Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 40: A Failed Gamble

Li Luoke yelled, and took a few steps back quickly, avoiding Alaka's offensive.

Under his order, the dozen or so Exeter infantrymen on both sides of Li Roc did not form formation or retreat, but rushed straight to the soldiers of the Fury Guards on both sides of Alaka.

Araka's expression darkened.

Amidst the roars and collisions, Ext soldiers clung tightly to the Fury Guards.

Alaka, who was protruding forward, was left alone in an instant, and there was no one on both sides to cover him.

Seven or eight Exeter fighters surrounded him with fierce faces.

Thales' complexion changed drastically.

Oops.

The reason why Alaka was able to maintain its absolute advantage over the front and attack the enemy without any scruples was largely dependent on the sacrifice and cover of the guards on both sides.

Otherwise, I am afraid that Alaka should slow down after killing ten people, and then fall into the tight double-team and siege again.

Moreover, facing endlessly multiple enemies, multi-directional attacks, and multiple weapons at the same time on the battlefield... As Ada said, even extreme experts cannot be unscathed.

When Araka is like this now, these wounds and consumption are gradually accumulating...

Araka looked at the situation in front of him and gasped slightly.

"Cover him!" Ada nimbly shuttled between the three Exeter infantry who cooperated tacitly, but she obviously didn't adapt to the rhythm of swords on all sides on the battlefield, and she would be unable to escape for a while.

"Cover Alaka!" She shouted angrily, "Otherwise, I will be dragged into the siege again!"

Huaiya was entangled by two enemies, and he couldn't get out of the battle quickly due to his injuries, while Putilei obviously didn't have the martial arts like the others, so he could escape calmly and cover Araka.

Behind them, the countless Exeter infantry who fell down because of the extremely fast breakthrough of the Alaka cone shock array ran to catch up again.

Rolf's eyes were wide open, and a gust of wind blew up rapidly, using scattered snowflakes to stop the Exeter soldiers in the front row behind him.

"The soldiers with the equipment of the Fury Guards are all entangled!" Puttilai was overwhelmed by the attack of a fierce infantry: "And our mission,

Even you, who obviously haven't fought a war, can't rush through! "

"Is there anyone else? Except for the Wrath Guards and the Mission?" Wyatt fought swords with the enemy inefficiently: "As long as we can break through this encirclement, and reach His Highness's side!"

A young soldier and an old soldier with a sword and shield turned their heads sharply in the fierce battle.

————

If there were members of the Fury Guards at his side, Araka didn't have to think about the threats to his side or behind him at all, he could just face the enemies directly in front of him.

But now he must face threats from all directions.

"Clang!" Li Luoke's giant ax slashed firmly on the mace that Araka had just snatched!

Araka roared like a wild beast, and even Thales felt the oppressive atmosphere,

The next moment, the eyes of Kingdom Wrath were red, and the mace holding the giant ax shook, and the power in his body burst out instantly.

"Clang!"

While the flames were flickering, Li Luoke gritted his teeth, and retreated in embarrassment.

"Behind..." Thales yelled nervously.

But before Thales finished speaking, Alaka turned his head in an instant, and roared angrily, knocking away the sword attacking from behind, ensuring that Thales would not be hit.

The Wrath of the Kingdom immediately turned around, dodging a spear thrust that came at the same time, and when he turned around, the mace in his hand flew out and was nailed into the chest of the swordsman behind him.

Without cover, Araka couldn't continue to attack. He paused and backed away, and dodged the blade cutting to the left vital, but a gash was still scratched in his waist, and blood flowed continuously.

"Maybe we should retreat and join the guards!" Thales endured the pain - his back was still scratched by the sword just now.

The beast-like man ignored the prince, he turned around with a low growl, a shoulder bump like a volcanic eruption, knocked the sword-shield hand that was too late to draw the knife through the shield, knocked it to and fro, and then thrust an elbow, knocking out all his teeth.

"laugh……"

With a cold face, Araka snatched away the opponent's knife, cut his throat, and poured blood all over Araka.

