After entering the jungle, the Great Sword Master Calinan quickly found the footprints left by Lorist and a few drops of blood dripping from the wound on his body. With these as clues, he believed that Lorist would not be able to escape from his grasp. Although this unexpected Norton boy had added three scars to himself by virtue of his extremely superb swordsmanship and strange strength, his counterattack also caused the boy to suffer a lot. This Norton kid has already lost the power to resist.
The left cheek was in severe pain again, and the wounds on the left shoulder and right leg felt burning again. The Great Sword Master Kalinan knew that the rapid movement just now involved the grudge that sealed the wounds, and now the three wounds began to bleed again...
After cursing a few more viciously, the Great Swordsman of Calinan took out a small round silver box from his belt. Fortunately, the healing ointment was still there, and he did not expect to be injured when he set out. Bring this box of healing ointment, it will finally come in handy now.
Open the round silver lid, and inside is a jelly-like green translucent ointment. Great Swordsman Kalinan applied the ointment to the wound, then tore a few strips of cloth from his underwear and bandaged it indiscriminately, until he felt a cool feeling from the wound before he breathed a sigh of relief. Very well, Norton boy, when I catch you, I'll make you cry and beg to die...
Following the footprints left on the ground and walked nearly a hundred meters, I heard the sound of a gurgling stream, not good, the Great Sword Master of Kalinan felt something bad in his heart, so he strode forward, and sure enough, he passed through A large clump of shrubs appeared in front of the eyes, and there was another wide stream beach, and the footprints on the ground also disappeared when they reached the stream beach.
The jungle here is close to the Lancang River, and it is also the place where the streams from some nearby hills flow into the Lancang River. It is not surprising that there are so many stream beaches. But for the Great Swordsman of Calinan, losing the trace of Lorist was the most troublesome thing. He didn't know whether Lorist walked up or down the creek beach in order to hide, but what is certain is that, This Norton boy must not be far away from him, maybe he is hiding behind some big rock on both sides of the creek beach.
"Don't let me catch you, I'll definitely cut you alive!" Great Swordsman Galinan roared angrily, and listened immediately after scolding. Panicked because of his roaring and cursing, he no longer hid and fled far away, so he was found by himself.
It's a pity that the roar of the Great Swordsman of Kalinan echoed in the jungle, and there was no other movement except for a few small birds flying nearby.
"I don't believe it, it's just a few minutes faster than me, where can this kid hide..." the Great Sword Master of Galinan muttered to himself, now he can only use his senses to search This creek beach, find the hiding Norton boy.
Assassinations were not uncommon for the Great Swordsman of Calinan. During the civil war of the empire, the most frequent assassination of the leader of the opponent was between the eldest prince and the second prince. I don't know who was assassinated first, and then the two judged others by themselves, and they all believed that the other party did it. After all, the other warring parties were chivalrous, and they extremely repelled and hated the despicable act of secretly assassinating. But the eldest prince is cruel and ruthless, and the second prince is vicious and cunning. Both of them regard each other as the biggest rival for the throne. competitors.
Those few years were really lively. I don't know how many times the eldest prince and the second prince were assassinated. As far as the Great Swordsman of Calinan knew, the second prince promised several times to the mercenaries sent to assassinate him that as long as they succeeded, these lowly mercenaries would become real territorial nobles in an instant. It's a pity that all the sent people never came back, because the second prince was surrounded by two great sword masters, Jialinan and Lu Yinsi, and the great sword masters beside the first prince were not vegetarians either.
Buying servants and attendants, poisoning and long-distance killing are the most common and common assassination behaviors. The deepest memory of the Great Sword Master Calinan is that the first prince got a very beautiful dancer from nowhere, and sent it to the second prince through a down-and-out nobleman. The dancing skills performed by the dancer's soft and boneless body made the second prince very excited, and he carried the dancer to the bedroom before the banquet was over.
The dancer never dreamed that even when the second prince and her were having a good time, there would still be a great swordsman of Galinan hidden in the bedroom, and the two of them would be performing a real erotic palace performance in front of the great swordsman. After the second prince vented his anger and paralyzed on the dancer's body twice, the dancer finally thought that the time had come, and pulled out a small hairpin made of animal teeth from her hair. The blue bark pins indicate that this is poisonous...
Just when the blue needle was about to pierce the neck of the second prince, the Great Sword Master Calinan made a move and restrained the dancing girl. The second prince who got off the bed no longer had the tenderness just now. This dancer's fate was very tragic. She was tortured by hundreds of wolf-like guards for three days and three nights. Still dying, the second prince who heard the news coldly ordered to chop the dancer into meat paste and throw it to the wild dogs to eat.
This was the most thrilling assassination that the second prince encountered and the closest to succeeding. The angry second prince immediately launched a crazy revenge on the eldest prince. The two sides have been coming and going for so long, and it is true that they have met their opponents and met a good talent. No one succeeded. Even the mercenary who was recruited to be an assassin knew that this was a big hole that could not be filled, and no one was willing to jump into it. Sending to death, until finally no one has to stop.
