Chapter 1015: Sword Master "Decrepitude" (Part 2)

"Cough, cough cough..."

Lucy cleared her dry throat.

"It's so tiring."

Lucy complained angrily while rubbing her throat.

"There are too few knights in the army now. Including Coach Allen, there are only 5 knights. It is too difficult for such a small number of knights to manage an army of hundreds of thousands..."

Lucy now deeply experienced the consequences of having too few knights as high-ranking generals.

Currently, there are only 4 knights in the army except Allen.

The Knights of Uriel have a total of 150,000 people. On average, each person has to manage nearly 40,000 people, which means that each person has to manage 2 armies.

You can imagine how much work there is and how tiring it will be.

After shouting "Don't panic" and "Don't make any noise" countless times, Lucy now felt like smoke was rising from her throat.

Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain.

The Uriel Knights' camp gradually became quiet and stable.

The generals of the Uriel Knights, who really thought that nothing happened tonight, returned to their respective camps and fell asleep.

And Lucy and others can finally take a break.

Lucy struggled to move her sore and almost unconscious feet on her way back to the camp where she lived.

Halfway through, she suddenly took a fancy to a big stone not far from her.

She traveled throughout the camp tonight, and her feet were already so sore that it seemed as if they were no longer her own feet.

There was no rush to return to the camp to rest anyway, so Lucy decided to sit on the big rock for a while and wait until her strength recovered a little before heading back to her tent.

She hummed an unknown tune while walking slowly towards the big stone.

Just when her butt touched the big stone, a chill suddenly came from her neck.

At the same time, an old male voice sounded from behind her:

"Don't move, don't make any sound."

As soon as the old man's voice fell, Lucy was shocked all over.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his throat.

He saw a short sword being held between his throat.

The sharp blade was close to the aorta in her neck.

As long as the owner of this dagger is willing, he can use the dagger in his hand to cut the aorta in Lucy's neck at any time.

Gu...

After Lucy swallowed hard, she asked the unknown person squatting behind her with a dagger at her throat:

"Who are you?"

While asking for the identity of the person behind her, she quietly looked around, hoping that there would be someone around her who could help her.

It's a pity - within Lucy's field of vision, no one can be seen near her.

Faced with Lucy's question, the mysterious man crouching behind her said:

"You don't have to worry about who I am.

"

"answer my question."

"Where is your Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Lucy asked.

As soon as Lucy finished her rhetorical question, the dagger attached to her neck suddenly tightened.

The sharp sword blade cut open the skin on her neck, and a few drops of blood slid down the wound on her neck.

"Just answer whatever I ask you. Don't talk unnecessary nonsense."

"Yes Yes!"

After swallowing hard again, Lucy said in a voice trembling with fear:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, she was rescued by Enli. Now her and Enli's whereabouts are unknown. Coach Allen has sent a cavalry team to pursue them."

"Enli?" The mysterious man behind Lucy sounded a little more surprised.

After a moment of silence, the mysterious man behind Lucy asked again:

"Which direction did the two of them flee to?"

"I don't know! Coach Allen probably doesn't know either, so Coach Allen sent the cavalry in different directions!"

"Like This……"

After that, the mysterious man behind Lucy fell into silence for a long time.

And Lucy was also waiting hard for the next reaction of the mysterious person behind her.

At the same time, he kept moving his eyes and tried to glance back, hoping to see clearly the appearance of the mysterious person behind him.

Unfortunately, due to the angle, Lucy couldn't clearly see the appearance of the person behind her.

It can only be distinguished from the voice - the person behind him must be very old, at least 5 or 60 years old.

After being silent for who knows how long, the mysterious talent behind Lucy finally spoke out again:

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for the valuable information you provided me."

Hearing this, Lucy's face lit up with joy.

Just when she was about to ask the mysterious person behind her if he was willing to let her go, the next words spoken by the mysterious person behind her made the look on Lucy's face instantly turn into a desperate gray color.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, little girl."

“Whenever you choose to do something, you must first estimate the cost of doing it.”

"Since you choose to follow Allen and rebel against the Britannia Empire with Allen, you must be prepared to be liquidated by the Britannia people."

After saying that, the dagger on Lucy's neck suddenly tightened.

The sharp sword blade easily cut through the skin, muscles, and blood vessels on Lucy's neck.

Warm blood immediately spurted out from Lucy's wound like a fountain.

"Well...well..."

Lucy covered the wound on her neck, trying to stop the blood spurting out.

But her actions were doomed to be in vain. Even if she raised her hand to block the wound, blood would still spurt out from between her fingers.

She wanted to shout and ask for help.

But no matter how wide she opened her mouth, she could not make a word come out of her mouth.

…

…

Jacob looked at the female knight struggling in front of him with indifference, and watched the vitality continue to flow out of the female knight's wound with indifference.

It was not until the female knight completely gave up struggling and collapsed in a pool of blood that Jacob put the dagger that had just cut the female knight's neck artery back into the sheath.

Lucy, who had completely lost her voice, did not know until her death that the person who killed her was Jacob, the prime minister of the Britannia Empire.

After successfully killing the seven armored warriors who were responsible for arresting him, Jacob did not rush to escape from the barracks.

After all, Jacob could not leave alone.

In order to rescue Ilsa, Jacob had been lurking in the camp.

Jacob was also lucky enough to run into this lone female knight (Lucy).

The knights who could still move freely in the camp must be the ones in Alan's group.

So Jacob sneaked behind the female knight and got a lot of very important information from her.

"You are really amazing, Enli..." Jacob murmured, "I really... thank you very much."

After talking to himself like this, Jacob left the place.

Jacob silently decided his next move: escape from the camp!

Then meet up with Enli and Ilsa!
