Sword Sorcery - Chapter 72

[Chapter 72 The original vow (Chapter 2 in 1)]

(The two chapters are combined into one, which is equivalent to the third update today, adding a new chapter for the book friends who do not buy gold, I really thank you for your support, I am very moved. . . . tears)

At this moment, Tyler, Rowan, and Vonn, a total of three peak knights have gathered!

With Aaron’s will, Rao couldn’t help but the corners of his eyes jumped, and a despair-like emotion emerged in his heart…

However, Aaron immediately suppressed this emotion, raised the cross sword without hesitation, and took advantage of the brief opportunity of Tyler and Rowan to be attracted by Von’s appearance, and attacked first——

“It’s not over yet, even if it’s impossible, I will fight for it!”

Aaron screamed frantically in his heart, and the movements in his hands were non-stop. At a rotating angle, the cross sword stabbed Tyler fiercely with the surrounding spiral rain flowers-because Tyler was the most consuming of the three. , and Vonn is still a little far from here, he must seize this last chance!

However, Tyler seemed to have anticipated Aaron’s attack for a long time, and raised his hand with an orchid-shaped sword skill, blocking Aaron’s stabbing long sword.

At the same time, Rowan also slashed with a tacit understanding, forcing Aaron to roll sideways to avoid the sword slash again.

At the same time, Tyler came close, and slashed Aaron with another sword——

boom!

Aaron raised his long sword in a hurry to resist the attack, only to see a surge of energy rushing along the long sword frantically, Aaron’s face suddenly changed, and the whole person was hit by the impact force and stepped on his legs. Glide on the muddy ground, and directly draw two deep ravines along the way!

Pieces of grass clippings and muddy water splashed everywhere, like a land that was run over by hard-working oxen!

However, before Aaron could breathe a sigh of relief, Von quickly rushed to the battlefield with the physical fitness of a peak knight, and immediately took out his long sword and slashed at Aaron!

Bang~!

Aaron reluctantly raised the sword slash that blocked Fu En, but Fu En, who was in his prime, was overwhelmed, raised the cross sword high in his hand, and continuously slashed towards Aaron——

Bang bang bang!

A series of explosions erupted, and Aaron resisted Von’s violent killing with all his strength, while resisting the momentum by constantly stepping back.

At the same time, Von saw that Aaron seemed to be a little weak, and suddenly laughed: “You run~! You continue to run~!”

“Cunning little mouse, aren’t you very good at running? Keep running!!!”

With the words of venting his anger, he saw that Fu En stepped on his feet again, and the whole person chopped down with all his strength, vowing to split Aaron into two pieces!

boom!

Aaron reluctantly raised his long sword to block the blow, but there was a faint crack on the sword. At the same time, the crack gradually spread like a cobweb, and it seemed that he could not bear the impact!

“Could it be that this long sword is going to…”

The next moment, Aaron’s pupils shrank slightly——

Bang bang!

After a long and fierce battle, the long sword in Aaron’s hand finally couldn’t hold it any longer, and it exploded completely at this critical moment!

The scattered pieces of iron that flew out, streaked through the majestic rain and brought a splash of water, and the silver-white iron mirror reflected the complex expression on Aaron’s face——

“Damn…why at this time?!”

Aaron didn’t care about anything else, he rolled around to avoid Von’s attack, got up and dodged sideways to avoid the vertical slash that Tyler was chasing, and retreated for a distance.

Ordinary iron long swords cannot withstand the energy instillation of knights for a long time. Although Aaron’s infusion of life aura is not as strong as that of real peak knights, it is not something that iron swords can withstand for a long time!

Especially Aaron and Taylor,

Rowan and Fuen fought fiercely in series, which had already exceeded the limit of ordinary iron swords – finally, the cross sword completely exploded just now, turning into a pool of fragments and sputtering out.

