Chapter 127, The End of the Riots
readx; However, Gegil's combat power is already much stronger than them at this time, and he may be merciful when facing Ecilia, but not Francis. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of Francis's "weak" sword, Gegil blocked Ecilia's attack, and then turned around and slashed at Francis in a straight line.
He had never studied swordsmanship or martial arts, but he relied on his super high physical fitness, bringing strength and speed far beyond ordinary people, and the blows he swung with his hand were extremely powerful.
The bright light of the sword made Francis's face pale, and he didn't have time to continue stabbing the sword, because if he didn't stab Gergil in that way, he would be killed by him directly.
He could only block Gegil's slash with a horizontal parry of his long sword, and the whole person was immediately slashed backwards by the huge force carried by the short knife.
With a thud, Francis rolled twice on the floor and fell straight from the room to the outside of the hallway.
"Francis," Excilia exclaimed, trying to get past the bed.
But Gergil jumped straight out of bed, got in front of Esilia, and smirked at her.
"See, Ecilia, how vulnerable he is in front of me, such a weak fellow is not qualified to protect your safety at all."
However, Eicilia didn't pay close attention to what Gegil was saying, and her anxious gaze looked directly over Gegill to the hallway.
Fortunately, although Francis was very embarrassed, he was not injured and quickly got up from the ground again.
It's just that a frightened expression has begun to appear on his face, if he had reacted a little slower just now, he would definitely not be able to dodge Gergil's attack, and the approach of death made Francis, who had never experienced a real battle, frightened, and even the hand holding the long sword began to tremble.
"Don't come in, go find Captain Blue," Ecilia shouted anxiously at him.
Francis's body shuddered, his eyes sparkling with indecisiveness, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Ecilia and Gegil, and then finally made up his mind, and slammed around and rushed out of the hallway.
"Aicilia, you wait, I'll go to Blue and save you."
Hearing Francis's shouts from far away from the end of the hallway, Gergil sneered disdainfully, his eyes and expression extremely contemptuous.
"Look, that's what this man really is." Gegill looked back at Esilia, "You're disappointed that you were so cowardly and scared that they left you to run away alone?" Is there anything else to expect from him now? ”
"You madman"
Ecilia glared at Gergil, she didn't have any expectations of Francis from beginning to end, so although Francis's performance was very unmanly, Ecilia, who already knew his personality well, was naturally not disappointed.
However, compared to Francis's greedy personality and fear of death, Ecilia hated Gergil as a madman even more.
"Why?"
Gegil raised his eyebrows, he finally felt a trace of annoyance at Ecilia's scolding in his heart, and couldn't help but roar: "I'm already so strong, no one is my opponent, don't you still believe me?" If you still have any grievances, you can tell me. ”
Acelia was so frightened that she took a step back, but immediately shouted back stubbornly: "Madman, what are you trying to do with me, villain?" ”
"What is the attempt? What else can I try? You are mine, your whole being is mine, you are my hope, all I have, follow me," Ggil roared hoarsely, his eyes red as if they were beasts.
"Wishful thinking"
Ecilia was so angry that she didn't expect that the poor boy she had saved in the Gray Mountains that day would turn out to be such a complete madman, and she stabbed her sword in the chest with her sword raised.
Gegil slammed the dagger upward, the blade striking the sword, and the merciless force directly picked Ecilia's long sword away, while reaching out his other hand and grabbing Aicilia at it.
Ecilia's face changed and she wanted to retreat, but she was now standing in the corner of the room, with walls on the sides and behind her, and there was no way back.
At this moment, a figure appeared by the door of the room leading to the balcony outside, caught by the corner of Gergil's eyes, and he subconsciously turned his head to look over, and the pupils in his eyes shrank to the size of a pinpoint in an instant.
I saw that the woman who had seriously injured him not long ago was standing on the balcony outside the room, her black cloak fluttering in the wind, the longbow full of hideous sharp horns had been drawn to the full moon state, and an arrow was placed on it, and the sharp gaze like a knife and the sharp arrow were already aimed at his heart.
The moment he saw Susan, Gergil's brain went with a deafening alarm sound, and he could even feel the illusion that his heart was about to stop beating just by being watched.
Danger: This woman is dangerous
Even if Gegil now has a very amazing ability to heal himself, if he is shot through the heart by an arrow, he still can't avoid death.
Gegil jerked backwards, and as he moved, Susan released the finger that had been hooked on the bowstring, and the arrow immediately made a sharp and piercing sound that instantly crossed the entire distance from the balcony to the corner of the room.
