Chapter 6: Coming to Watch the Battle
"Lares, you're only here to interfere with my play! leave me room to show, okay?" Natsuhiko shouted to Manid beside him as he retreated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I see, be careful!"
Manid had to make a way out of the muddy ground because his horse had fallen in the chaos......
"Oops...... Couldn't it be at the right time...... I'm sorry!~"
"Smack!!"
The moment he stepped into the hut, a powerful slap hit him in the back of the head, and Manid collapsed in a shaky manner, revealing a mysterious blonde man in his blurred vision before losing consciousness......
After a long period of hard life and frequent battles, these pirates have rich experience and combat skills against the enemy, and the giant axe of multiple brute forces made Xia Yan also suppressed, so he had to bounce off the attack with all his strength and temporarily retreat, but the pirates still rushed towards Xia Yan with their weapons.
"Looks like I need to teach you a lesson, brute force alone won't beat me!" Xia Yan raised his knife and threatened.
One of the pirate leaders also shouted, "We'll give you a little memorial too, so you know not to bother with our pirates!"
"Sizzle......
The blade of the water moon instantly shone with a terrifying cold light, and when the rain falling from the sky fell on the blade, it turned into cold qi and sublimated, Xia Yan ignored the pirate's words and began his killing move in a whisper......
"Maitreya Flow--Qizhi Tai Knife, immeasurable crescent moon dancing. ”
Due to Natsuhiko's provocative attitude, the pirates raised their weapons and pounced on him. The moment the pirates approached him to attack, he made a move, swinging his knife like a ghost, and the moment the blade slashed through the enemy's body, he stopped them and stood like a straw man in the rain, allowing Natsuhiko to slash......
Ten seconds later, Xia Yan broke behind the pirates and put away his knife, still the same sentence......
"You feel it, too, the cold light of the crescent moon......"
In an instant, the pirate's body struck by the immeasurable crescent moon cracked, and gradually turned into pieces of flesh and fell on the muddy ground, and the blood gradually mixed with the rain spread on the muddy ground......
Seeing this shocking scene, the remaining pirates fled one after another, and Xia Yan naturally would not let them go, but the remaining militia around them regained their fighting spirit and chased the pirate deserters, so he did not make a move......
A strong sense of oppression struck, and Xia Yan was also affected, and hit something behind him with a reverse knife, only to see that the blade was blocked by a glass crystal.
"Bozi!" shattered the glass due to the impact of the blade, and the shards flew towards Xia Yan as if they had been ordered......
He quickly sideflipped and dodged the debris flying towards him, and swung a knife at the place where the glass appeared, and was inexplicably blocked again, at which time the figure of a beautiful blonde man appeared in the void.
"It's worthy of the strongest Maitreya, and he can actually discover my hidden location......"
Xia Yan was full of surprise, but he forced himself to calm down and asked, "Jing, now I also want to ask you, what are your intentions?"
"I am an observer, and I naturally came to Calradia to witness a great war...... And you are the partner I chose~" Kagami replied with a smile.
"It's a pity that I don't want to be a pawn...... If you don't send us back, I'll kill you!
But Xia Yan swung the knife early, and Shui Yue's blade slashed at Mirror's body at high speed, but Mirror only moved his body slightly to dodge the knife.
"It's very good at dodging! try to avoid this remnant of the sky dancing!" Xia Yan began to swing his sword at a super high speed, causing the sword qi to stay in the air, and several sword qi completely blocked the mirror's ability to move......
When Xia Yan recognized the mirror shape and lost the opportunity to dodge, he slashed at the opponent with all his strength, but when the blade touched the mirror's body, the target suddenly turned into a glass crystal and shattered, and Xia Yan's full force missed his body shape, so he had to half-crouch down and stab the knife into the ground in order not to lose his center of gravity.
"Checkmate!" suddenly appeared behind him in the shape of a ghost, and pressed the glass against his medulla......
"You lost, Maitreya Natsuhiko ......" A cold voice came, which was even colder than the shards of glass that threatened his life, and Natsuhiko gave up resistance with extreme reluctance.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan said nonchalantly: "You really like to play chess, what do you want to do now?"
"This continent is a place to observe, and you are a person to observe, it seems that I have done something unnecessary...... But you're too dangerous, and this one must be destroyed......"
The mirror used mysterious power to seal Xia Yan's Suigetsu Taidao into a glass wall, and with a single gesture, the glass wall shattered, and the Suizuki Taidao that was sealed in it also turned into pieces at the same time, and the glass powder passed away with the wind.
"Now, I'm leaving, but I'm still watching you in the dark, and you're writing your own story on this continent!"
In the wind and rain, only Xia Yan was left half-kneeling in place, and the raindrops in the sky fell on his back like sharp arrows, but they didn't make him feel cold, and he kept half-squatting, as if tireless......