Without any time to rest, Kingdom Wrath quickly turned around, and a broad sword struck from the side and rear could only take away a streak of blood from his shoulder.

Araka then gave a low kick and hit the opponent's knee. Amid the sound of fractures, the latter groaned and lost his balance.

The sword of Kingdom Fury wiped his neck, catching his falling sword.

At this moment, the wind howled!

"clang!"

The loud noise made Thales' eardrums hurt!

I saw Araka's legs sinking into the ground, with a knife and a sword raised above his head, firmly resisting the giant ax that Li Luoke struck from top to bottom with all his strength.

"Precise control, just right, never wasted—is that right, the wrath of the kingdom in the extreme realm?" Li Luoke let out a fierce breath: "We rushed forward, and you killed three of us."

A spear hit Araka's heart, and Kingdom Wrath held the giant ax with both hands, twisted his chest inconceivably to let the spear point pass, and firmly clamped the stabbed spear under his left armpit.

Another spear pierced through the air, and Araka's finishing power was activated instantly, parrying the spear tip, and then firmly stomping on the thrusting spear!

Thales' scalp was tingling as he watched Alaka holding on to the two red-faced spearmen who were struggling to grit their teeth.

Not good.

Sure enough, the enemy didn't give him any chance to breathe. Two Exeter soldiers and two long swords attacked Araka's chest, abdomen and head.

Araka slashed away the sword stabbing at his chest, and then strangled the other sword.

"call……"

The roar of the giant ax piercing through the air strikes again.

"But this is a battlefield! There has never been a one-on-one!" The enemy commander smiled ferociously, and the giant ax struck in an arc: "Extreme masters also have limits!"

Howling angrily, several Exeter infantry appeared from behind Li Roque and surrounded Araka.

Thales touched his dagger in shock, and shouted: "Be careful!"

In the next second, the sound of the ax piercing the flesh and the blade clashing was horrifying!

"Puchi!"

"clang!"

Thales felt a chill down his spine, and his eardrums were in severe pain.

No.

The traverser panted, and stared wide-eyed at the huge ax blade that stopped firmly on Araka's left shoulder, cut through the breastplate, cut through the flesh, and stopped between the shoulder blade and the collarbone.

It was only an inch away from Thales' shoulder.

Araka gasped heavily, his dripping blood dripped all over Thales' shoulders.

The sword in Wrath of the Kingdom's left hand has long since disappeared, and he tightly grasped the handle of Li Roque's great axe, wrestling with the enemy commander while trembling slightly.

And at the front of the ax blade, a young star soldier with black hair and brown eyes knelt on one knee beside Araka, clenched his teeth, raised his hands above his head, and each held a pair of guns of the same length. The blade that cut into Araka's left shoulder.

"Damn bastard!" Li Luoke's eyes were red, and he burst out his finishing power, gradually pressing down on the ax blade in his hand.

The two spearmen wrestling with Araka also exerted force at the same time, trying to force Kingdom Fury to death here.

"Don't even think about it..." Willow Ken trembled with his two spears, and under the force of gravity and Li Rocco, he desperately pressed the giant ax upwards to relieve the pressure on Araka.

Araka gasped, looking at Willow with a complicated expression in the agony.

A gust of wind howled in the air, Rolf's figure glides over, and strenuously brushes past the Exeter's weapons, and star soldiers with two fortress soldier costumes crash into the battlefield, and Li Roque's subordinates who are about to join the battlefield The soldiers fought together.

A strong star veteran, with a shield, slammed over, knocking down the Exeter soldier who had just fought with Alaka.

A veteran of the Starlight Legion, Genard pressed down on the frantically struggling enemy, grabbed each other's sword hands, and competed in strength and endurance, trying to pierce the sword into each other's vitals before the opponent.

"Is there anyone else?" Thales pulled out the dagger with difficulty, hesitating whether to cut the rope that tied himself behind Araka, and asked nervously.

