Chereads / Seven Samurai / Chapter 111 - Chapter 19

Chapter 111 - Chapter 19

The series of actions in the deep scene were finally unbearable. The knight standing behind the original speaker pointed at the proud female knight and cursed: "Pay attention to your status, rookie! Don't think that just because you have a holy sword, you have much say. Regardless of what the captain is busy with. Work, what do you think when you see him? Are you relying on physical temptation? The person in charge of this stronghold is Biaki? What have you done during the day and are still willing to believe the information you brought back? You should first thank us for our tolerance."

Seeing the proud expression of the highest-ranking knight sitting in the center, the anger in Shen Jing's chest suddenly froze. She put the cool mask back on her face. The frustrations, feelings of jealousy and lonely practice that I have suffered in these days have already quietly shifted the position and shape of morality and the traditional spirit of chivalry, and the last flame of traditional chivalry in my heart has also been destroyed. One of the leaders of the Blue Shield Knights was extinguished.

She angrily picked up her helmet and turned around to go out, no one stopped her. But the last words of my colleague captured by my ears were so sad. "Don't worry about other things, we still have to prepare various matters and plans to eliminate the Banxian Group. ..."

"...and she just proved her incompetence."

Repeating those extremely hurtful words in a low voice, Shen Jing couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. All my past efforts seemed to have been negated by this sentence. In comparison, the damage caused by the annoying evil swordsman was not that deep.

After trying to cheer up his depressed spirit, the white figure of Yorkser Church came into view. Wiping away the tears, the greatest help I could give Magenta and the others now was to do my best to protect them and leave. Other than that, I can't seem to do anything. Perhaps what little Sir Max said was right, and he was indeed unqualified for such a knightly position.

After this incident is over, I will go back home and find a knight family with a good reputation to marry. This can make up for the shortcomings of his father's hope of training an excellent knight, and it also puts an end to his own thoughts of wandering around the continent and taking risks.

Relying on the guidance of the moonlight, the female knight Shen Jing returned to the Yorkser Church again. Tie up the horses, open the door of remembrance and enter the church.

"Hello."

What a familiar mocking greeting. The evil swordsman was sitting cross-legged on a bench in the chapel. Next to him was the light bag he was accustomed to using and the disgusting evil sword. Mages, rogues and priests also gathered together.

Looking at Magenta's expectant gaze, Shen Jing guiltily dodged the gaze and moved her turbid blue eyes to the side. "Sorry, I couldn't help." Seeing Magenta's disappointed look, Shen Jing quickly added: "But we are ready to leave now, so it should be too late."

"What's going on? Can anyone tell me. I just came back and I don't know anything." shu asked in confusion as he watched Magenta and Shen Jing frowning. Father Harrison sighed and said, "It's just for the warning of an attack by a bandit group."

"No!" Magenta's firm tone surprised everyone present. I saw a rare look of solemnity on his face, clenching his fists. "I always feel that no one from the Banxian Troupe will show up tomorrow. So we don't have to leave, and we don't have to let Sister Shenjing worry about such small things."

How can it be? Not long after this question appeared in Shen Jing's mind, shu smiled and put her arm around Magenta's shoulder. "Oh~ that's the thing. Magenta, do you plan to be a watcher and watch all night? By the time people show up, you will be almost tired. How do you make them 'not alone'? Won't he show up?"

He actually made such a plan! Shen Jing looked at the unfamiliar rogues in front of him with confusion. However, the unfamiliar expression quickly changed back to a familiar one, and Magenta held her head and moaned softly. "How to prevent them from appearing? How to prevent them from appearing?..."

"Tomorrow I will have some friends to help." shu took out a map from the bag on the ground, which was a relatively simple map of the outskirts of the town of Felanshen. Point to a blue line on the graph. "This is the forest by Yorkser Church, and this is the easiest place to cross the stream that runs through the forest. Magenta, you know."

The rogues who was looking at the map raised his head, thought for a while and then nodded in response. shu continued: "Then you go to bed early today and wait for a group of miscreants early tomorrow morning. Remember not to fight, and lead them to--" His fingers moved around the map, and they stopped at the water crossing point in the forest. Not far away, there was an open area with less dense shus. "──Here! My friends and I will prepare some traps here to meet these little things who have no humanity or personality."

