Under the morning glow, densely packed troops stood in a ruins, tightly surrounding the three people in the middle, making it impossible for them to escape.
With full of surprise and disbelief, Cohen looked at the most unexpected girl in front of him: "Why, Chloe?"
The short-haired girl just looked at him indifferently without saying a word.
Cohen suddenly felt that part of the girl in front of him had been dead for a long time.
She is no longer the cheerful, tenacious, carefree Chloe who always likes to pull Miranda and tease him.
At that moment, Cohen felt a little heartbroken.
"Stop asking, Cohen." Standing next to the security officer, Miranda looked at the soldiers slowly approaching and exhaled: "Do you remember the Sword of Disaster we encountered?"
Cohen looked at Croash across from him and was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Even if they are the mortal enemies of the Tower of the End, they still retain the dignity and pride of being swordsmen," Miranda said calmly, covering the hilt of the sword with her hands wrapped in black gloves, and slowly raised the blade:
"But Croash said that one night, a group of masked Swordsmen of Disaster ambushed her and disabled her right hand?"
Cohen frowned: "Gu said that he didn't know there had been such a battle in Kai District."
Miranda nodded and looked at the crowd motionless, letting the warriors on both sides pass over her Croache.
"Also, even though he is hiding here, the Sword of Disaster has no regard for politics and is full of contempt for magic guns." The daughter of the Yalunde family said calmly: "Don't use them to assassinate the prince!"
Cohen took a deep breath: "That is to say..."
Miranda took over his words without pause: "Yes, the Sword of Disaster neither conspired with a certain archduke nor assassinated the prince. They were just framed and framed targets."
"The so-called Sword of Disaster is just a cover, a trap set up by the Black Sand Leader to lure us from the stars to Exeter in the name of the Tower of Ending!"
"And the origin of everything..."
Miranda narrowed her eyes, looked at Chloe, who still had an indifferent expression, and said loudly:
"That's your lie, Chloe!"
In the crowd, a faint sneer appeared on Croash's face, with unclear emotions in his eyes: "Last chance - surrender and avoid death!"
"Um, maybe I shouldn't interrupt you..." Unknowingly, Wyatt had already formed a triangle with the two Terminator Tower seeds, facing Croash, with Cohen on the left and Miranda on the right.
Huaiya himself faced the soldiers approaching step by step and said nervously: "But... maybe we need to solve the problem at hand first?"
The soldiers wearing patrol uniforms were getting closer and closer, their eyes fierce.
"Put down your weapons!" A veteran at the front said harshly: "Or wait for us to unload them."
"Have you ever fought in a war, boy from the Sword of Disaster?" Cohen leaned on Waiya's back, his eyes very solemn, and he said softly: "I'm talking about the kind of person who faces hundreds or even thousands of enemies, with opponents on all sides.
Fight, not boring sword duels."
"Been beaten once."
Huaiya said with a pale face, and he immediately reacted: "Also, I am not a sword of disaster!"
"One time is enough, we will open the way later," Cohen quickly observed the more than a hundred enemies in front of him, and directly ignored Huaiya's second sentence: "Guard the rear and keep up."
Huaiya glanced at Rolf, who was unconscious in the ruins, and sighed:
"How to guard it? They are everywhere..."
"Use your brain," Miranda interrupted him coldly: "Use your sword, aim at their legs, and turn them into a burden on the battlefield..."
Before the female swordsman could finish her words, Chloe shouted out a clear and high-pitched voice: "Kill!"
Puff puff!
Footsteps sounded quickly, approaching at an extremely fast speed!
Countless sword lights and sword shadows flickered in the ruins, and one soldier after another fiercely rushed towards the three of them, with their sword tips pointed forward, attacking in rows.
Imitate the cavalry formation, a standard suppressive charge.
At that moment, Miranda recognized the movements of these people.
Those were not Longxiao City's patrols, but her opponents who had been at the border almost every day in the past three years - although there were no battlefield weapons such as maces and three-edged spears, of course, perhaps for the sake of better
camouflage.
"Bang!" "Keng!"
Cohen on the right side lowered his head very experiencedly, raised his sword horizontally, and deflected the two stabbing blades.
