Chapter 11: Assault

85_85536 A little, a little--no, if it is "slightly", I'm afraid it's a little incorrect. The surprise of the centaur Marseille is indeed more than the "slightly" Cheng dù. Originally, his idea was turned out to be wrong, that is, that is, the thing was just, it was......

"It's interesting, it's so interesting—I didn't expect there to be someone like you in such a rural place. It's the right time, it's really the right time!" he shouted, and walked forward, in the direction of William. Finally, he stopped about thirty centimeters in front of William.

At this distance, as long as you stretch out your arms, you can slap the other party lightly. It can be said that it is an absolutely unsafe distance.

Of course, as William said before, this "insecurity" is relative. At the same age, centaurs are much stronger than humans in terms of body and wrist strength. In other words, William is more insecure than Selei.

"I guess, that's what it feels like. William thought to himself: "The first time I drew my sword in another world, do you want to take a picture to commemorate it?"

With the proximity of the situation, Willian was able to take a closer look at his opponent.

The two sides are about the same height, and perhaps that Sele is a little shorter than William. In terms of figure, the other party looks very slender. And the scimitar worn around the waist is not an extremely heavy scimitar like an ordinary centaur, but an ordinary light scimitar. It's lightweight and doesn't look heavy.

In other words, the opponent is limited to age and physique, and does not take the route of strength and skill like ordinary centaurs. It's an agile warrior.

"In that case...... William relaxed a little, feeling that his tactics still had some merit.

Now, then, the only thing that hinders our conversation, the so-called sense of distance, is gone. We can have a good conversation, right, right? If you can, can you bring out the fruit and wine? I prefer the one produced in Lombardy, which is sweet and sour, and just a little bit of it will be unforgettable. ”

"In that case, where do you want me to go and get you fruit and wine?" said William, spreading his hands, "and—"

"—and speaking of which," Seret interrupted William, and his eyes curled into crescents, "I have just thought of a way to do it without much effort. It's a hundred times better than negotiating!"

Almost for a moment, Seray and William put their hands on the handle of their swords, then drew their swords and swung them at each other—from the very beginning, neither of them had any intention of negotiating. Seray was wary of William's firecracker. But William didn't just rely on the prop of the firecracker!

To be fair, at least, at least, at this moment, they can remove their status, their troops, their escorts, their retinues. Truly fair and equal competition. Scimitar vs. dagger, centaur vs. human young warrior. The end result is-

"Won. ”

One step faster than the other party, William's short sword, one step faster than the other party. When Selei's scimitar was about five centimeters away from him, the dagger was already against the neck of the centaur Sailei.

"Ill-intentioned. Selei, who was caught up in the vital point, said to William easily.

"One another. William replied, "You are not much slower than I am." ”

That's it, that's it. In an instant, the situation was reversed again. Sailei, who originally wanted to play a little trick and thought that he would never lose, was self-defeating. Gave himself to William.

"It's faster than me...... No, it should be said that the action is more standard than mine. The act of unsheathing the sword is like art. The timing, angle and force are just right. How long has he been practicing this trick?" said Selei, secretly exclaiming in his heart. But on the surface, he still pretended to be indifferent.

"Young Master?!" John shouted in surprise. At the same time, the rest of the hunting team, who had just felt lifeless, also began to have their eyes shining. Feel like a drowning man who has grasped a lifeline.

"Well, it's fine. By the way, now you can let go of Elise 'Miss Count'. William didn't look back, still staring at Seray as he said to John.

When mentioning Elise, he deliberately accentuated the title of "Miss Count", which could almost be called gritted teeth.

Hearing him say this, Sai Lei, who was pressed against his neck, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed maliciously. However, before he could say anything, William spoke first:

"I'm not going to ask you any questions, and I'm not curious about what information you have and what you want to do. ”

William was completely unmoved, and said to Seray in a deep voice:

"All in all, put down the knife. As you said, I'm in control of the situation now, so it's up to me to call the shots. ”

"It's not impossible for you to call the shots. Seray chuckled, not at all like a centaur with a short sword to his neck. However, the scimitar obeyed William's order and obediently threw it aside.

