Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 47 Escape

But not far away, the figure of Knight Fitz made people feel heartbroken.

He was pierced by a spear from a knight in the castle, his body hanging limply on the spear tip, blood gushing out and dripping onto the cold ground, leaving a dark stain.

This tragic scene made everyone present gasp for air, and also made Robin feel grief and confusion. What on earth was the reason that caused the knights in the castle to kill each other?

"Knight Fitz and Knight Malizzi teamed up to assassinate the lord. Now the lord has ordered that you strangle Malizzi with all your might. Whoever kills Malizzi with your own hands will be rewarded with two knight-level secret breathing potions and Malizzi's original fiefdom." Balin, the captain of the castle knights, stood on the steps of the castle and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Hearing such a generous reward, many new knights were instantly tempted, and the temptation of benefits made them forget their fear and doubts.

The leader was Sylvan, who was usually ambitious and eager to stand out. At this moment, he could not contain his inner excitement. He roared and rushed towards Malichi like a hungry wolf.

Behind him, a group of knight apprentices also rushed forward and surrounded Malizzi.

Knight Malizzi looked around at the group of people who were blinded by interests. He felt sad and angry, but also helpless.

In this situation where public opinion can melt gold, he knows that even if he has thousands of words, he cannot clear himself of this false accusation. He can only hold tightly in his hand the long sword that has been with him for many years, and prepare to fight his way out with all his strength.

As the battle was in full swing, Malizzi's eyes inadvertently swept over Robin and Thompson.

Although Robin didn't say a word in that deep look, he understood it instantly.

"Take Thomson and run away quickly." This silent exhortation was full of Malizzi's concern and expectations for them.

Robin knew that the situation was critical and there was no room for hesitation.

He turned suddenly, grabbed Thompson's arm, and ran desperately to the other side.

During the hurried escape, Robin was always worried about Eric.

Eric hadn't seen his friend since he was summoned to the castle.

Witnessing Malizzi's miserable condition, Robin felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He guessed that Eric was probably in great danger.

Sylvain brought his men to stop Malizzi in a threatening manner, hoping to capture him by relying on his superior numbers and obtain the generous reward.

After all, Malizzi is a master in the late stage of knight, and his strength should not be underestimated.

He moved as fast as lightning, waving the sword in his hand tightly, and broke through the encirclement of Sylvan and others in a few strokes.

Sylvain missed his attack and became angry.

His eyes turned, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he changed direction with his men and ran towards Maliqi's house.

He had a plan in mind, intending to capture Malichi's family as hostages to force Malichi to surrender.

That ugly face looked particularly ferocious in the moonlight.

Robin pulled Thomson and ran all the way. In a panic, they bumped into Sylvan and his group near Malizzi's house.

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and the eyes of both sides met, filled with hostility and astonishment.

When Sylvan saw Robin and the other two, he was stunned at first, then a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You came at the right time, so I don't have to look for you again. Maybe that old man Malizzi will show up for you two little brats." The knight apprentice behind him also laughed, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the silent night.

Robin thought to himself that something was wrong, but he quickly calmed down.

He protected Thompson behind him, his hand unconsciously reaching for the Damascus steel sword at his waist. He glared at Sylvan, "Sylvan, you despicable villain! You did such a despicable thing for your own selfish gain. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

When Robin met Sylvain here, he immediately understood what Sylvain was planning.

Sylvain snorted disdainfully: "Stop talking nonsense, you two are my hostages today. Once Malizzi is captured, all the generous rewards will be mine. If you know what's good for you, surrender yourself, or don't blame me for being ruthless." After that, he waved the sword in his hand, and the cold light reflected from the sword illuminated his greedy and distorted face.

Thomson hid behind Robin, his body trembling slightly, but he still pretended to be calm: "Robin, what should we do?" His voice had a barely perceptible tremor, which was particularly obvious in this tense atmosphere.

Robin tilted his head slightly, looked at Thompson with a firm gaze, and whispered comfortingly, "I'll stop them later. You go back and take all the Knight Commander's family away."

Robin was extremely clear-headed at this moment. He knew that the safety of Knight Commander Malizzi's family was of vital importance, and they must be transferred before Sylvan and others took action.

"How can you stop them alone? Sylvan is a formal knight." Thompson suddenly became anxious, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

He knew Sylvain's strength, and he also understood the great danger Robin faced by doing this.

Robin was anxious and slapped him on the head. "Stop talking nonsense, go quickly, I will find you soon."

This slap was delivered with a touch of anxiety and unquestionable determination.

He knew that there was no time for further explanation at this moment, as every second depended on the life and death of Malichi's family.

Thomson was a little dazed by the slap, but looking at Robin's determined eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Be careful!" Then he turned around and ran towards the side door of Malizzi's house.

Robin took a deep breath and slowly drew out the Damascus steel Tang sword from his waist. The blade flashed a cold light in the moonlight. He stood on his horse with the sword drawn, facing Sylvain and a group of ferocious knight apprentices behind him alone. There was no fear in his eyes, and there was only one thought in his mind: he had to kill people.

Sylvain had a mocking smile on his face, looking at Robin with disdain. "Robin, do you think you can stop us by yourself? You're really overestimating yourself."

Robin's face was stern, and he held the Tang sword firmly in his backhand, "Then you try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd came out impatiently.

Dain could no longer suppress his inner restlessness, and his face was full of excitement to try.

"I've been annoyed with this kid for a long time. This is a good opportunity for me to test how strong he is." He shouted and swung the chain hammer in his hand. The chain hammer whirred in his hand, and the iron chain rubbed against the air, making a sharp whistling sound, like an awakened beast, foreshadowing the upcoming attack.

Sylvain nodded slightly. As an official knight now, he believed that he should have the style to match it.

He folded his arms and took a step back, as if he was enjoying a good show that was about to begin, his eyes full of leisurely watching a good show.

Dyne said no more, shouted loudly, swung the chain hammer and rushed towards Robin.

His footsteps were quick and heavy, raising dust with every step. The chain hammer in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air with a whistling sound, aiming directly at Robin's vital points. He looked so aggressive, as if he wanted to smash Robin into pieces in an instant.
