Chapter 19 The Battle in the Corridor

"Sir, wake up quickly, there are bandits in the castle!"

"???" Gervais was woken up in his sleep and was still a little confused. Bandits can still enter this castle. Are there any bandits in the territory? There are more than ten guards in a castle as big as his.

They have already reached the castle.

"Ick, what's going on? How many enemies are there?" Gervais, who had just woken up, didn't dare to neglect, and immediately jumped up from the bed. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes, only wearing shorts, and then directly took a pair of locks.

Zijia, put on the leather armor, drew out the long sword from the scabbard, opened the door and asked the guard.

This guard was one of the people assigned to him by his father, so he was not worried about fraud. Because the castle had limited manpower and the ten guards were unreliable, he could only let the three guards he brought take turns on the stairs on the third floor.

The one who is responsible for the oral duties now is Ike, and the other two should rest on the first floor.

"Sir, I don't know the details! I heard someone downstairs shouting that there was a thief in the castle, so I came to wake you up immediately!" Ike held the epee in both hands and stared at the stairs, because the first

The third floor was where Gervais lived, so candles were specially lit on both sides of the corridor. Although the light was still dim, anyone could see it as long as they came up.

"Protect your lord, go up and protect your lord first, the thief is on the second floor!" On the stairs at this moment, the other two guards and Thomas and others were running quickly towards the third floor. It was Thomas who was calling. As a butler, he knew

Within the castle, only Gervais is the most important. No matter what the thief's purpose is for sneaking into the castle, as long as Gervais is safe, nothing can be said.

In fact, there is no need for Thomas to shout. The two guards are also old men who have experienced battles in the battlefield, and they are also Gandalf's confidants. Naturally, they take Gervais very seriously.

"Thomas, I'm fine. How many thieves are there?" Gervais didn't know what the situation was and didn't hear the sound of killing, so he stood with Ike at the door of his room. Naturally, he heard Thomas's cry. When Thomas

Several people arrived on the third floor, and he couldn't wait to walk over.

"Sir, Johnny... Johnny said there were three thieves! They sneaked in through the window at the top of the stairs. When I came up, I found someone... on the second floor." Thomas was also disheveled. It was summer now, and everyone was sleeping at night.

After taking off his clothes to sleep, Thomas randomly grabbed a short shirt and put it on and ran out. After hearing Johnny's short story clearly, he rushed to the third floor with the two guards without stopping. At this moment, he didn't know because he was running too fast.

I was still too excited and still breathless when I spoke.

"Since there are only three people, let's go down and see who can sneak into the castle without anyone noticing. Are the guards keeping watch tonight useless?" Gervais was a little annoyed. The castle was not safe.

It means that his safety is not guaranteed, so he can't help but get angry.



By the way, Benny and the other three reached the second floor quietly. Benny, who was originally relieved because everything went well, was also startled by the sudden shouting from downstairs.

When he heard the content of the shout clearly, he knew that several of his people had been exposed, so he stopped being cautious.

With his familiarity with the second floor, he quickly ran to the guest room where he usually lived in the dark, and came to the foot of the bed where the gold coins were hidden. Benny quickly groped at the foot of the bed, and finally, he found a bag containing heavy gold coins.

.

Hanging the gold coin on his waist, Benny quickly started to fumble, but the gold coin was easy to fumble with, but the envelope could not be found. Benny was anxious.

"Captain, hurry up, someone is coming upstairs!"

An anxious urging came from the door of the guest room.

Benny was still groping, but just like the laws on earth, the more you want to find something, the harder it is. Listening to the faint shouts in the corridor and outside the castle, Benny knew that he should

Run away. If you don't run, you won't have a chance.

At that moment, he no longer cared about looking for the envelope, turned around and ran towards the door of the guest room.

"Quick, hurry up!"

The two men standing at the door were extremely anxious. The swords were already unsheathed and held in their hands. The hands holding the swords were trembling.

They had just seen three figures rushing upstairs, and they expected to come down in a few moments. When they saw Benny turning around, their hearts relaxed slightly, and they immediately rushed to the stairs without waiting for Benny.

Seeing his two men escaping first, Benny felt secretly resentful, but there was nothing he could do to get angry. The first priority now was to run out of the castle as quickly as possible. As long as he escaped from the castle, the Baron's men only had a few people, so basically there was no need for them.

Maybe I can catch myself again.

But the three of them stayed for too long after all. After Gervais reunited with his subordinates, he also knew that there were only three enemies, so he came to the second floor surrounded by everyone.

As soon as I arrived at the stairway on the second floor, I saw three black figures rushing towards the stairs one after the other.

The first person standing on Gervais's side is Ike. Because he has just been on night duty, he is much better than the other two guards in terms of clothing and mental state.

One of the other two guards didn't even have time to put on his leather armor. He just took his own weapon and rushed forward. No one expected that there would be danger in the castle.

The two gangs were unaware of each other's situation and collided without any preparation. Ike was worthy of being a veteran who had been on the battlefield many times. His reaction was much faster than that of Benny's men. When he saw the enemy on his side, he

Appearing within a step, he slashed the man's neck with a side slash. The man couldn't even block with the sword in his hand. He only heard the man who was struck by Yik's sword scream and fell down.

