Section 13 Terror
The manor was already in chaos, and the soldiers drew their weapons and assembled in formation under Poirot's command.
However, compared to the royal guards, Viscount Lane's guards were not only sparse in number, but also much worse in terms of well-equipped.
The servants hid aside, not daring to speak. Lady Nancy's voice became the only voice in the estate.
Everyone focused their eyes on Lance, and the thoughts in their hearts were similar to Nancy's.
How could this second young master, who had been traveling to study, cause such a big disaster as soon as he came back? The viscount was obviously in a very dangerous situation, and by doing so, he was undoubtedly pushing the Ryan family into the fire pit.
Who knew that in the face of Nancy's pleading, a hideous look suddenly flashed on Viscount Lane's face.
Syllable!
He slapped Nancy in the face with a slap, knocking her to the ground.
"Shut up!"
Viscount Lane shouted, "I will never hand over Lance. ”
The Viscountess stumbled and fell to the ground, covering her face in disbelief.
Seeing this scene, Becky was almost stupefied, and it took a long time to rush over to help her mother up.
"Father, when Prince Longbottom asked you to hand over my brother, you did not hesitate to hand it over. Becky gritted her teeth and cried and roared, "Why did you ask you to hand over Lance today, but you refused without hesitation." And you have to do this to your mother?"
Viscount Ryan took a deep breath slowly, just about to say more.
It was at this time that Lance finally stood up: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. ”
"Since it is I who caused the trouble. I'll figure it out myself, and you'll just have to watch. ”
With that, he walked alone towards the gate of the manor.
"Lance!" Viscount Ryan was taken aback and couldn't help but shout.
Lance paused for a moment, then looked back and smiled, "Father, how did you forget, what did I study outside?"
Ryan was stunned for a moment, it happened so suddenly, he didn't have time to think about it. It was at this time. He suddenly remembered. The place where Lance went was the same place where Amman had studied.
"Could it be that my son has become a qualified wizard?" Viscount Lane's heart pounded.
"Yes. Only to become a real wizard. It's so powerful. The old butler said that he had killed a team of knights by himself. In fact, if Amman is still there, he can kill all these people in front of him with just a few spells. ”
Come to think of it. His heart was a little more settled.
And the rest of the people in the manor looked at the second young master who suddenly appeared with surprised eyes.
Except for Poirot and a few others, they didn't know much about the second young master, and with their mortal knowledge, they couldn't guess what Lance could do.
Surrender on your knees?
Longbottom Jr. was notoriously tyrannical, and even if Lance did, he would probably die.
The servants in the manor couldn't help but have a trace of sadness in their eyes - first Young Master Griffin was imprisoned, and now it is the second young master who has just come back who has an accident, maybe the Lane family has really come to an end.
Becky and Nancy's eyes were full of resentment, and in their opinion, it would be a rare good thing for Lance to be killed by these knights.
Just looking at Lance's firm steps and tall back, Biki suddenly remembered something:
"Mother, what happened in the garden...... If it was really Lance who did it, then is it possible that he has really become a ...... after he has been away for so long?"
Nancy was also stunned, it had been two years since the incident of beating people. She almost forgot about this strange thing.
Although there is no evidence pointing to Lance, in fact, Nancy has long known that it is definitely Lance's handiwork that the beating grass appears in the back garden and hurts people.
"Even if he learned some sorcery, little Longbottom himself is a gold-level, warrior who ignited the fire of the flesh. And your brother Griffin is a level of powerhouse. It's unlikely he'll beat Longbottom. Nancy whispered to herself.
At this time, Lance had already arrived at the gate of the manor.
The soldiers who had been guarding there retreated.
Poirot stood beside Lance, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Of course, he will not forget the details of this mysterious second young master. It was Lance who saved him and his comrades from the mutated Frost Demon Horde in the first place, and to this day, he is still shocked by Lance's brilliant archery skills.
"Master Lance, if you need our help, you only need a password. Poirot whispered.
Lance smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”
He said it politely, but Poirot understood what he meant, and that he didn't need help.
So under Poirot's command, all the soldiers pushed away and gave up the entrance to the manor to Reims.
......
"You're the guy who killed my team, who are you?" asked a knight in gold armor outside the manor with interest.
He is the eldest son of Prince Longbottom, Longbottom Jr.
As soon as he spoke, the faces of everyone in the manor who looked at Lance immediately changed.
Nancy and Becky, in particular, were even more shocked.
Originally, they only knew that Lance had killed someone, but they didn't expect that Lance would kill a team of knights by himself!
That's the knight of the royal guard! It's definitely not comparable to the escort of those little lords.
Many servants and soldiers privately discussed: "Could it be that Young Master Lance also lit the fire of the flesh?"
"No, the strong man who ignited the fire, such as Master Griffin, although he can also kill many powerful enemies, but that is the knight of the royal guard, it is said that everyone is a silver powerhouse who ignites the edge of the fire. Want to kill a team of Silver Champions...... What kind of strength does this take?"
