Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 110
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 110]
“This…this…” John restrained the horse’s head, and the guards around him were dumbfounded, unable to understand the situation in front of him.
Under the destruction of the three monsters, the noble army was defeated like a mountain, and flags fell into the formation one after another. The surviving soldiers had no courage, and shouted to turn around and run away. Unwilling to fight, he turned around and ran towards Baron John.
One of them stayed on the spot to eat the corpse, one quickly ran into the forest, and the other chased down deserters.
The demon that was rushing and chasing was very strong, covered with a demon shell, with a diamond-shaped head, full of fangs, and a bright yellow flame tongue protruding from it.
Just like a frog sticking out its tongue to catch mosquitoes and flies, it quickly sticks out its slender tongue when it attacks, swings it among the fleeing soldiers, and quickly sweeps away the last few. Falling to the ground, the armor melts, the flesh burns, and in a short time it turns to ashes.
It is a middle-level demon, and Ciel judged that it is difficult to name this kind of demon, because I don’t know which demon prince it follows, or which demon god it is.
The middle-level demons were one level higher than the little demons and the big demons. They could be regarded as real demons, and one of them was equivalent to an army of 100 people.
“Mmmmm—” John was so frightened when he saw the flame-tongued monster chasing after him, he couldn’t speak clearly, “Kill it! Kill it!” He pointed his sword hard at the demon.
Ciel turned his horse’s head, not intending to continue entanglement here.
“Where are you going?” John turned his head to see that Charles was about to leave, and shouted quickly, “Don’t run! Don’t retreat!”
“You are not my lord and have no right to order me,” said Ciel.
“I’ll give you money! I want you to join the war!” John wanted to urge the horse to escape, but the mount was neighing anxiously, so uneasy that he didn’t dare to move.
“How many?”
“100 gold! Say yes!” John begged.
The guards beside him bit the bullet and rode their horses towards the demon, but when they got close to a certain distance, the horses panicked and shook their heads, some turned and fled, and some even threw their masters off their backs.
The flame tongue demon approached quickly, spit out a flexible tongue, and the whip-like long tongue slid through the air like a scorching blade, quickly melting the soldiers’ bodies.
“Not enough.” Ciel looked at the flaming tongue demon, it turned, noticed Baron John, and immediately sped up to charge at him.
As the demon approached, John’s mount screamed, his eyes rolled, and he fell to the ground in fright. He even smashed Baron John to the ground. He was covered in armor and suppressed him. He screamed: “You I’ll give you as much money as you want! Save me! Save me!”
“500 gold,” said Ciel.
“I’ll give you a thousand gold coins! Help me!” John’s scream was heart-wrenching.
“Wouldn’t it be better to give it earlier?” Ciel patted his fury. He was very calm. Even if the demon approached, he showed full courage. He didn’t retreat or panic. Instead, he confronted the demon with equal courage. Rare mount.
He looked at the demon and shouted from a distance, “Get closer and you will die.”
“Roar!” The demon quickly spewed out a tongue of flame towards Ciel, coming very quickly.
“Nuin’s edge!” Ciel released a sharp spell, and a silver light slashed out in an arc, hitting the tongue, immediately cutting it in the air, the broken tongue flew to one side, fell to the ground, and the flames were exhausted. Destroyed, returning to its original charred demonic form.
Losing his tongue, the demon looked very anxious and painful. Half a broken tongue kept swinging, waving his claws on the spot, trying to intimidate Ciel, not wanting him to get close.
Ciel approached with his horse, and the demon saw Ciel approaching, and he was ready to attack at any time, to shoot down Ciel from the horse, or kill the horse directly.
Ciel didn’t give it a chance. He was still about ten meters away from it, and immediately stretched out his right hand toward it. An orange arc burst out from the scorched black ring, and an astonishing fire gushed out from it, engulfing the demon’s body.
If you like to burn mortals, then die in the fire as well.
Charles thought to himself.
The demon was infected by the giant flame in the scorched black ring, and the whole body was instantly drowned by the flames. It screamed and rolled on the spot immediately, trying to put out the flames, but the fire was difficult to be completely eliminated. Floating away into an illusory soul, the black soul hidden in the demon continued to pour out, all of which flowed into Ciel and was swallowed by Gladiu.
It feasted and continued to eat.
“Is it enough as an appetizer?” Charles asked in his heart.
“It tastes bad.” Gladius has a picky appetite.
The flame-tongue demon shouted just now as if calling for a demon companion. The demon in the distance looked up and saw the situation here. It was obviously a little surprised, and roared to retreat. The farmers wanted to take advantage of the victory, but they gave up and just lowered their heads to snatch. Loot, scramble to collect the weapons and armor left by fallen soldiers.
