It doesn't matter what the lord is.

The sixth level of perfection, the sword energy is so sharp that it seems to be cut from a distance. If she hadn't been injured, she would have been a formidable opponent. But now, Brother Brown didn't pay special attention to her, his attention was still on Lid. This is why he chose to sneak attack Lid instead of Alayya.

In his opinion, there was always a chance to kill Alayya, but there were definitely not many chances to kill Lid. If he missed it, he would lose the chance.

As for Delis...she was implicated only because she was close to Reed. If Reed hadn't pulled someone down, she wouldn't even have noticed that there was a weakling here.

"Come out."

After a moment of silence, Brother Brown raised his hand. A moment later, a group of about twenty demons walked out of the forest.

These demons were all very strong, only slightly weaker than Goblin. Two of them were goblins, and the others were guys of other races.

Alayya glanced quickly over there and then shifted her gaze to Gobrown.

Gobron said:

"I don't know if I can kill you. In fact, if I can, I don't want to kill you. Killing you won't do me any good, but this time it's Lord Amifars's order, and I have no right to refuse."

Reed smiled and said nothing.

Brother Brown glanced at Lid, but Alayya had already moved to the side, completely blocking Lid behind him.

Brother Brown narrowed his eyes. He said a lot, but he was still unsure.

The last time, halfway through firing the gun, the man inexplicably fell to the ground. It had been fighting among the demons for many years, killing countless of its own kind, and had been nearly killed by its own kind many times. Growing up in a bath of blood, the beast's instincts had become increasingly sharp.

But now, Reid seems to have no intention of taking action.

——Could it be that he was injured?

Brother Brown felt that his IQ was not enough and he could not guess what Lid was going to do, but at present, this was indeed the best opportunity. Lid stood still, and the woman who was at a similar level to him was seriously injured.

If you don't go up now, you will really have no chance at all!

With this thought in mind, Brother Brown took a step forward, shouted softly, and instantly thrust out his spear.

The tip of the gun was pointed directly at Alayya's chest.

Alayya could have avoided it, but she didn't.

Because behind her is her young master.

Alayya also took a step forward, and the wound on her leg immediately burst open, and blood soaked the gauze. She swung both swords upward from bottom to top, crossed each other, and hit Gobrown's gun. A wave of air exploded, and the bronze gun floated upward, losing its accuracy.

The remaining two wounds of Alayya, on her back and her arm, also broke apart at this moment. Blood was dripping all over, and even Brother Brown was slightly moved. He didn't know where this girl got such ruthlessness, which was no less than that of himself who crawled out of the blood river and the sea of ​​corpses.

She didn't even frown.

The next moment, a burst of sword energy surged out. Brother Brown was forced to take two steps back and looked down at the bronze spear in his hand. That spear was not an ordinary item. It was taken as a trophy by him after several high-level adventurers were surrounded and killed by the demons. The demons' forging technology was very poor. This spear had been with him for many years and had always been his treasure.

Now, there are two white marks on the gun body. It does not affect the use, but it is particularly eye-catching.

With only a brief distraction, Brother Brown suddenly found that the woman in front of him was rushing towards him.

——She planned to use herself as a hostage to force the demons behind her to retreat!

——How could she dare to do this? How could such a weak little human have the courage to attack?

Brother Brown's face darkened, and he grabbed the butt of the gun and swung it hard. Alayya tried to block it with her sword, but she thought she could block it, but her body was not as strong as usual. She lost too much blood, and she couldn't bear it at all. Her body flew backwards, brushing against her young master and falling to the ground. When she barely got up, blood kept flowing out of the corner of her mouth.

Brother Brown glanced at Reed, meaning that she couldn't beat me, so if you can attack me, don't hide your moves now, just do it quickly.

Then it found that Reed was not looking at it at all.

Reed's eyes were all on Alayya, and Brown couldn't understand the look in his eyes, which seemed gentle, yet cold and ruthless.

Alayya had stood up, leaning on her sword, staggering forward, letting the blood fall in front of her in large clumps, and walked back to Lid step by step.

She gripped the sword again, raised her head, looked at Gobrown, spat out the blood in her mouth, and said two words incoherently:

"continue."

31. I dare not change my life

Brother Brown didn't know what he felt.

It felt hurt by Alayya's eyes and thought the scene was too absurd.

No matter how weak the goblin species is, it still belongs to the demon clan, one of the [Six Middle Clans]. It is a great shame to be afraid of a human man, so could I be scared when facing a dying little girl?

Who hasn’t repeatedly been on the brink of death?

Brother Brown adjusted his breathing and fired again.

The sword energy on Alayya suddenly changed color. Red and white intertwined, and a hurricane was set off when the sword passed. The sword energy removed the power of Gobrown's gun. He struggled to move forward against the sword energy, and wounds were cut on his body. He desperately stabbed the tip of the gun into Alayya's chest.

