Chapter 163: Unable to Resist
Baron Deniz had slew one soldier again, but he was too exhausted to deal with the other soldiers. The old baron put his sword on the ground, the gravity of his body pressed on the sword, and gasped for breath, but Yang didn't even want to give him this respite, seeing that Baron Deniz's skills were not something that the soldiers could deal with, he personally went into battle and stabbed Baron Deniz with his sword.
Out of the corner of the old baron's eyes, he saw Yang coming towards him, he gritted his teeth, squeezed what little strength he had left, held the sword in both hands, and backhanded it up, barely blocking Yang's sword. However, Yang's other hand hadn't moved yet, and Baron Deniz, who was physically exhausted, could no longer control his sword moves finely, and the blow just now was too big to retract his sword, so he could only watch Yang's other sword wipe towards his neck.
This may be the end of the road. Baron Deniz thought to himself, and the old baron, who had already expected this scene, simply closed his eyes and waited to meet his death.
However, presumably because even the lord felt that Baron Deniz was too young to take him in, one hand grabbed the blade of the sword just as Young's sword was about to slash into Baron Deniz's neck.
"Mr. Darees, this is my retainer. ”
Swain grabbed the sword in Yang's hand, although the sharp blade cut through Swain's palm, but he didn't seem to feel any pain, and firmly grasped the blade, preventing Yang from cutting Baron Deniz's throat.
Seeing Sven, Yang's face immediately showed a look of disgust, but he also understood that he didn't have the ability to deal with Sven now, even if there were nearly a hundred soldiers around him, but such a few people were not enough for Sven's crows to eat.
Yang immediately abandoned his sword and leaped backwards, distancing himself from Sven.
"You came very quickly, if you were any later, your retainers, your princess, would have been killed by me. Young retreated as he motioned for the soldiers to control the fainting Artmis. Although Yang is reluctant to let his mission be flawed, he also knows when to make concessions, and it is definitely very unwise to fight Swain here, and if Manfred can't catch up, even if Yang hates Swain again, he understands that he is not Swain's opponent.
Swain held Baron Deniz, and when he saw the lord arrive, the relieved old baron collapsed, he had been fighting with one breath just now, and now that he was relieved, he couldn't hold on any longer, and he seemed to faint at any time.
"You can't do it. Swain didn't care about Yang's provocation as always, "It's almost the same for Manfred, but his smell can be smelled five kilometers away, does he really dare to come and face me?"
"Five kilometers away?" Yang smiled, "No kidding, I know how poor your perception of magic is." ”
"Maybe it's a little bit worse. Sven lowered his eyes and looked at the soldier who was raising Artemis to retreat, "But you don't think that these little actions can hide from me, do you?"
Sven raised his hand, and in the direction he pointed, the crow swarm that appeared out of thin air immediately swooped out, although the soldiers led by Yang were not afraid of death, but in front of these crows, they still did not see enough.
Young also expected that Swain would not let him take Artemis so easily, so he didn't expect that from the beginning. Seeing that Swain had sent a flock of crows, Yang immediately moved in the other direction, and it seemed that he was planning to abandon his soldiers and run away alone.
"I heard that you made a special request for marriage to Earl Hecate before, do you really like Artmis?" said Young, who did not forget to sneer at Swain as he ran.
Ignoring Yang's taunts, Swain commanded a flock of crows to eat away at the soldiers. At this time, Sven did not have the extra sword energy to deal with Yang, and the injuries left by Caradogh had not fully recovered, so to speak, now Sven was in a relatively weak state, although it was not impossible to catch Yang, but he was not willing to use up all the magic power he had just recovered, after all, after experiencing Caradog's assassination, Sven was still a lot more cautious now.
Yang saw that Sven ignored him at all, and at the same time he was a little happy in his heart, at least Sven's attention was not on him at the moment, if he wanted to retreat, this was the best time.
Swain, of course, noticed that Yang had taken the opportunity to escape, but he had no intention of stopping it. At this time, Baron Deniz and Artemis were out of strength, if it wasn't for his timely feeling of Karin Castle, probably Princess Celestia and Sophia would really have something wrong, in order to avoid the other party and other troops hiding, Swain did not plan to pursue for the time being.
The crows quickly ate all the soldiers, just in case, Swain didn't even leave the corpses, maybe these corpses would be of great use to Sinjid, but for Swain, Sinjid was just a pawn in his own hands, and there was no need to care so much about his feelings.
"Can you stand up?" Swain glanced at Baron Deniz expressionlessly, at this time the old baron was already scarred, except for the first time when Yang stabbed him in the abdomen, in the battle just now, Baron Deniz suffered a lot of injuries, for an old man, such a scar is almost like killing him, he does not have the vitality of a young man to heal this injury.
