The temperature dropped quickly and soon returned to its original value. The condensed water vapor brought a small area of rain, covering half of the Alazo Bridge. For a while, the smoke was hazy and dreamlike.
The smell of blood and burning was washed away by the rain and became inaudible, leaving only a mess on the bridge telling what happened here.
The rain only lasted for a short while and then came to an end. A rainbow crossed the bridge, as if another channel had been set up. At the other end of the rainbow, the boy saw the girl who was looking forward to it.
Seeing that Geer was safe and sound, Sophia smiled and trotted towards Geer on the slippery bridge.
"Let's go back to the original bridge." Geer rubbed the wet hair on Sophia's head and led her away in the direction she came from.
This time Gal had to admit that he still underestimated his opponent too much. Because with the intelligence support and personnel of the Brotherhood of Steel not far away, it was impossible for a large group of enemies to bypass the surveillance of the Brotherhood of Steel and threaten them.
When it comes to yourself, there won't be much danger along the way, even if Geer believes that it won't be difficult to deal with it by relying on his own abilities.
According to Geer's idea, the real threat would only appear after arriving at Winterset Castle, but he did not expect that his opponent would directly attack him. This almost unexpected attack caught him off guard. Although the duration was short, it was
The level of danger was by no means less than when he faced the Butcher Bullide.
As for using accidents to explain the attack of the will-o'-the-wisp monkeys, Geer will never believe it. He has never believed in any so-called accidents, and everything has its inevitable connection. In his eyes, this matter is very simple. Some people don't want to
He was alive - someone would benefit from his death - and he was attacked, that's all.
After this attack, Geer became more cautious and was not prepared to continue moving forward without fully understanding the situation. The safest strategy was to retreat to the bridge where he started and wait for the support of the Brotherhood of Steel to arrive. As for the bridge,
Is there any danger on that side? Geer will not make any unnecessary attempts. When he has enough cards in his hand, even if there is a threat, what is there to fear?
Moreover, Geer had one more thing he wanted to confirm, if it was what he thought.
The alternating passage of waterfall water vapor and dripping light rain caused a thin layer of mist to fill the bridge, which affected the line of sight to a certain extent. In addition, the carriage in front ran far away due to the loss of control of the horse. Gal and Sophia left.
It took nearly ten minutes to see the situation of the two family knights who were pulled behind.
Two people, no, to be precise, a living person and a dead person. Anta's upper body looked like a piece of coke. Judging from the way he lay on the ground, no living person would choose this way - burying his head in a puddle.
The ability of a living person to hold his breath is never as good as that of a dead person.
Gredo was sitting on the ground with his back against the bridge railing, mumbling to himself non-stop. The wetness under his eyes could not be distinguished from tears or rain.
There are also some mutilated corpses of will-o'-the-wisp monkeys scattered around. After a rough calculation, Beagle killed more. Obviously, this place also experienced a hard battle.
"Gledo, how are you?" After seeing Greedo, Geer, who was still some distance away from the two knights, said hello first.
"Ah, it's the young master." Hearing Geer's voice, Greedo seemed to be cleansed all of a sudden. He quickly stood up and choked with sadness: "I...I'm fine, but Anta...he
…”
"Is Anta dead?" Geer brought Sophia closer, but seemed to be a little reluctant to approach Anta's miserable body, and stopped after reaching a certain distance.
"Yes, Anta is dead, killed by these damn monkeys!"
"That's right, hey." Geer sighed sadly: "He is a warrior and died to protect me. I will have an explanation for him. Greedo, does Anta have any family members?"
"His wife passed away a few years ago, and he still has a teenage child at home. However, he was selected as a knight's apprentice last year and is undergoing preliminary knight training in the castle." As Anta's friend, Guledo was very concerned about his situation.
Know well.
"Well, the Colbenson family will not treat the warrior who has devoted his life to the family badly. We cannot let him leave without peace of mind. When we return to the castle, I will deal with it with the highest pension. Greedo, I still need one
If you want to follow me personally, let Anta’s son come over, and you will pay more attention to him in the future.”
"Thank you, Master." Greedo choked with gratitude.
"This is what he deserves. The warrior's body cannot be left like this. Let's come together. Let's find a place to bury him." Geer looked at An Dun's body quietly and made a decision after a while.
, turned to Sophia and said: "If you are timid, just stop looking, turn around and close your eyes."
"Okay, brother." Sophia obeyed meekly.
"Let me help." Geer walked towards Anta's body, which was being lifted up by Greedo.
Because Anta's face was immersed in the water, it still retained the appearance of his life, with an angry expression as if he couldn't believe that a dignified knight died at the hands of such a group of monkeys.
