(Two chapters in one,It's equal to today's three changes.,Add a chapter for the 'no krypton gold buy figures' book friends.,Thank you really for your support.,It's very moving.......... Tearful eyes)
At this moment, Taylor, Rowan, and Vaughn, a total of three peak knights, have gathered!
Rao couldn't help but jump out of the corners of his eyes, and a trace of despair involuntarily appeared in his heart.........
However, Aaron immediately suppressed this emotion, raised his cross-sword without hesitation, and took advantage of the brief opportunity when Taylor and Rowan were attracted by Vone's appearance, and attacked first-
"It's not over yet, even if it's impossible, I'm going to fight for it!"
Aaron shouted frantically in his heart, the movement of his hand did not stop for a moment, and the cross-sword stabbed Taylor fiercely at a rotating angle, with the spiraling rain flowers around him—because Taylor was the most consumed of the three, and Vaughn was still a little distance from here, he must seize this last chance!
However, as if Taylor had anticipated Aaron's attack, he raised his hand with an orchid-shaped sword skill, blocking Aaron's stabbing long sword.

At the same time, Taylor pressed in, and another sword slashed at Aaron-
Bang!
Aaron hurriedly raised his long sword to resist the attack, only to see a wave of energy rushing wildly along the long sword, and suddenly Aaron's face changed, and the whole person was hit by this impact force and slid on the muddy ground with his legs on his legs, and directly drew two deep ravines along the way!
Patches of grass clippings and muddy water splashed everywhere, like a land that had been run over by industrious ploughing oxen!
However, before Aaron could breathe a sigh of relief, Volne had already relied on the physical fitness of a peak knight to quickly rush to the battlefield, and immediately drew his long sword and slashed at Aaron!
Bang~!
Aaron barely lifted the sword slash that blocked Von, and Vone, who was in his heyday, was unforgiving, raised the cross sword high in his hand, and slashed at Aaron continuously-
Bang bang!
A series of explosions erupted, and Aaron resisted Vone's assault with all his might, resisting the onslaught by constantly retreating.
At the same time, Vone saw that Aaron seemed to be a little physically exhausted, and immediately laughed and said, "You run~! You keep running~!"
"Cunning little mouse, aren't you very good at running? Keep running!!"
With some angry words, I saw Vonn step again, and the whole person slashed down with all his might, vowing to split Aaron into two pieces!
Bang!
Aaron barely raised his long sword to block the blow, but a faint crack appeared on the sword, and at the same time, the crack gradually spread like a spider web, as if he couldn't withstand the impact!
"Could it be that this long sword is going to ........?"
The next moment, Aaron's pupils shrank slightly-
Bang!
After a long and fierce battle, the long sword in Aaron's hand finally couldn't hold it anymore and exploded completely at this critical moment!
The scattered pieces of iron that flew out swept through the majestic rain and brought up a splash, and the silver-white iron pieces reflected the complex expression on Aaron's face.
"Damn it....... Why at this time?!"
Aaron didn't care about anything else, he rolled around in embarrassment to avoid Von's attack, got up and dodged sideways to avoid the vertical slash that Taylor was chasing, and retreated backwards for a distance.
Ordinary iron swords can't withstand the infusion of knights' energy for a long time, and although Aaron's infusion of life aura is not as strong as that of true peak knights, it's not something that an iron sword can withstand for a long time!
In particular, Aaron, Taylor, Rowan, and Vaughn fought fiercely, and they had already exceeded the limit of ordinary iron swords—and finally, the crosssword had exploded completely, turning into a pile of shards and sputtering out.
This is equivalent to Aaron losing the last weapon in his hand, and losing the tool to fend off the enemy, which means that he can no longer use the 'sword skills' that he is proud of.
Again, this pushes Aaron into the abyss of death.........
Because Taylor and the others knew that Aaron was almost certain to die, they were not in a hurry to persecute him personally, lest he jump over the wall and bite people. Tyler made a gesture behind him, and several soldiers hiding in the forest in the distance immediately raised a large bow and crossbow - this is a siege crossbow!
Just now, Aaron naturally couldn't use it when he was fighting with the three of them, but now........ Of course!
"Prepare ......."
The soldiers hiding in the forest pulled their bowstrings together and whispered in unison:
"Five...... Four...... Three........"
.............
The rain is still pouring non-stop,
Drops of water poured down Aaron's body, and a thin stream of water ran down Aaron's hair, skin, and then continued to merge into puddles on the ground, forming a small puddle of water.
"Am I at the end of this mountain?"
Aaron lifted his tired face, which was stained with mud and rain, and looked at Taylor and the others in the distance as if they were looking at dead people.........
"Not only have I lost my weapon, but my body has reached the point of 'exhaustion', what else can I do?"
"If it's just physical fatigue, you can still grit your teeth and hold on, but even if you lose the last weapon, what can you use to fight the enemy?"
Aaron felt the steaming heat in his body weakening, which was a sign that his body had reached the point of 'tiredness', until he could no longer feel a trace of warmth, and replaced it-
The rain kept beating on my body, and a thought came to my heart subconsciously: "It's so cold"
Instead, it was the cold touch of the cold rain, as if representing the 'death' that took away life, and was constantly pumping the heat energy from Aaron's body........ There is already very little heat left.
At this moment, Aaron looked up in the direction of the forest as if he was conscious, and muttered:
"I'm sorry, Angeli...... I..... I failed to keep my promise.....
"I...... I have done my best..... Already..... It's ........"
Intense tiredness kept coming over his brain, and even Aaron's eyes couldn't help but want to close-
"I'm tired enough."
"Shoot~!"
