Chapter 87: The Dark Shadow (4)
Just as Will had said that, the knight suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of black eyes full of murderous aura! Two snow blades were pulled out from under his pants, and they almost jumped up from the spot!
"You give me this zhanzhuβ!" Will shouted, quickly drawing his sword, but the knight had already scurried past him, straight in the direction of his front.
Standing in front of Helena, Ain was completely stunned and stood there, motionless as she watched the other party run up, she never thought that things would turn out like this. The fierce black knight showed his blade and held the tip of his sword to his chest, ready to deliver a fatal stab wound to the female knight who was in the way, piercing her heart!
He could see that the chain mail worn by this female knight named Ain belonged to the kind that was worn with him, thinner than ordinary combat armor, although the effect of fighting and slashing was remarkable, but the piercing damage was very fatal - this was also a helpless thing, who would wear such heavy armor all day?
"Drink------" Will, the adjutant who was left behind him, saw the other party slip past him, turned around at random, raised his long sword above his head, stepped forward, roared and slashed down in the maximum arc -- the knight's special long sword, whether it was the thickness or length of the sword spine, was not comparable to different infantry swords, and the sharp tip of the sword just slashed the back of the black knight!
"Uh-huh-!!" The pain came from behind him violently, but it didn't make him cry out the pain--the thick leather armor and the long cotton armor lined with it, and the distance was not short, so that Will's long sword only scratched his skin. But this short pause was enough for the adjutant.
"Remember your duty, Knight Ain, draw your sword and protect Her Highness Helena!"
Will's cry woke Ain, who was standing still, and the girl immediately drew her sword from her waist, blocked the fatal blow with the shield on her left arm, and then protected Helena behind her, stabbing her own sword!
Before the black knight could swing his second sword, Will behind him had already walked up, and the ferocious slash forced him to block with all his might, and the front and back attacks of the two knights made the "black knight" in a dilemma.
Just as the two of them were about to kill this "daring" guy on the spot, the black knight suddenly slammed to the ground, and the two swinging long swords converged in mid-air, making a piercing grinding sound. The black knight, who had escaped the disaster, no longer wanted to step forward, but took advantage of the gap to roll down the stairs in front of the main seat from the two of them, and then quickly got up and escaped from the almost empty hall.
"Catch him!" Ain shouted loudly, chasing a few steps only to find that there was not even a single knight guarding in the entire hall, and looked angrily at Will behind him: "What about the knights of the Knights of Dawn?!There is no one to guard in the hall of Weishenme?!"
"The knights of the guard hall have all been sent to the Savencro Fortress, and the other knight squad should have just received orders to guard the hall and hasn't come here yet - that guy has picked a time when our defenses are most lax. Will responded, then quickly turned and fell to one knee in front of Helena: "I'm so sorry, Your Highness Princess, for putting you in such a dangerous situation. If you can, please punish you. β
"A dastardly assassin isn't necessarily more dangerous than a battlefield, Will. And haven't the valiant knights already beaten him away?" said Helena, still smiling. Hearing this, Ai Yin couldn't help but blush.
"I'll take someone to get him back, he won't be able to escape!" Will immediately stood up, turned and walked towards the door of the hall: "Ain, go and help Her Royal Highness back to the bedroom." β
"Don't underestimate me, I'm a knight too!" Ain glared back at Will, "That daring arrogant man, I want to let him know the fate of the intention to assassinate the princess!"
"You are the personal bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, many times...... Especially your gender allows you to be protected by Her Royal Highness the princess all day long. Will looked at Ain solemnly and said, "Protect Your Royal Highness, that is your oath, isn't it? You hold the Radiant Cross Banner in your hand, it is not only your right, it is also your duty and responsibility! Don't forget your duty, Knight Ain!"
With that, Will strode out of the halls of Haringos Castle. Aine gritted her teeth, quickly inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and walked over to Helena, who was still sitting in her seat: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. β
After saying that, Ain helped Helena to stand up, but she suddenly let go, and quickly grabbed Helena's waist so that the other party did not fall - Helena, who seemed to be extremely calm, couldn't even stand up.
