Under the extremely bright sunlight, the paladin was shrouded in an eerie black shadow, which made people feel an inexplicable tremor from the bottom of their hearts.

Every step William Mano took was so heavy that Julian felt like a thousand pounds of pressure on his chest, making Julian feel so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

Julien Rousseau, however, did not give up. He let go of the broken sword in his right hand and gripped the other saber tightly with both hands, which was now intact.

"I will never lose, for the sake of Frey, and even more for the sake of ......"

Julian cheered himself up in his heart. At this moment, not only the fighting spirit, but even the fighting spirit, William has completely crushed Julian, and Julian's proud swordsmanship, over time, can no longer bring him an advantage, but has become a burden, but Julian is not nothing, he still has faith......

"Shock!" Julian took a deep breath, let out a soft breath, and rushed into the pillar of sunlight, gathering all the strength of his body on the long swords in both hands, and stabbing at the strong enemy on the other side of the pillar of light.

In the face of Julian's preemptive impact, William did not rush to attack, a sneer wiped the corners of his mouth, what he was waiting for was Julian's sword, the weakness exposed under the psychology of rushing to win!

"Bang"--

The sound of metal clashing, accompanied by the violent impact of the battle spirits of both sides, caused a shock wave in the small room, and the entire paulownia building shook......

Julian stopped sobbing. There were no tears on his face, for for more than two months had dried his tears, and all that was carved into the frames of his eyes were shriveled, sunken, and unsightly.

He got up from his bed, walked to the table in the middle of the bedroom, and reached for a bottle of wine that lay on the table.

For more than two months, Julian had spent every night in insomnia and nightmares, alcohol became his only companion when he couldn't sleep, and despite the fact that the strong drink did not bring him any comfort, Julian allowed himself to sink into alcohol.

"Goo-goo-goo-goo......"

The bottle, which was already less than half of it, was empty in an instant. Julian shook it a few times, and after making sure that he could no longer shake out a drop of wine, he threw the bottle to the ground, and the whole person fell backwards, lying on the frozen, dirty floor in a "big" shape.

Although it was dark at night, it was also the time of the full moon, and the light of the full moon was pouring into the bedroom through the window.

By the light of the moon, Julian's gaze fell on an object hanging on the wall.

It was a knight's saber that had been cut in half.

In addition to the scar on his chest, it is another testimony to his fight with William Mano.

"Sword ......," Julian silently held out his hand towards the broken sword.

An unfortunate thing seems to start with a sword.

In the Rocard Empire, although the Rousseau family was in power, they were all civil officials for generations, and the men in the Rousseau family never picked up the sword, let alone said that they were real knights; because of this, the Rousseau family was always ridiculed by some generals and knight-born nobles. Although the elders of the family were dismissive of the ridicule, the young Julian felt that his self-esteem had been greatly damaged. For this reason, despite the opposition of his family, he resolutely signed up for the paladin training camp, and then, he stepped on the ship bound for the Key Island, becoming the first man in the Rousseau family to hold a sword, the first man to be awarded the title of knight, and thus discovered his potential swordsmanship talent, and became the dazzling focus and star of the students of the same period......

Now, Julian, however, wishes he could rewind the clock, back to before he signed up for the Paladin's training camp. He would rather be ridiculed for the rest of his life, and would rather his swordsmanship potential be buried forever, as long as an unfortunate thing can be reverted back to a time when it did not happen.

However, time can never be turned back. The broken knight's sword in front of him is the best proof of this.

The impact of the battle spirit's blessing on the metal caused a violent impact in the small room, and the entire paulownia building shook.

However, it was not the swords in the hands of the two men fighting on either side of the pillar of sunlight that collided together, because before the two swords collided, a third weapon suddenly entered and separated the two long swords.

"What?" Julian noticed the man who had suddenly interrupted his duel with William, and his body couldn't help but take a step back.

It's the same with William.

"Below...... To...... We ......"

If it weren't for the similar voice, Julian couldn't believe that the swollen man in front of him was the beech tree that had been with him just now.

At this time, the beech tree's body was twice as large as normal, and the sergeant's uniform and armor on his body were torn, and his skin turned dark red, which was obviously the cause of a large amount of capillary congestion, and the beech tree's expression looked quite painful, and the redundant face made it quite difficult for him to spit out every word.

But his terrifying appearance was not a reality, judging by the fact that he had interrupted the battle between two burning knights with a single blow from wielding his long sword, his strength had grown exponentially.

"Woohoo!"

The beech tree let out a roar like a wild beast, and raised its long knife to slash at William! William raised his shield to block the grid, but he heard a "boom", and the iron shield was split by the long knife.

William was shocked, he didn't expect that the man's strength had grown to close to that of a monster, and before the long knife cut off his head, he hurriedly escaped from the range of the long knife in a more wolf manner. Seeing that the blow was missed, the beech tree hurriedly swung his long knife and chased after William......

"There is no turning back. From the first day I joined the 'Woods', I knew that I could lose my life at any time. Behind the gigantic beech tree, another man's voice sounded, the diminutive thief leader Coconut Tree, "I have always been able to complete every task assigned to me perfectly, and if this is my last, it will never be an exception." ”

"Mr. Coconut Tree, what do you want to do?" Julian could not imagine what the Coconut Tree would do next.

"You go and save that little girl, and I and the beech tree will stop this guy. We people in the woods are not vegetarians. ”

The coconut tree gave Julian one last big smile, and then he pulled out a glass bottle containing some kind of black liquid from his bosom. The coconut tree twisted the lid of the glass bottle and drank all the unknown liquid inside into its stomach.
