While he was sizing up his abilities, Walls didn't know that a pair of greedy eyes were already staring at him.
He is Costa, and he has committed many robberies in Sargos City recently. Of course, he is different from the gang of robbers who collaborated with the Sheriff.
He is a wanderer. The last time he committed a crime was in Uxhall. After that, the lord of Uxhall intensified the search, and he could feel that the situation was not good for him.
So he went all the way north to Sargos. After avoiding the limelight for a few days, he was ready to start committing crimes again.
Now he was preparing to rob Walls, and he was already eyeing his prey like a hungry wolf.
It can be seen from Walls' simple equipment that he may not be that rich, but among the many mercenaries here, he may be the best to deal with.
For example, the mercenary who was drinking heavily in the middle of the tavern had a big sword made of fine iron beside him.
If you buy it, it costs at least 5,000 dinars. But Costa believes that the power of this sword is directly proportional to its price.
Sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted. He doesn't want to risk it.
At least earn a few hundred dinars first. Costa is ready to take action tonight. He heard what Walls said. They will go to Cheze tomorrow. The opportunity must not be missed before it comes again.
.He must take action immediately.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was night. Owens and others stayed in another hotel. As for why they didn’t stay in this hotel, the answer was to save money!
This is not because Walls is stingy, but because he is forced by life.
Then under the dim moonlight, Walls began to walk towards the tavern where Owens was staying. He asked Owens, Alleyn and others to take a rest early, while he went to negotiate with the grocer to ensure that they had enough energy.
You know, the continent of Calradia is full of bandits, so you can't be careless on the way to do business. It is necessary to ensure sufficient energy. Therefore, it will be helpful if you can let one more person rest.
There are benefits to a little more.
Although Sargos's linen doesn't make much money when sold to carts, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, so you can make a little profit.
Therefore, Walls had a long negotiation with the grocer here. Finally, Walls lowered the price to a reasonable price and left the grocer's shop.
Now Walls was preparing to go to the hotel to have a good sleep. He didn't take anyone with him because Walls felt that the corrupt Sheriff had been defeated.
There won't be any robbers in the near future, so he just walked on the street like this.
It was a tiring and expectant night. Walls looked at the moon covered by dark clouds in the sky, but as a gust of cold wind blew across his cheeks, a chill came to his heart.
Costa hid in the dark and watched the prey quietly, sneering in his heart. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
He is an excellent hunter. Ever since he started committing crimes, he has never failed. If he had failed, he would not be here.
Originally, he thought that he would not get this opportunity. If Walls was with his companions, Costa's chance of success would be much smaller.
He might give up the idea of murder and robbery, but now. This is a good opportunity.
He was like a poisonous snake staying in the dark, slowly approaching his prey. He was almost there!
Costa held his treasured dagger, which was the sharp blade that Costa used to take the life of his prey.
For some reason, Walls felt a chill as he walked on the road. Although it has just entered autumn, the weather shouldn't be that cold.
Just when Walls was confused, Costa took action and quickly slipped behind Walls.
Then, he suddenly stretched out his left hand and was about to cover Walls' mouth, while his right hand, which was holding the dagger behind his back, stabbed Walls hard in the back.
He struck quickly and very harshly. If his dagger penetrated Walls' body, Walls would definitely die.
But just when he was about to succeed, a sudden change occurred!
I saw Walls suddenly stabbing the rusty sword at his waist backwards, just right on Costa's stomach.
"Are you relying on a rusty sword to kill the enemy with tetanus? It's still my Wolf King's Sword Fragrance!"
"Woo!" Costa whined. He was stabbed in the stomach, and a pain surged into his brain.
Damn it, I've never failed.
Feeling humiliated, Costa was unwilling to receive a blow in vain and returned empty-handed.
So he turned the dagger to an angle, pointed the blade of the dagger at Walls, and then swung his right hand in a shining arc and struck Walls' neck.
This move is still vicious. If Costa succeeds, blood will spurt out from Walls' neck.
