Chapter 032: He is my mortal enemy

Ye Xia put the broken bowl toward the window sill, stretched a lazy waist with force, and then lay down on the straw on the ground in a big shape, snorted and answered, "No, it's just that before I came back, I saw three two-winged demons with horns on their heads distributing steamed buns, and I lined up at the end of the line, and received one, which is not enough for even stuffing one's teeth."

Victor also laid down, sighed, and said, "Before I came here, I would never have thought that this place was so poor, so poor that even the people who work in the town hall can only eat two meals a day, and they have to ask the demons to come out from time to time to give out some food to the people to salvage their hearts. I'm okay today, I had to eat half a bowl of flour when a guy at a roadside stand was halfway through his meal and left on an emergency."

Vasily stood by the window, looking out to see if there was anything going on, and said, "I picked up half a sweet potato today, so that's a bit of a cushion. Some people are starting to leave the city one by one over there, so if you guys lie down for a minute or two more, you'll get up and we'll get ready to leave the west gate as well. If we don't go back today, the seven days of medicine will be over." ...

If nothing happens, there is no check when leaving the city. Ye Xia three "beggars", smoothly mixed in the merchants, farmers, vegetable vendors, displaced persons and beggars crowd, out of the city. In the town of Gori not enough to eat, some people intend to go to a bigger city.

Ye Xia and the others pretended to head west, then after nightfall, they drilled into the woods and turned back to the north. Night was the best cover, and the three of them set off on their way back based on their memories, following the route they used to escape from this neighborhood to return to the Holy Land.

The next day dawned and Ye Xia's trio was close to the borderline. The mood also began to relax, no longer having to be on edge.

Ye Xia asked tentatively, "Brother Vasily, if we go back and the officer asks if there's any news of the enemy's important figures and we don't find out, will they blame us then?"

Vasily replied, "I don't think so. I'll explain what you've done, and make a mental note of the distribution of the streets, the numbers of the garrison inside and outside the city, the location of the town hall, and the number of defenders at the gates, and go back and draw them out, so you should be able to deliver the goods."

Victor held a blade of grass in his mouth and cursed in a low voice: "I don't know which bastard, had to bring some order to say that the enemy is likely to have an important person to inspect the border, want us to go to spy, causing us to really be a beggar for seven days, starving me to death, go back and I'll definitely bite off that person's heart meat and have a good meal!"

Vasily sighed softly and said, "When I was first called by the Ten Husbandman to the Thousand Husbandman of Gorman to receive the order, I heard the Centurion seem to address a Knight by the name of Joseph, and it was this Knight who brought the order. I tried to ask for more information, but he scolded me."

Ye Xia listened as he walked, then he suddenly frowned, alarmed, "A knight named Joseph?"

Ye Xia immediately approached Vasily and asked eagerly, "Vasily, did you just say that the knight's name is Joseph? Do you know his full name?"

Vasily replied, "I don't know. What's wrong?"

Yeesha hesitated, "And does Joseph know this route in and out of our area?"

Vasily replied, "I should know. A few of them were looking at this route we drew back when I was there."

Ye Xia immediately pulled Vasily and Viktor and said with a rapid heartbeat, "Two big brothers, we have to change our route!"

The two were shocked and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

Ye Xia hesitated, sighed a little, and said, "I'd better tell you guys! You guys have to help me keep it a secret. I was sneak attacked from behind in my hometown last year, knocked out my head, and was in a coma for ten days, and when I woke up, I inquired and found out that it was my love rival, Knight Joseph, who did it. Now he's sent me out to spy, either to get me killed or to try to kill me on the way back!"

Victor was dumbfounded.

Vasily pondered for a few seconds and asked Ye Xia in a low voice, "Is that Joseph about 5'8" with a hawkish nose?"

Ye Xia replied affirmatively, "That's right! He is my mortal enemy!"

Vasily looked around for a moment, then said decisively, "Go, west, around!"

The three had just turned around and ran a few steps when Ye Xia suddenly heard a movement behind him, he turned back as he ran and saw a man with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, running at speed, jumping up in the air and slashing at him.

Ye Xia turned around sharply and grabbed the opponent's sword-wielding wrist with both hands, but the opponent was so powerful that Ye Xia was pressed by the opponent's strength that his feet slid backward.

Yeesha crashed into the backs of Vasily and Viktor, who stumbled a few steps.

Vasily and Victor immediately turned around and saw that Ye Xia was being attacked, and hurriedly ran over to support them.

The man's left-handed shield was raised to slam Yeesha, when Victor grabbed the edge of the shield.

Ye Xia fixed her eyes on the face of the visitor and said through clenched teeth in anger, "Joseph, what are you doing?"

Vasily came over and raised his fist to Joseph's head as well, and Joseph took a punch.

An ordinary soldier's fist, or a fist thrown by a man who had been starving for seven days, couldn't do much damage to the knight. Joseph raised his leg and kicked at Victor's crotch, Victor let go in pain before being kicked in the chest again by Joseph, Victor was sent flying backwards and fell to the ground.

Joseph raised his shield and smashed at Ye Xia. Ye Xia freed a hand to resist the shield, blocking is blocked, but "when" sound, Ye Xia immediately felt arm pain.

Vasiliy thuds his shin into the crotch of Joseph's pants.

Joseph took the pain and the knight's sword came off, but he immediately kicked with his right foot and Vasily was sent flying.

Joseph raised his shield and then smashed Ye Xia, Ye Xia had to release his left hand, both forearms to block the shield, and again "when" sound, Ye Xia two hands ate pain, back a few steps.

Vasily climbs to his feet and leaps over to try to pick up the knight's sword. Joseph stepped on the sword and smashed Vasily's head with a shield.

Victor ran over and body slammed into Joseph, and he and Joseph both fell to the ground.

Ye Xia hurried over, picked up the knight's sword, and slashed at Joseph.

Joseph raised his shield and blocked, then pushed, and Ye Xia was pushed backward and stumbled a few steps.

Victor rolls back in the direction of Yeesha and picks up the dazed Vasily.

Ye Xia said to the two, "Hurry up! I'm a prospective knight, I'll take the rear!"

Vasily and Victor suddenly heard Ye Xia say that he was a quasi-knight, although they felt strange, but just now they could see that Ye Xia was indeed more resistant to fighting than the two of them, so they didn't ask so many questions, and helped each other to run towards the border of the Holy Kingdom.

"Hmph!" Joseph had long since stood up, "No wonder you can withstand a fight, different from last year, so you're already a quasi-knight, but it's useless, you'll still die. You know about my attack on you last year, all three of you have to die!"

After Joseph finished speaking, he gripped his shield and charged towards Ye Xia.

Ye Xia kicked up a set of leaves on his toes and hit Joseph in the face, then raised his sword and stabbed Joseph in the abdomen.

Joseph's shield swept across, sweeping away the oncoming leaves and pawing away Ye Xia's sword as well, then kicked at Ye Xia's stomach. Ye Xia blocked Joseph's kick with his left hand, and his person flew backwards.

Ye Xia landed on the ground, then turned around and ran in the direction that Vasily and Victor ran. He, a quasi-knight, a quasi-knight who had been starved for seven days, could not possibly be a match for Joseph, a knight who had waited for seven days, and even if he added Vasily and Victor who had also been starved for seven days, he would not be able to beat them.
