Chapter 22 Part II

Part 2:

"Have you practiced magic since you were a kid?" Joyce said.

"I'm a magic swordsman." Hugh put his arms around Joyce and let him stick to his warm chest. His voice was thick and steady, as if echoing in Joyce's mind.

"I am born with the ability to sense magic." Hugh explained: "They see me as a devil. My father and mother died of a horse thief not long after I was born. Later, the old mercenary king adopted me. , Let me grow up together with his son."

Joyce said, "You are the army captain of the Tucker Kingdom. Do you need me to accompany you back?"

Hugh was silent, and at this moment, Joyce felt his will shake violently.

"The commander Corson of the Corps is dead." Hugh said, "The current me is just Hugh, a knight of Joyce."

Joyce could vaguely feel his guilt, pain and was unable to extricate emotions. He knew that Hugh had an extremely heavy responsibility-he led the army to assist the Holy See against the undead army, but ruined the entire army on the battlefield.

Perhaps from now on, he can no longer return to the country of mercenaries. This war has dealt a heavy blow to him, and he can only live as his guardian knight.

"Your heart is full of hatred," Joyce said, stroking her hair.

This time, Hugh did not answer, but remained silent.

Joyce said: "Don't be enslaved to your soul by hatred, you are powerful, you are my knight..."

Hugh whispered: "I can't help it..." He raised his eyes, looked at Joyce, and said: "These days, the tragic scene of the destruction of the Legion still appears in front of me all the time. I always think that one day, I must, and I will avenge for my comrades..."

"At the time of your revenge." Joyce said, "Can you let me go with you?"

When he heard this, Hugh gave a slight shock.

Joyce felt that the dark seed in Hugh's body seemed to have increased in strength, and his brows were furrowed, he wanted to say something more, but knew that at this time, no matter what he said, he was afraid that Hugh would not be able to listen.

Maybe Alex can help him break away from the hatred. Now Joyce can only use the Holy Light to seal the power of darkness as much as possible. He has always been very empathetic, knowing that at this time, the only way is to change it. Appease him.

He can no longer put any pressure on Hugh. Along the way, he was silent more than talked, but the cultivator gradually wanted to open up and face the things he was bound to face.

"Hugh." Joyce held his head, touched his hair, and said, "I have something to say to you, listen..."

He reached to Hugh's ear, kissed his ear, and then stroked Hugh's short black hair, and kissed his forehead. Hugh raised his eyes to look at him, with hope and expectation, their eyes seemed very gentle at that moment.

"Teacher told me." Joyce said seriously: "The most important thing between the knight and the priest is the unyielding trust in each other, the trust in each other's strength, and the frankness."

Hugh nodded, and Joyce said again: "No matter what you want to do in the future or what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side. You fight for me, and I will always protect you... , No matter where, if one day, you have to face the danger and fight for your faith, I will wait for you to return like I am waiting for the teacher, or I will follow you like I am looking for the teacher. If you are destined to be on the road of revenge, my holy light will always be with you and never leave. "

Hugh's eyes were like stars shining in the dark night. They were naked with their upper body and a quilt on their lower body. Joyce lifted Hugh's chin with his fingers and lightly touched his lips. This intimate movement made Hugh's breathing become swift again and his wood standed up.

Suddenly a bell rang in the village and town, and Hugh immediately raised his head.

"It's not the Legion of Undead." Joyce can feel the vibe of dark mist. There was no dark vibe this time. There was a roar from outside the village, followed by a scream.

The danger is close at hand, Hugh can no longer continue the session, He had to got up, stood in front of the window and took a look, the red light of the flame reflected the sky, and it was obvious that someone had set off a fire in the north of the village. Joyce got up and put on his clothes, and Hugh said, "You stay here, I'll go out and have a look."

Joyce looked at Hugh, did not speak, and thought for a while, and said, "Let's go, let's go together."

Joyce followed Hugh down the stairs, a little worried that if Hugh's injuries were all right for this fight. He don't know if he could deal with these people. However, as soon as he thought about it, Hugh felt Joyce's faint worry, and replied, "It's not the Legion of Undead, relax. It will not be a threat to me, don't worry about me."

Sosha's nomads entered the village and expelled men, women, elders, and children to the empty space in the village. On rainy nights, torches crackled and cavalry opened doors from house to house, dragging the residents out.

A young man wearing a fur jacket and bare-chested straddled his horse and said aloud, his voice full of majesty and anger.

"The residents of Krian pay attention!" The translator shouted: "Stand up! Prince Xilin has something to say!"

