Chapter 1 Blood Knight
The drunk Tailan is facing a big crisis at this moment!
Although judging from the God of Destiny's past arrangements for him, being surrounded by five soldiers can only be regarded as the 39th most serious event in his life in the first twenty years. But to ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a serious event.
In danger.
The soldiers showed their standard long swords and pointed the tip of the sword at Tailan. It seemed that they were just waiting for the commander's order to thrust the sword into his flesh and blood!
"A tall man, sneaky, alone in the middle of the night, and wearing a murder weapon!" The leading officer stepped forward, pointed at Tailan's nose and shouted: "I, Colonel Kaftan of the Alterac Royal Forces, hereby announce,
You have been arrested as a suspect of the Blood Knight!"
"Blood Knight? What is that?" Tailan was drunk and had no idea what the other party was talking about.
"Why are you pretending to be confused? How many people in the entire city of Alterac don't know about the murderous 'Blood Knight' who has been committing murders in recent days?" Colonel Kaftan shouted angrily: "Get him!"
With a command like a mountain, four bright long swords stabbed at Tailan.
At that moment, Kaftan felt a strong momentum suddenly burst out from the strange man in front of him. He instantly turned around and drew his sword, and drew a perfect and stable arc with only the scabbard.
Swing all four swords away!
Master! Kaftan felt awe-struck, is this guy really the Blood Knight?
His hand had already touched the handle of the knife at his waist, intending to attack himself. But Tailan rushed forward and hugged Kaftan's thigh before he could draw the knife. Kaftan was known for his agility in the army.
, unable to avoid this hug!
"Sir, you must not wrong the good people!" Tailan shouted hoarsely: "I am a wandering mercenary from the Silver Pine Forest. I just arrived here today. Who knew there were any blood knights in Alterac City?
ah?"
Kaftan: "..."
The colonel was puzzled. Why did this person act like a master when he first struck, and then immediately hugged his thigh and cried out for injustice? How could he be such a shameful master? Could it be that the move that instantly sealed the four swords was done in a panic?
"I was wronged!"
"Okay, okay." Kaftan couldn't stand Tailan's crying and fighting attitude.
“I was wronged!!!”
"You're not done yet! Stop!" Kaftan shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Tailan immediately let go of Kaftan's thigh and stood up, lowering his hands as if he were a respectful citizen.
"Are you a knight?" Kaftan asked.
"Sir, the Knights of the Silver Hand were defeated ten years ago. Since they were annihilated, there should not be any new knights." Tailan explained with a slightly mocking tone: "I was ten years old ten years ago, sir.
Do you think you can become a knight at the age of ten?"
Kaftan's face turned red and he looked carefully. There were no street lights in Alterac City and it was very dim. He could vaguely tell from the moonlight that Tailan was indeed young.
This guy's facial features are fairly straight, his nose is high, his eyes are closed, his breathing is even, and he has a faint smell of alcohol and a snoring sound... Something seems wrong?
Kaftan discovered that this suspicious strange man fell asleep standing up!!!
"Tie up this drunkard!"
"yes!"
Kaftan actually believed 70% to 80% of Tailan's words. He ordered the kidnapping firstly out of caution, and secondly because he was unhappy that this lazy guy fell asleep in front of him, and he didn't respect himself very much.
Kafdan is a dignified colonel, known as the first sword of the royal army, and is also the direct person in charge of the city defense department. If it hadn't been for the emergence of the murderous Blood Knight who committed crimes continuously, how could a senior officer like him be employed?
Which senior military officer is willing to deign to stay up late and work overtime? Kaftan hopes that his efforts will be rewarded and that the Blood Knight can be captured and brought to justice as soon as possible.
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"Blood Knight?" Kaftan's face tightened, he heard the voice and pointed eastward: "Over there!"
He took the lead and charged forward. As he ran, he asked casually: "Have you brought that drunken mercenary with you just now?"
The person closest to him replied: "Here!"
Kaftan heard something was wrong in the voice and turned around to look, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood. Tailan actually ran behind him, his hands tied in front of him. His eyes were bright, how could he still be half drunk?
"Aren't you drunk?" Kaftan was depressed. Why do you, the suspect, want to go with us to catch the criminal?
