Chapter 573: Killing the Light
Chapter 573: Kill the Light
"Teach them a lesson, don't die. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lorist said.
"Yes, Your Highness. Pat and more than a dozen guards rushed forward to meet him, and then a "bang" sound of hitting and screaming sounded, and the dozen or so patrolmen who rushed over were all lying on the ground and disarmed.
Pat pulled out the long sword he had just inserted on the ground with one hand, and with the other hand grabbed the collar of the bearded patrol leader, and dragged it directly from the ground to Lorist: "Your Highness, it's over." ā
"Kneel for me!" Pat kicked on the bearded thigh, which was limp on the ground, and two guards came beside him, erecting the beard, so that he could kneel in front of Lorlist.
While struggling weakly, the bearded man endured the pain on his body and shouted intermittently: "You, who are you, who dare to disobey Your Majesty, Your Majesty's prohibition, prohibition, kill in the street, kill people, and dare to rebel and resist arrest...... I, I advise you most, it is best to tie your hands, just capture, wait, wait for Your Majesty's hair, send down......"
Pat raised his hand and gave a big slap to the beard: "Are you blind? Don't you see the angry bear badge we are wearing? What a bold man, he dares to shout and kill our highness, he is impatient with his life, isn't he?"
"Angry Bear Badge...... Raging Bear...... You are from the Norton family......" Bearded exclaimed, and now he understood who Pat was calling His Highness just now: "No, Lord Norton, Grand Duke, Sword, Juggernaut ......"
"Hug, I'm sorry, No, Grand Duke Norton, Your Highness, yes, it's our fault, no, we shouldn't rush, rush, offend Your Highness, yes, it's us, damn it....... please, please forgive me, we ......" The beard nodded directly to the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
"Alright, kneel for me. I just want to ask, why didn't the butler give my wives a bullshit ball to stop you, as a patrol officer to maintain order?"
"No, it's none of our business, Your Highness Grand Duke Norton. The bearded man hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty only asked us to maintain order and stop the fighting, but, but the ball invitation is a matter of the aristocratic circle, and we have no right to interfere." Also, this man is the steward of Hamm, the steward of the Antitario Chamber of Commerce, the man of the Earl of Wickus, I, we can't afford to offend...... A few days ago, the daughter of Grand Duke Handla also encountered an incident of sending an invitation post, and in the end, she had no choice but to accept the invitation before leaving......"
"Oh, can you just take the post, and what if you don't go to the ball?" said Lorlist.
"I don't know much about this. However, the daughter of the Archduke Handra did not seem to go to the ball last time, and the Count of Vicus visited the door the next day, and in the end, the Archduke Handra himself sent the Count out of the house. I heard that the Grand Duke of Handra thinks very highly of Lord Count of Wickus......" replied with a bearded beard.
"Hehe......" Lorist sneered, now he understood why the Count of Wickas would harass Princess Sirivia with such a scoundrel trick as a street poster. The nobles who have no strength can't afford to provoke him, so they can only take their ladies to his ball to show their support, and the powerful nobles can ignore him, but he took the opportunity to get in touch, and he has to look at the face of the second highness and make a mistake with him. This is both to cultivate his fame and to show his strength. It's a pity that he shouldn't have come to provoke Lorlist.
"Pat, give them back the weapon, let's go. I think you know what to do here, right?" asked Lorlist's last question, with a sloppy beard. Although I am still a little unhappy in my heart, after all, I have cut down the guy who blocked the road and harassed his wives. Seriously, it should be Lorist's loss, others just sent an invitation post and moved their mouths, but Lorist made people move their hands and beheaded him on the street. Forget it, in three days it will be the enthronement ceremony of the Second Highness, so there is no need to make trouble in the imperial capital and give the Second Highness face.
"I understand, thank you for the magnanimity of Archduke Norton, I will take care of the aftermath. The beard was overjoyed, it was really a narrow escape, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat, all of which were frightened after knowing Lorlist's identity.
Lorist nodded, and was about to leave with Princess Celivia and them, but he heard a commotion in the distance, and looked up, only to see a servant standing behind the beheaded middle-aged steward just now, holding a few gift bags, with nearly a hundred guards dressed in the same cost, rushing over, pointing at Loliste and his party, shouting: "It's him, it was he who instructed his guards to kill Steward Hamm......"
Well, the body of Steward Hamm's body is still lying on the street, and the evidence is conclusive.
A forty or fifty-year-old captain of the guards came out of the crowd and pointed his sword at Lorist and his party, shouting, "Kill these rebellious thieves, and a few women over there will be left to present to our Earl, and everyone will be rewarded." on!"
The bearded man was shocked: "Stop! Are you crazy......?
No one paid attention to him, and the rushing guards had already exchanged hands with Lorlist's guards, using all the killing moves. And the guards were not ambiguous, and they had already made each other lie down four or five as soon as they saw each other. However, there are many opponents, and each guard has to deal with three or four opponents. There were also twenty or so remaining guards who bypassed the fierce crowd and rushed towards Lorist and the others.
