Chapter 33 The blood tastes like snow
The burly squire knight came to the dead squire knight.
He knelt on one knee and took off his helmet, revealing his beastly white tiger ears. The orc's cat-like eyes showed a sad look.
"Let's go, brother."
"I will go back and tell your motherland that you are worthy of the name of a knight. I will tell your mother that you were very brave in the battle. I will tell your grown-up daughter that you have always loved her."
The orc grabbed a handful of bloody snow and sprinkled it on his brother's face.
"Now, I will kill that man and avenge you."
The cold and ruthless snow wind blew, and the orc knight's white hair fluttered in the wind. He smelled the blood in the corpse in his nose.
There is a smell of snow in the blood.
It would be better if I were a pure-blooded orc. Even if I would be more discriminated against, my stronger sense of smell would be enough to find the enemy's traces earlier.
He put on his helmet again, took a deep breath, and looked at the soldiers around him.
In fact, due to the invasion of the enemy's hinterland, the cold weather, and the long-distance raid, the morale of the Rhea soldiers also dropped significantly.
"I know your mother."
The Orc Knight's voice was loud, and all the soldiers looked over.
"Your mother is just like my mother. She hopes that we will thrive, tolerate our mistakes, and educate us to progress. Now it's time for us to repay our mother."
"The mother's name is Rhea. Her flesh and blood in the south were taken away by the Syat people. I can hear her crying and talking! I think you can hear it too!"
He roared loudly, and everyone present was excited for a while!
"We will win! Long live the Rhea people! Long live the Meyer family!"
The morale was boosted again, but a haze appeared on the serious face of the Orc Knight. If the man wanted to escape, it would be easy.
He didn't want to escape, but wanted to kill the Rhea people here.
The Orc's eyes suddenly lit up. No, maybe the man wanted to lead them away. What was the purpose? Could there be a "real goal" in the jungle?
Is the thing that the Meyer family wants to find really on that man? Or is it carried on the remaining group of people?
His tiger eyes narrowed quietly, and the anger in his eyes was not concealed.
Lord Baron Burlat will stop those people. What he has to do now is to avenge his brother and kill that despicable bastard!
——
Despicableness is a necessary means of survival in war.
Perhaps, except for survival itself, everything in nature is unnecessary.
Lucius often heard the sound of flintlock guns in his ears. Those soldiers shot into the surrounding snow from time to time, and then immediately loaded bullets, for fear that someone would suddenly emerge from the snow.
He did not hide in the snow again, but climbed a fairly high tree and waited motionlessly in the bushes for a new opportunity.
When ordinary Rhea soldiers passed by, Lucius did not move at all. The target he wanted to kill was always very clear, that is, the knight extraordinary in the enemy team.
As long as the two knights are completely eliminated, the opponent's morale will quickly decline, and the rest of the people will not be a concern.
Those ordinary Rhea soldiers in front of him are like children facing adults. He can gradually eat away and kill each of them.
The perfect opportunity came earlier than Lucius expected.
The half-orc knight was alone and out of sight of many soldiers around him. He came to the nearby area to search alone and would soon pass by here.
Lucius could see that he was very cautious. He dared to move forward after observing the snow around him in advance. Almost every step was like stepping on thin ice.
Opportunity, a rare opportunity is coming.
The rune cannot be opened again. It is necessary to be careful and alert enough to seize the opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow.
Finally, the half-orc knight came under the tree. Lucius took a deep breath, his muscles tensed instantly, and he jumped down suddenly!
He waved the sharp blade in his hand with the help of the dive force, trying to cut off the enemy and the helmet together with a fierce chop!
The flow of time began to slow down.
This means that the knight discovered Lucius and released hostility at the same time.
He felt an extremely strange state, he was falling very slowly, a normal person would never experience such a slow fall in his life.
The weapon of the Orc Knight was not a saber, but an extremely heavy blade, but he did not choose to block or attack, but his body rolled to the side very slowly.
Oops!
He was very alert and reacted very quickly, and the first blow that was sure to kill was off!
Lucius shouted in his heart that it was not good, and even at the moment of landing, his heart almost sank to the bottom, because soldiers with flintlocks and sabers were coming forward from all directions.
They did not let the Orc Knight be too "alone", but just patiently waited for possible emergencies around.
Lucius suddenly realized that the Orc Knight was deliberately searching alone to attract attacks, and he knew that his next target would definitely be him!
Using himself as bait!
What courage and courage!
But it is this kind of enemy that is the most troublesome. Lucius's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He completely ignored the Rhea soldiers who were gradually coming up and raised his sword without hesitation to kill the Orc Knight.
He must be killed!
The flow of time returned to normal.
"Ah!"
The Orc Knight who rolled on the ground stood up with a roar, swung the heavy sword at Lucius, and the two weapons collided with each other and made a loud sound.
"Zheng!"
The two people who were fighting in close combat were too close, and those soldiers did not shoot immediately, but many Rhea people had already drawn their sabers to kill him.
Lucius knew that in less than five seconds, those Rhea people who rushed over would kill him.
No more chances!
"Sword dance!"
Lucius consumed his spiritual power again, and the speed of swinging the sword with both hands increased several times instantly, and the Orc Knight also showed the blood power of the Warcraft "Wind Spirit Bird", and suddenly increased his reaction speed.
The blades staggered, and the backhand attacked again, the blades collided, and the bodies staggered, and the snow on the ground splashed up. The two people's frequent attacks and defenses were carried out in the most dangerous way at super close distance.
Distance, time, force, as long as the difference is a little bit, it will cause one side to die.
Less than three seconds.
"Ha!"
Both sides shouted loudly at the same time, and their offensive became more fierce and vicious, their eyes were full of naked killing intent, and almost endless resentment!
Only attack, no defense!
Lucius's sharp blade accurately cut the right eye of the Orc Knight, and his left abdomen was torn open by the blade, and the bright red and hot heat continued.
He seemed to have no feeling at all, and roared back and cut off the Orc Knight's right arm holding the weapon.
The balance of victory and defeat tilted, and the Orc Knight didn't care about the large amount of blood sprayed, and roared loudly without hesitation.
"Shoot! Shoot! Kill me too!"
The crowd hesitated, although it was only a moment, but their respect for the Orc Knight commander led to the worst result.
Lucius' eyes flashed with purple light, and he suddenly used the repulsive power of the "protective rune" again! The cooling time is finally over!
"Bang!"
At this moment, an explosion sounded overhead, and a large amount of accumulated snow and fog on several trees fell and dispersed, instantly turning into a white veil covering the visual range of ten meters.
Yes, from the beginning, Lucius left two alchemical explosives on the tree trunks to create an environment that would facilitate escape!
For a moment, the people of Rhea could not see the figures in the snow and fog clearly.
Then someone fired the first shot, and then everyone fired together. They subconsciously lowered the muzzle of their guns in order not to accidentally hurt their own people on the opposite side of the encirclement.
When the veil-like snow and fog completely dissipated, Lucius disappeared, and everyone saw only the half-orc knight kneeling on the bloody ground with wounds all over his body, with a pair of unwilling tiger eyes.