"Wait a minute!" On the way to Yorkser Church, the female knight kept thinking about how to face the bandit attack, but always had no solution. She shouted in surprise: "How are you sure they will appear from here? ?" If you can confirm the opponent's route, you may lower your head and go back to find little Sir Max for help, and your chances of winning can be increased. Anyway, I have decided that this is the last time I will protect people as a knight, so I will put human life first and put my own pride aside.

Magenta also nodded her head, expressing the same confusion.

"Well~ Strictly speaking, that should be considered a prophecy."

"Ah!" "Ah~?" Two identical voices, but two different tones. The rogues seemed to be thinking of someone, but the female knight jumped up intuitively. "Prophecy! You actually believe in that kind of thing!" All the calculations in his mind came to nothing. Going back with such news will only lead to ridicule and lack of cooperation.

Next to him, Father Harrison looked at Mesago with a puzzled face, and the mage just responded with a "don't worry" gesture.

"Believe it or not, it doesn't make any difference. Just the pink letter will be fine. Right." He looked at the rogues who was sitting aside and thinking about it. "Magenta, in one sentence, can you help me?"

"help!"

"Isn't that great?" shu looked like the matter was settled. He stood up and spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I have to get up early tomorrow. I can't sleep late today."

"shu... who are you...?" Shen Jing looked at the evil swordsman with suspicion. I saw him posing and pointing his thumb at himself. "I'm a bastard evil swordsman who specializes in telling lies for the people I like!"

In the early morning, before dawn, Magenta gently kissed the bloodless palm in her hand.

He had hardly slept well these days. As if her butt was rooted, she kept sitting on the chair next to Sister Shen Jing's bed. Holding those cold hands, murmuring about the past time, hoping to spread some of my own warmth to another person.

But the pulse of life that he can feel is getting weaker and weaker. Sister Shen Jing could occasionally respond to her eyes and show a rather forced smile. Only when the situation is very good, he can say two or three words. Sometimes Magenta would feel that her eyes were resenting her, why didn't she speak more when she could speak. But she also immediately forgave herself, because she knew that her thoughts could be conveyed accurately to the person sitting next to her, and that was enough.

When the news of the Ban Xian Group reached rogues' ears, the person sitting by the bed occasionally disappeared. In the deep scene, she felt that the feeling of loss would only last for a while, and then she closed her eyes, retaining the remaining meager energy. I hope that the next time I open my eyes and see someone, I can spend more time awake. But her sleepiness became longer and longer, and sometimes she couldn't tell whether she was awake or asleep.

After relaxing and holding hands all night, Magenta gave the person on the bed and herself a blessing and left the room.

In the corridor, the female knight was leaning against the wall with one foot bent. Wearing only simple chainmail and boots, with the Holy Sword Gnarokk tied around his waist, his long honey-colored hair was tied into a ponytail due to the need for battle. Even though her eyes looked a little tired, she still couldn't hide her unique charm. She was also in deep view, which was the only thought in the rogues's mind.

"Are you going to listen to shu's so-called prophecy and follow his instructions?" Shen Jing changed his posture and stood in the middle of the corridor, looking at the back of the rogues who only glanced at her and then passed quickly.

The rogues who had already put on the Ghost Face Prajna stopped and turned around. "I have reasons to believe and have to do it." After saying this, he walked towards the stairs with silent steps.

Behind, there is a slight hesitation in the deep scene. But after taking the first step, there is no need to consider the second and third steps.

In the chapel, the evil swordsman and the mage were closing their eyes and adjusting their breathing. When the footsteps of the female knight caught their attention, they realized that the female knight and the rogues were already standing in front of them.

"Where are you going in this light outfit?" shu asked jokingly, looking up and down at the deep scene.

The female knight who looked away simply explained: "Wearing too much clothing will not keep up with rogues. It will only cause a burden."

