Chapter 117: The Attack on Count McNuss
It was as if a large rock had suddenly been thrown into the calm waters of the lake......
"Something happened at home." It's a phrase that no normal person wants to hear.
The same goes for Duon.
The smile faded from his face, and he grabbed Cole by the collar and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Say it. You're kidding me, aren't you? ”
Cole didn't speak, just shook his head.
In fact, Duang also knew very well in his heart that Cole was not joking with himself, and seeing his anxious and sweaty face, something bad must have happened.
Is there a fire in the house? Or is the mother suffering from a sudden illness? Still is......
Cole was out of breath and couldn't say it clearly, he only told Duane that the Countess told him to put down all the things at hand and go home at once, quickly, quickly!
Beyond that, Cole didn't know anything.
Du Ang is really anxious now, although his mother is weak, she has always been steady, not in a hurry, no matter what happens, she is not shocked, so that she can say such urgent words, this matter must not be small.
Go home!
Go home now!
Duang was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't wait to put on a pair of wings and immediately go home to see what was going on, it didn't matter whether Laura won or lost in the ring, and the task 4 that defeated Laura would be talked about later, and there was no need to say anything, Duang immediately turned around and left, and Barbaroa followed, but when he left, Duang left a servant and asked him to go to the Gaia Knight and Durala, so that they would not watch the excitement here and go home immediately.
Fast!
Be sure to be fast!
When Duon arrived on the sidelines, he rented a horse and whipped it and ran as fast as he could in the direction of his house.
Return to the heart like an arrow.
When he arrived at the door, Duang suddenly noticed that something was wrong. Normally there was no one standing guard at the door, but there was a small gatehouse inside the gate, where several servants took turns to keep watch.
And now, Du Ang saw that there were four guards with hanging swords and swords and heavy armor standing neatly at the door.
It's all the most standard, the costume of the Northwest Army!
It's Duon's father, Count McNuss's soldier!
Seeing them, Du Ang suddenly chuckled in his heart.
For he noticed that although the four guards stood straight and their eyes were resolute, they were all wounded, and there were many traces of blood.
For a moment, a very ominous thought arose in Du Ang's heart: could it be that something had happened to his father?
How so?
Won't he be back in a few days?
Oh, my God!
Duang's mind was like a muddy mess, and he was completely confused, and hurriedly dismounted and rushed to the door.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The two guards stopped in front of Du Ang, glared, and drew their swords in half, they didn't know Du Ang, and when they saw a magician in a magic robe who was about to break in without saying a word, they naturally wanted to stop and interrogate.
"Fuck off, this is my house, I'm the son of Count McNuss, I'm going home!" When Duang saw that they had stopped him, he was also anxious and shouted. At this moment, the door opened, and a servant in charge of guarding the door came out of it, and when he saw Du Ang, he suddenly cried, and pulled Du Ang to go inside: "Young master, you are back, young master......
Seeing that this little magician was indeed the young master of the Earl's Court, several guards stopped stopping him, and without even looking at Du Ang again, they let him in.
Duang grabbed the servant by the collar and asked urgently, "What is going on?" ”
"Lord Earl, Lord Count he ......" The servant was already crying a little panting, and he was almost out of breath when Du Ang grabbed him by the collar, and rolled his eyes, unable to even utter a complete sentence.
"Tell me, what's wrong with my father?" Duang grabbed the servant by the collar and shook it vigorously.
"Old boss, you and you are calm, you will kill him." Barbaroa was also anxious enough to see Duang like this, and hurriedly came over to break Duang's hand.
At this moment, I saw the old housekeeper Pi Ping walking out of it: "Young master, you are back, come with me." ”
Du Ang hurriedly walked over, and asked as he walked inside, "What's wrong, tell me quickly." ”
Lao Piping glanced at Du Ang, and then sighed softly.
Just as Duon thought, something did happen, it was Count McNuss.
A few days ago, Count McNus set out from the Northwest Military Headquarters and returned to **, firstly, because there were some military affairs that needed to be dealt with in person, and secondly, it was also for the sake of saving relatives.
He hadn't been home for nearly a year, and when he thought of his beautiful and docile wife, and Duon, his voice and smile echoed in his mind, and Count McNus was so eager to fly back to his relatives at once.
However, on the way, an accident happened.
At the foot of a deserted cliff, Count McNus was in a terrible ambush.
A whole group of masked samurai, surrounded the ranks of Count McNuss, and did not say a word, did not ask for money, and did not want any living words, just one word: kill!
