The Hawkwood shield is a worn-out shield wrapped in leather and cloth, covered with knife marks and wear.
Logically speaking, the undead team that uses special swordsmanship will not be able to hold a shield, even if their idol Artorius is actually a big shield man.
But Hawkwood was an exception, because he was afraid, so he could no longer use the wolf sword technique that required ignoring defense.
Ignoring defense means disregarding life and death in battle. His belief in being able to ignore life and death was abandoned when he escaped.
The shield in his hand was found after he escaped from the undead team, and it accompanied him through all the battles after that.
Although using a shield would prevent him from using the Wolf Sword Technique, he couldn't use the Wolf Sword Technique in the first place, so it didn't matter.
But at this moment... the shield shattered.
With a crisp clicking sound, cracks appeared in the shield in Hawkwood's hand. The next moment, the shield suffered a full blow from Captain Farlan and shattered into pieces.
Pieces of fragments fell to the ground, and Hawkwood took a step back in disbelief, staring blankly at the handle of the shield he still held in his hand.
What should he do without his shield?
Hawkwood looked up again and glanced at his comrades walking towards Xia Yu and Captain Fran, his left hand trembling a little.
How about running away? Just be an escaper like before.
Anyway, it wasn’t the first time I ran away. Since I had the first time, it wouldn’t matter if I ran away a second time...
Xia Yu is so strong, even if he can't be beaten, there is no problem in escaping, so he should run away, run away.
These thoughts kept popping up in Hawkwood's mind, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, unable to move at all.
Run away! Why don’t you run away!!
Hawkwood scolded himself in his heart, wouldn't it be fine if he just ran away like before? Why, was he hesitating?
Clang Clang!!
A crisp and loud metallic tremble sounded on the battlefield. After joining the members of the Undead Team, Xia Yu, who had been interacting with Captain Fran, immediately fell into decline.
Looking at Xia Yu who fell below but still did not ask for help or turn around and run away, Hawkwood almost broke his teeth.
Why, why don’t one or two of them know how to run away! Wouldn’t it be fine if they just ran away? Why not run away!
What are you holding on to!!!
"Pfft!"
In the battlefield, Xia Yu was unable to dodge, and was struck in the chest by Captain Fran with a sword. Bright red blood immediately splattered from his chest.
Then the resurrected members of the Undead Team also stabbed out their swords, which happened to penetrate Xia Yu's side. With a strong stroke, a large amount of blood was drawn out.
Xia Yu, who was severely injured, staggered and almost fell down, but he did not turn around and run away. Instead, he supported his body with his sword and slashed at the two undead team members who seemed to be fighting together.
But maybe it was because he was too seriously injured that Xia Yu not only failed to hit the two of them, but instead hit the incoming sword.
Seeing that Xia Yu's body was about to be pierced by a big sword, but suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared and took him out of danger.
"Why...why don't you run away?!"
Hawkwood gently placed the seriously injured Xia Yu on the ground, and then asked in a hoarse voice.
Xia Yu didn't reply, just gave a forced smile, and then closed his eyes feebly. Seeing this scene, Hawkwood's left hand holding the curved-edged dagger trembled again, but this time, it was not because of fear.
trembling.
He stared with bloodshot eyes, slowly stood up from Xia Yu, and looked at the fighting Captain Fran and the members of the Undead Team.
Seeing his comrades and captain who were killing each other, Hawkwood held his sword across his right hand, pointing the tip of the sword at the two men, and placed his left hand holding the curved-edged dagger next to his right shoulder.
This is a special etiquette of the French Undead Team.
After the ceremony, the sword rises!
Clang, Clang, Clang——!
The sound of fighting echoed in the air, and Hawkwood joined the battle.
Xia Yu, who heard the sound of fighting, quietly opened one eye, and then saw three figures fighting as gorgeously as if they were dancing.
Seeing that Hawkwood had changed into a special pair of weapons, a dagger in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, Xia Yu's lips curled up slightly.
If he is about to die and Hawkwood doesn't come to save him, or even just stands there and watches, it means that the other party is not worth saving.
But now it seems that Hawkwood is at least not the kind of person who loses his conscience.
Thanks to his hard work, he even hit the tip of the sword specially. Hiss...it really hurt a bit.
Feeling that the wound was still bleeding, Xia Yu took a breath of cold air, hurriedly took out the bottle of elements that had not been used for a long time, and took a few gulps.
Under the treatment of the element bottle, the bleeding wound healed quickly. After a second, Xia Yu stood up again like a normal person, then took out the mini camera and pinned it on his collar.
This battle scene must be recorded, and then let Hawkwood take a closer look and say that this is not a hip-hop dance!
On the other side, the battle place.
The battle between the three members of the undead team is gorgeous but full of murderous intent. Every time the sword is swung, it will leave wounds on each of them.
The ground where they fought was also full of pits and pits, all marked by curved-edged daggers.
Phew——!
Another knife attack added another scar to Hawkwood's body. Although he regained his confidence, it could not change the fact that he was weaker.
What's more, he hasn't practiced his wolf sword skills since he woke up, so it's normal that he can't defeat the two of them.
But he has an advantage that the other two cannot match, that is, he has a lot of elements in his element bottle. As long as he takes a sip of the elements when he has the opportunity, all the injuries on his body can be restored.
Under the strong strength of Captain Fran and the hard work of Hawkwood, the awakened members of the undead team finally fell down and failed to stand up again.
Seeing this, Captain Fran and Hawkwood only paused for half a second before fighting each other again.
This time, without the involvement of the members of the Undead Team, Captain Fran's attack was almost entirely focused on Hawkwood.
Under Captain Fran's violent attack, Hawkwood's face showed pain, and he was almost unable to fight back.
Both of them use the same kind of swordsmanship, the special wolf swordsmanship, so neither of them can break the other's moves.
However, the captain is experienced and strong. Even if he is corrupted by the abyss and becomes delirious, his combat experience has been integrated into his soul. He can overwhelm Hawkwood with every move he takes. It doesn't even take him long to drink the bottle of element.
No.
However, even if he drank the element as quickly as possible, he was beaten up by the captain and vomited out before he could swallow it. He simply vomited as much as he drank.
Bang——!
There was another exchange of blows. This time, Hawkwood couldn't even stabilize his body and was directly knocked away by Captain Farlan.
But just when he was about to stop himself with the curved-edged dagger, a hand suddenly touched his flying body.
"Okay, let me do it next."
Xia Yu, who was watching the show secretly from the side, stepped forward, helped Hawkwood stabilize his body, stretched out his thumb, and then showed a confident smile.
