Chapter 590 Only Children Make Choices

Hearing the unkind voice of the visitor, Ryan turned around abruptly with a serious expression.

At some point, a young man dressed in gorgeous aristocratic costumes and a hunchbacked old man had already stood not far from the five mercenaries.

Moreover, around the necks of the five mercenaries who had just escaped from death, several sharp ice blades overflowing with cold air were suspended from different angles, making the five of them not dare to move, and they froze in place.

There is no doubt that as long as the caster has a thought, the five mercenaries who are at a loss will immediately splatter blood on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Ryan frowned, and looked back at the caster, the young man in gorgeous noble attire.

In stark contrast to the gorgeous clothes on his body, he saw a serious but playful smile on the gray face of the other party, and his brows revealed that he was seven points condescending and three points vicious.

"Cliff, what do you want to do?"

Looking at the blue magic circle constantly rotating on the top of the staff in the hands of the nobleman in Chinese clothes, Ryan asked in a deep voice.

This noble man named Cleaver is the youngest son of the lord of Gray Rock City, the largest nearby city.

As a typical dude of aristocrats, relying on the power and money of the city lord's father, he usually runs rampant in Gray Rock City. It can be said that everyone knows everyone... Maybe it is more appropriate to use notoriety.

Even the strength of his third-tier powerhouse was promoted by relying on his father's huge resources.

And his father, the city lord, as a representative figure of the newly promoted nobles, was no less than the Marquis Ladd, the city lord of Tiege Castle next door, in all kinds of cruel methods of governing the fiefdom and searching for the people's anointing.

"What are you doing? Naturally, I want to avenge my lovely pet."

Cleaver looked at the motionless Rockhorn Wolf King with a cold gaze.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the colorful staff in his hand flicking lightly in mid-air.

As the cold air rose, the sharp ice blades suspended around the necks of the five mercenaries moved forward one after another, and directly pressed against the skin of the five mercenaries' necks.

"ah!"

Feeling the bone-chilling chill from the sharp tip of the ice blade, Bonnie, who was caught off guard, couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and forced her trembling body from fear to stabilize again.

This way of death, which could be pierced through the throat by a sharp ice blade at any time, obviously terrified her to the extreme.

However, Bonnie's star pupils still shone with brilliance.

She did not give up hope, after all, not far away, there is the knight who just saved her! Lord Knight will definitely come to rescue her!

On the other side, seeing the traces of blood oozing from Bonnie's white neck held by the ice blade, Ryan's hand holding the heavy metal bow tightly was a little harder.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "Clever, so you raised this third-tier rockhorn wolf king?"

"Idiot, have you finally reacted?"

Smiling disdainfully, Clever's gray face suddenly showed a strong hostility, and he said furiously: "Speaking of which, you are just a watchdog raised by my lord, and you have the right to call me directly name?"

After a pause, Cleaver's voice became louder again, and he shouted, "Call me, Master Cleaver!"

Hearing the sound, although Ryan was expressionless, he tightly held the hand of the metal bow. After holding it pale, he finally released it weakly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Master Cleaver."

At this moment, Ryan clearly understood.

Just like what the other party said, in the final analysis, I am just a small independent knight leader who has no backing and relies on the fief of the other family...even if this fief once belonged to his family.

And behind the opponent, there is the second prince who is a strong contender for the throne, surrounded by cities of the same force.

Therefore, as a fallen nobleman who was almost forced to disband the knight order, there was obviously no comparison with the other party who was in the limelight.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, even if it is just for the sake of other people in the knight order, so as not to be maliciously hurt by the other party, he, as the leader of the knight order, has no choice but to obey.

"Hahaha, it really is an obedient pug!"

On the other side, a wild and proud smile began to appear unscrupulously on Cleaver's face, filling the entire forest.

Seeing Cliff staring at Ryan with disdain, but the latter chose to remain silent, Bonnie on the side froze for a moment, her eyes gradually darkened.

She felt that something in her heart was collapsing rapidly.

It seems that those brave knights who are not afraid of power and finally save the weak really only exist in the hymns and fairy tales of bards...

"Okay, now it's time to settle the accounts between us."

I saw Cliff spat disdainfully at first, and then said grimly: "I originally let my lovely pet out to hunt and kill a few mercenaries for fun, but now it is dead, how should this account be settled? "

"Hunting mercenaries?!"

