Chapter XXXIX

"Sir Tucker, why don't you use all your strength, it wasn't like that when you were still working for the Empire, you rushed into Eagle Castle alone, you cut down hundreds of people by yourself, and you only used thirteen swords," said Yuris, looking at Ethan Tucker, who was riding side by side.

Ethan was a little distracted, he just passed through a hmm, and Yuris next to him still did not give up, still boasting about the first time he met Ethan, Ethan listened to Yuris tell his story and couldn't help but fall into memory.

At that time, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy, but he was already a famous knight in White Lion City, and his teacher was the invincible Gerody Royce, Ethan was made a knight at the age of eleven, the youngest knight in the Empire, and one of the most outstanding disciples of Gerody.

On his seventeenth birthday, Geraldi was ordered by the Emperor to send him and two other students to the Eagle Castle to assassinate Earl Whitehawk, Yuris's father, which was obviously not what an upright knight should do, but in order to revive the empire, they could do without these honors.

The three of Ethan took advantage of the battlefield of North Quake and went straight to Eagle Castle, as long as the Earl of Whitehawk, who was then the military commander of Dale Worff, died, then Dale Worf's army would collapse on all fronts, and no one would want to listen to the orders of the stupid Woking II.

Eagle Soar Fort was heavily guarded, with a soldier standing guard every three steps, outnumbering more warriors Ethan had seen on his way through the battlefield.

"Listen, I'll go and get rid of the guards for the two of you, and Isantak will take care of the rest," said Esantak, pulling out the fangs of his sword and walking towards the guards. In a few moments, Eagle Soar was in chaos, and Ethan Tucker stood on the wall after killing two soldiers, holding a blood-red sword that seemed to provoke everyone.

The guards and soldiers continued to gather towards Ethantak, but Ethan did not change his face, leaning against the wall to prevent enemies from all sides, and there was plenty of room to fight. Every swing of the sword carries a sharp sword aura.

With only thirteen swords, he cut in two more than a hundred elite warriors who dared to come forward, and the stumps and broken arms were piled up in front of him, and these were all seen by little Yuris standing on the tower.

Standing in the crowd, he was like a killing god, cold and bloodthirsty, he was an army alone, and he approached the trembling soldiers with a blood-dripping sword. No one dared to take a step forward anymore.

There was a burst of laughter, and the Earl of Whitehawk stepped out of the crowd and walked up to Ethan, who could not see the slightest fear in his eyes.

"Both of your companions have already been dealt with by me, and you are not ready to surrender?" said Earl Whitehawk.

Ethan just snorted coldly, and was about to slash his sword, when the Earl of Whitehawk in front of him spoke again, "Don't you know what happened during your time on the road? The empire has changed! The crow came to report that Gerody's son had assassinated the heir of the empire, Prince Duran, and Prince Mitis, who was supported by the Royce family, officially became the heir, and your teacher Jerodi, who supported Prince Dulang and went against the family, was expelled, and even several of his students were wanted by Mitis. The Empire's front-line army is about to withdraw to defend the new heir, and what are you holding onto?"

Ethan's sword fell to the ground, his faith collapsed, and since he was a child, he had dreamed of becoming an admired hero, but now everything happened shattered his dream, and he was abandoned by his own country and became a wanted criminal. He fell to his knees in pain and shouted at the sky.

Ethan couldn't help but clench his fists as he recalled, his knuckles turning white.

"Huh"

The crossbow arrow passed through Yuris's arm, and Yuris fell off his horse and his life and death were unknown, Ethan immediately drew his long sword and fangs, jumped off the horse, and stood in front of Yuris, posing and preparing for battle.