The security officer didn't retreat, but he counterattacked. He exerted force with his feet and kicked one person in the kneecap.
With the crisp sound of fractures, he turned sideways and hit another enemy hard in the abdomen with his elbow.
Amid the groans of pain from his opponent, Cohen was about to take advantage of the opponent's retreat to strike with a sword, but the groaning enemy ignored him, like roots growing under his feet, without taking a step back, and raised his sword to strike again!
"Cang!" A heavy metallic sound sounded - Cohen held on to the opponent's chop.
The security officer removed the enemy's sword and felt a chill in his heart: Oops, with this kind of strength and quality, he is at least a heavy infantryman!
I don't know if they are heavy swordsmen or heavy swordsmen.
Fortunately...their weapons are only patrol swords and do not fit together, otherwise...
Behind him, Huaiya activated the Pointless Edge and instantly cut the wrists of the two people behind him.
The sound of two weapons falling to the ground was heard.
"Damn it, save some strength!" Cohen carefully blocked the sword that was slashing again, and cursed unceremoniously: "Using the power of termination like this will only lead to death from exhaustion!"
On the other side, Miranda also faced two enemies, one of whom even wielded two swords.
But Miranda was more skillful than her companions, and her sword edge magically struck an enemy's wrist.
The opponent's sword trembled immediately, and the sword edge slanted downwards, stabbing his companion's arm.
The enemy wielding two swords looked at his companion's sword in shock, and couldn't help but deflect his right sword to block his companion's attack.
But before he could react, Miranda's sword blade came out smoothly, pierced his left palm, and then turned violently.
Amid the enemy's screams of pain, Cohen moved to the right, was hit by the sword in the back, and exchanged positions with Miranda.
His tall figure carried inertia, knocking back the enemy with two swords one meter, and fell into the arms of his companion behind him.
Miranda calmly lowered her head, brushed against Cohen's chest, and turned to the left side.
She took advantage of the opponent's change and when the sword lost its target, she stabbed straight with the sword quickly, poking a deep wound in the enemy's abdomen.
Miranda watched her opponent grit his teeth and endure the pain, with blood flowing profusely, but she did not take his life and allowed the enemy to drag him back into the formation.
The two of them advanced nearly two meters. After struggling to fend off a slash, Huaiya hurriedly followed. The two Terminator Tower Seeds cooperated with each other like a tacit understanding, which made the attendants look stunned.
"Epee infantry, their feet are stable, but they are not flexible enough." Miranda leaned on Cohen's back and whispered.
Cohen picked up a long sword and gave back the information: "Cavalry scout, his reaction is very fast, but his body is not very good."
"The border standing army of the Black Sand Territory." Miranda summarized briefly.
"We can't break through directly," Cohen gritted his teeth and forced back the two enemies with a powerful sweep: "There are too many of them, and every one of them is a veteran."
"Looking for Chloe." Miranda once again used her rhythmic finishing power, squeezed between the two enemies, and when the opponent scratched her breastplate, she cut the enemy's throat with her left palm, causing the latter to
Holding his neck, he retreated quickly.
The female swordsman then stabbed out with her right sword, forcing the other enemy to lower his head and dodge: "Alternate attacks and use words to interfere with her!"
"Get a chance!"
As soon as Miranda finished speaking, Cohen activated his finishing power.
The endless glory of the stars spread over his body, causing the security officer to attack with more than a dozen swords without any pause!
"Cang!" A continuous sound of metal collision sounded.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Black Sand Territory were forcefully forced back several steps by Cohen.
"Chloësh!"
Cohen attacked with all his strength, and his offensive continued unabated, but he was surprisingly angry. He roared at the enemy commander in the crowd: "Did you betray us for Lombard's coup? Did you betray the Tower of the End?"
Huaiya hurriedly followed behind Cohen. His body was already wounded in two places, but he still stubbornly slashed out his single-edged sword and blocked the two swords that stabbed behind Cohen.
"What do you want to say, Cohen?" In the crowd, Kroesh's eyes were filled with complicated light, and he responded loudly and calmly: "You are accusing me of using the name of the Terminator Tower to involve you in ulterior motives.
In politics?”
