Hunter’s Blade - Chapter 159
[Demon Hunter’s Blade Chapter 159]
The rain was like a curtain, and the blood was flowing.
Chapter 201 Endless Chaos
It’s hard to win a battle, but easy to lose a battle. Ciel and the group separated, and rode back to Yuwan Hall alone, leaving the village in a mess.
There are flames and crows everywhere.
He did not know which party destroyed these villages, and the defeated soldiers refused to return to the army, and simply fell into trouble.
The peasants had no room to surrender, and were chopped down to the ground, their bodies gradually rotting.
He passed a castle and saw the gates locked, denying refugees entry.
The soldiers panicked and hung the moon-eyed goat flag in addition to the original flag, apparently sewn temporarily to show their loyalty to the king.
The figure of the goat, stitched crookedly, looked doubly terrifying, the hollow moon-eyed staring at Charles, and no matter what angle he looked at the flags from, the goat seemed to be looking at him.
His Majesty Eduardo is staring at me, as is the Lord of Darkness.
The suffering is endless, and Ciel is unhappy, and the gloomy emotions are increasingly precipitating in his heart.
This summer seems to be extraordinarily long. He has the ability to protect himself. It is not difficult to get out of this situation. Forget the fetters here and go far away. He can’t die, and nothing can kill him, but it’s more uncomfortable than killing him. .
He clenched the gray knife, fully expecting to find some sergeants of the king’s army, kill them, and talk about the resentment in his heart.
Fortunately, he quickly found the opportunity. In the afternoon, he saw dozens of light cavalry galloping on the field, chasing a group of rout soldiers with damaged armor and low morale. As they marched head-to-head, the flags fluttered in the wind.
“More, more souls…” Gladius is jealous of fresh souls. After swallowing up a large number of dead souls in the war, its body is wider. Relatively, the amount of souls it consumes every moment is also multiply.
“People like you are already so gluttonous, and aren’t those high-level demons looking for fresh souls all the time??”
“So we have to invade one world after another… 123 billion souls in a large world can only be burned for two thousand years by a demon god.”
“And the number of your demon gods is almost infinite.”
“So I’m always fighting, always… can’t stop, once I don’t get enough souls, I have to risk fighting with other demons… burn… the souls are constantly being lost… Watching them go by, I feel pain again and again. Anxiety…Go and grab the soul! Give me the soul!” Gladiu roared.
After Ciel approached on horseback, the cavalrymen turned back to see him and let out bursts of exclamations. The black and huge rage must have frightened them.
They raised their spears and rushed to stab at Ciel on horseback.
boom!
Snapped!
Ciel swung the knife, the blade slashed the long wooden poles, chopped off the weapons of several cavalrymen nearby, and then stabbed the gray knife into their bodies.
Anger raised his front hooves, kept neighing, and moved nimbly to prevent Charr from getting hurt.
“Ah-”
“Hey—” Several people were cut off by Ciel in a confrontation, and their bodies fell one after another.
“Uh oh oh!” A cavalryman who looked like a captain charged bravely, clenching the spear in both hands, and piercing the Ciel hard.
Ciel grabbed the cloak behind him with his left hand, covering most of his body, and stabbed his spear on the cloak, making it impossible to penetrate the white deer fur any more.
Immediately, Ciel swung the knife with his right hand and slashed at the opponent, slitting his throat.
A gust of hot blood splattered on Ciel’s head, the smell of blood poured into his nostrils, and blood dripped from his forehead.
He pulled back his horse and turned his head to look around, and the remaining light cavalrymen quickly fled in all directions, seeing the fighting strength of Ciel, and without avenging their comrades.
Charles rode to the side of the defeated soldiers and shouted loudly: “Where did you come from?”
“Fort Rudy!”
“Rain Bay Hall!”
“Fort Emery!” Seeing that Ciel looked like a friendly army, they quickly stopped and scrambled to report their territory to him.
They were all the names of places in and around Rain Bay Hall, and Charles frowned: “Do you know where Rocher of Gloomy Castle is?”
“Rocher of Gloomcastle?”
“Um……”
“Didn’t she go back to Yuwan Hall?” Someone asked.
“I’m not familiar with the approaching roads, tell me which direction Rain Bay Hall is,” Ciel said.
“Go there! You can see the main road if you walk twenty miles.”
Ciel took a dozen steps on horseback, and when he looked back and saw them fleeing in the opposite direction, he couldn’t help but tell them to stop again: “Where are you going?”
“We…” The defeated soldiers looked at each other in dismay.
“Shouldn’t you rejoin the army and keep fighting?”
“Hey! Hey!”
“Ah…that kind of thing…”
“We can’t do anything either…” they muttered, “Fleeing is a violation of the law, and you will be punished if you go back. It’s better to run home.”
“yes!”
“We have to figure out a way to get out of our way.”
Looking at the weapons and armor in their hands, although simple, they are enough to intimidate the villagers.
“Are you going to put down your weapons and go home, or are you going to be a pirate?” Ciel felt that the situation was not good. He felt that the beast nature of these defeated soldiers was gradually taking shape. Without the restraint of the law, it would be difficult for them to return to a regular life. go.
“Ah, ah, what is this called, my lord!”
“We are dutiful peasants and will not do bad things!”
“Yes, yes.” The defeated soldiers repeatedly begged for mercy.
“I can’t expect anything from you, but it is because of me that you saved your life today. I want you to protect your villagers and family, and don’t take advantage of others like a jackal,” Ciel ordered.
