Section 10 Chase after you
The sparse rain has become heavier and heavier, and has now turned into a downpour. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe Hediway should be grateful for this rain, because it blocked the view of the pursuers. On this already dark moonlit night, escaping will increase the success rate. Now all Hedaway had to do was find the king's army and join them. Because of the heavy rain, the fire in the castle town should be fine, and countless troops will soon withdraw to the royal capital, of course, just waiting for them to arrive is not reliable, Hediway has to rush over and meet with the deployment himself.
However, Hediway's escape from the window must have fallen in the direction of the atrium, where no soldiers were deployed, and the gardener and maid seemed to be hiding in the house because of the rain. He was alone in the empty garden, and now that the door to the royal hall was closed due to an emergency, Hediway had to navigate the vast atrium to the main entrance, and to do so he had to pass through a promenade near the cliff. As he was about to reach the corridor, Hediway heard a conversation in the middle of the rain. When I looked closely, it was a group of patrolling soldiers. Hediway rushed forward, grabbed one of them by the collar and asked, "Which team are you, leader?"
The captured soldier looked dazed, but after seeing the appearance of the person who asked him, he stammered:
"I ...... I'm the leader, General. β
Hediway, realizing his gaffe, loosened his collar and said:
"The palace has changed! The princess will be handed over to you, take her to a safe place!"
The soldier was still a little confused, and just wanted to pick up the sleeping Alicia, but found that he couldn't feel the weight of his arm, and the two on the ground were not his own arms? With a frightened scream, a large amount of blood gushed out from the soldier's severed limb and splattered on Hediway's face. In an instant, the rest of the soldiers also fell to the ground with blood gushing out, and they couldn't even scream. Suddenly, a chill rose from his spine, and Hediway instinctively avoided it, but a huge wound was still cut on his back. It was a huge claw mark. The purple-clothed assassin appeared silently, murderous. In normal times, Hediway was completely sure that he could compete with one of them, but the princess in his arms was unconscious, and carrying her became a huge burden. Hediway had already begun to gasp for breath, and it seemed that the burden of age was just as heavy. The girl in purple was expressionless, she stared at Hediway like a portrait, and like a fierce beast staring at her prey, exuding an astonishing murderous aura all over her body.
"It's a strong enemy...... Hediwe exhaled a long breath and clenched the sword in his hand. At this time, another group of soldiers trotted close to the place, everyone showed their weapons, and the leader stood behind the girl in purple, and asked in a big voice, "General, what is going on?!" While he asked, the other soldiers had already surrounded Hediway and the girl with spears.
"Be careful, she is the assassin who assassinated His Majesty the King, and the other two are still in the palace, hurry up and send someone to inform the ministers in the palace and the other two generals!"
"Understood!" the leader replied and moved to Hediway's side.
"What's the matter, I didn't call you ......" Before he could finish speaking, Hediway found that his lower abdomen had been pierced by a sword blade, and it was the leader who did it.
"You ......" Hediway tried to avoid it with one hand in his lower abdomen, but there were spears all around, and he had no way back.
The knight who led the team moved to the purple-clothed girl again, smiled contemptuously at Hediway, and said, "The assassin is obviously you, General. β
"What?!"
"I'm sorry to kill Hediway, this is a secret order from Lord Kalan, and it doesn't hurt to say it to you, a dying man. β
"Karan...... I see, this fire is also a good show made by him. Sure enough, this assassination operation was originally a coup d'Γ©tat. β
The girl silently walked up to the leading soldier and stared at him with cold eyes.
"What's wrong?"
A flash of light flashed, and the soldier's right arm vanished along with his shoulder.
"Ahhh!!h
"Why?" the soldier couldn't figure out why the girl, who was supposed to be his companion, had killed him.
The girl didn't say a word, but Hediway understood that it was because the soldier had revealed the inside story of the operation, so the girl wanted to punish the talkative idiot.
The iron claws swung in the air, and the soldier's body was broken in two. His face was full of horror and bewilderment, and perhaps he didn't figure out why this silent girl had to get rid of him until the end.
The other soldiers began to waver, they couldn't understand the change in the situation for a while, they couldn't tell who was the enemy, who was the companion, or both were the enemy? The girl watched all this in silence, as if she had no intention of stopping it in the first place, and that a heads-up duel was what she wanted. The two were at a stalemate, and in the tense atmosphere, there was no sound of rain in the space of the two, only each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
The first to move was the girl's side, only to see that she left an afterimage, and she had quickly flashed to the side of Hediway's arm holding the princess, and she aimed at Hediway's weakness, wanting to erase the princess along with Hediway. There was no time to block it, Hediway immediately turned around and pounced forward, using his back to carry the girl's attack, and another bloody claw mark grazed Hediway's back. His armor was sparse, his flesh embedded in the fragments, and his backbone was faintly visible. After receiving the blow, Hediwe immediately turned around and slashed, and he could see that he had split open the body of the assassin, but there was no feeling of a sword entering the flesh in his hand. Hediway suddenly felt ironic, now the rain was no longer his help, but completely turned into his resistance. The blockade of the field of vision is extremely fatal when fighting against the assassination class. The assassination department is the most proficient character in taking advantage of the darkness and terrain, but the current conditions are very favorable for her. Now there is only one way out, and that is to escape. But where to flee, it seems that the girl in front of him will not let him leave easily, but it seems so impractical to defeat her under such conditions. Hediway frowned, and asked the girl in front of him:
β...... What's your name?"
The ......girl's eyes did not change in the slightest.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything close, but out of respect for your opponent, your martial arts are really impressive. β
"......" The girl looked at Hediway, but still did not say anything.
"But at such a young age, with such a ruthless heart, where did Kahlan find a talent like you? Is it a Thieves' Guild or a Killer Organization?"
β......β
"Don't you want to say it, or are you really dumb?"
The girl pointed to her mouth and shook her finger.
"Really? Hediway looked at the girl in purple sympathetically, and the girl took a moment in an instant, and when she arrived in front of Hediway, it was a smooth split. Heidiwe barely managed to dodge.
"Rude, do you think sympathy is an insult to you?"
The girl's iron claws open and close, like the teeth and jaws of a giant beast. Hediway made the last concession,
"At least, can you let this young princess go, she's still young. β
Looking at Alicia in the coma in Hediway's arms, the girl's eyes changed for a moment. At this moment, Hediway did not let go, he shot the last dagger on his body, the girl reflexively blocked it with an iron claw, sealing her vision for a while, and when she removed her arm, she found that Hediway had run to the opposite side of the corridor - the cliff! As he approached the two, Hediway threw his sword behind him without looking. The assassin had no choice but to use the iron claw to block it again, and in this way, she lost another 1 second. This second was enough for Hediway to reach the edge of the cliff. In the next second, the girl in purple was surprised to see that Hediway resolutely jumped off the cliff with the princess, the cliff is ten zhang deep, although there is a moat below, but the chance of surviving if she falls is also pitiful. Looking at the corner of Hediway's mouth, a strong smile hung on his mouth, the figure disappeared into the darkness and rain, and did not hear the sound of them falling into the water, because the rain was too strong at the moment, and there was too much noise. And the deep darkness made it impossible for the purple-clothed girl to tell where they had disappeared. Heavy rain, once again, became Hediway's aid, helping him escape the assassin's pursuit of the wolf's fangs.
