Chapter 250 The Value of Salvation
The Hawkwood shield, a worn shield covered in leather and cloth, covered with knife marks and wear.
Logically speaking, the Undead Squad, who use special swordsmanship, would not use shields, even though their idol Artorius is actually a big shield man.
But Hawkwood was an exception, because he was afraid, so he could no longer use the wolf sword technique that required ignoring defense.
Ignoring defense means disregarding life and death in battle. His belief in being able to disregard life and death was thrown away when he escaped.
The shield in his hand was found after he left the Undead Squad, and it accompanied him through all the battles thereafter.
Although he couldn't use the Wolf Sword Technique when using a shield, he couldn't use the Wolf Sword Technique anyway, so it didn't matter .
But at this moment... the shield shattered.
With a crisp cracking sound, cracks appeared on the shield in Hawkwood's hand. The next moment, the shield, which had been hit with all the strength of Captain Fran, shattered into pieces.
Pieces of debris fell to the ground, and Hawkwood took a step back in disbelief, staring at the shield handle still in his hand.
What would he do without his shield?
Hawkwood looked up again at his comrades who were walking towards Xia Yu and Captain Fran, his left hand trembling slightly.
How about running away? Just like before, I can be a runaway.
Anyway, this isn't the first time I've escaped. Since I've already escaped the first time, it's okay to escape the second time...
Xia Yu is so strong, even if he can't beat him, there should be no problem in escaping, so he should just run away, run away.
These thoughts kept coming to Hawkwood's mind, but his feet seemed to be rooted and he couldn't move at all.
Run away! Why not run away!!
Hawkwood cursed himself in his heart. Wouldn't it be fine if he just ran away like he did before? Why was he hesitating?
clang clang!!
A clear and loud metallic humming sound rang out on the battlefield. After joining the Undead Squad, Xia Yu, who had been interacting with Captain Fran, immediately showed signs of decline.
Looking at Xia Yu who fell down but still did not ask him for help or turn around to run away, Hawkwood almost bit his teeth.
Why, why don’t one or two of them know how to run away! Isn’t it okay to just run away? Why don’t they run away!
What on earth are you holding on to!!!
“Puff!”
On the battlefield, Xia Yu failed to dodge and was hit in the chest by Captain Fran's sword, and bright red blood splattered on his chest immediately.
Then the resurrected Undead Squad member also stabbed out with a sword, which happened to pierce Xia Yu's side abdomen, and with a strong cut, it also brought out large amounts of blood.
Xia Yu, who suffered such a severe blow, staggered and almost fell, but he did not turn around and run away. Instead, he supported his body with his sword and slashed again at the two members of the Undead Team who seemed to be about to fight.
But perhaps because he was too seriously injured, Xia Yu not only failed to hit the two men, but instead crashed into the attacking sword.
Just as Xia Yu’s body was about to be pierced by the sword, suddenly a figure appeared and took him away from danger.
"Why...why don't you run away?!"
Hawkwood gently placed the severely injured Xia Yu on the ground, and asked in a hoarse voice.
Xia Yu did not reply, but forced a smile, then closed his eyes weakly. Seeing this scene, Hawkwood's left hand holding the scimitar dagger began to tremble again, but this time, it was not a trembling of fear.
He stared with bloodshot eyes, slowly stood up from Xia Yu's side, and looked at Captain Fran and the members of the Undead Squad who were fighting.
Seeing his comrades and captain killing each other, Hawkwood held the greatsword horizontally in his right hand, with the tip of the sword pointing at the two of them, and his left hand holding the curved dagger was placed next to his right shoulder.
This is the special etiquette of the Fran Undead Squad.
The ceremony is over, and the sword is raised!
clang clang clang——!
The sound of swords clashing filled the air as Hawkwood joined the battle.
Hearing the sound of fighting, Xia Yu quietly opened one eye, and then saw three figures fighting as gorgeously as dancing.
Seeing that Hawkwood had changed to a special pair of weapons with a dagger in his left hand and a broadsword in his right hand, Xia Yu's mouth curled up slightly.
If he was about to die and Hawkwood didn't come to save him, or even just stood there watching, it meant that the other party was not worth saving.
But now it seems that Hawkwood is at least not a conscienceless person.
It's no wonder that he performed so hard, even deliberately bumping against the tip of the sword. Hiss... it really hurts a bit.
Feeling that the wound was still bleeding, Xia Yu took a breath of cold air, hurriedly took out the element bottle that had not been used for a long time, and took a few gulps.
Under the treatment of the element bottle, the bleeding wound healed quickly. A second later, Xia Yu stood up as if nothing had happened, then took out a mini camera and put it on his collar.
This fight scene must be recorded, and then Hawkwood will take a closer look and say that this is not street dance!
On the other side, the battle.
The battle between the three members of the Undead Squad was gorgeous but full of murderous intent. Every time they swung their swords, they would leave wounds on their bodies.
The ground where they fought was also full of potholes, all traces of the curved-blade daggers.
Puff——!
Another knife attack came, leaving Hawkwood with more wounds. Although he regained his confidence, it could not change the fact that he was weaker.
What's more, he hasn't practiced his wolf swordsmanship since he woke up, so it's normal that he can't beat the two of them.
But he has an advantage over the other two, that is, there are a lot of elements in his element bottle. As long as he takes a sip of elements, all the injuries on his body can be healed.
Under the powerful strength of Captain Fran and the hard work of Hawkwood, the awakened member of the Undead Team finally fell down and failed to stand up again.
Seeing this, Captain Fran and Hawkwood paused for only half a second before fighting again.
This time, without the involvement of the Undead Squad members, Captain Fran's attack was almost entirely focused on Hawkwood.
Under Captain Fran's violent attack, Hawkwood's face showed pain. He was almost beaten to the point where he had no power to fight back.
Both men were using the same swordsmanship , a special kind of wolf swordsmanship, so neither could break the other's moves.
However, the captain was experienced and strong. Even though he was corroded by the abyss to the point of losing his mind, his combat experience had already been integrated into his soul. Every move he made was enough to overwhelm Hawkwood, leaving him no time to drink the element bottle.
However, even though he drank the element as quickly as possible, he was beaten and vomited out by the captain before he could swallow it. He vomited as much as he drank.
Bang——!
There was another clash, and this time, Hawkwood couldn't even keep his balance and was knocked out by Captain Fran.
But just as he was about to stop himself with the curved dagger, a hand suddenly stopped his flying body.
"Okay, let me do it next."
Xia Yu, who was secretly watching the show on the side, walked up, helped Hawkwood steady himself, then gave a thumbs up and smiled confidently.