Lorlist's face darkened, and he commanded to Pat, "Kill all these things that don't know how to live or die!"
"Don't ......," the bearded man wailed.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Pat raised his sword and greeted the two bearded guards just now, and behind him there were four guards with gift bags on their bodies hurriedly unloading things to the ground, and soon a large pile was piled up.
To Lorist's surprise, he originally thought that the gold-level Pat would be easy to deal with these guards, but he didn't expect that the other party's guard leader turned out to be also a gold-level. Pat was one against four, and soon fell behind, if it weren't for his swordsmanship, he was good at defense, and under the close cooperation and pressure of the four opponents, he would have been wounded a long time ago.
The two guards who rushed up after Pat were also under siege, and one of them was stabbed in the rib, but fortunately the armor worked and was not seriously damaged. As the four guards who had unloaded their gift bags stepped up, they were able to withstand the dozen or so opponents. This was a large-scale armed battle that took place on the royal avenue, the most lively and prosperous in the imperial capital, and nearly 100 people fought together. More than a dozen enemy guards lay on the ground, and more than twenty guards of the Norton family were also wounded seven or eight, and even Pat was stabbed in the left shoulder.
This section of the street has completely become a battlefield of fierce fighting, and the two ends of the distance are crowded with people, and the surrounding is impassable. The Imperial Capital's influential figure Count of Wickus's chamber of commerce guards and the guards of a certain territorial nobleman who came to attend the grand ceremony fought for their lives, which made everyone who knew the name of the Count of Coast very curious, who was that territorial noble? Didn't he understand that behind the Count of Wickus stood His Majesty the King? This poor reckless territorial nobleman seemed to be about to be unlucky, His Majesty's thunderous wrath would soon come, and no one could destroy His Majesty's enthronement ceremony......
Lorist was also helpless, if his guards were wearing the same standard armor as before, then anyone would know that it was from the Norton family at a glance, and no one would come forward to offend. But this time, Lorist brought a team of 100 guards to the imperial capital, firstly, considering that there was no need to be fully armed to participate in the grand ceremony, and secondly, the weather was hot, and wearing that kind of can-like full-body standard armor was also a chore for the guards, it was too strict and stuffy. So Lorist had his guards wear gray civilian clothes, with only a silver-gray gold filigree openwork armor of the same style on the upper body.
The problem is that no one among the guards knows that this is the new regular dress of the Norton family's armed forces, and even the small Angry Bear badge on the chest is easy to be overlooked, because the silver-gray openwork armor is too beautiful and dazzling, and it is easy to attract the attention of others and ignore the Angry Bear badge worn on the left chest. Just like when Lorist first arrived in the imperial capital, the guards were draped in half-length robes to cover half of their armor. This is Lorlist's order, and when he is in a hurry, it is easy to be dazzled by the sunlight shining on his armor.
In this way, few people knew that Lorlist's guards had changed into new clothes, and Duke Kenmas praised it a few times when he saw it for the first time, but considering that this half-body armor did not have strong protection against the lower body of the hands and feet, he said a few words and didn't care. As a result, the first time he appeared on the streets of the imperial capital, no one knew that it was from the Norton family, and he caused trouble.
Several of the guards who followed Princess Celivia were covered with large and small gift bags, covering the angry bear badge on their chests, and it was estimated that the Count of Wickus's Steward Hamm saw the family members of a nobleman who thought it was an unknown territory, and saw that Princess Celevia was a beautiful and beautiful woman, so he rushed over to send the invitation to the ball, and he was trying to please the Count of Wickus.
But I didn't expect that for Princess Celevia, what qualifications did an illegitimate earl have to invite her to a ball, of course, she didn't care. So the Hamm steward resorted to the ultimate trick, gathering a crowd of onlookers, blocking Princess Celevia's way. As a result, he happened to run into Lorlist, and at the same time, Pat, who had received the report, also arrived with people, and Steward Hamm was beheaded on the spot, and the two servants who followed him hurriedly went back to report the news, and attracted a large number of chamber of commerce guards, and this conflict inevitably happened.
Lorist thought clearly about the cause and effect in the blink of an eye, but what made him puzzled was that the Count of Wake was just the illegitimate son of the Second Highness, and it was said that he had been working in the streets of the city before he was recognized by the Second Highness. To put it mildly, this is the role of a hooligan, even if he is canonized as a territorial earl by His Royal Highness, he can't get rid of the habit of a street scoundrel.
But where did such an unpopular character find so many powerful chamber of commerce guards? The guard commander Pat is a gold rank, and more than twenty guards are all silver two-star or above Douqi cultivation, and they have followed Lorist through many bloody battles, and their swordsmanship is very skillful, and the silver swordsmen of the same rank are not their opponents, even if they are placed in the Norton family's armed forces, they are all centurions and above in their skills and positions.
