Heart of the Castle

Chapter 323 Kingdom mission, buried in the dusk
Earl Enix behind the bushes felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart. In the series of violent attacks that completely suppressed a great knight commander just now, the tall figure did not display his fighting power at all!
This is an unimaginable gap in strength. No one knows Wilder's thoughts, because just after the tall figure's next blow, the great knight commander was overwhelmed by the brilliant sword light that fell from his head.The power of this sword was so great that Wilder's entire upper body, together with the long sword in his hand, was torn apart like a tree hit by thunder.

Near-death screams came from the other two directions. The other two guard knights did not have the skill of Wilder, and were quickly drowned in the swarming assassins. The sound of sharp axes cutting bones and muscles It didn't last long with the screams, and then it fell into silence.

"Have all the members of the mission been wiped out?" The voice of a tall figure sounded.Then a brusque voice answered him, "It's all done, boss, and in the name of the Black Triangle, we've cut all the necks off, whether he's alive or dead."

"Take away all your belongings, but don't forget to leave something belonging to White Wolf's subordinates." The tall figure ordered, and then asked, "Have you found the body of His Excellency Earl Enix?"

"Enix... Earl?" The answering voice hesitated for a moment, "Brothers don't recognize any earl, but according to your instructions, all the corpses have been checked, and it seems that no older ones were found."

"Isn't he among the corpses? Let him escape, or hide nearby...Huh? Spread out and investigate thoroughly!" Perhaps because of hearing his name, Earl Enix's breathing became a little heavy, Perhaps it was because the tall figure was keenly aware of the eyes watching him from the bushes.In short, the tall figure suddenly made a slightly surprised sound, and then waved his hand, and the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded, and the assassins carried tomahawks and spread out to search in all directions.

Earl Enix held his breath, he wasn't sure that he had been discovered, at this moment, getting up from his hiding place and running away rashly was the most stupid choice.However, the tall figure walked straight towards the bushes where Count Enix was hiding. At this time, a beam of moonlight fell from the gaps between the branches and leaves, and happened to shine on the face of the figure, which made Count Enix look genuine. absolutely.

It was a rather young and handsome face, with extremely sharp facial features and a natural strong expressive force. This kind of expression that could be called sharp, combined with his pair of amber-like golden eyes, even if he didn't It will make people feel scared, and it will also produce a certain degree of jealousy.

The clothes on this person are a long cloak that noble knights usually wear, the color is as dark as the cloak of death, only the neckline and cuffs are turned out with blood red lining, and many delicate patterns are embroidered with golden silk threads on it; Inside the coat was a tight white top with two rows of golden buttons shining in the moonlight; the trousers on the lower body were as dark as the long cape, gathered into a pair of long combat boots that almost reached the knees.This kind of attire made this person extremely handsome and heroic, but compared with the metal armor, the defense was almost non-existent.

It would not be uncommon for such an outfit to appear at a dance party with rich clothes and temples, but here is a bloody battlefield where life and death have just been fought, so this person's attire is too strange.

Earl Enix's pupils suddenly constricted, because he had fully recognized the identity of this person and the meaning of his presence here!
"Father God! This person is... the subordinate of Count Gregor Clemennon of the Magic Mountain family, the first branch commander of the Death Knights, the Death God's scythe, and the sword-bearing Lord Tomad Jansen!"

Count Gregor Clemennon, the patriarch of the Devil's Mountain family, is known as the Black Death, and the Knights of Death under his command are the most destructive among the four knights in the Kingdom of Arthur.However, although Earl Gregor is famous, he is more like a warrior who charges into the battle than a commander who strategizes. In fact, the training and command of the Death Knights are all in the charge of his four sub-heads.Because of his pair of uniquely colored golden eyes, this Thomas Jansen was revered as the Lord of the Eyes. He ranked first among the four sub-heads, and he was the veritable uncrowned king of the Death Knights.

Earl Enix was sure that he was hiding well, but when the boots of the Lord of the Eyes Tomard stood still outside the bushes, and at the same time the great sword that was shining with brilliant fighting spirit was also raised high, he knew that he was hiding. It has been completely exposed.In the next instant, the thunderous sword light tore through the bushes, and before the sword light fell, Count Enix rolled out on the spot, escaping from the sword light very dangerously.

