Chapter 612 Destined Encounter
"No one's coming up?"
General Yoda rode on his horse, his brow furrowed, his eyes sweeping over the soldiers and mercenaries who were cowering behind him, his tone filled with suppressed anger.
"Who dares? This is impossible to fight."
The soldier beside him shrank his neck, muttered softly, and his eyes drifted to the iron tower-like Bazso opposite.
Seeing that no one was fighting against Bazso, General Yoda couldn't help but curse inwardly:
"These damn mercenaries are fine when things go their way, but they don't dare to attack once they're frustrated."
He gritted his teeth and was about to urge him a few more times, but Bazso on the opposite side had already noticed his timidity.
Bazso grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and then he gestured back to the Midland soldiers:
"Brothers, don't be polite to them. Gouge out their eyes, drag out their intestines, and chop them into pig feed!"
His voice echoed on the battlefield like a loud bell, boosting the morale of the surrounding Midland soldiers, who raised their weapons and cheered.
Just then, there was a commotion behind Yoda's army.
General Yoda, who was riding on a horse, took a closer look and saw a kid who was just as tall as the shoulders of other mercenaries, carrying a two-handed broadsword and striding towards Bazso.
The kid walked with firm steps and no fear in his eyes, standing out among the group of cowering soldiers.
Guts pushed through the crowd and came to the center of the battlefield. He stopped and slammed the two-handed sword he was carrying into the ground with a clang. The blade sunk half a foot into the ground, sending up a few wisps of dust.
He raised his head and looked calmly at Bazso in front of him.
"Who is this?"
The Yoda soldiers around were whispering to each other, and there were bursts of sarcastic remarks.
"Where did this kid come from?"
"In the end, it must have been split in half from the top of the head."
They looked at Gus, who was not even as tall as themselves, with suspicion and disdain on their faces.
Gus ignored the gossip. He held up five fingers and said calmly:
"Ten silver coins."
"what?"
General Yoda, standing by, was in shock at the fact that the kid dared to fight Bazso, and for a moment he didn't react to what Guts was saying.
Gus sighed and explained:
We mercenaries are different from nobles. Reputation alone cannot fill our stomachs."
The Midland soldiers on the opposite side immediately became angry after hearing Gus's offer.
"How dare you insult Lord Bazso!"
They were all furious, and some even raised their weapons, wanting to rush over and teach this ignorant kid a lesson.
After General Yoda reacted, he looked at the calm Guts and said, "
It looks really reliable. Okay, as long as you can defeat that guy, I will give you 7 silver coins."
Hearing General Yoda bargaining, Guts could only complain:
"Tsk, what a stingy guy."
But he still pulled the two-handed sword out of the ground, held it in one hand, and walked towards Bazso opposite with firm steps.
Bazso looked Guts up and down. He first looked at Guts's weapon. The two-handed sword was still dripping with blood, indicating that this kid had killed someone. Then he looked at Guts himself. Although Guts was not tall due to his age, the muscles in his arms were strong and powerful. It was obvious that he often swung.
"You're going to regret this, kid."
Bazso was still full of confidence. He felt that with his own strength, dealing with this kid would be a piece of cake.
"What a shame! Your head is only worth seven silver coins, and then I'll chop it off..."
Before Bazso could finish his words, Gus raised his two-handed sword, rushed forward, used the momentum to jump high, and slashed at Bazso fiercely.
"Ok!"
Bazso quickly blocked the heavy blow with the long handle of his battle axe.
The heavy force made his palms numb, and he was shocked:
"How come this kid is so powerful!"
But Guts' second round of attack came immediately. Guts kept raising his two-handed sword and slashing at Bazso. Each sword was carried with great power and speed.
Bazso blocked and retreated continuously, his feet leaving deep footprints on the ground.
"No way."
"This kid beat Bazso back."
The soldiers watching were immediately shocked. They didn't expect that as soon as the battle started, this kid would actually suppress Bazso and beat him.
"Damn it! How dare you be so arrogant!"
Bazso was furious, his face flushed red and his eyes flashed with ferocity.
Afterwards, after he blocked one of Guts' attacks, Guts's two-handed sword got stuck directly on the axe blade.
When Guts was about to draw his weapon, Bazso kicked him away.
Guts lost his balance and stumbled back a few steps.
Bazso took advantage of Guts' unstable center of gravity, raised his battle axe, and chopped it down on the top of his head. The axe carried a tremendous force, as if it was going to split Guts in half.
Guts reacted extremely quickly, immediately raising his two-handed sword and chopped down at the battle axe.
The moment the weapons of both sides collided, sparks flew, and accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, a large gap appeared on Bazso's battle axe.