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged mercenary captain was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "So you are the one who issued the entrusted task?!"

"Nonsense, picking up a few pebbles in exchange for a large amount of commission, where in this world can there be such a beautiful thing?"

Like looking at an insignificant ant, he glanced at the middle-aged mercenary captain, and Cleaver sneered: "The toy that was my pet was tortured and killed, this is the price of your stupidity!"

"No wonder there are strange traces of cover-up, all of this is actually man-made..."

I saw Bonnie biting her red lips tightly, and mustered up her courage to ask: "Is a human life not as good as a monster?"

"It turns out there's a pretty nice chick here."

Looking at Bonnie's delicate body up and down, Cliff licked his chapped lips as if he had discovered a new world, and said, "Maybe my lord can delay your death for a while."

Looking at Bonnie's fair face stained with blood, Cliff grinned coldly and said, "As for your question, my lord can answer you clearly. My lord is an aristocrat and a member of high society, and you small town mercenaries, In the eyes of my uncle, he is simply inferior to a pig or a dog."

"you……"

Bonnie was at a loss for words for a while, but she didn't know how to refute.

And the other party's vicious eyes full of wretchedness made her hair stand on end, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Master Clever, these mercenaries are also residents of Gray Rock City, and they are part of your father's rule. As the ruler of this land, you should be the patron of the residents. Why do you want to kill innocent people instead?"

On the other side, Ryan held the heavy bow tightly, with a face full of embarrassment.

"My lord doesn't need you, a trash religion whose ancestors couldn't even keep their own land."

Looking at Ryan with disdain, Cleaver said contemptuously: "As a lost dog, don't bark incompetently here."

"Back then, if your family hadn't used the name of marriage to subtly control the power and finally supported your own family's heir to the throne, how could Huiyan City have easily fallen into your hands..."

I saw Ryan with a dignified expression, gritted his teeth and said.

"I don't need my lord to teach you the simple truth of success and defeat, right? If you want to blame it, blame your lustful and stupid ancestors."

With a sneer, an uncontrollable murderous look appeared on Cliff's gray face, and he said solemnly: "Since the brave knight is so willing to protect the weak, then I will give you a chance."

After Clever finished speaking, he immediately nodded to the crooked old man beside him who had been smiling slyly.

"Hey, young master, the other cuties are already too hungry."

The stooped old man understood, and the gloomy look on his withered old face became more intense.

He took out a silver metal bell from his pocket and shook it lightly.

In the next second, the silver bell that was supposed to appear did not ring, but high-pitched and sharp wolf howls came from both east and west directions at the same time.

rumbling...

Accompanied by the tremors brought about by the running of the giant body, in a short while, two rock horned wolf kings exuding a powerful aura appeared in the east and west directions.

"This old man turned out to be a beast tamer? No wonder he can make a third-order beast so tame."

Seeing this scene, Ryan secretly exclaimed in his heart.

At the same time, an ominous chill rose from the bottom of his heart in an instant.

Ryan just thought of this.

Around his neck, several sharp blades also emerged out of thin air, directly imprisoning him in place.

Facing each other, I heard Cliff continue to say leisurely: "Okay, brave Sir Knight, it's time to make your choice."

"These two rockhorn wolf kings will pounce on you and the other five mercenaries at the same time. Although you can hit every shot, with your strength, you can only stop one in time."

"All in all, you, or the five mercenaries, one of them will always be a delicious meal for a rock horned wolf king."

Looking at the astonished Ryan playfully, Cliff said grimly: "Then let me take a good look at what kind of choice you, who have always taken protecting the weak as your duty, will make."

"Master Ryan, don't worry about us, just kill the rock horned wolf king that is rushing towards you! Even if you sacrifice yourself, this cruel guy will not let us go!"

Not far away, the middle-aged mercenary captain twisted his body, tried to move but failed, so he had to shout loudly.

"Untouchable, has my lord allowed you to speak?"

There was a condescending shout, and Cliff's gray face suddenly became gloomy.

He waved his staff without hesitation, and the ice blades surrounding the mercenary captain all pierced into the limbs of the middle-aged mercenary captain, causing the latter to lose his balance and instantly fell to the ground.

