Chapter 034: (Brotherly Confrontation)

The two sides that have already stirred up hatred must fight to the death.

And through this killing, through the hatred rooted in the heart, the powerful power that arises. It, at the moment, is carving a coat of arms of blood.

The woods were ablaze, and several Rhodoks on fire hissed and wailed. All the tents in the camp were set on fire, except for the caravans loaded with goods, which were not burned.

After Rutgers led nearly 1,000 knights of the Second Banner Battalion of the Sanctioned Knights and more than 800 soldiers under his command to capture [Estinina] without much effort, he led his cronies to plunder the surrounding villages within a radius of 50 leagues.

This time, Rutgers was supposed to take a group of knights to the Swadian camp at the foot of the [Marasburg] Hill to meet with Baron Griffin and discuss important matters. It just so happened that when I was passing through this wood, I found the light of the fire in the woods, and this scene came to life.

The woods, shrouded in moonlight and firelight, were filled with the wails and shouts of the Rhodoks, but they still did not escape the doom of death. The steel-clad Swadia knights tossed one leather-clad Rhodok mercenary after another to the ground.

Only the man with the broken arm can be equal to the Swadia knights, or even have the upper hand. His greatsword caused the Svadian knights to retreat in a series of defeats. Even though Sir Owen was as fast as a shadow when he struck his sword, he couldn't resist the opponent's powerful blow. Had to defend passively.

Ramsey's every swing of his sword was filled with hatred and rage, and every tiny vein in his body became as hard as the bones of an angry lion, and he used all his strength to swing his sword and slash at the Swadia knight in front of him. He will cut off the man's head and avenge his son.

Sir Owen was clearly at a disadvantage in the face of sheer strength, and his advantage was the speed with which he struck, delivering a fatal blow to the opponent in the blink of an eye. But the other party's strong offensive like a lion made him dare not be careless.

Sir Galahad Cohen saw this and joined the battle between them, and Ramsey had to go one-on-two, and his previous aggressive attack abruptly reversed to passive defence. As the saying goes: Two fists are no match for four hands, and a good man can't stand up to a lot of people! Not to mention that Ramsey only has one arm.

Sir Galahad was known as 'Bitter Steel', but the title was not unfounded, but was given to him by those whom he defeated and feared him. He was tall and athletic, but at the same time lean and agile. Sir Galahad was an angry man who never laughed.

Ramsey is just as tall and athletic, but he is missing an arm. Faced with the strong combination of two Swadian knights, he was quickly at the disadvantage. Sir Galahad confronted him, while Sir Owen used his speed to stand by.

'Quick Sword' Owen saw the opportunity and stabbed the one-armed man on the opposite side a few times, although the other party let him avoid the vital parts, but the pain caused by those wounds made the one-armed man move a little slowly, and the force of swinging the sword was obviously not as violent as before.

Not far from them, Edward and his half-brother, Baron Rutgers, were equally inextricably linked. Both Rutgers and Edward had been taught by Baron Parocus, who held the title of 'First Knight' of Swadia, and their sword skills were almost the same.

"It's too late if you let it go now," Edward assured him. "I will plead with my uncle, beg him to forgive you for your crimes, at least I will beg him to let you live!"

Edward still had a hint of luck in his heart, and he hoped that the other party would let go and repent of the sins he had committed. Or maybe it's because he can't kill his half-brother, and he struggles between hatred and blood.

"Let go, you have the power at your fingertips, and you actually persuade me to let go. Rutgers sneered with disdain. "Wild/Seed, did I knock your head out and become as stupid as these Rhodok mountain guys?"

"You're the stupid one, do you really think you're going to get all that you want?" retorted Edward firmly. "No, you'll never get it, it's Iris's. ”

"Iris, Iris," Rogers repeated the name, a name he knew. "He's just a timid little girl who can only recite poetry and paint, what qualifications does he have to inherit everything that the Harungus family has?"

"He's the son of his uncle, and he's the first in line to the line of succession to the Harongoth family, and that's enough. Edward reminded the other sharply. "Uncle won't allow anyone to touch anything that belongs to Iris. ”

"You think I'm going to be scared of that dying old fellow?" Rutgers snorted, in contempt. "Just because he was the arrogant Black Eagle doesn't mean he always will be. He's old, and he's dying, and a dying black hawk can't scare anyone. ”

"No, it can't be," Edward retorted again. "My uncle's body has always been tough. He didn't believe his nonsense at all, and when he left Harlan Gosburg, he didn't notice anything unusual about his uncle's body.

