Pirates to the top

Chapter 7: Sleepless Night

Until Phillips felt a strong wind blowing against his cheek, Alfred's wooden sword was already hovering in front of him.

"so close"

Phillips looked at the scene in front of him with some fear.

Henry held Alfred's sword hilt tightly with his right hand.

"Alfred" Henry looked at him with squinted eyes.Alfred, on the other hand, looked forward with his dark eyes expressionlessly, looking at Phillips.

"Henry,,,,,,, cough, be careful." Phillips seemed relieved to see Henry arriving, and then he covered his abdomen with some pain and slowly slid to the ground.

Henry hooked his right foot lightly, hugged Phillips with his arms, and then threw him backwards.

Silas had quick eyesight and quick hands. The moment Henry took action, he moved to hug Phillips the moment he fell.

Alfred didn't know whether he was irritated or due to the influence of migraine, but the green spots on his forehead exploded.

Henry squatted down and avoided Alfred's fierce hand knife attack, but he had to give up the handle of the wooden knife that he was holding tightly.

After regaining control of the wooden knife, Alfred slowly leaned down and looked at Henry with lifeless black eyes.

"Henry" Jack also rushed over at this time.

Henry said with a relaxed face: "Monet, take Phillips back to Dog Hole No. 9 and bandage him. Valpo, go to the town to find Doctor Zed. By the way, he shouldn't be in his private room at this time. Clinic, go to the Mare Bar on Flint Street to find him."

"it is good"

"pass it to me"

At this time, more and more people were attracted to the field because of the previous movement. The young but sophisticated teenagers came out of the dog hole one after another to watch this scene.

"Hey, isn't that Henry?"

"It's really like the last time I saw him was last year."

"Tch, from your tone, it sounds like you are familiar with this person."

"Don't believe it, Henry personally gave me drinks for the New Year's Eve last year."

"Idiot, you're talking as if someone else didn't send it to Henry."

"Stop arguing and bothering me while watching the show. The other person's name is Alfred. What's going on? There's a fight in Dog Cave No. 9."

Looking at the growing number of teenagers around him, Henry thought to himself: "This is not good." Henry actually didn't want him and his companions in the dog hole to be exposed too much. It was enough to show St. Phillips in front of others.Exposing too much is not conducive to his future plans. After all, he discovered and carefully selected everyone in Dog Cave No. 9 one by one.Incompetent and disobedient people like Franken have long been excluded by Henry, and most people don't even have to think about entering Dog Hole No. 9.

Looking at the guards on the wall, they looked like they were watching a show. As long as the slaves did not initiate a riot, their mission was just to hand over their duties.

"Excuse me Jack, you and Silas tell everyone to go back to bed. There's nothing to see here."

It was already late at night, and gusts of fierce cold wind swept across the open field. Henry actually hated the weather in the North Sea, not only because he was a southerner in his previous life.But fortunately, the feather coat he wore was of great value. The sufficient amount of light feathers and soft fur combined with the superb tailoring techniques prevented him from "discarding his armor" in the fierce cold wind.

But at this time, Alfred only had a thin coat on his body. The stinging cold wind made his muscles tremble continuously. This was certainly not Alfred's "original intention". The constant trembling of his muscles was entirely caused by his body. an instinctive reaction.

Alfred moved, and a sword light swept towards Henry's forehead.Henry naturally knew how powerful Alfred's swordsmanship was. This young man had only received superficial theoretical knowledge of swordsmanship before, but he had a talent that even Jack, a master swordsman who had been taught by a famous master, was ashamed of.

So Henry lowered his figure the moment Alfred acted.The sound of breaking wind passed over his head, and he crossed his hands, holding Alfred's right wrist with one hand, and stretched the other hand to the side of his neck.Arteries gather there, and the oxygen tube is also the site most likely to cause fainting.

At this time, Alfred's right hand that was firmly held by Henry suddenly loosened, and the tightly held wooden knife fell down, but was caught by his left hand.

""

Just as Henry reacted, Phillips stabbed him with his wooden knife backhand.But Henry did not panic. He jumped up slightly, and his right hand that was supposed to hit Alfred's neck reached to the ground, raising his whole body up.