This team of samurai have a very high level, their subordinates are clean and neat, and their martial arts are also very high, at first glance, they are not the kind of robbers who usually block the road and rob, and the location they choose is also very particular, it is where the border between the two provinces is located, far and near deserted, and at first glance it is prepared, premeditated and targeted.
There was no doubt that their target was certainly not someone among Count McNuss's henchmen, but it was clear that their only target was Count McNuss himself.
In a hurry, Count McNus was a little flustered and suffered at first. However, after all, Count McNus was a battle-hardened Imperial general, and after a period of ups and downs at the beginning, he stabilized and began to command his subordinate guards to counterattack.
It's a fierce battle.
Although the enemy's force is very strong, Count McNus is not a vegetarian, as the top ranking general of the Bauhinia Empire, Count McNus is the kind of civilian general who can only hide in the tent and strategize, and he himself has a good martial arts, up to level 55. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Count McNus himself went into battle, and a heavy sword danced like a raging storm, and in just a few rounds, as many as six enemies died in his hands.
Lord Earl is so fierce, his subordinates are naturally demoralized, and with an order, the servants put out the most classic sawtooth long snake formation of the Northwest Army, which is connected from end to end, and the enemy is constantly **.
Gradually, the scales of victory began to tilt in favor of Count McNuss, and the group of masked warriors were retreating, and Count McNus calmly ordered his subordinates: "Don't kill them all, remember to keep a few alive!" ”
But at this moment, in a distant wood, there was a fireball coming.
The target of this fireball was not the Servant Guards, not the masked warriors, nor Count McNus himself.
But...... The top of these people's heads.
On top of a cliff!
With a snap, the fireball exploded on a large rock at the top of the cliff, scattering sparks.
Then, soon, almost everyone heard a hissing sound overhead.
It was a very strange sound.
Hiss......
Count McNus looked up, his face changed suddenly, although he didn't know what it was, but the experience of fighting on the battlefield for many years still made him smell a hint of danger.
"Retreat, retreat!" Count McNus shouted his orders.
But it was too late.
With a huge explosion that shook the earth, the cliff above was blown apart, and countless rubbles fell like a storm, and among them, there was an extremely huge boulder the size of half a house.
With the terrible sound of the wind, the boulder was directly photographed, except for Count McNus and a few people, the others, almost without even having a chance to scream, were all pressed down by the boulder fiercely, and there was no sound.
And the people who survived were also extremely embarrassed, and the rubble that kept falling above their heads, like splashing raindrops, cut through their faces and bodies, and were stained with blood.
"Ah~~"
Count McNuss's eyes were red with pain, not from physical pain, but from heartache.
Those who were pressed below were all old brothers who had been with him for more than ten years, training together, chatting and farting together, drinking and talking about women together, and blowing ** with their shoulders around their shoulders, although there is a difference between superiors and subordinates, but the feelings are incomparable to ordinary people.
Yes, they are all warriors, they are all warriors who do not know which day they will be pierced through their chests and die on the battlefield, this is their fate, it is the path they have chosen, and it is also the life that truly belongs to them.
If they die on the battlefield on the front line, by the sword of the enemy, Count McNuss will grieve, but he will surely think that they have died a well-deserved death, a glorious death, and have received the most perfect ending that a warrior can get. But now? But they were inexplicably attacked in the hinterland of their homeland, and then in an even more inexplicable explosion, they were crushed under a big rock in a miserable explosion.
Count McNuss's heart was broken.
He rushed over like crazy, digging the ground with his fingers, digging desperately, but how much strength can the flesh and blood have? In just a few seconds, Count McNath's hands were already dripping with blood.
"Earl, go quickly, you can't stay here any longer." The two surviving guards were not allowed to distinguish between the guards and walked away with Count McNuss, although those masked warriors were also crushed under this big stone, but this place, who can guarantee absolute safety? In particular, the fireball that caused this explosion just now was clearly the magician's fireball technique, where was that magician? Who is he? How many people are there? No one knows the exact answer, and the only thing they have to do now is to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.
However, Count McNus shook them off, and went back to dig like crazy: "No, I'm not leaving, Old Knife, Foreman, they are all buried in it, I can't leave them alone, come on, you also dig with me, this is an order......"
"Earl, they're all dead!" It was a young guard who spoke, his bloodstained face was already a ripple of tears, and under the big stone were all his robes, all his brothers, and how could Count McNus be willing to give up his heartache?
However, no matter how reluctant he was, he must leave as soon as possible, he knew that all the surviving guards knew that their most important task now was to protect Count McNus and get out of here as soon as possible.
But at this moment, just behind them, there was a strange noise, squeak, like the sound of a car turning...... (To be continued.) )
