"We've got the news that there's an assassin from Black Harbor who is hiding in your house, so if you know her, hand her over quickly!" the captain looked up, looking proud. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"We don't have any assassins in our house!" shouted Herschel, the farmer, in exasperation.
"Oh, you mean, I framed you?" said the captain with a sneer.
"Who knows where you heard the rumors!" Hershel glared at the captain, while his wife, Laura, was terrified.
"It seems that if you don't teach a dead peasant like you a lesson, you won't be able to learn well. The captain said with a hideous face, he waved his hand, and several soldiers stepped forward with their swords, and they savagely grabbed Herschel's youngest son Ronnie from Lola's arms, Ronnie cried, and Lola shouted to take Ronnie back, but was kicked to the ground by the soldiers.
"Mom!" Ronnie cried, and Hershel gritted his teeth and looked at Ronnie with a heavy face.
"Someone is in the barn! we don't know if they're assassins or not!, but we let the strangers live in the barn!" Lola screamed, and Herschel glanced at Lola hurriedly, and Herschel's expression became truly panicked.
"Stupid woman!" Herschel scolded, and Lola looked at Herschel in horror, completely overwhelmed.
"So, did you really take in the Assassins? The captain said with a sneer, and the soldiers around him laughed as well.
"Stupid woman, if you don't speak, they won't dare lynch them!" Hershel yelled at Laura, who was completely stunned.
"A small farmer, but he knows the laws of Wuling Fort very well, but unfortunately you have already committed a crime, and this is a punishment, not a lynching. The captain sneered, and then he nodded at the soldier who was pulling Ronnie.
"No!" Hershel screamed.
I saw that the soldier raised his long sword, and with one sword pierced Ronnie's small body, Ronnie knelt on the ground, crying, and seemed to be shouting for his mother, but he couldn't make a sound at all, and when the soldier pulled out his long sword, Ronnie also fell in a pool of blood.
"Ronnie!" Laura screamed, and Sissi was on the verge of collapsing on the ground with her legs limp, but thankfully Zach held her up, and both Zack and Herschel looked at the captain with angry faces, and the captain was still smiling.
Christine, who was hiding in the grass, saw this situation, she felt extremely self-reproachful, she wanted to rush out of the grass, but was pulled by Bagio and Anna, the other party was too numerous, Bagio and the others were not completely sure that they could rescue the Herschel family.
"Report to the captain! there's no one in the barn!" a few soldiers who had just gone to search the barn returned to the captain's side and reported the truth, which made the captain frown.
The captain looked at the Herschels again, he swept the faces of the Herschels one by one, Herschel gritted his teeth at him, Lola rolled on the ground and wept bitterly, Sissi wept and looked at Ronnie's corpse on the ground, and Zach also looked at him viciously, which made the captain feel funny, he didn't care at all what the peasants in front of him thought.
"Covering the Assassin's escape is truly an unforgivable act. The captain said with a smile, his eyes fixed on the petite and lovely Sissi.
"What are you going to do?" Herschel roared, noticing the captain's lewd eyes.
"Your daughter is really good-looking, and if she can serve me and my soldiers well, I may be able to keep you peasants alive. The captain smirked, and the other soldiers laughed happily.
"You dare to touch my daughter!" Hershel roared, but it made the captain and soldiers laugh even more.
At this time, several soldiers looked at the captain with a smile, and the captain also smiled and nodded, and the soldiers walked towards Sissi, Sissi hid behind Zack in fear, Zack protected Sissi, he met the soldiers, the soldiers drew their weapons, and they were about to slash at Zack with a smile.
"I'll fight for you!" Suddenly, Lola got up from the ground and was about to rush at the captain, who laughed and kicked Lola to the ground, and then drew his sword, which cut off Laura's head with a single sword, and laughed.
"Whoosh!"
Two throwing knives were thrown, and two soldiers who were about to attack Zack fell to the ground, the captain and the soldiers were taken aback, and at this time, Christine also rushed out angrily.
"You cowards, do you only bully the weak?" Christine roared, her injuries were obviously not healed, and after throwing two throwing knives hard, Christine had already lost a lot of strength, but she still drew her sword and dagger, and rushed into the crowd angrily.
"This is the Assassin! Hurry up and take down this Assassin!" the captain shouted to the soldiers around him, several of whom immediately rushed towards Christine.
Christine struggled to dodge, but she obviously didn't have enough strength under her feet, she swung her curved sword and cut down a soldier with the help of skill, but the spear of another soldier had already stabbed in front of Christine, Christine hurriedly used a dagger to open the spear, but due to the lack of strength, Christine did not set the spear too far, and the spear still slashed her arm.
Herschel on the other side pushed away the soldier beside him, he turned around and picked up the pitchfork leaning against the wall of the hut, and then quickly stabbed a soldier who was unsuspecting.
"Zach, kill these bastards!" Hershel roared, and Zach immediately responded.
"Sissi, hide in the house!" Zack said to Sissi, who immediately turned her head in tears and ran towards the door of the house.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew and hit the back of Sissi's heart, Sissi's eyes were open, and she fell to the ground with a painful face, she was only sixteen years old, but she died tragically here.
