92. Missteps and chaos
Mudus, the death is indeed a bit unsightly.
With his strength, if he can really play it, Sean will definitely not be able to solve it so easily. Whether or not he can even win is another matter, after all, he not only has the Book of Demons, but also the magic ring that can cast the "Dark Spear".
However, Sean is not without a chance of winning, his biggest hole card is the "Atmospheric Protection" obtained from the crypt passage, if it weren't for this ring, even if he could kill Muders just now, he would definitely not be able to escape the most dark spear. But if it weren't for this ring, Sean might not really dare to play with Muds like this, after all, in this world, if he died, there would really be nothing.
Feeling a wisp of gray mist emerging from Muldes' corpse merge into his body, Sean knew that his conjecture was correct. As long as the contract commission is determined, then he can get experience points from it, but the amount of experience points is currently impossible to find a pattern, and the only thing that can be known is that it is absolutely impossible to obtain experience points by killing a low-level existence than himself.
However, the experience points provided by Muders are indeed not good, and it is enough to upgrade Sean by one level.
But when Sean looked at Muldes' old corpse, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. The other party can maintain such a young and energetic body, all thanks to the vitality provided by the Demon Book, but he knows that these are the exchange of countless human lives, which means that Muders has to kill thousands of people to be able to maintain the youth of this body, so even Sean's feelings about the Demon Book have dropped several levels.
However, wasting equipment is not the right way a player should think. So Sean naturally pulled out the Book of Demons and the obsidian ring on Mudes's other hand, fortunately, this ring did not become a waste due to the loss of mana, at least it was a magic item that could be used.
It's just that the current situation is obviously not suitable for Sean to study these equipment, he just hid it slightly, and then turned around and rushed towards the fortress restaurant.
There. is another important battleground.
Mario's most important left arm and right arm. One has already been chopped off by Sean, and if Martin can be dealt with as well, then Mario has no real talent in his hands. As for the dozen or so knights, they are not particularly important, although their strength is not bad, at least they are all third-order professions, but their command ability is not as good as Martin after all. And Tyndersburg is not without people who can deal with them.
Beside the old Marquis Perrault, there are four knights who have not been bought by Count Mario, these five people are the former commanders and leaders of these dozen knights, maybe they are a little older now, but their combat ability is not necessarily inferior to them. Besides, there were a few of the guards that Harley had left behind. With those four knights, even if they can't kill Count Mario's knights, it won't be a problem to hold them down.
And what Durune needs is time.
……
At this moment, in the castle's dining room, another battle was also being staged simultaneously.
Almost the moment Drune lifted the lid and took the dagger, Martin was already one step ahead.
He didn't have a weapon, though. But the heavy armor on his body was not removed. So he punched Durune in the face with a knight's gauntlet, which directly distorted Durune's face. And that powerful force even directly knocked Du Ruan out of the air, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times before stopping. And the dagger he got in his hand before didn't know where Lu Dao flew.
However, after punching Durune, Martin did not relax in the slightest, and his eyes were firmly locked on the body of another person in the restaurant.
It was a man wearing a silver mask, he didn't look very tall, and he was dressed in a simple and plain suit, just a black tuxedo. But looking at his bulging arms and the black armor on his hands, it was obvious that he was also wearing armored gauntlets. It's just that the other party didn't make any moves, so even Martin couldn't see the other party's origin and identity.
It's just that judging from the fact that the other party didn't make a move even if Du Ruen was shot away, it must not really belong to Du Ruan.
At this moment, Muders's terrible howl resounded throughout Tyndersburg.
Even if Mario, who was exposed by Du Ruan for killing his father, but his face did not change in any way, his expression finally changed greatly at this time. He couldn't help but stand up, and turned his head to look out the window of the restaurant, where the screams were heard, and he had the impression that it should be the stable at the back of the castle, could it be that there was someone else in ambush in Durune? But Mario is also very clear about Mudus's strength, and if he can make Muddes let out such a painful scream, what should be the strength of the other party?
Mario's mood changed very subtly.
"Alas, Sean is right, he really is a pig-like teammate." At this moment, the masked man, who had been watching everything indifferently, suddenly spoke, "Sean has already said, let you not be impulsive, and you know that Martin is also here, and you actually go to get a dagger, I really don't know what you think." ”
"Sean?" Mario turned his head in astonishment and stared at the masked man in front of him, "Are you......?" Alfred? ”
"Yes." Alfred nodded, reaching out and taking the mask off, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Count Mario. ”
Alfred threw the mask away, making a "clanging" sound of metal falling to the ground. He glanced at Durune, the pig-like teammate seemed to be a little delirious at the moment, and he didn't need to be expected to help for the time being. However, Alfred didn't expect him to do anything at the beginning, because of Fregen's business, so Alfred actually hated all the nobles, which is the real reason why he obviously had the ability to stop Martin just now, but he didn't make a move, but watched Martin punch Duruen away.
"So, you planned all this?" Mario's face was covered with frost, and he was visibly angry.
Mario was very remorseful at the moment, he found that he had lost his mind because of a letter of invitation from Drune! If he had calmed down at that time, Mario believed that he would have been able to see through this shoddy plot, because his nephew was not a man who would show weakness, and if it weren't for his arrogance, he would not have been so easily fooled into finding the so-called elixir, and it was even more impossible for him to know how to plan more in detail and arrange accommodation for the soldiers. What makes other people eat in the side room. It's all about making tactical cuts and minimizing the strength you have.
