Chapter 128: Metenheim Death Swordsman
The owner of a large-scale estate of several thousand acres must be at least a powerful baron - or even an earl.
The Red Brotherhood of the Lion Realm should not be rampant enough to dare to openly occupy a large-scale territory, right?
The Red Brotherhood is an underworld that survives on the dark side of the city, and usually only engages in some illegal transactions, or does some murderous business.
On weekdays, the various 'big brothers' also fight fiercely with each other, and it is difficult to be integrated, and they usually do not have the ability to break through such a large manor.
Especially in the vicinity of Changhe Town, due to the existence of the Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment, the Red Brotherhood is almost extinct, how can it gather in broad daylight in such a large manor?
It's not a town either......
At present, there are only a dozen or so people from the personal guards around the lord, and of course he will not easily get into danger, so he asked Klose to go in and see what was going on.
But Klose had just walked to the door and looked at it a few times, and before he could get in, a throwing axe was thrown from behind the low wall on the other side!
Moreover, this throwing axe seems to be aimed at Leon.
The attack was so sudden that Leon didn't even have time to react - he was watching Klose's side, and the low wall was in front of him, and the axe's trajectory was just blocked by Amy on his side.
Thankfully, Amy reacted quickly, she saw the axe, and blocked it with a sword - but her strength was really not good, and although she barely managed to block the axe, the sword was also knocked to the ground.
"Amy, hide!"
The lord rode out on his horse and was about to return fire, but Alice jumped directly over the low wall, which was just over a meter high, and then heard Klose shout: "They are pirates!" ”
In fact, Leon has seen it too.
A couple of guys with horned helmets were running towards the big mansion in the center of the manor.
This dressed lord is very familiar—exactly like the pirates he encountered since he came out of Mist Cage City!
How did these pirates come to this inland region?
It's a pirate and a brotherhood, it's obviously a den of bandits!
Since you have met a den of bandits, you must have to kill it......
"Brothers, charge! Don't hack them all to death, leave them alive to ask! ”
This time, the lord is not going to grind.
He had learned how well these pirates could fight on land, and a dozen or so hungry naked Metenheim could take twenty pirates as chickens.
Now that the Great Swordsmen are well fed and fully armed, it is estimated that hacking hundreds of pirates to death is not a problem at all, and the lord is not even interested in participating in the battle, so he drove his horse back to Amy's side.
Amy had already retrieved her noble sword, rubbing her wrists and looking at him.
"I really didn't expect you to have this hand, who is better swordsmanship, you or Sarah?"
Leon was a little impressed with Amy, the little apprentice was calm in the face of the enemy, and the sword was accurate.
"Pretty much...... Teacher, aren't you worried about the battle inside? ”
Amy was not nervous at all, and after seeing two large-scale battles, she was no longer afraid of the battlefield, and she was surprisingly quick to adapt.
"These pirates are not a cause for concern, there is no need to worry about ......"
But as soon as he said this, he heard someone in the manor shouting: "Where are you bastards!" How dare you go wild here! Know who I am? Give it to me! Kill them! ”
Li Ang was stunned, this voice is so familiar!
This duck has a ...... voice
I'm going to go like that, it's like Forscher's voice, huh?
The illegitimate son of Duke Alma!
Leon felt like he might have made a mistake......
This place may indeed be a stronghold of the Red Brotherhood, but it's normal for the Red Brotherhood to gather here - this manor is probably Forcher's!
Small kiosk app
As an investor in the Red Brotherhood, there will naturally be a Red Brotherhood mark on the doorstep, so as not to find the wrong place for the 'brothers'.
Perhaps this manor was the place where Forscher's father, Alma, had made sure that he could not get a certificate of development for his illegitimate son.
It turns out that these people are the invaders......
But who told the pirate to throw an axe as soon as they met?
Could it be that the pirate has an enmity with himself?
Leon hurried in.