In order to make the mercenary captain more painful, this ruthless male nobleman did not choose to directly pierce his neck, but commanded a sharp ice blade to rub the mercenary captain's flesh and blood back and forth, causing him to faint from pain past.

"Okay, brave knight, it's time to make your choice."

Still looking at the dignified Ryan with playful eyes, Cleaver nodded again to the withered old man beside him.

"Hey, it's time for the cuties to eat."

The withered old man smiled grimly at first, and then shook the silver bell in his hand that only monsters could hear.

On the other side, the two rockhorn wolf kings who received the signal, naturally without the slightest hesitation, immediately opened their bloody mouths, kicked the ground with their hind feet, and at the same time kicked up a cloud of dust.

Like two deadly scythes wielded by the god of death, they rushed towards Ryan and several other mercenaries respectively.

At the same time, a huge shiny shield appeared out of thin air in the withered old man's hand, blocking himself and Cliff.

As a third-tier animal trainer, he naturally knew how to protect himself and his master, lest the other party jump over the wall and make cold arrows.

Not far away, violent wild aura and manic energy fluctuations collided in the air, making the whole scene suddenly extremely tense.

It's a life or death choice.

Or, as the mercenary captain said, this is simply a dead end.

"what should I do?"

Feeling the slight chill brought by the tip of the ice blade, Ryan was already in a state of confusion.

He never thought that the other party would attack him directly at this moment!

However, this is also an expected thing.

After all, the youngest son of the city lord has secretly coveted the position of the head of the Knights of the Broken Blade for a long time.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the other party obviously planned it long ago.

"Even so, I still want to insist on being myself and protecting the weak. This is my unchanging belief, even if it is the last time in my life."

Realizing this, Ryan's hesitant eyes became firm again.

Seeing that he did not hesitate, he immediately opened his bow and set an arrow, pointing directly at the rock horned wolf king rushing towards the mercenaries.

And behind him, another huge rock-horned wolf king, with its sharp fangs exposed, flicked its bright red wolf tongue, and rushed towards it with murderous aura.

As a bow knight, leaving his vulnerable back to his opponent was something Ryan had never done, and now, he had no choice.

"Energy-gathering sniper!"

In the next second, a magic arrow exuding strong energy fluctuations suddenly shot out from the heavy metal bow in Ryan's hand.

While stirring up a gust of wind, he galloped straight towards the rock horned wolf king who was charging towards the innocent mercenaries.

"Aw... woo!"

Without any suspense, the bow knight shot the arrow with all his strength, and successfully hit the head of the rock horned wolf king.

This time, the huge impact brought by the arrow body shot directly from the eye sockets of the Rockhorn Wolf King to the back of his head.

As a result, this ferocious beast, which was stained with the blood of the human race who did not know how much, was thrown away, and at the same time, its ferocious face gradually solidified, and it was killed on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Ryan still maintained his bow posture with a calm face. Behind him, the sharp fangs of another Rockhorn Wolf King were already within easy reach!

However, at this moment, the mutation happened again.

The fourth rockhorn wolf king suddenly sprang out from the other side at a high speed, and charged at those mercenaries again!

At this time, Ryan, who was about to be swallowed by the giant wolf behind him, obviously had no time to shoot an arrow with all his strength that needed to be charged.

But Bonnie and the other sober mercenaries, who were a little less nervous just now, looked ashen again.

"Idiot, no matter what choice you make, you cannot avoid the fate of death, hahaha!"

Unbridled laughter rang out.

Not far away, the smiles on the cold faces of Cliff and the haggard old man grew stronger.

Just like what the middle-aged mercenary captain said.

From the very beginning, they never planned to let anyone present leave this forest alive.

"Fairy tales are indeed deceptive... How could there really be a hero who saves the weak? We are the ones who implicated this heroic knight..."

At this moment, Bonnie closed her star eyes, and let go of the staff she was holding tightly in her hand, apparently completely giving up hope.

Ryan, on the other hand, also had an unusually calm face.

At this moment, another young man with a gentle smile like a spring breeze and a tall and straight figure suddenly appeared in his heart.

"If that lord was in charge here, wouldn't such a thing happen? I really want to see that lord again."

Just when Ryan closed his eyes and gave up everything completely.

A faint voice suddenly entered the ears of everyone present: "Make a choice? Sorry, children only make choices, and I want them all."
