"It's broken!" Edgar and Nikolai looked at each other and galloped over with the knights.

There was another dense burst of gunfire, smoke rose up, several knights were shot and fell from their horses, and it seemed that there were quite a few enemies hidden in the wheat field.

"I see those pups! Over there! Scarecrow nearby! Let's run in the direction of the smoke! ”

Major Nikolai Sergeyev unsheathed his saber and put the blade on his shoulder,

With his legs clamped around the horse's belly, the strong war horse smashed through the stalks and ears of winter wheat all the way, and rushed straight in the direction of the scarecrow in the distance, like a ship riding the wind and waves.

"Phew! Bang! "A few more shots rang out, Nikolai was shot in the right arm, the saber fell out of his hand, and the well-trained horse was undaunted and continued to accelerate according to the knight's orders.

"Stab this guy!"

Several Cathar soldiers, led by a non-commissioned officer, stabbed Nikolai with bayonets, and the horses stood up with their strong hind legs, crushing someone's bones with one hoof.

"Fuck you! It's painful to die! ”

Nikolai endured the sharp pain in his right arm, drew his pistol in his left hand, and fired a shot that burst the soldier's head at close range, splashing the slimy brain on his leg.

The war horse was stabbed in the abdomen with a bayonet continuously, the horse fell down screaming, Nikolai rolled on his side to avoid the bayonet, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the stomach of the non-commissioned officer, and then forcefully cut the belly horizontally, and the hot intestines flowed out,

The smell of blood mixed with the smell of half-digested food, and Nikolai vomited out his breakfast.

"That Valstad killed the chief! Don't let this guy escape! ”

Several soldiers surrounded him, either with bayonets or with swords drawn.

Nikolai wiped the vomit from his mouth, and he brushed away the blood-stained ears of wheat beside him, as fierce as a demon:

"Come on! Cultists, all together! The wrestling king of the steppe awaits you! ”

At this time the other cavalry also arrived, and they swept by like a gust of wind, and their wrists turned their weapons nimbly,

Everything came so fast that the Voodoo soldiers were trampled by iron hooves before they could reload their bullets, and their sharp sabers cut off their heads, instantly freeing Nikolai from the siege.

"You're hurt?" Edgar asked, looking down.

"I got a shot in the right arm, it's okay, I'm good at shooting left and right." Nico threw down his dagger in his left hand and snatched a bayonet from the corpse of his enemy.

"Did you see the children?"

"I saw it just now, I was tied up and kidnapped, be careful, there are still a lot of people hidden in this wheat field."

"Must find! The cultists must not be allowed to take away the children, they will be killed and sacrificed to the evil gods! ”

With eagerness, Edgar held a carbine in her left hand and a saber in her right hand, and she closed her eyes, trying to calm her beating heart and feel the breath of the neighborhood with her heart.

"Bastard thing! I still want to escape! "Edgar raised his hand and shot it,

"Oops!" There was a wail in the wheat field, and the sentry was killed, and then the crying of children was heard.

"Grandpa!"

However, the village chief was dead, and Nikolai cried out, "Lilith, is that you?" ”

"Can't delay! Rush up! Don't hurt the hostages! ”

The princess in uniform led the way, the knights followed, and the wounded Major Ivan ran with his sword in hand.

There were more than a dozen Cathar soldiers hiding in the winter wheat fields, crouching in the wheat fields, using the bound children as human bunkers.

This caused a lot of trouble for the cavalry of the Guards, and in order to protect the hostages, they could not trample on them, nor could they shoot rashly, but could only fight with cold weapons.

Several more knights were shot and fell from their horses, and once they took up the melee battle, the cathar soldiers were no match at all, and a dozen of them quickly evaporated, and Nikolai rescued more than twenty village children and protected them behind him.

The last soldier grabbed the hostage in his hand and held his pistol to the poor child's temple;

"Lay down your arms! Otherwise, I'll break this little cub's head! ”

"Calm down! I'm going to throw away my weapon now. ”

Edgar Midknight rolled over and dismounted, she threw down her saber, unloaded her tomahawk behind her back, untied her belt, and walked over with her hands raised:

"Lilith, is that you?"

The little girl nodded,

The village chief's youngest granddaughter cried like a tearful person, with a pair of white and tender little short legs trembling, and she didn't know whether she was scared or frozen, which was really heart-wrenching.

The soldier escorted the child back again and again, glancing from time to time to see if anyone had gone around to the side, "To ensure my life, I will take her away." ”

"The kid can go, you can die, bastard!" Edgar said in the ancient Valstad language.

"Woman, what kind of bird language do you speak?"

Before the soldier could figure out what was going on, his left eye was cold, and a poison-quenching dagger was plunged straight into his eye socket, destroying his brain instantly, blocking the nerve with the toxin, and the pistol dropped.

"Exactly! That's amazing! Nikolai whistled.

"I learned this trick from the Dark Templar Assassins." Edgar walked over and tried to cut the rope from the little girl's wrist:

"Don't move, Lilith...... Wait, what's the smell on your body? ”

"Big sister...... The man seemed to have stuffed something into my pocket. ”

Edgar's nerves tensed, she smelled the smell of gunpowder, and the soldier had just lit a grenade with an extended fuse just as he was dying, and now the fuse was gone.

"Boom!"

The orange flames and black smoke soared into the sky, and the girl was blown to pieces.

Edgar's cuirass and helmet blocked most of the shrapnel, but he was still badly wounded, his shoulders, arms, and thighs were impaled by shrapnel, and his internal organs were injured by the shock wave.

Blue blood soaked the fabric of the military uniform, and despite the severe pain all over her body, she still stood in place, her purple eyes desperately looking for the child's traces:

"Lilith! Where are you? ”

The knights were all frightened, and Nikolai rushed up and hugged her:

"Don't look for it, she's dead! The kid is dead! Blown to pieces! ”

"I'm sorry...... It's all my fault, if I had been faster......"

Edgar was dizzy and fell down, and Nikolai caught it with one hand; "I have to get you to the field hospital quickly, the shrapnel will be infected if you don't take it out."

Edgar looked up at the sky, his ears buzzing,

Now, physically and mentally exhausted, she no longer looks forward to war as she did when she was a child, and for the first time in many years, she has begun to yearn for a peaceful and stable life.

"Nikolai...... I sent the children back to the village to find their parents, and the orphans were sent to my husband, and we sponsored an orphanage......"

"Oh my God! You're still worried about yourself! You are the Emperor's golden leaf! It's not worth it to save a little girl who has never known her life! ”

"No...... You don't understand ......" Edgar looked at the sky, then smiled at Nikolai:

"Salmon traveled thousands of miles up the river, and after laying eggs, they turned their bellies and died.

This is the natural instinct of animals, children are the future, and it is our duty to protect them. ”

After saying this, she closed her eyes and fell asleep sweetly.