When they entered the manor, the two sides were already in full swing.
There were more than thirty pirates in the manor, and there were more than thirty men in black, all of whom were dressed in familiar clothes to the lord.
These pirates are clearly the same gang that Anson kidnapped, presumably the majority of the pirates who Anson said were not in the lair. These guys attack people in exactly the same way as the pirates in that lair......
Those black-clothed men were also dressed similarly to the people in Lion City who had hunted down Leon Ang, and even the appearance of throwing knives was similar.
These two groups were besieging the great swordsmen led by Klose, but although they were numerous, they couldn't stop the men—the heavy armor of the Metenheim was so thick that the throwing knives and axes couldn't even break through the armor.
However, there are still a few tin can-like guys in the manor, who seem to be rogue knights, presumably the leaders of those men in black.
They have some combat effectiveness, and the great swordsmen are guarding against these few people, otherwise they would probably have been able to chase the others everywhere a long time ago.
Forcher was indeed standing outside the mansion in the center of the manor, with an axe in his hand.
But this time he didn't rush forward, but said something to one of the bodyguards next to him.
It was a tall bodyguard, no smaller than Klose, who also seemed to carry a two-handed broadsword, and a steel helmet on his head that covered the top half of his face.
"Hurry up! Kill them! Are you scared, bastard? ”
Forcher was suddenly raised in voice and seemed a little angry.
Once again, the lord heard Forschel say this......
This time, he also said it to the bodyguards beside him.
But the tall bodyguard didn't fight, he kept looking at the great swordsmen, and turned to Forcher to say something.
Then Forscher was furious: "Old fellow! I paid to hire you! And I'm a child of prophecy! You actually disobey orders? What happened to the fellow villagers? You can't fight fellow countrymen?! ”
Looks like that bodyguard is also from Metenheim......
Leon remembered the words of Andrew, the fat boss of the Fog Cage City Arena: "The Great Swordsman he hired before was injured in the last game, and I must also change the members of his formation, otherwise it will be too fake......"
This is the bodyguard in front of you, right?
The lord shook his head and stepped forward and shouted, "Stop! Stop the opposite! Your Excellency Forschel, don't come unharmed? ”
Forcher immediately noticed Leon and frowned: "It's you......"
This guy seems to remember Leon.
But instead of being as impulsive as he was on the field, he glanced sideways at Leon's flag.
"You are now Your Excellency the Baron...... Everyone, stop! Looks like this was a misunderstanding......"
This guy's gloomy face suddenly turned sunny, and he even smiled a little.
This thing doesn't look stupid, it's just that it doesn't know how to fight at all, right?
Forscher's previous performance on the field was a bit of a big contrast with the current one, and he couldn't fix the lord for a while.
The leaders on both sides said to stop, so naturally this fight could not be fought, and both sides retreated to their own bosses.
And Klose also saw the Metenheim people on the other side.
"That's your countryman, right? It seems that he is not young, do you know him? ”
Lord Lord's asked.
Klose whispered, "His helmet covers his eyes, I don't recognize it." But at his age, since he is still on the battlefield, then he must be a swordsman of the dead! ”
Swordsman of the Dead?
The lord took a closer look at the bodyguard.
He had a thick beard on his lips, and he seemed to be combed in half, and he looked like he was in his fifties, and he was wearing a yellow and black striped Imperial cuirass with a cape - this was not Metenheim plate armor, but a half-length armor of the Bacchus Empire.
It's just that the yellow and black stripes are indeed the flag of Meettenheim.
This guy ...... It can't be Frederic, right?
The lord remembered the appearance of a partner in the game, who seemed to be two big beards?
But this old guy actually messed with Forscher, isn't that too bad......
Seeing that the lord was looking at the Metenheim people opposite, Crozier added: "Your Excellency, we have sworn allegiance to you, and no matter who the other party is, we will fight for you." ”
Probably worried that the lord would think about it, Klose was showing his loyalty.