Cohen gritted his teeth, and the radiance of the stars with blue light continued to improve, and he would keep moving forward despite being injured.
With three consecutive sword strikes of chopping, slashing, and stabbing, the security officer wounded three enemies.
Miranda protected his back tightly, and the long sword could always be delivered at the critical moment to resolve the most deadly attack.
"Keep disturbing her!" Miranda whispered, "Force her to come up and fight you!"
"How to do it?" Cohen gritted his teeth and fought off an enemy, but there was a bloodstain on his arm: "I have never been able to scold that bastard..."
But at this moment, Miranda suddenly shouted: "Give up, Cohen!"
"Cloë Xi, whom you once had a crush on, betrays you without hesitation at this moment!"
"It's impossible for you and her to be together!"
Cohen, who was charging into the enemy group, was stunned.
What?
That manly woman?
When did I have a crush on her...
As soon as he finished speaking, Croash, who was still two meters away, suddenly twisted his face.
She gritted her teeth and stared at Cohen in front of her, with only one emotion in her eyes.
Hate.
Cohen suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The next moment, Chloe suddenly burst into flames!
She passed over many subordinates and stabbed straight with her sword in an instant.
Hit Cohen's blade!
"clang!"
Cohen trembled all over, feeling that his next sword would never be able to strike again.
"Surrender immediately! For the sake of the past..." Chloe rushed to Cohen. She seemed to be in an abnormal mood. She gritted her teeth and said in pain: "I won't hurt you!"
Cohen was stunned and held the sword on his right side.
"For the sake of the past?"
"Do you still remember the past?" Cohen's heart moved, and he shouted in a low voice: "No matter how hard it is for our respective positions and interests, we should not involve the Tower of the End..."
But Cohen's offensive immediately stalled!
Kroesh's sword hit the side of his blade again.
"What a shame, Your Excellency Karabiyan!" Kroesi said bitterly. Her sword seemed to have a strange aura. The sword she swung instantly interrupted Cohen's offensive rhythm.
Damn it.
Based on swordsmanship alone, Kroesh is enough to rank in the top four among the eight seeds, second only to Miranda, Aiklin and that Nie Daren from the Eastern Continent!
Cohen gritted his teeth and sheathed his sword, turned around and blocked the other person's attack. At the same time, a wound was opened on his right shoulder.
But Croaich's long sword followed him like a shadow, and when Cohen's offensive was suffocated, he came in pursuit!
"Boom!"
Cohen returned to defense with his long sword and struggled to block the sword.
"'The Tower of Terminology is beyond politics'?" The short-haired female swordsman gritted her teeth and kept drawing her sword directly along Cohen's blade, causing a rhythm like a violent storm: "This kind of childishness
You should abandon your fantasy on the first day you leave the tower!"
Cohen used all his strength to break away from Croash's sword, only to feel that his offensive was completely disrupted.
"At least, the past of fighting side by side in the tower, isn't it a memory that we all cherish each other, and shouldn't it be noble and inviolable?" Cohen waved his left hand and used his thick coat to deflect a soldier's thrust, "
But you..."
At this moment, Croash, whose eyes were cold, suddenly activated her finishing power and struck out three swords in an instant!
"Cherished memories? Hahaha..." Chloe's words seemed to be filled with endless sadness and madness.
The first sword was an unexpected thrust, forcing Cohen to dodge and tilt to the left.
"I can't believe I ever liked you, sweet, pathetic, childish Cohen!"
Cohen was slightly startled.
The second sword cut without stopping, and Cohen had to raise his sword to block the opponent's horizontal blade.
Just listen to the short-haired female swordsman from the North say sternly: "As early as the moment we are born, we are branded with the country and politics, stamped with the seal of origin and blood, and we will never be able to escape!"
"We have no choice at all!"
The third sword is an unconstrained move!
"You won't become a free man just because you entered a tower that claims to be noble and refined. You will become a free man!" Kroesh's words were chilling.
She held the sword in both hands, with the entire sword centered around the area where Cohen blocked it, and turned the tip of the sword in an arc past Cohen's block, pointing at the security officer's face.
"Cohen Karabyan!"
"You damn fool!"
She roared miserably, and the weapon made a sharp sharp sound on Cohen's sword.