"It's the work of Sean and Cecilia, and I have nothing to do with it." Alfred seemed to be at ease, completely unfazed by the tension of facing a great enemy. He just shrugged his shoulders and went around from the right side of the table to the left, not even five meters from each other with Martin.
"Lord Earl, he's clearly stalling for time!" Martin looked at Alfred. He could see the eagerness to fight in the other party's eyes, but he was well restrained and did not make a rash move, there was only one explanation for this phenomenon, "Your Excellency Muders has probably been killed, and the other party's reinforcements are rushing here." The others must be being held back by now, Lord Earl, please get out of here and get in touch with the Black Knights first! ”
Hearing Martin's words, Mario suddenly came to his senses.
His Black Guards had only two true commanders, one was himself and the other was Martin. But at this time, both of them were here, and the other squad leaders who were the command connection point. It's in the side hall. It is tantamount to saying that his current personal guard has completely lost the chain of command. In this case, even though the equipment of his personal guards is of the highest grade. However, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted is also very limited.
An army with a commander and an army without a commander are two different concepts entirely.
Moreover, Count Mario himself is not a nobleman who is good at fighting. His own strength is only equivalent to the level of a second-order profession, and it is very likely that it will not even reach the second-order, and his real talent and talent lie in the command of military ability, especially that he is extremely good at fighting defensive battles. This is also the main reason why Martin wants Count Mario to get in touch with the Black Guards.
As long as he can take command, with the command ability of Count Mario and the elite of the Black Guards, it will not be a problem to completely capture Tyndersburg in turn.
"Count Mario's right-hand man." Alfred restrained his smile, his relaxed performance at the beginning was indeed to delay time, but he didn't expect Martin to be such an observant person, "Now that you have found out, then there is nothing to say." I advise you, Lord Earl, not to run around, or don't blame me. ”
"With me here, you don't want to hurt the Earl!" Martin took a sideways step, blocking Alfred's view, and his face became serious.
He could feel the momentum that Alfred was gradually climbing. As a heavily armored knight, he has extremely good and strong physical strength, and purely in terms of combat effectiveness, he is naturally superior to Alfred, but the problem is that now Martin has no weapons at all, and his strength is naturally discounted, but if it is just to delay the time and give Mario time to escape, Martin thinks he can still do it.
And Mario is not an indecisive person, and when he saw that Martin was going to fight to the death, he had already turned around and ran outside. Like Martin, he also knew very well that as long as he could join his personal guard, these people in the castle would naturally not be enough, and he had even made a decision that he must bloody the entire Tyndersburg today!
Seeing that Mario was about to flee, Alfred immediately roared angrily and immediately rushed forward.
But Martin next to him, how could he let Alfred kill Mario.
Immediately, a rampage intercepted in front of Alfred, and a punch slammed into Alfred's chest.
Alfred didn't even look at Martin, and as he ran, he also punched Martin in the head. If Martin didn't want to be smashed on the head by this punch, then he naturally had to dodge, and Alfred, who had maintained his inertia of movement, could naturally get rid of Martin's interception.
It's just that Alfred didn't expect that Martin actually looked like he was at home, and he didn't mean to dodge his punch at all.
In an instant, each of their fists hit each other's different parts.
Alfred was hit by Martin's punch, and naturally it was impossible to maintain the momentum of running, and the whole person couldn't help but stop. And because Alfred didn't wear armor, Martin's punch did cause a lot of damage to Alfred, after all, when he came out of the crypt passage before, he was already full of injuries, and in just ten days, it was impossible to heal these injuries, so Martin's punch went down, and many wounds on Alfred's body burst out, and the blood almost stained the entire tuxedo.
Martin, on the other hand, was also very uncomfortable.
Alfred's hand was modeled after the Bavarian gauntlet, and the most vulnerable head was struck by the hit. So Martin naturally received the retribution he had just done to Durune, and the whole person flew out directly, and even moved a few meters horizontally before stopping after falling to the ground, and when he got up, blood had already begun to flow from his left forehead.
It seems that Martin's situation is much more serious than Alfred's.
It's just that no one expected that at this moment, the door of the restaurant was suddenly slammed open, which shocked Mario, Martin, and Alfred. And after seeing the person clearly, Alfred's face became even more gloomy.
The comers were two knights covered in blood, although they looked extremely embarrassed and seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, but they had weapons in their hands, and judging from the blood dripping from the weapons, it was obvious that they had killed people.
As soon as the two men entered, they immediately protected Mario and Martin, and handed Martin a halberd.
"Lord Martin, you quickly protect Lord Count and go first, we will take care of it here!" A knight said in a deep voice, "We have been ambushed, there are other people on the side hall to block it, the other party can't attack for the time being, you guys go quickly!" …… Remember to avenge us! ”
Martin gritted his teeth, but did not say anything more, but stared coldly at Alfred's face, as if to imprint him completely in his mind. Then he grabbed the halberd in one hand, turned around and escorted Count Mario out of the dining room.
"Now, your opponent is us!"
Alfred clenched his fists, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and as an angry lion, he was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with these people. With a single lunge, he rushed towards the two knights, and he had to deal with them as fast as he could, and then catch up with Mario, who in any case had to prevent them from joining up with the so-called Black Knights, for Cecilia was now on the side of the barracks, assisting Old Peter in dealing with the guards brought by Count Mario.
