74.Loyalty and Monsters【14/60】 (page 2/2)
monsters and trash.”
The tall vampire Arthur in front of him seemed to be very familiar with Maxim, winking and making nasty jokes wantonly..
He stood a few steps away from Maxim, looking at the "brother" in front of him who seemed different from before with his scarlet eyes, and then at the carriage behind him..
He could feel that there was a weak vampire in the carriage.
That should be Mrs. Tracey whom Lord Jade wants..
“You did bring her as ordered. How nice of you, Mark! I'm glad to see you still maintain the loyalty you're so proud of. Lord Jed will be pleased and reward you for this..”
Vampire Arthur waved his hand and said to Maxim：
“You can leave, I'll take over the rest.”
“Is it Lord Jade's order?？”
Maxim asked.
This unnecessary question made Arthur twitch his mouth in displeasure. He endured the impatience in his heart and said：
“Of course, didn't I say you can leave? You didn't have so many things before.”
Maxim looked at the darkness around him.
It was the darkest moment before dawn, and it was quiet around this deserted village. It was really perfect by the standards of a tomb. He moved his fingers and said：
“Did you come alone? Where are the others?？”
“It's none of your business! Mark, be obedient and let's go..”
Arthur was no longer willing to waste time talking to the good brother he used to be "just right" with. He passed Maxim and walked towards Mrs. Tracey's carriage..
Behind him, Maxim gently held the swift sword named "Ambition and Dream" at his waist, and he said dumbly：
“Arthur, do you remember this place?？”
“here？”
Vampire Arthur looked around and replied impatiently：
“Isn't this just an abandoned village? There were places like this everywhere in the Ten Years' War. What on earth do you want to say?？”
“It seems you have forgotten, what a pity.”
The sharp blade slowly unsheathed.
The green shimmering blade rubbed against the edge of the scabbard and made a sound, like some kind of weird whistling..
Behind the vampire, Maxim moved his shoulders and whispered：
“This is the place where we were born. We grew up together, wandered together, were adopted by Lord Jed together, became blood servants together, and imagined the future together in a dark shack..
They call me 'Monster', they call you 'Hercules'’.
Those distant things seem like a lifetime ago, right? Arthur.”
“mark! put your weapons back！”
The vampire has realized something is wrong.
He held the swift sword of the same style at his waist, turned around and said to Maxim who was showing the blood vulture sword technique.：
“Don't be stupid！”
To this final warning, Maxim's response was.
charge！
“clang”
The two sharp blades almost collided together in the next moment..
Maxim's charge was easily blocked by the vampire Arthur. He was known for his brute strength before he was first embraced, and after becoming a vampire, his strength was obviously strengthened a lot..
The two weapons clashed with such force that sparks flew along the sword blades. They stood almost face to face outside this deserted village..
Time seemed to have paused at this moment, the scarlet eyes staring at the visor blocking the expression in front of him, but he could still see the disappointed eyes that seemed to be burning with fire in the gap..
“You tampered with the results of the draw, right?？”
Maxim said hoarsely：
“You were supposed to bring eight blood slaves to support Lord Murphy. You know that in Jade’s eyes, we low-level blood slaves are not human beings at all. You know the result of that trip.
But you still chose to push me out！”
What responded to him was a burst of silence and a sudden burst of murderous intent..
As the vampire Arthur's arm pushed forward, Maxim was pushed out. He then changed his posture and regained his balance, with the tip of the sword hanging downwards..
“Wouldn’t it be nice to survive?？”
The blood wings behind Arthur opened and closed. Amidst the increasingly cold wind, a few tumbleweeds passed by the feet of the two of them as if there were no one around. Arthur, who was already a real vampire, said in a deep voice.：
“Why bother with things that make people unhappy? Do you know that I was so happy to see you back alive, my monster brother?.”
“No, I don't blame you.”
Maxim stepped forward again to launch an offensive.
The blood vulture swordsmanship, which has broken through to the master level in successive bloody battles, shines with a deadly edge in the dark night, but this is not fatal to vampires..
After all, it was just basic swordsmanship, and at this time, still strengthened by the night, although Arthur was only a seven-day-old "vampire baby", he relied on his instincts to easily deal with Maxim's sword after sword..
“I even have to thank you! It's because you stabbed your 'monster' brother in the back that we both seem to have found what we longed for..
You got Jed's appreciation..
And I have found a master who is truly worthy of allegiance, so that my loyalty that I have nowhere to devote can be full of value..”
Maxim's voice became louder and louder, and his offensive became more and more urgent..
Arthur, who was opposite him, remained silent until he finished shouting what he was thinking. Then he suddenly raised a sword to break through Maxim's sword blockade and stabbed him directly in the shoulder. It seemed that he planned to use this sword to stop Maxim. " suicidal action”.
However, this inevitable sword was dodged by Maxim with a weird sliding step, and then he struck sideways like a flash in the next moment. The whizzing sword edge opened Arthur's helmet, allowing the exquisite scarlet helmet to strike. It flew out and hit the ground again.
Also flying out was a strand of hair and a few drops of blood belonging to the vampire..
“I really don't blame you, bro..”
Maxim retracts his sword.
As Arthur watched in astonishment, he held the sword in front of him with one hand. The first ray of morning light slowly emerged behind him, and the still cold wind whistled past the armor and hair of the two people..
“This battle is not mixed with any personal vendetta. It is just that you have to complete Jade's instructions, and I must be loyal to my master. That's all..”
The loyal servant pushed up his visor and said in a deep voice：
“Arthur, only one of us brothers can make it out alive. Please, please be serious.！”
“you monster！”
The vampire realized that he had fallen into Maxim's trap the moment he saw the morning light. This guy had been using strange language to delay time in order to offset his advantage in the night..
Arthur felt that he had been deceived. It was clear that Maxim had not been so clever and cunning before.！
It seems that I am not the only one who has been transformed in the past seven days..
The anger originating from his heart may also be mixed with a little guilt and the shame when his little trick was exposed, which finally made him no longer show mercy..
He raised his sword and used the more dangerous swordsmanship of the Tomb Sword Guard to attack. He was confident that he could kill Maxim with this swordsmanship taught by Lord Jed himself. However, five consecutive misses with his swords made Arthur feel anxious. The unknown became more and more real, and in the next moment, Maxim stepped forward with the same posture but obviously more proficient in the swordsmanship of the tomb sword guard, and stabbed his left shoulder with his sword..
The blade slid and blood splattered.
“you! how could you.”
“This is what Master Murphy taught you! He valued me and tried his best to cultivate me. He not only gave me hope but also taught me wisdom. My master is much more generous than that piece of shit Jade. I said it, Arthur.
Be serious! my brother.
otherwise
you will die！”