When the spear tip was halfway in, Brother Brown couldn't stand the huge sword energy and was blown away. He rolled on the ground twice in a mess and slowly got up. There was a big hole in Alayya's breastplate, and the blood stained the clothes inside. His thin body trembled even more violently, and he could hardly stand steadily.

Brother Brown wiped the blood off his face and stood up with his gun.

The spear missed. No one could keep the tip of the spear steady in that kind of sword wind. The closer he got to Alayya, the more the spear trembled. Although it broke through her breastplate and pierced her chest, it didn't hurt her heart, and it didn't pierce very deep.

Brother Brown felt a little regretful, as he thought this shot could kill Alayya.

It raised its gun again, and this time it attacked. It was just forced back by the huge sword energy, but it also understood Alayya's current situation. Her body could not support her to attack quickly, and the excessive blood loss made her attack and defense very slow. She could only rely on the overwhelming sword energy to suppress the opponent.

Brother Brown couldn't help but think that although the sword and the gun were not directly interchangeable, if he ate her and obtained her sword energy, his strength might skyrocket to a terrifying level.

This time it attacked very quickly. When Alayya swung her sword and released the sword energy, Gobrown no longer insisted on moving forward against the sword energy, but stopped, and the spear spun rapidly in his hand, forming a wind-proof barrier. The sword energy exploded on the spear, and the tiny sword energy occasionally penetrated the barrier and cut small wounds on its body, but Gobrown simply ignored it.

The sword energy cannot be endless, and Alayya also needs to take a breath and swing the sword again.

For Brother Brown, this gap is enough.

Alayya was halfway through her second sword swing when Gobrown's gun arrived.

An inch longer, an inch stronger, this is an immutable truth. Otherwise, why do people say that you can learn the sword for a month and the spear for a lifetime? It is not easy to practice the spear, and if you practice it well, it is indeed stronger than other martial arts.

Alayya remembered Reed telling her that people who use guns have no obvious flaws except that they generally have bad luck.

The young master also said that it was a pity that this gun was different from that gun and it was not what he was used to, so he would not teach Alayya this.

Alayya remembered that she had asked the young master, what if you meet someone with a gun, is there really no way to fight back?

The young master said, it is actually very simple, you just need to be harder and longer than him.

Gobrown approached, and Alaya slashed at its spear with her sword. But Gobrown's spear bit Alaya's sword like a poisonous snake, and the spear followed the sword. Alaya felt that there was no force on the spear, and it took away the force on her sword while flying. This feeling was like trying to catch a flexible loach with wet hands. I felt that I was holding it tightly, but it always slipped away.

In a swift attack, Gobrown's gun pierced Alaya's forearm and knocked the sword out of her hand.

Then, a bullet was pointed at Alayya's throat.

Alayya leaned back slightly, her hands rising naturally.

At that moment, Brother Brown suddenly realized that the sword she had released did not fall, but shot straight towards him!

The target is also its neck.

Its eyes quickly glanced at Alayya's face and found that she was as calm as a lake in late autumn.

Brother Brown was really a little scared, he didn't know what this woman was thinking. This wasn't a competition of who was more ruthless, it wasn't a gamble of life, it didn't matter which was faster, the tip of the gun or the tip of the knife, at this distance, even if one was a little faster, the other would follow and take the other's life.

He had absolute confidence that even if the tip of the sword sank into his throat first, he would still be able to grit his teeth and kill the woman in front of him.

It believes that Alayya has the confidence.

She really wanted to kill herself, the kind that would exchange her life for another's.

There is also a kind of ruthlessness in Brother Brown's body, because he knows that in the land of the demon clan, only by being ruthless can he gain a foothold. He must be ruthless to his subordinates, colleagues, and himself. When fighting, he must not care about his life. When two people fight for their lives, it is often the ruthless one who survives.

But that kind of cruelty is for the sake of survival.

When it really faced death, it still couldn't remain calm and indifferent. In its eyes, the four words "indifferent to life and death" were just a means to survive. At the moment when the knife tip and the gun tip brushed against each other, Gobrown remembered how he had wandered outside the gates of hell many times and finally survived. He thought of how he had climbed all the way to the sixth level of the realm with his goblin bloodline that was looked down upon and despised by others. A chill instantly crawled up his spine.

It can accept death, but it cannot accept this kind of death!

Because this is not dying for the sake of fighting for power and status, but a meaningless death, just like a big ship that survives the stormy waves and finally capsizes in an unknown ditch.

This thought instantly occupied his entire mind, and Brother Brown could no longer think about anything else. He touched the ground with his toes and his body stopped abruptly. The tip of the gun was getting farther and farther away from Alayya's throat, but the sword brushed past his neck, splashing a streak of blood.

Brother Brown covered his neck, retreated dozens of steps, and gasped heavily.

Alayya leaned on [Youlong] with difficulty, her breath was weak, but she still stood up.