"Anyway, it's okay. Baron Deniz did his best to hold on to his sword and not let himself fall, "Her Royal Highness Caterina, and Mademoiselle, are all right. ”
"yes, I see. Sven said lightly, he put away his demon, there was no movement for a while, and the people in the castle should have noticed it.
After a while, the remaining guards in the castle cautiously observed the situation from the windows on the castle, and when they saw their lord appear, they also knew that this time the crisis had been resolved, and hurriedly ran out to meet Swain, and helped the seriously injured Baron Deniz and the fainted Artemis back to the castle.
Swain walked into the castle with him, and as soon as he entered the antechamber, Sophia pounced.
"Brother, sir!" Sophia hugged her brother tightly, as if she was afraid of being snatched away by someone, "I knew you would be back." ”
Swain patted Sophia's head lightly, soothing her. "Are you scared?"
"Not at all. Sophia shook her head and smiled, "I've always had a lot of faith in my brother. ”
As she spoke, she looked out the door. "How many people did you bring over, doesn't it matter what the front line is?"
Swain knew that Sophia thought that he had brought troops to relieve the siege, and he did not answer Sophia's question, at this point, the well-behaved Sophia has always been very considerate of her brother, as long as Swain didn't want to say more, she wouldn't ask more.
"Your Highness. Swain greeted Caterina as she walked downstairs, "I hope you weren't frightened. ”
"I'm fine, you're worried. Caterina waved her hand to indicate that she was okay, but her face didn't look as healthy as she said, "How's going on at the front?"
"It's still the same as before, maybe the other side is very confident in this attack, so the front line is almost determined to contain our side, although the attack is fierce, but it is not enough to conquer our army's position. ”
"That's good. Caterina breathed a sigh of relief, when Karin's castle was attacked, she really wondered if there was a problem at the front, "However, it doesn't seem safe here now, do you think we should move?"
"Where do you want to go?" Swain asked rhetorically, "Maybe Karin Castle is within range of the other side now, but is it safer to go anywhere else?"
Caterina was stunned for a moment, although it was not unreasonable for Swain to say this, she always felt that Sven was deliberately trying to keep her here.
Caterina thought to herself, if the location of Karin Castle is really important, it is not necessarily, this is a suburb, west is Yanwan Province, but after all, across the hills and mountains, the main road leading to Yanwan to Deweide is not here, so the location of Karin Castle is not very important, at least strategically speaking, this castle has no value.
Didn't he want me to come into contact with the military? Even though Katerina and Swain are now a faction, this kind of co-working together still makes Katerina a little suspicious of Swain, she used to trust Swain very much, but Swain never reciprocated the trust of others.
"Your Highness, if you are still not at ease, let me personally bring a force to garrison here, at least, I will ensure your safety. While Caterina was pondering, Swain spoke again, "There is Baron O'Brien in command at the front, so there is no need to worry at all, but the other actions of the other party are worthy of our attention." At present, the battle on the front line is anxious, although the other side cannot capture our position, but our troops are also pinned down on the position, if the enemy wants to make some small moves, they have no way to free up their hands to deal with it for the time being. ”
Caterina nodded, no matter what Swain let him stay here for, he was not wrong in what he said, Baron O'Brien's strength was limited after all, and blocking the attack of 50,000 men with 20,000 men was already a great achievement, and he couldn't be expected to do more. In this battle, the key is never the victory or defeat on the battlefield, but the final ownership of the crown.
glanced at Swain's arm, the arm that used to hold himself and hold himself, but now he was hugged tightly by Sophia, as if she was afraid that she would be snatched away by others, Sophia almost didn't leave Swain. Caterina felt a little uncomfortable, she always felt that Sophia was demonstrating to herself by doing this. She was tempted to scoff at it, but Caterina found that she couldn't do it, because she really cared about Sophia's little gesture.
"The safety of the castle, then, is up to you, Your Excellency. Princess Celestia looked at the Jericho siblings with a complicated expression, she smiled reluctantly, and then walked up the stairs again.
After the eldest princess went upstairs, Swain also planned to rest, Karadoge was worthy of being chosen by the Lord and Satan at the same time, he almost completely suppressed Swain's magic, until this point, Sven has not fully recovered.
But, as much as Swain wanted to rest, Sophia held his arm tightly and made it difficult for him to move.
"Loosen it up a bit. Swain looked at Sophia hugging her tightly and couldn't help but sigh, "Hug it so tightly, no matter how little I am, I can feel it." ”
Sophia was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she understood what her brother meant.
"Brother, brother, you ......" Sophia blushed suddenly, "It's too much." ”
Even the most intelligent and wise people can't deal with women. So Swain was also in trouble at this time, he could guess a little bit of Sophia's thoughts, but knowing it was one thing, and what to do was another thing.
"Ugh," Sven sighed, "I'm going to rest, do you still want to hold it like that?"
"Does my brother want to rest?" Sophia looked at her brother carefully, "Well, in that case, I'll rest for a while......"
