Double Sword Dancer

Chapter 5 Double Sword Dancer

"Father Bain is going to be in trouble this time!"

  "Corruption? Smiling Will, that guy can be corrupt. I remember that guy is a guy who regards honor as his life?" "

  What do you know, corruption? It's just an excuse. He was actually involved in the internal struggle of the Klein family."

  "Following the wrong person?"

  "No, he was with the right person, but he didn't know that he was not as good as he imagined in that person's heart. Important."

  "What do you mean?"

  "Idiot, he is being used as a pawn in the deal!"

  Among the people who came out of the tavern to watch the excitement, there were many businessmen traveling from various cities. These people are far better informed than the average person. Few, and the low-pitched conversation between them revealed the recent power changes in Red Lake City.

  Linde already has some mutated hearing, and can easily hear the content of these people's conversations, thereby understanding the reasons for the current situation, and then judging what to do.

  In fact, without Father Bain's orders, Lind had already planned to take action with all his strength, because he needed Sir Crowe Klein in front of him to make a name for himself in the aristocratic circle of Red Lake City.

  Thinking of this, Lind nodded to Father Bain to indicate that he understood, and then without even looking at Sir Crow, he walked to the open space in front of the tavern and said in a calm tone: "Come on!"

  Lin De's expression and behavior were obviously beyond the expectations of everyone around him. They felt that Lind should be angry and unwilling, or worried and fearful.

  After all, as an innocent person who was involved in the internal fight of the Klein family, was inexplicably targeted, and even forced to engage in an extremely unfair duel, he should have some strong emotional fluctuations no matter how he looked at it.

  But Linde behaved extremely calmly, facing a heavily armed opponent as if he were an ordinary person, not taking the opponent seriously at all. This made everyone think of all the rumors about Linde during this period.

  At this moment, the expression on the face of the soldier selected by Sir Crowe also became solemn, because Lind, who looked calm, brought extremely strong pressure to him. This pressure was like facing something. It was like a terrifying existence, which made him think of the rumors about Lind devouring the spirit of the mountain bear.

  However, at this moment, just like Linde in front of him, he had no way out and could only bite the bullet.

  So, when Sir Crowe showed a hint of impatience on his face, he took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the sword, and rushed towards Linde without any warning. At the same time, he swung the sword diagonally according to his own habit. , slashed at Linde's shoulder and neck.

  Looking at the sword that was attacking, Linde did not panic at all. He took a step forward as if taking a walk, and tilted his body slightly, easily avoiding the sword that was slashing at him. Then he saw He rushed forward suddenly and bumped into the soldier.

  The soldier was knocked to the ground by Lind without any resistance. Before he could react, he saw a foot stepping on his neck. After a burst of severe pain, he completely lost consciousness.

  At this moment, everyone around was quiet. They didn't understand what happened just now. They just saw Linde taking two steps, and the soldier fell down. Then Linde stepped on and broke the soldier's neck, ending this battle.

  Sir Crow saw that his men were killed by Linde, and it was difficult to maintain the calm expression on his face. He only saw a gloomy face, and motioned to another soldier beside him to let him go. He took over from his predecessor and continued to fight against Linde.

  The soldier also had a grimace on his face. He knew very well that his strength was about the same as that of his companion. Since his companion was solved so easily by the other party, it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat him. But he had no way to escape now and could only bite the bullet. Rushed forward.

  As a result, just like the soldier before, Linde got rid of the soldier with the same ease, as easy as cutting off a piece of grass on the roadside.

  Discussions suddenly came from the surroundings. It was obvious that Linde's combat power was a little too strong. Although there were some mercenaries in the surrounding caravans who could deal with such soldiers, they could never do it like this. Linde was so relaxed, and what was even more terrifying was that after killing two soldiers, Linde still looked calm, making people feel that he did not take human life seriously at all.

  "The spirit of the mountain bear is the spirit of the mountain bear!" There were many people from Bai Village in the crowd, and many of them were very familiar with Linde's character and behavior in the past, and everything he showed now was obviously very different from the Linde they remembered. The gap also made them believe more and more in those magical rumors about Linde.