“Hu… hu… hu…” John finally got up and stared at the messy battlefield in front of him, obviously unwilling to believe what he saw and heard.
The remnant soldiers panicked and retreated to him, looking at the wreckage of the demon on the ground in panic.
After the camouflage was burnt out, it revealed the original black and strange huge shape, which looked very ugly.
“What the hell is that?”
“My God! My God!”
“terrible……”
“Woooo…”
The soldiers were still alive with blood, and their hearts lingered, and when they saw the bones of their companions in the distance, it was even more sad.
The tip was true, the local villagers were really summoning demons, and Ciel glanced into the distance.
The villagers had the demon as cover and continued to clean the battlefield with peace of mind, dragging away the bodies of their companions, rescuing the wounded, and leaving the remains of the noble army to the crows.
He walked to the wreckage of the demon, Gladiu used its power to gather these remaining demonic substances, condensed into liquid, and kept collapsing. Ciel stretched out his hand to hold them, and Gladiu secretly absorbed them, it looked like he was absorbed by Xia. Er took the same.
“Where did it go?” John swallowed as he watched Ciel’s actions.
“You don’t need to know.” Xia Erzhao came over in anger and got on his horse, “We should go.”
“Go? You…you have to destroy that monster! That’s your duty!” John pointed to the demon on the edge of the forest in the distance, and there was another one deep in the woods.
“The people around you are too frustrated. Half of them died in the battle. I’m afraid they don’t want to continue the battle.” Ciel’s eyes swept over those terrified faces, thinking that they had only heard of the evil name of the devil, and now the supernatural monster appeared in person , many people will fall into a nightmare from now on.
John cursed loudly, but knowing that Ciel was telling the truth, he quickly mounted his horse and gathered the remnants of the army to retreat to the camp.
The journey was miserable, the living were depressed, the wounded wailed, the dead were covered in blood, and John’s face was extremely gloomy.
The downtrodden knight was guarding the camp, and seeing John returning with the exhausted army, he was naturally very surprised. He repeatedly asked what happened, but John had no intention of answering and dismissed it casually.
“Let’s go back to the castle,” he murmured. “Let’s go back to the castle.”
“Go back?” The poor knight was surprised, “The peasants will destroy everywhere, and we have to alert the village.”
“We can’t fight those monsters. They are terrifying and huge.” John shuddered. “We have to pray day and night, and we have to write letters to warn the surrounding lords, and then ask them for assistance.”
“Monster? What happened to you?” The Lost Knight couldn’t understand the situation.
“Scary things…very scary…maybe…demons…” John took a deep breath, and when he heard the name of the demons, people around him changed color.
“It’s very simple.” Ciel shrugged, “As you said before, give me a thousand gold coins, and I can help you solve it.”
“…” John gave Ciel a disgusted look, “You bastard… a thousand gold coins, it’s your fault.”
“You said it,” Ciel said calmly. “You said it yourself when you were beaten to death on the battlefield, and only I could help you.”
“At that time, things were urgent, and sometimes I didn’t choose to say anything.” John shook his head, “I don’t have that much money to give you, but I will give you 100 gold coins at most, which is also a huge sum of money. Be content with you! Come back to the castle with me, and I will take it. You have the money, and you have to work hard.”
“Oh, no, everyone, ask for your own blessings.” Ciel rubbed his chin, “I’ll go and see what the people in the countryside are talking about. Walking in the countryside is more interesting than dealing with nobles.”
“Damn it, first it was a troll, and now it’s you! You won’t let me have a good day off! You don’t even want 100 gold coins?” John shouted, “Don’t be too self-righteous.”
“You might have to die for this when you were young, but now… it’s just a little money.” Charles disagreed, “Are you sure you can fight them?”
“When Earl Chris sends troops, these farmers and… monsters… are nothing to be afraid of.” John gritted his teeth, as if he had not lost his composure as before, and after regaining his senses, he began to regain his self-confidence.
“Good luck.” Ciel wished them sincerely, hoping that they could defeat the country demons with their own strength.
“Don’t run away! You bastard! You have to fight with us! Do your duty!” John yelled.
Ciel turned a deaf ear, he stepped on the angry, and rode away, preparing to go to the neighboring villages and towns.
Regarding the source of the demon’s summoning, he still has to investigate.
Chapter 136 The Beast in Color Clothes
When the innkeeper saw that Ciel was a foreigner, he was going to charge him an extra 5 copper coins. When Ciel showed his knife, he was honest and recommended a beautiful girl to Ciel.
The girl is young but experienced, and both of them are familiar with each other and feel each other’s experience.