Therefore, although there were many opponents, sixty or seventy people could not take down more than twenty guards led by Pat for a while. The two sides have reached a stalemate. However, this made Lorist see the strangeness, these guards are all above the black iron rank of the fighting spirit cultivation, and there is a vague battle formation pattern between the advance and retreat, but it is not the kind of skill that ordinary mercenaries and swordsmen are good at fighting alone. How could the illegitimate Count of California be able to gather such an elite? Could it be that behind the Chamber of Commerce opened by the Earl of California stood the Second Highness?
But now it's not Lorist who is entangled in whether the Count of Vicus is a puppet pushed by His Second Highness, it seems that he has to do it himself now. More than 20 guards have completely fallen into disadvantage under the enemy's repeated attacks and mutual cooperation, and they only have the power to parry. If you keep going, I'm afraid you'll die on the streets.
Just as Lorlist's hand grasped the handle of the sword, a voice shouted, "Your Highness, I'm coming...... and Tiger Rose had already rushed into the battlefield with his sword.
One sword by one, the five guards spun blood from their throats and fell to the ground with a spun in the flash of the sword light, and Tiger Rose killed the circle where Pat was fighting, none of those guards along the way were enemies under his sword, and more than a dozen guards could not stop him at all, but were cut down to the ground by Tiger Rose, and the miserable howl was deafening. More than 20 guards were in high spirits, and immediately turned from defense to attack, killing the enemy until they were defeated and retreated.
The main reason is that the appearance of Tiger Rose is too ferocious, and in just a few moments, more than twenty guards have become the ghosts of his subordinates. The leader of the guards who was fighting with Pat, the Golden Swordsman rushed to Pat with a few swords, forced Pat back and then pounced on Tiger Rose: "Bold rebellion, look at the sword!"
Tiger Rose drew his backhand sword, and the leader of the guards raised his sword, but he was taken back several steps by the "kick and kick", and he was stunned on the spot: "Great Sword Master?"
"Very good," Tiger Rose gave a thumbs up with his left hand: "It's the first time I've heard someone call us the Norton family a rebel, you're very kind, I just got promoted to the Great Sword Master, you sent it to the door, I'm very happy, I don't have to look for a sword test object......"
The leader of the guard's face changed drastically: "No, the Norton family...... Stop, this is a misunderstanding......"
"Ahh......h
"Hehe," Tiger Rose licked the corners of his mouth and said with a cruel smile, "I like His Highness's order, kill all you dogs who dare to offend the Norton family, and see who dares to show their teeth and claws in front of the Norton family in the future......"
"No, no, no, this is a misunderstanding, we didn't want to offend your family......" The leader of the gold-level guards was already sweating profusely, trembling all over, and retreated, with a look of despair in his eyes.
"Hehe, I don't care if it's a misunderstanding or not, I only know, whoever commits the Norton family, die!" Tiger Rose shook and rushed forward.
"......No," the leader of the guards cried, "bang" he only blocked Tiger Rose's sword, and the second sword pierced his mouth, and the screaming stopped abruptly.
As soon as the leader of the guards died, the remaining chamber of commerce guards couldn't resist the killing of Tiger Rose like chopping melons and vegetables, and they couldn't even escape, and they were quickly hacked to death by the guards one by one. Then the guards, under Pat's command, began the creepy next step, cutting off the heads of all the Chamber of Commerce guards and piling them up into a small hill in the street.
"Your Highness, fortunately, none of the enemies escaped. Pat came to pay the order, covered in blood.
Although the sun was in the sky, all the onlookers in the distance felt strangely cold, and the onlookers at the front involuntarily retreated, and there were already frightened cries from the crowd behind......
"Locke, what's going on?" Duke Kenmax squeezed out of the crowd with more than a dozen guards from the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce and hurriedly ran over. He and Tiger Rose were discussing the ball to be held in the evening, when a steward of the shop in front of him ran in and said that the distinguished guest who had been with them had a confrontation with someone on the street, and had killed someone......
Tiger Rose immediately rushed out, Duke Kenmax didn't have that skill, he was trapped in the outermost part of the crowd and couldn't squeeze in, only to hear the people in front of him say that many people had died, and then suddenly the front was silent, and the crowd retreated straight back, and he squeezed in.
Duke Kenmeth was stunned when he saw the headless corpses on the ground, and he naturally recognized the uniforms on the dead guards: "How did you kill so many guards from the Antillio Chamber of Commerce, and what happened?"
"The Antario Chamber of Commerce......," said Lorlist, "I know, this is the Chamber of Commerce run by the Count of Wickus." By the way, where is his merchant shop?"
"No, the biggest one in front of me is that he occupies the best place and has the largest storefront. Duke Kenmax gestured not far away.
"Tiger Rose, Pat. Take someone and smash the merchant house for me! Whoever stands in the way will be killed. ā
"Yes, Your Highness. Tiger Rose and Pat replied in unison.
Duke Kenmeth: "......"