This means that Aaron has lost the last weapon in his hand and the tool that can resist the enemy, which means that he can no longer use his proud ‘sword skills’——

Again, this pushes Aaron into the abyss of death…

Because Taylor and others knew that Aaron was almost certain to die, they were not in a hurry to persecute him in person, so as not to be bitten by him.

I saw that Taylor made a gesture behind him, and several soldiers hidden in the forest in the distance immediately raised a large crossbow – this is a siege crossbow!

Just now, when Aaron and the three of them were fighting together, they couldn’t use it, but now…of course they can!

“Prepare…….”

The soldiers hiding in the forest pulled the bowstring together and shouted in unison:

“Five…four…three…”

………….

The rain is still pouring down,

A drop of water fell on Aaron’s body, and a trickle of water droplets ran down Aaron’s hair, the skin flowed down, and then continuously merged into the puddles on the ground, forming a small pool.

“Have I reached such a point of exhaustion?”

Aaron raised his tired face covered in mud and rain, and looked at Taylor and the others, who seemed to be looking at dead people in the distance. He clearly wanted to move, but he couldn’t find a reason to keep moving. ……

“Not only have I lost my weapon, but my body has reached the point of ‘exhaustion’, what else can I do?”

“If it’s just physical fatigue, you can still grit your teeth, but you’ve lost even the last weapon, what else can you use to fight the enemy? Teeth?”

Aaron felt that the steaming heat in his body was constantly weakening.

The rain kept beating on my body, and a thought subconsciously surged in my heart: “It’s so cold”

Instead, it is the icy touch brought by the cold rain, as if it represents the ‘death’ that takes away life, and is constantly drawing the heat energy from Aaron… much thermal energy.

At this moment, Aaron looked up at the direction of the forest as if aware of it, and murmured in his mouth:

“I’m sorry, Angeli…I…I didn’t keep my promise…”

“I…have tried my best…have…have…”

Intense tiredness kept pouring into his brain, and even Aaron’s eyes couldn’t help but want to close——

“I’m tired enough”

“Shoot~!”

With the roar of the soldiers, the sound of a bowstring being pulled exploded, and a heavy iron arrow with a terrifying air-breaking sound shot to Aaron who was standing in an open space—

call out!

!

Starwind Lake

A large group of carriages stopped by the lake, and everyone gathered on Viscount Steve’s carriage. A torrential rain cracked the roof of the carriage, which made some people feel even more anxious. ——

Angoli was sitting on the carriage pedal, looking sadly in the direction of Aaron, occasionally looking anxiously at the chronograph pocket watch in her hand, her legs swaying constantly showing her inner restlessness and impatience.

At this moment, Steve glanced at the pocket watch and said solemnly, “It’s been an hour. If Aaron wants to come over, he should be here long ago.”

As if hearing the meaning of Steve’s words, An Geli looked up at Steve in disbelief, only to see Viscount Steve standing up and shouting as expected in the next moment:

“I’m afraid Mr. Aaron has ‘sacrificed’, we’re going now…”

“Can’t!”

An Geli exclaimed anxiously and retorted without hesitation: “We haven’t seen Aaron yet, how can we conclude that something must have happened to him? We can’t just leave him like this… ”

“Then do you plan to send the team back to save him?!” Viscount Steve interrupted unceremoniously: “Don’t be joking, everyone here knows very well that Aaron may not be able to make it!”

“If you continue to wait here, you will be joking with the lives of our entire team!”

Hearing Steve’s words, Steward Jerry, Mrs. Lacey and Soldier Green lowered their heads one after another, as if tacitly acquiescing to Steve’s words.

Seeing this scene, An Geli couldn’t help shouting: “Why? What do you mean? Obviously Aaron helped us delay the pursuit, but now you are leaving him there… ..”

“That is why!”

Viscount Steve once again interrupted An Geli’s questioning and said solemnly: “It is precisely because he helped us hold off the pursuers that we can’t live up to his efforts!”

“If we were to go back and save him, we would definitely push everyone back into the abyss, which would be a waste of Aaron’s efforts. I believe he wouldn’t want to see such a result!”

