At this moment, three peak knights, Taylor, Rowan, and Vaughan, have gathered!
Even with Aaron's determination, he couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching, and a trace of despair appeared in his heart involuntarily.
However, Aaron immediately suppressed this emotion, raised the cross sword without hesitation, and took advantage of the brief opportunity when Taylor and Rowan were attracted by Vaughn's appearance, and attacked first——

"It's not over yet, even if things are impossible, I will fight!"

Aaron yelled frantically in his heart, and the movement of his hand was non-stop. The crossed long sword stabbed Taylor fiercely at a rotating angle, with the spiral rain flowers around it - because Taylor was the most exhausted of the three. , and there is still a little distance for Fuen to come here, so I must seize this last chance!

However, Taylor seemed to have anticipated Aaron's attack, and he raised his hand with an orchid-shaped sword skill, blocking Aaron's stabbing long sword.At the same time, Rowan also slashed with a sword tacitly, forcing Aaron to roll sideways again in embarrassment to avoid the sword slash.

At the same time, Taylor pressed on, and slashed at Aaron with another sword——

boom!
Aaron raised his long sword in a hurry to resist the attack, and saw a burst of energy rushing along the long sword. Suddenly, Aaron's face changed, and his whole body was hit by this impact, and he was forced to step on his legs. Sliding on the muddy land, two deep ravines were drawn directly along the way!
Pieces of grass clippings and muddy water splashed everywhere, like a land run over by hard-working cattle!
However, before Aaron could heave a sigh of relief, Vaughan had already rushed to the battlefield by relying on his physical fitness as a peak knight, and immediately drew out his long sword and slashed at Aaron!

Bang~!

Aaron reluctantly raised the sword that blocked Fu En, and Fu En, who was in his prime, was in control, raised the cross sword high in his hand, and slashed at Aaron continuously——

Bang bang bang!

A series of explosions exploded, and Aaron resisted Vonn's violent killing with all his strength, while resisting the impact by constantly retreating.

At the same time, Vaughn saw that Aaron seemed to be exhausted, so he laughed loudly and said, "Run~! Keep running~!"

"Cunning little mouse, aren't you good at running? Keep running!!!"

With the words that vented his anger, Fu En stepped on his feet again, and chopped down with all his strength, vowing to split Aaron into two pieces!
boom!
Aaron barely raised his long sword to block the blow, but a crack appeared on the sword body, and at the same time the crack gradually spread like a spider web, as if it could not withstand the impact!
"Could it be that this long sword needs to be"

The next moment, Aaron's pupils shrank slightly——

Bang bang!

After a long and fierce battle, the long sword in Aaron's hand finally couldn't hold it anymore, and it exploded completely at this critical moment!
Scattered pieces of iron flew out, passing through the torrential rain and bringing up water splashes. The silver-white iron mirror reflected the complicated expression on Aaron's face——

"Why the hell is this time?!"

Aaron didn't care about other things, he just rolled in embarrassment to avoid Vaughan's attack, got up and dodged sideways, and avoided Taylor's chasing vertical attack, and retreated a certain distance backwards.

Ordinary iron long swords cannot withstand the energy instilled by knights for a long time. Although the breath of life infused by Aaron is not as strong as that of real peak knights, it is not something that iron swords can withstand for a long time!

Especially Aaron, Taylor, Rowan, and Vaughn fought fiercely, which had already exceeded the limit of ordinary iron swords—finally, the cross sword exploded completely just now, turning into a pool of fragments and splashing shoot out.

This is tantamount to Aaron losing the last weapon in his hand, a tool that can resist the enemy, which means that he can no longer perform the 'sword skill' he is proud of——

Similarly, this also pushed Aaron to the abyss of death
Because Taylor and the others knew that Aaron was almost certain to die, they were not in a hurry to persecute him in person, so as not to be bitten by him.I saw that Taylor made a gesture behind him, and several soldiers hiding in the forest in the distance immediately raised a large crossbow together—this is a siege crossbow!

Just now, Aaron couldn't use it when he fought with the three of them, but now... of course it can!

"Prepare."

The soldiers hiding in the forest drew their bowstrings together and shouted in unison:

"Five four three."

The rain is still pouring down,

Drops of water fell on Aaron's body, and streams of water droplets flowed down Aaron's hair and skin, and then continuously merged into puddles on the ground, forming a small pool of water.

"Have I reached this point of desperation?"

Aaron raised his tired face covered in mud and rain, and looked at Taylor and the others in the distance as if they were looking at the dead. They clearly wanted to move their bodies, but they couldn't find a reason to keep moving.
"Not only have I lost my weapon, but my body has also reached the point of 'exhaustion'. What else can I do?"

"If it's just physical fatigue, you can still grit your teeth, but you have lost your last weapon. What else can you use to fight the enemy? Teeth?"

Aaron felt that the steaming heat in his body was constantly weakening, which was a sign that his body had reached the extreme of 'tiredness', until he could no longer feel a trace of warmth, replaced by——

The rain kept slapping on my body, and a subconscious thought came to my mind: "It's so cold"

Instead, it was the cold touch brought by the icy rain, which seemed to represent the 'death' that took away life, and was constantly extracting the heat energy from Aaron's body. There was not much heat energy left.

At this moment, Aaron raised his head and looked towards the direction of the forest, and murmured:
"I'm sorry, An Geli. I... I failed to keep the promise."

"I've tried my best. Already"

Intense fatigue kept pouring into his brain, and even Aaron couldn't help but want to close his eyes——

"I'm tired enough"

"Shoot~!"

