Chapter 91 Zhuo Ke IV(3)

"His Royal Highness Zhuo Ke!"

Zhuo Ke was brought back to reality from his dream. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the firelight shining outside the abandoned temple. The ominous wind howled through the loopholes in the building, weapons collided outside the wooden door, and war roars continued, shaking the temple to the point of collapse.

"There is an enemy attack, Your Highness Zhuo Ke!" After Ai Jia woke him up, he immediately picked up his long sword and killed him.

Zhuo Ke pulled out the long sword beside him, and the "Dark Star" glowed coldly under the light of the moon and fire.

Zhuo Ke's whole body was trembling with excitement. He quickly followed Aijia and rushed out of the temple.

The guards are holding their position in a neat posture, with the stone wall of the temple behind them. Hastezah's royal guards are famous for their excellent swordsmanship and discipline, and their years of training and experience are shown in every action.

Zhuo Ke joined them and saw clearly the appearance of the soldiers on the opposite side.

They wore rough steel open-face helmets, red armor, and orange cloaks - they were the same people they saw before evening.

There were more than thirty enemies. They held spears seven or eight feet tall in both hands and spread out around the guards, constantly testing their opponents with their spearheads.

Zhuo Ke and Edgar stood side by side. The guard commander had more combat experience than him. He had also participated in many wars in Vivalia as a mercenary.

He knew that Ajia must have a stern and determined face under his visor, which made Zhuo Ke more confident. On the battlefield, he hoped that he would be surrounded by dead soldiers like Ajia, not like the carpenter Harry.

coward.

After only hearing an order, the enemy soldiers began to slowly approach them. They raised their spears horizontally and kept moving the spearheads, closing the distance between the two groups.

"I need your cover." Zhuo Ke said to Aiga.

Aiga nodded understandingly, "Hold still." He ordered the guards.

The enemy continued to advance, and the sharp spear points were less than two feet away from them. Zhuo Ke adjusted his breathing. His sharp eyes could see the anxiety in the eyes of the enemy soldiers.

"Steady..."

The distance continued to shrink, and Zhuo Ke and the guards held their swords tightly in their hands to block the spears that were thrust rashly.

"rush!"

When the enemy's spears were about to reach their chests, Zhuo Ke and Ai Jia gave orders at the same time. Zhuo Ke cut off the spear pole in front of him with a vertical chop, and Ai Jia thrust Zhuo Ke's right hand towards him.

The incoming spear bounced away.

Zhuo Ke roared, and Aiga's cover gave him a safe right side. He turned to the left and used his long sword to resist the supporting thrust from the enemy on his left and continued to advance.

It wasn't until he reached the attack distance of his long sword that Zhuo Ke pushed the gun barrel he was holding away with his sword. He attacked crazily, and the Dusky Star in his hand followed his steps to lock his opponent in the dance of death.

, and ended with a sword piercing the heart.

The guards followed the method of Zhuo Ke and Aiga, weakening the numerical advantage of the spears, and inserted themselves between the spear shafts to shorten the distance between the two sides.

The enemy continued to retreat, while the guards continued to advance while maintaining their formation.

Zhuo Ke continued to destroy the enemy's formation, and was always careful not to let other distant spears get close to him. This was not a one-on-one duel. The formation was the entirety of the battle. Once the formation was messed up, he would lose his head. This was

The knowledge that the guards taught him.

As soon as he retreats to Ajia's guard team, Ajia will take a step forward and occupy the position on Zhuo Ke's right side, while Zhuo Ke is responsible for protecting Aijia's left side and putting all the spears away with force.

.

The enemy soldiers were constantly finding loopholes and fell one after another. Every scream encouraged the guards, who rushed towards the enemy's retreat.

Finally, the enemy threw down their spears and retreated, leaving their fallen comrades outside the temple of Mela.

All the guards survived, but four of them suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Zhuo Ke did not continue to pursue. He raised his sword and roared in victory, and the guards also began to celebrate.

"They are Doctors."

Aiga waved to Zhuo Ke. He took off his visor, held it with his left hand, and used his sword to lift off the orange cloak of a soldier's corpse on the ground, revealing the six diamond patterns on the red armor on their chests.

The experienced guard officer under the helmet had a resolute expression, his black hair was neatly trimmed, and his sharp brown eyes looked at the battlefield illuminated by torches with keen and alert eyes.

He had seen this look in the eyes of the swordsman Beldan Kavalek. It was the mark left by the soul after the severe test of war, a confident yet cautious attitude and unwavering determination.

"Are they following us?" Zhuo Ke asked looking at the Liuling family emblem.

"Yes, Your Highness." Aijia nodded, "Their soldiers are good at using long spears."

Why did the Doctors attack them? Zhuo Ke couldn't figure it out. The enemies of the Dukes were Queen Rozalia and her Korva family, which had nothing to do with the Hastza Empire. Unless these Dukes

I feel that the Apollyon family is also involved in this conspiracy.

Julius Doctor was dead, along with his two sons. This was what Zhuo Ke saw with his own eyes. The bodies of the three of them were stacked together with the guards of the Doctor family.

In addition to the Mostek, Perk and Jagolon families, the remaining four dukes were also arrested. God knows what kind of fate awaits them.

"It seems that someone told them about King Lin," Zhuo Ke sighed, "and they regard the Hastza Empire as an enemy, and they probably regard us as an accomplice in the murder of their Duke."

"Your Highness Zhuo Ke, it is no longer safe here." Aijia reminded him, "They are just the first batch of troops. More enemies will appear soon. The danger has come."

Danger is coming.

Zhuo Ke's head began to hurt. He put his hand on his forehead and rubbed it vigorously. The fire that appeared in his dream flashed in his eyes again.

Someone warned him in his dream that he was in danger, and the warning proved true.

The soldiers of the Doctor family, the dark clouds in the night, and the terrifying flames that engulfed all things, were the dream star gods Ahe reminding him of something?

Zhuo Ke closed his eyes and prayed to the gods, thanking them for their blessings, but he still had his brother to save.

"Hain, Dago, Gunter, Clovis." Zhuo Ke asked the four guards who were being bandaged: "Can you still go on your way?"

"No problem, Your Highness." Clovis replied. His left arm was scratched by the tip of the spear. "We are all minor wounds, and it won't take long to heal."

"I don't want you to force it, but we must continue to move west." Zhuo Ke said as he glanced at the guards.

"Excuse me, Your Highness Zhuo Ke, this is too dangerous."