"hiss!"
The tip of the sword pierced the security officer's face!
Cohen, who was already leaning to the left and in an unstable position, felt that the long sword in his hand could not exert force, and his breathing was not smooth and he could not breathe.
The opponent's three swords were like an impassioned and complete movement, starting, turning, and ending, tightly trapping him in the established fatal rhythm.
Not allowed to escape.
This is unique to Chloe and completely different from Miranda - the Pegasus movement!
At this moment, Miranda's long sword seemed to destroy the accent of this movement, inserting itself into it.
"clang!"
She deflected Kroesh's fatal blow.
Unable to resist, Cohen switched positions with Miranda again to support the overwhelmed Wyatt.
"Chloësy, my former good sister," Miranda's black gloves made imperceptible friction on the hilt of the sword, and she asked her former companion in a cold voice: "Teacher Chartier really taught you for nothing!"
The next moment, the daughter of Arlend drew her trembling sword and pointed the sword at Croash's hilt!
"The Pegasus movement," she said coldly, "emphasizes resonance with the rhythm of the outside world and even the enemy, rather than you singing a one-man show!"
Miranda's sword blade slid downwards, stabbing the opponent's wrist during friction.
She chose the best time and the most tricky angle. No matter how Croash reacted, blocked or dodged, she would be at a disadvantage instantly.
But before Miranda could react, Croash's long sword flicked in the opposite direction. He neither blocked nor dodged, but faced the edge of the sword and stabbed the opponent's wrist!
"One-man show?" Crowe said fiercely: "You must have seen not enough shows!"
"Miranda Arrade!"
The two swords intersected in the air, twisted in a circle, and made a harsh friction!
The two female swordsmen, who came from the same sect and were the controllers of the Pegasus movement, were also listening to each other's strength and rhythm amidst the friction.
They are always ready to seize the opportunity, control the opponent's rhythm, and deliver a fatal blow.
Cohen's eyes moved.
In the battle of Pegasus, it is best for others not to interfere - in a situation that constantly changes with timing and rhythm, you never know who you are helping.
However, when the enemy commander was entangled and their attention was drawn...
Cohen felt the offensive that was gradually weakening in front of him and the enemy's pace approaching Croache, and made up his mind.
Chance!
He reminded Huai Ya, and the tall figure rushed out again.
Dots of blue light flickered on the sword and skin, and with the brilliance of the stars, he used the ultimate sword speed and power to launch a continuous offensive.
Blood splattered, both from the enemy and from his own. Cohen broke through the three of them in an instant!
He even left Miranda and Wyatt behind, and was about to break through a gap in the tight siege.
Just make a breakthrough and then...
Cohen gritted his teeth and moved forward desperately.
But right now.
A huge fist suddenly appeared from the crowd!
Cohen subconsciously slashed with his sword.
But that fist was different. It changed direction midway and hit Cohen's sword blade sideways without any bias.
"Boom!"
Cohen, who was urging the Glory of the Stars with all his strength, felt that the punch was almost impossible to dodge.
His long sword struck hard.
Like an ax that was chopping firewood smoothly, it suddenly hit an iron plate!
A huge force comes.
Cohen's sword blade was hit by this heavy blow, and the sword made an ear-piercing groan as it bent.
The blade of the sword bent backwards, and together with the heavy punch from the front, it struck Cohen hard on the left cheek.
At that moment, Cohen felt his ears roaring under the heavy punch.
The whole world in front of him shook.
The blood splashed from the face brought out the bright red vision.
In a daze, Cohen fell backwards.
But he had no time to think too much.
That punch...
That is……
No.
No!
Cohen fell to the ground, feeling extremely hopeless.
He subconsciously raised his right hand holding the sword.
But a more powerful arm pressed down on his hand, and the enemy's other arm pressed on his shoulder, twisting his fingers!
Kara!
"ah!"
Cohen groaned in pain: his right arm was dislocated.
"Clang!"
Cohen's family sword fell to the ground.
Wyatt looked at the scene in front of him in surprise: Cohen was completely defeated by the new enemy in a single meeting.
The power of termination surged in Cohen's body, and he wanted to make a final struggle.