After receiving the baptism of wind and rain for a few minutes, Xia Yan gradually regained consciousness, wiped away the dirt and blood stains splashed on his body, and said to himself: "Damn...... I didn't expect it, and I need to get out of here now......"
After some time, in the caravan's tent, Manid opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was the figure of Xia Yan, who cleared his mind and said, "Mr. Maitreya, this is ?..."
"Your caravan, you should have been knocked unconscious, but it's fine now. ”
"Thanks to your rescue, you have once again saved my life as a businessman. ”
"It doesn't matter, the villagers are grateful for our help now, so let's stay here and wait for the rain to stop before we hit the road. ”
Manid agreed to Natsuhiko's proposal, and they set out on their way to Zenda as soon as the rain had lightened......
Early in the morning, in the woods east of the village of Loire, the guards continued to track the horses, which had been completely obliterated by the rain that had just fallen, and were completely untraceable......
"Hell...... This forest is not immune to the wind and rain! there is no sign of it......"
While he was complaining, a small force appeared in the field of vision, about twenty people, and the Ten Guards planned to go over and inquire about some information first.
After a few minutes of travel, the Ten Guards rode to the vicinity of the troop and found that it was a rebellious army, but unfortunately they found themselves, and the rebels gathered their formation and rushed towards him. Seeing this scene, Shibei had no intention of fighting or fleeing, he still hoped to get clues about the horse thieves from the mouth of the rebels, so he took the initiative to meet them.
The rebels quickly came to the front of the Ten Guards, led by a veteran soldier in a cotton robe and holding a compound bow, and behind him were some young soldiers in scattered uniforms, obviously with little experience in fighting the enemy.
"Young man, we have been forced to leave the kingdom of Vegia, if you know each other, don't even think of arresting us or telling us like an army!" said the veteran firmly, ready to draw his bow and shoot.
Shibei thought for a moment and said bluntly: "If you want to fight, I will accompany you." But what I want to know is about you and the real reason for leaving the Kingdom. ”
"We were originally the town garrison of Živachōze, and a salary of 50 silver coins a week was enough for us. However, just three days earlier, Lord Maliga of Živakōtō had gained control of Živachetō, and he had begun to disband the original town defenders one by one. For this reason, our commander went to inform Maliga that the dismantling of the town's defenses would most likely be the cost of losing the town, but he had not returned until yesterday, so we thought it ......" the rebels said in unison.
"So you think Lord Mariga has detained your captain, do you?"
"There is no evidence, but everyone's intuition is that way, so I left the kingdom with my men before I was expelled by my lord and managed to rescue our commander......" explained the veteran.
Shibei nodded his head to show that he understood, and said, "Maybe I can go to the Riwa Cha and have a look, and if I see your commander, I will find a way to bring him out......"
"Why should we believe you, what if you are an assassin arranged by Maliga!" the veteran continued to probe as he continued to probe the young man in front of him, still not believing the height of the sky. At this moment, the soldiers behind the veteran pulled out their not-so-sharp swords in unison......
"There's no point in that!!"
In a flash of cold light, several flying needles shot down the swords in their hands, and the Ten Guards put away their weapons and said, "If I were an assassin, you would already be corpses......"
"Why do you want to help us, for what?" asked the veteran, puzzled.
"I've been tasked with tracking down a very professional horse thief, and as he travels eastward, I think you Virgians might have information about him, and that's what I want. The Ten Guards no longer hid anything, and tried their best to describe the image of the horse thief to the veteran.
The veteran thought for a moment, discussed it with his soldiers, and finally gave an answer: "That guy, he is a legend of the Calradian folklore. The brothers in the road call him Tea, and he also has another nickname, Tristan, the thief, who often breaks into towns and harasses lords everywhere, and now steals the horses of nobles, who has entrusted his friend to hunt him down?"
"Chanda's horse dealer, Payne. ”
"We know him, Horse Trainer Payne, it seems that he is unlucky this time, and it is estimated that the horses have already been shot in the Riva, so are you sure you will continue to chase him?" several soldiers asked, looking hopeless.
"If you accept the task, you must complete it. I didn't expect it to be Riwacheze, but it seems that I will catch that tea and try to find your commander, please ask him what his characteristics are, and then his name. The Ten Guards inquired as much as they could about the target, and the veteran replied.
"Our captain's name is Victor Delacro, and as a noble knight ordained by the king himself, he is usually recognizable in a black lace gown and a leather cape, and his white hair hangs down from his shoulders. ”
Shibei took down the veteran's description, nodded, and proposed: "I have taken this task, and you will wait around here, and the Wacha will meet us in the suburbs at night." ”
After the two sides agreed, the ten guards set off in the direction of Riwacheze......