Behind him, the centaurs looked agitated. They roared loudly and roared. Speaks a language that William doesn't understand at all, belonging to centaurs.

However, even if you can't understand what they are saying, just by looking at their appearance and tone, you can tell that what they are saying is definitely not a good thing.

"Quiet your subordinates. William shook his wrist slightly, letting the dagger rub against the other's neck. The cold touch calmed down a little.

"Absolutely. Seray then shouted twice in a centaur language that William didn't understand. Then William looked at the group of guys, and although he was very unwilling, he still kept his mouth shut.

"Well, then—"

"-Oh, yes, I would like to give you a little reminder. Sailei's tone was still more relaxed than formal: "I, of course, I can cooperate with you on a certain course." But don't overdo it, really, really don't overdo it. Lord William. Or do you really think that a good centaur warrior would be afraid of death?"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" asked William.

"Of course, you can give it a try. Sir William, wipe it and cut my throat. Then shot as a hedgehog by my angry subordinates. Let us all perish together. Uh-huh, although I haven't lived enough in this life. But if you have a choice, it's also nice to die with enemies like you. Do you want to come?"

"If you have to. I won't hesitate. ”

"Yes, yes. Not as a last resort. Don't you think you're saying something pretty classic by accident?"

"Not at all. ”

"Yes...... What?"

"Whatever. ”

William frowned slightly. He wasn't sure if what the other party said was true or false. In fact, he didn't want to confirm it if he could. Perhaps in the eyes of the mentally abnormal centaurs, it is good to die with a powerful enemy or something, which is both romantic and artistic. But William clearly didn't live long enough.

"All in all, if you're targeting that woman, everyone else is innocent. How about letting them go?" said William.

"Oh, oh, oh, I really didn't expect it, did the first thing that came to mind be these people?" Sele was a little surprised: "Or do you want them to escape, and then go back to report the news and bring reinforcements over for reinforcements?"

"It's two days away from the nearest place, where there is plenty of garrison. And these two days, under the condition of riding horses. William said, "So you don't have to worry about it at all." ”

"Yes, yes. Well...... Maybe that's the case. But what can you do if I don't?"

"Are you kidding me?" asked William. At the same time, Selei also felt that the short sword against his neck had undergone a subtle change.

"Nope. I'm just haggling. ”

"I hate bargaining. "So, how about I finish it all at once?"

"Good. ”

"You're not going to let that woman go, are you?"

"Yes, I wouldn't let you go if I could. ”

"Even if it persecutes you like this, you won't compromise, will you?"

"Absolutely, I will choose to die with you. ”

"Are centaurs so disgusting? It's like kraft candy on your hands. ”

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

William took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's go for a day." From here, it takes two days to reach the edge of the forest. You let us go, you wait here for a day. After a day, we will chase after it, and then it will be up to fate who will live and who will die. ”

"What if I don't count?"

"I want you to swear to the spirits of your ancestors. ”

“...... Oh?"

"You should know. As he said this, William reached out to his left hand, which was not holding a sword, and bit the tip of his thumb: "Once the contract is made, it cannot be changed. ”

"Very interesting, very interesting. I have never made a contract with any living being in my life until now. I used to wonder what would be the first creature to make a covenant with me, the sharpest, the most powerful warrior of my race, the most powerful nobleman among men, a powerful demon, some god? In short, I never thought it would be you. The Honourable William von Hereford. ”

"So, the conclusion?" asked William.

"The conclusion is, I accept, I am named after the spirit of my ancestors, the war bear in the cold wind of the north-" The other party looked solemn and sacred. As he said this, he reached out to the side of his mouth.

"-Wrong. William interrupted.

"Something went wrong. Sele asked.

"It's not some northern war bear. Huntaiji, it should be 'blue wolf and white deer'. William said.

“......”

After a moment's pause, Sele laughed, loud, very loud, as if he was going to blow up his alveoli
