Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 36: My turn!
Furyk was slightly distracted in his chair.
"Sir? Sir?"
The continuous shouting from his men finally brought Furyk back to his senses.
"How are the miners doing?"
Furyk, who had come to his senses, asked calmly.
"After killing a few of the troublemakers, they became much more honest. These lowly people actually forgot the kindness of the Lord and were willing to become slaves of the barbarians. They really don't know how to live or die."
The subordinate, whose blood was still on his body, grinned grimly.
"Go kill another batch."
"Pull out those guys with resentful expressions and kill them."
Furyk ordered.
"Yes, sir."
The subordinate took the order and turned away.
After his men left, Furyk was distracted again.
He was thinking about the eldest lady's plan.
As a butler, he knew long ago that the eldest lady was a bold and adventurous person.
However, after the failure of the plan several years ago, he thought that the eldest lady would be more restrained.
After all, when the distant nephew of the lord, who even he didn't know, showed up, the eldest lady quickly stopped her activities and took him directly to Bode in a changed appearance.
Without the slightest hesitation.
There is no symbolic resistance at all.
After arriving in Bode, the eldest lady became even more reclusive.
If he had not been suddenly told to return to Svetla County, he would have thought that the eldest lady would choose to live an ordinary life.
"Using the mine as bait, we will launch a surprise attack on Xueling City..."
“I hope it will work!”
Furyk thought silently in his heart.
Although he might face death this time, he was once the butler of the eldest lady's father and became the eldest lady's butler again after her father's death. He is still willing to take the risk.
Not just loyalty.
And kindness.
If he wasn't the eldest lady's father, he would have died long ago.
Died in the snow.
"Master, please rest assured."
"I will definitely help the young lady get back Svetla County at the risk of my life."
Furyk said softly.
Then the old steward stood up and went to inspect the mine.
For some reason, he always felt frightened after dark.
Faced with a bad premonition, the old butler, who is a supernatural being, will not be careless.
So, he gave the order without hesitation to slaughter those who might cause trouble.
This is true even if the other party does not pose any threat to him at all.
Standing at the highest point of the mine, Furyk looked at the 300 soldiers who were rotating - these were the elite soldiers left by the master, who gathered here as soon as the eldest lady returned to Svetla.
Thank you, Mr. Kendall.
The old butler thought silently in his heart.
If it weren't for this Excellency, they would never have been able to capture Snowfield City so easily.
Not to mention that they were able to set up this bait despite the extremely insufficient military forces.
After a round of inspection, Furyk prepared to return to his room to rest for a while.
Although he had gone through two baptisms, the old butler had not completed the qualitative transformation after all. As he grew older, his physical strength and energy were no longer as good as before.
After returning to Svetla Territory, the old butler felt tired after not having rested for several days .
Especially when he thought that dawn was the real critical moment, the old butler made a decision immediately.
However, just as the old butler was returning to the room, he suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
For some reason, he just felt like someone was watching him.
Without hesitation, the old butler drew his sword.
The other party walked towards the corner cautiously.
The tip of the sword was pointed at the shadow.
But there was nothing.
"I'm really old."
The old butler shook his head, turned around and went back to the room. He put on his clothes and lay down on the bed that originally belonged to the foreman. He closed his eyes, and after ignoring the restlessness, the feeling of fatigue instantly overwhelmed the old butler like a tide.
As the snoring sounded, a sharp dagger easily pierced through the bed board and pierced the old butler's heart.
The old butler was awakened before the dagger touched him.
But it was too late.
His already old body, coupled with fatigue and the daze from waking up from the shock, made it impossible for the other party to react.
"ah!"
With a scream, the old butler raised his fist and smashed under the bed.
But an invisible wind is faster.
puff!
[Blood Crow Spirit] slit the opponent's throat.
The old butler's hand, which had just been raised, fell down helplessly.
Goethe rolled out from under the bed, turned around and went out without stopping, heading straight for the mine where the miners were imprisoned - there were not many guards, only 6 people, but the explosives at the entrance of the mine made Goethe very concerned.
With that number, once it was detonated, the mine would definitely collapse and none of the miners inside would survive.
The [Blood Crow Spirit], which had already scouted the entire mine for Goethe, attacked again.
The two soldiers guarding the door had no idea that the invisible [Blood Crow Spirit] had entered the mine. The four soldiers inside the mine were guarding the explosives.
Keep the torches away from here.
In the darkness, two of them rested and two stood guard.
Even when resting, he did not put down the gun.
Moreover, it is very hidden.
This corner had obviously been chosen with care.
But, it's useless.
[Spirit of Blood Crow] has already figured out everything.
At this moment, it flew past at an extremely fast speed and directly took the lives of two soldiers on guard.
Goethe jumped out from the shadows, and the [Shadow Snake Blade] in his hand swept across the necks of the remaining two.
After doing all this, Goethe shot and killed the two soldiers at the door one by one.
Bang, bang!
Two sudden gunshots awakened the sleeping mine rebels and patrolling soldiers. They raised their guns and came here one by one.
But before they could get close, a flare was launched into the air -
Bang!
Fireworks exploded.
The roaring giant bear roared under the night sky.
The ground began to shake.
The cavalry, with their strength accumulated, launched a charge. The makeshift fortifications built by the rebels were torn to pieces by this elite cavalry, just like paper.
Everything happened just as Goethe had expected.
include--
Attack!
clang!
The sword blade swept past Goethe's side and slashed the wall next to Goethe.
The hard stone wall was cut open by a sword.
Just like cutting tofu.
A man holding a sword looked at Goethe in surprise, as if he was quite surprised that Goethe was able to dodge the sword.
