Chapter 204: Alence’s Kidney Strike
Shortly after Robert’s army departed, Hitler remained somewhat uneasy.
The corner of his right eye had been twitching, always giving him the feeling that something bad was about to happen.
However, he reviewed everything he had experienced recently and found that he had accounted for all possibilities.
His subordinates were strong, and his aide Terrence was exceptionally intelligent.
With such favorable conditions in terms of time, location, and human relations, how could Hitler possibly lose?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
“Terrence, do you think Robert can successfully defeat those rebel forces of the Pope? You know the Pope is a Champion Level in strength…”
Hitler mulled over it, still feeling uneasy, and could only turn to the most resourceful person beside him, Terrence, for help.
“Please rest assured, my Lord,”
Terrence, or rather Alence, stood behind Hitler, his voice emanating a faint, eerie tone as he drew the dagger hidden at his waist.
“Whether Lord Robert can defeat the rebels is not important. What’s important is…”
What’s important is that you are about to die, my Lord.
Alence’s eyes glinted with malice. The dagger in his hand darted out like a viper, aiming straight for Hitler’s left kidney.
Knights had one Qi source in each kidney; destroying one would cripple half their strength.
However, relatively speaking, when Qi was activated, the kidneys were the areas with the highest Qi concentration and also the strongest defense.
He chose his attack timing meticulously, precisely when Hitler’s attention was somewhat diverted after asking his question.
But Hitler was, after all, a Sky Knight.
Although his strength was not impressive, being nearly forty years old and still in the novice stage of Sky Knight, it was still enough for him to react.
Alence was not Black Sword; he lacked that terrifying speed, nor did he have the ability to bypass Qi Shields and inflict direct damage.
Therefore, his thrust missed Hitler’s left kidney, but the dagger still pierced deep, entering the area near the left kidney.
With a twist of his wrist, Hitler’s left kidney sustained a significant injury.
This was the best possible outcome.
Alence couldn’t help but feel a touch of regret. Having missed his initial target, he quickly rolled away to create distance.
Although this strike didn’t completely cripple Hitler, it severely weakened his strength.
With five Great Knights and over ten thousand elite soldiers present, dealing with Hitler would be child’s play.
“Terrence! You…”
Hitler clutched his wound, his eyes filled with anger and disbelief. He looked as battered as a wounded beast.
He unleashed all his Qi. His left kidney throbbed with pain, and the Qi flow was intermittent, making it difficult to maintain his Sky Knight rank.
“I’m sorry, my Lord, I am not Terrence. Please take a closer look?”
As Alence spoke, he roughly pulled off the fake skin from his face and removed his black wig.
He transformed from a middle-aged man with a weathered face into a handsome and elegant young man.
“It’s you! Alence!? Impossible, aren’t you already dead?”
Hitler roared in disbelief. The messenger had returned with a report stating that Alence had been burned alive in the bushes…
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed, and a preposterous thought entered his mind.
Could it be…
“Heh heh, Lord Hitler, that messenger was also me. Terrence was also me. If the Jinshi territory was entirely filled with your personal guards, I’m afraid it would have been difficult for me to pull off such a deception.”
“But, unfortunately, when you had just taken over the Jinshi territory, Jinshi City was in utter chaos. In such a situation, infiltrating became quite simple.”
So that’s how it was, no wonder…
Hitler finally understood. No wonder such an intelligent person had suddenly pledged allegiance; it was all a scheme.
He glanced at the Great Knights and soldiers around him.
He saw that they all wore indifferent expressions.
It was clear that none of them were truly loyal to him. Under Alence’s direction, these people were already prepared to betray him at any moment.
“Robert and the others must have met a grim fate by now…”
Hitler sighed in dejection, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
His eyes darted around, hoping to find an opening to escape.
To his disappointment, he found that the surroundings were completely surrounded by soldiers.
“Don’t think about escaping, Hitler.”
A young man’s voice came from the direction of the city wall.
The voice was gentle, calm, and full of confidence.
He recognized this voice.
It was his most hated younger brother, Xiwei Jinshi.
The one who had gradually overshadowed him since birth.
“Damn it…”
Hitler looked towards the city wall.
Xiwei stood tall in full armor, accompanied by a few charming maids and his father, Duke Manhattan.
At this moment, his father’s gaze towards him was devoid of its usual warmth, replaced only by disappointment and coldness.
It was because he always fell short compared to his brother.
Hitler was often criticized by Duke Manhattan.
But back then, those criticisms were laced with his father’s hopes for his son.
But now, ever since he had personally handed over his own father to the Pope.
Their father-son bond had been severed.
“Hitler, I am very disappointed in you.”
Manhattan sighed, his brows furrowed, and his expression filled with a desolate sorrow.
“As the eldest son of the Jinshi Family, you were destined to inherit the Jinshi territory and my ducal title. No one would have contested that with you.”
“Even Xiwei never had such intentions; he went to the border territory to take up his post alone.”
“But you never should have schemed against your own brother, let alone against me, your father.”
“A beast like you, who disregards family ties and the order of seniority, out of our father-son relationship, I will not kill you. I will cripple your Qi and give you a barony to fend for yourself!”
