Chapter 167: Fierce Fight 1
The forest is so quiet that the dense foliage almost obscures the entire forest, and there are not many light that can pass through the obstacles to enter the forest, and the dim weather after the rain gives people an eerie feeling even during the day.
Because it had just rained, the forest was very wet, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground were like a thick blanket, and as soon as you stepped on it, the water gushed up, forming a black footprint.
Gehr looked at the footprints that had not been formed long in front of him, hunched over, and cautiously followed.
The prey he was tracking was not a good one, and in fact Ikar Khan's ferocity and cunning were also well-known among the Blue Lords, and after entering the familiar jungle terrain, there was no certainty as to who would be the hunter and who would be the prey.
More than half an hour ago, when the Slavna coalition began to collapse, Gehr was attacked by the rout, and the battlefields of Ikar Khan and Gadaru were originally separated. It was only a moment's delay, and when he broke away from the rout, he saw the backs of the two people who were fighting him running away.
Thinking about it, these two people also saw that the battle situation was irreversible, and wanted to get out of this whirlpool first and then make another plan.
Seeing that these two enemies were about to flee, in order to kill the military leader of the Slavna coalition to prevent a recurrence of the battle, Gehr, who had been separated from his own soldiers, did not bother to inform his companions, so he chased after him and bit Ikarhan and Gadaru.
However, fortunately, the defeated soldiers also scattered and fled, losing the fighting spirit to continue fighting, so Gehr only needed to cut down a few defeated soldiers who stood in the way, and the other defeated soldiers would immediately bypass him and run to other places. It didn't hinder him too much, which is why he was able to bite Ikar Khan and Gadaru in the chaos of the army.
Ikar Khan and Gadaru already had a deep understanding of how difficult Gehr was. It was also clear that if they were caught up and entangled by Gehr, then their death would be the time of death when the cavalry of the Haystings freed their hands. Therefore, the two of them also desperately wanted to run out of the camp, so they would not show the slightest mercy to the defeated soldiers who stood in the way, and the weapons in their hands were also wildly waving, harvesting the lives of their compatriots and killing themselves to survive.
It's just that in the face of Gehr, who is chasing after him, the two of them don't have a good way.
But the good news is that because of the previous raid and bloody battle, Gehr's side did not know where to run with the bow on horseback, and there was no one with bows and arrows around for a while - in fact, after being rained, ordinary bows and arrows were useless. Therefore, they can only chase them to the death, and cannot shoot them down directly with arrows.
It was at this time that Gadaru made his first choice - when he passed through a rout, he jumped off his horse and disappeared into the rout as soon as he was short.
The blue lord, known for his cruelty and bravery, did not hesitate to abandon the people he had always supported, and chose to flee for his life, as for what Ikar Khan thought, it was better to wait for him to survive.
This change made Gehr also slightly stunned, but it was only a blink of an eye. He decided to pursue Ikar Khan further, after all, he was the leader of the Srakna army, and Gadaru was only a prestigious general, and if he had to choose between the two, Gehr would not waste his time on this rough and cunning redbeard on the outside. I think Gadaru also understood this and made such a choice, if it was Ikar Khan who did this, it would be self-defeating.
However, Gadaru was a bit of a spirit, while Gehr focused on pursuing Ikar Khan. He hid in the crowd and threw the throwing axe at Gehr again, though he still didn't hurt Gehr. But he also managed to slow down Gell by dodging, allowing Ikar Khan to hurry up and get past the two routs. The distance between the two was further narrowed.
After throwing the throwing axe, Gadaru once again disappeared in the midst of the chaos.
Faced with this situation, Gehr did not have time to pursue the redbeard, so he could only continue to pursue Ikar Khan. However, because of this delay and the rout behind him, he was unable to block Ikar Khan in the camp and let him escape.
After that, the two started a race of life and death on the plains.
The end result was that Ikar Khan was the first to sense the jungle and took refuge in it, while Gehr had to follow.
The trees on both sides quickly retreated behind him, Gehr stopped, looked left and right, the trees here were already very tall, the thick canopy on them barely let in the sunlight, and all that was left around was the sound of his own heartbeat except for the sound of dripping water.
The breath of dead silence crept through the woodland.
Looking at the footprints in front of him, Gell paused, then continued walking.
One step, two steps......
Syllable!
The footsteps stopped abruptly.
Geer's pupils contracted instantly, and the whole person turned around suddenly, jumped up towards the back, and swung the long sword in his hand upward.
At the same moment, a dark shadow leaped down from the thick canopy behind Gehr, and the terrible sound of cutting through the air instantly sounded.
Clang!
Swords collided with swords.
Gehr took a few steps back in succession, and a hint of flush flashed across his face.
The black shadow of the attack also flew out in relay and came to a halt against a tree, it was the gray bearded face of Ikar Khan.
"I chased it so hard, I didn't expect to be forced to this point by you, at your age, you are proud enough. ”
"You should have had this realization when you left the Wayne Islands and set foot on the land of Hasting. Gehr replied coldly.
