Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 154

[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 154]

The squires are the followers of the knights, some of them are strong and reliable ordinary people, and more are young nobles from other families, who are sent to the adult knights to learn noble virtues.

It seemed that it was extremely dangerous now, so Garnier ordered them all to go into battle and perform their duties as servants.

Very nice… Ciel looked at them, ornately decorated, numerous, menacing, with helmets covering their faces, seriousness.

In the event of defeat in the war, Ashtree Hall would be decisively destroyed.

The flames of war are spreading across the land, most people will die, some will survive, the Ashtree Hall sanctuary collapses, the king under the control of the king of darkness will enforce his will without hindrance, starting from Lorman, throughout other countries , and even the whole world.

There are two factors that determine the outcome of the war. One is the number of knights, which is related to the success or failure of the frontal battlefield. The bad thing is that the Knights of the Hammer of Loman are willing to support the king. All of their members are knights with superb martial arts.

Many nobles handed over their second and third sons, who did not have the right of inheritance, to the Knights, so that they gave up their worldly authority and devoted themselves to serving in the Knights, studying hard and practicing the virtues of Loman.

These unofficial knights of honor are by no means weaker than real knights.

The position of the Knights should be against the king, Ciel mused, but they have sided with us in the war. Why is this?

Could it be that in the past two years, the Knights have changed again, internal members have been replaced, and the new leader has decided to pledge allegiance to Eduardo?

In that case, we have more enemies.

Another key to victory and defeat is the match between supernatural forces, if I can find a chance to use my full strength and eliminate the envoys, dark wizards and demons hidden in the king’s army, the balance of victory will be tilted in our side again. , I am confident to provide a very significant impact.

Ah, if I could use a spear, ride my fury and slaughter all over the battlefield, that feeling…

“Master?” Elijah reminded Ciel, “We’re here.”

“Arrived? Where?”

“border.”

Ciel stood up from the carriage and looked at the flags of Yuwan Hall on the grass in the distance. The Wave Dragon Flag of the Ruiwei family swayed endlessly in the wind. About two or three hundred cavalrymen were displayed on the border with a serious attitude, without taking a step. Ash Tree Hall boundary.

Someone is building some border fortifications, is it too late?

Charles gave up hope.

Rocher had joined the army before and took over the command of the entire army. She took off her helmet, held it in her arms, and rode towards the people of the Ruiwei family, followed by Garnier and some other nobles.

I can’t miss it, Ciel flipped off the edge of the carriage: “Let’s go and see what everyone is talking about.”

Ciel saw Roses Reeve head-on, and he was now in high spirits, riding on a tall horse, wearing a gold-trimmed steel breastplate, and the shoulder pads were large and exaggerated, making one wonder if he could move his shoulders freely. There is also a layer of chain armor under the armor, multiple protection, almost invulnerability.

“Lord Loxis.” Garnier greeted him.

“Respected Count Garnier.” Losses also responded politely, “How many soldiers and horses did Ashtree Hall bring?”

“Five thousand light infantry, six hundred archers, seven hundred heavy infantry, and three hundred cavalry,” Garnier explained.

“Yeah.” Losses nodded, “We are twice as many as you. In any case, if we join forces, there is always hope to touch His Majesty Eduardo.”

“The Ruiwei family is willing to uphold my honor, and I am grateful for that.” Garnier sighed.

“It is the duty of the monarch to protect his vassals. My father will not allow His Majesty the King to swagger through the Yuwan Hall. My father once made an oath with Earl Rene that once you are in danger, the Wave Wave Dragon will never sit back and watch.” Luo The Sith spoke arrogantly.

Mentioning Count Rene, Garnier looked a little uneasy on horseback: “I am very grateful.”

“Get up, we have a battle to fight, my father refuses to burn the war to Yuwan Hall, our harbour is separated from the castle, if we decide to retreat to the castle, the harbour built by a dozen generations of people will be destroyed. I can’t afford such a price… I have to fight in the wilderness.” Loses turned his horse and led them into the boundary of Rain Bay Hall.

For the king’s army, siege is the absolute last resort. Relatively speaking, we’d better defend the city, but the Yuwan Hall has a special structure. The rich towns under the hills are almost undefended, and there are no defensive fortifications to rely on. .

Charles pondered.