"You guys are so noisy that you woke me up!" Tailan scolded angrily: "Don't disturb the people at night, do you have any moral integrity?"
Kafdan is full of bullshit. My dignified senior colonel worked overtime to catch murderers, but he was accused of disturbing the people. How can this be justified?
Tailan didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, and asked directly: "Who is this blood knight? Are there any clues?"
"Murder!" Kaftan gritted his teeth and said: "In the past month, he has committed six crimes and killed eight people. Among them were three orcs! Only two were left alive. The survivors reported that the murderer called himself the Blood Knight.
A tall man, but with no distinguishing features."
"The key is that three orcs died, right?" Tyran said in a mocking tone.
The orcs are the rulers of the eastern continent and occupy most of the territory. In the war ten years ago, the Kingdom of Alterac was the first to surrender to the orcs. Only then was it able to survive under the iron heel and retain the royal family's rights.
Independence. But still must obey the orcs in the name of "collaborative governance".
Colonel Kaftan frowned after hearing his sarcasm, but did not refute it.
Following the screams, they turned a corner and finally arrived at the crime scene, where they happened to witness a bloody scene.
A bloody human female corpse appeared in front of them, the limbs were highly twisted, and the tragedy was shocking. The strong murderer wearing a mask next to him was pushing another victim to the ground, and the machete in his hand stabbed deeply into the victim's neck.
Blood spurted out, and the man's trachea and aorta were severed by the tip of the knife. His body twitched twice, and he was obviously dead.
"Stop!" Kaftan's eyes turned red immediately and he rushed forward desperately.
"Hey, hey, please untie the rope for me first!" Tailan shouted, but Kaftan had no time to listen to him.
The saber was unsheathed in an instant, and he slashed at his opponent with a sweeping force. Kaftan was so angry that he wanted to cut the murderer into two pieces with just one blow.
"Be careful!" Tailan shouted, but the warning came too late.
Kaftan targeted the murderer with a sharp blade and struck out, but unexpectedly, an eight-edged hammer flew out from the corner outside his field of vision. When he heard the warning, he was unable to dodge and was directly hit.
He was hit on the chest and a mouthful of blood spurted out immediately. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
It turned out that there was another murderer with a hammer lurking in the corner, and Kaftan was caught off guard and fell into the trap.
At this time, the soldiers rushed over and turned the corner to see Kaftan being severely injured and flying backwards, vomiting blood.
"Protect the colonel!" The four people quickly stepped forward to protect Kaftan.
But Kaftan didn't appreciate it and shouted: "These two guys are very strong, you are no match! I will resist, you go find reinforcements!"
When the soldiers saw that the senior colonel wanted to break up the relationship alone, they were unwilling to leave. They gritted their teeth and planned to fight the two thugs.
"Don't even think about leaving!" The murderer holding a sharp knife laughed arrogantly: "Since you have witnessed the crime scene of our Blood Knight combination, just stay!"
"I can't believe there are two Blood Knights!" Kaftan blamed himself and was angry. Judging from the skills of this knife-wielding murderer, he had a certain degree of confidence in fighting alone, but he ignored the existence of accomplices. Looking back
It was obvious that the twisted female corpse had its limbs broken off by a blunt instrument, but he was careless and negligent!
It doesn't matter that he was injured in a conspiracy, but how can he protect the lives of his subordinates? These two murderers are very skilled, especially the strength of the hammers. Ordinary soldiers cannot resist a few moves. If the soldiers are injured or killed, they can
How to explain to their families!
"Hahaha, you can't believe it!" The hammer-wielding murderer laughed: "My name is Otto, nicknamed the Knight. That is my partner Jimmy, nicknamed the Bloodletter. The two of us together are the Blood Knights!"
"Bastards!" Kaftan's eyes were split with tears: "Whether you are one or two beasts, I will definitely avenge the victims of my compatriots!"
"You want revenge, and we also want revenge! We deliberately let those survivors go, just to mislead, so that we can lure the snake out of the hole and annihilate your search team!" Jimmy Jiejie smiled evilly: "Don't
Blame me for speaking poorly——"
"Don't say it if it's unpleasant!" Tailan suddenly interrupted.
