Chapter 14, Horst's Action
1318 Words
Exquisite candlestick chandeliers hang from the ceiling of the restaurant, illuminating the whole restaurant.
Kane and the others were sitting at the dining table, eating wine and delicacies and chatting.
Only Catherine, Marcus, Horst and several of his trainees were invited.
Compared with the bustle in the reception hall on the other side, only a few people were talking softly here, and the atmosphere seemed a little cold and cheerless.
It seemed that in order to break the quiet atmosphere, Horst said, "On the way to Regitel, I heard that His Majesty Andena seemed to want to go to war with the orcs."
Andena Ves, the current king of the Dylan Kingdom, had targeted Ancestor Kyllos from the start of his reign.
Many times they imitated the other party to carry out reforms, but most of them ended in failure. In recent years, they turned their attention to the Orc Empire and vowed to completely win the other party's territory. This move made the domestic aristocrats miserable and cost several times more money on military salaries every year.
Kane sighed, "There's going to be another war. The last war with the Orc Empire has only been less than two years."
Marcus echoed, "His Highness Andena's move will probably be opposed by the parliament."
Katherine continued to eat. She never cared about current politics or war.
It was better to say that she was looking forward to the arrival of a new war, so that she could hone her swordsmanship on the battlefield.
Horst chuckled. "Marcus, you really guessed it right. The group of old fellows in the council did make a noise. Unfortunately, they were persuaded by the Sixth Order powerhouse invited by His Majesty."
"What!? Sixth Order!" Katherine asked in surprise.
Horst nodded. "That's right. Not only is he a Tier 6 Legendary powerhouse, he was also invited from the Dark Elf Kingdom."
Kane frowned and noticed that something was wrong. He asked, "Then Uncle Horst, will the other party participate in the war against the orcs?"
Horst was not clear about this either. He said, "Who knows? I don't know what His Majesty Anderna has in mind."
Kane did not say a word. He picked up the glass with his left hand and took a sip.
Then, he looked at the red wine in the glass and pondered.
Perhaps Horst, Marcus and others are not clear, but Kane has already seen the situation clearly.
In the hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, human beings have also made friends with some intelligent races, such as dwarves and elves
However, he had never let a foreign country interfere in his internal affairs. Now, he had let this Anderna do it.
You know, when the Dylan Kingdom was founded, it was not attached to any race.
I'm afraid even the previous King Deli did not expect that his descendants would hook up with the Dark Elves.
At the same time, as the leader of the kingdom, Anderna was often at odds with the nobles. Combining the above two points, this was not good news for the kingdom.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Kane decided to solve the current enemy first. Horst finished thinking about the kingdom's affairs.
He put down his glass and started talking to Horst again.
The dinner ended with everyone saying you and me.
Raising his hand to let the servant enter the restaurant to clean up, Kane held his forehead a little dizzy.
Tonight was really kind. First, I drank two glasses of red wine with the soldiers in the reception hall.
Later, he clinked glasses with Horst, Marcus, Katherine and others several times.
Now the body's capacity for liquor is far from as good as that of the previous life. Kane has drunk more than several times of sugar water to sober up.
As for the rest of them, apart from Katherine, who was already fast asleep, they were also sober.
Marcus was trying to wake up Katherine who was asleep on one side. On the other side, Horst was getting together with several of his retinues with a flushed face and chatting.
Suddenly, Horst called out to Kane.
"Kane Gerrard."
Although he was still dizzy, Kane noticed that the other party's tone was abnormal.
"What's wrong? Uncle Horst."
"I will arrest you for treason. I hope you will be captured."
As soon as his voice fell, a white aperture appeared on Horst's body. It covered the retinue beside him one by one.
The Aura of Spiritual Origin belonged solely to the ability of a Second Order Knight. Its effect was to increase the strength and speed of the aura attached to the target, and to form a set of temporary armor.
"Why!?"
Without waiting for Kane to react, the retinue with silver aura rushed to him and Marcus and Catherine beside him.
Kane, who had been on guard, pulled her behind him at the moment when the other party was about to cut at Katherine.
Katherine, who fell to the ground, woke up in a daze, but a white long sword was coming.
"Clang."
Kane hurriedly blocked the other side s offensive.
He ordered Katherine, who was still in a daze. "Pick up your weapon. The other party has acted."
Marcus, who was on the side, also reacted and raised his hand to shoot a sword qi at the retinue.
Unfortunately, this was broken up by Horst.
"Marcus, give up. You'll have a better future if you follow me."
As a knight loyal to Regitt, Marcus said righteously, "I'm sorry, Lord Horst. I refuse your invitation."
Horst was not discouraged: "Very good, I like your loyal attitude."
With that, Horst raised his longsword and stabbed at the other party.
On the other side, Kane and Catherine faced the five retinues with difficulty.
Because of the blessing of the aura, the other party's strength was basically equivalent to that of a First Order Transcendent.
Finally, by accident, Kane was slashed in the right arm.
Golden red blood stained his sleeves.
The five people on the opposite side also began to attack him with emphasis. Although Katherine tried her best to maintain it, the injuries on Kane's body continued to increase.
One of the retainers seized the opportunity to raise his sword and stab into Kane's throat.
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was Kane's reddened eyes.
The violent aura continued to emerge from him. His sharp grip had pierced into the retinue's body.
In the other party's astonished eyes, he pulled it out and immediately blood splattered everywhere.
"Weird... weird... things..."
The retinue covered his abdomen and twitched continuously, slowly falling down.
White hair grew wildly on Kane s body, and his two canine teeth were once again exposed.
Moonlight fell on Kane through the French windows of the restaurant.
An unprecedented feeling of comfort appeared in his heart.
Kane threw away the longsword that was used as decoration.
"Clang.."
Condensing Ling Yuan on the claws of both hands, he raised his scarlet eyes and looked towards the four retinues who were constantly retreating.
"Ants."
Disdainful words spat out from his mouth. It seemed that the moment he completed his werewolf transformation, Kane's personality also changed.
Kane moved. He walked towards the four retinues, leaving only afterimages.
Before the first retainer could react, he grabbed his head with his hand and broke it.
Immediately after, a flash of platinum-colored gas was about to s***h the second person who ran away.
Before the third retainer could see Kane's movements clearly, his claws tore apart his body.
The remaining fourth survivor gave up resisting. He threw away his long sword and said helplessly, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I can help you.."
Before he could finish his words, he was cut into three pieces by Kane.
"Boring trick."
Kane picked up the poisonous dagger hidden behind him and fiddled with it.