"Don't let go. Helena bit her lower lip and glared at Ain, who was holding her, "I don't want others to see me so timid!"
"Yes, Your Highness. Ain hurriedly nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but smile on his face: "You are really very brave, really-different from that kind of knight's bravery, it is another kind of bravery. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
When Will left the castle with a few knights and a dozen servants guarding the castle, he found that the whole street was in chaos--the crazy black knight, as if to vent his strong dissatisfaction after the failure of his mission, the toppled stalls, the axles of the wagons, and the crowd of onlookers............ Let these guards look at everything in front of them in confusion.
They are quite experienced in defeating enemies on the battlefield, and they are also quite experienced in protecting the adults who value their status. But how to pursue the enemy in the chaotic streets, they really have not experienced -- this kind of thing, which is generally the responsibility of the city guards, and there is no need for these selected war elites to know these messy things.
"My lord, what should we do?" One of the servants looked at Will in confusion, "Do you want to wait, and we'll think of a way when Lord Terenus returns?"
"When Lord Terenus returns, do you think we'll have a chance to catch that guy?!" Will asked rhetorically, "All ready, ten people are going to cordon off the streets around here, and the rest are going to act with me--remember, you must catch him alive!"
"For the Radiant Cross-!For Pendragon-!!The Knights of the Dawn Onward-!!"
The knights, who had received the order, immediately began to split up, rushing into the streets and alleys, probing in all directions. The rest of the men followed Will and set out down the crowded street.
It has to be said that in the town, destroying traffic with all kinds of roadside things is really a very useful and convenient way to hinder the pursuit of the enemy. Will almost "threatened" a path with his sword, and the servants behind him were also struggling to follow him, desperately squeezing their way out of the crowd.
"Get out of the way! We're chasing the enemy; get out of the way! β
"Damn!" Will cursed, feeling like he was chasing the enemy on the battlefield, but he was surrounded by civilians he couldn't cut. He still doesn't know exactly where the enemy is, not even his exact direction!
"Lord Will, over here!" a stiff message from a nearby street rekindled Will's hope, and he hurried towards the opposite side with a group of men, accidentally knocking over more stalls of small vendors.
"Over there, sir. Following the guidance of his knights, a figure that Will hated to the point of never forgetting came out of an alley, and it was obvious that he had also spotted Will and his party, and after glancing back, he continued to flee, but this time he seemed to have chosen the wrong escape route - he rushed to the central avenue of the town, where business was strictly forbidden and there were no people.
"In the name of Rome. β
However, before Will could give the order to continue the pursuit, a group of neat footsteps came, and the captain of Carlo United, dressed in military uniform, walked over from the side of the road: "What the hell are you doing?! This is Haringos, please at least follow some basic rules." β
"That guy intends to murder His Highness Helena!" Will almost shouted, "Someone wants to destroy the peace in the North!" β
"This request is accepted!" Carlo nodded, and held out his hand to the soldier behind him: "Give me a javelin"
Carlo, who had the javelin, first ran quickly in a few steps, then stopped on the avenue and threw the heavy javelin into the air. An arc with a vibrating sound streaked through the air.
"Ahh The sharp head of the spear pinned him to the ground, and even the sharp blade in his hand fell to the side.
"Xiexie!" Will hurriedly thanked him, and hurriedly ran over: "Take him back to the castle dungeon, we need to find out who instructed this guy!"
"Oh my God, there would be someone who would want to assassinate His Highness, who is so crazy? Don't you know that the princess is already the maintenance of the northern zuihou?" Will cursed secretly: "It's incredible!"
"Your Excellency, Lord Will. β
"What for?" Will turned his head impatiently, "Do you want me to teach you how to escort prisoners?!"
"We found this, you should be interested...... Hu whispered, "It's the weapon used by the assassin." β
"Weapons?" Will raised an eyebrow and took the snow blade from his squire's hand, the familiar shape making him blurt out!
"Roman sword?!"
(Unexpectedly, the results of the author's investigation turned out to be the highest feudal system!) I thought everyone liked the imperial system.) It's really empty...... I don't know what to say, but although there are few, there are people who support the republican system, which is quite surprising. οΌ