But Walls had already been on guard. He swung his long sword upward just enough to deflect Costa's dagger, which only shocked Costa's jaws twice!
Costa began to face this opponent, and he hurriedly started the next attack. This eager attack was because Walls' sword had not been drawn out yet.
He needs to kill Walls before his sword is drawn out. If Walls draws out his sword, Costa's will be at a disadvantage.
This is not a small alley, but a wide street, which also means that Walls has enough space to wield his long sword, but Costa, who is holding a short dagger, will be at a disadvantage due to its length.
.
Just imagine, when Costa has not hit Walls, Walls can attack Costa with his long sword. This is the reason for the attack range.
Therefore, the user of the dagger must always close the distance with the person being attacked, so as to ensure that he can attack the person being attacked.
Soon enough, Costar's next attack was about to arrive. Walls had already prepared his sword, so he easily blocked another of Costar's attacks.
The sword must be drawn out quickly.
After feeling the cold air coming from behind him, Walls tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword at his waist.
But Costa was very fast, and his reaction speed was just as fast. Even though Walls stabbed him hard in the stomach, Costa reacted quickly. This made Walls
There wasn't enough time to draw his sword.
He is a formidable opponent.
When Walls flicked the dagger back, Costa felt a huge shock from his tiger's mouth.
In fact, the dagger is not suitable for blocking. The dagger is very short and cannot disperse the force well, which will cause the user's hand to suffer great damage.
Kosta did not launch another attack. Being hit twice in a row made his arm feel uncomfortable. He temporarily stopped his movements for the next attack.
But just at this moment of pause, what Costa didn't want to happen happened.
The scabbard was thrown aside, while Walls was holding his plain rusty sword, frowning, and staring at Kosta with his eyes.
Seeing Walls' prepared look, Costa adjusted the position of the dagger in his hand.
He changed from holding the dagger in his backhand to holding it in his forehand. Although holding the dagger in this way allowed him to use the dagger more flexibly, it lost the power of holding it in his backhand.
This is why Costa gave up the idea of defeating the enemy with one move and instead chose a protracted war.
The cold wind at night blew over their bodies, and they both shivered involuntarily. This was not because of the cold, but because of excitement.
Excited to meet my opponent.
"Come on, let's have a showdown." Walls pointed the tip of his sword at Costa and said.
And Costa also waved the dagger in his hand.
Both of them looked like they were going to fight it out.
This silent night became no longer silent because of the duel between these two people...
Suddenly, the one who broke the atmosphere was Dracelle, who was somewhere far away. He laughed arrogantly and said: "Two noobs pecking each other, what is there about silence?"
[System prompt: Have you never been a rookie? 】
With all due respect, I have always been a jerk.
The cold wind at night blew, and accompanied by a whistling sound of the sword tip, Costa dodged Walls' blow with his agile skills.
"What is this? I can do it too." Russell was very disdainful of this.
[System prompt: Please shut your mouth.]
When Walls saw that one hit failed, he immediately started the next one. He knew that his biggest advantage at the moment was distance.
So he just had to keep getting out of Costa's attack range without letting Costa leave his attack range.
In this case, it will create a situation where you can attack Costa, but Costa cannot attack yourself.
This is the best situation.
But Costa also knows that if this happens, it will be extremely detrimental to him, so Costa must find a way to close the distance with Walls.
This way I can attack him.
"I think you can attack his knees. Hahaha~" At this time, the naughty baron started to make jokes.
[System prompt: Aren’t you afraid that teasing others about being short will result in retribution? 】
As long as you don't mention it and I don't mention it, who knows?
As a lurker in the dark night, Costa is not a professional assassin, but a murderer and robber.
Unlike those robbers who rob caravans in the suburbs, he is a robber who specifically stays in the city and robs in this place where people think they are safe. He is good at using daggers.
Almost no one survives one of his attacks.
In the only accident, the man died after being stabbed twice.