After understanding the intention of the deep scene, shu smiled innocently. Pulled the magenta and revealed that scary ghost face. "Listen, don't be wary. Just lure them over. Living is the most important thing. A living soldier is more threatening than a dead general. After luring them over, leave the rest to us. ."

"Don't worry," Dai put his ghost face back to cover his smile, and Magenta opened the door of the church. "Someone is waiting for me to come back. It's not time to die yet."

The rogues's back was a little different from before, and his personality had also changed a little. shu laughed. It is very enjoyable to watch the slow changes of all this. I wonder what he will become in the future as he continues to grow.

There was a sudden neighing sound and the erect white horse startled the rogues. He quickly hid behind a distant shu. Even though he was wearing a ghost mask, he still naturally put the panicked expression he had in the past onto the already ugly mask. It turned out to be the white horse that Shen Jing rode. It seems that the spirit of rogues needs to be tempered. shu sighed.

The dawn is slightly shining on the distant mountains. This should represent a good beginning, but today it only represents the misfortune of some people. The weather seems to be in response to the bloody storm that may fall today, and the thick clouds are dyed red by the rising sun.

On a shu that was good for monitoring the surroundings, I saw only a ghost mask floating in the air. The rogues hid his whole body under the cloak of the chameleon and stared intently at the other end of the stream. Waiting quietly is not difficult for him, but a kind of enjoyment. His right hand is holding the handle of the Flying Divine Sword, his left hand is holding the cat's claw, and his mind is blank.

The other paladin hiding behind shu also maintained the same calmness. The failures in the past days were all caused by carelessness and lack of calmness. These experiences taught her the importance of calmness. In his hand was the short bow hung on the horse, and the arrow basket on the side was full of sharp arrows. The experience of practicing archery very hard supports my confidence, and I hope that the time spent this time will not betray me again. There have been enough failures.

"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!" "shua-shua!"

The sound of horse hooves, the sound of pulling grass... more and more sounds entered the ears of rogues and paladins. The rogues at the top first saw a flag that could be said to be shabby, with an exaggerated blood skull on it. That's right! They were the nightmares of many dead people in the past, but whose nightmare will they be this time?

The two men continued to stand still. They all know the distance of their attacks, and launching too early will only put themselves at a disadvantage as soon as possible. Counting the steps of the leader of the half-string group, watching them advance step by step. The beating in his chest seemed to follow the rhythm of their footsteps, jumping up and down.

We began to cross the stream. The stream that passes through the forest is the easiest to pass at this point, but the deepest part is also flooded up to the knees. The members of the Banxian Troupe carefully stepped on the river bed under their feet to avoid slipping due to the moss, which invisibly slowed down their speed a lot.

Aiming at the first target, the opponent's slow motion seems to be stationary in the eyes of the deep scene. Slow down your breathing speed and take a deep breath to fully draw the bow. "Whoosh!" The arrow hit the front door, and the first victim in this tough battle appeared!

The cat's claws poked out of the air, completely ignoring anything and just grabbing the first thing it hit. An unlucky robber had his right arm clasped by a rigid claw, and when he was pulled back, the robber's right hand was thrown into the sky following the trajectory of the cat's claw. Blood spurted out wildly, splashing on the people around him.

The cat's claw that was not retracted just spun around in the air, sweeping around with its sharp claws, always bringing out a pool of blood every time it scratched. The Paladin's arrows kept shooting out, injuring the extremely threatening bandit group.

"They're under shu over there!"

The casualties did not continue to increase, and the Half String Group had already discovered the location of rogues and paladins. A group of people holding up small round shields rushed forward, waving various weapons in their hands.

Putting aside the short bow in his hand, Shen Jing pulled out the first long sword under Gnarokke's frame and struck her. With a false stab, he temporarily forces his opponent away, then turns around and runs away. There were too many people catching up behind me.

With the help of the cat's claws, Magenta flew down from shu and kicked away a robber. At a glance, he saw that someone was already aiming at him with a bow and arrow. The rogues did not retreat but advanced. His body still in the air twisted back and twisted his waist. The cat's claws shot towards the position of the half string, and he swung towards the robber with his body. The center of the group.

"Damn it!" Shen Jing turned around after gritting his teeth. After unexpectedly knocking down one person, he faced the four strong men who followed him head-on.

