Chapter 160: The Earl's Final Battle

Two warriors rushed up and pulled Lumière and Selinda into the grass together.

As soon as they took cover, they saw two groups of men and horses flying down from them, these warriors were wearing light armor, walking through the forest with agility, and weapons such as crossbows and arrows in their hands, and they looked like they should be members of the Shadow Troupe of the Nature Temple. On the opposite hillside, there were also people outflanking and surrounding them downward. And on the path leading to the small village, a cavalry team of three or four hundred people also appeared, rushing towards the village, blocking the road out of the village.

The people of the village had already noticed what was going on, and the scarred soldiers were taking up arms, ready for the next and perhaps the last battle. Some of them had broken hands, some were lame, some were burned beyond recognition by magic, but they still formed a battle formation.

"How can this be beaten, these people are even having a hard time standing here. Selinda said urgently.

"So it's useless for you to go down. Lumière's hand was still clasped on Selinda's wrist, "It's my limit to be able to let you come here and see the final ending." I don't want to give you any regrets, but please protect yourself, or your father will not forgive me. ”

Selinda struggled for a moment and scolded, "Damn!"

But no matter what she did, Lumière just wouldn't let go.

At this time, Selinda saw the door of a room in the village be opened, and a middle-aged man in armor came out, he looked badly injured and walking slowly, he had a bandage on his head, his right arm was broken, and even his foot was lame. When he looked up, Selinda finally saw that it was her father, Count Carlos.

Selinda had imagined the Earl's current state when she came all the way, and she had imagined the worst-case scenario, he had already died on the battlefield, but now seeing that he was so badly wounded, but he was unwilling to retreat, and when he dragged his seriously wounded body to fight the enemy, she didn't know why she no longer had the strength to struggle.

"Why is he doing this?" Selinda choked up, but Lumière and the others around her were silent, and her questions were not answered.

The Count refused the help of Master Banderas, limped to the front of his warriors, thrust his sword to the ground, and watched the enemy at the entrance of the village.

Two men in the caravan at the door jumped off their horses and walked to the front, one in the form of a priest and the other a knight in temple armor.

The middle-aged priest looked at Count Carlos from a distance of more than a hundred meters, and after a moment, he spoke: "Nature is on top. Your Excellency, is this the place you have found for yourself to bury your bones?"

The earl coughed twice, and actually showed a smile: "Felix Priestess, is it finally your turn to make a move?"

"Count Carlos, if you say who is the best actor in the kingdom, I think it has to be you, for so many years, everyone thinks that you are a useless gentleman, a waste who only knows how to chase women. But who would have thought that you were a real master who was hidden? Even our temple didn't find any clues about your strength, I didn't expect you to be so strong, you actually beheaded our two great knights, a master assassin, but now you are also a waste, are you still ready to struggle?"

Count Carlos smiled and said, "You're still talking nonsense with me, which means that your self-confidence is not enough, I thought you would attack without saying a word." ”

Ignoring the Count's taunts, Felix said, "This is your last chance, surrender, allegiance to the Temple, and all your berserkers to the Temple." ”

"I remember answering that question, you guys just don't have a long memory. Do you want me to show you my answer again?" Count Carlos looked up to the sky, grunted hard in his throat, and then shook his head and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Looking at the gloomy face of Priest Felix on the other side, he laughed: "I have endured in front of that old immortal king for so many years, pretending to be a dog that I don't even look down on myself every day, will I go back at this time? Some people eat on their stomachs because they are cheap, but some people want to be able to stand up and cut off each other's heads one day." Now that I'm on my feet, how can I lie down again?

Under the name of Arias, there may be bastards, maybe there are madmen, but there are no cowards. ”

Felix looked at him coldly and said, "Since you have made such a choice, then prepare to die." I thought you would run away alone, but I didn't expect you to wait here for the end of everything. ”

Count Carlos looked back at his team, "The rest of the people here are my old brothers, they have been my right-hand men for so many years, and I feel the luckiest thing in my life to be able to fight a few more enemies with them at the last moment, how could I leave the field alone?"

"You can't walk if you want to, this valley is already covered by the spatial interference under my hands. Neither you nor Banderas have a chance to leave today. Felix raised his hand, ready to signal for an attack.

Count Carlos, on the other side, was unmoved, and said with some emotion: "This village is a good place, and it is indeed a good place for me to bury my bones. Don't you notice that we've been circling around the mountains these days, and we're getting closer and closer to my territory?

I read about this place in the books ten years ago, and when I came here again, I had already thought about it. I'm engaged in something that will lose my head at any time, so I naturally have to think about my own future. At the time, Uncle Banderas called me a madman, but today it seems that my preparation was worth it.

If you can't take the stage with unlimited scenery, then leave the stage with a bang. ”

Felix was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition came out of his heart: "You, what are you going to do?"

He hurriedly asked the two priests behind him to stop the space to interfere with the magic, and began to prepare for the teleportation of the magic himself.

But it's too late, and space distractions will always last for some time.

Count Carlos did not give him an answer, but nodded to Master Banderas.

Master Banderas closed his eyes and poured his spiritual power into a orb in his hands.

Sensing the fluctuations of the magic weapon, the ground of the valley lit up with red light, including the entire village, as well as the location of Felix and those cavalry.

Selinda looked down from the mountain and found that it was a very large circle buried underground, and this circle was moving extremely fast, and it was soon completely lit up.

Then a raging burst of fire erupted upwards from the ground.

In the raging flames, the Count glanced up in Selinda's direction, then smiled and said to the panicked Felix, "I forgot to tell you that there used to be a volcano down here......"