"Wild/Seed, are you pretending to be confused with me again, do you think you can hide it from everyone?" Rutgers gave the other a disdainful look. "Not only did I know that the old guy was sick, but he also knew that he was not very sick, and that he would not live long. ”

Edward's whole body tensed, like a bowstring, and he roared loudly. "No, I don't believe it!" But did he really not believe it in his heart?

"Rutgers wouldn't say that to me for no reason," Edward thought uneasily. "There's no need for him to lie to me, because he doesn't even bother to lie to the 'wild/seed'. But if what he said is true, why should Uncle Lu hide his illness?"

"It seems that the old fellow has always treated you like an outsider," Rutgers said in a somewhat teasing tone. "The old guy has been hiding from you all along, and he must not believe you, you Rhodok bastard. ”

Edward was fed up with the insults, and there was an unquenchable anger in his azure eyes. The sword in his hand tightened, but it also shook harder.

No matter how scared he was, he was afraid that his hands would be stained with his brother's blood. Even though the other party never treated him as a brother, but insulted him and ridiculed him in front of everyone again and again, they were always half-brothers.

"Wild/Seed, what are you afraid of?" Rutgers, on the other side, noticed his bastard brother's reaction, and he continued to mock. "Don't you dare to attack me? Are you afraid that after you kill me by mistake, people will give you the title of a relicide?"

"Shut up, Rutgers," Edward's iron face was pale, and the anger that was about to erupt was unmistakable, his shoulders trembling violently, and his voice gradually changing tone. "You are the one who truly deserves the title of Murderer. ”

"Wild, bastard, Rhodoc mongrel," he sneered, still expressionless, "you see, you already have so many resounding titles, what does it matter if you add one more?" "But I doubt that the wild seed has that courage. ”

His eyes were red in almost despair, and the tears were tried to be forcibly hidden, but they still flowed out unexpectedly, not in hope. The anger that had been endured for so long exploded. He hung his head, clenched his fists, and shouted without thinking with the only madness: "I'm going to kill you!"

"Come on, wild!" Rutgers raised his sword and confronted his bastard brother. "What's the point of you living in the world, you're a superfluous person in the world, you're a lowly and humble Rhodoc bastard. ”

Edward also felt that he did not belong to this world, and it was superfluous. During that time, sadness and pain surrounded him, and humiliation and low self-esteem continued to ravage him. But he didn't think about dying, he was superfluous and a wild seed. Even if it's true, so what.

Since he was born, there is something he should do, no matter how sad and helpless he was before that, how lonely and lonely he was, he could keep a trace of expectation in his heart. Looking forward to the arrival of his mission! Now he will not give up hope of living.

Enraged, Rutgers was too impulsive, and he slashed at his bastard brother opposite, but Edward Knight didn't take advantage of this flaw to give him what could have been a fatal blow. Edward simply removed Rutgers' helmet, revealing his face completely.

This relieved the many knights who were worried about Rutgers' safety to let go of their hearts hanging in their throats. Even the Rhodoks could have seen that Edward might have taken off the Swadia knight's head, but he had only removed the other's helmet.

Lenid was surprised by Edward's concession, as it wasn't like his usual style. But he was not Edward, so how could he understand his mind? But he knew that the knights had their own reasons for everything they did, even though they had known each other for a short time.

Illuminated by the light of the fire and the moonlight, Rutgers showed unkempt blonde hair and a handsome, cold face. "Don't you dare to do it? Didn't you just roar to kill me? Why didn't you dare to do it again?"

At this time, Edward's ear heard Arya's call: "Edward, Edward save me!"

Edward looked in the direction of the voice, and he saw the girl, and he saw his two knights controlling the girl. He suddenly became sad and joyful, and he wanted to rush over to save the girl immediately. But he knew that his half-brother would not let him take a step closer.

"You even told her your name, it seems that this girl has an unusual relationship with you," Rutgers said with an interesting hint. "Oh! When we found her, she was lying naked in the tent!"

An irrepressible anger rushed up and arched over his head. "Rutgers, you're a ****," Edward couldn't suppress his angry tone and glared. "No, you're not even as good as **, you're a brute. ”

Rutgers was so angry that his face turned purple and his mouth was bared, and he couldn't speak for a long time. "I haven't been able to teach you a lesson," he said, his eyes fist-wide, furious. "This time, I promise I won't let you live to see the sunrise again. ”