"There are only a few of us, and the Fury Guards and your subordinates are all entangled!" Genard, who was wrestling with his opponent, shouted desperately: "You better come in handy, a deserter with two guns!"

Willow blushed, and the hand holding the giant ax kept shaking: "I said..."

The Exeter infantryman, who was caught by Araka's right arm, put down his spear with a roar, pulled out a short blade from his back, and rushed towards Araka who was in a stalemate.

Araka freed his right arm, grasped Lirok's great ax with both hands, and released anger from his eyes.

"I'm not a deserter!" Willow gritted out the words between his teeth.

The soldiers with short blades rushed towards Alaka and Thales frantically.

Trembling, Thales cut his own rope.

"besides……"

"I really know how to use..." Willow withdrew his right hand holding the gun, and put his left hand against Li Roque's giant ax with difficulty, shouting desperately:

"Two guns!"

Willow's right hand jerked!

The Exeter soldier with a short blade, with experience, dodges the path of Willow's single gun.

Thales felt a chill.

Oops.

He missed.

But Willow's right hand jerked suddenly, the tip of the gun swung, and the handle left his hand.

"laugh!"

The Exeter lowered his head in surprise, the dagger in his hand dropped.

Willow's gun was out of hand.

And the tip of the gun was already stuck in his throat.

Thales let out a long breath and relaxed his mind.

so close.

Willow was panting with all his strength, and the left gun on the giant ax trembled and fell, exhausted and fell to the ground.

But Li Roque's great ax did not cut down.

Thales once again felt the new power erupting in the man who carried him behind his back.

Li Roque looked at his great ax in surprise, and was lifted inch by inch by the Kingdom's Wrath with both arms.

The beast-like man stood up from the ground.

"Didn't your officer tell you?" Araka panted heavily, trembling like a wild beast, his arms burst out with terrifying strength again, and pushed the giant ax forward.

"If you have a chance to kill me, it's best to kill me with one blow."

Li Luoke staggered and almost fell to the ground, but the subordinates behind him supported him in time.

"If I'm only injured but not dead... Hey..." Araka forced a sneer from between his teeth, and his aura suddenly changed.

The fluctuations flooded his eyes, and Thales was surprised to see the ripples and explosions in Araka's body, which were violently tumbling like volcanic lava!

Li Roque frowned, watching Araka's eyes glow slightly red, and the cut shoulder began to contract muscles, plugging the wound and stopping the bleeding.

what is that?

He recalled the legends of the Kingdom's Wrath.

No.

impossible.

He's only human after all, isn't he.

Amidst the shouts of killing around him, Li Roque roared angrily, summoned all his strength, and rushed towards Alaka with a few of his most trusted subordinates.

Seven or eight weapons were handed out at the same time.

————

"Alaka Mu, if he takes the lead in attacking, he will definitely be able to lead the Prince of Stars to break through farther," the Grand Duke Lunba, who was watching the battle from afar, sighed on the horse:

"If they break out in the direction of the fortress, the shock to the fortress will be stronger... Then our plan to lure Sutherley will probably be more likely to succeed-at that time, the morale of the fortress will not be Sather It’s a question of whether Lei wants to send troops.”

"It's a pity, I don't know who came up with the idea, but let them attack in reverse."

"Did that seven-year-old prince also agree to die like this?" Earl Levan frowned.

"It's useless to think too much," Rumba shook his head regretfully: "It is impossible for us to take down the fortress."

"There is another problem... As long as Mu carries that bow, it will be difficult for the light infantry to exhaust his strength through numbers." Viscount Canbida frowned and thought: "The encirclement of the light infantry on the north side is not as tight as that on the south side. There's a good chance he'll come out and come to us."

"Of course the siege of light infantry can't stop him." Earl Levan said in a deep voice, "But as long as the main force—whether it's an epee infantry attack or a charge of heavy cavalry, they can easily annihilate them...including Mu .”

"This will take away the life of the Star Prince." Viscount Canbida shook his head: "It's not a good choice... I'm afraid we have to make other plans."