In such a short distance, Susan's arrow was almost impossible to dodge, and before Gegil could take half a step back, the bow and arrow had already struck him in the body with an astonishing sound, knocking him backwards into the wall.
However, because of Gergil's timely dodge, the arrow did not hit him in the heart, but only through the shoulder.
Gegil let out a roar of pain, ignoring the bow and arrow on his shoulder, and threw himself at Susan, who was standing on the balcony.
In the face of Gegil, who pounced like a beast, Susan did not panic at all, and with a calm and fast movement, she once again took out a bow and arrow from the quiver behind her back and opened the bow and put it on, her eyes instantly locked on Gegil's forehead, and she let go of her fingers and shot the bow and arrow with a bang.
Gergil, who was rapidly approaching Susan, was already wary of her attack, his eyes widening and he lowered his body sharply, letting the bow and arrow pass through his hair, cutting a bloody wound in his scalp.
After Susan fired the second arrow, Gegil had already rushed in front of Susan, the blade in his hand stabbing at her.
The two had already fought in close quarters before, and Susan had the upper hand in this regard, but before coming here, Erwin had already warned her that Gegil's strength was growing very fast, and she had to be careful in her next encounter.
Judging from the two arrows shot just now, Susan can also judge that Gegil's strength and speed, as well as his reaction ability, have far exceeded the original.
Therefore, when Gegil rushed up, Susan had no intention of fighting him in close combat, but instead turned around and ran directly to the other side of the balcony.
Susan's action stunned Gegil for a moment, and he didn't think too much about it, and immediately chased after him.
The balcony on the second floor of the hotel was a door-shaped balcony that connected the three walls of the hotel, and after Gergil chased it out, he saw that Susan's figure had turned the corner.
Susan turned two corners along the balcony corridor to the rear, and she had just left to familiarize herself with the nearby terrain, so she jumped out of the balcony without hesitation.
Below the balcony was the long street on the side of the hotel, but there was another row of houses on the opposite side, and Susan jumped directly over the long street and landed on the eaves of the house opposite
She ran two steps up the eaves, jumped again, and jumped back to the second floor of the hotel, which was the equivalent of spinning the entire hotel around the outside, and then crashing into it through a closed window.
Gegil, who had caught up from the balcony, happened to see this scene and immediately understood that he had been tricked, and slammed his fist on the long bar on the balcony, then turned around and ran back.
But it was too late for him to act, and the window that Susan had slammed into happened to be in Ecilia's room.
Ecilia was still standing in the room in a daze, she saw Susan lead Gergill out of the balcony, and before she could react, she found that Susan had broken in through the window on the other side of the room, and she was confused, and she didn't understand how she did it.
Susan didn't have the leisure to talk nonsense with Ecilia at this time, ran directly to her side, pulled her out of the room and out of the hallway, rushed through the hallway in an instant, and then jumped straight down the hall of the hotel.
Ecilia immediately let out an exclamation, but the height from the corridor on the second floor to the hall was not high, and Susan deliberately chose to jump on the table in the hall, and the two of them fell on the table in great embarrassment, but there was no damage.
At this time, Gegil had just rushed out of the room and into the hallway, only to see Susan rushing out of the hotel with Ecilia in tow.
His face was like frost, and he jumped straight down from the second floor, and then chased after the two of them.
"He caught up"
Esilia was dragged down the street by Susan and ran down the street faster than she had ever done, and she glanced behind her in a hurry, and immediately saw that Ggill was in hot pursuit, much faster than the two of them.
"I know."
Susan said without looking back, and then pulled Ecilia from the corner of the long street into a laneway.
Before Gergil could catch up, a low wall appeared in front of her, and Susan immediately let go of Ecilia's hand and whispered to her, "Climb from the wall to the roof, quick"
Ecilia didn't ask why, she stretched out her hands and pushed the wall, and the whole person had already climbed the wall with her strength.
However, what discouraged her was that Susan didn't need to borrow force at all, she just used the momentum and inertia of running, jumped directly on the ground and jumped onto the wall, and then a pair of slender and powerful legs stepped the wall, and the whole person jumped on the roof instead.
By this time, Ecilia had just climbed the wall.
When Susan went up to the roof, she turned and stretched out her hand to pull up the stunned Ecilia on the wall.
Ecilia went up to the roof with Susan's help, but before she could say anything, she was directly hugged by Susan.
"Huh?"
Ecilia was stunned on the spot, her mind almost went blank, she didn't understand why Susan didn't run away in such an emergency, but did such a thing.
However, Susan didn't have the time to think about how Ecilia would react, she took Ecilia in her arms, covered them both with the shadow cloak on her body, and quickly recited the Shadow Spell activation: "aan (Shadow)"
Half of the mana reserves on the Shadow Cloak were immediately consumed, and the Shadow Technique was activated, directly eliminating the figures of the two people completely.
