Chapter 18: That Captivating Look



"My Lord, this man is a subordinate of King Griffith. His name is Lockwood, and he is called Rotten Wood because he holds a wooden stick in his hand. He calls this stick Rotten Wood, so he got such a title. Although he is an old man, it does not affect his fighting ability at all.

I think we should send Mr. Amirida to fight him. I think Mr. Amirida can definitely defeat him." The Swadian soldier obviously praised Amirida, who was also a Swadian, and thought that Amirida could defeat Lockwood, who was called rotten wood.

After hearing this man's title, Walsh felt unsafe. His side had several great generals to hold the fort, which boosted the morale of his side. However, Walsh also knew that among the more than 2,000 enemy troops, how could there not be a few powerful generals?

Lockwood is just a microcosm. Among the army of more than 2,000 people, there are countless generals with titles like him.

Wals originally wanted to let Amirida fight. Amirida was originally a knight with this title. Now, letting him fight against a guy called Rotten Wood should be enough to deal with him.

However, when Wals turned his head towards the direction of Amirida, what appeared before his eyes was a huge death sickle. It was exactly like the sickle possessed by the god of death in the legend, without a doubt.

The warrior who used this sickle was none other than Death Scythe Drewry, a general under Count Rayland. It was no surprise that he was on the battlefield now. He should have appeared long ago. I didn't expect that Eredar and Drewry would actually face off now.

In this case, Walls turned his gaze to another person. As a warrior who had followed him for many years, Ailen's strength was unquestionable. However, something that made Walls feel powerless happened.

Obviously, there is definitely more than just Kuchiki Lockwood with the title in the army of the Rhodok Kingdom. There are many people like Kuchiki Lockwood in the army of the Rhodok Kingdom.

That was a guy who used these two swords, and I guess he was also a person with a title.

Watching Airen fighting with the guy who used the two swords, Wals knew that Airen could not stop for the time being. After thinking about it, he realized that he had too few generals who could fight. After all, he only had a few hundred people.

How can I compare with the 2,000-strong army of the entire Louduk Kingdom? Those lords more or less have one or two brave generals. I am afraid that all my belongings combined cannot match them. I will wait quietly in my city for the reinforcements to arrive and then go out to fight them. This is the final victory.

"Who is that guy with two swords?" Wals asked the Swadian soldier beside him. The Swadian soldier quickly replied, "That's Madiq, the Dark Shadow Double Swordsman. He is good at using two swords and swinging them very quickly. That's why he is called the Dark Shadow Double Swordsman."

Wals nodded, confirming what the Swadian soldier said. It was just as the Swadian soldier said. Madiq, who was known as the Shadow Double Swordsman, did possess extremely fast speed. As he swung his swords continuously, Wals could barely see the outlines of the swords.

On this battlefield, Wals looked around and saw several fierce generals charging towards the city wall. Although his soldiers fought hard, they were still no match for these fierce generals. Fatis, Niza and others gradually moved closer to these fierce generals. They all knew their own importance. If they did not resist these enemy generals, these soldiers would have no way out.

It seems that I am the only one who has to go to the battlefield myself. Maybe if I go to the battlefield myself, it can boost morale and maybe we can hold on a little longer.

Wals stood up, and the soldiers beside him seemed to see what Wals was going to do, so they greeted him hurriedly:

"Lord, do you want to go out in person? No, you can't do that. You have to know that your primary responsibility now is to lead the entire army and command the battle. If you go to the battlefield and something happens to you, then we'll all be finished."

"Do you look down on me like this? Is there any doubt in my martial arts? Don't worry, I will definitely come back without any harm. I will bring back the head of the old man called rotten wood."

After hearing what Wales said, the soldiers nodded and said yes. Indeed, no one dared to question Wales' strength. Just based on the fact that he killed Hosbens, it can be seen that Wales' martial arts are definitely unmatched on the continent.

Walls took out his sword. Although the sword was not a magical weapon, he believed that after colliding with the rotten wood, the sword would definitely not break.

Soon, Walls rushed in front of Rottenwood Lockwood.

Lockwood saw Walls coming in front of him, and the Nord soldiers in the first row cheered. Yes, they saw their commander coming to the battlefield in person, obviously wanting to fight to the death with this hateful old man. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they had been waiting for this moment.

Go! Kill this hateful old man, the Nord soldiers who were bullied by Lockwood said fiercely in their hearts. At the same time, they were also celebrating that their commander was able to come down to help them fight this powerful enemy. With Lord Wals joining our battle, this old man will never be able to return alive.

Without further ado, Walls took the knight's sword and stabbed straight at Lockwood. The tip of the sword broke through the air, whizzed past and headed straight for Lockwood's head.

Lockwood's pupils shrank. All he could see was the tip of the sword. This sword could cause fatal damage to him. In all his years of fighting, this was the first time he encountered such a vicious attack right from the start. It seemed that the opponent wanted to kill him very quickly.