“Hey—good!”
“No problem!” They echoed one after another, seeing that Ciel had no intention of continuing to chase, and hurriedly continued to run away, burrowing into the woods, and the figure gradually disappeared.
Once defeated in war, trivial matters and sins become endless, nobles inevitably blame each other, soldiers take risks out of fear, ordinary people are affected by the disaster of war, and their lives are turbulent.
If we had won yesterday, how wonderful it would have been, Shire was in a trance for a moment, we would have chased after the victory, the king was defeated, his reputation was ruined, and all the people of Lorman rose up against him and pulled him off the throne.
I can get to the West Coast, I can find the White Wedge, construct the Vesher Project, and accomplish our hunter’s ultimate goal once and for all.
“We all have illusory visions, don’t we?” Gladius shouted hoarsely. “It’s just that the strong have everything, and the weak are submissive!”
Gladiu’s mental state is very unstable, and Ciel can feel that after absorbing the souls of the dead, countless chaotic consciousness pours into the demon soul of the blade demon, and it needs to be distracted from time to time to digest.
Forget it, it was originally half insane…
Ciel shook the blood from the gray knife,
At dusk, he rode close to a country tavern, which was surprisingly well preserved, unscathed by soldiers, and seemed to be still open, with lights on.
In order not to disturb ordinary people, Ciel dismounted early, hid the knife deep in the cloak, put all the eye-catching things on his body into the saddle bag, and then walked to the tavern.
Standing outside the fence surrounding the tavern, a child with freckles on his face, wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt and cloth pants, with a few rotten teeth, looked energetic, and looked at Ciel: “Who are you?”
“I’m here to rest, preferably a bed.”
“Goat or sea dragon?”
“hyacinth.”
“Come on.” The boy waved to Ciel, and Ciel followed him into the tavern, where three or four candles were lit brightly, and four or five men and women stood in front of and behind the counter, as if waiting for customers. Feeling nervous, maybe it’s a black shop that kills people and steals goods.
But their enthusiasm made Ciel relax again: “Welcome!”
“…” Ciel nodded slightly to them, “I want a room and leave early tomorrow.” Then he put two silver coins on the table.
“Okay!” A woman with a plump breast and broad cheeks led Charles upstairs, “The road is not safe these days, why don’t you stay for a few days?”
Before Ciel could reply, a few shouts came from the back of the tavern: “Are there any guests here?” This voice sounded familiar, and Ciel couldn’t help but be alert, as if he had heard it somewhere.
“Yes, let’s cook and prepare dinner for the guests.” The girl shouted cheerfully, then turned to Charles, “He’s our cook.”
“The craftsmanship should be good.”
“Not so good.” The girl gave Ciel a sweet smile.
If it was the peace period, Ciel would have fun, but not now, without the emotion and atmosphere.
He walked into the room and lay down on the bed, staring at the cracked ceiling.
Whether it’s a black shop or a normal restaurant, I need to rest now, I need to organize my thoughts, and then I can make the next plan, whether to continue to trouble the king’s army, or to go to Rocher, or…
Before he could fall asleep, he heard loud shouts from downstairs, and someone kicked open the door of the tavern:
“In the name of Rocher of Castle Gloom, hand over all your food and drinks!”
Chapter 202 Blood Splatter
Ciel pushed open the door and looked at the situation below through the second-story railing.
He saw a personal soldier under Rocher, who wore the lion cross emblem of Gloomy Fort, pushed open the door of the tavern, and walked in arrogantly, with a team of soldiers behind him.
They appear to be retreating from the battlefield in an orderly manner, armed with sharp weapons and ruthless, not as demoralized as ordinary rout soldiers.
“Ah…ah…”
“Uh uh…” Seeing this situation, the servants in the tavern couldn’t help but panic.
“Which side are you on now?” Gladiu was curious.
“I stand by myself.” Ciel hid his figure to observe whether the conflict below would continue to escalate.
“Be careful!” The plump maid couldn’t help reminding her when she saw Ciel coming out.
Kind girl, rarely seen.
Ciel motioned her to keep silent and not reveal his whereabouts.
The people facing each other below were all focused on each other, completely unaware of Ciel’s existence.
The personal soldier drew his sword and pointed at them: “What are you hesitating about? Hurry up!”
“We are the people of Rain Bay Hall, and Duke Gregory protects us!” said an unshaven servant.
“Damn, you are obviously allies of Yuwan Hall, why do you do such a thing?”
“Yeah, yeah!” they accused in unison.
“The covenant broke, the duke took away the soldiers and horses, and the city was closed. The king’s army will come at any time. Your supplies here will only be cheaper for the fake kings on the west coast. Why don’t we bring them to supplement the army’s salaries.” The personal soldiers frowned.
“Ah! Such a statement…”
“Why!”
“It’s just a robber!” The employees in the tavern were amazed.
“Enough, enough, stop arguing, Lady Rocher allows us to kill, don’t you want to die?” The personal soldiers threatened.
Well, this is in line with Rocher’s style, Ciel thought to himself, kill everything that hinders her from reaching her goal, and take all the materials that are about to fall into the enemy’s hands.
“Woooo…”
“Hey…” Their faces were ashen as they dawdled back.
“Hurry up!” The soldier scolded sharply.
“You know why we open a pub here?” a man behind the counter said sullenly.
“…What do you want to do?” The soldiers frowned and looked around.