"Rest in peace, Anta." Geer bowed slightly, saluted to Anta's body, and then stepped forward...
Ding!
A clear and melodious sound like a wind chime suddenly appeared. This is a wonderful note that can only be emitted by the friction surface of the blade and the scabbard slide when the fixed knife is unsheathed. But what is hidden underneath is the cruel beauty and Geer's smile.
s face.
The silver sword light snaked upwards, drawing a mysterious arc in the air, pointing directly at the target...
laugh!
Greedo's right arm fell in response. The dagger hidden in the cuff could no longer be held, and the broken arms all fell on the bridge. The sword light did not stop, it turned around again, and stabbed Greedo's left shoulder accurately.
, passed through the body and nailed Guledo's body to the wooden stakes used to connect the railings.
At this time, Greedo's screams left his mouth and echoed on the bridge. His expression also became very exciting. In Geer's eyes, it was very similar to the expression that still remained on Anta's face.
"Stupid, you didn't even want to run away after you failed, and you still tried to assassinate me with such childish means..." Geer calmly dodged Greedo's Jedi counterattack kick, and then kicked him back, hard.
It hit Guledo's knee, completely eliminating his ability to resist.
At this time, Sophia, who was startled by the sudden screams, opened her eyes and saw the scene of Greedo being nailed to the stake. Although she was shocked, she did not scream and just watched quietly.
"You were responsible for the attack by the will-o'-the-wisp monkeys. You probably used scent or something like that. You deliberately bumped into me and hit the carriage before getting on the bridge, so that I and the carriage were covered with something capable of attracting the will-o'-the-wisps.
The monkey’s attack thing…”
Geer walked away a few steps and carefully picked up the cross sword that belonged to Anta. While expressing his judgment, the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually turned into indifferent ridicule.
"You actually think that I will trust you unreservedly after such an attack? You still think that by scorching Anta's body, I can't tell that the wound on his back was a sword wound. It was an attack from behind. You How do you think I just learned?"
Geer had always been suspicious before. He had been staring at Anta's body just now, also waiting for the biological brain to analyze and judge the cause of Anta's death. Although Greedo had made the wound very skillfully, it looked like it was caused by a will-o'-the-wisp. The monkey tore it and burned it, but this could not be concealed from the analysis of the biological brain, and it was even possible to tell that the wound was caused by the standard cross sword of the territorial knights such as Greedo, Anta and others.
After making this accurate judgment, Geer considered how to get rid of Gledo at the lowest cost possible.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, Geer has an accurate judgment on the physical fitness of Guledo and Anta. Each value is generally above 1.5, completely surpassing ordinary humans. In addition, they have gained from rigorous offensive training. With his swordsmanship refined over time, Geer didn't dare to say that he was 100% confident in a head-on melee confrontation. The butcher Bullide he had faced before left a deep impression on Geer.
And Geer's short bow and arrows fell into the deep valley with the carriage, and he climbed up with only a long knife and a broken cross sword. If he wanted to kill Gledo with as little loss as possible, then The best option is an unexpected surprise.
It just so happened that Gulledo was probably afraid that Ger would run away, so he was thinking of tricking Ger into the area and using a sneak attack to solve the problem. The two of them came up with the same idea, and it was up to them to see who could seize the opportunity best.
In this regard, Geer is definitely far superior to Gledo, and the result is the best evidence.
"I didn't expect... I made a miscalculation here." Greedo's screams had become low, and his face was covered with cold sweat caused by the pain. He knew that he could not escape, but he was so surprised by Geledo's unexpected performance. Still couldn't help showing a hint of shock: "No one would have thought that Griezmann, who is called a waste, would actually... hide so deeply..."
"Tell me, who sent you here, and I will give you a whole corpse." Geer looked at the "prey" that had no power to struggle. At this time, he did not bother to tell another lie to deceive Greedo. , give him hope, trick him into telling the truth, and believe that if Greedo is not too stupid, he should also know that he is definitely hopeless.
Traitors have no right to live in this world!
This is Baron Andre's rule. How could Ger, who has the same lineage, be an exception?
"I won't say it, haha, even if you kill me, I won't say it. Don't be complacent, you won't win in the end, Geer, you will definitely lose!" Guledo's eyes gradually became firm as he spoke. stand up.
"Very good, do you have any last words?" Geer said calmly.
"My child, my wife..." A glimmer of hope flashed in Guledo's eyes.
Geer cruelly shattered his hope: "They will pay for your mistakes! This is the responsibility they must bear!"
"You..." The desperate Guledo's eyes widened with anger, much like the dead Anta.
His expression remained like this forever after that, because the cross sword belonging to Anta in Geer's hand had penetrated his head, freezing his mind at this moment forever.
