Chapter 69: Can't Kill
"Why do I dare to conclude that you don't dare to kill me? Quite simply, Count, do you feel that the undead Arthras is not at all the same as the former heir to the first line of Sauron's throne? It's not surprising, you must know that Artelas, who died overnight, is no longer the elegant and decent knightly aristocrat he used to be, and he will definitely not confront you at this time, he will only choose to eat away at your power a little bit and increase his power, so you can't let this situation continue, before Arthras is destroyed, how dare you kill me with all your might? Second, the position of the number one giant in the wasteland that you have finally snatched after 10 years of dormancy must not be as glamorous and comfortable as it seems, not to mention that Stuart, who gives you a headache, only shouted and couldn't help, just say that you take it for granted that Young Master Louis, the little lion who will be at your mercy, may have also caused you a lot of trouble, I heard a few days ago that Master Louis had already let Francis get out of Sauron Castle? You see, the young man is so impatient, how can he forget in such a short time that his castle of Sauron was completely brought down by you, Count Francis, oh, I am so sorry for you.

"So you don't even dare to leave the castle now, because you know very well that once you leave Sauron Castle, then Young Master Louis in the north of Sauron and Arthras in the south will soon divide up Sauron's territory, and then you will grovel for more than 10 years, and finally you will succeed in subverting the Sauron family, but you will not gain any benefits at all, is that acceptable?"
"Of course, none of this matters, whether I, Arthras, or even Louis, are all children in your eyes, and whoever you want to eradicate is just a sequence of time, but don't forget, Christopher is still watching from the sidelines, Francis, on the surface, it seems that you, who single-handedly subverted the Sauron family, have won a beautiful victory, but in fact, I am afraid that only you know best, so you buried Alfred at all costs in this situation, what kind of ending you are about to usher in, I guess you have not thought about itOh yes, you can't expect Stuart, you have to be clear, what you can give Stuart, Christopher can give too, even more than you give. ”
"Where there are allies, where there is friendship, everything is based on the premise of interests and exchanges. ”
......
The atmosphere in Sauron's Square was still sharp, and the spear and sword were still only a finger's distance from Augustus's heart, but Augustus had completely relaxed.
He stared at Francis, who had not put down the narrow sword on the opposite side, and also looked around at the group of black crushed knights who were vigilant, and his expression inadvertently overflowed with emotions called mockery.
Francis, who was riding on the horse, had a particularly complicated expression, he looked at the madman in front of him, and sighed: "I can't believe you're just a 17-year-old child." Augustus, I will not deny everything you have said, and I sincerely thank you for analyzing the situation in front of Francis so thoroughly, and in the same way, I cannot deny that if you stay in your castle, even if you kill my only heir, I will not dare to take revenge on you easily, but the last mistake you should have committed is your pride, since your foolish pride sent you to Sauron to me, what reason should I not dare to kill you?"
Augustus, who had a relaxed expression, suddenly frowned.
He seemed tired of repeating this nonsense to Francis after the showdown, and he casually pushed away a spear that had accidentally touched his coat because a knight was nervous, and said impatiently: "Can you not always focus on your only heir?Francis, didn't you force me to kill your heir?If not, why did you want him to go to Alfred Castle to attack himself?" I'm not stupid, I know your thoughts, you just want to see if Alfred is a sheep or a lion at the helm of the Knights Cathar, and I can conclude without doubt that if I don't kill your heir, you will think that the lions of the Knights Cathar are just under the command of a sheep, so how much fighting power does a group of lions under the command of a sheep have? On the other hand, if I act like a lion, then you will be more wary and keep a certain distance from Alfred temporarily, right?"
This world is so crazy, taking a step back may not necessarily open the sky, and further it is likely to face the sea.
I don't know whether I was surprised by Augustus's absurd inference or surprised by Augustus's crazy theory, Francis, who was on a horse, didn't speak again.
And what was very consistent with his expression was that he probably didn't even notice that his narrow sword drooped slightly unconsciously.
The corners of Augustus' lips lifted slightly, outlining a mean arc, and he knew that it was time for him to put the last straw on the camel.
He narrowed his eyes suddenly, showing a hideous smile, he never raised the big sword abruptly, just when Francis frowned gloomily, and the knights around him subconsciously clenched their spears and swords and made a dull sound of armor rubbing, Augustus slashed down with a sword, neither thick nor wide, but sharp enough, and the narrow sword in front of him was simply cut in two.
The sound of the narrow sword striking the bluestone floor was exceptionally crisp.
Facing Francis, who was angry again with cruelty in his long and narrow eyes, Augustus said fiercely: "If all my inferences, and all the reasons given to you that you dare not kill me, then Francis, I can tell you very clearly, since I have come, you cannot kill me." ”
......
It also seems to confirm Augustus's words.
Suddenly there was a loud and rapid sound of horses' hooves from the opposite direction of the square of Sauron Castle, and as the horse's hooves tread more and more clearly, a knight in silver armor soon appeared at the edge of the square, he jumped off his horse outside the knights surrounding Augustus and others, and motioned to the knight to give him a way, and he quickly rushed to the war horse of Count Francis, and said in a trembling voice: " A knight order of at least 400 people suddenly appeared outside the city wall, with two flags, one was a purple iris, and the other should be the cross flag of the Knights of the Cathar who had been active in Christopher's territory a few days ago. ”
Francis suddenly turned his head, he squinted his eyes and said coldly without throwing down the half of the narrow sword in his hand: "That's why I can't kill you?" Little Augustus, you seem to have forgotten the most significant feature of Sauron City, not to mention 400 Knights Cathars, even if 4,000 Knights Cathars come together, it will be enough for me to cut off your head before they can attack Sauron City!"
The reason why Sauron City is the rear of the wasteland retreat every year is because it is the closest to the Alps and the farthest from the northern lich, and the other is that its strong and vast walls are strong enough to resist the attack of the lich, so it is difficult for 400 knights who are not good at siege warfare to attack Sauron.
Augustus, who was also aware of this, did not answer Francis's question head-on.
He sneered without warning, then turned around suddenly with the big sword, he looked around at the spear that was only a finger away from him, and twisted his body in such a small space, and then, the sound of the spear and the big sword colliding sounded very rhythmically and crisply, and there was also the sound of the spear head falling to the ground and hitting the bluestone floor.
The perfect combination of speed and power.
Being able to control the power to cut off all the heads of the 10 or so spears around them in a very short period of time is not just enough power to do it.
The frightened knights huddled together, and the Count Francis, who was on horseback, became more and more gloomy.
Augustus slowly withdrew the big sword in his hand, his right hand was pressed to his chest, and he said seriously: "Believe me, Count, I will not wait for my knights to arrive, I will appear at the gate of the city to fight side by side with them." ”
