Chapter 118: Giroud's Last (Three Watches)

Immediately after, there was a "boom", and a flame ignited from Weipa's wound. With the sound of 'ziz' when the meat is grilled with oil, a rich smell of burnt meat fills the air.

Without hesitation, at almost the same time, despite the spread of flames from the charred wound and the sharp pain caused by the removal of a large muscle and the heat, Weipa forcibly paused the sharp hammer that was in a forward stabbing state, and then swept sideways and forcefully with one hand to Giroud's side.

He was so fast that Giroud couldn't even see where it was moving, except for a bright white light flashing from the spikes of the hammer and a continuous 'crackling' sound.

'Is his elemental form thunder and lightning?' Giroud thought to himself as he saw the flash, and although he had judged the enemy's elemental form, he was not at all happy.

At this time, the bronzed skin on Wei Pa's upper body suddenly turned a large bright red color, and even some green tendons and blood vessels obviously protruded from the skin. Veppa's hideous face showed that he was suffering intensely at this time.

This is the fifth stage skill of the knight and berserker - 'Blood Boiling'.

Through magic power, the knight forcibly urges his own blood circulation, which is to increase the speed of blood circulation, and at the same time increase the various abilities of the knight's own body, such as instantaneous speed, explosive power, acceleration force, and reaction power.

Any skill will have side effects, especially in the later stages of melee professionals, 'blood boiling' will increase part of the knight's physical ability, and correspondingly reduce another part of the knight's ability value, such as long-lasting combat ability, physical strength, and defense.

While increasing the knight's instantaneous combat power, it will also greatly reduce the knight's ability to sustain combat. It is an ability with advantages and disadvantages, and the strength, adaptability and practicality of the ability depend on the user's ideas and the timing of use.

Giroud's eyes were shaken by the sudden flash of dazzling white light, his eyes closed unconsciously, and then he knew that it was not good, and immediately opened them, but it was too late, the mistake of closing his eyes in a high-intensity battle was not so simple to undo.

So he was unfortunate enough to serve as a negative teaching material for the future knight instructors to educate their apprentices, and under the unexpectedness, he naturally took the unusually heavy blow in full, with a "click" sound that could be clearly heard even by the cavalry who were approaching not far away.

Everyone knows that Giroud received a serious and potentially fatal injury, and the continuous fracture of the left sternum could directly threaten most human vital organs such as the heart and left lung, and the external damage of these organs is so severe that the death of the person is basically certain.

And his constantly twitching and trembling body, the flashing arcs of electricity all over his body, and the blood that kept pouring from the corners of his mouth and wounds with the convulsions and coughs of his body, were a good interpretation of this fact to everyone around him.

'Is this the zuihou of my life? It's a shame that I haven't seen little Giroud become a knight. ”

"Father and mother, forgive your useless son. ”

"Peggy, I hope you will raise our son with your heart and adulthood, and I hope you will find another person who loves you. ”

"Paye, my friend, whatever your purpose, but my life has indeed changed because of you, xiexie you. Giroud said affectionately.

"Zuihou, my lord, your servant Giroud has done his best!' Giroud stared at the dim night sky with a few stars hanging here and there, blood gushing from the corners of his twitching mouth and the massive wound.

As time passed, his blood lost more and more, and his body gradually became cold. Her originally sharp eyes gradually became cloudy and dull, slowly losing the focus in her pupils, and as the bleeding stopped, his life on this shijie also came to an end.

Weipa silently glanced at another enemy who had fallen under his men, the expression on his face was still faintly excited and bloodthirsty, his tongue sticking out and licking his dry lips, and then without hesitation, he turned and rushed towards the remaining cavalry.

Accompanied by the loud shrill shouts of the barbarians, Wepa continued to smash and stab with his giant weapon, constantly reaping the leaderless cavalry.

At this time, they were like a flock of sheep that had lost their head, and they were in chaos, allowing the hungry wolves who broke into their tribe to act recklessly.

It wasn't until the yellow dust in the sky gradually disappeared that the shouts and screams gradually stopped, and then all that remained was the faint groans and the sound of horses' hooves fading away.

――――――

Time returned to the present, almost at the same time that Weipa returned to the Count's temporary headquarters, Zado, who was in charge of the temporary command, also received the news of the defeat of the cavalry troops.

"Is it? The cavalry was really routed. After listening to the news of the herald's report, Zado looked at the stalker in front of him who was now being used as a herald, and said lightly, as if he had expected this result, and his face did not show a trace of strangeness.

Zado looked at him half-kneeling as the herald was covered in scars and wretched. His body was constantly trembling, his face was full of great confusion and fear, and the unpredictability of the battle situation made his eyes look at Zado full of hope.

Zador naturally knew what instructions he wanted from his mouth, and he knew the thoughts and desires of the stalker in front of him. It can be said to represent the portrayal of most people's hearts among their subordinates at this time.

"Lanch, signal to the regimental commander that it's time to retreat. Zado hesitated, then shook his head, and turned to the warlock Ranch on the side, signaling him to inform Carson, who was fighting Viscount Rick, that it was time to retreat.

"Got it. Ranch immediately agreed weakly, even if there was an almost certain guess about the realization, but the task of no gain or even a large loss was something that adventurers like thieves and mercenaries did not like to encounter.

"Phew, I finally had a big operation, I didn't gain anything for a long time, and I wasted my entire eight soul stones, which I have been stocking for several years, and I'm really undead. With a nasty whining, Ranch reluctantly signaled Carson to retreat.

Zado ignored his companion's complaints and pretended not to hear. Although he is the staff officer of the entire thief group, he also dislikes this kind of business that has no gains, and even loses a lot of money to a certain extent.