Judging from his many years of experience in fighting, this man was definitely the supreme commander of that group of soldiers. Looking at the happy expressions on these soldiers' faces, it was undoubtedly a manifestation of a great boost in morale.

Moreover, they must have great confidence in their supreme commander and believe that their commander can kill them.

After Lockwood made such a guess, a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was wearing a special armor.

Although it is relatively light, its protective ability is indeed much stronger than ordinary leather armor. Heavy armor will affect his speed, so Lockwood did not use heavy armor. This special armor can protect her body while avoiding reducing her speed.

Lockwood leaned his body back and gradually passed over her head. Seeing that Lockwood had avoided the attack, Walls changed his straight stab into a pickup without hesitation, and swung his sword downwards. This time Lockwood's heart suddenly began to pound, with the fear of facing death. Lockwood exerted force with his feet and rolled sideways, avoiding Walls' attack again, but Walls' colonoscope still left a mark on his shoulder.

Although the armor that Lockwood wore was very nice, Walls's scene still cut a hole in the armor, and a trace of blood flowed out from the broken armor.

"You... you pissed me off, young man, and you're going to pay for it."

After hearing the other party's threat, Walls laughed wildly twice. He actually had the courage to say such words. He had just used two moves to suppress the other party. No matter how you looked at it, he had the upper hand. He still had the courage to say such words. Was he trying to intimidate himself?

Seeing Walls laughing wildly, Lockwood himself was also unsure. Originally, those words were said in anger, and now he was regarded as a laughing stock by the enemy. However, he could clearly judge that this young man was definitely Walls, the supreme commander here.

Lockwood knew the reputation of Wals, who was able to kill the great hero of the Swadia Kingdom. After two exchanges of moves with Wals, it can be seen that Wals was not just a reputation, and he did have the strength to kill Hosbens.

"What are you still standing there for? This guy is the supreme commander of this city, Wals. He is the lord of this city. As long as we can kill him, this city will fall by itself, and King Graves will surely give us a lot of rewards." Seeing that he could not defeat Wals alone, Lockwood ordered his men to move forward and temporarily consume Wals's strength. As long as Wals's strength decreased, he would have an opportunity to take off Wals's head, which would be a great achievement for him.

As he was thinking this, the group of Rhodok soldiers under him hesitated. From the previous few fights, they could see how powerful Wals was to be able to beat their superior like this. Wals had the upper hand in both pictures. Even if they were stupid, they could see that their master obviously could not beat Wals. However, after hesitating for a long time, they decided to move forward and fight Wals to the death.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. No one knows what kind of reward King Graves gave them to enable them to overcome death and fight to the death with Walls.

With a crackling sound, Wals's long sword repeatedly collided with the weapons of those Rhodok soldiers. The straight blades had their own advantages. They raised their shields to face the shield wall first, and then stabbed their straight blades in the gaps between the shields. They fought very closely and it was obvious that they had been strictly trained. Wals knew without thinking that this was a group of elite troops, the elite of the elite in the Rhodok Kingdom.

Rhodok Sergeants They were all Rhodok Sergeants, arguably the second best infantry on the continent, ranking just below the Lutheran Royal Guards.

However, even though this group of Rhodok soldiers were unlucky when they met Wals, Wals's long sword flashed like thunder, and a Rhodok soldier's face was pierced by the long sword. The soldiers beside him were stained with the blood of this soldier. When they reacted, Wals suddenly appeared next to another soldier. Even if he raised his shield, Wals pierced the shield and stabbed directly into the heart of this soldier. The armor of the Nork soldier seemed to be like a piece of thin paper and could not withstand the beating. The soldier watched helplessly as the long sword pierced into his heart, with surprise and fear written all over his face.

The other soldiers were all secretly worried when they saw their companions in such a state. Their shields and armors were pierced at the same time. They had to admit that Wals's strength was indeed terrifying. However, even though Wals was terrifying, it did not mean that they had never seen people like Wals on the battlefield. Although such people were rare, this group of experienced soldiers had seen them before.

There is at least a powerful swordsman within the Rhodok Kingdom who possesses the same strength as Walls. He can directly pierce through a person and his shield, ignoring armor defense.

However, this person did not follow King Gryphus into the war. As ordinary grassroots soldiers, although they were the elite among the soldiers, they still did not have the power to access things that only the upper class could access.

If that person could appear here, this Wals would never be so arrogant. These soldiers muttered in their hearts.

At the moment when they were distracted, Wals slashed twice to the left and right, and two more soldiers from the Rhodok Kingdom fell down. There were two more bodies of his companions on the ground. This group of soldiers were obviously a little scared, and fear was written on their faces. In contrast, Wals's soldiers looked happy. They saw this group of soldiers fighting with their lord, and they picked up their axes without saying a word and started fighting with this group of soldiers. With the joining of his own soldiers, Wals swung his sword more easily, like a carp swimming in the water. Wals slashed left and right, and soon, more than half of the Rhodok soldiers were killed or wounded.

