Chapter 83: The Knight's Broken Sword
"Scatter and break out, and give me back to Presidium alive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause protecting Ionia is where your mission lies, and the glory returns. ”
At the sound of an order, the Knights of the Templars quickly dispersed, forming a small team of several people to continue to charge and kill in the chaos.
The wedge-shaped assault group composed of golden paladins was like spikes, still maintaining a sharp aura in the face of the frantically surging Imperial heavy cavalry legions, and they were indomitable.
"Knightly glory, a hundred battles will not fall!"
The leader of the golden helmet and red feathers shouted and rode his horse towards the mighty imperial general with a giant axe.
Behind him, several groups of Templars who had fallen behind completed an arc charge and turned around without hesitation.
"Knightly glory, a hundred battles will not fall!"
They chanted the same slogan, and less than twenty men and horses gathered in a long formation and launched a counter-charge against the two elite imperial legions that had oppressed them.
"Sons, kill me. Drag these knights to death with your lives, and bury you in the Imperial Invalids Garden when you die. If anyone can kill one of them, haha, Lao Tzu will award you a medal on the front line, and you will be promoted to three levels in a row. ”
Darius laughed and gave the order, and suddenly a golden spear stabbed in front of him.
Choking.
Darius's giant axe was protected on his chest to block the domineering golden gun, and the horse under his crotch was forced to retreat several meters.
"What a strong opponent, Lao Tzu likes it."
Darius swung his axe and took the head of the knight's leader.
The man's head tilted, and the strength of the axe's blade swept the golden helmet in half.
"General Noxus, hmph, you're more than a tenth weaker than the one you were twenty years ago." The knight leader sneered and threw the broken golden helmet to the ground.
He has a square face, a resolute face, a heroic posture, and the style of a general. The golden gun in his hand is in his hand, his eyebrows are like a sword, and he has a murderous aura.
"Platinum Duan powerhouse, haha, it really deserves to be the Golden Paladin Chief." Darius laughed, then looked disdainful, "Unfortunately, you're old. Hero Twilight, not to mention that you are only a quasi-hero level. ”
In the face of Darius's ridicule, the knight chief was unmoved, and said with a golden gun: "How can you talk about a false name in the place of death battle, the heart of a knight is old and strong." Heroes don't go to the unrighteous battle, Darius, you are in vain as a hero, and today you will be my soul under the gun. ”
[Kill the Quartet]!
The Darius giant axe swept wildly, shook back the stabbing golden gun, and laughed wildly: "Haha, what a knight's style." Uncle is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, old horseman, suffer death. ”
[Ruthless Iron Hand]!
Darius threw his axe and tore the chief knight off his horse. Immediately, he also jumped high from his horse, and a ghostly light emitted from the black axe blade, slashing down with the momentum of thunder.
Bang dang.
The axes and guns touched, and immediately Venus splashed everywhere. The ornate decorations on the surface of the golden spear were shattered, revealing the body of the spear forged by the hundred alchemy diamonds that bent into an astonishing arc, and pressed against the knight's long chest.
"Open!"
The knight shouted violently, and his back slowly straightened up and lunged forward. The spear rebounded, sending Darius flying into the air.
The hero is in the twilight, but the ambition is still alive. Sure enough, he is worthy of being a golden paladin, and he is worthy of being a quasi-hero-level platinum powerhouse.
There was a hint of respect in Darius's eyes, and the old man in front of him had been treated as a hero in his heart.
How many quasi-heroes in the world regret their lives because they can't get rid of the word "quasi", but in the battlefield to the death, as long as there is a brave and unyielding heart, who is not a hero?
Darius has ignored the current situation and is fully engaged in this heroic showdown.
However, he never imagined that he would actually lose.
Yes, after ten minutes, Darius felt defeated.
As a hero, he already has the strength to fight beyond the ranks. Gold Pinnacle Hero against Platinum Strongman, this is a battle of the same level.
He used his prime body to deal with a dying old man, and he had not won the other party after dozens of moves, and he was already defeated.
But this is war, and although he is angry, he still has to persevere.
