This was a tragic war, and the demon clan won at a painful cost.

A young swordsman fled in a hurry. He never thought that the empire would lose that war.

He escaped, to be precise...he survived.

In his hand was a sword wrapped in clothing, which he named - Dance of Death.

He was saved by this sword.

At that time, the demon clan surrounded him and the seniors, and they stepped forward one by one to duel with the seniors.

Even though the swordsmen are stronger than those monsters, there are too many of them.

Precisely because they knew this absolutely irreparable numerical gap, those demon clans, even when they saw their compatriots being killed by swordsmen, did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, they were extremely excited.

"It's really boring. Who will be next?"

A monster clan, standing over the corpses of more than a dozen of his compatriots, took off the head of a swordsman.

This demon clan is very rampant because he killed a swordsman in a duel. Even though this swordsman had been consumed by his companions, most of his physical strength and energy were exhausted. When fighting him, even lifting the sword seemed laborious.

.

Even so, he was also injured.

For a moment, he wanted to step down just like that, because he had already won the victory and gained reputation, and there was no need to continue to fight the swordsmen here.

But if he does that, it will not comply with the rules of this duel. The one who takes the stage will either die or win in the end.

"Why don't you let me go?"

The young man spoke, he also wanted to provide some help to these seniors.

During the battle with the monster army, these seniors protected him. Without their help, given his experience and strength, he would have died long ago.

From the beginning to the present of this battle, he was basically not injured. On the contrary, some seniors were injured in order to protect him.

At this time, they were surrounded by countless monsters and had no way to survive. Instead of letting these continue to protect themselves, it would be better to die like this, at least they would not become a burden to their predecessors.

"You can not."

The older swordsman is still alive, but already scarred. He is old, but this boy is still young. No matter when or where he is, he will not let a young man die in front of him, nor will he let a different one die in front of him.

A nobleman's son was killed by demons.

"Then I'll do it."

After saying that, a swordsman walked up and after a fierce battle, he cut open the monster's body.

He didn't end up and didn't look back. He just stood there quietly, waiting for the next monster to come up.

"Why don't you let me go? If I go and delay, all the seniors can seize the time to recover. By then, even if you can't escape, the number of monsters killed will be even more."

The young man thinks that he is the useless one. Suppose he comes to power this time and exchanges his life for a certain amount of time so that the next swordsman can recover enough strength to kill one demon clan. Then the next swordsman who comes up will

They will kill more and more monsters.

And to protect him and let him live to the end...how many demon clans can he kill? Not even one-third of the number killed by the senior who first came to power.

Maybe, he was killed without even killing a demon clan.

"Delaying time? That's a good idea, but it's us delaying you, not you sacrificing yourself to delay us. You are still young and have hope while you are alive.

The purpose of us old guys coming here is nothing more than to fight to the death. If it doesn't work once, come back next time.

This is our long-cherished wish, not yours. You have more important and greater things to do."

Of course, the older swordsmen know very well that if they allow their experienced swordsmen to recover for a while, they can kill many more enemies. However, they will not use young children to buy time for themselves. This is their pride.

Even on the battlefield, everyone is a warrior, but they will still take care of these young beings, especially this young man, a noble child who yearns for a chivalrous life. If this young man is alive, how many chivalrous people will be helped?

?

People in the court don't like knights, and knights are often framed and imprisoned, and they can't find any evidence to prove that those knights are innocent.

If you want to change this situation, you must change the thinking of the nobles.

What's more, this young man is not the kind of paunchy nobleman who enjoys the best life in the world, but a nobleman who is full of a sense of justice and believes in honor and country.

This is the nobility that people expect.

"But we can't escape."

The young man accepted his fate. He had regretful thoughts in his heart, but he quickly put those regretful thoughts behind him.

On impulse, he came here alone while his family was not paying attention. From then on, he would be cut off from the noble life. He would die. He was still young, but he would die here.

Should he regret it? Maybe he should regret it. After all, if he didn't come here, he could live longer and do more meaningful things, but he doesn't regret it.

Protect your home and country, even if you die, you will have no regrets.

His current idea is that if there is no chance to escape, then he will fight to the death for another demon clan. Assuming that one demon clan will kill three people, then each additional demon clan they kill is equivalent to saving three people.