"Please let me go, my lord," Lord Valha behind Rumba touched a strangely shaped saber, bowed slightly on his mount, with infinite fighting intent in his eyes: "I will definitely get rid of Mu's corpse." , and take back the bow that belongs to Exeter."

"If you can't dispatch the main force...then the only one who can fight against Mu here is me."

Valeha stared at the Grand Duke with scorching eyes: "Use the Rising Sun Saber to fight against the immovable bow."

Rumba stroked the sword at his waist, thinking carefully.

"No, I don't want any accidents for you," Rumba slowly shook his head and refused after ten seconds:

"Even if Mu didn't bring that bow, he's too dangerous."

A look of disappointment flashed in Valeha's eyes.

"After all, he has been fighting in the battle for half an hour, and he must have been covered with bruises, which makes him even more dangerous." Viscount Canbida took the words of the Grand Duke cautiously:

"We all know the legend of that man—I heard that the Tower of Terminus is specially named for his mutant power of termination?"

Rumba raised his head and sighed slightly:

"That's right—the fury of the sky, the power born for the battlefield."

Valeha clenched the knife in his hand.

Just listen to the Grand Duke quietly say:

"The more you fight, the more you get hurt."

"The more you hurt, the stronger you get."

————

When Thales came back to his senses, he was surprised to see that Alaka was charging backward at full speed towards the seven or eight people in front.

Without side protection, his breakthrough started again.

Facing the weapon ahead, Araka's body suddenly moved strangely.

This movement seemed to cause a wave in the air.

Thales on his back was dizzy for a while.

A sword sliced ​​through Araka's breastplate, leaving a deep gash in his ribs.

A chain hammer grazed his raised right leg, taking away a piece of flesh.

A saber was abruptly blocked by his right wrist, and countless sparks burst out.

Li Roc's great ax grazed his suddenly turned head, and the wind of the ax swept over his ears.

A spear barely slipped past his thigh.

The last knife cut across the bicep of his unprotected left arm, but not much blood was spattered.

It looked as if Araka moved slightly, avoiding all the vital points at the moment of the two-blade attack.

But Thales knew that this was by no means a simple "slight movement".

Araka didn't care how many wounds he had on his body, he just rushed forward with a frenzied expression.

Until squeezed between the enemies.

"Kill him!" Li Roc retracted his giant ax and ordered angrily.

But the slightly flustered Ext people obviously couldn't keep up with Alaka's rhythm.

The next moment, Araka let out a terrifying roar.

His right fist erupted with an astonishing wave of heat, and it slammed into the swordsman's face.

The crisp sound of bone shattering.

The Exeter howled wildly.

Araka laughed loudly, and the power of termination surged out of his body, and with great force, he bumped his shoulder into the shield of the Hammerman with his shoulder.

The latter snorted and flew back.

The Wrath of the Kingdom grabbed the chain hammer that the opponent had let go, turned around and smashed it, and knocked a saber that was coming towards the back of the head.

Between the red and white splashes, Araka turned around again, accurately locked a knife with a chain, pulled the enemy in front of him, and blocked a trailing long sword with his belly.

The swordsman who killed his comrade by mistake was stunned for a second, then Alaka grabbed his clothes and crushed his trachea.

Li Luoke howled angrily, and slashed across with his axe!

Alaka made an astonishing quick retreat, accurately avoiding the trajectory of the axe, and Thales, who had been dizzy from the sudden left and right battles, almost fainted.

But the next moment, there was an astonishing explosion in the body of Kingdom Fury.

He kicked his right leg back, jumped up instantly like a flying swallow, and rushed back to Li Luoke who was too late to catch the axe!

Thales's eyes flashed for a while, and his eyes suddenly blurred.

Araka put both hands on the handle of the giant axe.

"I like your axe, Exeter bastard."

Thales vaguely heard the laughter of Kingdom Fury, and Li Roque's desperate howl.