  As the person involved, Linde was not affected by the surrounding sights and conversations at all. He bent down, picked up the swords of the two soldiers, waved them casually, got used to the weight of the swords, and then pointed towards the noble in front of him. , said: "Let the rest come together!"

  After hearing Linde's words, Sir Crowe's face became extremely ugly. He felt that he was humiliated. He originally thought of recruiting Linde after seeing Linde's strength. He came under his own command, but now he only wants to deal with Linde and erase the humiliation that has fallen on him.

  "You guys come up together." Sir Crow shouted at the remaining four soldiers.

  Although the person who proposed to come together was Lind, Sir Crowe's actions still aroused disdain from the people around him. Some hidden but still audible boos came from the crowd, which made Sir Crowe feel sad. I was extremely embarrassed, and felt more and more disgust and annoyance towards Linde in my heart.

  After hearing Sir Crowe's instructions, the four soldiers did not immediately step forward. Instead, they looked at each other and each took off the wooden shields they carried behind their backs. Then the four of them cooperated with each other to form the most common shield. Wall formation, advancing towards Linde.

  Seeing four soldiers actually using this kind of fighting stance against one person, the people around him felt even more disdainful. All the boos they had been hiding let out, and the open space was suddenly filled with all kinds of boos and insults. As a result, even the people in Baicun Village who didn't have a good relationship with Lin De complained about Lin De.

  However, Linde did not show any panic at all after seeing the military formation composed of four people. He was still very calm, no different from before.

  However, unlike the passive counterattack just now, this time he chose to take the initiative. He rushed towards the gap between the shields of the two shield-holding soldiers in the middle, seemingly trying to destroy the opponent's formation through collision.

  This method is also the most common method used by knights to fight against multi-person defense formations. However, this method has a premise, that is, the knight wears heavy armor, which can strengthen the collision force and can also defend against surrounding attacks, allowing Even if the collision fails, he will not be injured.

  But now Linde was only wearing a thin short shirt. It seemed that Linde's collision was leading to death.

  The two soldiers facing Linde's collision thought the same way. They pressed their arms against their shields in an attempt to resist Linde's collision. Even if they didn't stop Linde, they still had to slow down Linde's momentum and let both sides The soldiers can cooperate with the siege of Linde.    

  The other two soldiers seemed to have guessed the thoughts of their companions, and they also cooperated tacitly. They raised their swords and prepared to slash at the position slightly in front of the shield.

  However, something happened that shocked everyone. Linde rushed in front of the four people, and when he was about to hit the shield, his momentum disappeared abnormally, and then he moved on his feet like a superb dancer. With the steps of a waltz, the whole person whirled around in front of the four-person shield wall, and circled behind the four people before they could react.

  While Linde's body was spinning, the two swords in his hands did not wait. Instead, as his body rotated, he slashed at the backs of the four targets' necks with precision.

  The gyration force brought about by the rotation of the body, coupled with Lind's own arm strength, made the four soldiers' necks unable to withstand this attack at all. Three heads were cut off directly, and were carried away by the remaining power on the sword. Go out, and the remaining head is still connected with a layer of flesh, hanging down at the wound.

  Blood spurted out from the wound on his neck like a fountain, spilling around and staining Lind's clothes red.

  The previous boos directed at Sir Crowe and the four soldiers disappeared instantly, and the surroundings became silent. Everyone looked at Lind in stunned silence, and could only hear the sizzling sound of blood.

  "Bear hunter!"

  "Bear hunter!"

  ...

  I don't know who was the first to shout Linde's nickname. The silence was broken instantly. Cheers with various accents came one after another. Even the people of Bai Village also shouted. They cheered excitedly, as if they were the ones fighting just now.

  Although the battle just now was very short, only a few seconds, and it almost ended in the blink of an eye, but for the people around them, this was definitely the most exciting battle they had ever seen, and it seemed that they had not seen it in their memories. No one has ever been able to defeat four opponents so quickly and magnificently.