Therefore, he should show that he would die in the hands of those monsters, so that these seniors could kill more monsters and save more people.

"That's not necessarily true. My child, don't give up hope at any time. If we all die, you have to remember that your life was bought by us. Don't give up easily."

This is what the older swordsmen thought. Master Dolan died, but it was due to a sneak attack. The pillar of swordsmanship in their hearts still did not collapse.

The demon clan can only defeat such a strong swordsman through sneak attacks, and such a strong swordsman will appear soon.

Not long after the death of every Wuji Master, a new Wuji Master will appear. This time is not far away. By then, even if the Wuji Gym is destroyed, it can still be rebuilt. Here, it will still be the front line against the demon clan.

.

"...Can you tell me your name? Senior."

Young people are also talented. He is only twelve or thirteen years old now. He has only been practicing swordsmanship for four or five years, but he is already around the fifth level of strength. Even with sword energy, he can swing a few swords. There is no difference between him and those seniors.

The difference is nothing more than the experience of facing the enemy.

"Name? It's not necessary. If you survive, when you pay homage to me, you can also pay homage to the swordsman who died here."

The older swordsman did not say his name. His family has always been ashamed of him. The meaning and primary goal of existence of nobles and aristocratic families is to ensure the continuation of their own family, the prosperity and decline of the country, and the prosperity and decline of the country.

They have no relationship.

And he gave up the opportunity to inherit the family head, escaped from the family, and became a wandering swordsman.

Even his younger brother, who became the head of the family because he escaped, hates him.

Because he doesn't deserve to be a noble.

He hasn't told anyone about his name and family for a long time. His brother thinks he is unworthy, his parents think he is unworthy, and he himself also thinks he is unworthy.

No matter what good things he has done for the country and the people, he is a man who has abandoned his family. He cannot name the name given to him by his family.

"...Well, I will."

The young man had no hope of escaping. Even if these seniors sacrificed themselves to delay and give him a chance to escape, there were millions of monsters surrounding a dozen of them. How could they escape?

Just like in the ocean, every drop of water around you is a sharp sword. If you want to leave the ocean, you will suffer the pain of ten thousand swords piercing your heart. Even if you leave the ocean, your body will be shattered, which is meaningless.

"Good boy."

The older swordsman was very pleased, and so were the swordsmen around him.

They are all human beings, and they have their own good and evil. Good people will do bad things, and bad people will do good things.

Maybe they once failed to restrain their greed when faced with treasure. Maybe they once coveted beauty and harmed a family of girls. Maybe they once abandoned their comrades and fled from the battlefield. However, they are still standing here, willing to protect

A younger generation sacrifices himself.

Not only that, among these dozen swordsmen, there are also butchers who kill many people. Perhaps participating in this war is the first good thing they have done in their lives.

The second thing is to try our best to keep this young man alive.

Screams and cheers, during this period, are like the bells announcing the dawn, reminding everyone of the time.

Swordsmen fell one after another, and the bodies piled higher and higher on the ring.

The young man is there, waiting to die.

He didn't believe in any miracles.

Soon, it was the older swordsman's turn.

This is one of only two people left.

"I'm going up. Take care of yourself, kid. There is hope while you are alive. We will clear the way for you."

The older swordsman still has illusions. He always believes that Wuji will not be destroyed so easily. Wuji represents the way of swordsmanship. If the way of swords exists, Wuji will exist.

He believed that as long as the delay was long enough, they would be able to get support and rescue, because an important reason for Wuji's defeat this time was that a demon slaughtered a large number of swordsmen, and it took three days to deliver the news and

We can't let all the swordsmen come near Wuji.

At this time, there must be swordsmen around who are about to arrive.

Regardless of whether they have the idea of ​​​​support or rescue, if Wuji is occupied by monsters, they will slaughter these monsters and take Wuji back.

"You're still protecting that kid. Is he a big shot? Is he worthy of you doing this?"

However, the efforts of the older swordsman and other swordsmen were not in vain.

The monsters have all noticed the situation here. Although most of the monsters are not very smart, after becoming extraordinary, the wisdom of the monsters will not be any worse than that of humans.

There are extraordinary beings from the demon clan around here.