In this way, plunge into the bloody land battle…

“There are tens of thousands of souls waiting for me to devour!” Gladiu was ecstatic, “One step closer to recovering his power!”

Lonely ghosts are scattered on the battlefield, waiting for the devil to capture and burn, this feeling is actually a bit bad.

The vast number of peasants were called up, and because of their ambition to become kings, they were forcibly driven to the battlefield, and they attacked people they never knew.

“The commander of my army is Lady Rocher of Gloomy Castle.” Garnier introduced Losses.

“We are led by my father,” said Loses.

“Yes, I will be respectfully restrained by Lord Gregory.” Rocher saluted on horseback.

Duke Gregory Rivi, Charles remembers the rumors that he was not a good man, he was sullen and only trusted his own ideas, he often sponsored art exhibitions and art exhibitions in the Rain Bay Hall, but during the exhibition, he would Visiting in high spirits, destroying all the works of art he disliked, and people cursing him for his bad virtues.

But it is such a person who is willing to stand up when the king’s army arrives.

“Charle.” Losses turned to see him, “You’re here too.”

“I don’t want to leave my hometown if I can, but I’m brave enough to stab the king,” said Ciel.

“This battle is related to the future situation of Luoman Kingdom.” Losses was surprisingly serious, “You guys, don’t let down the expectations of the Ruiwei family, and give me all your strength. If we win, you must know that we will Started the history of Lohman.”

“Could it be…” Garnier was confused.

Losses nodded inexplicably.

Ciel didn’t know what they were talking about. He turned to see that Elijah was a little nervous.

It’s okay to be nervous, this is the best time to exercise your courage.

At this critical moment, we must learn to be patient and finally win.

Chapter 195 Yuwan Hall

Yuwan Hall is aptly named, the clouds are gloomy and the bay is wide.

Compared with the gray tree hall harbor, it is hardly worth mentioning, and there are basically no merchant ships willing to berth in the gray tree hall.

Ciel rode along the coast, with only Elijah following him.

Looking around, I saw that the wide port was full of ships, long dikes stretched out from both sides, and seven iron chains were pulled in the middle. The fire continued to burn, completely blocking the way.

Duke Ruiwei is trying to let people win and lose with himself, leaving all the ships behind to save the citizens and members of the chamber of commerce from escaping, and to intercept a large amount of supplies.

“What did you see?” Ciel pointed to the ships locked in the harbor, wondering how Elijah would judge.

“…a dozen large sailboats, seven small boats.” Elijah counted the number of boats. He is a child who likes to pay attention to details, and I don’t even bother to count.

“Why are they neatly stacked in the harbour?”

“Pulling the chain…” Elijah saw the cross-sea chain that locked the port’s access to the waterway. “What is this?”

“Prevent the king’s navy from entering the harbour.” Ciel pointed to the watchtower on the causeway, which was equipped with large ballistas that could project far away, “and then the local ships could not escape, showing his determination to fight to the end.”

“Why did Duke Ruiwei decide to help us?” Elijah was confused.

“Well, only the people in the castle know about it.” Ciel shrugged. After the group of Ash Tree Hall arrived, they quickly went to Revel Castle to discuss the details. Losses said that there were some things that would be inconvenient for Ciel to know, let him first Walk around the harbour.

These guys still ignore me.

Grani, the Knight of Charles Grani, is actually nothing.

he thought.

Being left here by the nobles made Ciel feel a little dissatisfied.

“They didn’t let you in Fort Revel,” Elijah pointed out mercilessly, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

“I am an aristocrat in the legal sense, but they didn’t accept me from the bottom of their hearts. They were worried about me. In fact, this is normal… Besides, I don’t leave my body. Once I enter the Ruiwei Castle, they must disarm me. I must not obey, and then there will be a lot of trouble.” Ciel patted the gray knife on his waist.

“It means that they are afraid of you.”

“Fear, fear is a good thing. Power comes from fear. The more they fear me, the more space they will give me to act freely. The problem is that they are not afraid enough. If I show stronger and more terrifying force, they will respect me. invited me to participate in top-secret discussions, but not now.”

I still don’t like nobility.

“It’s not good for us either.” Elijah thought for a while, then said, “We are demon hunters, and our mission is to hunt demons.”

“This is what I’m used to saying, you don’t have to be so persistent.”

