Chapter 96 Severely Injured

Blood, the bright red blood was flowing slowly down my chain mail. It wasn't until I saw the blood and felt the severe pain from the wound that I woke up. It's really strange to say, I really don't know when the axe hit my chest. It might be a few seconds before Bliss pounced on me, I didn't feel any pain at all.

I grabbed the two broken iron rings on my chest and fastened them to the chain mail to tighten the wound, but the movement made it hurt even more. I had no way to stop the continuous flow of blood, and could only hope that it would scab over and heal on its own.

Before we could even shout out further orders, we heard deafening howling all around us. Countless Germans with disheveled hair and holding axes and leather shields rushed towards us from the abandoned houses around us. The already messy phalanx was completely torn apart by the Germans who rushed in in droves. Just like in the forest of Ludinan, we were completely surrounded.

“Assemble! Assemble!”

While supporting me, Briss roared and blew the horn symbolizing assembly.

"Sir!" Brice said to me again, "Let's get out!"

After hearing what he said, I smiled bitterly and looked around. There were Germans everywhere. God knows where they came from. Or maybe the King of Burgundy really put a lot of effort into mercenaries!

"Where are you running to?" I said in an exclamatory tone, with my right hand on Briss's shoulder, and the shield on my left arm, but my palm was covering my injured chest.

"Brice," I called him.

"What's the matter, sir!" He looked at me.

"Call those who can still move to gather together, and let's see if we can fight them off!" The wound and the continuous flow of blood not only did not make me collapse, but instead calmed my originally restless heart at this moment.

Before I could arrange the problem for Briss, the assembly horn sounded in the front. It was blown in the direction of the century where Chief Centurion Guy was!

"It seems that not only us, but even the centurions under the chief centurion have been dispersed!"

I fastened an iron chain ring again and repaired the broken chain mail to a state where it could still remain intact. This freed up one hand, I let go of Briss, endured the pain and drew out the cavalry sword, slapped the shield, and told Briss: "Blow the attack horn and let our chief centurion know that we have not collapsed yet!"

"But, sir!" Brice pointed at the chaotic phalanx around him and said, "We can't even take care of ourselves now, why should we attract the Germans' attack like this!"

"There's nothing to explain!" I smiled and shook my head, pulled out a piece of cloth from my arms and stuffed it on the chain mail that was temporarily sewn on my chest, hoping that this would help stop the bleeding a little.

"We can't escape. We will die anyway, so it doesn't matter if we die early or late. We might as well make a contribution before we die, even if it means disrupting the Germans' offensive!"

After all, I am the centurion, so Bris chose to follow my command. He held the horn and pointed his mouth at it, but he didn't blow it. His eyes were very free, as if he was careless. In fact, I felt that he was worried. Looking around, the scattered centurions had lost control. Everyone was fighting desperately for their survival. All the defensive formations that were taught to win had been replaced by the fighting moves they had learned in their daily lives. Even if the attack horn was blown, it would be impossible to pull them back and re-form the square.

"Brice, there's no time, blow it!"

I was never sure about it, and attacking now is tantamount to gambling.

"So, sir!" Bliss left the horn and looked at me, asking me, "How should we attack? Where should we attack?"

"Towards the direction of my sword!" Facing a series of questions from Briss, somehow, I was full of confidence at this moment. I tightly grasped the hilt of the cavalry sword in my hand. At that time, I had only one thought in my mind: since I couldn't escape, it would be worth it to take a few people with me with the little strength I still had! "Then how many people will you call?" Briss asked again.

"Just the two of us!" I leaned down, facing the twin flags that were forced to be raised in front of me, and then looked at Briss, as if waiting for his horn that had been delayed in sounding.

Briss was moved. He paused for a moment without saying a word.

"What?" I asked him, "Are you afraid that I can't run?" Then I lowered my eyes to my chest. The blood had already stained the silver jewelry on my chest. It was a gift from Tenaia that Dr. Bella brought me. I looked at the silver jewelry, as if I saw Tenaia's face in the rough silver surface, although it was blurry. But her deception at that time, when I think about it now, I still have to be impressed by the cleverness of this girl. .

"Tenaia, I hope that if something happens to me by accident, I won't let that damn German snatch it away!" I murmured, holding the jewelry in my arms.

When I raised my left hand again, I saw the blood-stained silver ring. The touch of silver against the bright red really made me feel at ease.

"Oh, Ana, you are here."

I must have a mental illness. Looking at the ring, I suddenly had a lot of thoughts. Through the ring, I saw the time when I stood up to protect Anai. I don’t know why I became so brave. I can’t give a reasonable answer until now. I can only attribute it to the trembling of justice in my heart! Then I thought of the intersection when I left Ludinan, when Anai kissed my forehead. This touch of coldness made me feel like it just happened after so long.

"Blow it!"

I smiled, summoned up the last bit of courage, and reminded myself in my heart that I was ready! Brice gritted his teeth, as if he had used up all his strength, took a deep breath, raised the horn high above his head, and blew it hard.

“Woo!!!”

The loud horn sounded. I have never heard such a magnificent and loud horn. The deafening sound echoed in every street in Worms until it reached the air.

The Germans were startled by the sudden attack and paused for a moment. At this time, I mustered up my courage and rushed out like an arrow. I was facing a German mercenary. When he saw me, he immediately raised his shield because of his strict training.

I increased my speed once more, leaned down slightly, and slammed into him with my shoulder.

"Bang!"

The impact of this huge force caused the German to lose his balance and fall to the ground. I endured the pain in my chest, raised the cavalry sword high in the air, turned my hand downward, and stabbed it into his heart.

Blood splattered on my face. The German had a ferocious look on his face. It must have been very painful, but I was in the same pain.

I gritted my teeth and endured it, then pulled out the cavalry sword with a "swish" sound, and the blood rushed up into the air several meters high like a fountain.