At this moment, someone from an infantry squad in the rear suddenly rushed up and joined the battle group with a giant sword.
An infantry squad leader, and a woman, actually joined him in the battle of Darius.
This made Darius furious, and the axe swept backwards.
The woman actually blocked the blow with a broadsword, and said with confusion on her face: "General, I'm Rui Wen." ”
"Ruiwen, the vase on the recruitment poster?" Darius recognized the sword, recognized the woman, and felt more and more humiliated.
Fortunately, this woman was able to block him with an axe, and she still had some strength. Darius said indifferently: "Get out of here, this is my fight with him, this is the glory that belongs to the hero." ”
Rui Wen didn't roll away, but stood side by side with him with a broadsword. "The glory of the battlefield is to defeat the enemy, and you are a hero, but you are also a great general of the empire," she said. ”
Darius was stunned, the woman had already fought with the chief knight.
As a woman, Riven is powerful enough to be awe-inspiring. But compared to her enemies, she was far from enough. Although the chief knight was tired, the golden spear still shook the broadsword away again and again with great force.
Several wounds soon appeared on Ruiwen's body, and she seemed to be completely unaware of it, and her broadsword was soaked with her own blood, and her battle spirit became more and more intense.
Darius kept an eye on the battle, and the twenty Templars were already dead and wounded, but they had resisted the onslaught of the Lesser garrison under his command. Under the cover of the defensive line they formed with their lives, the main force of the Templar Knights behind tore a gap and was about to break out of the encirclement.
"Damn, you stupid woman is lucky today, I don't have time to wait any longer." Darius scolded, raised his axe, and fought alongside Riven.
Ten minutes later, the main force of the Knights Templar successfully broke through, and more than 20 people in charge of covering were all killed. But the elite of the Imperial army suffered at least a few hundred casualties, and this battle is really not a loss or a win.
The big picture has been decided, but the battle on this side continues.
The knight is one against two, but his fighting spirit is not reduced, but his momentum begins to slowly become low. A flash of sadness finally flashed in his old eyes, and he knew that this was his last battle.
Countless Imperial soldiers surrounded him, and Darius roared angrily: "Get out of the way, I'm going to capture him alive." Haha, a golden paladin, this is a rarity. ”
After a hard battle, Ruiwen was seriously injured at the moment, and was shocked by a magic energy from Darius and pushed out of the battle group.
"Hmph, women are just useless."
Darius looked at her with indifference and disdain, but Riven still looked at her with gratitude. She knew that the Grand Admiral was actually kindly helping her, but strangely enough, she then threw the same look at the chief knight.
Although she didn't know why, Riven knew that the old man had at least two chances to kill him, but he gave up on both of them.
The general and the chief knight fought fiercely for more than ten minutes, and they all began to become exhausted. Darius gasped, swearing and laughing at his own inadequacy. The knight chief was covered in blood, and black blood continued to splatter from the wounds torn by the axe blade under the golden armor.
Finally, Darius looked at the other party solemnly: "It's time to end, since you are bent on death." I will slay you under the axe with the power of heroic skill, this is ...... My respect for you. ”
[Noxus Guillotine]!
Darius leapt high, his demonic energy stirring up to unleash his stunner. The black axe slashed into the air, and the power of the vast magical energy that enveloped it turned into a black light that poured into the knight's long head.
Rumble.
The magic energy burst, and the knight's upright body shook violently. It's as if an old tree was struck by lightning and withered in an instant. Bones shattered, meridians festered, and skin glowed black.
The life force flew through his body, and the old man's body was only filled with a strong aura of death. He thrust his spear into the ground, and the whole person hung almost on it, swaying in the cold wind like a fluttering flag.
The knight's hands trembled, and his fingers were still leaning together desperately, as if he wanted to draw his spear again and fight for Ionia one last time.
Riven looked at him and told herself that it was just an enemy. But for some reason, her eyes suddenly became moist.
