Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
“Who are you people!” Morik roared angrily.
Although the knights who suddenly appeared startled him, there were only two of them, which was not enough for him to lose his composure.
“I am Mia’s superior. I’m here to bring my soldier back to her post.”
Nobody Does Human Things spoke calmly, but it was the silence before a volcanic eruption.
Mia looked at the person she had been longing for at the doorway, her eyes blurred with tears. She never imagined that Nobody Does Human Things would personally come to the small town for her, and even put himself in danger to rescue her.
“Lord…”
She covered her mouth, unable to help but cry out loud.
Nobody Does Human Things glanced at Mia. Seeing that she was unharmed, he was relieved and focused his attention on the upcoming battle.
There were a total of thirty-two militiamen in the courtyard, with an average level of only eight or nine.
The old man named Morik had decent strength; he was a Great Knight.
But for him and Leisurely Moment, someone in their early twenties was still not enough to worry about.
He held his breath, tightening his grip on the long sword in his hand.
Morik was glad he was wearing armor today. To show off his wealth, he had put on his best set.
His weapon was also a dark steel long sword that had been meticulously maintained over the years.
He lowered his mask, drew his sword, and locked his gaze onto Nobody Does Human Things.
“None of you will take my Morik’s wife away today!”
A clearing had already been made in the courtyard. The invited guests had retreated to a safe distance, watching the scene with interest.
Only Morik’s militiamen remained standing.
They held their oak shields, swords held horizontally in front of them, their eyes full of menace.
“What are you still waiting for?” Morik glanced at the militiamen beside him, his voice frighteningly low.
However, the knight at the door, riding a warhorse, had already initiated the charge.
Nobody Does Human Things struck first, rushing to Morik’s front. Under the charge of the warhorse, he appeared even more invincible.
Morik barely had time to raise his sword to block.
The knight’s long sword was fast and brutal. Morik blocked a swing aimed at his neck, and a tremendous force from the sword numbed his hand.
The moment they clashed, he knew something was wrong.
The knight before him was far superior in strength.
The opponent had completely suppressed him with brute strength alone, without even using his Qi.
But now, the arrow was on the string, and there was no turning back.
He gritted his teeth and, following the force, flipped sideways on the spot. Then, he swung his sword upwards, aiming at the knight’s warhorse.
Nobody Does Human Things had already foreseen Morik’s attack trajectory. He lifted his foot and kicked Morik’s sword-wielding right hand. Then, with a side chop to Morik’s ribs, his highly sharp six-edged sword cut through iron like mud. Morik’s ancestral armor was instantly torn apart, along with the skin on his chest.
The burning pain caused Morik to groan.
At this moment, Morik’s militiamen finally reacted and stepped forward to help, but their path was blocked by another knight.
Compared to the knight entangled with Morik, this knight was clearly more dishonorable, launching a Qi-infused sword light cross slash right away.
Several militiamen in the front hadn’t even reacted before they were sliced into uniform pieces by the sharp Qi Slash.
Meanwhile, in the center of the courtyard, Morik’s helmet was struck forcefully by Nobody Does Human Things.
It had to be said that the quality of this helmet was truly excellent.
Even if Nobody Does Human Things had struck it like a bell, he couldn’t break it.
However, Morik himself was seeing stars, dizzy and disoriented.
Nobody Does Human Things seized the opportunity, bent down, and swept his sword across Morik’s knee. The Qi Shield was like nothing in front of the extremely sharp long sword. Morik’s kneecap shattered, and he let out a scream as he knelt on the ground.
The next moment, the long sword pierced his neck like a venomous snake.
Nobody Does Human Things casually drew his sword.
Even without using Qi, dealing with such a weak opponent, ten levels below him, was very easy.
With the host Morik dead, a commotion of startled cries erupted in the courtyard.
Nobody Does Human Things sat on his warhorse, his cold sword not yet sheathed. Fresh blood still dripped from the tip of the sword onto the grass, trampled beyond recognition by the warhorse.
The surrounding guests, intimidated by the knights’ murderous gazes, dared not meet their eyes.
Nobody Does Human Things would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
These people were merely guests invited by Morik.
He even let Leisurely Moment spare the militiamen who were now kneeling and begging for mercy.
Nobody Does Human Things rode his horse to Mia’s side. He dismounted and gently lifted the veil from Mia’s head.
Beneath the veil was a delicate and lovely pretty face, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her captivating eyes gazed at him tenderly.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
They contained too many emotions.
In the past, he only thought it was admiration and respect.
Now that Mia was dressed as a woman, even if he was slow-witted, he understood.
Nobody Does Human Things paused, feeling a slight flush on his face. However, he immediately sobered up and, feigning a stern demeanor, roared:
“Soldier Mia, fall back in line!”
“Yes!” Mia, her tears replaced by a smile, stood tall and straight, just as Nobody Does Human Things had taught her before.
…
…
Half an hour later.
Two warhorses galloped leisurely across the wilderness.
On one horse was Leisurely Moment, full of food, and Mia’s father.
On the other horse was Nobody Does Human Things, who looked calm but was panicking internally.
Behind him sat Mia, her pretty face flushed crimson.
Mia was gently leaning her pretty face against Nobody Does Human Things’ back, her small hands naturally clasped around his waist.
Mia’s uncle, the drunkard, had been found in the town’s tavern. The old man was dead drunk, still muttering about wine and women. Nobody Does Human Things had cleanly slit his throat.
As for Morik’s son, he was just a fool who didn’t understand anything. Killing such a person was meaningless. Without Morik, the servants would naturally deal with the idiotic young man. Greed was always the most evil demon.
“Mia, can you not hold on so tightly?”
Feeling the tightening grip of her small hands around his waist, the girl behind him was practically trying to merge into his body. His body immediately stiffened.
“But Lord, I’m afraid of falling. I don’t know how to ride a horse…” Mia mumbled, burying her face in Nobody Does Human Things’ back, acting coyly.
Her identity as a woman had already been revealed anyway.
She had originally wanted to surprise Nobody Does Human Things.
It wasn’t too late for him to know now.
“By the way, Lord.” She asked timidly, “I shouldn’t have lied to you, but I was afraid that if I told you my gender, you wouldn’t want me as your attendant…”
Nobody Does Human Things’ lips twitched.
An attendant like Mia was like an SSR card appearing among a pile of R cards compared to the attendants of other players. Why would he not want her?
Although that was the reality, he still feigned anger in response:
“Deceiving your superior is a serious offense. Are you ready to accept your punishment?”
“How does Lord wish to punish Mia?”
Nobody Does Human Things pondered for a moment:
“Your punishment will be to thoroughly clean my armor and everything else.”
“Hee hee, I’m happy to oblige~”
The girl’s bell-like laughter carried far.
It gradually dissolved into the gentle breeze of the wilderness.