He fell to the ground, covering his neck and making loud noises.

"Charge over, or you'll die if you don't charge!" Benny was horrified when he saw one of his men was cut down by the other party just after they met. But there was nothing he could do at the moment. If he didn't charge out, he would definitely die.

If they are blocked in the narrow corridor on the third floor, there is still hope to rush over quickly. Otherwise, when Gervais and others reach the corridor on the second floor, the space will be much wider. If three people block them together, it will be difficult for them to fly even if they have wings.

Already.

The man who was still standing in front was a little hesitant to come forward. Benny rushed behind him, pushed him, and then shouted at him.

The two parties came into contact for a split second. After Ike slashed an enemy, he took back the sword in his hand. Benny and his men had already rushed in front of him and attacked him together because the two sides were too close.

Benny's men could no longer cut with their swords, so they could only lift their swords and stab Ike's abdomen. However, Benny, who was slightly behind, had enough space to raise his sword and stab him out.

At the same time as he struck the sword, he also slashed the sword hard towards Ik's head.

"careful!"

Gervais and the remaining two guards were blocked behind by Ik, and they were worried. However, the corridor was not spacious. If two people stood side by side, they would most likely accidentally injure one of them with their swords, and they did not have long weapons in their hands.

Weapons can only allow Ik to resist the attacks of Benny and Benny alone.

Seeing the two men attacking at the same time, Ike immediately dodged to the side and behind. At the same time, he raised his sword again to block Benny's slash. There was only a "ding" sound, and the two swords collided together, and a flash of light appeared in the dim corridor.

A spark of collision.

Although Ik blocked Benny's slash, Benny's subordinate's thrust hit Ik. Ik, who was leaning sideways, felt a chill in his abdomen. At the same time, because of his hasty retreat, his center of gravity was unstable, and his whole body

The person fell backward.

"Fuck!" Gervais was standing in the third position behind Ik. Although it was his first time to see such a battle, and his whole body was trembling slightly, when he saw Ik falling, Gervais's chest was filled with excitement.

Endless anger surged up, dispelling the little fear in his heart.

Benny saw that Ike blocked his slash, but in order to avoid the direct thrust of his men, he also took a step back, leaving a gap, and immediately rushed into the corridor without hesitation.

"Kill, let me go up and kill them two!" Gervais Yike fell to the ground. He didn't know whether Yike was dead or alive. At this moment, his eyes looked fierce and he shouted loudly.

In fact, without Gervais's order, the two guards immediately passed over Ik after Ik fell to the ground and chased the two enemies. Gervais did not bother to check. He held the long sword in his hand and followed.

Behind, Thomas had no weapon in his hand and could only follow at the end.

Benny and the two escaped into the corridor, but the pursuers behind them immediately came up and attacked them from above. Because of the narrow corridor, they could no longer attack Gervais's men at the same time, so they could only

Fight and retreat, resisting bitterly.

Benny was very anxious. There were soldiers chasing him behind him, and there were urgent footsteps in the corridor downstairs. It must have been that the manservant opened the door of the inner castle, and the guards from outside rushed in.

There were only two steps left from the window where they sneaked in, but the guard behind them was slashing at them with sword after sword. He used the height advantage to force them so that they did not dare to be distracted. If there was any other movement, Benny would use

He glanced at the window out of the corner of his eye, then looked at his men, and found that they could no longer resist. They seemed to want to turn around, and had the idea of ​​​​getting into the window first.

"Only one of two people can survive, don't blame me for being cruel!" Benny suddenly felt cruel. In this situation, only one person can resist, and the other person has time to turn around and get out of the window to escape. The person responsible for resisting must surrender.

Otherwise there is only a dead end.

Especially when the people on the first floor rush up, they will be attacked from both sides, and it will be difficult for the two of them to fly.

Benny noticed that his subordinate raised his hand and raised his sword, and the sword collided hard with the guard's sword. He no longer hesitated and suddenly pushed his subordinate's back hard.

Benny's men and the pursuer were still holding their swords up at this moment. Benny pushed the men hard, and they lost their center of gravity and fell directly into the man's arms. The two of them fell to the ground and rolled together.

The one who was brought to the ground by Benny's men was Laurie. Audrey, who was lined up behind Laurie, saw Laurie and Benny's men rolling into a ball. The two men also lost their weapons and immediately kicked away the fallen weapons.

The long sword did not care to continue to control the two people on the ground.

Because half of Benny's body had already slipped out of the window, Audrey without thinking, stretched out his arm and struck out with a sword towards half of Benny's body. However, the distance was too far, and it just hit Benny's belt.

After a while, Benny was not hurt.

Taking advantage of this gap, Benny had climbed out of the window.

Gervais, who was at the rear, saw that Audrey had already gone up, so he raised the sword in his hand, preparing to kill the thief on the ground who had injured Icke first.

"Sir, spare your life, I surrender! I surrender!" Just when Gervais was about to slash at the man with his sword, the people on the ground also reacted, raising their hands and shouting for mercy.

When Gervais heard begging for mercy, he finally suppressed his anger, and then he stopped the half-cut sword, and the sword stopped a few centimeters away from the man's head.

Because Gervais needs to live.
