Volume IV, Chapter 22: The Dark Shadow Knight

In the lit tent, the Drua swordsmen who had just threatened us had already scattered and fled, but more enemies had already surrounded them, and Shoey decided not to do anything, when the tent collapsed and pressed down completely, he split a burning wooden strip above it, and kicked it into another tent more than ten meters away.

Although we were surrounded by dozens of low-ranking warriors of the Order, being in the sea of fire became our advantage, and the enemy stopped at a distance of about ten paces from us, as if trying to watch us both burned alive.

"Lemuel, it's not good to drag it out any longer...... Some of them are busy putting out fires, and there is only one chance to catch up with me when I break through. ”

The temperature around him rose higher and higher, and it had reached the point of being in a trance, and the vision gradually became hazy, only to see Xiao Yi pull out the village rain knife from the scabbard and stab it into the ground, and with a little force, pick up a burning wooden plank, causing it to fly forward in a whirlwind, and the dozen or so camp guards who were facing it had no time to defend, and moved their bodies to hide aside.

She grabbed me to signal that the time had come, threw the scabbard on her back with her hand, and jumped into the air to perform the bouncing footwork of the Black Seal Knight Odysseus antelope, and the toes touched the scabbard flying in the air and jumped again, directly crossing the distance that ordinary people could reach in a dozen steps, and landed behind the Druas who blocked the retreat.

Just like me, the Druas couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, and Shaw wouldn't give them a chance to react. With his right hand, he grabbed the scabbard that landed at his feet and pushed it forward with all his might, and the unlucky guy who was hit in the back door flew out as if he had been hit by a war horse, and knocked down a dozen or so people in succession before stopping. At this time, there were only a few enemies standing in front of me.

I took my nerve and locked onto a panicked enemy, sprinting forward with my broadsword in both hands, and the threat that Shoy had created in the rear line, the Druas were momentarily overwhelmed, and I easily stabbed the guards and squeezed past the enemy in quick succession to break through the encirclement. Following Shaw to the military depot on the west side, the enemy was still chasing after him, and the fire used to delay time had already been brought under control by the enemy. "Captain Augst. There's no way to run like this...... You should be able to beat them easily, huh?"

"Do you think Miss Ben is a heartless eye like Sige, even if she wins, it won't do any good, it's better to run away!"

"Wait, there's another pursuer. It's Isaac's Dread Knight!"

Out of the sea of fire appeared a figure wearing a sheep's skull helmet. A dreadknight in a black breastplate burst out of the burning tent and slashed down with his long blade, shattering the rocks right into the path between me and Shoy, sinking deep into the ground.

Xiao and I stopped at the same time, ready to draw our weapons to fight back, but the attacker didn't give us a chance, and propped up with the long handle of the weapon, throwing off the red cloak behind us to obscure our vision. Then he knocked both of us to the ground with extremely fast kicks, and then got up again. The blade of the long Yue was already pressed against my throat.

Xiao Yi was also unlucky, the assailant restrained me with his left hand, and swung his sword at her with his right hand, but fortunately she was agile, bounced off the opponent's attack with a powerful kick, and pulled out a long knife to slash at it, temporarily freeing me from the siege.

"It's a good idea to create a fire in the sea of trees to burn our army's baggage, but you're still too young, Shoy August!"

The knight's voice was familiar, and after a few rounds of fighting with Shoey, I finally got a good look at his face under his armor, the man with a sinking face who had clashed with Porcha outside the tree.

The other party seems to know Xiao Yi's identity, and her skills are indeed outstanding, her sword skills that mix the two ancient swordsmanship schools of Maitreya and Kamikaze still can't suppress it, but it fights very hard under the brute force blow that it integrates into the body arts, although I want to come forward to help, but the pursuers in the rear have also arrived, so I am so unwilling to arrest people.

"As powerful as the technology is rumored, he is worthy of being the leader of the Wings of Freedom...... But still, it's naΓ―ve!"

The knight completely saw through Xiao Yi's movements, raised his long Yue high to block the jump with all his might, so he repeated the technique to stab the long Yue into the ground and then turned around to throw the cloak out, when Xiao Yi was blocked by the obstructive red cloak, he kicked two roundhouse kicks in the air in a row with skillful body skills, and Xiao Yi who was kicked took seven or eight steps back before stopping with difficulty, holding his chest and looking very painful.

"Are you aware of the disparity in our strength?"

He landed smoothly back to the ground, leveled his pleated cloak and threw it behind him, looking more than enough, and motioned for the nearby guards to capture Shaw.

"Wait a minute...... You're a Druya, how do you know me, and you know my fighting style......"