“why?”

“I have too much burden to do as I want, and I have to be responsible for something. But you are still young, you have no sin, and you can live your life the way you like.”

Elijah was lost in thought.

The sun was blazing, and Xia Er felt the warm sea breeze blowing on his face. The embankment under his feet was made of rock and was cut flat. There were some delicate reliefs on the ground, which were eroded by the sea and wind, and no traces of the original can be seen.

The area near the water is dark green, and the moss alternates between the ebb and flow of the tide.

Behind them, there are a large number of houses built at random, disorganized, and obviously lacking in municipal planning. Fortunately, the styles are roughly the same, with white walls and red tiles, but they look a bit different.

The tallest building is a prostitute, with green plants covering the windows on every floor, and flowers blooming in summer.

“Do you like prostitutes?” Charles looked at the women who were sitting or standing on the steps of the brothel. They showed a lot of skin and attracted the idle sailors and captains. One woman hugged the customer and turned into the back room. A woman stepped out to take her place.

“No…don’t like it.” Elijah frowned.

“Then what do you want?”

“I crave power.”

“And I’m a little irritable.”

“What should I do when I’m upset?” Elijah was puzzled.

“Of course it’s for fun. Let’s go, I’ll take you to a place where I can relieve your boredom and you can find strength.” Ciel’s heart moved.

“Ah? What are you doing…”

“Move all the time.”

After asking for directions a little, Xia Er found the largest swordsmanship dojo in Yuwan Hall. It was a beautiful house with wide and tall walls, which seemed to cover the secrets inside and prevent outsiders from peeking.

“Rainstorm Swordsmanship.” Elijah looked at the coat of arms hanging high at the door, painted with thunderstorm weather and a sharp sword. After simple coloring, the style looked very strange.

“Did you come to ask for advice?” The swordsman at the door was arrogant.

Ciel knew that swordsmen were another link in the Loman culture. Hugo was a swordsman. They focused on the use of swords and inherited the ancient school. You can acquire a skill through hard work and practice, and eventually be discovered to serve as personal guards for nobles or shine on the battlefield.

He heard that the earliest swordsmanship can be traced to the land of the ancient empire, where swordsmanship was once quite popular. After the ancient empire declined in the drastic climate change, the swordsmanship was brought to the surrounding countries by the survivors, such as Luoman and the emerging mountain empire.

“I use a knife, I’m not a swordsman, and I’m not good at swordsmanship,” Ciel told him, his tone calm and confident, “I want my attendants to be trained here.”

“Trained? 10 gold coins per year.”

“That should be the responsibility of ordinary teachers. I hope that the swordsman masters of your dojo will teach them personally.”

The swordsman frowned: “How is that possible? The master is very busy.”

“But my followers are eager for power. If I succeed in challenging the dojo, would you agree to this condition and give him a chance? Let your master personally instruct him on a trick or two.”

“…you take you for someone.”

“Capable people. If I challenge you and win, I wonder if you will change your mind?”

“Challenge us? Arrogance.” The swordsman frowned, “We kill seven or eight madmen who come to our door every year, you are asking for your own death.”

“It’s useless to talk too much, where is the strongest among you? I want to challenge from the strongest.”

“The strongest? Hmph, pass me first.” The swordsman took out his long sword, saluted Ciel at will, and then posed at the door.

“Look.”

“Someone challenged the Dojo of Stormwind Swordsmanship!”

“There is a mentally handicapped here.” The citizens on the street watched the situation here and scrambled to get close.

“Let me teach you something, Elijah, before you fight, ask the other party’s name. Demon hunters don’t kill the unknown.” Ciel turned to explain to Elijah, “I want to know your name…”

With a cold face, the swordsman quickly stabbed the long sword in his hand towards Xia Er, very fast.

“He hasn’t drawn his knife yet, he’s dead.”

“too slow.”

“Did he not even see it?”

Ciel heard a few comments from others, and Elijah also looked surprised. Although he didn’t look at the situation, he had already judged the direction of the weapon.

In my experience, the point of sword fighting is to attack the enemy.

Ciel dodged the sharp sword sideways, quickly pulled out the gray knife, and flicked it on the opponent’s weapon, only to hear a piercing metal collision, and immediately made a gap in his sword, the weapon was severely damaged and could no longer be used for fight.