Letting the function of the flying sword operate, Magenta followed a ball of white light and shuttled through this group of semi-chaotic bandits. Ignoring the weapons summoned to him, he allowed small wounds to appear. He just focused on running around, occasionally releasing cat claws to create even greater chaos. The changing colors of the cloak and the effect created by the ghost-faced prajna made these bandits almost mistakenly think that their opponents were evil spirits from the underworld, if they could not inflict wounds on their bodies.

"ah!"

It was a scream that was too small to be heard to enter Magenta's consciousness. Among the constantly changing scenes in front of her, there was one scene that stayed for a particularly long time. She was leaning against a shu with her whole body stained with blood, and she was surrounded by a thick crowd of people.

It's time to get out, but how? There were murderous robbers all around. With a flash of inspiration, Magenta rushed to position the cat's claw and broke through the air again. The moment he pulled away from the rogues, the surrounding robbers happened to fill the gap.

Facing the deep scene, a rogues falling from the sky stood in front of a group of robbers. He slowly turned around and blew out a puff of white smoke from Ghost Face Hannya's mouth. In an instant, the blood condensed, and the image of the ghost came to life in the minds of the robbers.

Even the female knight who was seriously injured and leaning on shu took a breath when she saw Magenta suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, and the pain in her body seemed to be overwhelmed by fear.

As soon as the mask on his left hand was lifted, Magenta's face was on fire and he gasped: "Oh my god! You can't run away from me. Oh my god! You're scared to death. Damn it! Don't catch up! Wow~" amid the screams , the right hand picked up the deep scene. As soon as he released the cat's paw in his left hand, the rogues ran away.

"Kill~!" The bandits who were chasing Magenta from behind overwhelmed the group that was standing there stupidly. Almost everyone was irritated by rogues running around. Only a few leaders on horses were seen suppressing the rioting people. But everything was in vain, there were still most people chasing rogues.

The group of bandits who stayed put wasted no time. They redressed, took out their bows and arrows, and chased the rioting companions in a tighter formation.

What a feeling it is to lean in the rogues's arms, with the wind whistling past your ears. Looking up at that... panicked expression, the evaluation that had risen slightly fell back to the bottom. However, these irrelevant emotions did not last long in the paladin's mind. What came into his eyes was a terrifying sight. A bunch of arrows suddenly came towards the two of them, and the bandits below began to shoot arrows wildly and disorderly.

"Be careful!" After spotting the arrow that was shooting straight at Magenta's back, Shen Jing planned to wave the holy sword in his hand to deflect it. However, excessive movements caused imbalance in the air. In order to maintain balance, the rogues twisted his body in a different direction from the deep scene. It was this twist that caused the arrowhead to penetrate straight into Magenta's shoulder.

Gritting her teeth, Magenta endured the pain. "Hold me tight, swing for the last time." The right hand that lost its power slightly let go of the female knight's body, allowing Shen Jing to cling to him. The cat's paw grabbed the branch of the last shu. As long as it could swing over, it would be the position agreed with shu!

"Huh~" "Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of wind and arrows kept ringing in my ears. The falling figure changed to being thrown upward, the woods suddenly became sparse, and dim sunlight shone into their eyes. The moment before the flash of light obscured her sight, Magenta vaguely saw shu's unique smile.

Let go of the cat's claws. The rogues and the paladin rolled onto the ground and fell in front of shu.

"You guys got there a little faster than expected." The evil swordsman stepped on a box and tied the black armor on his legs. He teased the two people who fell in front of him.

"You...!" The rogues stood up and saw dozens of people of different professions, but they were all wearing, or were wearing, black clothing or armor. Several people who looked like knights were also mounting their horses. Even the original red robe of the mage Mesago was replaced by a black robe. Satisfied smiles hung on everyone's faces.

The seriously injured paladin did not want to show his ugly appearance in front of others, so he also reluctantly used the holy sword Gnarokk to prop up his body. She saw the same thing as magenta, but her eyes were caught by a symbol sewn with golden thread. ...are they undead? It was a pure black sheep curled up and sleeping.