"My name is Assidia, Lord Isaac's lieutenant, and the leader of the Dreadknights, and I learned your information from Lord Isaac, is that enough?"

"Okay...... Brother Assidia, I haven't lost to you yet! Get out of the way of these little minions, and as you said, I'm going to show you the gap between us!"

Xiao Yi still didn't give up, and stood up again after adjusting his state, and the horizontal village rain knife made Assidia also feel a trace of interest in fighting, so he drank back his soldiers, waved the long Yue in his hand, and put on a confrontational posture.

"Your self-confidence is commendable, but the difference between you and me is not something that your skills can change. ”

"The outcome between us will only be revealed after the fight, and I hate a guy like you who thinks too highly of himself the most!"

In the fierce battle, Xiao Yi used all his strength, and continuously used Maitreya Liu's Juhe technique to attack Assidia, three years of experience has greatly improved Xiao Yi's strength, speed, and physical fitness, and with her amazing talent to comprehend Maitreya and Kamikaze swordsmanship, I am afraid that she is the real master of the two swordsmanship - Maitreya Natsuhiko in the mercenary group story and Simon in the legend of the Four Knights will be proud of her.

But the truth is not so simple, Assidia is not an ordinary person, this fear knight in his early thirties is at the peak of his personal life, more significant strength and physical elements plus more combat experience than Xiao Yi, constantly with a solid long-handled basic posture repeatedly defused and offset Xiao Yi's every sword move, and followed the opponent's movement trajectory always kept a distance of about two steps from Xiao Yi, completely blocking Xiao Yi's five-foot long knife The only possible threat to his Juhe Slash, and he can attack the opponent at any time with physical skills.

"Commander, leave me alone, get out of here quickly, you don't have to fight him!"

I broke free from the guards and grabbed a mace to cause chaos, but unfortunately I was overwhelmed by one of the Drua soldiers, and Shoy didn't care about the duel with Assidia, and turned around in the distance and threw out his scabbard to knock down the enemy who was pressing on me, but sold his back to Assidia's long man.

Sure enough, Assidia picked up the long axle and slashed it in the air, the slash was powerful enough to cut the unarmored Shoey in half, but at this moment, he miscalculated......

Shaw, who had been passive, suddenly swung his knife sharply to turn the head of the knife, stabbing the five-foot long knife from the armpit backwards, and the blade approached his chest before Assidia's attack arrived, forcibly ordering it to break the attack to block the fatal stab, but Shaw's counterattack was not over, he turned around and kicked Assidia backwards with a roundhouse kick, and then threw the knife over at a distance of more than six positions, and the end of the five-foot-long knife in the whirlwind just crossed Asidia's neck.

The scabbard that Xiao Yi threw just now knocked down several enemies behind me in an instant, giving me a chance to escape, I didn't care about getting the sword back that was taken, I just picked up Xiao Yi's scabbard and knocked over the two enemy soldiers who were in the way, and when I passed near her and Asidia, I found that Assidia was only scratched on the side of the neck, but the village rain knife was deeply inserted in the open space nearly ten meters away, and the bare-handed Xiao Yi would be very disadvantageous in the face of Assidia's counterattack.

"Commander, catch the scabbard!"

I don't know which tendon was funny, but I forgot that there was a large group of pursuers behind me, and I turned around with a sudden brake and threw the scabbard at Shoy, and the figures of the Drua soldiers swallowed me up in an instant.

This time, she was no longer distracted by helping her companions, grabbed the scabbard in the air and rushed towards Asidia, the momentum of the rampage made Assidia, who had escaped death, lose the courage to fight back for a while, and actually dropped the cumbersome long Yue and rolled to avoid the collision, and the running Xiao Yi ignored Asidia, and ran straight to his knife to pick it up.

After escaping, Assidia did not arm himself at the first time, but ordered his soldiers to give up their attacks on me and retreat on the grounds of letting the opponent fight in the best condition.

======

"I really didn't see that you were a chivalrous villain......"

Asidia's decision gave Xiao Yi a chance to breathe, after stopping to adjust his breathing, he looked unpleasant, although Asidia in her eyes was injured, but he successfully preserved his strength intact, and in addition to his own tricks were understood by the other party, Xiao Yi failed to test the details of Assidia's bottom at all.

Looking at Assidia again, the scar on his neck was not too deep, and he was no longer in the mood to pick up his sword, and he gripped the handle of the saber with an expressionless face, intending to distinguish the winner from the loser in one blow.

"Your drawing skills are very powerful, and you can use them with a five-foot long knife, which can easily turn your opponent into two. At this point, let's draw the knife again to decide the winner. ”

"Then it's as you wish, take my sword, Brother Xia Yan's trick...... Immeasurable crescent. ”