With the roar of the soldiers, the sound of a bowstring being pulled up exploded, and a heavy iron arrow with a terrifying sound of breaking through the air was shot at Aaron, who was standing in a clearing.
Shout!!!

Starwind Lake
A large procession of carriages stopped by the lake, and everyone gathered in Viscount Steve's carriage, and a pouring rain crackled the roof of the carriage, which made some people even more anxious because of it.
Angeli was sitting on the pedal of the carriage, looking in Aaron's direction with a sad expression, and from time to time anxiously looking at the chronograph pocket watch in her hand, her legs shaking to show her inner restlessness and impatience.
At this moment, Steve, who was on the side, glanced at his pocket watch and said in a deep voice: "It's been an hour, and if Aaron wants to come over, he should have been here a long time ago." ”
As if hearing the meaning of Steve's words, Angel looked up at Steve in disbelief, only to see Viscount Steve in the next moment, as expected, he got up and shouted:
"Mr. Aaron may have 'sacrificed', and we are now on our way........"
"No, you can't!"
Angel exhaled urgently, and retorted without hesitation: "We haven't seen Aaron yet, how can we be sure that something must have happened to him.........?
"Then are you going to let the convoy return to save him?!" Viscount Steve interrupted unceremoniously, "No kidding, everyone here knows very well that Aaron may not be able to come!"
"If we continue to wait here, we are joking with the lives of our entire team!"
Hearing Steve's words, Steward Jerry, Lady Reese, and Soldier Green and some other people lowered their heads one after another, as if they were acquiescing to Steve's words.
Seeing this, Angel couldn't help but shout, "Why? What do you mean by this? Aaron helped us delay the pursuers, and now you want to abandon him there........
"That's why!"
Viscount Steve interrupted Angelie's questioning again, and said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because he helped us hold off the pursuers that we can't live up to his efforts!"
"If we want to go back and save him, we are definitely pushing everyone back into the abyss, which is equivalent to wasting Aaron's efforts, and I believe he will not want to see such a result!"
After that, Viscount Steve softened his tone at Angel and said gently, "Lily, I know that he is your first man, so you will feel that you will not forget him, but - don't forget how he did to you in the first place!"
Angel Glori's body trembled when she heard this, and she couldn't help but bow her head, as if recalling the 'bad' treatment she received in Aaron's carriage and Aaron's compulsive behavior towards herself.
When Viscount Steve saw this scene, a smile of relief appeared on his face, and he continued to persuade:
"Don't forget, Aaron forced you into his carriage in the first place, and if he hadn't taken advantage of the situation, you wouldn't have done anything, right? In other words, these are things he forced you to do, not your 'will'!"
"At the end of the day, you just have some hazy feelings about him because of 'that incident', and you don't really forget him. ”
"People always have a beautifying effect on the first time, no matter how bad it actually is"
Viscount Steve's words are not unreasonable, on the contrary, they are quite in line with the status quo - very much in Angeli's case.
In this regard, Angel still kept her head down and said a silent gesture, as if she acquiesced to Viscount Steve's words.
So, Viscount Steve's smile was even more pleased, and he persuaded him in a gentle tone: "My daughter, you still don't understand the rules of survival among nobles, when Aaron uses the situation to force you, why aren't we using him to protect us? ”
"Now that Aaron has successfully completed his mission - he succeeded in getting what he wanted, and then paid the 'price' to protect us, we don't have to feel indebted to him, it was just a deal on both sides. ”
"It's just a 'deal', not a real relationship. 」
If you look at it in essence, it seems that the relationship between Aaron and Angel is indeed like a 'deal', and there is no other agreement involved, so there is nothing wrong with Steve's words.
"Besides, if we go back now, the chasing force that even Aaron can't solve will not be able to do anything with our strength. If the whole carriage team falls into the hands of the enemy, what awaits you is probably an 'nightmare' that you can't wake up to, and Lily should know this very well........."
After speaking, Steve reached out and patted Angeli's shoulder, looked at Angeli, who had been bowing her head and remained silent, and said with relief: "Lily, I know that you still can't accept this kind of change all of a sudden, this is normal, you go back to the car and take a good rest~, I promise that you will forget about him in a few days, by the way-"
Steve turned to everyone and said, "Let's wait another five minutes, and if we don't see Aaron again, we'll leave at once - we can't stay here any longer and adventure." ”
The proposal was agreed to by everyone, and everyone began to pack up their things, leaving Angel sitting on the carriage pedal, who had been bowing her head and silent, while Steve glanced at Angel, and after a warm sigh of relief, turned back to his carriage.
Viscount Steve entered his carriage and lay down comfortably in his chair, waiting for the next carriage to depart, but just two or three minutes later, there was a sudden noise outside.
"What's going on, why is it so noisy, what the hell are the people out there doing?"
Just as Steve wanted to get up and go out to find out, Jerry's butler rushed in and said breathlessly, "Ann...... Ange ..... Miss Angeli........"
"Mademoiselle Angori, taking advantage of our inattention, quietly mounted the only steed and ran back!!"
Viscount Steve's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly rushed out of the carriage, looking up, but he could only vaguely see the end of the line of sight.
A small figure on a horse's back tossed and tumbled in the pouring rain and gradually disappeared into the rain...........
Seeing this, Viscount Steve immediately reached out and covered his forehead, as if he could do nothing about it, because the speed at which the horse really galloped, even the peak knight could not catch up-
Because the speed of the knight is faster than the horse in the first moment, and the speed of the long-term run is definitely not as fast as the horse, which is why Aaron asked to keep a horse in the first place.
It's just that Angel and Viscount Steve are so far apart that Steve can't catch up with her.
Thinking of this, Viscount Steve couldn't help but stomp his foot and cursed in a low voice-
"This idiot~!"