Just as the two disappeared, Gergil followed the corner of the long street, following the footprints they had left in the snow to the wall.
Seeing that Gegil was about to climb the wall, Susan hurriedly whispered to Ecilia in her arms: "Hold your breath, don't make a sound, we only have one minute." ”
It was only then that Ecilia understood why Susan had hugged her, and instead of answering, she nodded softly to indicate that she had heard.
Gegill judged from the footprints that had disappeared by the wall that the two girls should have climbed to the roof through the wall, and he immediately followed suit.
The dark clouds in the sky had cleared, and the bright moonlight was spilling down from the sky, and standing on the rooftop, almost the entire Sand Shield City could be taken into view.
Gegil's face immediately turned ugly, for Susan and Esilia's footprints had disappeared from the roof.
He looked around, among the undulating buildings, with cobweb-like lanes and long streets, and it was impossible to tell which way the two had fled.
"How did you escape so fast?"
Gergil gritted his teeth, and he had a feeling of utter irritation that he had been fooled.
After standing on the roof for a while, Gegill chose a direction according to his instincts, jumped off the roof and chased after him.
After a minute had passed, the effects of the shadow spell had vanished, and Susan and Ecilia were still standing on the roof.
Ecilia stroked the black cloak on Susan's body in amazement, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this magic equipment?" ”
Before she returned to Lorenzo, she was a graduate student of the Titan Holy See Knight Academy, and passed the exam of a trainee knight, and her own background also determined that her vision was broad, so she naturally recognized that the cloak on Susan's body was definitely magical equipment, otherwise Gegil would not have been able to find them when she was standing close at hand.
It's just that I don't know which spell is blessed on the cloak, although Esilia is not a spellcaster, but she also knows several spells that can be invisible.
"Yes, it's the Cloak of Shadows, a piece of magical equipment."
Susan said lightly, and then found that Ecilia was still in her arms, so she stretched out her hand and took the eldest lady off, "Okay, we can get rid of Gegil for the time being, but if he finds it, it won't be so easy to avoid next time." ”
"And where are we going to hide?" Ecilia couldn't help but ask, she was about the same age as Susan, but in every way, Susan was much more mature than her, and looked like her sister.
This makes Ecilia feel an inexplicable closeness to Susan, as if she is following her own sister.
Susan pondered for a while, Gegill appeared much earlier than Erwin expected, and his strength had changed too much.
Originally, Susan deliberately went to the hotel where the convoy lived, just to wait here for Gegill to come to the door, and then take action to keep him, but now it seems that it is okay to block from a distance, but in hand-to-hand combat, Susan is very likely not to be Gegill's opponent.
Not to mention keeping him behind, it became difficult to keep Ecilia safe.
"Erwin, did you finally miscalculate this guy again?"
Susan muttered to herself, then sighed before she said to Ecilia, "We'll go back to the hotel, Gergil probably won't think we'll go back anytime soon." ”
Ecilia immediately nodded obediently, and then took advantage of Susan's inattention, quietly touched her chest, compared the scale of the two sides, and suddenly felt extremely deflated: "This is too small."
The two of them returned to the hotel, and they were too busy to run away just now, only to find that the bodies of the two unlucky servants killed by Gergil were being thrown in the corner of the hall, and the innkeeper, who did not know where to run, had escaped.
There were still many wounded servants on the first floor of the hotel, and Ecilia ran over to check them one by one, and was relieved to see that they were all okay.
At this time, the riots in Sand Shield City have also subsided a lot, after all, there are not many people in black who wantonly kill people everywhere, and there are not only residents in Sand Shield City, but also many caravans and mercenaries, among which there are many people with outstanding strength, and several people in black have been beaten to death by the mercenaries who are shopping.
And the rest of the men in black were almost all dealt with by Erwin alone.
He continued to turn on the iron swordsmanship that can increase his speed, and then rushed to all the places where there was a riot, as long as he encountered those men in black who wantonly slaughtered civilians, he directly rushed over to solve the other party with a sword, and then quickly changed places, and at the same time, some of the villains who took advantage of the chaos were also among his targets, but for these people, Erwin did not kill them directly, but used broken hands and feet as punishment.
The Man in Black was eliminated by Elwin, and the hundred disguised soldiers began to play a role, calming the rioting crowd while working with the spies of the Man in the Mirror to dispose of the shocking corpses on the streets.
By the time Erwin had killed the last man in black, the turmoil in the city that had lasted for a full quarter had almost come to an end.