When he raised his head again, he saw Araka swung Lirok's double-sided ax and smashed it into the face of its original owner.

The latter flew out like a kite with a broken string.

The death of the commander made the surrounding Exeters start to hesitate.

But in the next second, the body of Kingdom Wrath actually shook!

He leaned his ax on the ground, gasping for breath, and looked at the row of Exeters with hesitant faces in front of him.

Thales was taken aback: "Hey... Baron Mu, can you still hold on?"

"I can't help it," Araka panted with difficulty, and said with a chuckle, "We still have to use this."

Thales was taken aback.

At this moment, an unprecedented feeling came from a burst of cold metal touch.

It's the bow.

That big bow on Araka's back!

Following Alaka's words, the silver-black bow that was attached to Thales' skin suddenly vibrated.

Thales was shocked.

At that moment, Thales felt a sudden burning sensation in his body!

It was as if a weak electric current was suddenly passed through the big bow.

As if repelling his touch.

In the next moment, Araka, who was exhausted, took a deep breath and trembled all over.

The Wrath of the Kingdom stood up slowly, and swung the giant ax easily, as if full of strength again.

"It's completely new." Araka showed a terrifying smile, and looked at the enemies with complex expressions in front of him.

The electric shock-like discomfort slowly passed from Thales' body.

Thales endured the discomfort caused by the big bow and asked, "What is this?"

Araka twisted his neck, showing his murderous look to the enemy again.

"This is the most incredible weapon in the world," he said with a grin. "Each one gives the user a corresponding ability."

Thales was startled, and looked at the silver and black metal bow again: "Legendary anti-demon weapon?"

He suddenly discovered that this bow did not have a bowstring.

"Yes," Kingdom Fury nodded, "No bow."

"Then, what is its ability?" Thales asked in amazement, even though he looked at Araka's physical strength as if reborn from the ashes, he already had the answer.

Only to hear Araka snorting:

"Forever."

Thales was slightly taken aback.

"Follow me!"

Araka, whose face was covered in blood, swung his huge ax and yelled at the comrades behind him.

Genard finished off his opponent, pulled up the exhausted Willow, and stood beside Araka from left to right.

Rolf followed behind them with a complicated expression.

Li Roque's death brought chaos to Exeter's brigade, and the Fury Guards finally broke through the infantry's entanglement.

"Hey, boy with two guns," Araka suddenly turned his head and looked at Willow.

Willow gave a jerk.

Three days ago, this man would send him to the gallows.

"It seems that you really don't look like a deserter." Araka snorted softly.

Willow looked delighted.

"But your guns suck."

Willow frowned again.

"Never mind," Thales behind Alaka smiled, "This is his way of saying 'thank you'."

Araka snorted coldly and walked forward.

"Next time change to a pair of long and short guns," the voice of Kingdom Fury came from the front:

"Guns of the same length . . . what a fool."

Willow froze for a moment, then smiled and followed closely.

The Exeters in front of them were not as dense as before.

Rumba's barracks is close at hand.

————

A member of the Fury Guard howled angrily, stabbed his sword into the body of an Exeter soldier beside Araka, and at the same time pulled out the ax blade from his lower abdomen, gasped for two breaths, looked at Araka weakly, and then fell to the ground.

Araka trembled slightly, but still didn't look back, breaking through the last layer of enemies.

The remaining members of the Fury Guards and the Mission finally broke through.

The light infantry in the rear, at the moment they stood out from the encirclement, as if they had received some order, they stopped chasing.

Before their eyes, they could already see the densely packed army of the Lunba family.

Thales raised his head in shock.

"Are you sure this is our chance?" Araka dropped Li Roque's ax in his hand, tore off the rope that tied Thales, and asked silently.

"We have to bet." Thales fell to the ground, felt the changing sense of balance, and retched a few times: "Bet that Rumba dare not kill me."

"The bet is my life."

But he was immediately picked up by Araka, put back on his back, and continued to move forward.

Putillai, who came from the rear, was covered in blood, and said wearily while rushing: "At least, Lord Sutherley doesn't have to hesitate between His Highness and the fortress."

