Chapter 173: Heavy Responsibility
It was a battle of great disparity.
Looking at the bloody corpse of the mage on the ground, Chelton's heart was dripping blood, he had already gritted his teeth, and he wanted to cut these people on the other side with a thousand knives. Not to mention that these guys actually dared to attack the high-level mages of the Mobis family, and more importantly, these guys actually dared to attack them as noble lords! This group of low-level nobles, they don't even have titles, they actually dare to attack their own viscount, it's really bold, it's really rampant to the extreme!!
"You bastards .........!!"
Chelton raised his head and gritted his teeth to look at Yuren in the distance, thinking about how to reprimand the barbarian villagers who had committed the following crimes, but in the next moment, he felt a gust of incense wind passing through him.
Screams erupted.
When the splattered blood flew in front of Chelton's eyes, he seemed to realize that something was happening around him. When he turned his head to the side to check, he found that the guards who were supposed to be on both sides and were responsible for guarding him had fallen backwards and fallen to the ground. And their bodies were all dissected without exception, a sharp straight wound was torn from the forehead to the lower abdomen, and the organs buried in it also overflowed from the gap because they lost the restraint of their bodies and muscles, and the place where they were standing was now occupied by more than a dozen girls in silver armor. They made almost the same gesture, raising their swords and pointing forward. Radiating light, fire, ice, and snow, and the power of the elements covered their bodies and sharp swords.
Each other.
For a moment, everyone froze.
Although the guards who followed Chelton were not first-class players, they all had good strength and eyesight, and earlier they thought that some people who did not know whether they were alive or dead dared to challenge the authority of the Mobius family, so they all geared up to try to teach these intruders a painful lesson. However, when they saw the red dragon flying in the sky, and Judy who was riding it, these people immediately reined in their original thoughts, a knight was enough trouble, and a dragon knight was not the opponent they could imagine. It can be said that since seeing Judy, these warriors have lost their will to fight, and the only reason why they dare to continue to stand here instead of immediately turning around and fleeing is that they don't believe that the other party dares to really tear the skin of the Mobis family to attack, although it is said that the face is inevitably swept away by the other party, but no matter what, Mobis is also one of the top two big families in West, no matter how powerful the other party is, they will not want to do this.
However, the scene in front of them made these soldiers completely speechless.
They didn't expect that the other party would really dare to attack them, and what they didn't expect was that the knight here was not only the red-haired girl. Obviously, judging from the elemental power entangled in the bodies and weapons of these silver-armored girl swordsmen, it is clear that they all have knight-level strength.
Holy grace is above, who is the other party? Even if it is the three major knights of the kingdom, I am afraid that they do not have such strength.
Looking at the corpse of their colleague lying on the ground in front of them, the rest of the guards couldn't help but swallow their saliva, they glanced at each other uneasily, and then took a few steps back. Judging from the current situation, their options seem to be very limited.
βββββββοΌοΌοΌβ
However, the low roar from the rear prevented the soldiers from retreating further, and when they turned their heads to look, they could not help but be shocked -- the red dragon that had disappeared inexplicably before had now reappeared, its huge head lowered, its golden eyes narrowed, and it looked at the human in front of it with unmistakable hostility, and the roaring flames erupted from its mouth, exuding bursts of heat.
Divine grace is above...... At this moment, almost everyone understood what the other party meant, this is to kill them all?!
For a while, everyone was a little dizzy, they couldn't figure out at all what the other party's group of people was from? Could it be that when did the Mobis family provoke such a terrible enemy?
However, they were not allowed to think too much, because at this moment, the Grim Reaper had already raised his scythe.
In front of the real knights, these soldiers did not have any resistance at all, in fact, Judy did not even need to use any sword skills, what elemental power to deal with them, what they had to do was very simple, raise their swords, move forward, and then slash.
No one could stop it, no matter what kind of weapon it was, it would shatter immediately after touching the blades of the geists, and even the armor worn by these people would not be effective at all. And there was no point in turning and running away, their reactions could never catch up with the speed of the sword that shone like a swift wind and thunderbolt.
For a while, the screams were endless.
Chelton also stood still, but unlike his own men, his heart was not fear, nor surprise, but anger. Even now, he still doesn't think the other party will have the courage to attack him. The reason is very simple, he is a viscount, and the other party is just a country nobleman who doesn't even have an official title, he absolutely, absolutely can't do anything to himself!
"You damn hillbilly, you're declaring war on the Morbis!"
Chelton raised his right hand and pointed at Yuren.
"I will swear in the honor of my family, I will ......... you lowly people"
He didn't finish his words, because at this moment, a black figure like a ghost had appeared beside him.
