Chapter 44: A Heart That Refuses to Fall
How fast can the fastest swordsman be? {3w.
In Lori's opinion, Kalian should be the ultimate of an agile swordsman, and the speed at which the countess really burst out was even to the point where Leah couldn't see it.
And Yu Ji only took a blink of an eye to come to her, and then the evil god silently made a movement that she couldn't understand-the other party closed his eyes expressionlessly, and then slowly put it into the sheath that was not so much an artifact as a demon knife.
Leah was completely confused, why did the enemy come to her side and put away their weapons again?
Boom!
However, with the crisp sound of the demon knife as it entered the sheath, it was as if something hot was flowing in his chest.
"Leah-!!"
"Ah...... ......"
In Eve's desperate cries, Leah slowly lowered her head, and what caught her eye was a deep wound that could be seen to the bone, neatly cut from the left shoulder to the right side of the lower abdomen, and the blood was constantly flowing.
It was only then that she reacted.
[Original...... Have I been cut down?]
The murderous swordsmanship didn't even allow time to react, and the hot pain finally spread throughout her body at this time, and little Lori fell to the ground with a thud.
"You ...... Bastard - !!"
Seeing the scene in front of her, Karin gritted her teeth, and her voice revealed terrifying anger.
"Stop!
However, Date hugged her from behind and stopped her from rushing towards the evil god.
"Let go of me. Ida!"
The countess struggled hard.
"Please calm down, my lordship!! or we'll be all done!!"
However, the knight's roar woke her up. The countess stopped her movements and gently pushed the other away with her hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm losing my mind a bit. β
She whispered.
The fact that Lori was hurt made her completely forget that she was still a commander.
Calming down, she began to look at her current shape.
However, it can only be described as a catastrophe - they lost their biggest trump card, Leah, and then they lost the Great Sage, and although they don't know what happened, the current Great Sage is not enough to deal with the evil gods, and finally. What she didn't expect was that Eve was still fighting Yuhime, but she could only be on the defensive.
To put it simply. It's impossible to seal the evil gods, and now it's time to think about how to get out of here.
"Ida, I command you, take half of your troops to stop the evil god from pursuing. β
Karen shuddered. The order was given. Because it means that she has decided to sacrifice this part of the knights.
The huge difference in combat power between friend and foe makes it almost implied to delay time with death to stay and hold off.
But Karene understood. This is the right choice.
"Yes!"
Date understood, too, and he straightened up and gave his last knightly salute to his chief.
"Assemble your brothers, it's time to give your life for the Kingdom!!"
The knight roared.
"I'll join you too, Date!"
Alec rushed over and said.
"No, my friend, you have another task to do. β
Date shook her head.
"Protect Leah-sama and go back alive.
You are young and have unlimited potential. You don't deserve to die in a battle you have to lose. Stay alive and become a mainstay of the Randall Knights. Sue them our story, so that the spirit of chivalry will live on forever. β
He hugged Alec and said so.
"You ......"
Alec realized that most of the knights who stayed behind were people who could no longer advance in martial arts, or veterans who were about to retire.
The rest of the knights, along with him, were persuaded by the veterans.
"It is the privilege of my life to be your commander.
I promise you, you will not die in vain, and one day, Randall's knights will defeat the evil god and sacrifice you with her blood. β
Karen walked over, gathered the rest of the knights, saluted Ida, and spoke.
"Ah, take care, my dear sir. β
Date nodded, then turned and shouted:
"Loyalty-Faith-Glory-Courage-!!"
It was the knights' desperate cry, and then they raised their weapons and launched a final charge at the evil god.
Not only Randall, but also Alice of the Elven Race, or the mages of Mage City, all made the same decision almost at the same time.
They divided into two teams, one team began to retreat, and the other team launched a decisive attack.
"Huh?"
During the battle, Yuhime noticed the change, so she grasped the demon sword with both hands, and slashed horizontally into a crescent moon-like trace, forcing back Eve, who was fighting with her.
Ignoring the retreating goddess of creation, she disdainfully put the earth back into her sheath, and then confronted Date and the others with her bare hands.