"I don't know, it's completely unimaginable. It turned out that this young master Lance was so powerful! No wonder he had the confidence to face Longbottom. ”
The sound of the crowd reaching the ears of Becky and Nancy, the expressions on the faces of the two women became even more ugly.
............
"I am the second son of Viscount Lane, and my name is Lance. Lance replied calmly.
Little Longbottom smiled coldly: "You killed the knights of my squad and dared to stand in front of me with a swagger, aren't you afraid of death?"
Lance said calmly: "I heard that you imprisoned my brother, and your Longbottom family held the queen hostage, under the pretense of royal orders, excluded our Lane family, and forcibly occupied our family's territory. The Lane family has become like this when you have been ostracized by you. I'll kill you with a small squad of knights. What's wrong with that?!"
Inside and outside Apple Farm, there was silence.
What Lance said was true, but the problem was that no one dared to put it on the table.
Because once the skin is torn. It's tantamount to giving Longbottom an excuse.
Viscount Ryan sighed. Hold the sword in your hand. The expression is stern.
Now that Lance has torn his face with Longbottom, it is time to prepare for a full-scale battle. It is estimated that it cannot be defeated, and a way must be found. Bring some loyal centaurs to a new territory. In this way, it is equivalent to rebuilding the territory. The reason why Viscount Lane had been forbearance before was that he didn't want the territory he had worked so hard to manage for many years to be picked by Longbottom.
But now, it seems that there is no way.
Sure enough, as soon as Lance said this, a look of joy appeared on the face of Little Longbottom.
He pointed his sword at Lance and shouted: "What a second young master of the Lane family, you dare to slander the royal family, you are going to die today!"
"Kill this kid for me! If the rest of the people in the manor don't surrender, then kill them all!"
Longbottom's order was like the verdict of death, and everyone's faces were as dead as ashes, and they trembled with fear. Some people were even so frightened that they were incontinent, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move.
Only Viscount Lane and the soldiers still stood stubbornly there, ready to fight.
A small group of knights immediately came out of the ranks and rushed fiercely towards Lance, who was standing at the gate of the manor.
"Master Lance be careful!" Poirot reminded.
At this time, the knight at the head still rushed to the gate of the manor.
He wore a golden mask with hideous faces painted on it, and the long sword in his hand was raised high, ready to fall!
Suddenly, a silver light flashed.
Before they could even realize what was happening, they saw a stream of blood spill over it, and the knight's head suddenly unloaded, and he made a strange arc in the air, and finally rolled twice in the dirt.
The frightened horse let out a wail, and trembled around Reims, and rushed into the manor with the headless knight, falling to the ground at once.
Everyone looked at this strange scene and was dumbfounded.
Lance, on the other hand, stood there as if he hadn't moved.
Once the knights' horses stormed, the speed could not be stopped, and soon, the second knight rushed in.
The people in the manor watched Lance's movements, trying to see how he made his moves.
Who knows this time, as if it were a copy of the previous action.
Lance was still motionless, still a flash of silver light, and the knight's head fell to the ground!
Then there is the third and fourth, and the ending is still exactly the same as the previous two.
Longbottom Jr. was finally moved. The remaining knights, who were far away, barely reined in their horses, and looked at Lance in horror.
"What are you waiting for, the two of you go together!" said Little Longbottom when he saw that his men had actually stopped, and immediately roared with great dissatisfaction.
In the face of the order of their superiors, the rest of the knights looked at each other helplessly, and then gritted their teeth and formed a formation to charge at Reims.
This time, instead of using the more handsome swords, they used spears!
There are a total of five spears, two in front and three behind, pointing directly at Lance.
This time, Lance finally lifted his eyelids slightly.
He swept the sword in his hand, and in the next second, the whole person suddenly disappeared in place!
At that time, everyone only saw a strange blue light flying back and forth in the group of knights, and every time the blue light passed by a knight, a knight screamed and fell to his horse!
In just five breaths, the formation formed by the five knights immediately shattered, and Lance's body reappeared in place!
At this moment, the manor suddenly erupted in irrepressible cheers!
"Young Master Lance is really amazing!"
"yes. What kind of swordsmanship is this, stronger than Young Master Griffin!"
"We're saved, Young Master Lance can deal with a whole bunch of knights alone!"
The soldiers rubbed their hands excitedly. Viscount Ryan was shocked, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He could see better than anyone else that what Lance had just used was clearly not a sword technique, but a super-fast sorcery.
Because of his good friendship with Amman, Viscount Ryan still has a certain understanding of the wizarding world. In his opinion, the reason why Lance can be so elusive should be due to the pair of blue shoes on his feet.
And in fact. Lance's method was indeed similar to what the Viscount had imagined.
He didn't use any witchcraft. It simply ignited the terrifying speed of the Thunder Elf Boots.
This kind of speed is impossible for even wizards and monsters to resist, let alone these mortals.
He is reluctant to directly reveal his identity as a wizard and is unwilling to use witchcraft to destroy his enemies. The reason is also very simple.