There was silence in the open space. Krian Village was also the last barrier between the mainland and the grassland ethnic diplomacy and trade. Many traveling merchants gathered here, and they were extremely angry when they heard the words.

"You can't treat us like this!" a man dressed as a businessman shouted angrily: "This is a violation of the prairie contract!"

The village chief stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness Xilin, according to the contract between Krian Demesne and the Sosha Kingdom..."

The young man knew what he was saying without asking the translator. He shouted impatiently, and translated: "The contract has been voided, Lord Krian has died, and civil strife broke out in the city-state. Now the guards of Sosha are taking over this place."

There was a sudden commotion in the open space. When the villagers and travelers were about to protest, the young man named Xilin yelled a few more words, and the translator immediately said: "From now on, let all your houses be emptied. Your Highness will not be hard to you merchants, take your goods, and set out now to go back to the South Continent."

"The rest are gathered in the largest room, and leave now, hurry up!"

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the inn on the northeast side of the village. A swordsman appeared like a cheetah in the dark, and flew the cavalry who was blocking the road with a sword!

The crowd suddenly clashed, Xilin's face changed, and the swordsman swung his sword wide and flicked towards the Xilin. The whirring of wind blades flew right and left. Xilin instantly felt the instinctive danger and turned away from his horse. He leaped back and turned over in the air. However, Hugh moved faster than him. He had flashed before the Xilin Horse a few times, and he was counting the swords again. The wind blade shot and flew, Xilin's face was wiped by the wind blade. Blood burst out, and immediately afterwards, Hugh leaped up.

Xilin was in the air, and at the most critical moment, he drew a scimitar at his waist and swung it out. The two met in mid-air, and Hugh's arm exploded with light of stigmata.

The next moment, the scimitar collided with the broad sword, making a harsh sound, and Xilin was smashed back to the ground with a sword.

Joyce stood on the side of the street, retracted his hand, and fell into the cloak.

Hugh steadily landed, and shook the sword towards the ground, no one dared to come up.

"Get out." Hugh said coldly, "No matter who you are."

Prince Xilin was so embarrassed that he was struggling to get up in the mud. The cavalry surrounded Hugh and trapped him in an encirclement. The translator was so scared that he could not speak, his face was pale, and he said, "You...you are..."

Hugh's upper body was only wearing a black blouse with open arms. The stigmata on his arm lit up with a light, and he injected the hilt along his arm, and then flowed down the earth along the sword body, forming a holy energy array in a short time. There was a hum, shining light on the soles of his feet.

"He is from the Holy See!" someone exclaimed.

However, soon the light of the divine energy extinguished, the only magical light in the circle flowed, the flame rose, the water condensed into ice crystals, the wind and gravel swept across the four positions of the circle, Hugh stretched out his left hand, and his hand ignited a ball of fire.

Some people may be surprised by the holy energy, but the power of magic has shocked everyone. The translator said something out loud in fear, and he didn't need to tell him, the Sosha cavalry began to step back, for fear of touching the swordsman who could not only use broadswords but also manipulate different magic.

Hugh then said: "Now, let the woman and the child go, get out, and I will only count three."

"three."

All the cavalry retreated, the interpreter staggered to help Prince Xilin, Prince Xilin wanted to say something, but was protected by the cavalry, and withdrew from the village.

Before he left, he turned his head inadvertently and saw Joyce walking towards Hugh.

There was silence in the village. The villagers looked at Hugh and Joyce, but Hugh had long been accustomed to these monster-looking eyes, and explained to Joyce: "Don't worry about my fighting strength, I trained your brother Odin's attacking swordsmanship when we in the army, and his defensive shield attack was trained by Alex. Otherwise, based on Shaq's court knight course, it would be difficult for him to be qualified for the mission of the Ranger."

Joyce nodded, his eyebrows were very worried, and the villagers talked a lot. Joyce said, "Go back to sleep, it's okay."

He was silent for a while, Hugh stretched out his hand, and Joyce took him and suddenly said, "Did you find that when the prince ran away?"

"What?" Hugh asked.

"He's in fear." Joyce whispered: "From the first sight of him, fear has accompanied him like a shadow."

Hugh recalled that when Xilin first entered the village, he spoke and looked like he was very nervous. He nodded and said, "Yes."

"I tried to influence him with holy energy." Joyce whispered: "For the time being, he dispelled a little of his fear, and he also discovered me, why did he suddenly rush into Krian Village with the cavalry, and try to occupy here?"

Hugh also frowned slightly, thinking about the various reasons why the Sosha cavalry rushed into the village in the middle of the night and decided to inquire about the news. However, it was too late tonight, and they could only go to sleep for now.
