Chapter 35: Victory or Defeat?
Chapter 35: Victory or Defeat?
The spear in Wales' hand was as fragile as a piece of paper, and the hard steel head was easily smashed.
Lorena, who followed closely, did not give Baron Babu any respite, and the enchanted spear in her hand charged with a dazzling lightning and stabbed towards the wound left on Baron Babu's body earlier.
But Baron Babu was completely unafraid of the power of lightning at this time, and stretched out his left hand to grasp the head of the enchanted spear tightly. Madigan's long-handled battle axe also swung out, and a strong 'whirring' sound of breaking through the air reverberated the air currents around him.
Baron Babu shook off the enchanted spear with one hand and carried Rolena out of the distance, gripping the hilt of his sword with a heavy swing. The red blade swayed a red-like shadow, and it collided with the long-handled battle axe.
With a 'click', the heavy battle axe in Madigan's hand was like firewood, and the axe body was completely split into two parts. Seeing that the situation was not good, the alert Madigan immediately took a few steps back with the force of the huge impact.
Sure enough, Baron Babu slashed with a sword. The red sword almost slashed against Madigan's waist and abdomen, and the sharp air left an extremely narrow and slender blood mark on his body. Madigan took a deep breath and secretly praised himself for his cleverness and the blessing of the gods. But before he could rejoice for himself, the scythe of death came again.
The red sword slashed straight at his chest at Baron Babu's dance. Fortunately, Matthew, who fell off the horse, came to support in time at this time to block this fatal blow for him. Immediately afterwards, a cold arrow scurried towards Baron Babu's chest again, but Baron Babu directly caught the arrow with his bare hands.
The gladiatorial battle between several people in the center of the battlefield has reached a stalemate, but a one-sided situation has emerged on the main battlefield. The soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress in the rout were defeated by two waves of cavalry and mercenaries, while on this side, the cavalry and mercenaries of Blue Water City became more and more courageous.
The soldiers of the Black Fortress, who had lost their defensive lines, suffered a large number of casualties, and gradually began to break and flee.
Back on the other side, after Matthew had taken several swords in Baron Babu's battle, the cold steel longsword in his hand was also broken. So far, no one dared to fight with the red long sword in Baron Babu's hand, but for a while, the people who were afraid were scattered by Baron Babu.
The slightly inferior Madigan and Lolena were in danger under the pursuit of Baron Báb, and Wales rode his war horse and rushed towards Baron Barb's back with a loud shout.
Baron Babu put down the pursuit, turned around and slashed the ground with a mopping slash, directly beheading the Welsh horse in the crotch from the bottom up. If Wales hadn't been prepared to jump off his horse earlier, he would have followed in the footsteps of his beloved horse by now.
But it was the sacrifice of the war horse that won a short gap for everyone-
Matthew, who had been exchanged for a giant sword, rushed to the first, jumped high and slashed at Baron Babu. At the same time, Lolena turned around and stabbed the charged Thunder Light Enchanted Spear in her hand at Babu. In the distance, it was even more impossible for Eagle to miss such a sniper opportunity, and he fired several arrows with poisonous arrows. Even Madigan didn't know where he had picked up an axe and threw it at the barbarian with all his strength.
Just when everyone thought that Baron Babu could not avoid it, he roared in the face of attacks from all directions, and held his sword with both hands, and the red blade burst out with a burst of red light, and then suddenly began to spin itself.
"Storm of Blades"
A violent red air flow immediately spun around him, and countless sword shadows rushed out around Baron Babu, instantly blocking all attacks. And the swept sword stream also knocked Matthew and Lorena back.
After a few moments, the sword stopped. Baron Babu remained intact in the middle, while Matthew and Rolena were pushed back to the ground.
However, at the moment when Baron Babu stopped moving, in this brief breath, a strange blade that was originally invisible and shadowless flashed in front of the defenseless Baron Babu like an aurora.
『Lotus Blossom』
At this moment, Baron Babu didn't even perceive any dangerous aura. There's no time to react in my head. However, as a Dassault fighter, instinct came into play at this critical moment and saved his life.