However, in the assassin battle between the eldest prince and the second prince, the most unlucky one was the innocent third prince. What the eldest prince and the second prince faced were only the assassins of the other side, but the third prince was sent by both the first prince and the second prince. The unanimous assassination was mainly due to the fact that the eldest prince and the second prince did not want the third prince to take advantage of it for nothing, so the poor third prince was also shot while lying down. Can lie on the sickbed for a long time.
This time the second prince returned to his old job and sent the only great swordsman around him to assassinate Lorist. It can be said that he hated Lorist to the bone. With the temperament of the second prince, he believed that Lorist was the main culprit for his annihilation, being driven out of the Northland and being humiliated to this point. He would not give up unless he killed Lorist.
In the heart of the second prince, as long as the great sword master Jialinan made a move, there would be no reason for his failure. The only sword master in the former Krissen Empire has fallen in the last war of the empire against the Ford Business Alliance more than 30 years ago. Now, both the kingdom and the principality are headed by great sword masters, and the Great Sword of Kalinan The master is the closest to the sword master among all the great sword masters, and he can be called a half-step peak. As long as he can understand the last key and break through the current bottleneck, it is not impossible to be promoted to a sword master in the next ten years happened.
Apart from a few golden knights, the Norton family didn't have any great sword masters, so it was very safe for the great sword master Calinan to fetch Lorist's head. Although the second prince was crazy, he also had his own plans. Firstly, he used Lorist's head to vent his anger, and secondly, to demonstrate to other lords. Even if he lost his army, he still had a great swordsman by his side, so those disobedient bastard lords had to think about it, did they disrespect His Majesty's order and lose their heads
As for the Norton family's revenge, it was a joke. They sent troops to attack. The second prince only had to defend the capital of Windbury and wait for the reinforcements from his father-in-law, the Duke of Feisabrun. If it was an assassination, it would be death. With the Great Sword Master of Calinan by his side, no one could touch him in the slightest.
Even if the Norton family is powerful in armed forces and the second prince can't defend the capital, the Great Swordsman of Galinan can protect him and run to the territory of the Grand Duke Fesabrun. It would be great if the Norton family came in armed pursuit. The prince can just sit back and watch that old bastard father-in-law and the Norton family fight to the death.
Not only the second prince thinks so, but also the great swordsman of Calinan. He is just going to the Northland, and taking the head of that kid from the Norton family is a piece of cake. relax.
Although the second prince was just his apprentice in swordsmanship, the Great Sword Master Calinan had already regarded the second prince as his own son in his heart. He is obsessed with swordsmanship, and has no family or relatives. Apart from Lu Yinsi, the younger brother left behind by his master, the second prince, who has been learning swords from the Great Sword Master of Jialinan since he was eight years old, is already his closest person. Even though the second prince has all kinds of faults and habits, he is very filial to the great swordsman of Galinan. After more than 40 years of getting along, the two have become like father and son.
However, the Great Sword Master Calinan did not expect that this kid from the Norton family was so difficult to deal with. Not only did he fail to win, but he was also wounded three times by the kid's strange power, even though the kid couldn't get rid of it Well, he fled to the jungle with his wounds all over his body. But if he can't find him to bring back his head, then this matter will become the lifelong shame of the Great Sword Master of Galinan and cause people to laugh at him.
The sound of people shouting and neighing came from the edge of the jungle in the distance. It was the Norton family's armed reinforcements arriving, and they would also enter this jungle to search. The Great Swordsman of Calinan didn't care. If he was on the flat ground, he would have to back away from thousands of people, but now in the jungle, these Norton family armed forces can't pose a threat to him at all. They just come to kill as many as possible. .
But where did the Norton family boy hide? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction, so I'll look up again
In fact, the straight-line distance between Lorist and the Great Swordsman of Jialinan was only 20 to 30 meters. He did not hide behind the boulders beside the stream beach and the jungle. I climbed up, and then passed the tree trunk above, trying to stay away from the creek beach. After he slumped on the tree exhausted, he finally felt a sense of security.
Sure enough, the old swordsman named Jialinan began to search the boulders on both sides of the creek beach and the nearby jungle, focusing all his attention on the ground, hoping to find traces such as leftover footprints, but he never thought of looking up.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and after regaining some strength, Lorist began to treat the wound on his body. Just now when I was running away, I tapped a few acupuncture points to temporarily stop the bleeding, but climbing the tree made the wound ooze out again. In the jungle, bleeding is a big taboo, and those monsters with a keen sense of smell can easily follow them with the smell of blood. This is much more difficult than hiding it from the eyes of the old man who is a great swordsman.