There are many Mertenheim who serve as mercenaries on the Pander continent, and sometimes they do meet on the battlefield, and it is not uncommon for people who know each other to belong to each other on the battlefield.
When this happens, they have to consult with their employers to see if they can avoid going to war.
But if the employer doesn't agree, then you still have to fight - as mercenaries, the people of Mettenheim must keep their word, and it is shameful to turn their backs on their employers, so they can only try not to fight their fellow villagers.
However, Klose and the others have officially allegiance to Leon, and they will strike no matter who the enemy is.
But the lord was not thinking about whether or not their fellow villagers would kill each other, but about another matter—how to get the Metenheim people on the other side......
"Lord Forschel, is this your manor? I think you should know that your men can easily misunderstand - and unfortunately, it's my responsibility to help Lord Godric clean up the law and order around Long River! ”
Leon stretched out his finger and pointed at the gang around Forcher who knew at a glance that they were not decent people.
Still smiling, Forcher pursed his lips: "This is not the jurisdiction of Changhe Town, Lord Baron, this is a private domain...... If you trespass on private territory, I'm afraid this matter is not called a law and order purge......"
The lord grimaced, took his griffin banner from Summer's hand and raised it: "It's the first time I've seen a commoner dare to talk to a nobleman like this...... You don't even have a surname, a commoner, you have a fart territory! Are these properties taxed? ”
The smile on Forcher's face vanished: "I remember your name is Leon, right?" How dare a pioneer baron be so arrogant? This is the domain of the Duke of Alma! You entered the dukedom without permission, and you killed the duke's attendants, waiting to be wanted! ”
Lord Lord frowned and expressed his disdain for this verbal slander: "When did I kill the duke's attendant?" How did I not know? ”
Forcher grinned, and slashed an axe into the neck of a pirate who had been badly wounded by the Great Swordsmen.
The pirate collapsed at the call, a deep groove of blood cut into his neck, and he must not have survived.
"Now you know? Surround them! ”
Hiss......
This guy seems to be really an underworld boss - he seems to be very skilled in doing this kind of porcelain climbing and the like!
's lame performance in the arena is probably just because he is usually arrogant, and he is really not good at fighting, plus he knows that someone is protecting him and does not restrain himself......
However, the lord was not frightened, but said to the pirates, "Your people were killed like this, and you just watched like that? ”
None of the pirates spoke, but Forcher smiled suspiciously: "This kind of wound would have died, do you think my people are stupid?" Let's go together! Get him! ”
Then Forcher began to retreat quickly.
Lord Lords sighed.
He also knew that Forscher's previous call for a halt was actually to make his people surround him.
But he didn't care, after all, these pirates and gangsters couldn't stop Alice, who was now wearing horse armor.
Forcher does have a good ability to deal with underworld affairs, but his weaknesses are also obvious - he is not good at combat, does not understand real warfare, and does not understand how strong a heavily armed and skilled heavy armored army is!
Gangsters always like to pile up numbers...... He also always likes to surround his opponent with more people.
They did now surround twelve of them with seventy men.
But the problem is that neither the Metenheim nor Leon care about being surrounded by such lightly armed bandits or even unarmored thugs......
It will save them from running around and throwing axes!
"Then kill them!"
The lord rode Alice to easily break through the encirclement of the Red Brotherhood, and the power that erupted when Alice charged was simply not something that these unarmored men in black could stop.
Leon then rushed straight towards Forcher.
Forcher was retreating, and seeing the lord rushing over so easily, he was obviously a little flustered, and shouted with his hands dancing: "Up! Old fellow, you have to protect me! ”
The Metenheim man did strike, and he took off his great sword from his back and faced Leon.
But the lord did not intend to deal with him, and rode his horse to go around and deal directly with the weak chicken of Forscher.
However, just as he passed by the Nametenheim, the greatsword struck.