Baron Babu's body seemed to feel a crisis, and he took his sword back and blocked it in front of him without controlling his hands, just in time to follow the swordswoman's divine sword.
There was a crisp "boom", and another blade broke in two. And this time, it was the red long sword in Baron Babu's hand that was broken. And the sound was also ejected by the force of the shock on the red long sword for a long distance.
In the moment when Baron Babu was stunned by the broken red sword, a cold sword pierced his magic armor and pierced through his chest. At this time, Wales held the hilt of his sword and looked coldly at him, his eyes exuding explicit hatred. Then the Welsh Governor had no intention of stopping, and used all his strength to slash the sword into Baron Babu's chest.
"Baron Babu, do you remember! This sword is to repay your humiliating hatred for me and Bishui City six years ago!"
"Roar!!"
How do you know that Babu, who was pierced through the chest by a long sword, did not lose the slightest combat effectiveness. Instead, he let out a loud roar and stabbed his broken red sword at Wales.
The Welsh prefect couldn't avoid it, and was instantly stabbed in the abdomen by a broken sword. However, no matter how Baron Baron broke free, Will always held the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand, and grasped the crimson blade with the other, without the slightest intention of letting go, and gritted his teeth.
"Let's die together!"
At the same time that the two of them were frozen there, the female swordsman Yin stabbed at the short sword again.
Baron Babu panicked when he saw the strange blade, and immediately let go of the long sword in the Welsh hand where the hilt of the red blade was broken with a punch. Wake up and dodge the female swordsman's stabbing sword.
Baron Babu then fled desperately in the direction of the Blackstone Fortress. And after seeing the main general flee, all the soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress completely collapsed and began to flee in frenzy...
After the mercenaries saw the defeat of the other party, they shouted while pursuing, and the cavalry regiment also began to chase and kill unscrupulously, harvesting the fleeing soldiers.
On the other side, the injured Matthew struggled to get up from the ground and walked to Wales' side, trying to help him check the wound. Although the garrison commander's inaction in Blue Water City was a little repugnant, Matthew, as a comrade-in-arms and warrior in his short time together, had a lot of respect for him.
"No need..."With Matthew's support, Wales sat up from the ground with a stubborn will, and he pointed to the hilt of the sword in his abdomen with a pale face and smiled bitterly: "This sword is called 'Bloody Plague', and those injured by it will lose blood like crazy, and it is difficult for any means to stop bleeding." If it is a minor injury, it may be able to be treated. But I..."
Matthew looked at the wound that was still bleeding, and was silent for a while: "Do you have any other wishes?" ”
"Until today, I had two wishes..."Welsh held up the blood-covered broken sword in his hand, and his smile was indescribable whether it was relief or loss: "A sword I have just done with my sword... The other one is about my daughter... I want you to do my father's duties in my place..."
Matthew hesitated for a moment and nodded, "No problem." ”
"Very well," Wales slowly closed his eyes, "at the station outside the city... I left a letter for my lordship... Should... Can it help... You guys..."
Matthew slammed his fist to the ground.
"He's, good guy, isn't he?" the female swordsman looked a little melancholy.
"Perhaps. Lolena nodded, and with a complicated expression, Madigan and Eagle gave a warrior salute to Wales: "At least, he is a respectable person today." ”
High above the tower, Mayfield looked at all this and let out a long sigh.
What Wales did today is not known to him if it was a surprise or an unexpected loss. He didn't see at all that this garrison commander, who had been doing nothing in Blue Water City before, and was even persuading him not to go to war with the Blackstone Fortress, actually had such determination and will.
Originally, even if he didn't risk his life like this. After Baron Babu's sword was broken, could he continue to resist their siege as before?, but the garrison commander insisted that he chose to make a break with Babu.
Think about Wales when she said goodbye to him.
Perhaps, Wales had already foreseen this outcome when he decided to go with Matthew.
It was the obsession hidden in this chief's heart that brought him to this situation.
"Fools. ”
The young man muttered to himself as if sorry and slowly left the tower.