But the opponent did not stop and stabbed again with the sword.
Goethe had no intention of engaging the opponent head-on. The sword just now had already told Goethe that if he hadn't used the vision of the [Blood Crow Spirit] to see the opponent, he would have been prepared in advance.
That sword had already split him in two.
The opponent is an invincible opponent!
Goethe came to the conclusion and retreated quickly!
Bang bang bang!
Goethe pulled the trigger repeatedly while retreating, and the bullets from the revolver instantly covered the enemy.
clang clang clang!
The sword swung continuously, cutting the incoming bullets one by one.
The figure of the man with the sword rushed in front of Goethe.
“Go to hell!”
The other party growled and stabbed out with the sword in his hand again.
but,
But a hand grabbed his wrist.
This is a broad, calloused palm, and the owner of the palm is a middle-aged man who is as strong as an ox and wears leather armor.
The middle-aged man exerted force expressionlessly.
Kacha!
The sword-wielding man's wrist was crushed.
The sword fell to the ground and the man holding the sword let out a wail.
"Art!"
The sword-wielding man shouted out the middle-aged man's name, but this did not prevent the accompanying captain of the Grand Duke's Guard from knocking him out with a punch.
"Master Goethe, are you okay?"
Art turned his head and looked at Goethe.
"It's okay. He is a transcendent of the Swordsman path?"
Goethe shook his head and asked.
"Well, I have completed the baptisms of 'Sword Ceremony' and 'Sword Smell', and will soon begin the third baptism of 'Sword Heart'. If I complete the third baptism, it will not be so easy for me to take him down."
Art, who has already embarked on the path of a 'warrior', said this truthfully.
“So that’s how it is!”
Goethe said this with a slightly frown on his face.
The reason why I didn't let Art take action right away was to test my true strength and what level I was at in the 'Anchor Point World'.
No anti-theft
But the result made Goethe somewhat dissatisfied.
There should be no problem facing an opponent with 1 baptism.
But facing an opponent who has been baptized twice, you need to try your best.
It is basically impossible for him to defeat an opponent who has been baptized three times.
What if the opponent has completed 3 baptisms?
That means you have no ability to fight back!
"I am now roughly equivalent to a transcendent who has completed two baptisms."
With his accurate judgment, Goethe once again longed for powerful strength from the bottom of his heart.
However, Goethe did not forget what he should do.
He walked towards the battlefield which ended before it even began.
A group of former soldiers, but after years of neglect, faced elite troops who trained every day. Given the latter's absolute numerical advantage, the result was self-evident.
Not to mention, there are extraordinary people hidden in the latter's team.
Those people were Art's team members, 10 people in total.
Therefore, Goethe's side won the victory at an almost negligible cost.
Most of the 300 soldiers were captured at Goethe's instruction.
At this moment, Goethe stood in front of the prisoners.
"I am Goethe Wayne, the Guardian of the North, the nephew of Grand Duke Scrooge K, and the new Lord of Svetlar. I understand your rebellion, but I am sorry."
"I understand your loyalty."
"But as the new Lord of Svetla, I have to announce that you will all be executed before sunset three days later - but in view of your loyalty, I am willing to give you a chance."
"If Ms. Yinnos is willing to come here and have a fair duel with me, I will let you go regardless of the outcome."
"Of course, if Ms. Yinnos wins..."
"I will return the entire Svetla to the other party!"
As Goethe spoke, the captives' eyes turned from hatred to surprise.
As diehard fans of the former Lord Svetla, these people love this land more than anyone else.
The obsession with this land even surpasses life and death.
Therefore, faced with Goethe's duel with territory as the stake, these people hesitated.
However, they did not lose their minds.
"Ms. Yinnosi has never learned any martial arts, how could she possibly defeat you?"
one of the prisoners shouted.
"Yes, that's right."
"So, I can ask Miss Yinnos to nominate a member who once served under Lord Svetla to duel with me."
"If you win, you can take back Lord Svetla and my head."
"If I lose, I hope Miss Yinnos will pay the same price."
"That's only fair, isn't it?"
Goethe said with a smile.
In an instant, a name popped up in the minds of these captives——
Kendalls!
They were tempted.
If it's Mr. Kendalls, he will definitely win!
You know, he is the guardian knight of Lord Svetla!
He is the person they respect the most!
He is also the strongest person in Svetla's territory!
How could a guy who couldn't even beat Lord Kendiel's disciples possibly defeat Lord Kendiel?
We can't lose!
The captives' eyes instantly became hot.
Goethe scanned the captives' expressions and knew that his plan was half successful.
Since Yinnos launched a rebellion in the name of Lord Svetla.
Then he would give the other party a more direct opportunity.
Faced with such an opportunity, the other party will definitely be tempted.
In other words, even if you are not interested, you will definitely agree.
Because, among the people gathered around each other, half, or even more, came because of "Landlord Svetla".
Regain honor.
Recover lost ground.
It is the dream of these people.
This is also the reason why these people follow Yinosi.
Yinnos naturally understood what would happen once this reason was lost.
By then, even if the other party has the support of the Tesin royal family, it will not be possible to continue.
Even if the other party has a thorough and adventurous plan, it will fail halfway.
As for promise?
That's even better, and that's exactly what Goethe wanted.
The other party came out of the darkness into the light, and the danger was greatly reduced.
Therefore, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Goethe achieved his goal.
Goethe raised his head, looked at the clear night sky, and sighed softly in his heart -
I'm sorry.
I really don't know much about military combat, and it's too late to learn now.
I can't guess what plan you have set up.
I don't want to give up this rare advantage I have.
So, I overturned the chessboard.
Let's go at my pace.
Now……
It's my turn!
