Chapter 19: The Battle in the Corridor

"My lord, wake up, there are bandits in the castle!"

“???” Gervais was woken up in his sleep, and he was a little blind, there are still bandits in this castle, is there any mountain bandit in the territory, his own big castle, there are more than ten guards, and he has already attacked the castle.

"Ike, what's going on, how many enemies are there?" Gervais, who had just woken up, did not dare to slack off, and immediately jumped up from the bed, did not care about wearing clothes, only wore a pair of shorts, and then directly took a pair of chain mail, and put leather armor on the outside, drew the long sword in the scabbard, opened the door and asked the guard.

This guard was one of the people his father had sent to him, so he didn't worry about fraud, because the castle had a limited number of people, and the ten guards were unreliable, so he could only let the three guards he brought take turns at the staircase on the third floor, and now it was Ike who was on duty, and the other two should rest on the first floor.

"My lord, I don't know the specifics! I heard someone downstairs shouting that there was a burglar in the castle, so I'm going to wake you up! Ike held his heavy sword in both hands and stared at the staircase, because the third floor was the floor where Gervais lived, so he specially lit candles on both sides of the stairway, although the light was still dim, but as long as someone came up, he could see it.

"Protect the adults, go up first to protect the adults, the thieves are on the second floor!" On the stairs at this moment, the other two guards and Thomas and others quickly ran towards the third floor, this shouting was Thomas, as a housekeeper, he knew that in the castle, only Gervais was the most important, no matter what the purpose of the thieves sneaking into the castle was, as long as Gervais was safe, anything could be said.

In fact, there is no need for Thomas to shout, the two guards are also battle-hardened old men, and they are also Gandalf's henchmen, so they naturally take Gervais very seriously.

"Thomas, I'm fine, how many thieves are there?" Gervais didn't know what the situation was, and he didn't hear the fighting, so he stood at the door of his room with Ike, and he naturally heard Thomas's shouts, and when Thomas and the others came to the third floor, he couldn't wait to walk over.

"My lord, strong ...... Johnny says there are three thieves! I sneaked in from the window at the top of the staircase, and when I came up, I found the second floor...... There are figures. Thomas is also disheveled, it is summer, everyone sleeps at night and takes off their clothes to sleep, Thomas grabbed a short shirt and put it on his body and ran out, heard Johnny's brief statement, and rushed to the third floor with two guards non-stop, at this moment I don't know if it was because he was running too fast, or too excited, and he was still a little panting when he spoke.

"Since there are only three of them, let's go down and see, what kind of people can sneak into the castle without noticing, and are the guards on the night vigil tonight all rubbish?" Gervais was a little annoyed, the castle was not safe, it meant that his safety was not guaranteed, and he couldn't help but not be angry.

……

It is said that the three of Benny quietly touched the second floor, and Benny, who was relieved that everything was going well, was also startled by the sudden shouts from downstairs.

When he heard the content of the shouting clearly, he knew that several of his people had been exposed, so he was no longer careful.

With his familiarity with the second floor, he ran quickly to the room where he usually lived, and came to the foot of the bed where the gold coins were hidden, and Benny quickly groped at the foot of the bed, and finally, he found a bag containing heavy gold coins.

Hanging the gold coin around his waist, Benny quickly fumbled for it, but the gold coin was easy to fum, but the envelope was never found. Benny was anxious.

"Captain, hurry up, someone is going upstairs!"

An anxious urging came from the door of the guest room.

Benny was still groping, but just like the laws on earth, the more he tried to find something, the more difficult it often became, and listening to the faint shouts in the corridors and outside the castle, Benny knew that he should run, and if he didn't run, he wouldn't have a chance.

Unable to look for the envelope anymore, he turned around and ran to the door of the guest room.

"Quick, let's go!"

The two men standing in the doorway were already anxious, the sword was already unsheathed and held in their hands, and the hands holding the long sword were trembling.

They had just seen three figures rushing upstairs, and it was estimated that they would come down in a few moments, and when they saw Benny turn around, their heartstrings relaxed slightly, and they didn't care about waiting for Benny, and immediately rushed to the staircase.

Seeing his two subordinates flee first, Benny hated in his heart, but there was no way to attack, the first priority now was to run out of the castle as soon as possible, as long as he escaped from the castle, there were only a few of the Baron's men, and it was basically impossible to catch himself.

But the three of them stayed too long, and after Gervais and his subordinates converged, he also knew that there were only three enemies, so he went to the second floor surrounded by everyone.

When I arrived at the staircase on the second floor, I saw three black shadows, rushing towards the stairs one after the other.

The first person standing on Gervais's side was Ike, because he had just been on duty at night, so he was much better than the other two guards in terms of clothing and mental state.

One of the other two guards didn't even have time to put on his leather armor, but just grabbed his weapon and rushed up, and no one expected that there would be danger in the castle.

The two gangs didn't know each other's situation, and in an unprepared situation, they collided together, Ike was worthy of being a veteran who had been on the battlefield many times, and his reaction was much faster than Benny's men, and when he saw the enemy appear within three steps of himself, a side slash was slashed at the man's neck, and the man couldn't even block with the sword in his hand, only to hear the scream of the man who was slashed by Ike's long sword, and fell directly to the ground, covering his neck on the ground and making a great sound.