"Bastard! brute!" Zack screamed, he hurriedly picked up an axe on the side, and then swung it at the soldiers who surrounded him, Zack, who was not dying, but for a moment the soldiers were also scared, two soldiers had been cut down to the ground by Zack.
"Kill them for me! Kill them for me!" they reversed!" the captain roared, he brought a lot of soldiers, and with the three of Christine, Herschel and Zack, they couldn't handle it at all, not to mention that Christine still had an old injury that had not healed.
At this time, Baggio also rushed out, although Anna repeatedly warned Bagio to keep a low profile and be cautious, rather than to participate in this battle that did not belong to them, it was better to sneak away, but in the end Bagio could not resist the condemnation of his conscience, and he decided to intervene in the dispute.
Baggio's target was directed at the captain, his right hand steel long sword, his left hand stabbing sword - the fairy thorn, cut at every person, several soldiers who wanted to get close to him, were cut down by Bagio mercilessly, Bagio is a hero on the battlefield, in the face of these soldiers, what is he afraid of.
No one can stop Baggio, on the contrary, the soldiers are afraid of him when they see the brave Baggio, who has been on the line of life and death for many years, although he is only about twenty-two years old this year, but he has experienced too much.
The captain saw Bagio rushing towards him, he knew that Bagio's skills were extraordinary, so he didn't dare to slack off, he raised his long sword, wanting to fight to the death with Baggio, Bagio's long sword slashed at him, he wanted to use his long sword to stand against Baggio's long sword, so he raised the long sword horizontally, facing Bagio's long sword.
"Oops!"
The captain screamed, he didn't block Bagio's blow at all, Bagio cut off his right hand holding the long sword, and his right arm held the long sword, and flew straight out, which is enough to prove how powerful Baggio's blow is.
Before the captain could make a second reaction, the fairy thorn in Baggio's left hand also attacked, and the sword pierced the captain's chest directly, and the captain looked at Bagio with wide eyes and a look of fear, he didn't expect that he would be killed in the unknown person in front of him.
However, the soldiers of Wuling Fort are really well-trained, even if their captain falls here, these soldiers have not wavered, they are still resolutely rounding up and killing Christine and others, such soldiers, no wonder they will conquer a large area of the free city-state, it seems that Will Berg, the ruler of Wuling Fort, is really not an ordinary person.
"Curry!
Christine was weak, but she was still fighting, but one soldier, while Christine was panting, quietly attacked her side and back, and a spear stabbed out, and at this time, Zach rushed over.
"Ahh
Zach screamed in pain, he stood in front of Christine, his lower abdomen was pierced by the spear, but his left hand grasped the spear, and with his right hand used the last of his strength to throw the axe, the axe hit the soldier's head, and the soldier fell without snorting.
"Zack!" Christine hurriedly ran to Zack's side, Zach had fallen to the ground, he had been pierced by the spear, Christine knelt beside Zack, looking at Zack with a painful expression.
"Hey...... Curry ...... Are you alright?" Zach said to Christine with a smile despite the sweat on his forehead, and Christine felt even more pain.
"I ...... My name is Christine...... I'm a ...... Assassin...... I'm sorry......" Christine said bitterly, gritting her teeth.
"Christine...... That's good...... I like you so much......" Zach said weakly, his eyes gradually empty, he tried to caress Christine's cheek, but he struggled to raise his hand halfway, and it fell, and he didn't move.
"Zach!" Christine cried, it stands to reason that a master assassin who has lived in the Assassin Organization since he was a child should be cold-blooded and ruthless, but after Christine left Black Harbor, she became less numb, maybe the emotions accumulated over the years have begun to erupt gradually.
Seeing that his last son, Zack, also fell, Hershel seemed to have no strength and spirit to fight anymore, he stood in place, looking helplessly at his wife Lola, eldest son Zack, who had fallen to the ground, The second son Ronnie and daughter Sissi, Herschel smiled bitterly, he didn't know whether his choice was wrong or right, he helped a stranger, but caused the whole family to die tragically, but if he chose again, Herschel felt that he would still choose to help Christine, because he really couldn't sit idly by and watch those who needed help, not to mention, Herschel didn't realize Christine's evil, the real evil, just reality.
A sword, a long sword pierced the back of Herschel's heart, Herschel smiled bitterly, looked at his room, and then fell to the ground, Herschel's family may be reunited in another world.
"Let's get out of here!" said Anna, who also waved her whip as she came to Baggio's side and shouted at him.
Baggio looked at the soldiers around him, and then looked at the Herschel family who fell to the ground, and nodded helplessly, after all, the strength of an individual is too small, Baggio has always been deeply aware of this, no matter how strong a person's strength is, he is only a human after all, and it is impossible for a person to fight against a well-trained army.
Baggio and Anna rushed to Christine's side and pulled her up, Christine wiped her tears, gritted her teeth, and the three of them fought and retreated, although they were not capable of defeating these soldiers, but it was not so easy for these soldiers to catch the three of them, Baggio, Anna and Christine, quickly escaped from the siege of the soldiers and fled to the southwest.