“…Let’s stop here.”

Lid said lightly.

Brown raised his head and saw Lid's cold eyes. The familiar fear filled his heart again.

It suddenly understood why Reed looked at Alayya with gentle yet cruel eyes. He was training this maid with the cruel laws of nature in order to put her in a desperate situation.

That means everything was under his control from the very beginning.

The next moment, Lid laughed and said:

"Last time we met, you said you had many competitors in the demon army. Those demons should be eager for your death. If you really die like this, not only will they not feel sorry, but they will be very happy. Maybe in a few days they will buy a set of 800-shot firecrackers from humans and dance on your grave."

Brother Brown couldn't cover the blood from his neck, and blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.

Alayya's sword energy left dozens of wounds on its body, but only this sword really hurt it.

Gobrown replied with difficulty:

"I know...but I have no other choice."

32. Then there is only one answer

Brother Brown spat out a mouthful of blood foam, glanced at Aleiya, and finally shifted his gaze to Reed.

It said:

"I've said it before. If there's any other choice, I don't want to do this thankless task. Killing you is too risky, and the benefits are pitifully small. It's just like the Yuxi City back then. It was shaky and I might not be able to take it down, but the price would be too high. I might even lose myself, and I wouldn't get much in return. On the contrary, I really like doing business with you. We both get what we need."

At this point, Brother Brown shook his head, holding the gun in his hand, and said:

"But in fact, there are too many demons who want me dead. Lizardman Ji, Langyan... There are too many idiots who look down on me as a goblin and think that I should be like my kind, a low-level demon with no intelligence but only instinct. If I have made achievements, they will take some away. If I lose a battle, they will immediately add insult to injury. But because of this, I have no way out. I have stayed in Yuxi City for too long, and there have been rumors that I have surrendered to humans. Lizardman Ji has been unable to capture Yuxi City for a long time, so he naturally guessed something and sent people to fabricate a lot of information about the transaction between you and me. Even Amifars doesn't believe me that much, so he sent me to kill you. If I can't kill you, I will die too."

Lid nodded and suddenly said:

"Before, there was a group of demons following us, and we were attacked from both sides. But the strange thing is that after we defeated two wild leopard-type demons, that group of demons did not attack us, but disappeared inexplicably."

Brother Brown's face turned very bad in an instant.

It lowered its voice and asked:

"Where... did they go?"

Lid pointed to the south and said:

"It's not far. If you take our heads back, you will meet it on the way. I guess it should have used this time to recruit a lot of demons. You will be eaten up in an instant. But when you get to Amifars, you will not die from cannibalism, but from me. The demon guarding the south will fight bloody battles and chop off my head to avenge you. You will be promoted and given a high rank, and you will feel very comfortable."

Brother Brown was gasping for breath. Judging from his expression, Reed's words hurt him more than Aleya's sword.

Lid smiled and said:

"In fact, you have already guessed this. But you have no choice but to pin your hopes on a slim chance. Kill me first, then kill those guys who are trying to steal your credit, and return to Amifars alive. This is almost impossible, but you have to do it. But have you ever thought about it? There is a 99% chance that you will die in vain, and other demons will either eliminate a competitor or pick up your credit, which is a win-win situation. Even if you are lucky enough to see Amifars alive, it is still a question whether it is willing to believe you. Maybe it will just comfort you a few words and then keep you hidden."

Brother Brown leaned on his gun and didn't speak for a long time.

It glanced at the demons behind it, who were the absolute core of its team.

But now, some demons looked puzzled, and some had complicated eyes. The demons without wisdom naturally couldn't understand what Lid and Gobrown were talking about, but those who could understand all changed color suddenly. The demons were not as united as imagined. If Gobrown planned to take them to die, they might not be loyal to him.

Brother Brown spends every day with these subordinates, so he naturally understands what they are thinking.

It felt that it had said too much to Reed, but then it thought, even if it didn't say all that, if it led all the demons to rush forward, could it defeat this human boy who was standing there calmly?

Brother Brown lowered his head in self-mockery; he was not conceited enough to that extent.

Besides, Lid was right. There was no point in killing him. Another demon general had already ambushed Goblan on the way back. Goblan's army had suffered heavy casualties and could not defeat his colleagues who had been recuperating there for a long time.

It's a dead end.

In other words, the situation was already hopeless from the moment Amifars asked him to come.

Thinking of this, Brother Brown suddenly felt a little ironic. No wonder when Amifars asked him to ambush Lid, the lizardman Ji who was standing beside him showed such a cold smile. He didn't know whether Amifars knew about it or not. If he knew, it meant that Amifars might not intend to let it live.

What else can be done?

Gobrown clenched the gun in his hand. Kill Lid, kill the ambush in the south, and bring Lid's head back to Amifars. He knew that this road would lead to a life or death, but he had no other choice -

At this moment, Lid suddenly said:

"In fact, there is an easier way."