"Rush over, if you don't rush, you'll die!" Seeing that one of his subordinates was cut down by the other party in just one face, Benny was horrified. But there is no way at the moment, if you don't rush out, it is definitely a dead end, while the other party's people are still blocked in the narrow third-floor corridor, there is still hope for rushing over quickly, otherwise when Gervais and the others walk to the corridor on the second floor, the space will be much more spacious, and the three of them will stop them together, then they will be difficult to fly even if they have wings.

The men who were still standing in front of him hesitated to step forward, and Benny rushed behind him, shoved him, and yelled at him.

The two sides made contact in an instant, after Icke slashed an enemy, he withdrew the long sword in his hand, Benny and his men had already rushed in front of him and shot at him together, because the two sides were too close, Benny's men couldn't do it with their swords, so they could only carry the sword and stab straight towards Ike's abdomen, but Benny, who was a little further back, had enough space to raise his sword, and at the same time as his hand stabbed the sword, he also slashed a sword at Ike's head.

"Be careful!"

Gervais and the remaining two guards were blocked behind by Ike, and they were in a hurry, but the corridor was not spacious, if the two people stood side by side, it was very likely that they would accidentally injure their own people by swinging their swords, and they did not have long weapons in their hands, so they could only let Ike alone resist the attack of Benny and the two.

Seeing the two attacking at the same time, Ike immediately dodged to the side and back, and at the same time, raised his sword again to block Benny's slash, only to hear a ding, the two swords collided together, flashing a spark of collision in the dim corridor.

Although Ike blocked Benny's slash, but Benny's direct stab stabbed Ike, and Ike, who was leaning sideways, only felt a chill in his abdomen, and at the same time, because of the hurried retreat, his center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell backwards.

"Grass!" Gervais was standing in third place behind Ike, although it was the first time he had seen this kind of battle, and his whole body trembled slightly, but the moment he saw Ike fall, Gervais's chest swelled with endless anger, dispelling the little fear in his heart.

Benny saw that Ike was blocking his slash, but in order to avoid the direct stab of his men, he also took a step back, just to make a gap, and rushed into the corridor without hesitation.

"Kill, go up and kill both of them!" Gwesieck fell to the ground, not knowing whether Ike was dead or alive, and at this moment his eyes showed a fierce light and shouted loudly.

In fact, there was no need for Gervais to order, the two guards also crossed Icke as soon as Ek fell to the ground, and chased after the two enemies, Gervais didn't care to check, he was holding a long sword in his hand at the moment, and he was also following behind, Thomas had no weapon in his hand, so he could only follow at the end.

Benny and the others fled into the corridor, but the pursuers behind them immediately came up and attacked them condescendingly, and the two of them could no longer attack Gervais's men at the same time because of the narrow corridor, so they could only fight and retreat, struggling to resist.

Benny was in a hurry, there were pursuers behind him, and there were eager footsteps in the corridor downstairs, it should be the manservant who opened the door of the inner fort, and the guards outside rushed in.

There were only two steps left from the window they had sneaked into, but the guard behind them was slashing them with a sword, extremely frantically slashing them, with the help of the height advantage to force them not to be distracted, there was any other movement, Benny glanced at the window with his peripheral vision, and then looked at his men, and found that his men were almost unable to resist, as if they also wanted to turn around, and had the idea of getting into the window first.

"Two people can only live one, and you don't blame me for being ruthless!" Benny suddenly felt ruthless in his heart, this situation can only allow one person to resist, and the other person has time to turn around and escape through the window, and the person in charge of resisting has only a dead end unless he surrenders.

Especially when the people on the first floor also rush up, they will be attacked on their backs, and it will be difficult for the two of them to fly with their wings.

Benny saw his subordinate raise his hand and raise his sword, and it collided with the sword that the guard had chopped in, and he no longer hesitated, and suddenly pushed his own man's back hard.

Benny's men and the pursuer were still holding their swords at the moment and did not retract them, and their men were pushed hard by Benny, and their center of gravity was unstable and they threw themselves directly into the man's arms, and the two fell to the ground together and rolled together.

It was Lauri who was brought to the ground by Benny's men, and Audrey, who was in line behind Lauri, saw Laurie and Benny's men rolling together, and the weapons of the two were also unarmed, and immediately kicked away the long sword that fell to the ground, and he didn't care about continuing to control the two people on the ground.

Because half of Benny's body had already gotten out of the window, Audrey stretched out his arm and slashed at Benny's half of his body without thinking. However, the distance was too far, and it just happened to be cut on Benny's belt, and it didn't hurt Benny.

Taking advantage of this gap, Benny had climbed out of the window.

Gervais, who was in the rear, saw that Audri had gone up, so he raised his long sword, preparing to kill the thief on the ground who had injured Ike first.

"My lord spares my life, I surrender! I give up! When Gervais was about to raise his sword and slash at the man, the people on the ground also reacted, raising their hands and shouting for mercy.

When Gervais heard the plea for mercy, he managed to suppress his anger, and only then did he restrain the half-cut sword, and the blade stopped a few centimeters from the man's head.

Because Gervais needs to be alive.
