Chapter 22: Doctored Memory
()" for ...... Miscellaneous...... "......Blood and life are rapidly draining along the long sword piercing the heart, and from the round eyes of the cedar tree, I can clearly see unwillingness, anger, and terror, but most of all, I am puzzled. Please use this site.
"You wicked people, how dare you do not favor the Pope? Those who are enemies of His Majesty the Pope are my enemies!" William's eyes showed no mercy, only the wrath of the holy knight against filth, and the solemnity of the iron-blooded judge judging the evil.
"......No," William's answer made Cedar's mind dizzy, and he almost used up the heat of his life to utter his last cry.
William jerked his sword out of Cedar's body, and then kicked Cedar in the stomach before the latter's blood spurted on him, kicking him backwards and flying backwards, and the room was stained with bloodstained crimson.
"Hold on!" Julian and Coconut Tree rushed over to catch Cedar's body. The coconut tree pressed his hand against the wound on the cedar's chest, and Julian took out a silver cross to heal him.
"Who the hell are you—who are you?" Selina pointed at William with a shudder, she couldn't believe that the man who had killed her companion was the one she had tried to rescue, and the only explanation was that she had mistaken someone.
However, the other party's answer dashed the only hope she had in her heart. William raised his sword, stood proudly, and swept the room with a judgmental gaze: "You sinners are not qualified to question my name. But since you are in my hands, it is necessary for you to know who will punish you for your sins! I am the paladin William Mano, and do not forget the name of jì until purgatory weeps to your evil god!"
"No way!The Pope is the sinner, he is the one who tried to slaughter thousands of people with the Tower of Seven Sins in the name of God, and he is the one who deserves the most sanction!"
"Sadly, you have fallen so corrupted by evil, that you have no cure at all. William shook his head and sighed. The fact that he did not act immediately did not mean that he was moved by compassion, for it seemed to him that these sinners were already dead from the first blasphemy, and now he was only leaving the sinners three minutes to repent and say his last words, according to the custom of executing heretics.
Thirteen years ago, you gave up your original self and left the Knights Templar in search of true freedom, and last year, you returned to St. Papal's Island to uncover the secrets of the Tower of the Seven Sins, only to be mortally wounded by the Pope's siege. Could it be that these things are all fake? Why would you, who are so strong in heart, suddenly give up your persistence, and instead go along with the Pope and fight for the tiger? What kind of price did the Pope offer to make you fall into the way you are now? Answer me! You 'free-freedom knight', William Mano!" The beech tree hissed and asked the famous "free-freedom knight" in front of him.
"Shut up, don't let you and other sinners continue to insult me. What the Tower of the Seven Sins, the Freelancers, I don't understand what you're talking nonsense. I am a paladin of His Majesty the Pope, and I have been guarding His Majesty for the past twenty years, and I have never left the island of the Holy Pope. William's murderous aura was even stronger than before, and he thought that the beech tree's words had hurt his character.
The coconut tree, who was in charge of holding down the cedar's wounds, said: "I see! He is indeed the William Mano we are trying to rescue, but his memory has been tampered with, and he can no longer remember what happened when he was a 'freelancer', and he has replaced it with a false memory made up." ”
"I, I'm ......" The drowning cedar tree reached out to grab Julian's shoulder, he seemed to have something to say, but due to the severity of his injuries, before the words could be spoken, his heart had stopped beating, and the bloody hand slid down Julian's shoulder, staining Julian's sleeves into a blood-red color.
Coconut Tree closed the eyes of his dead partner with his hand, and said to Julian in the calmest tone possible, "He wants to tell you that you are our only hope now. ”
"I understand. Julian nodded silently. Without the interpretation of the coconut tree, he could guess what the cedar tree was going to say in the end.
At this moment, the murderous aura in the room suddenly increased, transforming into a real death threat.
"It seems that you sinners will not repent, and it is time to finish your last words. "Three minutes went on, and Willian was going to attack.
The first sinner the paladin wanted to punish was the beech tree who had just "insulted" his personality.
Although the beech tree had already been prepared, at the moment when the two swords clashed, he completely understood that in front of the powerful paladin, no amount of defense would be of any use. Not only the speed of the sword, but also the strength and accuracy of the beech tree can be imagined, between the lightning and flint of the two swords, the waist, shoulders, and arms of the beech tree have been hit by the sword in many places, if he didn't insist on using weapons to protect his vital parts, I am afraid that he would have followed in the footsteps of the fir tree.
But even if you can dodge the first move, you can't dodge the second move. Without giving the sinner any respite, William's sword light had already shrouded the beech tree's head before the beech tree could raise his sword to defend it......
Suddenly, a dagger shot at William's back. The paladin, who was aware of this, jumped sideways, and the dagger flew under him, and the sword that stabbed into the head of the beech tree was also half a beat slower, although the beech tree was not as good as the paladin, but he was not bad in his own right, and seized the opportunity of this half beat, and stepped forward a little on his toes, escaping the range of the long sword.
"Hey!" Before William pursued the beech tree, a shout sounded from behind him, and he saw a pair of hooked claws on the coconut tree's gloves, jumping up in the air and killing William.