But at this moment, Walls felt a chill on his back, and gusts of cold wind blew over him. Without thinking, Walls defended his back with his whole body. With a clang, his sword collided with a wooden stick. The two of them collided directly with each other, but the power of the metal did not break the stick. It can be imagined that this wooden stick was definitely not an ordinary stick.

When he saw the smelly wooden stick, Walls knew without a second thought who was using this weapon. It was Lockwood, who had been hiding aside and had not dared to come out to fight.

Lockwood knew that these Rhodes and his soldiers were the elite troops under King Griffith of the Rhodok Kingdom. Now more than half of them were dead or wounded. If he did not take action, King Griffith would probably punish him severely when he returned to report.

Moreover, Lockwood discovered that Walls was still able to maintain sufficient physical strength after fighting with his soldiers. Lockwood knew that he must have encountered a powerful opponent. I believe that King Griffith below can see it clearly.

That's right, King Graves did see Wals's outstanding performance. King Graves, who had seen Wals before, naturally wanted to kill Wals as much as he could at this moment. He must not be allowed any chance to breathe, and he must die ugly.

King Gryphus waved his hand, signaling his generals to go into battle. As long as they could capture Wals, they could end this battle earlier.

In his excitement, King Griffith still retained his rationality. He knew that the people he sent were all his own people, but those lords did not even take out any of their parents. This was obviously unfair. King Griffith knew the strength of Wals. How could he let so many of his people die and be injured while those lords preserved their strength?

He should ask these lords to send some men to fight against Wals.

Today is destined to be a memorable day. It is indeed a significant day for Wals. When people recall this day in the future, they will be shocked by Wals' powerful martial arts.

Rotten Wood Lockwood gradually lost the upper hand in the fight with Walls, and two cuts had already been made on his body. The wounds were very deep and caused blood to flow continuously.

Damn it, am I, Lockwood, going to die here today?

Lockwood is quite old, and his military career has occupied most of his life. Watching his comrades fall one after another, he knows that one day he will become like that. However, after surviving one battle after another, he gradually feels that he will not die. But now it seems ridiculous.

Wals raised his knife and cut Lockwood's shoulder. This was the shoulder of the rotten wood. His stick could no longer be held in his hand. Lockwood also knew that his life was coming to an end. Without a weapon in his hand, how could he defeat the enemy in front of him? Even a Nord Royal Guard of Tang Bing could easily tear him in half.

"Wols, I know you are a skilled fighter and I am no match for you. It's a pity that I rushed forward foolishly and met you. If we fight, you will definitely win.

But King Griffus will never stop attacking because of my death. More fierce and powerful generals are on their way. You will definitely die today, Wals." Lockwood always made bold statements before dying. This was his last sentence. When he finished speaking, Wals's sword had already pierced Lockwood's neck. The neck was the weakest part of his defense. The armor did not protect it, so Wals easily broke through this layer of defense and killed Lockwood directly.

After seeing Lockwood's death, the surrounding Wals soldiers cheered loudly. They were of course extremely happy about the death of the enemy. Those Rock soldiers saw their commander dead and hesitated to retreat. Fortunately, they were an elite force and did not panic like ordinary soldiers. But in fact, they had already retreated in their hearts.

However, the scene that followed made the Rhodok soldiers who were about to flee suddenly stop in their tracks, because they could see that a group of reinforcements had arrived here, led by another general under King Gryphus.

"Black-backed Spear" Manwell, because Manwell uses a unique black spear. Everyone knows that the soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom are good at using swords and spears, which is the basis for fighting against cavalry. However, Manwell's Black-backed Spear is extremely powerful. The whole body is forged from a special black iron and is indestructible. It is three times harder than Lockwood's rotten wood. After all, wood is just wood, and it cannot be compared with metal that has been tempered into steel.

Moreover, the metal used in the Black Spear is definitely not ordinary metal. Although the Black Spear is not as good as those magic weapons, it is believed that it will definitely shine in this siege, because no one present has a magic weapon, but the Black Spear is better than most weapons.

"I don't need to say more, Lord Wals standing in front, you killed Lockwood, our brother who lived and died with us. This time, you can't escape again."

Manwell said something fiercely as soon as he came up, with murderous intent bursting out of his eyes. Normally, he and Lockwood did not have much interaction, but now was a good time to inspire everyone to fight against Wutou together, because he knew clearly that it was obviously impossible to defeat Walls by himself. In this case, then let's fight in a group.

Wals noticed that in addition to the Blackback Spear Manwell, there were some other generals whose attire was different from that of ordinary soldiers.

Just from their attire, you can tell that these guys are definitely not ordinary soldiers. From their eyes and their bodies, you can tell that they are generals commanding the soldiers. Judging from the badges they wear, these generals belong to different lords, which means that those lords have taken out their own belongings.

This was indeed the fact. King Griffith did not say anything. He just looked at the lords under him. Those lords felt frightened by King Griffith's eyes.

He had no choice but to take out all his belongings.