But the opponent's elbow was like the most terrifying weapon, hitting his left back hard.
"Boom!" A muffled sound came.
Scatter the gathered brilliance of stars.
Cohen's face froze, then his whole body was shaken, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood in pain.
No.
"Don't move, kid," the visitor said coldly with a thick accent: "The glory of the stars originates from the heart - I don't want to break your heart with the next blow."
Huaiya looked at him in surprise, and was immediately overwhelmed by the enemies coming from both sides.
Cohen was dizzy and felt his body light up - he was being carried on his shoulders by the enemy.
No.
The vision in front of him kept shaking.
No.
The figure slowly walked into the battlefield.
Come to the place where Miranda and Croache duel.
"Miranda..." Cohen coughed up blood in pain, but there was no strength left in his body.
"quick……"
Cohen struggled in a trance and groaned:
"Run away..."
Such an opponent...
us……
Can't...
The next second, Cohen's vision went dark and he lost all consciousness.
Miranda turned around and caught a glimpse of Cohen being carried on her shoulders.
I also saw that figure.
She trembled all over.
Crowley, who was facing a sword with her, immediately seized the opportunity and twisted out the long sword!
"Qiang!"
A sharp metallic sound came.
The balance of power in the Pegasus movement ends here.
Both sides attack instantly!
"laugh!"
Miranda's expression changed, and she seized the opportunity when the opponent was unable to dodge with her long sword, and stabbed Chloe's left wrist.
"Boom!"
Croash's sword hilt turned in a circle and hit Miranda in the abdomen.
Chloe gritted her teeth.
Miranda swayed slightly and was about to fight back.
But at this moment, a sword was pressed down silently and without any hindrance.
The blade of the sword pressed against Miranda's shoulder.
That was the long sword that belonged to Cohen, and it was currently held in a huge hand.
Miranda only felt unparalleled power coming from the sword.
There was no escape - Miranda thought.
"boom!"
The next moment, the female swordsman was pushed to the ground by the huge force, and she felt that the power of termination in her body was chaotic.
The Pegasus movement was broken.
Chloe stepped forward with an indifferent look on her face.
He kicked her sword away.
"Clang!"
Miranda's sword rolled to the ground.
"Why?" Miranda couldn't bear the huge force anymore and was pushed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But she still raised her head stubbornly and looked at the person:
"Why is that you!"
She looked at the tall and sturdy figure and his head of white hair, and shouted angrily:
"Caslan Rumba!"
In front of Miranda, the pride of the Tower of the End, the legendary commander of the White Blade Guards, the owner of the Hero Tavern, the old man nicknamed "Shaker" remained silent and did not speak.
His face was expressionless, and he just continued to press the sword and carry Cohen on his back.
Until the soldiers from the Black Sand Territory came forward and took away the angry Miranda and the unconscious Cohen.
Waiya's angry shouts could be heard in the distance.
Croash calmly put away her sword.
"The Grand Duke just sent an order," the female swordsman said coldly, "He needs help there."
The old man turned around and looked at Chloe.
"A swift woman broke into the battlefield and rescued the boy," she adjusted her breathing:
"It's an extreme situation."
Kroesi straightened out her clothes, which were slightly messy due to the battle.
The old man looked at Miranda and Cohen walking away with extremely sad eyes.
A few seconds later, Kaslan looked calm and spoke slowly:
"Don't hurt them."
His eyes were full of deathly silence.
Kroesh raised his head and looked directly at Kaslan.
"Of course," she said slowly, "Uncle Kaslan."
"certainly."
Kaslan turned around and disappeared into the haze of dawn.
Chloe also turned around and gathered her troops.
Soon, the army from the Black Sand Territory left the ruins.
It seems like nothing happened.
A few minutes later.
"Hoola la!"
The sound of a pile of gravel falling to the ground.
As the sound got louder and louder, a hand finally reached out from the ruins.
A silver-faced man covered in scars opened up the rubble covering his body, covered a broken arm that had not healed, and crawled out in shock.
Rolf, the ghost in the wind, stared in the eyes, panting violently, and looked in the direction where the black sand leaders disappeared.
It was as if he couldn't believe what had just happened.
