Chapter 58: Gambling
It's terrible.
The atmosphere on the battlefield froze for a moment, and Carlyle gripped the cavalry gun tightly, his eyes locked on the girl Lulu, and the other party returned a somewhat bloodthirsty smile.
Behind the two, neither the other guards nor Prince Asaph spoke.
"Hand her over to me, and you will continue to guard the temple gates where you are. There is another killer lurking here, and Her Royal Highness the princess cannot be affected. ”
After thinking about it for a moment, Carlyle instructed the guards.
If the girl killer is the only one to deal with, Carlyle can also use his numerical advantage to besiege her.
But because of the man who lurked in the shadows, Fizterle, he had to disperse his forces.
After all, Carlyle, as a member of the special security forces, is essentially a soldier, and soldiers have always been obedience to orders.
At the first rays of dawn of the day, Iroh gave him an order to guard the Legacy Temple, and no one was to enter until the ritual was complete.
So in this situation, he can only choose one person to face this terrible girl, and that equally powerful man.
The danger is great, but the odds are there, and as mentioned earlier, Carlyle is a very skilled tactician, and he won't do anything he is sure of.
Carlyle set up the cavalry gun in both hands, his attention was more focused than ever at the moment, and he didn't dare to let go of any of the opponent's actions in the face of Lulu, a killer who was known for his weird skills.
"You're really good, but if it's just that level, I don't think you can take my heart. ”
In the face of Carlyle's provocative words, the girl finally showed a look of distress.
She frowned slightly and said, "If you really can't take it away...... It can only be destroyed. ”
The next moment, I saw her hands holding the sword gently raised.
The cold sword light suddenly slashed, leaving the sound of the cloth tearing in the air.
Carlyle dodged the slash sideways, and narrowly parried the other sword hidden under the slash with his spear, and sparks sparked in the fierce friction between the spear and the sword!
Taking two steps back, Carlyle didn't have time to counter his opponent when he saw Lulu swinging her twin swords and slashing at her in succession, and the continuous offensive was suffocating like a wave.
"Bell, bell!"
Perfect parry again and again, but what is hidden under the excitement is extremely dangerous. Carlyle can see very clearly that every sword of Lulu is aimed at her own vital point, and once one sword fails to stop, maybe the next moment she will be disemboweled!
With another deep breath, Carlyle straightened his spine and stood as straight as a javelin, his spear held across his chest as a shield, and no matter how fierce Lulu's twin swords were, he stood here like a towering mountain!
The steel collided with each other, the sound of fierce concussion was like the roar of war drums, and the golden-red sparks flew wantonly, showing a bit of beauty.
At first glance, the two are inseparable, but Carlyle actually knows that he has a bitter heart.
Not only were the attacks deadly, but they were too frequent to find an effective counterattack, and he couldn't be sure that he would be guarding his portal until Lulu was tired.
Wary of Lulu's ferocity, Carlyle is also observing and predicting the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
If you can't keep up with the speed, then use strength and courage to win!
Carré immediately gave up his defense, flicked his wrist, and the cavalry spear stabbed diagonally from the bottom up at an eerie angle, attacking Lulu with a tragic momentum.
He exposes his vital point, but if Lulu chooses to pierce his heart with his sword, then his cavalry spear will also pierce Lulu's forehead in the first place!
It's true that you're good at martial arts, but if you're more ruthless than anyone, this wolf orc, who has been independent since childhood, won't be afraid of any opponent!
Lulu's eyes shrank, she had no intention of dying with Carlyle, so she withdrew her swords and turned to defense, trying to block the ferocious blow.
But she obviously underestimated Carlyle's wrist strength, and the moment she received the impact, the fierce force passed down the twin swords to her delicate body, splitting her directly upside down!
Seeing this, the surrounding guards cheered.
Finally...... A rare opportunity has arisen!
Instead of basking in the joy of success, Carlyle's heart was as calm as water. At this moment, their strength is comparable, and the battle situation is likely to be reversed again in the next moment.
Lulu's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but the congenital disadvantage of women compared to men is difficult to make up, let alone human girls and adult orc men. Lulu's head-to-head confrontation with Carlyle naturally won't take advantage of anything.
After a 360-degree flip in the air, and several steps back in a row after landing on the ground, the girl killer could only stop, her delicate face was a little flushed with blood and qi.
Gasping slightly, the numbness in her arm made her unable to maintain the same high frequency of attacks as before, which made her brow furrow.
Carlyle's difficulty was still beyond her expectations, and she was a little careless just now.