The wooden knife narrowly cut through the gap between Henry and the ground.

"Bang" Henry leaned back and kicked Alfred out with the power of his arms.

Alfred thrust the wooden sword down, instantly stopping his momentum, and then rolled directly towards Henry's position without getting up, slashing Henry's ankle with a "ground knife".

At this time, Henry was still at a time when his old strength was just disappearing and his new strength was making a living, so he had no time to evade.

Faced with such a sudden attack, Henry raised his arms to protect his body. With a muffled sound, a burst of sawdust flew, and the blade of the knife, which Alfred had almost taken out, clearly appeared. Through the gap, Henry seemed to be safe and sound, and he was able to stay away from Alfred through the force he had just exerted.

"It's amazing." Jack, who had just "cleared the field," said to himself while looking at the two people in the field.

Jack is also a master of swordsmanship. He once had a superior environment and learned Western swordsmanship since he was a child.In the arena, there was a faint trend of being the No. 1 swordsman, but at this moment, he felt that he could not compare with the two people in the arena.

Henry was also very surprised when he looked at the expressionless Alfred in front of him, because in his impression Alfred's swordsmanship had always been biased toward openness and fairness.But Alfred, who was paranoid at this time, was extremely sharp with his sword, and every attack was extremely aggressive, even with a hint of evil.

In the past three years, Alfred has experienced at least four paranoid states. Each time he fell into this state, he would lose interaction with the outside world and become like a killing machine, killing everyone he saw.At first, Valpo and Silas were able to subdue Alfred in this state.

But as time went by, even Phillips, who had fish-man blood and was unrivaled in the arena, could not subdue him.Under paranoia, Alfred not only seemed to be a different person, but his swordsmanship also completely changed, becoming more fierce every time.

Alfred always blamed himself afterwards. He tried knife meditation and sleeping pills to try to control his descent into madness again.

At this time, the light on the sentry tower on the rear fence suddenly turned on, and the sound of the winch twisting and opening the fence was creaking, accompanied by Gabe Newell's highly recognizable duck-like curse.

“It must be resolved quickly”

Henry was able to convince everyone in Dog Cave No. 9 and gather a group of unruly but talented companions. Naturally, it was not only his personality charm, but also his strength that was so powerful that he could not compete with him.

At this time, the torrent of data was constantly reflected in Henry's retina.

Henry's bones crackled all over his body, and his right hand slowly dropped.Then he quickly approached Alfred.

Alfred also held the handle of the knife with both hands, raised it high above his head, and faced Henry.

When Henry was about to approach Alfred, he was already ready to attack and slashed hard at Henry.

This time's slash was not as powerful as the previous one, and even the sound of wind friction with the air was inaudible, but Henry knew very well the energy contained in this slash.

Henry's whole body made a crisp sound of bones. He deflected this downward slash in a weird way that almost defied physics, and dodged behind Alfred.

The missed slash caused a roaring wind pressure, blowing like a visible ripple to the end of the field, rolling up layers of smoke and dust, plowing shallow ravines on the ground.

"Flying Slash" Jack's eyes widened for a moment, and he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.Flying slashes are standard equipment for swordsmen. In other words, only swordsmen can deliver such vacuum slashes.Becoming a swordsman is the lifelong goal of every swordsman.

"It's true that it's just a prototype, and its power can't compete with the real flying slash, but Alfred does have the shadow of the flying slash."

After dodging this incomparable blow, Henry looked at Alfred's back with a solemn expression.

But out of sight of Henry, the corners of Alfred's mouth, which should have been expressionless, were slightly raised. He twisted his body and used the power of his waist to slash the wooden knife towards his back.

Henry's right palm struck Alfred's ulnar nerve at the elbow like a poisonous snake.A numbness penetrated his cerebral cortex, and his elbow became numb for an instant, losing consciousness. The wooden knife that was supposed to be slashing at Henry flew away from his wrist.

Henry took advantage of the situation to pursue him, hitting Alfred's arm sockets with his hands again. After two crisp sounds, Alfred's arms also dropped.

Finally, Henry hit him in the neck with a knife, and Alfred finally lost consciousness and fell into Henry's arms behind him.
