Chapter 166 Take Away

I had thought that he would catch up, but I didn't expect that he would catch up so quickly. I looked around, and those cavalrymen were all lightly armed, and they seemed to be scouts, but they were more than enough to deal with me.

"My lord, my lord!" The old coachman curled up on the ground and trembled. He didn't dare to raise his head. "I know nothing, I know nothing, my lord. They tempted me with gold coins."

"Oh." Levi took out an Oren gold coin from his pocket, showed it to the old coachman, and asked, "Is this the gold coin?"

The old coachman then raised his head from the ground and looked at the gold coin, then nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, my lord, it's all my fault that I had improper thoughts when I saw the money. I was wrong, I was wrong. I hope you will spare my life!"

"Get up, I don't mean to blame you!" Levi waved at him, indicating that he should push down. The old coachman understood at this time, lowered his head and slowly stepped aside, without saying a word.

"Then let's settle the score between the two of us, you lowly thief!" Levi said, showing the Oren gold coin again and said to Anais: "Did you see it? Don't you see it yet? He is not a hero at all, he is just a thief who stole money!"

"I won't allow you to insult him like this!" Anais stood up from the carriage and glared at Levi. Her standing up did not scare Levi, including everyone present, but made Levi even more arrogant. He raised his head and looked at me with undisguised contempt in his eyes.

"The so-called great hero is nothing but a coward hiding behind a woman, Orius Luca, am I right?"

"You're talking nonsense..."

Anai wanted to defend me, but I held her back and said in a deep voice, "Anai, stop talking. He is right."

"But Luka, he is deliberately provoking you!" Ana turned around and looked at me anxiously. She suddenly held my face and said, "Look at me, look at me! Tell me you are not provoked by him, tell me you are not!"

"But he's right!" I looked down at Ana's eyes with a serious expression. Levi was right, I shouldn't hide behind a woman, I should play the role of protection, not being protected like now.

I bent down and picked up Levi's iron sword from the carriage, pulled it out with a "swish", and pointed it directly at Levi.

The cavalrymen around me suddenly pointed their guns at me, as if I would hurt Levi in ​​the next second. However, I didn’t know whether I could hurt him or not. Perhaps Levi was the only one who knew the truth among all the people present.

"What? Orius Luca." Levi sat on his horse, crossed his arms and looked at me. "Are you going to duel with me like we did in Ludinan?" Levi said, pointing at the sword in my hand and asked me, "Are you going to use this? Use my weapon, no, the weapon you stole from me to duel with me?"

"What? As a captain of the guard, you only have this kind of weapon in your hand?" I asked him.

"Oh, of course, there is another one, but didn't I give it to you? What, are you not satisfied, or did you sell it and squander the remaining money?" Levi said seriously, but the sarcastic tone made the scouts around him laugh. All of them were making fun of me, embarrassing me, and confirming my identity as a good-for-nothing little thief.

I was speechless, I didn't know how to respond, I was really embarrassed. The rough men were laughing at me all around, I was holding a sword, I was angry because of my powerlessness. But what could I do? This might be the sadness brought by being ordinary, when facing difficulties, we often show our powerlessness.

"So, are you still going to duel with me?" Levi asked me again. I thought about it for a moment and felt that this was an inevitable situation. Although I was not absolutely sure that I could defeat him, for Anai, I still wanted to give it a try.

"Levi, I, Orius Luca, formally challenge you!" I endured the ridicule and taunts from all around, pointed my sword at Levi, and said, "If I win, I will take Anais with me, and you can no longer interfere in our lives!"

"So you lost?" Levi continued to cross his arms and looked at me with disdain.

"I never thought I would fail!" I said, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and looking at Levi.

“Ha, interesting!”

Levi laughed loudly, his expression becoming more and more arrogant. "Duel? Orius Luca, look around you, what qualifications do you have to challenge me? This is completely unnecessary. There are many ways to die!"

"So, what do you mean?"

"I don't intend to duel with you at all, Luca. You are not qualified to duel with me. And I, from the beginning, never intended to reason with you, a thief. You are a thief, and you squander my gold coins openly, so I don't mind being a robber and taking back what doesn't belong to you!"

“You dare!”

I stood in front of Ana, but at this moment, I felt a hard object hit the tendon behind my left knee. I was attacked by surprise, and I didn't have time to react. I lost my balance and fell to my knees on the carriage! "Luga!" Ana screamed, but then her voice stopped abruptly. I turned around and found that a scout had jumped onto the carriage and grabbed Ana, covered her mouth, and tried to drag her off the carriage! "Levi, you despicable guy!"

Andrew roared and pushed away the scout who tried to kidnap Anai. He roared and lifted the scout up and threw him off the carriage like an angry brown bear.

"Bang!"

The scout who rushed up from behind Andrew swung his lance and smashed it on Andrew's back. Andrew stumbled forward two steps, and was greeted by a rain of sticks. They tried to avoid using the sharp spear heads and attacked us with the spear shafts instead.

"Anai!"

I endured the pain from the cramp in my leg and struggled to get up and grab Anai, but at this moment my right leg was hit hard by a lance from the other side, and the cramping pain made me kneel down on the ground again.

"Luka!"

At this time, another scout climbed onto the carriage. He grabbed Anai's hair and pulled her under the carriage.

"Leave Anai to me!"

I endured the pain in my legs and stood up again.

"Bang!"

Another stick hit me on the back of the head. I felt a buzzing sound and suddenly I saw stars. Then everything went black and I fell heavily to the ground. Then I didn’t know what happened next.