After that, Viscount Steve softened his tone towards Angeli and said warmly: “Lily, I know he is your first man, so you will feel that you will never forget him, but—don’t forget that he was What’s wrong with you!”

When Angeli heard the words, her body trembled and she lowered her head involuntarily, as if recalling the ‘bad’ treatment she received in Aaron’s carriage and Aaron’s compulsive behavior towards her.

When Viscount Steve saw this scene, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and continued to persuade:

“Don’t forget, Aaron forced you into his car at the beginning. If he hadn’t forced you through the situation, you wouldn’t have done the same, right? In other words, these are all things he forced you to do. What happened is not your ‘original wish’!”

“In the end, you just have some hazy feelings about him because of ‘that incident’, it’s not that you really can’t forget him.”

“People always have a glorifying effect on the first time, no matter how bad it actually is”

Viscount Steve’s words are not unreasonable. On the contrary, this is an explanation that is quite in line with the status quo – very in line with Angeli’s situation.

In this regard, Angeli still kept her head down, and her silent gesture of not saying a word seemed to acquiesce to Viscount Steve’s words.

So, Viscount Steve’s smile became even more gratifying, and he persuaded in a gentle tone: “My daughter, you still don’t understand the rules of survival among nobles. When Aaron uses the situation to force you, why aren’t we using it? He protects us? It’s just an emotionless ‘deal’.”

“Now that Aaron has successfully completed his mission – he managed to get what he wanted and then paid the ‘price’ to protect us, we don’t have to owe him anything, it’s just a deal.”

“It’s all just a ‘deal’, not a real relationship.”

If you look at it in essence, it seems that there is indeed a ‘deal’ between Aaron and Angelique, and there is no other agreement involved, so there is nothing wrong with Steve’s words.

“Besides, if we go back now, the chasing troops that even Aaron can’t solve can’t do anything with our strength. If the entire carriage team falls into the enemy’s hand, I am afraid that waiting for your end will definitely be a game that cannot wake up. It’s a ‘nightmare’, presumably about this, Lily, you should be very clear…”

After speaking, Steve reached out and patted An Geli on the shoulder, looked at An Geli who had been keeping her head down and kept silent, and said with relief: “Lily, I know you can’t accept this kind of change all of a sudden, this is normal. , you go back to the car and have a good rest~, I promise you will forget him in a few days, by the way-”

Steve turned his head and said to everyone, “Let’s wait another five minutes. If we don’t see Aaron again, we’ll set off immediately – we can’t continue to stay here and take risks.”

This proposal was approved by everyone, and everyone began to pack up their things one after another, leaving only An Geli, who had been bowing her head silently, sitting on the carriage pedal, while Steve looked at An Geli. At a glance, after Wen Yan reassured again, he turned around and returned to his carriage.

Viscount Steve entered his carriage, lay down comfortably on the chair, and waited for the next carriage to depart. However, just two or three minutes later, there was a sudden noise outside.

“What’s the matter, why is it so noisy? What are the people outside doing?”

Just when Steve wanted to get up and go out to find out, Butler Jerry rushed in in a hurry and said out of breath, “An… An Ge… An Ge Miss Li…”

“Miss Angoli quietly rode the only horse and ran back while we were not paying attention!!!”

Viscount Steve’s face changed greatly, and he rushed out of the carriage and looked up, but he could only vaguely see the end of his line of sight——

A steed carrying a petite figure, constantly bumping and undulating in the pouring rain, gradually disappeared into the rainy curtain…

Seeing this, Viscount Steve immediately stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, as if there was nothing he could do about it, because even the peak knights couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the horses really galloped—

Because the speed of the knight’s burst is only faster than that of the horse, and the speed of the long-term running is definitely not as fast as the horse, which is why Aaron asked to keep a horse.

However, Angeli and Viscount Steve were so far apart that Steve couldn’t keep up with her.

Thinking of this, Viscount Steve couldn’t help but stomped his feet and cursed in a low voice—

“This idiot~!”