In that case, is it really just "that"?
However, Mr. Carlyle's heart really wants it......
"Keep coming——!"
Before he had time to think about it, Carlyle's shouts resounded like thunder, and he didn't miss this opportunity to take advantage of the victory, and the spear swung again, and pounced on Lulu like a hurricane!
And this time, the opponent did not choose to defend hard, but relied on flexible body movement to dodge horizontally, and won time for the arm to return to normal mobility.
Carlyle's stabbing opens and closes, not as agile as Lulu, but with a rainbow of momentum!
The white stone floor of the square rolled up around their point of engagement, and from time to time there was the sound of the tiles being swept away and cracked by the energy.
The other guards watched nervously as the two men fought, and with Carlyle's best skills, the girl was truly unfathomable.
Although they wanted to go up and help, the presence of another hidden killer made them dare not move.
The man who called himself Fezterle had not been seen since he was gone, but as battle-hardened warriors, they all had a vague feeling of being watched.
Fitzjler is also waiting for his chance.
In any case, the only thing they can do now is to adapt to change.
Swept out a terrifying sword aura again, and at the same time predicted the girl's dodge route, Carlyle shifted in a wrong step, arrived there first, and finally forced the girl into a corner!
"It's over!"
Carlyle roared, and the cavalry spear in his hand slashed sideways towards Lulu's neck with a terrifying storm!
The girl in the black dress did not show any panic, on the contrary, at this time, her eyes revealed a seemingly crazy, but cold to the extreme, like the eyes of a wild wolf when it catches its prey.
The magic swords in her hands danced at the same time, and the red longsword was like a flame with life, easily blocking the oncoming spear, because of the disparity in strength, this could not form a substantial defense, but it caused a temporary stagnation of the opponent's attack.
At this moment, another long sword with a faint blue light also stabbed out almost at the same time, and it was not Carlyle, who was aiming, but the target of ...... Weapons in his hands.
"It's supposed to be you who ends. ”
With the girl's words with a slight smile, a fierce brilliance suddenly rose from the blue long sword, and for a while Carlyle subconsciously looked away.
And that's the chance Lulu was waiting for—even if Carlyle recovered again in less than a second.
The wrist of his right hand holding the blue sword trembled, and the power was transmitted by a strange skill, and then spread to the cavalry spear!
"Bang!"
Carlyle only felt a slight tremor in his hand, and the cavalry spear, which was already powerful and heavy, could no longer hold it, and flew out of his hand.
Her goal was my weapon from the beginning?!
Without giving Carlyle more time to think, the next moment, the crimson flame sword was already quietly smearing towards his neck.
This sword is the real lore!
"Oops!"
The body instinctively wanted to swing the spear to defend, but at this moment his weapon was already flying into the air. Carlyle could only watch as Lulu's sword was like a deadly viper, biting at his throat.
The sword had been gaining momentum for a long time, aiming at the Carlyle's weapon as it was knocked flying.
By the time it reacted, it was too late to dodge.
"Whew!"
The sword pierced into the flesh, and the hot, bright red liquid dripped onto Lulu's face from above, but instead of the slightest hint of relaxation in her eyes, they grew more and more solemn.
Instead of piercing Carlyle's throat as expected, the sword stabbed straight into his right chest.
Faced with the imminent death, Carlyle straightened up, causing Lulu's attack to be directed at his heart - he was gambling that Lulu still wanted his own heart!
Then, Carlyle won.
At the last moment, although she had no intention of retracting her attack, Lulu still hesitated for a moment. After all...... It was not easy to meet a goal worthy of collecting her own heart, a strong organ that belonged to the strong person she wanted, full of vitality......
When it's not a last resort, do you really want to give up?
After a brief hesitation, Lulu subconsciously deflected the blade slightly, so the longsword easily stabbed into Carlyle's right chest, and blood gushed out, but the strong muscles and hard sternum managed to stop the attack, and even stuck the longsword in the flesh.
Lulu, realizing that something was wrong, hurriedly uses her blue sword to try to make up for the mistake - but is still a step too slow.
At this moment, I saw Carlyle's left hand suddenly exert force, regardless of the injury, he clung to the blue blade that came immediately, and firmly imprisoned the deadly blade, so that it could not advance an inch!
At this moment, both of Lulu's swords were restrained by Carlyle.
So decisive, so ruthless!
As a true warrior, you should be more ruthless to yourself than to your enemies when necessary!
"Got you......"
Carlyle grinned slightly, unconcerned about his injuries.