Accompanied by the roar of the soldiers, there was a sound of the bowstring being pulled, and a heavy iron long arrow shot at Aaron who was standing in an open space with a terrifying sound of piercing through the air——

call out! ! !
Starwind Lake
A group of huge carriages parked by the lake, and everyone gathered in Viscount Steve's carriage. A heavy rain made the roof of the carriage crack, which made some people even more anxious. ——

An Geli was sitting on the steps of the carriage, looking in the direction of Aaron with a worried face, and looked anxiously at the chronograph pocket watch in her hand from time to time. Her constantly shaking legs showed the restlessness and impatience in her heart.

At this moment, Steve glanced at his pocket watch and said in a deep voice, "It's been an hour. If Aaron was going to come over, he should have been here long ago."

As if hearing the meaning of Steve's words, An Geli looked up at Steve in disbelief, only to see Viscount Steve standing up as expected the next moment and shouting:

"Mr. Aaron is probably 'sacrificed', we are leaving now."

"Can't!"

An Geli exhaled anxiously, and retorted without hesitation: "We haven't seen Aaron yet, how can we conclude that something must have happened to him? We can't just leave him like this."

"Then you plan to send the convoy back to rescue him?!" Viscount Steve interrupted unceremoniously: "Don't be kidding, everyone here knows that Aaron may not make it through!"

"If you continue to wait here, you will be joking with the lives of our entire team!"

Hearing Steve's words, Steward Jerry, Mrs. Lacey, Soldier Green and others all lowered their heads, as if acquiescing to Steve's words.

Seeing this scene, An Geli couldn't help shouting: "Why? What do you mean? Obviously Aaron helped us delay the pursuers, but now you are going to abandon him there."

"because of this!"

Viscount Steve interrupted An Geli's questioning again, and directly said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because he helped us hold back the pursuers that we cannot let him down for his hard work!"

"If we want us to go back and save him, we will definitely push everyone back into the abyss again, which is tantamount to wasting Aaron's hard work. I believe he will not want to see such a result!"

After all, Viscount Steve softened his tone to Angeli, and said softly: "Lily, I know he is your first man, so you will feel that you can't forget him, but—don't forget that he was What did it do to you!"

An Geli's body trembled when she heard the words, and she couldn't help lowering her head, as if recalling the 'bad' treatment she received in Aaron's car back then and Aaron's coercive behavior towards her.

Seeing this scene, Viscount Steve showed a gratified smile on his face, and continued to persuade:

"Don't forget, Aaron forced you into his car. If he hadn't used the situation to force you, you wouldn't have acted like this, right? In other words, he forced you to do these things. What happened was not your 'wish'!"

"In the end, you just have some hazy feelings about him because of 'that incident', and it's not that you really can't forget him."

"People always have a beautification effect on the first time, no matter how bad it is"

Viscount Steve's words are not unreasonable, on the contrary, this is an explanation that is quite in line with the current situation - very much in line with Angelie's situation.

Regarding this, An Geli still kept her head down, her silent posture seemed to acquiesce to Viscount Steve's words.

Therefore, Viscount Steve's smile became even more gratified, and he persuaded him gently: "My daughter, you still don't understand the rules of survival among nobles. When Aaron used the situation to force you, why didn't we use He protects us? It's just a merciless 'deal'."

"Now Aaron has successfully completed his mission-he successfully got what he wanted, and then paid the 'price' to protect us, and we don't have to feel owed to him. It's just a transaction between the two parties."

"It's all just a 'deal', not a real relationship."

If we look at it in essence, it seems that the relationship between Aaron and Angoli is indeed a 'deal', without any other agreement involved, so there is nothing wrong with Steve's words.

"Besides, if we go back now, the chasing troop that even Aaron can't deal with can't do anything with our strength. If the entire carriage team falls into the enemy's hands, I'm afraid the end waiting for you is definitely an impossible one. It's a 'nightmare', you must be very clear about this, Lily."

After finishing speaking, Steve stretched out his hand and patted An Geli on the shoulder, looked at An Geli who had kept her head down and kept silent, and said in relief: "Lily, I know you still can't accept this kind of change all of a sudden, it's normal , you go back to the car and take a good rest~, I promise you will forget about him in a few days, right—”

Steve turned his head and told everyone, "Let's wait another five minutes. If we don't see Aaron again, we'll set off right away—we can't stay here any longer and take risks."

This proposal was agreed by everyone, and everyone began to pack up their things one after another, leaving only An Geli who had been sitting on the carriage pedal with her head bowed and silent, while Steve glanced at An Geli and expressed his relief again. After a sentence, he turned and returned to his carriage.

Viscount Steve entered his carriage, lay comfortably on the chair, and waited for the next carriage to depart. However, just two or three minutes later, there was a sudden noise outside.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy? What are the people outside doing?"

Just when Steve was about to get up and go out to find out what happened, the housekeeper Jerry rushed in and said out of breath, "Miss An Ge Li."

"Miss An Geli quietly rode the only steed back while we were not paying attention!!!"

Viscount Steve's face changed drastically, and he rushed out of the carriage in a hurry, looked up, but could only vaguely see the end of his sight——

A fine horse carried a petite figure, bumping and undulating in the downpour, and gradually disappeared in the rain
When Viscount Steve saw this, he immediately covered his forehead with his hand, as if there was nothing he could do about it, because the speed at which the horse really ran was beyond the reach of even a peak knight——

Because the speed of a knight is only faster than a horse in an instant, and the speed of running for a long time is definitely not as fast as a horse. This is why Aaron asked to keep a horse in the first place.

However, Angeli and Viscount Steve had such a long distance that Steve couldn't keep up with her no matter what.

Thinking of this, Viscount Steve couldn't help stomping his feet and cursed in a low voice——

"This idiot~!"
