Chapter 20: Reinforcements
85_85536 "See you again, my friend. Sele smiled, smiled at William - winner, winner. Yes yes, winner. A victor's virtue. That arrogance, that smugness, that look, people almost can't help but want to beat him.
William thought as he calculated the power he still possessed.
"A crossbow and a short sword...... The powerful recurve bow I got from the centaurs, all from John, I didn't have ...... If I had known it, I took the handcuff when I ran away before. ”
At this moment, William secretly regretted in his heart that a handsome move at that time had become a fatal mistake at this moment...... But then again, William never thought that he would fall to this point. There is no way out and there are pursuers behind it, and it is completely a desperate situation.
"So, do you still want to resist now?" said Seret to William with a smile. For a moment, he didn't have to worry about time or anything like that. He's already on his sleeve, so he feels he should show the self-esteem of the victor and the tolerance of the winner.
So he immediately changed the way this was called:
"No, I mean, to reject my kindness - I mean, do you want to reject my kindness even now?"
"So, are centaurs really as hypocritical as you?" said William, feeling a little helpless, "if you are really sincere, then how about getting closer?"
"I won't be fooled again. Sai Lei smiled: "William, I know that your strength is much stronger than what you appear to be. I even suspect that if all the centaurs in the room were counted together with the humans, one-on-one, then you might be able to defeat all of your opponents. ”
"You really think of me. William lamented, "I haven't eaten anything or rested for nearly two days. In this case, you even say that I am the best in this group of people and centaurs. ”
"So, what's your answer?" said Serre, instead of answering William's words.
"I refuse. William said without hesitation.
"That's a shame. Seray raised his hand as a command. After this, the surrounding centaurs all raised their recurve bows in their hands, stretched their bows and arrows, and aimed at William.
"Look at this, my friend, and now, at my command, you'll be shot like a hedgehog. But speaking of which, as the son of a knight, such an ending might be pretty good for you......"
"Really?" William's expression was not sad or happy, and he did look like he was ready to come to his senses.
"I just wanted to scare him a little. But now it looks like you can't shoot anymore. I don't know why, Selei's heart relaxed a lot—in addition to the feeling of relaxation, there was also a little bit of happiness and regret.
"After giving this order, I can no longer see how far this teenager will grow. This is indeed a matter of regret. But at the same time, I'll be glad for it. I don't need to see a threat, a great threat to the Tartarya Khanate grows up. ”
That's it, that's it. Realizing that William did not succumb, or "flex", like some people, Seret had the feeling that perhaps it would be more appropriate, convenient, and safer to kill him than to subdue him.
"Shoot. ”
So, without hesitation, Sele gave such an order - shoot, shoot. There were more than seventy centaur warriors in one salvo, and the target was only William. That is to say-
"William!!" The next moment, Princess Elise threw herself into William's arms. Suddenly there was one more target to shoot. Celestial was so surprised that he wanted to order it to stop, but it was too late. Seventy bows crashed in unison, and the feathered arrows pierced the air and shot at William and Elise. Sai Lei couldn't help but close his eyes, not daring to look any further. He regrets it now. If I knew that this was the end, I should have pulled Princess Elise away first. He had no idea that this girl would suddenly make such a move. It's simply ......
Now, though, it's too late to regret it. With so many centaur warriors firing a volley of bows and arrows, the fate of the two of them must be-
Unscathed.
As the shafts of the arrows snapped and the sound of the arrows collapsing, an invisible sword curtain protected William and Princess Elise in the middle. With the swing of the sword, the centaurs' proud archery skills were all nullified.
"What's going on?what's going on?!Who's going against us?!"
The centaurs rightly let out such a question and roar - and then blood flew everywhere, and the head of the owl, the head of the owl, the head of the owl. In an instant, the heads of the three centaur warriors besieging the left flew up, and then the centaurs of the two squads on the other side of them lost their heads. The sight of the head and body being separated was like a virulent contagion, and before the centaurs could react, the moonlight had already swept through the half hundred.
Dozens of centaurs were in different places, and after two seconds of stiffness, they fell like dominoes that had been pushed down.
"This, this is simply ......" Sele was dumbfounded. It was as if my brain had stiffened for a moment. Immediately after, a flash of light flashed in his brain, and he suddenly thought of something of the nature of a "myth and legend" that he had heard before.
"That's—that's fake, yes. How could there be such an outrageous thing in this world?! It's too exaggerated, it's too exaggerated. That's just—"
Thinking of this, the young centaur warrior no longer had the courage to continue thinking, in the face of this force beyond common sense, all he could do was to use all his strength, desperately denying and resisting-
"No kidding! How can there be such a thing in this world?! The so-called legend should give me no scum left—"
His spiritual power was fully activated, and the majestic magma-like fiery spiritual power slammed towards the other party.
"Dead, he'll be—"
Unscathed.
After dealing with the centaurs, the men with their backs to Seray and this half of the centaur warriors were unscathed.
"Are you alright?" he said softly, smiling softly, looking at William, and Elise, who was hugging him tightly. For Sailei's spiritual power attack, it was as if he didn't feel it, he didn't feel it, and he was unharmed.
"......" William opened his mouth, only to feel that his brain was a mess, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"You're doing a great job, you're doing a great job. Really, my child. If it weren't for your efforts, I wouldn't have had a chance to save you two at this time. I really can't imagine that you can have such a good table at a critical moment. When he had said this, he got back to his feet, turned away, and looked at Seray, and the other centaur warriors under his command.
The original silver-white armor was stained with the blood of the centaurs he had slain. Except for the gentle smile that was the same as before, the rest of the qiē was different from what William remembered.
Dye the armor scarlet, dye the face scarlet. Originally, ordinary swordsmen and knights attached great importance to their image, and would never allow such a thing to happen.
But he's different, he doesn't care about these things. Your own appearance, your own appearance, what others say about you, all of them don't matter. As long as you can have the strength to protect what you should protect.
"Red, color...... Knight...... Red, knight ......"
The Red Knight, Otto von Hereford. William's father, head of the Hereford family, baron of the realm. At the same time, he was also a famous grand knight of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, and even the eastern border of the entire empire. In the previous war, by killing people, he forcibly killed from a civilian to a terrifying role of a baron with real power, revealing his true identity in this forest.
After confirming his identity, Sai Lei, who glanced at him, only felt that the blood on his body was cold. I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but I found that my body was completely stiff and I couldn't move.
"Yes...... It's been more than ten years since the Great Eastern War, and I can't imagine that anyone still remembers me. ”
As he said this, the baron took off his helmet, revealing long black hair of the same color as William's, and a handsome and melancholy countenance.
"Saved. After this, William completely relaxed, and then fainted.
"You, you're—" Seret stammered, not knowing what to say. The world is so exciting. Just now, he was in perfect control of the whole situation. But now, he's a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping block. It's simply it.
"Are you going to die, I'm not reconciled!" the young centaur warrior roared inwardly. But opposite to his heart is his fragile body, which can no longer be fragile.
He couldn't muster the courage to resist at all, and although he was screaming desperately in his heart, in fact, his body had given up resisting.
"I'm going to be killed. Seray thought to himself, and then, seeing Baron Otto point his sword at him, he spoke:
"Your name?"
"Sere...... Child's Son, Sailei. Seret replied.
"How old are you?"
“...... Fifteen years old. Although I don't quite understand why the other party would ask that. But Sele answered his question honestly.
"That's right. With that, Baron Otto raised his sword.