"Lord Hanufain!"
And Karen took the opportunity to come to the side of the great sage.
At this time, Hanufain was holding little Lori in her arms and treating her injuries with water magic.
"Babafin, get us out of here!"
There was no time for superfluous conversations, and after the two of them looked at each other, Hanufain understood that the warriors who were attacking Yu Ji at all costs were buying them time to retreat.
Obeying the call of the Great Sage, the dragon flew over with its wings.
"Come up!"
Hanufain hugged Leah in her arms, and with a slight wave of her hand, everyone was lifted onto the dragon's back by a mysterious force.
Then, along with Eve, with the help of Barbaffin, everyone flew into the rift where they had come before, and quickly broke away from the battlefield.
Yuhime sensed the movements of the Great Sage and the others, but she didn't pursue them.
Even if these people in front of her were pierced through the chest with a hand knife, they had to use the last of their strength to drag her until they were torn to pieces by the impact of chaos.
"Then the legendary heroes, and the leaders to whom you are allegiant, have abandoned you and left.
Are you satisfied with the result?"
She leapt forward, pulled back some distance, and then looked at the daredevils in front of her and asked.
The language used by Rain Ji is the same as that of Lori.
No one has ever told Leah, in addition to being able to drive artifacts, the Divine Word is also a very charming language, and every living being in the Evette Continent will instinctively believe what the Divine Word says.
In fact, even the Great Druid fell lightly under the power of the Divine Word, and worshipped Yuhime as the goddess of life.
Now, Yuhime doesn't plan to chase after Hanufain's party, because she can't completely leave the world made of wind, and Sylph's power is starting to weaken, but it's not enough to set her free. What's more, on the way those people escaped, she had already arranged for a special Chimera to wait there.
So now, rather than caring about those who escaped, Yuhime sees it as a pastime to tempt these death-defying warriors to degenerate like Ivoi.
"Now, I give you brave warriors a choiceβobey me.
Just declare here that you will abandon Evette and worship me as your only goddess, and then you will be able to leave safely, and go back to see your family, and go back to enjoy the qiΔ that you deserve. β
Yu Ji did not directly threaten the lives of these people, the divine words penetrated into their hearts, awakening these people's longing for home and family affection, and then, this desire stimulated people's desire to survive more than the direct threat.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, as someone had already begun to waver.
At present, Leah and the others have "successfully" escaped in their eyes, lost the only purpose of dying generously, and have been awakened to the desire for family and affection, and some people's eyes began to flash with the desire to survive.
"Why, isn't that enough?
What do you want, money, power, then get down before me, and I will give you whatever you want. β
With the opportunity to live, ** began to grow, so Yu Ji began to promise more and all kinds of good things for these people.
The prophecy dissolved the vigilance, nourished the desire for survival, and the greed from the bottom of the heart, and gradually, some people dropped their weapons and began to bend their legs as if they could not exert their strength.
However, there were still some people standing, their bodies as straight as steel spears, glaring at her with the gaze of the trapped beast, all of them, including life.
"Hmph, what a greedy bunch, do you want more?, then tell me, don't worry, I'm much more generous than Evette. β
She looked at the leader Ida, and then asked.
"Glory!"
Date gritted her teeth and replied loudly.
"Huh?"
Yuhime frowned.
"If there's anything I'm longing for, it's to give the soft bones behind me a heart that won't fall, and the glory of giving my life for the sake of the Goddess!!
Put away your temptations!! evil god!! even death is better than waging your tail under your knees and begging for mercy a hundred times-!!"
Date pointed the halberd in his hand at Yuhime, and then said angrily.
The voice full of a sense of justice made those kneeling behind him almost embarrassed.
β......β
Yu Ji didn't speak, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly, and the power of chaos pierced the earth like a thorn, piercing all the poor insects that knelt.
Then, she drew her sword, and the cold light drew a dazzling circle in the air.
"Come, this is the glory I give you!"
Yu Ji clenched the hilt of the knife with both hands, and the demon knife pointed straight to the sky, she looked at the people in front of her who still refused to give in, and then announced loudly. (To be continued......)
