Chapter 60: Just Like That Became a Hero?
[Thank you always, Diao Min wants to harm me, Lan _ Zi's reward ~ Thank you Lan _ Zi for the evaluation vote ~ Anyway, did someone find that yesterday's chapter number was wrong and today is the real 60 chapter?]
No matter how incredible the captain of the guard felt, it just happened so strangely.
Obviously, judging from the color of the fighting spirit, the strength of the other party is not weaker than his own, and even in the current state of Peter III, who is injured in one arm and needs to protect a hindrance, it can be said that he is not the opponent of the other party at all, but in the end, even the captain of the guard himself can't believe it, he actually knocked the other party back.
The two-knife assassin, who had been knocked away by the captain of the guard with an unskilled one-handed sweep because of the sudden and unnecessary change of tactics in the attack, fell to the ground and took a few steps back to stand firmly, and as soon as he made a clean move, he cut down the two royal guards who were leaning towards him, and then rushed towards the carriage again.
Not far away, the petite magician who had been floating in mid-air to gather light spears to attack the guard archers also stopped his attack and threw the white light spear towards the carriage instead. The wound on the captain's left hand made it impossible for him to use his shield to resist the attack, so he had to bless his Dou Qi on his one-handed sword and release his Dou Qi Slash to meet the attack.
The speed of the two-knife assassin was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the carriage again, and the captain of the guard, who was busy resisting the light gun, took the time to slash at the double-knife assassin, but the opponent dodged it for a long time, and the assassin set up the double knife and rushed straight towards the captain of the guard.
It's over, it's really over this time.
The captain of the guard felt that he could not resist the attack of the two masters near and far away, and raised his sword with a certain feeling of death, hoping to at least force the close assassin back some distance so that Peter III had a chance to escape.
However, the other party didn't seem to even want to satisfy the last bit of the captain's willingness to pretend to be a hero, and the magician in the distance knocked his raised sword away with a light gun, and even the arm holding the sword with him was forced backwards, directly causing his side of the body to lean back.
Swish!
The accident happened again, just as the captain of the guard was leaning back by the force of the mage assassin's light gun attack, the attack of the double knife assassin slashed to the original position of his neck, as if he did not expect his teammate's attack to be so powerful, and the attack of the double knife assassin fell short again.
The captain of the guard, who had escaped death, saw that although the original intention of the two-knife assassin was full of murder, because he attacked too hard, he fell into a stiffness for a moment after the attack missed.
It's a common mistake made by rookies who are beginners in combat skills, this assassin with the same elite fighting spirit as himself is simply inexplicable to the captain of the guard, how did the other party cultivate his fighting spirit to the elite level?
Being able to become the captain of the guard, his sense of battle is naturally not weak, and when he saw the flaws of the other party, he reacted immediately, enduring the pain in his left arm, and the captain of the guard blessed his left hand with fighting spirit, and raised his hand with the maximum strength that he could exert in the injured state to give the double knife assassin a shield with his left hand.
"Drink!"
Although the other party blocked it with a temporary condensed douqi shield, he was still pushed up by the captain of the guard, and today he seemed to be lucky, as soon as he used the shield of the double-knife assassin to push it up, the light spear attack of the magician behind him at the moment flew over and hit the heart armor behind the double-knife assassin.
The Twin Blade Assassin was beaten to the point of vomiting blood because of the accidental injuries of his teammates, and the Magician Assassin was also a little stunned by this scene, and was actually targeted and shot in the back by several guard archers who had recovered their strength, and staggered away from the central street with the floating magic guide shoes, and fell down in a nearby alley and lost his trace.
"Come on, kill Peter III!"
The double-knife Assassin, who seemed to be heavily wounded, staggered out of the carriage and shouted to his companions, as this place was not far from the palace, more and more palace guards were flocking here, and the black-clad assassins had already shown their decline, and even so, they still did not seem to give up on the assassination.
"Save me, save me!"
Peter III was still holding the captain of the guard on his thighs, shouting with his eyes closed, and the captain of the guard had unconsciously regained his confidence after several inexplicable successes in retreating from the enemy just now.
Although I don't know what happened, I really won, and I saved Peter III with one enemy and two opponents, and I also fought back against my opponents.
The more the captain of the guard thought about it, the more he felt that he had never been in such a good state, the injury on his arm and the previous thing that the little wolf girl played with her wolf were all left behind by him, it can be said that he had a feeling of being blessed by the gods for the rest of his life.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, our guards will defend Your Majesty to the death!"
The captain of the guard, who had regained his self-confidence, said as he looked at the Assassins who were still making their final struggles, and Peter III slowly opened his eyes and looked around a little confused.
"Save me...... I'm alright?"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. ”
Peter III raised his eyes to the captain of the guard standing in front of him, and suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Big, big...... Master-level vindictive?"