Jimmy's face froze, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't continue the conversation. Who is this guy without a military uniform? The soldiers didn't say anything, so why are you, a passerby, trying to make excuses?
He adjusted his mood: "As the saying goes, the ugly words come first -"
Tailan interrupted again: "Then why don't you just talk about the rest?"
Jimmy was holding the following words in his chest and just couldn't get them out. He felt like his whole body was not feeling well. How could we talk if the mood was interrupted?
Otto couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "Who the hell are you?"
Tailan cupped his hands with a solemn expression: "Didn't you see the rope tied to my hand? I am a suspect!"
Otto: "..."
Jimmy: "..."
I’ve never seen such an arrogant suspect! It’s honorable for you to be tied up, isn’t it?
Jimmy decided to ignore him, turned to Kaftan and continued what he had just said: "Don't blame me for being harsh, you soldiers are just dogs of the orcs! We blood knights just want to take revenge on you lackeys!"
Although he spoke eloquently, the expressions of the soldiers did not change and they showed no reaction at all.
The Blood Knight duo felt embarrassed. If they had just said this sentence in one breath, they would have been quite powerful. However, they were interrupted several times, and the atmosphere went astray. They didn't feel anything at all when they said it!
Jimmy was depressed and said angrily: "Kill them!"
"Okay!" Otto swung the eight-edged hammer in his hand and broke the long sword in the hand of the leading soldier with one blow.
The companions on the left and right of the soldier with the broken sword hurriedly swung their swords to take up their positions, but the defensive formation of the four people immediately revealed a flaw. Jimmy took advantage of the situation and stepped forward with a killing move. The soldier with the broken sword was in a hurry, and he was about to
The injury will be caused by the opponent's sword.
Kaftan jumped up and swung his saber to block the blow. However, the force was too strong and affected the wound, causing another mouthful of blood to spurt out.
"Damn it! Are you going to die in the hands of these two young people?" Kaftan was filled with unwillingness. There was a huge gap in strength between the four subordinates and their opponents, and they might fall at any time during the battle. And in his current bad state, even himself
If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, how can you protect your companions? Let alone avenge innocent victims.
Just when he was having desperate thoughts, Tailan's voice sounded like thunder:
"Come on! Jimmy the Farter!"
The machete in Jimmy's hand was almost about to hit the soldier. Hearing these words, he was so angry that he became dizzy. He pulled back and retorted angrily: "Who the hell is a farter? I call him a bloodletter!"
The soldier narrowly escaped death, but before he could realize what had happened, he saw his opponent bypassing him and heading straight to the rear. Jimmy was so embarrassed by Tailan's ridicule that he vowed to kill him on the spot.
Regardless of his injury, Kaftan picked up his saber and tried to rescue him, but he couldn't make it in time. He watched as Tailan's arms were bound and he couldn't draw his sword to block. The next moment, he would be covered in blood.
"Death!" Jimmy roared, jumped up and slashed with all his might.
Tailan did not dodge, but just stared at Jimmy's movements, raised his bound hands, and took half a step back with an extremely small movement the moment the sharp blade fell.
The knife fell, the rope broke, no time was spared, and no one was hurt!
Jimmy's knife seemed to have been well coordinated with Tailan's. The blade brushed his arm and just cut off the rope. For a moment, the tip of the knife was even close to the tip of Tailan's nose, but it did not hurt him at all!
"Accept the sanction of justice!"
As Tailan shouted angrily, his untied hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and the scabbard was stretched out like a poisonous snake spitting a message. A precise blow hit Jimmy's jaw, sending him flying up and falling heavily to the ground.
He fell into a coma before landing!
Wonderful! Kaftan was amazed by this move.
Although ordinary people can also see that Tailan has extraordinary skills, in the eyes of experts like Kaftan, this simple raising of hands, retreating, drawing the sword, and stabbing are done in one go. The movements are skillful and coherent, but they can still be maintained in the extremely dangerous situation.
The conciseness and accuracy of each step is a symbol of top masters reducing complexity to simplicity. The senior colonel asked himself, he would never be able to do it.
His previous performance of parrying four swords was definitely not fake, it was his real strength!
