Chapter 151: Killing Under the Cabin
Holding the hapless Cameron hostage, Hiko walked straight to the cabin below deck. He was cautious and careful. For he was not sure if the people in the cabin had heard the movement on the deck.
If there is none, then it is best, because he can hit them by surprise. But if there is, then there is a problem. Because they are likely to set up an ambush for themselves and surprise themselves unexpectedly. I'm sure no one likes to have any surprises at this time, and neither does Hiko. So he took Cameron with him and used him as a means of preparing for the unexpected.
Although it is said that Arest is in the wilderness, Hiko has also heard about the situation of the empire. He knew the dirt between the Duke of the Two Blades and the imperial family, so he also knew very well how much strength and heritage the people of the Black Thorn Family had.
Since this group of people has spread the struggle between themselves and the royal family to the sea, it is certainly impossible for them to send two or three kittens and puppies to complete this task. And this means that he has a good chance of meeting a master here.
For this special existence, Hiko has his own expectations. For him, he would love to meet a guy who is evenly matched and can make him happy. Because he needs to test his progress and test his cultivation.
In this matter, his father and the dome may have a role to play. But they are not the best option. The former is too far apart, while the latter is too familiar.
In the face of such an opponent, it is impossible to burst out of one's greatest strength no matter what. He needed something else to challenge, and he put that hope here. The people of the Black Thorn family should not let themselves down.
With this in mind, he pushed open the door of the cabin and dragged Cameron directly into the cabin. And just as he stepped in, there was a fierce wind howling towards him.
It was the movement of a heavily armed, heavily armored knight smashing his head with a multi-edged warhammer. It was clear from his movements that he was going to be stoned to death under his own hammer along with Hiko and Cameren. Cameren's rebellion is no secret to these people, so they are ruthless and can do it. Leave no room for perfection.
And in the face of such a situation, Yan naturally couldn't be as merciful to his subordinates as he had been with those sailors before. So he struck like lightning, and in an instant he swept the long sword in his hand in the direction where the knight's hammer was swinging.
The peculiarly shaped longsword made a whistling sound that irritated the eardrums for a moment, and then, like a scorching knife cutting through a piece of butter, slashed directly into the multi-edged hammer in the knight's hand. Obviously, according to common sense, the blade of the sword cannot resist a blunt weapon like a heavy hammer. But he not only resisted, but sliced the hammer through the middle with great force, and slashed the knight's head, wrapped in a heavy helmet.
Not even a solid hammer of fine iron could withstand such a sharp sword, so how could a mere mixture of steel and flesh be indestructible?
Such a blow can be said to be an earth-shattering shock, or it can be said to be a complete declaration of war against the black thorn forces under the ship's cabin. When the knight died directly under Hiko's sword without even letting out a scream, the other knights who were hiding on the side could no longer hold it back, and they rushed directly at Hiko.
The first to attack Hikoko was the guy in a small room beside him. He seems to have a good relationship with the knight who was split in half by Hiko before. Because at this time, he was completely roaring "pay for his life", and at the same time swept the heavy sword in his hand towards Hiko.
There was not much in the cabin, so he could only use his heavy sword completely. And when he completely unfolded his heavy sword, it meant that Hiko had no room to dodge at all.
At this time, he only had two choices, one was to fight hard with this guy who was full of anger. The second is to pull Cameren, who has shrunk to the ground, up as a shield.
Intellectually, the latter may be the better option. After all, by this time, Cameron was no longer useful. Instead of being distracted from taking care of his little life, it is better to use him here directly from waste. But Hiko wasn't going to do that. Because it was against his intentions. He wants a good fight, not a calculated competition. So he grinned, and directly turned the long sword in his hand towards the knight opposite.
The sword in Hiko's hand was only for the Nords. For ordinary people in this world, this is already the specification of having a big sword. So in the eyes of the angry knight, there might be an evenly matched contest between him and Hiko. Of course, because he is the first striker, he is likely to have the upper hand in this contest. And as long as he has the upper hand, then he will completely take advantage of this advantage and punch him in the head with his free left hand.