  "Don't come here!" At this moment, Sir Crowe no longer cared about the noble appearance. The moment Lind, who was covered in blood, looked towards him, he backed away in panic, and then said nothing, panicking. He untied the reins from the horse bolt, mounted the horse, rushed out of the crowd, and disappeared at the end of the road outside the village.

  Although the people around him were disdainful that Sir Crow ignored the corpses of his men and ran away, they did not say anything more. After all, no matter how bad he was, he was still a member of the Klein family, and he was also a member with a title. No matter how much the Klein family declines, they are still the masters of Red Lake City. They are not something civilians like them can mess with. A few words of ridicule is their limit.

  "It's gone, it's all gone!" Father Bain was not happy because of Linde's performance. His face was still extremely serious. After shouting a few words loudly to everyone, he turned around and ordered his men in the tavern. , said: "Find the guy with the slanted eyes, clean up the bodies, and take off the weapons and leather armor from their bodies and keep them. The Klein family should send someone to take them away." After saying that, he motioned

  to Linde to take them away. He handed the weapons to the people in the tavern and then led Lind towards the backyard of the tavern.

  Although Lind has left and Father Bain also motioned for everyone to disperse, the people watching the excitement have not yet come out of their excitement. Some of the bold caravan mercenaries even got close to the corpses. Standing next to him, he checked the wound and imitated Linde's swordsmanship just now to see if he had the ability to perform it.

  However, more people are talking about whether the Klein family will blame Linde for this incident, and even send people to arrest and execute him.

  While everyone was talking about Linde's subsequent troubles, Father Bain was also talking to Linde about it in the open space in the backyard of the tavern.

  "How did you do it?" Father Bain asked impatiently after leading Linde to the backyard.

  Lind looked puzzled and said, "How did you do that?"

  Father Bain did the same action that Lind had just executed four soldiers. This action was like dancing when Lind performed it. But when Father Bain performs it, it looks like a shaking wine barrel, which is particularly funny.

  Although Lind wanted to laugh, he held it back and replied: "You asked me to use all my strength." "

  Yes, I asked you to use all my strength." Father Bain nodded and said with a wry smile: "But I never thought that you would be so powerful and ruthless when you attack with all your strength. Although the guards of the Klein family are not ranked high among the lord guards in the Reach, they are still regular troops in Red Lake City after all. I didn't expect that they would be captured all of a sudden. You solved six of them. It seems that I underestimated your ability before. If I had known that your actual combat power was so strong, I would not have gone to that guy Will, but just went to Lord Fortimo. It won't be like this."

  Linde asked: "Dad, what happened in Red Lake City? Why did a noble suddenly come to trouble me today?"

  Father Bain sighed, He said slightly apologetically: "Oh, you were implicated by me. I didn't expect that the internal fighting in the Klein family would happen again. It happened to be right after I went to find Will."

  As he said that, he He told Linde what he learned.

  It turns out that the Klein family split into two factions in the past because of the issue of sides.

  On the one hand, they believe that since the Tyrell family is the Duke of Highgarden, the supreme commander of the Reach, and the guardian of the South, the Crane family will naturally side with the Tyrell family.

  But the other faction believes that the relationship between the Tyrell family and the Klein family is far away, and there is no record of marriage between their ancestors. Standing on the side of the Tyrell family will not bring them any benefits.

  On the contrary, the Florent family and the Klein family in Brightwater City have a very good relationship, and they have also had many marriages. They are blood compatible with each other. The two families also interact a lot economically and politically. Moreover, the strength of the Florent family Not much worse than the Tyrell family, standing together with the Florent family is more conducive to the development of the Klein family.

  However, before the schism within the family became serious, it came to an abrupt end because of the sudden reconciliation between the Florentine family and the Tyrell family.

  However, the split of the Klein family has not been eliminated. On the contrary, it has become more and more intense, and it was not until recently that it fully exploded.

  The result of this outbreak was both expected and surprising. The members of the Crane family who were on the side of the Tyrell family were completely defeated. The family power has been completely lost to the members who were on the side of the Florent family. Got it, and the Sir Crow just now is from this group.
