Chapter 192: Self-Sacrifice
Simmons, who is holding hostages, is full of frustration and despair. He finally realized that the young magician in front of him was far more terrifying than the great magician, and it was not something he could deal with alone. As a high-level swordsman, his strength is not weak, and if he wants to escape Allen, he may not be able to stop him, but he is unwilling. This was his first mission after becoming the head of the Lua Church Guard, and before leaving, he had patted Bishop Dennis on the chest and promised that he would bring Viscount Benn and his wife back to the business, but he didn't expect him to be wrong, and the situation took a turn for the worse, and the other party suddenly had an additional magician accomplice, and he changed from a hunter to a prey in a blink of an eye. He made a mistake this time because he was too careless, if he could bring a few priests and prepare a few more crossbowmen, he might not lose, but even in the current situation, he was not willing to go back alone, otherwise Dennis's opinion of him can be imagined, if he still wants to make a name for himself in the Holy See, it is almost impossible to go further.
So Simmons gave up the plan to escape, and planned to fight again, even if it was a risk, he would kill this magician, as long as there was no magician, although the number of guards of the Benn family was large, they were all rabble, and he alone was enough to deal with it. However, how to deal with this magician is a difficult problem, and Simmons is not sure of knocking him down head-on, but fortunately, there are hostages next to him who can be used, so he took advantage of Allen's supplementary magic attack on his subordinates, captured Mrs. Benn and the two children, and placed them in front of him, protecting himself tightly, not even a single corner of his clothes leaked out, in order to prevent Allen from suddenly launching a magic raid on him.
"Let them go, I'll let you go, or you'll end up like them. ”
Alan pointed to the festering guards who had fallen to the ground and threatened.
"Don't think I don't dare. ”
Simmons suddenly waved his hand, and the short blade in his hand had already slashed the neck of a maid next to him, the maid's head flew up, blood sprayed everywhere, the two children screamed in fright, the viscountess held the two children blindfolded and comforted, but she herself was so frightened that she trembled and almost fainted.
"Please, don't hurt my family. ”
The maid's body fell to the ground, right on Viscount Benn's body, he woke up, and the first scene he saw when he opened his eyes was that his wife and children were all shaking under Simmons's butcher's knife, and he was so frightened that he crawled over desperately and begged for mercy, but Simmons kicked him away.
"Please, as long as I don't hurt my family, you can do whatever I want. ”
Viscount Benn knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Simmons, blood constantly flowing down his forehead.
"Now your family's life is not in my hands, but in his. ”
Simmons smiled fiercely, he pointed at Allen, and then slapped the countess on the neck with a blood-stained knife and said:
"As long as he is willing to surrender, I will spare your whole family and promise not to touch a single hair of your family. ”
"Brother Allen, for the sake of me helping you, please save my family. ”
Viscount Benn knew that Simmons would not give in, so he could only look at Allen for help, he walked a few steps to Allen, and begged bitterly, Allen wanted to help him up, but he refused to get up, so that Allen's thoughts on how to rescue the Viscountess were interrupted.
"Okay! I surrender!"
Surrendering at this time was definitely not a wise choice, but looking at the viscount's pitiful appearance, Alan couldn't help but soften his heart and agreed. Compare your heart to your heart, if the butcher knife is on your lover's neck at this time, how should you choose.
"It's not enough to just talk about it. ”
Simmons' expression was frenzied, but his mind wasn't messed up yet.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Take out all the magic gear you've got on you. ”
"Now it's okay!"
Alan could only follow Simmons' request, empty the magic materials and devices in his arms, and open the robe to show the other party.
"No, magicians can cast spells without magical equipment. ”
"Then I'll keep my mouth shut, right?"
"No, your magic is weird, I don't believe you. ”
Simmons had already speculated that Alan might have silently cast magic, as he hadn't heard how Eren had uttered magic spells in the previous rounds.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
Alan asked helplessly.
"Viscount Benn, if you still want your family to live, pick up this stick. ”
Simmons flew up and kicked a stick dropped by a valet to the Viscount.
"Good!"
Viscount Benn did not dare to disobey the slightest, and stooped down to pick up a stick on the edge of the bushes.
"Good. ”
Seeing that the Viscount obediently did what he asked him to do, Simmons was very happy:
"Hit the magician on the head with a stick. “
"No! I can't do that. ”
Hearing that he had asked himself to fight Allen, who was helping him, the viscount dropped the stick.
"If you don't obey, I'll cut off your lady's head with a knife. ”
Simmons struck the Viscountess twice on the neck with his knife, and immediately there were two more blood marks on the white neck.
"Please, save my family. ”
The viscount knelt down in front of Allen with a thud and said in tears.
"Don't cry. You are a man and your family needs your salvation. This matter has nothing to do with you, I implicated you, and now I should pay the price. Let's do it!"
Alan walked up to the viscount and used his levitation magic to force him up, then picked up the stick on the ground and handed it to him. He was always looking for an opportunity to save the Viscount's family, and if Simmons was a mid-level swordsman, he might still have a chance, but Simmons was a high-level swordsman, and he couldn't make a high-level swordsman lose the ability to act in an instant. Viscount Benn was a kind man, and even when he was coerced, he was not willing to hurt himself, the one who had caused him trouble. So Eren couldn't watch the Viscount lose his beloved family, even if it was at his own expense.
"This ....."
The viscount stared at the bloodstains on the stick, his eyes full of panic.
"Hurry up, my patience is limited. ”
Simmons couldn't help but be overjoyed to see Allen volunteering to die, but he became anxious again when he saw that the Viscount was still hesitant, lest Alan change his mind, if Alan really didn't mind the life or death of the Viscount's family, he probably had no other choice but to flee for his life.
Finally, after some struggle, Viscount Benn finally raised the stick in his hand, but the stick hung above Alan's head, and as his arm trembled violently, it could not fall for a long time.
"Let's do it. ”
As soon as Allen's eyes closed, and as soon as his words fell, Viscount Benn felt that the wooden stick in his hand sank, and it had smashed down uncontrollably.
"Bang!"
The wooden stick smashed on the top of Allen's head, and blood dripped down his hair and cheeks, and Allen shook twice, and his body fell to the ground with a limp.
