Sword Sorcery

Chapter 324 Castle
"Bruce (Aaron)?!"

The two exclaimed each other's name in unison.

Apparently none of them expected that under such circumstances, they would accidentally run into their former 'acquaintances'——

"Bruce is still alive?!"

Aaron looked at the burly man on the stairs. If it wasn't for the face that was no different from his memory, he would have thought he had seen a ghost!

Bruce, a strong knight who was in the same team as Aaron back then, showed his hidden quasi-knight strength when facing the invasion of Earl Bell, and successfully killed a large number of enemy soldiers.

Later, he and Aaron became the only two survivors in that group of soldiers. After beheading Earl Bell's invasion team, they rushed back to Viscount Steve's castle overnight.

Later, Aaron found out Viscount Steve's secret and escaped with him through the secret passage.

At that time, the situation in the castle was also quite urgent, and everyone only cared about their own safety, so Aaron didn't know where Bruce was.

However, looking at him, he seems to be doing well?
Aaron took a look at the opponent, passed the chip scan, and found that Bruce's strength has reached the formal knight stage. It seems that Bruce has been doing well in recent years.

Sure enough, as soon as Bruce appeared on the stairs, the soldiers in the hall raised their glasses and greeted him flatteringly:

"Boss, are you feeling refreshed now?"

"Hey, with the boss's ability, he may not be happy, but the wine seller must be 'cool'!"

"Haha, no wonder I felt the ceiling was shaking just now, so it's the boss's credit!"

Words of flattery sounded out, as veterans of the city guards, they knew how to flatter their bosses, and they would not be too flattering to arouse the other party's disgust.

However, their flattery was on the horse's leg, because Bruce ignored them at all, went down the stairs directly, and sat next to that 'noble young master' under their unbelievable gazes!

"Boss, have two more butter beers and put them on my account!"

Bruce greeted the bald boss, regardless of the other's 'painful' expression, turned around and looked at Aaron again, suddenly laughed and said, "Aaron, I didn't expect you to be alive!"

Hearing this, the bald boss and the soldiers in the hall froze in place, and re-examined Aaron:

"It's not right, this guy seems to know each other with the boss, he can't really be a local?"

"Don't be kidding, that commoner can get a female knight guard? I'll bet you three silver coins, he is definitely the heir of a great nobleman!"

"Just bet!"

Soon, there was a burst of private discussion in the hall, and all the topics were focused on the 'noble young master'.

Seeing this situation, Aaron teased Bruce: "I didn't expect you to be alive and doing well—at least, your subordinates look quite 'lively'."

Bruce couldn't help but froze, turned around and roared at the others——

"Quiet!"

After all, Bruce has been the captain for many years, and he is also very prestigious among the soldiers. He yelled like this, and immediately quieted the others.

Even some unrelated passengers were frightened and ran back to the upstairs room, not daring to stay in the lobby any longer.

"Hey, I really made you laugh."

Bruce raised the hot butter beer, offered a toast to Aaron, and Aaron also raised his glass, and the two drank it at the same time. Then, Aaron took the lead and said, "You actually became Earl Bell's My subordinates even got the position of a captain, hey, it seems that your methods are pretty good."

Obviously, Bruce should have surrendered to Earl Bell when Leo Castle was breached by the enemy. However, this kind of temporary refuge in the past is usually arranged by them as a 'vanguard' team.

The so-called vanguard team, to put it bluntly, is a group of cannon fodder teams responsible for charging. Their casualty rate is extremely high, and there are absolutely very few people who can survive to the end of the war.

Bruce was able to survive such a dangerous situation and become a captain. It can be seen that his means are good enough.

"No, I'm just lucky."

Bruce made a modest statement on the surface, and the smugness at the corner of his mouth revealed his true thoughts. However, he changed his subject: "Aaron, how did you escape from the castle back then? After I surrendered to Earl Bell's army, I didn't I didn't see your figure."

Aaron knocked on the table and said with a mysterious smile: "I escaped from the castle by using an underground passage, and then I went to other places. Of course you can't find me."

"So that's it." Bruce suddenly realized, "Later, we searched the entire castle and found a secret passage all over the castle. It seems that you used that to escape from the castle."

As he said that, Bruce looked at Aaron carefully again, but he couldn't see through the real strength of the other party, so he couldn't help feeling a little dignified in his heart——

"This Aaron, what kind of strength is he now?"

When Bruce was a quasi-knight, the strength of the opponent was slightly higher than him. Now that three years have passed, Bruce is even more uncertain about the true strength of the opponent.

Even though Bruce himself is already an official knight, the scene of that year is always circling in his mind, the red-eyed boy with surprisingly strong sword skills.
Aaron seemed to see through the other party's inner thoughts, but he didn't take the initiative to break anything. Instead, he raised the refilled wine glass and said with a smile: "Don't talk about the past, the two of us are destined to meet, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Bruce didn't think about anything else anymore. After he drank his beer, he suddenly brought up another topic: "By the way, Aaron, why did you come to Doron Town?"

"We were just passing through the town of Duolong. We originally planned to go to another place." Aaron replied truthfully.

But Bruce heard a message in the other party's words, and couldn't help asking: "Huh? Didn't you come here alone?"

"Of course not, I have another female companion."

While Aaron was talking, there was a sound of light footsteps upstairs, so he stopped talking, raised his finger and said, "My female companion has come down."

Bruce followed his gaze, his eyeballs bulged suddenly, and a ghostly expression appeared on his face——

"An Ange"

"Miss An Geli?!"

a few days later,

A large group of soldiers rode ordinary fast horses, galloping all the way on the flat road, and in the center of the team were three people riding white wildebeest and ordinary wildebeest - among them, a pair of young men and women with exquisite appearance were riding white wildebeest, and the other was riding white wildebeest. People are riding ordinary brown and black wildebeest.

They were Aaron, Angeli, Bruce, and a large group of soldiers under Bruce.

Soon, Bruce gave an order——

"stop!"

Then, Bruce explained to Aaron: "The front is near Cooper Castle."

Aaron looked in the direction of Bruce's finger, and when he relied on his sharp eyesight to see the situation in the distance, his face changed, and his expression turned into a solemn expression——

because
The distance is surrounded by a white mist!
