Chapter 66: Escape from Death
"Come on, little chicken with a broken wing!"
The strong man said to Andrew in a mocking tone and slapped his shield, as if to encourage himself. Although he was covered with wounds and had almost no strength left, he was still so confident that he could defeat Andrew who had an injured arm.
Andrew looked at the sturdy man alertly, hunched his body and said nothing, slowly stepped back two steps, holding the Spada iron sword in his left hand, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at the sturdy man. There was no sign of retreat at all, it seemed that Andrew really wanted to put his life here.
"very good!"
The sturdy man's expression became even more ferocious. He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, making a crackling sound. He gritted his teeth and pressed forward step by step. Andrew was retreating. It was obvious that his left hand alone was not enough for him to take the initiative in the attack.
I just don't understand where Andrew got his sense of face from. Why did he still fight a duel that he obviously had no chance of winning?
"drink!"
The sturdy man took the initiative to attack, rushed forward and started slashing with sword. Andrew noticed this situation in time and immediately stepped back to avoid it.
"brush!"
The sword fell and missed, but the strong man did not stop his attack at all, and immediately raised the Spada iron sword and pressed forward step by step. Andrew still kept retreating and dodging, and had no room to fight back. Even though he was covered with scars, his offensive steps were not panicked at all, and he advanced step by step, hiding his whole body behind the shield and not letting Andrew seize any opportunity, making the attack flawless.
"Go to hell!"
As Andrew stepped back, the sturdy man lunged forward.
"Now!"
Andrew dodged to the side suddenly, raised his sword and stabbed it upwards, piercing the sturdy man's armpit.
Won? At that moment, I felt that the victory was decided, because Andrew seized the weakness of the strong man. I thought Andrew had grasped the first ray of victory.
“Boom!”
Andrew fell down suddenly and hit the ground heavily, because the strong man caught Andrew's weakness at the moment when Andrew swung his sword, bent his right arm suddenly, and hit Andrew's right face with his elbow. This force made Andrew's sword miss, and also caused Andrew to fall to the ground with an unstable center of gravity. Andrew tried to struggle to get up, but the strong man's shield followed closely behind him.
"Bang!"
Andrew was knocked to the ground again, and blood spurted out of his nostrils. Andrew was almost fainted by such a heavy blow.
"You really made me want to kill someone, a little chicken with a wing!"
The sturdy man raised his head, and the joints behind his neck made a "crackling" sound. His cheeks were red, and so were his eyes, which looked like they were about to burst out of their sockets. He stretched out his leg and kicked Andrew to the ground with his back, and stepped on his chest, holding the sword in his backhand, with the blade just above Andrew's heart.
“Andrew!”
I saw that the sturdy man was about to attack. Andrew's life was in danger. I couldn't just ignore it. I kept squeezing in the crowded crowd, but the bastards blocking the way in front were not easy to deal with. The more I squeezed forward from behind, the more they blocked my way. They didn't understand the principle of humility at all.
"Die! Die!"
The sturdy man showed a ferocious smile and slowly pressed his right hand on the top of the hilt.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
For some reason, Andrew aroused the anger of the crowd. They clenched their fists, not caring at all that Andrew was a member of the Roman Legion. They roared, eager to kill this cripple who shouldn't sing the opposite tune in the next second! "Listen," the strong man laughed at this time, and then said to Andrew, "This is not a grudge between you and me, but a fight between you and me. Unfortunately, everyone, yes, everyone, wants you to die, so you will not die in my hands, but die in the anger of all of us!"
Andrew didn't say a word from beginning to end, even now he was lying on the ground, he didn't say a word, slowly closed his eyes, as if he accepted the arrangement of fate. Perhaps because he was afraid that Andrew had other evil thoughts, the strong man kicked away the Spada iron sword in Andrew's hand before he took action. However, for some reason, the tip of the sword against Andrew's heart was stuck in the iron ring of Andrew's chain mail, and it took a long time to pierce it.
"Come on, what are you waiting for?"
"Amor, what are you waiting for? Kill this bastard!"
The soldier's reluctance to take action aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. They pointed at Amor and cursed him, and some even wanted to rush up to help him. If the people around him hadn't stopped him, Andrew would have become a dead soul at the hands of others! "Don't kill him!"
I shouted at the top of my lungs at the back of the crowd and tried to squeeze into the circle.
"Don't come over here!"
Amor raised his head and stared at me with his two red eyes. I stopped in my tracks when I heard him, fearing that this guy would put down his sword in excitement.
"Ah, Amor, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us!"
I explained.
"No, there is no misunderstanding between you and me, it's just with this guy." He lowered his head and glanced at Andrew. "His behavior is really annoying!"
"right!"
His tone seemed calm, but it was soon drowned out by the shouts of others. However, I found that Amor hesitated. He obviously realized the sin he would bear for killing his comrades.
"Why not do it?"
The guys around who were not afraid of trouble questioned Amor loudly. I could clearly see the sweat oozing from his forehead and dripping down his cheek guard. Although he was acting in the name of the soldiers, he did not have the confidence to take action.

“That’s enough!”
A shout exploded among the crowd like thunder, and before Amor could come to his senses, a silver light flashed.
"when!"
Amor screamed, and the Spada iron sword in his hand was knocked away and fell at my feet.
I looked closely and saw that it was Guy. He had been silent for a long time and finally came out! "Chief Centurion!"
Amor exclaimed in a low voice. Guy said nothing, took a big step forward, leaned forward on the left side, and knocked Amor down. At this time, Guy stood among the soldiers, with an uncontrollable flame of anger in his eyes. He raised his sword and looked around at everyone.
"Don't you know who's the boss?"
With a roar, the surrounding soldiers fell silent. Guy pointed his sword at the soldiers and walked around, with the tip of the sword pointing at every soldier's throat.
"What? After escaping death with great difficulty, you don't want to live anymore?" Maybe everyone has forgotten Guy's identity.
"Remember this!"
Guy said, stabbing the Gemini Legion flag in his left hand into the ground fiercely, pointing his index finger at himself, and said slowly: "Here, I am the boss, I have the right to execute every one of you, and you, humble soldiers, have no right to kill each other, and you don't even have the chance to do it!"
As he was speaking, Guy suddenly turned around and swung the sword with his right hand.
"brush!"
Amor stood there in a daze, staring with his huge eyes in shock, blood gushing out of his neck. He opened his mouth to say something, but his lips parted and blood came out. He fell to his knees, his strong body falling to the ground like a giant tree.
Guy is crazy! This was the first thought that came to my mind, and I took the opportunity to run over and help Andrew up.
"Oh, and you too!"
When Guy said this, my heart skipped a beat. I looked up and found his two bloodshot eyes fixed on me.
"It's over!" I screamed in my heart. I held Andrew's right arm with my left hand, and turned my back to press the hilt of the sword at my waist with my right hand. I didn't want to die like Amor without any resistance.