This punch is not comparable to the back-and-forth fists of a tavern brawl. Because this knight wears a special fist armor on his hand. The thick metal wrapped around the back of his hand, making it look like his hand was a full circle larger than the other. And the edges and corners that extend along the knuckles make this fist armor look unusually aggressive.
There is no doubt that being hit by such a punch in the body will definitely be fatal. Even the hardest skull in a human body may not be able to withstand such an attack. The knight was very confident in this, because he had already blown the heads of no less than ten people with this fist. In his opinion, Hikokai will be next. But that's just his personal thoughts. Whether Hiko will be next is not up to him. It's Hiko himself who can really decide this issue.
And for Hiko, this is simply a wishful thinking. From the very beginning, he did not intend to do what this knight had envisioned. Because he didn't think he would lose the competition, but also because he had the stunt of cutting steel in his hands.
With steel chopping in hand, this kind of head-on confrontation with defeat is simply impossible. Because cutting steel itself is the mystery of swordsmanship to win by force.
A shrill whistling sounded. In an instant, the sword in Hiko's hand sliced through everything that stood in his way like lightning. The heavy sword, as well as the knight's entire body, had already been cut in half by him.
Blood was spilled all over the cabin, and within a minute of Hiko's entry into the cabin, two people had already died at his hands. This fact is shocking, and it is also intimidating. I thought I was besieging a sheep, but it turned out that it was a tiger and a lion that were besieging, what kind of experience was this. These out-of-the-box knights already have a deep experience.
At this time, even the most stupid person knows what a miserable end it will be to go up boldly. Everyone is a companion who knows the roots, and they can't understand the difference in each other's strength. In all fairness, they're not necessarily better than the two guys who just died. Therefore, it must be an unpleasant result for them to go up.
To go up is to send them to death, who would want to?And just as they hesitated because of this, Hiko had already curled the corners of his mouth, and then rushed straight towards the nearest knight.
In such an unequal battle, he did not give the enemy time to come to an agreement and then besiege him. Splitting up was the most appropriate option, and he had no reason to abandon it. So he immediately set a goal for himself and put it into practice.
It was a knight with a thick iris shield and a one-handed sword. When he killed the second knight, he had already put up his shield, hid behind it, and raised the long sword in his hand to stand on the shield, facing Hiko with a stern posture.
It can be seen that this is a guy who is good at defending and counterattacking, and he is very cautious psychologically. He was afraid that he had already anticipated Hiko's plan and would make such a response so early. It can be said that he is very smart. But this cleverness doesn't change anything. Because he lacks the strength to change everything.
Chopping steel, this is the existence that he can't change. He thought he would be able to block Hiko's attacks with his hard shield and gain a chance for his companions. But what he didn't expect was that it was just what he thought. For Hiko, now that he has cut off the war hammer and cut the heavy sword. Then if you add a shield, it's not really a big deal.
Chopping steel, just like that, once again pierced the enemy's delusions. After the shrill sound, there was only one more corpse on the ground.
This is the third, and there are three more enemies in front of him. The situation seems to have tilted in favor of Hiko. But at the same time, Hiko's actions also completely broke the luck in these people's hearts and made them completely wake up.
"We can't give him another chance to break us down one by one. We must join forces or we will all die here!"
This is a long-overdue idea. However, because Hiko's movements are too fast. It wasn't until they lost half of their companions that they thought about it. In Hiko's opinion, it was a little late for them to think of this now. But he wasn't going to remind them. Rather, the arrow stepped closer.
Anyway, it's all going to be beaten, what are you doing so much verbosity. Instead of giving them time to form a tacit cooperation, it is better to solve them directly while they are unsettled.
Hiko's thoughts were decisive and direct, and as a result, soon, there were three more fresh corpses under his sword.
It seems that the enemies have all been wiped out, because no one is in front of Hiko anymore at this time. Of course, this is just a superficial judgment on the surface, and whether there is someone in ambush in the dark, Hiko can't be sure at all. Just because he's not sure doesn't mean he doesn't have another way to know this. Because at this time, he had already turned his head to Cameron who wanted to escape from here.
"This is what you call the Black Thorn guy? And their abilities. Can this skill really protect the glory of the Duke of the Two Blades?"