Charlotte snorted, and her elbow hit Chelton's abdomen hard, this violent blow made Chelton immediately snort, and he couldn't help but bend down, covering his lower abdomen with both hands. At this moment, Charlotte was already like an elegant swan, taking half a step back, and then, her slender figure turned around, and then her right leg kicked Chelton on the head without any pause. The poor unsuspecting creature had no idea that he would be struck by such a blow, and after a muffled grunt, he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"My lord, what the hell is this .........?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ofariel couldn't believe what she was seeing. She thought she had seen Judy and the others fight many times, but never one was so shocking as it was now, and it wasn't because of the disparity in strength that showed violence. It's because of the dark and cold evil intent that is being shown in Judy and the others right now. It's a reflection from the depths of the soul, and that's why Offariel can capture it keenly. She looked up uneasily at Yuren. I expect him to be able to give himself an answer, after all, the performance of Judy and the others at the moment is really abnormal.
"It's a vow. β
Julien sighed again, bowing his head and explaining to Ofariel.
"It's part of our contract. β
"I don't understand ........."
O'Faryl frowned, she still wasn't sure why. However, Yulian has already given the next explanation.
"I think you already know about Charlotte's background...... They used to live well and had good hopes, but all of this was cut off. Their souls are controlled by evil magic, and they cannot return to the river of souls to seek peace. After that, I came to them, made a pact with them, and helped them escape the curse and regain their emotions and sanity. β
At this, Yulian paused. Offariel didn't speak, but looked at him quietly. She had indeed heard some stories about Judy and the others, so she was waiting for the explanation from You.
"But, you know, the contract is two-sided. They have given me enough trust and loyalty, and I have to give the same thing - when I conclude a contract with them, I will agree to two conditions from them. The first condition is that no matter how the situation changes in the future, we will not be able to live in friendship with the Church of Holy Grace. β
Hearing this, O'Fariel's eyes widened in surprise slightly, she naturally immediately remembered what happened in the twilight forest before, when Yulian and Charlotte and others had a rather unfriendly attitude towards the Holy Grace Church, she thought that it was just that she was worried that the other party was coming from the source, but she didn't know that there was such a relationship inside.
"Of course, this is not the most important thing, and the Holy Grace Church and I also don't like each other, after all, the two sides have different philosophies and different ways. The second condition is the most important. β
Saying this, Yu Lian paused slightly.
"I think you saw that rune, too...... In fact, the rune is a representative of a necromancer, and the second condition that I have agreed with them is that whenever and wherever we find anyone involved with this spell, then we must destroy them immediately. Even if there is a rune held by the king in the palace or in the main hall, we must immediately take action and kill them all, leaving no one alive! Even if it is a rune held by a country, we will completely destroy this country. That's my vow to them. They wouldn't allow anything related to the rune to exist in this world. This is not because of rigidity and stubbornness, but because of indelible hatred. β
"This ............"
O'Faryl was completely surprised and didn't know what to say.
"This vow...... It's so .........."
"Very unreasonable, and very domineering? Very selfish, very disregardful of the overall situation, angry, irrational?"
Yuren smiled bitterly, of course he understood Ofariel's thoughts. In fact, Yu Lian didn't want to expose the strength of his men so quickly, after all, the speculation about them within the West Kingdom was only limited to Yu Lian and the sisters, and the judgment of their strength was still biased. If he could, he wanted to stay hidden, and then wait for the right moment to strike the fatal blow.
But now, this plan is completely unworkable.
"I can understand your thoughts, Miss O'Faryl, and I understand what you're thinking. This oath is not only unreasonable, but also dangerous. But...... It is a must. β
As he spoke, Yulian lowered his head and reached out to stroke the smooth long hair of Messiah beside him.
"You don't know them, Miss O'Fariel. Indeed, Charlotte used to be very kind, but also very courageous and righteous female surnames. Their surnames are not tyrannical or evil. But when they are forced to be imprisoned in a dark space of death, they kill each other to achieve their ultimate death...... The depths of their souls have been polluted by an evil and darkness that we can never erase. Although it is only a little, this point can never be erased. β
β.................. Is this the only way to go?"
Ofaryl's expression was a little complicated, and she was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"All I can do is wait. β
As he spoke, Yuren shrugged his shoulders, then raised his head and looked ahead.
"They can only use this kind of killing to soothe that little bit in their hearts, and perhaps, until one day, this little bit of darkness in their hearts will be completely removed. The only thing I can hope for now is here......... Indeed, I admit it. This variable has brought more risks and troubles to my plans than expected, but I will not refuse to honor my contract with them because of this. β
Saying this, Yu Lian's face became resolute.
"Because I'm a knight, I don't break my word. I have never broken my promises, never before, and never will. That's all. Because I have the self-confidence, I am good enough to deal with any trouble that comes my way. β
At this moment, Ofariel could no longer speak.