Compared with the Great Swordsman of Calinan, Lorist carried significantly more healing medicines with him. There was a hidden pocket inside his outer robe, and there were three or four types of medicine powders, ointments, and potions for healing. But the most troublesome thing was taking off the steel wire soft armor he was wearing. In the last close encounter with the old swordsman, Lorist was hit more than a dozen times by the old swordsman's counterattack, and the soft wire armor on his chest was smashed to pieces by the sword energy. , the steel wires of the soft armor pierced into the skin in several places.
Gritting his teeth, Lorist managed to peel off the broken steel wire armor on his body, and the clothes on his chest were once again stained red with blood. Anyway, his clothes were soaked, so Lorist simply took off his clothes and ordered a few acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. First, he applied the medicine powder, then found a curved needle, and connected it to a long piece of gut in a small silver box. , gently cut off a twig in front of him, bit it in his mouth, trembling, endured the severe pain and used a curved needle to sew up those long sword wounds on his body...
After cleaning the wound and applying good medicine, he cut open and bandaged the underwear. Lorist was sweating profusely, and his head began to feel a little dizzy. From the inside of his robe, he took out a small flat silver pot. He poured two drops of the super healing potion into his mouth, closed his eyes and rested his mind for a long time before regaining consciousness and feeling some strength returned to his body.
Lorist put on his outer robe directly, and tied it with a strip of cloth cut from his underwear. Only then did he hear the sound of fighting from the creek beach. When Lorist stood on the tree trunk and looked towards the creek beach, he couldn't help but be surprised. It had already become a bloody battlefield. Hundreds of corpses of Norton family soldiers and war horses were scattered all over the stream beach, but there was only one enemy. , is that ghostly old man with an erratic figure, the Great Swordsman...
However, at this time, the Great Sword Master of Calinan was also in a particularly embarrassing situation, with disheveled hair, several wounds on his body, and a feathered arrow stuck in his back. The soldiers of the Norton family, the great swordsman of Galinan, had to cheer up and try his best to deal with them.
In the beginning, the Great Sword Master Kalinan was dealing with a group of longbowmen on horseback. The direct shots of dozens of feathered arrows did not pose any threat to him, and he even charged into these longbowmen and killed them. But he didn't expect to kill more and more, especially a long green arrow made him suffer a big loss. He thought that this arrow was just like the other arrows, and it was smooth, but he didn't expect the fighting spirit contained in this green feather arrow. A sudden explosion broke out his long sword, and dozens of feathered arrows shot at him, forcing him to dodge, and even got hit by an arrow in the back.
The great sword master of Calinan, who was assassinated by the assassination, was furious, and wanted to settle the account with the villain who assassinated him. Only then did he find that the one who shot the green feather arrow was a golden archer. The Great Sword Master of Calinan had no choice but to face the enemy, and finally found a chance to seriously injure the golden archer, and was about to take his life, but another golden knight rushed over and caught his ultimate move , let people save the golden archer.
Now the great swordsman of Calinan finally understood why the second prince's 100,000 troops were wiped out by the Norton family's armed forces. The elite soldiers in front of him were elite soldiers he had never seen before. Still fighting for the lead without any hesitation, just like the golden knight in front of him, with a solid foundation in swordsmanship, he was able to parry nearly a hundred moves in front of him before being cut down by his sword.
The serious injuries of the two golden knights did not frighten the soldiers of the Norton family. They rushed forward crazily to fight each other with their lives. They all threw themselves forward just to entangle the enemy, so that their partners could avenge themselves.
Killed more than two hundred or three hundred people, the great sword master of Calinan can't remember clearly, and his battle energy is almost exhausted. Even if he is a third-level great sword master, his battle energy is not endless, but stronger than the golden knight. It lasts only. When dealing with the soldiers of the Norton family, the Great Sword Master Calinan found that his battle energy was consumed extremely quickly. Those soldiers wearing standard equipment would consume more battle energy than ordinary iron armor to break with one sword.
When dozens of steel crossbows joined the battlefield, the Great Sword Master Calinan suffered another big loss. He did not expect that the arrows from these crossbows were stronger than the feathered arrows shot by the golden archer. Two wounds, one iron crossbow bolt grazed his left rib, leaving a long opening, and the other crossbow bolt passed through his right calf, leaving a bloody hole in it...
The Calinan Great Swordsman, who had been hit hard, had long since retreated, and if he didn't run away, he might really be left here by these Norton family soldiers. While he was still a little angry, he rushed into the jungle quickly, facing Lorist's hidden place. direction to run.
After healed his wounds and recovered his fighting spirit, he would naturally go to these Norton family bastards to settle their accounts! While running away, the Great Sword Master Kalinan was very upset. Seeing the bushes blocking the way, he jumped up and jumped onto a big tree in front with the last of his fighting spirit, and then lay down on the branch of the big tree.
Master Kalinan was very satisfied, this big tree branch is not bad, the trunk is thick and the branches and leaves are dense, it is absolutely impossible to find himself under the tree. Then he raised his head and was about to observe the surrounding situation, when he saw a pair of angry eyes and a gleaming sword blade in front of him: "Bastard, take your life!"