The Metenheim used a turnaround jump and a one-handed slash, a rare practice on the battlefield, and this kind of unreserved sword stance is usually only seen in sword performances.
But the long dueling sword jumped with this turn, covering a distance of more than two meters on his side, and the blade went straight to Li Ang's chest.
The power of this sword didn't seem to be strong, but there was an acceleration of turning, which made the speed of the sword blade terrifyingly fast - Li Ang didn't even hear the sound of the sword wind, and the sword blade was already in front of him!
Fortunately, the long sword in the lord's hand was originally erected on his chest, and the two swords intersected, making a gentle 'grid' sound.
After only a slight touch, the Metenheim's dueling sword was retracted by the force of the block, and then swept sideways again from the opposite direction.
This is another horizontal slash after turning in the opposite direction.
Li Ang directly put a Su Qin back sword on horseback, and blocked it again, this time without giving the opponent a chance to borrow strength.
But the Mettenheim man stepped forward directly, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed down the blade of Leon's sword, and the pace was amazingly fast.
This is going to cut off the hand, if Leon dares to let go, he will cut the horse!
Leon kicked his legs directly, Alice took a step forward, and Leon also took advantage of the horse's forward leap to fly down, half-turned in the air, and shook off the sword with the strength of his waist and abdomen.
Then a big stride came in front of the Metenheim.
Leon's sword was much shorter than the dueling sword of the Mettenheim, and he could only be beaten passively on his horse, and he could only fight back when he was close to him.
And the lord didn't want to give the opponent too many chances, he even stuck to a distance of less than half a meter, and the sword in his hand was not stabbed, but cut - a long sword of one meter is not suitable for this distance, it can only be cut.
But with this kind of close-fitting play, the opponent's one-meter-seven two-handed duel sword can't be used at all, and it can't be blocked.
The Metenheim man did not retreat, he knew that if he retreated, he would be cut into a thorn by Leon, and the damage would be even greater.
So he fit into his body and slammed it directly with his shoulder, apparently trying to knock the lord away.
Seeing this situation, Li Ang also collided with each other, but the two did not retreat from each other, and it turned into a real hand-to-hand combat, and the armor was squeezed out of the sound of 'squeaking'.
Unable to use their swords, their opponent freed up one hand and began to swing his fist, as if intending to grab Leon's armor.
But the Lord was clearly better at fighting in this state - he kicked his opponent's calf on the cheekbone, then dodged and swung his sword lightly.
The opponent's upper body was already pressing forward, and his calf was kicked again, losing his balance and stumbling.
Although he held steady and did not fall, a sword after Leon dodged was already on his shoulder.
The winner is decided.
"Good skills...... I am Frederick of Metenheim, and since I lost in a one-on-one situation, I will leave it to your Excellency. ”
The Metenheim man dropped his dueling sword and threw his hands out to admit defeat.
Sure enough, it was Frederick!
"Fredery, you quit the battlefield yourself. Your fellow countrymen are my guards, and I won't hurt you. ”
The lord withdrew his sword and turned to look for Forschel.
I didn't see anyone......
"He's in the building, there are still a few people in the building, be careful not to get ambushed......"
Fredéry was talking behind him, with a sense of relief after admitting defeat, and there seemed to be some schadenfreude, and he was probably a little dissatisfied with that Foscher.
"Thank you!"
The lord ran straight towards the house.
It was a two-story white-lacquered wooden building, covering an area of about one acre, and the appearance of a standard manor villa.
But as soon as Leon ran to the door, he saw someone holding a long pole with a black hole, and it seemed that there was still a spark burning?
The lord's hair stood on end, and he turned around and pounced on the wall, in the posture of a dog gnawing mud.
Although it looked embarrassed, it was well avoided.
At the same time that Li Ang pounced on the root of the wall, a loud voice sounded inside the door: "Boom! ”
Smoke wafted out of the door.
That's an arquebus!