She took two steps forward, her voice trembling, "It's okay, you've proven yourself to glory." A soldier is not afraid of life and death, but victory or defeat is not a crime of war. It's okay, you can rest. ”
Darius turned his face away and sneered: "Stupid woman, what are you grinding and chirping." ”
"Kill the knight chief, and the victory belongs to Noxus."
Someone shouted from behind, and a dark shadow rushed up.
"No, don't." Riven rushed towards the Knight, trying to get in front of him.
"It's just in time, in order to protect Ionia, let me kill one more Imperial person today."
The chief knight suddenly raised his spear, and the light before his death returned, making him full of awe-inspiring murderous intent.
Rui Wen felt the terrifying aura and swung her broadsword diagonally from front of her.
However, at that moment, her eyes suddenly froze, and she sensed that there was also a killing intent behind her, and it was clearly locked on herself.
Choke.
The golden spear grazed the blade, knocking Riven's broadsword off a bit, and the blade slashed across her cheek and stabbed her back unstoppably.
Burst.
Rui Wen didn't look back, and she could hear the sound of the tip of the gun piercing into her body. At the same time, a person fell from behind.
Rui Wen didn't know who that person was, but she knew that the person just now was definitely going to kill herself.
Burst.
With another sound, Rui Wen's broadsword, which had been swung diagonally, was deflected to the middle, and it was piercing straight into the knight's body.
Rui Wen was dazed and asked, "Why, why did you save me again?" ”
She heard an old voice in her ear say, "Knights will die for war, but knights are not made for war." Combat can be the purest of all, regardless of good and evil, good and evil, only friend and foe. War, on the other hand, is too complicated, it is about gains and losses, pros and cons, full of deceit, and it is even impossible to distinguish between friend and foe. Save you because I can sense chivalry in you. ”
Rui Wen was even more dazed, and muttered, "Knight, what is a knight?" ”
The corners of the knight's mouth slowly tugged at a smile, as if he had exhausted the last of his strength.
Then he uttered the last words: "Son, when you know what you are fighting for, you are a knight." ”
The chief knight slowly fell, and Riven helped him to his feet, thrust his spear into the ground, and let him stand against his weapon.
Then Riven turned around and saw a man lying on the ground. The last blow of the knight was not as powerful as he had imagined, and the spear stopped when it pierced a hole in the man's body, and did not kill him.
The man was dressed in black, and in the Imperial Army, such a outfit meant that he most likely belonged to the secret intelligence agency.
Rui Wen's eyes were cold, and her voice was even colder: "You, why do you want to kill me?" ”
The man in black retreated in fright, lying at the feet of the general, pleading: "General, save me." Riven is a close confidant of General Kerkao, a pawn he sent to the expeditionary force, she must die, I received ......"
Darius's heart sank, and he realized in an instant, and killed him with an axe before the man in black could say someone's name.
Then Darius showed that rude and sluggish look again, as if he had not thought of anything at all, and cursed: "Lead your mother to a ball, and say some nonsense." ”
Riven didn't say anything, and returned to the dead knight chief. She reached for her sword, but couldn't pick it up.
This sword, given to her by the Imperial Command, was once upon a time regarded by her as the glory of her life. But holding it at the moment, there is only confusion in my heart.
"I'm Rivan, a warrior. But they say I'm someone's cronies, a pawn. Haha, who the hell am I? ”
"For whom my sword is drawn, and what am I fighting for?"
Rui Wen kept asking herself in her heart, and then laughed so loudly that tears came out of her eyes.
"If I don't know why I'm fighting, what's the use of this sword?"
Choke.
The broadsword, which was as wide and heavy as a giant shield, was actually shattered by Rui Wen's punch, and blood flowed from the back of his hand, dripping on the broken blade.
Riven picked them up one by one and buried them at the knight's feet.
"Knight, if I become a knight, will I know why I'm fighting?"
"Dear hero, thank you for your advice." Rui Wen bent down at the knight and bowed heavily.
She turned, carrying her half-broken sword and leaving the battlefield, she was going to find the battlefield that was truly her own.
Although she has no direction and no goal, a voice rings in her heart:
"The day the broken sword is reforged, and the knight returns."