But Bazso didn't care at this time. After his attack failed, he immediately changed the direction of attack and chopped Gus's head sideways.
"good chance."
Gus cried out in his heart.
He noticed that the opponent, Bazso, was too focused on attacking, and because of his large body size, his lower body had no defense at all.
So Gus immediately made a life-threatening decision. He rushed directly towards Bazso's battle axe, then raised his two-handed sword and chopped it down hard on Bazso's right waist.
"bump!"
Bazso's battle axe hit Guts's head directly, but because the battle axe already had a crack, after the second impact, the battle axe immediately cracked after knocking Guts's helmet off.
Gus seized the opportunity and chopped down at Bazso's right waist, and blood gushed out immediately.
"what!"
Bazso felt the pain and immediately knelt on one knee. The confidence on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by pain and fear.
The surrounding soldiers stared at the result in shock. They couldn't believe that the seemingly powerful Bazso was beaten back by a little kid.
"what!"
Guts drew his two-handed sword, raised it above his head, and was about to strike at Bazso.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Bazso advised while enduring the pain.
"I admire your swordsmanship, Bazso..."
He tried to beg for mercy, hoping to save his life.
However, what was waiting for him was a broadsword coming from above his head. Gus did not hesitate at all. The sword fell and Bazso's head was directly split open along with the helmet. After the blood overflowed from the helmet, Bazso's body fell backwards to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Bazso, he's dead!"
The Midland soldiers in the front row looked at Bazso's miserable condition, then looked at Gus in front of them, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts, and they couldn't help but step back.
On the other hand, when Yoda saw that his side had killed Bazso, he immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers after a moment of silence.
They raised their weapons high and cheered as if they had already won the war.
Seeing that the morale was high, General Yoda drew his sword and shouted:
"The enemy is retreating now, all forces are charging!"
Immediately, the Yoda soldiers rushed towards the retreating Midlan soldiers like a tide.
The Midland soldiers, having lost their commander, naturally had no intention of defending and fled to the rear.
The battlefield suddenly became chaotic, with shouts, screams, and the clashing of weapons intertwined.
"Oh, my money is all gone!"
Gorkas, who was observing the battle from above, clapped his hands on the battlements, his face full of regret.
"If you want to complain, go talk to General Bazso. If he had been more conservative, it wouldn't have happened like this."
Jie Du beside him analyzed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"But this guy is really strong. He killed Bazuso in a short time."
Gorkas said this and looked at Griffith beside him.
"Griffith, who's stronger between you and him?"
"Don't ask such a stupid question. Of course Griffith is stronger!"
Casca, who was standing next to him, said to Gorkas, her eyes full of trust in Griffith.
Griffith just watched Guts pick up his helmet quietly, and his heart couldn't help but feel a palpitation.
He felt as if he had seen this person before, or that he was destined to meet this person.
That gaze, that aura, seemed to have an invisible attraction that made him unable to take his eyes off Gus.
"What are you all standing there in a daze for?"
Just then, Jiedu rushed up.
"We are now the defeated party and we can't get the commission at the moment. If we don't retreat, Yoda's army will charge over."
Griffith finally reacted at this time and then commanded the teams to retreat from the rear of the castle.
On the way of retreat, Griffith was still thinking about the mercenary who killed Bazso.
If the other party could join him, it would be a great help to his thriving mercenary group.
Thinking of this, Griffith asked Jie Du:
"Where is the nearest town where the mercenaries can rest?"
Jiedu glanced at the map and said:
"It's in this direction we're going. It's only another five or six miles away."
"Okay, notify the entire army to rest and reorganize on the spot."
Griffith said decisively.
"what?"
Although Jiedu didn't understand why Griffith chose to rest here, as the town was not far away, everyone was very tired after the battle, so he sent cavalry to inform them of the news.
"Oh, finally I got a break."
Gorkas and his men chose a location on a hill. He lay on the grassland, sunbathing and feeling the wind, feeling so leisurely.
"Captain Gorkas, come and see!"
Gorkas, who had not rested for long, got up slowly when he heard someone calling him.
"Really? What's going on?"
While complaining, he walked up the hill and looked at his team members.
"Look over there."
The team member pointed, and Gorkas looked and saw a familiar figure walking towards them on the path at the foot of the hill.
"It's the boy who killed Bazso."
Gorkas saw the familiar figure from afar, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
He slapped his thigh and excitedly said to his teammates:
"He killed Bazso, so he must be carrying a bounty on him now! Let's just rush over and kill him, and that'll just make up for the commission we didn't pay."
When he explained his idea to the team members around him, someone immediately looked embarrassed and said cautiously:
