Chapter 120: Who Can Live (Part II)
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Kill him!"
The fireplace in the castle hall was still burning, and at the moment when Kolbo's words fell, four Turin swordsmen with long swords in both hands had already pounced, and the first target was Ludwig standing behind Edward - in their eyes, Edward was already a dead man, so of course they had to deal with this obstructive squire first!
The panicked Ludwig had just pulled out his sword and was directly shot down by the other party, and the face of the swordsman who rushed to the front immediately showed a bit of hideousness, like a cat playing with a mouse, raising the blade of the sword, ready to stab this stupid squire in the heart, but saw that the squire in front of him showed the same expression as himself, and even a little banter......
The snake-like Hidden Blade stabbed directly into the swordsman's cheek, a sword shadow swept down from his side, Ludwig directly snatched the swordsman's weapon, and the sharp two-handed sword directly pierced the opponent's armor, and then kicked the swordsman's body violently to the enemy who rushed in the other direction, and the left hand suddenly clenched, like a fierce beast, the fourth guy was directly thrown to the ground, and the two Hidden Blades stabbed directly into his eyes, ending the other party's life in a terrible scream.
After that, there was a brief dead silence...... Standing up elegantly, directly ignoring the pair of frightened eyes around him, Ludwig did not forget to bow slightly to Edward, and gently wiped the blood from his face: "Sorry, Lord Edward, the way down is not very elegant, it is really unsightly." ”
"Then step back - the Witwood family has no rules for their subordinates to protect. A soft smile appeared on Edward's face, and he slowly pulled out the bright star on his waist, and the gray blade trembled slightly: "There are archers upstairs." Don't let them disturb this wonderful show. ”
"It's a great honor. "Finished. The smiling Brotherhood Assassin had already rushed to the stairs opposite. Like a black afterimage, it suddenly flew out.
"Stop him!" At this time, the two nobles hiding behind the crowd screamed and shouted, and their voices were like roosters: "Stop this pariah, don't let him go up!"
The swordsmen, who had reacted from the momentary shock, remembered what they should have done, and the blades in their hands were raised, but Ludwig did not even look back, because Edward Witwood behind him had already moved!
At the moment when the blade of the sword was raised, only a slight afterimage of the gray blade remained. The gushing blood smeared Edward's body with a scarlet streak, and the trail of blood streaked through the air in a circle, along with the sudden shout.
"The stage is ready, the curtain is rising, and the music is playing - what are you waiting for?" Stepping on the corpse under his feet, Edward shook a sword flower slightly, his eyes swept from the surrounding crowd one by one, and the corners of his mouth turned up with an impatient smile: "Hurry up and let the dance begin!"
"Kill him, tear his ridiculous face to shreds!" Seeing the fearful looks of his men, Kolbo roared angrily, "Kill this arrogant pariah." And his clown-like squire - I'll give him two thousand silver coins for the first one, do it!"
At the moment when the voice shouted. The originally frightened eyes immediately became full of greed, and they roared loudly and desperately, and one after another they rushed towards Edward, raising the blades and arrows in their hands with an expression of excitement and urgency!
"Die, bastard—!" The swordsman couldn't help but draw his sword and stab it straight into Edward's face, and the sarcastic smile on the black-haired knight's face made him even more angry, and he wanted to tear the hateful face at once.
He was greeted by a sword that could not even be seen clearly - with a single click, Edward's figure had already staggered from where his sword had stabbed it, and the gray star also followed the moving figure, and gently swung forward without dragging the mud and water, tearing a bloody hole in the swordsman's abdomen!
But at this moment, the blood could no longer terrify these crazy hyenas, and the pair of scarlet eyes seemed to see bones, and greedily rushed towards Edward's lonely figure.
The black-haired knight in the big hat did not stop, the gray bright star kept alternating positions back and forth between his hands, and with a slight shake, he stabbed the enemy in front of him, but the figure did not stop there, grabbed the hilt of the sword and suddenly turned around, and pressed a palm directly on the face of the young man who rushed behind him, and the sound of the machine sounded softly, and the sharp hidden blade pierced his jaw!
The young swordsman who rushed up just now was weak, and his body collapsed to the ground as if he had been drained of his strength, and Edward, who grabbed the opponent's weapon casually, threw it straight out, and his right hand suddenly let go, and the swordsman who was pierced through the chest crashed straight into the body of another person behind him, and saw the black-haired knight suddenly grab the hilt of the sword with his backhand and stab it fiercely!
The flowing movements, the screams and wails of the plain, the falling figures one after another, the flying blood and the long sword that could not be seen...... Even with so many elite swordsmen in the castle hall, Kolbo found that he didn't have the slightest sense of security, as if these two pariahs who should have been killed a long time ago would take his noble life at any time!
Even the right hand holding the sword trembled slightly, as if he could feel the indescribable fear, trembling unnaturally from head to toe......
"Bang-!!!"
A hammer-like roar sounded, and the closed door was kicked open from the outside, and before the hall could react, the scarred Knights of the Sacred Tree had already closed the door again, and gathered around Edward.
"I'm sorry, Lord Edward Witwood, we're late. One of the Sacred Tree Knights at the front had a smile on his face, even though his cheek was almost torn apart from the wound: "A little trouble. ”
"It's okay, the prom has just begun. Edward also curled the corners of his mouth and shook his sword flower teasingly: "At most, you can step on a little bit." ”
As he spoke, Edward knocked the flying arrow to the ground, and immediately a shrill scream came from the corridor of the staircase opposite, and the crossbowman who had just shot an arrow was immediately wiped by Ludwig's neck - the shadow Brotherhood assassin hunted around like a hound, and the screams were his favorite notes.
Silent, Salald slowly walked up to Edward and placed Angela on the ground with the Tree Knight on his back - the old Tree Knight was covered in blood, and he carried his shield behind him to keep the little maid from being hurt, and even stood still, his shoulders twitching unnaturally.
Edward solemnly took the little maid from his arms, her petite body unexpectedly light—she was a few years older, but she still felt the same age as when she saw her.
"Angela is amazing, isn't she?" The pale little maid opened her eyes with difficulty, her voice was soft as if she was muttering to herself, and kept rubbing her little head against Edward's cheek: "Angela saved them......"
The little maid had a small smug smile on her lips, pouting childishly, and a little anticipation under her heavy eyelids, waiting eagerly for Edward to compliment her smile.
"Andella, of course, is the most powerful, unique in the world - it was, and still is. Edward smiled and patted her little head, and watched the little maid smile contentedly, slowly falling asleep in her arms, quiet as if she were a real mouse, and could no longer see the slightest breath of the "evil witch".
There was a constant sound of slamming the door outside the gate, and although the Knights of the Sacred Tree locked it with their scabbards and shields, it didn't last long, maybe a quarter of an hour, or a quarter of an hour, and the door would have been knocked open by someone outside.
"Looks like we're running out of time, gentlemen of the Knights of the Sacred Tree. Edward slowly raised the star in his hand, "Then let's fight quickly—before the people from outside rush in, let these rebellious bastards get their fair end." ”
"Kill them all!" (To be continued.) )
