Chapter 30 (2/2)

It only took a glance for her to realise who it was.

“Captain!”

“Heath. Fall back.”

After giving a command, York lowered his body, and then sprung into action like a panther. It only took one stroke to sink the five dumbfounded men.

With one eye-catching strike, he turned around the situation.

A few seconds later, Crow leapt into the same room.

“Whoawhoaa. That was f.u.c.king dangerous! York! How is it? Can we escape?”

“No. Heath aside, the women and children won’t be able to. We’ll wait for them here.”

“Yeah, thought so!”

“Let’s go.”

Crow had stumbled a little when he landed, but once he drew his sword, his expression showed no less intensity than York’s.

The duo stood a little diagonally to the broken door, and immediately cut down the enemies once they pa.s.sed through.

Their sword skills made them seem like G.o.ds of war.

(Amazing… I have to help too…) thought Fii.

But just as she was about to move,

“”Heath! You sit still!””

Despite them facing the other way, for some reason the two called out to her.

Fii decided to untie the rest of the captives.

The hired goons tried to defeat the two knights as well, but the small frame of the door hindered the advantage their numbers gave them.

Even if they charged through the door, neither York nor Crow would lose just because it was two versus one.

“Kuh! Can’t break through!”

Just as some man had said that, the roar of a boom reverberated through the air.

“A cannon!? It can’t be that there are other soldiers!?”

The sound scared the men who were still conscious, and some began to flee. But neither York nor Crow failed to intercept them.

Close to ten people were brought down when they went for the door.

“Hii! Run for it!”

“These guys are monsters!”

The men who managed to make it down the corridor, all the way to the bend, were suddenly sent flying from the side by some ma.s.s of metal.

With steady steps, Orbull appeared from the shadows of the corridor. In his hand was a cannon.

Although some of them probably escaped, the majority of the people in the manor had been taken down by these three.

Orbull turned in Heath’s direction and, with a grin, gave her a thumbs up.