He's trying to lure the Longbottom family into making enemies of him!
"If I directly show the strength of a second-level wizard. I'm afraid that a qiē problem will be solved. No matter how powerful Prince Longbottom is, he doesn't dare to go against a second-level wizard. ”
Lance thought to himself, "But if that's the case, I don't have any excuse to do it." As soon as I revealed my identity. Longbottom would return Griffin immediately, and at the same time return all of his father's benefits to him, and I am afraid that he would also give him a lot of good things. People can't say it's a misunderstanding, with a sincere and apologizing attitude, then in this way, it's really embarrassing to reach out and not hit the smiling person, and want to kill more Longbottom. ”
Lance's purpose is actually very simple, to help Viscount Ryan reclaim what he deserves. Then give Longbottom a hard lesson.
When necessary, he didn't really mind killing the prince of a kingdom.
On the other hand, the reason why he is so low-key is that there are iron laws in the wizarding world that prohibit wizards from participating in the struggle of mortals.
Lance didn't want to break this iron law, so he had to take advantage of it. Because there is an exception to this iron rule - if the premise is that mortals are disrespectful to wizards and take the initiative to provoke attacks, then wizards naturally have the right to retaliate.
It's not a conspiracy, it's just a small trick.
And the fate of the Longbottom family has actually been sealed since the moment Lance returned to the territory.
......
The inexplicable death of a small squad of knights caused great panic among the royal guard.
Even Longbottom himself was horrified.
He is a golden master who ignited the fire of the flesh, and his body has also reached the peak of ordinary people's limits. He saw it more clearly than Viscount Lane, and this guy Lance wiped out his own team of knights like chopping melons and vegetables.
"This kind of speed is not what humans should have. Little Longbottom suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "Could it be that he is the legendary ......?"
But before he could figure out the joints, Lance took the initiative to walk towards the group of knights.
Alone, carrying a sword, he walked towards a group of well-armed knights.
Somewhat funny, however, the knights cowered back in fear.
Little Longbottom secretly said no, this time he met a master, this Lance is much stronger than his brother Griffin!
Just when he was worried about how to step down, Lance had already taken an arrow step and brazenly entered the knights.
The knights were in chaos!
Everyone looked a little dazed, where was this an unarmed man against a flock of knights, it was clearly a lion rushing into the flock.
Whoosh!
With every sword stabbed, a knight fell from his horse.
Lance's figure is like a ghost, and the knights can't catch him at all!
After just five breaths, the knights collapsed.
Everyone fled regardless of it, and little Longbottom naturally beat wildly in his heart and walked away with his head down.
Unfortunately, soon, a huge force kicked on the stomach of the war horse under him.
Longbottom Jr. was kicked down by Lance.
"Damn it, isn't it fast? I'll fight with you!"
Little Longbottom wolfed his sword horizontally, and the muscles in his body began to swell.
Faintly, at the place of his chest, a flame slowly ignited.
It was a sign that a martial artist who specialized in the flesh would light a fire and become a master of gold.
"The gold master? ”
Lance said with some sarcasm.
In the next second, he stabbed out with a sword.
It's just too fast!
That was the only thought on the back of Longbottom's mind. He barely managed to hold his sword across his chest.
Bang dang!
The sword was flown off, and his armor was pierced. The power bestowed upon him by Tinder allowed him to dodge Lance's first sword and avoid doom from the knights who had come before him.
However, his luck also came to an end. Because the power of the fire is very limited, after blocking this fatal damage for the master, the flame slowly shrank.
The golden power of little Longbottom was shattered by Lance in a single shot.
Lance was expressionless and took another step forward.
At this critical moment, Longbottom Jr. suddenly shouted, "I surrender! Don't kill me!"
After that, he immediately knelt on his knees, and the whole person was prostrate on the ground, trembling all over.
When the people in the manor saw this scene, their cheers became even louder!
Things have developed to this point, and even Viscount Ryan couldn't imagine that Lance would solve so many knights by himself!
Becky and Nancy were even more stupid, but the surrender of Longbottom Jr. still gave the latter a glimmer of hope in his heart.
She immediately said to Viscount Lane: "Now it's okay, with little Longbottom as a hostage, we can ask Prince Longbottom to release Griffin ......"
It's just that she hasn't finished her words yet, but she heard Lance say lightly: "Sorry, I didn't hear what you were talking about." ”
Sou!
A sword stabbed out, piercing his throat directly.
Little Longbottom was dead.
There was a sudden silence in the manor.
"Lance!You actually killed him!?"
Even Viscount Ryan couldn't help but change his face drastically!
That's Prince Longbottom's son. When Lance kills him, there is no room for manoeuvre.
The rest of the people were even more short of breath and looked at Lance, not knowing what he had in mind.
Lance slowly withdrew his sword, and instead of walking towards the manor, he walked in the direction of Shoufeng Town:
"If Longbottom is crowding out and harming our family, why should I show mercy?"
"Please give me half a day, and I'll get rid of all the pesky guys. (To be continued......)