William sneered, he threw the long sword in his right hand upward, and at the same time rotated counterclockwise with his right foot as the axis, just when he dodged the claws of the coconut tree, and when the coconut tree just landed, he grabbed the long sword in mid-air with his left hand and stabbed it diagonally towards the coconut tree.
only heard a "bang", and before the long sword pierced into his body, the coconut tree had already stuck the long sword with two hooks, one front and one back, and couldn't move. To become the leader of the famous thieves' guild in the Pope's Dominion, the coconut tree naturally has its advantages, this pair of iron hooks, is his usual "work" when he uses a tool to climb the wall and enter the room, and can also become a weapon when fighting, for the use of two-handed hooks, the coconut tree has long been quite proficient, like now, with two claws to jam the opponent's blade, and then unload its weapon, is the coconut tree's gatekeeper skills, he has defeated many enemies stronger than him with this move, but unfortunately he is now fighting against a paladin.
William's move was extremely fast, and at the moment when the long sword was stuck in his claws, he did not use brute force to fight for the blade with the opponent, but took the initiative to release the hilt; William took two steps forward and punched the coconut tree in the lower abdomen. "Wow!" This punch seems ordinary, but it contains a huge force of 100 catties, not to mention that it was hit by a soft abdomen, and the coconut tree spewed out a stream of blood arrows, and the whole person flew backwards.
The hook was released by the master's loss of control, and the long sword was thrown into the air, William was unforgiving, reaching out to catch the long sword in the air, but his body continued to rush forward, and the tip of the sword pierced straight into the center of the coconut tree's eyebrows. Due to William's extremely fast movements, the wounded coconut tree could not resist or dodge at all, and his head was about to be pierced by a sharp blade......
"Boom"!
A long blade swung William's sword away. The coconut tree that retrieved a life was short, leaned back, and rolled back to the rescuer for two consecutive years. It was the beech tree that had just been pressed hard by William who saved the coconut tree, and the long sword in his hand turned into a long knife more than 2 meters long, it should be said that this form is the real form of this weapon now, and it was only sealed before.
"Now that he's lost his memory, there's no point in our mission. The beech tree said to the coconut tree that had retreated to his side.
"And he killed the cedar tree, and if we don't use our true skills, we will surely die at his hands. The coconut tree responded.
"Hmph!' 'True Skill'? "Hmph!" William sneered dismissively, his dancing sword as if it were about to cut through the space, and the room was filled with a sword wind that tore through the skin.
Before William could rush over, the beech tree had already attacked first, and the long knife of more than 2 meters included the semicircular area of the same length as it into the attack range; I saw William swing his sword to block, sparks splashed everywhere, and the beech tree waved such a long weapon, not the slightest bit stupid, but also felt that his strength had increased several times compared to just now, and William's offensive was forced to slow down.
Taking advantage of William's frustration in his attack, the coconut tree rolled to William's feet several times in succession, attacking his feet with its hook and claws. The speed of the coconut tree was also several times faster than just now, which William did not expect, so he had to retreat. But William retreated, and the long knife of the beech tree followed closely, and the gap between the continuous swing of the long knife was filled by the lower attack of the coconut tree.
One is long and one is short, one is far and one is near, one is up and down, the beech tree and the coconut tree cooperate so closely, it can be seen that it is not a temporary idea, there must have been many joint attacks before, even if it is a powerful paladin, it is forced to retreat again and again.
After several onslaughts, William was forced to the wall, and there was no way out. Facing the simultaneous attack of the long knife and the double hook claw, William did not panic at all, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, the long sword in his hand did not block the long knife, nor did it resist the hook claw, but picked up the bed next to him, and the whole sheet was picked up by the tip of his sword, and rolled towards the long knife. The sheet was rolled up on the long knife, and at the same time William jumped sideways, and the coconut tree's combo pounced in the air, and William kicked two kicks with "tom" and "tom". The coconut tree avoided the first kick, but was hit in the forehead by the second kick, and flipped backwards, and the forehead immediately bled profusely.
The beech tree struggled to turn the long knife, "hissed", and the sheets rolled up on the long knife became cloth crumbs that fluttered around the room. Between the scattered crumbs, I saw William standing proudly on the bed, looking down on the two of them, and at some point there was a shield in his left hand that was originally hanging on the wall.
"It seems to take a little more time than originally estimated. But," William's gaze was like the sharp beak of an eagle, pecking at the eyes of the beech tree and the coconut, "and in ten seconds, you and the others will be killed!"
"10 seconds?" Even though there was a difference in strength, the beech tree was also shocked by the confidence of the man in front of him, and he was obviously forced to retreat just now.
"You're so arrogant!" said Coconut Tree, angry at William's arrogance.
"He has seen through your movements and routines, let alone 10 seconds, even 5 seconds is enough to defeat you. ”
William turned his gaze to the speaker, and saw that the other person was the young man in the sergeant's uniform, and as soon as he regained his senses, William noticed this person, because from between his eyebrows, William sensed an extraordinary temperament.
Julian drew the two knights' swords from their scabbards at his waist, stared at William Mano, who was high above, and said aloud:
"From now on, I'll be your opponent. ”