After such a short period of time of up and down changes in his state of mind, the captain of the guard actually surpassed the boundary of the master-level fighting qi that was still some distance away at the desperate moment just now, and the fighting qi on his body directly changed from dark purple to light red.
"Whoever dares to assassinate His Majesty, die!"
The captain of the guard, who realized that his strength had been upgraded, was also excited, and after seeing all kinds of flattery in the palace for such a long time, he immediately thought that this was a good opportunity to show off in front of Peter III.
Originally, the escort was not good and could even be put on death row, but now he has the opportunity to become a hero who successfully protects His Majesty in the hands of a murderous assassin and leads the crowd to retreat from the enemy, the captain of the guard knows that this is not a joke, you must know that for Peter III, the faint king, the truth of the incident is far from his personal likes and dislikes, as long as he takes advantage of the good performance in front of Peter III, who has come to his senses, maybe it can really make Peter III forget his own ineffective defense at the beginning.
Thinking like this, the captain of the guard no longer cared about the injury on his left arm, but spread the pale red fighting spirit that had just been promoted all over his body, picked up the one-handed sword that had been knocked down before, and shouted the slogan of loyalty very contrivedly, while unleashing the fighting qi slash towards the assassins who were trying to rush towards the carriage under the carriage.
Although the captain of the guard did not know it yet, he did succeed.
Behind him, at least, in the eyes of Peter III, who was so frightened that he couldn't remember the whole thing, his captain of the guard was now a loyal and heroic hero.

"Who is it, who is it that stabbed me!"
At the Imperial Palace of the Prud Empire, Peter III, who was already freshly dressed, paced angrily back and forth on the sumptuous red carpet.
"It's unreasonable, those untouchables want my life, I want them all to live rather than die!"
At this time, Peter III, as if he had no memory of peeing his pants in the street a few hours ago, pointed to the palace door and cursed, trying to release his imperial dignity if they still existed.
"You! And you! Are you city defense generals all rice buckets! Not only was I late in being assassinated, but I couldn't even find out the origin of these assassins?!"
Several military attachés, who were obviously angered by Peter III, hung their heads and did not dare to raise their heads to touch Peter III's moldy head, so they had to keep silent.
"Don't you speak, they're all rice buckets! I give you a day, and if you can't find out, you're all fellow Assassins! Just wait for me to lock you up with the pigs!"
The faces of several military attachés changed, and when Peter III turned around and walked towards his seat in the center of the main hall, they raised their heads slightly and cast their eyes for help in two directions on either side of the court.
Some of the military attachés looked at Butler, the prime minister to the right of Peter III's throne, while others turned their pleading gaze to a young man who looked capable and sleek to the right of Butler, that is, to the left of his hand under the throne.
Prime Minister Butler squinted slightly, unable to see what he was thinking, but the young man on the other side took the lead.
"Ahem, Brother Wang, please don't be impatient. ”
The young man was Prince Hoss, the cousin of Peter III, and the most relied upon by Peter III in today's Prud court, apart from Prime Minister Butler.
Strange as it may seem, Peter III was famously a faint king, but there was only one thing that was comforting or puzzling, and that was his brotherly affection for his cousin Hoss.
Even if he can be regarded as the prime minister Butler of the three dynasties, Peter III is only forced to listen to the other party's opinions because of his prestige in the country and the seniority of the patriarch of the three dynasties, but he has always attached great importance to his cousin brother Peter III, and Prince Hoss also respects his royal brother very much, although everyone is recognized as much more virtuous than Peter III, but for this mediocre royal brother Hoss has always been openly and politely admonished, and secretly tried his best to assist in the aftermath of the royal brother's absurd deeds, but he has never given birth to the heart to replace him, which is also amazing。
"Hoss, you're too gentle with these fools. ”
For his cousin who has been playing since he was a child, the attitude of the faint king Peter III is better, but it is obviously impossible to ask him to revoke the unreasonable punishment of these military attachés, after all, this time Peter III was really frightened, and therefore made him more angry than the previous assassinations.
Hoss smiled at Peter III.
"Brother Wang, they do need to be responsible for this incident, and if they are all imprisoned now, it will take some time for the people who are promoted to adapt to the city defense patrol work, so it will give those remnants of the assassins a chance to escape at this time. ”
Peter III did not speak, and Hoss looked at his brother with obvious approval, but he still couldn't hang on to his face.
"Brother Wang, it is better to let them search the whereabouts of the assassins with all their might, and in order to prevent them from neglecting their duties, I will take and supervise them. ”
Peter III's face was a little better, and he still trusted Hoss very much.
However, just as the issue was coming to an end, Butler, who had been silent all along, spoke.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the mastermind of the assassination should be obvious. ”