Thales grabbed Araka's shoulder and nodded. He turned his head and suddenly saw Ramon who was still in the team.

"Is he still alive?" Thales frowned.

"Yes, even though I saw him in danger several times, he was lucky every time," Puttilai said apologetically:

Thales exhaled through his nose, and looked at Ramon with a look of lingering fear.

Knew it.

Puttilai continued: "The Wrath Guard suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of the veterans of the mission also died..."

Thales' face darkened.

He suddenly felt that Araka, who was carrying him on his back, also trembled.

"You'd better be right, little prince." Araka said in a low voice with an unstable tone:

"Just for you..."

He turned back to look at the scarred soldiers behind them and the countless corpses behind them with a bad face.

Thales also turned his head and looked at the corpses of the soldiers of the Fury Guards who fell in a straight line from far to near on the breakthrough path of Alaka.

Three days ago, they pressed their sword hilts with serious faces and confronted Sonia and her Starlight Guard in the fortress.

Three days later, they never returned.

"You want me to prove it to you—the strongest fighter in the stars?" Araka whispered.

Thales was taken aback.

"Here's the proof."

"I was never the Wrath of the Kingdom."

Araka frowned, breathing faster:

"It's just the Rageguard and their sacrifices."

Alaka turned her head and continued walking with the dazed Thales on her back.

The Iron Fist banner is not far ahead.

"Twain, Lothar, Gillian, Bolande..." Alaka gritted his teeth and called out one name after another.

"Without them, I would have died 10,000 times."

"They—the past, the present, the future, all members of the guard who gave their lives..."

"They're the real ones."

"The Wrath of the Kingdom."

Thales lowered his head with a complicated expression.

at this moment.

"Wait!" Araka shouted suddenly!

Thales was startled, and quickly raised his head.

In front of them, on the side of Exeter's barracks, a group of soldiers with few numbers but heavy equipment came out neatly.

Everyone also raised their heads and looked forward.

The only surviving star people suddenly burst into an uproar, and almost everyone was shocked.

"Damn it!" Ada punched Puttilai with a fist, and said angrily, "What did you do?"

"What did you do? No," Puttilai stared at the group of soldiers dumbfounded: "Everything is wrong today! It shouldn't be like this!"

Ramon screamed and fell to the ground: "I knew it! Follow this prince...it's just..."

Huai Ya caught up with Thales in panic: "Your Highness, please take cover immediately!"

Rolf was so nervous that he lost his mind and kept shaking his head.

Among the crowd, Willow poked Genard beside him with a strange expression on his face: "What is that?"

"What is that?" Genard also frowned, and he replied angrily: "The ferryman of the prison river!"

Willow shook his head ignorantly.

Thales looked at everyone suspiciously.

what happened?

Those few soldiers...

"Arc Shield!" Araka put down Thales and roared frantically: "Form the formation quickly! Adjust the deflection angle!"

All the Star Soldiers moved frantically, and the Fury Guards and the Veterans of the Fortress quickly took out the shields behind them... especially the ones with a strange metallic luster.

Soldiers lined up one upon another, building up their shields.

Although Xingchen inherits the tradition of the empire and is used to infantry formations, it is different from ordinary star formations. This time the formation is extremely dense. There is only one row. The direction of the road is tightly blocked.

Thales, who watched all this, asked loudly for no reason:

"What happened?"

"Those soldiers...what the hell are they?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

"You said you bet that Rumba wouldn't dare to kill you?" Araka broke the silence and said through gritted teeth.

Thales looked at Alaka's face in surprise.

"Looks like a failed gamble in the market." Alaka showed an angry face, pointing to the group of soldiers in the distance.

"See what greets us?"

Thales narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly found that the soldiers were holding strange and heavy long bars, with one hand in front and the other behind, aiming one end at their side.

this pose...

His heart suddenly trembled!

Araka's roar rang in his ears:

"Magic gun unit!"
