Chapter Ninety-Nine: Recapture the Fragments
Simon and a few Shadow Assassins were preparing to flee through the south gate of Flamechase City, and unfortunately, the Kidd brothers chose to flee from this direction as well. All the centaurs gathered at the south gate of Flame Chasing City, and the originally deserted south gate instantly became lively.
"You guys don't defend the city well, why are you doing here?" Simon yelled at the Kidd brothers.
"Without the help of your Imperial Knights, do you think we can stop the attack of the Aika family with our little men?" Jace ran out of the city gate without looking back.
"Come back, didn't I tell you? The army of our White Dragon Knights is about to arrive in Flamechase City. Lord Kai will come to receive the treasure we have dug up. Simon waved his arm to stop the Kidd brothers. But the Kidd brothers ignored it, and shouted loudly: "To hell with the Imperial Knights! Our brother just believed your nonsense and almost lost his life, what bullshit reinforcements, you go and wait yourself!"
"Bandits are bandits, a bunch of useless things!" Simon gave a look of disdain, "Let's go out of the city to pick up Lord Kai, they should be there soon." ”
"Hey, ugly man, why are you running away?" Suddenly, Joshua and his party appeared at the city gate.
"How did you guys get in?" Simon said in surprise.
"It doesn't matter how we got in, now you better think about how to escape! Joshua laughed.
"This box won't be handed over to you anyway, come on, fight with them!" Simon shouted, leading the Shadow Assassin towards the city gates.
"I advise you to stop making unnecessary resistance!" Geraint's longsword unsheathed in front of Simon, quickly knocking out several shadow assassins around him.
"You...... You...... Are you the Geraint of the Golden Dragon Knights?" Rumon seemed to remember the identity of the man who had always been troublesome for himself.
"Oops, I forgot to disguise myself when I went out this time. But I didn't expect to meet you again!" said Geraint.
Seeing his men being knocked down one by one, Simon was immediately flustered. He knew very well that with the strength of Geraint, the former first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights, it would be very easy to deal with him. As for why, in the previous few encounters, although he was defeated repeatedly, Geraint didn't seem to be a killer, and Simon could only be explained by being Geraint and thinking about the old relationship of the Five Dragon Knights.
"Sure enough, it was the fish that slipped through the net back then. I can't believe that you, a traitor, can survive until now. Although Simon's heart has become very panicked, his mouth is still as dead as ever.
"I opened this way, I planted this tree, if you want to cross it from here...... Damn, don't run!" Joshua smiled at Simon, fiddling with his sabre. But before he could finish speaking, Simon had already fled with the box in his arms.
Joshua chased Simon all the way to Sunset Plains, southwest of Flamechase City. At this time, both of them were already panting.
"You...... You...... Don't run, give ...... Stop!" Joshua pointed to Simon.
"Stinky boy, don't think you're a bully Uncle Simon. Simon stood up and found that Joshua was chasing after him, and Geraint and the others did not follow together, and suddenly a hideous smile appeared on his face. "Haha, now the imp is yours alone, see if I don't clean you up properly!" Simon threw the box on the ground, drew his sword and rushed at Joshua.
"Hey, you ugly man with a big mouth, let's see how good your Uncle Joshua is. Joshua raised his sword to meet him with no fear on his face. The weapons of the two collided together, rubbing fierce sparks.
"Good boy, it's so much better than the last time I was in Mallory!" Simon laughed.
"It's good to know, don't hand over the box obediently. ”
"Die!" Simon shouted, and a powerful fighting spirit burst out from his body. Simon has the fighting spirit of the top Bronze Horseman, and once made Joshua suffer in the Battle of the Misty Trench. However, now Joshua's strength has been greatly improved, and this Bronze Knight-level fighting spirit can no longer put any pressure on him.
"Hey, I'll do too!" Joshua stimulated the fighting energy in his body, colliding with Simon's fighting energy. The weapons of the two intersected, and the fighting spirit counteracted each other, presenting a stalemate.
"Damn, when did this kid have the same level of fighting spirit as my Uncle Simon?" Simon's hand holding the sword was trembling, and his face showed a look of struggle.
"Uncle Geraint told me that against this ugly man with a big mouth, you must find a way to use your fighting spirit to win. Because he has more combat experience than me, if he enters the competition of swordsmanship, he is likely to fall behind. Joshua clenched his sword tightly.
"We've been at such a stalemate that I'm going to lose when Geraint's gang arrives. Simon knew that if he and Joshua continued to fight here, the situation would only turn out against him, so he quickly backed away and distanced himself from Joshua. After a moment's respite, Simon suddenly picked up his speed and hurried forward to launch an onslaught on Joshua. Simon's sword rained down on Joshua, who fended off Simon's attacks with the swordsmanship taught by Geraint.
"Isn't your swordsmanship terrible, kid! If I'm not mistaken, that traitor from Geraint taught you, right?" Simon shouted as he brandished his sword.
"Don't say that about Uncle Geraint, he's not a traitor!" Joshua became furious when he heard Simon's slander against Geraint. He raised his sword and launched a counterattack against Simon, but Simon was no idle person, using his dexterity to skillfully dodge Joshua's attack.
"Boy, you're still too young, die!" Simon observed a huge hole in Joshua's waist as he attacked, and stabbed him with a sword.
"Ahh However, he found that the sword in his hand did not pierce Joshua's body, but was blocked by a hard object. It turned out that Joshua had been hiding the fragments of the Holy Sword in this location. At the critical moment, the fragment of the Holy Sword blocked Simon's fatal blow for Joshua.
"I'm glad I listened to Uncle Geraint, otherwise I would have died. Joshua patted his chest, rejoicing in his luck.
"What's the matter, what's wrong with my sword?" At this time, Simon found that his long sword was completely wrapped in an invisible energy after stabbing Joshua in the lower abdomen, and he could not remove it no matter how much he pulled it.
"Huh?!It seems that the fragments of the holy sword are resonating with the fighting spirit in my body again!" Joshua smiled slightly, picked up the saber and slashed at Simon. Seeing this, Simon immediately abandoned the weapon in his hand and quickly jumped back. At this moment, the longsword suddenly lost its restraint and began to fall, and Joshua saw this and aimed at the longsword with a kick. "Hey, hey, give it back to you!"
The long sword flew towards Simon like a bow and arrow, and Simon couldn't dodge it and was directly hit in the head by the hilt. Joshua seized the opportunity, holding his sword in both hands, and leaped towards Simon's head. Simon hurriedly picked up his original long sword and blocked it upward, and the huge momentum shook Simon's arm numb. Joshua landed on the ground and kicked Simon hard in the chest. Simon flew out and fell heavily to the ground. Simon got up and just wanted to fight back, when he found that Geraint had chased him.
"Damn, you're ruthless! We'll see. Simon dragged his weapon, covered his chest with one hand, and the wolf fled.
"Hahaha, uncle, I'm waiting for you!" Joshua grimaced at Simon's back.
"Joshua, are you alright?" Gerantte ran up to Joshua.
"Hey, Uncle Geraint, I beat that big-mouthed ugly man. Joshua said excitedly, "He dropped the box and ran." ”
Having succeeded in snatching the chest, Joshua eagerly opened it, and inside was a golden shard that emitted a faint holy light. Seemingly instantly, Joshua was once again surprised to feel a warm current surging out of his body. "It's like I'm like the pieces on my body! I feel the same power in it. Geraint noticed Joshua's change and a faint smile spread across her face.
"Joshua, be careful!" Suddenly, a boulder fell from the sky and almost hit them.