"You're sure you've won?" Ikar Khan sneered, "You're so confident in fighting me in the jungle." ”
"Then speak with a sword. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gehr kicked his feet, and the whole person pounced on Ikar Khan.
The sword light suddenly pierced the air.
Clang!
The two swords collided again, and each bounced back, and the two were on par in terms of strength.
Ikar Khan took a small leap to the side, and at that moment he drew his sword again, stabbing Gehr in the throat.
Gehr turned sideways, the high-speed blade breaking through the air and passing near his neck. There was a squeaky grinding sound on the steel neck guard.
Obviously, when stepping into the jungle with both feet. Ikar Khan had exploded into a much more formidable battle, and he was more familiar with the environment than he was with cavalry.
This moment. Gehr felt the breath of death.
However, Gehr was also undaunted, not retreating, but advancing, and the long sword stabbed out with the same fierceness, forcing Ikar Khan to dodge sideways while leaving a mark on the front of his breastplate.
"Damn it!"
Ikar Khan's face changed slightly, and a little cold sweat appeared on his face, but his men were not satisfied at all, and the long sword in his hand continued to slash at the most terrible enemy he had faced, and his steps jumped briskly on the forest land, matching the frequency of the sword. Brought up a series of silver arcs of light.
Gehr did not back down at all, and responded with the most violent slash.
The right sweep, the left slash, the frontal stab, the side dodge, one round after the other, one attack followed the other, the two sides did not have any intention of retreating, and used the most fierce attack to do a head-to-head duel.
Bell crotch !!
The clash of swords in a string. Countless arcs of light flickered and disappeared in the forest.
The rapid frequency of attacks made the two of them dare not have the slightest distraction, and once they made a mistake, it would be the end of death.
In comparison, Geh's sword skills are more precise and sharp, while Ikar Khan's movement speed and frequency are more superb, and no one can completely overwhelm the opponent for a while.
The sound of "poof" and "zheng". Ringing almost at the same time.
The two sides retreated, and the nail leaf on Gehr's left shoulder flew out, bursting out with a field of blood. Ikar Khan's breastplate was almost torn in half by the sword marks, and the clothes inside were dyed bright red.
Compared to Kiger's still calm, almost cold face. The powerful Azure Lord's face turned red, he had no idea that fighting in the jungle would be suppressed to such an extent by Gehr, a young man less than twenty and half his age. Originally, when he fought with Gadaru before. Ikar Khan thought that his main attack was horse warfare, and his worst was horse warfare, you must know that there are few opportunities for horse warfare in the archipelago, so he and Gadaru can't suppress Gehr, if it is changed to infantry combat in a jungle environment, it will be different.
However, he didn't expect Gehr's foot combat to be so good, and his skillful and lethal sword skills made it impossible for Ikar Khan's speed advantage to turn into victory, and he had to always be careful of his deadly counterattacks that could occur at any time.
Although it was still fifty-five, Ikar Khan knew that he was beginning to lose ground.
"Die!"
Ikar Khan roared loudly, and his body rushed forward, stabbing the fastest and most ruthless sword.
Gehr didn't back down in the slightest, and directly slashed towards Ikar Khan, who was bumping into him.
Syllable!
The two strode back at the same time.
"Not good!"
Gehr's face changed slightly. In his sight, Ikar Khan slammed his back as he leaped backwards, an unnecessary movement that made him widen the distance, but it also caused him to lose some of his balance and stop with a heavy crash into a large tree. At this time, Ikar Khan did not choose to attack or flee, but reached the inside of his belt with his right hand, and three metal discs appeared between his right fingers.
Laugh at!
These three pieces of paper-thin discs ground with tough metal were no more than half the size of a palm, but they flew extremely fast, and as soon as they struck, they turned into three silver threads, and in an instant they came to Gehr.
Gehr was still in the process of adjusting his body's balance, so he simply didn't have enough time to dodge, so he could only force himself to the right, while the long sword in his hand was blocked in front of him.
With two clangs, the two metal discs were blocked, and a strange arc crossed Gehr's body, silently cutting into the tree behind him, as if it was not hindered at all, and the last metal disc grazed Gehr's right arm, the steel armor did not play any role, and a deep bone opening was brought out on his arm, and the sharp pain suddenly entered Gehr's nerves.
But Gehr's movements did not pause in the slightest, and while stabilizing his body, he kicked the ground violently, and the whole person rushed towards Ikar Khan as fast as he could.
Clang!
Without a chance to unleash a second round of ranged attacks, Ikar Khan drew his sword and met him, and the two swords slammed into each other again.
"Ah!!" Because Ikar Khan, who was in a hurry to meet the attack, was a little overwhelmed this time, and was forced to retreat, in order to avoid being pursued by Geer and expanding his advantage, he ignored the sword light in front of him, stabbed forward violently, and forced Geer back in a defeat-losing way.
Geer's pupils froze, but he didn't back down in the slightest, just leaned sideways, and the long sword in his hand sped up a point.
Laugh at!
The two staggered, and blood splattered violently!(To be continued......)