But how to explain his embarrassing performance? Kaftan thought for a while and came to an unpleasant inference-probably he is just a simple bad-tempered person...
When Otto saw Tailan defeat Jimmy with one move, his expression suddenly changed, and his voice even trembled: "You, what magic did you use? You defeated him without even taking out the sword?"
"Magic? Haha." Tailan sneered: "Since you are nicknamed 'Knight', you must know the Knights of the Silver Hand, right? They are the strongest knights who combine martial arts and magic at the same time!"
Kaftan sighed secretly. This was the second time Tyran mentioned the Knights of the Silver Hand in front of him. As a witness to that period of history, he knew very well that the defeat of the Silver Hand was related to the rebellion of the Kingdom of Alterac.
Inseparable relationship!
Otto was even more shocked when he heard this: "Are you talking about the legendary Paladin? Are you a Paladin?"
"Are you worthy of being the Paladin's opponent? I'm just a mercenary." Tyran shrugged: "The Paladin is wanted with a bounty on his head. The Colonel is here, so don't try to frame me."
"You, you? You!" Otto was confused. He couldn't figure out where this enigmatic man came from, so he barely mustered up the last courage and rushed towards Tailan with his war hammer raised high.
No matter who he is? Even if he is really a Paladin, he will vomit blood if he is hit hard by himself in the front!
The next second, Tailan used her absolute strength to make him understand that his idea was too naive.
The lightning-fast sword turned into a thunderous force and struck down on the head. Otto was hit in the shoulder by the scabbard before he could even dodge. The strength he was usually proud of could not bear the weight of Tailan.
With this sword blow, his legs instantly softened and he was knocked to his knees.
Otto's eyes widened in despair, and he couldn't believe the fact before him: he lost, actually lost in one move, and he didn't even understand how his opponent did it!
"Although I am not a knight, I don't want to see a dirty guy like you called a knight!" Tailan said coldly, and put the sword and sheath back to his waist with a beautiful movement. At this time, Otto
Then he slowly fell down. None of the soldiers saw the move clearly, and the battle was over.
"Tie him up! His shoulder blades are broken and he shouldn't be able to resist." Tailan returned to his relaxed look and passed the responsibility back to the soldiers. But this time no one dared to disrespect him.
He walked towards Kaftan and muttered glibly: "It's so bad that people are not as good as they used to be. These days, even murderers have the nerve to call themselves knights. Where is the spirit of chivalry?"
Kaftan was stunned, not knowing what the other party was going to do. He saw Tailan approaching him and stretching his hand towards his injured chest.
"Compared to the guy who doesn't deserve to be called a knight, you, the naive and naive senior colonel who wants to protect everyone, is cuter!"
Kaftan subconsciously wanted to hide, but was stunned when he heard this.
Does this seemingly careless and lazy mercenary have such a fiery and kind heart? Was he moved by the bond between me and his subordinates, and that's why he came to help?
He questioned "Where is the spirit of chivalry?" But he bravely stood up and fought the murderer for a stranger. This is the true spirit of chivalry!
Just like that, Tailan's palm was already pressed against the colonel's chest. Under the dim moonlight, Kaftan could clearly see a faint golden light blooming from the palm!
"Could this be..." He was so shocked that he retracted those three shocking words into his mouth.
You can't say it in front of your subordinates. If you say it, you have to arrest him!
This mysterious mercenary risked his identity to cast a spell to heal himself! Although he had a casual attitude and said it was easy, how could a man as passionate and righteous as Kaftan be unappreciative?
"May I ask your surname..."
"Okay, bye!" To everyone's surprise, Tailan didn't even wait for Kaftan to finish speaking, retracted his hand and ran away. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Kaftan patted his chest, and sure enough the injury had healed.
"I can't believe that I can meet such a person in Alterac!" He was excited in his heart, but also a little regretful. Unfortunately, he couldn't even ask the other person's name. Coupled with the dim moonlight,
You can't even see his appearance clearly, so how can you find this master?
But after thinking about it, the colonel showed a confident smile again.
Although this master is mysterious, he has obvious characteristics - he is a bitch! This kind of bitch is like a chicken standing out in the city, you can definitely find it!
Chapter completed!