Charles slept for a while, then woke up in the middle of the night to see her drinking secretly. After drinking, she sat at the table and cried while looking out at the gray moon.
Xia Er also followed her gaze and looked out, the sky was cloudy, with accumulated clouds, scattered stars, and different colors.
He felt thirsty, got up and took the jug, and took two sips himself.
She turned her head to notice Charles, startled, and put down the glass in her hand tremblingly, terrified.
“It’s nothing.” Ciel waved his hand, “Drink as much as you want.”
There were insects chirping outside, intermittently, louder than louder, making people uneasy.
He pushed the window open, leaned against the window, and looked out at the dark countryside. Someone was patrolling the streets with torches, wearing leather armor, a hood, and a spear on his back. He looked very imposing.
They had just defeated Baron John’s forces, and the rebellion was in full swing, and in the next few months, if unhindered, they would have formed a force large enough to besiege Limbiang.
Siege is one thing, storm is another.
Charles thought.
They didn’t know how to make a siege machine, unless they let the demons smash the door, but the defenders could easily kill and kill at that time, and hundreds of archers fired three or four rounds…
Long-range projection, even I can’t bear it. Thinking of this layer, it is inevitable that there will be more thoughts. Unless the black devil armor is extended to cover all parts of the body, it will be another devil completely.
“What’s your name?” Charles asked her.
“Rania,” she replied weakly.
“How has the recent war affected life?”
“…Dad and brother were taken away,” she said uneasily.
“They are recruiting soldiers, are you familiar with the leader?”
“…Are you from the nobles?” Rania didn’t dare to answer casually.
“I serve myself.” Charles rubbed her. “Okay, answer my question.” He put two silver coins on the table.
When she saw the money, her eyes lighted up: “It’s the brothers of the Baniesta family.”
“What do they do? Ordinary farmers?”
“The Baniesta family is very powerful. In the village of Hulen, they have been wandering in various villages for the past few months, agitating everyone to oppose the war tax.” Rania explained.
“Have you heard that they are summoning monsters? A terrible thing. After they appear, they are specially covered with colored linen and paper tapes to hide their original images.”
“You said beasts in colorful clothes,” Rania smiled, “they are here to protect everyone.”
Her smile made Charles suffocate.
“…Protect everyone? Who told you?”
“Everyone said that, the beasts in colorful clothes can defeat the knights. That’s how it was yesterday.”
“It was summoned by those from the Baniesta family?” Ciel asked.
“Yeah, I…I’m not sure,” Rania whispered. “Don’t you like them?”
“I wouldn’t have given these man-eating monsters such cute names.” Ciel shook his head.
“No, it won’t be like this,” Rania said nervously. “If you eliminate them, we will lose.”
“What if you win?”
“…We can allocate more land and live in the castle.” Rania guessed nervously, “We can get the money from the nobles’ families, and those servants and slaves will no longer have to work for others, the title deed And the deed of sale will be torn up, and we will no longer have to pay taxes…”
“Sleep, rest.” Charles lay back on the bed, his hands on his chest.
“You won’t kill the beasts in Caiyi, right?” Rania got into the bed, her body was a little shriveled, but still tender.
“No.” Charles lied.
“The beasts in colorful clothes will come to the village tomorrow.” Rania said, and Ciel’s heart skipped a beat.
“Okay, I see.” He pulled her into his arms.
It was hard for Ciel to believe what Rania said.
He had known history. Loman farmers rebelled from time to time, but after they killed the nobles, they would neither distribute the land nor the property to the public. They would only become local upstarts and arm more people. Continue to fight with the surrounding nobles, and all the slogans and creeds of the early days of the rebellion will be forgotten after taking power.
“Weak, very weak, and stupid…” Gladiu was dissatisfied with this.
“Maybe they’re strong enough to change? What if they end up in a war, burn to the west coast, and become the new king?” The Shire wasn’t sure, as nothing like that had ever happened in history.
In 350 of the Second Era, during the reign of Gerald III “The Incompetent”, many farmers in the Qinghe area rebelled, but at most only half of the province’s land was conquered, and they were quickly annihilated by the southern nobles.
“They are peasants…Even if they take the throne, they will only build a peasant dynasty… Their greatest ideal is the same as yours, which is to have more money and women. They have no power…”
“What does it mean to be powerful?”
“Becoming a god…becoming a god of this world is the only way out…then they can turn the world around…and build their ideal paradise.” Gladiu sarcastically sarcastically, “but between the farmer and the god, How far apart is it? Everything is a petty fight, and their struggles are meaningless. They can only prove how incompetent they are. History will record this moment when the incompetent united and attacked the steel nail wall.”