"Stop! Thomas Jansen! Do you know what your actions mean?" Earl Enix stood up and said in a stern tone, at the same time, a cold shudder ran up his spine.Although Earl Enix's skill is extraordinary, he is far from being as old and weak as he has shown, but this does not mean that his strength is comparable to that of the great knight commander Wilder who has died tragically.

The stupidity of using the long dagger of the body to resist the great sword of the Lord of the Eyes is not even considered.

"Of course I know that attacking the Kingdom's mission is tantamount to rebelling against the Kingdom of Arthur. If His Majesty Arthur XII finds out, he will be willing to cut off my head with his own hands, right?" Let Count Enix's heart sink all the time.

"So, Count Gregor is determined to want my head?" Count Enix said with a slightly trembling voice. He felt the breath of fear blowing past his ears and forehead, and there suddenly appeared Cold sweat broke out. "Why, why would he do this?"

"Oh, do you want to know the reason, Earl Enix?" A cold light flashed in the golden-yellow eyes of the Lord Gnaw Eyes, "The reason is very simple, His Excellency Earl Gregor hates your posturing, so I want to kill you!" about you."

"That's unreasonable!" Earl Enix couldn't believe his ears, what an unimaginable reason, it didn't even have the slightest rationale, it was just like a clumsy joke.However, in the next moment, the sword light pouring down like a waterfall of light filled his field of vision, and the Lord of the Eyes had already used his actions to prove his words without any false meaning.

Earl Enix suddenly burst out his battle energy, and the strong light of battle energy wrapped around his body, but instead of thinking about how to resist or counterattack, he jumped back and retreated, reluctantly dodging the sword.The tingling sensation in his chest told him that if he was hit by the Lord of the Eyes, he would definitely be turned into a piece of flesh.

This idea completely dispelled what could be called courage in Earl Enix's heart. He let out a scream, aimed the long dagger in his hand at the eyes of the Lord of the Eyes, and at the same time turned and started to run away.

The big sword in the hands of the Lord of the Eyes easily flicked away the flying long dagger, and the light of the sword extended forward, bringing a bunch of blood on the body of Earl Enix, who turned around and fled. The latter's movements froze. In an instant, but immediately recovered, and drilled towards the depths of the dense forest at a faster speed.

Compared with the skills that had barely reached the level of a grand knight, Count Enix was more confident in his mind and communication skills, but in front of Lord Thomas Jansen, his tongue was completely useless.Stopping now to fiddle with the tongue will only make him die faster and worse. Earl Enix knows this very well, so he fled between the bushes and thorns in a panic, and his body and face were scratched. The bloodstains can't be taken care of, and the image is really embarrassing.

The footsteps of the Lord of the Eyes followed closely, and the sword light lit up from time to time, cutting off the thorns and branches blocking the way, and at the same time illuminating the panicked figure of the fugitive.If this kind of pursuit continued for a few more minutes, Earl Enix would surely die in the hands of Lord Gnat Eyes. Yan Biao's terrified screams sounded, and Earl Enix's body suddenly disappeared.

Tomad Jansen rushed forward, and the place where Count Enix disappeared was a bush of black thorns, with a few crumbs and bloodstains from the Earl's expensive coat hanging on it. It can be seen that at the last moment, Count Enix wanted to He stretched out his hand to grab these thorns, but he couldn't support his body.

A deep fault fissure appeared behind the black thorn, and there were traces of Earl Enix's trampling and cracking on the edge. The fissure was pitch black, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.Lord Gale Eyes stood there quietly, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something, and not far below, Earl Enix, who was blocked by a few twisted tree roots in the crack, desperately suppressed his panting , surrendering the hope of escape to the shadow of darkness.

When he heard the footsteps above his head gradually receding, Earl Enix, who felt that he had successfully escaped, finally felt at ease. The scars on his back suddenly ached with burning pain, coupled with exhaustion and panic, made him limp and limp on the roots of the tree. The top of the natural mesh bag.

It seems that Earl Enix escaped the pursuit by luck, but this is not the case.

"Forgive your life, because your life has a more important role." The Lord of the Eyes whispered silently in his heart, and the brilliant fighting spirit light on the big sword gradually faded, and then slid into the scabbard at his waist. "Be my pawn and cry to those stupid important ministers. It's best to anger that stupid dragon and let him come out of the safe lair of Firmeyer. In that case, the contamination My great sword with the blood of the dragon will surely be even more brilliant!"
