman once thought that she, like Jestis, would not even want her life for the sake of ethereal chivalry. However, he didn't know that Sophie was able to do this for a reason, and that Sophie loved life no less than Norman.
There is only one reason, and that is to hang on Sophie's chest all the time, like a sloth, Ali!
Sophie's seemingly light body is above Jestis, but the explosive power is above Jestis, because when Jestis rushed close to the orcs fifty meters, this distance has been completely exposed to the attacks of orcs and demonic beasts, but Sophie's figure also brushed Jestis in an instant, leaving a whisper in the air: "Pay attention to swimming, don't be reckless." ”
Jestis was stunned for a moment, wandering away? Don't be reckless?
Looking at Sophie again, like a heavy knight, she rushed directly to the wooden platform surrounded by orcs, as if she was wearing not a thin apprentice knight's robe, but a heavy heavy knight's armor, as if she was holding not a light apprentice knight's sword, but a heavy shield and a war hammer.
"The ignorant are fearless." Jestis sighed, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
Jestis didn't underestimate the orcs' formidable prowess in the slightest, but as he said, someone had to do something. The meaning of life is not how long you live, but what you have done for yourself in this short life. At least, in Jestis's eyes, it was worth exchanging one of his lives for more hope of survival. For Sophie, he can only feel sorry and sorry, he didn't plan to let Sophie join at all, but he didn't expect this seemingly weak and lovely girl to explode even more violently than him.
It's enough to have this confidant in life! Jestis clenched the big sword in his hand, and the incandescent fighting qi illuminated the surroundings in an instant, this is a typical light attribute fighting spirit, the knight of the kingdom, the knight of justice!
"Idiot, are you afraid that you are not eye-catching enough?" Unexpectedly, Jestis's indomitable momentum was extinguished by Sophie's fluttering words in the blink of an eye, and he only heard Sophie's last words: "Only when you are alive can there be hope, and when you die, there is nothing." I will live, but I will not collect the body for you. ”
It's obviously a word full of mockery, but I don't know why, in the ears of Jestis, it becomes domineering! He didn't know where Sophie's confidence came from, and he was able to retreat under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen orcs and demonic beasts, but Sophie's words made him hopeful.
The incandescent fighting spirit of Jestis perfectly attracted the orcs, because, just when Jestis was about to rush up to assist Sophie in the attack, he saw the orc shaman on the wooden platform suddenly waved his hands, and a piece of blood shrouded the orcs under the stage, and a full twelve orcs, in Jastis's surprised gaze, suddenly skyrocketed, bloodthirsty!
The orc, which was originally more than two meters tall, was blessed by bloodthirsty magic, and his body suddenly rose again, and before he could get close, Jestis could only look up, as if a junior high school student was standing beside Yao Ming with helplessness.
The distance was close, Jestis finally saw the face of the orc, the muscles swelled, and the neck of the orc, which was full of explosive power, was actually a huge bull head, full of bloodshot eyes, like copper bells, a heavy snort, turned into a white mist in the cold night wind, and with a roar in unison, the minotaur waved the heavy totem pole in his hand and rushed towards Jastis.
Minotaurs, the best of orc warriors, the best of the best! Don't speculate on the minotaur with a hard-working cow, because the enemies who have been so speculated have been smashed into a pulp by the totem pole in the hands of the minotaur. Minotaurs, natural warriors, possess unparalleled strength and endurance, and are among the very few orcs who can maintain a clear head after enduring bloodlust.
Jestis knew that this time, it was a kick on the iron plate!
Knowing that he is a knight, but how can a knight without a shield confront the orcs? Even if he held a middle shield, it was impossible for him to resist the crazy attack of the Minotaur with the strength of the human alone, let alone the Minotaur who had been blessed with bloodthirsty magic.
Originally, the plan was just to feint to attract the attention of the orcs, constantly contain, and rely on flexible body methods to create opportunities for Norman to rescue the captives, but after Sophie rushed up, Jestis couldn't retreat, even if he died, he couldn't let a woman attract firepower, not to mention, now, Jestis found that the minotaur who was blessed with bloodthirsty magic was faster than he imagined, and it was not so easy to escape.
Woo~ A dull sound of breaking the air came, and the minotaur in front had come to two meters away from Jestis, which was still outside the attack range of Jestis, but the minotaur with long arms could easily smash Jestis to pieces with a totem pole.
Jestis didn't dare to resist, as a veteran knight, he didn't just come to die, of course it was good to be alive. Defense is always what the knights are best at!
Holding the big sword upside down with both hands, facing the totem pole of the minotaur, it is a blow, this is not an attack, just a temptation, only knowing oneself and knowing the other can be invincible.
Boom! The two-handed greatsword slashed upside down on the totem pole, not only did it not make a muffled sound of chopping wood, but instead made a sound similar to the impact of metal, a huge shock force, almost knocked Jastis's big sword out of his hand, Jestis hurriedly lowered his body, rolled sideways in the direction where the totem pole smashed, and unloaded the terrifying power that made his arms numb.
Bang! As if the totem pole had not been affected at all, it slammed heavily on the ground, and a pit of dirt that was nearly half a foot high smashed out at Jestis's feet.