Although she had always thought that this lord was a flamboyant person, this time, she had to agree with him from the bottom of her heart. He did say a lot of things, and each time it seemed like he was cheating on the other side from the end. But he did it every time. It was then that Ofaril realized that he finally understood why the lord rarely made definite decisions, and always said ambiguous and easily misunderstood things.
And at this moment, the slaughter on the other side has also come to an end.
Because of the haste of leaving, Chelton only brought a hundred guards from his cronies, and did not mobilize the large army of the Morbius family. Although he was confident enough to use these people to suppress any rebellious voices. But at the moment, these cronies are not of any use. Most of them were killed by the Spirit Warriors led by Judy, and some tried to escape, but they became the delicacies of the Red Dragons waiting by their side - although the guards brought by Chelton were not weak, it was still a difficult task for them to slay the dragons.
So, after just over ten minutes of slaughter, the only survivor was poor Mr. Chelton himself.
And Yulian watched as Judy dragged the unfortunate poor creature with one hand, walked in front of him, and gave himself a slight swordsman salute, and at the same time threw the pampered young master in front of Yulian with a flick of his hand. It seems that Charlotte's hateful attack is still very heavy, even if he is treated so inhumanely, that young master Chelton does not seem to be awake at all.
"There's not much time, so you can use whatever you want. β
Sensing the gaze of the geist warriors, Yulian just shrugged his shoulders and said lightly. Hearing this, Charlotte took half a step forward. At this time, she no longer had the indifferent and indifferent expression she had before, and the gentle and enthusiastic smile returned to her face. Obviously, Yuren was not wrong about these geisms. They just keep suppressing the dark side of their hearts, but that doesn't mean it's going to go away. If they can't vent like this, sooner or later their sanity will be consumed by hatred again, and they will turn back into monsters of hatred and thirst for blood.
Charlotte nodded to Julien and O'Faryl before crouching down and pulling out a small glass bottle from her bodyβmuch to O'Fariel's surprise, as she had long wondered how the head maid had managed to pack so many strange things in her tight-fitting uniform.
"Get out of the way, this thing is a bit dangerous. β
As she spoke, Charlotte opened the glass bottle, and then, with her right hand, reversed it, and poured out something from the bottle.
And after seeing the appearance of the thing clearly, Ofaril couldn't help but exclaim, and then reflexively covered his mouth.
It was a quirky creature.
It looked like a twisted and stretched palm, but at the finger level, five or six sticky tentacles slouched down, and the wet, translucent slime dripped from it, covering Chelton's face, reflecting the glow of the autumn sunset.
And after being poured out, the strange thing suddenly moved, and although it seemed to be slow and very sluggish, it was actually very agile. Its tentacles soon stretched out like a blooming flower, and then began to caress the nobleman's face, its movements were gentle, but not slow at all, and soon, as if the strange creature had figured out the other person's appearance, it withdrew its three tentacles, and then down Chelton's cheek, "caressing" his lips, and then, going inward.
Then, the strange creature's body began to arch, and the three tentacles did their part, slowly opening Chelton's mouth. This made the unconscious man feel a little uncomfortable, and he instinctively shook his head to break free. But it didn't work out. Because at the same time as his mouth opened, the three tentacles that were deep in it had already pulled back suddenly, and several hard barbs appeared on the originally smooth flesh wall, hooked into Chelton's mouth.
ββββοΌοΌοΌβ
This was undoubtedly a very painful thing, and Chelton's body immediately began to tremble, and he subconsciously reached out to do something. But this final struggle was utterly defeated by Judy's step forward - after a crisp crack of bone, the hand that Judy had trampled under his feet was completely twisted and deformed, completely unable to do the job he was supposed to do.
At the same time, the strange creature did not stop, and then everyone noticed that a crack suddenly opened in the inside of its body, and then the viscous liquid dripped out of it again and fell into Chelton's mouth.
By this moment, Offariel was already pale, and she reached out to cover her mouth, staring at the monster with trepidation. And Yulian and the twin sisters are looking at it with interest.
Soon, everyone saw a soft, slender hose poking out of the crack and burrowing into Chelton's mouth. As the hose entered, Chelton's struggle slowed down, and then stopped.
However, the monster got closer and closer, and then pressed its body tightly against Chelton's mouth, as if the poor Mr. Viscount was having a French kiss with a monster of unknown race.
Charlotte nodded, and then she gestured to Judy, who quickly backed away. Chelton, meanwhile, was already on his feet.
He just stood there dumbfounded, as if he had lost all his life, and his two round eyes were rolling, looking more like some kind of broken puppet model.
But the next moment, from the monster's body, there was a dull sound.
"Hello, my master, what do you want to know?"
